We agree the simplest analytical monitoring protocol would be to monitor at SDO #1 despite the comingled flow and therefore agree to that monitoring approach for our permit and Plan. We are confident our existing BMPs are adequate measures to ensure industrial activity from the site does not contribute to stormwater pollution. As we begin this analytical monitoring process, if we encounter Tier One testing requirements, our intention would be to perform additional testing, i.e., at MP1, MP2, offsite run-on, etc. to identify the issues and work with DWQ to resolve them. Again, we are confident any analytical monitoring issues will not be the result of industrial activity and as such would be comfortable with monitoring at SDO #1 despite the comingled industrial activity potential. 1. Moot issue due to point #5 above which would catch any run-off at SDO#1. There are no activities to account for in this area, regardless, as it is just riprap and vegetative surface. Adjacent industrial activity is located within containment structures. 2. Moot issue due to point #5 above which would catch any run-off at SDO#1. The intention for monitoring at MP2 was to not get any comingled flow, but if we have occasion to sample at that point due to a Tier One scenario, we would be sampling the stormwater as it was flowing out of the outfall pipe from CB#3 just before it enters Ditch 2. 1 11 3. in the course of doing some annual SPPP training, the idea of modifying CS#16 was discussed as depicted on the drawing that was"recently submitted to you. The proposal was actually to route Ditch #3 into CB #16 (not as a flow from CB #16 to Ditch #3). Upon further investigation, the proposed modification served no purpose and the change was never made. The piping around CB#16 is now accurately depicted on the revised drawing attached to this email. The elevation of CB#16 is such that nothing flows into it. It basically serves as a junction box. There is no run-off from industrial activity that flows through Ditch #3. The ditch primarily receives stormwater flowing down into it from the higher elevation of undeveloped land outside the adjacent fence line. 4. There are no areas with runoff from industrial activity that are not depicted on the drawing. Hopefully, our responses will help you in your further consideration of the Stormwater Permit. If any questions, please let me know. Again, thanks for your time in this matter.

There are a couple of blue arrows from TCP in the south east section of that area that appear to be running towards ditch. What materials/activities occur in this area and how do you propose to account for any runoff? 2. Please specify in MP2 where you are proposing to sample? At the end of the outfall pipe of CB#3, or in Ditch 2, where CB #3 and Ditch 2 commingle? If you propose to sample after they have commingled, does any off -site stormwater run into Ditch 2? 3. There appears to bean area of TCP that runs to CB#16, which appears to have an outlet pipe entering Ditch 3. If this is the case, what materials/activities occur in the area draining to CB#16 and could you sample the end of the outlet pipe from CB#16 entering Ditch 3 if deemed necessary? 4. Are there any other industrial stormwater runoff areas that are not represented on the site plan provided? 5. Does Trinity Manufacturing feel another option may be to sample at SDO Outfall 1 and possibly Ditch 3, and if parameter issues arise, then may offsite run-on may be sampled?

