Such discharges shall be controlled, limited and monitored as specified in this permit.
If industrial materials and activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described
in 40 CFR §122.26(g), the facility may qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES
stormwater discharge permit requirements. Any owner or operator wishing to obtain a No
Exposure Exclusion must submit a No Exposure Certification Notice of Intent (NOI) form to
the Division; must receive approval by the Division; must maintain no exposure conditions
unless authorized to discharge under a valid NPDES stormwater permit; and must recertify
the No Exposure Exclusion annually.
SECTION B: PERMITTED ACTIVITIES
Until this permit expires or is modified or revoked, the permittee is authorized to discharge
stormwater to the surface waters of North Carolina or separate storm sewer system that
has been adequately treated and managed in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this permit. All stormwater'discharges shall be in accordance with the conditions of this
permit.
Any other point source discharge to surface waters of the state is prohibited unless it is an
allowable non-stormwater discharge or is covered by another permit, authorization, or
approval. The. stormwater discharges allowed by this permit shall not cause or contribute
to violations of Water Quality Standards.
This permit does not relieve the permittee from responsibility for compliance with any
other applicable federal, state, or local law; rule, standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or

PART II MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR
PERMITTED DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
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 III, 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 expected to contribute to
contamination of stormwater discharges. The Site Overview shall contain the following:
(a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle map or appropriately drafted equivalent
map), showing the facility's location in relation to transportation routes and surface
waters; the name of the receiving waters to which the stormwater outfalls
discharge, or if the discharge is to a municipal separate storm sewer system, the
name of the municipality and the ultimate receiving waters; and accurate latitude
and longitude of the points of stormwater discharge associated with industrial
activity. The general location map (or alternatively the site map) shall identify
whether any receiving waters are impaired (on the state's 303(d) list of impaired
waters) or if the site is located in a watershed for which a TMDL has been
established, and what the 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 I1 Page 1 of 15

Permit No. NCS000218
(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
of materials and processes to rainfall and run-on Flows. Wherever practical, the
permittee shall prevent exposure of all storage areas, material handling operations,
and manufacturing or fueling operations. In areas where elimination of exposure is
not practical, this review shall document the feasibility of diverting the stormwater
run-on away from areas of potential contamination.
(b) Secondary Containment Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is
required for: bulk storage of liquid materials; storage in any amount of Section 313
of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water
priority chemicals: and storage in any amount of hazardous substances, in order to
prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. A table or summary
of all such tanks and stored materials and their associated secondary containment
areas shall be maintained. If 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.
(c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management
Practices (BMPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs
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.
Part II Page 2 of 15

Permit No. NCS000218
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 runoff through spills or exposure of
materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP must be site stormwater
specific. Therefore, an oil Spill Ptrevention Control and Countermeasure plan (SPCC)
may be a component�of the SPRP, but may not be sufficient to completely address the
stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may
be incorporated by reference into the SPRP.
1 i
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative
maintenance and good housekeeping program shall be developed and implemented.
The program shall address all stormwater control systems (if applicable), stormwater
discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial
activity areas (including material storage areas, material handling areas, disposal areas,
process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads), all drainage features and
structures, and existing structural BMPs. The program shall establish schedules of
inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping activities of stormwater control systems,
as well as facility equipment, facility areas, and facility systems that present a potential
for stormwater exposure or stormwater pollution where not already addressed under
another element of the SPPP. Inspection of material handling areas and regular
cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program. Timely
compliance with the established schedules for inspections, maintenance, and
housekeeping shall be recorded and maintained in the SPPP.
5. Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur
as part of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a
minimum on a semi-annual schedule, once during the first half of the year (January to
June), and once during the second half (July to December), with at least 60 days
separating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently than semi-annually).
These facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the stormwater
discharge characteristic monitoring at the outfalls required in Part 11 B, C, and D of this
permit.
6. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill
response and cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's
operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. The facility
personnel responsible for implementing the training shall be identified, and their
annual training shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained.
7. Responsible Party. The SPPP shall identify a specific position or positions responsible
for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision of the SPPP.
Part II Page 3 of 15

Permit No. NCS000218
Responsibilities for all components of the SPPP shall be documented and position
assignments provided.
B. SPPP Amendment and Annual Update. The permittee shall amend the SPPP
whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, site drainage,
maintenance, or configuration of the physical features which may have a significant
effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of
the SPPP shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. The annual update
shall include:
(a) an updated list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous three
(3) years, or the notation that no spills.have occurred (element of the Site
Overview);
(b) a written re. -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for
the presence of non-stormwater discharges (element of the Site Overview);
(c) a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness of.the on -site stormwater
BMPs (BMPSummary element of the Stormwater Management Strategy).
(d) a review and comparison of sample analytical data to benchmark values (if
applicable) over the past year, including a discussion about Tiered Response
status. The permittee shall use the Division's Annual Summary Data
Monitoring Report (DMR) form, available from the Stormwater Permitting
Program's website (See'Monitoring Forms' here:
httpp1J/dea,nc.gov/about/ ions jenergy-mineral-]and-resourcesjenergy-
mineral-land- ep rmits jstormwater-permits jn domes-industrial-sw).
The Director may notify the permittee when the SPPP does not meet one or more of the
minimum requirements of the permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee
shall submit a time schedule to the Director for modifying the SPPP to meet minimum
requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with
Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3) to the Director that the changes
have been made.
9. SPPP Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan and all appropriate BMPs consistent with the provisions of this permit,
in order to control contaminants entering surface waters via stormwater.
Implementation of the SPPP shall include documentation of all monitoring,
measurements, inspections, maintenance activities, and training provided to
employees, including the log of the sampling data and of actions taken to implement
BMPs associated with the industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance activities.
Such documentation shall be kept on -site for a period of five (5) years and made
available to the Director or the Director's authorized representative immediately upon
request.
Part II Page 4 of 15

Permit No. NCS000218
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
Dermittee obtains approval from the local DEMLR Regional Engineer. See Definitions

Footnotes:
1 Measurement Frequency: Twice per year (unless other provisions of this permit prompt monthly
sampling) during a measureable storm event, until either another permit is issued for this facility or until
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
outfalis 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 each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless
representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the Division's letter granting 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
sample dates, unless monthly monitoring has been instituted under a "Tier Two"
response. Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented
Part ll Page 5 of 15

Permit No. NCS000218
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.

Footnotes:
1 Maintain semi-annual monitoring until either another permit is issued for this facility or until this
permit is revoked or rescinded. The permittee must submit an application for renewal of coverage
before the submittal deadline (180 days before expiration) to be considered for renewed coverage
under the permit. The permittee must continue analytical monitoring throughout the permit
renewal process, even if a renewal permit is not issued until after expiration of this permit.
2 If no discharge occurs during the 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.

The benchmark values in Table 3 are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for
implementation of the permittee's SPPP. An exceedance of a stormwater benchmark value
is not a permit violation; however, failure to respond to the exceedance as outlined in this
permit is a violation of permit conditions.
Tier One m-
If: The first valid sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any
parameter at any outfall;
Then: The permittee shall:
1. Conduct a stormwater management inspection of the facility within two weeks of receiving sampling
results.
2. Identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedance.
3. Identify potential, and select the specific feasible: source controls, operational controls, or physical
improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern, and/or to bring concentrations
within the benchmark range.
4. Implement the selected feasible actions within two months of the inspection.
5. Record each instance of a Tier One response in the SPPP. Include the date and value of the benchmark
exceedence, the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the selected actions, and the
date the selected actions were implemented.
6. Note: Benchmark exceedances for a different parameter separately trigger a tiered response.
Tier Two
If. The first valid sampling results from two consecutive monitoring periods (omitting periods with no
discharge) are above the benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at
a specific discharge outfall;
Then: The permittee shall:
1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier One.
2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring and reporting for all parameters. The permittee"shall conduct
monthly monitoring at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two
consecutive samples. Monthly (analytical and qualitative) monitoring shall continue until three
consecutive sample results are below the benchmark values or within benchmark range.
3. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee is required to submit a monthly
monitoring report indicating "No Flow" to comply with reporting requirements.
4. 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.
5. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the SPPP.
6. Continue Tier Two response obligations throughout the permit renewal process.

Permit No. NCS000218
Tier Three
If The valid sampling results required for the permit monitoring periods exceed the benchmark value, or
are outside the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at any specific outfall on four occasions, the
permittee shall notify the DEM LR Regional Engineer in writing within 30 days of receipt of the fourth
analytical results;
Then: The Division may but is not limited to:
• require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring and reporting frequency for
some or all of the parameters herein;
• require sampling of additional or substitute parameters;
• 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;
• require the permittee to continue Tier Three obligations through the permit renewal process,
This site discharges to impaired waters experiencing problems with biological integrity. If
a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is approved for this segment of Town Creek, 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.

Permit No. NCS000218
SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and identify new potential sources of stormwater
pollution. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls must be performed during a
measurable storm event.
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of
representative outfall status. Qualitative monitoring shall be performed semi-annually as
specified in Table 4, and during required analytical monitoring events (unless the permittee
is required to perform further qualitative monitoring per the Qualitative Monitoring
Response, below). Inability to monitor because of adverse weather conditions must be
documented in the SPPP and recorded on the Qualitative Monitoring Report form (see
Adverse .Weather in Definitions). Only 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.

process until a new permit is issued.
2 Monitoring Location: Qualitative monitoring shall be performed at each stormwater discharge outfall
(SDO) regardless of representative outfall status.
Part 11 Page 9 of 15

Permit No. NCS000218
A minimum of 60 days must separate monitoring dates, unless additional sampling has
been instituted as part of other analytical monitoring requirements in this permit.
If the permittee's qualitative monitoring indicates that existing stormwater BMPs are
ineffective, or that significant stormwater contamination is present, the permittee shall
investigate potential causes, evaluate the feasibility of corrective actions, and implement
those corrective actions within 60 days, per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below.
A written record of the permittee's investigation, evaluation, and response actions shall be
kept in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention flan.
ualitative 1Vlonitvr�n :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 activity occurring on -site which uses more
than 55 gallons of new motor oil per month when averaged over the calendar year
shall perform analytical monitoring as specified below in Table 5. All analytical
monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at all stormwater
discharge outfalls (SDOs) that discharge stormwater runoff from vehicle maintenance areas,
and in accordance with the schedule presented in Table 2 (Section B).

Footnotes:
1 Measurement Frequency: Twice per year during a measureable storm event (unless other provisions of
the permit prompt monthly sampling), until either another permit is issued for this facility or until this
permit is revoked or rescinded. See Table 2 for schedule of monitoring periods through the end of this
permitting cycle. 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 Titer 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 be begun within
the first 30 minutes, and shall continue until completed.
3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) that discharges
stormwater runoff from area(s) where vehicle maintenance activities occur, unless representative outfall
status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the letter granting 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 may
be substituted for an on -site reading.
Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring
monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period, as provided in Part II
Section B.
Monitoring results shall be compared to the benchmark values in Table 6. The benchmark
values in Table 6 are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for the permittee's
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). Exceedances of benchmark values require
the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record
keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs), as provided in Part
11 Section B.

