DAYandfiveyears.) Permit No. VAR050933 Part I Page 1 of 8 EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS, MONITORING REQUIREMENTS AND SPECIAL CONDITIONS A. Effluent limitations and monitoring requirements. There are four individual and separate categories of monitoring requirements and numeric effluent limitations that a facility may be subject to under this permit. The monitoring requirements and numeric limitations applicable to a facility depend on the types of industrial activities generating storm water runoff from the facility. Part IV of the permit identifies monitoring requirements applicable to specific sectors of industrial activity. The permittee must review Part I A 1 and Part IV of the permit to determine which monitoring requirements and numeric limitations apply to his facility. Unless otherwise specified, limitations and monitoring requirements under Part I A 1 and Part IV are additive. Sector - specific monitoring requirements and limitations are applied discharge by discharge at facilities with colocated activities. Where storm water from the colocated activities are commingled, the monitoring requirements and limitations are additive. Where more than one numeric limitation for a specific parameter applies to a discharge, compliance with the more restrictive limitation is required. Where monitoring requirements for a monitoring period overlap (e.g., need to monitor TSS one /year for a limit and also one /year for benchmark monitoring), the permittee may use a single sample to satisfy both monitoring requirements. Types of monitoring requirements and limitations. a. Quarterly visual monitoring. The requirements and procedures for quarterly visual monitoring are applicable to all facilities covered under this permit, regardless of the facility's sector of industrial activity. 1) The permittee must perform and document a quarterly visual examination of a storm water discharge associated with industrial activity from each outfall, except discharges exempted below. Unless another schedule is established in applicable sectors of Part IV, the examination(s) must be made at least once in each of the following three -month periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and October through December. The visual examination must be made during daylight hours (e.g., normal working hours). - If no storm event resulted in runoff from the facility during a monitoring quarter, the permittee is excused from visual monitoring for that quarter provided that documentation is included with the monitoring records indicating that no runoff occurred. The documentation must be signed and certified in accordance with Part II K of this permit. 2) Visual examinations must be made of samples collected within the first 30 minutes (or as soon thereafter as practical, but not to exceed one hour) of when the runoff or snowmelt begins discharging from the facility. The examination must document observations of color, odor, clarity, floating solids, settled solids, suspended solids, foam, oil sheen, and other obvious indicators of storm water pollution. The examination must be conducted in a well -lit area. No analytical tests are required to be performed on the samples. All samples except snowmelt samples) must be collected from the discharge resulting from a storm event that is greater than 0.1 inches in magnitude and that occurs at least 72 hours from the previously measurable (greater than 0.1 inch rainfall) storm event. The 72 -hour storm interval is waived when the preceding measurable storm did not yield a measurable discharge, or if the permittee is able to document that less than a 72 -hour interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period. Where practicable, the Permit No. VAR050933 Part I Page 2 of 8 same individual should carry out the collection and examination of discharges for the entire permit term. If no qualifying storm event resulted in runoff from the facility during a monitoring quarter, the permittee is excused from visual monitoring for that quarter provided that documentation is included with the monitoring records indicating that no qualifying storm event occurred that resulted in storm water runoff during that quarter. The documentation must be signed and certified in accordance with Part II K. 3) The visual examination reports must be maintained on -site with the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan ( SWPPP). The report must include the outfall location, the examination date and time, examination personnel, the nature of the discharge (i.e., runoff or snow melt), visual quality of the storm water discharge (including observations of color, odor, clarity, floating solids, settled solids, suspended solids, foam, oil sheen, and other obvious indicators of storm water pollution), and probable sources of any observed storm water contamination. 