In accordance with your request, Certificate of Coverage Number NCS000085 is rescinded effective immediately, Operating a treatment racility, discharging wastewater or discharging specific types of stormwater to waters of the State without valid coverage under an NPDES permit will subject the responsible party to a civil penalty of up to $25,000 per day. It is the intention of DWQ that enforcement proceedings will occur for persons that have voluntarily relinquished permit coverage when, in fact. continuing permit coverage was necessary. If, in retrospect, you feet the site still requires permit coverage, you should notify this office immediately. Furthermore, if in the future you wish to again discharge to the State's surface waters, you must first apply for and receive a new NPDES permit. 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 Boyd Devane at (919) 807-6373, or the Water Quality staff in our Winston-Salem Regional Office at NPDES SW.

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) showing: the site property boundary, the stormwater discharge outfalls, 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, direction of flow in each drainage area, 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 spi I I impacts. Pala 11 PPage I of 10 Permit No. NCS000085 (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. The permitter shall re -certify annually that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. 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 inc6rporale 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 ofexposure 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 tile 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. (c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management Practices (BMP) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs shall be based 'on the assessment of the potential -for sources to contribute significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The 13Mt' Summary shall include a written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation ofthe selected site BMPs. The 13MP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually. fart I Page 2 of 10 Permit No. NCS000085 3. Spill Prevention and Response Plan.

Facility personnel (or the team) responsible for implementing the SPRP shall be identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and dated by each individual acknowledging their responsibilities for the plan. 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 Spill 'Prevention Control and Countermeasure plan (SIICC) 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 and good housekeeping program shall be developed. The program shall list all stormwater control systems, stormwater discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial activity areas (including material storage areas, material handling areas, disposal areas. process hreas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads), all drainage features and structures, and existing structural BMPs. The program shall establish schedules of inspections, maintenabee, and housekeeping activities of stormwater control systems, as well as facility equipment, facility areas, and facility systems that present a potential for stormwater exposure or stormwater pollution. Inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program. Timely compliance with the established schedules for inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping shall be recorded in writing and maintained in the SPPP. 5, Employee Training. 'braining programs shall be developed and training provided at a minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill response and cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for 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, and their annual training shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained. 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 flan. 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. All aspects of 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. Each annual update shall include a re-evaluation of the Pan 11 Page 3 of 10 Permit No. NCS000085 effectiveness of the BMPs listed in the BMP Summary of the Stormwater Management Plan. The Director may notify the permittee when the Plan does not meet one or more of the minimum requirements ol'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 Ill, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 5) to the Director that the changes have been made. 8. facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur as part of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a minimum on a semi-annual schedule, once during the first half of the year (January to Junc), 'and once during the second half (.Iuly to December), with at least 60 days separating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently than semi-annually). "These facility inspections are di fferent from, and in addition to, the stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring required in Part 1111 and C of this permit. 9. Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Plan. - Implementation of the Plan shall include documentation of all monitoring, meas'irements, 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. Part I I Page 4 of 10 Permit No. NCS440085 SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1. All i analytical monitoring shall be performed during a representative storm event. The required monitoring will result in a minimum of ten analytical samplings being conducted over the torn of the permit 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.

DWQ may, but is not limited to: • Require that the permittee increase or decrease the monitoring frequency for the remainder of the permit; • require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls; • require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures; or • require that the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for the No Exposure 1---xClusion. This site discharges.to impaired waters experiencing problems with biological integrity. if a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is approved for this segment of Little Troublesome Creek, the permittee may be required to monitor for the pollutant(s) of concern in the future and submit results to the Division of Water Quality. The Division will consider the monitoring results in determining whether additional BMPs are needed to control the pollutant(s) of concern to the maximum extent practicable. If additional BMPs are needed to achieve the required level of control, the permittee will be required to (1) develop a strategy for implementing appropriate BMPs, and (2) submit a timetable for incorporation bf�those BMI's into the permitted Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. Part I Page 8 of 10 Permit No. NCS000085 SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of representative outfall status and shall be performed as specified in Table 4, concurrently with the analytical monitoring event. Qualitative monitoring is for the purpose of evaluating the effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and assessing new sources of stormwater pollution.

Ron Boone of -the Winston-Salem Regional Office of the' NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ) conducted a compliance evaluation inspection (CEI) at the subject facility on 28 May 2009., The assistance and cooperation of Mr. Roger Horton was greatly appreciated. An inspection checklist is attached for your records and the inspection findings are summarized below. 2. The facility is located at 208 Watlington Industrial Drive, in Reidsville, Rockingham County, North. Carolina.' The water body located closest to the site is an unnamed tributary to Little Troublesome Creek, which is currently classified as Class C, nutrient -sensitive waters (NSW) in the Cape Fear River basin. Mr. Boone last inspected the facility in September 2008. Sifp Rpvipw 3. Inspection of the site revealed that Clean Harbors has eliminated all Stormwater Discharge Outfalls (SDO) from the site as detailed below: a. A large field is located on the east side of the main site. This field receives the majority of drainage from the industrial areas of the site. Mr. Boone identified three SDOs within the field during the 2008 inspection, which were formed through natural erosion. Since then, Clean Harbors has reestablished a sheetflow condition through extensive groundwork and reestablishment of vegetation in the field. All SDOs previously located in this field have effectively been eliminated. b. Drainage from the west side of the main site is achieved through three stormwater catcht basins (CB) located in the employee parking lot. These CBs drain the employee. parking areas" and take on some roof drainage. Clean Harbors has removed all industrial activity from these drainage areas and thereby eliminated the CBs as SDOs.

The lower trailer storage yard, located south of the main facility, is now used to store only empty semi trailers and some semi trailers used for storage of historical company documents. No industrial activity occurs in the lower trailer storage yard, therefore, previously identified outfalls from the area have been eliminated as SDOs. d. The rail car loading area contains a French Drain, which drains to a wooded area immediately to the south. After much consideration of Mr. Horton's assertions that this area never produces a discharge through the French Drain, primarily due to the large size of the French Drain, and the fact that the closest water body is located at least 550 feet from the end of the discharge pipe, the discharge from this area and the French Drain is also eliminated as an SDO. Therefore, all previously identified SDOs have been eliminated as described above and the individual NPDES stormwater permit NCS000085 is no longer required. Clean Harbors should request rescission of the permit through DWQ's Stormwater Permitting Unit (SPU) in Raleigh. Please draft a letter requesting rescission of the permit and send it to the following address: NC DENR-DWQ Wetlands and Stormwater Branch Stormwater Permitting Unit 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Attn: Robert Patterson 4.

