The stormwater management plan, at a minimum, shall incorporate the following: a. Feasibility Study. A review of the technical and economic feasibility of changing the methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure of materials and processes to stormwater. Wherever practical, the permittee 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 stormwater management plan shall document the feasibility of diverting the stormwater runoff away from areas of potential contamination. b. Secondary Containment Schedule. A schedule to provide secondary containment for bulk storage of liquid materials, storage of Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority chemicals, or storage of hazardous substances 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] 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 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 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. 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, a 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. Part II Page 2 of 7 Permit No. NCSOOCK)92 4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program.

A Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for fecal coliform was approved in May 2004 for Richland Creek, but the Permittee was not allocated a load for stormwater discharge and is not required to monitor for fecal coliform at this time. If a TMDL for other pollutants of concern is approved for this segment of Richland Creek, the Permittee may be required to monitor those parameters 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. Part 11 Page 5 of 7 Permit No. NCS000092 SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of representative outfall status and shall be performed as specified below in Table 4. Qualitative monitoring is for the purpose of evaluating the effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and assessing new sources of stormwater pollution. No analytical tests are required. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls is performed when stormwater discharge occurs but does not need to be performed during a representative storm event. 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 Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. All qualitative monitoring will be performed twice per year, once in the spring (April - June) and once in the fall (September - November). Table 4.

Currently under General Permit NCG180000 (for Furniture Manufacturing), there are no analytical monitoring requirements unless Vehicle Maintenance Activities trigger them. I can't promise that it will not change when the general permit is renewed in 2009, but right now, there are only the qualitative monitoring requirements. A copy of that permit is on our website here: http;//h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/Forms_Documents.htm#stormwaterGP As part of my review for your facility's renewal, I recommended that the company might consider applying for coverage under NCG18 after 4-6 more samples were collected (this would provide a good set of 8-10 data points to compare the discharge levels to benchmark concentrations); you could do this on the semi-annual schedule outlined in the draft permit, or sample more frequently (I would still aim for spring and fall sampling if possible) and submit a request/NOI application sooner than 2-3 years down the road. The regional office staff report did not disagree with this recommendation, so I was planning to advise Marsh Furniture of that option in the final issuance letter. If you have any other questions, just let me know.

Easley, Governor State of North Carolina William G. Ross. Jr„ Secretary Department of Environment and Natural Resources Alan W. Klimek, P.E., Director - Division of Water Qualit Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit Permit No. NCS000092 Marsh Furniture Company Guilford County Dear Mr. Braswell: 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 frequency for all parameters has changed to semi-annual (once in the spring and once in the fall). This change reflects the Divisions revised strategy for renewal permits and makes stormwater sampling frequency consistent with qualitative monitoring. Semi-annual monitoring is in both Sections B and D (Vehicle Maintenance) of Part 11. + pi-1 monitoring has been added to Part II, Sec. B. This parameter is standard for most facilities that conduct analytical monitoring and can be important to interpreting other water quality monitoring results. • The Division has incorporated benchmark values into the permit. These benchmarks are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for your facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP), If any measurements exceed benchmark values, your facility should evaluate the effectiveness of its Best Management Practices (BM Ps), review and/or update its SPIT', and document any efforts to address stormwater contamination (see Part 11, Sections B and D). • TMDL (Total Maximum Daily Load) language has been incorporated into the same section under Table 3 (Part II, Section B) because Richland'Creek is on the 303(d) list of impaired waters and has an approved TMDL for fecal eoliform bacteria. No special monitoring, is required at this time. • Total Flow monitoring has been removed. The permit still requires Total Rainfall amount and Rainfall Event Duration be recorded for each sampling event. This change is also based on the Division's revised strategy for stormwater monitoring in renewal permits. Please note that the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) site map must include drainage area for each outfall in acres and the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious (see Part 11, Sec. A).

