Why Industrial Sites with Stormwater are Subject to a Permit: Federal NPDES regulations define
stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity in 40 CFR §122.26 (b)(14) as: "the discharge
from any conveyance that is used for collecting and conveying storm water and that is directly related to
manufacturing,processing or raw materials storage areas at an industrial plant. The term does not
include discharges from facilities or activities excluded from the NPDES program under this part 122.
For the categories of industries identified in this section, the term includes, but is not limited to, storm
water [sic] discharges from industrial plant yards; immediate access roads and rail lines used or traveled
by carriers of raw materials, manufactured products, waste material, or byproducts used or created by
the facility; material handling sites; refuse sites; sites used for the application or disposal of process
waste waters (as defined at part 401 of this chapter); sites used for the storage and maintenance of
material handling equipment; sites used for residual treatment, storage, or disposal; shipping and
receiving areas; manufacturing buildings; storage areas (including tank farms) for raw materials, and
intermediate and final products; and areas where industrial activity has taken place in the past and
significant materials remain and are exposed to storm water. For the purposes of this paragraph, material
handling activities include storage, loading and unloading, transportation, or conveyance of any raw
material, intermediate product, final product, byproduct or waste product. The term excludes areas
located on plant lands separate from the plant's industrial activities, such as office buildings and
accompanying parking lots as long as the drainage from the excluded areas is not mixed with storm
water [sic] drained from the above described areas."

Threatened/Endangered Species:
There are not threatened/endangered species in the nearby vicinity of the facility, however, there is a
species of concern: Copper Emerald(Somatochlora georgiana; NC status: SR)
Section 3. Proposed Monitoring for Stormwater Discharges:
The Division considered potential pollutants from past and present industrial activities and data was
submitted for February 2015 to March 2023. Quantitative sampling included pH, TSS, COD, and one
sample each of O&G, total phosphorus, TKN, and total nitrogen.
Parameters are based on potential pollutants in the drainage area, sampling results, and in some cases,
dependent upon future activities (e.g., ash removal through the drainage area). Below is a table of the
proposed monitoring for each outfall at the Premiere Fibers site.

Stormwater Benchmarks and Tiered Response: Rather than limits,North Carolina NPDES
Stormwater permits contain benchmark concentrations. Stormwater benchmarks are numerical action
levels for stormwater monitoring. Benchmarks are not effluent limits, and benchmark exceedances are
not permit violations. Benchmarks provide facilities a tool for assessing the significance of pollutants in
stormwater discharges and the effectiveness of best management practices (BMPs). Benchmark
concentrations are intended as guidelines for the facility's development and implementation of the
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP).
Benchmark exceedances require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions,
increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater BMPs in a tiered program. The permit establishes a
tiered approach to specify actions the permittee must take in response to analytical results above
benchmark concentrations. The tiered structure of the permit provides the permittee and DEMLR wide
flexibility to address issues that may arise with one or more parameters and/or outfalls.
Metals benchmarks are calculated to mimic acute water quality standards and with the guidance of
DWR. NC DWR follows established federal procedures for calculating acute standards when developing
the benchmarks. Just like the acute standards, metals benchmarks normally reflect one half of the
calculated Final Acute Value (the "1/2 FAV"). In most cases, translation into total recoverable values is
based on an assumed hardness of 25 mg/L and a total suspended solids (TSS) concentration of 10 mg/L.
Acute standards protect aquatic life from negative impacts of short-term exposure to higher levels of
chemicals where the discharge enters a waterbody. The Stormwater Permitting Program applies this
approach because of the ephemeral nature of rainfall events.
The Division may evaluate results to determine if a smaller suite of parameters for some outfalls is
adequate to characterize potential pollution or BMP effectiveness. For example, one or more metals or
other parameters may serve as an adequate tracer for the presence of ash pollution during disturbance or
ash removal in specific drainage areas at this site. For parameters that do not have a stormwater
benchmark, the Division may develop a benchmark value if appropriate toxicity data become available
or if rising trends in concentrations suggest a persistent source.
A summary of the benchmarks in the draft permit, and their basis, is below:
Parameter Benchmark Basis
Total Suspended 100 mg/L National Urban Runoff Program(NURP) Study, 1983
Solids TSS
H 6 s.u. —9 s.u. NC Water Quality Standard(Range)
Non-Polar Oil & Review of other state's daily maximum benchmark
Grease 15 mg/L concentration for this more targeted O&G;NC WQS that
EPA Method 1664 does not allow oil sheen in waters
SGT-HEM
BOD 30 mg/L BPJ; Based on Secondary Treatment Regulation(40 CFR
133.03
COD 120 mg/L BPJ; Generally found at levels 4x BOD5 in domestic
wastewaters
Total Nitrogen 30 mg/L TKN +Nitrate+Nitrite Benchmarks (Expressed in mg/L of
N
Page 5 of 7

