Some of the changes include:
Part I1:
• Section A: The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) section, if applicable, has been updated
to the most current language of our permits. Additional conditions for specific industry sectors have
been added to the SPPP requirements in some cases.
• Sections e, C: Failure to perform analytical stormwater monitoring may result in the Division requiring
that the permittee begin a monthly sampling scheme.
• Sections 8, C: A lower TSS benchmark of 50 mg/i for HQW, ORW, PNA and Tr Waters applies to these
more sensitive waters.
• Sections 8, C. The monitoring parameter Oil & Grease (O&G) has been replaced by the parameter
Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) for vehicle maintenance areas, and in some cases, other
analytical monitoring requirements.
• Sections 8, C, D: Inability to sample due to adverse weather must be recorded in the SPPP, or in
separate on -site records if your General Permit does not require an SPPP. Adverse weather is defined
in the "Definitions" section of the permit.
• Sections 8, C. The term "Representative Storm Event" has been replaced by "Measurable Storm
Event." A measurable storm event is defined in the permit.
• Section D: If the permittee fails to respond effectively to problems identified by qualitative
monitoring, DWQ may require the permittee to perform corrective action.
Please review Parts III and IV to understand the Standard Conditions of your new NPDES General Permit,
including Compliance and Liability, Reporting, Monitoring and Records requirements; Operation and
Maintenance obligations; and Definitions. Please note that all samples analyzed in accordance with the terms
of this permit must be submitted to the Division on Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) forms available on
the Stormwater Permitting Unit's website above. DMR forms must be delivered to the Division no later than
30 days from the date the facility receives the sampling results from the laboratory. Also note that existing
permittees do not need to submit a renewal request prior to expiration unless directed by the Division.
Your coverage under the General Permit is transferable only through the specific action of DWQ. This permit
does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by DENR, nor does it
relieve the permittee from responsibility for compliance with any other applicable federal, state, or local law,
rule, standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or decree. If you have any questions regarding this permit
package, please contact the Division's Stormwater Permitting Unit at [phone].

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/wqlwslsu/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 (NO[) 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 states "No significant spills or leaks of a reportable quantity
have occurred or entered the storm drain system within the past three years." However,
the front of the SPPP has not been updated on an annual basis to reflect that the
statement is current. The permittee needs to ensure the SPPP is reviewed annually
(i.e. through an annual update page or some other mechanism) as required by Part II,
section A of the permit (i.e. spills, non-Stormwater evaluations, etc.). in addition, the
permittee must ensure that the SPPP is signed and approved by the responsible
corporate official.
The inspector found that the following items needed updating in the SPPP: 24-hr site
Emergency Contact numbers, page SWP3 — 1 reference to the renewal date of the
current permit (referenced old general permit), and a reference to the removal of
aboveground storage tanks and tank farms that are no longer on site should be added_
Additional information regarding the SPPP is contained in the Summary section

RE: Notice of Violation (NOV-2009-PC-0180)
DWG-Surfa� Wider Roiiawl;on
Letter of Response to NOV and Compliance Evaluation Inspection
WEPAK Corporation: Stormwater Permit COC NCG060134
Mecklenburg County, NC
Dear Ms. Allocco,
In response to the Notice of Violation (NOV-2009-PC-0180) that we received from your office
dated February 27, 2009 that is based on the CEI report by Charlotte -Mecklenburg Stormwater
Services from an inspection conducted on January 12, 2009, we are providing you with this
official letter of response as you instructed in the NOV letter. WEPAK Corporation wishes to
respectfully state for the record that we have made an earnest effort to comply with all
applicable EPA and OSHA regulations that apply to our facility, and on that basis initially filed an
NOI for a stormwater discharge permit to NCDEHNR in April 1994.
On July 22, 1994, NCDEHNR issued WEPAK Corporation General Permit Number
NCG060000, Certificate of Coverage Number NCG060134 effective until 8-31-1997. Following
receipt of the permit, we retained INENCO, Inc., an environmental consultant, to assist us in our
compliance activities. We then developed and implemented a Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plan (SPPP) and began conducting permit -required activities_ Within the first year of our permit
term, we performed analytical sampling on October 4, 1995 and our semi-annual visual
sampling. Since that time, we have made a good faith effort to comply with our stormwater
discharge permit, which has been renewed every five-year permit term. We have conducted
analytical monitoring during the first and last year of the permit terms as required and starting in
2008 on a semi-annual basis as required in our most recent permit. We have updated our
SPPP on a regular basis and have performed inspections as required. We do admit that we
may not have maintained the best documentation of some of the specific requirements of our
permit; however, we do attest that we have performed these activities and made an honest
effort to comply with our permit over the past fourteen and one-half years. To that end, we wish
you to know that we have in no way tried to avoid compliance or ignore our responsibilities, but
do admit that we now realize we need to better document our compliance activities going
forward. This being said we wish to address the specific points of non-compliance 1 violations
Pagel of 4

