Bill Moore and myself met Craig Dickerson, Nacco Environmental Health, (252)931-5343, on site to discuss how best to Sample Discharge Outfalls to prevent potential offsite Zinc exposure from effecting Nacco's NPDES SW data levels Following evaluating the site, it was recommended that Nacco Sample Stormwater Discharge Outfal) 001 (SDO), as usual (unless relocating to just upstream of the Overton's outfall contribution was of interest SDO 002 is currently receiving the effects from adjacent fields and other sources beyond the facilities control The site visit was in response to Mr Dickerson's request to relocate SDO 002, from it's historic downstream location, back upstream to )ust downstream of the retention pond ) The recommendation left with Mr Dickerson was to continue sampling downstream of the Retention Pond constructed in 2008, just downstream of the cmp discharge, to include any weir discharge, and to add 2 addional sampling locations to capture the site drainage areas, without the field and other affects. It was discussed that with at least 3 months of the outlined sampling data, we could then revisit. to determine if sampling fewer SDO's may be possible, while hopefully preventing the benchmark exceedances Page 2 PerrnR: NCG030080 Owner - Facility: Nacco Materials Handling Group Inc Inspection Dale: 07115/2014 Inspection Type : Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine Permit and Outfalls # is a copy of the Permit and the Certificate of Coverage available at the site? # Were all outfalls observed during the inspection? # If the facility has representative outfall status, is it properly documented by the Division? # Has the facility evaluated all illicit (non stormwater) discharges?

I think the person entering data has had to take a hiatus from entering it regularly. Do you still have access to that to look up monitoring data? Jennifer Jones set up spreadsheets several years ago and shared access with regional inspectors. Do you have a Google Account with your work email that was part of that? Maybe you don't know. Attached is the spreadsheet of all NCGO3 data we have access to in GD, but it may not reflect all of what's in Central Files. I've filtered it for NCGO30O8O... the data only go up to 2012 samples. Not terribly many results for metals, as far as I can tell. [FYI, if you turn off the filter on COC number, you'll see everything we have for NCGO3s as of today since 2007. It's not a perfect data collection system, but it's the best we could cobble together for you all to have access when we did it.] As far as form letters, we have some guidance on our internal guidance website (http://portal.ncdenr.org/group/ir/stormwater-guidance, remember you have to log into the portal to get there). Look under the section for NCGO3, and you'll see some example letters about releasing folks from monitoring — as well as the Tier Response Guidance for ROs — that we've put up there. I'd examine the site and ask questions to determine if they've done what they can do so far to remove potential exposure of Zn. Just moving the outfall may or may not "fix" the problem ... it may just avoid it without addressing the source(s). Also keep in mind, when you do review their data, that the new Zn benchmark going into permits these days is 0.126 mg/l. That may or may not mean much for this site, depending on what kind of concentrations they have been finding there. I hope that helps. 0, Bethany Georgoulias, Environmental Engineer NCDENR 1 Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources Stormwater Permitting Program 1612 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1612 512 N.

They have not indicated which tier they have "stepped into" yet; but, apparently have exceeded more than once. They want us to visit to discuss possible relocation of one of their outfalls & maybe release from additional sampling ? We plan to visit their site next Tuesday. NCG03 has some language regarding Tier 3 response to the effect that DWQ may release the permittee from continued monthly monitoring under Tier 3, with a "release letter". Just want to know ahead, do we have a form letter for this, does the CO, or region prepare this letter ? With limited info from the industry rep, my perception is that relocation of the affected outfall may be a reasonable option; and if so, it may be reasonable to release them from the additional sampling required by Tier 3 ? All of this TBD; my granddaughters tell me this means "to be determined"; I'm learning a lot from them lately. Do you think you or Bethany could teach an "ole dog" like me to pull their monitoring data on-line; without deleting everything in Central Files. Your thoughts & help are much appreciated, as always. Have a great week.

They worked with the company to determine monthly monitoring on the basis of copper or zinc exceedances was not necessary. In this case, it was sooner than the facility actually entered Tier 3 (as per our guidance on the RO's option to react sooner, if the RO is willing and/or unable to persuade the permittee to step through Tier 2 completely before trying to demonstrate industrial activities are not the cause). I will post this letter on our guidance documents internal website soon. Please share this with your staff that do industrial stormwater inspections. I included some contacts that have dealt with this issue before, but please distribute farther as necessary. In instances that you send a similar letter and grant monitoring relief to a permittee, we recommend recording the rationale the RO used to conclude monitoring relief is appropriate. If there are more details than are written in the letter, please document those and copy us here in the Central Office, so we can include all the information in the permit file for future inquiries. You can also add a comment in BIMS about it. In some cases, we'll have had correspondence with you about it here in CO already, but if not, this rationale will be helpful for example scenarios and consistency. Thanks!

Skvarla, 111, Secretary SUBJECT: NPDES Stormwater Permit: Request for Regulatory Relief Unison Engine Components, Inc. General Permit No: NCG030000; COC No: NCG030543 Buncombe County Dear Mr. Bowman: In response to your request for Regulatory Relief, NCDENR-Land Quality Section staff conducted a site inspection on January 14, 2013. The primary goal of the inspection was to evaluate the drainage to outfall 006 and to insure that there are no illicit discharges at your facility. At the time of this inspection the facility was found to be in compliance with permit NCG030543 and no illicit discharges were discovered. Monthly monitoring has been triggered by two consecutive exceedances of the zinc and copper benchmarks at your facility. Please keep in mind that benchmark exceedances are NOT limit violations or violations of permit conditions; however, you are obligated to follow the tiered response actions outlined in your permit. Unison Engine Components, Inc. has been following the tiered response actions and therefore is in compliance with the permit. Based on your materials inventory and certification that industrial activities at Unison Engine Components pose little to no potential for release of copper and zinc into stormwater we are granting regulatory relief in the form of a collapsed Tier 2 — Tier 3 response. Upon receipt of this letter, Unison Engine Components, Inc. may resume the permit specified semiannual analytical monitoring for the remainder of your current permit. Your current permit is set to expire on October 31, 2017. This decision only applies to the copper and zinc benchmarks. A benchmark exceedance of any other parameter listed in your permit will trigger tiered response actions as described in the general permit. Asheville Regional Office, 2090 US Highway 70, Swannanoa, North Carolina, 28778-8211 Telephone 828-296-4500 Fax 828-299-7043 One http.//portal.ncdenr.o[gbwebArAand:quality NlotthCarofina aturall!f An Equal Opportunity / Affirmative Action Employer Mr. Jeff Bowman January 21, 2014 Page 2 of 2 You must notify this office in writing, within five business days, if you become aware of any significant source of copper or zinc at your facility that has the potential to be exposed to stormwater. The relief granted in this letter is contingent upon the current industrial practices at Unison Engine Components. If industrial practices change and copper or zinc does become a significant stormwater exposure risk then this office reserves the right to withdraw this decision and reinstate the permit specified tiered response or other actions that may be warranted by the new set of circumstances. Please retain and append this letter to your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) or permit.

