Subject: Rescission of NPDES General Permit
Permit Number NCS000313
Continental 'fire
On 12/22/2009, the Division of Water Quality received your request to rescind you coverage under Permit Number
NCS000313. In accordance with your request, Permit Number NCGO00313 is rescinded effective immediately.
Operating a treatment facility, discharging; wastewater or discharging specific types of stormwatet• 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
pennit coverage when, in fact, continuing, permit coverage was necessary. If, in retrospect, you feel 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.
Ifthe 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 NPD17-S permit coverage..
If you have questions about this matter, please contact Sarah Young at [phone], or the Water Quality staff in our
Mooresville Regional Office at 704-663-1699.

Continental Tire terminated its last manufacturing operation at 1900 Continental Boulevard, Charlotte NC
on December 1 2008. In the past year Continental has been decommissioning the site in preparation for
its new owners, Patriot Equities of Wayne PA to use it exclusively as a warehouse. Continental Tire has
now completed its decommissioning activities and therefore requests that Industrial Stormwater Permit #
NCS000313 be rescinded and we be excused from the permit fee for 2010,
Patriot Equities will continue the process of converting the site to a warehouse, of which Continental Tire
is currently the primary tenant.
I am enclosing our invoice for 2010.

ADDENDUM
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program was established under the federal
Clean Water Act and then delegated to the Division of Water Quality for implementation in North Carolina. The
NPDES permitting program for stormwater discharges was established in 1990, Phase I focuses on site and
operations planning to reduce pollutant sources.
Through the NPDES permitting program industrial facilities that fall into one of the subject ten categories are
required to obtain permit coverage under a general permit or an individual permit, depending upon the
facilities SIC code and the industrial activity occurring at the facility. There are currently 19 active general
stormwater permits in North Carolina. One condition that is applicable to both the general permits and
individual stormwater permits is the requirement to develop and implement site -specific comprehensive
stormwater pollution prevention plans (SPPP). These plans are required to include a comprehensive
evaluation of the site and operations to reduce pollutant sources and prevent pollutant discharge,
Copies of the general permits and accompanying documents can be accessed from the following webpage:
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/Forms Documents.htm Permit text, technical bulletins, discharge monitoring
forms, and a Notice of Intent ]which is the application of for coverage under a NPDES General Stormwater
Permit] can be found at this web site.
The following items are a subset of permit requirements and are listed to assist you and help bring your
attention to certain permitting issues, process and condition requirements of your permit. That said, please see
the above mentioned web site in order to obtain a copy of the permit such that you may fully comply with all the
conditions therein. Failure to properly comply with conditions of the permit, like those Ibulteted below,
constitutes violations and are subject civil penalty assessment of up to $25,000.00 per day.
• Industrial facilities that fall into one of the subject ten categories are required to obtain permit coverage
under a general NPDES stormwater permit or an individual NPDES stormwater permit
• All persons desiring to have facilities covered by a General Permit must register with the Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) by the filing of a Notice of Intent (NOI) and Applicable Fees.
• This Notice of Intent (NOI) must be submitted and a Certificate of Coverage issued prior to any
discharge of stormwater associated with the industrial activity, process wastewater, and/or mine
dewatering,
• Once the Notice of Intent is received, DWQ will review and determine whether a Certificate of Coverage
(COC) may be issued. If this Certificate of Coverage is issued the facility is covered by the General
Permit. That is, the permittee is authorized,to discharge stormwater, process wastewater, and/or mine
dewatering pursuant to the type of General Permit until the permit expires or is modified or revoked.
• Any other point source discharge to surface water of the state is prohibited unless it is an allowable
non-stormwater dis&arge or is covered by another permit, authorization or approval.
• There are currently 19 active general permits. Permit conditions vary accordingly; however, most of the
permits have following condition requirements (you must read your entire permit to ensure full
compliance):

