In,areas where elimination of exposure is not practical, this review shall document,the fed` ibility of diverting the stormwater run-on away from areas of potential con amina ion. t� (b) Secondary Containment RequirementsRequire"'ments and Records. Secondary containment is required for: bulk. storage of liquid materials; storage in any amount of Section 313 of Title III of the SuperfiiidAmeridments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority chemicals: and stcorage!in anty amount of hazardous substances in order to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. A table or summary of all such tanks andtored materials and their associated secondary containment areas shall be maintaFined.,�lf the secondary containment devices are connected to stormwater conveyancersy tems, 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 maybe 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 Part it Page 2 of 12 Permit No. NC5000528 written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the selected site BMPs. The BMA 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 sufficienfto 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. `f f \� A�. ; 4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance and good housekeeping program-,shall,be,developed and implemented.

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 12 Permit No. NCS000528 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 Bach 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.

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 Part 11 Page 5 of 12 Permit No. NCS000528 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.

Chemical Oxygen Demand mg/L 120 PH standard 6-9 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 If: The first valid sampling results are above a benchmaek.value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at anv outfall; Then: The permittee shall: 1. Conduct a stormwater management'inspee,66 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 t e 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. Part 11 Page 7 of 12 Permit No. NCS000528 Tier Two If. The first valid sampling results from two consecutive monitoring periods 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 t*SPPRK ��i,, 6. Continue Tier Two response obligations througlioutpthe petm t renewal process. lk .\ _ Tier Three If: The valid sampling results required for the pe'r'initmoniforing periods exceed the benchmark value, or are outside the benchmark range, for arty specifi3c.parameter at an specific outfall on four p Y P occasions, the permittee shall notify the DEMLR Regional Engineer in writing within 30 days of receipt of the fourth analytical results; , C s�� Then: The Division may but is notYliinitedjto,,: ^ + require that the permittee evi a 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,td((;install st uctural 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. 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 (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 Part II Page 8 of 12 Permit No. NCS000528 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. Table 4.

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. Part II Page 9 of 12 Permit No. NCS000528 �QualitatlV@ Monitorink Resbonse 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 41 require the permittee implement site modifications to,qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion.

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 two monitoring parameters, including a change to one benchmark. 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 Oil & Grease parameter is changed to Non -polar Oil & Grease [EPA Method 1664 (SGT-HEM)]; the benchmark for Non -polar Oil & Grease is 15 mg/L. This requirement appears in all individual stormwater permits; however, it only applies to facilities that perform onsite vehicle maintenance activities.

Please review the draft very carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains. The draft permit contains the following significant items for this facility: Analytical monitoring changes: 1. Analytical monitoring parameters have been added to this permit. They include TSS, COD, and pH. 2. All analyticat monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as defined in Part 11 Section B. The permittee must also document the total precipitation for each event. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee trust submit a monitoring report indicating "No FIow" 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. 3. 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 prograin. 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. 4. 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. 5. You are responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote 1 of Tables 1, 4, and 5. a 6. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall parameter is in this permit; however.) 7.

Preventive Maintenance Premiere Fibers has developed a preventive maintenance program that involves regular'inspection and maintenance of storm water management devices and other equipment and systems. B. Inspections The Pollution Prevention Team members identified in Section IV will inspect the equipment and areas of the facility as discussed in Table 2. Complete and detailed records. of routine preventive maintenance inspections and associated corrective action, repairs or replacements will be provided to the Pollution Prevention Team leader, who will file there with other visual inspection records. C. Spill Prevention Arid Response Procedures Based on an assessment of - possible spill scenarios, the following material handling procedures, storage requirements, containment/diversion equipment, and spill cleanup procedures are specified because they will.minimize the potential for spills and in the event of a spill, enable proper and timely response. If a leak develops or a spill occurs, the employee who discovers the discharge will contact his/her supervisor who will in turn contact the Pollution Prevention Team leader. The Pollution Prevention Team will obtain the following information: • Location of the spill or leak, material involved, and source (valve, pipe, drum, etc.) • The approximate amount spilled or estimates of the discharge rate and the direction of discharge flow. The Pollution Prevention Team leader will dispatch facility personnel to the spill site to try to stop the leak and contain, divert and clean up the spill. D. Management Of Runoff Traditional storm water management practices that divert, infiltrate, reuse, or otherwise manage. storm water runoff so as to -reduce the discharge of pollutants do not appear to be reasonable and appropriate for the facility at this time.