I'lle Clean l-lal'boi's lZeldsville facility has been and will contlllUe to do everything necessary to make SIII'e the water that leaves the site does so In it responsible and compliant 1-ashion. Clean I'larboi's has had Mr. Ron Boone to conic back to Reidsville site to help consult On ways to accomplish this. Many of tllc steins that WCI'C documented in the inspection elated September 29, 2008 were items that WCI'e previously not identified by NCDI-NR inspectors, NCDWQ inspectors or Clean Harbors facility personnel despite ongoing inspections. Inflective November 1, 2008, facility operations will effectively cease. There will be limited storage and transportation activities. The loading activities involving drum waste and the limited storage occurs under roof and is not exposed to stormwater. ']'here will also be continued loading activities on the rail spur. The loaning activities Ott the rail have BMP's in place including tents over pumps and catch pans under potential spill points. There is currently it French drain that services the gravel lot in the rail area. I,llls drain directs water away from the graveled rail area and to an area hear the center of, the property On the West of, the road leading to the South Yard. It then sheet flows off the site till-ou11h a densely wooded area to the West of'the road. All issues with the documentation, monitoring and site are addressed below in it format that is similar to the NCDWQ letter dated September 29"', 2008. Mr. Boone was extremely helpful in this latest visit and gave the facility some good suggestions to help Address these issucs. to"People and Technology Creating a Better Environment" L1 Mr. Steve W. Tedder October 25, 2008 ]"age 2 of 3 Documentation & Monitoring Review as Well as Action Plan: 3. alb IndividLlal drainage areas for each SDO will be delineated on the site neap as well as adding latitudes/longitudes for each outfall. c/d Annual SP3 reviews and spill team Updates will continue. 4. Clean Harbors will continue to perform semi-annual qualitative monitoring as required Lender the current perllllt. 5. There is currently minimal industrial activity on the site with very little risk of� storm water contamination. Once the shredder operation is discontinued in mid November, the only activity that would possibly be exposed to stormwater is the liquids rail loading. 6. Clean Harbors appr'cclates the recognition in having a clean, well Maintained site. 7. a. It is Clean Harbors contention that this area as well as CBI and C132 have no industrial exposure and would respectfully request that no analytical Sampling be required. b/c. The East portion of the permitted site is currently undergoing maintenance and this area well alSO have n0 exposure t0 ]]ldllstrlal activity. Once the maintenance is complete, the facility will invite Mr. Boone back to evaluate the area. Clean Harbors will ov,r-seed the existing vegetation to the grass swales and to the entire area along with some fill dirt. Check dams will be repositioned nearer to the center of the site and areas of erosion will me filled if necessary and re -seeded. d. This conveyance will be mitigated by grading and adding fill dirt to the area. Once completed, the area will sheet flow to the North and then to the Last off the site. C. The french drain is required at present in order to keep the rail loading area properly maintained. The drain comes out 5 feet to. the West of the gravel road and — 15 sect G-orll the SOLltil side of the fence. Any water front the drain area sheet flows to the West thl'OLIgh a densely wooded area approximately 300 feet from the edge of the facility property linc. f-Ii. Soon after the end of October, the areas to the South of'the rail area will not have any industrial activity. Clean Harbors will however perform ongoing maintenance to the stormwater controls currently in place on the property to the SOLIth of the permitted fence line. Above in items 3 thl-augh 7 are the items included in the action plan. Clean Harbors Intends to have all maintenance to identified areas complete by March 31, 2009. If maintenance is completed earlier, the facility will notify Mr. Ron Boone and schedule a time for hint to come evaluate the areas. If it is determined that it will take longer based on weather conditions or unforeseen changes at the site, this will also be co111municate.d to Mr. Ron Boone. Mr. Steve W.

Please review the draft very carefully to ensure thorough -understanding of .the conditions and requirements it contains. The draft permit contains the following significant changes from this facility's current permit: Analytical monitoring_ changes: 7. Analytical monitoring parameters have been added to this permit. "These include Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), and pH. This monitoring must be done at all outfalls unless representative outfall status has been granted. A site visit by the Winston-Salem Regional Office an September 23, 2008 revealed that there were additional outfalls (total of 9 outfalls) that would need to be monitored and further identified on your updated SPPP. 2. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi: -annually during a representative storm event as defined in Part Il Section B. The permittee must also document the total precipitation for each event. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee,must submit a monitoring report indicating "No Flow" within 30 days of the end of the six-month sampling period. Additionally, samples must be taken a minimum of 60 days apart, as specified in Table 2. 3. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring have been added to this draft permit. Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. If the sampling results are above a, benchmark value, or` outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at any outfall then the facility shall follow the Tier 1 guidelines which require a facility inspection within two weeks and implementation of a mitigation plan within two months. If during the term of this permit, the sampling results are above the benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall two times in a row (consecutive), then the facility shall follow the Tier 2 guidelines which require a repetition of the steps listed for Tier 1 and also immediately institute monthly monitoring for all parameters at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples. 4. You are required to collect A of the analytical'and qualitative monitoring samples during representative storm events as defined in Part 11 Section B. Qualitative monitoring is required regardless of representative outfall status. 5. You are responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote I of Tables 1, 4, and 5.

The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall parameter is in this permit, however.) 7. Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with analytical and qualitative monitoring. This requirement appears in all Individual Stormwater permits, however it only applies to facilities that do vehicle maintenance. If the facility begins vehicle maintenance during the permitted timeframe then the requirements shall apply. Other permit chap eg_s. 1. Additional guidance is provided about the Site Plan requirements. The site map must now identify if the receiving stream is impaired and if it has a TMDL established. It must also describe potential pollutants in each outfall. The map requirements are stated more explicitly. And, the site plan must contain a list of significant spills that have occurred in the past three years and also must certify that the outfalls have been inspected to ensure that they do not contain non-stormwater discharges. Additional information is provided in Part II Section A. 2. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Management PIan have been specified in Part II Section A. More details regarding secondary containment are provided. 3. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been specified in Part 11 Section A. The plan must also be updated annually to include a list of significant spills and to certify that the outfalls do not contain non-stormwater discharges. 4. The facility must now implement a semi-annual Facility Inspection Program of the site's stormwater management controls as specified in Part II Section A. 5. Information regarding the No Exposure Exclusion has been added to this draft permit. If industrial materials and activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described in 40 CFR §12226(g), the facility may qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES stormwater discharge permit requirements. Additional information is provided in Part I Section A. Please submit any comments to me no later than thirty (30) days following your receipt of the draft. Comments should be sent to the address listed at the bottom of this page. If no adverse comments are received from the public or from you, this permit will likely be issued in about two months.

