Subject: NPDES Stormwater Permit Coverage Renewal COC #NCG140276
Dear Permittee:
TRACY DAVIS
Dirrcrur
For coverage under Stormwater General Permit NC6140000, the Division of Energy,
Mineral, and Land Resources (DEMLR) is forwarding herewith the reissued Certificate of
Coverage (COC). 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.) A new Certificate of Coverage (COC) is included with this
letter.
You must print a copy of the new NCG140000 General Permit from our website here:
.._: _.._._.. _.._http./.Zdea:nc.govf_about./divisionsfenergv-.mineral-land-resources,/energy-mineraHapd-
e e - e -i t ' - . In addition to the full permit, the 2017
print package on the website includes revised Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) forms,
Annual Discharge Monitoring Report forms, and Qualitative Monitoring Report Forms.
The General Permit authorizes discharges of stormwater and wastewater (if applicable),
and it specifies your obligations with respect to discharge controls, management,
monitoring, and record keeping. Please review the new permit to familiarize yourself with
all changes in the reissued permit. Significant changes to the General Permit are
outlined in the Technical Bulletin, which is also available on the website above. Your
facility has six months from receipt of the permit to update your Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SPPP) to reflect any new permit requirements.

Now does the new General Permit affect Tier Status?
The first sample period of your permit begins August 1, 2017. Tier 3 actions in Part IV 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. Likewise, Tier 2 actions
are triggered by two consecutive benchmark exceedances beginning on the effective date
of this permit and do not count prior exceedances. Howeverif your facility is already in
Tier 2 (monitoring stormwater discharges monthly) or Tier 3, you must Continue monthly
monitoring until relieved through conditions of the permit or by DEMLR staff approval.
When does electronic DMR reporting start?
We are setting up our database with final permit parameters and the outfalls that
permittees submitted on-line. All NCG14 Permittees will receive notification when our
eDMR system is ready for these permittees to register and begin reporting
monitoring data electronically. If you have any questions about the status, please
contact Bethany Georgoulias at [phone] or Robert Patterson at [phone]. If
you did not submit outfall information already, we have included a form for you to return
to us. (Note: NO FORM IS ATTACHED if we already have your outfall information.)
Your coverage under the General Permit is transferable only through the specific action of
DEMLR. This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which
may be required by the N.C. Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), 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 DEMLR
Stormwater Permitting Program at [phone].

Dear NPDES Permittee:
The NCG140000 General Permit expires on June 30, 2017. Our records indicate that annual fees are
owed on this permit. Coverage under this permit for this site cannot be renewed until these fees are
paid. If you no longer need this permit, a rescission form is enclosed.
Sometimes fees lapse because billing contact or other information is out of date. Please review the
permit contact information enclosed. Ensure that all contact information is accurate and complete, and
that e-mail addresses are provided wherever possible.
To update contact information for your permit: you may simply e-mail us changes to contact
information, unless there is a change to the Owner Affiliation, Because Owner Affiliation is the person
legally responsible for the permit, we require a hard copy of the signed Owner Affiliation Change Form_
(enclosed) to make this change. A change in company Name or Ownership requires a different form, so
please contact us if necessary. Changes to other contacts can be e-mailed to Laura Alexander at
[e-mail].
If you have any questions, please contact Laura Alexander at the e-mail above or at [phone], or
Bethany Georgoulias at [phone] or [e-mail].

1) Location
Ready Mixed Concrete 119-Laurinburg Plant is located at 13820 Dixie Guano Road, in Laurinburg,
NC, Scotland County.

