Mr. Croke,
I just wanted to touch base and let you know that the final stormwater permit for your facility was mailed in early
August, but returned to our office because of an address issue. It looks like a got the zip code wrong. I have mailed the
hard copy again to the correct address and zip code and I have attached an electronic copy here.
I'm sorry for this error and in the delay in receiving your final permit.

Review of Permit Renewal — NCS000334
JCI Jones Chemicals Inc.
Aug 2, 2018
• SIC 2819 — Industrial Inorganic Chemicals. Facility blends, repackages and distributes chemicals for water and
wastewater treatment.
• Monitoring —The facility has been monitoring for TSS, Oil and Grease, TP, Nitrate + Nitrite, Total Residual Chlorine
(TRC) and pH. Previous permit did have tier system.
o Data reviewed from 2009 through 2017. A few parameters did show exceedances over this time period and
these values will be retained in the permit monitoring. TSS had six results either above or right at the
benchmark, pH was at or below the lower range on three occasions and TP exceeded 1.9 on two occasions
in 2016. All TCR results were reported as <0.05mg/L. This reporting threshold is almost double the
benchmark value. TRC methods can report at lower values and these should be used. In 2008 DWQ memo
issues were noted with TRC monitoring and set a compliance level of 0.05mg/L (memos in file). Numbers
are still to be reported below this but it appears that the lab was using this as their reporting limit. DWR
has new guidance in development.
o Oil and Grease and nitrate+nitrite were consistently below the benchmark values and have been removed
from the permit.
a Parameters remaining in the permit — TSS, TP, TRC and pH
o Tier structure adjusted to have the three levels as in current permits.
o Parameter codes added to permit.
• Discussed site issues with facility contact — Mike Croke. He noted that the facility was pretty much the same with no
major changes. He indicated that they had some exceedances with TSS but CMSWS (Ron Eubanks) had been out
recently and showed them some things to help. Talked with Ron (Charlotte Mecklenburg Stormwater Services) and
he forwarded the last two inspections that CMSWS had conducted at the site. He indicated there were not many
issues at the site and the only potential issue was potential chlorine spill. He noted that the facility does regular
training on this in coordination with local agencies.
Email from Tim Gaffney (6/26/2018) with brief comments on draft— lab can get down below benchmark for TRC, no
vehicle maintenance at site, understand electronic reporting asked for notification when available, clarification on
expiration.
• TRC issues —talked with DWR staff (Chris & Connie as well as Dana Saterwhite) about the issues with TRC
monitoring. Discussed with Dana and she offered to add language to new guidance memo that would note
stormwater monitoring should be able to show results down to the benchmark value. Should probably add footnote
in permit table or in cover letter also.
• Facility drains to Paw Creek in the Catawba River Basin, a class C stream. 2014 Assessment Report 11-124 shows no
impairment of concern for this facility in this area. Downstream Lake Wylie is impaired, but is meeting criteria for all
parameters except two fish tissue parameters (Hg and PCB). This facility does not appear to be potential source in
these problems.
• NC National Heritage review — Report shows that a resource of concern in the area (Carolina Heelsplitter) but the
report designates the element occurance rank as'T' which indicates the resource is no longer there. Doesn't
appear that this is an issue for this site.
• MRO —Draft to Regional Office and Charlotte -Mecklenburg stormwater Services on June 11, 2018. Region
conducted site visit 6/26 and sent email 6/28 recommending issuance of renewal.

