Erich,
How are you doing today? Ken & I read and discussed your inspection report. We also discussed previous
correspondence about the permit, the site and their application. The permittee, by all accounts, was on track to get a
COC under General Permit NCG050000 to replace their individual permit before this accident. We discussed the
accidental spill, and think that this single occurrence does not seem sufficient basis to deny COC under N
especially since it was not caused as a direct effect of their process or procedures.

I haven't received anything yet on a request to rescind from either Schaefer Systems or AMEC Wheeler for
permit #NCS000526. I asked Bethany Georgoulias about it and she said a simple email from the client would work since
they already have an NOI in with us for coverage under NCGO50000. If it's ok with you and Erich, I will email Morris
Marlow and ask him to send that response so we can get this permit out the door. Unless you think the email should
come from Erich instead.

Inspection [late: 041M015 tmpec thn Typo: Cmphance Evaluation Reason for Vielr Complaint
Inspection Summary:
Inspection was for a request to Rescind permit NCS 000526 and apply for coverage under the general permit NCO 0501 ,
This facility manufactures roll out containers for munidpaiities and also receives containers to be recycled. Prior to arrival
for this inspection, the facility had a spill of approximately 50 gallons of paint. The paint spilled during the off loading of a roll
out container sent to this facility to be recycled. This particular container had paint material in it which spilled into a
stormwater inlet leading to the retention basin. At this time, the spill material had not reached the discharge point of the
basin.
The facility had implemented a spilt response and had already notified a remediation company as well as ordering
immediate sampling of the outfall to ensure no trace elements of the containment entered the tributary.
The facility will submit test results once they are returned.
As for the request to rescind permit NCS 000526 and issue general permit coverage, due to facility history and curmnt
conditions the request should be denied.

I spoke with Morris Marlow at this facility and explained they need to submit a request to have their current individual
permit rescinded, before this General Permit can be issued.
He was going to call the firm who handles the storm water and have it sent to Raleigh.
Once we receive the request we can then move forward with this.

(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.

RE: NCDENR Individual Permits - Schaefer NCS000526
Thanks, Hunter.
This is all good.
As per our previous discussions, we are going to interpret this data set as indicating that the site fits our concept of a key
attribute of a General Permit site: namely that we expect such sites to present little to no threat to water quality from
stormwater discharges. I don't know whether it was the work done to re -vegetate bare yard areas, or whether it was
the expansion and re -work of the detention pond, or whether Schaefer has improved on -site housekeeping, or whether
some other factor is responsible for the improvement.
I looked closely at the last two samples and noted that they were slightly off schedule, but we have already discussed
that, and 1 have no problem with it since 1 don't think the (slightly) missed sampling periods are relevant to
characterizing the site as a low -risk site, suitable for coverage under a General Permit.
Please advise Schaefer that we will be receptive to an application for coverage under NCG05 in lieu of renewinp,
NC5000526. Instructions and forms for applying for coverage can be found on our website. The fee is $100. We are not
able to apply any fees assessed under NCS000526 to the new NCG05 application.
Please contact me if I can help further.

Subject: RE: NCDENR Individual Permits - Schaefer NCS000526
Hi Hunter,
I hope l haven't forgotten the nuances on this request since I first began to participate in the discussions on this topic in
January 2013. Here's how I remember it now, and what my review today of the email correspondence indicates to
me. Please let me know if I have overlooked any part relevant to our previous discussions on whether we would issue
coverage under NCGOS to Schaefer. My historical summary:
• The past problem of unauthorized discharge of wastewaters through the stormwater system has been
resolved. Schaefer no longer dumps oily wash waters into the drainage grate. No further issues remain on this
as ect as far as I remember.
• That issue gave rise to the need for an individual permit (NCS000526) for this site as directed by the Mooresville
Regional Office, rather than a General Permit.
• Schaefer submitted a renewal application for NC5000526 in April, 2013, but we still have not assigned a reviewer
for it. Our progress against our backlog of individual permit renewals has been improving, but still many permits
remain unaddressed: it's not just Schaefer.
• The key remaining issue as I recall it now is that coverage under NCGOS does not include monitoring for COD or
TS5, for which Schaefer has had past benchmark exceedances. The sampling record that you provided in
your January 2013 Stormwater Monitoring Report (tabulating data from 2009 through 2012) suggests an

improving trend in monitoring results. That monitoring record ends with the December 20, 201Z sampling
event, now almost two years old.
• Please update the monitor in record th©ugh-the more recent same results by amending the tabulation
previously i3royided. It would help me if you would include the all previously tabulated data, and just extend the
current tabulation format to include all data on all parameters gathered since 2009. 1 like the presentation of it,
it makes it easy to grasp the time frame and results.
• As I indicated in previous emoils, we are amenable to coverage under NCGOS, if the sampling record supports
that change. 1 mean, what is foremost in my mind is that NCGOS does not test far TSS and COD. Schaefer will
need to show that the trend in the data has continued, and that TSS and COD performance are no longer an
issue, and that no new issues with other parameters have arisen. On that basis we can switch to NCGO5.
• Please note that while we still have Schaefer in the queue for processing of NCS000526, l can't give you a reliable
estimate of when we can get to it. On the other hand, our current turn -around time for coverage under the
General Permits, including NCGOS, is a matter of just a veryfew weeks.
• If we move forward with NCGOS we will rescind coverage under NCS000526 concurrently with issuance of
coverage under NCGOS.
Hunter, please contact me if we need to discuss further. Looking forward to reviewing the updated tabulated data.

OK, got it. Thanks.
So then also the 5/15/2014 sampling event similarly would be attributable to the period Nov 2013-April 2014,
right? And so would again be a little bit late. But, we don't have any heartache on either of those points.
I'll try to look at this next week (out of the office tomorrow), and advise on NCG05.

Actually, it benefits the progress on our backlog if we can legitimately switch a backlogged and labor intensive individual
permit renewal to a more quickly and easily executed General Permit issuance.