Inspection Summary:
Facility Description
Previously, this facility was primarily engaged in manufacturing pneumatic radial tires for passenger and light trucks. The
facility operated 24 hours a day, five days a week. The manufacturing section of the facility has been c#osed and the
property sold to Patriot Conti Charlotte, LLC out of Wayne, Pennsylvania. In December 2008, the facility ceased mixing
rubber productions. On March 31, 20C9, demolition began. All manufacturing equipment, storage tanks, and other
industrial process areas will be removed from the property. The facility was released from its Charlotte -Mecklenburg
Utilities wastewater Permit #0605 on February 23, 2009, and released from its Title V Air Quality Permit in December
2008. The facility will be used primarily as a storage warehouse. Continental Tire North America, Inc. continues to use
part of the facility as an adjustment center and warehouse. The facility plans to have their NPDES Individual Stormwater
permit rescinded by the end of 2009.
Please note: The permittee may be required to obtain coverage under Stormwater General permit NCG060000, which
covers public warehousing, once the facility has been cleaned up and is being used primary for storagelwarehousing.
The Division of Water Quality is reviewing and in some cases requiring coverage under a General Stormwater permit,
facilities that conduct activities similar to but included in the list of activities or SIC categories covered by a general
permit. Please contact the Stormwater Permitting Unit to discuss if continued permit coverage will be required when you
seek rescission of your lndividual Stormwater permit NCS000313.
Compliance History:
On July 5, 2004, an cidwater mixture discharged from the wash -rack sump and down a driveway due to a large rain
event. Haz-Mat Transportation conducted the clean-up. No surface waters were affected.
On July 20, 2005, an estimated 6,000 gallons of industrial wastewater was released onto the facility property. The spill
was contained to the facifity's stormwater drainage system. Haz-Mat Transportation conducted the clean-up.
On February 8, 2006, approximately 5,000 gallons of industrial wastewater was released from the facility's pre-treatment
system. The wastewater discharged to Sugar Creek. MCWQP responded to the release. On February 20, 2006, the
facility was issued a State Notice of Violation, NOV-2006-PC-0059, for the pump station overflow.
On November 15, 2007, approximately 100 gallons of process oil spilled from a rail car onto the facility's property. The
spill was contained and did not impact surface waters. MCWQP responded to the spill, Haz-Mat Transportation
conducted the clean-up.
On January 9, 2007, the facility discovered a leak in the closed cooling tower water loop. The water reached the storm
drain system through roof drains. MCWQP responded to the leak. The leak was discovered and repaired.
industrial Operations/City of Charlotte Stormwater Ordinance Review:
A second Stormwater Compliance inspection was conducted on May 8, 2009, 9:00 a.m. — 11:30 a m. Marcia Allocco with
the Division of Water Quality also attended the inspection. This inspection was conducted to further assess stormwater
outfall conditions and this inspection report includes observations made during the second inspection.
Storm Drain Outfall #01 —
This outfall receives stormwater from the wastewater pretreatment plant, wash rack and vehicle maintenance areas. A
controlled dyke with an oiilwater separator is installed in the outfall. A hydrocarbon boom was placed in the outfall as a
preventative measure. This outfall converges with Outfall #07 and discharges to a UT to Coffee Creek.

