Permit: NCG110125 owner - Facility: City of Gastonia
Inspection Date: 09/0212011 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Comment: The City of Gastonia has begun implementation of the new stormwater
pollution prevention plan at the site. The Town of Cramerton has retained ownership of
the 'Street Maintenance' buildings on the side of the property, At the time of the
inspection, the Town of Cramerton was washing Cramerton owned vehicles and
allowing the associated washwater to discharge to the City of Gastonia stormwater
system. This issue should be addressed by the City of Gastonia with the Town of
Cramerton. In addition to cleaning up the area where used oil is stored, the AST with no
secondary containment should also be addressed.

COC No. NCGI10125
Gaston County
Coleen H. Sullins, Director
Division of Water Quality
Our records indicate that you have been issued the subject Certificate of Coverage (COC)
under General Permit (GP) No. NCG110000 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 conditions of the GP. If you have not already done so, it is suggested that
you thoroughly read the GP. Of particular importance are Part 11 and Part III, Sections A & B.
Part I1 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 qualitative monitoring that
should be performed at all outfalls that discharge stormwater runoff. Section C establishes analytical
monitoring requirements for facilities that have vehicle maintenance areas and use more than 55
gallons of new motor oil per month.
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 III, 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.

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.

Michael Parker, Mooresville Regional Office:
Please review the attached NOI application with the objective of responding to me
with a recommendation to issue the permit. I recognize that you may not visit each
new permittee during this NOI review, but it affords you the opportunity to log
the permit into your regional database and add the facility to a future monitoring
and compliance visit schedule. Therefore, your recommendation now to issue the
permit serves as your acknowledgement that (1) the facility is located in your
region, (2) that there are no current complaints outstanding about the facility
that have not been dealt with, and (3) that the facility may ultimately be

process. Chemical used are contained within dedicated structures. No dust or
particulates are generated at this facility.
Waste sludge is stored in an above ground concrete sludge holding tank. A
licensed sludge disposal company pumps the sludge from the holding tank
into trucks for land application off site.
(c) Figure 2 shows the existing stormwater system to scale as well as the existing
wastewater treatment plant facilities. The storm water system consists of 8
catch basins; 12- and 18 inch diameter stormwater pipe, and two discharges to
the South Fork of the Catawba River. The latitude and longitude of the
discharge point DPI is N35° 14' 10" and W81° 03' 42" respectively and
discharge point DP2 is N35° 14' 08" and W81 ° 03' 46" respectively.

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
Cramerton Eagle Road Wastewater Treatment Plant
Town of Cramerton
Gaston County, NC
'March 17, 2008
The Town of Cramerton developed a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, herein after
referred to as the Plan. This Plan was prepared as a part of the requirements set forth in
the General Stormwater Permit No. NCG 110000 issued by the State of North Carolina
Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Water Quality on May 1,
2003.
1. SITE PLAN
(a.) A general location map of the wastewater treatment plant existing facilities is
provided in Gaston County GIS mapping Figure 1 which shows the location
of the wastewater treatment plant in relationship to transportation routes and
the receiving water to which the stormwater outfall discharges, the South Fork
of the Catawba River. The latitude and longitude of the discharge points are
N350 14' 10", W 81' 03' 42" and N35° 14' 08", W 81' 03' 46" respectively.
(b.) The Town of Cramerton stores chemicals at the wastewater treatment plant
that are necessary for the operation and maintenance of the facility.

Small amounts of -other chemicals are stored on site such as reagents in the
laboratory, cleaning supplies, etc. that will not be included in this report.
The sodium hypochlorite, sodium hydroxide, sodium bisulfite, alum sulfate
and acid are brought to the plant site by a commercial truck and offloaded to
the Chemical Feed Building. Only quantities necessary for immediate use are
stored on site. There is no long term storage of these or other chemicals on
site.
All chemicals, Sodium Hypochlorite, Sodium hydroxide, sodium bisulfite,
alum sulfate and acid are stored in tanks within the chemical feed building.
There are no outside process areas involving chemicals and all feed equipment
is contained within the chemical feed building. The chemicals are pumped to
Town of Cramerton Slormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
Page 2 of 8