Ken,
The sampling term was Nov 2012 — April 2013 and May 2013 — October 2013. One sample was taken in Dec 2012 and
for the next term, we missed the window and sampled late in Dec. 2013. The lack of sampling was due to the timing of
the rains and availability of staff to take the sample. Please let me know if you need any more information.

Probably ........ but I have only just now scanned the email string you sent earlier this month. I'll need to get back into our
previous conversations, and be sure I remember/understand everything we were concerned about back in April 2013

before I can say we will entertain an application under NCGOS. Again,/ think we would be receptive, and it appears from
the emails that that is what we had in mind, but give me just a few more days to catch up on it first.
note that per the tabulated data you sent, the permittee only took a single sample in 2013, and so it appears he was
not taking the number of samples required by the permit. Why not?

Hi Hunter, nice to hear from you again,
• I'm just returning from two weeks' vacation this week, and I did not see your June 2, 2014 email until this
week. Sorry for the delayed response.

It appears that our last prior communications were in April 2013. We were engaged together in considering the
possibility and the timing of covering Schaefer under our General Permit NCG05 instead of the current individual
permit, NCS000526. As indicated by the email string and as I think I recall now, at that time it seemed to us that
Schaefer should instead apply for renewal of NC5000526, and should postpone their request for coverage under
our General Permit NCG05, partially because of the timing of the pending permit expiration, and partially in
response to our need for more sampling data in support of any request to switch coverage over to NCG05.
I note that Schaefer indeed applied for renewal of NCS000526 in the fourth week of April 2013. However, our
permits database shows that a permit reviewer has not yet been assigned: At the moment the DEML.R
Stormwater Permitting Program (SPP) has a substantial backlog of past due permit renewals (like Schaefer) and
aging new permit applications. We are holding the Schaefer renewal application until SPP staff become
available to work on it. As of two months ago, we are in the middle of an expedited push on our aging permits
backlog, but we haven't gotten to Schaefer, yet.
o Federal NPDES rules provide that when a permittee submits a timely renewal application for an existing
permit, the expired permit remains in effect until the agency can act on the renewal application. This
means that while the face of NCS000526 has an expiration date of October 31, 2013, the permit still
remains in effect today. This federal rule provision works to protect Schaefer from discharging without
a permit due to our delay. They are not at risk because of the expired permit. That is, Schaefer is still
authorized to discharge stormwater, in accordance with the provision of NCS000526.
So just to further clarify Schaefer's permitting_ status and our jargon: I note your email from June 2 inquiring
about, "the possibility of returning to on individual permit." I need to clarify that Schaefer doesn't need to
"return" to an individual permit. The individual permit they already have is currently in effect. Today they
should be abiding by ail the provisions of NCS000526.
When a permit reviewer is assigned to Schaefer (probably me, but not necessarily), he will contact Schaefer to
let them know to expect action on the pending renewal application, and whether any additional information is
required to process the renewal. Until then, I can't provide a reliable estimate of when we will be finished with
the renewal of NCS000526.
Hunter, please contact me again if we need to discuss further,
Best regards,
Ken

Ken,
Thanks for all of your help with our permit. The client has decided to go ahead and apply for the individual permit and
sample according to the required schedule. Once we get two more consecutive clean samples, we will apply for a
general permit. OK, no problem. We will be glad to still consider the five consecutive sample events as a basis for
transferring Schaefer's coverage from the individual permit to the General Permit.
I believe they were concerned about not getting 2 samples completed before we had to apply for the individual
permit. QK, understandable.
I have a question about the individual permit renewal application. I have looked at what was originally submitted, EPA
Form 1 General and 2F NPDES. Do we need to submit these same forms for renewal? No we use the 1 and 2F only or
the initial application. Renewals are via a much simpler, shorter form. We typically moil these out to folks well in
advance of the oermit ex irution dote. Let me check and get back to you on whether we have a record of having
already done this with Schafer. if not. I'll prompt us to do it now; oral guess, even it we have already done it, I'll send
you a duplicate since apparently they don't have it now, right?
The permit states that we must submit forms and fees required for renewal but doesn't state which forms. If we are
required to submit form 2F, I noticed on the Form 2F that the form requires BOD, COD, TSS, pH and Oil and Grease
samples. These are all part of our IP required samples. Form 2F also asks for a Total Nitrogen and Total
Phosphorus. Are these also required since they are not part of our IP? No. New, additional testing is not required fpr the
renewal process. Forms 1 and 2F do notpertain in a renewal situation.
Marcia, Anything to add?
Thanks again for your help,

Hi Hunter,
Thanks for the information forwarded over the last week.
i have discussed the site circumstances with Marcia Allocco in Mooresville, and have reviewed the MACTEC reports that
you have sent me. I've also reviewed past correspondence contained in our file here in the stormwater Permitting Unit.
As of today, DWQ is not yet ready to entertain Schaefer's application for coverage under the storrwater General Permit
NCG05, in lieu of coverage under the current individual stormwater permit, NCS000526.
However, we note the following favorable circumstances in support of your inquiry as to when Schaefer might obtain
coverage under a General Permit:
o The accumulated data over four years establishes that the original problem of oil and grease discharges has
been effectively addressed by Schaefer. As I understand it, dumping of petroleum -laden wastewater has been
stopped as a routine operating practice; a remedial dean -up action on the area with accumulated residuals has
been accomplished; and renovations to the dry detention basin were accomplished in December 2010.
o Three consecutive monthly sampling events were accomplished over the second half of 2012, which in
accordance with the terms of the permit, allows the permittee to return to semi-annual monitoring for the last
remaining monitoring period in this term of NCS000526 (May 1, 2013 — October 31, 2013.)
o Absent an identified polluted stormwater discharge, this subcategory of industry would be eligible for coverage
under our General Permit NCG05, based on the generally expected low potential for stormwater pollution at
such industries. Note that our General Permit for this subcategory of industry, NCG05, contains no analytical
monitoring requirements based on the main process activity. It is our general judgment that this should be a
low -risk industry sub -sector.
In consideration of these aspects, DWQ will consider an application for coverage under General Permit NCG05, provided
that Schaefer can produce two more consecutive monitoring events (for a total of five consecutive over two years) in
2013 with all parameters within the benchmarks contained in the current permit. Given that the current permit will
expire on October 31, 2013, this indicates to me that you cannot wait to take samples on a semi-annual schedule, but
must instead adopt a schedule somewhat similar to the monthly schedule that you have been on over the last three
years. We can also agree to forgive any late submittal of the renewal application for NCS000526, up to a point_ if the
extra sampling does not work out for Schaefer, we will consider as timely Schaefer's renewal application for NCS000526
if we receive it as late as July 1, 2013.
Please contact me or Marcia with any questions or comments.
Best regards,
Ken