The Salisbury facility consists mainly of a wood treating plant and various woodworking operations. The wood treating plant is a closed
loop system which prevents discharge of process waters, provides containment to the treating chemicals and short term storage
(minimum 12 hours) for freshly treated lumber; all these items help minimize contact with stormwater. Other woodworking operations
occur Indoors. Housekeeping and preventative maintenance are in place to help minimize the effects of the fadlity's industrial activities
on stormwater runoff. In addition, there is a large retention pond which retains stormwater from the facility prior to discharge off the
roe
There have not been any significant changes to the operations at the Salisbury facility. In early MM, the treating preservative converted
from micronized copper quat to micronized copper azole, however, this would not have a significant effect on the-stormwater discharges.

Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit
Permit No. NCS000218
UFP Salisbury
Rowan County
Dear Mr. Mark:
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. Please
review the draft carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and
requirements it contains.
The draft permit contains the following significant changes from the facility's current permit:
1. You are required to collect analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during
"measurable storm events" as defined in Part 11, Section B. This term is different
from the "representative storm event" in earlier permits.
2. Requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Plan (SPPP) have been updated in Part 11,
Section A.
3. Changes have been made to several monitoring parameters, including a change to two
benchmarks. Stormwater benchmarks are not permit limits, but rather guidelines for
implementing the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). A benchmark
exceedance is not a permit violation; however, the permittee must respond to
exceedances as directed in the Tiers.
• The benchmark for the following parameter has been revised to reflect current
water quality standards: Copper benchmark is increased from .007 mg/L to
.010 mg/L;
• Vehicle maintenance (Tables 5,6) monitoring parameters have been revised
as follows:
o Non -Polar Oil & Grease [EPA Method 1664 (SGT-IIEM)j replaces
Oil & Grease/`I"PH. The benchmark for Non -polar Oil & Grease
Stale of North Carolina I Cmuonmental Quality I &xrgy, Mineral and [.and Resources
1612 Mail Service Center E 512 North Salisbury Street i Raleigh, NC 27699-1612
919 707 9200 T

using this method is 15 mg/L. This requirement appears in all
individual stormwater permits; however, it only applies to facilities
that perform onsite vehicle maintenance activities. If the facility
begins vehicle maintenance during the permit cycle, the
requirements shall apply.
o pH monitoring is no longer required for discharges only associated
with vehicle maintenance activities.
4. Tiered responses have been added to this permit. 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 in accordance with Part 11, Section B of this permit.
5. A new section on Special Conditions has been added in Part II, Section E to comply
with federal regulations requiring electronic submittal of discharge, monitoring
reports. .
6. Civil and administrative penalty amounts have been updated to reflect current
federal law in Part III, Section A, 2(b) and (g).
Please, review the draft permit and submit any comments to me no later than 30 days
following your receipt of the draft. Comments may be emailed tome at
julie.ventalornnncdenr.gov or mailed to my attention atNC DEMLR, Stormwater
Permitting Program, 1612 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1612. If you have any

PERMITTED DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
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 I11, Standard
Conditions, Section E, paragraph 3 of this permit. The SPPP shall include, at a minimum,
the following items:
a
1. Site Overview. The Site Overview shall provide a description of the physical facility
and the potential pollutant sources that may befexpe'cted;to contribute to
contamination of stormwater discharges. The Site Overview shall contain the following:
a A general location ma USGS uadran le;m`a`"''or a ro riatel drafted equivalent
{) g P( q g P:���,pp p y q
map), showing the facility's location in relation to transportation routes and surface
waters; the name of the receiving waters to"•,which the stormwater outfalls
discharge, or if the discharge is to a"municipal separate storm sewer system, the
name of the municipality. and the: ultimate receiving waters; and accurate latitude
and longitude of the points,of stormwater discharge associated with industrial
activity. The general location,map [or alternatively the site map) shall identify
whether any receiving waters are impaired (on the state's 303(d) list of impaired
waters) or if the site is'located)in'a watershed for which a TMDL has been
established, and what the 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. NCS000218
(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 111, 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
of materials and processes to rainfall and run on-flows,,Wherever practical, the
"..� A:r N;, .F
permittee shall prevent exposure of all storage areas, rriaterial handling operations,
and manufacturing or fueling operations. In,areas where elimination of exposure is
not practical, this review shall document,the feasibility of diverting the stormwater
run-on away from areas of potential contamination.
(b) Secondary Containment Requiremertsaand Records. Secondary containment is
required for: bulk storage of liquid materials; storage in any amount of Section 313
of Title III of the SuperfuneAmendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water
priority chemicals: and storage,in any amount of hazardous substances. in order to
prevent leaks and spills from` contaminating stormwater runoff. A table or summary
of all such tanks an& tored materials and their associated secondary containment
areas shall be maintained. f 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 now, 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.
(c) BMP Summary. A -listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management
Practices (BMPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs
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.
Part 11 Page 2 of 15

Permit No. NCS000218
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 runoff through spills or exposure of
materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP must be site stormwater
specific. Therefore, an oil Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure plan (SPCC)
may be a component of the SPRP, but may not be sufficient to completely address the
stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may
be incorporated by reference into the SPRP.
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping.Program. A preventative
maintenance and good housekeeping program s'halI be developed and implemented.
The program shall address all stormwater control systems (if applicable), stormwater
discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial
activity areas (including material storage,areas, matehal handling areas, disposal areas,
process areas, loading and unloading areas,ypand)haul roads), all drainage features and
structures, and existing structural BMPs. ,The program shall establish schedules of
inspections, maintenance, and housekeepii_ng activities of stormwater control systems,
as well as facility equipment; facility;areas, and facility systems that present a potential
for stormwater exposure or.stormwater'pollution where not already, addressed under
another element of the SPP. lnspection of material handling areas and regular
cleaning schedules of these areas'shall be incorporated into the program. Timely
compliance with the established schedules for inspections, maintenance, and
housekeeping shall be recorded and maintained in the SPPP.
5. Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur
as part of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a
minimum on a semi-annual schedule, once during the first half of the year (January to
June), and once during the second half (July to December), with at least 60 days
separating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently than semi-annually).
These facility inspections are'different from,'and in addition to, the stormwater
discharge characteristic monitoring at the outfalls required in Part lI B, C, and D of this
permit.
6. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill
response and cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's
operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. The facility
personnel responsible for implementing the training shall be identified, and their
annual training shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained.
7. Responsible Party. The SPPP shall identify a specific position or positions responsible
for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision of the SPPP.
Part 11 Page 3 of 15

Permit No. NCS000218
Responsibilities for all components of the SPPP shall be documented and position
assignments provided.
B. SPPP Amendment and Annual Update. The permittee shall amend the SPPP
whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, site drainage,
maintenance, or configuration of the physical features which may have a significant
effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of
the SPPP shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. The annual update
shall include:

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 each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless
representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the Division's letter granting 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
Part 11 Page 5 of 15

Permit No. NCS000218
(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
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 111, 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.

1 ' Maintain semi-annual monitoring until.6ither another permit is issued for this facility or until this
permit is revoked or rescinded. The'permittee must submit an application for renewal of coverage
before the submittal deadline (1136fdays before expiration) to be considered for renewed coverage
under the permit. The permitteemust continue analytical monitoring throughout the permit
renewal process, even if a renewal permit is not issued until after expiration of this permit.
2 If no discharge occurs during the 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.

is not a permit violation; however, failure to respond to the exceedance as outlined in this
permit is a violation of permit conditions.
N
„ Tier,Urie
If: The first valid sampling results'are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark Lrange, for any
parameter at any outfall;-
Then: The permittee shall: M
1. Conduct a stormwater management inspection of the facility within two weeks of receiving sampling
results.
2. Identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedance.
3. Identify potential, and select the specific feasible: source controls, operational controls, or physical
improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern, and/or to bring concentrations
within the benchmark range.
4. Implement the selected feasible actions within two months of the inspection.
S. Record each instance of a Tier One response in the SPPP. Include the date and value of the benchmark
exceedence, the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the selected actions, and the
date the selected actions were implemented.
6. Note: Benchmark exceedances for a different parameter separately trigger a tiered response.
Tier Two
If: The first valid sampling results from two consecutive monitoring periods (omitting periods with no
discharge) are above the benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at
a specific discharge outfall;
Part II Page 7 of 15

Permit No. NCS000218
Then: The permittee shall:
1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier One.
2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring and reporting for all parameters. The permittee shall conduct
monthly monitoring at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two
consecutive samples. Monthly (analytical and qualitative) monitoring shall continue until three
consecutive sample results are below the benchmark values or within benchmark range.
3. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee isrequired to submit a monthly
monitoring report indicating "No Flow" to comply with reporting requirements.
4. 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.
S. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the SPPP.
6. Continue Tier Two response obligations throughout the permit,renewal process.
Tier Three
If: The valid sampling results required for the permit monitoring periods exceed the benchmark value, or
are outside the benchmark range, for any specific parameter' At, any specific outfall on four occasions, the
permittee shall notify the DEMLR Regional Engineer in writing within 30 days of receipt of the fourth
analytical results;
Then: The Division may but is not limited to:
• require that the permittee revise, increase; onde re se the monitoring and reporting frequency for
some or all of the parameters herein;,-:� 1 4,
• require sampling of additional or -substitute parameters;
• require the permittee to ins tall'structural'lstormwater 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;
• require the permittee to contin a Tier Three obligations through the permit renewal process.
This site discharges to impaired waters experiencing problems with biological integrity. If
a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is approved for this segment of Town Creek, 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 REQUIREMENTS
The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and identify new potential sources of stormwater
pollution. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls must be performed during a
measurable storm event.
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of
representative outfall status. Qualitative monitoring shall be performed semi-annually as
specified in Table 4, and during required analytical monitoring events (unless the permittee
is required to perform further qualitative monitoring per the Qualitative Monitoring
Response, below). Inability to monitor because of adverse weather conditions must be
documented in the SPPP and recorded on the Qualitative Monitoring Report form (see
Adverse Weather in Definitions). Only SDOs discharging starmwater associated with
industrial activity must be monitored (See Definitions).«," ,o,'�'',..,,
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 � in-tained-with the SPPP.