Permit; NCSG00313 Owner - Facility: Continental Tire North America Inc
inspection Date: 0411 2009 Inspection Type; Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Storm Drain Outfall #02 —
This outfall receives water from the railroad and carbon tower pad areas. A controlled dyke with an oillwater separator is
installed in the outfall. A hydrocarbon boom was placed in the outfall as a preventative measure. The soil was dark in
appearance. During the May 8, 2009, inspection, extra carbon black was observed in the drainage area due to cleaning
operations. This outfall converges with Outran #03 and discharges to a UT to Big Sugar Creek. The facility should
remove and properly dispose of carbon black that could discharge to the storm drain system.
Storm Drain Outfall #03 —
This outfall receives water from roof drains located in the carbon black production areas. The outfall was approximately
50% blocked by sediment. The soil was darkened in this area. A tree was observed grown around the outlet of the pipe.
During the May 8, 2009 inspection, the sediment blockage had been removed from the pipe. The tree remained around
the outlet of the pipe since the integrity of the pipe may be compromised with the tree's removal. If in the future the tree
compromises the integrity of the stormwater pipe both may have to be removed and a new stormwater discharge pipe
installed. Carbon black was observed in the bed of the outfall, but not leaving the property. Since carbon black is
considered to be "inert" DWQ will not be requiring its removal from the wooded area below the stormwater outfall. If the
carbon black were to make its way to surface waters it would have to be removed. This outfall converges with Outfall #02
and discharges to a UT to Big Sugar Creek. The facility should continue to maintain storm drain outfalls.
Storm Drain Outfall #04a -
This outfall receives roof drain discharges from the facility. ApproximateEy 95% of the pipe was blocked by sediment.
During the May 8, 2009 inspection, the outfall had been completely reconstructed by Patriot Conti Charlotte, LLC to
include a stormwater pond. The outfall appeared to be in good condition but needed to be stabilized with vegetation.
This outfall discharges to a UT to Big Sugar Creek,
Storm Drain Outfall #05 —
This outfall receives stormwater from the'roof of the finished goods warehouse and discharges directly to the adjoining
property owner (Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC) due to the recent sale (10/08) of this section of the former Continental Tire
property. This eutfall has been improved by the new owner to include a riprapped Swale to the headwaters of a UT to
Coffey Creek,
Storm Drain Outfall #05a —
This outfall receives stormwater from the parking lot area near the finished goods warehouse and discharges directly to
the adjoining property owner (Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC) due to the recent sale (10/08) of this section of the former
Continental Tire property. Erosion was observed along the outfall of the storm drain system. The facility should work with
the adjoining property owner, continue to monitor erosion, and conduct proper maintenance of the storm drain system_
Storm Drain Outfall #06 —
This outfall receives stormwater from the roof of the finished goods warehouse and discharges into what appears to a
spring and headwaters of a UT to Coffey Creek.
Storm Drain Outfall #07 —
This outfall receives stormwater from the roof of the finished goods warehouse. This drainage area converges with
Outfa4 #01 which discharges to a UT to Coffey Creek.
Storm Drain Outfall North Fire Pump —
This outfall receives discharge from the fire pump system and discharges directly to the adjoining property owner (Duke
Energy Carolinas, LLC) due to the recent sale (10/08) of this section of the former Continental Tire property.

We have received Notice of Violation Tracking # NOV-2009-PCO797 dated September 18, 2009 resulting
from inspections conducted April17, 2009 and May 8, 2009 on our site, Stormwater Permit # NCS000313.
The following actions have been taken to correct the deficiencies noted in the NOV.
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
• Section B, part 2 has been added to our SWP3 plan to address feasible alternatives to current
practices.
• The entire plan has been reviewed and was updated in April 2009 (appended).
• Stormwater facility inspection has been added to the semi-annual outfall inspection program
(appended).
Outfall Maintenance
• Outfall 2: Upon the completion of the Carbon Tower demolition in late May 2009, the entire pad
in that area was swept and is now clean. We have removed the possibility of discharging carbon
into the storm drain system.
• Outfall 3: The sediment has been removed from the discharge pipe, but the tree growing around
the outfall has been left in place. We estimate that the discharge pipe is — 80% unobstructed.
This specific concern is now monitored in our semiannual facility inspection.
• Outfall 4: The new owners, Patriot Equities, have reworked this entire outfall & have planted
grass to stabilize the area. Vegetation is now growing in this area (photo appended).
• Outfall 5A: Continental Tire has reworked this entire outfall. Work was completed on October 2,
2009. Grass seed has been planted to stabilize the area (photos appended)
Additionally thanks to handheld GIPS devices we have included more precise coordinates of all outfalls and
convergences.
We believe these actions will adequately address all the issues reported in the NOV.