Rockingham County Dear Mr. Anderson: Michael F. Easley, Governor William G. Ross Jr.. Secretary North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Colecn H. Sullins, Director Division of Water Quality 1. Ron Boone of the Winston-Salem Regional Office of the NC Division of Water Quality (DWO) conducted a compliance evaluation inspection (CEI) at the subject facility on 23 September 2008. The assistance and cooperation of Roger Horton, Environmental Compliance Manager, was greatly appreciated. An inspection checklist is attached for your records and the inspection findings are summarized below. 2. The facility is located at 208 Watlington Industrial Drive, in Reidsville, Rockingham County, North Carolina. According to our database records, the facility currently discharges stormwater to Little Troublesome Creek, which is currently classified as Class WS-I11 (water supply), NSW (nutrient sensitive water), water in the Roanoke River Basin. Documentation & Monitoring Review 3. The only discrepancies noted in the stormwater pollution prevention plan (SP3) were: a. Individual drainage areas for each SOO were not delineated on site map. b. General location map did not list latitudes/longitudes for each outfall, C. Permittee needs to begin annual SP3 reviewslupdates and have responsible party recertify it annually after the review/update. d. Update the Pollution Prevention and Spill Team lists (one listed person no longer works there). 4. Permittee currently performs semi-annual qualitative monitoring at two stormwater discharge outfalls (SOO), CB "A" and CB 18". All required monitoring for these two SDOs is complete and kept on file. 5. Permittee is not currently required to perform any analytical monitoring. Site Review 6. The site was clean and well maintained. The two existing identified SDOs were inspected and no evidence of adverse affects of stormwater discharges were detected. 7. The site inspection did reveal additional SDOs, which must be monitored. These SDOs are listed below. Rease refer to attachments #1 and #2. a. 001: This is a third C8 located in the southern half of the employee parking lot, which should also be considered an SOO. The three CBs in the parking lot take on drainage from the parking lot, roof and a limited amount of runoff from exposed industrial drainage areas on the western side of the facility. b. 002: Located in the northeastern corner of the northern main site. It appears to take on drainage from the west and south. It consists of a 12" black plastic corrugated drainage pipe, a shallow Swale, which is not well defined, North Carolina Division of Water Quality 585 Waugbtown Street Winston Salem, NC 27107 Phone (336) 771-5000 Intemel: nmalerquality.org FAX (336)771-4630 An Equal OpportunitylAtSrmaWe Action Employer — 50% Recycled110% Post Consumer Paper None Ili ; olina J�rrt�rrrr!!y Custorner Service 1-877-623-6748 Mr. Keith Anderson 29 September 2008 Page 2 and some riprap. c. 003: Located on the eastern edge of the northern main site. It appears to take on drainage from the west. It consists of a shallow but well-defined swale, some riprap and what appears to be the remnants of an old rock check dam. d. 004: Located near the southeastern corner of the northern main site. It appears to take on drainage from the west and south. It consists of a shallow but well-defined swale, some riprap and a rock check dam. e_ 005: Located in the wooded area just south of the rail car loading area, this is an outlet pipe for a French drain that drains the rail car loading area. f. 006 & 007: These two outfalls are on the connecting road between the northern main site and the southern trailer storage yard. They are erosion features, 006 on the west side of the road and 007 on the east side of the road. Drainage from these two outfalls may combine in the drainage feature on the west side of the road via a drainage pipe installed under and across the road, near where the road transitions into the trailer storage yard. g. 008: Is an erosion feature on the west side of the southern trailer storage lot. It receives part of the drainage from the lot. h. 009: Is an erosion feature on the southeast corner of the southern trailer storage lot_ It receives part of the drainage from the lot. There is also an. old sedimentation basin in this corner of the lot, presumably installed during the clearing of the lot. The permittee may be able to use the outlet of the basin as the SOO. Clean Harbors will need to perform more investigation and study to determine the exact locations of each of the SDOs. A site survey may be required and some site work may be necessary to provide better sampling opportunities at some of the SDOs. Once the location of each SOO is finalized, your SP3 will need to be updated. 8. This inspection was performed, in part, to verify sight conditions for ongoing permit renewal actions. It is imperative that the SDOs be conclusively defined as soon as possible to facilitate the renewal process. Please notify this office immediately once a follow-up site visit can be accomplished to review the SDO locations. 9. Please be aware that the Division may assess civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day, per violation for failure to comply with the requirements of NCS000085. Please reply to this letter in writing within 30 business days of receiving it. We should receive your response no later than 30 October 2008. Your response should include an action plan and implementation schedule for the correction of those issues listed above in paragraphs 3 and 7. 10. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact Mr, Boone or me at (336) 771-5000. Sin rely, te5 ve W.

On site inspection on 23 September 2008 revealed several other SDOs beyond those currently identified and monitored by the permittec, as summarized below. The drainage features that surround the facility and convey site drainage to unnamed tributaries to Little Troublesome Creek are shown on attachment 41; red arrows indicate direction of flow. Attachment #2 shows approximate locations of additional SDOs identified during the inspection, labeled 001 through 009. a. 001: This is a third CB located in the southern half of the employee parking lot, which should also be considered an SDO. The three CBs in the parking lot take on drainage from the -parking lot, roof and a limited amount of runoff from exposed industrial drainage areas on the western side of the facility. b. 002: Located in the northeastern corner of the northern main site.

