Central Office Review Summary:
1. Special Issues:
• This area of Newport River is not impaired; however, the section of Bogue Sound
contiguous to this receiving waterbody segment is classified SA; HWQ and also
impaired. Those shellfishing waters are impaired from fecal contamination (2014
Integrated Report Map Viewer) and mercury(statewide TMDL in place to address that).
• Central Office requests guidance from WiRO on whether representative outfall
status should be revisited and whether the currently monitored outfalls are
appropriate. Permit specified outfalls 302,402,506A1, 506B1, 510,803,and 907._

discharges of stormwater and was not under this.permit Could the WiRO confirm
whether this is still the case,or whether this permit should include that area?
2. Changes at the facility since previous permit:
o Owner affiliation and Facility Contact have been changed (updated in BIMS.
o Wood products,logs,and woodchips have become the prevalent commodity stored
outdoors. Grate inlet protection devices installed to reduce debris in stormwater
system.
3. Receiving Waters: This area of Newport River is not impaired; however,the section of Bogue
Sound contiguous to this receiving waterbody segment is classified SA; HWQ(more sensitive)
high quality waters). Those shellfishing waters are also listed as impaired because of fecal
contamination (2014 Integrated Report)and mercury (a statewide TMDL in place to address
this parameter).
4. Threatened and Endangered Species: No aquatic species noted in the Port Area,although a
reptile (Diamondback Terrapin) with State Status of"special concern" is within this area. The
federally endangered Atlantic Sturgeon fish (State Status"special concern") is located within
one-mile of the Port area [Natural Heritage Data Explorer map query on July 18,2016].
5. Analy1ical and or Qualitative monitoring during his a ermit le: See application for
summary. Sample results from two dates (10/2012 and 6/2010)were provided,as well as one
additional sample for Outfai1402 (8/2012). Example qualitative monitoring results were
included for several other outfalls that have to be observed routinely.
o COD and TSS exceedances recorded at outfall 402. TSS was slightly over benchmark
(102 mg/1),and COD was 294 mg/l (8/2012). A sample later that same year(10/2012)
showed levels well below benchmarks. No information about potential sources or
problems was included. Visual monitoring form for 10/2012 observation at 402 notes
Tier Two monitoring.
o A COD exceedance (143 mg/1)at outfall 506B1 recorded in 6/2010. Visual
observation that day only noted "Few organic particles." No other information about
potential sources or problems was included.
o Total Phosphorus(TP) levels at 803 and 506A1 have been below benchmarks;
however,"the sample at 803 in 2012 was very close to the benchmark value of 2 mg/l
(1.93 mg/1). Draft permit maintains TP monitoring at both outfalls. Does the WiRO
concur or advise differently?
o Oil&Grease values were typically<5 mg/I;the revised non-polar O&G (1664 SGT-HEM
Method) benchmark of 15 mg/l should not be a problem.
6. Rationale for monitoring parameters: See above, attached staff report from previous permit
cycle,and copy of final issuance letter in 2008.
7. Permit, Facility.and Owner C=acts updates:
® Confirmed contact information with permittee and updated BIMS if necessary.
® Obtained e-mail addresses for permit contact and updated BIMS.
8. Annual Fees:
® Confirmed in BIMS that permittee does not owe fees.

NCS000173 —Staff Report Request 2016
Recommendations:
Based on the documents reviewed,the application information submitted on March 26, 2013 is
sufficient to issue an Individual NPDES Stormwater Permit.
Central Office recommends reissuance of this permit with the same monitoring as the previous
cycle, except for the revision of"Oil&Grease" to specifically Non-polar Oil&Grease via the 1664
(SGT-HEM) test method along with the corresponding standard benchmark of 15 mg/l (change
from 0&G 30 mg/l benchmark in the last permit).
The draft permit replaces "Oil and Grease"with Non-polar Oil &Grease monitoring with Method
1664 (SGT-HEM) for vehicle maintenance areas. This change incorporates consistency with other
permits where vehicle maintenance monitoring applies. The draft permit reflects the most recent
individual stormwater permit template and boiler plate language,including mandatory electronic
reporting requirements.