A. INTRODUCTION
This Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWP3) is developed in compliance with Part I of the site
stormwater discharge permit NCS 000 313.
FACILITY DESCRIPTION
The Continental Tire North America, Inc. (CTNA) Charlotte, North Carolina plant is a warehousing
facility for radial passenger and light truck pneumatic tires.
Normal operating hours: 8 hours/day, 5 days/week.
APPROPRIATE ELEMENTS OF OTHER PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
The plant's Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures Plan (SPCC) and Hazardous Materials
Contingency Plan (HMCP) addresses several of the concerns and requirements of the SWP3. The
applicable sections of the SPCC plan will be referenced herein.
Elements of the SPCC/HMCP plan which affect stormwater include:
1. Description of plant oil, hazardous materials, and hazardous waste storage
2. Evaluation of potential for spills
3. Spill prevention and containment measures
4. Contingency plan for containment and clean-up
5. Notification
6. Inspection requirements
7. Personal training
8. Records retention

B. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION
1. NATURE OF INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITIES
The CTNA's Charlotte plant previously was a manufacturing facility for passenger and light truck
pneumatic tires. Currently, it is a tire warehouse facility. Additional current activities surround the
removal of all tire manufacturing equipment and materials, at which point the site will be used
solely as a warehouse.
Materials that were used in the manufacturing process, treated, stored, or disposed that may
potentially have been exposed to stormwater include:
a. Carbon black unloading, storage, baghouse exhausts, and disposal systems. Carbon
unloading, storage and exhaust systems were last used in November 2008, Above
ground level unloading and storage tanks were removed in April 2009. Underground
unloading systems are scheduled for removal in May 2009. Baghouse exhausts and
disposal systems were cleaned in March/April 2009 and the equipment remains
abandoned in place.
b. Process oil unloading and storage. Process oil unloading and storage were last used in
November 2008. In December 2008 all process oil storage tanks were emptied and
cleaned. By April 2009 all process oil storage tanks had been removed.
c. Fuel oil unloading and storage. Fuel oil unloading and storage were last used in October
2008. In December 2008 all fuel oil storage tanks were emptied and cleaned. By April
2009 all fuel oil storage tanks had been removed.
d. Rubber chemical dust collector exhaust and disposal systems. Chemical dust collector
exhaust systems were last used in November 2008. They were cleaned in March/April
2009 and the equipment remains abandoned in place.
e. Rubber dust exhaust (wet and dry) and disposal systems. Rubber dust exhaust systems
were last used in June 2006. The have all been removed from our facility since
September 2008.
f. Plant trash from disposal systems.
g. Scrap rubber material and disposal systems. Rubber was last mixed here in November
2008. By the end of December 2008 all scrap rubber and disposal systems had been
removed from the site.
h. Scrap metal and disposal systems.
2. FEASIBILITY STUDY TO ELIMINATE OR REDUCE EXPOSURE TO STORMWATER
No materials have been brought on site since November 2008 that would be stored in areas
subject to exposure to stormwater. Since that time, Continental Tire has been working to
eliminate exposure by removing from our site those exact materials that this stormwater Pollution
Plan is designed to guard against. Additionally, the storage of spent materials, notably used oils,
that previously had been stored in diked areas outside have now been moved inside the building,

