Inspection Summary:
Sonoco Recycling is a recycling facility for commercial waste. The facility receives cardboard and mixed paper, which are
baled to be sent to other Sonoco facilities for further processing. Approximately 90% of the material arrives at the site
presorted. The facility also receives smaller quantities of plastic and glass. Baled aluminum and steel are occasionally
received from another facility.
Deficiencies were observed for excessive debris and poor housekeeping in the outdoor storage areas, stormwater system,
and loading areas. Another deficiency was observed for petroleum contamination in the soil near the fueling area. Other
recommendations for housekeeping and operations are provided in the report.

NPDES Stormwater Permit NCG130000
Certificate of Coverage -- NCG130011
Mecklenburg County
Dear Mr. Hannah:
Enclosed are the monitoring results from the laboratory analyses performed on the discharge from Stormwater
Outfall 001 at the subject facility. The samples analyzed were grab samples collected, during the sampling
investigation performed on October 12, 2009, by Jeff Mitchell of Charlotte -Mecklenburg Storm Water Services.
This sampling investigation was conducted as part of a cooperative working agreement between Mecklenburg
County and the Division of Water Quality. In addition, the inspection was conducted on behalf of the City of
Charlotte in compliance with'the City's NPDES Permit, NCS000240, Part II Section H.
The enclosed monitoring results indicate that the stormwater discharged on October 12. 2009, contained an
elevated concentration of total suspended solids (TSS) compared with the benchmark concentrations
contained in Stormwater general permit NCG130000. Although Sonoco Products Company is not required to
sample stormwater for TSS, the benchmark concentration noted in the permit was developed for
implementation in all types of stormwater runoff.
In addition, elevated concentrations of copper, zinc, turbidity, and fecal coliform were also detected as
compared with the Division's benchmarks developed for individual stormwater permits (copper - 7 µg/L; zinc -
67 µg/L; turbidity — 50 NTU; and fecal coliform — 1,000 CEU/100 mL).
In addition, the copper, chromium, and zinc concentrations exceeded the applicable stream standards for toxic
substances (copper - 7 µg/L; zinc - 50 µg/L; chromium (total recoverable) - 50 µg1L). Since the stormwater
sample was not collected in -stream, the stream standards do not apply; however, these standards can be used
to indicate the potential of your runoff to impact the receiving stream.
Please review the requirements of your stormwater permit and take the required steps/actions to reduce the
concentration of the noted pollutants leaving your site. Through the development and implementation of
stormwater management programs it is the Division of Water Quality's expectation that stormwater discharges
at industrial sites covered by NPDES stormwater permits do not impact receiving waters.

ADDENDUM
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program was established under 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, depending 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 (SPPP) 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/Forms_Documents.htm. Permit text, technical bulletins*, discharge monitoring
forms, and a Notice of Intent [which is the application for coverage under a NPDES General Stormwater
Permit] can be found on this website.
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. Please see the
above mentioned website to obtain a copy of the permit so you may fully comply with all the conditions therein.
Failure to properly comply with conditions of the permit, like those bulleted below, is a violation(s) of
the permit and subject to civil penalty assessment(s) 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 filing of a Notice of Intent (NOI) and Applicable Fees.
• This Notice of Intent (NOI) must be submitted,and a Certificate.of.Cove rage 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 waters 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 the 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

This letter is to inform you that, as of the date of this letter, the Division of Water Quality has not received a

states "All applications shall be filed with the commission at least 180 days in advance of the date on which it is
desired to commence the discharge of wastes or the date on which an existing permit expires, as the case may be".
Any permittee that has not requested renewal at least 180 days prior to expiration or permittee that does not have a
permit after the expiration and has not requested renewal at least 180 days prior to expiration, will be subjected to
enforcement procedures as provided in NCGS § 143-215.6 and 33 USC 1251 et. seq.
In order to prevent continued, escalated action, including the assessment of civil penalties you must submit a
completed permit coverage renewal application to the attention of the "Stormwater and General Permits Unit" at

escalated action. Mailing instructions for submitting rescission request are listed on the bottom of the form. You

Subject: NPDES Stormwater Permit Coverage Renewal

COC Number NCG130011
Mecklenburg County
Dear Permittee:
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 t43-215.1
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://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/stormwater.htrnl
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 Mike Parker of the Mooresville
Regional Office at 704-663-1699 or Mack Wiggins of the Central Office Stormwater Unit at [phone], ext.

Environmental Management Commission of the Department of Enviroittnent & Natural Resources to protect
and preserve the water resources of the State. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has the delegated
authority to enforce adopted pollution control rules and regulations.
After reviewing the web site for SONTOCO facilities it has been determined that two other recycling
facilities located in the Mooresville Regional Office are not listed as permitted facilities in our stonxiwater data
base. If these facilities are currently operating as a non metal recycling operation they should be permitted.
