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 in stormwater
runoff.
Copies of the general permits and accompanying documents can be accessed from the following webpage:
-htt :/1 ortal.nedenr.or /web/w /ws/su/n dessw#General Permits NPDES Permit text, technical bulletins,
discharge monitoring forms, a Notice of Intent [which is the application of for coverage under a NPDES
General Stormwater Permit], and the Representative Outfall Status application 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
abovementioned website to obtain a copy of the permit so you may fully comply with the conditions therein.
Failure to properly comply with conditions of the permit, like those bulleted below, constitutes permit
violations and is subject to civil penalty assessment 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 the 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

Comment: The SPPP was dated 2010; please be aware that the general permit
requires annual updates to the plan. The SPPP contained an excellent feasibility
study. The plan (dated April 2010) noted no spills had occurred for the past three
years. This statement should be updated annually.
Please review the general permit and update relevant sections of the SPPP (e.g. current
plan does not refer to a secondary containment schedule).
Training on proper completion of the discharge log from the secondary containment
structures was completed in 2012. Inspector discussed with facility personnel
combining annual Hazardous Waste and stormwater training to meet annual training
requirements.
Permittee has done a good job of implementing the SPPP.

Has the facility conducted its Analytical monitoring?
# Has the facility conducted its Analytical monitoring from Vehicle Maintenance areas?
Comment: Vehicle maintenance is not performed on site so no analytical monitoring is
required.
Permit and Outfalls
# Is a copy of the Permit and the Certificate of Coverage available at the site?
# Were all outfalls observed during the inspection?
# If the facility has representative outfall status, is it properly documented by the Division?
# Has the facility evaluated all illicit (non stormwater) discharges?
Comment: The permittee had noted three outfalls in the SPPP. The site walk-through
revealed that Outfall 003 received runoff from an employee parking lot and the runoff
from 12 Street SE; therefore the permittee can cease monitoring this.outfall. Please
update the SPPP to note that Outfall 003 does not require qualitative monitoring.
An illicit discharge evaluation was performed in 2010 when permit coverage was
received; please note that the general permit requires annual evaluation.. An evaluation
of all drop inlets on site was completed during the inspection. Please verify (and
document in the SPPP) that air conditioner condensate is the dry weather flow noted in
the inlet near the virgin solvent area and from the discharge pipe for Outfall 002.

Rob Krebs, Mooresville Regional Office:
Please review the attached NOI application with the objective of responding to me with a recommendation to issue the
permit. I recognize that you may not visit each new permittee during this NOI review, but it affords you the opportunity
to log the permit into your regional database and add the facility to a future monitoring and compliance visit schedule.
Therefore, your recommendation now to issue the permit serves as your acknowledgement that (1) the facility is located
in your region, (2) that there are no current complaints outstanding about the facility that have not been dealt with, and
(3) that the facility may ultimately be inspected by the regional staff. I've also attached a scanned copy of the NOI and a
location map for your review.

If you need any more info, give me a call. If you could send me a recommendation to issue the permit by 09/17/2010,
I'd appreciate it, so I can issue their COC. I cannot issue the permit until the respective regional office reviews and
comments back to me with a recommendation to issue the permit.
Thanks.