V. Hogan Drive P.O. Box 1519 Hamlet, NC 28345 910-582-5650 910-582-4433 (fax) This letter serves as our response to the draft permit No. NCS000233. Again, thank you for agreeing to our request to extend the draft response due date until January 31, 2012. We have reviewed the draft permit and discussed our questions with both your office and with our consultant. What follows is our comments regarding the draft permit. We are proposing the following modifications to our permit: 1. Emergency shower and eyewash use be added to allowable non-stormwater discharges described in Part V1, Item 2(c). 2. Two monitoring points upstream in lieu of the one monitoring point at the main Swale SDO point (stormwater discharge outfall). Discussion of each proposed modification 1. At our site, we have numerous emergency showers/eyewash stations. Pursuant to OSHA and ANSI standards, emergency showers are located in a manner to facilitate quick access and to prevent hindrance to that access. Although the majority of our showers are located in containment pits, a few are located outside of containment in dirt areas to meet the criteria of being readily accessible and minimize delay time for use. Part VI Definitions, Item 2 defines Allowable Non-Stormwater Discharges. Our Emergency Showers are connected to the potable water supply. They are tested monthly as required by OSHA/ANSI standards. Such discharges from the emergency showers are included as allowable in Item 2 paragraph (b). However, in the event of an actual need to use the shower in an emergency to wash off a contaminant, the discharge is not specifically allowed. We are proposing that Item 2, Paragraph (c) be modified to include these discharges as allowable as follows: (c) Discharges resulting from fire -fighting, fire -fighting training, or emergency use of an emergency shower or eye wash. 2. According to the site plan that we submitted with our Stormwater renewal application in August 2011, we have one SDO (stormwater discharge outfall) associated with industrial activity that would require monitoring. The SDO is the Ditch#4 outfall of the main swale that cuts through our property. The main swale is labeled with Ditch #2 and Ditch #4 on the plan. Trinity Manufacturing Inc. Response to Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit No. NCS000233 01-26-12 Page 2 of 2 When we expanded our plant site recently, we built over a drainage ditch utilized by the railroad for its spur tracks, which service 3 companies, including us. Since the railroad had the right of way, we had to incorporate their stormwater drainage into our plant site drainage system, which starts at the Ditch #2 inlet and ultimately discharges out of the Ditch 44 outfall. In addition, one of the other companies across the spur discharges stormwater through our site via the railroad drainage. ' The industrial areas of our site are topographically and operationally laid out into two distinct areas. On the attached site plan (revised from the one submitted with the renewal application), the original area is called TMI, the other is called TCP. In the original TMI area, stormwater was collected in ditches leading to underground piping grates and eventually discharged via a single pipe onto our property where it became sheet flow. When the TCP plant was recently built, stormwater at TCP was designed to flow into a.det_ention pond, which then discharges -into Ditch #4. The discharge p tnio of the TMI pipe was extended to discharge directly into -Ditch #2, which subseq eu ntly flows into Ditch #4. - - L � Prior to receiving the draft permit, it seemed appropriate to identify the outfall of Ditch #4 as the SDO monitoring point for both operational areas since the monitoring required was expected to be only qualitative in nature. However, the draft permit is requiring analytical monitoring that was heretofore not required. After consultation with our stormwater consultant, we believe that it is not.appropriate for Trinity to perform analytical monitoring for an outfall associated with stormwater comingled with other companies' industrial activities. We propose that the intent of stormwater management is best served by monitoring the outfall points of the discharge pipes from TMI and the TCP detention pond where they enter Ditch 42 and Ditch #4, respectively. The advantages are that they are easily identified sampling points and we can narrow the search for any potential contaminants to the operational area served by the discharge pipe being monitored. r The attached site map indicates the location of the proposed two monitoring points: MPl at the TCP detention pond pipe outlet and MP2 at the TMI pipe outlet. To further enhance your understanding of the site, we have also included an aerial photo.-- -- Although we had previously discussed concerns with you for finding a lab that can perform EPA method 9020B to test for one of our parameters, we have since located two labs that can perform the test, so we have decided not to pursue any further discussion on that matter at this juncture. We look forward to hearing from you on this matter. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me anytime at 910-419-6566.

Hogan Drive P.O. Box 1519 Hamlet, NC 28345 910-582-5650 910-582-4433 (fax) Within the 30 day period of our draft NPDES individual stormwater permit, which we received on 12-1-2011, we are submitting a request to extend the draft comment period from 30 days to 60 days (January 31, 2012). The reason is as follows: 1. We have had an individual stormwater permit since at least 1994. Other than a one-time initial analytical monitoring, we have never been required to do analytical monitoring by the permit, just qualitative. This permit requires analytical monitoring. 2. When we expanded our plant recently, we built over a drainage ditch utilized by the railroad for its spur tracks to 3 companies (ours is one of the companies off the spur). Since the railroad had a right of way, we had to incorporate their stormwater drainage into our plant site drainage system. In addition, one of the other companies across the spur from our site, drains stormwater through our site via the railroad drainage. 3. Given the layout of our facility, the potential contribution of other industrial site pollutants to our outfall, and the new monitoring requirements, we decided it would be prudent to engage a stormwater consultant to advise us on any issues that we may need to address with your office during the draft comment period and to help us develop a better understanding of how to manage the permit requirements. Unfortunately, the consultant is not available to visit our site until January 5"' due to his current schedule and the holiday period. We will then await a report that will be due within 5 days of his visit. We look forward to hearing from you on this matter.

Hogan Drive Hamlet, North Carolina 28345 Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit Permit No. NC5000233 Trinity Manufacturing, Inc. Richmond County Dear Mr. Perreault: Dee Freeman Secretary Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. Please review the draft very carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains. The draft permit contains the following significant changes from this facility's current permit: _Analytical monitoring changes: 1. Analytical monitoring parameters have been added to this permit. 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 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. 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. 7. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall parameter is in this permit, however.)