Director December 4, 2012 Dee Freeman Secretary Subject: NPDES Stormwater Permit Coverage Renewal Nacco Materials Handling Group COC Number NCG030080 Pitt County In response to your renewal application for continued coverage under stormwater General Permit NCG030000 the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) is forwarding herewith the reissued 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 (COC) • A copy of General Permit NCG030000 • A copy of the Technical Bulletin for the General Permit • Two copies of the Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Form • Two copies of the Qualitative Monitoring Report Form The General Permit authorizes discharges of Stormwater, and it specifies your obligations for discharge controls, management, monitoring, and record keeping. Please review the new permit to familiarize yourself with all the changes in the reissued permit. Your facility has six (6) months from the time of receipt of the permit to update your current SPPP to reflect all new permit requirements. The first sample period of your permit begins January 1, 2013. Your facility must sample a "measureable storm event" beginning during the periods beginning January 1 and July 1 of every year (or, if applicable, report "No Flow," as outlined in Part III, Section E). Also, please note that Tier 3 Actions in Part II of your permit are triggered by benchmark exceedances on four occasions beginning on the effective date of this permit and do not count prior exceedances. The more significant changes in the General Permit since your last COC was issued are noted either in the Draft Permit Fact Sheet that accompanied the public notice (http://Portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/ws/su/current- notices), or in the Response to Comments / Summary of Changes and Technical Bulletin documents that are posted on the Stormwater Permitting Unit's website with the new General Permit. Please visit http://Portal.ncdenr.orp/web/wq/ws/su/npdessw (click on 'General Permits' tab) to review that information for your specific General Permit carefully. 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Location 512 N.

Additional conditions for specific industry sectors have been added to the SPPP requirements in some cases. • Sections 8, C: Failure to perform analytical stormwater monitoring may result in the Division requiring that the permittee begin a monthly sampling scheme. • Sections 8, C: A lower TSS benchmark of SO mg/I for HQW, ORW, PNA and Tr Waters applies to these more sensitive waters. • Sections 8, C. The monitoring parameter Oil & Grease (O&G) has been replaced by the parameter Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) for vehicle maintenance areas, and in some cases, other analytical monitoring requirements. • Sections 8, C, D: Inability to sample due to adverse weather must be recorded in the SPPP, or in separate on -site records if your General Permit does not require an SPPP. Adverse weather is defined in the "Definitions" section of the permit. • Sections 8, C. The term "Representative Storm Event" has been replaced by "Measurable Storm Event." A measurable storm event is defined in the permit. • Section D: If the permittee fails to respond effectively to problems identified by qualitative monitoring, DWQ may require the permittee to perform corrective action. Please review Parts III and IV to understand the Standard Conditions of your new NPDES General Permit, including Compliance and Liability, Reporting, Monitoring and Records requirements; Operation and Maintenance obligations; and Definitions. Please note that all samples analyzed in accordance with the terms of this permit must be submitted to the Division on Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) forms available on the Stormwater Permitting Unit's website above. DMR forms must be delivered to the Division no later than 30 days from the date the facility receives the sampling results from the laboratory. Also note that existing permittees do not need to submit a renewal request prior to expiration unless directed by the Division.

Pickle and M. Randall, DWQ SPU March 25, 2012 They are also commonly called a TTO (Total Toxic Organics) Plan. ***See next page for TTO testing info. and tables from Ap CFR 122*** Solvent management plans are site specific with respect to the use of solvents as part of the process (i.e., most of site specific limits are tied to production uses and limits on the air permit for VOCs .) Other key requirements are based on what the site prohibits or how they are to handle solvents. Some of the more general information in a solvent management plan is taken from the MSDS (i.e., all solvents shall be used in a well ventilated area, floor drains shall be covered, spills shall be cleaned up in accordance with all federal, state, and local requirements, etc.) Look for these elements: ✓ An inventory of solvents on site, along with quantities on both an instantaneous basis and a yearly throughput basis. ✓ MSDSs ✓ A site map locating the quantities of solvents as to storage and application points. ✓ A narrative identifying the control/containment measures — curbs, sumps, double -wail tanks, awnings. Details of any special epoxy or other resistant coatings in the containment areas. ✓ Any lock -out procedures instituted to prevent unauthorized use or spills. ✓ A listing of countermeasure and clean-up supplies, and a site map showing the location of these supplies. ✓ Identification of a spent solvent, or other solvent wastes storage locations, and their placement on the site map. ✓ Identification of their haz waste carrier for spent solvents. ✓ Identification of the ultimate disposal site for their spent solvents (It's not enough to say, "Safety Kleen picks it up monthly.") Where does it go, ultimately? ✓ Any RCRA or EPA identification numbers applicable. ✓ Emergency phone numbers: fire department; security guard shack; police; plant manager or designee. ✓ Local WWTP phone number if the facility has a local 'Slug Plan.' ✓ Location of floor drains in the facility. ✓ Inspection schedule for solvent areas, and inspection of stormwater conveyances to confirm absence of solvents in the conveyances. ✓ Identification of staff responsible for implementation of the Solvent Management Plan. ✓ Staff training records for the Solvent Management Plan. ✓ Record that the Plan has been updated annually. ✓ Record of any solvent spills or releases. Record of any clean-up activities. It's unlikely that any one solvent plan would contain all of these elements — site circumstances might not require them all. However, in many cases we want to encourage them toward the more detailed and thorough end of the spectrum. What about gasoline? Gasoline can be used as a solvent and should be included, particularly at sites like auto salvage yards.

