Subject: RESPONSE TO NOTICE OF VIOLATION DATED APRIL 26, 2012
NOV-2012-PC-0154
YOUNG'S AUTO CENTER AND SALVAGE
DUDLEY, WAYNE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
Dear Mr. Hodge:
This letter is in response to the Notice of Violation (NOV) issued to Young's Auto Center and
Salvage (Young's) by your office dated April 26, 2012. We have responded to the items in your
NOV in the order that they were presented. Items 2 and 3 below also serve as the "Plan of Action"
requested in the NOV.
l . Permit Status — We were under the impression that our permit had been renewed. We are in
the process of obtaining a renewal package and anticipate having the renewal into the
Permitting Unit within the next 30 days.
2. Used Oil and Antifreeze Totes The NOV references the current method of storing 300-
gallon tote containers of used oil and antifreeze as a violation of "implementation of SPPP
plan as listed in section A of the NPDES General Stormwater Permit." The general
stormwater permit (NCG 100000) requires facilities to implement best management
practices and review 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 stormwater. However, we do not_a ree that requires_us alter our current
practices if not deemed technically orb one �ically feasible. As such, Young's does not
agree that this practice is in violation of our general permit. Re ardless base n the recent
events, we are in the process of looking into alternative means of storing these materials. If
our interpretation of this Rortion of the eneraLpermit_is_in error or if there are other issues
t at we s ould address with respect to this item, please let us know.
3. Disposal Activities — The NOV references a "large pit where sludge and possibly oil was
buried". This was not a pit, but rather a bermed area that was used to contain a spill of used
oil that occurred when a tote ruptured while it was being moved. Young's has retained Mid -
Atlantic Associates, Inc. to assist us with addressing this release under the direction of the
Underground Storage Tank Section.

Areas of Stained Soil — The NOV also references at least 6 locations where it appeared
containers had been emptied onto the ground. Upon further investigation, we discovered that
several disgruntled employees (who are no longer with Young's) had emptied several totes
of wastewater in these areas. The water was generated during pressure washing of engines,
etc. and was containerized pending off -site disposal. As directed by Mr. Dumpor and Mr.
Edgerton, we have excavated the impacted material in these areas and stockpiled the soil on
site under plastic. We have also replaced the soil with clean fill and re -seeded the areas. The
stockpiled material will be taken off site for disposal within the next 30-days with the
impacted material from the tote rupture mentioned above.
We appreciate the opportunity to respond to the NOV.

Dear Mr. Young:

Subject: NOTICE OF VIOLATION
NOV-2012-PC-0154
Young's Auto Center & Salvage
Permit No. NCG 100182
Wayne County
As result of an anonymous complaint, on April 4, 2012, Mr. Samir Dumpor and Mr.
Thom Edgerton of the Division of Water -Quality inspected the Young's Auto Center & Salvage
located at 4172 US 117 S Alt. in Dudley, Wayne County, NC. Mr. Dumpor and Mr. Edgerton
met on site with Mr. Steve Wiggins, General Manager of the Young's Auto Center & Salvage
and conducted a site inspection of the subject site to determine compliance with permit
NCG 100182.
On March 3, 2006, Mr. Ricky Young was issued permit number NCG 100182 according
to G.S. 143-215.1(a) and Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code (hereby known as
NCAC) 21-1.0126 for the Young's Auto Center & Salvage facility to allow the discharge of
stormwater to the surface waters of North Carolina, namely to receiving waters designated as an
unnamed tributary to Poplar Branch, a class B-NSW water in Neuse River basin.
Mr. Dumpor and Mr. Edgerton observed the following:
The records and the file review discovered that the Permit status is "Expired". It appears
that the annual fees have been paid regularly, however the renewal of this permit was not
performed, which is a violation of the Section B. General Conditions,1, of the NPDCS
General Permit NCG0100182.

2. At three locations on this site, several approximately 300 gallons tote containers with
used oil and antifreeze has been stored in the open, waiting to be picked up for recycling.
This is a violation of implementation of SPPP plan as listed in section A of the NPDES
General Stormwater Permit.
3. Mr. Dumpor and Mr. Edgerton together with Mr. Wiggins visited the back of the site,
where the anonymous call alleged some illegal disposal activities. We discovered a large
metal container used for burning with remnants of pallets, cardboard and two plastic tote
containers to be burned (according to an employee of the Young's Auto Center and
Salvage). Mr. Dumpor and Mr. Edgerton discovered also one large pit where the sludge
and possibly oil was buried and at least 6 more locations with oily stains at the ground
where the tote containers were being emptied.
According to Oil Pollution & Hazardous Substances Control Act — Unlawful Discharge:
G.S. 143-215.83 states that it shall be unlawful, except as otherwise provided in this Part,
for any person to discharge, or cause to be discharged, oil or other hazardous substances
into or upon any waters, tidal flats, beaches, or lands within this State, or into any sewer,
surface water drain or other waters that drain into the waters of this State, regardless of
the fault of the person having control over the oil or other hazardous substances, or
regardless of whether the discharge was the result of intentional or negligent conduct,
accident or other cause..
Required Response
Accordingly, you are directed to respond to this letter in writing within 30 calendar days of
receipt of this Notice. Your response should be sent to this office at the letterhead address and
include the following:

