Subject: Stormwater Compliance Evaluation inspection
Certificate of Coverage No: NCG 1-30001-and NCG200467
Fortress Metals, Inc.
Durham County
Dear Mr Wang:
On March 12, 2010, Cheng Zhang of the Raleigh Regional Office (RRO) conducted a
Stormwater Compliance Evaluation Inspection at Fortress Metals. Your assistance was greatly
appreciated. The inspection report is attached. Findings during the inspection were as follows:
1. Certificate of Coverage (COC) No. NCG130001 of NPDES general permit
NCG130000 and COC No. NCG200267 of NPDES general permit NCG200000 were
issued to Fortress Metals (Durham), Inc. to discharge stormwater runoff to the State
waters.
2. The facility has developed a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). A review
of the plan indicated that it covered all components required by the general permit.
Please be reminded that the plan is required to be reviewed or updated annually, and
the annual plan review/update should be documented.
As a result of a recent change of owner of the facility, a new COC was issued in
February 2010. The facility will conduct the first semi-annual qualitative and
analytical monitoring before the end of June.
4. Both stormwater outfalls were observed during the inspection and were in good
condition. Considerable amount of oil was observed in stormwater puddles and
dirt ground. Please consider taking appropriate actions to Correct this. Please
submit a copy of the above mentioned analytical monitoring report to RRO
when it is conducted.

Subject: NPDES Stormwater Permit Coverage Renewal
S Swartz And Sons Incorporated
COC Number NCG130001
Durham County
Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under General Permit NCG130000. This permit expires
on March 31, 2003. The Division staff is currently in the process of rewriting this permit and is scheduled to have
the permit reissued by early spring of 2003. Once the permit is reissued, your facility would be eligible for
continued coverage under the reissued permit.
In order to assure your continued coverage under the general permit, you must apply to the Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) for renewal of your permit coverage. To make this renewal process easier, we are informing you in
advance that your permit coverage will be expiring. Enclosed you will find a Permit Coverage Renewal
Application Form. The application must be completed and returned by October 2, 2002 in order to assure
continued coverage under the general permit. Due to staff and budget constraints, letters confirming our receipt of
the completed application will not be sent.
Failure to request renewal within the time period specified, may result in a civil assessment of at least $250.00.
Larger penalties may be assessed depending on the delinquency of the request. Discharge of stormwater from your
facility without coverage under a valid stormwater NPDES permit would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215A
and could result in assessments of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day.
Please note that recent federal legislation has extended the "no exposure exclusion" to all operators of industrial
facilities in any of the 11 categories of "storm water discharges associated with industrial activity," (except
construction activities). If you feel your facility can certify a condition of "no exposure", i.e. the facility industrial
materials and operations are not exposed to stormwater, you can apply for the no exposure exclusion. For additional
information contact the Central Office Stormwater Staff member listed below or check the Stormwater & General
Permits Unit Web Site at http:llh2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/storrnwater.htmI
If the subject stormwater discharge to waters of the state has been terminated, please complete the enclosed
Rescission Request Form. Mailing instructions are listed on the bottom of the form. You will be notified when the
rescission process has been completed.
If you have any questions regarding the permit renewal procedures please contact Joe Albiston of the Raleigh
Regional Office at 9 t9-571-4700 or Mack Wiggins of the Central Office Stormwater Unit at [phone], ext.
542
