PART II MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR
PERMITTED DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
The permittee shall develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SPPP). The SPPP shall be maintained on site unless exempted from this requirement by
the Division. The SPPP is public information in accordance with Part 111, Standard
Conditions, Section E, paragraph 3 of this permit. The SPPP shall include, at a minimum,
the following items:
1. Site Overview. The Site Overview shall provide a description of the physical facility
and the potential pollutant sources that may be Apected�to contribute to
contamination of stormwater discharges. The SiteteOverview-s hall contain the following:
(a) A general location maP(USGS quadrangle, \onappropriately drafted equivalent
map), showing the facility's location in relation to transportation routes and surface
waters; the name of the receiving waters �to.whieh the stormwater outfalls
discharge, or if the discharge is to a�municipal separate storm sewer system, the
name of the municipality and the ultimate -receiving waters; and accurate latitude
and longitude of the points ofstormwater discharge associated with industrial
activity. The general loc �o ,map�r alternatively the site map) shall identify
whether any receiving �waters -are impaired (on the state's 303(d) list of impaired
waters) or if the site is located'in�a watershed for which a TMDL has been
established, and what the parameters of concern are.
(b) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities,
outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and
waste disposal practices. A narrative description of the potential pollutants that
could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall.
(c) A site map drawn at a scale sufficient to clearly depict: the site property boundary;
the stormwater discharge outfalls; all on -site and adjacent surface waters and
wetlands; industrial activity areas (including storage of materials, disposal areas,
process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads); site topography and
finished grade; all drainage features and structures; drainage area boundaries and
total contributing area for each outfall; direction of flow in each drainage area;
industrial activities occurring in each drainage area; buildings; stormwater Best
Management Practices (BMPs); and impervious surfaces. The site map must
indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious, and the site map
must include a graphic scale indication and north arrow.
(d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants during the previous three (3) years
and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts.
Part 11 Page 1 of 15

Permit No. NCS000174
(e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of
non-stormwater discharges. The permittee shall re -certify annually that the
stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater
discharges. The certification statement will be signed in accordance with the
requirements found in Part II1, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3.
2. Stormwater Management Strategy. The Stormwater Management Strategy shall
contain a narrative description of the materials management practices employed which
control or minimize the stormwater exposure of significant materials, including
structural and nonstructural measures. The Stormwater Management Strategy, at a
minimum, shall incorporate the following:
(a) Feasibility Study. A review of the technical and economic feasibility of changing
the methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure
of materials and processes to rainfall and run on,Flbws. Wherever practical, the
permittee shall prevent exposure of all storage areasmaterial handling operations,
and manufacturing or fueling operations. Iareas where elimination of exposure is
not practical, this review shall document -the feasibility of diverting the stormwater
run-on away from areas of potential contamination.
() b Secondary Containment Requireme ts aid Records. Secondary containment is
required for: bulk storage.of liquid materials; storage in any amount of Section 313
of Title II I of the Superf n. Am"endiments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water
priority chemicals; and storage,in any amount of hazardous substances,. in order to
prevent leaks and spills from�contiaminating stormwater runoff. A table or summary
of all such tanks andlItored materials and their associated secondary containment
areas shall be mainta ned..Irthe secondary containment devices are connected to
stormwater co.nveyance,systems, 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 now, prior to release of the accumulated stormwater.
Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be uncontaminated by any
material. Records documenting the individual making the observation, the
description of the accumulated stormwater, and the date and time of the release
shall be kept for a period of five (5) years. For facilities subject to a federal oil Spill
Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC), any portion of the SPCC Plan
fully compliant with the requirements of this permit may be used to demonstrate
compliance with this permit. The Division may allow exceptions to secondary
containment requirements for mobile refuelers, as with the exemption provided by
amendments to federal SPCC regulations, as long as appropriate spill containment
and/or diversionary structures or equipment is used to prevent discharge to surface
waters. Exceptions do not apply to refuelers or other mobile tankage used primarily
as bulk liquid material storage in a fixed location in place of stationary containers.
(c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management
Practices (BMPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs
Part 11 Page 2 of 15