Ken,
During the January 2011 sample, a background sample was also collected to determine if the elevated COD levels were
already present in the stormwater before contact with the site. The background sample was stormwater collected in a
stainless steel bowl decontaminated with isopropyl alcohol followed by distilled water. The results indicated the COD
levels were present in the background sample (195 mg1Q at similar levels to the outfall sample (184 mg/L). We had
been attempting to obtain a background sample previously however, the difficulty in obtaining a background sample
was that there was not sufficient water to sample. Please refer to the discussion and recommendations section of the
January 2011 report.
After the April 2012 exceedance, the recommendation was still to try to obtain a background sample at the time of the
outfall sample. However, it had been difficult to obtain sufficient water to sample. Many of the events sampled were
light rainfall events and background COD samples were not collected, In addition to the recommendation of a
background COD sample, AM EC recommended to continue stormwater management inspections of the facility, review
storage practices and continue good housekeeping practices. We still attempted to collect background samples during
events.
During the August 29, 2012 sample, a background sample was taken. Both the background and outfall 001 sample were
<25 mg/L.
I have attached the Stormwater Monitoring Reports from the two exceedances. Please let me know if there is anything
else I can provide.

Hi Hunter,
So, has the permittee conducted his Tier 1 response actions on these two exceedances?
I mean, has he conducted a walk -around to identify the possible source of the COD, has he recorded that action in his
SPPP, did he consider the feasibility of several response options, and if any were judged feasible did he select one and
implement it? In short, has he made the required Tier 1 responses to those two COD exceedances?
it sometimes happens that the facility can conduct the Tier 1, and still be left with a mystery. We understand that. Fill
me in on what response the permittee made to these exceedances when they occurred, please.

Thanks, Hunter,
• I note that the facility has installed a 4" turn -down pipe to effectively reduce the discharge rate and presumably
allow more settling time compared to the previous 12" discharge pipe.
So of all samples taken at this location, how many have shown exceedances of COD since the installation of this
modification to the outlet structure in December 2010?

Hi Hunter,
OK, good, thanks for confirming that we are ail understanding site history the same way. Sorry to slow down our
progress.
Give me just a couple of days to talk with Marcia about the site. I'm interested in more details and MRO's
recommendation on the question of individual vs. General Permit. At the moment, I see the relevant aspects like this:
FOR GENERAL PERMIT COVERAGE: The original problem, the 0&G, has essentially gone away, that's good.
AGAINST: Three out of eight reporting results show COD exceedances over the 120 mg/L benchmark: 245 mg/L, 373
mg/L, and the last one of 147 mg/L in April 2012. The last three sample events in 2012 show COD less than the
benchmark for COD. What if the future progresses like the past, I mean what if three out of every eight discharges are
high in COD? How will the site manager ever know that he has a problem if he is not sampling for it under NCG05? On
what basis would he ever act to correct that pollutant discharge?
So, give us just a few days to chew on this.

Ken,
was incorrect in my identification of the source of the oil contamination. I was not working with on this project at the
time of the incident and I was only going off memory and hearsay from 2009 when I began to perform storrnwater
inspections at the site. In my conversation with Marcia on 2/25/13, she recalled a similar circumstance to what you
provided and I found some hand written notes from 2008 that identified mop bucket dumping as a potential source of
oil. My apologies for the bad information. Marcia may have more details on the incident as I am not seeing much in our
13

files. I did find a summary from HEPACO about the cleanup process after the incident was reported indicating a
significant cleanup effort including removal of contaminated soil from the pond and jet rod cleaning of the stormwater
pipes. Please advise on the course moving forward and thanks again for your help with this.

Hi Hunter,
First, to answer your questions:
If you are denied coverage under a General Permit, then NCS000526 remains in effect until October 31, 2013. it
will expire on Nov.1, 2013, and if Schaefer does not act to renew coverage, they will be without coverage, and
potentially discharging without a permit.
if you are granted coverage under the General Permit, we will automatically rescind NCS000526 concurrent with
granting coverage under NCG05.
What about the timing of the renewal of NCS000526 and then subsequent denial of coverage under
NCG05? Well, let's think about the schedule:
o Effectively it's March 1 now, and the permit expires October 31. That's eight full months.
o I think this discussion on coverage under the General Permit will be settled not later than the end of next
week, if Marcia and you are available to think about it. (i may have jury duty tomorrow, and there is at
least a possibility it will be longer than one day, so my further contributions to the question may be next
week.)
o The available time is certainly enough for us to process an application under NCG05, if that's what we
decide.
o The available time is certainly enough for us to renew your coverage under NC5000526, provided you
make application in accordance with my assumed timing of the resolution of this question (nit next week,
I forecast.)
Further discussion: OK, now that I know which site we're talking about I went back and reviewed the files for
Schaefer.
Please help me to understand the site circumstances a little more accurately, as I am unclear on your report of
the source. I note your report last month, in your Jan 18, 2013 email to me below, that the oil discharge was
from an employee "changing his oil in the parking lot against company policy", meaning that this may have been
a one-time occurrence by a misbehaving employee? Our files record the opinion of the MCWQP inspectors that
the amount of material present suggested that the discharge probably was much more substantial than that,
and that it had been continuing for some considerable time. Our files also record that petroleum product
14

staining was observed three feet up on the trunks of trees. Further we have a record that the maintenance
supervisor reported that employees on the third shift were routinely dumping petroleum -laden wash waters
into a drainage grate at a rear door. Photos taken in December 2007 give the impression of an extensive spread
of petroleum product, much more than would be anticipated from an oil change of 4 — 8 quarts per
vehicle. What am 1 missing here?
Marcia, can you add to this discussion? I'm confused.