Perreault Trinity Manfacturing, Inc. Permit No. NCS000233 8. Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with analytical and qualitative monitoring. Monitoring for TPH has replaced Oil & Grease. 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. Otherpermit changes: 1. Additional guidance is provided about the Site PIan 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 I1 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. The facility must now implement a semi-annual Facility Inspection Program of the site's stormwater management controls as specified in Part II 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. 6, In addition to submitting two signed copies of DMRs to Central Files, a separate signed Annual Summary DMR copy must be submitted to the local DWQ Regional Office by March 1 of each year. Please submit any comments to me no later than thirty (30) days following your receipt of the draft. Comments should be sent to the address listed at the bottom of this page. If no adverse comments are received from the public or from you, this permit will likely be issued in about two months.

Hope you are having a good week so far. Attached is the regional office comments page for Trinity Mfg. Sorry for not getting this back to you sooner. You and I had previously discussed the possibility of revising the analytical monitoring requirements or parameters for this facility. I'm not really sure the best way to handle this one. I can understand the facility's resistance to analytical monitoring, but I also recognize the reasons to have them do it. We can discuss further if you want. Oh and do you need the entire staff report page? For the past few renewals I've just this time and kept the rest for our files.

Hope you are having a good Monday? I am reviewing NCS000233 Trinity Manufacturing in Richmond county. They make Chloropicrin - a soil fumigant. Yum. I've sent you the staff report for the permit and the draft permit in the mail and attached it here. The previous permit didn't have any monitoring in it so I have added SOD, COD, pH, Cholorpicirin (no benchmark) and chloride. 1 If you could go on a site visit, that would be great. Its not a super hurry - the permit needs to be renewed on March 1, 2011 so we have a few months before it,has to go to notice etc. (about a 2 month process). Let me know if you have any questions.

NCS000233 Revised Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring: 1. Previous permit had no analytical monitoring. Added pH, COD, BOD, Chloropicrin, 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 11 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 I 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. 5. 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. 6. The permittee is responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote l 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.) 8. 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 Il 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. The facility must now implement a semi-annual Facility Inspection Program of the site's stormwater management controls as specified in Part II 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: Karen Messana 910-419-6566, Spoke to David Rose, Plant Manager (910) 995- 2485, Sept 30, 2011 1. Q: What is your manufacturing process? Pag,- of 8 NCS000233 •' • N a. ANSWER: Chloropicrin b. Receive dry salt. Electrosis process. Purify brine solution. Add electricity to break NaCl bond — break to form Na+, Cl OH H+, then the sodium goes through a membrane to make NaOH, then they make C12 and Hz Gasses. c. Downstream processes are they make NaCl bleach — NaOH and 02 gas to make NaOCI — bleach. Another is chloropicrin: it is a soil fumigate — and used as part of a blend in that industry— on high value added crops (strawberries, tobacco, potatoes) — it is a herbicide, nematocide and fungicide. Different amounts are used in different blends (but they don't make the blends there). d. They make chloropicrin and bleach. e. They make saltwater — they recycle it. They have a brine purge. They treat and sell some and discharge some to the POTW. They do not release any chloride gas, they create to use it in their product. It is consumed as quickly as it is produced in the chemical production. f. The only chlorine that exists is in the chlorine gas pipe. But it is a gas. g. The only liquid or solid that is made is the brine solution. Chloropicrin — is a liquid. It is stored in storage tanks and loaded into rail cars or isotanks. It's a small storage tank that is in a frame so it can be loaded on ships. They also store in storage tanks and load onto tanker trailers — a tank truck. 2. Does SW discharge? a. A lot of the site is diked, checked and then discharged to the POTW under normal operating procedures. 3. How do you check it? a. Depends on where it comes from. Check pH, look for bleach, and chloropicrin. The things that it could have in each, they check that before it is discharged and sent to the POTW. 4. Do they ever discharge out and outfall? a. Hardly over - Only in a hurricane. They could pump over the wall. b. The last hurricane they had to pump across the wall. Once or twice a year. c. They have to notify a manager, and get it signed off on. d. That procedure is the same whether its at night or on the weekend, or whatever. There is always someone there. e. About 90% of the site is in containment. 5. Do you do any testing in the stuff that goes over the wall? a. That water is tested for pH, odor, color, foam, (all the qualitative monitoring procdures). 6. Have you ever had any spills? a. No reportable spills of anything. 7. How long have you been in existence? a. 1989 — 22 years. Page 6 , f ;> N CS000233 8. Q What activities do you conduct outside? a. Area 1l : What kind of empty drums and totes? Surfactant, empty totes -used to move material around, used to move bleach. Surfactant used to add to chloropicrin - C13CNO2 - (5%) — application technique for use in PVC piping for nurseries. b. Area 3: Empty drums ofNitromethane. Nitromethane: raw material forchloropicrin process. Liquid. Full drums are stored inside in a contained area. They have not had a spill outside of containment. Its stored in drums, then moved to a process tank. The offloading is done in different contained area: its covered, but no walls: set a pallet of drums there where they pump the drums into a daytank. Secondary containment around that area. _. c. Area 2: not exist now. Area 4: Spill containment: a three piece pan, and there is pan that goes between the rails, that is sloped to an outlet that — it bolts together and spans the track. In the process of connecting or connecting piping then the containment will catch it. Any spills in the containment, or even rain, they drain to a sump, are piped to another diked area, and it is pumped into the POTW. Shipping chloropicrin by rail. Occasionally can receive chlorine by rail (comes as compressed gas liquid). They have historically produced sodium sulphanolate — but are getting out of that business. They will stop by the end of the year. e. Area 5: Used equipment. What kind? Not a whole lot — sometimes there could be something laid down in that area. That area does not get a lot of equipment. The storage containers are out of the weather. Area 7: Sodium sulfanolate (SANS) —there is a filter system. There is dumpster that any filtrate is dumped into. The dumpster is covered and leakage area is curbed and goes to a collection system (sump, goes to waste neutralization system, then to POTW). Within area 7, there is a salt conveyer— but it is curbed and goes to the sump the potw. It is not covered by if it rains he says it won't overflow. 9. Is there any loading/unloading outside? a. No. Secondary containment for railtruck. All the loading for trucks also is curbed/secondary containment, sent to POTW. 10. Any industrial processes vent to roofs? If so, what is venting? What are air pollution control activities? a. No. 11. Please tell me about the other chemical releases you have to the environment. a. None. 12. Have you ever done any analytical testing? If so, what for? Please send it to us. a. No. they don't have any. Its hard to get a sample out of the outfall — either it rains a lot and there is a lot out the outfalI, or hardly any. Most of site is crush and run. 13. Some residential neighbors seem quite concerned. Have you done anything to contact them and if so, what? a. They have never had any concern from the site. They had a call from someone concerned about drivers, but they spoke to her. 14. What is the retention pond for? a. Was built for construction, and then they just kept it.

