evaluation at least once per year as required by the facility's_NPDES stormwater permit.
Training is provided annually. The most recent_ training was documented on 9/2312016._
The facility generates an annual report summarizing all stormwater ins ections and any
chan-ges/improvements to the stormwater system in the Previous year. However, the SWPPP
document at the facility had not been updated for several years. A current version of the SWPPP
should be maintained on -site and reviewed/updated annually,
Walkarounds of the facility are conducted weekly. The facility submits guarterly and annual
inspection reports to Howell's Motor Freight corporate office. The most recent report was
completed on 9/23/2016 .

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
o Collection, reporting, and recording of Qualitative Monitoring

We are in receipt of the letter dated April 3, 2012 regarding Ms. Sorensen's inspection of our
Charlotte facility. In response to the noted observations, please see below:
1) Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan- I am in Charlotte at least quarterly and whenever
I am there I do a walk around and evaluation of the facility, and review the plan for
possible updates. Admittedly however, I have done a poor job of annual documentation of
spills (or lack thereof), employee training, and plan review. That will be corrected.
2) Analytical Monitoring — We will ensure the Tier I and Tier II responses are handled
correctly going forward.
3) Permits and Outfalls — This will be corrected going forward.
4) City of Charlotte Stormwater Ordinance Review — The dumpster located next to the
shop will be outfitted with a lid (plug is already in place).
We wish to thank Ms. Sorensen for her assistance in pointing out issues during her inspection.
Should you have any questions, please contact me.

Inspection Summary:
Facility Description:
Involved in motor freight service - loading and unloading of tractor trailer trucks typically filled with non -hazardous
wrapped food goods. Tractor and trailer maintenance, washing, diesel fueling, and trailer storage operations occur
onsite. There are approximately 225 trucks in the entire fleet. Approximately 70 trucks are serviced at this facility on a

around the entire perimeter. HAZ-MAT Transportation and Disposal collects and disposes of used oil, antifreeze, and
parts cleaner.
Compliance History:
The permitteelfacility does not have any prior compliance issues with either the NC Division of Water Quality or
Charlotte -Mecklenburg Storm Water Services,
Industrial Operations/City of Charlotte Stormwater Ordinance Review
Truck Washing — Buddy's Cleaning and Contracting, Inc. out of Lorona, WV conducts weekend tractor and trailer washing
at the facility every other weekend. This activity occurs outside on gravel surface, exposed to storm water. The
wastewater produced from this activity has historically not been contained and properly disposed. Facility staff noted they
are currently obtaining permission from Charlotte Mecklenburg Utilities to discharge the wastewater back into the sanitary
sewer system through their on site oil/water separator.
The facility should immediately cease all illegal discharges of wastewater to the ground. The facility should explore
measures to properly contain, collect and discharge wastewater into an approved sanitary sewer collection system upon
approval of the system owner.
Loading/ Unloading Area — Staff load and unload trailers contents to and from the warehouse in this area. This area
appeared to be in good condition.
Trash Dumpster — The small general trash dumpster is located outside and is exposed to storm water. The dumpster was
without a plug and cover during the inspection. The facility should obtain a covered and plugged trash dumpster with no
rusted openings. '
Warehouse — An emergency eyewash station is located inside the warehouse with the discharge pipe plumbed to the
earthen ground outside the warehouse. The facility should properly plumb the eyewash discharge pipe.
Old Shop — This shop was historically used as a maintenance shop. Currently this shop is used as dry storage space for
equipment and other materials. One 250-gallon new motor oil tank is located inside the Old Shop and is not exposed to
storm water. The tank is located inside a steel containment structure. Minor areas of standing oil were present inside the
containment structure and on the concrete surface outside the containment structure. A spill kit is located inside the Old
Shop.
The facility should promptly remove all spills and evaluate the tank and containment structure for leaks.

