Such discharges shall be controlled, limited and monitored as specified in this 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. Any owner or operator wishing to obtain a No Exposure Exclusion must submit a No Exposure Certification Notice of Intent (N0I) form to the Division; must receive approval by the Division; must maintain no exposure conditions unless authorized to discharge under a valid NPDES stormwater permit; and must recertify the No Exposure Exclusion annually. SECTION B: PERMITTED ACTIVITIES Until this permit expires or is modified or revoked, the permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater to the surface waters of North Carolina or separate storm sewer system that has been adequately treated and managed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this permit. All stormwater discharges shall be in accordance with the conditions of this permit. Any other point source discharge to surface waters of the state is prohibited unless it is an allowable non-stormwater discharge or is covered by another permit, authorization, or approval. The stormwater discharges allowed by this permit shall not cause or contribute to violations of Water Quality Standards. This permit does not relieve the permittee from responsibility for compliance with any other applicable federal, state, or local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or decree.

The SPPP shall be maintained on site unless exempted from this requirement by the Division. The SPPP is public information in accordance with Part III, Standard Conditions, Section E, paragraph 3 of this permit. The SPPP shall include, at a minimum, the following items: 1. Site Overview. The Site Overview shall provide a description of the physical facility and the potential pollutant sources that may be expected to contribute to contamination of stormwater discharges. The Site Overview 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 waters to which the stormwater outfalls discharge, 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 points of stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity. The general location map (or alternatively the site map) shall identify whether any receiving waters are impaired (on the state's 303(d) list of impaired waters) or if the site is located in a watershed for which a TMDL has been established, and what the parameters of concern are. (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. A narrative description of the potential pollutants that could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall. (c) A site map drawn at a scale sufficient to clearly depict: 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 and finished grade; all drainage features and structures; drainage area boundaries and total contributing area for each outfall; direction of flow in each drainage area; industrial activities occurring in each drainage area; buildings; stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs); and impervious surfaces. The site map must indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious, and the site map must include a graphic scale indication and north arrow. (d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants during the previous three (3) years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts. Part II Page 1 of 15 Permit No. NCS000591 (e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. The permittee shall re -certify annually 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 II1, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3. 2. Stormwater Management Strategy. The Stormwater Management Strategy shall contain a narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or minimize the stormwater exposure of significant materials, including structural and nonstructural measures. The Stormwater Management Strategy, 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 rainfall and run-on flows. 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, this review shall document the feasibility of diverting the stormwater run-on 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 the 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 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). 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 any material. 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 (5) years. For facilities subject to a federal oil Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC), any portion of the SPCC Plan fully compliant with the requirements of this permit may be used to demonstrate compliance with this permit. The Division may allow exceptions to secondary containment requirements for mobile refuelers, as with the exemption provided by amendments to federal SPCC regulations, as long as appropriate spill containment and/or diversionary structures or equipment is used to prevent discharge to surface waters. Exceptions do not apply to refuelers or other mobile tankage used primarily as bulk liquid material storage in a fixed location in place of stationary containers. (c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management Practices (BMPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs Part II Page 2 of lS Permit No. NCS000591 shall be based on the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and on data collected through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually. 3. Spill Prevention and Response Procedures. The Spill Prevention and Response Procedures (SPRP) shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials inventory of the facility. Facility personnel 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 increased 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. 4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance and good housekeeping program shall be developed and implemented. The program shall address all stormwater control systems (if applicable), 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 areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads), all drainage features and structures, and existing structural BMPs. The program shall establish schedules of inspections, maintenance, 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 where not already addressed under another element of the SPPP. 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 and maintained in the SPPP. S. 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 June), and once during the second half (July to December), with at least 60 days separating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently than semi-annually). These facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring of the outfalls required in Part II B, C, and D of this permit. 6. Employee Training. Training 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. The facility Part II Page 3 of 15 Permit No. NCS000591 personnel responsible for implementing the training shall be identified, and their annual training shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained. 7. Responsible Party. The SPPP shall identify a specific position or positions responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision of the SPPP. Responsibilities for all components of the SPPP shall be documented and position assignments provided. 8. SPPP Amendment and Annual Update. The permittee shall amend the SPPP whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, site drainage, maintenance, or configuration of the physical features which may have a significant effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of the SPPP shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. The annual update shall include: (a) an updated list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous three (3) years, or the notation that no spills have occurred {element of the Site Overview); (b) a written re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated far the presence of non-stormwater discharges (element of the Site Overview); (c) a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the on -site stormwater BMPs (BMP Summary element of the Stormwater Management Strategy). (d) a review and comparison ofsample analytical data to benchmark values (if applicable) over the past year, including a discussion about Tiered Response status. The permittee shall use the Division's Annual Summary Data Monitoring Report (DMR) form, available from the Stormwater Permitting Program's website (See `Monitoring Forms' here: httR//deg.nc.gov/about/divisions/energy -mineral-land-resources/energy- mineral-land-permits/stormwater- ep rmitsfnides-industrial-sw). The Director may notify the permittee when the SPPP 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 SPPP to meet minimum requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with Part 11I, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3) to the Director that the changes have been made. 9. SPPP Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and all appropriate BMPs consistent with the provisions of this permit, in order to control contaminants entering surface waters via stormwater. Implementation of the SPPP shall include documentation of all monitoring, measurements, 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 (5) years and made available to the Director or the Director's authorized representative immediately upon request. Part II Page 4 of 15 Permit No. NCS000591 SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1. All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must be sampled (See Definitions). A measurable storm event is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the permitted site outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours prior. The 72-hour storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a shorter interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and the permittee obtains approval from the local DEMLR Regional Engineer. See Definitions. Table 1. Analvtical Monitoring Requirements - - Discharge -_ _-'. - rWMeasuirement' Sample ' Sample Characteristics, - Units = Fre uenc 1.

If the facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or Three response actions under the previous permit, the facility shall continue a monthly monitoring and reporting schedule in Tier Two or Tier Three status until relieved by the provisions of this permit or the Division. Z Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. When physical separation between outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, sampling shall begin within the first 30 minutes, and shall continue until completed. 3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the Division's letter granting ROS shall be kept on site. 4 For each sampled measureable storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge is required. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain gauge reading may be substituted for an on -site reading. Part II Page 5 of 15 Permit No. NCS000591 The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified below in Table 2, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection (see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Sampling is not required outside of the facility's normal operating hours. A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2 sample dates, unless monthly monitoring has been instituted under a "Tier Two" response. Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and recorded on the DMR. The permittee must report the results from each sample taken within the monitoring period (see Part 11I, Section E). However, for purposes of benchmark comparison and Tiered response actions, the permittee shall use the analytical results from the first sample with valid results within the monitoring period.

The permittee must submit an application for renewal of coverage before the submittal deadline (HO days before expiration) to be considered for renewed coverage under the permit The permittee must continue analytical monitoring throughout the permit renewal process, even if a renewal permit is not issued until after expiration of this permit. 2 If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating "No Flow" or "No Discharge" within 30 days of the end of the sampling period. Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period. "No discharge" from an outfall during a monitoring period does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is properly recorded and reported. The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3. 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. See below the descriptions of Tier One, Tier Two, and Tier Three response actions below. In the event that the Division releases the permittee from continued monthly monitoring and reporting under Tier Two or Tier Three, the Division's release Ietter may remain in effect through subsequent reissuance of this permit, unless the release letter provides for other conditions or duration.

An exceedance of a stormwater benchmark value is not a permit violation; however, failure to respond to the exceedance as outlined in this permit is a violation of permit conditions. Part II Page 7 of 15 Permit No. NCS000591 Tier One If: The first valid sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at any outfall; Then: The permittee shall: 1. Conduct a stormwater management inspection of the facility within two weeks of receiving sampling results. 2. Identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedance. 3. Identify potential, and select the specific feasible: source controls, operational controls, or physical improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern, and/or to bring concentrations within the benchmark range. 4. Implement the selected feasible actions within two months of the inspection. S. Record each instance of a Tier One response in the SPPP. Include the date and value of the benchmark exceedence, the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the selected actions, and the date the selected actions were implemented. 6. Note: Benchmark exceedances for a different parameter separately trigger a tiered response. Tier Two If. The first valid sampling results from two consecutive monitoring periods (omitting periods with no discharge) are above the benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall; Then: The permittee shall: 1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier One. 2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring and reporting for all parameters. The permittee shall conduct monthly monitoring at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples. Monthly (analytical and qualitative) monitoring shall continue until three consecutive sample results are below the benchmark values or within benchmark range. 3. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee is required to submit a monthly monitoring report indicating "No Flow" to comply with reporting requirements. 4. Alternatively, in lieu of steps 2 and 3, the permittee may, after two consecutive exceedances, exercise the option of contacting the DEMLR Regional Engineer as provided below in Tier Three. The Regional Engineer may direct the response actions on the part of the permittee as provided in Tier Three, including reduced or additional sampling parameters or frequency. 5. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the SPPP. 6. Continue Tier Two response obligations throughout the permit renewal process. Tier Three 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 four occasions, the permittee shall notify the DEMLR Regional Engineer in writing within 30 days of receipt of the fourth analvtical results: Then: The Division may but is not limited to: • require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring and reporting frequency for some or all of the parameters herein; • require sampling of additional or substitute parameters; • require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls; • require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures; • require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize impacts on receiving waters;,or • require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion; • require the permittee to continue Tier Three obligations through the permit renewal process. Part II Page 8 of 15 Permit No. NCS000591 This site discharges to impaired waters experiencing problems with turbidity (North Second Creek) and problems with nutrients and pH (High Rock Lake watershed). A TMDL was developed in 2011 for this section of North Second Creek for turbidity. If a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is approved for this segment of High Rock Lake, the permittee may be required to monitor for the pollutant(s) of concern in the future and submit results to the Division. 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 of those BMPs into the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and identify new potential sources of stormwater pollution. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls must be performed during a measurable storm event. Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of representative outfall status. Qualitative monitoring shall be performed semi-annually as specified in Table 4, and during required analytical monitoring events (unless the permittee is required to perform further qualitative monitoring per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below). Inability to monitor because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and recorded on the Qualitative Monitoring Report form (see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must be monitored (See Definitions). 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. Part II Page 9 of 15 Permit No. NCS000591 Table 4.