Directions
In Laurenburg from the intersection of Business Hwy 74 and Business 151501, take Business HWY 74 west to
Highland Road then turn left on to Dixie Guano Road. Plant will be on the left.
Safety Considerations: Standard DAQ safety equipment, as well as safety vest. Be alert for trucks entering and
leaving the facility.
2) Facility and Process Description
Ready Mix Concrete, Plant No. I t9 is a small portable concrete batch plant. This facility is permitted under
Air Permit No. 7141Gt1, effective from 10 March 2011 until 29 February 2016. Mike Thomas
conducted the last compliance inspection on 15 January 2014.
Ready Mixed Concrete, Plant No. 119 is a batch concrete plant. Raw materials (sand and gravel) are loaded
into a hopper and fed into a concrete mixer truck by means of a conveyer belt. A computer controls all of the
amounts of material. Next, concrete is loaded and then mixed with water inside the truck. The concrete is
mixed on the way to the site where the concrete is to be poured.
a) Throughputs for 2014
Employees: 3 (same as in 2013)
Hours: 7:OOAM — 5:OOPM (same in 2013)
Production: — 10,000 yds3 (-10,200 yds3 total in 2013)
b) Permitted Sources
One Concrete batch plant with fabric filter air pollution control system(s) installed on all sources;
1. One (1) cement mixing weigh hopper and loading operation; and,
2. Silos for cement and flyash storage.
3) Inspection Conference
On 1 September 2015, 1 Mike Thomas of FRO DAQ, met with Gary Blanchard, Plant Manager at this
facility. The facility is up for permit renewal but has declined my assistance with completion of the
emission inventory and permit renewal forms thus far. We discussed the following:
a) I verified the FACFINDER information and no changes are required.
b) I inspected the bagfilter logbooks and found them to be in good order. They keep electronic as well
as manual records. Monthly production records are sent to the Facility's regional office in
Fayetteville. Noted in the logbook were entries for weekly filter bag maintenance and monthly
visual bag checks, as well as a more in depth annual inspection. Filter Kleen (out of McDonough,
GA) comes — 2x/year to do a thorough cleaning of the bag house and filters. The last inspection was
performed on 13 November 2014. This facility has 4 forms that it keeps in the logbook: #I- Air
emissions quick reference checklist, #2 — Bagfilter maintenance and inventory log, #3 — Weekly
bagfilter maintenance checklist, and #4 -- Monthly bagfilter maintenance checklist (includes
lubrication of bearings, checking the sealing of filters, e.g.). The logbook also includes daily
magnehelic gauge readings (normal operation is 3.5-5.5 inches of water) with monthly and daily
production totals, as well as visual inspections for dust. Mr. Blanchard performs a walk around at
least once a day, usually after the first truck of the day loads out.
4) Inspection Summary (facility was not operating during inspection)
Mr. Blanchard led me on a tour of the facility starting with the cement and flyash silos. The areas around
both silos were very clean, indicating that care has been taken to not overload the system when filling.

Mr. Blanchard stated that it is company policy to keep the silos locked requiring the driver to come to the
office to receive the key before unloading begins. One of the staff typically oversees the filling operation
each time to insure that correct fill pressures are maintained. I observed no problems in this area.
I was unable to watch a truck load out but the load out chute looked to be in good shape.
The facility has 2 short wooden poles on either side of its driveway, marking the minimum distance to the
cement mixing weigh hopper. The permit states that the distance is 144 feet; I confirmed that distance
with a Bushnell Rangefinder during this inspection.
5) Permit Stipulations
a) A.3 2D .0515 PARTICULATE CONTROL REQUIREMENT— Particulate matter emissions from the
emissions sources shall not exceed allowable rates.
Appeared to be in compliance — Latest permit review shows compliance. There have been no changes
in the operation since the last permit review.
5
b) AA 2D .0521 VISIBLE EMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS — Visible emissions from the permitted
sources shall not be more than 20%.
Appeared to he in compliance — The facility was not operating; therefore, I observed 0% VE.
c) A.5 2D .0535 NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENT - The facility is required to notify DAQ if
excess emissions occur for more than a 4-hour period caused by a breakdown or other abnormal
condition.
Appears to be in compliance — The facility has had no exceedances, breakdowns, or abnormal
conditions requiring notification.
d) A.6 213.0540 FUGITIVE DUST CONTROL REQUIREMENT— The Permittee shall not cause
complaints or excess visible emissions beyond the property line.
Appeared to be in compliance — I saw no excess fugitive dust emissions, and the facility has had no
complaints.
e) A.7 2D.0611 FABRIC FILTER REQUIREMENT— Particulate matter emissions shall be controlled
by fabric filters, which at a minimum are to have an annual internal inspection and periodic I&M per
the manufacturer's recommendation, with logbooks kept detailing maintenance.
Appeared to be in compliance - The logbook on site was accurate, with updated entries for inspections
and maintenance. The last annual inspection was conducted on 15 January 2015. The facility conducts
internal inspections and preventative maintenance on a quarterly basis.
f) A.8 2D .1104 TOXIC AIR POLLUTANT CONTROL REQUIREMENTS —Maximum concrete
production rate according to minimum distance to property line, property line identification, monitoring
and record keeping requirements, and reporting requirements.
Appeared to be in compliance - Latest annual report for 2015(submitted in January 2015) was below
maximum rate (— 10,000 yds3); wooden stake marks property line adjacent to next business property;
daily, monthly, and yearly production totals are kept on site; latest annual report shows compliance for
minimum distance to property line (144 feet), monthly concrete totals, and annual production.
g) A.9 2Q .0310 GENERAL PERMIT CRITERIA — Facility shall only operate permitted sources, is
located in a said county, hourly production rate does not exceed 125 cubic yards, and it does not exceed
its production rate of 90,000 cubic yards/year.
Appeared to be in compliance — Facility only operates permitted sources, is in Scotland County, hourly
production rate is well below maximum (60yd/hour), and latest yearly (2014) production was 10,000 yds3.