Permit: NCGO80283 Owner - Facility: Howell's Motor Freight Inc
Inspection Date: 02/19/2008 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Stormwater BMP — The entire facility drains by sheet flow across a gravel lot to one stormwater BMP located on site. The
BMP is built to function as a detention area for stormwater. The BMP has one outfall located on site. Sedimentation and
erosion are evident inside the BMP. The storm water has short circuited the BMP and flows directly from the inlet of the
BMP to the outlet pipe with no opportunity for disperse flow through the BMP. The outlet structure was clear of sediment.
The outfall of the BMP was inaccessible due to the overgrowth of thorny plants.
The facility should maintain access to the outlet structure. The facility should also conduct proper maintenance of the
BMP.
Shop Detention Area — Tractors and trailers are staged in this area while waiting for maintenance service. This area is
outside on a gravel lot, exposed to storm water. This area appeared to be in good condition with no signs of tractor or
trailer leaks.
Fueling Island — The covered fueling island is located adjacent and down hill from the Old Shop, and is not exposed to
stormwater. A spill kit is located at the fueling island. Staff fuel their tractor/trailers at this location. They can also service
their tractor/trailers with motor oil and antifreeze in this area. Two large dark stains, with an approximate length of 25 feet,
were observed on the gravel that originated from the fueling area. Staff commented that sometimes the drivers don't pay
attention during fueling and spills occur,
The facility should consider permanent methods to contain spills
-One 5-gallon bucket of water and oil is located at the fueling island. This bucket catches drips from the new motor oil
nozzle. Staff commented that the bucket is emptied into the trench drain in the Shop. The trench drain leads to an
oil/water separator, then to the municipal sanitary sewer system.
-One UST measure stick is located on the outside wall of the Old Shop and is exposed to storm water. A dark stain is
present on the graveled surface beneath the stick. Staff commented that some diesel fuel drips off the end off the stick
after measuring the UST.
The facility should evaluate methods to contain, collect and properly dispose of diesel fuel from the UST measure stick.
Shop —Tractor and trailer maintenance is performed in this area. Engine washing is also conducted in this area. One
trench floor drain is located in the middle of the shop that discharges to the sanitary sewer system through an oil/water
separator. Staff noted that the oil/water separator is emptied by a waste hauler every 5 years. One 250-gallon used
motor oil tank is located inside the Shop and is not exposed to stormwater. The tank is located inside a steel containment
structure. The used motor oil tank was not labeled. Oil absorbent was located inside the steel containment structure. Oil
staining was present in the oil absorbent. The steel containment structure was missing the plug that contains spilled
product.
The facility should properly label all containers and provide a plug for the steel containment structure as well as promptly
removing all spills. The facility should also evaluate the tank for leaks and alternatives to reduce spills.
-An air Compressor is located on a concrete pad in a shed and is not exposed to storm water. Bleed off from the air
compressor, a mixture of water and oil, discharges to the floor of the shed. A minor discharge of bleed off reaches the
ground outside.
The facility should contain, collect, and properly dispose of the oil/water mixture.
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Comments (Continued):
Permittee needs to ensure that a trained responsible person is on site at all times during facility operations and this
person(s) is specifically identified in the SPPP. There was no documentation of inspections and maintenance activities
associated with the stormwater control systems.
The responsible party for revision of the SPPP was not identified and no annual review or updated records were included
in the SPPP. However, no changes were noted to the design, construction, operation, or maintenance of the facility.

Dear Ms. Allocco;
Thank you for talking with me last week about the CEl report for the inspection conducted at our
Charlotte terminal on February 19, 2008. Below is our response to each of the listed deficiencies.
Truck Washing -- This practice has been discontinued.
Trash Dumpster— We will obtain a covered and plugged dumpster.
Eyewash — We will evaluate the discharge pipe and make necessary corrections.
Stormwater BMP — We will evaluate and properly maintain the BMP.
Fuel island — We have looked for permanent spill containment methods. At one point, we had planned to
expand the concrete pad and put raised edges around the pad. We were unable to do that because a natural
gas line runs across our lot very close to one of the corners of the existing pad. We would welcome any
suggestions from DWQ. We will take extra precautions to collect and properly dispose of residual fuel
from the UST measuring stick.
Shop — We will label the used oil tank and install a plug in the containment. We will collect and properly
dispose of the oil/water discharge from the air compressor.
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan — Changes to the plan shall be made as appropriate and as noted
in the letter of March 19.
We are presently in the process of making the above noted changes and corrections. Should you have any
questions or require any further information please contact me. Thank you again for your assistance.

STORAM TER POW ON PREY,FNTION PLAN
INTRODUCTION
1.1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE
This Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) was prepared in compliance with Howell's Motor
Freight's General Permit for this facility. The SWPPP is designed to limit the exposure and subsequent
transport of potential source material in stormwater runoff from property. This SWPPP utilizes a series of
worksheets to identify: Pollution Prevention Team members, exposed source materials, non-stormwater
discharges (if any), best management practices (BMP's), employee training programs and emergency
response contacts. An annual inspection program is designed to help ensure that all aspects of the SWPPP
are being implemented..
1.2 SITE LOCATION AND LAYOUT
A site plan of the facility showing material storage areas, structures, and drainage patterns is shown in
Figure 1.
DESCRIPTION OF THE FACILITY
2.1 DE5CRIPTION OF INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY
Howell's operates the facility as a trucking terminal. The activities performed at this terminal that could
impact stromwater are fuel dispensing and maintenance. Source materials which could affect stormwater
runoff are generally stored either inside or under cover and are therefore not exposed to rainfall.
2.2 SOURCE MATgRIAL BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
Howell's policy is to store all materials which could cause adverse environmental impact either inside or
under cover. This reduces the potential for source materials to come into direct contact with precipitation.
Howell's fuels its equipment under cover for added protection. The USTs utilize Statistical Inventory
Reconciliation (SIR) as a means of inventory control and leak detection. Tires, batteries, used motor oil,
and parts cleaner are picked up and disposed of off -site by licensed suppliers and reeyclers. A description
of source materials used at this facility is shown on Worksheet # 1. Copies of MSDs for source materials
used at the facility are included in Appendix 1.
2.3 EXISTING 1✓NVQtENTI M►NAGEMENT FLANS
Howell's maintains an Emergency Contingency Plan which includes corporate, local, and state personnel to
be contacted should a discharge or release occur. A copy of the plan for this terminal is included in
Appendix 2.
2.4 POLLUTION INCIDENT HISTORY
See attached Worksheet#8 for a list of significant spills which have occurred at this facility during the past
three years.
2.5 IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE
Worksheet #2 shows the existing BMPs. and a schedule for BMPs currently not in place at this facility (if
any). The Pollution Prevention Team is responsible for implementing these BMPs.
PLAN IMPLEMENTATION