Subject: [External] Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit NCS000334
Good Morning Mr. Bennett,
This email is to confirm that on June 18, 2018 we received the Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit NCS000334
from the State of North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality for the JCI Jones Chemicals, Inc.
facility in Charlotte, North Carolina. We have reviewed the draft permit and in particular the eight significant
changes that you noted from the current permit and we understand each of them. In regards to item 43 in your
cover letter, we have contacted Chem-Bac Laboratories and they have confirmed that they do have an analytical
method capable of detecting concentrations of Total Residual Chlorine down to or below the specified
stormwater benchmark concentration of 28 ug/L; they can detect down to 10 ug/L. In regards to item #4 in your
cover letter, this facility does not perform any on -site vehicle maintenance activities or other similar equipment
maintenance activities that may be exposed to stormwater thus the requirements in Tables 4 and 5 of the draft
permit would not apply to us. In regards to item #6 in your cover letter, please let us know when your
electronic submittal process is available for submitting discharge monitoring reports and we will immediately
begin using it.
We have no other comments on the draft permit, other than one clarification. When the new permit is issued,
will it be issued for 5 years (August 1, 2018 through July 31, 2023) or just for 4 years and 11 months (August 1,
2018 through June 30, 2023) as currently shown in the draft permit? It's not a big deal but we usually see
permits issued for a full 5 years.
Thank you.

Permit No, NCS000334
JCI Chemicals, Inc.

Dear Mr. Croke:
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. Monitoring requirements in the draft permit have changed slightly from the previous permit.
Monitoring is proposed for Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Total Residual Chlorine (TRC), Total
Phosphorous (TP) and pH. Monitoring reported in your renewal application showed results for Oil
& Grease and Nitrate+Nitrites below the benchmark levels from 2009 through 2017. The draft
permit proposes to remove these parameters. Comments from our regional staff or other
information may result in maintaining these parameters if it is apparent that your activities in
someway have the potential to release them. Please note that the analysis for TRC must report
actual results down to or below the benchmark level. This will require. the use of an instrument
and analytical method capable of detecting concentrations down to or below the specified
stormwater benchmark concentration of 28 µg/L.
Stormwater benchmarks remain in the permit as before. Keep in mind that 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. The draft permit has modified the tiered response process for benchmark
exceedances consistent with other permits in our program. Please become familiar with the tiered
process as proper response under the tiers may be enforceable items under your permit.
Response to the tiered process may include review of onsite conditions, installation of BMPs or
requirements for more frequent monitoring.

4. Vehicle maintenance (Tables 4 & 5) monitoring parameters have been revised. Non -Polar Oil &
Grease [EPA Method 1664 (SGT-HEM)j replaces Oil & Grease/TPH. The benchmark for Non -polar
Oil & Grease 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. Also,
pH monitoring is no longer required for discharges only associated with vehicle maintenance
activities.
The vehicle maintenance language in the permit has also been modified to clarify that these
activities include not just vehicles, but also other similar equipment maintenance activities that
may be exposed to stormwater. This has always been the Division's implementation of this
requirement, but hopefully the adjusted language is a little clearer about this process.
S. Language has been added under Part If Section D to address potential responses to qualitative
monitoring issues.
6. 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. Our electronic
submittal process is not available for use at this time, but we will continue to provide feedback on
when this process will be available.
7. Civil and administrative penalty amounts have been updated to reflect current federal law in Part
III, Section A, 2(b) and (g).
8. The definition of Bulk Storage of Liquid Materials was revised in Part IV Definitions to omit the
language "located in close proximity to each other" as it applies to multiple above ground storage
containers having a combined storage of 1,320 gallons.
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 bradley :bennett(7a ncdenr.eov or mailed to my
attention at NC DEMLR, Stormwater Permitting Program, 1612 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-
1612. With this notification the Division will solicit comment on this draft by publishing a notice in a local
newspaper. Following the 30 day public comment period, the Division will review comments and take
appropriate action prior to issuance of the final permit.
If you have any questions, please email me or call me at [phone].

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 (oralternatively the site map) shall identify
whether any receiving �waters,areimpaired (on the state's 303(d) list of impaired
waters) or if the site is locafed n4a;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 are 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 If Page 1 of 13