Permit No. NCS000218
A minimum of 60 days must separate monitoring dates, unless additional sampling has
been instituted as part of other analytical monitoring requirements in this permit.
If the permittee's qualitative monitoring indicates that existing stormwater BMPs are
ineffective, or that significant stormwater contamination is present, the permittee shall
investigate potential causes, evaluate the feasibility of corrective actions, and implement
those corrective actions within 60 days, per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below.
A written record of the permittee's investigation, evaluation, and response actions shall be
kept in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
Qualitative Monitoring' Response _
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 rta;<,t rrect 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) r/
• require the permittee to,install `structdraI st rmwater 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 activity occurring on -site which uses more
than 55 gallons of new motor oil per month when averaged over the calendar year
shall perform analytical monitoring as specified below in Table 5. All analytical
monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at all stormwater
discharge outfalls (SDOs) that discharge stormwater runoff from vehicle maintenance areas,

PART I INTRODUCTION
SECTION A: GENERAL PERMIT COVERAGE
All persons desiring to have facilities covered by this General Permit must register with the Division
of Water Quality (DWQ) by the Filing of a Notice of Intent (NOI) and applicable fees. The N01 shall be
submitted and a certificate of coverage issued prior to any point source discharge of stormwater
associated with industrial activity to the surface waters of the state.
Any owner or operator not wishing to be covered or limited by this General Permit may make
application for an individual NPDES permit in accordance with NPDES procedures in 15A NCAC 2H
.0100, stating the reasons supporting the request. Any application for an individual permit should
be made at least 180 days prior to commencement of discharge.
This General Permit does not cover activities or discharges covered by an individual NPDES permit
until the individual permit has expired or has been revoked. Any person conducting an activity
covered by an individual permit but which could be covered by this General Permit may request
that the individual permit be revoked and coverage under this General Permit be provided.
If industrial materials and activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described in 40
CFR §122.26(g), the facility may qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES stormwater
discharge permit requirements. Any owner or operator wishing to obtain a No Exposure Exclusion
must submit a No Exposure Certification Notice of Intent (NOI) form to the Division; must receive
approval by the Division; must maintain no exposure conditions unless authorized to discharge
under a valid NPDES stormwater permit; and must recertify the No Exposure Exclusion annually.
Any facility may apply for new or continued coverage under this permit until a Total Maximum
Daily Load (TMDL) for pollutants for stormwater is established. ATM DL sets a pollutant -loading
limit that affects a watershed, or portion of a watershed, draining to a specific impaired water. For
discharges to watersheds affected by a TMDL, coverage under this permit may depend on the
facility demonstrating it does not have reasonable potential to violate applicable water
quality standards for those pollutants as a result of discharges. If DWQ determines that
discharges have reasonable potential to cause water quality standard violations, the facility shall
apply for an individual permit 180 days prior to the expiration date of this General Permit. Once
that individual permit is effective, the facility will no longer have coverage under this General
Permit. Note that the permittee must identify impaired waters (scheduled for TMDL development)
and waters already subject to a TMDL in the Site Overview, as outlined in the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan, Part I1, Section A. A list of approved TMDLs for the state of North Carolina can be
found at httR;//nortal.ncdenr.orgf web/wa /nsl mtu jtmdl.
Part I Page 1 of 2

Permit No. NCG210000
SECTION B: PERMITTED ACTIVITIES
Until this permit expires or is modified or revoked, the permittee is authorized to discharge
stormwater to the surface waters of North Carolina, or separate storm sewer system, which has
been treated and managed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this General Permit.
Any other point source discharge to surface -waters of the state is prohibited unless it is an
allowable non4tormwater discharge or is covered by another permit, authorization, or approval.
The discharges allowed by this General Permit shall not cause or contribute to violations of
Water Quality Standards. This General Permit does not authorize discharges which have been
determined by the Division of Water Quality to be wastewater discharges.
This permit does not relieve the permittee from responsibility for compliance with any other
applicable federal, state, or local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or decree.

PART II MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR PERMITTED
DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
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 11I, 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 expected to contribute to contamination of stormwater
discharges. The Site Overview shall contain the following:
(a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle map or appropriately drafted equivalent map),
showing the facility's location in relation to transportation routes and surface waters; the
name of the receiving waters to which the stormwater outfalls discharge, or if the discharge
is to a municipal separate storm sewer system, the name of the municipality and the
ultimate receiving waters; and accurate latitude and longitude of the points of stormwater
discharge associated with industrial activity. The general location map (or alternatively the
site map) shall identify whether any receiving waters are impaired (on the state's 303(d)
list of impaired waters) or if the site is located in a watershed for which a TMDL has been
established, and what the 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 (13MPs); 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.
(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 5.
Part II Page] of 10

Permit No. NCG210000
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 of
materials and processes to rainfall and run-on flows. Wherever practical, the permittee
shall prevent exposure of all storage areas, material handling operations, and manufacturing
or fueling operations. In areas where elimination of exposure is not practical, this review
shall document the feasibility of diverting the stormwater run-on away from areas of
potential contamination.
(b) Secondary Containment Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is required
for: bulk storage of Ii uid materials including petroleum products; storage in any amount of
Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water
priority chemicals; and storage in any amount of hazardous substancesin order to prevent
leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. A table or summary of all such
tanks and stored materials and their associated secondary containment areas shall be
maintained. If 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.
(c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management Practices
(BMPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs 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 procedures. A responsible person shall be on -site
at all times during facility operations that have increased potential to contaminate stormwater
runoff through spills or exposure of materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP
must be site stormwater specific. Therefore, an oil Spill Prevention Control and
Countermeasure plan (SPCC) may be a component of the SPRP, but may not be sufficient to
completely address the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common elements of the SPCC
with the SPRP may be incorporated by reference into the SPRP.

4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance
and good housekeeping program shall be developed and implemented. The program shall
address all stormwater control systems (if applicable), stormwater discharge outfalls, all on -site
and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial activity areas (including material storage
areas, material handling areas, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and
haul roads), all drainage features and structures, and existing structural BMPs. The program
shall establish schedules of inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping activities of
stormwater control systems, as well as facility equipment, facility areas, and facility systems
that present a potential for stormwater exposure or stormwater pollution where not already
addressed under another element of the SPPP. Inspection of material handling areas and
regular cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program. Timely
compliance with the established schedules for inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping
shall be recorded and maintained in the SPPP.
5. Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur as part
of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a minimum on a semi-
annual schedule, once during the first half of the year (January to June), and once during the
second half (July to December), with at least 60 days separating inspection dates (unless
performed more frequently than semi-annually). These facility inspections are different from,
and in addition to, the stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring at the outfalls required
in Part 11 B, C, and D of this permit.
6. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill response and
cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's operations that have
the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. The annual training shall be documented by
the signature and printed or typed name of each employee trained.
7. Responsible Party. The SPPP shall identify a specific position or positions responsible for the
overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision of the SPPP. Responsibilities
for all components of the SPPP shall be documented and position assignments provided.
8. SPPP Amendment and Annual Update. All aspects of the SPPP shall be reviewed on an annual
basis. The permittee shall amend the SPPP whenever there is a change in design, construction,
operation, site drainage, maintenance, or configuration of the physical features which may have
a significant effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. The annual
update shall include at a minimum:
(a) an updated list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous three (3)
years, or the notation that no spills have occurred (element of the Site Overview);
(b) a written re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the
presence of non-stormwater discharges (element of the Site Overview);
(c) a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the on -site stormwater BMPs (BMP
Summary element of the Stormwater Management Strategy).
(d) a review and comparison of sample analytical data to benchmark values (if applicable)
over the past year, including a discussion about Tiered Response status. The
permittee shall use the Division's Annual Summary Data Monitoring Report (DMR)
form, available from the Stormwater Permitting Unit's website (See 'Monitoring
Forms'here: htt•l/nortal.ncdenr.orgfwebjir/npdes-stormwater).

The Director may notify the permittee when the SPPP does not meet one or more of the
minimum requirements of the permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee shall submit
a time schedule to the Director for modifying the SPPP to meet minimum requirements. The
permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with Part III, Standard
Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 5) to the Director that the changes have been made.
9. SPPP Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plan and all appropriate BMPs consistent with the provisions of this permit, in order to control
contaminants entering surface waters via stormwater. Implementation of the SPPP shall
include documentation of all monitoring, measurements, inspections, maintenance activities,
and training provided to employees, including the log of the sampling data and of actions taken
to implement BMPs associated with the industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance
activities. Such documentation shall be kept on -site for a period of five (5) years and made
available to the Director or the Director's authorized representative immediately upon request.
SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
A facility that retains exposed accumulations (either exposed to incident precipitation or exposed
to stormwater run on) of sawdust, wood chips, bark, mulch, or other similarly sized material on site
for more than seven (7) days is required to monitor and report all the site stormwater discharges
for the parameters in Table 1.
The permittee may petition the DWQ Regional Office Surface Water Protection Supervisor to he excused from
the required monitoring;
a) upon a DWQ Compliance Evaluation Inspection, and;
b) on the basis that DWQ concludes that taken as a whole, site -wide conditions support the
assessment of very limited risk of stormwater pollution from the site.
c) Among any other factors deemed relevant in his or her own considerations, the Regional Office
Supervisor shall consider whether the amount of accumulated exposed materials may be deemed
de minimis with respect to the potential to generate stormwater runoff pollutants. Given that all site
conditions may be relevant to the determination of what constitutes a de minimis amount, such
determinations shall be made on a'case-by-case basis', and shall not be assumed to be generally, or
specifically, transferrable to any other permitted site, regardless of superficial similarities.
d) The Regional Office Supervisor will communicate any such determination in writing, and shall state
any qualifying conditions for the permittee's continuing release from monitoring. DWQ's release
letter may remain in effect through subsequent reissued versions of this permit, unless the release
letter provides for other conditions or duration.
e) if released from monitoring, the permittee must still continue to submit semi-annual Discharge
Monitoring Reports, with the notation: "Released from Monitoring by DWQ Regional Office."
If at any time there are changes to DWQ's initial site assessment, or to the initial site operating
circumstances, the permittee must immediately begin analytical monitoring and reporting in accordance
with Tables 1 and 2, and must immediately inform the DWQ Regional Office that analytical monitoring has
been instituted.

during a measureable storm event, until either another permit is issued for this facility or until this permit is
revoked or rescinded. See Table 2 for schedule of monitoring periods through the end of this permitting cycle. If
the facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or Three response actions under the previous General
Permit, the facility should continue a monthly monitoring and reporting schedule.
2 Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge.
3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless representative
outfall status (ROS) has been granted, A copy of the DWQ letter granting ROS shall be kept on site.
4 For each sampled measureable storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded, An on -site rain gauge
reading must be recorded. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain gauge
reading may be substituted for an on -site reading.
All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at aac
stormwater discharge outfall (SDO).
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 DWQ Regional Office, See Definitions.
A minimum of 60 days must separate Period I and Period 2 sample dates unless monthly
monitoring has been instituted under other requirements of this permit.
The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified in
Table 2, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection (see Adverse Weather in
Definitions). Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the
SPPP and recorded on the DMR. Sampling is not required outside of the facility's normal operating
hours.
Failure to monitor and report semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring
monthly monitoring and reporting for all parameters for a specified time period, "No discharge"
from an outfall or inability to collect a sample because of adverse weather conditions during a
monitoring period, for example, does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is properly
reported.

1 Maintain semi-annual monitoring and reporting during permit renewal process unless other
provisions of this permit prompt monthly sampling.
2 If no discharge occurs during the 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.
The permittee must report the results from each sample taken within the monitoring period (See Part
HIE). 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.
The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3. The benchmark
values in Table 3 are not permit limits, but should be used as guidelines for implementation of the
permittee's SPPP. Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring and
reporting, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best
Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. See 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, DWQ's release letter may remain in
effect through subsequent reissuance of this permit, unless the release letter provides for other
conditions or duration.