The permittee shall re -certify annually that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. 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 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. Wherev r practical, the permittee shall prevent exposure of all storage areas, materia ling operations, and manufacturing or fueling operations. I ea a eli ination of exposure is not practical, the stormwater manage nt n ument the feasibility of diverting the storrwater runoff away o reas o otential contamination. (b) Secondary Containment Require d ords. Secondary containment is required for: bulk storage of li d e ; storage in any amount of Section 313 of Title III of the Superf en ents and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority chemicals; sto any amount of hazardous substances, in order to prevent a its contaminating stormwater runoff. A table or summary of all an stored materials and their associated secondary containment area tained. If the secondary containment devices are connected to st wate veyance systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually ivated Ives or other similar devices (which shall be secured closed with a echanism), and any stormwater that accumulates in the containment all 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 years. (c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management Practices (BMP) 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 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. 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 the team) 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 Part II Paz 2 of I .) Permit No. NCS000233 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, an oil Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure plan (SPCC) may be a component of the SPRP, but may not be sufficient to completely address the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may be incorporated by reference into the SPRP. 4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance and good housekeeping program shall be developed. The program shall list all stormwater control systems, stormwater discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial activity areas (incl ding material storage areas, material handling areas, disposal areas, process areas tng and unloading areas, and haul roads), all drainage features and structure d 'ng st ctural BMPs. The program shall establish schedules of inspecti nt and housekeeping activities of stormwater control systems, as w facilit quipment, facility areas, and facility systems that present a potential for st exposure or stormwater pollution. Inspection of material handling areas and r c I ng schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program. Tim c e with the established schedules for inspections, maintenance, and house ps be recorded in writing and maintained in the SPPP. 5. Employee Training. Trai oMft shall be developed and training provided at a minimum on an annual b ct y personnel with responsibilities for: spill response and cleanup, preventat' a main cc activities, and for any of the facility's operations that have the potenti o cont inate stormwater runoff. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for impl a training shall be identified, and their annual training shall be documented signature of each employee trained. 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. All aspects of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. The annual update shall include an updated list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous three years, or the notation that no spills have occurred. The annual update shall include written re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. Each annual update shall include a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the BMPs listed in the BMP Summary of the Stormwater Management Plan. The Director may notify the permittee when the Plan does not meet one or more of minimum requirements of the permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee shall Part II Pad : 3 of �,1 Permit No. NCS000233 submit a time schedule to the Director for modifying the Plan to meet minimum requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3) to the Director that the changes have been made. 8. 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 required in Part II B and C of this permit. 9. Implementation. The permittee shall impleme a Impl entation of the Plan shall include documentation of all monitorin a re a spections, maintenance activities, and training provided to employees, 'n - ding t og of the sampling data and of actions taken to implement BMPs associat a industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance activities. Such doc do 0all be kept on -site for a period of five years and made available to the Di to irector's authorized representative immediately upon request. Part I' I'age 1 of 10 Permit No. NCS000233 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. The time between this storm event and the previous storm event measuring greater than 0.1 inches must be at least 72 hours.