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan: The proposed permit conditions reflect the EPA and NC's
pollution prevention approach to stormwater permitting. The Division's maintains that implementation
of Best Management Practices (BMPs) and traditional stormwater management practices that control the
source of pollutants meets the definition of Best Available Technology (BAT) and Best Conventional
Pollutant Control Technology(BCT). The permit conditions are not numeric effluent limitations but are
designed to be flexible requirements for implementing site-specific plans to minimize and control
pollutants in stormwater discharges associated with the industrial activity. Title 40 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) §122.44(k)(2) authorizes the use of BMPs in lieu of numeric effluent limitations in
NPDES permits when the agency finds numeric effluent limitations to be infeasible. The agency may
also impose BMP requirements which are "reasonably necessary" to carry out the purposes of the Act
under the authority of 40 CFR 122.44(k)(3). The conditions proposed in this draft permit are included
under the authority of both of these regulatory provisions. In essence, the pollution prevention and BMP
requirements operate as limitations on effluent discharges that reflect the application of BAT/BCT.
Flexibility in Tier Responses: Tier Two actions provide an opportunity for the permittee to propose an
alternative monitoring plan for approval by the Region:
• Alternatively, in lieu of steps 2 and 3, the permittee may, after two consecutive exceedances,
exercise the option of contacting the DEMLR Regional Engineer as provided below in Tier
Three. The Regional Engineer may direct the response actions on the part of the permittee as
provided in Tier Three, including reduced or additional sampling parameters or frequency.
• If pursuing the alternative above after two consecutive exceedances, the permittee may propose
an alternative monitoring plan for approval by the Regional Engineer.
The permit therefore allows the permittee to petition the Regional Office for monitoring changes sooner
than Tier Three (upon any four benchmark exceedances) and gives guidance on one option to take. For
example, the permittee may request that mercury only be monitored semi-annually under the tiers, or
that only parameters over the benchmark be monitored more frequently. In this way, changes to the
monitoring scheme for any outfall could be handled outside of a permit modification.
Other Proposed Requirements:
• It is standard for Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan(SWPPP)requirements to include an
annual certification that stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-
stormwater discharges, and if any are identified, how those discharges are permitted or otherwise
authorized.
• Requirement to submit a request for permit modification if the facility identifies or creates any
new outfalls, removes outfalls, or alters any drainage area that changes potential pollutants.
• The Division expects the permittee to apply best professional judgment and consider the safety
of its personnel in fulfilling sampling obligations under the permit.
• Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs). If a
state does not establish a system to receive such submittals, then permittees must submit DMRs
electronically to the EPA.
• Quarterly QualitativeNisual Monitoring to assure regular observation of outfalls throughout
year.
Section 4. Chances from previous permit to draft:
• Monitoring increased from semi-annually to quarterly for all parameters (qualitative and
quantitative)
Page 6 of 7

• "No discharge" clarifications made
• Feasibility study requirement removed per updated stormwater program requirements
• eDMR requirement added
• Boilerplate language moved into body of the permit; boilerplate no longer attached
• Outfall-specific monitoring been implemented to reflect industrial activity and potential
pollutants specific to each discharge area
• Monitoring for BOD added to SW001 due to storage of wooden pallets in drainage area
• Benchmarks updated for parameters per guidance from DWR Standards group on stormwater
benchmarks
Section 5. Changes from draft to final:
• None
Section 6. Discussions with the Facility and Regional Office:
• Initial contact with facility: 3/3/2023 (requested permit application be submitted);
acknowledgement sent 6/6/2023; Add info request sent 6/8/2023
• Initial contact with Regional Office: 6/8/2023
• Draft sent to CO peer review: N/A
• Draft sent to Regional Office: 7/26/2023
• Final permit sent for supervisor signature: N/A
Section 7. Comments received on draft permit:

Inspection Date: 06/16/2023 Inspection Type:Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
The current permit expired on May 31, 2020. An application for the permit renewal has been submitted and is being
processed with the renewed permit currently under draft review. An inspection was conducted to determine compliance with
the conditions of the current/expired permit.
Melissa Joyner, Denise Bruce and Kelly Jonas met with Mr. Chris Fowler, EHS Manager. The facility's Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SWPPP), including the Analytical and Qualitative Monitoring records was reviewed. The SWPPP did not
have documentation of the annual review and update which should include all items listed under Part Il,Section A, Item 8 of
the current permit. The site map needed to be updated to include all items as listed under Part ll,Section A, Item 1 c of the
permit. The Spill Prevention and Response Procedures (SPRP)did not include the dated names and signatures of the
facility personnel responsible for implementing the SPRP. No records were available for review of the required semi-annual
facility and stormwater system inspections. There was no documentation of the required annual Employee Training available
for review during the inspection.A Best Manangement Practices Summary and Feasibility Study was not included in the
SPPP.
The Analytical and Qualitative Monitoring records were reviewed. In 2019, during Period 1, there were exceedances of the
benchmark values for Total Suspended Solids(TSS), at Outfall 1 and for Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) at Outfalls 4 and
5. Tier One response actions were not initiated in response to these exceedances. No Analytical and Qualitative Monitoring
occurred during Period 1 in 2020. Qualitative Monitoring also did not occur during Period 2 in 2020 and Period 1 in 2021.
During Period 2, in 2020 there was another exceedance of the benchmark value for TSS at Outfall 1. During Period 1 in
2022, at Outfall 4, there was an exceedance of the benchmark value for COD. In Period 2 in 2022, no discharges occurred at
Outfalls 1-5. No monitoring occurred for Period 1 in 2023. At Outfall 4, during Period 2, in 2023, there was an exceedance of
the benchmark value for COD.Tier One and Tier Two response actions have not been initiated for these benchmark
exceedances. There have been two consecutive exceedances of COD at Outfall 4, not including the periods of non-dischargE
and non-sampling. Therefore, per the Tier Two response actions, immediately initiate at Outfall 4 monthly Analytical and
Qualitative Monitoring of all parameters until three consecutive sample results are below the benchmark value or within the
benchmark range.
Observations were made of site conditions including Outfalls 1-5. Erosion was observed near the outlet of Outfall 4 with
recommendations of repair and groundcover stabilization. An open, uncovered container with liquid contents was observed
on a pallet.

