Notes.

Carus Corporation
181 Woodlawn Street, Belmont, Gaston County, NC
Permit #NCS000543
Several best management practices (BMPs) are currently in place at the facility to reduce the
exposure of stormwater to industrial activities. These BMPs are as follows:
- Containers of chemicals and oils are stored inside the building on concrete floors away
from doorways.
- Roofs / canopies are located over the loading / unloading areas / loading docks.
- Tanker trucks load/unload at two loading docks / areas. Drip containment troughs are
attached to the walls at the hose connections in the eastern and southern loading areas.
- A concrete containment area (pad and bermed area with ramp) is present at the
unloading/ loading area outside the southern portion of the manufacturing building. The
containment area is sloped towards the building. A trench drain is located along the
loading docks. The drain leads to two underground concrete sumps/pits outside the
southeast corner of the building. These sumps can be used to hold a spill and/or direct
the runoff to sanitary sewer or to the onsite stormwater retention basin.
- All totes/drums are emptied and lids/bungs placed on the container before placement
outside. Containers outside the building are located on asphalt. A stormwater drain /
catch basin is located in the vicinity of the dumpsters / tote storage areas. The drain leads
to a concrete lined stormwater retention basin.
- All stormwater on the site drains to a concrete -lined stormwater retention basin.
Rainwater is allowed to evaporate in the basin. Overflow occurs from the basin when
levels reach a certain level.
- No vehicle maintenance is performed on site.
- No vehicle washing is performed in the driveways and parking areas.
- Solid waste and materials to be recycled are placed in dumpsters that are located on
concrete pads or asphalt. No oils or chemicals are placed in the dumpsters. The
dumpsters are kept closed.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION REQUIRED FOR RENEWAL OF INDIVIDUAL
NPDES STORMWATER PERMIT
Two copies of each of the following shall accompany this submittal in order for the application
to be considered complete:
Initials
(Do not submit the site Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan)
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.
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.
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.
4. 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.
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 changes in the raw materials used by the facility.
6. Certification of the development and implementation of a Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan for the permitted facility (Sign and return attached form).
If the final year analytical monitoring of the existing permit term has not been completed
prior to filing the renewal submittal, then the last years monitoring results should be submitted
within 30 days of receipt of the laboratory reports. (i.e. do not withhold renewal submittal
waiting on lab results)