Compliance Schedule: N/A. Basis for Monitoring: See attached Monitoring Data Analysis. Added pH. Retained all other parameters. Site monitored quarterly in 2004 instead of 2003 but did not submit DM Rs. All monitoring has changed to Sethi -Annual (spring and fall). This change is based on the Division's revised strategy for stormwater monitoring in renewal permits and makes stormwater discharge sampling frequency consistent with qualitative monitoring. In addition, DWQ has incorporated benchmark values into the permit. These benchmarks are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for the facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). New language specifies that if any measurements exceed benchmark values, the facility should evaluate the effectiveness of its BMPs, review and/or update its SPPP, and document any efforts to address stormwater contamination (see Part 11, Sec. B & D). Total Flow monitoring has been removed per DWQ revised strategy (Total Rainfall and Event Duration parameters retained). Instead, Part 11. Sec. A clarifies that SPPP site map include drainage area for each outfall in acres and percent impervious area in each drainage area (should flow ever need to be estimated).

March 2005, out for public review Central Office Review Summary: Since last renewal, the company has had no significant changes to its industrial activities. This facility manufactures wooden cabinets. Note, NCG180000 covers this industry (Furniture manufacturing, including 2434 — Wood Kitchen Cabinets); however, historically stormwater discharges have recorded levels of pollutants above benchmarks and warranted analytical monitoring. Efforts to reduce exposure and lower levels of BOD, COD, etc. at this site may make it eligible for NCG 18 in the future. Facility discharges stormwater to impaired waters. Richland Creek was added to the 303(d) list in 1998 because of fecal coliform problems and unidentified stressors impairing biological integrity; urban runoff and storm sewers are noted potential sources. A TMDL for Richland Creek was approved in May 2004, but no loads were allocated to this point source (only to continuous NPDES dischargers and MS4s). This site would not be a likely contributor of fecal. The Draft 2005 Cape Fear Basinwide Plan also notes that low dissolved oxygen (DO) and elevated arsenic levels have been observed in this watershed (ambient station BA277). DWQ will further investigate sources of arsenic. Qualitative Monitoring Results: Permittee sent results from 2000-04. No persistent problems observed. Analytical Monitoring: Permittee only submitted two sample results from 2004; should have monitored quarterly throughout 2003. No DMRs were in Central Files, and no rainfall amounts, durations, or flows were reported, Faxed results from last two quarters in 2004 (7/ 15/05). See attached Monitoring Data Analysis. BOD5 and COD levels have dropped markedly since 1995-98 (see attached), but after a five-year hiatus (no sampling required until fourth year of past permit), there are only four samples from 2004—not enough data to eliminate these as pollutants of concern, unlessBMPsatthesitehavereducedexposuresince then. Max. COD atoutfall 004 was < 120 mg/l but not low — 73 mg/l. Total phosphorus (TP) levels at outfall 002 have also dropped to < 0.5 mg/1 since 1995 (when one sample was > 6 mg/1), but 9/ 17/04 sample was right around 2 mg/1 benchmark. TKN (organic nitrogen) levels have been below 10 mg/1 since 1995. These nutrients may not be pollutants of concern' but were also only sampled four times in past five years. Recommend retaining BOD. COD. TP. and TKN monitoring in renewal for at least two more years. Also recommend adding pH monitoring (standard). ' t. If BMP or other changes have reduced exposure/contaminants significantly, company'should consider applying for a general permit. Recommend keeping all parameters at semi-annual sampling in the" renewal and advising the company to apply for coverage under NCO18 (Furniture Manufacture) after 4-6 more samples collected (for minimum of 8-10 with 2004 data) if all parameters below benchmarks. NCG18 does not require analytical monitoring (unless vehicle maintenance). Does RO concur? Monitoring frequency will increase to semi-annually. This change ensures at least nine data points are collected through the permit term and makes monitoring frequency consistent with qualitative monitoring. Also, benchmark values for all parameters have also been added to the permit as a guide for the permittee to check the effectiveness of BMPs (and document efforts) when necessary. Follow-up with the company contact (Bruce Braswell, 336.819.4035) on 7/ I4/2005: • Verified no vehicle maintenance activities at this site. • Application notes that all operations are under roof except for truck loading; has this been a change since the last renewal? What's stored outside? What's loaded? Gas and diesel above -ground tanks, but they're diked and under roof. Hax waste is also under a shed in a diked area. All manufacturing processes inside. Only truck cabs exposed when they back into • NCS000092 loading area. Dust cyclones and baghouses outside, but conveyances all enclosed. • 1999 permit required quarterly sampling in 2003; only two samples in 2004 submitted with the renewal application, and no DMRs (2003 or 2004) are in Central Files. Did the company perform additional monitoring? What about rainfall amounts and duration? Should have been recorded. Four events were recorded; contact probably forgot to send in the other reports. Will fax them. • BOD, COD, and TP levels have dropped significantly since 1995-98; what changed? Can't recall anything major. Could be what others around them were doing —a lot of redevelopment going on nearby. (?) • Last renewal review noted floor drains inside buildings that needed plugging/disconnection from the Stormwater system —was this ever done? Yes, drains in the manufacturing area have been plugged since Mr. Braswell started with the company back in 1998. He thinks they did plug a couple of drains in the boiler buildings about five years ago and installed new pipes routed to the sanitary sewer, but no one was sure where the original ones drained...