Permit: NCS000528 Owner-Facility:Premiere Fibers
Inspection Date: 06/16/2023 Inspection Type:Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
The current permit expired on May 31, 2020. An application for the permit renewal has been submitted and is being
processed with the renewed permit currently under draft review. An inspection was conducted to determine compliance with
the conditions of the current/expired permit.
Melissa Joyner, Denise Bruce and Kelly Jonas met with Mr. Chris Fowler, EHS Manager. The facility's Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SWPPP), including the Analytical and Qualitative Monitoring records was reviewed. The SWPPP did not
have documentation of the annual review and update which should include all items listed under Part Il,Section A, Item 8 of
the current permit. The site map needed to be updated to include all items as listed under Part ll,Section A, Item 1 c of the
permit. The Spill Prevention and Response Procedures (SPRP)did not include the dated names and signatures of the
facility personnel responsible for implementing the SPRP. No records were available for review of the required semi-annual
facility and stormwater system inspections. There was no documentation of the required annual Employee Training available
for review during the inspection.A Best Manangement Practices Summary and Feasibility Study was not included in the
SPPP.
The Analytical and Qualitative Monitoring records were reviewed. In 2019, during Period 1, there were exceedances of the
benchmark values for Total Suspended Solids(TSS), at Outfall 1 and for Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) at Outfalls 4 and
5. Tier One response actions were not initiated in response to these exceedances. No Analytical and Qualitative Monitoring
occurred during Period 1 in 2020. Qualitative Monitoring also did not occur during Period 2 in 2020 and Period 1 in 2021.
During Period 2, in 2020 there was another exceedance of the benchmark value for TSS at Outfall 1. During Period 1 in
2022, at Outfall 4, there was an exceedance of the benchmark value for COD. In Period 2 in 2022, no discharges occurred at
Outfalls 1-5. No monitoring occurred for Period 1 in 2023. At Outfall 4, during Period 2, in 2023, there was an exceedance of
the benchmark value for COD.Tier One and Tier Two response actions have not been initiated for these benchmark
exceedances. There have been two consecutive exceedances of COD at Outfall 4, not including the periods of non-dischargE
and non-sampling. Therefore, per the Tier Two response actions, immediately initiate at Outfall 4 monthly Analytical and
Qualitative Monitoring of all parameters until three consecutive sample results are below the benchmark value or within the
benchmark range.
Observations were made of site conditions including Outfalls 1-5. Erosion was observed near the outlet of Outfall 4 with
recommendations of repair and groundcover stabilization. An open, uncovered container with liquid contents was observed
on a pallet.

Brianna- You had some additional questions which Dewey and I
have tried to answer below:
1. There are used wooden pallets stored outside until an amount for pickup. Used pallets are
stored on the North side of the facility, location reference see Figure 3 near E (trash
dumpster). There are also 2 totally enclosed storage trailers on the East side of the building
used to store electrical and mechanical materials, location reference see Figure 3 near MW-4.
2. There are utility transformers on the east side of the main building and one additional
transformer on the south side of the main building.
3. The materials listed are all stored inside and loaded and unloaded in covered loading docks. I
don't understand the possibility of contact with storm water. Perchloroethylene and refrigerant
oils are no longer on site.
4. There is no industrial activity in storm water outfall areas.
5. Dumpsters are located on the north side of the building(see Figure 3 of the permit application).

Hope this provides additional clarification.

Good afternoon,
Thank you for providing this information. After reviewing everything, I have a few follow-up questions.
1. Are wooden pallets and/or storage trailers outside?
2. Is there an electrical transformer located onsite? If so, please indicate where.
3. What materials are shipped/received from the facility? Information in the permit history indicates materials that
could potentially be exposed to stormwater include yarn,finish oils, degreasing soap, metal powder, boiler
chemicals, perchloroethylene, refrigerant oils, coil cleaners, and maintenance supplies.
4. You provided information on what appears to be industrial activities in the drainage areas outside of the facility.
I apologize if this was not clear in my last request. Please confirm the activities taking place in drainage areas for
each outfall of the facility(SW001 through SW005).
5. Please confirm what drainage area the 2 dumpsters on east side of facility are in.
Please let me know if you have any questions on this request.
Thank you,

You had sent an email requesting Premiere to provide additional information. We have
provided answers to each request in italics as follows:
• Description of chemicals stored onsite;
Answer
We have provided a list contained in Appendix A;however, we would state that
the only chemicals stored outside the building is fuel oil used to fire the boilers.
The remaining chemicals are stored inside and should not be subject to any
stormwater runoff.
• Description of industrial activity in each drainage area;
Answer
The drainage areas depicted in the May 23, 2023 NPDES permit application
(Figure 1) are in an area outside ofAnsonville that has no development other
than residential or farming so there would be no industrial activity.
• An electronic spreadsheet summarizing all of the monitoring data (visual and
analytical)that has been collected since the effective date of the current permit;
Answer
We have provided a spreadsheet of the analytical data since the effective date
of the currentpermit in AppendixB. Please realize that some of the Outfalls do
not have flow during rain events and we missed the Spring 2021 sampling
interval since our sampling technician contacted long-term Covid. We could
not make an Excel spreadsheet of the visual data, but it is included in all of our
individual submittals to NCDEQ.