It appears to take on drainage from the west and south. It consists of a shallow but well-defined swale, some riprap and a rock check dam. C. 005: Located in the wooded area just south of the rail car loading area, this is an outlet pipe for a French drain that drains the rail car loading area. f. 006 & 007: These two outfalls are on the connecting road between the northern main site and the southern trailer storage -yard. They are erosion features, 006 on the west side of the road and 007 on the, east side of the road. Drainage from these two outfalls may combine in the drainage feature on the west side of the road via a drainage pipe installed under and across the road, near where the road transitions into the trailer storage yard. g. 008: is an erosion feature on the west side of the southern trailer storage lot. It receives part of the drainage from the lot. h. 009: Is an erosion feature on the.southeast corner of the southern trailer storage lot. It receives part of the drainage from the lot. There is also an old sedimentation basin in this corner of the lot, presumably installed during the clearing of the lot. The permittee may be able to use the outlet of the basin as the SDO. Final definition of outfalls will take more investigation and study by the permittee. A site survey may be required and some site work may be necessary to provide better sampling opportunities at same of the SDOs. Pennittee may be able to justify Representative Outfall Status (ROS) for some of the outfalls. 9. There were several other observations made during the inspection as listed below: a. The site is not primarily sheet flow. Most drainage leaves the site via the SDOs listed above. b. The site has extensive secondary containment, as required by RCRA, for hazardous wastes stored primarily in 55-gallon drums. These storage areas are mostly covered. However, as stated in paragraph 42 of the CO Review Summary, incidental movement of materials around the site is not covered and this is the point during operations at which the materials are most likely to be spilled in exposed areas outside of RCRA containment. This is the most likely source of stonnwater pollution. The pennittee's statement, that the only pollutant source on site is the parked employee's vehicles, is inaccurate. c. The semi trailer storage area lot, located to the south of the main facility, is not covered. Both empty trailers and trailers loaded with hazardous waste materials are stored in the lot. d. The rail car loading area is also not covered and has a French drain that outlets to the drainage feature located between the main site to the north and the trailer storage lot to the south, to the west of the connecting road. 10. The proposed analytical monitoring requirements are logical given the permittee's line of work. 11. Permittee will have to update the stormwater pollution prevention plan (SP3), general location map and site map once all outfalls have been definitely determined. The only SP3 discrepancies noted during the inspection were: a. Individual drainage areas for each SDO were not delineated on site map. b. General location Snap did not list latitudes/longitudes for each outfa.11. c. Permittee needs to begin annual SP3 reviews/updates and have responsible party recertify it annually after the review/update. d. Update the Pollution Prevention and Spill Team lists (one listed person no longer works there). 12. Final Recommendation: Permit may be issued now with the proposed changes unless it is necessary to wait until all SDOs are conclusively defined. Attachments: 1. Topographic Map 2.

Owner's Other Pernlits: • RCRA Part B Permit 2. General Observations: Majority of facility is inside buildings including trailer storage area, truck unloading, and USTs. Incidental transport and movement of materials around the site is not covered. The rail car unloading area is also not covered. Permittee states in renewal application package that "Parked employee vehicles or trucks (without waste) are the only contributors of contaminants". 3. Impairment; The receiving stream, Little Troublesome Creek is impaired for biological integrity. This creek is divided into two segments, 16-7(a) and 16-7(b) which are separated by the WWTP. The WWTP location is unknown, but both (a) and (b) are impaired. The 2005 Cape Fear River Basinwide Plan indicates that increased Page 3 -of 6 NCS000085 impervious surfaces have caused habitat degradation and turbidity issues. Agriculture and road construction are also listed as causes of habitat degradation. MS4s are believed to cause fecal coliform contamination. A WART' study identified toxicity, and organic enrichment from storm sewers and runoff as the primary biological community stressors. The Local Watershed Plan indicates that a significant portion of the buffer has been disturbed in the watershed. DWQ developed a fecal coliform TMDL for the creek that required a 40% reduction n fecal loading. NCEEP staff are working with locals to begin design and construction of stream preservation efforts along this creek. 4. Threatened and Endangered: No ,r&E present 5. Industrial Changes Since Previous Permit: Significantly increase use of the rail spur. 6. Analytical Monitoring Notes: No analytical monitoring was required in the previous permit. 7. Qualitative Monitoring Notes: Most of the monitoring was done during dry weather. In the May 10, 2007 letter, DWQ told the permittee that they had to sample during a storm. Reiterate this fact in the cover letter of the permit. Revised Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring: 1. COD, pH, and TSS have been added to the analytical monitoring requirements. 2. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as defined in Part Il Section B. The permittee must also document the total precipitation for each event. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating "No Flow" within 30 days of the end of the six-month sampling period. Additionally, samples must be taken a minimum of 60 days apart, as specified in Table 2. 3, Benchmarks for analytical monitoring have been added to this draft permit. Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Hest Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. If the sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at any outfall then the facility shall follow the "Pier 1 guidelines which require a facility inspection within two weeks and implementation of a mitigation plan within two months. If during the term of this permit, the sampling results are above the benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall two times in a row (consecutive), then the facility shall follow the Tier 2 guidelines which require a repetition of the steps listed for Tier 1 and also immediately institute [monthly monitoring for all parameters at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples. 4. The permittee is required to collect all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during representative storm events as defined in Part Il Section B. Qualitative monitoring is required regardless of representative outfall status. 5. The permittee is responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote 1 of Tables 1, 4, and 5. 6. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall parameter is in this permit, however.) 7. Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with analytical and qualitative monitoring. Other Proposed Changes to the Previous Permit: Additional guidance is provided about the Site Plan requirements. The site map must now identify if the receiving stream is impaired and if it has a TMDL established. It must also describe potential pollutants in each outfall. The trap requirements are stated more explicitly. And, the site plan must contain a list of significant spills that have occurred in the past three years and also must certify that the outfalls have been inspected to ensure that they do not contain non-stormwater discharges. Additional information is provided in Part ll Section A. Page 4 of 6 NCS000085 2. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Management Plan have been specified in Part II Section A. More details regarding secondary containment are provided. 3. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been specified in Part 11 Section A. The plan must also be updated annually to include a list of significant spills and to certify that the outfalls (10 not contain non -stor nwater..discharges. . 4. The facility must now implement a semi-annual Facility Inspection Program of the site's stormwater management controls as specified in fart II Section A. 5. Information regarding the No Exposure Exclusion has been added to this draft permit If industrial materials and activities arc 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. Additional information is provided in fart I Section A. Discussions with permiltee: Roger Horton, 336-361-6132, August 4, 2008 1. SIC code'? ANSWER: 7392 primary, 4953 secondary 2.