Tier One
If. The first valid sampling results are above a benchmark value for any parameter at any outfall;
Then: The permittee shall:
1. Conduct a stormwater management inspection of the facility within two weeks of receiving
sampling results.
2. Identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedence.
3. Identify potential and select theispecific: source controls, operational controls, or physical
improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern.
4. Implement the selected actions within two months of the inspection.
S. Record each instance of a Tier One response in the SPPP. Include the date and value of the benchmark
exceedence, the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the selected actions, and the
date the selected actions were implemented..
6. Note: Benchmark exceedances for a different parameter separately trigger the several tiered response
requirements.
Tier Two
If: The first valid sampling results from two consecutive monitoring periods are'above the benchmark values
for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall;
Then: The permittee shall:
1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier One.
2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring and reporting for all parameters at every outfall where a
sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples. Monthly (analytical and
qualitative) monitoring and reporting shall continue until three consecutive sample results are below
the benchmark values.
3. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee is required to submit a monthly
monitoring report indicating "No Flow" to comply with reporting requirements.
4. Alternatively, in lieu of steps 2 and 3, the permittee may, after two consecutive exceedances, exercise
the option of contacting the DWQ Regional Office Supervisor as provided below in Tier Three. The
Regional Office Supervisor may direct the response actions on the part of the permittee as provided in
Tier Three, including reduced or additional sampling parameters or frequency.
S. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the SPPP.
6. - Continue Tier Two response obligations throughout the permit COC renewal process.
Tier Three
If the valid sampling results required for the permit monitoring periods exceed the benchmark value for
any specific parameter at any specific outfall on four occasions, the permittee shall notify the DWQ
Regional Office Supervisor in writing within 30 days of receipt of the fourth analytical results. DWQ
may but is not limited to:
• require the permittee to revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring and reporting frequency for
some or all parameters required herein, including requiring sampling of additional or substitute
parameters;
• rescind coverage under the General Permit, and require that the permittee apply for an
individual stormwater discharge permit;
• 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;
• require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion; or
• require the permittee to continue Tier Three obligations through the permit COC renewal process,
and possibly into the next permit cycle.

Permit No. NCG210000
SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
All facilities covered by this permit must perform Qualitative Monitoring. The purpose of
qualitative monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of the SPPP and to assess new sources of
stormwater pollution. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls must be performed during a
measurable storm event.
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall associated with
industrial activity regardless of representative outfall status. Qualitative monitoring shall be
performed semi-annually as specified in Table 4, and during required analytical monitoring events if
applicable (unless the permittee is required to perform further qualitative sampling per the
Qualitative Monitoring Response below). Inability to sample because of adverse weather
conditions must be documented in the SPPP and recorded on the DMR (see Adverse Weather in
Definitions). Only 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.

2 Monitoring Location: Qualitative monitoring shall be performed at each stormwater discharge outfall
(SDO) associated with industrial activity, regardless of representative outfall status (ROS).
A minimum of 60 days must separate monitoring dates, unless additional sampling has been
instituted as part of other analytical monitoring requirements in this permit.
If the permittee's qualitative monitoring indicates that existing stormwater BMPs are ineffective, or that
significant stormwater contamination is present, the permittee shall investigate potential causes, evaluate
the feasibility of corrective actions, and implement those corrective actions within 60 days, per the
Part II Page 8 of 10

Permit No. NCG210000
Qualitative Monitoring Response, below. A written record of the permittee's investigation, evaluation,
and response actions shall be kept in the SPPP.
Qualitative.Monitorhig Response. „
Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluating SPPP effectiveness, assessing new 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, DWQ may but is not
limited to:
• require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease 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 activity occurring on -site which uses more than 55
gallons of new motor oil and hydraulic oil per month, combined, when averaged over the
calendar year shall perform analytical monitoring as specified below in Table S. All analytical
monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at all stormwater discharge
outfalls (SDOs) that discharge stormwater runoff from vehicle maintenance areas.

monitoring and reporting schedule.
2 Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge.
Part 11 Page 9 of 10

Permit No. NCG210000
Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) that discharges
stormwater runoff from area(s) where vehicle maintenance activities occur, unless representative outfall
status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the letter granting ROS shall be kept on site.
For each sampled measureable storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain
gauge reading must be recorded. 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 in
Table 2, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection (see Adverse Weather in
Definitions). Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the
SPPP and recorded on the DMR, Sampling is not required outside of the facility's normal operating
hours.
Failure to monitor and report 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
or inability to collect a sample because of adverse weather conditions during a monitoring period,
for example, does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is properly reported.
The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 6. 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
descriptions of Tier One, Tier Two, and Tier Three response actions in Part 11 Section B above. In the
event that the Division releases the permittee from continued monthly monitoring under Tier Two or
Tier Three, DWQ's release letter may remain in effect through subsequent reissuance of this permit,
unless the release letter provides for other conditions or duration.
The permittee must report the results from each sample taken within the monitoring period (See Part
III 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.

Permit No. NCS00021 S
UFP Salisbury
Rowan County
Dear Mr. Mark:
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. Please
review the draft carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and
requirements it contains.
The draft permit contains the following significant changes from the facility's current permit:
1. You are required to collect analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during
"measurable storm events" as defined in Part II, Section B. This term is different
from the "representative storm event" in earlier permits.
2. Requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Plan (SPPP) have been updated in Part II,
Section A.
3. Changes have been made to several monitoring parameters, including a change to two
benchmarks. Stormwater benchmarks are not permit limits, but rather guidelines for
implementing the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). A benchmark
exceedance is not a permit violation; however, the permittee must respond to
exceedances as directed in the Tiers.
The benchmark for the following parameter has been revised to reflect current
water quality standards: Copper benchmark is increased from .007 mg/L to
.010 mg/L;
• Vehicle maintenance (Tables 5,6) monitoring parameters have been revised
as follows:
o Non -Polar Oil & Grease [EPA Method 1664 (SGT-HEM)] replaces
Oil & Grease/TPH. The benchmark for Non -polar Oil & Grease
State of North Carolina I Environmental Quality I Energy, Mineral and Land Resources
1612 Mail Service Center 1 512 North Salisbury Street I Raleigh, NC 27699.1612
919 707 9200 T

using this method is 15 mg1L. This requirement appears in all
individual stormwater permits; however, it only applies to facilities
that perform onsite vehicle maintenance activities. If the facility
begins vehicle maintenance during the permit cycle, the
requirements shall apply.
o pH monitoring is no longer required for discharges only associated
with vehicle maintenance activities.
4. Tiered responses have been added to this permit. 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 in accordance with Part II, Section B of this permit.
5. A new section on Special Conditions has been added in Part II, Section E to comply
with federal regulations requiring electronic submittal of discharge monitoring
reports. .
6. Civil and administrative penalty amounts have been updated to reflect current
federal law in Part III, Section A, 2(b) and (g).
Please review the draft permit and submit any comments to me no later than 30 days
following your receipt of the draft. Comments may be emailed to me at
iulie.ventaloro(Z�ncdenr.gov or mailed to my attention at NC DEMLR, Stormwater
Permitting Program, 1612 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1612. If you have any
questions, please email me or call me at [phone].

RE: Supplemental Information Required for Renewal of Individual NPDES Stormwater Permit
UFP Salisbury, LLC, Salisbury, NC
Permit Number: NCS000218
Dear Mr. Lowther:
On January 2, 2012 a renewal application for the above referenced facility was submitted. You
contacted me on January 12, 2012 and informed me that additional information is required and
provided the enclosed Supplemental Information checklist.
Enclosed please find the information required by the checklist. Please note that at the end of 2008
there was a change in personnel and the new person mistakenly conducted sampling at the wrong
location — not at the outfall. This has been corrected and the proper location documented in the
SWPPP.
Please do not hesitate to contact me at 616/365-1522 or [e-mail] with any questions.
Best regards, .

The Salisbury facility consists mainly of a wood treating plant and various woodworking operations. The wood treating plant is a closed
loop system which prevents discharge of process waters, provides containment to the treating chemicals and short term storage
(minimum 12 hours) for freshly treated lumber, all these Items help minimize contact with stormwater. Other woodworking operations
occur Indoors. Housekeeping and preventative maintenance are in place to help minimize the effects of the facility's industrial activities
on stormwater runoff. In addition, there Is a large retention pond which retains stormwater from the facility prior to discharge off the

There have not been any significant changes to the operations at the Salisbury facility. In early 2009, the treating preservative converted
from micronized copper quat to micronized copper azole, however, this would not have a significant effect on the•stormwater discharges.

Rob,
I received this from Heath. I have inspected them many times in the past. Complaint does not
make much sense because they recycle and reuse their treatment chemicals and only dispose of
solids / debris from their pad as haz-waste. I will add them to my list to check out but was
not sure if SWP wanted to take a look as well. Also, I have dibs on the two -headed frog.
Going to catch and put on EBay. Thanks

Tip or Complaint: I had an interview with this company and was appalled when Mr Hightower
joked about how their
pressurized wood treatment would overflow into the stormwater collection area around the
plant and joked about how
you would probably find some 2-headed frogs down there. He also told me that they leave the
covers off the hazardous
waste satelite accumulation areas because "you have to dispose of hazardous waste by weight"
and it was cheaper to
dispose of if you let some of it evaporate.

Dear Mr. Seufert:
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for this 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:
1. The previous permit did not have analytical monitoring requirements. The following semi-annual
requirements have been added; ph, total suspended solids, and total recoverable copper. Benchmarks
for these substances have also been added to this draft permit. Benchmarks are not limits, but should
be used -as -guidance in your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan for acceptable -levels -of these -
substances. Analyses in excess of benchmark limits should lead to appropriate action to mitigate the
presence of these substances in the stormwater.
2. Vehicle maintenance has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with analytical and
qualitative monitoring.
3. You are responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote I of Tables 1,
4, and 5.
4. Part I1 Section A has been revised. It now specifies all of the items to include on the site map.
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 be issued in approximately two months.
If you have any questions or comments concerning this draft permit, contact me at [phone] x 376

Description of Onsite Activities:
This facility manufactures crates, boxes, cut/grooved wooden pieces, plywood, maintenance -free decking
and fencing materials, pallets, Pro -Wood treated lumber (treated with alkaline copper quaternary (ACQ
and copper quaternary (referred to as "micro")), engineered wood, and other wooden fence, landscaping,
and lattice items.
The developer of ACQO won a presidential green chemistry award, according to EPA's website. ACQ®
uses copper for primary wood protection and quaternary compounds as supplemental protection against
copper tolerant fungi and termites. EPA promotes this wood preservative is an environmentally advanced
formula designed to replace chromated copper arsenate wood preservatives, which are being phased out
because of their hazardous properties. The facility is now also using "micro", which is an advanced
version of ACQ®. ACQ contains monoethanolamine, which serves as an organic solvent for the copper
but also poses environmental risk if it were released. The new formula, micro, does not use solvent, and is
becoming more widely used in the industry.

Central Office Review Summary:
1. General Observations: The previous permit did not contain analytical monitoring requirements other
than those for vehicle maintenance, which is not done onsite. Analytical requirements have been added
for this cycle.
2. Changes Since the Previous Permit: Since the previous permit, the facility has started using a new
wood treatment chemical, as previously discussed.
Impairment: The receiving water was 303(d)-listed as impaired for biological integrity (both fish and
benthic communities) in 1998. Urban runoff and storm sewers are listed as the potential sources. The
Town Creek watershed is one of 55 watersheds in the Yadkin -Pee -Dee River basin that has been
identified by the NC Wetlands Restoration Program (NCWRP) as an area with the greatest need and
opportunity for stream and wetland restoration efforts.
Sampling Data:
The permittee was not required to do analytical monitoring in the previous permit. Qualitative data is
summarized in Table 1.