application for conventional speed or high speed melt spinning processes for producing polyester or
polyamide yarns, consists essentially of oil lubricant component, pentaerythritol ester lubricant,
ethoxylated sorbitan monooleate of HLB ranging from 6 to 15, anionic antistatic agent, water soluble
sulfosuccinate wetting agent, and oil soluble ethoxylated polymethylsiloxane wetting agent having
molecular weight of 400 to 700 and an aqueous surface tension value of less than 21 dynes/cm. The
concentrate has long term stability.
Dowtherm
Versatile Heat Transfer Fluid that can operate in either liquid or vapor phases in order to collect,transport,
and store heat in a variety of heat transfer applications, such as concentrated solar power(CSP)systems.

3.0 COMPARISON WITH OTHER PLANS
Premiere Fibers, Inc. does not maintain any management plans with elements that might
overlap with the emergency response, inspection, and training portions of this SWPPP.
4.0 DESCRIPTION OF POTENTIAL POLLUTION SOURCES
In this section, activities, materials, and physical features of the facility that may contribute
significant amounts of pollutants to storm water runoff or, during periods of dry weather, result in
pollutant discharges through the separate storm sewers or storm water drainage systems that drain
the facility are described.
4.1 FACILITY SITE MAP
Figure 1 is a general location map generated from the U.S. Geological Survey's Ansonville North Carolina,
and provided by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources
showing the facility's location in relation to transportation routes and surface waters. Figure 2 presents a map
of the facility depicting storm water drainage patterns and places where significant materials are exposed to
rainfall and runoff. Figure 2 also depicts areas where loading and unloading activities occur.
4.2 INVENTORY OF EXPOSED MATERIALS
Appendix A presents an inventory of materials that are or may have been handled, stored,
processed, treated, or disposed of in a manner to allow exposure to storm water at the facility
within the three years prior to February 24th 2009. This inventory was prepared by the Technica
Manager at Premiere Fibers, Inc. who conducted an inspection of the site and related records. The
inventory includes a description of the methods and locations of on-site storage and disposal and
practices used to minimize contact of materials with rainfall and runoff.
According to Premiere Fibers, Inc. records, no significant spills have occurred at the facility within three
years prior to February 24th 2009.
4.3 NON-STORM WATER DISCHARGES
Appendix B presents certifications, signed by the Technial Manager at Premiere Fibers, Inc.,
that discharges from the facility have been tested or evaluated for the presence of non-storm water
discharges. The certifications include the results of any tests and/or evaluations (i.e. observation
of outfalls during dry weather) conducted to detect such discharges, the test method used, the
dates on which the tests and/or evaluations were performed, and the on-site drainage points
directly observed during the test and/or evaluation.

4.4 STORM WATER MONITORING DATA
At present, no data are available on the quality or quantity of storm water discharges from
the facility. However,the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural
Resources(NCDEHNR)considers Premiere Fibers, INC.to be a Manufacturing
facility,and requires visual monitoring of storm water discharges at such facilities(see Section 5.8).
4.5 POLLUTANT SOURCE IDENTIFICATION
This section is a narrative assessment of the risk potential that sources of pollution at the
facility pose to storm water quality.Specific activities,materials,and physical features at the facility
are clearly pointed to. For this assessment,loading and unloading practices,outdoor storage,
manufacturing,and processing activities,significant dust or particulate generating processes,and
on-site waste disposal practices are considered.The pollutant parameters associated with each
source are included in the assessment.
The dumpsters,storage silos,and shipping and receiving bays appear
to be the only areas where pollutants could potentially enter the storm water drainage system.
These areas were inspected.
An enclosed garbage dumpster is located on the North side of the facility. Solid waste from
manufacturing and office activities awaiting off site disposal is stored in this dumpster.These types
of waste would not be expected to leach if exposed to storm water.The risk for exposure of
pollutants to storm water from this activity is low.
Six storage silos are located on the West side of the facility.These silos store
Polyester chips,raw materials to Premiere Fibers, INC. manufacturing process.
Although the silos are closed,chips could potentially be released and exposed to
storm water during loading/unloading activities.
Materials that could potentially be exposed to storm water during loading/unloading activities
at the shipping and receiving bays are yarn,finish oils,degreasing soap, metal powder, boiler
chemicals, perch loroethylene, refrigerant oils,coil cleaners,and other maintenance and
janitorial supplies.Because these materials are shipped or received at the facility in closed
containers,the risk for exposure of pollutants to storm water from this activity is low.
Two dumpsters are located on the East side of the facility.Solid waste from manufacturing
awaiting off site disposal is stored in these dumpsters.These types of waste would not be
expected to leach if exposed to storm water.The risk for exposure of pollutants to
storm water from this activity is low.