4) Inactive and unstaffed sites: When the permittee is unable to conduct visual storm water examinations at an inactive and unstaffed site, a waiver of the monitoring requirement may be exercised as long as the facility remains inactive and unstaffed. If this waiver is exercised, the permittee must maintain a certification with the SWPPP stating that the site is inactive and unstaffed and that performing visual examinations during a qualifying event is not feasible. The waiver must be signed and certified in accordance with Part II K. b. Benchmark monitoring of discharges associated with specific industrial activities. Table 70 -1 identifies the specific industrial sectors subject to the benchmark monitoring requirements of this permit and the industry - specific pollutants of concern. The permittee must refer to the tables found in the individual sectors in Part IV for benchmark monitoring cut -off concentrations. Colocated industrial activities at the facility that are described in more than one sector in Part N must comply with all applicable benchmark monitoring requirements from each sector. The results of benchmark monitoring are primarily for the permittee to use to determine the overall effectiveness of the SWPPP in controlling the discharge of pollutants to receiving waters. Benchmark values, included in Part N of this permit, are not viewed as effluent limitations. An exceedance of a benchmark value does not, in and of itself, constitute a violation of this permit. While exceedance of a benchmark value does not automatically indicate that violation of a water quality standard has occurred, it does signal that modifications to the SWPPP may be necessary. In addition, exceedance of benchmark values may identify facilities that would be more appropriately covered under an individual, or alternative general permit where more specific pollution prevention controls could be required. TABLE 70 -1 INDUSTRIAL SECTORS SUBJECT TO BENCHMARK MONITORING Industry ustry Sub - sector Benchmark Monitoring Parameters D .........................Asphalt Paving and Roofing Materials ....TSS. Table does not include parameters for compliance monitoring under effluent limitations guidelines. 1) Monitoring periods for benchmark monitoring. Unless otherwise specified in Part IV, the benchmark monitoring period is July 1 to June 30 each year of the permit. If a facility falls within a sector(s) required to conduct benchmark monitoring, monitoring must be performed annually (once per year) during at least the first two, and potentially all, Permit No. VAR050933 Part I Page 3 of 8 monitoring periods, unless otherwise specified in the sector - specific requirements of Part IV. Depending on the results of two consecutive monitoring years, benchmark monitoring may not be required to be conducted in subsequent monitoring years (see subsection (2) below). 2) Benchmark monitoring waivers for facilities testing below benchmark values. All of the provisions of this subpart are available to permittees except as noted in Part IV. Waivers from benchmark monitoring are available to facilities whose discharges are below benchmark values, thus there is an incentive for facilities to improve the effectiveness of their SWPPPs in eliminating discharges of pollutants and avoid the cost of monitoring. On both a parameter by parameter and outfall by outfall basis, sector - specific benchmark monitoring is not required to be conducted in subsequent monitoring years provided: a) Samples were collected in two consecutive monitoring years, and the parameter concentrations were below the benchmark value in Part IV; and b) The facility is not subject to a numeric limitation for that parameter established in Part I A 1 c (Coal Pile Runoff) or Part IV (Sector Specific Permit Requirements); and c) A waiver request is submitted to and approved by the department. The waiver request should be sent to the appropriate regional office, along with the supporting monitoring data for two consecutive years, and a certification that, based on current potential pollutant sources and BMPs used, discharges from the facility are reasonably expected to be essentially the same (or cleaner) compared to when the benchmark monitoring for the two consecutive monitoring years was done. 3) Samples must be collected and analyzed in accordance with Part I A 2 b. For each outfall, one signed Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) form must be maintained on -site with the SWPPP for each storm event sampled. Monitoring results must be retained in accordance with Part II B. 4) Inactive and unstaffed sites. If the permittee is unable to conduct benchmark monitoring at an inactive and unstaffed site, a waiver of the monitoring requirement may be exercised as long as the facility remains inactive and unstaffed. If the permittee exercises this waiver, a certification must be submitted to the department and maintained with the SWPPP stating that the site is inactive and unstaffed and that performing benchmark monitoring during a qualifying storm event is not feasible. The waiver must be signed and certified in accordance with Part II K. c. Not applicable d. Compliance monitoring for discharges subject to numerical effluent limitation guidelines. 1) Facilities subject to storm water effluent limitation guidelines are required to monitor such discharges to evaluate compliance with numerical effluent limitations. Industry- specific numerical limitations and compliance monitoring requirements are described in Part IV of the permit. Colocated industrial activities at the facility that are described in more than one sector in Part IV must comply on a discharge -by- discharge basis with all applicable effluent limitations from each sector. Permittees shall monitor the discharges for the presence of the pollutant subject to the effluent limitation at least annually (once per year). 