Such discharges shall be controlled, limited and monitored as specified in this permit. Discharges covered in this permit are the stormwater discharges from the current airport operations as well as additional stormwater discharge points that may be created by further modification or expansion of airport operations. Current discharges 001, 002, 003, 004, 007, and 016 discharge to receiving waters designated as the Brier Creek Reservoir and unnamed tributaries to Brier Creek Little Brier Creek, Sycamore Creek, Haley's Branch in the Neuse River Basin. Permittee and all co-permittees listed on the following page or otherwise failing within the scope of a co-permittee under this permit are bound by the obligations that apply to their activities covered by the terms of this permit. SECTION B: PERMITTED ACTIVITIES Until this permit expires or is modified or revoked, the permittee and the co-permittees are authorized to discharge stormwater to the surface waters of North Carolina or separate storm sewer system which has been adequately treated and managed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this individual permit. All discharges shall be in accordance with the conditions of this permit. The permittee is only responsible for permit conditions relating to the discharge for which it is an operator. Any other point source discharge to surface waters of the state is prohibited unless it is an allowable non-stormwater discharge or is covered by another permit, authorization or approval.

The SPPP must include Best Management Practices (BMPs), economically reasonable and appropriate in light of current industry practices, that are selected, designed, installed, implemented and maintained in accordance with good engineering practices to eliminate or reduce pollutants in the permittee's discharge. The SPPP must identify all potential sources of pollution that may reasonably be expected to affect the quality of stormwater discharges; describe and ensure implementation of practices used to eliminate or reduce pollutants in stormwater discharges; and ensure compliance with the terms and conditions of this permit. 2. The SPPP shall include, at a minimum, the following items: a. The SPPP shall include a list identifying each area where industrial materials or activities are exposed to stormwater. Industrial materials or activities include, but are not limited to: material handling equipment or activities; industrial machinery; raw materials; industrial production and processes; intermediate products, by- products, final products and waste products. Material handling activities include, but are not limited to: the storage, loading and unloading, transportation, disposal, or conveyance of raw material, intermediate products, final products and waste products. b. The SPPP shall include a list of the name(s) of all surface waters that receive discharges from the permittee's site. The permittee must provide the size and description of wetlands or other special aquatic sites that may receive discharges from the airport. If there are discharges through any publicly owned or operated storm sewer system, the SPPP must identify the publicly owned or operated storm sewer system. C. The SPPP shall include the identity of any receiving water into which the permittee discharges. d. The SPPP shall include a list and locations where reportable spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred at the facility during the three previous years. e. The SPPP shall include the location(s) and/or descriptions where potential spills and leaks could occur that could contribute pollutants to stormwater discharges, and the corresponding outfall(s). For each area where industrial materials or activities are exposed to stormwater, the SPPP shall include a narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities, outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and waste disposal practices. The SPPP shall include a narrative description of the potential pollutants which could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall. Page 4 of 45 Permit No. NCS000589 g. The SPPP shall describe and assess the potential for the following activities and facility areas to contribute pollutants to stormwater discharges: aircraft, runway, ground vehicle and equipment maintenance and cleaning; aircraft and runway deicing operations (including apron and centralized aircraft deicing stations, runways, taxiways and ramps). Commercial tenants or other fixed based operations that conduct any of the operations listed in the previous sentience shall be considered co-permittees under this permit regardless of whether or not they are listed in Section C of Part I and must provide all of the above information to the Airport Authority for inclusion in the Airport Authority's SPPP. If deicing chemicals are used, the permittee must maintain a record of the types (including the Safety Data Sheets [SDS]) used and the monthly quantities of deicing material only, not the deicing and water mixtures, either as measured or estimated. This includes all deicing chemicals, not just glycols and urea (e.g., potassium acetate), because large quantities of these other chemicals can still have an adverse impact on receiving waters. The pollutant list must include all significant materials, including any hazardous substances or oil handled, treated, stored, or disposed of that have been exposed to stormwater in the 3 years prior to the date the SPPP was prepared or amended. h. Site Plan. The permittee shall prepare and maintain as a part of the SPPP, a site plan (the Site Plan), which shall provide a description of the physical facility and the potential pollutant sources which may be expected to contribute to contamination of stormwater discharges. The Site Plan shall contain the following: (i) The size of the property in acres. (ii) A general location map (USGS quadrangle map or appropriately drafted equivalent map), showing the