Permit No. NCS000334 DRAFT
(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-owflouws. Wherever practical, the
lip, h3C
permittee shall prevent exposure of all storage areas, material handling operations,
and manufacturing or fueling operations.(In area5`'`vvher.e 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 Requirem nts and5Records. Secondary containment is
;pk
m{e
P: trr-
required for: bulk storage of liquid aterials; storage in any amount of Section 313
of Title III of the Superfund Amei dments,and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water
I J1/
priority chemicals; and storage in any- . amount of hazardous substances in order to
prevent leaks and spill from contaminating stormwater runoff. A table or summary
of all such tanks and stoi ed�mate. pals 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 onother similar devices (which shall be secured closed with a
locking mechanism)`. -Any stormwater that accumulates in the containment area
shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam, outfall staining, visible
sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the accumulated stormwater.
Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be uncontaminated by any
material. Records documenting the individual making the observation, the
description of the accumulated stormwater, and the date and time of the release
shall be kept for a period of five (5) years. For facilities subject to a federal oil Spill
Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC), any portion of the SPCC Plan
fully compliant with the requirements of this permit may be used to demonstrate
compliance with this permit. The Division may allow exceptions to secondary
containment requirements for mobile refuelers, as with the exemption provided by
amendments to federal SPCC regulations, as long as appropriate spill containment
and/or diversionary structures or equipment is used to prevent discharge to surface
waters. Exceptions do not apply to refuelers or other mobile tankage used primarily
as bulk liquid material storage in a fixed location in place of stationary containers.
(c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management
Practices (BMPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs
Part 11 Page 2 of 13

Permit No. NCS000334 DRAFT
shall be based on the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute
significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and on data collected
through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a
written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the
selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually.
3. Spill Prevention and Response Procedures. The Spill Prevention and Response
Procedures (SPRP) shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based
on a materials inventory of the facility. Facility personnel responsible for implementing
the SPRP shall be identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and
dated by each individual acknowledging their responsibilities for the plan. A
responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility operations that have
increased potential to contaminate stormwater 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
7 / , p,, ff
stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common elements o f "'e 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,�contfol 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'unl`oading areas, and haul roads), all drainage features and
structures, and existing structural°BM'Ps. 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
le
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 II 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
Part 11 Page 3 of 13

Permit No. NCS000334 DRAFT
personntiel 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.
Responsibilities for all components of the SPPP shall be documented and position
assignments provided.
8. 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:
=qgF'"'
(a) an updated list of significant spills or:�leaksWpollutants for the previous three
/ ��`l�3, r4, .IV
(3) years, or the notation that no spills have occurred (element of the Site
Overview);
(b) a written re -certification that the sto"rm�w'ater outfalls have been evaluated for
the presence of non -storm wateredischarrges (element of the Site Overview);
(c) a documented re-evaluation f the�effectiveness of the on -site stormwater
BMPs (BMP Summary eleme t 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 pe mittee shal se the Division's Annual Summary Data
Monitoring Reporr(DMR)form, available from the Stormwater Permitting
Program's website (S,ee °httos://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/energy-mineral-land-
The Director may notify''tle 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.

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.

response actions under the previous,permit, the facility shall continue a monthly monitoring and
reporting schedule in TienTwo4ir 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
(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

SECTION D: 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 o6tfalis must be,performed during a
measurable storm event.
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspectio'of each stormwater outfall regardless of
representative outfall status. Qualitative monitoring shall be performed semi-annually
during required analytical monitoring events (unless the permittee is required to perform
further qualitative monitoring per the Qualitative Mon71 itoring Response, below). Inability
to monitor because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and
recorded on the Qualitative Monitong'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 suspdcted-cause se of the condition and any actions taken in response to
the discovery. This docu eri ation will be maintained with the SPPP.

permittee must take a substitute sample or perform a visual assessment during the next qualifying
storm event. Documentation of an adverse event (with date, time and written narrative) and the
rationale must be included with SPPP records. Adverse weather does not exempt the permittee from
having to file a monitoring report in accordance with the sampling schedule. Adverse events and
failures to monitor must also be explained and reported on the relevant DMR.