5.0 MEASURES AND CONTROLS
This section presents an evaluation, selection, and description of pollution prevention
measures, best management practices(BMPs), and other controls which will be implemented at
the facility.
5.1 GOOD HOUSEKEEPING
All Premiere Fibers, Inc. employees will use common sense to identify ways to maintain a clean
and orderly facility and keep contaminants out of separate storm sewers. Ppemiere Fibers, Inc. has
established protocols to reduce the possibility of mishandling chemicals or equipment and trains
employees in good housekeeping techniques. These protocols are described as follows:
Operation and Maintenance
• Management will ensure that dry and clean floors and ground surfaces are maintained by
providing brooms, shovels, vacuum cleaners, or cleaning machines.
• Management will ensure that garbage and waste material are regularly picked up and
disposed of. No more than 50 empty 55-gallon metal or polyethylene drums will be located
on-site at any time.
• Management will ensure that equipment is working properly(see Section 5.2 on preventive
maintenance).
• Management will routinely inspect for leaks or conditions that could lead to discharges of
chemicals or contact of storm water with raw materials, intermediate materials,waste
materials, or products (see Section 5.3 on inspections).
• Management will ensure that spill cleanup procedures are understood by employees(see
Section 5.4 on spill prevention and response procedures).
Material Storage Practices
• Management will provide adequate aisle space to facilitate material transfer and easy
access for inspections.
• Management will ensure that containers, drums, and bags are stored away from direct
traffic routed to prevent accidental spills (see Section 5.4 on spill prevention and response
procedures).
• Management will ensure that containers are stacked according to manufacturers
instructions to avoid damage to them from improper weight distribution.
Management will ensure that containers are stored on pallets or similar devices to prevent
corrosion of the containers which can result when they come in contact with moisture on
the ground.
Premiere
Page 6

• Management will assign the responsibility of hazardous material inventory only to people
who are trained to handle hazardous materials.
Material Inventory Procedures
Premiere Fibers, Inc. will keep an up-to-date inventory of all materials (hazardous and non-
hazardous). During the inventory, the following tasks will be performed:
• Management will identify all chemical substances present in the workplace by reviewing
purchase orders.
• Management will ensure that all containers are labeled to show the name and type of
substance, expiration date, health hazards, suggestions for handling, and first aid
information. This information will be obtained from the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
maintained at the facility.
• Management will ensure that hazardous materials requiring special handling, storage, use,
and disposal considerations are clearly marked on the inventory.
Employee Participation
Premiere Fibers,lnc. will train employees in good housekeeping techniques. Employee training
will occur as follows:
• Management will incorporate information sessions on good housekeeping practices into the
facility's employee training program.
• Management will discuss good housekeeping at employee meetings.
• Management will publicize pollution prevention concepts through postings.
• Management will post bulletin boards with updated good housekeeping procedures, tips,
and reminders.
5.2 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Premiere Fibers, Inc. has developed a preventive maintenance program that involves regular
inspection and maintenance of storm water management devices and other equipment and
systems. The devices, equipment, and systems that will be inspected, the inspection and testing
schedule, and the appropriate adjustments, cleaning, repair, or replacement actions are discussed
on Table 2.

5.3 INSPECTIONS
The Pollution Prevention Team members identified in Section 2.0 will inspect the equipment
and areas of the facility as discussed in Table 2. Complete and detailed records of routine
preventive maintenance inspections and associated corrective action, repairs, or replacements will
be provided to the Pollution Prevention Team leader who will file them with other visual inspection
records.

5.4 SPILL PREVENTION AND RESPONSE PROCEDURES
Based on an assessment of possible spill scenarios, the following material handling
procedures, storage requirements, containment/diversion equipment, and spill cleanup procedures
are specified because they will minimize the potential for spills and, in the event of a spill, enable
proper and timely response.
If a leak develops or a spill occurs, the employee who discovers the discharge will contact
his/her supervisor who will in turn contact the Pollution Prevention Team leader. The Pollution
Prevention Team leader will obtain the following information:
• Location of the spill or leak, material involved, and source (valve, pipe, drum, etc.).
• The approximate amount spilled or an estimate of the discharge rate, and the direction of
discharge flow.
'sE�'s: Premiere
0��It r 1 1i e a s
Page 8 Pr.,.r..

The Pollution Prevention Team leader will dispatch facility personnel to the spill site to try
to stop the leak and contain, divert and clean up the spill.
5.5 SEDIMENT AND EROSION CONTROL
Landscaped areas at the facility have a high potential for significant soil erosion. It is the
responsibility of the Pollution Prevention Team leader to ensure that vegetation of these areas is
maintained.
5.6 MANAGEMENT OF RUNOFF
Traditional storm water management practices that divert, infiltrate, reuse, or otherwise
manage storm water runoff so as to reduce the discharge of pollutants do not appear to be
reasonable and appropriate for the facility at this time.
5.7 EMPLOYEE TRAINING PROGRAM
Employees and contractor personnel at all levels of responsibility will be informed of the
components and goals of the SWPPP. Good housekeeping, materials management, and spill
response procedures will be incorporated into the existing annual training program. Specific
training topics are as follows:
Good Housekeeping -Vacuuming and sweeping, prompt spill cleanup, locations of spill response
equipment, securing drums and containers, checking for leaks and spills, perform daily.
Materials Management Practices - Store materials neatly, identify and discuss handling of toxic and
hazardous substances.
Spill Prevention and Resnonse - Identify potential spill areas and drainage pathways, reporting
spills to maintenance supervisor, practice with spill response equipment.
5.8 STORM WATER DISCHARGE MONITORING
The NCDEHNR considers Premiere Fibers, Inc. to be a Manufacturing facility, and
requires semi-annual visual monitoring of storm water discharges at such facilities. Table 3
identifies the characteristics which must be observed at each outfall.
6.0 IMPLEMENTATION
The selected new BMPs and the training described above will be implemented by
April 1 2009.

