Dear Mr. Spalvieri:

Subject: Rescission of NPDES Stormwater Permit
Certificate of Coverage Number NCG080817
New Hanover County
On April 2, 2015, the Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources received your request to rescind your
coverage under Certificate of Coverage Number NCG080817. in accordance with your request, Certificate
of Coverage Number NCGO80817 is rescinded effective immediately.
Operating a treatment facility, discharging wastewater or discharging specific types of stormwater to waters
of the State without valid coverage under an NPDES permit is against federal and state laws and could result
in fines. If something changes and your facility would again require stormwater or wastewater discharge
permit coverage, you should notify this office immediately. We will be happy to assist you in assuring the
proper permit coverage.
If the facility is in the process of being sold, you will be performing a public service if you would inform the
new or prospective owners of their potential need for NPDES permit coverage.
If you have questions about this matter, please contact us at 919-707-9200, or the Stormwater staff in our
Wilmington Regional Office [phone].

Hi Linda,
Ok - so what I am hearing is is that you are going to issue the NOV...
and I hear what you are -saying about the permits - it is frustrating.
If you feel it meets the reasons/criteria below - we can ask them to
apply under an individual permit. - although this is pretty rare that we
do this. However - after they apply this may take a while - as our
backlog for individual permits is pretty long. But if you think we need
to write an individual permit we can do that.
Samar went to a FedEx in Hickory today and left me a message: saying that
their washing service had a contract with one to dispose of at a WWTP -
could this be part of their compliance? Whatever happens - obviously
FedEx Corporate needs to be responsible for the actions that are
happening at each site.

John,
Thanks for your thoughts. They are worthwhile. Just to give some
background on this. . since we were likely to give them a NCG080
permit . . and we have a lot of other Fed Ex facilities using this
same method of handling cosmetic washing. . an NOD seemed appropriate
to get them to put in a system that will work: long term. We will be
issuing a permit for activities at these sites that would contravene
water quality standards when they discharge. Ultimately we need to
get them to come up with a system that will not be based upon "we
promise not to discharge to the nearby stormdrains". Another one we
have is a ready mix facility that never put in any treatment basins
for their mixing drum wastewater or stormwater runoff. We had to
permit them because we had inadvertently had the permit for over a
year or so and we felt obligated to go ahead and issue. So, in that
case, going in and issuing an NOV for a permit we issued knowing the
discharges couldn't meet the permit requirements seemed to me like it
is indicating we permitted something we shouldn't have. At any rate.
We're having fun, it's all good. We'll reissue NOV's as soon as I get
dug out down here.
I could use some input on MRS Inc. . if you or Shelton can call me
about this one, I'd sure appreciate it. Given I haven't done many
enforcements for WQ violations, this one is likely tricky and Ed
informed me they have some high power lawyers involved. So, when you
get a chance please? Next week I won't have time to work on anything
since we are moving files on Monday and potentially Tues. and
Wed -Friday I'm in Raleigh.
Thanks.

For what is it worth, I think an NOV is warranted. How are they
deficient? What are they deficient on? They don't have a permit.
They do have a violation, however. Also, I know that management
does not approve of NODS. They know that they are still used
sometimes. But, I know they are uncomfortable with them.
Obviously, it is your call. But, those are my thoughts for what it
is worth.
As to the permit issues. What we were discussing yesterday was
whether we could, or should, withhold a permit based on
non-compliance by a permittee. The short answer is we can. But,
we shouldn't use it except in extreme circumstances, and would
require discuss with upper management. What you are discussing in
this situation is issuing, or denying, the permit based on its
merits. That is a very different issue. The permit should always
be judged on its own merits and decisions made accordingly. Well,
that is my thoughts on the subject. Do with them what you will. I
hope they helped. But, somehow, I suspect they didn't. I

Hi Jen,
I won't issue an NOV. I sent a notice of deficiency, Ed beck
(my supervisor} was in agreement that a notice of deficiency
would be the best way to proceed. I did visit with him on this
one before sending the notice. I think under the circumstances,
we shouldn't issue a permit for a site that does not have a good
plan for handlina this vehicle washing activity. Since it
sounds like we have many of these fed ex sites that are not well
equipped to handle their "cosmetic washing operations" we need
to either impose the requirement to tap into a sanitary sewer or
send their vehicles elsewhere for cosmetic washing. Or we are
forced to trust that: they won'L be pumping these wash bays to
stormdrains.
Ed, would you like to weigh in?

Hey Linda,
I spoke to Jahn Hennessy about this site and their discharge
of truck: washing water directly to the storm drain. He told
me this would be a violation and believes you should issue
one to them - he said that he and Shelton Sullivan here can
help you with that if you would like.
In terms of issuing the permit -- it is rare that we would not
issue a permit to someone that may have a stormwater
violation - although apparently it has been done before.
I think how to proceed would be to issue the NOV - perhaps
after you tall: with the Compliance group in case I am missing
something here? - and I will issue them their permit.
I don't believe we send very many letters of deficiency now -

Ok - sounds good. It does sound like she's saying they
are covering the SW drain and capturing runoff at the
moment - but are you concerned about the long term? I
agree with your comments if they are hauling it - and
even if they had access to municipal systems they MS
might not want it and/or might ask them do to some kind
of pretreatment... sounds like pump and haul would be
their best bet.

some kind of recycle system that over time gets

Jennifer,
OK to issue this permit. I went out to the site
and asked about the vehicle washing. fed ex is
washing approx 25 vehicles a week at their site.
They have a contract mobile unit that covers the
SW drain and captures the runoff. They were in
the process of paving a side lot with no SW
drains and will move the mobile washing there
when complete.