as outlined in the compliance inspection report attached to the NOV letter.
1. The first item we wish to address is the notation of the 2003 MCDEP inspection that
noted no records are available. We find this interesting because at the time of that 2003
inspection, no violations were noted and we were informed that we were in compliance.
2. 'Item two is the recommendation that all drums be stored on spill pallets. At the current
time we do not store "all" drums on spill pallets; however, we make a concerted effort to
store drums in a manner that reduces any chance of spills or leaks. Additionally, all
operators and employees are trained and instructed on the importance of proper drum
handling and spill and leak prevention. Going forward we will consider the feasibility of
increasing the number of spill pallets and continue our efforts to ensure there are no
leaks or spills from drums. We also wish to state that we have not had any significant or
reportable spills or leaks at our facility since 1992; which thus leads to Item 3.
3. Item three is regarding the SPPP not including a list of significant spills occurring during
the past three, years. WEPAK Corporation has not had any significant or reportable
spills since 1992 as stated above. Because we have not included an updated list of
annual reviews in our documentation, this was noted as a violation. We will make sure
that our SPPP includes updated documentation of an annual plan review and updated
statement of review of significant spills in the past three years, which again none has
occurred.
4. The next item is the lack of documentation of Employee Training for stormwater pollution
prevention awareness and review and knowledge of our SPPP as required in our permit.
WEPAK Corporation has not done the best job of documenting every detail of our
stormwater permit compliance activities; however, we do wish to state that we have
provided this training and our employees are aware of the importance of stormwater
pollution prevention. Going forward we will be sure that all future employee training is
properly documented.
5. The next item is the lack of documentation of an annual review and as necessary update
to our Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). Again as previously stated, we
have not done the best job with our documentation of compliance activities; although we
must stress again that this does not mean we have not conducted these activities, as we
have. Going forward we will be sure and properly document all review and update
activities to our SPPP.
6. Item six is again based on our lack of proper documentation of activities that we have
performed over the years to comply with our permit. We do have in place a facility
inspection program that does include a review of all storm drainage conveyances,
outfalls, leaks, spills, or non-stormwater discharges. However, these items are not noted
in inspections unless there is a problem and consequently, we have no significant
documentation of these things. We perform daily, weekly, and monthly visual facility
walk through inspections but have not documented anything significant with respect to
stormwater.
Going forward we are in the process of updating our facility inspection program to
include forms and items specific to stormwater as required in our permit and SPPP and
properly document stormwater inspections on a regular basis and semi-annually as
required. All inspections and logs will be properly documented.
Page 2 of 4