The stream classification of Richland Creek change from C to WS IV. 2. Richland Creek is impaired with the following problem parameters: Turb and Cu. It is also on the 303(d) list for Fecal, Turb., Cu, Lindane. There was nothing in, the renewal application or the initial application to suggest including these parameter as part of the analytical monitoring in the permit. 3. The previous permit had the following analytical monitoring parameters: BOD, COD, TKN, TP, Pb, Cd, Ag and Di-N-Butyl Phthalate. Analytical monitoring for BOD, COD, TKN and TP were above their respective cutoff concentrations of 120 mg/l, 30 mg/l, 20 mg/l and 2 mg/l over the permit term. Therefore these parameters remained in the analytical monitoring requirements of the permit. Analytical monitoring data submitted with the renewal showed that Pb, Cd, Ag and Di-N- Phthalate are below their respective cutoff concentrations of 0.005 mg/l, 0.012 mg/l, and 12 mg/l. After reviewing the original permit application (which was requested from the permittee since the central file copy is missing), Cd, Ag and Di-N-Butyl Phthalate were below cutoff concentrations. Therefore, since there was no supporting vidence for requiring Cd, Ag, and Di-N-Butyl Phthalate to be monitored initially, they were removed from analytical monitoring. Pb remained in the analytical monitoring requirements to obtain analytical monitoring data to definitively exclude it in the future. 4. The analytical monitoring data was complete and met all the requirements of the permit. Therefore, quarterly 41h year monitoring requirements (Type I monitoring) were made part of the permit requirements. 5. The visual monitoring requirements were not adequately satisfied in the permit. The permittee apparently thought that the inspection reports was the same as visual monitoring required in the permit. 6. The Marsh Furniture facility has a number of floor drains at there facility that was described in their initial permit application as discharging to stormwater collection pipes. It needs to be pointed out in the transmittal letter that these need to be sealed off or plumbed into the wastewater lines. 1 Type I (41h year, 41h quartdr monitoring frequency) and Type II (151, 2nd, 3`d year and quarterly 4`h year monitoring) monitoring was determined from a series of staff meetings to discuss how the Division would reissue'the individual permits.

If aTMDL for other pollutants of concern is approved for this segment of Richland Creek, the Pennittee may be required to monitor those parameters 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. Part II Page 5 of 7 Permit No. NCS000092 SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of representative outfall status and shall be performed as specified below in Table 4. Qualitative monitoring is for the purpose of evaluating the effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and assessing new sources of stormwater pollution. No analytical tests are required. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls is performed when stormwater discharge occurs but does not need to be performed during a representative storm event. 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 Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.

