PART III
A. Description of structures and/or equipment:
The following provides a description of the containment structures and/or
equipment utilized to prevent leaks or spills from the identified potential sources
from contacting storm water.
Storage tanks
The seven ASTs at the tank farm (two are empty) are contained in
completely enclosed dikes to exclude precipitation accumulation. The
dikes are designed to contain the entire contents of the tank. The AST at
the facility containing hydrotreated naphthenic process oil is contained in
an open dike designed to contain the entire contents of the tank plus a 10
percent allowance for freeboard. There is another AST at the facility
which is no longer used. It is contained in an open dike designed to
contain the entire contents of the tank plus a 10 percent allowance for
freeboard. All tanks are designed and constructed with materials that are
compatible with the material stored and the conditions of storage such as
pressure and temperature. The tanks at this facility are of welded steel
construction.
The transfer pumps for the seven ASTs at the tank farm are contained in
metal enclosures for secondary containment. Any leaks or spills would be
contained by these enclosures. The transfer pump for the hydrotreated
naphthenic process oil is contained in the tank dike. Any leaks or spills
would be contained by the dike. The empty tank has no pump. All pumps
are positive displacement and can be manually shut off should any spill or
leakage begin.
All storage tanks have a manually operated shut-off valve to allow for
maintenance and to shut the system down in case of a leak or spill.
All piping at the facility is aboveground, single -walled, galvanized metal
piping. The piping is properly designed.
2. Dike drainage
Drainage from the diked storage areas is controlled as follows:
Dike drainage from the process oil�and tank farm AST dikes is controlled
by a drain valve that is normally closed and locked or has had the handle
Page 12 of 19

® SWPP Plan
Patch Rubber Company
06-154
October 18, 2006
removed. Prior to draining, the contents will be visually inspected to make
sure no pollutants are in the dike. If a sheen is observed on the contents or
if the contents are known to contain potential pollutants due to a tank
failure, the dike will be drained and the contents disposed as petroleum or
hazardous waste in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local
regulations. Water in the dike that does not exhibit a sheen or contain
potential pollutants can be drained to the ground. All drainage events will
be carried out under responsible supervision and records maintained of the
event. They shall be made a part of the S WPP Plan.
Trash dumpsters
There are 3 trash dumpsters located on the east side of the main building
and south side of the adhesive plant. They contain paper and
miscellaneous manufacturing waste. They are not located under any type
of cover or shelter but are closed to prevent storm water contact and
accumulation. To maintain good housekeeping, the areas around the
dumpsters are inspected and cleaned weekly by maintenance or production
personnel.
4. Loading docks
There are 10 loading docks or pull-up/sliding doors located on the
northeast and east sides of the main building and south side of the
adhesive plant, none of which are covered to help prevent potential
pollutants from contacting storm water. However, most of the loading
docks have seals which help prevent material spills from leaving the
building. Any spills are promptly cleaned up. All dock and door areas are
visually inspected daily for debris that shall be removed. These same
areas are swept at least once per week in order to maintain good
housekeeping.
5. Cooling towers
Three air conditioning cooling towers are located on the northwest end of
the main building. To maintain proper water quality and reduce
equipment maintenance, water treatment chemicals are added. The towers
are inspected and serviced monthly in order to maintain proper water
quality. Also, the treatment chemicals are added as needed by an
automatic monitoring and dispensing syst0n. The cooling towers are not
potential storm water pollutants if the additives are maintained in the
proper ratios. The chemicals are stored in a building near the towers. The
individual tanks are located in tubs for secondary containment. The piping
from the building to the towers is aboveground, single -walled, galvanized
metal piping. Bleed off from the towers flow to an oil/water separator
before discharge to the Roanoke Rapids Sanitary District POTW.

Oil/water separator
® SWPP Plan
Patch Rubber Company
06-154
October 18, 2006
An oil/water separator (maximum volume 296 gallons) is located near the
west end of the adhesive plant. The separator receives influent from two
sources at the facility: the floor drains in the two buildings at the site and
the sinks in the lab in the main building. When full, the concrete tank is
pumped out and the oil is properly disposed of The water flows into the
sewer system for discharge to the Roanoke Rapids Sanitary District
POTW. To avoid overfills, the oil level in the separator is checked weekly
by maintenance personnel. This checking includes manual gauging as
well as a visual check.
Roof stacks
Stacks and vents can be found in numerous places at the site. They are of
two types. Fabric filters (baghouses) are used to collect particulate matter
which is exhausted from the mixers and mills. Several stacks and vents
exhaust VOC vapors from cementing and mixing processes in the facility.
As required by the facility's air permits, all air pollution control equipment
is maintained and operated at all times so that the reduction in air
pollutants required by applicable standards is achieved.
Transformers
There are 2 groups of electrical transformers at the site. They are owned
by North Carolina Power Company, the local utility. They are located on
the northeast and northwest.sides of the main building. The transformer
fluids have been determined to be free of polychlorinated biphenyls
(PCBs). However, the transformers contain di -electric fluids that could be
potential storm water pollutants in the event of a failure of the transformer
casing.
B. Description of procedures to prevent discharges:
The following provides a description of the procedures to be followed at this
facility to prevent leaks or spills from the identified potential sources from
contacting storm water.
Tank truck unloading
There are 2 tank truck unloading areas at the facility. The tankers supply
virgin raw chemicals for the ASTs located at the site. The unloading area
at the tank farm has secondary containment but the one at the process oil
AST does not. Drainage of the diked area at the tank farm ASTs follows
the procedures previously referred to in this part of the plan. The
following procedures are adhered to at both areas:
Page 14 of 19