Dear Bradley Bennett:
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide information
about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
A query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are records for rare species, important natural
communities, natural areas, or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. These
results are presented in the attached 'Documented Occurrences' tables and map.
The attached 'Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that have been
documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these records suggests that
these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area if suitable habitat exists and is
included for reference. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed area within a one -mile radius of the
project area, if any, are also included in this report.
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation planning, project
review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria for regulatory decisions.
Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published without prior written notification to the
NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP
data may not be redistributed without permission.
Also please note that the NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a
Dedicated Nature Preserve (DNP), Registered Heritage Area (RHA), Clean Water Management Trust Fund
(CWMTF) easement, or an occurrence of a Federally -listed species is documented near the project area.

Hi Mike,
Sorry for my lengthy delay in responding. Our database still shows that we ares holding this renewal until we have staff
to work on it. We have a substantial backlog now, and this circumstance is not particular for JCI.
The database shows that we received the application for renewal on 10/31/2013. As long as you apply for renewal (you
did) and comply with your old permit federal rules protect you from the liability of 'discharging without a permit.'
Unfortunately I can't provide you with a reliable estimate of when we will be able to process your renewal
application. Please continue to abide by the permit conditions.

Hi Ken,
Hope you are doing well.
I am following up on our (JCI Jones Chemicals) Storm Water Permit NCS 000334. 1 have not received anything in the mail
nor heard anything via email thus I am just following up.
Last time we talked... you folks were backed up on your permit renewals. If that is still the case could you possibly tell
me about when you would expect the permit to be addressed.
Again it is not an issue forJCI....we will continue to abide by the current permit until told otherwise.
My Environmental Department wants me to follow up every (6) months or so:..thus the purpose of my email.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Mike,
• Our database shows that we received your renewal application 10/31/2013, in advance of the permit expiration
date of 3/31/2014. We consider your renewal application timely made.
• 1 note also that the database still shows my boss, Bradley Bennett, as the reviewer. Since Bradley doesn't
routinely process the renewal applications, this entry should be understood to mean that he is waiting for staff
to become available to work on the renewal. When staff are available, he can assign JCI-Jones to a staff
member. The first thing that staff member will do is contact JCI to alert them that we are processing the
renewal.
• I cannot provide a reliable estimate of when we will be able to deliver the renewed permit. You should not
interpret our delay as indicating any issues with your renewal application. JCI-Jones is one of many renewal
applications in our backlog.
• As l hape l reported before, federal rules anticipate our current circumstances. According to federal rules, when
the permittee makes timely application for renewal, but the permitting agency is late in delivering the renewed
coverage, the expired permit remains in effect until the agency delivers the renewed coverage. Please continue
to abide by the provisions of your current permit. (Which you are already doing, per your report below.)
Please contact me if I can provide further background or explanation.