Permit No. NCSOOO174
shall be based on the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute
significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and on data collected
through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a
written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the
selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually.
3. Spill Prevention and Response Procedures. The Spill Prevention and Response
Procedures (SPRP) shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based
on a materials inventory of the facility. Facility personnel responsible for implementing
the SPRP shall be identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and
dated by each individual acknowledging their responsibilities for the plan. A
responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility operations that have
increased potential to contaminate stormwater runof Qth rdugh spills or exposure of
materials associated with the facility operations.nThe SPRP must be site stormwater
specific. Therefore, an oil Spill Prevention Control aAlCountermeasure 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.
it
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good,Housekeeping Program. A preventative
maintenance and good housekeeping program,shall be developed and implemented.
�.-
The program shall address all stormwater control systems (if applicable), stormwater
discharge outfalls, all on-sitee d\dj` adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial
activity areas (including material storage areas, material handling areas, disposal areas,
process areas, loading andr-u'nloading areas, and haul roads), all drainage features and
structures, and existing,structural�BMPs. The program shall establish schedules of
inspections, maintenanceiand,liousekeeping activities of stormwater control systems,
as well as facility equipment,'facility areas, and facility systems that present a potential
for stormwater exposure or stormwater pollution where not already addressed under
another element of the SPPP. Inspection of material handling areas and regular
cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program. Timely
compliance with the established schedules for inspections, maintenance, and
housekeeping shall be recorded and maintained in the SPPP.
5. Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur
as part of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a
minimum on a semi-annual schedule, once during the first half of the year (January to
June), and once during the second half (July to December), with at least 60 days
separating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently than semi-annually).
These facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the stormwater
discharge characteristic monitoring at the outfalls required in Part 11 B, C, and D of this
permit.
6. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill
response and cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's
operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. The facility
Part 11 Page 3 of 15

Permit No. NCS000174
personnel responsible for implementing the training shall be identified, and their
annual training shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained.
7. Responsible Party. The SPPP shall identify a specific position or positions responsible
for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision of the SPPP.
Responsibilities for all components of the SPPP shall be documented and position
-assignments provided.
8. SPPP Amendment and Annual.Update. The permittee shall amend the SPPP
whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, site drainage,
maintenance, or configuration of the physical features which may have a significant
effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of
the SPPP shall be reviewed and updated on an annual,basis. The annual update
shall include: n Z ue
(a) an updated list ofsignificant spills orAak\ of pollutants for the previous three
(3) years, or the notation that no spills,have occurred (element of the Site
Overview);
(b) a written re -certification that thee s�N water outfalls have been evaluated for
/i it N
the presence of non-stormwat r discharges (element of the Site Overview);
(c) a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the on -site stormwater
BMPs (BMA Summary ele iient�of the Stormwater Management Strategy).
(d) a review and comparison of sample analytical data to benchmark values (if
applicable) over the-past.yearincluding a discussion about Tiered Response
status. The permittee shall use the Division's Annual Summary Data
Monitoring Report (DMR) form, available from the Stormwater Permitting
Program's web�site,(SeeMonitoring Forms' here:
http_/Idea.nc:gov/about/divisions/energyy-mineral-land-resources/energy-
mineral-land- ermits stormwater- ermits n des-industrial-sw).
The Director may notify the permittee when the SPPP does not meet one or more of the
minimum requirements of the permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee
shall submit a time schedule to the Director for modifying the SPPP to meet minimum
requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with
Part II1, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3) to the Director that the changes
have been made.
9. SPPP Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan and all appropriate BMPs consistent with the provisions of this permit,
in order to control contaminants entering surface waters via stormwater.
Implementation of the SPPP shall include documentation of all monitoring,
measurements, inspections, maintenance activities, and training provided to
employees, including the log of the sampling data and of actions taken to implement
BMPs associated with the industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance activities.
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.