3.1 ORGANIZATION AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Worksheet #3 lists the members of the Pollution Prevention Tram along with a description of each
member's responsibility. This team is responsible for compliance with the SWPPP and for reporting and
follow up on all emergency situations. Timothy S. Shephard shall have overall responsibility for the overall
coordination, development, implementation and revision to this Plan.
3.2 ),IMERGENCY QGORDINATO
The initial contact in all emergency situations is the Terminal Manager. In the event of an environmental
situation, the Terminal Manager will assess the situation and notify appropriate Howell's personnel. The
Corporate Office will make necessary determination regarding notification to regulatory agencies. Details
of notification of such agencies is found in Section 6 of the SWPPP. A list of agencies, contacts, telephone
numbers and the responsibility of each agency appears in Worksheet #4.
SPR"EAK PREVENTION AND RESPONSE
4.1 PRE-RELEASE PLANNING
Figure 1 shows the areas on the site where potential source materials are stored. The source materials used
at the facility along with storage and materials management practices are summarized on Worksheet #1.
4.2 MATEMU COMPATIBILITY
Currently there are no known material compatibility concerns.
4.3 INSPECTION PROCEDURES AND REPORTING
The SWPPP requires that a minimum of one comprehensive site evaluation per year be performed by
qualified Howell's personnel. The site evaluation is intended to verify that the SWPPP is being adhered to
and to identify areas for improvement. Following that inspection the Safety Department will complete the
inspection Report and Certification Form (Appendix 3). The SWPPP requires that analytical monitoring be
performed on a semi- annual basis. Analytical results shall be attached to this plan in Appendix 4.
The SWPPP also requires quarterly site inspections and examination of stormwater quality. Following the
quarterly site inspection and examination an inspection report (Worksheet 05a) and report of stormwater
quality (Worksheet #5) are prepared. The inspector is responsible for ensuring that any deficiencies noted
on the inspection report are corrected. A corrective action schedule is required to be developed outlining a
program for correcting any deficiencies noted during the inspection which can not be corrected within 15
days following the inspection.
A copy of the inspection reports along with any proposed corrective action schedule is required to be
forwarded to Howell's Safety Department. It is the responsibility of the Safbty Department to ensure all
proposed corrective actions are appropriate and are implemented in a timely manner.
4.4 PREVENTATIVE ENAN E AND HOUSEIKEEPWG PROgRAMS
Periodic site inspections are a key element of the SWPPP. Recommended BMPs used for preventative
maintenance and housekeeping at this facility are described in Worksheet #2.
4.5 SITE SECURITY
This facility operates 24 hours per day, 6 days per week The facility is lighted and fenced.

4.6 NATURAL„D&ASTE
Should a natural disaster such as hurricane, tornado, flood, etc. occur, the Terminal Manager and Safety
Department will be notified immediately in order to activate contingency plans.
4.7 EMPLOYEE TRAINING
Howell's relies on employee training as the first line of defense in Pollution Prevention. Training Programs
are recorded on Worksheet V.
QUNTEIt MEASURES
5.1 R WASURESZQ BE MERIAMN BY TIM F C1ILTTY
Terminal personnel are trained to take measures to control spills and to contact the appropriate outside
personnel to deal with clean-up as necessary. A trained and responsible person shall be on site at all times
during facility operations. See Worksheet #3.
5.2 EVACUATION PLANS
Each Howell's terminal has a site speck evacuation plan. This plan is practiced at least annually.
Emergency phone numbers are posted throughout the terminal and are also part of the Emergency
Contingency Plan.
5.3 EMERGENCY EOUIPMEIVI
Each facility is equipped with the following emergency equipment:
1. Fire Extinguishers
2. First Aid Kits
3. Shovels
4. Spill Kits and Absorbent
5. Eye Washes