Governor Secretary
March 11, 2015
To: Certified Laboratories
Subject: North Carolina Total Residual Chlorine Detection and Compliance Levels
Since we frequently get questions regarding the approved methods, instrumentation and reporting
procedures for Total Residual Chlorine (TRC), I would like to re -state the Division of Water
Resources' policies on these matters. In a letter dated August 14, 2001, the North Carolina Division
of Water Resources (previously Division of Water Quality) notified National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permittees that wastewater treatment facilities with TRC effluent
limits would be required to utilize an instrument or analytical method that will detect and measure
TRC concentrations to levels that are below the permit discharge limit by July 1, 2002. [Note: TRC
pen -nit limits are typically set between 17 to 28 µg/L for discharge to freshwater and 13 µg/L for
discharge to saltwater]. This requirement was based on an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
audit of the NC enforcement program. It was also necessary to ensure water quality protection and
compliance with state monitoring regulations [15A NCAC 213 .0505 (e) (4)]. This letter further
prescribed the following:
Acceptable EPA -approved methods for low-level TRC analyses include the Amperometric
Titration Method and the DPD Calorimetric Method. [Note: Permit levels of 13, 17 and 28
µg/L require that a low-level spectrophotometric/colorimetric method be used.]
• If a facility has no effluent limit for TRC (just a monitoring requirement), then use of a
hand-held meter, sometimes described as a pocket colorimeter, and -the reporting of <100
pg/L as a TRC value is acceptable. [Note: If a facility has a permit monitoring limit >0.1
mg/L (i.e., 100 µglL), it is acceptable to use a pocket colorimeter.]
In a subsequent letter dated May 1, 2008, the Division acknowledged that there were difficulties
with TRC measurement at the levels required by the discharge permits and notified NPDES
pennittees that a 50 µg/L compliance level would be adopted beginning with March, 2008 DMR
submittals. This letter also prescribed the following:
• Implementation of the 50 pg/L compliance level would not change the analysis, annual
verification of meter performance or data reporting, but simply how the reported values will
be evaluated by the Division from a compliance standpoint.
Permittees will still be required to report actual results on the monthly DMR submittals, but
for compliance purposes, all TRC values below 50 pg1L will be treated as zero. For
example, if the facility has a TRC permit limit of 17 pg/L and reports a TRC value of 40
pg/L on the DMR, this value will be considered compliant.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
ITEM 4: SUMMARY OF BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
The following practices and policies are designed to reduce or eliminate the potential for
contamination of storm water at the facility.
1. In addition to safety aspects, good housekeeping practices are an important measure
in preventing pollution. The Corporate housekeeping procedure can be found in our
Safety Training Manual. Employees are trained annually on the procedure, and
routine inspections include visual checks for housekeeping.
2. Maintaining equipment in good working order is essential in preventing pollution.
Our Maintenance Manual is devoted to facility and equipment maintenance.
Pertinent sections include procedures for inspection, maintenance and record keeping
on building, process equipment and tanks. In addition, site inspections include
equipment checks and visual inspections for buildings and tank dikes.
3. Spill prevention and response is possibly the most significant pollution prevention
measure. As such, a large portion of our corporate policies center around the
prevention and mitigation of spills, leaks and releases. Our Contingency Plan is
devoted to incident response procedures. The Contingency Plan is shared with local
emergency response agencies to facilitate rapid and appropriate response measures
and all employees are trained annually on its contents. In addition to the Contingency
Plan, five chapters of our Environmental Manual and two chapters in our Safety,
Training Manual are dedicated to spill, leak, and release response. Much of the site
inspection procedure is dedicated to spill and leak detection and corrective action.
Annual safety training of employees is conducted on spill, leak, and release response.
4. All -employees receive extensive training related to pollution prevention. In addition
to training on good housekeeping practices, employees receive annual training on the
Contingency Plan. Those employees who have been designated as Emergency
Responders receive a minimum of 24 hours of spill, leak, and release training each
year. Finally, all employees are periodically trained on the procedures and guidelines
for spill, leak and release response. In addition to the above, pertinent employees are
trained annually on the contents of our Spill Pollution Prevention Plan.
5. JCI has a comprehensive site inspection policy in its Environmental Manual that is
dedicated to pollution prevention. Employees perform a daily inspection for leaks
and spills, and keep a log of the inspection. The weekly site inspection is also
designed to detect spills and leaks. In addition, the weekly site inspection covers
equipment and building maintenance checks. Also, the monthly environmental report
recaps the daily and weekly inspections, and encourages review of the Contingency
Plan. In addition to the above, two qualitative storm water inspections are conducted
each year, once between January I - June 30 and once during July 1 - December 3 1.

6. The -loading and unloading of bagged and drummed products takes place at the
facility loading dock. Bulk liquid products are transferred either from tank truck or
rail cars. Bulk gasses are likewise transferred from rail cars. All product loading and
unloading areas are covered by the site inspection policy. In addition, drip pans are
used under pumps in order to reduce the potential for contamination.
7. Chemical bulk storage tanks have several pollution prevention measures in place and
operational, including drip pans under pumps, regular inspections, and diking and
berming to contain potentially contaminated stormwater runoff. Also, all chemical
bulk storage tanks are within the main facility building. The chemical bulk storage
tank systems are also covered by the facility Contingency Plan for accidental or
catastrophic spills, leaks, and releases.
The Corporate Waste Minimization Policy is contained in our Environmental Manual.
This policy contains many techniques that can reduce or eliminate contamination of
storm water runoff. Examples of such techniques include the use of drip pans, proper
emptying and maintenance of drip pans, inspection and maintenance of all equipment,
proper drum handling procedures, and separation of storm water from other
wastewaters.