facility's location in relation to transportation routes and surface waters within 1 mile of the site, the name of the receiving water(s) to which the stormwater outfall(s) discharges, or if the discharge is to a municipal separate storm sewer system, the name of the municipality and the ultimate receiving waters, and accurate latitude and longitude of the point(s) of discharge. (iii) A site map drawn to scale (including a distance legend) showing: the site property boundary, on -site and adjacent surface waters and known wetlands, industrial activity areas (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, storage tanks, fueling stations, vehicle and equipment maintenance and/or cleaning areas, machinery, access roads and tracks, transfer areas for substances in bulk, locations used for the treatment, storage or disposal of wastes), locations of all stormwater conveyances including ditches, pipes and swales; stormwater inlets and outfalls, building locations, locations of all existing structural and source control BMPs, the location and extent of significant structures and impervious surfaces, and the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious), and the drainage areas for each outfall. The site map (or alternatively the general location map) shall identify whether any receiving waters are impaired (on the state's 303(d) list of impaired Page 5 of 45 Permit No. NCS000588 waters) or if the site is located in a watershed for which a TMDL has been established, and what the parameters of concern are. (iv) Locations of any storage piles containing salt used for deicing or other commercial or industrial purposes. Storage piles of salt or piles containing salt used for deicing or other commercial or industrial purposes, must be enclosed or covered to prevent exposure to precipitation. The permittee must implement appropriate measures (e.g., good housekeeping, diversions, and/or containment) to minimize exposure resulting from adding to or removing materials from the pile. Piles do not need to be enclosed or covered only if stormwater from the pile is not discharged directly or indirectly to waters of the United States or discharges from the piles are authorized and controlled under another NPDES permit. (v) Locations of aircraft and runway deicing operations; fueling stations; aircraft, ground vehicle and equipment maintenance/cleaning areas; storage areas for aircraft, ground vehicles and equipment awaiting maintenance. BMPs. The SPPP shall contain a narrative description of the BMPs employed which control or minimize the exposure of significant materials to stormwater, including structural and nonstructural measures. The SPPP shall describe the type, location and implementation of all BMPs for each area where industrial materials or activities are exposed to stormwater. j. BMP Summary. The BMP Summary shall include a written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the selected site BMPs. 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. The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually k. Fea5ihility Study: The SPPP shall include a review of the technical and economic feasibility of changing the methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure of materials and processes to stormwater. Wherever practical, the permittee and co-permittees shall prevent exposure of all storage areas, material handling operations, and manufacturing or fueling operations. In areas where elimination of exposure is not practical, the SPPP shall document the feasibility of diverting stormwater runoff away from areas of potential contamination. Secondary Containment Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is required for: bulk storage of liquid materials; storage of Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority chemicals; and storage of hazardous substances, in order to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. A table or summary of all such tanks and stored materials and their associated secondary containment areas shall be maintained. If the secondary containment devices are connected directly to stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices (which shall be secured closed with a locking mechanism), and any stormwater that accumulates in the containment area Page 6 of 45 Permit No. NCS000589 shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the accumulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be uncontaminated by the material stored within the containment area. Records documenting the individual making the observation, the description of the accumulated stormwater, and the date and time of the release shall be kept by the permittee and/or co-permittee, as appropriate, for a period of five years. For facilities subject to a federal oil Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC), any portion of the SPCC plan fully compliant with the requirements of this permit may be used to demonstrate compliance with this permit. M. Unauthorized Discharges. Discharges to waters of the United States that are not authorized by this permit, or by another NPDES permit, or by other authorization or permission are unlawful and must be eliminated. The SPPP must include a certification by the permittee that all discharges (i.e., outfalls) have been tested or evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges, and that all unauthorized discharges have been eliminated. The permittee shall re -certify annually that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. The permittee may require and rely on each co-permittee to certify annually to the permittee that there have been no unpermitted discharges to the water of the United States. These certification statements will be signed in accordance with the requirements found in Part III, General Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 5 and must include: i The date of any testing and/or evaluation, ii A description of the evaluation