Ken,
Thanks for your help with my earlier questions. I have talked with Mooresville staff and I have their (Marcia Allocco)
approval to apply for a General Permit. Marcia was in charge of the original push for an Individual Permit.
In reading your previous response, I can apply for a General Permit but I am not guaranteed to receive it. If I am denied
a General Permit, would the existing Individual Permit still expire on October 31, 2013? Do I need to also apply for a
renewal of the individual Permit in case the General Permit request is denied? In case you need specifics, the site is

Hi Hunter,
First a caveat: It sounds like there may be special circumstances surrounding this permittee. Without knowing all those
circumstances I can still give you some general guidance, with the understanding that specific guidance on the specific
circumstances should be sought from the Regional Office staff involved in the initial requirement to apply for an
individual permit.
OK, general guidance, not site specific (since I don't know what_ site we are talking about):
• Unless DWQ's initial direction specified a five-year period of coverage under the individual permit, the facility
can apply for a General Permit at any time. I mean, unless DWQ has provided prior contrary instructions, the
facility doesn't have to wait until the current permit expires to apply for coverage under a General Permit.
• It is not certain that DWQ will issue coverage under a General Permit when you apply for it. Presumably the
individual permit contained monitoring obligations. DWQ may ask the permittee to submit in summary form
the monitoring data accumulated over the last 4+ years, and we would evaluate it for whether it suggests that
coverage under a General Permit will be protective of the receiving water.
• in these special circumstances, the requested conversion from an individual permit over to a General Permit will
be reviewed both by the DWQ Stormwater Permitting Unit, and the DWQ Regional Office Surface Water
Protection staff.
• Our General Permits are shown on our website. The applicable General Permit will depend on which one of our
20+ permits covers the industrial sector for this permittee. We hope that our application materials are self
explanatory, but please contact me again if upon review they are not clear.
• http:1112ortal.ncdenr.org/web/wc/ws/su/npdessw
• I think your next step is to contact the Regional Office staff that are familiar with the site circumstances, and
make them aware of the permittee's intent to seek coverage under a General Permit.

Ken

Dear Sir or Madame,
Schaefer Systems International Inc. (SSI) is herein requesting that NCDENR formally rescind
Individual Discharge Permit No. NCS000526 and, in lieu of the individual permit, provide
coverage under General Permit No. NCG050000 for the facility located at 10124 Westlake
Drive, Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.
In April 2013, SSI submitted an application for permit renewal of Individual Discharge Permit
No. NCS000526. The individual permit has not been reissued, however, SST has continued to
implement effective stormwater management practices and perform the appropriate monitoring
requirements under the terms of Permit No. NCS000526.
During 2013 -- 2014 and on behalf of SSI, Amec Foster Wheeler corresponded with Mr. Ken
Pickle of the NCDENR DEMLR Stoflffwater Permitting Program. - Mf. Pic -kit indicate- that
NCDENR was receptive to an application for coverage under the general permit in lieu of
renewing Permit No. NCS000526. Following these correspondence, SSI elected to pursue
coverage under General Permit No. NCG050000. In March 2015, SSI submitted the Notice of
Intent for coverage under the general permit.
In summary, SSI previously applied to renew Individual Discharge Permit No. NCS000526 but
is herein requesting that the individual permit be rescinded. SSI has subsequently applied for
and respectfully requests coverage under General Permit No. NCG050000 in lieu of the
individual permit.

We appreciate your prompt consideration of this matter. If you have any questions or concerns

Dear Mr. Marlow:
Arnec Foster Wheeler Environment & Infrastructure, Inc. (Amec Foster Wheeler) is pleased to
provide this Letter Report of Stormwater Discharge Sampling, with attached Discharge
Monitoring Report, for the Schaefer Systems International, Inc_ (SSI) facility located in Charlotte,
North Carolina.
Proiect Information
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit benchmark values for
Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), and Total Suspended
Solids (TSS) were exceeded during two consecutive stormwater sampling events in early 2010
(April 8, 2010, and May 11, 2010). In accordance with NPDES Permit NCS 000526, a Tier Two
response was required as a result of the exceedances. Subsequently, data obtained from three
consecutive events were below permit limits and SSI returned to semi-annual sampling and
analysis.

Report of Stormwater Monitoring
Schaefer Systems international — Charlotte, North Carolina
Amec Foster Wheeler Project_ 6228-13-0091
March 9, 2015
Quantitative Monitorin
Amec Foster Wheeler mobilized to the site on February 9, 2015, to collect a stormwater sample
during a representative storm event that measured 0.71 inches of precipitation. In accordance
with the permit, the stormwater sample (Outfall 001) was collected within the first 30 minutes of
discharge from the detention pond and was submitted to Pace Analytical Services, Inc. (Pace)
for analysis of Oil and Grease by EPA Method 1664A, TSS by SM 2540D, COD by SM 5220D,
and BOD, 5 day, by SM 5210B. Pace is a North Carolina -certified analytical laboratory.
A summary of analytical results for the February 9, 2015, sampling event is presented in Table 1
below. Results from previous stormwater samples collected for permit compliance are
summarized in the Stormwater Discharge Outfall Monitoring Report DMR, which is attached.
Results of sampling were recorded on the attached (DMR) form. A copy of the DMR needs to
be signed by the permittee and sent to the North Carolina Department of Environment and
Natural Resources (NCDENR).