TMDLs (Chapter 35) will be developed for identified stressors within 8-13 years of listing. 8.3.9 Richland Creek [AU# 17-7-(0.5) and (4)1 2000 Recommendations DWQ recommended resampling of Richland Creek to determine stressors to the biological community. It was also recommended that a TMDL be developed for fecal coliform bacteria. Current Status Richland Creek from source to Randleman Reservoir (8.1 miles) is Impaired for aquatic life because of a Fair fish community rating at site BF31. Streambanks were steep and habitat was sparse. These segments are also Impaired for recreation because the fecal coliform bacteria standard was violated at site BA275. Dissolved oxygen also violated water quality standards in 10.1 percent of samples and arsenic violated water -quality standards in 17.6 percent of samples at site BA277. The benthic community rating at site BB251 was also Fair. High Point Eastside WWTP (NC0024210) had significant violations of the biological oxygen demand permit limit during the assessment period, which may have contributed to the low dissolved oxygen levels noted above. High Point Eastside has nearly completed an expansion and upgrade of the facility to 26 MGD and experienced much better operations in 2004. This discharge will be relocated to the main body of the reservoir and sites BB251 and BA277 will be inundated by Randleman Reservoir therefore these sites were not be used to assign use support ratings to Richland Creek. A TMDL (Chapter 35) was approved in May 2004 that recommended an 82 percent reduction in fecal coliform bacteria loading into Richland Creek. DRAFT Chapter 8 — Cape Fear River Subbasin 03-06-08 102 2005 Recommendations DWQ will continue to monitor Richland Creek and it will remain on the 303(d) list. DWQ will further investigate the sources of Arsenic in the watershed. The NPDES compliance process will be used to address the significant permit violations noted above. DWQ recommends that Nigh Point Eastside continue to improve operations and treatment at this facility. 8.3.10 West Fork Deep River [AU# 17-3-(0.7)al Current Status The West Fork Deep River was Fully Supporting in the 2000 basin plan; however, West Fork Deep River [I 7-3-(0.7)a], from SR 1850 to SR 1818 (0.5 miles) is Impaired for aquatic life because the turbidity standard was violated in 22.9 percent samples at site BA262. 2005 Recommendations DWQ will continue to monitor West Fork Deep River and it will be added to the 303(d) list. 8.4 Status and Recommendations for Waters with Noted Impacts The surface waters discussed in this section are not Impaired. However, notable water quality problems and concerns have been documented for some waters based on this assessment. While these waters are not Impaired, attention and resources should be focused on these waters to prevent additional degradation or facilitate water quality improvement. Waters in the following section are identified by assessment unit number (AU#). See overview for more information on AU#s. 8.4.1 Hickory Creek [AU# 17-8.5-(3)] Current Status and 2005 Recommendations Hickory Creek, from 0.6 miles upstream of mouth to Randleman Reservoir (0.9 miles) is Not Rated on an evaluated basis for aquatic life because Crown Mobile Home Park (NC0055255) and Southern Elementary School (NC0038091) had significant violations of dissolved oxygen permit limits in the last two years of the assessment period that could have negatively impacted aquatic life. Southern Guilford High School (NC0038229) also had significant violations of pH permit limits. The NPDES compliance process will be used to address the significant permit violations noted above. A stressor survey conducted in 2003 found that high flows after rain events were impacting aquatic habitat in Hickory Creek. The survey also noted large amounts of periphyton on rocks in the upper watershed and high dissolved oxygen levels indicated algal activity. Conductivity was also high in the creek (DENR-DWQ 2003). 8.5 Additional Water Quality Issues within Subbasin 03-06-08 The following section discusses issues that may threaten water quality in the subbasin that are not specific to particular streams, lakes or reservoirs. The issues discussed may be related to waters near certain land use activities or within proximity to different pollution sources.