See Table 2 for schedule of monitoring periods through the end of this permitting cycle. The permittee must continue qualitative monitoring throughout the permit renewal process until a new permit is issued. 2 Monitoring Location: Qualitative monitoring shall be performed at each stormwater discharge outfall (00) regardless of representative outfall status. A minimum of 60 days must separate monitoring dates, unless additional sampling has been instituted as part of other analytical monitoring requirements in this permit. If the permittee's qualitative monitoring indicates that existing stormwater SMPs are ineffective, or that significant stormwater contamination is present, the permittee shall investigate potential causes, evaluate the feasibility of corrective actions, and implement those corrective actions within 60 days, per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below. A written record of the permittee's investigation, evaluation, and response actions shall be kept in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. Part II Page 10 of 1S Permit No. NCS000591 Qualitative Monitoring Response - � - -� Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluating SPPP effectiveness, identifying new potential sources of stormwater pollution, and prompting the permittee's response to pollution. If the permittee repeatedly fails to respond effectively to correct problems identified by qualitative monitoring, or if the discharge causes or contributes to a water quality standard violation, the Division may but is not limited to: • require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring frequency for some or all parameters (analytical or qualitative) • require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls; • require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures; • require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize impacts on receiving waters; or • require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion. SECTION D: ON -SITE VEHICLE MAINTENANCE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Facilities that have any vehicle maintenance activity occurring on -site which uses more than 55 gallons of new motor oil per month when averaged over the calendar year shall perform analytical monitoring as specified below in Table 5. All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at all stormwater discharge outfalls (SDOs) that discharge stormwater runoff from vehicle maintenance areas, and in accordance with the schedule presented in Table 2 (Section B). Table 5.

See Table 2 for schedule of monitoring periods through the end of this permitting cycle. If the facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or Three response actions under the previous permit, the facility shall continue a monthly monitoring and reporting schedule in Tier Two or Tier Three status until relieved by the provisions of this permit or the Division. Z Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. When physical separation between outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, sampling shall be begun within the first 30 minutes, and shall continue until completed. 3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) that discharges stormwater runoff from area(s) where vehicle maintenance activities occur, unless representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the letter granting ROS shall be kept on site. 4 For each sampled measureable storm event the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge is required. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain gauge may be substituted for an on -site reading, Part II Page 11 of 15 Permit No. NCS000591 Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period, as provided in Part II Section B. Monitoring results shall be compared to the benchmark values in Table 6. The benchmark values in Table 6 are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for the permittee's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs), as provided in Part II Section B.

Such discharges shall be controlled, limited and monitored as specified in this 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. Any owner or operator wishing to obtain a No Exposure Exclusion must submit a No Exposure Certification Notice of Intent (NQI) form to the Division; must receive approval by the Division; must maintain no exposure conditions unless authorized to discharge under a valid NPDES stormwater permit; and must recertify the No Exposure Exclusion annually. SECTION B: PERMITTED ACTIVITIES Until this permit expires or is modified or revoked, the permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater to the surface waters of North Carolina or separate storm sewer system that has been adequately treated and managed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this permit. All stormwater discharges shall be in accordance with the conditions of this permit. Any other point source discharge to surface waters of the state is prohibited unless it is an allowable non-stormwater discharge or is covered by another permit, authorization, or approval. The stormwater discharges allowed by this permit shall not cause or contribute to violations of Water Quality Standards. . This permit does not relieve the permittee from responsibility for compliance with any other applicable federal, state, or local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or decree.

The SPPP shall be maintained on site unless exempted from this requirement by the Division. The SPPP is public information in accordance with Part III, Standard Conditions, Section E, paragraph 3 of this permit. The SPPP shall include, at a minimum, the following items: Site Overview. The Site Overview shall provide a description of the physical facility and the potential pollutant sources that may be expected to contribute to contamination of stormwater discharges. The Site Overview 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 waters to which the stormwater outfalls discharge, 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 points of stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity. The general location map (or alternatively the site map) shall identify whether any receiving waters are impaired (on the state's 303 (d) list of impaired waters) or if the site is located in a watershed for which a TMDL has been established, and what the parameters of concern are. (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. A narrative description of the potential pollutants that could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall. (c) A site map drawn at a scale sufficient to clearly depict: 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 and finished grade; all drainage features and structures; drainage area boundaries and total contributing area for each outfall; direction of flow in each drainage area; industrial activities occurring in each drainage area; buildings; stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs); and impervious surfaces. The site map must indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious, and the site map must include a graphic scale indication and north arrow. (d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants during the previous three (3) years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts. Partl l Page 1 of 15 Permit No. NCS000591 (e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. The permittee shall re -certify annually 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 Strategy. The Stormwater Management Strategy shall contain a narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or minimize the stormwater exposure of significant materials, including structural and nonstructural measures. The Stormwater Management Strategy, 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 rainfall and run-on Flows. 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, this review shall document the feasibility of diverting the stormwater run-on 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 the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority chemicals; and storage in any amount of hazardous substancgs, in order to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. A table or summary of all such tanks and stared materials and their associated secondary containment areas shall be maintained. If the secondary containment devices are connected 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). 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 any material. 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 (5) years. For facilities subject to a federal oil Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC), any portion of the SPCC Plan fully compliant with the requirements of this permit may be used to demonstrate compliance with this permit. The Division may allow exceptions to secondary containment requirements for mobile refuelers, as with the exemption provided by amendments to federal SPCC regulations, as long as appropriate spill containment and/or diversionary structures or equipment is used to prevent discharge to surface waters. Exceptions do not apply to refuelers or other mobile tankage used primarily as bulk liquid material storage in a fixed location in place of stationary containers. (c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management Practices (BMPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs Part I I Page 2 of 15 Permit No. NCSOOOS91 shall be based on the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and on data collected through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually. Spill Prevention and Response Procedures. The Spill Prevention and Response Procedures (SPRP) shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials inventory of the facility. Facility personnel 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 increased 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. 4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance and good housekeeping program shall be developed and implemented. The program shall address all stormwater control systems (if applicable), 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 areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads), all drainage features and structures, and existing structural BMPs. The program shall establish schedules of inspections, maintenance, 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 where not already addressed under another element of the SPPP. 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 and maintained in the SPPP. 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 June), and once during the second half (July to December), with at least 60 days separating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently than semi-annually). These facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring at the outfalls required in Part lI B, C, and D of this permit. 6. Employee Training. Training 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. The facility Part 11 Page 3 of 15 Permit No. NCS000591 personnel responsible for implementing the training shall be identified, and their annual training shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained. 7. Responsible Party. The SPPP shall identify a specific position or positions responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision of the SPPP. Responsibilities for all components of the SPPP shall be documented and position assignments provided. 8. SPPP Amendment and Annual Update. The permittee shall amend the SPPP whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, site drainage, maintenance, or configuration of the physical features which may have a significant effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of the SPPP shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. The annual update shall include: (a) an updated list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous three (3) years, or the notation that no spills have occurred (element of the Site Overview); (b) a written re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges (element of the Site Overview); (c) a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the on -site stormwater BMPs (BMPSummary element of the Stormwater Management Strategy). (d) a review and comparison of sample analytical data to benchmark values (if applicable) over the past year, including a discussion about Tiered Response status. The permittee shall use the Division's Annual Summary Data Monitoring Report (DMR) form, available from the Stormwater Permitting Program's website (See 'Monitoring Forms' here: htt}): f ldeq.tic.gov/about/divisions%energy-mineral-land-resources/energy- mineral-land-permits/stormwater-permits/npdes-industrial-sw). The Director may notify the permittee when the SPPP 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 SPPP 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. 9. SPPP Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and all appropriate BMPs consistent with the provisions of this permit, in order to control contaminants entering surface waters via stormwater. Implementation of the SPPP shall include documentation of all monitoring, measurements, 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 (S) years and made available to the Director or the Director's authorized representative immediately upon request. Part II Page 4 of 15 Permit No. NCS000591 SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1. All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must be sampled (See Definitions). A measurable storm event is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the permitted site outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours prior. The 72-hour storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a shorter interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and the permittee obtains approval from the local DEMLR Regional Engineer. See Definitions. Table 1. Analytical Monitoring Requirements Discharge Characteristics Units Measurement . Fre uenc l • Sample .

When physical separation between outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, sampling shall begin within the first 30 minutes, and shall continue until completed. 3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the Division's letter granting ROS shall be kept on site. h For each sampled measureable storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge is required. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain gauge reading may be substituted for an on -site reading. Part II Page 5 of 15 Permit No. NC5000591 The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified below in Table 2, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection (see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Sampling is not required outside of the facility's normal operating hours. A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2 sample dates, unless monthly monitoring has been instituted under a "Tier Two" response. Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and recorded on the DMR. The permittee must report the results from each sample taken within the monitoring period (see Part 111, Section E). However, for purposes of benchmark comparison and Tiered response actions, the permittee shall use the analytical results from the first sample with valid results within the monitoring period.