The facility operates under a RCRA Part B Contingency Plan that has the goal of preventing releases of toxics from the facility. The SWPPP 'I'cam includes representatives responsible for executing both the SWI'PP and the Contingency flan. This organizational linkage of Teams and Plans allows Clean Harbors to maintain the communications processes necessary for the Plans to accomplish the common goal without unnecessary and inefficient duplication of efforts. 4.1 Good Housekeeping Good housekeeping is the maintenance of an orderly work environment and contributes to the overall facility pollution control effort. Good housekeeping is achieved through a combination of periodic employee training, motivation, and significant management attention to details of keeping storage and workshop areas clean and orderly. Good housekeeping contributes to prevention of BMP incidents, but supports worker health and safety programs, eliminates waste, and generally prevents deterioration of company property'and equipment. Outdoor storage of wastes in tankers, trailers, and roll -offs is closely monitored. Inspections of storage buildings and outdoor tankers, trailers, and roll -offs are conducted on a daily and weekly. basis. Clean Harbors has adopted a High standard of good housekeeping in its storage and materials handling areas. Wastes are stored in designated areas with secondary containment and segregated according to chemical compatibility. The drums are kept clear from walkways. Floors in the work and storage areas are maintaincd in a clean and dry condition. Blind sumps are routinely inspected and cleaned, as needed. 4.2 Preventive Maintenance Program An effective Preventive Maintenance Program is an important aspect of any BMP control system.. Well maintained and inspected equipment is less likely to cause problems that result in accidents. Clean Harbors has a preventive maintenance program that satisfies the overall needs of the BMA Program. The program specifically provides review of equipment in areas where potential discharges to the environment exist. In this case, the areas of' specific concern are the loading docks, waste storage buildings, roll -off storage areas, trailer parking areas, and tanker storage areas. When a determination is made that insufficient attention is being paid to any item involved in the storage or transport of the wastes, these deficiencies will be brought to the attention of the Pollution Prevention Team. 4.3 Spill Prevention and Response Because Clean Harbors operates under a RCRA Part 13 permit, comprehensive spill prevention and response procedures have been developed. 'These procedures are thoroughly discussed in the Part B Contingency Plan• The actions to be taken arc based on a proper assessment of the situation and will accomplish the following: • Secure life and limb • Contain the spill • Initiate clean-up activities • Minimize potential or existing environmental damages Emergency equipment is readily available at the facility to respond to fires, spills, and leaks. In addition, the facility has coordination agreements with local fire, health care, and emergency preparedness units. On -site equipment includes but is not limited to, the following: • Communications and alarm systems • Fire extinguishers • Personal protective equipment • Spill control equipment • Emergency showers and eyewash stations 4.4 Inspection and -Record Keeping Clean Harbors conducts daily and weekly facility operations inspections. Inspection Lags are maintained and become part of the overall record -keeping program. Inspections are conducted of the following areas: • Site security/access control devices • All waste storage areas • All waste loading/unloading areas • Emergency equipment stores • Spill response equipment stores Inspection Logs will be reviewed by- the SWPPP Team during Site Compliance Evaluations (see Section 5. 1) to assess the potential of these areas to contaminate storm water. An example of the Clean Harbors Inspection Logs are included in Appendix B. 4.5 Sediment and Lrosion Control The facility topography is generally flat and primarily covered with grass. Sediment and erosion control is not a concern. The facility will be inspected periodically to assess sediment and erosion control in the future. 4.6 Managenient of Run-off dutfalls A and B are storm drains for the discharge of storm water leaving the facility. Discharge from outfalls is continuous during rainfall events. Parked employee vehicles or trucks (without waste) are the only contributors of contaminants. A drainage depression has been graded along the south security fence to channel run-off through riprap and disperse it across several hundred feet of grassy field. 4.7 Security Site security has proven to bean effective structural control used to minimize the unauthorized use or access of on -site equipment and operations. The Reidsville facility prevents unknowing entry and minimizes unauthorized entry of persons onto the active portions of the facility by a number of mechanisms. These mechanisms include structural controls such as perimeter fencing and controlled access. All operational employees wear uniforms to identify themselves as Clean Harbors employees. Al I authorized visitors and guests of the facility are required to register with the office and wear visitor badges while on site. The Clean Harbors policy is that -any authorized visitor must be accompanied by a Clean Harbors representative at all times while within the active portion of the facility, unless other arrangements have been made with facility management. This policy, along with the dress code, provides a method of immediate identification of individuals that are not authorized to be in the active portion of the facility, All employees are aware of the dress code and policy and have been instructed to confront, or report to their supervisors, individuals that appear to be at the facility without proper clearance or authorization. 4.7. I The Security System The facility Security Plan is comprised of a security system in conjunction with danger signs and facility -wide fencing that completely surround the active portions of the facility. The security system involves the controlled entry, at all times, of personnel and Vchrcular traffic to the active portions of the facility by limiting access into the active portion to authorized personnel and visitors. An additional aspect of the facility security system is the use of a 24-hour camcra surveillance system. The system has the ability to record and save information and can be queried for historic data. 4.7.2 Facility Fencing and Lighting Clean Harbors has constructed a fence that completely surrounds the currently active portions of the facility. All fencing at the facility has been designed and sized to secure areas against unauthorized entry and also to prevent unknowing entry. Facility lighting throughout the unloading area is sufficient to detect any leaks or spills during hours of darkness by facility personnel or local police, fire, and State emergency management personnel. Lighting is also adequate to determine and discourage vandalism, 4.8 Employee Training Initially, facility operations personnel receive 24-hour training for hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal (TSD) facility personnel as required at 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1910.120, Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response. Employees will not be allowed to work in unsupervised positions until they have completed this 24-11our training program. In addition to the 24-hour TSD training, operations personnel also receive spill response and operational procedures training to satisfy the requirements of the facility's RCRA Part 13 Permit and DOT Hazardous Materials Shipping and Transportation Training. Clean Harbors laboratory personnel are trained in the requirements of the facility's Chemical Hygiene Plan (CHP). The CHP is an operational requirement as outlined at 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 1910.145. All Operations employees receive, on an annual basis, eight hours of health and safety refresher training. This eight -hour refresher provides an overview of key topics presented in both the 24-hour training programs, and the other operational safety programs. In addition, personnel identified as members of the SWPPP Team will receive initial training to familiarize them with the contents and intentions of the SWPPP. Areas to be discussed include spill response, good housekeeping/plant cleanliness, and best management practices. Keith Anderson or his designee will be responsible for conducting this training. A continuing training program is an integral part of the company's training process. An initial introductory program will present the rules and procedures used at the facility to new employees. Operating, emergency, and safety procedures will constantly change due to new regulatory requirements, shifting operational emphasis, and improved and more efficient operating techniques. Therefore, it is an essential responsibility of Clean Harbors management to continually train its employees, as the need arises, in areas that affect the operation of the facility, At a ininimuni, employees will receive their training annually. Training records for members of t11c Pollution Prevention Team will be maintained by the Team Manages- or his designee.