TMDL Development Analysis/Modeling: Load duration curves based on cumulative frequency distribution of flow conditions in the watershed. Allowable loads are average loads over the recurrence interval between the 95,1 and 10 percent flow exceeded (excludes extreme drought (>95°1-percentile) and floods (<10°-percentile)). Percent reductions expressed as the average value between existing loads (calculated using an equation to fit a curve through actual water quality violations) and the allowable load at each percent flow exceeded. Critical Conditions: Critical conditions are accounted for in the load curve analysis by determining the average difference between the existing load violation trend line and the allowable load line. This approach was chosen because existing load violations occur at all flow levels. iv Richland Creek and Muddy Creek TMDLs March 2004 Seasonal Variation: Seasonal variation in hydrology, climatic conditions, and watershed activities are represented through the use of a continuous flow gage and the use of all readily available water duality data collected in the watershed. 3.

Richland Creek and Muddy Creek near High Point, North Carolina have been placed on the North Carolina 2002 list of impaired waters (the 303(d) list) and require estimation of a "I'MDL for fecal coliform to rneet the water quality standards specified for WS-IV and WS-IV CA waters. Richland Creek and Muddy Creek are headwater tributaries to the Deep River, located within Guilford and Randolph Counties (Figure 1), draining an area of approximately 30 square miles.

Location of Richland Creek and Muddy Creek 1.1 PROBLEM DEFINITION Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act (CWA) requires states to develop a list of waters not meeting water quality standards or which have impaired uses. This list, referred to as the 303(d) list, is submitted biennially to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for review. Development of a TMDL requires an assessment of the assimilative capacity of the stream, assessment of the sources within the watershed contributing to the total instream load, and a recommendation of the reductions required from each source. Richland Creek and Muddy Creek 7MDLs March 2004 Sewer Overflows Fecal coliform may enter surface water when sewer pipes are clogged, damaged, Or flooded by stonmwater. Infiltration of rainfall can enter the sewer system through cracks and leaks in pipes. This additional flow volume, in combination with the existing sewer flow, can exceed the capacity of the system resulting in a sanitary -sewer -overflow (SSO). Based on data provided by NC DWQ, sixteen SSO events have been reported in High Point during the last two years (Mauney, 2003). Of these sixteen events, ten contributed less than 5,000 gallons or were single occurrences at the discharge location. However, six relatively significant events ranging from 18,000 to 318, 590 gallons occurred near 5745 Riverdale Road. The Riverdale Road overflows may constitute a significant, reoccurring source contributing to fecal coliform impairment in Richland Creek. The City of Archdale does not have any SSOs on record within the past three years (Shuler, 2003). A lift station is located on Weant Road in Muddy Creek and may be a source of high flow fecal coliform loading to Muddy Creek. Sewer Defects Defects in sewer pipes, including cracked and corroded pipes, allow sewage to leak into surface water. Sewer pipe leaks are a likely cause of low flow fecal coliform exceedances as they contribute high loads during periods where there is a minimal amount of stream flow to dilute their contribution. Richland and Muddy Creeks drain some of the oldest sections of the High Point and Archdale, where sewer pipes may have developed cracks and corrosion over many years of use. The city officials are not aware of any specific location of sewer defects (Shuler, 2003; Hepler, 2003). The wide range of flows during which exceedances occur and the elevated levels in the urban areas suggest that sewer defects are potentially a very significant problem. 2.1.2 Point Source Fecal Coliform Contributions Two low -scale wastewater treatment plants, termed "package plants," are permitted to discharge into the Muddy River and its tributaries within the listed segment (Figure 8). Table 4 presents the average flow, loading, and permit limits for the NPDES facilities discharging fecal coliform to Muddy Creek. Some of the facilities may need to be repaired or upgraded (Mauney, 2003; Walker, 2003). These plants are potential causes of high fecal coliform measurements at MCI (Weant Road) and MC2 (Muddy Creek Road) during ail flow regimes. At present, only the Penman Heights facility is discharging to the Muddy Creek watershed. This facility discharges to a tributary a quarter mile from Muddy Creek between stations MCI and MC2. As discussed in the source assessment, urban stormwater runoff can contribute fecal coliform to Richland Creek and Muddy Creek. Much of this runoff is considered a point source and is regulated in compliance with the Storm Water Phase I1 Final Rule (EPA, 2000). This rule applies to a unit of government such as a city or county, which owns or operates a municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4). The MS4 is required to obtain a National Point Source Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for their stormwater discharges to surface waters. As such, stormwater runoff from areas within an MS4 is considered a point source. The City of High Point, the City of Archdale, and Guilford County fall under the Phase II Rule and therefore maintain stormwater management programs. Loadings of fecal coliform from stormwater runoff are considered to be point source discharges for [he purpose of the TMDL. 14 Richland Creek and Muddy Creek TMDLs March 2004 Table 1f).