Application submitted prior to this time
Analytical Monitoring:
1. The previous permit did not have analytical monitoring requirements. The following requirements
have been added.
pH has been added per DWQ revised strategy.
"6. TSS has been added because sawdust is likely contained in the stormwater runoff.
�e Total recoverable copper has been added because copper is now the active chemical in the
lumber treatment process.
Due to a potential lag time between the expiration of this permit and its renewal, the reviewer has
specified in the permit that the permittee is responsible for all .monitoring until the renewal permit is
issued. See Footnote 1 of Tables 1, 4, and 5. This approach is recommended because there has been a
significant lag time since the expiration of the previous cycle, This will provide testing if there is a lag
in future timeframes.
'�. Benchmarks have been added to this draft permit.
All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually.

J
NCS000130
„S! The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall and
event duration parameters are in this permit, however.) (There was no flow requirement in the
previous permit.)
The permittee is required to collect all of the analytical monitoring samples during representative storm
events as defined in this permit. This is not a change from their previous permit. Qualitative
monitoring does not have to be performed during a representative storm event.
J7. The EPA Sector -Specific permit lists arsenic, chromium, phenols, and COD as potential analytical
monitoring requirements. These are not requirements in this permit. Arsenic and chromium
monitoring is not required because this facility uses copper -based chemicals. After discussion with the
facility contact, I do not believe that phenols or COD will be an issue either. All of their chemical
usage is done inside the facility using containment tanks. The only item stored outside of the facility is
a portion of the finished wood products. The higher -grade products are stored under an outdoor roof.
It is likely that the higher -grade products are the treated products. It is therefore unlikely that there will
be any leaching. COD is commonly used to indirectly measure the amount of organic compounds in
water. It indicates the mass of oxygen consumed per liter of solution. Though the facility uses ACQ®
which contains monoethanolamine, the MSDS shows that monoethanolamine is only ^-5% of the
solution before it is applied to the wood. Monoethanolamine is also highly volatile, and I do not
believe that it will cause COD concerns in surface water. Following discussions with the facility
contact, I do not believe that phenols will be.a problem. The chemicals we discussed are not phenols.
Other Proposed Changes to the Previous Permit:
+� .—Part.II.Section.A.has_been.revised._It.now specifies.all.ofthe.items.to.include.on-the -site _map._
-4. Vehicle maintenance has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with analytical and
qualitative monitoring.
Discussions with permittee: Jim Seufert, 616.365.1569, 22 February 2007
1. What process changes have occurred since your application (July 2004)?
The only significant process change is the incorporation of ACQ and micro. No others are
anticipated at this time.
2. Do you use arsenic or chromium onsitc? I read on your website that you use alkaline copper
quaternary (ACQ) for your treated lumber. This typically replaces the need for arsenic or chromium in
the treatment process. Do you use arsenic or chromium for any other processes onsite?
No, arsenic and chromium use has been replaced by copper.
3. Is your treated lumber treated onsite?
Yes.
4. What chemicals are involved in your laminated veneer process, or is heat the only binding agent?
The facility re -sells laminated veneer items that have been laminated elsewhere.
5. Where is the outfall on your map? Your application shows that it is on the east side of the yard behind
the treating plant.
It is the 36" discharge pipe out of the sedimentation basin.
6. Do you do any onsite vehicle maintenance?
No.

This subbasin is located entirely within the piedmont
portion of the state. Muddy Creek is the largest tributary
of the Yadkin River within this subbasin and its watershed
drains the Winston-Salem area. Grants Creek, in the
southwestern part of the subbasin, flows through Salisbury,
Spencer and East Spencer. Dutchman Creek (subbasin 03-
07-05) and the South Yadkin River (subbasin 03-07-06)
enter the Yadkin River above High Rock Lake in this
subbasin. Abbotts Creek (discussed in subbasin 03-07-07)
is a tributary to High Rock Lake. The subbasin contains
all or part of more than 15 different municipalities and five
counties. The Yadkin River and High Rock Lake serve as
the county boundary between Davie and Davidson and
Rowan and Davidson counties.

This subbasin is one of only a few in which more than 5 percent of land is described as urban.
The northern portion of the subbasin includes Winston-Salem, Rural Hall, Tobaccoville and parts
-of King, Lewisville, Clemmons and Kernersville and is almost completely developed.
Approximately 56 percent of the land is forested and nearly 35 percent is in agriculture. More
than 3 percent is surface water reflecting a large portion of the 15,750-acre High Rock Lake.
This subbasin contains more than one quarter (27 percent) of the total basin population, and the
population density in 1990 was the highest of any other subbasin. Population is expected to
increase 32 percent in Rowan, 26 percent in Forsyth and 25 percent,in Davidson counties
between 2000 and 2020. The subbasin contains 40 NPDES permitted:discharges and eight
registered animal operations. Facilities with compliance or toxicity problems are discussed in
following sections.
The majority of waters within this subbasin exhibit some level of impacts to water quality. Many
streams are Impaired by a combination of nonpoint and point source pollution. There are no
High Quality Waters or Outstanding Resource Waters within the subbasin.

Totai stream milesiacres assigned to each use support category in this subbasin. Column is not additive because some stream
miles are assigned to more than one category.
These waters are impaired based on Fish consumption advice issued for three species of freshwater fish due to mercury
contamination. Refer to page 104 of Section A for details.
4.2 Status and Recommendations for Previously Impaired Waters
This section reviews use support and recommendations detailed in the 1998 basinwide plan,
reports status of progress, gives recommendations for the next five-year cycle, and outlines
current projects aimed at improving water quality for each water. The 1998 Yadkin-Pee,Dee
River basin plan identified portions of Reynolds Creek, Salem Creek and Grants Creek as
Impaired. These waters are discussed in further detail below.
4.2.1 Reynolds Creek (3.3 miles from source to Muddy Creek)
1998 Recommendations
Biological surveys conducted in 1994 revealed that Reynolds Creek was Impaired downstream of
the Sequoia WWTP. This facility was a package WWTP serving a residential community.
DWQ recommended that an engineering alternatives analysis be conducted to determine the
feasibility of eliminating this discharge and connecting to the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County
collection system. Recommendations were also made for reducing nonpoint source pollution.
Current Status .
Benthic-macroinvertebrate communities in Reynolds Creek were sampled again at two locations
in 2000. Due to reduced flow, the stream was too small for bioclassifications to be assigned.
Upstream of the discharge, DWQ biologists found that there had been a slight decline over the
six -year period, which is likely due to increased development in Lewisville. Downstream,
significant problems still existed that were attributed primarily to the WWTP. Areas of sludge
deposition were observed that were contributing to water quality problems. The Sequoia WWTP
discharge was removed in July 2001.
2002 Recommendations
Although Reynolds Creek is currently Not Rated due to its small size, significant water quality
problems still exist. DWQ will continue to monitor this stream to evaluate any improvement
Section B: Chapter 4 - Yadkin -Pee Dee River Subbrtsin 03-07-04 150

following the removal of the Sequioa WWTP discharge. However, local actions are needed to
reduce the effects of nonpoint source pollution, particularly from stormwater runoff, and to
restore habitat in the lower portion of the watershed. It is likely that Forsyth County and
Lewisville will be required by DWQ to obtain an NPDES permit for municipal stormwater
systems under the federal Phase 11 stormwater rules.
4.2.2 Salem Creek (12.0 miles from dam at Salem Lake to Muddy Creek)
1998 Recommendations
Recommendations for the Salem Creek watershed include support for the City of Winston-
Salem's stormwater program and call for further action by the city and Forsyth County to help
maintain and improve water quality in the face of continuing development. DWQ planned to
reevaluate the computer model used to determine the wasteload allocation for the Archie Elledge
WWTP and adjust the NPDES permit accordingly, based on the outcome.
Current Status
The Salem Creek watershed continues to develop, particularly in the headwaters near
Kernersville, but also on the lower end. Some habitat degradation was observed above Salem
Lake, but the majority of water quality problems exist below the confluence with Brushy Fork.
Biological surveys were conducted by DWQ at three sites below Salem Lake, and water
chemistry samples were also collected at three sites. Although a small percentage of samples
downstream of the Archie Elledge WWTP contained dissolved oxygen concentrations less than
5.0 mg/l, the WWTP does not seem to be adversely impacting the stream. Benthic
macroinvertebrate communities were very similar above and below the WWTP. Significant
habitat degradation was observed throughout the lower watershed, including severe bank erosion,
a lack of riparian vegetation, and sedimentation leading to a very uniform sand/silt substate (i.e.,
Iack of pool and riffle habitat). Additionally, the fish community site, which received a Poor
bioclassification, is located upstream of the WWTP discharge. Salem Creek, from the dam at
Salem Lake to the confluence with Muddy Creek, remains Impaired.
The geometric means of fecal coliform samples collected from three stations between 1998 and
2001 and one station between 1996 and 2001 from Salem Creek (307, 327, 368 and 773
colonies/ 100ml) indicate that the stream may not be suitable for primary recreation. In addition,
fecal coliform concentrations were greater than 400 coloniesl100ml in more than 20 percent of
samples from each site. Salem Creek is not currently classified for primary recreation (Class B).
However, the stream was historically placed on the 303(d) list for fecal coliform and a TMDL is
being developed by DWQ.
2002 Recommendations
Further investigation into the causes and sources of biological impacts to Salem Creek is needed
before specific recommendations to improve water quality can be made. Local actions are
needed to reduce sedimentation, turbidity and fecal coliform contamination and to promote the
production of instream habitat by restoring riparian vegetation throughout the watershed. DWQ
will develop a TMDL for fecal coliform and work with local agencies to implement it over the
next five-year basinwide planning cycle. Many of the BMPs employed to reduce fecal coliform
contamination will likely help reduce habitat degradation in the watershed also. In addition,
Forsyth County and Kernersville are required to obtain NPDES permits for municipal
Section B: Chapter 4 - Yadkin -Pee Dee River Subbasin 03-07-04 151

stormwater systems under the Phase II stormwater rules. Refer to page 37 of Section A, Chapter
2 for details.
Water QualiU Improvement Proiects
The Salem Creek watershed, including Peters Creek and Brushy Fork (03040101 170060), is one
of 55 watersheds in the Yadkin -Pee Dee River basin that has been identified by the NC Wetlands
Restoration Program (NCWRP) as an area with the greatest need and opportunity for stream and
wetland restoration efforts. This watershed will be given higher priority than a nontargeted
watershed for the implementation of NCWRP restoration projects. Refer to page 278 in Section
C for details.
4.2.3 Grants Creels (1.2 miles from SR 1910 to Yadkin River) .
1998 Recommendations
The 1998 basin plan discussed water quality impacts from the Salisbury Grants Creek WWTP
and Spencer Sowers Ferry Road WWTP discharges and Salisbury's plans to relocate the Grants
Creek WWTP discharge to the Yadkin River. Recommendations were for DWQ to monitor the
stream following the removal of this discharge and for local action to reduce nonpoint source
pollution.
Current Status
Biological data were collected from two sites, and water chemistry data were collected from
three sites along Grants Creek over the previous basinwide planning cycle. Although the
uppermost site (above the WWTP discharges) received a Good -Fair bioclassification, biological
surveys indicated severe habitat degradation as well as nutrient enrichment. Further downstream,
Grants Creek is impaired by a combination of historical point source problems and current
nonpoint source problems.
At two water chemistry sites (above and below the WWTPs), turbidity concentrations were in
excess of state standards in more than 10 percent of samples. The geometric means of fecal
conform samples collected from two stations between 1998 and 2001 and one station between
1996 and 2001 from Grants Creek (282, 231 and 291 colonies1100m1) indicate that the stream
may not be suitable for primary recreation. In addition, fecal coliform concentrations were
greater than 400 col6nies/100ml in more than 20 percent of samples from each site. Grants
Creek is not currently classified for primary recreation (Class B). However, the stream was
historically placed on the 303(d) list for fecal coliform and a TMDL has already been developed
by DWQ.
The City of Salisbury relocated the Grants Creek WWTP discharge to the Yadkin River in 1998.
The City of Spencer's Sowers Ferry Road WWTP continued to have significant and chronic
problems with BOD as well as chronic problems with dissolved oxygen and total suspended
solids over the most recent assessment period (1998-2001). However, in November 2000, the
City of Salisbury purchased the Sowers Ferry Road WWTP. Salisbury worked throughout 2001
and 2002 to divert all flows into the Grants Creek WWTP and the Sowers Ferry Road WWTP,
discharge was eliminated by the end of 2002.
Section B: Chapter 4 - Yadkin -Pee Dee River Sabbasin 03-07-04 152