criteria or testing method used, iii A list of the outfalls or onsite drainage points that were directly observed during the test, iv A description of the results of any test and/or evaluation for the presence of non-stormwater discharges, i.e., identification of unauthorized discharge(s) origin and composition, v The action(s) taken to eliminate unauthorized discharge(s), if any were identified. For example, a floor drain was sealed, a sink drain was rerouted to sanitary, or an NPDES permit application was submitted for a cooling water discharge. n. Spill Prevention and Response Plan. The permittee shall develop and implement a Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP), which shall be part of the SPPP and shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials inventory of the facility, and which the permittee shall provide to all co-permittees. Facility personnel (or the team) responsible for implementing the SPRP shall be identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP. A responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or exposure of materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP must be site stormwater specific. Therefore, 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. Response procedures must include notification of appropriate facility personnel, emergency agencies, and regulatory agencies, and Page 7 of 45 Permit No. NCS000588 procedures for stopping, containing and cleaning up spills. Employees who may cause, detect or respond to a spill or leak must be trained in these procedures and have necessary spill response equipment available. Include contact information for individuals and agencies that must be notified in the event of a spill in the Plan and in other locations where it will be readily available. Preventative Maintenance and Good HousgkgeepingProaram. A preventative maintenance and good housekeeping program (PMGH Program) shall be developed and implemented, and any affected co-permittee, provided that the co-permittee shall develop and implement its own PMGH Program to supplement the PMGH Program developed by the permittee, provided that such co-permittee PMGH Program shall be consistent with the permittee's PMGH Program. The permittee's PMGH Program shall list all stormwater control systems, stormwater discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial activity areas (including material storage areas, material handling areas, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads), all drainage features and structures, and existing structural BMPs; any co-permittee's PMGH Program shall include any such information as is relevant or required by the permittee's PMGH Program. All such PMGH Programs shall establish schedules of inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping activities of stormwater control systems, as well as facility equipment, facility areas, and facility systems that present a potential for stormwater exposure or stormwater pollution. Inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the PMGH Program. Timely compliance with the established schedules for inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping shall be recorded in writing and maintained. P. Employee Training. All plans shall include an employee stormwater training program. The permittee must include a schedule for all types of necessary training. Each co-permittee shall maintain its own training program and a records of its training program, which shall be consistent with the permittee's training program. All permittee and co-permittee employees who work in areas where industrial materials or activities are exposed to stormwater, or are responsible for implementing activities identified in the SPPP (e.g., inspectors, maintenance personnel), must participate in annual training. Training must cover the components and goals of the SPPP, and include spill response, good housekeeping, material management practices, and BMP operation and maintenance. The annual training shall be documented by the signature and printed or typed name of each person q. Responsible Party. The SPPP shall identify staff members (by name or title) responsible for developing, implementing, maintaining, revising and ensuring compliance with the SPPP. Specific responsibilities of each staff individual must be identified and listed in SPPP. Co-permittees shall provide the same information to the permittee in a timely fashion. r. 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 - Page 8 of 45 Permit No. NCS000589 annually). The Director may require increased inspections and SPPP re-evaluations as necessary. The inspection and any subsequent maintenance activities performed shall be documented, recording date and time of inspection, individual(s) making the inspection, and a description of the facility's stormwater control systems, equipment, and systems. The permittee can inspect any co-permittee facility in implementing this program, but co-permittees must develop and implement their own Preventive Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program as appropriate for their facility, but, in any event, if requested by the Director or the permittee. Implementation. The permittee shall implement the SPPP and each co-permittee shall implement such SPPP as it is required to prepare and implement under this permit. 