h) A.10 2Q .071 1 TOXIC AIR POLLUTANT EMISSIONS LIMITATIONS — TAPs listed in air permit
cannot exceed TPERs.
Appeared to be in compliance -- Based on current production rates and latest permit review, TPERs did
not appear to have been exceeded.
6) 112R Status
The facility does not use or store chemical compounds that require a written risk management plan under the
Clean Air Act, Section 112R.
7) Non-compliance History Since 2010
None

letter to the facility.
09/01/15 Mike Thomas of FRO DAQ inspected the site and found it to be in apparent compliance.
Mike offered assistance with preparing the EI. The company declined Mike's offer.
11 /30/ 15 The facility submitted the emissions inventory data via AERO.
12/01/15 FRO received the renewal packet including the emission inventory, certification sheet
and the "AA Form". No fees were required. There was no request to keep any
information confidential. The permit application appeared complete for processing.
12/01/.15 FRO sent the facility a letter acknowledging receipt of the permit application.
12/03/1.5 Mike Thomas, FRO DAQ, requested additional information from Steve Simonsen,
Environmental Manager, with regard to the facility's emission inventory. The
calculations for the facility's emission inventory were not properly grouped, emissions
sources were marked as "did not operate" when it appeared they did operate, and the
calculations were submitted using an outdated NC DEQ spreadsheet. PERMIT