Form 9046 — Stormwater Visual Summary 08-02-11 Trinity Manufacturing Inc. • Stormwater Discharge Permit NCS 000233 Best Management Practices (BMPs) Best Management Practices for the site include a combination of operational and source control BMPs. These BMPs have been implemented to minimize precipitation contact with potentially contaminating activity, contain and treat precipitation contacting industrial activity, and preemptively provide systems and equipment to deal with unanticipated occurrences. General BMPs implemented throughout the facility to achieve stormwater pollution prevention goals include: • Vegetative areas are created and maintained to prevent erosion and sedimentation. • Loading and unloading operations are either covered and/or done in areas designed to catch stormwater which may contact these operations as well as any minor drips associated with connecting or disconnecting. • Storage of all bulk liquid materials at Trinity is provided with secondary containment. Stormwater collected in these secondary containment areas is treated and discharged through the sanitary sewer in accordance with its POTW IUP permit. • Impervious surface are sloped to catch basins and routed to a stormwater detention pond for the majority of industrial activity. Use of the stormwater detention pond is incorporated in the Spill Response Plan • Concrete pad areas are sloped and laid out to minimize or prevent stormwater run-off into areas containing significant materials associated with industrial activity. • Significant material areas are included as part of facility inspections to identify improvement opportunities. Best Management Practices (BMPs) address potential pollutant areas that have been identified during facility inspections. The BMPs are designed to help reduce the potential for stormwater pollution. BMP categories considered include: Flow Diversion, Exposure Minimization, Mitigate Practices, Sediment and Erosion Prevention, Infiltration Practices, and Other Preventive Practices such as Good Housekeeping, Preventive Maintenance, Visual Inspections, Spill and Stormwater Plan Training, and Documentation. Area 1- Storage of drums containing surfactant liquids and non -hazardous waste as well as storage of empty totes and drums. 9 • Materials are stored in this area only on a temporary basis. While stored in this area, containers are readily visible and any leakage or run-off can be dealt with quickly. • Drums of liquid surfactant are used on a seasonal basis. These inventories are minimized and managed to eliminate carry-over of inventory between seasons. • Drumming of dry materials in the area is scheduled around weather forecasts and covered during periods of unanticipated precipitation. Following completion, the area is,swept to prevent contamination. Area 3- Storage of empty nitromethane metal drums. • Drums are pumped until empty and the bung caps are re -secured before being temporarily stored while awaiting pickup. • Empty drums are picked up for recycling on a frequent and regular basis. Area 4- Railcar loading/unloading stations. • Spill containment (railcar pans) is included at each railcar loading station. The pans are piped to a treatment tank, treated if necessary, and discharged to the sanitary . sewer. • Area lighting and video cameras facilitate enhanced surveillance of loading operations above and beyond operator attendance. • Loading operations are instrumented and automated to minimize opportunities for overfilling. Area 5- Storage area for used equipment. • Used equipment stored in the area is decontaminated prior to its storage. • Storage containers allow small, primarily metal, parts to be housed out of the weather minimizing opportunity for the formation of rust. • Area 7- SANS and brine filter waste collection dumpster and salt unloading. • Dumpster is set in a curbed area to allow collection of any leakage. • Dumpster is kept covered to prevent stormwater contact. • Salt conveying system is inspected and cleaned as part of the preventative maintenance program i • • Trinity Manufacturing Inc. Stormwater Discharge Permit NCS 000233 Significant Industrial Activity Changes Changes in industrial activity at the site since the previous stormwater permit application includes construction of additional production facilities named Trans Carolina Products (TCP). These facilities include a chlor-alkali process involving electrolysis of a sodium chloride solution. The remaining process chemistry is similar to what has been historically performed at the original Trinity Manufacturing Inc. (TMI) facility.