W i RO Review:
• Representative outfalls inspected and found to be apt for sampling purposes.
• On the map there is no 302 outfall. 301 is the correct one.
• The tidal influences should be documented per sample as to differentiate between High tide
samples and low tide samples.
• The old aviation terminal AVT on Radio Island is not in the scope of this permit application
according to Todd Walton. PCS should be permitting that area.
• The wood products and wood chips area treated with two paved settling basins. The water
quality appeared to be less septic as it did last year, probably from recent rain and lack of
activity from the chipping operation. I do think that there should be greater efforts to reduce
the amount of organic debris in the ponds,such as fabric barriers or socks. There isn't much to
be done with the aerial wood chips. Maintenance on the Northwestern pond needs to be done.
• Did not review in depth the sampling data,time did not allow.

Subject:Final NPDES StormwaterPermit
Permit NCS000173
NC State Ports Authority-Morehead City
Terminal
Carteret County
Dear Mr. Walton:
In response to your renewal application for continued coverage under NPDES stormwater permit
NCS000173,the Division of Water Quality(Division)is forwarding herewith the subject state-NPDES
permit. This permit is issues{pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and
the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S.Environmental Protection agency
dated October 15,2007(or as subsequently amended).
This final permit includes the following changes from the draft pemdt sent to you an April 29,2008:
• Clarification that the first valid sample during the monitoring period should be compared to
benchmarks. If the facility chooses to take"follow-up"samples during the same period,benchmark
exceedences would not trigger additional tier responses.
• Clarification that qualitative monitoring does'not need to be performed independently on a semi-
annual schedule in addition to analytical monitoring(removal of"and"from text in Part II,Section C).
Qualitative monitoring should be performed at the same time as the analytical sampling. If analytical
monitoring is not required at a storntwater outfall(for example,if representative outfall status is
granted), qualitative monitoring is still required(text added to the final permit to clarify this point).
• Revisions to the boiler plate language in Part III(Standard Conditions)to be consistent with the
current NPDES stormwater permit template. Changes include updated references to legal penalties
and signatory requirements. Please note that the permit now requires that Qualitative Monitoring
Report(QMR)forms provided by the Division be used(Section E). The most recently revised QMR
forms are available on our website at:
http-Jfh2o-e!nr.state-nc.us/su/Forms-Documents.htm#stormwaterGP
• Removal of monitoring at outfall 91IA1 from the Vehicle Maintenance Activity Monitoring
Requirements. This deletion is based on redevelopment alterations at the Port since the permit was
first drafted_ In addition,specific references to representative outfalls for Vehicle Maintenance have
been removed because you indicated all vehicle maintenance activities are now conducted indoors. If
any vehicle maintenance activities are exposed in the future in drainage areas to outfalls not being
monitored, monitoring at those additional outfalls is required. t

• The requirement to monitor SDO 402 remains in the permit. We understand the location of 402 will
change from the original drop inlet(which has been removed/paved over),and that the inlet just to
the northeast will instead be SDO 402. Please ensure the location of the newly designated SDO 402 is
consistent in the facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan_
Failure to complete the monitoring as required is a violation of the permit and any permit noncompliance
constitutes a violation of the Clean Water Act. Reference Part III,Section A,Item 2"Duty to Comply",Item 9
"Penalties for Tarnpering"and Item 10"Penalties for Falsification of Reports"of your permit for further
information.
If any parts,measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable to
you,you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty(30)days following
receipt of this letter.This request must be in the form of a written petition,conforming to Chapter 150B of the
North Carolina General Statutes,and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings,Post Office Drawer
27447,Raleigh, North Carolina 27611 -7447. Unless such demand is made,this decision shall be final and
binding.
Please take notice this permit is not transferable. Part III,B.2. addresses the requirements to be followed in
case of change in ownership or control of this discharge. This permit does not affect the legal requirements
to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water Quality or permits required by
the Division of Land Resources,Coastal Area Management Act or any other Federal or Local.
governmental permit that may be required.

apparent point source discharges of stormwater from the property;however,after development;the
NCPA planned to have an infrastructure to convey stormwater runoff(has not yet happened). "
Description of Activities:
Multiple activities and transfer of various products occur at this site. At the time of a site visit with the region in early
2006,the Port was a major importer of unprocessed rubber(all stored inside): There were also numerous railcars of
borate from mining. The Port also leases to several government and private companies, such as:
• Owens Corning operates the Trumbull Asphalt facility(changed name to?) �
• Morehead City Terminals operates a bulk wood chip handling facility N ow Goari4
Since last renewal,the company had no significant changes in industrial activities but has made improvements by
residing several transfer towers to reduce fugitive emissions--potential stormwater contamination. At the Port's urging,
PCS Phosphate(bulk handling of fertilizer)will fimally be covered under a separate individual stormwater Permit(status:
drafted and sent to the region for comment). This will result in a change in monitoring for at least one outkU. w