I called your office in response to e-mail correspondence between Tim Fox and Andy Alexander of Brunnell- Lammons Engineering, Inc. (As a reminder I am the new stormwater contact for the NCDENR Asheville Regional Office). Mr. Alexander has requested a temporary suspension from the tiered response actions detailed in your general permit, NCG030000, based on an investigation Brunnell-Lammons Engineering, Inc. conducted this past spring (see attached discussion and results). I have advised Unison to continue the tiered response as detailed in the permit (our Central Office is working on a modification to how we implement the permit conditions). It would help us with that task if you would call the Central Office, (919) 807-6376, and make your comments to them as well. I want to stress that as long as Unison follows the permit specified tiered response they will remain in compliance with the permit even if Unison continues to exceed benchmark values for copper and zinc. A benchmark exceedance alone does not trigger a violation or enforcement action. Permit text: The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3. the benchmark values in Table 3 are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for the implementation of the permittee's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan fSPPP). Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwoter Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. See below the descriptions of Tier One, Tier Two, and Tier Three response actions. In the event that DWQ releases the permittee from continued monthly monitoring under Tier Three, DWQ's release letter remains in effect through the subsequent reissuance of this permit, unless the release letter provides for other conditions or duration. Unison should include the investigation referenced above as part of their tiered response actions. Additionally, Unison should document any other actions they have taken to address zinc and copper benchmark exceedances and document these actions in their Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). We are aware that copper and zinc benchmark values are an issue of concern within the metal fabrication industry. We remain in contact with our Central Office to communicate the efforts and difficulties the industry is having trying to meet these benchmarks. We will communicate any guidance or changes that address these benchmarks as it becomes available. I want to thank Jeff Bowman, Jennifer Rendon, Brunnell-Lammons Engineering, inc. and Unison for their proactive approach and diligence in trying to address benchmark exceedances at the Unison facility in Asheville, NC. Don't hesitate to contact me directly at 828-296-4616 if I can be of further assistance.

A� NCDENR North Garolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources Land Quality Section Tracy E, Davis, PE, CPM Director September 3, 2013 To: Stormwater Permitting Program staff (Central Office) Land Quality Section Regional Engineers From: Bradley Bennett, Stormwater Permitting Program Supervisor Pat McCrory, Governor John E. Skvaria, III, Secretary Guidance: Implementing the Tiered response structure in NPDES industrial stormwater General Permits Pu&pose: The purpose of this memo is to provide Stormwater Permitting Program (SPP) staff and Regional Office staff with guidance on supplying consistent direction to permittees on implementing the Tiered response structure in their stormwater General Permits. Backeround• Both Central Office and Regional Office staff have experienced an increase in the number of requests for assistance and direction from permittees and their consultants in response to benchmark exceedances under the recently revised General Permit for Metal Fabrication industries, NCG030000. NCG03 was revised in November 2012, with the addition of twice -per -year sampling for total copper and total zinc. In addition, in August 2013, the stormwater programs were transferred into the Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources, and subsequently staff in the DEMLR land Quality Section (LQS) has been charged with new responsibilities in the stormwater permitting programs. Scope; While the most immediate trigger for this guidance is the increase in questions about Tiered response actions for copper and zinc benchmark exceedances under NCG03, this guidance is intended to apply to all of the industrial stormwater General Permits that contain the Tiered response action structure. Guidance Tier 1: Tier l response actions are triggered by any analytical monitoring result in excess of the benchmark value. While the language may vary slightly between General Permits, the permittee's obligation is to investigate all reasonably apparent possible causes of the exceedanee, identify potential response actions, implement response actions (if feasible response actions have been identified), and make a written record of the Tier I response actions in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). Tier 2: Upon two consecutive exceedances for the same parameter at the same outfall, the permittee is required to repeat the Tier 1 response actions (investigate, identify, implement, record), and immediately begin monthly monitoring. The permittee may drop out of Tier 2 status upon the accumulation of three consecutive monitoring results below the benchmark value. 1612 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1612 • Telephone 919-707-9220 I FAX: 919-733.2876 512 North Salisbury Street, Raleigh, North Carolina 27604 • Internet: hfp:llportal.ncdenr.orglweb/Inland-quality An Equal Opportunity I Affirmative Action Employer - 50% Recycled 110% Post Consumer Paper Guidance on 'Tiered responses under stormwater permits September 3, 2013 Page 2 of 3 Tier 3: Upon the accumulation of four exceedances for the same parameter, the permittee is required to contact the Regional Engineer (RE) and request assistance from the LQS. The RE has a wide range of freedom to address the exceedances and must take into consideration the unique site conditions and the potential to impact water quality when making a decision. The RE has the freedom to determine that some LQS and permittee responses are appropriate for a particular set of circumstances, while the same responses may not be the best course of action in other similar but unique situations. The RE and SPP share the programmatic tension between being consistent within and between regions, but not allowing previous determinations at other superficially similar sites to preclude appropriate responses. In reply to the permittee's request for assistance, the RE shall communicate to the permittee in writing the outcome of his or her considerations of site conditions, and shall provide direction to the permittee as to what actions or results will constitute compliance with the permit conditions. New guidance point: Instead of requiring the permittee to rigidly observe the Tier 2 and Tier 3 sequence in the permit text, the RE at his or her own discretion, may collapse the Tier 2 — Tier 3 sequence. This means that upon the permittee's second consecutive exceedance, the RE may immediately assess site conditions, excuse monthly monitoring, and subsequently communicate�in:writing what alternate actions or results will constitute compliance with the permit conditions in the future. The permittee will be considered to he in Tier 3 status. The permittee must still repeat the Tier 2 walk around, and identify response actions, implement feasible response actions, and record the actions. In August 2013, General Permit NCG21 for the wood products manufacturing industry was revised to incorporate this collapsed Tier concept. Seethe provisions in Tier 2 and Tier 3 of that permit, Part 1I Page 7 of 10 (excerpt attached), for an illustration of how we intend to eventually revise all the General Permits. For example, under NCG03 which has a zinc benchmark: Upon two consecutive zinc exceedances, the permittee is obligated to again execute the Tier I walk around, identify feasible response actions, and implement one, if a feasible response action is identified. But, the RE may determine that monthly monitoring for zinc=serves•no• purpose, and may excuse the permittee from that obligation. Further, depending on site circumstances, the RE may determine that a large galvanized steel roof is the probable cause of a zinc exceedance, and that painting the roof to retard the discharge of zinc is an a`nj sU tifed2andFdisp or portionte-.expense, or-is•otherwise'inequitable. Alternatively,;and at the other end_ofthe spectrum, the RE may direct the permittee to instal l.a.,bioretention'celNo remove;zinc_from.thestormwateridischarge: Note however, that while the RE may collapse the Tier 2-Tier 3 sequence upon his or her determ ination that it is appropriate, the RE retains the authority to instruct the permittee to step through the Tier 2 and Tier 3 sequence as provided in the permit text without modification by the RE. Authorily and Delezation: The authority for DEMLR to take these monitoring -related actions in Tier 2 and/or Tier 3 is in 15A NCAC 21.1 .01 14(b), which allows modifications of the monitoring program contained in the permit without public notice and other procedural requirements as the issuance of permits. The delegation to DEMLR REs to approve and advise changes in monitoring for individual permittees covered under NPDES General Permits was granted in the August 1, 2013 Memorandum to the Land Quality Section regarding Signature Authority for Stormwater Related Program Areas. The DEMLR Director delegates authority to the Regional Engineers "to waive (temporarily) the monthly DMR/monitoring reporting requirement" (Sampling Action #49).

