Through the NPDES permitting program industrial facilities that fall into one of the subject ten categories are required to obtain permit coverage under a general permit or an individual permit, depending upon the facilities SIC code and the industrial activity occurring at the facility. There are currently 19 active general stormwater permits in North Carolina. One condition that is applicable to both the general permits and individual stormwater permits is the requirement to develop and implement site -specific comprehensive Stormwater Pollution Prevention plans (SPPP). These plans are required to include a comprehensive evaluation of the site and operations to reduce pollutant sources and prevent pollutant discharge. Copies of the general permits and accompanying documents can be accessed from the following webpage: httpa/h2o.enr.state,nc,us/su/Forms_Documents.htm.

The stormwater empties into the wetlands to the West of the site and eventually reaches Irwin Creek, this is approximately 3,200 feet from the site. Irwin Creek is part of the Catawba River Basin. 1.2 Additional Views & Descriptions: Refer to anal view 1, the closest view of the site. The transportation building is where the news papers are brought to and delivered from each day. This building is 375 feet long & 150 feet wide and is located at 35'11'28.55"N & 80°53'42.99"W. When papers are packaged into bundles each day at the printing operations up town Charlotte they are trucked to this site and unloaded. The North side of the building is used for unloading newspapers from trucks, these deliveries were made from our main office building in uptown Charlotte, NC. The South side of the building is used for loading newspapers into individual trucks, vans and cars to be circulated throughout the County. The maintenance building is used for preventive maintenance and repairs to the trucks. This building is 140 feet long & 60 feet wide and is located at 35'11'32.46"N & 80°53'46.05"W. The trucks are brought inside to prevent a possible spill from reaching the grounds during maintenance & repairs. The view also shows where the 25,000 gallon underground fuel storage tank is located. It is located at 35'11'32.83"N & 80°53'46.51"W. The tank is double lined with a catch basin for small spillage during filling, it also has overflow protection using a ball float and has an electronic level/leak detection system. The single outfall empties into the wet lands and is located at 35'11'32.7588"N & 80°53'46.9242"W "near pin 7". Two additional arial views 2 & 3 "pages 9 & 10"; are wider views than arial view 1 and shows the proximity to Irwin Creek and major highways. View 2 shows the proximity to Irwin Creek and other businesses. View 3 shows the site's proximity to major highways 77, Billy Graham Parkway and West Tyvola Road. All three anal views show the property lines, a view of the wet lands and Irwin Creek. The yellow pins identify property lines, the distance between pins are as follows. 1.3 Additional Views & Descriptions Continued: The yellow pins identify the property boundary lines. 1.3.1 The distance from pin 1 to pin 2 is 934 feet. 1.3.2 The distance from pin 2 to pin 3 is 470 feet. 1.3.3 The distance from pin 3 to pin 4 is 172 feet. 1.3.4 The distance from pin 4 to pin 5 is 310 feet. 1.3.5 The distance from pin 5 to pin 6 is 376 feet. 1.3.6 The distance from pin 6 to pin 7 is 317 feet. 1.3.7 The distance from pin 7 to pin 8 is 413 feet. 1.3.8 The distance from pin 8 to pin 1 is 342 feet. 1.3.9 The stormwater outfall is near pin 7. 35'11'32.7588"N & 80053'46.9242"W 3 2.0 Stormwater Management Plan 2.1 Feasibility Study: After looking at all the procedures for the prevention of polluting stormwater at the site there were few changes made. All loading and unloading at the transportation building is of paper and protected from rain water due to the process being accomplished at loading docks. The unloading of fuel into the UST is done at the maintenance building site on a concrete pad. The filler area is enclosed with a locked lid and protected with a secondary containment basin. The UST also has overfill protection using a ball float. The fueling of company trucks is done at a pumping station under a carport type shelter at the West end of the maintenance building. The storage tank capacity is monitored by an electronic leak detector that also serves as a fuel capacity gauge. 2.2 Spills: There have not been any spills during the last five years. With the safe guards put in place during filling of the storage tank "the driver and one TCO employee present", overfill protection, overflow catch basin and a concrete pad, there is minimal risk of'a spill. The truck fueling area is also under a shelter and on a concrete pad with electronic spill monitoring. 2.3 Certification of Outfalls: The outfall located at 35"11'32.7588"N & 80°53'46.9242" W "near pin 7" has been tested by PAR Laboratory here in Charlotte and meets the requirements found in Part 111, Standards Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 5. Semi-annual Qualitative & Analytical Monitoring is performed at the outfall. Annual inspections of the outfall are performed for non-stormwater discharges. 2.4 Secondary Containment: The UST is a double wall fiberglass tank. The piping is enclosed inside of additional piping providing for secondary containment. The tank and piping is inspected annual by Precision 'Tank Services out of Cornelius, NC. The inspection includes pressure testing the tank and piping for leaks. The fuel dispensers are inspected and pressure tested and the piping cleared of any debris. Both the new oil & used oil tanks are double wall above ground tanks. 