4
3. PRACTICES EMPLOYED TO MINIMIZE CONTACT WITH STORMWATER
a. Plant trash is loaded into waste containers under roof.
b. Spills of carbon black from the unloading system, storage silo, and dust collectors are swept
up and appropriately containerized in a timely manner.
c. Accumulations of carbon black or rubber dust on the roof from dust collectors shall be swept
up frequently (discontinued since the dismantling of all carbon systems).
d. Waste process chemicals (non -hazardous), floor sweepings, and oily sludge will be securely
containerized in sealed drums or totes inside the building. Said materials will be transported
directly from the building into roll -off containers.
e. Areas of outside storage of raw materials, oil storage, and waste shall be inspected at least
monthly (all storage areas have been moved inside).
f. Carbon black roof areas will be inspected at least weekly and cleaned as needed. Other roof
areas will be inspected at least monthly and cleaned as needed (discontinued).
g. Used oil and sludge will be stored in drums and totes under roof and shipped out when full
loads are assembled.
h. Rubber dust from wet and dry dust collectors is placed in a roll -off container located in the
Buffing Dust Shed. Dust is contained under roof. (Rubber dust has not been produced since
June 2006. This practice has been discontinued).
i. Wastewater pretreatment sludge is stored in drums inside the facility.
j. Scrap metal is stored in roll -off containers.
k. Any equipment being stored on the ground shall be put on blocks/skid and a tarp securely
covering any portion that may be covered with oil or grease.
4. CONTROL MEASURES
a. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Team
1. Team Leader: Environmental Manager Responsibilities: Preparation of the SWP3,
implementation of any revisions to the Plan, assisting the Plant Manager in assuring the
Plan and implementation thereof is in compliance with applicable laws. Contact and
supervise outside contractors employed to cleanup any large non -hazardous and any
hazardous spill. Inspection of oil and solvent storage dikes and retention basins on a
monthly basis and the appropriate release of retained stormwater.
2. Member #1: Janitorial Services Site Manager Responsibilities: Maintenance of Plant
grounds and roof areas in compliance with the Plan, cleaning up any non -hazardous
spills that may contaminate stormwater. Insure that personnel handling waste products
are in compliance with the Plan.
3. Member 42: Maintenance Manager Responsibilities: Ensure that maintenance needs
are handled promptly by the responsible maintenance leaders. insure that required
maintenance to the stormwater pollution prevention system are handled in a timely
manner.

4. CONTROL MEASURES (continued)
b. PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
The Environmental Manager will conduct monthly audits. All inspection reports, audits, and
discharge reports will be retained for a minimum of five (5) years in the Environmental
Coordinator's office or archives (start date 9-01-96).
Any maintenance requirements observed during the inspection shall be noted and
communicated to the appropriate Maintenance or Area Leader following each inspection.
c. GOOD HOUSEKEEPING
Raw materials, with the exception of carbon black, fuel oil, process oil, and solvents, were not
normally unloaded, loaded, or other wise handled outside the building. No raw materials
whatsoever have been received since November 2008.
Waste materials that are transported to outside areas shall be managed in such a manner to
minimize spills on roads, parking areas, etc.
Roof areas shall be swept periodically to minimize carbon black and buffing dust
accumulations from entering stormwater roof drains. (These practices were terminated in
November 2008 at the end of production).
d. SPILL PREVENTION AND RESPONSE
The facility Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC) and Hazardous
Materials Contingency Plan (HMCP) shall be followed to minimize the occurrence of, and
provide timely response to, spills of any kind. Notification procedures are provided within
those plans.
Training is conducted annually for employees who contact materials identified in the plans.
Task specific training for CTNA's personnel will be developed as indicated in the Compliance
Plan section of this document. Contract labor services are responsible for developing
procedures and training their employees to ensure compliance with the plan.
e. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
1. Emptying Of Stormwater From Dikes: The only people allowed to empty stormwater
from ANY dike, trench, or oil/water separator will be:
1)Environmental Manager 2)Maintenance Manager
Oil Tank Farm Dikes: Stormwater from areas of the process oil and fuel oil tank farm
dikes will be inspected by anyone from section 1 above prior to release. It an oil sheen is
observed, appropriate steps will be taken to remove the oil prior to discharge. It is
permissible to pump the water out from beneath the oil as long as the area is attended at
all times during the pumping action. (Oil tanks were emptied and cleaned in December
2008. Tanks were removed and dikes were destroyed in April 2009).
3. Solvent Tank Farm Dike: Stormwater from areas of the solvent tank farm dike will be
inspected by anyone from section 1 above prior to release. If solvent is detected, the
Environmental Manager will be notified and the water will be transferred offsite to a
vendor capable of dealing with solvent contaminated wastewater. The Environmental
Manager will be responsible for determining whether the contaminated water constitutes
a hazardous waste. (Solvent tanks were cleaned in March 2009. Tanks were removed
and dikes were destroyed in April 2009).