Comment: As a standard procedure, upon arrival, a car will undergo a process of
drainage of the fluids (oil, antifreeze, sludge..), removal of batteries and mercury
switches. This process is being performed in the shop under the roof. All incidental oil
and antifreeze drainage is being collected and pumped via sump pump into the
approximately 300 gallons tote,containers. There were 3 locations on this site where
these conatiners were stored out in the open and unprotected, waiting to be picked up
for recycling.
It was also discovered that unknown quantity of sludge and/or oil has been burried in
one big pit, and some of the same fluids discharged (at least 6 locations) into the
vegetation at the back of the site.
One large metal container was found containing burned remnants of pallets , cardboard
and couple of empty old tote containers located close by, which were to be burned
according to employee of the Young's Auto Center & Salvage.

Pat,
Thanks for the confirmation of a point source discharge. Regarding the site map -
yes, that would be a very helpful thing to have (and often missing). Technically it's
not part of the NOI requirement (only the USGS or County map is listed), and in this
case because it's an existing site, they have a year (I know, a little long) to
develop their SPPP...which must include a site map with all those points on it. But
I'll be glad to request it prior to issuing the COC.

Thanks. I looked over the application and have been to the site. This one is
actually a very clean site, but they did not indicate on No. 7 the discharge
points. I know for sure that they have at least one, and I am sure others, that
leave the site by way of drainage ditches to roadside ditches. They were supposed
to be contracting with a firm to develop their PPP. No problem that we know of, go
ahead and issue the COC. (Can we ask them to provide a site plan showing all of
their drainage and possible discharge points?) Thanks. Pat ,z' 10

Hi, Pat,
We've received an NOI from Young's Auto Center - Salvage in Dudley (Wayne
Co.) for coverage under the stormwater general permit for Used Auto Parts,
NCG100000. This is an existing facility (the owner's gotten NOVs for
other sites in the Raleigh Region, so they're getting all their locations
covered). They discharge stormwater to a UT to Poplar Branch, class

Bethany,
Al asked me to look over this NOI request. 'I have not been to the
site, however, since there is no dewatering activity, flows should not
be sufficient enough to cause a problem. Also, it travels through a
swampy area before it reaches Ready Branch so hopefully there will be
no turbidity issues. Go ahead and issue the NOT. If you have
questions, do not hesitate to contact me. Pat

AG NC General Permit for Stormwater Discharge
from .Auto Wreeking & Salvage Yards
Technical Bulletin for NCG 100000 Last Revised 11/112007
What is it?
NCG100000 is a general permit allowing stormwater runoff
to be discharged from auto wrecking and salvage yards. The
stormwater permit program is administered by the Division
of Water Quality (DWQ), Stormwater Permitting Unit.
Why is this permit important?
Stormwater permits are required for many businesses that
have a potential to pollute North Carolina's streams, rivers,
and lakes. For several common industries, DWQ provides
general permits so that businesses don't have to spend extra
time and money to develop a special, individual permit. In
addition to auto wrecking and salvage yards, general permits
have been developed for industries such as mining sites,
ready -mix concrete sites, construction sites, and landfills.
Who needs it?
• Auto salvage yards (Used Auto Parts —SIC 5015) and
scrap yards (Scrap and Waste Materials— SIC 5093)
• Excludes wholesale metal waste and scrap operations (a
subset of SIC 5093; covered by a different permit, NCG20)
So remember, compliance with this
permit helps protect our lakes,
streams, rivers, and coastal waters.
You should read and comply with
the conditions ol'your permit.
NOTE: SIC = Standard Industrial
Classification