The US EPA published storm water regulations on November 16, 1990, in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 40 CFR Part 122.26. The regulations require certain dischargers of storm water to waters of the United States to apply for NPDES permits. "Waters of the United States" is generally defined as surface waters, including lakes, rivers, streams, wetlands, and coastal waters. NPDES storm water discharge permits will allow the State and Federal agencies to track and monitor sources of storm water pollution. According to the November 16, 1990 final rule, facilities with a "storni water discharge associated with industrial activity" are required to apply for a storm water permit. Clean Harbors Reidsville, LLC (Clean Harbors) operates under a RCRA Part B Permit, is subject to Section I22.26(b)(14)(iv) of the regulations, and is required to apply for an NPDES permit for storm water. Clean Harbors satisfied NPDES permitting requirements for its facility in Reidsville, NC, through submission of an Individual Permit Application. This SWPPP is a "living document" since it will require periodic updates, addition of data, appending of reports, and other modifications. The SWPPP is to be revised within two weeks of each Site Compliance Evaluation, if it proves to be ineffective in controlling the discharge of pollutants. Clean Harbors must also amend this SWPPP whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, or maintenance that may impact the potential for pollutants to be discharged. Clean Harbors is not required to submit a notice to NCDENR each time the SWPPP is modified, unless NCDENR specifically requests changes to be made to the SWPPP. 1.2 Certification To document that this SWPPP is complete and adequately implemented, the Permit requires that an authorized facility representative sign and certify it. According to the Permit requirements, a responsible corporate officer is defined as: (1) a president, secretary, treasurer, or vice- president of the corporation in charge of a principal business function, or any other person who performs similar policy or decision -making functions for the corporation; or (2) the manager of one or more manufacturing, production, or operating facilities employing more than 250 persons. As a result, the responsible official must sign the certification on Page 1-4 for deeming this SWPPP as complete. 1-1 Revised 1218104 In addition, the Permit requires that the SWPPP include a certification that the site's outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non -storm water discharges. This has been incorporated into Table 4 located in Section 3.4, Non -Storm Water Discharge Assessment. 1.3 Facility Description The Clean Harbors Reidsville facility is a regional hazardous waste management facility authorized to operate under a RCRA Part B Permit. Clients include industries and waste generating sources such as hospitals, universities, manufacturing industries, research and development facilities, and government agencies. The types of wastes handled by Clean Harbors include all EPA hazardous waste and other hazardous substances not directly regulated by EPA. Services provided by Clean Harbors include generator interface such as waste profiling, waste sample analysis, disposal method and site selection, disposal vendor interface, manifest administration, and records retention. Clean Harbors chemists and other trained personnel assist with waste characterization, sampling, packaging, and manifest preparation. Clean Harbors vehicles are available for transporting wastes, and storage space is available for load consolidation. Clean Harbors also sells supplies such as containers and labels, and provides programs such as health monitoring, personnel protection and training, emergency response and remedial actions. Hazardous wastes are received in shipping containers and are stored, bulked or re -containerized in the warehouse, lab pack consolidation building, drum bulking/storage shed or containment areas of the dock and trailer containment building. The legal boundary for the Safety-Kleen facility is depicted on the site map. The property owned by Clean Harbors consists of two parcels. The parcel to the north contains the RCRA permitted facilities and is approximately 16 acres. The parcel to the south is other lands owned by Clean Harbors and contains approximately 9 acres that has a graveled lot. The property is bordered on the west side by Wallington Industrial Boulevard Drive and on the east side by a wooded buffer zone of about 100 feet between the facility and the US 29 Bypass. Wooded buffer zones border the north and south sides of the property. Clean Harbors is located in an area considered to be a light industry zone. The majority of the area immediately adjacent to the current structures of the facility is paved with asphalt and storm drainage will generally flow across the property in a southeast direction. Process and storage areas are curbed or elevated so there will be no run-on to these areas. The two outfalls collect rainwater principally from the employee parking lot on the west side of -the property. Contaminants may include oil and grease from motor vehicles. The location of loading and unloading areas is shown in Figure B-03. These bays are curbed and have floors that slope down to centrally -located blind containment sumps. Roof overhangs of at least 10 feet on these structures will prevent rainfall from collecting in the containment sumps in these structures. 1-2 Revised 12/8/04 CERTIFICATION "I certify under penalty of law that this document and all attachments were prepared under my direction or supervision in accordance with a system designed to assure that qualified personnel properly gathered and evaluated the information submitted. Based on my inquiry of the person or persons who manage the system, or those persons directly responsible for gathering the infomtation, the information submitted is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, true, accurate, and complete. am aware that there are significant penalties for submitting false information, including the possibility of fine and imprisonment for knowing violations". Name and Official Title Telephone Number Keith Anderson, General Manager (336) 342 6106 Signature: Date Signed: 1-3 Revised 1218104 SECTION 2 POLLUTION PREVENTION TEAM The Permit requires that each SWPPP identify a specific individual or individuals within the Organization as members of the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Team (Team). Designating a team to implement the SWPPP serves several purposes. Naming the individual or Team Members makes it clear that part of that person's job is to prevent storm water pollution. Identifying a specific individual or individuals also provides a point of contact for those outside the facility that may need to discuss aspects of the facility's SWPPP (e.g., regulatory officials). Effective organization is important for the Team to be able to accomplish the task of implementing and maintaining a comprehensive SWPPP. There are two important features in organizing a team of this nature: selecting the right individuals to serve on the Team and establishing good channels of communication. The Team will be the driving force behind the implementation, maintenance, and revision of the facility's SWPPP. Keith Anderson, Clean Harbors General Manager, will serve as the Team Manager and will be responsible for overseeing all aspects of the SWPPP, including maintaining of all records of inspections and revisions to the SWPPP. Records will be kept at the office of the Team Manager or his designee. The team's responsibilities include initial site assessment, identification of pollutant sources and risks, decision -making on appropriate Best Management Practices (BMPs), directing the actual implementation of the BMPs, and regular evaluations to measure the effectiveness of the SWPPP. To ensure that the SWPPP remains effective, the person or Team responsible for maintaining the SWPPP must be aware of any changes that are made in plant operations to assess the nature of those revisions. While a designated individual or team can be assigned the job of developing and implementing this SWPPP, facility management is ultimately responsible for the implementation of the SWPPP and for compliance with all applicable storm water requirements. Accordingly, the designated individual or Team must have a clear line of communication with facility management to ensure that they are able to function in a cooperative partnership. Team members will be specified to assist the Team Manager during inspections and ensuring that corrective actions are carried out, as necessary. All members of the Team will be familiar with the SWPPP Plan, adequately trained in its intentions (see Section 4.8), and committed to implementing storm water management controls outlined in this SWPPP. Table 1 lists the team members and their areas of responsibility at the facility. Additional members added to the SWPPP Team will also be listed in Table 1. It will be the responsibility of the SWPPP Team Leader to ensure new team members are trained in the purposes and requirements of the SWPPP, as specified in Section 4.8. 2.1 Revised 1218104 J TABLE POLLUTION PREVENTION TEAM ROSTER Name Facility/Team Responsibility Home Telephone Keith Anderson General Manager/BMP (336) 616-0398 Coordinator; assists with inspections Roger Horton Environmental Compliance (336) 939-7619 Specialist; ensures Team members are familiar with the SWPPP, assists with inspections and evaluations Dan Roblec Operations Manager; ensures (336) 616-1890 Team members are familiar with the SWPPP, assists with inspections and evaluations 2-2 Reviser} i 2!S/0.1 SECTION 3 DESCRIPTION OF POTENTIAL POLLUTION SOURCES The Permit requires that this SWPPP include a description of potential sources that may be reasonably expected to add significant amounts of pollutants to storm water discharges or that may result in the discharge of pollutants during dry weather from separate storm sewers draining the facility. This section of the SWPPP identifies all activities and significant materials that may be a source of contaminants to the storm water running off this site. 3.1 Site Map The Site Drainage Map contained in Appendix A will help team members assess where potential storm water pollutants are located, where pollutants could contaminate storm water, and where storm water leaves the site. The map specifically identifies features and areas of potential pollutant sources stick as: • Topography or site characteristics • Location of exposed significant materials • Locations of past spills and leaks • High -risk waste generating areas and activities common on industrial sites, such as: - Leading and unloading areas Waste management areas - Outside storage of wastes 3.2 Inventory of Exposed Materials The Pennit requires preparation of an inventory of materials that may be exposed to storm water at the site that includes a narrative description of the following: Significant materials that have been handled, treated, stored, or disposed of in a manner to allow exposure to storm water between the time of three years prior to the date of pernit issuance and the present • Method(s} and location of on -site storage or disposal Materials management practices employed to minimize contact of these materials with storm water run-off between the time of three years prior to the date of the issuance of the permit and the present 3-1 Ra viserll Y8/Od • Existing structural and non-structural control measures to reduce pollutants in storm water run-off, including their locations • Any treatment of storm water run-off Table 2 identifies those significant materials that have been exposed to stone water. These and other potential sources are discussed in the Section 3.5 of this Plan. 3.3 Record of Spills and Leaks There have been no significant leaks or spills of toxic or hazardous substances at the Reidsville facility, during the three years prior to the development of the original SWPPP. However, Clean Harbors is aware that such events are reportable occurrences and will be kept as part of this SWPPP, should they occur. Any spills or leaks that occur subsequent to this historical listing will be documented in accordance with the procedures described in Section 5.3 (Record keeping and Internal Reporting) and recorded on Table 3. 3.4 Non -Storm Water Discharge Assessment Outfalls A and B have been evaluated for the presence of non -storm water discharges. The certification for this evaluation is presented in Table 4. 3.5 Summary of Potential Pollutant Sources Because the waste loading, unloading, and storage areas have regularly scheduled inspections, are curbed, and not exposed to precipitation, the probability of pollutants contaminating storm water is small. Nevertheless, Clean Harbors goal is to minimize the chance of an unauthorized discharge of pollutants. For this reason, personnel must be made aware that all areas of the facility need to be considered as potential pollutant sources and avoid environmentally unsound practices at all times. The following summarizes potential pollutant sources and pollutants that could appear in run-off if a spill or leak should occur: Outdoor tractor and trailer parking areas that have the potential to release pollutants. Personnel Should be attentive to parking areas for over -the -road equipment, and note any evidence of diesel fuel, motor oil, or lubricants on paved and unpaved surfaces. Run-off may contain oil and grease or hydrocarbons, should a leak occur. • Outdoor trailer storage and roll -off storage of wastes. Personnel should inspect storage trailers and roll -offs daily when the facility is operating for evidence of leaks and/or spills. 3-2 Re viscid 12/8/04 • Outdoor, temporary bulk vehicle storage. Facility operations require bulk tankers and roll -offs to be parked on -site on a short-term basis. Personnel inspect bulk tankers/roll- offs/gondolas/rail tankers upon arrival for evidence of leaks and/or spills. Since Clean Harbors business is the management and treatment of wastes, many control measures are in place to prevent accidental or unplanned releases to the environment. Therefore, the risk of storm water contamination is low. 3-3 Revise(1121814 TABLE INVENTORY OF SIGNIFICANT MATERIALS EXPOSED TO STORM WATER Description/Location Quantity Management Practice Non -hazardous roll -off 20 to 50 yd 3 Impermeable tarps; daily container storage; North side inspections Outdoor trailer storage; Mobile trailers Fully enclosed trailers; various locations secured; daily inspections i 3-4 Revoed I A404 TABLE 3 LIST OF SIGNIFICANT SPILLS AND LEAKS (1991 - 2002) Date Description of Event Response Preventive Measures (location, materials, quantity, etc.) Sept. 1995 There have been no significant leaks or spills of hazardous substances in the previous three years. July 1997 50 gallons of sulfuric and phosphoric acid waste spilled onto the asphalt parking lot adjacent to the NE side of Building 2. March 2002 5-10 gallons of hydraulic fluid was pushed out of a rail used to move roll off box's. It spilled behind the warehouse in the vicinity of the rail spur. The contractors overflow tank had been overfilled. N/A Down sloped areas were bermed with clay absorbents to prevent run-off from the asphalt surfaces. Clay absorbents were used to collect any liquids from entire spill and area was decontaminated and later excavated. New asphalt was Placed in the exavated area. The spill was contained with oil dry and the residue was swept up. The area was again covered in oil dry and the residue was swept up. Finally, the area was pressure washed and again covered in oil dry and swept up. All contaminated residue was containerized and shipped off site for N/A Drums of free liquids will not be allowed to be transported across the parking lot unless a containment pan is used. In order to minimize future occurrences, SK personnel will be present and observe any subcontract transporters off loading rolloffs on our site. 3-5 Revised 1218104 TABLE 4 NON -STORM WATER DISCHARGE EVALUATION Evaluation Date Method Outfall ID Results Name of Evaluator Outfall A & B 9/28/95 Dry weather No discharge Jim Spigner observation Outfall A & B 3/28/96 Dry weather No discharge Todd Blake observation Outfall A & B 10/8/96 Wet weather No discharge Todd Blake observation Outfall A & B 4/27/97 Dry weather No discharge Todd Blake observation Outfall A & B 11/26197 Dry weather No discharge Todd Blake observation Outfall A & B 4/28/98 Dry weather No discharge Todd Blake observation Outfall A & B 11/24/98 Dry weather No discharge Todd Blake observation Outfall A & B 4/15/99 Dry weather No discharge Todd Blake observation Outfall A & B 10/11/99 Wet weather No discharge Todd Blake observation Outfall A & B 6/29/00 Dry weather No discharge Todd Blake observation Outfall A & B 10/31/00 Dry weather No discharge Todd Blake observation Outfall A & B 5/04/01 Dry weather No discharge Roger Horton observation Outfall A & B 10/26/01 Dry weather No discharge Roger Horton observation Outfall A & B 4/23/02 Dry weather No discharge Roger Horton observation Outfall A & B 10/03/02 Wet weather No discharge Roger Horton observation OutfalI A & B 5/08/03 Dry weather No discharge Roger Horton observation Outfall A & B 10/24/03 Dry weather No discharge Roger Horton observation Outfall A & B 5/25/04 Dry weather No discharge Roger Horton observation Outfall A & B 10/7/04 Dry weather No discharge Roger Horton observation 3.6 Revised 1218104 Certification I, Keith Anderson (responsible corporate official), certify under penalty of law that this document and all attachments were prepared under my direction or supervision in accordance with a system designed to assure that qualified personnel properly gather and evaluate the information submitted.