Secretary
Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under NPDES Permit NCS000334. This permit
expired on 3/31/2011. To assure consideration for continued coverage under your individual permit,
you must apply to the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) for renewal of your permit. Enclosed you will
find an individual permit Renewal Application Form, Supplemental Information request, and
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Certification for your facility.
Filing the application form along with the requested supplemental information will constitute your
application for renewal of this permit. Until your permit renewal is completed and you receive a new
permit, please continue to comply with all conditions and monitoring requirements in your expired
NPDES stormwater permit.
The application and supplement must be completed and returned to DWQ by August 10, 2010. Failure
to request renewal within this time period will result in delay of your permit renewal and may result in
a civil assessment. Discharge of stormwater from your facility without coverage under a valid

ITEM 4: SUMMARY OF BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
The following practices and policies are designed to reduce or eliminate the potential for
contamination of storm water at the facility.
1. In addition to safety aspects, good housekeeping practices are an important measure
in preventing pollution. The Corporate housekeeping procedure can be found in our
Safety Training Manual. Employees are trained twice annually on the procedure, and
routine inspections include visual checks for housekeeping.
2. Maintaining equipment in good working order is also essential in preventing
pollution. Our entire Maintenance Manual is devoted to facility and equipment
maintenance. Pertinent sections include procedures for record keeping, building
inspection and maintenance, and maintenance of various equipment and tanks. In
addition, site inspections include equipment checks and visual inspections for
buildings and tank dikes.
Spill prevention and response is possibly the most significant pollution prevention
measure. As such, a large portion of our corporate policies center around the
prevention and mitigation of spills, leaks and releases. Our entire Contingency Plan
Manual is devoted to incident response procedures. The Contingency Plan is shared
with local emergency response agencies to facilitate rapid and appropriate response
measures. The Contingency Plan is reviewed and revised at least once each year, and
all employees are trained yearly on its contents. In addition to the Contingency Plan,
five chapters of our Environmental Manual and two chapters in our Safety Training
Manual are dedicated to spill, leak, and release response. Much of the site inspection
procedure is dedicated to spill and leak detection and corrective action. Finally,
annual safety training of employees is conducted on spill, leak, and release response.
4. All employees receive extensive training related to pollution prevention. As
discussed above, at least twice each year employees review and discuss good
housekeeping practices. Additionally, employees receive annual training on the
Contingency Plan. Those employees who have been designated as Emergency
Responders receive a minimum of 24 hours of spill, leak, and release training each
year. Finally, all employees are trained annually on the procedures and guidelines for
spill, leak and release response. In addition to the above, pertinent employees are
trained annually on the contents of our Spill Pollution Prevention Plan.

S. JCI has adopted a comprehensive site inspection policy that is dedicated to pollution
prevention. The policy is found in our Environmental Manual. Operators perform a
daily inspection for leaks and spills, and keep a log of the inspection. The weekly site
inspection is also designed to detect spills and leaks. In addition, the weekly site
inspection covers equipment and building maintenance checks. Also, the monthly
environmental report recaps the daily and weekly inspections, and encourages review
of the Contingency Plan. In addition to the above, two storm water inspections are
conducted each year. The facility is inspected once during the spring (April I to June
30) during a rainfall event. The inspection is logged on the spring inspection form. A
fall (September 1 to November 30) inspection is likewise conducted and documented.
6. The loading and unloading of bagged and drummed products takes place at the
facility loading dock. Bulk liquid products are transferred either from tank truck or
rail cars. Bulk gasses are likewise transferred from rail cars. All product loading and
unloading areas are covered by the site inspection policy. In addition, drip pans are

Permit No. NC5000334
JCI Jones Chemicals Inc.

