Hitachi Metals North Carolina
COC Number NCG070057
Rowan County
Dear Permittee:
In response to your renewal application for continued coverage under stormwater General Permit NCG070000 the Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) is forwarding herewith the reissued stormwater General Permit. This permit is reissued pursuant to the
requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between the state of North
Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, dated October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended.)
The following information is included with your permit package:
• A new Certificate of Coverage
• A copy of stormwater General Permit NCG070000
• A copy of a Technical Bulletin for the General Permit
• Five copies of the Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Form
• Five copies of the Qualitative Monitoring Report Form
The General Permit authorizes discharges of stormwater only, and it specifies your obligations with respect to stormwater
discharge controls, management, monitoring, and record keeping. Please review the new permit to familiarize yourself with all
the changes in the reissued permit.
The more significant changes in the General Permit since the your lasCCertificate of Coverage include the following:
• Permit cover page — Coverage is expanded to include industrial activities similar to the categorically identified industries.
• Part I Section A — This part explains that the No Exposure Exclusion from permitting option may be available to the
permittee.
• Part II Section A — Several minor expansions and clarifications of the required content of the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan have been added. Please be sure that your plan is updated to comply with the new requirements.
• Part II Section B — Qualitative monitoring must now be conducted during a representative storm event.
• Part II Section B — The permittee is required to keep a written record of his response to problems identified by his
qualitative monitoring observations_
• Part II Section C - For facilities with vehicle maintenance activities using more than 55 gallons of new motor oil per month,
new provisions require that discharges from the vehicle maintenance areas be sampled twice per year, and that the
sampling results be compared to new numerical benchmark values. (The previous cutoff concentrations have been
eliminated.)
• Part II Section C — For facilities with vehicle maintenance activities using more than 55 gallons of new motor oil per month,
new provisions require the permittee to execute Tier One and Tier Two response actions, based on the first benchmark
exceedence (Tier One) and the second consecutive benchmark exceedence (Tier Two). Tier Two requires that the
permittee institute monthly monitoring instead of twice -per -year monitoring, until three consecutive monitoring events
show no benchmark exceedences-
• Part II Section C — This part contains a new provision that four exceedences of any particular benchmark will trigger
increased DWQ involvement in the permittee's stormwater management and control actions. DWQ may direct the
permittee to apply for an individual permit, or may direct the implementation or installation of specific stormwater control
measures.

Dear Permittee:
Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under General Permit NCG070000. This permit expires
on March 31, 2003. The Division staff is currently in the process of rewriting this permit and is scheduled to have
the permit reissued by early spring of 2003. Once the permit is reissued, your facility would be eligible for
continued coverage under the reissued permit.
In order to assure your continued coverage under the general permit, you must apply to the Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) for renewal of your permit coverage. To make this renewal process easier, we are informing you in
advance that your permit coverage will be expiring. Enclosed you will find a Permit Coverage Renewal
Application Form: The application must be completed and returned by October 2, 2002 in order to assure
continued coverage under the general permit. Due to staff and budget constraints, letters confirming our receipt of
the completed application will not be sent.
Failure to request renewal within the time period specified, may result. in a civil assessment of at least $250.00.
Larger penalties may be assessed depending on the delinquency of the request. Discharge of stormwater from your
facility without coverage under a valid stormwater NPDES permit would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1
and could result in assessments of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day.
Please note that recent federal legislation has extended the "no exposure exclusion" to all operators of industrial
facilities in any of the 11 categories of "storm water discharges associated with industrial activity," (except
construction activities). if you feel your facility can certify a condition of "no exposure", i.e. the facility industrial
materials and operations are not exposed to stormwater, you can apply for the no exposure exclusion. For additional
information contact the Central Office Stormwater Staff member listed below or check the Stormwater & General
Permits Unit Web Site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.ustsu/stormwater.html
If the subject stormwater discharge to waters of the state has been terminated, please complete the enclosed
Rescission Request Form. Mailing instructions are listed on the bottom of the form. You will be notified when the
rescission process has been completed.
If you have any questions regarding the permit renewal procedures please contact Mike Parker of the Mooresville
