Sullins, Director Division of Water Quality o MCD L1lU8, Your assistance on March 31, 2008 when I carried out a stormwater inspection was appreciated. Please see the attached inspection checklist for comments. You provided an updated Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SP3). A few components need to be added: 1) an area USGS map with the latitude and longitude of the discharge point indicated, as well as the name of the receiving stream (see that paragraph in the permit for details and the example attached to this letter), 2) a paragraph outlining an Inspection Program for the Facility, 3) insertion of the employee training list and 4) monitoring results, both Quantitative and Qualitative (see attached forms). A tour of the grounds around Newton Instruments during a steady rain showed that no potential pollutants threatened stormwater quality.

Sullins, Director Division of Water Quality A stormwater inspection was carried out by Mr. Myrl Nisely of the Raleigh Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality and Mr. Robert Patterson of the Central Office on October 9, 2007. This was the first time DWQ had inspected Newton Instruments. Discussion with you revealed that nearly all documentation requirements of the above permit were not being met. The inspectors reviewed with you the need for a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SP3) and the components to be included. You agreed to develop a plan within a few months. You explained that activities done under the SPCC plan for the facility had resulted in removing several potential pollutants from exposure to rainwater. Later that day you emailed Mr. Nisely to say you had located the SP3. With that as a starting point, please review existing conditions around the manufacturing facility and update the plan by December 31, 2007. Employee training by that date is strongly urged, as well. Another inspection will be planned for early January 2008. If you have any questions regarding this notice, please contact Myrl Nisely at 919-791-4200. 1 cerely, r EI/JfJ ✓ anny S th Surface ater Protection Supervisor Raleigh Regional Office xc: Central Files RRO SWP files �A Raleigh Regional Office 1628 Mail Service Center phone (919) 791-4200 Customer Service Surface Water Protection Raleigh, NC 27699-1628 tJCDE—NW facsimile (919) 571-4718 1-877-623-6748 Nmally seCarolina ADDENDUM The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program was established Linder the federal Clean Water Act and then delegated to the Division of Water Quality for implementation in North Carolina. The NPDES permitting program for stormwater discharges was established in 1990. Phase I focuses on site and operations planning to reduce pollutant sources. Through the+NPDES`permitting program industrial facilities that fall into one of the subject ten categories-are''required to obtain permit coverage under a general permit or an individual permit, 'dep—crfdinfg`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 (SPP.P). 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/Fonns Documents.htm Permit text, technical bulletins, discharge monitoring forms, and a Notice of Intent [which is the application of for coverage under a NPDES General Stormwater Permit] can be found at this web site. 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. That said, please see the above mentioned web site in order to obtain a copy of the permit such that you may fully comply with all the conditions therein. Failure to properly comply with conditions of the permit, like those bulleted below, constitutes violations and are subject civil penalty assessment 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 the 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 water 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 following condition requirements (you must read your entire permit to ensure full compliance): o Development and compliance with the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan o Collection, reporting, and recording of Analytical Monitoring o Collection, reporting and recording of Qualitative Monitoring o Collection, reporting and recording of Vehicle Maintenance Monitoring o Records — Visual monitoring shall be documented and records maintained at the facility along with the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. Copies of the analytical monitoring results shall also be maintained on -site. The Permittee shall retain records of all monitoring information, including all calibration and maintenance records and all original strip chart recordings for continuous monitoring instrumentation, and copies of all reports required by this general permit for a period of least 5 years for the date of the sample measurement, report or application. o Expiration — The pennittee is not authorized to discharge after the expiration date of the general permit. In order to receive automatic authorization to discharge beyond the expiration date, the permittee shall submit forms and fees as are required by the agency authorized to issue permits no later than 180-days prior to expiration date. Any permittee that has not requested renewal at least 180 days prior to expiration, or any permittee that does not have a permit after the expiration and has not requested renewal at least 180 days prior to expiration, will be subject to enforcement. Failure to renew your permit is a violation. o Transfer — The Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued pursuant to this general permit is not transferable to any person expect after notice to and approval by the Director. The Director may require modification or revocation and reissuance of the Certificate of Coverage to change the name and incorporate such other requirements as may be necessary under the Clean Water Act, The Permit is NOT transferable. o Name Change, Closure or Facility Ownership change — Permittee is required to notify the Division in writing in the event the permitted facility is sold or closed. The Division of Water Quality views changes of name or ownership as a modification that requires the Director's approval and reissuance of the permit. Name and ownership changes required you to complete a Name/ownership Change Form from the Division and mail it back to the Division of Water Quality along with all appropriate information. o Proper Operation and Maintenance is a requirement of the permit. 4 f! r W.

E., Director Division of Water Quality JUL 2 9 2002 'O Rescission of NPDES Permit t,,i >�, Newton Instrument Co. Inc. Permit Number NCG030454 Granville County Dear Mr. Brooks: It is the understanding of the Division that Newton Instrument Co. Inc. has ceased operations at the permitted site, and the property has been leased to another occupant. In accordance with this information, NPDES General Permit NCG030454 is rescinded, effectively immediately. Please be advised that this permit rescission is based wholly upon the activities which would require general permit coverage at the site have ceased or been eliminated. Division staff has not visited the site to obtain independent verification. Operating a treatment facility, discharging wastewater or discharging stormwater to waters of the State without a valid NPDES Permit will subject the responsible party to a civil penalty of up to $25,000 per day. Enforcement action will be certain for persons that have voluntarily relinquished permit coverage when, in fact, continuing permit coverage was necessary. If, in retrospect, you feel the site still requires permit coverage, you should notify this office immediately. Furthermore, if in the future you wish to again discharge to the State's surface waters, you must first apply for and receive a new NPDES Permit. If you have questions about this matter, please contact Vanessa Manuel at (919) 733-5083, extension 532 or the Water Quality staff in the Raleigh Regional Office at (919) 571-4700. Sin y, W.