Schaefer Systems International — Charlotte, North Carolina
Amec Foster Wheeler Project., 6228-13-0091
Qualitative Monitoring
During the site visit, Amec Foster Wheeler also performed qualitative monitoring. The qualitative
monitoring was documented an the NCDENR Stormwater Discharge Outfall Qualitative
Monitoring Report form which is attached. Copies of the DMR and Stormwater Discharge
Outfall Qualitative Monitoring Report need to be maintained in the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan for three years.
A subsequent inspection was conducted by a representative of the Mecklenburg County Storm
Water Services Division and accompanied by Schaefer Systems and Amec Foster Wheeler
personnel on February 20, 2015. The facility was deemed compliant in the resulting inspection
report (dated March 2, 2015) and issued by the NCDENR Mooresville Regional Land Quality
Section.
Discussion
The results from the February 2015 sampling event were below permit benchmark values.
These sample results represent the third consecutive results below permit values since
discussions with Ken Pickle of NCDENR. Amec Foster Wheeler will attempt to have the
individual permit revoked and a general permit issued.
Recommendation
Amec Foster Wheeler recommends that SSI continue to conduct stormwater management
inspections of the facility, reviewing storage practices and practicing good housekeeping,
If you have questions regarding the stormwater monitoring or would like to discuss items
relating to stormwater management for the subject property, please contact Mr. Greg Mackin at
704-357-5624.

Qualitative monitoring requirements vary. Most permits require qualitative monitoring to be
performed during a "representative starnl event" or during a "rneasureable storm event." However,
some permits do not have this requirement. Please refer to these definitions, if applicable.
A "representative storm event" is a storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall
and that is preceded by at least 72 hours (3 days) in which no storm event measuring greater than
0.1 inches has occurred. A single storm event may contain up to 10 consecutive hours of no
precipitation.
A "measurable storm event" is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the
permitted site outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours
prior. The 72-hour storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a shorter
internal is representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and the permittee
obtains approval from the local DWQ Regional Office.

RE: NCDENR Individual Permits - Schaefer NCS000526
Thanks, Hunter.
This is all good.
As per our previous discussions, we are going to interpret this data set as indicating that the site fits our concept of a key
attribute of a General Permit site: namely that we expect such sites to present little to no threat to water quality from
stormwater discharges. I don't know whether it was the work done to re -vegetate bare yard areas, or whether it was
the expansion and re -work of the detention pond, or whether Schaefer has improved on -site housekeeping, or whether
some other factor is responsible for the improvement.
I looked closely at the last two samples and noted that they were slightly off schedule, but we have already discussed
that, and I have no problem with it since I don't think the (slightly) missed sampling periods are relevant to
characterizing the site as a low -risk site, suitable for coverage under a General Permit.
Please advise Schaefer that we will be receptive to an application for coverage under NCG05 in lieu of renewing
NCS000526. Instructions and forms for applying for coverage can be found on our website. The fee is $100. We are not
able to apply any fees assessed under NCS000526 to the new NCG05 application.
Please contact me if I can help further.

I have updated the table to include previous sampling events and bolded the results above permit limits. We have not
had an exceedance since the April 2012 sample and have had 5 consecutive samples within permit limits. Please let me

Subject: RE: NCDENR Individual Permits - Schaefer NCS000526
Hi Hunter,
I hope I haven't forgotten the nuances on this request since I first began to participate in the discussions on this topic in
January 2013. Here's how I remember it now, and what my review today of the email correspondence indicates to
me. Please let me know if I have overlooked any part relevant to our previous discussions on whether we would issue
coverage under NCG05 to Schaefer. My historical summary:
• The past problem of unauthorized discharge of wastewaters through the stormwater system has been
resolved. Schaefer no longer dumps oily wash waters into the drainage grate. No further issues remain on this
aspect, as far as I remember.
• That issue gave rise to the need for an individual permit (NCS000526) for this site as directed by the Mooresville
Regional Office, rather than a General Permit.
• Schaefer submitted a renewal application for NCS000526 in April, 2013, but we still have not assigned a reviewer
for it. Our progress against our backlog of individual permit renewals has been improving, but still many permits
remain unaddressed: it's not just Schaefer.
• The key remaining issue as I recall it now is that coverage under NCG05 does not include monitoring for COD or
TSS, for which Schaefer has had past benchmark exceedances. The sampling record that you provided in
your January 2013 Stormwater Monitoring Report (tabulating data from 2009 through 2012) suggests an

improving trend in monitoring results.
event, now almost two years old.
Please`uodate the monitorine �ecord.t
That monitoring record ends with the December 20, 2012 sampling
p6&6usIV provided. It would help me if you would include the all previously tabulated data, and just extend the
current tabulation format to include all data on all parameters gathered since 2009. l like the presentation of it,
it makes it easy to grasp the time frame and results.
• As I indicated in previous emails, we are amenable to coverage under NCGOS, if the sampling record supports
that change. I mean, what is foremost in my mind is that NCGOS does not test for TSS and COD. Schaefer will
need to show that the trend in the data has continued, and that TSS and COD performance are no longer an
issue, and that no new issues with other parameters have arisen. On that basis we can switch to NCG05.
• Please note that while we still have Schaefer in the queue for processing of NCS000526, I can't give you a reliable
estimate of when we con get to it. On the other hand, our current turn --around time for coverage under the
General Permits, including NCG05, is a matter of just a veryfew weeks.
• If we move forward with NCGOS we will rescind coverage under NCS000526 concurrently with issuance of
coverage under NCG05.
Hunter, please contact me if we need to discuss further. Looking forward to reviewing the updated tabulated data.

OK, got it. Thanks.
So then also the 5/15/2014 sampling event similarly would be attributable to the period Nov 2013-April 2014,
right? And so would again be a little bit late. But, we don't have any heartache on either of those points.
I'll try to look at this next week (out of the office tomorrow), and advise on NCG05.

Actually, it benefits the progress on our backlog if we can legitimately switch a backlogged and labor intensive individual
permit renewal to a more quickly and easily executed General Permit issuance,
Thanks Hunter.