What does this permit require me to do?
Among other things, the permit.
requires the owner/operator to
do the following important items:
• Have a Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SPPP)
• Keep pollutants away from
rain water. (oils, anti -freeze,
etc.), and control runoff from
your site by Best Management •
Practices (BMPs)
• Sample stormwater runoff
during rain events •
• Submit required reports and
keep records as listed in the
permit.
Stormwater Polliaion Prevention Plan •
An SPPP is a written plan for
preventing stormwater runoff
pollution. You must keep it on
site and follow all activities
listed in it. It; must include:
Local man showing the facility
location relative to streams
and roadways
Sources ofnollutants—a list
of materials and activities that
might pollute, like oil storage,
or loading and unloading
Site may showing: drainage
areas, direction of flow, and
equipment and materials
storage and handling locations
• Management Plan (i.e., how
the site will reduce exposure
and control runoff, BMPs, etc)
• Spill prevention and response
procedures, in writing
• Inspection schedule
• Maintenance & housekeemna
procedures
• Employee training
• Certification Statement by
owner

! • Preventing wash down and
leaks from contacting the
ground
Records
i
All records listed in the SPPP as
well as monitoring records must
be kept on site.
How can 1 reduce my costs
for monitoring?
If you have more than one place
where runoff leaves your site, you
may request that DWQ grant you
"representative outfall status".
So, instead of sampling at three
or four locations, you can sample
at only one. DWQ will visit

outfall status is appropriate.
Who inspects me and for
what ?
DWQ personnel from the regional
office may visit the site and look
to see if you have the permit, an
acceptable SPPP, and evidence;
that you are following your SPPP.
These inspections may be routine
or the result of public complaints.

Stormwater sample being collected.
Sample should be taken at SDO,
which is typically at the lowest point
before water leaves the property.
Facilities that violate stormwater
permit conditions are subject to
fines. Civil penalties of up to
$25,000 per day may be assessed
for each violation.
How do I apply for the
Permit?

SECTION A: GENERAL PERMIT COVERAGE
All persons desiring to be covered by this General Permit must register with the Division of
Water Quality by the filing of a Notice of Intent (NOT) and applicable fees. The NOT shall be
submitted and a certificate of coverage issued prior to any discharge of stormwater associated
with industrial activity that has a point source discharge 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
Certification must submit a No Exposure Certification NOT form to the Division, must receive i
approval by the Division, must maintain no exposure conditions unless authorized to discharge
under a valid NPDES stormwater permit, and must reapply for the No Exposure Exclusion once
every five (5) years.
Facilities submitting NOIs for coverage under this permit, and facilities submitting renewal
forms for continued coverage under this permit, prior to establishment or approval of a Total
Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for pollutant(s) for stormwater discharges (i.e. wet weather
flows), may be covered under this permit during its term. For such facilities, continued coverage
under the reissuance of this permit is subject to the facility demonstrating that it does not have a
reasonable potential to violate applicable water quality standards for such pollutants due to the
stormwater discharge(s). For facilities that do have a reasonable potential for violation of
applicable water quality standards due to the stormwater discharge(s), the facility shall apply for
an individual permit 180 days prior to the expiration of this general permit. Once the individual
permit is issued and becomes effective the facility will no longer have coverage under the general
permit. Impaired waters scheduled for TMDL development are on North Carolina's 303(d) List
and can be found here: http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/tmdl/General_303d.htm#Downloads.
A list of approved TMDLs for the state of North Carolina can be found here:
http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/tmdl/General_TMDLs.htm.
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. •

SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
The permittee shall develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, herein after referred to as
the Plan. This Plan shall be considered public information in accordance with Part 11I, Standard
Conditions, Section E, Paragraph 3 of this general permit. The Plan shall include, at a minimum,
the following items:
Site Plan. The site plan shall provide a description of the physical facility and the
potential pollutant sources which may be expected to contribute to contamination of
stormwater discharges. The site plan 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 water(s) to which the
stormwater outfall(s) discharges, 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 point(s) of discharge. The map
should identify whether each receiving water is impaired (on the state's 303(d)
list of impaired waters) or is located in a watershed for which a TMDL has
been established, and what the parameter(s) of concern are. S

(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 which
could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall.
(c) A site map drawn to scale (including a distance legend) identifying and indicating
the location of: the site property boundary, the stormwater discharge points, 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, all drainage features and
structures, drainage areas for each outfall, industrial activities occurring in each
drainage area, buildings, existing BMPs, and impervious surfaces. The site map
must indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious.
(d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred at the facility
during the three (3) previous years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate
spill impacts. 0
Part 11 Page 1 of 8 Pages