Implementation should also target storm -driven sources such as runoff from residential areas and agricultural land. The TMDL analysis was performed using the best data available to specify the fecal coliform reductions necessary to achieve water quality criteria. The intent of meeting the criteria is to support the designated use classifications in the watershed. A detailed implementation plan is not included in this TMDL. The involvement of local governments and agencies will be needed in order to develop an implementation plan. 34 Kemersville !

Post Office Drawer 870 High Point, North Carolina 27261 • NCDENR NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OR ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES Subject: Permit No. NCS000092 Marsh Furniture Co. Guilford County Dear Mr. Braswell: In response to your renewal application for continued coverage under NPDES stormwater permit NCS000092, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) is forwarding herewith the subject state - NPDES permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215 .1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the US Environmental Protection agency dated December 6, 1983. Please note that there are a number of floor drains inside the manufacturing buildings. Please be advised that these drains need to be plugged and/or disconnected from the stormwater collection system. Please note that the Division has revised the analytical monitoring strategy for individual storwater permits. Based on a review of the permit monitoring data received to date, the analytical monitoring measurement frequencies have been changed and cut-off concentrations have been removed. These changes will be implemented for all second term individual stormwater permits with analytical monitoring requirements. For those permits with analytical monitoring requirements, Part 11 Monitoring, Controls, and Limitations for Permitted discharges has been modified to reflect the change in monitoring strategy. The qualitative monitoring strategy remains the same as the first term of the permit. Please note that semi-annual qualitative monitoring is a requirement of the permit. Failure to complete the monitoring as required is a violation of the permit and any permit noncompliance constitutes it violation of the Clean Water Act. Reference Part III, Section A. Item 2 "Duty to Comply", Item 8 "Penalties for Tampering" and Item 10 "Penalties for Falsification of Reports" of your permit for further information. If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter.

This Plan shall be considered public information in accordance with Part III, Standard Conditions, Section E, Paragraph 3 of this individual permit. The Plan shall include, at a minimum, the following items: 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: (a) 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. (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. (c) A site map drawn to scale with the distance Iegend 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, existing BMPs 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. (d) 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 impacts. (e) Certification 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 III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3. 2. Stormwater Management Plan. The stormwater management plan shall contain a narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or minimize the exposure of significant materials to stormwater, including structural and Part II Page l of 6 Permit No. NCS000092 nonstructural measures. The stormwater management plan, at a minimum, shall incorporate the following: (a) Feasibility Study. A review of the technical and economic feasibility of changing the methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure of materials and processes to stormwater. Wherever practical, the permittee 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 stormwater management plan shall document the feasibility of diverting the stormwater runoff away from areas of potential contamination. (b) Secondary Containment Schedule. A schedule to provide secondary containment for bulk storage of liquid materials, storage of Section 313 of Title 111 of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority chemicals, or storage of hazardous substances 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] 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.

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 impacts. (S) Certification 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 II, Standard Conditions, Section B.9. Page 4 Permit No. NCS000092 b . Stormwater Management Plan. The stormwater management plan shall contain a narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or minimize the exposure of significant materials to stormwater, including structural and nonstructural measures. The stormwater management plan, at a minimum, shall incorporate the following: (1) A study addressing 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 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 Reauthorization 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] 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 of the facility. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the plan shall be identified in the plan. 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. d.