General Permit No: NCG030000; COC No: NCG030543 Buncombe County Dear Mr. Bowman: In response to your request for Regulatory Relief, NCDENR-Land Quality Section staff conducted a site inspection on January 14, 2013. The primary goal of the inspection was to evaluate the drainage to outfall 006 and to insure that there are no illicit discharges at your facility. At the time of this inspection the facility was found to be in compliance with permit NCG030543 and no illicit discharges were discovered. Monthly monitoring has been triggered by two consecutive exceedances of the zinc and copper benchmarks at your facility. Please keep in mind that benchmark exceedances are NOT limit violations or violations of permit conditions; however, you are obligated to follow the tiered response actions outlined in your permit. Unison Engine Components, Inc. has been following the tiered response actions and therefore is in compliance with the permit. Based on your materials inventory and certification that industrial activities at Unison Engine Components pose little to no potential for release of copper and zinc into stormwater we are granting regulatory relief in the form of a collapsed Tier 2 — Tier 3 response. Upon receipt of this letter, Unison Engine Components, Inc. may resume the permit specified semiannual analytical monitoring for the remainder of your current permit.

The primary goal of the inspection was to evaluate the drainage to Outfalls B, C, D, and I and to insure that there are no illicit discharges at your facility. At the time of this inspection the facility was found to be in compliance with permit NCG030070 and no illicit discharges were discovered. Monthly monitoring has been triggered by two consecutive exceedances of the zinc (Outfalls B, D, C, and 1) and copper benchmarks (Outfall C) at your facility. Please keep in mind that benchmark exceedances are NOT limit violations or violations of permit conditions; however, you are obligated to follow the tiered response actions outlined in your permit. Baldor Electric Company has been following the tiered response actions and therefore is in compliance with the permit. As part of tiered response, Baldor has initiated robust housekeeping actions that appear to have addressed some of the exposures (reference January 24, 2014 letter from you). An additional air control device is planned for the Babbitt Room in 2014 to address potential zinc exposures to stormwater as monitored in Outfall D. Based on this, your materials inventory review, and certification that industrial activities at Baldor pose little to no potential for release of copper and zinc into stormwater, with the exception of the Babbitt Room Zn-CI process, we are granting regulatory relief in the form of a collapsed Tier 2 — Tier 3 response for Outfalls B, C, and I for the copper and zinc benchmarks only, for the remainder of this permit, set to expire on October 31, 2017.