Permit No. NCS000174
SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1.
All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at each
stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with
industrial activity must be sampled (See Definitions).
A measurable storm event is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the
permitted site outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours
prior. The 72-hour storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a
shorter interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and the
permittee obtains approval from the local DEMLR Regional Engineer. See Definitions.

1 Measurement Frequency: Twice per year (unless other provisions of this permit prompt monthly
sampling) during a measureable storm event, until either another permit is issued for this facility or until
this permit is revoked or rescinded. If the facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or Three
response actions under the previous permit, the facility shall continue a monthly monitoring and
reporting schedule in Tier Two or Tier Three status until relieved by the provisions of this permit or
the Division.
2 Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. When physical separation between
outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, sampling shall begin within the first 30
minutes, and shall continue until completed.
3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless otherwise
specified or representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the Division's letter granting
ROS shall be kept on site.
4 The permittee shall sample total ammonia and nitrate+nitrate at Stormwater Discharge Outfall 200 only.
5 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.
6 The permittee shall document tidal influences at the time of the sample to record whethersamples were
taken at high or low tide conditions (or a more average condition in between).
Part II Page 5 of 15

Permit No. NCS000174
The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule
specified below in Table 2, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection
(see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Sampling is not required outside of the facility's
normal operating hours. A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2
sample dates, unless monthly monitoring has been instituted under a "Tier Two"
response. Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented
in the SPPP and recorded on the DMR. The permittee must report the results from each
sample taken within the monitoring period (see Part 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.

Footnotes:
1 Maintain semi-annual monitoring until either another permit is issued for this facility or until this
permit is revoked or rescinded. The permittee must submit an application for renewal of coverage
before the submittal deadline (180 days before expiration) to be considered for renewed coverage
under the permit. The permittee must continue analytical monitoring throughout the permit
renewal process, even if a renewal permit is not issued until after expiration of this permit.
2 If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report
indicating "No Flow" or "No Discharge" within 30 days of the end of the sampling 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.

If: The first valid sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any
parameter at any outfall;
Then: The permittee shall:
1. Conduct a stormwater management inspection 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 the 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.
FAWM
Tier Two
If. The first valid sampling results from two consecutive monitoring periods (omitting periods with no
discharge) are above the benchmark values, or outside•of�thebenchmark range, for any specific parameter at
a specific discharge outfall;
Then: The permittee shall:A/Tiekne.
1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above
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 (aanalyt� al,an qualitative) monitoring shall continue until three
consecutive sample results arebelow 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.
S. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the SPPP.
6. Continue Tier Two response obligations throughout the permit renewal process.

This site discharges to impaired waters experiencing problems with turbidity, copper, low
dissolved oxygen, and low pH. If a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is approved for this
segment of the Cape Fear River, the permittee may be required to monitor for the
pollutant(s) of concern in the future and submit results to the Division. The Division will
consider the monitoring results in determining whether additional BMPs are needed to
control the pollutant(s) of concern to the maximum extent practicable.
If additional BMPs are needed to achieve the required level of control, the permittee will be
required to (1) develop a strategy for implementing appropriate BMPs, and (2) submit a
timetable for incorporation of those BMPs into the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan,
SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQU
The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to evaluate•the effectiveness of the Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and identify new,poi ential sources of stormwater
pollution. Qualitative monitoring of Stormwater-outfall : ust be performed during a
measurable storm event.
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual iii petit on/of each stormwater outfall regardless of
representative outfall status. Qualiitatve`monitoring shall be performed semi-annually as
specified in Table 4, and during,required analytical monitoring events (unless the permittee
is required to perform further qualitativ\monitoring per the Qualitative Monitoring
/i -..,'.
Response, below). Ina bility�/o moni�lo�because of adverse weather conditions must be
documented in the SPPP and recorded on the Qualitative Monitoring Report form (see
Adverse Weather in Defini ions), Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with
industrial activity must be monitored (See Definitions).
In the event an atypical condition is noted at a stormwater discharge outfall, the permittee
shall document the suspected cause of the condition and any actions taken in response to
the discovery. This documentation will be maintained with the SPPP.