Permit No. NCG 100000
(e) Certification 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 5.
2. Stormwater Management Plan. The stormwater management plan shall contain a
narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or
minimize the exposure of significant materials to stormwater, including structural and
nonstructural measures. The stormwater management plan, at a minimum, shall
incorporate the following:
(a) Feasibility Study. A 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 stormwater. 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, the stormwater management plan shall document the feasibility of
diverting the stormwater runoff away from areas of potential contamination.
(b) Secondary Containment Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is
required for: bulk storage of liquid materials; storage in any amount of Section
313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA)
water priority chemicals; and storage in any amount of hazardous substances, in
• 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 directly 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), and 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 the material stored within the containment area. 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 years. s.
(c) BMP Summary. A narrative description shall be provided of Best Management
Practices (BMPs) to be considered such as, but not limited to, oil and grease
separation, debris control, vegetative filter strips, infiltration and stormwater
detention or retention, where necessary. The need for structural BMPs shall be
based on the assessment of the potential of pollutant sources to contribute
significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected
through monitoring of stormwater discharges.
3. Spill Prevention and Response Plan. The Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP)
shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials
inventory of the facility. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the
Part 11 Page 2 of 8 Pages

Permit No. NCG100000
SPRP shall be identified. 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 SPCC plan 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.
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative
maintenance program shall be developed. The program shall document schedules of
inspections and maintenance activities of stormwater control systems, plant equipment
and systems. Inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of
these areas shall be incorporated into the program.
5. Employee Training. Training schedules shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis on proper spill response and cleanup procedures and
preventative maintenance activities for all personnel involved in any of the facility's
operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. Facility personnel
(or team) responsible for implementing the training shall be identified.
6. Responsible Party. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall identify a specific
position(s) responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and
revision to the Plan. Responsibilities for all components of the Plan shall be documented
and position assignments provided. .
7. Plan Amendment. The permittee shall amend the Plan whenever there is a change in
design, construction, operation, or maintenance which has a significant effect on the
potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. The Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. The annual update
shall include an updated list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous
three years, or the notation that no spills have occurred. The annual update shall include
re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-
stormwater discharges.
The Director may notify the permittee when the Plan 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 Plan to meet minimum
requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with
Part 111, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 5) to the Director that the changes
have been made.
Facility Inspection Program. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall
occur 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). The inspection and
any subsequent maintenance activities performed shall be documented, recording date
and time of inspection, individual(s) making the inspection and a narrative description of
the facility's stormwater control systems, plant equipment and systems. Records of these
inspections shall be incorporated into the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. These

facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the stormwater discharge
characteristic monitoring required in Part H of this permit.
9. Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Plan. The permittee shall document
all monitoring, measurements, inspections, maintenance activities, and training provided
to employees, including the log of the sampling data and of actions taken to implement
BMPs associated with the industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance activities.
Such documentation shall be kept on -site for a period of five years and made available to
the Director or the Director's authorized representative immediately upon request.

2 If the stormwater runoff is controlled by a stormwater detention pond, a grab sample of the discharge from the
pond shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge from the pond.
3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless representative
outfall status has been granted.
4 For each sampled representative storm event the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge or
local rain gauge reading must be recorded.
5 For purposes of this permit the list of Total Toxic Organics is that list as stated in Appendix D, Table I1 of Chapter 40
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 122.
Facilities that implement a Solvent Management Plan may so certify, and the requirement for TTO monitoring may be
waived. The Solvent Management Plan shall be incorporated as a separate chapter into the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan. The Solvent Management Plan shall include an annually updated and quantified inventory of the
total toxic organic compounds present on site during the previous three years; a narrative description of the in -plant
locations and uses of the toxic organic compounds, the method of disposal including quantities disposed on -site and
off -site; and 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.
Part II Page 4 of 8 Pages

Permit No. NCG 100000
For those facilities electing to employ the TTO sampling waiver, the discharger 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 requirement for total toxic organics (TTO), I 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. I further certify that this facility is implementing all the provisions of the Solvent
Management Plan included in the stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan."
All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a representative storm event at each
stormwater discharge outfall (SDO).
A representative storm event is a storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall
and that is preceded by at least 72 hours in which no storm event measuring greater than 0.1
inches has occurred. A single storm event may contain up to 10 consecutive hours of no
precipitation. For example, if it rains for 2 hours without producing any collectable discharge,
and then stops, a sample may be collected if a rain producing a discharge begins again within the
next 10 hours.
The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified
in Table 2. A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2 sample dates unless
monthly monitoring has been instituted under a Tier Two response.

includes multipie organic compounds with varying environmental impact; the Division may evaluate the site
specific constituents from the TTO analyses and work with the facility to determine a more appropriate chemical -
specific value that could differ from this benchmark. DWQ may require the permittee to provide controls for
materials that DWQ concludes are present in significant, or potentially significant, amounts.
Tier One
If: The sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any
at any outfall;
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 exceedence.
3. Identify potential, and select the specific: source controls, operational controls, or physical
improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern, or to bring
concentrations to 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 Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.