Other Information PART IV DEFINITIONS a Permit No. NCGO30000 PART I - INTRODUCTION SECTION A: GENERAL PERMIT COVERAGE All persons desiring to have Facilities covered by this General Permit must register with the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) by the filing of a Notice of Intent (NOI) and applicable fees. The N01 shall be submitted and a certificate of coverage issued prior to any point source discharge of stormwater associated with industrial activity to the surface waters of the state. Any owner or operator not wishing to be covered or limited by this General Permit may make application for an individual NPDES permit in accordance with NPDES procedures in 15A NCAC 2H .0100, stating the reasons supporting the request. Any application for an individual permit should be made at least 180 days prior to commencement of discharge. This General Permit does not cover activities or discharges covered by an individual NPDES permit until the individual permit has expired or has been revoked. Any person conducting an activity covered by an individual permit but which could be covered by this General Permit may request that the individual permit be revoked and coverage under this General Permit be provided. If industrial materials and activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described in 40 CFR §122.26(g), the facility may qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES stormwater discharge permit requirements. Any owner or operator wishing to obtain a No Exposure Exclusion must submit a No Exposure Certification Notice of Intent (NO]) form to the Division; must receive approval by the Division; must maintain no exposure conditions unless authorized to discharge under a valid NPDES stormwater permit; and must recertify the No Exposure Exclusion annually. Any facility may apply for new or continued coverage under this permit until a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for pollutants for stormwater is established. A TMDL sets a pollutant -loading limit that affects a watershed, or portion of watershed, draining to a specific impaired water. For discharges to watersheds affected by a TMDL, coverage under this permit may depend on the facility demonstrating it does not have reasonable potential to violate applicable water quality standards for those pollutants as a result of discharges. if DWQ determines that discharges have reasonable potential to cause water quality standard violations, the facility shall apply for an individual permit 180 days prior to the expiration date of this General Permit. Once that individual permit is effective, the facility will no longer have coverage under this General Permit. Note that the permittee must identify impaired waters (scheduled for TMDL development) and waters already subject to a TMDL in the Site Overview, as outlined in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, Part II, Section A. During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater associated with industrial activity. Such discharges shall be controlled, limited and monitored as specified in this permit. Part I Page 1 of 2 Permit No. NCG030000 SECTION B: PERMITTED ACTIVITIES Until coverage under this permit expires or is modified or revoked, the permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater to the surface waters of North Carolina, or to a separate storm sewer system, which has been adequately treated and managed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this General Permit. 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, The discharges allowed by this General Permit shall not cause or contribute to violations of Water Quality Standards. Discharges authorized by this permit and site operations must meet applicable wetland standards, as recorded in 15A NCAC 213.0230 and .0231, and water quality certification requirements as outlined in 15A NCAC 21-1.0500. This permit does not relieve the permittee's responsibility for compliance with any other applicable federal, state, or local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order, or decree. Part I Page 2 of 2 Permit No. NCG030000 PART 11— MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR PERMITTED DISCHARGES SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN The permittee shall develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). The SPPP shall be maintained on site unless exempted from this requirement by the Division. The SPPP is public information in accordance with Part III, Standard Conditions, Section E, paragraph 3 of this permit. The SPPP shall include, at a minimum, the following items: 1. Site Overview. The Site Overview shall provide a description of the physical facility and the potential pollutant sources that may be expected to contribute to contamination of stormwater discharges. The Site Overview shall contain the following: (a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle map or appropriately drafted equivalent map), showing the facility's location in relation to transportation routes and surface waters; the name of the receiving waters to which the stormwater outfalls discharge, or if the discharge is to a municipal separate storm sewer system, the name of the municipality and the ultimate receiving waters; and accurate latitude and longitude of the points of stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity. The general location map (or alternatively the site map) shall identify whether any receiving waters are impaired (on the state's 303(d) list of impaired waters) or if the site is located in a watershed for which a TMDL has been established, and what the parameters of concern are. (b) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities, outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and waste disposal practices. A narrative description of the potential pollutants that could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall. (c) A site map drawn at a scale sufficient to clearly depict: the site property boundary; the stormwater discharge outfalls; all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, - industrial activity areas (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads); site topography and finished grade; all drainage features and structures, drainage area boundaries and total contributing area for each outfall; direction of flow in each drainage area; industrial activities occurring in each drainage area; -buildings; stormwater Best Management Practices (BM Ps); and impervious surfaces. The site map must indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious, and the site map must include a graphic scale indication and north arrow. (d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants during the previous three (3) years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts. (e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non- stormwater discharges. The permittee shall re -certify annually that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. The certification statement will be signed in accordance with the requirements found in Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3. Part If Page 1 of 10 Permit No. NCG030000 2. Stormwater Management Strategy. The Stormwater Management Strategy shall contain a narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or minimize the Stormwater exposure of significant materials, including structural and nonstructural measures. The Stormwater Management Strategy, at a minimum, shall incorporate the following: (a) Feasibility Study. An annual review of the technical and economic feasibility of changing the methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure of materials and processes to rainfall and run-on flows. Wherever practical, the permittee shall prevent exposure of all storage areas, material handling operations, and manufacturing or fueling operations. In areas where elimination of exposure is not practical, this review shall document the feasibility of diverting the stormwater run-on away from areas of potential contamination. (b) Secondary Containment Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is required for: bulk storagC j)f liquid materials-jgcluding petroleum products: storage in any amount of Section 313 of Title II I of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act fSARA) water priority chCrnicals; and storage in any amount of hazardous substancesin order to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. A table or summary of all such tanks and stored materials and their associated secondary containment areas shall be maintained. If the secondary containment devices are connected to stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices which shall be secured closed with a locking mechanism. Any stormwater that accumulates in the containment area shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens, and dry weather flow, prior to release of the accumulated Stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be uncontaminated by any material. Records documenting the individual making the observation, the description of the accumulated stormwater, and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a period of five (5) years. (c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management Practices (BMPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs shall be based on the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and on data collected through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually. 3. Spill Prevention and Response Procedures. The Spill Prevention and Response Procedures (SPRP) shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials inventory of the facility. Facility personnel responsible for implementing the SPRP shall be identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and dated by each individual acknowledging their responsibilities for the plan. A responsible person shall be on site at all times during facility operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or exposure of materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP must be site stormwater specific. Therefore, an oil Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure plan (SPCC) may be a component of the SPRP, but may not be sufficient to completely address the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may be incorporated by reference into the SPRP. Part II Page 2 of 10 Permit No. NCG030000 4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance and good housekeeping program shall be developed and implemented. The program shall address all stormwater control systems (if applicable), stormwater discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial activity areas (including material storage areas, material handling areas, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads), all drainage features and structures, and existing structural BMPs. The program shall establish schedules of inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping activities of stormwater control systems, as well as facility equipment, facility areas, and facility systems that present a potential for stormwater exposure or stormwater pollution where not already addressed under another element of the SPPP. Inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program. Timely compliance with the established schedules for inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping shall be recorded and maintained in the SPPP. Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur as part of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a minimum on a semi- annual schedule, once during the first half of the year (January to June), and once during the second half (July to December), with at least 60 days separating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently than semi-annually). These facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring at the outfalls required in Part Il B, C, and D of this permit. 6. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill response and cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. The facility personnel responsible for implementing the training shall be identified, and their annual training shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained. 7. Responsible Party. The SPPP shall identify a specific person(s) or position(s) responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision of the SPPP. Responsibilities for all components of the SPPP shall be documented and position assignments provided. 8. SPPP Amendment and Annual Update. The permittee shall amend the SPPP whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, site drainage, maintenance, or configuration of the physical features which may have a significant effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of the SPPP shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. The annual update shall include: (a) an updated list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous three (3) years, or the notation that no spills have occurred (element of the Site Overview); (b) a written re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges (element of the Site Overview); (c) a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the on -site stormwater BMPs (BMP Summary element of the Stormwater Management Strategy). (d) a statement that annual training requirements were met in the year past; (e) a review and comparison ofsample analytical data to benchmark values (if applicable) over the past year, including a discussion about Tiered Response status. The permittee shall use the Division's Annual Summary Data Monitoring Report (DMR) form, available from the Stormwater Permitting Unit's website (See `Monitoring Forms' here: httpf /portal.ncdenr.org//web/M1ws/su/n esswl. Part II Page 3 of 10 Permit No. NCG030000 The Director may notify the permittee when the SPPP does not meet one or more of the minimum requirements of the permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee shall submit a time schedule to the Director for modifying the SPPP to meet minimum requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with Part 111, Standard Conditions, Section 8, Paragraph 3) to the Director that the changes have been made. 9. SPPP Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and all appropriate BMPs to prevent contaminants from entering surface waters via Stormwater. Implementation of the SPPP shall include documentation of all monitoring, measurements, inspections, maintenance activities, and training provided to employees, including the log of the sampling data and of actions taken to implement BM Ps associated with the industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance activities. Such documentation shall be kept on -site for a period of five (5) years and made available to the Director or the Director's authorized representative immediately upon request. 10, Solvent Management Plan. Facilities that implement a Solvent Management Plan may so certify, and the requirement for Total Toxic Organics (TTO) monitoring in Part II, Section B. may be waived. The Solvent Management Plan shall include: (a) an annually updated and quantified inventory of the total toxic organic compounds present on site during the previous three years; (b) a narrative description of the in -plant locations and uses of the toxic organic compounds, the method of disposal including quantities disposed on- and off -site; (c) the management procedures and engineering measures for assuring that toxic organics do not spill or leak into stormwater. DWQ may at its discretion require submittal, review, and approval of the Solvent Management Plan as a condition of continuing the TTO sampling waiver. For those facilities electing to employ the TTO sampling waiver, the permittee shall include the following signed certification statement on each -discharge monitoring report: "Based upon my inquiry of the person or persons directly responsible for managing compliance with the permit monitoring requirementfor total toxic organics (TTO),1 certify that to the best of my knowledge and belief, no leak, spill or dumping of concentrated toxic organics into the stormwater or onto areas which are exposed to rainfall or stormwater runoff has occurred since filing the last discharge monitoring report 1 further certify that this facility is implementing all the provisions of the Solvent Management Plan included in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan." Part 11 Page 4 of 10 Permit No. NCG030000 SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1. All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must be sampled (See Definitions). A measurable storm event is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the permitted site outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours prior. The 72-hour storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a shorter interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and the permittee obtains approval from the local DWQ Regional Office.

