Dear Ms. Stein:
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit sent on September 14,
2005 that was developed by the Division's central and regional staff. The significant changes to
your previous permit are summarized in the cover letter of this permit. As we discussed on the
telephone, this letter was addressed to your predecessor who has since retired. For that reason, I
am re -sending the draft permit for your review and comment. I have revised the draft sent in
2005 to reflect that the permit will be signed and effective in 2007, and that it will expire in
2012. This new draft permit is also enclosed. Other than this change, the draft permit from 2005
has remained unchanged. Please provide any comments to me no later than thirty (30) days
following the receipt of this letter. Comments should be sent to the address listed at the bottom
of this page. Concurrently, the Division will publish a public notice in your local paper in order
to advise the community of this change and to solicit their feedback. The public will be given
until February 8, 2007 to submit comments to the Division. If no adverse comments are received
from the public or from you, this permit will likely be issued in about two months.
If you have any questions or comments concerning this draft permit, please contact me at
919.733.5083 x376 or [e-mail].
Sincerely,
0ellyJohnson

Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit
Permit No. NCS000057
Chemical Specialties

Dear Mr. Howie
Enclosed with this letter is a, copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. Please review the draft very
carefully. to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains.
The draft permit contains the following significant changes from this facility's current permit:
• In Part II, Sec. B, arsenic and chromium monitoring has been. removed.
• Total Flow monitoring has been removed. The permit still requires that Total Rainfall amount and Rainfall
.Event Duration be recorded for each sampling event. This change is also based on the Division's revised_
strategy for stormwater monitoring in renewal permits.' Please note that the Stormwater Pollution .
Prevention Plan (SPPP) site map must include drainage area for each outfall in acres and the .
percentage of each drainage area that is impervious (see Part 11, Sec. A).
All, analytical monitoring has changed from annual to semi-annual (once in the spring and once in the
fall). This change is based on the Division's revised strategy for stormwater monitoring in renewal permits .
and makes stormwater discharge sampling frequency consistent with qualitative monitoring. Please note
= that analytical monitoring must still be performed during a representative storm event (whereas qualitative . -
does not).
• Instead of "cut-off concentrations", the Division has incorporated benchmark values into the permit. These
benchmarks are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for your facility's Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SPPP). If any measurements exceed benchmark values, your facility should evaluate the
effectiveness of its Best Management Practices (BMPs), review and/or update the SPPP, and document any
efforts to address stormwater contamination (see Part II, Sections B and D).
Please submit any comments to me, no Later than thirty (30) days following your receipt of the draft. Comments
should be sent to the address listed at the bottom of this page. If no adverse comments are received from the public
or from you, this permit will likely be issued in about two months.
If you have any -questions or comments concerning this draft permit, contact me at [phone] x 537 or
jonathan.diggs @ncmail.net.
Sincerely,
onathan A. Diggs