We will take them into account as we revise the facility's permit this spring. Kelly Johnson Ladson Brearley, Sr. wrote: Kelly Johnson N.C. Division of Water Quality 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh N.C. 27699-1617 Dear Ms./Mr. Kelly Johnson, This message is for the members of the N.C. Division of Water Quality (N.C. Environmental Management Commission) in regards to the NPDES Stormwater Permit to discharge Stormwater associated with industrial activities at a facility located at Trinity Manufacturing, 11 EV Hogan Dr., Hamlet, N.C. 26345, Richmond County. The facility discharges to waters designated as South Prong Falling Creek, within the Yadkin River Basin. Water is a very precious commodity these days. Falling Creek used to be a source of water for the city of Rockingham, NC. Hitchcock Creek is now Rockingham's source of water. I live on the Hitchcock Creek part of Ledbetter Lake and thereby am aware that this body of water has certain contaminants. Rockingham may need Falling Creek in the future. Moreover, my mother and her siblings swam in a lake on EV Hogan Dr. long before there was such a road. My siblings and I, and our relatives who lived in the area where Trinity is now located, swam in lakes nearby when we were growing up (quite a while ago as I am nearing 70 years old.) There is much surface water, not to mention groundwater as well, to be contaminated by stormwater from a company such as Trinity Manufacturing. From the information that I have been able to gather, Trinity is currently, or soon will be, producing many of the products that were stored in the building in Apex, NC, that exploded recently and caused evacuations of the citizens of Apex, NC. Relatives who currently live near Trinity Manufacturing have been warned that if they hear the alarms go off at Trinity, or see a greenish mist in the air, to get out of there and don't stop until they are at least thirty miles away. Furthermore, I recall from the media that the people who work with environmental controls and the citizens in the Apex area were concerned that runoff from rain would cause pollution to the bodies of water around Apex, NC, and to the receiving bodies of water as a consequence of the pollution from the Apex explosion. What happened at Apex was not a planned event, but one might say that it was the lack of planning and foresight that allowed it to.happen and set up the area for a hazardous event. I am not at all certain that citizens'o£ Richmond County are safe from air pollution from Trinity. If the air can be polluted by a company, the water can be polluted as well. It may seem like old wives tales to you, and of course I cannot prove it at this point; but there is something of possible significance that I am concerned about and that I mention because older citizens have the responsibility to see that our little ones, at least, are protected from the harm that unthinking and uninformed people can allow to come upon them. I, personally I of 2 2/9/2007 7:54 AM Re: Draft Permit Number NCS000233 w. know of 3 young relatives of mine that have medical problems regarding the origins of these problems! Dismiss them if you but I cannot get them out of my conscious thinking: that I have suspicions think it appropriate, 1. A second grader at Richmond Primary School (located very near Trinity), who has lived even closer to Trinity all his life, had a somewhat mysterious brain tumor last year. He was recently in,the Children's Hospital at Chapel Hill with complications from his brain surgery. 2. Another young relative, who is also a student at Richmond Primary School, and who lives approximately a mile from the school and Trinity, will be going to Chapel Hill shortly to visit the same Neurologist as the other child above for treatment of an already diagnosed abnormality. 3. Sadly, another very young relative of mine, whose mother taught at Richmond Primary School while she was pregnant with this young baby, was born with a birth defect that we have not seen before in our family. Can I say that there is a relationship to what is in the air in that area to the sicknesses in these three children? Of course, I cannot with certainty say such a thing. Can I say that stormwater discharges will cause problems for our citizens? I cannot be sure of course; but I, for one, think that it could and most likely will. But you, however, who have accepted the responsibility for overseeing the water quality in our great state of North Carolina, certainly have more resources and information to look into such matters. I can put these matters before you to hopefully help you to think deeply about permitting pollutants into our waters. "What goes around, comes around" is nowhere more true than in the way water moves above and below our earth. Thank you for the opportunity to express my concerns.- Thank you also for taking your job seriously, as I know it indeed is a grave responsibility fraught with much need for thought and probably for going the second or third mile. Anyone who helps to keep our wonderful state of North Carolina clean and healthy is worthy of many thanks from her citizens!