Dear Mr. Gaffney:
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 this facility's current permit -
Analytical monitoring changes:
1.. Analytical monitoring parameters have been added to this permit including total suspended solids,
n i trate+ni trite, phosphorus, oil & grease, and chlorine.
2. pH has been added to the analytical monitoring requirements.
3. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as defined in
Part lI Section B. The permittee must also document the total precipitation for each event. If no discharge
occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating "No Flow"
within 30 days of the end of the six-month sampling period. Additionally, samples must be taken a
minimum of 60 days apart, as specified in Table 2.
4. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring have been added to this draft 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: If the
sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at
any outfall then the facility shall follow the Tier 1 guidelines which require a facility inspection within
two weeks and implementation of a mitigation plan within two months. If during the term of this permit,
the sampling results are above the'benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific
parameter at a specific discharge outfall two times in a row (consecutive), then the facility shall follow the
Tier 2 guidelines which require a repetition of the steps listed for Tier 1. and also immediately institute
monthly monitoring for all parameters at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark
value for two consecutive samples.
5. You are required to collect all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during representative
storm events as defined in Part II Section B. Qualitative monitoring is required regardless of
representative outfall status.
6. You are responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote 1 of Tables 1, 4,
and 5.
7. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall
parameter is in this permit, however.) One

8. Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with analytical
and qualitative monitoring. This requirement appears in all Individual Stormwater Permits, however it
only applies to facilities that do vehicle maintenance. If the facility begins vehicle maintenance during the
.permitted timeframe then the requirements shall apply.
Other permit_ changes:
1. Additional guidance is provided about the Site Plan requirements, The site map must now identify if the
receiving stream is impaired and if it has a TM.DI, established. It must also describe potential pollutants
in each outfall. The map requirements are stated more explicitly. And, the site plan must contain a list of
significant spills that have occurred in the past three years and also must certify that the outfalls have
been inspected to ensure that they do not contain non-stormwater discharges. Additional information is

Revised Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring:
1. Adding parameters...
a. TSS — to monitor for solids/sediment load in stormwater. Large volume of truck traffic is a potential
source.
b. O&G — truck traffic potential source.
c. Chlorine — one of the facility's main products. Highly toxic to aquatic life.
d. NO3+NO2—N — recommended parameter under MSGP Suhsector C2. Also, facility is located in
nutrient -sensitive watershed with nutrient management plan in place.
e. TP — added in conjunction with NOx-N to monitor for nutrient load. Past monitoring of Lake Wylie has
shown elevated TP concentrations in Paw Creek.
2. pH added — standard addition to permit.
3. All analytical monitoring set to semi-annually.
4. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring and Tiered monitoring system added to this draft permit.
5. Analytical and qualitative monitoring required during representative storm events. Qualitative monitoring
required regardless of representative outfall status.
6. Flow reporting replaced by total rainfall parameter.
7. Vehicle maintenance monitoring revised to semi-annually.
Other Proposed Changes to the Previous Permit:
1. See draft permit for full details.

