Dear Mr. Turner:
Dee ; reeman
lecretary
A follow-up evaluation was conducted by Aliyah Owens of Charlotte -Mecklenburg Stormwater Services (CMSWS) in
response to the deficiencies noted in the Compliance Evaluation inspection conducted on March 25, 2010. A site visit
was conducted on December 22, 2010, to complete the follow-up evaluation. The follow-up inspection was conducted as
part of a cooperative working agreement between Mecklenburg County and the Division of Water Quality. In addition, the
inspection was conducted on behalf of the City of Charlotte in compliance with the City's NPDES Permit, NCS000240.'
Part lI Section H.
The follow-up compliance evaluation inspection found that the Norfolk Southern Railway Company has implemented
corrective actions to address the deficiencies noted in the original inspection under the City of Charlotte Stormwater
Ordinance including:
• Batteries are stored in a covered storage bin to prevent stormwater contamination
• Sags of soybean grease have been placed on top of wooden pallets and covered with a tarp and
• The storage of crossties indoors is not feasible because the crossties are used frequently to replace damaged
crossties. The permittee will include the crosstie storage area in the routine facility inspection.
Thank you for the assistance and cooperation following the original inspection. Overall, the facility's Stormwater program
was wed developed and implemented and this Office commends the permittee's efforts to ensure compliance with your
NPDES permit.
If you have any questions, comments, or need assistance understanding any aspect of your permit, please do not hesitate
to contact Aliyah Owens with CMSWS or Ms. Marcia Allocco of the Division of Water Quality 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 f0 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://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/Forms_Documents.htm. 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

Inspection Date: 12122/2010 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Follow-up
Inspection Summary:
Facility Description:
The Norfolk Southern Railway facility conducts fueling activities on site. Trucks discharge diesel fuel to the railcars and
the permittee refers to this process as direct to locomotive fueling. Also, the permittee conducts minor mechanical repairs
of railcars on site. Ten people are employed at the facifity.
Compliance History:
A stormwater inspection was conducted on March 25, 2010, by Aliyah Owens of Charlotte -Mecklenburg Storm Water
Services (CMSWS). The permittee was issued a Notice of Deficiency (NOD) on April 27, 2010, as a result of the
inspection.
Industrial Operations/City of Charlotte Stormwater Ordinance Review:
During the initial inspection several housekeeping issues were observed. New rail ties were observed in a pile outdoors
and exposed to stormwater. The odor of cresol was noticed on the rail ties. Cresol is a chemical that can impact surface
waters. It was recommended that the rail ties be stored indoors or under cover until they are ready to be used on the
tracks. Non -spillable batteries were observed outdoors exposed to stormwater. It was recommended that all batteries be
stored indoors to prevent surface water contamination. Four 1,980 pound bags of soybean grease were observed
outdoors in thick plastic bags. It was recommended that the permittee store soybean grease indoors to prevent surface
water contamination. The storage of rail car parts was observed outdoors and exposed to stormwater. Facility personnel
were not able to determine if the rail car parts have come in contact with oil and grease. if the rail car parts have come in
contact with oil or grease, then the parts should be stored indoors or under cover and elevated off the ground to prevent
surface water contamination.
During the follow-up stormwater inspection no housekeeping issues were observed. The permittee stores non -spillable
batteries in a covered storage bin to prevent stormwater contamination. The bags of soybean grease have been placed
on top of wooden pallets and covered with a tarp. The permittee stated that it was not feasible to store these bags indoors
because the soybean grease bags are frequently transported into and out of the facility. The permittee stated that the
storage of crossties indoors is not feasible because the crossties are used frequently to replace damaged crossties. The
permittee will include the crosstie storage area in the routine facility inspection to prevent stormwater contamination.

The new crossties are used everyday to replace damaged crossties. At
this time it is not technologically or economically feasible to have the
crossties stored inside or under cover until they are ready to be used
on the tracks. Norfolk Southern Railway will make the crossties
storage area be inspected as a part of routine facility inspections to
insure that no significant materials from the crossties storage area is
impacting waterways from storm water runoff.
2) Non -spill able batteries storage outdoors.
All batteries have been collected and placed in proper storage
container used for transportation and disposal.

The bags of soybean grease have been placed on wooden pallets and

Dear Mr. Wehrmeister:
Coleen }-I. Sullins Director
Division of Water Quality
Our records indicate that you have been issued the subject Certificate of Coverage (COC)
under General Pert -nit (GP) No. NCGO80000 from the North Carolina Division of Water Quality to
discharge stormwater associated with industrial activities performed at your facility. The purpose of
this letter is to advise you of the importance of the GP and the liabilities in the event of failure to
comply with the terms and c6nditions of the GP. If you have not already done so, it is suggested that
you thoroughly read the GP. Of particular importance are Part lI and Part III, Sections A & B.
Part II is titled "MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR PERMITTED
DISCHARGERS". Part 11, Section A discusses the need to develop a Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SPPP), which includes, but is not limited to the following components: a site plan, a
stormwater management plan, a spill prevention and response plan, preventative maintenance and
good housekeeping program, and employee training. Specific guidance as to the information to be
included in each plan is also listed in this Section. Section B sets forth the analytical monitoring that
should be performed at all outfalls that discharge stormwater runoff from facilities that have vehicle
maintenance areas and use more than 55 gallons of new motor oil per month.
Part 11, Sections C is titled "DISCHARGE LIMITATIONS AND ANALYTICAL
MONITORING REQUIREMENTS - OIL WATER SEPARATORS AND PETROLEUM BULK
STATIONS AND TERMINALS". Table 3 of this Section sets forth the analytical monitoring
required by your GP if you discharge from an oil/water separator and/or a petroleum bulk station or
terminal. Part II, Section D of the GP sets forth the qualitative monitoring required during the term of
your permit, which should coincide with the initial analytical monitoring event (regardless of the
season). Table 4 lists the qualitative monitoring to be performed during the term of this permit.

Part III of the GP consists of general conditions and definitions consistent with all GPs, which
are applicable to your SW discharge. These conditions also include special reporting requirements in
the event of noncompliance, bypassing of treatment works (if applicable), and other conditions that
pertain to your stormwater discharge. In Part 111, Section B (2), please note that GPs are not
transferable. If you, as the permittee, cease to need this COC (for example: your facility has closed),
then you should request that the COC be rescinded. It should also be noted that the GP requires that
any monitoring data be retained by the permittee for a period of three (3) years and made available to
a Division representative upon request. If you haven't already done so, please note that any analytical
and/or qualitative monitoring as required by this GP should begin upon commencement of your SW
discharge as a result of a representative storm event.
Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of any NPDES Permit may subject the
permittee to enforcement action pursuant to Section 143-215.6 of the North Carolina General Statutes
in the form of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per violation. Criminal penalties may also be
recommended for violations determined to be intentional or willful. If you find that you are unable to
comply with the terms and conditions of the GP, you should contact this Office immediately.
Lastly, when representatives from this Office contact you in order to conduct an inspection of
your facility, you should be prepared to demonstrate compliance with all terms and conditions
included in the GP. When an inspection is scheduled at your facility, the inspection will focus on
evaluating the following items: Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, stormwater outfall locations, a
review of any qualitative and/or analytical monitoring data required by the GP, and any other
activities that may be required by the GP that are unique to your discharge. This information should
be readily available if requested by a Division representative.
Copies of the GPs and associated documents can be accessed from the following web page:
