Caraustar Mill Group Inc - Caraustar.Mill Group, Inc. —
Charlotte Plant
On 12/7/2009, the Division of Water Quality received your request to rescind your coverage under
Certificate of Coverage Number NCS000361. In accordance with your request, Certificate of Covet -age
Number NCS0003'61 is rescinded effective immediately.
Operating a treatment facility, discharging wastewater or discharging specific types of stormwater to
waters of the State without valid coverage under an NPDLS 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 th::t have voluntarily relinquished permit coverage when, in fact, continuing permit
coverage was necessary. If, in retrospect, you feet the site still requires pen -nit coverage, you should
notify this office immediately. Furtherniore, if in the future you wish to again discharge to the State's
surface waters, you must first apply for and receive a new Nl'DES 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 aced for NPDES pen -nit coverage.
If you have questions about this matter, please contact Brian Lowther at [phone], or the Water
Quality staff in our Mooresville Regional Office at 704-663-1699-

RE: Request for Permit Rescission
Stormwater Permit No. NCS000361
Caraustar — Former Carolina Paper Board Facility
Charlotte, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Parker:
On behalf of Caraustar, ARM Environmental Services, PLLC (ARM) has performed stormwater
monitoring services for the facility for approximately three years. The two years prior to 2009, the
stormwater permit only required annual monitoring. Beginning in 2009, semi-annual monitoring was
required under a new permit. Both semi-annual events of 2009 revealed results below the
maximum allowable concentrations indicated in the permit, including recent samples split with
representatives of the Mecklenburg County Storm Water Services agency. Please find attached
these latest results from the October 2009 Stormwater Sampling Report for the Caraustar-Charlotte
facility. Previous results have been provided to the Division of Water Quality as required by the
permit.
In March of 2009, the plant's status changed from idled to permanent closure. Following this
closure, on May 26, 2009, a meeting between Caraustar and Mecklenburg County Water Quality,
was held at the facility to discuss a long term solution to storm water that is collected from seven
different locations at the facility. When the mill was operating, the processes had a negative water
balance and gathered additional water by collecting storm water from these seven areas. Because
of its negative water balance, the mill had a closed water system that resulted in no discharge to the
POTW from the processes.
In December 2008, the mill was placed on idled status and ceased to produce paper. At this time,
Mr. Stan Revell of Caraustar contacted Mr. Tim Downs of the Charlotte -Mecklenburg utilities
Department (CMUD) to request authorization to discharge this collected storm water for a temporary
period of time because the plant was unable to consume stormwater as it had before. Caraustar
was given authorization by CMUD to discharge this collected storm water, and the POTW has
continued to allow the since December 2008, without formal permitting. However, when the plant
permanently closed in March 2009, the discharge was no longer temporary, and Mr. Stan Revell
contacted you, so that the NC Division of Water Quality would be aware that additional stormwater
discharge would be forthcoming.
Your discussion of the matter with Mr. Bradley Bennett in the Raleigh Central Office of NC DENR,
resulted in a reply to Mr. Revell that the currently permitted stormwater monitoring regime would
continue until the Division of Water Quality determined that stormwater constituent values were
consistently below established benchmark concentrations and would pose no risk to nearby surface
water quality. The recommendation was incumbent upon Caraustar to follow through with cleaning
of areas of the facility where potential waste constituents might have been present due to past

materials storage and the pre-treatment waste process areas, which could potentially contribute
impact constituents to stormwater outfalls that previously did not receive stormwater from these
areas.
Again, both semi-annual sampling events of 2009 showed results below the maximum allowable
concentrations per the permit, and operations no longer exist at the facility. Therefore, ARM
respectfully requests that the stormwater permit be rescinded for the Caraustar-Charlotte plant.
ARM appreciates the opportunity to provide environmental services to Caraustar. Please call us at