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 a record of actions taken to implement BMPs associated with the industrial activities. Such documentation shall be kept on -site for a period of five years and made available to the Director or the Director's authorized representative immediately upon request. The permittee must maintain all BMPs in effective operating condition at all times. Failure to do so is a violation of this permit. The SPPP must describe procedures and a regular schedule for preventive maintenance of all BMPs, including the amount of time required for maintenance and repair, and what back-up practices are in place should a run-off event occur while a BMP is off-line. Nonstructural BMPs must also be diligently maintained (e.g., spill response supplies available, personnel trained). BMPs that are not operating properly must be repaired before the next anticipated storm event. If maintenance prior to the next storm event is not possible, maintenance must be completed as soon as possible, and the permittee must document the justification for the extended repair schedule. In the interim, the permittee must have back-up measures in place to ensure that the quality of the stormwater discharge is not diminished. The permittee must document all BMP maintenance and repairs. Dates of regular maintenance should be documented. For repairs, the date of deficiency discovery and the date on which the BMP was restored to full -function should also be documented. 4. SPPP Review and Amendment. a. The permittee and co-permittees shall review and amend the SPPP whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, or maintenance which has a significant impact on the discharge, or potential for discharge, of pollutants to surface waters; routine inspection or compliance evaluation determines deficiencies in BMPs; an inspection by a local, State, or Federal official determines that modifications to the SPPP are necessary; or there is a spill, leak or other release; or any time there is an unauthorized discharge. The permittee shall provide copies of any amended Plan to co-permittees SPPP to the Director and all co- permittees, and co-permittee shall provide a copy of any amended plan to permittee. Permittee may provide a copy of any co-permittee's plan to the Director. New co-permittees shall provide certification of non -in writing of receipt of the plan and the absence of stormwater discharges. b. All aspects of the SPPP 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 Page 9 of 45 Permit No. NCS000588 annual update shall include re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. Each annual update shall include a re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the BMPs listed in the BM Summary of the Stormwater Management SPPP. C. SPPP modifications must be made within 30 calendar days after discovery, observation or event requiring a modification. Implementation of new or modified BMPs must be initiated before the next storm event if possible, but no later than 60 days after discovery, or as otherwise provided or approved by the Division. The amount of time taken to modify a BMP or implement additional BMPs must be documented. d. If the SPPP modification is the result of a release or unauthorized discharge, the permittee and/or co-permittee as appropriate, must document a description of the. release, the date of the release; the circumstances leading to the release and actions taken in response to the release; and measures to prevent the recurrence of such releases. Such documentation shall be kept on -site for a period of five years and made available to the Director or his authorized representative immediately upon request. e. The Director may notify the permittee and co-permittees when the SPPP does not meet one or more of the minimum requirements of the permit. The notification will identify specific provisions of this permit that are not being met, and may include required modifications to any plans stipulated deadlines, additional monitoring requirements and special reporting requirements. The permittee and/or co- permittee as appropriate, shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with Part III, General Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 5) to the Director that the changes have been made. f. A signature and date is required for any revisions to the SPPP. 5. A co-permittee may develop a SPPP for the discharges from the co-permittee's own areas of the airport. Such SPPP shall be submitted to the Director and the permittee for review and approval. The permittee must retain a copy of the current SPPP required by this permit at the facility, and it must be immediately available at the time of an on -site inspection.

Evaluate whether excessive application of deicing chemicals occurs and adjust as necessary, consistent with considerations of flight safety. 3. Produce and implement a plan for the minimization of the release of materials used for deicing into the stormwater system. This plan shall address, as a minimum: a. The current use and practices employed at the airport for the control and minimization of entry of the deicing materials into the stormwater system; b. The means that may be practicable for modifying currentiuse and practices to collect the runoff that occurs during and following the application of the deicing materials; and i C. Feasible alternatives to the use of urea and glycol -based deicing chemicals to reduce the aggregate amount of deicing chemicals used and/or lessen the environmental impact, consistent with considerations of flight safety. 4. Airport authorities must determine annually the usage rate of deicing/anti-icing chemicals at their facility. The total amount of deicing/anti-icing chemicals used at an airport facility is the cumulative amount used by the Airport Authority and each co-permittee of the airport facility. In determining the fluid amounts of deicing/anti-icing chemicals used at a facility, operators should use the pre -dilution volume. S. Annual usage rate of deicing/anti-icing chemicals shall be reported annuilily to JhC state. The Division may require facilities that conduct aircraft and/or runway (including taxiways and ramps) deicing/anti-icing operations to apply for an individual permit. Page 31 of 45 Permit No. NCS000588 SECTION F: MINIMUM MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS Minimum monitoring and reporting requirements are as follows unless otherwise approved in writing by the Director of the Division of Water Quality: a. If a facility has