Dear Rose,
We've received an NOI from Fedex Ground. in
Winston. -Salem (Forsyth County) for coverage of
their small package distribution center under
NCGO8 (Transportation SW permit). The site
discharges stormwater into a UT to Salem Creek
(C). The NOT is attached.
They did state on their NOI that they were
doing some "cosmetic vehicle washing". If you
have a chance to go out there could you try to
see that and/or ask them about that - it is
not included under our SW permit but would
like to know if it is very minor or if they
are doing it all the time and where it is
going etc.
Does the Winston-Salem Regional Office have
any concerns about issuing this facility a COC

John,
Thanks for your thoughts. They are worthwhile. Just to give some background on
this. . since we were likely to give them a NCGO80 permit . . and we have a lot of
other Fed Ex facilities using this same method of handling cosmetic washing. . an NOD
seemed appropriate to get them to put in a system that will work long term. We will
be issuing a permit for activities at these sites that would contravene water quality
standards when they discharge. Ultimately we need to get them to come up with a
system that will not be based upon "we promise not to discharge to the nearby
stormdrains". Another one we have is a ready mix facility that never put in any
treatment basins for their mixing drum washwater or stormwater runoff. We had to
permit them because we had inadvertently had the permit for over a year or so and we
felt obligated to go ahead and issue. So, in that case, going in and issuing an NOV
for a permit we issued knowing the discharges couldn't meet the permit requirements
seemed to me like it is indicating we permitted something we shouldn't have. At any
rate. We're having fun, it's all good. We'll reissue NOV's as soon as I get dug out
down here.
I could use some input on MRS Inc. . if you or Shelton can call me about this one,
I'd sure appreciate it. Given I haven't done many enforcements for WQ violations,
this one is likely tricky and Ed informed me they have some high power lawyers
involved. So, when you get a chance please? Next week 1 won't have time to work on
anything since we are moving files on Monday and potentially Tues. and Wed -Friday I'm
in Raleigh.
Thanks.

For what is it worth, I think an NOV is warranted. How are they deficient? What
are they deficient on? They don't have a permit. They do have a violation,
however. Also, I know that management does not approve of NODS. They know that
they are still used sometimes. But, I know they are uncomfortable with them.
Obviously, it is your call. But, those are my thoughts for what it is worth.
As to the permit issues. What we were discussing yesterday was whether we could,
or should, withhold a permit based on non-compliance by a permittee. The short
answer is we can. But, we shouldn't use it except in extreme circumstances, and
would require discuss with upper management. What you are discussing in this
situation is issuing, or denying, the permit based on its merits. That is a very
different .issue. The permit should always be judged on its own merits and
decisions made accordingly. Well, that is my thoughts on the subject. Do with
them what you will. I hope they helped. But, somehow, I suspect they didn't. I
apologize if they didn't.

I Hi Jen,
I won't issue an NOV. I sent a notice of deficiency, Ed beck (my supervisor)
was in agreement that a notice of deficiency would be the best way to proceed.
I did visit with him on this one before sending the notice. I think under the
circumstances, we shouldn't issue a permit for a site that does not have a good
plan for handling this vehicle washing activity. Since it sounds like we have
many of these fed ex sites that are not well equipped to handle their "cosmetic
washing operations" we need to either impose the requirement to tap into a
sanitary sewer or send their vehicles elsewhere for cosmetic washing. Or we
are forced to trust that they won't be pumping these wash bays to stormdrains.
Ed, would you like to weigh in?

Hey Linda,
I spoke to John Hennessy about this site and their discharge of truck
washing water directly to the storm drain. He told me this would be a
violation and believes you should issue one to therzt - he said teat he and
Shelton Sullivan here can help you with that if you would like.
in terms of issuing the permit - it is rare that we would not issue a permit
to someone that may have a stormwater violation - although apparently it has
been done before.
I think how to proceed would be to issue the NOV - perhaps after you talk
with the Compliance group in case I am missing something here? - and I will
issue them their permit.
I don't believe we send very many letters of deficiency now - especially to
an organization that does not have a permit yet. 'John - *could you address
this and let me know if Linda sends me the letter if I should proceed with
sending it on -o EedEx corporate if we are going to /also /issue an NOV?
*All '- Let me know if you agree with how to handle this...
Thanks for your help and doing such a good job Linda!

Ok - sounds good. It does sound like she's saying they are covering
the SW drain and capturing runoff at the moment - but are you
concerned about the long term? I agree with your comments if they are
hauling it - and even if they had access to municipal systems they MS
might not want it and/or might ask them do to some kind of
pretreatment... sounds like pump and haul would be their best bet.
I'll talk to Rose and let you 'Know what she says. If Ed says anythina
about it can you let me know?
You always do such a thorough job - thanks Linda!!

Seems risky to believe they are covering the storm drain, we've
made facilities put in discharge to municipal systems. This
particular facility as well as Rose's (likely) won't have access to
municipal systems. I'd think they would be required to put in some
kind of recycle system that over time gets pumped out and hauled
off for proper disposal. I'll have to talk to Ed Beck about how we
should proceed.
Thanks for the heads up.
