ADDENDUM
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program was established under the federal
Clean Water Act and then delegated to the Division of Water Quality for implementation in North Carolina. The
NPDES permitting program for stormwater discharges was established in 1990. Phase I focuses on site and
operations planning to reduce pollutant sources.
Through the NPDES permitting program industrial facilities that fall into one of the subject ten categories are
required to obtain permit coverage under a general permit or an individual permit, depending upon the
facilities SIC code and the industrial activity occurring at the facility. There are currently 19 active general
stormwater permits in North Carolina. One condition that is applicable to both the general permits and
individual stormwater permits is the requirement to develop and implement site -specific comprehensive
Stormwater Pollution Prevention plans (SPPP). These plans are required to include a comprehensive
evaluation of the site and operations to reduce pollutant sources and prevent pollutant discharge.
Copies of the general permits and accompanying documents can be accessed from the following webpage:
hftp://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/Forms—Documents.htm. Permit text, technical bulletins, discharge monitoring
forms, and a Notice of Intent [which is the application for coverage under a NPDES General Stormwater
Permit] can be found on this website.
The following items are a subset of permit requirements and are listed to assist you and help bring your
attention to certain permitting issues, process and condition requirements of your permit. Please see the
above mentioned website to obtain a copy of the permit so you may fully comply with all the conditions therein.
Failure to properly comply with conditions of the permit, like those bulleted below, is a violation(s) of
the permit and subject to civil penalty assessment(s) of up to $25,000.00 per day.
• Industrial facilities that fall into one of the subject ten categories are required to obtain permit coverage
under a general NPDES stormwater permit or an individual NPDES stormwater permit
• All persons desiring to have facilities covered by a General Permit must register_ with the Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) by filing of a Notice of Intent (NOI) and Applicable Fees.
• This Notice of Intent (NOI) must be submitted and a Certificate of Coverage issued prior to any
discharge of stormwater associated with the industrial activity, process wastewater, and/or mine
dewatering.
• Once the Notice of Intent is received, DWQ will review and determine whether a Certificate of Coverage
(COC) may be issued. If this Certificate of Coverage is issued the facility is covered by the General
Permit. That is, the permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater, process wastewater, and/or mine
dewatering pursuant to the type of General Permit until the permit expires or is modified or revoked.
• Any other point -source discharge to surface waters of the state is prohibited unless it is an allowable
non-stormwater discharge or is covered by another permit, authorization, or approval.
• There are currently 19 active general permits. Permit conditions vary accordingly-, however, most of the
permits have the following condition requirements (you must read your entire permit to ensure full
compliance):
o Development and compliance with the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
o Collection, reporting, and recording of Analytical Monitoring
o Collection, reporting, and recording of Qualitative Monitoring

ADDENDUM
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program was established under the federal
Clean Water Act and then delegated to the Division of Water Quality for implementation in North Carolina. The
NPDES permitting program for stormwater discharges was established in 1990. Phase I focuses on site and
operations planning to reduce pollutant sources.
Through the NPDES permitting program industrial facilities that fall into one of the subject ten categories are
required to obtain permit coverage under a general permit or an individual permit, depending upon the
facilities SIC code and the industrial activity occurring at the facility. There are currently 19 active general
stormwater permits in North Carolina. One condition that is applicable to both the general permits and
individual stormwater permits is the requirement to develop and implement site -specific comprehensive
Stormwater Pollution Prevention plans (SPPP). These plans are required to include a comprehensive
evaluation of the site and operations to reduce pollutant sources and prevent pollutant discharge.
Copies of the general permits and accompanying documents can be accessed from the following webpage:
http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/ws/su/npdessw#General_Permits_NPDES. Permit text, technical bulletins,
discharge monitoring forms, and a Notice of Intent [which is the application for coverage under a NPDES
General Stormwater Permit] can be found on this website.
The following items are a subset of permit requirements and are listed to assist you and help bring your
attention to certain permitting issues, process and condition requirements of your permit. Please see the
above mentioned website to obtain a copy of the permit so you may fully comply with all the conditions therein.
Failure to properly comply with conditions of the permit, like those bulleted below, is a violation(s) of
the permit and subject to civil penalty assessment(s) of up to $25,000.00 per day.
• Industrial facilities that fall into one of the subject ten categories are required to obtain permit coverage
under a general NPDES stormwater permit or an individual NPDES stormwater permit
• All persons desiring to have facilities covered by a General Permit must register with the Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) by filing of a Notice of Intent (NOI) and Applicable Fees.
• This Notice of Intent (NOI) must be submitted and a Certificate of Coverage issued prior to any
discharge of stormwater associated with the industrial activity, process wastewater, and/or mine
dewatering.
• Once the Notice of Intent is received, DWQ will review and determine whether a Certificate of Coverage
(COC) may be issued. If this Certificate of Coverage is issued the facility is covered by the General
Permit. That is, the permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater, process wastewater, and/or mine
dewatering pursuant to the type of General Permit until the permit expires or is modified or revoked.
• Any other point -source discharge to surface waters of the state is prohibited unless it is an allowable
non-stormwater discharge or is covered by another permit, authorization, or approval.
• There are currently 19 active general permits. Permit conditions vary accordingly; however, most of the
permits have the following condition requirements (you must read your entire permit to ensure full
compliance):
o Development and compliance with the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
o Collection, reporting, and recording of Analytical Monitoring