Qualitative Monitoring Response
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
• require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion.

Re: Port of Wilmington NPDES Draft Permit comments
Dear Mr. Patterson,
Please find enclosed the copy of our draft NPDES permit and comments attached in red.
The Ports would like to choose option # 2 for our monitoring schedule as this coincides with our fiscal
year. The only other comment is in reference to facilities that use more than 55 gallons of oil per month
and the sampling of the storm drain outfalls in this area. As discussed with you on the phone on January 9,
2008, all of our vehicle maintenance is performed inside our garage area. We do have a wash down area
however; this water is directed to an oil/ water separator and then discharges to the POTW.
1 would also like to confirm that we will continue current monitoring requirements until the July], 2008 ---
December 31, 2008 monitoring period unless otherwise directed by the Division.
Please feel free to contact me at 910-251-5678 or todd waltonRncports.com if you have any questions or

Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit
Permit No. NCS0001.74
N.C. State Port Authority - Wilmington
New Hanover 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:
Analytical monitoring changes:
1. All monitoring parameters have been continued since the previous permit.
2. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as
defined in Part Il Sec ' n . The permittee must also document the total precipitation for each
event. If no discha e occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a
monitoring repor indicating "No Flow" within 30 days of the end of the six-month sampling
period. Additi ally, 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 1 and also immediately institute monthly
monitoring•for all parameters_ at every outfall where a sampling resu It exceeded the benchmark
value for two consecutive samples. 3
4. You are required to collect all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during
representative storm events as defined in Part Il Section B. QuaIitative 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.
6. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall
parameter is in this permit, however.)
7. Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with
analytical and qualitative monitoring. This requirement appears in all Individual Stormwater
permits, however it only applies to facilities that do vehicle maintenance. If the facility begins
vehicle maintenance during the permitted timeframe then the requirements shall apply.

Other permit changes:
1. Additional guidance is provided about the Site Plan requirements. The site map must now
identify if the receiving stream is impaired and if it has a 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 Il 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.
Please note that your facility drains to an area where there are threatened and endangered species. The
Shortnose Sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum) and the West Indian Manatee (Trichechus manatus) are
endangered species that have been identified near your facility. The American alligator (AIligator
miss issippiensis) is a threatened species that has been identified near your facility. Failure to abide by
your stormwater permit may constitute violation of the Threatened and Endangered Species Act.
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 Robert Patterson at (919)

313 of Title III of the;Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA)
water priority cticiriicals; and storage in any amount of hazardous substances 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 shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam,
outfall staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the
accumulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to
be uncontaminated by the material stored within the containment area. Records
documenting the individual making the observation, the description of the
accumulated stormwater and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a
period of five (5) years.
BMP Summary. A narrative description shall be provided of Best Management
Practices (BMPs) to be considered such as, but not limited to, oil and grease

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.

During the term of tkis permit, if the='samphing results exceed the benchmark value, or are outside
the benchmark range, for any specific paremeter at any specific outfall on more than four
occasions, DWQ may:
• Require that the permittee'increase or decrease the monitoring frequency for the
remainder of the permit;
• require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls;
• require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures; or
• require that the permittee implement site modifications to qualify. for the No Exposure
Exclusion.
This site discharges to impaired waters experiencing problems with turbidity, low dissolved
oxygen, and low pi -I. If a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is approved for this segment of
the Cape hear 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 Quality. The Division will consider the
monitoring results in determining whether additional BMPs. are needed to control the pollutant(s)
of concern to the maximum extent practicable.
If additional BMPs are needed to achieve the required level of control, the permittee will be
required to (1) develop a strategy for implementing appropriate BMPs, and (2) submit a timetable
for incorporation of those BMPs into the permitted Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.

Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit .
Permit No. NCS000174 .
N.C. State Port Authority - Wilmington
New Hanover County
Dear Mr. Walton:
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwa ter 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. All monitoring parameters have been continued since the previous permit.
2. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as
defined in Part Il 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'Fier 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 Foot,lote 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.)
7. Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with
analytical and qualitative monitoring. This requirement appears in all Individual Stormwater
permits, however it only applies to facilities that do vehicle maintenance. If the facility begins
vehicle maintenance during the permitted titneframe then the requirements shall apply.

Other permit changes:
1. AdditionaI guidance is provided about the Site Plan requirements. The site neap 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 Il 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 11 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.
Please note that your facility drains to an area where there are threatened and endangered species. The
Shortnose Sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum) and the West Indian Manatee (Trichechus manatus) are
endangered species that have been identified near your facility. The American alligator (Alligator
mississippiensis) is a threatened species that has been identified near your facility. Failure to abide by
your stormwater permit may constitute violation of the Threatened and Endangered Species Act.
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 Robert Patterson at (919)

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-mtmnium, shall
incorporate the following:
a. Feasibility Study. A review of the technicarl and economic feasibility of changing
�.
the methods of operations and/or storage pra dices to eliminate or reduce exposure
of materials and processes to storm w7ater�-Wherever practical, the permittee shall
prevent exposure of all storage areas, material handling operations, and
manufacturing or fueling opefations..Iii areas where elimination of exposure is
not practical, the storrriw ter,management plan shall document the feasibility of'
diverting the stoni/water ru offway from areas of potential contamination.
b. Secondary Contamment1Requiremcnts and Records. Secondary containment is
required for: bulk storage of liquid materials; storage in any amount of Section
313 of Title 11I of.thc,Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA)
water priority chemicals; and storage in any amount of hazardous substances to

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 shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam,
011tfall staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the
accumulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to
be uncontaminated by the material stored within the containment area. Records
documenting the individual making the observation, the description of the
accumulated stormwater and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a
period of five (5) years.
BMP Summary. A narrative description shall be provided of Best Management
Practices (13MPs) to be considered such as, but not limited to, oil and grease

significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected
through monitoring of stormwater discharges.
3. Spill Prevention and Response Plan. The Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP)
shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials
inventory of the facility. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the
SPRP shall be identified. A responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility
operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or
exposure of materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP must be site
stormwater specific. Therefore, an oil SPCC plan may be a component of the SPRP, but
may not be sufficient to completely address the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The
common elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may be incorporated by reference into the
SPRP.::
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Flousekeepirig, i rogram. ,!A preventative
maintenance program shall be developed. The,program sliall"document schedules of
inspections and maintenance activities of stornvatercontrol systems, plant equipment

SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORINC 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. t, J

A. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF SITE We a�r>� w��r`FR ALIt1
The NPDES Permit requires that the SPPP include a site plan and narrative description of
the physical facility and potential pollutant sources which may be expected to be present in
stormwater discharge. A general Iocation map and a site plan are included in Appendix B.
The following paragraphs contain the narrative description:
A.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF FACILITY
North Carolina State Ports Authority Port of Wilmington is located on the Cape Fear
on the south side of the City of Wilmington in New Hanover County, N.C. The port
covers approximately 400 acres and contains 9 berths along 6758 feet of concrete
wharf for ship docking. Approximately 1.1 million square feet of enclosed
warehouse storage and 100 acres of paved open storage areas are available within the
port.
Approximately 80% of the site consist of impervious surfaces in the form of paved
open storage areas, enclosed warehouses, and circulation roads. The remainder of
the site consists of undeveloped vegetative areas or gravel storage areas. In general
the site slopes toward the Cape Fear River from a slight ridge created by the CSX
Rail Line running parallel to the eastern property border along Burnett Boulevard.
Most stormwater runoff flows west and is collected by surface drainage inlets that
discharge directly into the Cape Fear River via underground pipes. A few building
roof drains are connected directly to the underground pipe system, however most
discharge directly to the surface with downspouts.
A small portion of the northeastern corner of the site drains into Greenfield Creek
through -a drainage swale flowing north through the port property. Based on
examination of the USGS topographical map of Wilmington, it appears that
approximately 160 acres off site, east of the Port of Wilmington also drain into the
drainage swale. Several undeveloped areas of the terminal contain no defined
drainage outfalls and may discharge runoff through infiltration of the soil.
A.2 GENERAL .DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITIES
Material handling and storage activities at the Port of Wilmington can be classified
as one of four categories: container storage, open break bulk storage, open bulk
storage, and enclosed warehouse storage. Cargo shipped in containers is intended for
transport by truck and rail and is stored on paved areas at the port for pickup by
truck, rail, or by ship. The containers remain closed throughout the storage and
handling process and the contents are not exposed to stormwater. Approximately 80
acres of the port is used for container storage. Cargo shipped in bulk and or
breakbulk form is unloaded and stored inside or on paved or gravel open storage
areas. The material exposed to stormwater throughout its storage period may include
NCSPA Port of Wilmington; 7153 SPPP CATLIN Engineers and Scientists
CATGINProject No. 197-153 3 April30, 2001

metals, scrap metal, vehicles, etc. Breakbulk material, sensitive to weather damage,
is stored in enclosed warehouses and may consist of paper products, agriculture
products, equipment, etc. Approximately 24 acres of gravel storage areas and 20
acres of paved areas are utilized for open storage of breakbulk material. All bulk
material, (except woodchips and salt) is stored inside.
The NCSPA Port of Wilmington Ieases space within the terminal to various tenants.
The NCSPA Property Administrator prepared a tenant list. Each tenant was
interviewed via telephone. Based on the telephone interviews, the following tenants
were eliminated for further consideration since their activities have no potential
impact on stormwater:
CAPE FEAR COMMUNITY COLLEGE (Classroom)
D R ALLEN (Covered concrete bag storage)
MTMC (Military, office space only)
ROSE'S STORES (Outdoor storage only no employees on site)
S & R PACKING (Indoor activities only)
STEVENS SHIPPING (Office space only)
TRANSUS INTERMODAL (Building and adjacent land, 2507 Burnett Blvd.)
All remaining tenant operations and all operations conducted by NCSPA personnel
were observed in the field. Narrative descriptions based on the observations and
interviews follow.
NCSPA GENERAL PORT MAINTENANCE — SOURCE 41
The NCSPA Maintenance Department is responsible for facility maintenance of the entire Port of
Wilmington. Activities that occur inside the General Ports Maintenance building located on
Industrial Road include parts storage, a carpentry shop, a plumbing shop, and electrical shop.
Storage areas for most maintenance supply materials are located indoors with the exception of fuel
tanks for vehicles and miscellaneous pipes and small tractors located under a shed roof. Indoor
storage includes: drums of motor oil, transformer fluid, hydraulic fluid, paint, lumber plumbing
supplies, and electrical supplies. Waste liquids are deposited in designated tanks and are removed
from the Port by a private contractor. Solid waste is disposed of in dumpsters and is removed from
the Port by a private contractor. Used empty drums are stored indoors until removed by private
contractor. No maintenance buildings have floor drains. Building floors are swept on a regular basis
but no wet washing is conducted. The paint shop is separated from the rest of the shop in an
enclosed room.