You had sent an email requesting Premiere to provide additional information. We have
provided answers to each request in italics as follows:
• Description of chemicals stored onsite;
Answer
We have provided a list contained in Appendix A;however, we would state that
the only chemicals stored outside the building is fuel oil used to fire the boilers.
The remaining chemicals are stored inside and should not be subject to any
stormwater runoff.
• Description of industrial activity in each drainage area;
Answer
The drainage areas depicted in the May 23, 2023 NPDES permit application
(Figure 1) are in an area outside ofAnsonville that has no development other
than residential or farming so there would be no industrial activity.
• An electronic spreadsheet summarizing all of the monitoring data (visual and
analytical)that has been collected since the effective date of the current permit;
Answer
We have provided a spreadsheet of the analytical data since the effective date
of the currentpermit in AppendixB. Please realize that some of the Outfalls do
not have flow during rain events and we missed the Spring 2021 sampling
interval since our sampling technician contacted long-term Covid. We could
not make an Excel spreadsheet of the visual data, but it is included in all of our
individual submittals to NCDEQ.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) has been prepared to comply with
the provisions of 40 CFR Part 122. Its purpose is to control the discharge of pollutants in storm
water runoff from the Premiere Fibers Plant at 10056 US Highway 52 North in Ansonville
North Carolina. Premiere Fibers is engaged primarily in the conversion of Nylon and
Polyester chips into partially oriented yarn through a heating and extrusion process
This document represents the continuing effort of Premiere Fibers to insure compliance
with environmental regulations and assist all Premiere Fibers employees in the performance of
their duties.

3.0 COMPARISON WITH OTHER PLANS
Premiere Fibers, Inc. does not maintain any management plans with elements that might
overlap with the emergency response, inspection, and training portions of this SWPPP.
4.0 DESCRIPTION OF POTENTIAL POLLUTION SOURCES
In this section, activities, materials, and physical features of the facility that may contribute
significant amounts of pollutants to storm water runoff or, during periods of dry weather, result in
pollutant discharges through the separate storm sewers or storm water drainage systems that drain
the facility are described.
4.1 FACILITY SITE MAP
Figure 1 is a general location map generated from the U.S. Geological Survey's Ansonville North Carolina,
and provided by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources
showing the facility's location in relation to transportation routes and surface waters. Figure 2 presents a map
of the facility depicting storm water drainage patterns and places where significant materials are exposed to
rainfall and runoff. Figure 2 also depicts areas where loading and unloading activities occur.
4.2 INVENTORY OF EXPOSED MATERIALS
Appendix A presents an inventory of materials that are or may have been handled, stored,
processed, treated, or disposed of in a manner to allow exposure to storm water at the facility
within the three years prior to February 24th 2009. This inventory was prepared by the Technica
Manager at Premiere Fibers, Inc. who conducted an inspection of the site and related records. The
inventory includes a description of the methods and locations of on-site storage and disposal and
practices used to minimize contact of materials with rainfall and runoff.
According to Premiere Fibers, Inc. records, no significant spills have occurred at the facility within three
years prior to February 24th 2009.
4.3 NON-STORM WATER DISCHARGES
Appendix B presents certifications, signed by the Technial Manager at Premiere Fibers, Inc.,
that discharges from the facility have been tested or evaluated for the presence of non-storm water
discharges. The certifications include the results of any tests and/or evaluations (i.e. observation
of outfalls during dry weather) conducted to detect such discharges, the test method used, the
dates on which the tests and/or evaluations were performed, and the on-site drainage points
directly observed during the test and/or evaluation.

4.4 STORM WATER MONITORING DATA
At present, no data are available on the quality or quantity of storm water discharges from
the facility. However,the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural
Resources(NCDEHNR)considers Premiere Fibers, INC.to be a Manufacturing
facility,and requires visual monitoring of storm water discharges at such facilities(see Section 5.8).
4.5 POLLUTANT SOURCE IDENTIFICATION
This section is a narrative assessment of the risk potential that sources of pollution at the
facility pose to storm water quality.Specific activities,materials,and physical features at the facility
are clearly pointed to. For this assessment,loading and unloading practices,outdoor storage,
manufacturing,and processing activities,significant dust or particulate generating processes,and
on-site waste disposal practices are considered.The pollutant parameters associated with each
source are included in the assessment.
The dumpsters,storage silos,and shipping and receiving bays appear
to be the only areas where pollutants could potentially enter the storm water drainage system.
These areas were inspected.
An enclosed garbage dumpster is located on the North side of the facility. Solid waste from
manufacturing and office activities awaiting off site disposal is stored in this dumpster.These types
of waste would not be expected to leach if exposed to storm water.The risk for exposure of
pollutants to storm water from this activity is low.
Six storage silos are located on the West side of the facility.These silos store
Polyester chips,raw materials to Premiere Fibers, INC. manufacturing process.
Although the silos are closed,chips could potentially be released and exposed to
storm water during loading/unloading activities.
Materials that could potentially be exposed to storm water during loading/unloading activities
at the shipping and receiving bays are yarn,finish oils,degreasing soap, metal powder, boiler
chemicals, perch loroethylene, refrigerant oils,coil cleaners,and other maintenance and
janitorial supplies.Because these materials are shipped or received at the facility in closed
containers,the risk for exposure of pollutants to storm water from this activity is low.
Two dumpsters are located on the East side of the facility.Solid waste from manufacturing
awaiting off site disposal is stored in these dumpsters.These types of waste would not be
expected to leach if exposed to storm water.The risk for exposure of pollutants to
storm water from this activity is low.