A copy of the letter granting ROS shall be kept on site, 4 Total Toxic Organics sampling is applicable only for those facilities which perform metal finishing operations, manufacture semiconductors, manufacture electronic crystals, or manufacture cathode ray tubes. For purposes of this permit the definition of Total Toxic Organics is that definition contained in the EPA Effluent Guidelines for the facility subject to the requirement to sample (for metal finishing use the definition as found in 40 CFR 433.11; for semiconductor manufacture use the definition as found in 40 CFR 469.12; for electronic crystal manufacture use the definition as found in 40 CFR 469.22; and for cathode ray tube manufacture use the definition found in 40 CFR 469.31.) 5 For each sampled measureable storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge or local rain gauge reading must be recorded. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain gauge reading may be substituted for an on -site reading. The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified below in Table 2, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection (see Adverse Weather in Definitions). A minimum of 60 clays must separate Period 1 and Period 2 sample dates, unless monthly monitoring has been instituted as part of other requirements of this permit. Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and recorded on the DMR. The permittee must report the results from each sample taken within the monitoring period {see Part Ill, Section E). Part llPage 5of10 C-I -4.

Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period. "No discharge" from an outfall or inability to collect a sample because of adverse weather conditions during a monitoring period, for example does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is properly reported. The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3, The benchmark values in Table 3 are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for the implementation of the permittee's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. See below the descriptions of Tier One, Tier Two, and Tier Three response actions. In the event that DWQ releases the permittee from continued monthly monitoring under Tier Three, DWQ's release letter remains in effect through the subsequent reissuance of this permit, unless the release letter provides for other conditions or duration.

Part 11 Page 6 of 10 Permit No_ NCG030000 Tier One If: The first valid sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any I parameter at anv outfall: 1 Then: The permittee shall: 1. Conduct a stormwater management inspection of the facility within two weeks of receiving sampling results. 2. Identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedance. 3. Identify potential and select the specific: source controls, operational controls, or physical improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern, and/or to bring concentrations within the benchmark range. 4. Implement the selected actions within two months of the inspection. 5. Record each instance of a Tier One response in the SPPP. Include the date and value of the benchmark exceedence, the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the selected actions, and the date the selected actions were implemented. Tier Two If: During the term of this permit, the first valid sampling results from two consecutive monitoring periods are above the benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific Then: The permittee shall: 1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier One. 2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring for all parameters. Conduct monthly monitoring at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples. Monthly (analytical and qualitative) monitoring shall continue until three consecutive sample results are below the benchmark values or within benchmark range. 3. Submit a monthly monitoring report indicating "No Flow" if no discharge occurs during the sampling period. 4. Benchmark exceedances for a different parameter separately trigger a tiered response. 5. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response and monitoring results in the SPPP. Tier Three During the term of this permit, if the first valid sampling results required for the permit monitoring periods exceed the benchmark value, or are outside the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at any specific outfall on four Occasions, the permittee shall notify the DWQ Regional Office Supervisor in writing within 30 days of receipt of the fourth analytical results. DWQ may but is not limited to: • require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease monitoring frequency for some or all parameters; • rescind coverage under the General Permit, and require that the permittee apply for an individual stormwater discharge permit; • require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls; • require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures; • require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize impacts on receiving waters; or • require thepermittee implement site modifications to qualify for the No Exposure Exclusion. Part 11 Page 7 of 10 =:2 Permit No. NCG030000 SECTION C: ON -SITE VEHICLE AND EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Facilities that have any vehicle maintenance activity occurring on -site which uses more than 55 gallons of new motor oil and/or hydraulic oil per month when averaged over the calendar year shall perform analytical monitoring as specified below in Table 4. All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at all stormwater discharge outfalls (SDOs) that discharge stormwater runoff from vehicle and equipment maintenance areas, and in accordance with the schedule presented in Table 2 (Section B).

An on -site or local rain gauge reading must be recorded. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain gauge reading may be substituted for an on -site reading. Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period, as provided in Part II Section B, Monitoring results shall be compared to the benchmark values in Table S. The benchmark values in Table 5 are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for the permittee's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). Exceedances of benchmark values require the permtttee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs), as provided in Part 11 Section B.

The permittee must continue qualitative monitoring throughout the permit renewal process, 2 Monitoring Location: Qualitative monitoring shall be performed at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) regardless of representative outfall status. A minimum of 60 days must separate monitoring dates, unless additional sampling has been instituted as part of other analytical monitoring requirements in this permit. In the event an atypical condition is noted at a stormwater discharge outfall, the permittee shall document the suspected cause of the condition and any actions taken in response to the discovery. This documentation shall be maintained with the SPPP. Part 11 Page 9 of 10 Permit No. NCG030000 if the permittee's qualitative monitoring indicates that existing stormwater BMPs are ineffective, or that significant stormwater contamination is present, the permittee shall investigate potential causes, evaluate the feasibility of corrective actions, and implement those corrective actions within 60 days, per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below. A written record of the permittee's investigation, evaluation, and response actions shall he kept in the SPPP. ualitative Monito Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluating the effectiveness of th perjittee J implenetaion of the SPPP, and for assessing new sources of stormwater pollution, and for prompting the permittee's response to pollution.