Permit: NCGO50013 Owner - Facility: Textile Rubber & Chemical Company Inc
Inspection Date: 04/11/2008 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
Facility Description:
This facility produces textile coatings and is located on a 1.93-acre site, which is mostly covered by impervious surfaces.
All of the manufacturing processes of the plant are inside the facility under cover. The facility uses latex, ammonia, and
calcium carbonate in its business processes. The facility has two large tanks on the rear of the parcel that were used at
one point to store large volumes of latex. These tanks were reported as empty and unused at the time of inspection. The
facility has a calcium carbonate storage silo which is exposed to stormwater. The facility also stores plastic totes outside.
No totes were found to be open or leaking at the time of inspection. No other portions of plant operations are directly
exposed to stormwater_ All other storage and processes are located inside the facility.
Compliance History:
This permittee was inspected by Charlotte -Mecklenburg stormwater Services (CMSWS) on March 11, 2005, as part of
their industrial inspection program. The permittee was issued a Notice of Violation (NOV) by the Division of Water Quality
for deficiencies in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, illicit discharges of latex at the stormwater outfalls, and an
illicit discharge of -wastewater from the washing/loading area.
CMSWS reports indicate that the deficiencies noted in the NOV were remedied as of August 8, 2005. The facility was
sampled as part of the CMSWS stormwater industrial monitoring program. The stormwater sample taken from the facility
contained elevated concentrations of zinc. Facility personnel noted that housekeeping steps have been taken to lower
the zinc concentrations in discharged stormwater.
Industrial Operations/City of Charlotte Stormwater Ordinance Review:
Loading/Unloading Area -
The facility has a loading/unloading area where some industrial washing is also performed. The loading/unloading area is
exposed to stormwater. This area has a storm drain with a valve that can be closed. This valve is reported by facility staff
to be closed when loadinglun loading or washing operations are performed at this area. Any spilled materials or
commercial wastewaters are then recovered for disposal.
The loading/unloading storm drain valve must be kept shut and locked as this area is functioning like a secondary
containment area. Stormwater in this area must be evaluated for contamination prior to its release. A log of release
events must be kept_ Spills and commercial wastewater discharges in this area must be recovered appropriately.
No deficiencies with regard to the City of Charlotte Stormwater Ordinance with found during the inspection. Please
continue to maintain a high level of housekeeping at this site.

GENERAL:
The Mecklenburg County Water Quality Program (MCWQP) conducted one previous
inspection of General Latex and Chemical Corporation of N.C. (currently, Textile Rubber &
Crhemical Co. Inc.) on March 22, 1999. A response letter from General Latex and Chemical
Corporation of N.C. dated March 19, 1999 indicated that MCWQP made several
recommendations and conclusions in the report_ A Notice of Violation was not issued On
March 25, 1999, MCWQP sampled the outfall and no action was required.
PERMIT:
Textile Rubber & Chemical Co. Inc., Charlotte Division holds a General NPDES
Stormwater Permit, NCG050000, Certificate of Coverage NCG050013. The permit was renewed
on May 1, 2003 and will expire on April 30, 2008. The Permit authorizes the permittee to
discharge stormwater associated with rubber and miscellaneous products [SIC 30], which has
been adequately treated and managed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this General
Permit, to the surface waters of the North Carolina or separate storm sewer system. All
discharges shall be in accordance with the conditions of this permit.
RECORDSIREPORTS:
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP):
As required by the permit, Textile Rubber & Chemical Co. Inc. developed a SPPP. A
copy of the SPPP was made available prior to the inspection, but the SPPP was not current_ The
plan was revised and updated, and the current copy of the SPPP was reviewed on -site. The SPPP
has not been updated on an annual basis, as required by the permit. The signatory page of the
permit was not signed by the SPPP coordinator. The updated SPPP was thorough and addressed
most of the requirements of the permit; however, some deficiencies were noted in the
implementation of the plan.
Source Inspection Log:
Records indicate that each pollutant source was inspected on a semi-annual basis from
October 18, 1993 to December 4, 2001. Descriptions and the appearance of the sources and
surrounding areas were documented. There was no description of the appearance of the
stomnwater inlet. The records include dates and persons performing the inspections. The permit
requires the permittee to maintain these records on site for a period of 5 years and to perform the
inspections on a semi-annual basis. The last inspection documented was December 4, 2001.
Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping. -
There were no available preventative maintenance records or regular cleaning schedules.
A she plan / floor plan indicating employees who are assigned and responsible for housekeeping
and maintenance was available, but not implemented in the SPPP.