® ® SWPP Plan
Patch Rubber Company
06-154
October 18, 2006
• Tank truck • unloading procedures should meet the minimum
requirements and regulations established by the Department of
Transportation in 49 CFR 177 Subpart B which are summarized
below.
• No product shall be unloaded unless the hand brake is securely set
and all other reasonable precautions (i.e., wheel chocking) are taken
to prevent motion of the tank truck.
• No smoking or any other sources of spark or flame will be allowed
in the vicinity of the unloading operation.
• Unless the engine of the tank truck is to be used for the operation of
a pump, no product shall be unloaded while the engine is running.
• No product shall be unloaded until all bonding and grounding
requirements have been met.
• A minimum of two people will be present during unloading to
visually observe transfer operations.
• Drip pans, catclnnent basins, or absorbent materials will be used
where small drips and spills may occur.
• Each tank truck will be visually inspected prior to departure to
prevent accidental disconnection of flexible transfer lines.
• Significant spillage will be handled by outside contract assistance as
needed.
C. Description of activities to handle and prevent discharges:
The following provides a description of the activities at this facility to handle and
prevent leaks or spills from the identified potential sources from contacting storm
water.
Spill control and notification procedures
a. Spill control procedures
A supply of absorbent materials (absorbent pads, wipes, and overpack) is
maintained at the site for use with spills. Site personnel will be used to
stop, contain, and clean up small leaks and spills. An outside cleanup
contractor will be called in to clean up large leaks and spills and dispose of
the waste. Should the need dictate, the designated personnel will call local
fire, police, and emergency units for additional support. See Table 2 for
telephone numbers to use in case of an emergency.

non-stormwater discharges. The certification statement will be signed in
accordance with the requirements found in Part 111, Standard Conditions, Section
B, Paragraph 5. The permittee shall re -certify annually that the stormwater
outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges.
2. Stormwater Management Plan. The stormwater management plan shall contain a
narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or
minimize the exposure of significant materials to stormwater, including structural and
nonstructural measures. The stormwater management plan, at a minimum, shall
incorporate the following:
(a) Feasibility Study. A review of the technical-andeconomic feasibility of changing
the methods of operations and/or storage practices to -eliminate or reduce
exposure of materials and processes to stormwater:—Wherever practical, the
permittee shall prevent exposure of all,storage areas, material handling
operations, and manufacturing or fueling operations. In areas where elimination
of exposure is not practical, the stormwater, in anagement plan shall document the
a rr
feasibility of diverting the stormwater runoff away from areas of potential
contamination. /
(b) Secondary Contaii2n ent 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 c,emicalsi, and storage in any amount of hazardous substances, in
order to prev nt,leaks-and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. A table
or summary of all such tanks and stored materials and their associated secondary
containment areas shall be maintained. If the secondary containment devices are
connected directly to stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be
controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices (which shall be
secured closed with a locking mechanism), and any stormwater that accumulates
in the containment area shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam, "
outfall staining, visible sheens and dry weather Flow, prior to release of the
accumulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to
be uncontaminated by the material stored within the containment area. Records
documenting the individual making the observation, the description of the
accumulated stormwater, and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a
period of five years.
(c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management
Practices (BMP) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs
shall be based on the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute
significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected
through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The 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.

Pemtit No. NCS000325
3. Spill Prevention and Response Plan. The Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP)
shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials
inventory of the facility. Facility personnel (or the team) responsible for implementing
the SPRP shall be identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and
dated by each individual acknowledging their responsibilities for the plan. A responsible
person shall be on -site at all times during facility operations that have the potential to
contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or exposure of materials associated with the
facility operations. The SPRP must be site stormwater specific. Therefore, an oil Spill
Prevention Control and Countermeasure plan (SPCC) may be a component of the SPRP,
but may not be sufficient to completely address the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The
common elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may be incorporated by reference into the
SPRP.
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping -Prog am. A�preventative
maintenance and good housekeeping prograshall,be'developed. The program shall list
all stormwater control systems, stormwater discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent
surface waters and wetlands, industrial activity,areas,(including material storage areas,
material handling areas, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and
haul roads), all drainage features and structures, and existing structural BMPs. The
program shall establish schedules of inspect ions, —maintenance, and housekeeping
activities of stormwater control systems,,as well as facility equipment, facility areas, and
facility systems that presefit a potential fo sr tormwater exposure or stormwater pollution.

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 representative stony, evert. The required
monitoring will result in a minimum of ten analytical samplings being conducted over the term
of the permit at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO).
A representative storm event is a storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall
and that is preceded by at least 72 hours in which no storm event measuring greater than 0.1
inches has occurred. A single storm event may contain up to 10 consecutive hours of no
precipitation. For example, if it rains for 2 hours without producing any collectable discharge,
and then stops, a sample may be collected if a rain producing a discharge begins again within the
next 10 hours.