IV. Regulatory Review
l . Particulate Control Requirement -- Particulate matter (PM) standards are provided in .15A NCAC
2D .0515, which is applicable to potential PM emissions from any stack, vent, or outlet for which
no other emission control standards are applicable. Pursuant to the standard, emissions of
filterable PM from the affected emission sources, including the weigh hopper, cement silo(s),
and/or flyash silos(s), shall not exceed an allowable emission rate as calculated by the following
equations:
For P < 30 tons per hour:
E = 4.10 x P0-67
For P > 30 tons per hour:
E=55.0xPO, 1-40
Where E = allowable emission rate in pounds per hour; and,
P = process weight in tons per hour
Generally, truck mix concrete batch plants have a maximum production rate of approximately
120 cubic yards per hour (yd3/hr). A cubic yard of concrete varies in density, but is typically
weighs about 2 tons. Therefore, the maximum process weight ("P") is about 240 tons per hour
(tpy). Therefore, the maxiinum allowable emission rate is approximately 60.5 pounds per hour
(lb/hr), as shown in the following calculation:
If the process weight rate ("P") is 240 tph, then:
E = 55.0 x P" I — 40
E = 55.0 x 2401-11— 40
E = 60.5 lb/hr
Based on the same maximum production rate (i.e., 120 yd3/hr), maximum PM emissions are
estimated to be 4.84 lb/hr using the Emissions Spreadsheet for Concrete Batching provided on
DAQ's website (Revision A, http:Udaq.state.nc.us/permits/files/cb.xls).' The estimated
maximum emission rate (4.84 lb/hr) is well below the maximum allowable emission rate (60.5
lb/hr).
Based on the calculations provided above, the DAQ anticipates that truck mix concrete batch
plants with central control will be in compliance with the PM standards pursuant to 15A NCAC
2D .0515. No further compliance demonstration is required in the general permit.
2. Visible Emissions Control Requirement — VE standards are provided in 15A NCAC 2D .0521,
which is applicable to potential VE emissions from any stack, vent, or outlet for which no other
emission control standards are applicable. This regulation limits visible emissions as follows:
DAQ issued a Memorandum on June 8, 2005 ("Emission Factors for Ready -Mixed Concrete Facilities") recommending PM. PM a, and Arsenic
(As) emission factors to be used in place of the emission factors presented in the previous version of AP-42's Chapter 11.12 (Published October
2001). US EPA has since issued an updated version of Chapter I t.12 (Published June 2006) with revised PM/PMjo factors for truck and central
mix concrete batch plants. DAQ will re-evaluate the PM/PM io factors recommended in the memorandum based on the updated AP-42 as stated
in the memorandum: however, currently DAQ is utilizing emission factors provided in the memorandum to evaluate PM/PMWAs emissions from
concrete batch plants.

Argos Ready Mix — Laurinburg Plant (No 1 19)
Permit G 12 Review
Page 4 of 8
— For sources manufactured prior to July 1, 1971, visible emissions may not exceed 40 percent
opacity when averaged over a 6-minute period, except that 6-minute periods averaging more
than 90 percent opacity may occur not more than once in any hour not more than four times
in any 24-hour period.
-- For sources manufactured after July 1, 1971, visible emissions may not exceed 20 percent
opacity when averaged over a 6-minute period, except that 6-minute periods averaging more
than 87 percent opacity may occur not more than once in any hour not more than four times
in any 24-hour period.
Visible emissions from this facility would be controlled at this facility through the use of a fabric
filter(s) on the storage silos, weigh hopper, and loading operations. The permit also includes
inspection and maintenance requirements for the fabric filter(s) pursuant to 15A NCAC 2D .0611
to ensure proper operation of the control device(s). The DAQ anticipates that proper
inspection/maintenance of the fabric filter(s) in accordance with 15A NCAC 2D .0611 will be
sufficient to meet the visible emission standards pursuant to 15A NCAC 2D .0515. No further
compliance demonstration is required in the general permit.
Fabric Filter Requirements — This General Permit requires that potential particulate matter
emissions from all emissions sources, including the weigh hopper and loading operations, cement
silo(s) and flyash silo(s), be controlled by fabric filters. Pursuant to the monitoring requirements
of 15A NCAC 2D .0611, DAQ has included the requirement to conduct annual internal
inspections of the fabric filter systems, in addition to any periodic inspection and maintenance
procedures that are recommended by the equipment manufacturer. This requirement is added to
ensure proper operation of the fabric filter(s), which control potential emissions from the batching
and storage operations to comply the various particulate matter, visible emission, and toxic air
pollutant emission limitations.
To demonstrate compliance with the fabric filter requirements, the permit also requires that the
Permittee retain results of all inspections in a logbook, including any variance from
manufacturer's recommendations or from those given in this permit. Any variance shall be
investigated with corrections made and dates of actions recorded in the logbook. The logbook (in
written or electronic form) shall be kept on -site and made available to DAQ personnel upon
request.
4. Toxic Air Pollutant Control Requirements — Pursuant to 15A NCAC 2D .1100, DAQ requires any
facility that emits a regulated Toxic Air Pollutant (TAP) at a rate greater than the TAP Permitting
Emission Rate (TPER), as listed in the 15A NCAC 2Q .0711, demonstrate through air dispersion
modeling that emissions from the facility are not resulting in the exceedance of the Acceptable
Ambient Level (AAL) for that pollutant, as listed in 15A NCAC 2D .1104.
Past stack tests have shown that concrete batch plants may emit arsenic, a regulated TAP, at an
emission rate greater than the TPER (i.e., 0.053 lb/hr). By modeling multiple air dispersion
models of "typical" truck mix concrete facilities with central control, DAQ determined that
facilities that limit annual concrete production rates as provided below are NOT causing an
exceedance of the AAL, for arsenic, and are therefore qualified to apply for the General Permit for
concrete batching.