Permit No. NCS000361
Dear Mr. Revell:
Per your request, and in accordance with North Carolina Department of Environment, and
Natural Resources (NC DENR) Individual Permit No. NCS000361, ARM Environmental
Services, PLLC (ARM), in conjunction with Ms. Heather Sorensen of the Mecklenburg County
Water Quality Program, collected a stormwater grab sample during a representative storm
event on October 12, 2009, from four discharge outfalls (Outfall1 through Outfall 4) on the
referenced property. This split sampling was conducted following the closing and cleanup
activities at the facility. Also, the county wanted to confirm the water quality via split -sampling
with ARM, prior to Caraustar requesting the state to rescind the stormwater permit. There was
no flow at the Outfall 1 point at its final discharge into Stewart Creek and the Outfall 1 sample
was collected from the last stormwater collection point at the facility prior to the final discharge
point at Stewart Creek.
The samples were collected during the rain event in clean, pre -preserved, laboratory -prepared
sample bottles. The samples were then shipped to Shealy Environmental Laboratories, which is
a North Carolina -accredited analytical laboratory. The samples were analyzed for biological
oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total lead, total arsenic, .and total
suspended solids (TSS) per your current semi-annual permit requirements.
The attached Table 1 provides a summary of the analytical results, total flow, and total rainfall.
The pH was performed in the field upon sample collection and was within the recommended
holding time of 15 minutes. The Stormwater Discharge Outfall (SDO) Monitoring Report in
Appendix A provides a summary of the analytical results and total event rainfall. The analyzed
parameters were below the benchmark, or allowable, permit concentration limits for the facility
outfalls during the second semiannual event. During sample collection, qualitative monitoring of
certain parameters was performed. The qualitative monitoring reports for each outfall as
required by the SWPPP are also attached in Appendix B. Please see Appendix C for the
analytical report and chain of custody form. The water was clear to cloudy at the outfalls, with
no abnormal coloration. No foams, oil sheens, floating or suspended solids, odor, or staining
were detected at the outfalls. Some erosion was observed along the sloped bank area,
surrounding Outfall 3, as was noted in the previous stormwater sampling report of March 2009.

Central Office Review Summary:
1. Owner's Other Permits: (If applicable)
• None
2. General Observations:
• Aerial photos show what looks like lots of paper debris in the drainage area of SDO 2 (open paper
storage area as labeled on drawing; 2 of 2.
• issues on this site that need to be addressed with BOD, COD, and TSS.
• The permitee stated that they have an internal water system for the manufacturing area.
3. impairment: Not on 303d list. Watershed subject to a TMDL for turbidity approved February 8, 2005; and a
TMDL for fecal colifornn approved March 28, 2002.
4. Threatened and Endangered; None.
5. Industrial Changes Since Previous Permit: None.
6. Anal ical Monitoring Notes: pH within range for all events. BOD5 and COD were well above current
benchmarks for all events at SDO 2. SDO 3 showed some issues with BOD5 and COD, but not to the degree of
SDO 2. High values of TSS were recorded at SDO 1, 3, and 4. SDO 4 also had some values of Lead slightly
above the current benchmark. Additional sampling results were submitted for 2007 that showed similar results:
very high values for BOD5 and COD at SDO 2, pH was slightly low at SDO 2, BOD5 and TSS were elevated at
SDO 3.
7. Qualitative Monitoring Notes: No data for one of the twice required visual monitoring for 2002-2004. 2003:
noted cloudy and brown to blackish color of water at all outfalls; slight sheen at SDO 4. 2004: noted slight
blackish color at SDO 2. 2005: noted cloudy/silty or discolored water at all outfalls.

Revised Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring:
1. All parameters will be continued in this term of the permit. Add arsenic due to coal ash pile. May remove lead
and arsenic in next permit term if results stay below benchmark.
2. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as defined in Part lI
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. The permittee is required to collect all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during representative
storm events as defined in Part II 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 I 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:
1. Additional guidance is provided about the Site Plan requirements. The site map must now identify if the
receiving stream is impaircd 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 Plan have been specified in Part 11 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 § 122.26(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.

Discussions with permittee: Stan Revell, 704-972-7117, October 13, 2008
1. Q: SIC code 2631 correct?
a. ANSWER: yes
2. Q: Any action taken to investigate and/or remedy benchmark exceedance for $OD, COD, TSS?
a. ANSWER: investigated, moved waste paper away from the creek and storm drains to try and remedy this.
3. Q: What onsite would be contributing to the Lead at SDO 4?
a. ANSWER: The mill has been around since the 1930's. From the `30s through the `70s the energy source
for the process was from two 30,000 lb. coal furnaces. The coal ash was disposed of in the "backyard" that
entire time. The ash has the potential to have arsenic and lead in it.

SECTION 13: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
' Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1. All
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 term 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. A

coliform. A Total Maximum Daily�Load,(TMDhas been approved for the watershed of Irwin
Creek, which includes Stewart Creek. The permittee may be required to monitor for the
pollutant(s) of concern and submit results to the Division of Water Quality (see Table 1). 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.
(�.7j
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 of those BMPs into the permitted Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.

