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 assessments) 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

Stormwater Permit COC NCG080646
Mecklenburg County, NC
Dear Mr. Enzman:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
Enclosed are the monitoring results from the laboratory analyses performed on the
discharge from Stormwater Outfall 01 at the subject facility. The samples analyzed were grab
samples collected during the sampling investigation performed on October 17, 2008, by Heather
Sorensen of Charlotte -Mecklenburg Storm Water Services. This sampling investigation was
conducted as part of a cooperative working agreement between Mecklenburg County and the
Division of Water Quality. In addition, the sampling investigation was conducted on behalf of
the City of Charlotte in compliance with the City's NPDES Permit, NCS000240, Part II Section
H.
The enclosed monitoring results indicate that the stormwater discharged on October 17,
2008, contained an elevated concentration of Total Suspended Solids compared with the
benchmark values contained in Stormwater general permit NCG080000. Please review the
requirements of your stormwater permit and take the required steps/actions to reduce the
concentration of Total Suspended Solids leaving your site. Through the development and
implementation of stormwater management programs it is the Division of Water Quality's
expectation that stormwater discharges at industrial sites covered by NPDES stormwater permits
do not impact receiving waters.,
Little Sugar Creek is currently listed on the North Carolina 303(d) list of impaired waters
and has TMDLs in place for fecal coliform, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity. As noted in Part I
of your general permit, facilities which discharge stormwater into 303(d) impaired waters may be
required to demonstrate at permit renewal that they do not have a reasonable potential to violate
applicable water quality standards for such pollutants due to the stormwater discharge(s) on site.

Inspection Summary:
Facility Description;
The Amtrak facility transports passengers and cargo via trains and loads/unloads at the Charlotte facility as necessary.
Contracted fueling operations, minor servicing of locomotives and cars, and sewage removal from passenger trains also
occurs on site. Purser Oil conducts on site fueling of locomotives. Drummac Incorporated conducts on site sewage
removal, which is discharged into the municipal sanitary sewer system owned by Charlotte Mecklenburg Utilities. One
train is based out of this facility with run through trains also receiving on site fueling. The facility operates 24 hours a day,
7 days a week.
Compliance History:
The permittee/facility does not have any prior compliance issues with the NC Division of Water Quality and the following
was found in the Charlotte Mecklenburg Storm Water Services Compliance files.
On May 17, 2008, approximately 200 gallons of diesel fuel was spilled to the gravel area around the train tracks during a
fueling operation by Purser Oil. No fuel reached surface waters or the storm drain system. The spill was contained and
removed by HEPACO.
Industrial Operations/City of Charlotte Stormwater Ordinance Review:
Contractor Area —
An outside contractor, Drummac Incorporated, uses this outside area for staging. The area includes two small storage
sheds and a graveled area around the sheds. The following was observed in the contractor area outside and exposed to
stormwater.
• Two weed killer containers stored outside on pallet. One container containing product was open.
• Four empty 55-gallon detergent barrels were sealed and turned upside down on earthen ground for storage.
• Three 55-gallon barrels of detergent, cleaning compound, and deodorant were located outside on a pallet, Each barrel
had a pump or nozzle for bulk product dispensing. There was a bucket located under the nozzle of the deodorant barrel.
Product was observed on the top and sides of the detergent and cleaning compound barrel.
The perm4tee should implement proper chemical storage practices to prevent pollution discharges by its employees or
contracted personnel.
Fueling Operations —
Fueling operations occur along two separate lines; the service track and run through outside track. Fueling of locomotives
is conducted by outside contractor Purser oil that delivers diesel fuel by vehicle. Each locomotive holds 2,200 gallons of
diesel fuel. The fueling areas appeared to be in good condition.
Trash Dumpster —
One small trash dumpster with no cover is located outside and exposed to stormwater. During the inspection, liquid was
leaking from rusted holes in the base of the dumpster.
The facility should cover the dumpster to reduce exposure to stormwater and seal all holes to ensure no pollutant
discharge.

NOV Response Letter
Dear Ms. Allocco:
We appreciate your inquiry for response to the Notice of Violation (NOV)
dated June 23, 2008, reference NCDENR tracking No. NOV-2008-PC-0446.
Amtrak is committed to operating its facilities in compliance with all
environmental rules and regulations.
The above referenced NOV was issued for Amtrak's non-compliance with
certain requirements of the General Stormwater Permit NCG080000- A
number of the issues have already been addressed. The inspection findings
and SWPPP deficiencies are anticipated to be corrected by August 29, 2008.
• The contractor storage area has been cleaned up.
• The empty drums and pump sprayers have been removed.
• A secondary containment covered but has been ordered and will be
utilized for storage of the cleaning chemical drums.
• The open top trash dumpster has been replaced with a new unit which
has an operable flip -top cover.
• SWPP Plan will be revised to correct deficiencies as Identified: a new
facility map and diagram which meet Permit requirements; a
discussion of the feasibility of alternatives to current practices; and
update of the Spill History narrative which will include the fuel release
on May 17, 2008,
• SWPP Plan records, including inspections, evaluations, and training will
be properly filed at the site. A number of the missing documents were
located in the computer files of a former employee who previously
handled the environmental compliance duties for the site. The files
have been updated and will be kept current.
• Sedimentation adjacent to storm drains and in several catch basins as
noted during the inspection will be removed.

Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions or need