5.0 MEASURES AND CONTROLS
This section presents an evaluation, selection, and description of pollution prevention
measures, best management practices(BMPs), and other controls which will be implemented at
the facility.
5.1 GOOD HOUSEKEEPING
All Premiere Fibers, Inc. employees will use common sense to identify ways to maintain a clean
and orderly facility and keep contaminants out of separate storm sewers. Ppemiere Fibers, Inc. has
established protocols to reduce the possibility of mishandling chemicals or equipment and trains
employees in good housekeeping techniques. These protocols are described as follows:
Operation and Maintenance
• Management will ensure that dry and clean floors and ground surfaces are maintained by
providing brooms, shovels, vacuum cleaners, or cleaning machines.
• Management will ensure that garbage and waste material are regularly picked up and
disposed of. No more than 50 empty 55-gallon metal or polyethylene drums will be located
on-site at any time.
• Management will ensure that equipment is working properly(see Section 5.2 on preventive
maintenance).
• Management will routinely inspect for leaks or conditions that could lead to discharges of
chemicals or contact of storm water with raw materials, intermediate materials,waste
materials, or products (see Section 5.3 on inspections).
• Management will ensure that spill cleanup procedures are understood by employees(see
Section 5.4 on spill prevention and response procedures).
Material Storage Practices
• Management will provide adequate aisle space to facilitate material transfer and easy
access for inspections.
• Management will ensure that containers, drums, and bags are stored away from direct
traffic routed to prevent accidental spills (see Section 5.4 on spill prevention and response
procedures).
• Management will ensure that containers are stacked according to manufacturers
instructions to avoid damage to them from improper weight distribution.
Management will ensure that containers are stored on pallets or similar devices to prevent
corrosion of the containers which can result when they come in contact with moisture on
the ground.
Premiere
Page 6

• Management will assign the responsibility of hazardous material inventory only to people
who are trained to handle hazardous materials.
Material Inventory Procedures
Premiere Fibers, Inc. will keep an up-to-date inventory of all materials (hazardous and non-
hazardous). During the inventory, the following tasks will be performed:
• Management will identify all chemical substances present in the workplace by reviewing
purchase orders.
• Management will ensure that all containers are labeled to show the name and type of
substance, expiration date, health hazards, suggestions for handling, and first aid
information. This information will be obtained from the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
maintained at the facility.
• Management will ensure that hazardous materials requiring special handling, storage, use,
and disposal considerations are clearly marked on the inventory.
Employee Participation
Premiere Fibers,lnc. will train employees in good housekeeping techniques. Employee training
will occur as follows:
• Management will incorporate information sessions on good housekeeping practices into the
facility's employee training program.
• Management will discuss good housekeeping at employee meetings.
• Management will publicize pollution prevention concepts through postings.
• Management will post bulletin boards with updated good housekeeping procedures, tips,
and reminders.
5.2 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Premiere Fibers, Inc. has developed a preventive maintenance program that involves regular
inspection and maintenance of storm water management devices and other equipment and
systems. The devices, equipment, and systems that will be inspected, the inspection and testing
schedule, and the appropriate adjustments, cleaning, repair, or replacement actions are discussed
on Table 2.
:s�'s: Premiere
Page 7 9r®�� l , B L a s
T—P,1u l Innovation

5.3 INSPECTIONS
The Pollution Prevention Team members identified in Section 2.0 will inspect the equipment
and areas of the facility as discussed in Table 2. Complete and detailed records of routine
preventive maintenance inspections and associated corrective action, repairs, or replacements will
be provided to the Pollution Prevention Team leader who will file them with other visual inspection
records.

5.4 SPILL PREVENTION AND RESPONSE PROCEDURES
Based on an assessment of possible spill scenarios, the following material handling
procedures, storage requirements, containment/diversion equipment, and spill cleanup procedures
are specified because they will minimize the potential for spills and, in the event of a spill, enable
proper and timely response.
If a leak develops or a spill occurs, the employee who discovers the discharge will contact
his/her supervisor who will in turn contact the Pollution Prevention Team leader. The Pollution
Prevention Team leader will obtain the following information:
• Location of the spill or leak, material involved, and source (valve, pipe, drum, etc.).
• The approximate amount spilled or an estimate of the discharge rate, and the direction of
discharge flow.
'sE�'s: Premiere
0��It r 1 1i e a s
Page 8 Pr.,.r..