ti
7. The next item is regarding the update of our Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SPPP). WEPAK Corporation has made an effort to update our SPPP as needed and
has done this over the years with each new permit cycle. We admit that the current
documentation of our SPPP needs several items updated and we are currently in the
process of developing an updated SPPP. Some specific items such as annual review,
spills, inspections and other documentation have already been discussed in items
above. Other items specifically mentioned in the CEI report were the annual review,
signature and approval of the responsible corporate official, updated emergency contact
information, renewal date of current permit, and list of review and update dates. One
other item mentioned with regard to•the SPPP was a reference to the removal of ASTs
that are no longer on -site. Since these ASTs were taken out of commission in 1992 and
one removed from the site in 1994 and the second tank removed in 1998, we are not
sure the relevance of this item being mentioned since these two tanks are not
specifically mentioned in the current SPPP. Again, we are in the process of updating our
SPPP and will be sure that the plan accurately reflects the facility's current storage and
configuration.
8. The next item is the last ,item noted in the CEI report, but because it relates to the SPPP
we will discuss it at this point. This item states that the facility failed to evaluate illicit
(non-stormwater) discharges. This is not true. WEPAK Corporation has made this
evaluation during every permit cycle and performs regular facility inspections that include
visual inspection of outfalls. Any non-stormwater discharge would be immediately noted
and reported to management to be investigated immediately. Going forward we will
make sure this is properly documented on a regular basis with a signed certification
statement included in the SPPP as required.
9. The next item is the allegation that the facility has not conducted semi-annual visual
(Qualitative) monitoring. WEPAK Corporation has to respectfully disagree with this
assessment as we have been performing our semi-annual qualitative monitoring. The
past two qualitative monitoring events were performed in 2008 along with the analytical
(Quantitative) monitoring as required by our current permit. It was previously performed
in 2007 in similar fashion. Past qualitative monitoring events were also performed with
our analytical monitoring and additionally during regular inspections of our stormwater
discharge during storm events. Some of -our past qualitative monitoring may not have
been as adequately documented as required but they have been performed on a regular
basis. Going forward all future Qualitative (Visual) monitoring will be properly
documented every time it is performed and on at least a semi-annual basis as required.
10. The final item noted in the NOV and CEI report was that the facility has not conducted its
Analytical Monitoring. WEPAK Corporation respectfully disagrees with this statement.
We have conducted our analytical (quantitative) monitoring the first and last year of
every permit cycle beginning in 1995 during the first term year of receiving our
stormwater discharge permit. Our analytical sampling time line since then is as follows.
With the use of our consultant (INENCO, Inc_) to maintain third party objectivity, we
sampled on 9/16/1996, 10/19/1997, 7113/2002, 416/2003, 613012007, 1/1012008, and
10/812008. We therefore can state that we have been performing our analytical
monitoring.
The comment in the CEI report states that we exceeded our cut-off concentration for pH
during the April 2003 sampling and should have conducted additional pH sampling on an
annual basis in the following years. We reviewed our records and noted this comment
Page 3 of 4

was correct and that we did fail to conduct follow-up pH sampling in 2004 and annually
until we were below cut-off concentrations. We would however like to point out that all
sampling results since that time have been below cut-off concentrations and benchmark
limits. Additionally, we would like to note that INENCO, Inc., who has assisted us in
sampling, has North Carolina Laboratory Field Certification for pH.
In conclusion, WEPAK Corporation wishes to respectfully and formally apologize to NCDENR
for any shortcomings and failures in our documentation of our compliance efforts with our
Stormwater Discharge Permit originally issued on July 22, 1994. WEPAK Corporation has
made a good faith effort to comply with all applicable environmental and safety regulations and
feels that we have shown that by being an early participant in the NPDES Stormwater
Discharge Permit program long before most other industries in our area. We now realize the
importance of proper documentation to verify and prove our compliance efforts with the
requirements of our stormwater permit and tenants of our SPPP.
Going forward WEPAK Corporation will properly "document" all activities conducted to comply
with the requirements of our stormwater discharge permit. Additionally, we are currently in the
process of updating our Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). We will be sure and
update our SPPP, all necessary documentation, and correct all deficiencies noted in the NOV
and CEI report and comply as required in our current stormwater discharge permit.
Thank you for your time and favorable response to this correspondence. If you have any
questions or require additional information or response to the referenced Notice of Violation
(NOV-2009-PC-0180), please contact me at your convenience.
Sincere)