The permittee must submit an application for renewal of coverage before the submittal deadline (180 days before expiration) to be considered for renewed coverage under the permit. The permittee must continue analytical monitoring throughout the permit renewal process, even if a renewal permit is not issued until after expiration of this permit. 2 If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating "Ne Flow" or "No Discharge" within 30 days of the end of the sampling period. Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period. "No discharge" from an outfall during a monitoring period does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is properly recorded and reported. The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3. 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. See below the descriptions of Tier One, Tier Two, and Tier Three response actions below. In the event that the Division releases the permittee from continued monthly monitoring and reporting under Tier Two or Tier Three, the Division's release letter may remain in effect through subsequent reissuance of this permit, unless the release letter provides for other conditions or duration. Part II Page 6 of 15 Permit No. NCS000591 Table 3. Benchmark Values for Analytical Monitoring Discharge Characteristics :_: " Units' Benchmark Total Suspended Solids (TSS) mg/L 100 Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) mg/L 30 Non -Polar Oil & Grease by EPA Method1664 (SGT-HEM) mg/L 15 Total Nitrogen (TN) mg/L 30 Total Phosphorous (TP) mg/L 2 pH —7—standard 6-9 The benchmark values in Table 3 are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for implementation of the permittee's SPPP. An exceedance of a stormwater benchmark value is not a permit violation; however, failure to respond to the exceedance as outlined in this permit is a violation of permit conditions. Partll Page 7 of 1S Permit No. NCS000591 Tier One If: The first valid sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any ammeter at any outfall; Then: The permittee shall: 1. Conduct a stormwater management inspection of the facility within two weeks of receiving sampling results. 2. Identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedance. 3. Identify potential, and select the specific feasible: source controls, operational controls, or physical improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern, and/or to bring concentrations within the benchmark range. 4. Implement the selected feasible actions within two months of the inspection. S. Record each instance of a Tier One response in the SPPP. Include the date and value of the benchmark exceedence, the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the selected actions, and the date the selected actions were implemented. 6. Note: Benchmark exceedances for a different parameter separately trigger a tiered response. Tier Two If: The first valid sampling results from two consecutive monitoring periods (omitting periods with no discharge) are above the benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall; Then: The permittee shall: 1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier One. 2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring and reporting for all parameters. The permittee shall conduct monthly monitoring at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples. Monthly (analytical and qualitative) monitoring shall continue until three consecutive sample results are below the benchmark values or within benchmark range. 3. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee is required to submit a monthly monitoring report indicating "No Flow" to comply with reporting requirements. 4. Alternatively, in lieu of steps 2 and 3, the permittee may, after two consecutive exceedances, exercise the option of contacting the DEMLR Regional Engineer as provided below in Tier Three. The Regional Engineer may direct the response actions on the part of the permittee as provided in Tier Three, including reduced or additional sampling parameters or frequency. S. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the SPPP. 6. Continue Tier Two response obligations throughout the permit renewal process. Tier Three 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 four occasions, the permittee shall notify the DEMLR Regional Engineer in writing within 30 days of receipt of the fourth analytical results; Then: The Division may but is not limited to: • require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring and reporting frequency for some or all of the parameters herein; • require sampling of additional or substitute parameters; • require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls; • require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures; • require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize impacts on receiving waters; or • require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion; • require the permittee to continue Tier Three obligations through the permit renewal process. Part 11 Page 8 of 15 Permit No. NCS000591 This site discharges to impaired waters experiencing problems with turbidity (North Second Creek) and problems with nutrients and pH (High Rock Lake watershed). A TMDL was developed in 2011 for this section of North Second Creek for turbidity. If a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is approved for this segment of High Rock Lake, the permittee may be required to monitor for the pollutant(s) of concern in the future and submit results to the Division. 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 of those BMPs into the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and identify new potential sources of stormwater pollution. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls must be performed during a measurable storm event. Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of representative outfall status. Qualitative monitoring shall be performed semi-annually as specified in Table 4, and during required analytical monitoring events (unless the permittee is required to perform further qualitative monitoring per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below). Inability to monitor because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and recorded on the Qualitative Monitoring Report form (see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must be monitored (See Definitions). 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. Part 11 Page 9 of 15 Permit No. NCS000591 Table 4.

The permittee must continue qualitative monitoring throughout the permit renewal process until a new permit is issued. 2 Monitoring Location: Qualitative monitoring shall be performed at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) regardless of representative outfall status. A minimum of 60 days must separate monitoring dates, unless additional sampling has been instituted as part of other analytical monitoring requirements in this permit. If the permittee's qualitative monitoring indicates that existing stormwater BMPs are ineffective, or that significant stormwater contamination is present, the permittee shall investigate potential causes, evaluate the feasibility of corrective actions, and implement those corrective actions within 60 days, per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below. A written record of the permittee's investigation, evaluation, and response actions shall be kept in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. Part 11 Page 10 of 15 Permit No. NCS000591 Qualitative Monitoring Response Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluating SPPP effectiveness, identifying new potential sources of stormwater pollution, and prompting the permittee's response to pollution. If the permittee repeatedly fails to respond effectively to correct problems identified by qualitative monitoring, or if the discharge causes or contributes to a water quality standard violation, the Division may but is not limited to: • require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring frequency for some or all parameters (analytical or qualitative) • require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls; • require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures; • require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize impacts on receiving waters; or • require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion. SECTION D. ON -SITE VEHICLE MAINTENANCE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Facilities that have any vehicle maintenance activity occurring on -site which uses more than 55 gallons of new motor oil per month when averaged over the calendar year shall perform analytical monitoring as specified below in Table 5. All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at all stormwater discharge outfalls (SDOs) that discharge stormwater runoff from vehicle maintenance areas, and in accordance with the schedule presented in Table 2 (Section B).

If the facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or Three response actions under the previous permit, the facility shall continue a monthly monitoring and reporting schedule in Tier Two or Tier Three status until relieved by the provisions of this permit or the Division. 2 Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. When physical separation between outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, sampling shall be begun within the first 30 minutes, and shall continue until completed. 3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) that discharges stormwater runoff from area(s) where vehicle maintenance activities occur, unless representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the letter granting ROS shall be kept on site. 4 For each sampled measureable storm event the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge is required. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain gauge may be substituted for an on -site reading. Part ll Page 11 of 1 S Permit No. NCS000591 Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring monthly monitoring for ail parameters for a specified time period, as provided in Part I1 Section B. Monitoring results shall be compared to the benchmark values in Table 6. The benchmark values in Table 6 are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for the permittee's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPS), as provided in Part 11 Section B.

J�1 Effective December 21, 2016 or when the agency's electronic reporting system is able to accept NPDES stormwater permit monitoring data, the permittee shall report discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application. NC DEMLR will notify permittees when eDMR is ready to accept stormwater monitoring data. Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and submitted electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted facilities to enter monitoring data and submit DM Rs electronically using the internet. Until such time that the state's eDMR application is compliant with EPA's Cross -Media Electronic Reporting Regulation (CROMERR), permittees will be required to submit all discharge monitoring data to the state electronically using eDMR and also will be required to complete the eDMR submission by printing, signing, and submitting one signed original and a copy of the computer printed eDMR to the following address: NC Dept. of Environmental Quality DWR Central Files 512 N. Salisbury St. 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due to the facility being physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the households have broadband access, then a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements may be granted and discharge monitoring data may be submitted on paper DMR forms or alternative forms approved by the Director. Duplicate signed copies shall be submitted to the mailing address above. See "How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting" section below. Part 11 Page 13 of 15 Permit No. NCS000591 Regardless of the submission method, the first DMR is due no later than 30 days from the date the facility receives the sampling results from the laboratory. 2. How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting The permittee may seek a temporary electronic reporting waiver from the Division. To obtain an electronic reporting waiver, a permittee must first submit an electronic reporting waiver request to the Division. Requests for temporary electronic reporting waivers must be submitted in writing to the Division for written approval at least sixty (60) days prior to the date the facility would be required under this permit to begin submitting monitoring data and reports. The duration of a temporary waiver shall not exceed 5 years and shall thereupon expire. At such time, monitoring data and reports shall be submitted electronically to the Division unless the permittee re -applies for and is granted a new temporary electronic reporting waiver by the Division. Approved electronic reporting waivers are not transferrable. Only permittees with an approved reporting waiver request may submit monitoring data and reports on paper to the Division for the period that the approved reporting waiver request is effective.

Part 11 Page 1 of 15 Permit No. NCS000591 (e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. The permittee shall re -certify annually 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 11I, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3. 2. Stormwater Management Strategy. The Stormwater Management Strategy shall contain a narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or minimize the stormwater exposure of significant materials, including structural and nonstructural measures. The Stormwater Management Strategy, 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 rainfall and runes-on,flows. Wherever practical, the permittee shall prevent exposure of all storage areas material handling operations, and manufacturing or fueling operations. I`nareas where elimination of exposure is not practical, this review shall document.the feasibility of diverting the stormwater run-on away from areas of potential contamination. (b) Secondary Containment Requireineks afid Records. Secondary containment is required for: bulk storage.of liquid materials; storage in any amount of Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund�Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority chemicals; and storage•in any amount of hazardous substances, in order to prevent leaks and spills fromon Laminating stormwater runoff. A table or summary of all such tanks and/ tored materials and their associated secondary containment areas shall be mainta ned..If the secondary containment devices are connected 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). 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 any material. 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 (5) years. For facilities subject to a federal oil Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC), any portion of the SPCC Plan fully compliant with the requirements of this permit may be used to demonstrate compliance with this permit. The Division may allow exceptions to secondary containment requirements for mobile refuelers, as with the exemption provided by amendments to federal SPCC regulations, as long as appropriate spill containment and/or diversionary structures or equipment is used to prevent discharge to surface waters. Exceptions do not apply to refuelers or other mobile tankage used primarily as bulk liquid material storage in a fixed location in place of stationary containers. (c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management Practices (BMPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs Part H Page 2 of lS Permit No. NCS000591 shall be based on the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and on data collected through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually. Spill Prevention and Response Procedures. The Spill Prevention and Response Procedures (SPRP) shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials inventory of the facility. Facility personnel 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 increased potential to contaminate stormwater runoffeth rdugh spills or exposure of zz materials associated with the facility operations.,sThe SPRP must be site stormwater specific. Therefore, an oil Spill Prevention Control an�d'Countermeasure plan (SPCC) may be a component of the SPRP, but may not be•suffici nt.t completely address the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The commonelements of the SPCC with the SPRP may be incorporated by reference into the SPRP.��\ /..-, v 4. Preventative Maintenance and GoodlMouseiteeping Program. A preventative maintenance and good housekeeping progra shall be developed and implemented. The program shall address Al stormwater control systems (if applicable), 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 areas, loading and,unloading areas, and haul roads), all drainage features and NO structures, and existing,structuralrBMPs. The program shall establish schedules of inspections, maintenancLnd�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 where not already addressed under another element of the SPPP. 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 and maintained in the SPPP. 5, 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 June), and once during the second half (July to December), with at least 60 days separating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently than semi-annually).