Minimum Monitoring -and Reporting RcQuirements Minimum monitoring and reporting requirements are as follows unless otherwise approved in writing by the Director of the Division of Environmental Management. 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 outfalls. b . Visual monitoring for color, odor, solids, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow shall be performed at all stormwater discharge outfall locations. All visual monitoring shall be documented and records maintained with the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. The initial visual monitoring event shall be performed simultaneously Page 6 Permit No. NCS000092 with the first analytical monitoring event and documentation of only this initial visual monitoring event shall be submitted along with the required analytical monitoring submittal. c. For purposes of the stormwater sampling required in this permit, all samples shall be collected from a discharge resulting from a representative storm event (See Part II, Standard Conditions, Section A). Failure to monitor storm events in accordance with the specified frequency shall constitute a violation of this permit. If the stormwater runoff is controlled by a detention pond, the following sampling requirements shall apply: (1) If the detention pond detains the runoff generated by one inch of rainfall for 24 hours, visual observations for color, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens, and dry weather flow are required, but analytical sampling shall not be required. (2) If the detention pond discharges only in response to a storm event exceeding a 25- year, 24-hour storm (See Part II, Standard Conditions, Section A), the pond shall be considered a non -discharging stormwater control system and not subject to NPDES requirements, unless the discharge causes a violation of water quality standards. d. Samples analyzed in accordance with the terms of this permit shall be submitted on forms provided by the Director no later than January 31 for the previous year in which sampling was required to be performed. e. Analytical results from sampling during the final year of the permit term shall be submitted with the permit renewal application. f. This permit regulates stormwater discharges. Non-stormwater discharges which shall be allowed in the stormwater conveyance system are: (1) All other discharges that are authorized by a non-stormwater NPDES permit. (2) Uncontaminated groundwater, foundation drains, air -conditioner condensate without added chemicals, springs, discharges of uncontaminated potable water, waterline and fire hydrant flushings, water from footing drains, flows from riparian habitats and wetlands. (3) Discharges resulting from fire -fighting. If the storm event monitored and reported in accordance with this permit coincides with a non-stormwater discharge, the permittee shall separately monitor and report all parameters as required under the non-stormwater discharge permit and provide this information with the stormwater discharge monitoring report.

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 Al2 (2) Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice within 24 hours of an unanticipated bypass as required in Part 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 property damage; (2) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary control facilities, retention of stormwater or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime orgy weather. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup controls should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to' prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and (3) The 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 will meet the three conditions listed above in Paragraph d. of this section. 4. Upsets a. Definition "Upset " means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment or control facilities, inadequate treatment or control facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation. b . Effect of an Upset. An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final administrative action subject to judicial review. C. Conditions Necessary for a Demonstration of Upset A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate, through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that: . (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 permmittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II, E. 5. (b) (B) of this permit (4) The permiu&-- complied with any remedial measures required under Part E, 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 anyother 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 Water Quality Section ATTEN nON.- Central Files Post Office Box 29535 Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535 3.

A Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for fecal coliform was approved in May 2004 for Richland Creek, but the Permittee was not allocated a load for stormwater discharge and is not required to monitor for fecal coliform at this time. If a TMDL for other pollutants of concern is approved for this segment of Richland Creek, the Permittee may be required to monitor those parameters 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. Part II Page 5 of 7 Permit No. NCS000092 SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of representative outfall status and shall be performed as specified below in Table 4. Qualitative monitoring is for the purpose of evaluating the effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and assessing new sources of stormwater pollution. No analytical tests are required. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls is performed when stormwater discharge occurs but does not need to be performed during a representative storm event. 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 Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. All qualitative monitoring will be performed twice pdr year,'orice inxtlie spring (April - June) and once in the fall (September - November). Table 4.