Ken,
The sampling term was Nov 2012 — April 2013 and May 2013 — October 2013. One sample was taken in Dec 2012 and
for the next term, we missed the window and sampled late in Dec. 2013. The lack of sampling was due to the timing of
the rains and availability of staff to take the sample. Please let me know if you need any more information,

Hunter,
Probably ........ but I have only just now scanned the email string you sent earlier this month. I'll need to get back into our
previous conversations, and be sure I remember/understand everything we were concerned about back in April 2013

before I can say we will entertain an application under NCG05. Again, i think we would be receptive, and it appears from
the emails that that is what we had in mind, but give me just a few more days to catch up on it first.
I note that per the tabulated data you sent, the permittee only took a single sample in 2013, and so it appears he was
not taking the number of samples required by the permit. Why not?

Thanks Ken for the response. Since the individual permit has not been reviewed, and since Schaefer has met the
conditions stipulated for application of coverage under the general permit, can Schaefer apply for coverage under the
general permit now and rescind coverage under NCS000526?

Hi Hunter, nice to hear from you again,
• I'm just returning from two weeks' vacation this week, and I did not see your June 2, 2014 email until this
week. Sorry for the delayed response.

It appears that our last prior communications were in April 2013. We were engaged together in considering the
possibility and the timing of covering Schaefer under our General Permit NCG05 instead of the current individual
permit, NCS000526. As indicated by the email string and as I think I retail now, at that time it seemed to us that
Schaefer should instead apply for renewal of NCS000526, and should postpone their request for coverage under
our General Permit NCG05, partially because of the timing of the pending permit expiration, and partially in
response to our need for more sampling data in support of any request to switch coverage over to NCG05.
I note that Schaefer indeed applied for renewal of NCS000526 in the fourth week of April 2013. However, our
permits database shows that a permit reviewer has not yet been assigned: At the moment the DEMLR
Stormwater Permitting Program (SPP) has a substantial backlog of past due permit renewals (like Schaefer) and
aging new permit applications. We are holding the Schaefer renewal application until SPP staff become
available to work on it. As of two months ago, we are in the middle of an expedited push on our aging permits
backlog, but we haven't gotten to Schaefer, yet.
o Federal NPDES rules provide that when a permittee submits a timely renewal application for an existing
permit, the expired permit remains in effect until the agency can act on the renewal application. This
means that while the face of NCS000526 has an expiration date of October 31, 2013, the permit still
remains in effect today. This federal rule provision works to protect Schaefer from discharging without
a permit due to our delay. They are not at risk because of the expired permit. That is, Schaefer is still
authorized to discharge stormwater, in accordance with the provision of NC5000526.
So just to further clarify Schaefer's permitting status and our (argon: 1 note your email from June 2 inquiring
about, "the possibility of returning to an individual permit." I need to clarify that Schaefer doesn't need to
"return" to an individual permit. The individual permit they already have is currently in effect. Today they
should be abiding by all the provisions of NCS000526.
• When a permit reviewer is assigned to Schaefer (probably me, but not necessarily), he will contact Schaefer to
let them know to expect action on the pending renewal application, and whether any additional information is
required to process the renewal. Until then, I can't provide a reliable estimate of when we will be finished with
the renewal of NCS000526.
Hunter, please contact me again if we need to discuss further,

Ken,
Thanks for all of your help with our permit. The client has decided to go ahead and apply for the individual permit and
sample according to the required schedule. Once we get two more consecutive clean samples, we will apply for a
general permit. OK, no problem. We will be glad to sti!! consider the five_ consecutive sample events as a basis for
transferring Schaefer's coverage from the individual permit to the General Permit.
I believe they were concerned about not getting 2 samples completed before we had to apply for the individual
permit. OK, understandable.
I have a question about the individual permit renewal application. I have looked at what was originally submitted, EPA
Form 1 General and 2F NPDES. Do we need to submit these same forms for renewal? No, we use the 1 and 2F only for
the initial application. Renewals are via a much simpler shorter dorm. Wepically mqil these out to folks well in
advance of the permit expiration date. Let me check andget back to you on whether we have „a record of having
already done this with Schaefer. JVnot I'll prompt us to do it now; or lguuess, even if have already done it, I'll send
you a duplicate since Marently they don't have it now right?
The permit states that we must submit forms and fees required for renewal but doesn't state which forms. If we are
required to submit form 2F, 1 noticed on the Form 2F that the form requires BOD, COD, T55, pH and Oil and Grease
samples. These are all part of our IP required samples. Form 2F also asks for a Total Nitrogen and Total
Phosphorus. Are these also required since they are not part of our IP? No. New, additional testing is not required for the
renewal process. Forms 1 and 2F do not pertain in a renewal situation.

Hi Hunter,
Thanks for the information forwarded over the last week.
I have discussed the site circumstances with Marcia Allocco in Mooresville, and have reviewed the MACTEC reports that
you have sent me. I've also reviewed past correspondence contained in our file here in the Stormwater Permitting Unit.
As of today, DWQ is not yet ready to entertain Schaefer's application for coverage under the stormwater General Permit
NCGO5, in lieu of coverage under the current individual stormwater permit, NC5000526.
However, we note the following favorable circumstances in support of your inquiry as to when Schaefer might obtain
coverage under a General Permit:
o The accumulated data over four years establishes that the original problem of oil and grease discharges has
been effectively addressed by Schaefer. As I understand it, dumping of petroleum -laden wastewater has been
stopped as a routine operating practice; a remedial clean-up action on the area with accumulated residuals has
been accomplished; and renovations to the dry detention basin were accomplished in December 2010.
o Three consecutive monthly sampling events were accomplished over the second half of 2012, which in
accordance with the terms of the permit, allows the permittee to return to semi-annual monitoring for the last
remaining monitoring period in this term of NCS000526 ( May 1, 2013 — October 31, 2013-)
o Absent an identified polluted stormwater discharge, this subcategory of industry would be eligible for coverage
under our General Permit NCG05, based on the generally expected low potential for stormwater pollution at
such industries. Note that our General Permit for this subcategory of industry, NCG05, contains no analytical
monitoring requirements based on the main process activity. It is our general judgment that this should be a
low -risk industry sub -sector.
In consideration of these aspects, DWQ will consider an application for coverage under General Permit NCGOS, provided
that Schaefer can produce two more consecutive monitoring events (for a total of five consecutive over two years) in
2013 with all parameters within the benchmarks contained in the current permit. Given that the current permit will
expire on October 31, 2013, this indicates to me that you cannot wait to take samples on a semi-annual schedule, but
must instead adopt a schedule somewhat similar to the monthly schedule that you have been on over the last three
years. We can also agree to forgive any late submittal of the renewal application for NCS000526, up to a point. If the
extra sampling does not work out for Schaefer, we will consider as timely Schaefer's renewal application for NCS000526
if we receive it as late as July 1, 2011
Please contact me or Marcia with any questions or comments.
Best regards,
Ken