Implementation of the SPPP shall include documentation of all monitoring, measurements, 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 (5) years and made available to the Director or the Director's authorized representative immediately upon request. Part II Page 4 of 15 Permit No. NCS000591 SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1. All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must be sampled (See Definitions). A measurable storm event is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the permitted site outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours prior. The 72-hour storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a shorter interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and the permittee obtains approval from the local DEMLR Regional Engineer.

If the facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or Three response actions under the previous permit, the facility shall continue a monthly monitoring and reporting schedule in Tier Two or Tier Three status until relieved by the provisions of this permit or the Division. 2 Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. When physical separation between outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, sampling shall begin within the first 30 minutes, and shall continue until completed. 3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the Division's letter granting ROS shall be kept on site. 4 For each sampled measureable storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge is required. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain gauge reading may be substituted for an on -site reading. Part II Page 5 of 15 Permit No. NCS000591 The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified below in Table 2, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection (see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Sampling is not required outside of the facility's normal operating hours. A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2 sample dates, unless monthly monitoring has been instituted under a "Tier Two" response. Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and recorded on the DMR. The permittee must report the results from each sample taken within the monitoring period (see Part III, Section E). However, for purposes of benchmark comparison and Tiered response actions, the permittee shall use the analytical results from the first sample with valid results within the monitoring period.

The permittee must continue analytical monitoring throughout the permit renewal process, even if a renewal permit is not issued until after expiration of this permit. 2 If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating "No Flow' or "No Discharge" within 30 days of the end of the sampling period. Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period. "No discharge" from an outfall during a monitoring period does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is properly recorded and reported. The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3. 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. See below the descriptions of Tier One, Tier Two, and Tier Three response actions below. In the event that the Division releases the permittee from continued monthly monitoring and reporting under Tier Two or Tier Three, the Division's release letter may remain in effect through subsequent reissuance of this permit, unless the release letter provides for other conditions or duration.

The first valid sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at any outfall; Then: The permittee shall: I. Conduct a stormwater management inspection of the facility within two weeks of receiving sampling results. 2. Identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedance. 3. Identify potential, and select the specific feasible: source controls, operational controls, or physical improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern, and/or to bring concentrations within the benchmark range. 4. Implement the selected feasible actions within two months of the inspection. 5. Record each instance of a Tier One response in the SPPP. Include the date and value of the benchmark exceedence, the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the selected actions, and the date the selected actions were implemented. 6. Note: Benchmark exceedances for a different parameter separately triRRer a tiered response. Tier Two If: The first valid sampling results from two consecutive monitoring periods (omitting periods with no discharge) are above the benchmark values, or outsid&of thebenchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall; Then: The permittee shall: 1. Repeat all the required actions outlined aboveA/Tie)r/'Onee. 2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring and reporting for all parameters. The permittee shall conduct monthly monitoring at every outfall where,a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples. Monthly (analyticahand qualitative) monitoring shall continue until three consecutive sample results aresbelow ttie benchmark values or within benchmark range. 3. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee is required to submit a monthly monitoring report indicating "No Flow" to comply with reporting requirements. 4. Alternotively, in lieu of steps Z,and;3, the permittee may, after two consecutive exceedances, exercise the option of contacting the DEMLR-Regional Engineer as provided below in Tier Three. The Regional Engineer may direct the response actions on the part of the permittee as provided in Tier Three, including reduced or additional sampling parameters or -frequency. S. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the SPPP. 6. Continue Tier Two response obligations throughout the permit renewal process. Tier Three 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 four occasions, the permittee shall notify the DEMLR Regional Engineer in writing within 30 days of receipt of the fourth analvtical results: Then: The Division may but is not limited to: • require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring and reporting frequency for some or all of the parameters herein; • require sampling of additional or substitute parameters; • require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls; • require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures; • require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize impacts on receiving waters; or • require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion; • require the permittee to continue Tier Three obligations through the permit renewal Part 11 Page 8 of 15 Permit No. NCS000591 This site discharges to impaired waters experiencing problems with turbidity (North Second Creek) and problems with nutrients and pH (High Rock Lake watershed). A TMDL was developed in 2011 for this section of North Second Creek for turbidity. If a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is approved for this segment of High Rock Lake, the permittee may be required to monitor for the pollutant(s) of concern in the future and submit results to the Division. 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 of those BMPs into the Stormwaterr Pollution Prevention Plan. SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQU The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and identify new potential sources of stormwater pollution. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls must be performed during a measurable storm event. Qualitative monitoring requires. vis; al inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of representative outfall status. Qualitative monitoring shall be performed semi-annually as specified in Table 4, and during required analytical monitoring events (unless the permittee is required to perform further qualitative monitoring per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below). Inability to_monitor because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and-rec rded on the Qualitative Monitoring Report form (see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must be monitored (See Definitions). 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.

If the permittee's qualitative monitoring indicates that existing stormwater BMPs are ineffective, or that significant stormwater contamination is present, the permittee shall investigate potential causes, evaluate the feasibility of corrective actions, and implement those corrective actions within 60 days, per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below. A written record of the permittee's investigation, evaluation, and response actions shall be kept in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. Part 11 Page 10 of 15 Permit No. NCS000591 Qualitative Monitoring Response Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluating SPPP effectiveness, identifying new potential sources of stormwater pollution, and prompting the permittee's response to pollution. If the permittee repeatedly fails to respond effectively to correct problems identified by qualitative monitoring, or if the discharge causes or contributes to a water quality standard violation, the Division may but is not limited to: • require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring frequency for some or all parameters (analytical or qualitative) • require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls; • require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures; • require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize impacts on receiving waters; or • require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion. 6 SECTION D: ON -SITE VEHICLE MAINTENANCE M�TORIINNGREQUIREMENTS Facilities that have an vehicle maintenance activit' �oceurrin on -site which uses more than 55 gallons of new motor oil per month when a raged over the calendar year shall perform analytical monitoring as specified below_In Table 5. All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at all stormwater discharge outfalls (SDOs) that discharge stormwater runoff from vehicle maintenance areas, and in accordance with the schedule.p esented,inn Table 2 (Section B).

If the facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or Three response actions under the previous permit, the facility shall continue a monthly monitoring and reporting schedule in Tier Two or Tier Three status until relieved by the provisions of this permit or the Division. Z Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. When physical separation between outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, sampling shall be begun within the first 30 minutes, and shall continue until completed. 3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) that discharges stormwater runoff from area(s) where vehicle maintenance activities occur, unless representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the letter granting ROS shall be kept on site. 4 For each sampled measureable storm event the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge is required. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain gauge may be substituted for an on -site reading. Part II Page 11 of 15 Permit No. NCS000591 Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period, as provided in Part II Section B. Monitoring results shall be compared to the benchmark values in Table 6. The benchmark values in Table 6 are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for the permittee's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs), as provided in Part 11 Section B.

Special Issues: Stormwater is currently part of a combined WW and SW permit NC0004944. SW is being separated from WW during this renewal. 2. Changes at the facility since previous permit: Previously owned by Performance Fibers Operations, Inc. 3. Receiving Waters: Withrow Creek is not listed as impaired in either the final 2014 or , draft 2016 303(d) list. North Second Creek is impaired for turbidity. This stream is included in a TDML for turbidity approved in 2011. This site is also located in the High Rock Lake watershed, which is impaired for nutrients, turbidity, and pH.

Threatened and Endangered Species: None identified on NC Natural Heritage Program Map. 5. Analytical and Jor qualitative monitoring during this past permit cycle: See Table 1. The past permit term required semi-annual sampling of all 5 SDO's. Semi-annual data was not able to be located for most years except 2013-2014.

Rationale for monitoring parameters: Propose maintaining all parameters based on the industrial activities, chemicals, and the impairment and TMDL for turbidity, nutrients, and pH. Although the analysis is the same, the parameter name "Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH)" for stormwater discharges associated with vehicle maintenance has been replaced by "Non -polar Oil & Grease by EPA Method 1664 (SGT-HEM)." This description causes less confusion for permittees and their laboratories because the request for "TPH" can be confused with more expensive gas chromatography tests for this group of compounds. Non -polar 0&G continues to be a useful indicator for targeting petroleum -based oils and greases. Also, see attached staff report from previous proposed permit. 7. Permit Facility, and Owner Contacts updates: ® Confirmed contact information with permittee and updated BIMS if necessary. ® Obtained e-mail addresses for each contact and updated BIMS. 8. Annual Fees: ® Confirmed in BIMS that permittee does not owe fees. Recommendations: Based on the documents reviewed, the application information submitted on February 23, 2016 is sufficient to issue an Individual NPDES Stormwater Permit. Central Office recommends reissuance of this permit with mostly the same monitoring as the previous cycle.