Date Signed 3.6 Revised 1218104 SECTION 4 BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES This section describes the storm water management controls in place at the Clean Harbors facility. 'rhe facility operates under a RCRA Part B Contingency Plan that has the goal of preventing releases of toxics from the facility. The SWPPP Team includes representatives responsible for executing both the SWPPP and the Contingency Plan. This organizational linkage of Teams and Plans allows Clean Harbors to maintain the communications processes necessary for the Plans to accomplish the common goal without unnecessary and inefficient duplication of efforts. 4.1 Good Housekeeping Good housekeeping is the maintenance of an orderly work environment and contributes to the overall facility pollution control effort. Good housekeeping is achieved through a combination of periodic employee training, motivation, and significant management attention to details of keeping storage and workshop areas clean and orderly. Good housekeeping contributes to prevention of BMP incidents, but supports worker health and safety programs, eliminates waste, and generally prevents deterioration of company property and equipment. Outdoor storage of wastes in tankers, trailers, and roll -offs is closely monitored. Inspections of storage buildings and outdoor tankers, trailers, and roll -offs are conducted on a daily and weekly basis. Clean Harbors has adopted a high standard of good housekeeping in its storage and materials handling areas. Wastes are stored in designated areas with secondary containment and segregated according to chemical compatibility. The drums are kept clear from walkways. Floors in the work and storage areas are maintained in a clean and dry condition. Blind sumps are routinely inspected and cleaned, as needed. 4.2 Preventive Maintenance Program An effective Preventive Maintenance Program is an important aspect of any BMP control system. Well maintained and inspected equipment is less likely to cause problems that result in accidents. Clean Harbors has a preventive maintenance program that satisfies the overall needs of the BMP Program. The program specifically provides review of equipment in areas where potential discharges to the environment exist. In this case, the areas of specific concern are the loading docks, waste storage buildings, roll -off storage areas, trailer -parking areas, and tanker storage areas. When a determination is made that insufficient attention is being paid to any item involved in the storage or transport of the wastes, these deficiencies will be brought to the attention of the Pollution Prevention Team. 4-1 Revised 12/8/04 �p.