Permit Number NCS000174
Individual Stormwater Permit
New Hanover County
The Division of Water Quality's Stormwater Permitting Unit (SPU) acknowledges receipt of
your renewal application for coverage under NPDES Permit Number NCS000174 on October 1, 2004,
We apologize for the lengthy delay in responding to your submittal and are now making every effort to
review your permit renewal as expeditiously as possible. Our Unit anticipates making significant
progress on individual permits over the next six months to reduce our backlog.
We are currently beginning our review of your renewal application. Please continue to comply
with all conditions and monitoring requirements in your expired NPDES stormwater permit. As
long as you have submitted a complete renewal request package and maintain compliance with those
permit conditions, stormwater discharges from this facility are authorized by that permit until the
Division issues a renewal permit or notifies you of an alternative action.
No additional information is required at this time, but we may contact you in the future. Please
notify us if any significant changes have taken place afthis facility, or if an updated site map is
available, since the time you submitted the renewal package. If you have any questions about this
matter, please contact me at [phone], extension 360.
Sincerely,

To: Aisha Lau
Stormwater Permitting Unit
From: Ed Beek
Wilmington Regional Office
Through: Rick Shiver
Subject: Permit Number NCS000174
North Carolina State Ports Authority
Port of Wilmington
New Hanover County
An application has been received for renewal of the subject stormwater permit. An
inspection of the site was done on November 17, 2004. The Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan and associated material were available at the site and in good order.
The SWPPP is well developed, describes the many activities on the site, and
presents BMP controls to reduce impacts. Updates and monitoring reports are
included in the file. Also included are reports of inspections done by a consultant to
evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of BMPs on the site. The evaluations
are quite objective and thorough and indicate that the facility is generally compliant.
A review of the site was done. It is clear that the site has benefited from the
oversight of an environmental manager who strives to keep the facility compliant
with the requirements of the permit. Frequent sweeping keeps the site free of solids
that could be flushed by stormwater into the adjacent river. Secondary containment
is in place where needed. There are several areas where bulk materials are stored
and handled. The product piles are kept covered as much as practicable. Equipment
wash areas are generally tributary to the sanitary sewer. The writer will guide the
permittee to utilize better control measures when washing the bulk material crane
hopper.

It is recommended that the permit be reissued for a period of five years containing
conditions similar to those contained in the current permit.

herein after referred to as the Plan.. This Plan shall encompass the activities of leasee(s) of" the
Terminal as well as those conducted directly by the Permittee. The Permittee shall utilitize the lease
agreement(s) to assure that the provisions of the Plan are adhered to by the leasee(s) conducting
activities at the Terminal. This Plan shall be considered public information in accordance with Part
I1, Standard Conditions, Section E.8. of this permit. The Plan shall include, at a minimum, the
following items:
a.. Site Plan. The site plan shall provide a description of the physical facility and the potential
pollutant sources which may be expected to contribute to contamination of stormwater
discharges. The site plan shall contain the following:
(1) A general location map (USGS quadrangle map or appropriately drafted equivalent
map), showing the facility's location in relation to transportation routes and surface
waters, the name of the receiving water(s) to which the stormwater outfall(s)
discharges, or if the discharge is to a municipal separate storm sewer system, the
name of the municipality and the ultimate receiving waters; and accurate latitude
and longitude of the point(s) of discharge.
(2) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities,
outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and
waste disposal practices.
(3) A site map drawn to scale with the distance legend indicating location of industrial
activities (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas and loading
and unloading areas), drainage structures, drainage areas for each outfall and
activities occurring in the drainage area, building locations and impervious surfaces,
and the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious. For each outfall, a
narrative description of the potential pollutants which could be expected to be
present in the stormwater discharge.
(4) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred at the facility
during the 3 previous years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill
i mpacts.
(5) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the- presence of
non-stormwater discharges. The certification statement will be signed in