Impairment: Withrow Creek is impacted (likely source is agriculture), but not impaired. North Second Creek is listed as an impaired stream because of impacted biological integrity and turbidity problems. This site is also located in the High Rock Lake watershed, which is severely affected by excess nutrients and sediment problems. A TMDL for High Rock Lake is under development. Draft permit incorporates TMDL language in the analytical monitoring section and maintains nutrient monitoring. 2. Threatened and Endangered: None identified in NC Natural Heritage Program Virtual Workroom databases. 3. Stormwater Effluent Guidelines: None from 40 CFR §414 applicable to this activity. 4. EPA MultiSector General Permit: EPA's 2008 MSGP (Sector C, SIC 2821) requires zinc monitoring for this industry SICs; however, there are no apparent zinc sources in the industrial activities at this site. The reviewer does not recommend zinc monitoring be added at this renewal. 5. Location: This site discharges stormwater through five (5) stormwater discharge outfalls: SDOs A, B, C, D, and S. SDOs A, C, and D discharge to Withrow creek; SDO B and 5 discharge to North Second Creek. SDO 5 collects stormwater from the main manufacturing areas of the site and discharges through a system of diverter weirs to the WWTP headworks or Number 2 Polishing Pond (this is where dry weather spills would be routed). Excess water in large storms that overflows the diverter weirs goes directly to North Second Creek. Industrial Changes Since Previous Permit: There is a groundwater remediation program to treat ethylene glycol contamination (interior system) in the WWTP and 1,4-dioxane (perimeter system) in the polishing ponds. The program has been shut down for a trial period with EPA approval, and future operation is unlikely, but the final decision is still pending. Also, production has declined over the past 10 years, and about half of the site is shutdown. The only product now manufactured is polyester filament. All tanks associated with the staple operation (south of the main building) have been emptied and cleaned. Analytical Monitoring Notes: See Table 1 for summary of maximum values. The plant monitored conventional pollutants and total toxic organics (TTO) annually during the previous permit term. The only test result above detection limits was methylene chloride in the sample from SDO B in 2006 (just above detect). [Methylene chloride is a very common lab contaminant, and given no other detects at this site, contamination is the likely explanation.] Note the facility sampled for ammonia (not part of the SW sampling parameters). According to the application, facility only sampled for TN and TP 2 times (instead of 4 like the others). 8. Qualitative Monitoring Notes: Summary not provided (requested by reviewer). Additional info. provided sample inspection form. 9. Compliance Notes: [None related to stormwater.

Maximum from four (4) samples. --- - -� r Page 4 of 5 Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring: Reviewer recommends maintaining most parameters except Total Toxic Organics (TTO). None of the concentrations indicates a problem, and the methylene chloride detect was likely attributable to laboratory contamination (the benchmark of 110 mg/I is also far above 2.1 pg/l.) Ammonia was not required by the permit, and based on sampled concentrations, reviewer does not see necessity to add it as a parameter to the stormwater monitoring. Removing flow monitoring (no longer routinely required in stormwater permits). The raw materials include ethylene glycol, terephthalic acid, and fiber finish lubricants. Renewal permit retains BOD and TSS at all outfalls because appropriate indicators for stormwater pollution from the industrial activities and chemicals (including ethylene glycol, which exerts high BOD) stored here. Replacing Oil and Grease with TPH, or total petroleum hydrocarbons, as measured by Method 1664-A (SGT-HEM). TPH targets petroleum -based hydrocarbons (rather than including animal and vegetable based greases and oils). The parameter is the same as what is now required for vehicle maintenance areas; the TPH benchmark is 15 mg/I (instead of 30 mg/l). Permit retains pH monitoring, especially since some values were below the benchmark range of 6-9 SU. Permit retains Total Nitrogen (TN) and Total Phosphorus (TP) at all outfalls because discharge is to the nutrient sensitive High Rock Lake watershed. However, past monitoring from four samples indicate levels may not be of concern. Recommend discontinuing nutrient monitoring after four more samples. Monitoring frequency will change to semi-annually through the permit term, and qualitative monitoring will coincide with analytical sampling events. Introducing tiered response structure to benchmark exceedances to be consistent with current stormwater individual permits. Discussions with permit contact: 1/25/2010 Steve Lamb, 704-636-6000 (ext. 4862): 1. Q: Has there been a final decision about the groundwater remediation system? ANSWER: Responsibility is with Celanese in Dallas, TX. Regardless, would not affect stormwater discharges. 2. Q: Are there any sources of zinc at this facility or in its activities? ANSWER: Cooling water treatment system may have zinc; blowdown discharges to WWTP. NPDES permit allows toxicity testing in lieu of zinc or copper limits (per NC Action Level policy). 3. Q: What is stored where on site? (Numbers on site plan are pretty small; verify location of ethylene glycol tanks, etc.) a. ANSWER: Glycol tank farm is at the back of the plant, near the railroad tracks. These all drain to a stormwater diverter system, which routes the first flush to the head works of the WWTP, and after 20 minutes or so, routes the rest to the polishing ponds (middle of wastewater treatment). SDO 5 is part of that system, so there's hardly ever a discharge there without treatment, except in a very large storm event that would cause it to overflow (2/13/08 sample? May not have been diverted. Advised that sampling for this SDO not required unless it does not go to the WWTP.)

Salisbury Permit Renewal NPDES Permit ## NCO004944 Rowan County RECEIVEMCDEUDWR FEB 2 3 Z016 Water Quality Permitting Section Performance Fibers Operations, Inc. owns and operates a polyester manufacturing facility in Salisbury, North Carolina. Process wastewater and stormwater is discharged to North Second Creek in accordance with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit Number NC0004944, which expires March 31, 2014. Three copies of this letter and the attached permit application are being submitted for renewal of the NPDES Permit. This letter provides an overview of the Performance Fibers Operations, Inc. Salisbury facility, and Attachment A includes the permit renewal application. I. Facility Location The Performance Fibers Operations, Inc, facility is located on the south side of U.S. Highway 70 approximately 4 miles west of Salisbury, North Carolina, near the intersection of Highway 70 and State Highway 801. The facility's location is presented on Figure 1 in Attachment A, which also shows nearby transportation routes and surface waters. II. Plant Overview Performance Fibers Operations, Inc. manufactures polyester in the form of chip and fiber at its Salisbury, North Carolina, facility. Primary raw materials in these manufacturing processes include terephthalic acid, ethylene glycol, and fiber finish lubricants (see Figure 2 in Attachment A). Process wastewater, groundwater, sanitary wastewater, cooling tower blowdown, and water treatment plant blowdown are treated onsite before being discharged to North Second Creek. 7401 STATESVILLE B1,VD I SALISBURY, NC 26147 1 TEL 704-636-6000 www.performanccfibers.com Performance Wastewater treatment consists of coarse solids removal (bar screen), equalization, biological treatment (activated sludge), and clarification, followed by a series of polishing ponds, as presented on Figure 3 in Attachment A. Waste biological sludge is aerobically digested and dewatered. Dewatered solids are disposed of off -site by Waste Management, Inc. at the local Rowan County Landfill. The ground water remediation program at the site has been shutdown during a trial period with EPA approval. Future operation of the pump -and -treat remediation is unlikely but the final decision as to whether or not to operate the pump -and -treat system has not been made. When this remediation system is operating the water is treated in the waste treatment plant. Recovered groundwater from the interior system contains primarily ethylene glycol and is anaerobicaliy pi-etreated before being discharged to the equalization tank for treatment in the WWTP. Recovered groundwater from the perimeter system contains 1,4-dioxane as the major pollutant and is discharged through the polishing ponds to Outfall 001 to North Second Creek. The plant discharges storm water associated with industrial activity through five stormwater outfalls (A,B,C,D and 5) as presented on Figure 1 in Attachment A. Stormwater Outfall #5 collects stormwater from the main manufacturing areas of the site, where spills are more likely or chemicals are stored. Outfall #5 collects stormwater from a system of diverter weirs that route dry weather spills and the first flush of storm water runoff to either the WWTP headworks or Number 2 Polishing Pond. As the storm water volume increases in the diverter system, flow continues to be discharged to either the WWTP or Number 2 polishing pond with the excess water that overflows the diverter weirs being discharged directly to North Second Creek. All five storm water outfalls are monitored according to the NPDES permit and the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. Information on the storm water outfalls is provided on the EPA Form 2F. III. Historical Data Review Outfall 001 Historical daily data from the Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) were reviewed for the past four and half years (January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2013). Annual DMR data for the Organic Chemicals, Plastics, and Synthetic Fibers (OCPSF) priority pollutants for the past 5 years (2009 through 2013) were reviewed. The review indicated that no OCPSF chemicals were detected and the daily discharge limits were well within permit limits. 7401 STATESVILLE BLVD I SALISBURY, NC 29147 1 TEL 704-636-6000 www.performancefibers.com Performance j*** FJI-)er .; Storm Water (Outfallls A, B, C, D, and 5) Over the course of the period of 2009 -2013, Performance Fibers has collected storm water samples both annually for analysis of conventional parameters and total toxic organics (TTO) and semi-annually for conventional parameters. For the TTO analysis, the only test result that was above detection limits was methylene chloride (75-09-2) in Outfall 5 in 2010. The result was 3.6 ug/I. Every other annual sample analyzed or Methylene Chloride was under the detection limit. We do not believe this result indicates the presence of this substance in the outfall 5. For the conventional parameters, a 2009 stormwater sample at outfall C was 576 mg/L, which exceeded our benchmark of 100 mg/L. The next sample in 2010 was back below benchmark at 39 mg/L. At outfall A, we had two consecutive samples for phosphorus that exceeded the benchmark of 2.0 mg/L (2.4 (2nd half of 2012) and 3.1 (1" half of 2013)). We instituted Tier H response for this exceedance and implemented monthly sampling as required by our permit until we obtained 3 consecutive samples results below benchmarks (0.55, 0.55 and'< 0.05 mg/L). At outfall B, we had one sample for phosphorus that exceeded the benchmark of 2.0 mg(L (2.9 (1' half of 2013)). At outfall C, we had one sample for phosphorus that exceeded the benchmark of 2.0 mg/L (2.5 (1" half of 2013)). We also had three consecutive samples for pH that was out of benchmark range (6-9 units) (131 and 2nd halves of 2012 and 1st half of 2013). We instituted Tier H response for this exceedance and implemented monthly sampling as required by our permit until we obtained 3 consecutive samples results within benchmarks (6.1, 6.1 & 6.4 units). At outfall D, we had two consecutive samples for phosphorus that exceeded the benchmark of 2.0 mg/L (2.6 (2"d half of 2012) and 2.5 (1"' half of 2013)). We instituted a Tier II response for this exceedance and implemented monthly sampling as required by our permit until we obtained 3 consecutive samples results below benchmarks (0.5775, 0.78 and < 0.05 mg/L). At outfall 5, we had one sample for phosphorus that exceeded the benchmark of 2.0 mg/L (2.1 (1" half of 2013)). Flow The average effluent (Outfall 001) flow has decreased from the 2008 permit renewal period. The decrease has been caused by a reduction in production levels. The average 7401 STATESVILLE BLVD I SALISBURY, NC 28147 ' TEL 704.636-6000 www.performancefibcra.com Performance daily effluent flow for the past 4.5 years is 0.392 MGD (million gallons per day) compared to a permit limit of 2.305 MGD. Chronic Toxicity The site is required to test the effluent (Outfall 001) for chronic toxicity 4 times per year using ceriodaphnia dubia as the test organism. The permit requires no observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality at an effluent concentration of 34 percent. There was one failure during the past 5 year cycle, in August 2009, followed by 17 consecutive passing tests. IV. pH Adjustment The effluent (Outfall 001) pH is adjusted during periods of high algae bloom in the polishing ponds using sulfuric acid. V. Copper Sulfate Addition Copper sulfate is added to polishing ponds # 3 and #4 to control algae growth during the warm summer months. This is shown on Figure 3, VI. Yadidn/Pee Dee River Basin Association The Salisbury site has been a member in good standing of the Yadkin Pee Dee River Basin Association for the past 15+ years. The Salisbury site has agreed to membership for the next 5 year NPDES cycle for the river basin. The DWQ memo verifying the site's membership and waving the in -stream sampling requirements is attached in Attachment B. VIL Sludge Management Plan Performance Fibers does not have a Sludge Management Plan. Waste biological sludge is aerobically digested and dewatered. Dewatered solids are disposed of off site by Waste Management in the local Rowan County Landfill. VIII. Stormwater Outfall Sampling The state has always allowed the site to collect Stormwater samples using grab sampling techniques instead of composite samplers. The outfalls are located remote from the 401 STATESVILLE BLVI) I SALISBURY, NC 29147 j TEL 704-636-6000 www.performanceiibers.com Performance ;o' 1 11-)�',�r;y manufacturing area where electrical power is not available. The Salisbury plant would like to continue sampling the stormwater outfalls using grab samples. IX. Additional Data The Salisbury site will collect additional wastewater samples for Priority Pollutant Analysis (PPA), to include with this application. When these additional samples have been analyzed, we will submit a revision to EPA FORM 2C (Effluent Data) in Attachment A. X.