2002 Recommendations
Although Grants Creek above the City of Salisbury is not Impaired, impacts are evident. Further
investigation into the causes and sources of biological impacts in the lower portion of Grants
Creek is needed before specific recommendations to improve water quality can be made. DWQ
expects to see some improvement below the old Sowers Ferry Road WWTP during the next
basinwide planning cycle due to Salisbury's elimination of this discharge. However, local'
actions will continue to be needed throughout the watershed to reduce sedimentation and
turbidity and to promote the production of instream habitat by restoring riparian vegetation.
DWQ's fecal coliform TMDL for Grants Creek was approved by the EPA in 2002. The study
revealed that the sources of fecal coliform in the Grants Creek watershed are urban sources in the
Landis, China Grove and Salisbury areas, livestock grazing and manure application on
agricultural lands and pasturelands, and wildlife in the forested areas of the watershed. The
Coliform Routing and Allocation Program was utilized to simulate instream fecal concentrations
and to allocate the fecal coliform loads to the various sources. In order for water quality
standards for fecal coliform to be met in Grants Creek, a nonpoint source load reduction of 33-60
percent under dry weather conditions and 85-97 under wet weather conditions must be met. The
model estimates that WWTP discharges contribute an insignificant percentage of the fecal
coliform loading in the watershed. In addition, both major discharges have now been removed
from Grants Creek. Therefore, the reduction allocation focuses on the fecal coliform loading
from urban sources in the Landis, China Grove and Salisbury areas and livestock grazing and
manure application on agricultural lands.
These calculations are the first step in reducing fecal coliform concentrations in the watershed.
Many of the BMPs employed to implement the TMDL will likely help reduce habitat
degradation in the watershed as well. In addition, Landis, China Grove and Salisbury are
required to obtain an NPDES permit for municipal stormwater systems under the federal Phase 11
stormwater rules. Refer to Section A, page 37 for details.
Water Quality Improvement Projects
The Grants Creek watershed (03040103 010010) is one of 55 watersheds in the Yadkin -Pee Dee
River basin that has been identified by the NC Wetlands Restoration Program (NCWRP) as an
area with the greatest need and opportunity for stream and wetland restoration efforts. This
watershed will be given higher priority than a nontargeted watershed for the implementation of
NCWRP restoration projects. Refer,to page 278 in Section C for details.
4.3 Status and Recommendations for Newly Impaired Waters, -
Town Creek, a portion of Muddy Creek and High Rock Lake are rated Impaired based on recent
DWQ monitoring (1996-2001). This section outlines the potential causes and sources of
impairment and provides recommendations for improving water quality.
Section B: Chapter 4 - Yadkin -Pee Dee River Subbasin 03-07-04 153

4.3.1 Muddy Creek (15.2 miles from Mill Creek #3 to SR 2995)
Current Status
The headwaters of Muddy Creek flow from Stokes County, and the stream is currently the
western boundary of the City of Winston-Salem. The watershed continues to develop,
particularly in the headwaters near King, Tobaccoville and Rural Hall, but also on the lower end
where Clemmons and Winston-Salem meet. Some habitat degradation was observed above the
confluence with Mill Creek, but the majority of water quality problems exist below this point.
On the low end, the stream exhibits some recovery below the confluence with South Fork Muddy
Creek; however, impacts are evident in this portion of stream as well. The middle portion of
Muddy Creek is Impaired based primarily on fish community data collected in 1996 and 2001.
Benthic macroinvertebrate communities in this middle reach of stream have also received
bioclassifications that indicate impairment, although these communities were not sampled at this
location over the most recent assessment period.
Water chemistry is collected at three locations along Muddy Creek. Elevated nutrients, turbidity
and fecal coliform were observed over the five-year period (1996-2001). The geometric means
of fecal coliform samples collected from two stations between 1998 and 2001 and one station
between 1996 and 2001 from Muddy Creek (265, 255 and 488 colonies/100ml) indicate that the
stream may not be suitable for primary recreation. Fecal coliform concentrations were greater
than 400 colonies/ 100m1 in more than 20 percent of samples from each site as well. Current
methodology requires additional bacteriological sampling for streams with a geometric mean
greater than 200 colonies/100m1 or when concentrations exceed 400 col/100ml in more than 20
percent of samples. However, these additional assessments are prioritized such that, as
monitoring resources become available, the highest priority is given to those streams where the
likelihood of full -body contact recreation is greatest. Muddy Creek is not currently classified for
primary recreation (Class B).
The impairment of Muddy Creek is primarily attributed to noripoint source pollution from
stormwater runoff from construction sites and developed areas. The input of heavily developed
and/or Impaired tributaries also contributes: Mill, Silas, Reynolds and Salem Creeks.
2002 Recommendations
Further investigation into the actual causes and sources of biological impacts to Muddy Creek is
needed before specific recommendations to improve water quality can be made; however, the
potential for water quality improvement for this stream is still strong. Local actions are needed
to reduce sedimentation, turbidity and fecal coliform contamination and to -promote the
production of instream habitat by restoring riparian vegetation throughout the watershed. In
addition, Forsyth County as well as King, Tobbacoville, Rural Hall, Lewisville and Clemmons
are required by DWQ to obtain an NPDES permit for municipal stormwater systems under the
Phase 11 stormwater rules. Refer to Section A, page 37 for details. Section A, Chapter 4 contains
more recommendations for reducing habitat degradation from stormwater runoff.
Water Quality Improvement Projects
Although Muddy Creek is not one of 55 watersheds in the Yadkin -Pee Dee River basin that has
been identified by the NC Wetlands Restoration Program (NCWRP) as an area with the greatest
need and opportunity for stream and wetland restoration efforts, several of its tributary
Section B: Chapter 4 - Yadkin -Pee Dee River Subbasin 03-07-04 154

watersheds have been selected. The Mill Creek, Silas Creek and South Fork Muddy Creek
watersheds have been targeted. These watersheds will be given higher priority than nontargeted
watersheds for the implementation of NCWRP restoration projects. Refer to page 278 in Section
C for details.
4.3.2 Town Creek (15.4 miles from source to Crane Creek)
Current Status
Town Creek begins just cast of Kannapolis and flows through Salisbury and East Spencer before
reaching High Rock Lake. The City of Salisbury historically had a discharge from a WWTP on
Town Creek. Significant improvement has been observed since the discharge was removed in
1990. However, both fish and benthic communities are Impaired in Town Creek. Habitat
degradation was noted along with a few occurrences of low dissolved oxygen and elevated
turbidity. The lower half of the watershed is heavily developed, and stormwater runoff is likely a
major contributor to the impairment. There is one minor discharge in the headwaters which
continues to be compliant with its NPDES permit.
2002 Recommendations
DWQ plans to conduct further investigation into the causes and sources of the biological
impairment of Town Creek during this basinwide planning cycle. DWQ will notify local
agencies of water quality concerns regarding these waters and work with them to conduct further
monitoring and to locate sources of water quality protection funding. In addition, Rowan County
and Salisbury are required to obtain an NPDES permit for municipal stormwater systems under
the Phase II stormwater rules. Refer to Section A, page 37 for details.
Water Quality Improvement Projects
The Town Creek watershed (03040103 010020) is one of 55 watersheds in the Yadkin -Pee Dee
River basin that has been identified by the NC Wetlands Restoration Program (NCWRP) as an
area with the greatest need and opportunity for stream and wetland restoration efforts. This
watershed will be given higher priority than a nontargeted watershed for the implementation of
NCWRP restoration projects. Refer to page 278 in Section C for details.
4.3.3 High Rock Lake (15,750 acres)
1998 Recommendations
High Rock Lake was not rated Impaired during the assessment period leading up to the 1998
Yadkin -Pee Dee River basin plan: 'However, the lake was rated support threatened and is
extensively discussed in the plan, indicating impacts to water quality that could lead to
impairment. The plan focuses on problems with excessive algal growths related to high nutrient
levels in the arms of the lake. Although nutrients were also high in the main body of the lake,
designated uses seemed to be supported. Recommendations are for DWQ to investigate the
feasibility of developing a nutrient strategy for the watershed and consider reclassifying the lake
as Nutrient Sensitive Waters. DWQ also planned to require phosphorus limits for major
discharges into the arms and urged all major dischargers in the watershed to identify ways to
optimize phosphorus removal using existing capabilities.
Section B:• Chapter 4 - Yadkin -Pee Dee River Subbasin 03-07-04 155

Current Status
Eight stations on High Rock Lake were monitored by DWQ in 1999, 2000 and 2001. This
increased monitoring of High Rock Lake over the most recent assessment period has allowed
DWQ to determine that the take is Impaired. The decision is based on high levels of nutrients,
combined with chlorophyll a, turbidity and percent dissolved oxygen saturation in excess of state
standards. Low dissolved oxygen and high turbidity in the Abbotts Creek and Town Creek Arms
are also contributing to aquatic life impairment. An extensive discussion of water quality data
collected from High Rock Lake is found in Section A, Chapter 4 beginning on page 107.
2002 Recommendations
The High Rock Lake watershed (map on page 279) comprises slightly more than half of the
Yadkin -Pee Dee River basin. Recommendations for improving water quality in the lake are
detailed in Section A, Chapter 4: Recommendations for Water Quality Issues Related to Multiple
Subbasins in the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin. The High Rock Lake part of the discussion begins
on page 107.
4.4 Section 303(d) Listed Waters
Currently, portions of six waters in this subbasin are listed on the state's draft 2002 303(d) list
for biological impairment: Reynolds Creek, Salem Creek, Grants Creek, Town Creek and two
small unnamed tributaries. Grants Creek and a portion of Salem Creek are also listed for fecal
coliform and turbidity. A fecal coliform TMDL for Grants Creek has been developed by DWQ,
and one for Salem Creek will likely be developed during this basinwide planning cycle. Refer to
Appendix IV for more information on the state's 303(d) list and listing requirements.
4.5 Status and Recommendations for Waters with Notable Impacts
Based on DWQ's most recent use support assessment, the surface waters discussed below are not
Impaired. However, notable water quality impacts were documented. While these waters are not
considered Impaired, attention and resources should be focused on them over the next basinwide
planning cycle to prevent additional degradation or facilitate water quality improvement. A
discussion of how impairment is determined can be found in Appendix Ill.
Although no action is required for these streams, voluntary implementation of BMPs is
encouraged and continued monitoring is recommended. DWQ will notify local agencies and
others ofwater.quality concerns discussed below and work with them to conduct further
monitoring and to locate sources of water quality protection funding. Additionally, education on
local water quality issues is always a useful tool to prevent water quality problems and to
promote restoration efforts. Nonpoint source agency contacts are listed in Appendix VI.
4.5.1 Mill Creek
Silas Creek
Mill and Silas Creeks parallel Salem Creek in the Muddy Creek watershed. These streams are
likely being impacted by stormwater runoff from the City of Winston-Salem. Mill Creek has not
been sampled by DWQ, but the lower two-thirds of the watershed contain moderate road
Section B: Chapter 4 - Yadkin -Pee Dee River Subbasin 03-07-04 156