Permit No. NCSOOO174
accordance with the requirements found in Part II, Standard Conditions, Section
B.9.
b. Stormwater Management PIan. 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:
(1) A study addressing the technical and economic feasibility of changing the rzlethods
of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure of materials
and processes to stormwater. Wherever practicable the permittee shall cover all
storage areas, material handling operations, manufacturing or fueling operations to
prevent materials exposure to stormwater. In areas where elimination of exposure
is not practicable, the stormwater management plan shall document the feasibility of
diverting the stormwater runoff away from areas of potential contamination.
(2) A schedule to provide secondary containment for bulk storage of liquid materials,
storage of Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorilation Act (SARA) water priority chemicals, or storage of hazardous
materials to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. 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 with a locking mechanism.1 and any
stormwater that accumulates in the containment area shall be at a minimum visually
observed for color, foam, and visible sheens, prior to release of the accumulated
stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be
uncontaminated. 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.
(3) A narrative description shall be provided of Best Management Practices (BMPs) to
be considered such as, but not limited to, oil and grease separation, debris control,
vegetative filter strips, infiltration and stormwater detention or retention, where
necessary. The need for structural BMPs shall be based on the assessment of
potential of sources to contribute significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater
discharges and data collected through monitoring of stormwater discharges.
(4) Inspection schedules of stormwater conveyances and controls and measures to be
taken to limit or prevent erosion associated with the stormwater systems.
C. Spill Prevention and Response Plan. The Spill Prevention and Response Plan shall
incorporate a risk assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials inventory

This permit may be modified, revoked and reissued, or terminated for cause. The
notification of planned changes or anticipated noncompliance does not stay any
permit condition.
Rum v• a :: O• : US r• ZOMIJIB• • MG
The permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and
systems of treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or
used by the permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit.
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-
m �
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.
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. These bypasses are not subject to the provisions of Paragraphs c. and d.
of this section.
C. Notice
(1) Anticipated bypass. If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a
bypass, it shall submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the
date of the bypass; including an evaluation of the anticipated quality and
affect of the bypass.

Individual Stormwater Page A 12
(2) Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice within 24 hours of
an unanticipated bypass as required in Pan II, E. 5. of this permit. (24-
hour notice).
d. Prohibition of Bypass
Bypass is prohibited and the Director may take enforcement action against a
permittee for bypass, unless:
(1) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe
properly 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 . 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 perminee 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 wiil 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 outer
relevant evidence that:. -
{ 1 } 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 IL E. 5. (b)
(13) of this permit.
(4) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Pan II,
A. 2. of this permit.
d. ' Burden of Proof
In any enforcement proceeding the permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of
an upset has the burden of proof.
Samples collected and measurements taken, as required herein, shall be
characteristic of the volume and nature of the permitted discharge. Samples shall be
taken on a day and time that is characteristic of the discharge. All samples shall be
taken before the discharge joins or is diluted by any other waste stream, body of
water, or substance. Monitoring points shall not be changed without notification to
and approval of the Director.
Duplicate signed copies of all reports required herein, shall be submitted to the
following address:
Division of Environmental Management

with accepted scientific practices shall be selected and used to ensure the accuracy
and reliability of measurements of the volume of monitored discharges.
Test procedures for the analysis of pollutants shall conform to the EMC regulations
published pursuant to NCGS 143-215.63 et. seq, the Water and Air Quality
Reporting Acts, and to regulations published pursuant to Section 304(g), 33 USC
1314, of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as Amended, and Regulation 40
CFR 136.
To meet the intent of the monitoring required by this permit, all test procedures
must produce minimum detection and reporting levels that are below the permit
discharge requirements and all data generated must be reported down to the
minimum detection or lower reporting level of the procedure. If no approved

Individual Stormwater Page A14
methods are determined capable of achieving minimum detection and reporting
levels below general permit discharge requirements, then the most sensitive
(method with the lowest possible detection and reporting level) approved method
must be used.
The Clean Water Act provides that any person who falsifies, tampers with, or
knowingly renders inaccurate, any monitoring device or method required to be
maintained under this permit shall, upon conviction, be punished by a fine of not