The section summarizes potential pollutant sources by plant activity (e.g., truck loading and unloading) and presents alternatives for reducing exposure to storm water for each activity. In particular, this section discusses the use of covers for material storage and handling areas as a measure of reducing exposure. Specific changes are identified in Section 7.3 'Best Management Practices. Plant engineering will review the changes identified in Section 7.0 and accomplish them in a technically and economically feasible manner. No areas were identified where diversion of storm water would be applicable. 7.1.1 Summary of Potential Pollutant Sources Potential pollutant sources were identified for each of the following activities: Loading and Unloading Operations Outdoor Storage and Process Areas Dust or Particulate Generating Processes On -site Waste Disposal Practices Vehicle Fueling and Maintenance Areas The potential pollutants associated with each of these activities are summarized in Table 7-1. A brief discussion of each of these activities follows. Thirty-six truck loading and unloading areas can be identified at the plant. Raw materials such as ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid are the most significant items that arrive at the facility by rai I. Most of the production areas of the facility are located inside. Materials such as chip, staple, and TA are stored in outdoor silos. Various pieces of production equipment are located outside, primarily along the east side of the main production building. This equipment includes boilers, reboilers, pumps and piping. Bulk storage tanks are not included in the summary presented in Table 7-1. Pipes are sand blasted and coated in an area south of the EO facility. Dust and particulate generating processes are generally associated with solid material handling operations such as handling of chip, staple, and TA. The pipe coating area south of the > O facility is also a particulate generating process. Wastes are collected in dumpsters around the plant site for disposal. Ultimately, the wastes are disposed of off -site. Two vehicle -fueling areas are located on -site in addition to the propane fueling areas for vehicles such as forklifts.

Specific BMPs that have been implemented to minimize significant exposure of materials to storm water are discussed in Section 7.3 "Best Management Practices". include: 7.1.2.1 Truck and Rail Loading and Unloading Alternatives for reducing exposure of loading and unloading activities to storm water * Rolled -curb containment * Grated trench containment * Covering loading and unloading areas * Drip pans at rail tank car loading and unloading facilities * Cleaning up spills and leaks as required * Development and implementation of a SPCC plan * Locating quick -connect fittings within contained areas The plant's SPCC Plan was updated in 2004 and 2009 to meet more stringent oil spill containment regulations. This effort included adding secondary containment around all oil storage tanks. It also provided spill containment in the form of curbing or portable containments to catch hose drips at the oil truck unloading points. Truck connection points were relocated to place the quick -connect fittings inside the containment area whenever possible. Furthermore, these oil truck unloading operations are now attended include: and monitored continuously with portable barricades to prevent accidental drive off while the hose is connected. Procedures, training, and use of designated "trained oil handlers' is being done to minimize the chance of oil spill. See details in the plant's SPCC Plan. Contamination from the warehouse on the west side of the main production building would only result from spilled packaged solid product. Rolled -curbs have been installed at several truck loading and unloading areas, especially those near bulk storage tanks. Many loading docks are covered. Installation of rolled curbing is more practical and economically feasible than construction of covers for many of the liquid loading and unloading area limitations of location and frequency of use are considered. Good housekeeping will protect storm water from solid materials spilled during loading and unloading. Raw materials such as ethylene glycol (liquid) and terephthalic acid (bulk powder) are the most significant items that arrive at the facility by rail. Contamination in those areas can be contained by the plant SIS system and diverted to the Waste Treatment Plant in the event of a spill. 7.1.2.2 Outdoor Storage and Process Areas Alternatives for reducing exposure of outdoor storage and process areas to storm water * Storing materials inside buildings or in covered tanks where possible * Labeling storage tanks and drums * Storing materials in designated areas * Periodic inspection and inventory of stored materials * Written standard operating procedures for materials storage and handling * Secondary containment around liquid storage tanks * Curbed containment around pumps, process equipment, and materials storage areas * Covering drum storage areas * Cleaning up spills and leaks as required * Inspection of production areas * Establishment of an Emergency Response Team and maintenance of cleanup materials on -site * Development and implementation of a SPCC plan * Emphasis on housekeeping in employee training " Addition of rolled curb at doorways leading to storage areas within the plant Several drum storage areas are covered but not curbed. Covering some drum storage areas is not feasible due to limitations such as overhead piping. Most drum storage areas are covered. Those requiring additional protection are identified in Section 7.2. All outside drum storage has secondary containment except the empty drum storage area where triple -rinsed clean drums are stored. Most drum storage areas are also covered. 7.1.2.3 Dust or Particulate Generating Processes Alternatives for reducing exposure of dust and particulate generating processes to storm water include: * Storing materials inside buildings or in covered silos where possible * Cleaning up spills as required * Emphasis on housekeeping in employee training * Covering particulate generating processes Emphasis has been placed on housekeeping to prevent and/or reduce contamination of storm water by spilled chip, staple, TA and other particulates. 7.1.2.4 Waste Disposal Practices Alternatives for reducing exposure of disposal activities to storm water include the following: * Collecting waste in designated areas * Cleaning up spills around dumpsters as required * Covering waste containers * Secondary containment where feasible All materials are disposed of off site. Housekeeping around waste collection containers is being maintained to acceptable levels. Where needed, dumpsters with covers have replaced those dumpsters, which are not under cover. Waste oil is disposed of in full compliance with new SPCC plan oil handling regulations. All oil storage containers have secondary containment and stringent monitoring of waste oil handling operations by trained oil handlers. 7.1.2.5 Vehicle Fueling and Maintenance Areas Alternatives for reducing exposure of vehicle fueling and maintenance areas to storm water include: * Secondary containment around liquid storage tanks * Curbed containment * Rolled -curb containment in doorways * Covering vehicle fueling and maintenance facilities * Cleaning up spills and leaks as required * Development and implementation of a SPCC plan * Emphasis on housekeeping in employee training Vehicle fueling areas are contained by curbing, and have been addressed as noted above to comply with new oil regulations in the plant's SPCC Plan. As noted above, those new measures include secondary containment around all oil bulk storage tanks, curbed containments and monitoring of fueling operations. The plant has a recently -updated SPCC plan in place for reducing the potential of storm water contamination from spills. 7.1.26 Secondary Containment Secondary containment dikes with periodic inspection by trained operators have been installed around all oil tanks and all outdoor chemical bulk storage tanks. All secondary containment connected directly to storm water conveyance systems meets the following criteria as specified in the permit: * Drainage must be controlled by manually operated valves which are secured by a locking mechanism. * Accumulated storm water must be at least visually observed for color, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow before release. * Accumulated storm water can be released if found to be uncontaminated. * Records documenting the name of the individual making the observation, a description of the accumulated storm water, and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a period of 5 years. ,. ` Table 7-6 BMP Implementation Schedule Continued Spill Prevention and Maintain the SPCC Plan On -going Response Procedures Provide Employee Training in Spill At Initial Hire and Periodically Prevention and Response (Particularly for Thereafter Those Involved in Manufacturing, Maintenance and Utility Activities Inspections Improve Current Inspection Procedures On -going Related to Storm water Pollution Prevention Conduct Semi -Annual Comprehensive Site Semi -Annually Compliance Evaluations (Including Outfall Visual Inspection) Based on Inspection Results, Modify SWPPP As Needed as Needed General Visual Site Inspection Routine Employee Training Incorporate Storm water Pollution Prevention On -going Awareness and Tools into Current Employee Training Program Record Keeping Maintain Records on Spill Events and On -going Maintenance and Inspection Activities Sediment and Erosion Maintain Sediment and Erosion Control On -going Control Measures Runoff Management Implement Runoff Management Techniques On -going Where Appropriate Activity Specific BMPs See "Best Management Practices" On -going Site Specific BMPs See "Best Management Practices" On -going Attachment A NPDES Permit Renewal Application Manufacturing Operation Flow Diagram (Figure 2) Terephthalic Acid (TA) Ethylene Glycol Polymer , Production --� t-------- Wastewater ------------------------------------------------------------------------- to ----------------------------------------------- Treatment Finish Lubricants Polyester Manufacturing Operation Polymer Production Chip Production Product to Customers (potential) Raw Material / Product ` - - - - - Wastewater Filament Production Product to Customers Figure 2 Performance Fibers Operations, Inc.