General Stormwater Permits NCG030000 and NCG090000 I Technical Bulletin for NCG030000 and NCGO90000 Last Revised 10/25/2012 What is reaulated by these two General Permits? These two General Permits regulate stormwater discharges from two groups of industrial manufacturing ac- tivities: ✓NCG030000 (NCG03) for metal fabrication and metal finishing businesses ✓NCGO90000 (NCG09) for the manufacture of paints, varnishes, and allied products What does my permit require me to do? -,'Develop and implement a written Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) (Part 1l, Section A). ✓Provide secondary containment for bulk storage of liquid materials (Part 11, Section A). ✓Conduct semi-annual self -monitoring of the pollutant content in stormwater discharges, and report the results to DWQ (Part 11, Sections B and C). ✓Conduct semi-annual visual inspections of stormwater pollutant sources, control measures, conveyances, and out - falls (Part 11, Sections A and D). ,I Respond to monitoring results that exceed the numerical benchmarks with management actions to reduce the level of pollutants in the stormwater discharges. The numerical benchmarks are considered as 'action level's.' Why -,'The two General Permits seek to reduce industrial pollution in rainfall runoff from manufacturing businesses by requiring site managers to be aware of, and control, the potential for polluted runoff. ✓ Federal and state laws and regulations require the control of industrial pollution in stormwater runoff. ✓Those laws and regulations reflect the public's support for providing for clean natural waters in our state and nation. What has changed since the last renewals in 2007? Common changes to both General Permits: • The required content of the SPPP has been expanded slightly and clarified in minor ways in several paragraphs. The permittee may now sample discharges from any meosureable storm event, rather than from a representative event. This change should make it easier to obtain a sample from a qualifying rain event. . The permit text now clarifies that failure to sample due to adverse weather, or due to no discharge during the nor- mal monitoring period, may be excused. However, the permits now require additional monthly monitoring for un- excused failures to monitor. . Vehicle Maintenance Areas (VMA) shall be monitored for Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) rather than Oil & Grease (O&G). . VMA monitoring is now triggered by the total oil usage for motor oil plus hydraulic oil. The trigger remains at a total of 55 gallons per month, average. . A lower T55 benchmark of 50 mg/L applies for discharges to especially protected water classifications. Significant chances specific to the diterent General Permits . For NCG03: Analytical monitoring for copper and zinc have been added to allow more facilities to qualify for cover- age under this General Permit. . For NCG09: Monitoring results must be reported in mg/L rather than ug/L; monitoring results may not be reported as 'non -detect', or 'below detection limit', or other similar notations, but instead must indicate the numerical value of the reporting or detection limit of the test procedure employed. I PAGE TECHNICAL BULLETIN FOR N.C. GENERAL STORMWATER PERMITS NCG030000 AND NC6090000 LAST REV. 1412SMI I Frequently Asked Questions Do 1 have to monitor all outfalls? Yes. However, you may request ROS (Representative Outfall Status). If ROS is approved, this status allows analytical monitoring at fewer outfalls. To request ROS, submit a ROS Request Form SWU- ROS (from our website) to the DWQ Regional Office. What if I can't collect a storm - water discharge in 30 minutes? When distances separate multiple out - falls and preclude collection within 30 minutes of each discharge event, begin collection within 30 minutes and then continue until all outfalls are sampled. Documentation must be kept in the SPPP. Can I take more samples than is required by my permit? Yes. The permittee may take multiple samples at any time while under permit coverage. The permittee may find the extra sampling useful to quickly identify causes of benchmark exceedances. All sampling for the permit parameters must be reported to DWQ on the DMR forms. What if 1 can't sample because of bad weather? Adverse weather is dangerous or it may limit access for sampling personnel. Your documentation of adverse weather and the reasons for not sampling must be included in your SPPP. A substitute sample may be taken during the next qualifying storm event. What if I don't address visual monitoring problems? If you do not respond to problems seen in visual monitoring, DWQ may require that you increase the visual monitoring frequency, apply for an individual per- mit, implement in -stream monitoring, install or modify structural stormwater controls, or implement other controls. What if I forget to monitor? DWQ may require monthly monitoring for a specified time period. Why did you replace Oil & Grease with TPH in VM areas? The TPH test only targets chemicals de- rived from crude oil. The Oil & Grease (O&G) test recovers fats from animal & vegetable sources and chemicals from crude oil. Because TPH is more specific, it is a better parameter for vehicle main- tenance areas. The TPH method we are Specifying is EPA 1664A (SGT-HEM). It is important to note that DWQ is not speci- fying the more expensive Gas Chromato- graph (GC) TPH method. DWQ found lab costs for EPA 1664A (SGT-HEM) to be comparable to O&G test costs. To test these parameters in stormwater, labs must perform this test in accordance with EPA procedures, but do not need to be certified. Note: A lower benchmark applies for TPH: 15 mg/1(not 30 mg/1). Why are there two benchmark values for TSS? The 100 mg/L benchmark applies to most rivers, lakes, and creeks in North Carolina. However, some other waters must receive special protection under North Carolina water quality rules, and in these two permits discharges to them are subject to the more protective benchmark of 50 mg/L. Those waters classified as Trout Waters, High Quality Waters, Outstanding Resource Waters, and Primary Nursery Areas receive this extra protection in these permits. Where and when do I send the monitoring reports? See your permit text, Part I!!, section E. Who can help me? Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Offices: Must I use a North Carolina certified laboratory? No. North Carolina water quality rules do not require that analyses of storm - water be accomplished by a certified facility. Please note however, federal rules at 40CFR136 do require that test- ing for these two permits be by EPA - approved lab methods. Analysis by a North Carolina certified lab is often the easiest way to insure compliance with federal rules. Note that pH is a special case, and must be measured within 15 minutes of the sample recovery. You must ei- ther train on -site staff to conduct pH testing, or contract with commercial services to test pH in accordance with EPA field testing methods. Must a P. E. sign and stamp my SPPP? No. North Carolina water quality rules do not require that the SPPP be the work product of a North Carolina P.E. Who inspects me, and for what? Staff from the DWQ Regional Offices shown below will inspect your facility. They will typically ask to see your SPPP and will check to see if it is complete and up to date. They will typically ask to see your recent monitoring results. They will typically tour the facility with a focus on the stormwater discharge outfalls and on your general housekeeping as a way to assess the potential for polluted storm - water discharges. Our staff will always follow up their Compliance Evaluation Inspection with a summary letter to you, restating their findings and, if necessary indicating whether enforcement action will be considered in response to those findings.

The North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) announced in selected newspapers across the state on or about September 1, 2012 that the draft of the proposed renewal General Permit would be posted on our website for public comment. DWQ also ran this notice in the North Carolina Register the same month; on the Stormwater Permitting Unit website in September 2012; as well as in renewal letters to all affected permittees in the spring of 2012. DWQ revises and reissues NPDES stormwater General Permits on a five-year schedule. Every five years we review collected analytical data from the previous five-year term of the permits; evaluate identified compliance problems and problems in our enforcement of the permits; and seek to improve the effectiveness of the permits as stormwater management tools for the permittees. The draft NCG030000 General Permit and Fact Sheet were posted to the Stormwater Permitting Unit's website on September 1, 2012. The public comment period was scheduled to close on October 1, 2012 and was extended to October 8th as per requests from the regulated community, and to compensate for the delay in some newspaper notice publish dates. In addition, the Division received public comments about proposed draft general permits for other industrial sectors expiring at the same time, and some of those comments have been addressed in the final NCG030000 permit for program consistency. EPA Region IV staff in Atlanta was sent the draft General Permit on September 4, 2012. On September 17, 2012, EPA Region IV responded that the agency concurred with the draft permit, and had no comments on it. EPA's additional review and approval would be necessary if the proposed final General Permit incorporated significant changes from the draft, or if significant public comments objecting to the permit were received. DWQ concluded that neither of these criteria was met and therefore, further EPA review is not required. DWQ prepared this summary document both for those that submitted written comments on draft General Permit, as well as for other interested parties. This document will be posted on our website for public access. Comments and Responses DWQ received one written comment on the draft General Permit NCG030000 during the announced public comment period. The commenter noted the inadvertent omission of part of Page 2 of 2 Response to Comments for NCG03 October 30, 2012 Footnote 4 to Table 1. That accidentally omitted text identified the subsectors of the metal fabrication industry that are required to conduct TTO testing. DWQ restored the original text from the previous issuance of NCG03, so that the 2012 version of the General Permit remains consistent with the previous final version. This revision represents no change from the previous final version of the permit. Summary of other chanties from the draft General Permit DWQ made additional changes to the draft permit before finalizing it. These changes were minor, and DWQ concluded that additional notice and/or EPA review was not necessary. Several of the suggested changes were based on public comments on the other General Permits also being renewed this year. Some of these minor changes included: 1. Part II, Section A (Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan), 2(b): Added language clarifying that petroleum products are subject to the secondary containment requirements. 2. Part II, paragraph following Tables 2 and 4: Text modified to include option for the Division to require monthly monitoring because of a failure to monitor semi-annually (rather than automatically requiring monthly monitoring upon failure to monitor). Also, clarification that adverse weather conditions preventing sample collection does not constitute a failure to monitor. 3. Part II, second paragraph following Table 2: Added clarification that DWQ's release of a permittee from Tier 2 monthly monitoring remains in effect through subsequent renewals unless other conditions are specified. 4. Part II, Table 3: Modified Footnote 1 to allow precipitation pH (if lower than 6 s.u.) as the lower benchmark value. Conclusion DWQ's overall intent in proposing changes to the General Permit was to provide permit requirements that will encourage industrial permittees to respond with prompt corrective action to the discovery of pollutant discharges in excess of the benchmark values. DWQ incorporated the single comment on the proposed draft General Permit NCG030000 as well as comments regarding other proposed general permits, as appropriate, and as indicated above.