Ken,
During the January 2011 sample, a background sample was also collected to determine if the elevated COD levels were
already present in the stormwater before contact with the site. The background sample was stormwater collected in a
stainless steel bowl decontaminated with isopropyl alcohol followed by distilled water. The results indicated the COD
levels were present in the background sample (195 mg/L) at similar levels to the outfall sample (184 mg/L). We had
been attempting to obtain a background sample previously however, the difficulty in obtaining a background sample
was that there was not sufficient water to sample. Please refer to the discussion and recommendations section of the
January 2011 report.
After the April 2012 exceedance, the recommendation was still to try to obtain a background sample at the time of the
outfall sample. However, it had been difficult to obtain sufficient water to sample. Many of the events sampled were
light rainfall events and background COD samples were not collected. in addition to the recommendation of a
background COD sample, AMEC recommended to continue stormwater management inspections of the facility, review
storage practices and continue good housekeeping practices. We still attempted to collect background samples during
events.
During the August 29, 2012 sample, a background sample was taken. Both the background and outfall 001 sample were
<25 mg/L.
I have attached the Stormwater Monitoring Reports from the two exceedances. Please let me know if there is anything
else I can provide.

Hi Hunter,
So, has the permittee conducted his Tier 1 response actions on these two exceedances?
I mean, has he conducted a walk -around to identify the possible source of the COD, has he recorded that action in his
SPPP, did he consider the feasibility of several response options, and if any were judged feasible did he select one and
implement it? In short, has he made the required Tier 1 responses to those two COD exceedances?
It sometimes happens that the facility can conduct the Tier 1, and still be left with a mystery. We understand that. Fill
mein on what response the permittee made to these exceedances when they occurred, please.

Hi Hunter,
OK, good, thanks for confirming that we are all understanding site history the same way. Sorry to slow down our
progress.
Give me just a couple of days to talk with Marcia about the site. I'm interested in more details and MRO's
recommendation on the question of individual vs. General Permit. At the moment, I see the relevant aspects like this:
FOR GENERAL PERMIT COVERAGE: The original problem, the O&G, has essentially gone away, that's good.
AGAINST: Three out of eight reporting results show COD exceedances over the 120 mg/L benchmark: 245 mg/L, 373
mg/L, and the last one of 147 mg/L in April 2012. The last three sample events in 2012 show COD less than the
benchmark for COD. What if the future progresses like the past, I mean what if three out of every eight discharges are
high in COD? How will the site manager ever know that he has a problem if he is not sampling for it under NCG05? On
what Basis would he ever act to correct that pollutant discharge?
So, give us just a few days to chew on this.

I was incorrect in my identification of the source of the oil contamination. I was not working with on this project at the
time of the incident and I was only going off memory and hearsay from 2009 when I began to perform Stormwater
inspections at the site. In my conversation with Marcia on 2/25/13, she recalled a similar circumstance to what you
provided and I found some hand written notes from 2008 that identified mop bucket dumping as a potential source of
oil. My apologies for the bad information. Marcia may have more details on the incident as I am not seeing much in our
13

files. I did find a summary from HEPACO about the cleanup process after the incident was reported indicating a
significant cleanup effort including removal of contaminated soil from the pond and jet rod cleaning of the stormwater
pipes . Please advise on the course moving forward and thanks again for your help with this.

Hi Hunter,
First, to answer your questions:
• if you are denied coverage under a General Permit, then NC5000526 remains in effect until October 31, 2013. It
will expire on Nov. 1, 2013, and if Schaefer does not act to renew coverage, they will be without coverage, and
potentially discharging without a permit.
• 1f you are granted coverage under the General Permit, we will automatically rescind NCS000526 concurrent with
granting coverage under NCG05.
• What about the timing of the renewal of NC5000526 and then subsequent denial of coverage under
NCG05? Well, let's think about the schedule:
o Effectively it's March 1 now, and the permit expires October 31. That's eight full months.
o 1 think this discussion on coverage under the General Permit will be settled not later than the end of next
week, if Marcia and you are available to think about it (1 may have jury duty tomorrow, and there is at
least a possibility it will be longer than one day, so my further contributions to the question may be next
week.)
o The available time is certainly enough for us to process an application under NCG05, if that's what we
decide.
o The available time is certainly enough for us to renew your coverage under NCS000526, provided you
make application in accordance with my assumed timing of the resolution of this question (nit next week,
l forecast.)
Further discussion: OK, now that I know which site we're talking about I went back and reviewed the files for
Schaefer.
Please help me to understand the site circumstances a little more accurately, as I am unclear on your report of
the source. I note your report last month, in your Jan 18, 2013 email to me below, that the oil discharge was
from an employee "changing his oil in the parking lot against company policy'; meaning that this may have been
a one-time occurrence by a misbehaving employee? Our files record the opinion of the MCWCQP inspectors that
the amount of material present suggested that the discharge probably was much more substantial than that,
and that it had been continuing for some considerable time. Our files also record that petroleum product
14

staining was observed three feet up on the trunks of trees. Further we have a record that the maintenance
supervisor reported that employees on the third shift were routinely dumping petroleum -laden wash waters
into a drainage grate at a rear door. Photos taken in December 2007 give the impression of an extensive spread
of petroleum product, much more than would be anticipated from an oil change of 4 — 8 quarts per
vehicle. What am I missing here?
Marcia, can you add to this discussion? I'm confused.

