Re: NPDES Permit #ncs000373 Renewal
Mr. Mills,
Please accept the enclosed permit renewal application for Michelin Aircraft Tire
Corporation's NPDES permit 4ncs000373. I believe that all pertinent and supplemental
information has been included according to the instruction letter sent out by the Division
of Water Quality.
MATC has been operating according to its storm water permit throughout its
duration. Due to the capricious and arbitrary nature of the weather, however, MATC was
not able to perform all of its qualitative sampling during the "windows" specified in our
original permit (Apr. -June and Sept. -Nov.). When weather conditions did not permit our
sampling within the specified windows, the first storm event occurring afterwards was
used. I was pleased to see the elimination of the sampling "windows" and the
implementation of sampling anytime during the year as long as it meets the new criteria
for a representative storm event. That will make sampling much easier.
If you have any questions, comments or suggestions for improving the format of
the information supplied, please contact me. If this renewal package is deficient in any
way, please contact me IMMEDIATELY so that I may have the opportunity to resubmit
within the specified time limit (prior to April 3, 2004). Thank you for your time and
consideration.

considered complete:
(Do not submit the site Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan)
Initials
dDA1 1. A current Site Map from the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. The location of
industrial activities (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas and
loading and unloading areas), drainage structures, drainage areas for each outfall, building
locations and impervious surfaces should be clearly noted.
y/•l 2. A summary of Analytical Monitoring results during the term of the existing permit (if your
permit required analytical sampling). Do not submit individual lab reports. The summary
can consist of a table including such items as outfall number, parameters sampled, lab
results, date sampled, and storm event data. *
1211— 3. A summary of the Visual Monitoring results. Do not submit individual monitoring reports.
The summary can consist of a table including such items as outfall number, parameters
surveyed, observations, and date monitoring conducted.
om4. A summary of the Best Management Practices utilized at the permitted facility. Summary
should consist of a short narrative description of each BMP's in place at the facility. If the
implementation of any BMP's is planned, please include information on these BMP's.
eZ� 5. A short narrative describing any significant changes in industrial activities at the permitted
facility. Significant changes could include the addition or deletion of work processes,
changes in material handling practices, changes in material storage practices, and/or
��''1�,��,�( changes in the raw materials used by the facility.
l/1 v t G. Certification of the development and implementation of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plan for the permitted facility (Sign and return attached form).

SECTION 3
EXISTING MEASURES AND CONTROLS
This section describes the existing measures and controls at Michelin's Norwood
facility for minimizing the potential of contaminating storm water. Section 3.1
describes general measures and controls at the facility, and Section 3.2 describes the
measures and controls for the specific potential pollutant sources identified during the
site assessment.
3.1 GENERAL MEASURES AND CONTROLS
A review of facility programs that directly or indirectly prevent and/or mitigate
releases of contaminants to storm water is presented below. The following measures
and controls are discussed:
• Good Housekeeping Practices
• Standard Operating Procedures
• Visual Inspections
• Preventive Maintenance
• Integrated Spill Prevention, Control & Countermeasure Plan
• Spill Prevention/Response Team
• Employee Training
• Security
3.1.1 Good Housekeeping Practices
Good housekeeping practices are a part of Michelin's operation to maintain a clean
and orderly environment and thereby reduce the possibility of accidental spills and
equipment damage that may result in releases to surface waters. Examples of these
practices include the following:
• A contract cleaning operation cleans the production areas twice per day
with a sweeper. (Inside - keeps loading dock areas clean)
• Drip pans with absorbent rags are located under nozzles on the 55-gallon
drums at lubricating oil stations. (Eliminates oil escaping through floor
drains or cracks in the floor)
3-1
03/17/04

• All areas are cleaned at the end of each shift by the employees. Brooms,
dust -pans and trash containers are stored throughout the plant.
• Spills of any kind are contained and cleaned up promptly.
3.1.2 Standard Operating Procedures
To further enhance a clean, orderly environment, employees are trained in standard
operating procedures (SOPs) that have been developed for all work posts. The SOPS
specify the safety protection required, the instructions for performing the work task, the
cleaning procedures, and the instructions for emergency stops. They are also trained
on what to do if a spill occurs on site, and their role in preventing pollution of the
environment.
SOP's used by facilities personnel during the course of their work include specific
procedures on inspection of grounds, equipment maintenance, and environmentally safe
methods of loading, unloading, and transfer of oils, hazardous substances, or wastes.
3.1.3 Visual Inspections
In addition to the visual inspections of production equipment and production areas
that occur on a continuous basis during production, Michelin has two additional formal
visual inspection practices. The first is a daily inspection of the facility during all
scheduled production days, and the second is an inspection conducted every two hours
during scheduled plant shutdowns. Inspection forms used for these procedures are
included in Appendix C of the SWPPP.
3.1.4 Preventive Maintenance
Michelin has established a preventive maintenance schedule tracked by computer to
keep equipment at the facility in good operating condition. The system provides a
summary at the beginning of each week of all equipment scheduled for maintenance that
week. Regular maintenance is performed on such things as the Rotocyclone and the
Green Tire Paint booth; both of which have a potential to send particulate matter out of
the plant and into the environment. Examples of the preventive maintenance forms are
shown in Appendix C. Maintenance activities performed are recorded in the system.
3.1.5 Integrated Spill Prevention, Control & Countermeasure Plan
Michelin has implemented an Integrated Spill Prevention, Control and
Countermeasure plan which combines the procedures outlined in 40 CFR.265(c)
(Prevention & Preparedness Plan) and 40 CFR.112.7 (Spill Prevention, Control, &
Countermeasure plan). It outlines plant operations, oil and hazardous substances used
or generated, responsibilities, management practices, equipment, containment
3-2
03/17/04