Subject: Total Residual Chlorine 50 ug/1 Compliance Level
Michael F, Easley, Governor
State of North Carolina
William G. Ross, ]r., Secretary
Department of Environment and Natural Resources
coleen H. Sullins, Director
Division of Water Quality
In a previous letter dated August 14, 2001, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) notified
NPDES permittees that water/wastewater treatment facilities with Total Residual Chlorine
(TRC)- effluent limits would be required to use analytical methods that produce detection levels
below their permit limit by July 1, 2002. [Note: TRC permit limits are typically set between 17
to 28 ug/1 for discharge to freshwater systems, and 13 ug/1 for discharge to saltwater systems].
This requirement was based on an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) audit of the NC
enforcement program. It was also necessary to ensure water quality protection and compliance
with state monitoring regulations [15A NCAC 2B.0505(e)(4)].
Since that time, DWQ has received several inquiries regarding difficulties with the new
analytical methods, primarily focused on 1) lack of precision with field instrumentation at low
TRC levels for both water and wastewater treatment plants; and 2) manganese interference with
TRC measurement at several water treatment plants. Some facilities have overcome these
problems through various changes, such as: 1) switching dechlorination chemicals; 2) adding a
second dechlorination .feed; 3) changing analytical methods; 4) -incorporating manganese
correction; 5) switching to UV disinfection; G) removing sludge from water treatment plant
settling basins. Also, the DWQ Laboratory Certification staff have provided extensive field
assistance for the new lab methods. Still, some analytical issues remain. In response to the
pennittee's concerns, the Division is providing the following changes to its TRC requirements:
TRC Compliance Level Changed -to _50 ug/l, DWQ continued discussions with EPA
regarding analytical difficulties with TRC measurements, and in March 2008 received
EPA approval to allow a 50 ug/1 TRC compliance level. This will not change the
analysis, annual verification of meter performance, or data reporting, but simply how the
reported values will be evaluated by DWQ from a compliance standpoint. Facilities will
still be required to report actual results on their monthly DMR submittals, but for
compliance purposes all TRC values below 50 ug/l will be treated as zero. For example,
if the facility has a TRC limit of 17 ug/1 and reports a TRC value of 40 ug/1 on the DMR,
this value will be considered compliant under this new policy. This new compliance
level is effective March 1, 2008 (beginning with March 2008 DMR submittals).
DWQ will continue to incorporate TRC effluent limitations into NPDES permits for all
water/wastewater treatment facilities that discharge chlorine -bearing wastestreams to surface
waters. While this new TRC compliance level of 50 ug/1 is effective beginning March 1, 2008, it
will be incorporated into existing NPDES permits with TRC effluent limits upon permit renewal.
At that time, the following TRC footnote language will added to the Effluent Limitations Sheet:
"The facility shall report all effluent TRC values reported by a NC certified laboratory including
field certified. However, effluent values below 50 ug/1 will be treated as zero for compliance
purposes."

Permit No. NCS000334
PART II MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR
PERMITTED DISCHARGES
SECTION A. STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
The permittee shall develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, herein after referred to as
the Plan. This Plan shall be considered public information in accordance with Part III, Standard
Conditions, Section E, Paragraph 3 of this individual permit. The Plan shall include, at a
minimum, the following items:
1. Site Plan. The site plan shall provide a description of the physical facility and the
potential pollutant sources which may be expected to contribute to contamination of
stormwater discharges. The site plan 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 water(s) to which the
stormwater outfall(s) discharges, 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 point(s) of discharge.
(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.
(c) A site map drawn to scale with the distance legend indicating location of
industrial activities (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas
and loading and unloading areas), drainage structures, drainage areas for each
outfall and activities occurring in the drainage area, building locations, existing
BMPs and impervious surfaces, and the percentage of each drainage area that is
impervious. For each outfall, a narrative description of the potential pollutants
which could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge.
(d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred at the facility
during the 3 previous 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 certification statement will be signed in
accordance with the requirements found in Part III, Standard Conditions, Section
B, Paragraph 3.
2. Stormwater Management Plan. The stormwater management plan shall contain a
narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or
minimize the exposure of significant materials to stormwater, including structural and
Part I1 Page I of 4

Permit No. NCS000334
nonstructural measures. The stormwater management plan, 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 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 spills from
contaminating stormwater runoff. If the secondary containmcnt devices are
connected directly to stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be
controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices [which shall be
secured with a 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
Part II Page 2 of 4

Permit No. NCS000334
and systems. Inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of
these areas shall be incorporated into the program.
S. 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

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.
All qualitative monitoring will be performed twice per year, once in the spring (April - June) and
once in the fall (September. - November).

Subject: NPDES Stormwater Permit Renewal
Jones Chemicals Inc
Permit Number NCS000334
Mecklenburg County
Dear Permittee:
Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under NPDES Permit NCS000334. This permit expires
on March 31, 2001. 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 October 30, 2000 in
order to constitute a timely renewal filing.
Late last year, 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 at a
later date for your annual fee.) A copy of the new fee schedule is enclosed in this package.
Failure to request renewal by October 30, 2000 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 Bill Mills of the Stormwater and
General Permits Unit at [phone], ext. 548.
Sincerely,
Bradley Bennett, Supervisor