Hi Hunter,
First a caveat: It sounds like there may be special circumstances surrounding this permittee. Without knowing all those
circumstances I can still give you some general guidance, with the understanding that specific guidance on the specific
circumstances should be sought from the Regional Office staff involved in the initial requirement to apply for an
individual permit.
OK, general guidance, not site specific (since 1 don't know what site we are talking about):
• Unless DWQ`s initial direction specified a five-year period of coverage under the individual permit, the facility
can apply for a General Permit at any time. I mean, unless DWQ has provided prior contrary instructions, the
facility doesn't have to wait until the current permit expires to apply for coverage under a General Permit.
• It is not certain that DWQ will issue coverage under a General Permit when you apply for it. Presumably the
individual permit contained monitoring obligations. DWQ may ask the permittee to submit in summary form
the monitoring data accumulated over the last 4+ years, and we would evaluate it for whether it suggests that
coverage under a General Permit will be protective of the receiving water.
• In these special circumstances, the requested conversion from an individual permit over to a General Permit will
be reviewed both by the DWQ Stormwater Permitting Unit, and the DWQ Regional Office Surface Water
Protection staff.
• Our General Permits are shown on our website. The applicable General Permit will depend on which one of our
20+ permits covers the industrial sector for this permittee. We hope that our application materials are self
explanatory, but please contact me again if upon review they are not clear.
• http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/ws/su/npdessw
• I think your next step is to contact the Regional Office staff that are familiar with the site circumstances, and
make them aware of the permittee's intent to seek coverage under a General Permit.

Dear Mr. Marlow:
Amec Foster Wheeler Environment & Infrastructure, Inc. (Amec Foster Wheeler) is pleased to
provide this Letter Report of Stormwater Discharge Sampling,' with attached Discharge
Monitoring Report, for the Schaefer Systems International, Inc. (SSI) facility located in Charlotte,
North Carolina.
Proiect Information
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit benchmark values for
Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), and Total Suspended
Solids JSS) were exceeded during two consecutive stormwater sampling events in early 2010
(April 8, 2010, and May 11, 2010). In accordance with NPDES Permit NCS 000526, a Tier Two
response was required as a result of the exceedances. Subsequently, data obtained from three
consecutive events were below permit limits and SSI returned to semi-annual sampling and
analysis.

Report of Stormwater Monitoring March 9, 2015
Schaefer Systems International — Charlotte, North Carolina
Amec Foster Wheeler Project: 6228-13-0091
Quantitative Monitoring
Amec Foster Wheeler mobilized to the site on February 9, 2015, to collect a stormwater sample
during a representative storm event that measured 0.71 inches of precipitation. In accordance
with the. permit, the stormwater sample (Outfall 001) was collected within the first 30 minutes of
discharge from the detention pond and was submitted to Pace Analytical Services, Inc. (Pace)
for analysis of Oil and Grease by EPA Method 1664A, TSS by SM 2540D, COD by SM 5220D,
and BOD, 5 day, by SM 52108. Pace is a North Carolina -certified analytical laboratory.
A summary of analytical results for the February 9, 2015, sampling event is presented in Table 1
below. Results from previous stormwater samples collected for permit compliance are
summarized in the Stormwater Discharge Outfall Monitoring Report DMR, which is attached.
Results of sampling were recorded on the attached (DMR) form. A copy of the DMR needs to
be signed by the permittee and sent to the North Carolina Department of Environment and
Natural Resources (NCDENR)-

Report of Stormwater Monitoring March 9, 2015
Schaefer Systems International — Charlotte, North Carolina
Amec Foster Wheeler Project: 6228-13-0091
Qualitative Monitoring
During the site visit, Amec Foster Wheeler also performed qualitative monitoring. The qualitative
monitoring -was documented on the NCDENR Stormwater Discharge Outfall Qualitative
Monitoring Report form which is attached. Copies of the DMR and Stormwater Discharge
Outfall Qualitative Monitoring Report need to be maintained in the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan for three years.
A subsequent inspection was conducted by a representative of the Mecklenburg County Storm
Water Services Division and accompanied by Schaefer Systems and Amec Foster Wheeler
personnel on February 20, 2015. The tacility was deemed compliant in the resulting inspection
report (dated March 2, 2015) and issued by the NCDENR Mooresville Regional Land Quality
Section.
Discussion
The results from the February 2015 sampling event were below permit benchmark values.
These sample results represent the third consecutive results below permit values since
discussions with Ken Pickle of NCDENR. Amec Foster Wheeler will attempt to have the
individual permit revoked and a general permit issued.
Recommendation
Amec Foster Wheeler recommends that SSI continue to conduct stormwater management
inspections of the facility, reviewing storage practices and practicing good housekeeping.
If you have questions regarding the stormwater monitoring or would like to discuss items
relating to stormwater management for the subject property, please contact Mr. Greg Mackin at
704-357-5624.

M Yes ❑ No
Please verify whether Qualitative mknitoring must be performed during a "representative storm
event" or "measureoble storm event"Crequirernents vary, depending on the permit).
Qualitative monitoring requirements vary. Most permits require qualitative monitoring to be
performed during a "representative storm event" or during a "measureable storm event." However,
sorne permits do not have this requirement. Please refer to these definitions, if applicable.
A "representative storm event" is a storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall
and that is preceded by at least 72 hours (3 days) in which no storm event measuring greater than
0.1 inches has occurred. A single storm event may contain up to 10 consecutive hours of no
precipitation.
A "measurable storm event" is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the
permitted site outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours
prior. The 72-hour storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a shorter
interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and the permittee
obtains approval from the local DWQ Regional Office.