After much back and forth about whether PCS Phosphate would apply for a separate permit,the Port's draft
renewal permit(retaining the PCS facility)was scheduled for public notice on 1/17/2007. Held it back from
notice because PCS Phosphate finally agreed to apply for a separate permit.
• 2/5/2007:PCS application for individual NPDES stormwater permit received. Reassigned late 2007; draft

Central Office Review Summary:
1. Owner's Other Permits: 1�p l v-VA" n PO
a Tenants have other permits: t5�3 w jLgk* ,- ('
• Morehead City LLC also has two outfalls covered by NPDES wastewater permit No._NC0077666. That permit
allows discharge of treated runoff from crushed bulk storage materials(wood chips, stone, and steel slag)that has
been muted through settling basins.
• Trumball Asphalt Plant: The property used to belong to Owens Corning but was sold in 1997 to the Port, so
now Corning is only a tenant. The old wastewater permit for O/W separator discharge(NC0007749)was
rendered inactive after the transfer and was never reissued. The only NPDES wastewater permit Owens Coming
continues to renew is NCG500354(non-contact cooling,boiler blow-down).
2. General Observations:Biggest challenge at this site will be good housekeeping to control contamination firom
track-out and fugitive dust.
3. Impairment: This area of the Newport River(Restricted Harbor Area surrounding the Port) is not impaired;
however,sections of the river contiguous to this area are on the 2006 303(d)List and Draft 2008 List. Those
shellfish waters are impaired because of fecal contamination(closed to shellfishing). The White Oak Basinwide
Plan cites runoff from urban areas and subdivisions(populations and development have increased significantly
in the past five years along this area of the coast, including in Morehead City).
While fecal coliform(more recently an enterococcus standard for salt waters applies instead) is certainly a
concern for this receiving water, the activities conducted at Port are not generally expected to be a source. The
reviewer determined bacteriological monitoring is not appropriate at this time. However,TMDL language in the
permit notes the problem.
It should be noted that Calico Creek,which flows into the Newport River to the west of the Port, was added to
the Draft 2008 303(d)List because of fecal coliform, chlorophyll a, dissolved oxygen(DO), and turbidity
Page 3 of 9

NCS000173
violations. Major water duality impacts in the creek are from urban nonpoint sources and the Morehead Ci
WWTP,which contributes significant oxygen consuming wastes and nutrients. The creek is not classified SA,
but it is permanently closed to shellfish harvesting by DEH. The Basinwide Plan documents pending upg"des
to the WWTP,more stringent effluent limits,and recommends a nondischarge alternative. This WWTP point
source is"upstream"(though tidal waters are not so well flushed)of the PCS facility at the Port,but: it does add
to Calico Creek's pollutant loading on the Newport River. These conditions establish a need for the Port and its
tenants to reduce potential bacteria,nutrients,and oxygen demand introduced during storm events as much as
possible.
4. Threatened and Endangered: None noted. A federal`°species of concern"(Southern Hogriose Snake),and a state
species of"special concern"(Carolina Diamondback Teirapin).in the database for surrounding area.
5. Stohnwater Effluent Guidelines: '40 CFR§418.11 stormwater effluent limits apply to asphalt plants facilities;
ho,vever,this site is a bulls handlirig operation only. The draft permit proposes benchmarks for pollutants of
concern and a tiered set of responses based on exceedances but does not include effluent limits at this time. A
case might be made for TP andeluoride-limits in the futtire if there are compliance issues and/or water quality
impacts.
6. EPA MultiSector General Permit: EPA's 2000 MSGP requires monitoring for total recoverable aluminum,iron,
lead,and zinc. The 2006 Draft MSGP proposes,to add TSS monitoring in addition to these metals. However,
the MSGP also includes marinas'-in the Water Transportation Sector(Marinas are covered by a separate General
Permit in North Carolina). TSS will riow be monitored at.-alf representative outfalls at the Port, but no metals
monitoring is recommended at this time.
7. Location: This site discharges stormwater to the Restricted Morehead City Harbor Area,classified as SC waters.
Note that the section of the Newport River contiguous to the restricted harbor area is classified SA; HQW.
8. Industrial Changes Since Previous Permit: PCS Phosphate no longer included—will be permitted separately
(proposed NCS000520). Only redevelopment activities--new warehouse added near Berth#9.
9. Analytical Monitoring Notes: See Table 1. Elevated COD levels at all but one oud". NCPA has been cognizant
of high levels and has made improvernpts to lower stormwater impacts;for example,the port has covered bulk
conveyor-belts purchased a new street sweeper,and implemented routine maintenance. During sampling event in
2/2004,records for outfa�03 k� 10-noted-"compl-iiO J'"conditions nd no analytical results were available.
The camparty failed to sample outfaIh 803 phosphorus during the past permit tern,,but levels during 1996-99 were
between 1-2 mg/1.
10. OtWitative Monitoring Notes: 2000-04 records frorn Central Files reviewed;very few problems. Noted higher
suspended solids at outfall 907(Wood Chip storage)in only one quarter. (Runoff from chip operations treated prior
to discharge, covered under NCO077666).