multiple discharge locations with substantially identical stormwater discharges that are required to be sampled, the permittee may petition the Director for representative outfall status. If it is established that the stormwater discharges are substantially identical and the permittee is granted representative outfall status, then sampling requirements may be performed at a reduced number of outfalis. b. Qualitative monitoring for color, odor, solids, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow shall be performed at all stormwater discharge outfall locations. All qualitative monitoring shall be documented and records maintained with the SPPP Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls does not need to be performed during a representative storm event. Qualitative monitoring will be performed twice per year, once in the spring (April -June) and once in the fall (September -November). C. Stormwater samples collected to meet the analytical monitoring requirements of this permit shall be collected from a discharge resulting from a representative storm event unless otherwise specified. Failure to monitor storm events in accordance with the specified frequency shall constitute a violation of this permit. d. Detergents used outdoors shall be biodegradable. The pH of the discharge shall be in the range of 6 to 9 standard units. e. Analytical results from sampling during the final year of the permit term shall be submitted with the permit renewal application. This permit regulates stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity. Non- stormwater discharges allowable in the stormwater conveyance system include: (1) All other discharges authorized by an NPDES permit. (2) Uncontaminated groundwater, foundation drains, air -conditioner condensate without added chemicals, springs, waterline and fire hydrant flushing, water from footing drains, flows from riparian habitats and wetlands. (3) Discharges resulting from fire -fighting or fire -fighting training. g. Glycol and Urea Usage. The permittee shall be responsible for summarizing the amount of glycol (and urea if applicable) dispensed each month for de-icing/anti-icing activities, and submit this data on an annual basis. This information shall be submitted with the February monthly DM R, covering the previous calendar year. Page 32 of 45 Permit No. NCS000588 Section G: Electronic Reporting of Reports [G.S.143-215.1(b)] Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) and program reports and specify that, if a state does not establish a system to receive such submittals, then permittees must submit monitoring data and reports electronically to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The final NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was adopted and became effective on December 21, 2015. Note: This special condition supplements or supersedes the following sections within Part Ill of this permit (Standard Conditions for NPDES Permits): • Section B. (3.) Signatory Requirements • Section D. (6.) Records Retention • Section E. (1.) Discharge Monitoring Reports • Section E. (2.) Submitting Reports 1.Section Effective December 21, 2016, the permittee shall report discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application. Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and submitted electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted facilities to enter monitoring data and submit DMRs electronically using the internet. Until such time that the state's eDMR application is compliant with EPA's Cross -Media Electronic Reporting Regulation (CROMERR), permittees will be required to submit all discharge monitoring data to the state electronically using eDMR and will be required to complete the eDMR submission by printing, signing, and submitting one signed original and a copy of the computer printed eDMR to the following address: Central Files Division of Water Resources 1617 Mail Service Center I Raleigh, North Carolina 27649-1617 If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due to the facility being physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the households have broadband access, then a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements may be granted and discharge monitoring data may be submitted on paper DMR forms or alternative forms approved by the Director. Duplicate signed copies shall be submitted to the mailing address above. See "How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting" section below. Regardless of the submission method, the first DMR is due no later than 30 days from the date the facility receives the sampling results from the laboratory. 2. How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Re op rung The permittee may seek a temporary electronic reporting waiver from the Division. To obtain an electronic reporting waiver, a permittee must first submit an electronic reporting waiver Page 33 of 45 Permit No. NCS000588 request to the Division. Requests for temporary electronic reporting waivers must be submitted in writing to the Division for written approval at least sixty (60) days prior to the date the facility would be required under this permit to begin submitting monitoring data and reports. The duration of a temporary waiver shall not exceed 5 years and shall thereupon expire. At such time, monitoring data and reports shall be submitted electronically to the Division unless the permittee re -applies for and is granted a new temporary electronic reporting waiver by the Division. Approved electronic reporting waivers are not transferrable. Only permittees with an approved reporting waiver request may submit monitoring data and reports on paper to the Division for the period that the approved reporting waiver request is effective. Information on eDMR and the application for a temporary electronic reporting waiver are found on the following web page: 3. Signatory Requirements [Sunnlements Section B. (3.)