The Pollution Prevention Team leader will dispatch facility personnel to the spill site to try
to stop the leak and contain, divert and clean up the spill.
5.5 SEDIMENT AND EROSION CONTROL
Landscaped areas at the facility have a high potential for significant soil erosion. It is the
responsibility of the Pollution Prevention Team leader to ensure that vegetation of these areas is
maintained.
5.6 MANAGEMENT OF RUNOFF
Traditional storm water management practices that divert, infiltrate, reuse, or otherwise
manage storm water runoff so as to reduce the discharge of pollutants do not appear to be
reasonable and appropriate for the facility at this time.
5.7 EMPLOYEE TRAINING PROGRAM
Employees and contractor personnel at all levels of responsibility will be informed of the
components and goals of the SWPPP. Good housekeeping, materials management, and spill
response procedures will be incorporated into the existing annual training program. Specific
training topics are as follows:
Good Housekeeping -Vacuuming and sweeping, prompt spill cleanup, locations of spill response
equipment, securing drums and containers, checking for leaks and spills, perform daily.
Materials Management Practices - Store materials neatly, identify and discuss handling of toxic and
hazardous substances.
Spill Prevention and Resnonse - Identify potential spill areas and drainage pathways, reporting
spills to maintenance supervisor, practice with spill response equipment.
5.8 STORM WATER DISCHARGE MONITORING
The NCDEHNR considers Premiere Fibers, Inc. to be a Manufacturing facility, and
requires semi-annual visual monitoring of storm water discharges at such facilities. Table 3
identifies the characteristics which must be observed at each outfall.
6.0 IMPLEMENTATION
The selected new BMPs and the training described above will be implemented by
April 1 2009.

7.0 SITE COMPLIANCE EVALUATION
Pollution Prevention Team members will perform comprehensive site inspections to (1)
confirm the accuracy of the description of potential pollution sources, (2) determine the
effectiveness of the plan, and (3)assess compliance with the terms and conditions of the permit
on a semi annual basis. This comprehensive evaluation will include:
• Inspecting the storm water drainage areas for evidence of pollutants entering the drainage
system.
• Evaluating the effectiveness of measures to reduce pollutant loadings and whether
additional measures are needed.
• Observing structural measures, sediment controls, and other storm water BMPs to ensure
proper operation.
• Inspecting any equipment needed to implement the plan, such as spill response equipment.
• Revising the plan as needed within two weeks of inspection.
• Implementing any necessary changes within twelve weeks of the inspection.
• Preparing a report summarizing inspection results and followup actions, if any. Include the
date of the inspection and the name of the person who conducted the inspection. Identify
incidents of non-compliance or certify that the facility is in compliance with plan. The report
must be signed and kept with this SWPPP.

Subject: RE: [External] Premiere Fiber NPDES Permit Application Renewal Questions- Stormwater
Permit No. NCS000528
Good morning Phil,
Please see below for responses to your questions.
Section 4.1-Provide information on the facility's pollutant sources in the table below.
Outfall Number
Impervious Surface Area(within a mile radius of the facility)
Total Surface Area Drained(within a mile radius of the facility)
How can we be expected to calculate either impervious or total area drained within a mile radius of the facility. I can
see if we are just concentrating on the property but a mile radius seems excessive
The area offsite is helpful as it informs us of the surrounding land use area,which could affect runoff onto the permitted
site.You can provide estimates for these values.
Item 7.2 and Table A.All applicants must complete Table A. If the discharge is an existing discharge and your discharge is
composed exclusively of stormwater(i.e., no process or nonprocess wastewater)then you only need to provide
monitoring data for oil and grease, total phosphorus, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, and total nitrogen.
Is this actually a requirement? I do not know if I will have a representative storm event between now and May 3 with
my 30-day extension.
Yes,this is a requirement.You may submit the application with all items except the monitoring so I can start reviewing
information.Then you would just need to submit the monitoring data as soon as possible.The draft permit cannot
proceed to public notice without all required information submitted.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Thank you,

QUALIFIERS
Project: PREMIERE FIBERS R9-21
_. Pace Project No.: 92664918
DEFINITIONS
OF-Dilution Factor,if reported,represents the factor applied to the reported data due to dilution of the sample aliquot.
NO-Not Detected at or above adjusted reporting limit.
TNTC-Too Numerous To Count
3-Estimated concentration above the adjusted method detection limit and below the adjusted reporting limit.
MDL-Adjusted Method Detection Limit.
PQL-Practical Quantitation Limit.
RL-Reporting Limit-The lowest concentration value that meets project requirements for quantitative data with known precision and
bias for a specific analyte in a specific matrix.
S-Surrogate
1,2-Diphenylhydrazine decomposes to and cannot be separated from Azobenzene using Method 8270.The result for each analyte is
a combined concentration.
Consistent with EPA guidelines,unrounded data are displayed and have been used to calculate%recovery and RPD values.
LCS(D)-Laboratory Control Sample(Duplicate)
MS(D)-Matrix Spike(Duplicate)
DUP-Sample Duplicate
RPD-Relative Percent Difference
NC-Not Calculable.
SG-Silica Gel-Clean-Up
U-Indicates the compound was analyzed for,but not detected.
Acid preservation may not be appropriate for 2 Chloroethylvinyl ether.
A separate vial preserved to a pH of 4-5 is recommended in SW846 Chapter 4 for the analysis of Acrolein and Acrylonitrile by EPA
Method 8260.
N-Nitrosodiphenylamine decomposes and cannot be separated from Diphenylamine using Method 8270. The result reported for
each analyte is a combined concentration.
Reported results are not rounded until the final step prior to reporting.Therefore,calculated parameters that are typically reported as
"Total"may vary slightly from the sum of the reported component parameters.