coverage indicating large amounts of developed area, similar to the watershed of Silas Creek.
The fish community of Silas Creek was sampled by DWQ for the first time in 2001. Severe
habitat degradation was observed and the data indicated impairment. However, the stream was
resampled in 2002 and received a Good -Fair bioclassifcation. This score is likely due to the
reduction in nonpoint source pollution that accompanies an extended drought. Refer to Section
A, Chapter 4 for recommendations and management strategies for reducing impacts of runoff
from developed areas.
The Mill Creek and Silas Creek watersheds (03040101 170020 and 170040) are two of 55
watersheds in the Yadkin -Pee Dee River basin that have been identified by the Wetlands
Restoration Program as areas with the greatest need and opportunity for stream and wetland
restoration efforts. These watersheds will be given higher priority than nontargeted watersheds
for the implementation of NCWRP restoration projects. Refer to page 278 in Section C for
details.
4.5.2 Salem Lake
Kerners Mill Creek
Although the most severe water quality problems in the Salem Creek'watershed occur
downstream of Salem Lake, habitat degradation has been observed in Kerners Mill Creek above
the lake. In addition, this water supply lake exhibits signs of nutrient enrichment and a diverse
assemblage of algae. The Lowery Creek arm exhibits slightly lower dissolved oxygen compared
with the other two stations on Salem Lake. Local actions are needed to reduce the effects of
nonpoint source pollution in the Salem Lake watershed, particularly from stormwater runoff
from construction sites and developed areas. Kernersville is required to obtain an NPDES permit
for municipal stormwater systems under the Phase 11 stormwater rules. Refer to page 37 of
Section A, Chapter 2 for details.
The Salem Creek watershed (03040101 170060) is one of 55 watersheds in the Yadkin -Pee Dee
River basin that has been identified by the NC Wetlands Restoration Program (NCWRP) as an
area with the greatest need and opportunity for stream and wetland restoration efforts. This
watershed will be given higher priority than a nontargeted watershed for the implementation of
NCWRP restoration projects. Refer to page 278 in Section C for details.
4.5.3 South Fork Muddy Creek
South Fork Muddy Creek borders the City of Winston-Salem on the southeastern side. The
watershed contains a mix of residential and agricultural land uses. Most of the new development
is occurring in the Fiddlers Creek watershed. Substantial habitat degradation was observed
during biological surveys of South Fork Muddy Creek below the confluence of Fiddlers Creek.
The Good -Fair bioclassification could be due to the reduction in nonpoint source pollution that
accompanies an extended drought. Local actions are needed to reduce the effects of nonpoint
source pollution, particularly from stormwater runoff from construction sites and developed areas
in Fiddlers Creek, but also from agricultural activities in other parts of the watershed.
The South Fork Muddy Creek watershed (03040101 170070) is one of 55 watersheds in the
Yadkin -Pee Dee River basin that has been identified by the NC Wetlands Restoration Program
Section B: Chapter 4 - Yadkin -Pee Dee River Subbasin 03-07-04 157

(NCWRP) as an area with the greatest need and opportunity for stream and wetland restoration
efforts. This watershed will be given higher priority than a nontargeted watershed for the
implementation of NCWRP restoration projects. Refer to page 278 in Section C for details.
4.5.4 North Potts Creek
South Potts Creek
North and South Potts Creeks flow south in Davidson County near Lexington into the upper
reaches of High Rock Lake. The South Potts Creek watershed (larger of the two) is mostly in
agriculture, with the exception of the 1-85 corridor and a large rail yard on the lower end. Some
historic channelization is evident, and residential development is increasing along US 29/70
between Lexington and Spencer. One NPDES permitted discharge (Davidson County
Churchland Elementary) is in significant noncompliance for ammonia in the headwaters.
There is already more developed area in the North Potts Creek watershed and major
channelization has occurred. Two NPDES permitted discharges (Davidson County Tyro Junior
High and West Davidson High) are -in significant noncompliance for BOD, ammonia and
chlorine. DWQ sampled North Potts Creek in 1988, but there is no recent data for either stream.
DWQ will attempt to conduct a special study of these streams during the next basinwide
planning cycle to determine: 1) the level of impacts associated with these land uses and
discharges; and 2) the contribution of this watershed to the impairment of High Rock Lake. In
addition, local actions are needed to reduce the effects of nonpoint source pollution, particularly,
from stormwater runoff.
4.6 Additional Water Quality Issues with Subbasin 03-07-04
The previous parts discussed water quality concerns for specific stream segments. This section
discusses water quality issues related to multiple watersheds within the subbasin. Information
found in this section may be related to concerns about things that threaten water quality or about
plans and actions to improve water quality.
4.6.1 NPDES Discharges
Twenty-two of the 40 NPDES discharges had a few permit violations over the two-year review
period (September 1999 - August 2001). Nine facilities are in significant noncompliance; six are
Davidson County schools. Almost every school in Davidson County is in significant
noncompliance for at least one parameter. Because the facilities are scattered throughout several
subbasins, these problems and the plans to correct them are discussed on page 113 of Section A,
Chapter 4. Color/Tex Finishing had significant problems meeting COD, pH and total suspended
solids limits in 2000. The Sowers Ferry Road WWTP (originally owned by Spencer, then
bought by Salisbury) was in significant noncompliance over the entire period of review for
problems meeting BOD, dissolved oxygen and total suspended solids limits: This discharge was
eliminated in 2002. The Hilltop Living Center had problems meeting BOD limits over the two-
year review period.
Section B: Chapter 4 - Yadkin -Pee Dee River Subbasin 03-07-04 158

Fifteen facilities are required to monitor effluent toxicity; three have had significant compliance
problems over the previous basinwide planning cycle. The Lucent Technologies groundwater
remediation facility failed four consecutive chronic toxicity tests during the period from March
to June of 1999. Facility staff replaced the system's carbon filter media and optimized
application of treatment chemicals to address the problem. No failures have occurred since June
1999. Noncompliances in 1999 and 2000 at the City of Salisbury's Sowers Road WWTP seemed
to be associated with operational problems at the WWTP. There were no WET test failures
between September 2000 and 2002 when the discharge was eliminated. The Scarlett Acres
Mobile Home Park WWTP has produced sporadic failures since it began operation in 1990. Its
most recent noncompliances in 2001 have been attributed to poor operation and numerous power
outages.
4.6.2 Projected Population Growth
The population of Rowan County is projected to increase 32 percent, Davidson County — 25
percent, and Forsyth County — 26 percent between 2000 and 2020. Much of this development is
likely to occur along highway corridors (I-40, I-85, US 64 and US 29/70) and in smaller
suburban municipalities like King, Kernersville, Lewisville and Clemmons. Figure B-5 presents
population increases between 1990 and 2000 for selected municipalities this subbasin.

Growth management within the next five years will be imperative in order to improve or
maintain water quality"in this subbasin. Growth management can be defined as the application of
strategies and practices that help achieve sustainable development in harmony with the
conservation of environmental qualities and features of an area. On a local level, growth
management often involves planning and development review requirements that are designed to
maintain or improve water quality. Refer to Section A, Chapter 4 for more information about
minimizing impacts to water quality from development.
Section B: Chapter 4 - Yadkin -Pee Dee River Subbasin 03-07-04 159

4.6,3 The South Yadkin/Yadkin River Corridor Conservation Plan
The LandTrust for Central NC (LTCNC) received $7,500 from the Conservation Trust for North
Carolina and the Clean Water Management Trust -Fund to develop a report evaluating the
conservation needs and opportunities along 24 miles of the lower South Yadkin River and a 26-
mile section of the Yadkin River above High Rock Lake. This corridor incidentally included a
portion of lower Grants Creek as,well.
The South Yadkin/Yadkin River Corridor Conservation Plan was completed in December 2001.
The highest priorities for conservation identified by the plan are land between Fourth Creek and
the South Yadkin River, above and including the confluence of the two streams; and land
between the South Yadkin River and the Yadkin River, above and including the confluence of
the two rivers. There are large tracts of land (owned by Duke Power -Progress Energy) along the
Yadkin River which are in close proximity to lands that are already by LTCNC. There are also
large amounts of riparian land (owned by ALCOA) along both the South Yadkin and Yadkin
Rivers. These Duke Power and ALCOA lands also received high priority for protection (Merrill,
December 2001).
The conservation plan has been integrated into the daily efforts of LTCNC while pursuing
conservation opportunities in the Yadkin -Pee Dee River basin. Page 294 of Section C contains
more information about The LandTrust for Central NC. You may also visit the website for
details about the many lands which LTCNC helped place in conservation ownership at

Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit
Permit No. NCS000218
Universal Forest Products
Rowan County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Seufert:
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for this 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:
1. The previous permit did not have analytical monitoring requirements. The following semi-annual
requirements have been added; ph, total suspended solids, and total recoverable copper. Benchmarks
for these substances have also been added to this draft permit. Benchmarks are not limits, but should
be used -as --guidance in your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan for acceptable levels of these -
substances. Analyses in excess of benchmark limits should lead to appropriate action to mitigate the
presence of these substances in the stormwater.
2. Vehicle maintenance has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with analytical and
qualitative monitoring.
3. You are responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote 1 of Tables 1,
4, and 5.
4. Part.11 Section A has been revised. It now specifies all of the items to include on the site map.
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 be issued in approximately two months.
If you have any questions or comments concerning this draft permit, contact me at [phone] x 376

This site discharges to impaired waters experiencing problems with biological integrity. If a
Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is approved for this segment of Town Creek, the Permittee
may be required to monitor for the pollutant(s) of concern in the future and submit results to the
Division of Water Quality. 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 Pennittee will be
required to (1) develop a strategy for implementing appropriate BMPs, and (2) submit a timetable
for incorporation of those BMPs into the permitted Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. .
SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of '
representative outfall status and shall be performed as specified below in Table 4. ' Qualitative
monitoring is for the purpose of evaluating the effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SPPP) and assessing new sources of stormwater pollution. No analytical tests
are required. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls is performed when stormwater
discharge occurs but does not need to be performed during a representative storm event.
Part H Page 5 of 7

Permit No. NCS000218
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 Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plan.
All qualitative monitoring will be performed twice per year, once in the spring (April - June) and
once in the fall (September - November).