He sent a draft permit to the applicant in July of 2005 requesting comments. I talked with the applicant yesterday, and they did not have any issues with the draft. This email is just to inform you that I will be sending it to public comment in the next week or so. I have attached the draft permit. The only changes I made were for the relevant dates.

PO Box 1519 Hamlet, North Carolina 29345 Dear Mr. Perreault: July 28, 2005 RECEIVED JUL 0 1 2005 OENR - FAYEi'IENILLE REGIONAL OFFICE Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit Permit No. NCS000233 Trinity Manufacturing, Inc. Richmond County Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. Please review the draft very carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains. The draft permit contains the following significant changes from this facility's current permit: • Total Flow monitoring has been removed. The permit still requires that Total Rainfall amount and Rainfall Event Duration be recorded for each sampling event. This change is also based on the Division's revised strategy for stormwater monitoring in renewal permits. Please note that the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) site map must include drainage area for each outfall in acres and the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious (see Part II, Sec. A). • All analytical monitoring has changed from annual to semi-annual (once in the spring and once in the fall). This change is based on the Division's revised strategy for stormwater monitoring in renewal permits and makes stormwater discharge sampling frequency consistent with qualitative monitoring. Please note that analytical monitoring must still be performed during a representative storm event (whereas qualitative does not). • Instead of "cut-off concentrations", the Division has incorporated benchmark values into the permit. These benchmarks are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for your facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). If any measurements exceed benchmark values, your facility should evaluate the effectiveness of its Best Management Practices (BMPs), review and/or update the SPPP, and document any efforts to address stormwater contamination (see Part II, Sections B and D). Please submit any comments to me no later than thirty (30) days following your receipt of the draft. Comments should be sent to the address listed at the bottom of this page. If no adverse comments are received from the public or from you, this permit will likely be issued in about two months. If you have any questions or comments concerning this draft permit, contact me at (919) 733-5083 x 537 or jonathan.diggs@ncmail.net. Sincerely, anathan A.

Previous permits requirements: did not include analytical monitoring and qualitative monitoring report did not generate major concern. Stormwater from containment areas drains to local sanitary sewer system. Please comment if there is a concern. Basis for other requirements: Monitoring frequency for vehicle maintenance changed to semi-annually in years 1-5. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring (vehicle maintenance) have been added to provide incentive for facilities to incorporate BMPs to reduce pollutants that exceed benchmark values. These benchmarks are not cut-off concentrations for monitoring, nor are they permit limits. Total Flow monitoring has been removed (vehicle maintenance). The permit still requires Total Rainfall amount and Rainfall Event Duration be recorded for each sampling event. This change is also based on the Division's revised strategy for stormwater monitoring in renewal permits. Please note that the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) site map must include drainage area for each outfalI in acres and the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious (see Part II, Sec.

Proper operation and maintenance also includes adequate laboratory controls and appropriate quality assurance procedures. This provision requires the operation of back-up or auxiliary facilities or similar systems which are installed by a permittee only when the operation is necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of the permit. It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the condition of this permit. a. Definitions (1) "Bypass" means the known diversion of stormwater from any portion of a stormwater control facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility. (2) "Severe property damage" means substantial physical damage to property, damage to the control facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss caused by delays in production. b. Bypass Not Exceeding Limitations. The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause limitations to be exceeded, but only -if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation.

(24- hour notice). d. Prohibition of Bypass Bypass is prohibited and the Director may take enforcement action against a permittee for bypass, unless: r (1) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property damage; (2) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary control facilities, retention of stormwater or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime or dry weather. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup controls should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and (3) The perminm submitted notices as required under Paragraph c. of this section. The Director may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its adverse effects, if the Director determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above in Paragraph d. of this section. 4. Upsets a. Definition "Upset " means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment or control facilities, inadequate treatment or control facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation. b. Effect of an Upset. An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final administrative action subject to judicial review. C. Conditions Necessary for a Demonstration of Upset A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate, through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that:. - (i) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset; Individual Stormwater Page A13 (2) The permitted facility was at the time being properly operated; and (3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II, E.