Dew- of EN.R MAY 21 2007 winown-sa < L Subject: NPDES Permit Renewal Application Permit Number NCS000085 Individual Stormwater Permit Rockingham County The Division of Water Quality's Stormwater and General Permits Unit hereby acknowledges receipt of your renewal application for coverage under NPDES Permit Number NCS000085 on December 20, 2004. The submitted renewal package contained the following items: ➢ Signed application ➢ Site map ➢ Visual monitoring results summary (The data provided for this was taken when there was no rain or stormwater discharge event occurring. The qualitative (visual) monitoring called for in this permit is to be done while a stonnwater outfall is discharging so that its qualities can be observed. It does not need to be a "representative storm" as required for the quantitative monitoring, but it does need to be a storm.) ➢ Best Management Practices ➢ Narrative describing significant changes at the permitted facility ➢ Signed Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan certification A preliminary review of the submitted renewal application package has been conducted and it appears to be complete.

Part I Page 1 of 2 Permit No. NCS000085 PART 11 MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR PERMITTED DISCHARGES 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 III, Standard Conditions, Section E, Paragraph 3 of this individual 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. (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. (c) A site map drawn to scale with the distance legend indicating location of industrial activities (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas and loading and unloading areas), drainage structures, drainage areas for each outfall and activities occurring in the drainage area, building locations, existing BMPs and impervious surfaces, and the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious. For each outfall, a narrative description of the potential pollutants which could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge. (d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred at the facility during the 3 previous years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts. (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 3. 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 Schedule. A schedule to provide secondary containment for bulk storage of liquid materials, storage of Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority chemicals, or storage of hazardous substances to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. 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 with a Part II Page I of 4 Permit No. NCS000085 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. (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 potential of 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 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, a 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 propel- 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 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 III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3) to the Director that the changes have been made. Facility Inspection Program. Facilities are required to inspect all stormwater systems on at least a semiannual schedule, once in the fall (September -November) and once in the spring (April - June), 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. Part 11 Page 2 of 4 Permit No. NCS000085 Stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring as required in Part II of this permit shall be performed in addition to facility inspections. Implementation. The permittee shall document all monitoring, measurements, inspections and maintenance activities and training provided to employees, including the log of the sampling data and of activities taken to implement 13MPs 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 his authorized representative immediately upon request. SECTION B- QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each Stormwater outfall regardless of representative outfall status and shall be performed as specified below in Table 1. Qualitative monitoring is for the purpose of evaluating the effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and assessing new sources of stormwater pollution. No analytical tests are required. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls does not need to be performed during a representative storm event. Qualitative monitoring will be performed twice per year, once in the spring (April -.Tune) and once in the fall (September - November). Table 1.