procedures, and reporting requirements in the event of an unplanned release into the
environment.
3.1.6 Spill Prevention/Response Team
While only 1 minor spill has occurred at the Michelin facility, response procedures
have been established should a spill occur (document EP0013MOO). The emergency
coordinator is to be immediately notified in the event of a spill, and he/she will take all
necessary steps to contain the spill. Michelin has several employees trained to be
members of the Spill Team. Those individuals are trained to utilize containment
equipment (absorbents, bags, dams, etc.) to contain spills. All spills are reported using
form EP0015MOO.
3.1.7 Employee Training
Employees at Michelin receive training as dictated by their job responsibilities. All
employees receive an orientation training which includes the following topics:
• OSHA Hazard Communication
• Emergency Evacuation Procedures
• Lock Out/ Tag Out
• Plant Safety Policies
• Hearing Conservation
• Fire Equipment Codes
• Fire Extinguisher Training
Some employees receive the following training programs:
• HAZCOM Training - Facilities group trained to handle hazardous
materials
• Forklift Training
• Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan / Integrated SPCC & PPP
• ISO14001 Environmental Management
Management and production employees receive training on the Integrated Spill
Prevention Control & Countermeasure plan and the Storm Water Pollution Prevention
plan annually. Records are kept by the Training Department.
3-3
03/17/04

3.1.8 Security
Unauthorized access is discouraged by means of a fence around the entire facility,
video camera surveillence, and several "No Trespassing" signs. Entry is controlled by
electronic access cards and a computer system. Public access is only allowed by
prearranged visit or presentation of a legitimate business need to office personnel or
Shipping & Receiving personnel. Additionally, all visitors must sign in and out and
wear visitor passes while at the facility.
3.2 MEASURES AND CONTROLS FOR SPECIFIC POLLUTANT SOURCES
Section 2 of the SWPPP plan presented a site assessment of the Michelin facility
and identified 11 potential pollutant sources. The existing measures and controls for
these source are described in Table 3.1.
34
03/17/04

TABLE 3.1
EXISTING MEASURES AND CONTROLS FOR SPECIFIC POLLUTANT
SOURCES
Potential Pollutant Source
Existing Measures/Controls
1. Waste Rubber/Waste Tissue Loading
• Loading dock is covered.
2. Green Tire Paint Station Vents
• Exhaust system is thoroughly
inspected weekly.
3. New Tire Residing Vent
• Dust collection system is inspected
regularly.
4. Lacolene Unloading Station
The SPCC Plan is the principal control
measure used. Key elements of the plan
are summarized below:
• The storm drain is covered prior to the
unloading operation.
• Warning signs are posted, and wheel
chocks are used to prevent vehicle
departure before unloading complete.
• Storage tank is equipped with level
indicator within view of unloading
personnel.
• Unloading personnel required to
observe entire unloading operation.

CHANGES TO INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITIES
The retread operation was removed from the Norwood site of Michelin
Aircraft Tire Corporation. This eliminated two of the potential pollution
sources previously listed: the bagfilter / cyclone operation used to accumulate
the rubber particulates (grindings), and the trailer formerly stationed outside to
capture the rubber dust as it was funneled from the collector (the area around
was a potential source of pollution).
The Lacolene unloading station was improved by the addition of a concrete
containment area designed to capture the contents of an entire tanker should it
rupture during the transfer or unloading of the solvent. The station has
drainage (under lock and key) and is inspected for accumulated rainwater.
Any water is inspected for oil and debris before being released through the
dike drain.
A revised "Spill Reporting Procedure" and "Spill Reporting Form" were
developed and implemented throughout the plant.
An improved "Hazardous Waste Control Procedure" was developed and
implemented.
A "Facility Security Plan" was developed and implemented as required of all
shippers & generators of Hazardous Waste by the Dept. of Transportation.
The use of Chlorine gas was discontinued at the site and replaced with an
environmentally friendly system. This eliminated the only Extremely
Hazardous Substance in use at Norwood.
- The Norwood site of MATC is implementing an ISO14001 environmental
management system. The site plans on obtaining outside certification by the
end of 2005. All employees will be involved with the development,
monitoring and sustaining of the system.
