The Permittee shall ensure entryways and loading areas near manufacturing areas where dust track -out occurs are "swept daily, and that cleaning procedures are conspicuously posted within the affected work areas. (b.) The Permittee shall ensure routine evaluations by employee task groups of BMPs intended to reduce copper dust exposure and shall identify practices or areas in need of improvement. (c.) The Permittee shall implement BMPs to reduce fugitive dust, including but not limited to: moving fork truck and sweeper maintenance indoors; improving preventative maintenance for dust collectors; and handling and storing glycerin in reusable containers. For BMPs that have already been implemented, the Permittee shall ensure those practices are maintained as long as: 1. they effectively reduce fugitive dust, . (d.) The Permittee shall devise a Monitoring Plan for sampling runoff from segregated areas (for.,, example, the main traffic "area contiguous to the Copper Plant) to determine where the primary contributions of copper to stormwater occur at the. site. This Monitoring Plan shall be submitted to DWQ for review and approval within four months of the effective date of this permit [by February 28, 20071. The Monitoring Plan should require sampling (grab samples) be conducted ; during representative storm events: In addition to other parameters the Permittee deems useful, the Permittee shall analyze copper concentration, pH, and estimate flow volume'for each sampled event. If averages will be used, the plan should include criteria about how many samples are - required. If the Permittee will evaluate the proportion of contribution to the total mass of copper, in runoff from the entire site, measurements should be taken concurrently at stormwater discharge outfalls. Revisions to the Monitoring Plan shall not require a revision to the Stormwater Permit. Any 'revision of the Monitoring Plan after the initial review and approval of DWQ shall be accomplished by mutual agreement between DWQ and the Permittee. (e,) For areas the Permittee has determined to be primary contributions to copper in runoff from this facility, either through the above Monitoring Plan or by other means, the Permittee shall assess BMPs intended to reduce dust release and track -out from industrial activities, improve dust collection efficiency, reduce other sources of copper contamination, and/or capture and treat the runoff with engineered controls. The Permittee shall establish a schedule to implement selected BMPs and shall submit a status report to DWQ outlining progress two"and a half years following the effective date of this permit [by April 30, 20091.

Durham County . . Dear Mr. Reverri: In response to your renewal application for continued coverage under NPDES Stormwater permit : NCS000050, the Division of Water Quality (Division) is forwarding herewith the subject state - NPDES permit:. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the US Environmental Protection agency dated May9,1994 (or as subsequently amended).. This final permit contains the following minor changes from the draft permit sent to you on September 28, 2005: ' • The second paragraph of Part I, Section $has been revised, with standard language regarding . Water Quality Standards. The Monitoring Schedule table (Table 2., Section B.) has been revised to include the tenth sampling period that falls before the expiration date of the permit. In response to your comments received November 8; 2005, the copper and zinc benchmark values are derived from the EPA Multi -Sector Permit benchmarks for the primary metals industry.' (See Federal'. Register%Vol- 65, No. 210/October 30, 2000). The ethylene glycol benchmark is based on one-half of the Final Acute Value ('A FAV), a value the Division often uses to protect aquatic life from acute effects of., . toxicants in point source discharges. Because stormwater. events are sporadic in nature, several of our current stormwater benchmarks are based on values that take into account acute effects on aquatic life. Failure to complete the monitoring as required is a violation of the permit and any permit noncompliance . constitutes a violation of the Clean Water Act. Reference Part III, Section A, Item 2 "Duty to Comply", Item 9 'Penalties for Tampering " and Item 10 "Penalties for Falsification of Reports" of your permit for further information: :. If any parts,' measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in.this permit are unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty, (30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition, . conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of 'Administrative Hearings,. Post Office Drawer 27447, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7447. Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.