their respective discharge points within the plant area to support the biological
process. Chemical used are contained within dedicated structures. No dust or
particulates are generated at this facility.
Waste sludge is stored in an above ground concrete sludge holding tank. A
licensed sludge disposal company pumps the sludge from the holding tank
into trucks for land application off site.
(c.) Figure 2 shows the existing stormwater system to scale as well as the existing
wastewater treatment plant facilities. The storm water system consists of 8
catch basins; 12 and 18 inch diameter stormwater pipe, and two discharges to
the South Fork of the Catawba River. The latitude and longitude of the
discharge point DPI is N35° 14' 10" and W81° 03' 42" respectively and
discharge point DP2 is N35° 14' 08" and W81 ° 03' 46" respectively.
All other stormwater within the wastewater treatment plant is captured in the
catch basins and conveyed offsite through the onsite stormwater system to the
two discharge points.
(d.) There have been no spills or leaks at the wastewater treatment plant during the
5 previous years.
Town of Cramerion Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
Page 3 of 8

(e) Certification that the stormwater outfall has been evaluated for the presence of
non-stormwater discharges. Non-stormwater discharges have not been found
at the outfall.
2. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
(a.) Feasibility Study
An onsite evaluation was conducted of the chemicals utilized at the
wastewater treatment plan, the method of operations and storage practices
employed on site. The Town of Cramerton's operation staff is properly
managing the chemicals stored on site. There is no direct potential
contamination of stormwater by the chemicals utilized on site. No changes to
the existing operations and storage practices are recommended.
(b.) Secondary Containment Schedule
The chemicals stored at Eagle Road Wastewater Treatment Plant have
secondary containment areas. All tanks contained within the chemical
building is not subject to rain water.
(c.) Best Management Practices (BMP) Summary
No non-stormwater discharges were identified at the two existing discharge
points. All chemicals used at the wastewater treatment plant are properly
managed and stored by the operations staff. No spills or leaks have occurred
within the last five (5) years at the wastewater treatment plant. No structural
BMPs are necessary at the wastewater treatment plant at this time.
Town of Cramerton Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
Page 4 of 9

K
The following non-structural BMPs are recommended as good practice to
follow by the operations staff on a continuous basis.
Table 2: Non -Structural BMPs
1. Eliminate exposure of materials and equipment wherever possible by
moving materials and equipment to indoor locations.
2. Practice good housekeeping on -site. Keep materials handled and
stored at the facility in an orderly fashion.
3. Examine process and exchange hazardous materials for non -hazardous
ones wherever possible.
4. Establish routine leak and maintenance checks to minimize the chance
of spills before they occur. When spills do occur, clean them up
immediately.
5. Establish bulk storage tank protocols that minimize the risk of spills
during loading and unloading procedures.
6. Store used pallets and process waste dumpsters inside or under a roof
where water cannot flow on or around them.
3. SPILL PREVENTION AND RESPONSE PLAN
(a.) Conduct an Annual Inspection of the Plant Facilities.
(b.) Update the SPPP based on the Annual Review.
(c.) The Director of Public Utilities (DPU) shall have overall responsibility for
implementing the Spill Prevention and Response Plan.
(d.) The Wastewater Plant Superintendent shall have day-to-day responsibility for
operating procedures and controlling potential contamination of stormwater.
(e) If an accidental chemical spill results in potential stormwater contamination the
Wastewater Plant Superintendent shall take immediate steps to protect the spill
from entering the catch basins. This shall initially consist of placing impervious
protection devices around the catch basins affected by the spill. These devices

Page 5 of 8

shall be on hand at the wastewater treatment plant at all times. The Wastewater
Plant Superintendent shall then contact the DPU for instructions on spill clean
up and follow-up measures.
(f) Contact the Division of Water Quality if the accidental spill results in any water
quality violation.
(g.) A post evaluation shall be conducted after the spill cleanup has been completed
to determine the cause of the spill and to take necessary measures to adjust
operation and maintenance procedures to eliminate as much as possible the
potential for contamination to stormwater.
4. PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE AND GOOD HOUSEKEEPING