2.5 Stormwater Testing: The stormwater is tested twice each year by a local lab; PAR laboratories in Charlotte. The water samples for testing are taken from the single outfall at 35°11'32.7588"N & 80°53'46.9242"W "near pin 7". The tests are the standard stormwater discharge outfall "SDO" for qualitative & analytical. Annual inspections are performed for non-stormwater discharges. Sample forms are on pages 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15. 2.6 Training: Annual stormwater training is conducted on site by the Facilities Manager. A copy of the training guide is on page 16 and the training log on page 17. 2.7 Record Keeping - Records are kept at the transportation site for the following: 2.7.1 UST Permit 2.7.2 Annual tank & pipe pressure testing and inspection by Precision Tank Services 2.7.3 Level and inventory controls. 2.7.4 Annual level/leak inspections and calibration by Southern Pump & Tank. 2.7.5 Annual inspections of the oil/water separator by Cleaning Systems of the Carolinas. 2.7.6 Semi-annual stormwater test of outfall & annual inspection of non-stormwater discharge. 2.7.6 Maintenance, inspections & housekeeping records 4 3.0 Spill Prevention & Response Plan: All employees working in and around the maintenance building and/or fueling The Observer trucks must be familiar with the site and the spill prevention & response plan. A copy of this plan must be displayed in the maintenance building. 3.1 Site Plan: On page 7 is a site plan of the Transportation Department. Transportation's primary function is to receive, organize and distribute The Charlotte Observer's news papers. This is done from the main building "transportation building". 3.2 The Truck Maintenance Building: The truck maintenance building which is 245 feet North of the transportation building is where all maintenance is performed on the trucks. Fueling of the trucks is also accomplished at this building under a carport type shelter at the West end of the building. 3.3 The Underground Storage Tank: The underground fuel storage tank is a few feet North of the maintenance building and covered with a concrete pad. The tank is a 25,000 gallon double wall fiberglass tank with the piping inside a secondary lining. The UST is inspected and pressure tested annually by Precision Tank Service, Inc. out of Cornelius, NC. The tank is never tilled without the presence of an Observer employee working with the tanker driver. 3.4 Oil/Water Separator: The oillwater separator was replaced in 2008 and is located a few feet South of the maintenance building. The new separator is a CSC -Alpha 3100D oil/water separator. The oil/water separator is enclosed in a metal building. All floor drains in the maintenance building is piped to the oil/water separator. Discharge from the separator is to the sanitary sewer system. Starting in 2010 the water from the separator will be tested in the same manor as the stormwater tests from the outfall; even though the output from the separator is to the sanitary sewer and not to the storm drain. 3.5 Spill Clean Up Material: The spill clean up material is stored on site inside the maintenance building. It consists of a drum for storing spent material, shovel for clean up of material, pigs for containing the spill and absorbent material for clean up of the spill. All spent material must be put into the drum and stored until disposed of by HAZ Mat Services. 3.6 Notification Procedures: If a spill occurs, the following employees and Agencies must be notified: Assigned responsible person is Paul Byars. 3.6.1 Paul Byars— Facilities Manager, home #803-656-4035 cell 4704-62I-9206 3.6.2 Greg Gossett-- Site Manager, home # 704-857-9493 cell #704-301-2801 3.6.3 Chuck Griffiths- VP of Ops. home # 704-846-7750 cell #704-953-0517 3.6.4 Regina Cousar- CMUD System Protection cell #704-201-1497 3.6.5 HAZ-MAT Services 24/7 #704-332-5600 3.7 Clean Up: If the spill is small and can be confined and cleaned up without soil, sewer or storm drain/water contamination; clean up can be completed using on site clean up equipment. This consists of a containment drum and absorbent material as explained in section 3.5 above. Disposal will be done by HAZ-MAT Services. 4.0 Maintenance & Housekeeping: 4.1 Monthly Inspections: Monthly inspections will be conducted by an on site Manager or the Facilities Manager. The inspection checklist is on page 17 and consists of inspecting the grounds, catch basins, outfall, maintenance shop, oil/water separator, fueling stations, underground storage tank area, spill clean up equipment and documentation. An annual inspection of the outfall is performed for non- stormwater discharge. 4.2 UST Maintenance Log: A UST maintenance log is for scheduling and documenting completed maintenance requirements by the State. It also has important vendor contacts for services. The log is on page 18. 4.3 Level/Leak Detector Printout: A copy of the printout from the level/leak detector is on page 19. The most important function is the test result of the fuel dispensing, "either pass or fail". A fail could possibly mean a leak has been detected within the dispensing system to include the piping. A fail result must be check out immediately. 4.4 Diesel Fuel Report: A copy of the diesel fuel report is on page 20. It shows purchases and when the UST has been filled. Fuel levels are shown before and after each fill.