Facility Location I PerfOrrrlance 'too" September 26, 2013 Mr. Charles Weaver NC DENR / DWQ / Point Source Branch 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 Subject; Performance Fibers Operations, Inc. Salisbury Permit Renewal NPDES Permit # NCO004944 Rowan County RECEIVEMCDEUDWR FEB 2 3 2016 Water Quality Permitting Section Performance Fibers Operations, Inc. owns and operates a polyester manufacturing facility in Salisbury, North Carolina. Process wastewater and stormwater is discharged to North Second Creek in accordance with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit Number NC0004944, which expires March 31, 2014. Three copies of this letter and the attached permit application are being submitted for renewal of the NPDES Permit. This letter provides an overview of the Performance Fibers Operations, Inc. Salisbury facility, and Attachment A includes the permit renewal application. I. Facility Location The Performance Fibers Operations, Inc. facility is located on the south side of U.S. Highway 70 approximately 4 miles west of Salisbury, North Carolina, near the intersection of Highway 70 and State Highway 801. The facility's location is presented on Figure 1 in Attachment A, which also shows nearby transportation routes and surface waters. II. Plant Overview Performance Fibers Operations, Inc. manufactures polyester in the form of chip and fiber at its Salisbury, North Carolina, facility. Primary raw materials in these manufacturing processes include terephthalic acid, ethylene glycol, and fiber finish lubricants (see Figure 2 in Attachment A). Process wastewater, groundwater, sanitary wastewater, cooling tower blowdown, and water treatment plant blowdown are treated onsite before being discharged to North Second Creek. 7401 STATESVII.LS BLVD i SALISBURY, NC 28147 i TEL 704-636-6000 www.parformancefibers.com Performance r A "11 Wastewater treatment consists of coarse solids removal (bar screen), equalization, biological treatment (activated sludge), and clarification, followed by a series of polishing ponds, as presented on Figure 3 in Attachment A. Waste biological sludge is aerobically digested and dewatered. Dewatered solids are disposed of off -site by Waste Management, Inc. at the local Rowan County Landfill. The ground water remediation program at the site has been shutdown during a trial period with EPA approval. Future operation of the pump -and -treat remediation is unlikely but the final decision as to whether or not to operate the pump -and -treat system has not been made. When this remediation system is operating the water is treated in the waste treatment plant. Recovered groundwater from the interior system contains primarily ethylene glycol and is anaerobically pretreated before being discharged to the equalization tank for treatment in the WWTP. Recovered groundwater from the perimeter system contains 1,4-dioxane as the major pollutant and is discharged through the polishing ponds to Outfall 001 to North Second Creek. The plant discharges storm water associated with industrial activity through five stormwater outfalls (A,B,C,D and 5) as presented on Figure 1 in Attachment A. Stormwater Outfall #5 collects stormwater from the main manufacturing areas of the site, where spills are more likely or chemicals are stored. Outfall #5 collects stormwater from a system of diverter weirs that route dry weather spills and the first flush of storm water runoff to either the W WTP headworks or Number 2 Polishing Pond. As the storm water volume increases in the diverter system, flow continues to be discharged to either the WWTP or Number 2 polishing pond with the excess water that overflows the diverter weirs being discharged directly to North Second Creek. All five storm water outfalls are monitored according to the NPDES permit and the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. Information on the storm water outfalls is provided on the EPA Form 2F. III. Historical Data Review Outfall 001 Historical daily data from the Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) were reviewed for the past four and half years (January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2013). Annual DMR data for the Organic Chemicals, Plastics, and Synthetic Fibers (OCPSF) priority pollutants for the past 5 years (2009 through 2013) were reviewed. The review indicated that no OCPSF chemicals were detected and the daily discharge limits were well within permit limits. 7401 STATESVILLE BLVD j SALISBURY, NC 28147 1 TEL 704-636-6000 www. performancefibers. eom Perfbrmance joe° Storm Water (Outfalls A, B, C, D, and 5) Over the course of the period of 2009 -2013, Performance Fibers has collected storm water samples both annually for analysis of conventional parameters and total toxic organics (TTO)'and semi-annually for conventional parameters. For the TTO analysis, the only test result that was above detection limits was methylene chloride (75-09-2) in Outfall 5 in 2010. The result was 3.6 ug/l. Every other annual sample analyzed or Methylene Chloride was under the detection limit. We do not believe this result indicates the presence of this substance in the outfall 5. For the conventional parameters, a 2009 stormwater sample at outfall C was 576 mg/L, which exceeded our benchmark of 100 mg/L. The next sample in 2010 was back below benchmark at 39 mg/L. At outfall A, we had two consecutive samples for phosphorus that exceeded the benchmark of 2.0 mg/L (2.4 (2nd half of 2012) and 3.1 (Vt half of 2013)). We instituted Tier H response for this exceedance and implemented monthly sampling as required by our permit until we obtained 3 consecutive samples results below benchmarks (0.55, 0.55 and'< 0.05 mg/L). At outfall B, we had one sample for phosphorus that exceeded the benchmark of 2.0 mg/L (2.9 (lat half of 2013)). At outfall C, we had one sample for phosphorus that exceeded the benchmark of 2.0 mg/L (2.5 (1at half of 2013)). We also had three consecutive samples for pH that was out of benchmark range (6-9 units) (lat and 2nd halves of 2012 and 1st half of 2013). We instituted Tier IL response for this exceedance and implemented monthly sampling as required by our permit until we obtained 3 consecutive samples results within benchmarks (6.1, 6.1 & 6.4 units). At outfall D, we had two consecutive samples for phosphorus that exceeded the benchmark of 2.0 mg/L (2.6 (2"d half of 2012) and 2.5 (lit half of 2013)). We instituted a Tier 11 response for this exceedance and implemented monthly sampling as required by our permit until we obtained 3 consecutive samples results below benchmarks (0.5775, 0.78 and < 0.05 mg(L). At outfall 5, we had one sample for phosphorus that exceeded the benchmark of 2.0 mg/L (2.1 (1" half of 2013)). Flow The average effluent (Outfall 001) flow has decreased from the 2008 permit renewal period. The decrease has been caused by a reduction in production levels. The average 7401 STATESV'ILLE BLVU I SALISBURY, NC 28147 J TEL 704-636-6005 www.performanocribers.com Perforrrlel7Ce F ° F il:,{:; -, daily effluent flow for the past 4.5 years is 0.392 MGD (million gallons per day) compared to a permit limit of 2.305 MGD. Chronic Toxicity The site is required to test the effluent (Outfall 001) for chronic toxicity 4 times per year using ceriodaphnia dubia as the test organism. The permit requires no observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality at an effluent concentration of 34 percent. There was one failure during the past 5 year cycle, in August 2009, followed by 17 consecutive passing tests. IV. pH Adjustment The effluent (Outfall 001) pH is adjusted during periods of high algae bloom in the polishing ponds using sulfuric acid. V. Copper Sulfate Addition Copper sulfate is added to polishing ponds # 3 and #4 to control algae growth during the warm summer months. This is shown on Figure 3. VI. Yadidn/Pee Dee River Basin Association The Salisbury site has been a member in good standing of the Yadkin Pee Dee River Basin Association for the past 15+ years. The Salisbury site has agreed to membership for the next 5 year NPDES cycle for the river basin. The DWQ memo verifying the site's membership and waving the in -stream sampling requirements is attached in Attachment B. VH. Sludge Management Plan Performance Fibers does not have a Sludge Management Plan. Waste biological sludge is aerobically digested and dewatered. Dewatered solids are disposed of off site by Waste Management in the local Rowan County Landfill. VIH. Stormwater Outfall Sampling The state has always allowed the site to collect Stormwater samples using grab sampling techniques instead of composite samplers. The outfalls are located remote from the 401 STATESVILLE BLVD I SALISBURY, MG 29147 1 T13L 704-636-6000 www.performanceribers.com Perfbanance manufacturing area where electrical power is not available. The Salisbury plant would like to continue sampling the stormwater outfalls using grab samples. IX. Additional Data The Salisbury site will collect additional wastewater samples for Priority Pollutant Analysis (PPA), to include with this application. When these additional samples have been analyzed, we will submit a revision to EPA FORM 2C (Effluent Data) in Attachment A.