22. Representative Outfall Status
When it is established that the discharge of stormwater runoff from a single outfall is
representative of the discharges at multiple outfalls, the DWQ may grant representative
outfall status. Representative outfall status allows the permittee to perform analytical
monitoring at a reduced number of outfalls.
23. Rinse Water Discharge
The discharge of rinse water from equipment cleaning areas associated with industrial
activity. Rinse waters from vehicle and equipment cleaning areas are process
wastewaters and do not include washwaters utilizing any type of detergent or cleaning
agent.
24. Secondary Containment
Spill containment for the contents of the single largest tank within the containment
structure plus sufficient freeboard to allow for the 25-year, 24-hour storm event.
25. Section 313 Water Priority Chemical
A chemical or chemical category which:
a. Is listed in 40 CFR 372.65 pursuant to Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund
Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) of 1986, also titled the Emergency
Planning and Community Right -to -Know Act of 1986;
b. Is present at or above threshold levels at a facility subject to SARA title III,
Section 313 reporting requirements; and
That meet at least one of the following criteria:
(1) Is listed in appendix D of 40 CFR part 122 on either Table 11(organic S priority pollutants), Table III (certain metals, cyanides, and phenols) or
Table IV (certain toxic pollutants and hazardous substances);
Part IV, V, and VI Page 4 of 6 Pages

Permit No. NCG100000
(2) Is listed as a hazardous substance pursuant to section 311(b)(2)(A) of the
0 CWA at 40 CFR 116.4; or
(3) Is a pollutant for which EPA has published acute or chronic water quality
criteria.
26. Severe Property Damage
Means substantial physical damage to property, damage to the control facilities which
causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources
which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property
damage does not mean economic loss caused by delays in production.
27. Significant Materials
Includes, but is not limited to: raw materials; fuels; materials such as solvents, detergents,
and plastic pellets; finished materials such as metallic products; raw materials used in
food processing or production; hazardous substances designated under section 101(14) of
CERCLA; any chemical the facility is required to report pursuant to section 313 of Title
III of SARA; fertilizers; pesticides; and waste products such as ashes, slag and sludge that
have the potential to be released with stormwater discharges.
28. Significant Spills
Includes, but is not limited to: releases of oil or hazardous substances in excess of
reportable quantities under section 311 of the Clean Water Act (Ref: 40 CFR 110.10 and
CFR 117.21) or section 102 of CERCLA (Ref: 40 CFR 302.4).
24. Stormwater Runoff
The flow of water which results from precipitation and which occurs immediately
following rainfall or as a result of snowmelt.
30. Stormwater Associated with Industrial Activity
The discharge from any point source which is used for collecting and conveying
stormwater and which is directly related to manufacturing, processing or raw material
storage areas at an industrial site. Facilities considered to be engaged in "industrial
activities" include those activities defined in 40 CFR 122.26(b)(14). The term does not
include discharges from facilities or activities excluded from the NPDES program.
31. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
0 -
A comprehensive site -specific plan which details measures and practices to reduce
stormwater pollution and is based on an evaluation of the pollution potential of the site.
Part IV, V, and VI Page 5 of 6 Pages

Permit No. NCG100000
32. Ten Year Design Storm 0
The maximum 24 hour precipitation event expected to be equaled or exceeded on the
average once in ten years. Design storm information can be found in the State of North
Carolina Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual.
33. Total Flow
The flow corresponding to the time period over which the sample collection occurs. The
total flow can be calculated based on the size of the area draining to the outfall, the
amount of the built -upon (impervious) surfaces within the drainage area, and the total
amount of rainfall occurring during the sampling period.
34. Toxic Pollutant
Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act.
35. Upset
Means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary
noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors
beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include
noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment
or control facilities, inadequate treatment or control facilities, lack of preventive
maintenance, or careless or improper operation.
36. Vehicle Maintenance Activity
Vehicle rehabilitation, mechanical repairs, painting, fueling, lubrication, vehicle cleaning
operations, or airport deicing operations.
37. Visible Sedimentation
Solid particulate matter, both mineral and organic, that has been or is being transported
by water, air, gravity, or ice from its site of origin which can be seen with the unaided
eye.
38. 25-year, 24 hour storm event
The maximum 24-hour precipitation event expected to be equaled or exceeded, on the
average, once in 25 years.