0
4. CONTROL MEASURES (continued)
5. Cement Trenches: The retention ponds at the oil/water separators collect surface water
and water from the roof drains. The ponds and trenches leading to them retain water to
allow for a controlled discharge from a rain event.
6. Roof Buildup: Accumulations of rubber dust and/or carbon black on the building roof
shall be swept periodically, bagged or drummed, and disposed of as special waste in the
rolloff containers provided . (These practices were terminated in November 2008 at the
end of production).
7. Compound Waste: Drummed compound waste ("floor sweepings") will be contained in
sealed cardboard/fiber drums that are transported from the building into a rolloff container
for shipment to the landfill. This material is non -hazardous under RCRA.
8. Grease/Absorbents: Grease and oil -contaminated absorbents will be collected in
drums. The containers will be stored under roof until sufficient material is accumulated to
constitute a truckload shipment to an incinerator.
9. Used Oil/Banbury Sludge: Used oil and Banbury sludge will be collected in drums and
totes. The containers will be stored under roof until a sufficient amount of material is
accumulated to constitute a truckload shipment to a recycler.
10. Stormwater Ditches: No chemicals, paints, solvents, or oils may be disposed of in plant
stormwater ditches.
11. Material Outside Storage: No raw or waste materials are to be stored outdoors where
they could come in contact with stormwater.
f. SEDIMENT AND EROSION PREVENTION
1. Some areas of the stormwater ditch system have steep banks susceptible to erosion.
These banks are seeded to prevent erosion. Cement linings were added to the ditch
bottoms to minimize wash.
2. Outdoor projects that disturb soil are required to include regrading and seeding as part of
the project scope.
g. EMPLOYEE TRAINING
All employees with responsibilities, which could impact stormwater, shall be trained annually
regarding the plant SWP3 and SPCC Plans. These employees include:
1. Janitorial Services (provided by contractor)
2. Wastewater Pretreatment Plant Operators (provided by contractor)
3. Maintenance Employees
h. INSPECTION PROCEDURES
Areas of raw material storage, fuel oil and process oil tank farms, waste material storage, and
NPDES stormwater ditches and oil/water separators are inspected monthly. Records of
these inspections shall be maintained for a minimum of three (3) years.
INDUSTRIAL STORMWATER DISCHARGE TREATMENT FACILITIES
Stormwater from the process areas on the east side of the building and from the roof drains
over the Cement House, Powerhouse, Shop, and first warehouse bay flow through oil/water

7
separators prior to discharge. These separators are designed to contain catastrophic oil
spills during rain events, but serve as "end of pipe" treatment under normal circumstances.
4. CONTROL MEASURES (continued)
j. METHODS OF OUTSIDE STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
1. Tank Storage of Significant Materials:
Refer to Appendix #1.