RECORDS/REPORTS (Cunt.):
Employee Training Records:
There. were no records of employee training. The SPPP indicates all new employees will
be trained and a refresher course offered annually.
Facility Inspection Records:
These records were noted in the Stormwater Discharge Outfall (SDO) / Qualitative
Monitoring Report and the Source Inspection Log.
Stormwater Discharge Outfall (SDO) / Qualitative Monitoring Report:
Records indicate a qualitative monitoring report has been maintained on a semi-annual
basis from March 25, 1999 to November 18, 2004.
Analytical Monitoring. -
The Permit does not require analytical monitoring. The SPPP should state that the facility
does not have any vehicle maintenance activity occurring on -site which uses more than 55 gallons
of new motor oil per month when averaged over the calendar year.
Rating: Unsatisfactory
FACILITY SITE REVIEW:
Textile Rubber & Chemical Co. Inc., Charlotte Division, is located new the intersection of
North Davidson and Fast 27`h Street, approximately 2 miles north of downtown Charlotte, NC.
There are two stormwater outfalls that discharge to an unnamed tributary leading to Little Sugar
Creek, thence to the Catawba River. Textile Rubber's parking area has been graded such that all
stormwater runoff from the rooftop and parking lots is directed via sheet flow to the unnamed
tributary. One downspout discharges to a storm sewer owned and maintained by the City of
Charlotte. The facility is located on a 1.933 acre site with approximately 90% of the drainage area
as impervious surface.
Mr. Les Davis, General Manager, gave the following description of the facility.
The facility was built in 1958 under the ownership of General Latex & Chemical Corporation of
N.C. and was bought out in April of 2001 by Textile Rubber & Chemical Co. Inc. The primary
function of the facdity is to make fabric coatings for upholstery, carpet, mattresses, and other
fabrics. The coatings provide strength, flexibility and fire protection. They produce natural latex
and compounded natural and synthetic latex. They do use ammonia -based emulsifiers, but no
longer use formaldehyde. They have a contract with Clean Harbors to dispose of approximately
5,000 gallons of waste every 2 weeks. The facility has approximately 30 storage tanks and a
variety of mixers ranging from 5 gallon mixers to tanker trucks that carry 5,000 gallons. They
process 40 million pounds of latex per year. There is a rail car spur to the rear of the facility,
which is no longer in use, but could be reactivated if needed. They have 25 employees, 3 of
which are truck drivers.

FACILITY SITE REVIEW (Continued):
The primary structure is constructed of concrete block walls and concrete floors. This
part of the structure is in good condition overall, except for a pipe through the concrete block
wall on the southwest side of the budding that is not permanently sealed and a door with a two
imch gap at the bottom. Chemical residue was noted on the outside wall of both of these areas
and is exposed to stormwater. The rear of the structure and part of the loading area is
constructed of comigated metal walls and concrete floors. Over time, forklifts have pushed the
corrugated metal walls out and chemical residue was noted on the outside walls. Les Davis stated
that all floor drains inside the structure have been permanently sealed.
The outdoor storage practices that are exposed to stormwater are as follows:
There are no outside process areas.
• There are two unlabeled supertanks to the rear of the building that are no longer in
use. The secondary containment wall is damaged.
• There is a tratila parking area where a small amount of overflow from the tankers
was noted.
• On the northeast side, there is a tank truck loading dock area and truck wash area
with a secondary containment wall and an overhead canopy. Tank trucks make
bulk deliveries of natural latex and synthetic rubber. This area has a floor drain
with valve that is closed during loading and truck washing. Detergent is used to
wash the outside of the tankers. The General Manager stated that the current
practice is to open this valve allowing wastewater to discharge directly to the
unnamed trrbutary. Latex residue was noted at the discharge pipe and on the creek
bank. Accumulated wastewater from the cleaning of the inside of the tankers is
pumped to drums and properly disposed of off site.
• On the southwest side, there is a silo with a screw conveyor where whiting is
transferred from tank trucks. There are _two 8 cubic yard trash boxes with covers
that are kept closed. There is no secondary containment or overhead protection for
either area. Calcium carbonate'and other dry chemicals were noted on the ground_
This area is swept once a week. There are two storm drains that could discharge
to the creep one is permanently sealed and the other has a rubber cover that is
used during loading and unloading operations. The General Manager stated this
area is swept to clean spill material prior to drain seals being removed before a
storm event Latex residue was noted at the discharge pipe and on the creek bank.
• Replacement propane cylinders are stored on a rack along the outside wall on the
southwest side of the building and were in good condition.
Rating. Unsatisfactory
EFFLUENTiRECE"G WATERS:
This inspection was conducted during clear, dry -weather conditions. One dry -weather
flow was observed at the fac&y during the inspection. The outfall is located along the creek
bank between the two stormwater outfalls. There was no documentation that the outlet had been
evaluated.