The results of the most recently conducted modeling, using the updated TPER for arsenic, were
included in a memo titled "Concrete Production Modeling Exemption Rates" dated February 12,
2015 from Mark Cuilla. The maximum concrete production rates resulting from this modeling

'The "Maximum Concrete Production Rate" may not be interpolated for property line distances falling
between two values listed above. (For example, a truck mix facility with a "Minimum Distance to
Property Line" of less than 60 meters but greater than or equal to 55 meters would be subject to a
"Maximum Concrete Production Rate" of 815,500 yd3/yr.)

Argos Ready Mix — Laurinburg Plant (No 1 19)
Permit G 12 Review
Page 6 of 8
The General Permit requires that the Permittee maintain a physical marker at the point on the
property line used to establish the "Minimum Distance to Property Line". The physical marker
may consist of any fixture, including a property line fence or a pole/stake installed at the point for
the specific purpose of meeting this requirements. This "Physical Marker" requirement is
included in the permit to insure that DAQ representatives can verify compliance with the standard
during on -site inspections.
In addition, the Permittee is required to demonstrate compliance with the applicable annual
production limit (based on its "Distance to Property Line") by maintaining records of concrete
production for each calendar month (in yd3/month) and for each calendar year (in yd3/year). All
recorded monthly and annual production data for a single calendar year must be submitted to the
Regional Supervisor by March V of the following year.
Finally, the Permittee is required to notify the Regional Supervisor within 15 days of installing an
additional cement silo and/or flyash silo. This notification is intended to assure the Regional
Office that the permitted facility will continue to qualify for the General Permit, as specified in
Specific Condition 2, following installation of the new silo(s).
Note that all modeling performed by the DAQ for the development of this General Permit utilizes
"sirnple terrain" (i.e., flat topography) versus "complex terrain" (i.e., mountainous topography).
Terrain can greatly impact off -site ambient impacts of emitted pollutants, and simple terrain
models are not considered adequate for estimating off -site impacts in mountainous topographies.
Currently. the DAQ is excluding concrete batch plants in mountainous counties from qualifying
for the General Permit.' A list of counties that may qualify for the General Permit are listed in
Section A, Condition 2.c. of the General Permit.
5. TOXIC AIR POLLUTANT EMISSION LIMITATIONS — Ready -mix concrete batch plants have
the potential to emit state -regulated toxic air pollutants (TAP) in addition to arsenic, including
beryllium, cadmium, chromium3, manganese and compounds, and nickel metal. Pursuant to 15A
NCAC 2Q .0711 "Emission Rates Requirement a Permit," the actual emission rate of regulated
TAP shall not exceed the Toxic Permitting Emission Rate (TPER), as listed in the rule, PRIOR
TO obtaining a permit in accordance with the requirement of 15A NCAC 2D . i 100.
' DAQ delineated "mountainous" counties as those counties identified in DAQ's most recent " NC Air Toxic Guidance" document as requiring
site -specific metrological data based on terrain features. See Appendix B of the document for a list of counties
(http://daq,state.ne.us/pen-nits/mets/Guidance.pdf).
' "Chromium" includes all soluble chromate compounds, as chromium (VI) equivalent.)

