Subject: Request for Additional Information
Harrisburg Take -Off Station Project
Cabarrus County
The Division of Water Quality Central Office received a Stormwater Management Permit Application for
the subject project on February 11, 2011. A preliminary review of that information has determined that the
application is not complete. The following information is needed to continue the stormwater review:
1. Please provide documentation that the proposed stream impact information has been submitted
to the USACE to confirm whether or not a 404/401 permit is required.
2. Any wetlands and surface waters for the entire project area must be delineated and shown on
the plans. Otherwise, a note must be provided on the plans stating none exist on the property.
The plans as submitted only note there are no wetlands in the area of the proposed impervious
area.
3. Please explain why the stream crossing is being performed with an open cut instead of boring
under the stream to reduce impacts.
4. Will there be any grading in and around the area of the station? If so, all proposed grading must
be shown.
5. Are there existing road side ditches along Old Charlotte Rd.? If so, the ditches contours must
be shown.
6. Please show the swale grading for the inlet and outlet of the proposed culvert. All proposed
grass swales must have side slopes of 3:1 or flatter. Will energy dissipation be needed at the
culvert outlet to protect it from erosion?
7. The plans need to specify permanent vegetation for the disturbed areas, not just around the
stream crossing.

Re: County Phase II Stormwater Permit Applications
Dear Jonathan:
This letter is to inform your agency how the Phase II Stormwater regulations apply to a
County and to inform you of the status of the County Phase 1I Stormwater Permit Applications.
The Division of Water Quality received a number of comments during public comment
period for the Phase 11 Draft Permit posted in December, 2004, Based on those comments, and
several subsequent meetings, it is apparent that a number of counties are not clear as to how to apply
the Phase II regulations to their activities and operations. With that in mind, DWQ is re-evaluating
the applications submitted to determine if the applications submitted address specific issues that came
out during the comment period and subsequent meetings that Counties may have overlooked in their
original application.
1. Several counties may have excluded County owned and operated municipal separate storm
sewer systems (MS4) within the incorporated areas within Urbanized Area (UA). Several
counties may only have included the MS4 in the unincorporated areas of the county within
the UA.
2. Several counties may only have included the MS4 that have direct discharges. Direct and
indirect stormwater discharges from County owned and operated MS4 maybe subject to
Phase II. Sheet flow and or stormwater that either dissipates or infiltrates and/or evaporates
without being directly or indirectly discharged to receiving waters are not subject to Phase II.
3. Several counties may have excluded the MS4 where the County relies in whole or inparton
another entity for implementation of their SWMP.
4. Several counties may have excluded non-standard MS4s. Non-standard MS4's include, but
are not limited to, County airports, public schools and universities, prisons, hospitals, and
County owned or operated industrial activities. In some instances the County may own or
operate non-standard MS4s or desire co -permit with the non-standard MS4 that are not
owned or operated by the County.

5. Several counties may have excluded_ County owned and operated MS4 within the UA that
discharge to a permitted MS4 (i.e., NCDOT and a municipality owned or operated MS4).
Multiple buildings with an MS4 that connects to another permitted Phase I or Phase II MS4 may
be subject to Phase 11, depending on the activities, potential exposure, the degree of regulation at
the site, the system of conveyance and/or the stormwater runoff impact.
Stormwater runoff can have a number of impacts. As development and imperviousness increase
in an area, the natural capacity of the soil and vegetation to infiltrate and take up rainfall decreases, and
more rainfall becomes stormwater runoff. This can produce negative impacts by causing erosion of land
areas and stream banks and causing or increasing flooding. As North Carolina grows, development
increases. When more houses, roads and businesses are constructed, water has nowhere to go and can
cause serious drainage, pollutant, and sanitation problems. In addition to the increased volume,
stormwater carries pollutants to surface waters from activities that may include parking lots where county
vehicles are parked for extended periods. County vehicles may even be fueled or serviced in county
owned parking lots. Recycling facilities, if improperly maintained may carry pollutants to surface waters.
County facilities may host a variety of activities or events throughout the year, ranging from dog shows
and concerts to providing relief to hurricane victims. The general public often use county owned property
to exercise their pets or enjoy a get together with family and friends. All of these activities have a
potential impact on stormwater runoff. Unfortunately not everyone is currently aware that the decisions
they make can have an impact on stormwater pollution. Some people assume that stormwater runoff that
enters a storm sewer system is being routed to some type of treatment process before entering our surface
waters. In most cases there is no pre-treatment of stormwater. Storm sewer systems are often designed
simply to capture the stormwater and convey it to the nearest surface water.
Finally, under Section 8 of Session Law 2004-163, even if the site is not within the UA, a petition
may be submitted to request that an owner or operator of a municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4)
or a person who discharges stormwater be required to obtain a Phase II National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permit for Stormwater management. The County should implement water
quality protection programs and/or measures adequate to address stormwater impacts on sensitive
receiving waters and to insure compliance with a TMDL implementation.
If you have any questions, concerns, or comments about the attached draft document, "Coun
Implementation of the Phase II Stormwater Program," don't hesitate to contact me at {919} 733-5083,
ext. 545. I hope to discuss the draft document at the Stormwater Implementation Group Meeting, on
August 17, 2005.

Mike Randall

Cabarrus County
Dear Mr. Ceccarelli:
On January 16, 1996 the Division of Environmental Management received your letter
requesting our agency's concurrence in your interpretation of the applicability of NPDES
Stormwater Permit requirements for stonnwater discharges from the subject facility.
You advise that Kannapolis Energy Partners, LLC, is taking over the power plant at
Fieldcrest Cannon located on Lake Circle Drive in Kannapolis. This facility will be primarily
engaged in steam production for process steam. Secondarily, the facility may generate electricity
from steam. The regulations require that steam electric facilities must obtain Stormwater NPDES
permits. The determination as to whether this facility must apply should be made based upon the
primary activity. The primary activity is process stearn production. This being the case, the rules
do not require this.facility to apply for Stormwater NPDES Permits.
IF you have questions concerning this matter, please contact me (9191733-5083 ext. 548).

Dear, Mr. Mills:.

Our client, Kannapolis Energy Partners, LLC (KEP), is in the process of purchasing and operating the
boiler and turbine operations -from Fieldcrest Cannon's Plant located on Lake Circle Drive in Kannapolis,
North Carolina. This letter is submitted on behalf of our client to document that KEP will not be subject
to stormwater permitting requirements in Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 122, Section
.26 (40 CFR 122.26) as referenced in the North Carolina Administrative Code (15A NCAC 2H.0126).
KEP intends to complete the purchase of the power plant by January ,15, 1996. The power plant's
primary industrial activity will be the generation of steam for use as process steam in Fieldcrest Cannon's
plant while a lesser amount of steam will be used by the turbines to generate electricity. KEP estimates
that steam produced for use as process steam will generate 75 percent of total revenues while electricity
production will account for the remaining 25 percent.
Per our conversation on January 3, 1996, a steam electric power generating facility is not engaging in
"industrial activity" as defined in 40 CFR 122.26 (b)(14) if its primary activity is steam generation.
Since our client's maJor activity will be steam production, we believe that KEP will not be subject to
stormwater regulations and therefore will not have to submit a permit application prior to purchasing the
power plant operations.. However, KEP is aware that the power plant will be subject to the stormwater
regulations if (in the future) their primary activity changes to electric generation.