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 runoff through spills or exposure of
materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP must be site stormwater
specific. Therefore, an oil Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure plan (SPCC)
may be a component of the SPRP, but may not be sufficient to completely address the
stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may
be incorporated by reference into the SPRP. � 1

Permit No. NCS000593
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.
Footnotes:
1 Measurement Frequency: T Cep ear (unless other provisions of this permit prompt monthly
sampling) during a measureab a storm event, until either another permit is issued for this facility or until
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.
L 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 each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless
representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the Division's letter granting 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
sample dates, unless monthly monitoring has been instituted under a "Tier Two"
Part II Page 5 of 15

Permit No. NCS000593
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.

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.

SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and identify new potential sources of stormwater
pollution. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls must be performed during a
measurable storm event.
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of
representative outfall status. Qualitative monitoring shall be performed -semi-annually as
specified in Table 4, and during required analytical monitoring events (unless the permittee
is required to perform further qualitative monitoring per the Qualitative Monitoring
Response, below). Inability to monitor because of adverse weather conditions must be
documented in the SPPP and recorded on the Qualitative o oring Report form (see
Adverse Weather in Definitions). Only SDOs dischar fi g water associated with
industrial activity must be monitored (See Definitis].
In the event an atypical condition is noted at a sto r discharge outfall, the permittee
shall document the suspected cause of the con ' aM.Ehy actions taken in response to
the discovery. This documentation will be th the SPPP.

2 Monitoring Location: Qualitative monitoring shall be performed at each stormwater discharge outfall
(00) regardless of representative outfall status.
PartI I Page 9 of 15

Permit No. NCS000593
A minimum of 60 days must separate monitoring dates, unless additional sampling has
been instituted as part of other analytical monitoring requirements in this permit.
If the permittee's qualitative monitoring indicates that existing stormwater BMPs are
ineffective, or that significant stormwater contamination is present, the permittee shall
investigate potential causes, evaluate the feasibility of corrective actions, and implement
those corrective actions within 60 days, per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below.
A written record of the permittee's investigation, evaluation, and response actions shall be
kept in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.

To meet the intent of the monitoring required by this permit, all test procedures must produce
minimum detection and reporting levels and all data generated must be reported down to the
minimum detection or lower reporting level of the procedure. If no approved methods are
determined capable of achieving minimum detection and reporting levels below permit discharge
requirements, then the most sensitive (method with the lowest possible detection and reporting
level) approved method must be used.
Representative Outfall
If a facility has multiple discharge locations with substantially identical stormwater discharges that
are required to be sampled, the permittee may petition the Director for representative outfall status.
If it is established that the stormwater discharges are substantially identical and the permittee is
granted representative outfall status, then sampling requirements may be performed at a reduced
number of outfalis.

Permit Number NCS000218
Rowan County
Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under NPDES Permit NCS000218. This permit expires
on October 31, 1999. In order to assure your continued coverage under your permit, you must apply to the
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) for renewal of your permit. To make this renewal process easier, we are
informing you in advance that your permit will be expiring. Enclosed you will find an individual permit renewal
application form, supplemental information request, and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan certification. Filing
the application form along with the requested supplimental information will constitute your application for renewal
of your permit. The application form must be completed and returned along with all requested information by May
24, 1999 in order to constitute a timely renewal filing.
Recent legislation modified the fee structure for DWQ permits. Renewal fees have been eliminated and annual fees
have been changed. The new annual fee for your permit is now $715.00 (you will be invoiced later this year for
your annual fee.) A copy of the new fee schedule is enclosed in this package.
Failure to request renewal by May 24, 1999 may result in a civil assessment of at least $250.00. Larger penalties
may be assessed depending on the delinquency of the request. Discharge of stormwater from your facility without
coverage under a valid stormwater NPDES permit would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and could
result in assessments of civil penalties of up to $10.000 per day.
If you have any questions regarding the permit renewal procedures please contact Darren England of the

(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 of materials and processes to
stormwater. Wherever practical, the permittee shall prevent exposure of all storage areas, material
handling operations, and manufacturing or fueling operations. In areas where elimination of
exposure is not practical, the stormwater management plan shall document the feasibility of
diverting the stormwater runoff away from areas of potential contamination.
(b) Secondary Containment Schedule. A schedule to provide secondary containment for bulk storage
of liquid materials, storage of Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority chemicals, or storage of hazardous substances to
prevent leaks and shills from contaminating stormwater runoff. If the secondary containment,
devices are cu,,n,ccted directly to stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be
controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices [which shall be secured with a
Part II Page I of 4

Permit No. NCS000218
locking mechanism] and 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 the material stored within the containment area. 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 years.
(c) BMP Summary. A narrative description shall be provided of Best Management Practices (BMPs)
to be considered such as, but not limited to, oil and grease separation, debris control, vegetative
filter strips, infiltration and stormwater detention or retention, where necessary. The need for
structural BMPs shall be based on the assessment of potential of sources to contribute significant
quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected through monitoring of
stormwater discharges.
3. Spill Prevention and Response Plan. -The Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP) shall incorporate an
assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials inventory of the facility. Facility personnel
(or team) responsible for implementing the SPRP shall be identified. A responsible person shall be on -site
at all times during facility operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff through spills
or exposure of materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP must be site stormwater specific.
Therefore, a SPCC plan may be a component of the SPRP, but may not be sufficient to completely address
the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may be
incorporated by reference into the SPRP.
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance program shall be
developed. The program shall document schedules of inspections and maintenance activities of stormwater
control systems, plant equipment and systems. Inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning
schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program.
5. Employee Training. Training schedules shall be developed and training provided at a minimum on an
annual basis on proper spill response and cleanup procedures and preventative maintenance activities for all
personnel- involved in any of the facility's operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater
runoff. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the training shall be identified.
6. Responsible Party. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall identify a specific position(s)
responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision to the Plan.
Responsibilities for all components of the Plan shall be documented and position assignments provided.
7. Plan Amendment. The permittee shall amend the Plan whenever there is a change in design, construction,
operation, or maintenance which has a significant effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to
surface waters. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall be reviewed and updated on an annual
basis.
The Director may notify the permittee when the Plan does not meet one or more of the minimum
requirements of the permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee shall submit a time schedule to the
Director for modifying the Plan to meet minimum requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in
writing (in accordance with Part I11, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3) to the Director that the
changes have been made.
Facility Inspection Program. Facilities are required to inspect all stormwater systems on at least a
semiannual schedule, once in the fall (September -November) and once in the spring (April -.Tune). The
inspection and any subsequent maintenance activities performed shall be documented, recording date and
time of inspection, individual(s) making the inspection and a narrative description of the facility's
stormwater control systems, plant equipment and systems. Records of these inspections shall be
incorporated into the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
Part II Page 2 of 4

Permit No. NCS000218
Stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring as required in Part II of this permit shall be performed in
addition to facility inspections.
9. implementation. The permittee shall document all monitoring, measurements, inspections and maintenance
activities and training provided to employees, including the log of the sampling data and of activities taken
to implement BMPs associated with the industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance activities. Such
documentation shall be kept on -site for a period of five years and made available to the Director or his
authorized representative immediately upon request.
SECTION B: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of representative outfall
status and shall be performed as specified below in Table 1. Qualitative monitoring is for the purpose of evaluating
the effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and assessing new sources of stormwater
pollution. No analytical tests are required. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls does not need to be
performed during a representative storm event.
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 Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.

16. Permittee
The owner or operator issued a permit pursuant to this individual permit.
17. Point Source Discharge of Stormwater
Any discernible, confined and discrete conveyance including, but not specifically limited to, any pipe, ditch,
channel, tunnel, conduit, well, or discrete fissure from which stormwater is or may be discharged to waters
of the state.
18. Representative Storm Event
A storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall and that is preceded by at feast 72 hours in which nb
storm event measuring greater than 0.1 inches has occurred. A single storm event may contain up to 10 consecutive
hours of no precipitation. For example, if it rains for 2 hours without producing any collectable discharge, and then
stops, a sample may be collected if a rain producing a discharge begins again within the next 10 hours.
19. Representative Outfall Status
When it is established that the discharge of stormwater runoff from a single outfall is representative of the
discharges at multiple outfalls, the DWQ may grant representative outfall status. Representative outfall
status allows the permittee to perform analytical monitoring at a reduced number of outfalls.
20. Rinse Water Discharge
The discharge of rinse water from equipment cleaning areas associated with industrial activity. Rinse
waters from vehicle and equipment cleaning areas are. process wastewaters and do not include washwaters
utilizing any type of detergent or cleaning agent.
21. Secondary Containment
Spill containment for the contents of the single largest tank within the containment structure plus sufficient
freeboard to allow for the 25-year, 24-hour storm event.
22. Section 313 Water Priority Chemical
A chemical or chemical category which:
a. Is listed in 40 CFR 372.65 pursuant to Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act (SARA) of 1986, also titled the Emergency Planning and Community Right -
to -Know Act of 1986;
b. Is present at or above threshold levels at a facility subject to SARA title III, Section 313 reporting
requirements; and
C. That meet at least one of the following criteria:
(1) Is listed in Appendix D of 40 CFR part 122 on either Table II (organic priority
pollutants), Table III (certain metals, cyanides, and phenols) or Table IV (certain toxic
pollutants and hazardous substances);
(2) Is listed as a hazardous substance pursuant to section 31 l(b)(2)(A) of the CWA at 40
CFR 116.4; or
(3) Is a pollutant for which EPA has published acute or chronic water quality criteria.

Severe Propertv.Dagine
Means substantial physical damage to property, damage to the control facilities which causes them to
become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be
expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss
caused by delays in production.
Significant Materials
Includes, but is not limited to: raw materials; fuels; materials such as solvents, detergents, and plastic
pellets; finished materials such as metallic products; raw materials used in food processing or production;
hazardous substances designated under section 101(14) of CERCLA; any chemical the facility is required to
report pursuant to section 313 of Title III of SARA; fertilizers; pesticides; and waste products such as ashes,
slag and sludge.that have the potential to be released with stormwater discharges.
Significant Spills
Includes, but is not limited to: releases of oil or hazardous substances in excess of reportable quantities
under section 311 of the Clean Water Act (Ref: 40 CFR 110.10 and CFR 117.21) or section 102 of
CERCLA (Ref: 40 CFR 302.4).
Stormwater Runoff
The flow of water which results from precipitation and which occurs immediately following rainfall or as a
result of snowmelt.
Stormwater Associated with Industrial Activity
The discharge from any point source which is used for collecting and conveying stormwater and which is
directly related to manufacturing, processing or raw material storage areas at an industrial site. Facilities
considered to be engaged in "industrial activities" include those activities defined in 40 CFR 122.26(b)(14).
The term does not include discharges from facilities or activities excluded from the NPDES program.
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
A comprehensive site -specific plan which details measures and practices to reduce stormwater pollution and
is based on an evaluation of the pollution potential of the site.
Ten Year Design Storm
The maximum 24 hour precipitation event expected to be equaled or exceeded on the average once in ten
years. Design storm information can be found in the State of North Carolina Erosion and Sediment Control
Planning and Design Manual.
Total Flow
The flow corresponding to the time period over which the entire storm event occurs. Total flow shall be
either; (a) measured continuously, (b) calculated based on the amount of area draining to the outfall, the
amount of built -upon (impervious) area, and the total amount of rainfall, or (c) estimated by the
measurement of flow at 20 minute intervals during the rainfall event.
Toxic Pollutant
Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act. 71