- 't Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring:
ewer recommends expanding pH monitoring(which Port Authority already performs routinely), O&G, and TSS
monitoring to all representative outfalls. O&G and TSS are appropriate indicators for stormwater contamination at a
large transit facility and inexpensive to monitor, and these parameters are already required for the subset of outfalls with
drainage from vehicle maintenance areas. In addition,TSS monitoring at outfalls 402 and 502(added to capture asphalt
plant runoff)is consistent with the NCG 16 general stormwater permit for asphalt operations-
Although fecal coliform is a problem in these waters,do not expect port operations to be a significant source. (Would
also be difficult to assess contribution with marine birds usually congregating near ports.)
0utfa11103 no longer applies to this permit because it is part of PCS Phosphate and TP will be inonitored there under NCS000520.
Reviewer recommends retaining TP monitoring at outfall 803 but eliminating the requirement for other representative
outfalls at the Port because(1)TP levels were low and(2)would not expect phosphorus to he a major pollutant of
concern at the other outfalls.
Representative Outfalls:Possible representative outfall revisions were considered during initial review(see 2006 staff
report request). This draft permit recommends to:
• Add sampling at outfail 911A1 to vehicle maintenance monitoring(site ahr-ady initiated monitoring).
• Retain sampling at 506B1 &911A1 outfalls because COD and/or TSS levels were elevated, and because these
outfalls represent vehicle maintenance areas. Because the Port has the ability to sample drop inlets that segregate
these areas,there is a benefit to keeping these sample locations.
• Add sampling at 402 and 506A1 (just downstream of the O/W separator)to capture asphalt operations. The
old wastewater permit for the oil/water separator discharge(NC0007749,previously issued to Owens Corning)
is no longer active,and none of the other outfalls raptures runoff from asphalt plant operations—an industrial
activity subject to NEDES stormwater regulations. Outfall 506A1 will better segregate the asphalt plant
activities and eliminate redundancy with 506B1.
• Add TP sampling at 506 Al because phosphoric acid is used as a neutralization chemical(potential residue
from this discharge exposed to stormwater)-
• No sampling added for fish meal operation since discharge sheet flows at north of property.
Monitoring frequency will increase to semi-annually to ensure at least nine data points are collected through the permit
term and to be consistent with qualitative monitoring frequency. Benchmark values and a tiered response approach to
exceedences have been added for consistency with all other individual and general permits issued over the past year.
Stormwater gjha t limits for discharges f inm asphalt paving and roofing emulmom production areas:40 CFR§443 imposes daily
maximum and monthly average O&G and TSS limits on these discharges. Section 40 CFR§122.44(k)(3)grants N.C.
authority to require BMPs in lieu of permit limits(Note NCG 16 for asphalt operations has no limits either). However,
future reviewers should consider how analytical results over the next cycle compare to those limits.and consider whether
they are appropriate:

Discussions with permit contact(new): March 25, 2008: Todd Walton,NCPA(910)251-5678:
1, Q: The old Aviation Fuel Terminal(AFT)site at Radio Island was undergoing remediation and did not have a
point source discharge of storrwater at the time of the inspection in 2066. There were plans for the Port to build
a drainage infrastructure; what is the status of this site?
a. ANSWER: Just fuiished up remediation(excavation,etc.) No drainage structures have been
built; still no point sources of stormwater/no additional permit requirements.
2. Q: Are there boat washing activities here?
a. ANSWER: No,none that NCPA is aware of.
3. Q Has anything changed with Trumbull Asphalt?
a. ANSWER: Only that the name has changed(Trumbull went bankrupt). Saute operation.
4. Q Any other major changes since early 2006?
a. ANSWER: The Port did tear down some buildings near the Trumbull plant and construct a new
180,000 square foot warehouse behind Berth#9. This was part of a State Stoormwater
redevelopment project that was permitted by DWQ; infiltration basins were constructed around
the perimeter of the building.