COD <- 120 mg/I, T55 <= 100 mg/l, pH 6 -4 1 What do they have to do? f � ♦ Part A. of the permit requires every facility to have an updated Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. ♦ Part II.B. requires some facilities to sample runoff for pH and have a lab run TSS, and COD twice per year. (Determining who must is the kicker for us inspectors!) ♦ Part II.C. requires every facility to conduct visual monitoring twice per year. A record of those monitoring results must be kept in the SP3, on site, ♦ Part II.D. requires some facilities with vehicle maintenance areas to sample the stormwater runoff (from that activity) twice per year for pH, oil and grease, and TSS and to report those results to DWQ. Oddly, COD is dropped but is still required at the other outfalls. North Carolina's Stormwater Permit NCG210000 for Timber Products SIC You will face several challenging judgment tails not encountered in the other NCG permits. Does the site need this permit? . Are they required to do Analytical Monitoring? What size piles are there? >25' in any direction or smaller piles that total 25' in a given watershed? ■ If they avoid sampling, did they document that piles moved in 7 days or less? How? 2 Figuring What They Have To Do ♦ So, some facilities must sample twice per year. You must judge which facilities must analyze! Determine if they are required to have the permit; and If they have piles of sawdust, bark chips, wood chips, mulch chips, boiler fuel chips, or similar materials on site; and If the materials are on site for longer than 7 days*; and If the size of the pile (or the combination of piles in one subdrainage arehas a maximum dimension greater than 25 ft.; Then they must sample, analyze, and report results twice per year far pH, TSS, and COD. ♦ *If a facility seeks to opt out of the twice -per -year monitoring requirement by maintaining at all times a chips or sawdust inventory less than seven days old, the facility must maintain records establishing the 7-day maximum on site. This documentation is undefined at this time. However, DWQ inspectors will inspect the records. Stormwater Permit NCG210000 Timber Products So we will be looking at piles of all kinds! 3 Stormwater Permit NCG210000 Timber Products Stormwater Permit NCG210000 Timber Products What Do I Look For? + Does the site need this permit? (is there a point -source discharge of stormwater? . Some sites may not have a discharge (rare). . Some sites may not have a point -source discharge. (May be sheet flow) . Some may capture and recycle the water, in which case they come under the auspices of Aquifer Protection Section. *Do they think they have to do Analytical Monitoring? The Timber Products stormwater ♦ What comes into play if they recycle runoff? They need a permit from Aquifer Protection, not this one. ♦ Can they simply divide a large pile into smaller piles? . Yes, but it won't help if they all run to the same outfall and the dimensions total >= 25' • What if I discover they have a wet decking operation? . They need to apply for an NPDES wastewater discharge permit. . If wet deck runoff combines with rainwater, is it feasible to separate them and treat just the wastewater? E Summary of ways they can reduce their regulatory burden Several options are available, for some sites. ♦ No permit if there is no stormwater discharge at all or if it is just sheet flow f Facilities that can show that materials are not exposed to rainfall can apply for the No Exposure Exclusion from Permitting. No exposure conditions must be maintained. Facilities that can convert from exposed piles to trucks or bins may be able to attain no exposure, or may be able to avoid monitoring. Summary of ways they can reduce their regulatory burden Several options are available, for some sites. ♦ Facilities with multiple monitoring points can apply to the Regional Offices for Representative Outfall Status, and can reduce the required number of outfalls to be monitored. Visual monitoring of all outfalls still applies. ♦ Facilities that can manage inventory so that no exposed chips or sawdust remain on site for longer than 7 days can avoid the monitoring requirements. Substantiating records are required. • Facilities that can manage exposed inventory (i.e. manage pile sizes) in a given outfall area to below the 25' threshold can avoid the monitoring costs. 0 If they have to sample -- • Did they purchase and install a rain gauge? ♦ Contract with a North Carolina water lab to run the required analyses? ♦ Has the lab trained selected on -site staff on taking a stormwater sample? In order to measure field p , did they purchase a pH meter plus buffer solutions, and have the lab train their staff in its use? ♦ Check the chain of custody. ♦ Do the lab results meet the benchmark maximums? ♦ If any of the lab results are in excess of the permit benchmark values, did they initiate Tier 1 or Tier 2 actions as per instructions in the permit text? See the new reporting form on the SWPU Internet site. SWU-245NCG210000DMR_Rev2008b. pdf If they have to sample -- *Tier f requires these management response actions: ♦ Within two weeks inspect the facility for the cause of the exceedence. • Select specific controls or improvements to remedy the exceedence. ♦ Within two months implement the selected controls or improvements. • Keep a written record of their Tier 1 response actions in the SPPP. If they have to sample -- *Tier Z i$ activated upon two consecutive exceeUces. Execute these response actions: • Repeat all the Tier 1 response actions. Essentially, try again. ♦ Immediately institute monthly monitoring until three consecutive tests are below the benchmarks. • Keep a written record of their Tier 2 response actions in the SPPP. • Have the lab retrain selected on -site staff on taking a storm water sample and measuring field pH. M. The Big Picture - revisited If you determine that pollution is leaving the site, that is wastewater and not stormwater. They need to investigate the following: A. Recycle B. Separate stormwater from wastewater C. Treat wastewater to a level acceptable to release The Big Picture - continued If benchmarks are being exceeded and Tier 1 or Tier 2 steps have not brought compliance, they need a permit to either A. Recycle with a closed loop system, or one that discharges & meets limits B. Treat wastewater to a level acceptable to release A ����'. ��. � 6-� c� .y: .. �� ,/ , ,y.�-ii � ?�� ' ;, `�' sX Y �- � .