Argos Ready Mix — Laurinburg Plant (No 119)

Page 7 of 8
Based on current emission factors, as provided in the Emissions Spreadsheet for Concrete
Batching provided on DAQ's website (Revision A, http://dag.stote.nc.us/pgrmits/files/cb.xis),
TAP emissions from facilities meeting the annual production limitations provided in this permit
should not exceed the listed TPERs. A summary of TPERs and estimated emissions are provided
in the following table:

0,009 lb/day
Manganese and compounds
0.63 lb/day
0.047 lb/day
Nickel metal
0.13 lb/day
0.010 lb/day
Tvtaxlmurn annual emission rates kror oeryluum and cadmium) are estimated assuming
a maximum annual throughput of 150,000 yd3. Maximum daily emission rates (for
chromium, manganese, and nickel) are estimated assuming a maximum daily
throughput of 2,880 yd3/day (i.e., 120 yd3/hr continuously for 24 hours)
The Permittee shall be responsible for obtaining a permit to emit TAPs and for demonstrating
compliance with the requirements of 15A NCAC 2D .1100 "Control of Toxic Air Pollutants"
PRIOR to exceeding any of the listed TPERs.
V. Title V Applicability
This General Permit is only available to "true small" sources with facility -wide potentials -to -emit (PTEs)
of less than Title V major source thresholds for all regulated air pollutants. Facilities whose production
throughputs are less than the amounts listed in the table in Section 4 above would have facility -wide PTEs
of less than Title V thresholds for all regulated air pollutants and would not be subject to Title V
permitting requirements.
VI. Maximum Facility -Wide Emissions
Maximum facility -wide emissions are estimated using the Concrete Batch Emission Calculation
spreadsheet provided on the NC DAQ website (http://daq.state.nc.us/permiWfiles/cb.xls). A completed
calculation spreadsheet for this facility is attached to this permit review document. Actual emissions were
taken from the facility's 2014 AQEI.

Discharge Monitoring Reports. A review of your records revealed that you have
sampled the SDO noted above but not on a quarterly basis or for Settleable Solids as
called for in your permit. Please review your permit for Process Wastewater
Monitoring that outlines proper sampling frequencies and parameters.
These deficiencies should be corrected by following permit conditions in the
future and submitting all data that has to date not been submitted to the
Division of Water Quality as called for in the current permit by December 1,
2012.
I am told that during the inspection there was a discussion pertaining to two 250
gallon containers of truck washing liquid and the possible requirement to place those
containers in the onsite secondary containment area. Mr. Rawls has reviewed the
terms and conditions of your permit and has determined that those containers are
not required to be in the containment area. We do however suggest that the
containers be placed in the secondary containment area to prevent the release of
the noted material to the land, surface or ground waters should the containers or
associated piping fail. This suggestion is made in the spirit of environmental
protection but the final decision is that of Ready Mixed Concrete Company.
- Secondary containment was noted as locked in keeping with proper secondary
containment practices.
- Records were available and organized,
- Employee training includes an online videos, discussions of environmental and safety
related items with the facility manager as well as an employee test.
- No significant spills recorded,
- As discussed all staff that are part of stormwater management on the site should
review the permit as often as necessary to be aware of the terms and conditions
contained in the document,

COC Number NCG140276
Scotland County
Dear Permittee:
In response to your renewal application for continued coverage under stormwater General Permit NCG140000
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
• A copy of General Permit NCGI40000
• A copy of the Technical Bulletin for the General Permit
• Two copies of the Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Form for Stormwater
• Two copies of the DMR Form for Wastewater
• Two copies of the Qualitative Monitoring Report Form
The General Permit authorizes discharges of stormwater and/or wastewater, and it specifies your obligations with
respect to discharge controls, management, monitoring, and record keeping. Please review the new permit to
familiarize yourself with all the changes in the reissued permit. If your Certificate of Coverage (COC) restricts
authorization to discharge Stormwater only (or other limited terms), you must contact the Stormwater Permitting
Unit if you would like to request a modification to your COC.
The first sample period of your permit begins July 1, 2011. However, because of the delayed mail -out of permit
packages, your facility is expected to attempt to sample during the first sampling period, and must comply with
sampling requirements beginning during the second sampling period. Your facility must sample a representative
storm event between January 1 and July 30, 2012 (for stormwater sampling), and/or sample wastewater between
October 1, 2011 and December 31, 2011 (or, if applicable, report "No Flow", as outlined in Part V, Section E).
Additionally, your facility has 6 months from the time of receipt of the permit to update SPPP to current standards.
The more significant changes in the General Permit since your last Certificate of Coverage include the following
(please note the names and numbers of sections have been changed from the previous permit revision):
Part II:
• Authorization to Construct (ATC) language was added to the permit and adapted to fit NCG140000.
Part III:
• The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) section has been updated to the most current
language of our permits. Some additional conditions specific to this industry have been added to the
SPPP language.
Part IV:
• Sections A & B: Revised provisions require stormwater discharges be sampled twice per year (instead of
annually), and sampling results shall be compared to new benchmark values. (The previous cut-off
concentrations have been removed).