The section summarizes potential pollutant sources by plant activity (e.g., truck loading and unloading) and presents alternatives for reducing exposure to storm water for each activity. In particular, this section discusses the use of covers for material storage and handling areas as a measure of reducing exposure. Specific changes are identified in Section 7.3 'Best Management Practices." Plant engineering will review the changes identified in Section 7.0 and accomplish them in a technically and economically feasible manner. No areas were identified where diversion of storm water would be applicable. 7.1.1 Summary of Potential Pollutant Sources Potential pollutant sources were identified for each of the following activities: Loading and Unloading Operations Outdoor Storage and Process Areas Dust or Particulate Generating Processes On -site Waste Disposal Practices Vehicle Fueling and Maintenance Areas The potential pollutants associated with each of these activities are summarized in Table 7-1. A brief discussion of each of these activities follows. Thirty-six truck loading and unloading areas can be identified at the plant. Raw materials such as ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid are the most significant items that arrive at the facility by rail. Most of the production areas of the facility are located inside. Materials such as chip, staple, and TA are stored in outdoor silos. Various pieces of production equipment are located outside, primarily along the east side of the main production building. This equipment includes boilers, reboilers, pumps and piping. Bulk storage tanks are not included in the summary presented in Table 7-1. Pipes are sand blasted and coated in an area south of the EO facility. Dust and particulate generating processes are generally associated with solid material handling operations such as handling of chip, staple, and TA. The pipe coating area south of the EO facility is also a particulate generating process. Wastes are collected in dumpsters around the plant site for disposal. Ultimately, the wastes are disposed of off -site. Two vehicle -fueling areas are located on -site in addition to the propane fueling areas for vehicles such as forklifts. One area for vehicle maintenance is located in and adjacent to the southwest corner of Building S.

Specific BMPs that have been implemented to minimize significant exposure of materials to storm water are discussed in Section 7.3 "Best Management Practices". include: 7.1.21 Truck and Rail Loading and Unloading Alternatives for reducing exposure of loading and unloading activities to storm water * Rolled -curb containment * Grated trench containment * Covering loading and unloading areas * Drip pans at rail tank car loading and unloading facilities * Cleaning up spills and leaks as required * Development and implementation of a SPCC plan * Locating quick -connect fittings within contained areas The plant's SPCC Plan was updated in 2004 and 2009 to meet more stringent oil spill containment regulations. This effort included adding secondary containment around all oil storage tanks. It also provided spill containment in the form of curbing or portable containments to catch hose drips at the oil truck unloading points. Truck connection points were relocated to place the quick -connect fittings inside the containment area whenever possible. Furthermore, these oil truck unloading operations are now attended . V include: and monitored continuously with portable barricades to prevent accidental drive off while the hose is connected. Procedures, training, and use of designated "trained oil handlers' is being done to minimize the chance of oil spill. See details in the plant's SPCC Plan. Contamination from the warehouse on the west side of the main production building would only result from spilled packaged solid product. Rolled -curbs have been installed at several truck Ioading and unloading areas, especially those near bulk storage tanks. Many loading docks are covered. Installation of rolled curbing is more practical and economically feasible than construction of covers for many of the liquid loading and unloading area limitations of location and frequency of use are considered. Good housekeeping will protect storm water from solid materials spilled during loading and unloading. Raw materials such as ethylene glycol (liquid) and terephthalic acid (bulk powder) are the most significant items that arrive at the facility by rail. Contamination in those areas can be contained by the plant SIS system and diverted to the Waste Treatment Plant in the event of a spill. 7.1.2.2 Outdoor Storage and Process Areas Alternatives for reducing exposure of outdoor storage and process areas to storm water * Storing materials inside buildings or in covered tanks where possible * Labeling storage tanks and drums * Storing materials in designated areas * Periodic inspection and inventory of stored materials * Written standard operating procedures for materials storage and handling * Secondary containment around liquid storage tanks * Curbed containment around pumps, process equipment, and materials storage areas * Covering drum storage areas * Cleaning up spills and leaks as required * Inspection of production areas * Establishment of an Emergency Response Team and maintenance of cleanup materials on -site * Development and implementation of a SPCC plan * Emphasis on housekeeping in employee training * Addition of rolled curb at doorways leading to storage areas within the plant Several drum storage areas are covered but not curbed. Covering some drum storage areas is not feasible due to limitations such as overhead piping. Most drum storage areas are covered. 'Those requiring additional protection are identified in Section 7.2. All outside drum storage has secondary containment except the empty drum storage area where triple -rinsed clean drums are stored. Most drum storage areas are also covered. 7.1.2.3 Dust or Particulate Generating Processes Alternatives for reducing exposure of dust and particulate generating processes to storm water include: * Storing materials inside buildings or in covered silos where possible * Cleaning up spills as required * Emphasis on housekeeping in employee training * Covering particulate generating processes Emphasis has been placed on housekeeping to prevent and/or reduce contamination of storm water by spilled chip, staple, TA and other particulates. 7.1.2.4 Waste Disposal Practices Alternatives for reducing exposure of disposal activities to storm water include the following: * Collecting waste in designated areas * Cleaning up spills around dumpsters as required * Covering waste containers * Secondary containment where feasible All materials are disposed of off -site. Housekeeping around waste collection containers is being maintained to acceptable levels. Where needed, dumpsters with covers have replaced those dumpsters, which are not under cover. Waste oil is disposed of in frill compliance with new SPCC plan oil handling regulations. All oil storage containers have secondary containment and stringent monitoring of waste oil handling operations by trained oil handlers. 7.1.2.5 Vehicle Fueling and Maintenance Areas AIternatives for reducing exposure of vehicle fueling and maintenance areas to storm water include: * Secondary containment around liquid storage tanks * Curbed containment * Rolled -curb containment in doorways * Covering vehicle fueling and maintenance facilities * Cleaning up spills and leaks as required * Development and implementation of a SPCC plan * Emphasis on housekeeping in employee training Vehicle fueling areas are contained by curbing, and have been addressed as noted above to comply with new oil regulations in the plant's SPCC Plan. As noted above, those new measures include secondary containment around all oil bulk storage tanks, curbed containments and monitoring of fueling operations. The plant has a recently -updated SPCC plan in place for reducing the potential of storm water contamination from spills. 7.1.26 Secondary Containment Secondary containment dikes with periodic inspection by trained operators have been installed around all oil tanks and all outdoor chemical bulk storage tanks. All secondary containment connected directly to storm water conveyance systems meets the following criteria as specified in the permit: * Drainage must be controlled by manually operated valves which are secured by a locking mechanism. * Accumulated storm water must be at least visually observed for color, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow before release. * Accumulated storm water can be released if found to be uncontaminated. * Records documenting the name of the individual making the observation, a description of the accumulated storm water, and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a period of 5 years. r Table 7'-6 BMW Implementation Schedule Continued Spill Prevention and Maintain the SPCC Plan On -going Response Procedures Provide Employee Training in Spill At Initial Hire and Periodically Prevention and Response (Particularly for Thereafter Those Involved in Manufacturing, Maintenance and Utility Activities Inspections Improve Current Inspection Procedures On -going Related to Storm water Pollution Prevention Conduct Semi -Annual Comprehensive Site Semi -Annually Compliance Evaluations (Including Outfall Visual Inspection) Based on Inspection Results, Modify S WPPP As Needed as Needed General Visual Site Inspection Routine Employee Training Incorporate Storm water Pollution Prevention On -going Awareness and Tools into Current Employee Trainin Program Record Keeping Maintain Records on Spill Events and On -going Maintenance and Ins ection Activities Sediment and Erosion Maintain Sediment and Erosion Control On -going Control Measures Runoff Management Implement Runoff Management Techniques On -going Where Appropriate Activity Specific BMPs See 'Best Management Practices" On -going Site Specific BMPs See 'Best Management Practices" On -going Attachment A NPDES Permit Renewal Application Manufacturing Operation Flow Diagram (Figure 2) Terephthalic Acid (TA) Ethylene Glycol , , Polymer ;pop Production -- Wastewater --------------------------a------------------------------------ to ---------------------------------- Treatment Finish Lubricants Polyester Manufacturing Operation Polymer Production I Chip Production Product to Customers (potential) Raw Material 1 Product - - - - - • Wastewater Filament Production Product to Customers Figure 2 Performance Fibers Operations, Inc.

REGAN .Srr reran TRACY DAVIS 0worm, Subject: NPDES Permit Application Performance Fibers Operations, Inc. Permit Number NC0004944 Individual NPDES Stormwater Permit Rowan County Dear Mr. Stewart: The Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources' Stormwater Permitting Program received a copy of your renewal application for coverage under NPDES Wastewater Permit Number NCO004944. The Division will be writing separate permits for stormwater and wastewater. So, this facility will also need to apply for a separate NPDES Stormwater Permit. Please submit the Stormwater Permit Application Fee of $860.00 so that we can begin the stormwater permit process for this facility. We apologize for the lengthy delay in responding to your original submittal; and are now making every effort to review your permit as expeditiously as possible. Our staff anticipates making significant progress on individual permits over the next six months to reduce our backlog. Please continue to comply with all conditions and monitoring requirements in your expired NPDES stormwater permit. As long as you have submitted a complete renewal request package and maintain compliance with those permit conditions, stormwater discharges from this facility are authorized by that permit until the Division issues a renewal permit or notifies you of an alternative action. Please notify us if any significant changes have taken place at this facility since you submitted the renewal package. If you have any questions about this matter, please contact me at (919) 807-6369 or robert.patterson@ncdenr.gov. Sincerely, Robert D.