EFFLUENT/RECE"G WATERS (Continued):
The two stonmvAater outfi& were inspected for indicators of stormwater pollution. Each
pipe had latex residue with no odor, foam, oil sheen or floating solids. A significant amount of
accumulated grey residue was observed at each outlet. Actions should be taken to remove this
material from the stream bed. The receiving stream, an unnamed tributary to Little Sugar Creek,
was not turbid and the discoloration and residue appeared to be only on the creek bank.
Little Sugar Creek was not evaluated during this inspection and no samples were
collected.
Radng: UnsaWadory
SELF -MONITORING PROGRAM:
The hcWs Permit requires that qualitative monitoring be conducted twice per year.
Facility records were reviewed from March 1999 to November 2004. The records indicate that
monitoring has been conducted as required by the permit.
OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE:
The following is in violation of the North Carolina General Statute (G.S.) 143-215.1 and
is not permitted under the General Permit:
* Illicit discharge of wastewater at truck wash / loading area This discharge must be
stopped immediately.
The overall operation and maintenance strategy for this facility appears to be appropriate.
Better housekeeping practices and maintenance were suggested during the inspection
• Repair gap under the exterior door to prevent material from getting outside.
• Label all drums (inside and outdoors).
a Permanently seal pipe through exterior wail.
• Repair exterior corrugated metal wall.
• More aggressive maintenance and / or a new BMP at the silo and dumpsters where
calcium carbonate and other dry chemicals were noted_
• Evaluate BMP's for management of stormwater runoff from the south side of the budding.
• Clean the areas of contamination at the 2 discharge pipes.
Rating: UnsaWadory
STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION:
The Permit requim the Permittee to develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, as
detailed in Part II, Section A. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. The Permittee has
developed a Plan, however, components of the Plan were not implemented as specified below:

STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION (Continued):
1. Part 11, Section A. 1. Site'Plan :
The SPPP contains a site plan; however, the following was not included:
(b) "A narrative description of waste disposal practices, ..."
(c) The site map should contain "storage of materials, disposal areas, and
activities occurring in the drainage area, all existing BWs and
impervious surfaces For each outfall, a narrative description of the
potential pollutants which could be expected to be present in the
stormwater discharge. "
(e) "Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the
presence of non-stormwater discharges. " The responsible officer did not
sign the certification.
2. Part II, Section A. 2. Stormwater Management Plan:
The SPPP contains a stormwater management plan; however, the following was not
incorporated:
(a) Feasibility Study. "A review of the technical and economic feasibility of
changing the methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate
or reduce exposure of materials and processes to stomwater. " Not all
BMPs were shown on the site plan or described in the Stortnwater
management plan- Acdditionai measures should be impiemented to IWU(X
stormwater exposure. Facility housekeeping schedule should be more
aggressive.
(b) Secondary Containment Schedule. The Permit requires the perm ittee to
inspect accumaulated stormwater before it is released; the SPPP does not
state if it is inspected before releasing.
(c) BMP Summary. The SPPP does not list all BMPs. The truck wash /
loading area BMP should be evaluated to address the illicit discharge.
3. Part II, Section A. 7. Plan Amendment:
The Permit recluses the permittee to review and update the SPPP on an annual basis.
The SPPP was updated on March 2005; the original copy was dated April 1993.
4. Part II, Section A. 9. Implementation:
Records of SPPP Employee Training, Preventative Maintenance and Good
Housekeeping were not available. The Source Inspection Log and Annual Program
Review are not current and have not been performed on a semi-annual basis.