The permittee shall develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SPPP). The SPPP shall be maintained on site unless exempted from this requirement by
the Division. The SPPP is public information in accordance with Part II1, 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 Apected�to contribute to
contamination of stormwater discharges. The Site Ove ie%&Lshall contain the following:
(a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle. appropriately drafted equivalent
map), showing the facility's location in relation tV.ransportation routes and surface
waters; the name of the receiving wa.ters�to"�'hiA the stormwater outfalls
discharge, or if the discharge is to amun�cipl eparate storm sewer system, the
name of the municipality and theultirnateeTeceiving waters; and accurate latitude
and longitude of the poi t`fsttor mwater discharge associated with industrial
activity. The general location,mXMo alternatively the site map) shall identify
whether any receiving te>r=s=are impaired (on the state's 303(d) list of impaired
waters) or if the sitefis'lo ated�in'a'watershed for which a TMDL has been
established, and whatthe 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 11 Page 1 of 15

• Permit No.NCS000173
(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
// q. r rr
of materials and processes to rainfall and run-on�fl t+vs:.Wherever practical, the
permittee shall prevent exposure of all storage/�a''reas, material handling operations,
and manufacturing or fueling operations. IA areas where elimination of exposure is
not practical, this review shall document-the feasibility of diverting the stormwater
i y I N %r
run-on away from areas of potential contamination.
(b) Secondary Containment Requirem nttss and Records. Secondary containment is
required for: bulk stork a of liquid materials: storage in any amount of Section 313
of Title III of the Superfund&Ame6dments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water
priority chemicals: ands rage,in any amount of hazardous substances, in order to
prevent leaks and spills from cgnntaminating stormwater runoff. A table or summary
of all such tanks andAnred materials and their associated secondary containment
areas shall be maint� Jned.Af 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 11 Page 2 of 15

Permit No.NCS000173'
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 runo fthr, ugh spills or exposure of
materials associated with the facility operations nThe:SPRP must be site stormwater
specific. Therefore, an oil Spill Prevention Control a4i C- o ntermeasure plan (SPCC)
may be a component of the SPRP,but may not be.-sufficient-to completely address the
stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The commonelements of the SPCC with the SPRP may
be incorporated by reference into the SPRP
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Aousekeeping Program. A preventative
maintenance and good housekeeping�program,.shall be developed and implemented.
The program shall address all,stormwater`co trol systems (if applicable), stormwater
discharge outfalls,all on-site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial
activity areas (including ma ial storage areas, material handling areas,disposal areas,
process areas, loading and,unloadrng areas,and haul roads),all drainage features and
structures,and existing;structural BMPs. The program shall establish schedules of
inspections, maintenaWce`and-housekeeping activities of stormwater control systems,

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.

this permit is revoked or rescinded. 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 stormwater discharge outfalls(SDOs) 302,402,506A1,
506131,510,803,and 907 unless otherwise specified (e.g.,TP monitoring). If there are any changes to the
representative outfall status(ROS)of these locations,a copy of the Division's letter granting or modifying
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.
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

Permit No.NCS000173
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.

2 If no discharge occurs dungtKe 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.

This site discharges near, but not directly into, impaired waters experiencing problems
with fecal coliform. If a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is approved for this segment of
the Newport River or the Harbor Channel,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 REQUIrktflh4�ectiveness
EMENTS
The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to evalua of the Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and identify nevpofential sources of stormwater
pollution. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater utfa ls�must be performed during a
measurable storm event
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual Inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of
representative outfall status. Qualitative moan g shall be performed semi-annually as
specified in Table 4, and during quired_(analytical monitoring events (unless the permittee
is required to perform further gt�tiv`einomtoring per the Qualitative Monitoring
Response, below). Inability�tomonitor�because of adverse weather conditions must be
documented in the SPPP anii recorded on the Qualitative Monitoring Report form (see
Adverse Weather in Definitions).,0 In y 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.

Qualitative Moditonn Res onse
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�aewhen
occurring on-site which uses more
than 55 gallons of new motor oil per moonthX averaged over the calendar year
shall perform analytical monitoring as splecified below in Table 5. All analytical
monitoring shall be perform ed,duringa measu able storm event at all stormwater
discharge outfalls (SDOs) that disc ctarg s�ormwater runoff from vehicle maintenance areas,