• Sections A & B: Revised provisions require the permittee to execute Tier One, Two & Three response
actions: Tier One requirements for a first benchmark exceedence, and/or Tier Two response for a second
consecutive benchmark exceedence, if applicable. Tier Two requires that the permittee institute monthly
monitoring (reported to the appropriate Regional Offices) instead of twice -per -year monitoring. Monthly
monitoring shall be done until three consecutive monitoring events show no benchmark exceedences.
• Sections A & B: This permit now contains a provision that four exceedences of any benchmark will trigger
increased DWQ involvement in the permittee's stormwater management and control actions (Tier Three).
DWQ may direct the permittee to apply for an individual permit, institute specific monitoring, or may direct
the implementation or installation of specific stormwater control measures.
• Sections A & B: Failure to perform analytical stormwater monitoring requires that the permittee begin a
monthly sampling scheme for both industrial stormwater discharges and/or stormwater discharges from
VMA areas (where applicable). After 6 months of monthly sampling, the permittee may return to semi-
annual sampling, unless otherwise specified by DWQ.
• Sections A & B: A lower TSS benchmark of 50 mg/l for HOW, ORW, PNA and Tr Waters was added to
this permit for these more sensitive waters.
• Section B: The monitoring parameter Oil & Grease has been replaced by the parameter Total Petroleum
Hydrocarbons.
• Sections A, B & C: Inability to sample due to adverse weather must be reported in the SPPP.
• Sections A, B & C: The terminology "Representative Storm Event" has been replaced by "Measurable
Storm Event" in response to comments from industry groups. A measurable storm event is a storm event
that results in an actual discharge from the permitted site outfall. The previous measurable storm event
must have been at least 72 hours prior, unless the permittee is able to document that a shorter interval is
representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and obtains written approval from the
local DWQ Regional Office.
• Section C: Qualitative monitoring must now be conducted semi-annually and is tied to the same
measurable storm event as the analytical monitoring.
• Section C: If the permittee fails to respond effectively to problems identified by qualitative monitoring, the
permittee may be required by DWQ to perform corrective action.
• Section D: This section has now been consolidated to one section with one set of combined tables for all
types of authorized wastewater discharges.
• Section D: The wastewater analytical monitoring schedule has been set to quarterly,
• Section D: TSS limits have been revised for PNA, Trout and HOW waters per rule requirements in 15A
NCAC 02B ,0224.
• Section D: 7010-based flow limits have been set for PNA waters per regulations in 15A NCAC 02B.
• Section D: TPH monitoring requirements have been added to wastewater monitoring when stormwater
runoff from VMA areas commingles with wastewater.
• Section D: This wording in the permit has been removed: "For facilities which route stormwater and all
process wastewater to a recycle system, no analytical monitoring of process wastewater discharges is
required if that recycle system discharges as a result of a 10-year 24-hour (or larger) precipitation event."
Part V:
• Section A: For existing facilities previously permitted and applying for renewal under this General Permit:
New elements of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan for this permit renewal shall be developed and
implemented within 6 months of the effective date of the initial Certificate of Coverage issued pursuant to
this General Permit and updated thereafter on an annual basis.
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
these members of the Stormwater Permitting Unit: Jennifer Jones [phone], Ken Pickle [phone], or
Bethany Georgoulias [phone].

for Coleen H. Sullins

considered an illegal discharge and may subject the owner to enforcement actions in accordance with North
Carolina General Statutes 143-215.6A
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are
unacceptable to you, you have the right to request an individual permit by submitting an individual permit
application. Unless such demand is made, this certificate of coverage shall be final and binding.
