NPDES STORMWATER PERMIT NCG060286
Wake County
On November 18, 2014, Dave Parnell, of the Raleigh Regional Office of the North Carolina
Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (DEMLR), conducted a compliance evaluation
inspection (CEI) at the above referenced facility. The site lies in the watershed of an unnamed
tributary (UT) to Crabtree Creek, Class C, NSW waters, which lies in the Neuse River Basin.
The following observations were noted during the NCG060286 DEMLR inspection:
This facility is a mass produced cracker baking and packaging facility, which does not conduct
vehicle maintenance on site. Thank you for your assistance, as well as the assistance of Stacy
Hardy and Joseph Atkinson, during the inspection. It was appreciated. The inspection began
in a conference room, where a thorough review of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan;
as well as, the qualitative and analytical monitoring results, was conducted. All aspects of the
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan are being implemented. Employee training was well
documented, as were significant spills (0) which occurred during the last three years.
Analytical and Qualitative monitoring data were reviewed and found to be in order and
compliant with the NPDES Stormwater Permit. The SPPP is reviewed and updated annually.
Following the monitoring data review, the Stormwater Discharge Outfalls (SDO) were
observed. You and your staff are knowledgeable, with respect to the sample sites at all of the
four SDO. It was noted that sampling is conducted by your consultant, who was not present
during this CEI.

In response to your renewal application for continued coverage under stormwater General Permit NCG060000
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 NCGO60000
• 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

Some of the changes include:
Part II:
• Section A: The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) section, if applicable, has been updated
to the most current language of our permits. 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 6, C: A lower TSS benchmark of 50 mg/1 for HQW, ORW, PNA and Tr Waters applies to these
more sensitive waters.
• Sections B, 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.
Your coverage under the General Permit is transferable only through the specific action of DWQ. This permit
does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by DENR, nor does it
relieve the permittee from responsibility for compliance with any other applicable federal, state, or local law,
rule, standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or decree. If you have any questions regarding this permit
package, please contact the Division's Stormwater Permitting Unit at (919) 807-6300.

Thanks for the benchmark exceedance notification which prompted your Tier 3 response and your assessment of the
bench mark exceedance issue at your facility located at One Quality Lane in Cary, NC. Your assessment of the issue
seems sound and I agree with your course of action. Please contact me once the November sample has been taken and
results are back so we can discuss the results and further actions, if any, to take going forward. Your notification is
documented and I will include it in the file for your NCG060286 permit.

Thad,
Per our phone conversation, an exceedance of the benchmark value for COD was detected in a sample from one of the
outfalls (SW01) during our recent semi-annual sampling event on October 9, 2017. The benchmark value for COD has
been exceeded four times at this outfall throughout the permit term prompting a Tier 3 response. This email serves as
completing the notification requirement for the Tier 3 response. As discussed, we believe we have identified the source
of the COD benchmark value exceedance as HVAC condensate drains that vent production operations at the
facility. Recently, these drains have been hard -piped to the sanitary sewer. The COD exceedance appears to be
attributed to residual biological growth in the flow path to the outfall that is attributed to the HVAC condensate
formerly discharged to this outfall. Kellogg's proposes to clean the outfall and flow path of residual biological growth
and resample the outfall for COD in November 2017. You will be copied on the DMR submittal with the November 2017
results. If the COD result is below the benchmark value, we propose to resume semi-annual monitoring. Please respond
with receipt of this email and approval of the proposed approach. Please contact me with any questions.
Best regards,
Greg