C. LIST OF POLLUTANTS POTENTIALLY PRESENT IN
STORMWATER
1. POLLUTANTS:
a. Carbon black
2. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF SIGNIFICANT MATERIALS EXPOSED TO STORMWATER:
a. Outfall #001: Northern Oil/Water Separator
1. The wash rack area is designed to collect all water used for miscellaneous equipment
cleaning and channel it to the wastewater pretreatment system. Equipment waiting
cleaning is staged outside where it may be exposed to stormwater. This includes cured
rubber, greasy parts, and skids that may have residues of chemical compounds.
2. The wash rack also collects the water from factory floor scrubbers/mop buckets and
channels it to the wastewater pretreatment system. Should any of this water leave the
area, the zinc -laden water could enter the stormwater system.
3. The wastewater pretreatment system utilizes (a) bags of chemicals, which are stored in
an enclosed storage shed, (b) caustic soda totes, which are stored on a roofed elevated
rack with catch tubes located under the totes, and (c) two 30,000 gallon process water
storage tanks. No chemicals are allowed to be stored unprotected.
b. Outfall #002: Southern Oil/Water Separator
1. Carbon black spillage from the carbon black unloading area and conveyor system may
be exposed to stormwater.
2. Minor quantities of spilled oil from process oil dikes, incidental spills at the unloading
areas, and leakage from the trucks in the receiving area results in small amounts of oil
being transferred to the oil/water separator.

4. CONTROL MEASURES (continued)
c. Outfall #003: Southeast
1. Any carbon black that may leak from the baghouse collection ducts is washed into the
roof drain system and transfers directly to this outfall.
2. Obsolete equipment removed from the plant, including ductwork, mills, gear boxes, etc.,
MAY be temporarily stored outside. Substances that may be exposed to stormwater
include incidental amounts of carbon black, oils, greases, compound chemicals, and
rubber.
d. Outfall #004: Southwest
1. This outfall catches water from the roof drains over the front and side of the building, the
grassy swaie in the southwest corner of the front yard, and the parking lot.
2. The grassy area that drains to this outfall have fertilizer and pesticides applied
approximately once per year in the spring.
e. Outfalls #005 through #007: Northeast and North
1. These outfalls are from the roof drains over the warehouse and the surface water run-off
from the loading dock in shipping. Minor contamination may occur from incidental oil
leaked from trucks in the shipping area.
D. FACILITY SIZE AND IMPERVIOUS AREA
The CTNA's Plant site occupies 131.07 acres in southwest Charlotte.
It is located west of the Interstate Highway 1-77, west of the 1-485 Interstate Highway

Subject: Continental Outfall Inspection Notes
Marcia,
Here is a quick summary of the outfalls as observed during their inspection:
#4: Actually two outfalls. The left drain was unknown until recently. Left drain was 95% blocked with sediment. Large
tree blocking outfall.
Right drain had a dry weather flow, drains new construction pond. Drain and outfall concrete. Good condition.
#3: Outfall 50% blocked with sediment. Tree growing around end of pipe. Soil in area darkened. Drains area of roof
with carbon black exposure.
#2: Dyke with valve. Collects rain water from railroad line and Carbon tower pad, areas with carbon black exposure. Soil
darkened in appearance. Hydrocarbon socks in outfall as a preventative measure. Oil water separator in dyke system.
#1: Dyke with valve system. Oil water separator in dyke system. Just like 92. This outfall does not receive as much
carbon black as #2 and #3.
#7: Good condition. Pipe out into woods.
#6: Heavy erosion. Slight dry weather flow. Drains roof. (Possible tributary?) Wooded area.
#5a- Pipe disconnected from system. Erosion. Wooded area.
#5- Recently maintained by Duke Power. Sediment in pipe.
North Fire Pump Outfall- Recently maintained by Duke Power. Good condition. Two pipes.

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 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

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.
8. 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.
Stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring as required in Part 11 of this permit shall
be performed in addition to facility inspections.
9. Implementation. The permittee shall document all monitoring, measurements,
inspections and maintenance activities and training provided to employees, including the

of the state.
18. Representative Storm Event
A storm event that measures greater than 0_ l 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.
19. Representative Outfall Status
When it is established that the discharge of stormwater runoff from a single outfall is representative of the
discharges at multiple outfalls, the DWQ may grant representative outfall status. Representative outfall
status allows the permittee to perform analytical monitoring at a reduced number of outfalls_