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, during the analytical
monitoring event. [If analytical monitoring is not required, the pennittee still must conduct semi-
annual qualitative monitoring.] Qualitative monitoring is for the purpose of evaluating the
effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and assessing new sources of
stormwater pollution.
In the event an atypical condition is noted at a stormwater discharge outfall, the permittee shall
document the suspected cause of the condition and any actions taken in response to the
discovery. This documentation will be maintained with the SPPP.

A TMDL is a calculation of the maximum amount of a pollutant that a waterbody can receive and still meet
water quality standards, and an allocation of that amount to the pollutant's sources. A TMDL is a detailed
water quality assessment that provides the scientific foundation for an implementation plan. The
implementation plan outlines the steps necessary to reduce pollutant loads in a certain body of water to
restore and maintain water quality standards in all seasons. Thetlean Water Act, Section 303, establishes
the water quality standards and "TMDL programs.:,

Permit No. NCS000361
Dear Ms. Worachek:
Per your request, and in accordance with North Carolina Department of Environment, and Natural
Resources -(NC DENR) Individual Permit No. NCS000361;. ARM Environmental Services, PLLC
(ARM) collected a stormwater grab sample during a representative storm event on December 21,
2007 from four discharge outfalls (Outfall1 through Outfali 4) on the referenced property.
The samples were collected during the rain event in clean, pre -preserved, laboratory -prepared
sample bottles. The samples were then shipped to Shealy Environmental Laboratories, which is a
North Carolina -accredited analytical laboratory. ARM Environmental had the samples analyzed by a
North Carolina accredited laboratory for biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand
(COD), total lead, and total suspended solids (TSS) per your normal annual permit requirements.
The attached Table 1 provides a summary of the analytical results (also attached), total flow, and
total rainfall. The pH was performed_ in the field upon .sample collection and was within -the
recommended holding time of 16 minutes. During sample collection, qualitative monitoring of certain
parameters was performed. The color of the water was clear to cloudy at the outfalls. No foams,
floating, or suspended solids, odor or staining were detected at the outfalls.
ARM appreciates the opportunity to provide environmental services to Caraustar. Per the
stormwater permit requirements, this report needs to be submitted to the NC DENR-Central Files at
the Division of Environmental Management. Please tali us at 704-369-0621, if you have any
questions.

Best Management Practices Summary
Spill containment around bulk storage
All bulk chemicals are contained by secondary containment. Fuel oil is also stored in secondary
containment.
Spill containment around process chemicals
Process chemicals are all stored within the mill. Any spill of a process chemical will be
contained within the mill water system which is a closed water system (no discharge).
Dike between the mill and Stewart Creek
A dirt dike separates the mill property from Stewart Creek. Any spill within the property will
drain towards the low areas adjacent to the flood control station.
Contracted storm water sampling
Carolina Paperboard continues to contract the analytical water testing services to ATC
Associates of North Carolina.
Conduct annual training on Stormwater Pollution and Spill Prevention
Annual training on the Stormwater Pollution and Spill Prevention plan is conducted annually
with all employees.
Weekly Visual Bulk Inspections
Bulk storage inspections are being conducted weekly to ensure better control of the state of the
containers.

Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit
Permit No. NCS000361
Carolina Paper board Corp.
Mecklenburg County
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. 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:
"1.. All analytical monitoring parameters have been continued in this term of the permit. Arsenic has been
added to the monitoring parameters due to the old coal ash pile.
2. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as defined in
Part II 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 blow"
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. Exceedanccs 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 all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during representative
storm events as defined in fart II 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 1 of 'fables 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.
t
Other permit changes:
I. 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 11 Section A.
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 II
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 Il 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- §122.26(g), the
facility may qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES stormwater discharge:perinit
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.

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

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 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 (SPCC) 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.

SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS'
wt, Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1. All
analytical monitoring shall be performed during a representative storm event. The required
ri monitoring will result in a minimum of ten analytical samplings being conducted over the term of
'z 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. -,,//

Permit No. NCS000361
During the term of this permit, if the valid sampling results required for the permit monitoring
periods exceed the benchmark value, or are outside the benchmark range, for any specific
parameter at any specific outfall on more than four occasion`s•, the permittee shall notify the DWQ
Regional Office Supervisor in writing within 30 days of receipt of the fourth analytical results.
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-con ls; .
• require the permittee to implement other storm control measures; or
• require that the permittee implement site modifications toqualify for the No Exposure
Exclusion.
This site discharges to an impaired watershed e'xp riencing problems with turbidity and fecal
coliform. A "Total Maximum Daily Load'(A`MDL);has been approved for the watershed of Irwin
Creek, which includes Stewart Creek. The permittee may be required to monitor for the
pollutant(s) of concern and submit results totithe Division of Water Quality (see Table I). The
Division will consider the monitoring results in determining whether additional BMPs are needed
r
to control the pollutant(s) ofjconcern 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 of those BMPs into the permitted Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
Part 11 Page 8 of 10

Permit No. NCS000361
SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outi'all regardless of
representative outfall status and shall be performed as specified in Table 4, during the analytical
monitoring event. [If analytical monitoring is not required, the permittee still must conduct semi-
annual qualitative monitoring.] Qualitative monitoring is for the purpose of evaluating the
effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and assessing new sources of
stormwater pollution.
In the event an atypical condition is noted at a stormwater discharge outfall, the permittee shall

Dear Mr. Drinnon:
In response to your renewal application for continued coverage under NPDES stormwater permit
NCS000361, the Division of Water Quality (Division) is forwarding herewith the subject state - NPDES
permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215 .1
and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the US Environmental Protection
agency dated May 9, 1994 (or as subsequently amended).
Please note that the Division has revised the analytical monitoring strategy for individual
stormwater permits. Based on a review of the permit monitoring data received to date, the analytical
monitoring measurement frequencies have been changed and cut-off concentrations have been removed.
These changes will be implemented for all second term individual stormwater permits with analytical
monitoring requirements. For those permits with analytical monitoring requirements, Part II -
Monitoring, Controls, and Limitations for Permitted Discharges has been modified to reflect the change
in monitoring strategy.
The qualitative monitoring strategy remains the same as the first term of the permit. Please note
that the semi-annual qualitative monitoring is a requirement of the permit. Failure to complete the
monitoring as required is a violation of the permit and any permit noncompliance constitutes a violation
of the Clean Water Act, Reference Part 11I, Section A, Item 2 "Duty to Comply", Item 9 "Penalties for
'Pampering " and Item 10 "Penalties for Falsification of Reports" of your permit for further information.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are
unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30)
days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to
Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative
Hearings, Post Office Drawer 27447, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611 -7447. Unless such demand is
made, this decision shall be final and binding.
Please take notice this permit is not transferable. Part 111, B.2. addresses the requirements to be
followed in case of change in ownership or control of this discharge.

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:
1. 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.
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:
Part II Page I of 6

Permit No. NCS000361
(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 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.
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.
Part II Page 2 of 6

Permit No. NCS000361
Employee Training. Training schedules shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis on proper 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 I1I, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3) to the Director that the changes
have been made.
S. 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 II 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
log of the sampling data and of activities taken to implement BMPs associated with the

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 below in Table 3. 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.
In the event an atypical condition is noted at a stormwater discharge outfall, the Permittee shall
document the suspected cause of the condition and any actions taken in response to the
discovery. This documentation will be maintained with the Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plan.
All qualitative monitoring will be performed twice per year, once in the spring (April - June) and
once in the fall (September - November).

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:
1. 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.
(c) 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:
Part 11 Page t of 6

Permit No. NCS000361
(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 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.

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 111, 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

The Division of Water Quality's Stormwater and General Permits Unit hereby acknowledges
receipt of your renewal application for coverage under NPDES Permit Number NCS000361 on
June 26, 2001. A review of the submitted material indicates that additional information is
needed. Please submit documentation addressing the following items:
• The Supplemental Information page of the renewal form was not returned with the
appropriate initials. An additional copy of this form has been attached for your convenience.
• Analytical monitoring results summary — The summary should consist of a table including, at
a minimum, the outfall number, the parameters sampled, lab results, date sampled and storm
event data for all sampling results during the term of the permit. Do not submit individual
lab reports.
• Visual monitoring results summary - The summary should consist of a table including, at a
minimum, the outfall number, parameters surveyed, observations and the monitoring date for
all sampling results during the term of the permit. Do no submit individual monitoring
reports.
• The analytical data submitted with the renewal application for the year 2001, indicates that
only Outfall I and an upstream location were sampled. This Office does not have
documentation that Representative Outfall Status (ROS) has been granted for this site, which