Owner's Other Permits: • NCO088081 NC0001504117 2. General Observations: • This is a new permit application for an existing facility. • Materials stored outside include wooden pallets and storage trailers. FRO may want to see if this site could qualify for No Exposure. • There was a spinning lubricant release discovered in February 2007 adjacent to SDO-4. All liquid was vacuumed out via a vac -truck. In April 2007, soil was excavated and landfilled. Sample was taken to confirm there was no remaining material that posed a risk. 3. Impairment: The stream that this facility discharges to (Buffalo Creek) is not listed. However, it should be noted that approximately 3 miles downstream, Buffalo Creek converges with a segment of the Pee -Dee River that was listed on the 2008 draft 303(d) list for turbidity violations. This segment of the Pee -Dee River was just removed in 2008 from the list for previous Low DO violations. 4. Threatened and Endangered: No T&E aquatic species. The Red -Cockaded Woodpecker (bird) is an endangered species listed in the general area. 5. Analytical Monitoring Notes: One storm was sampled at 5 outfalls (SDO-1 through SDO-5). Parameters include Oil & Grease, TSS, BOD, TKN, P, and COD. Majority of results are well below current benchmarks. TSS at SDO-2 was over 3x the current benchmark. See table 1 in the attached application package. EPA's 2008 MSGP has monitoring for total Zinc, but Zinc is not used anywhere in the process. 6. Qualitative Monitoring_ Notes: None submitted. Revised Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring: 1. Adding TSS, pH, COD to the analytical monitoring requirements. TSS added based on high value at SDO-2. COD added based on one value of 79 mg/L, and because they had a release/spill. 2. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as defined in Part II 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. 3. 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 I and also immediately institute monthly monitoring for all parameters at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples. 4. The permittee is required to collect all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during representative storm events as defined in Part 11 Section B. Qualitative monitoring is required regardless of representative outfall status. 5. The permince is responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote 1 of Tables 1, 4, and 5. 6. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall parameter is in this permit, however.) Page 3 of 5 NCS000528 Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi=annually in order to coincide with analytical and qualitative monitoring. Other Proposed Changes to the Previous Permit: 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 TMDL 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 provided in Part II Section A. 2. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Management Plan have been specified in Part II Section A. More details regarding secondary containment are provided. 3. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been specified in Part II Section A. The plan must also be updated annually to include a list of significant spills and to certify that the outfalls do not contain non-stormwater discharges. 4.

Please review the draft very carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains. The draft permit contains the following significant items for this facility: Analytical monitoring chanzes: 1. Analytical monitoring parameters have been added to this permit. They include TSS, COD, and pI-I. 2. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as defined in Part II 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 takers a minimum of 60 days apart, as specified in Table 2. 3. 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 (I3MPs) ina 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 recluire a facility inspection within twc;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. 4. 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. 5. You are responsible for all monitoring until tie renewal permit is issued. See Footnote 1 of Tables 1, 4, and 5. 6. The flow reporting requirement has been. removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall parameter is in this permit; itowt ver.1 7.

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 TMDL 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 provided in Part II Section A. 2. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Management Plan have been specified in Part II Section A. More details regarding secondary containment are provided. 3. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been specified in Part II Section A. The plan must also be updated annually to include a list of significant spills and to certify that the outfaIIs do not contain non-stormwater discharges. 4. The facility must now implement a semi-annual Facility Inspection Program of the site's stormwater management controls as specified in Part It Section A. 5. , Information regarding the No Exposure Exclusion has been added to this draft permit. If industrial inaterials 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 NPI)ES stormwater discharge permit requirements. Additional information is provided in Part I Section A. Please submit : ny comments to me no later than thirty (30) days following your receipt of the draft.

Part II Page 4 of 10 Permit No. NCS000528 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 representative storm event. The required -monitoring will result in -a minimum of ten analytical samplings being conducted over the term of . the permit at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). A representative storm event is a storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall• and that is preceded by at least 72 hours in which no 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.

Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier One. 2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring for all parameters 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 the benchmark range, for all parameters at that outfall. 3. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee is required to submit a monthly monitoring report indicating "No Flow." 4. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. Part II Page 7 of 10 Permit No. NCS000528 During the term of this permit, 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 more than 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 that the permittee increase or decrease the monitoring frequency for the remainder of the permit; • :require the permittee to install structural stormwater/i,,`on� ls; + require the. perm ittee to implement other stormwater, contro I measures; or • require that the permittee implement site modifications to qualify,for the No Exposure Exclusion. - . '�• � ; This site discharges upstream of impaired waters experiencing problems with turbidity. If a Total Maxiin`m -Daily-Load (TMDL) is,approved�for this segment of Buffalo Creek and the Pee - Dee River, the permittee may be,required;to monitor for the pollutant(s) of concern in�the future and submit results to the Division of: Water'Qiality. The Division will consider the monitoring results in determining whether addit o2 pal. BMPs are needed to control the pollutant(s) of concern to the maximum extent practicable. Y"' If additional BMPs are needed tto achieve the require-d level of control, ttie'permittee will be 'required to (1) develop a strategy for implementing approprWc BMPs,`and (2) submit a timetable for incorporation of those BMPs into the permitted Storms water Pollution Prevention Plan. ` Part II Page 8 of 10 Permit No. NCS000528 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 in Table 4, during the analytical monitoring event. [If analytical monitoring is not required, the permittee still must conduct semi- annual qualitative monitoring.] Qualitative monitoring is for the purpose of evaluating the effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and assessing new sources of stormwater pollution. 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.

Owner's Other Permits: • NCO088081 • NC0001504117 2. General Observations: • This is a new permit application for an existing facility. • Materials stored outside include wooden pallets and storage trailers. FRO may want to see if this site could qualify for No Exposure. • There was a spinning lubricant release discovered in February 2007 adjacent to SDO-4. All liquid was vacuumed out via a vac -truck. In April 2007, soil was excavated and landfilled. Sample was taken to confirm there was no remaining material that posed a risk. 3. Impairment: The stream that this facility discharges to (Buffalo Creek) is not listed. However, it should be noted that approximately 3 miles downstream, Buffalo Creek converges with a segment of the Pee -Dee River that was listed on the 2008 draft 303(d) list for turbidity violations., This segment of the Pee -Dee River was just removed in 2008 from the list for previous Low DO violations. 4. Threatened and Endangered: No T&E aquatic species. The Red -Cockaded Woodpecker (bird) is an endangered species listed in the general area. 5. Analytical Monitoring Notes: One storm was sampled at 5 outfalls (SDO-1 through SDO-5). Parameters include Oil & Grease, TSS, BOD, TKN, P, and COD. Majority of results are well below current benchmarks. TSS at SDO-2 was over 3x the current benchmark. See table 1 in the attached application package. EPA's 2008 MSGP has monitoring for total Zinc, but Zinc is not used anywhere in the process. 6. Qualitative Monitoring Notes: None submitted. Revised Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring: 1. Adding TSS, pH, COD to the analytical monitoring requirements. TSS added based on high value at SDO-2. COD added based on one value of 79 mg/L, and because they had a release/spill. 2. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as defined in Part II 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. 3. 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 outfali 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. 4. The permittee is 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. 5. The permittee is responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote 1 of Tables 1, 4, and 5. 6. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall parameter is in this permit, however.) Page 3 of 5 NCS000528 G 7. Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi=annually in order to coincide with analytical and qualitative monitoring. Other Proposed Changes to the Previous Permit: 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 TMDL 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 provided in Part II Section A. 2. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Management Plan have been specified in Part II Section A. More ti details regarding secondary containment are provided. 3. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been specified in Part II Section A. The plan must also be updated annually to include a list of significant spills and to certify that the outfalls do not contain non-stormwater discharges. 4. The facility must now implement a semi-annual Facility Inspection Program of the site's stormwater management controls as specified in Part lI Section A. 5. Information regarding the No Exposure Exclusion has been added to this draft 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. Additional information is provided in Part I Section A. Discussions with permittee: Dewey Fulton, 276-645-9719, November 12, 2008 I . Q: What is contained in the silos just west of SDO-5?