2) Samples must be collected and analyzed in accordance with Part I A 2 b. The representative outfalls provision of Part I A 2 d, the alternative certification provision of Part I A 3 b, and the low concentration waiver of Part I A 1 b(2) are not applicable to storm water discharge monitoring for compliance with effluent limitations. Results of all compliance monitoring must be reported in accordance with Part I A 4 and Part II C, and retained in accordance with Part II B. u' Permit No. VAR050933 Part I Page 4 of 8 TABLE 70 -3 EFFLUENT LIMITATION GUIDELINES APPLICABLE TO DISCHARGES THAT MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR PERMIT COVERAGE 2. Monitoring instructions. a. Monitoring periods. Permittees that are required to conduct monitoring on an annual or quarterly basis must collect samples within the following time periods (unless otherwise specified in Part IV): 1) The monitoring year is from July 1 to June 30. 2) If a facility's permit coverage was effective less than one month from the end of a quarterly or yearly monitoring period, the first monitoring period starts with the next respective monitoring period (e.g., if permit coverage begins March 5, the permittee would not need to start quarterly sampling until the April -June quarter, but the permittee would only have from March 5 to June 30 to complete that year's annual monitoring). b. Collection and analysis of samples. Sampling requirements must be assessed on an outfall by outfall basis. Samples must be collected and analyzed in accordance with the requirements of Part II A. When and How to Sample. A minimum of one grab sample must be taken from the discharge associated with industrial activity resulting from a storm event with at least 0.1 inch of precipitation (defined as a "measurable" event), providing the interval from the preceding measurable storm is at least 72 hours. The 72 -hour storm interval is waived when the preceding measurable storm did not yield a measurable discharge, or if the permittee is able to document that less than a 72 -hour interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period. The grab sample must be taken during the first 30 minutes of the discharge. If it is not practicable to take the sample during the first 30 minutes, the sample may be taken during the first hour of discharge provided that the permittee explains why a grab sample during the first 30 minutes was impracticable. This information must be submitted on or with the Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR), or maintained with the SWPPP if reports are not required to be submitted. If the sampled discharge commingles with process or nonprocess water, the permittee must attempt to sample the storm water discharge before it mixes with the nonstorm water. c. Storm event data. Along with the monitoring results, the permittee must provide the date and duration (in hours) of the storm event(s) sampled; rainfall measurements or estimates (in inches) of the storm event that generated the sampled runoff, the duration between the storm event sampled and the end of the previous measurable (greater than 0.1 inch rainfall) storm event; and an estimate of the total volume (in gallons) of the discharge sampled.

Monitoring periods. Permittees that are required to conduct monitoring on an annual or quarterly basis must collect samples within the following time periods (unless otherwise specified in Part IV): 1) The monitoring year is from July 1 to June 30. 2) If a facility's permit coverage was effective less than one month from the end of a quarterly or yearly monitoring period, the first monitoring period starts with the next respective monitoring period (e.g., if permit coverage begins March 5, the permittee would not need to start quarterly sampling until the April -June quarter, but the permittee would only have from March 5 to June 30 to complete that year's annual monitoring). b. Collection and analysis of samples. Sampling requirements must be assessed on an outfall by outfall basis. Samples must be collected and analyzed in accordance with the requirements of Part II A. When and How to Sample. A minimum of one grab sample must be taken from the discharge associated with industrial activity resulting from a storm event with at least 0.1 inch of precipitation (defined as a "measurable" event), providing the interval from the preceding measurable storm is at least 72 hours. The 72 -hour storm interval is waived when the preceding measurable storm did not yield a measurable discharge, or if the permittee is able to document that less than a 72 -hour interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period. The grab sample must be taken during the first 30 minutes of the discharge. If it is not practicable to take the sample during the first 30 minutes, the sample may be taken during the first hour of discharge provided that the permittee explains why a grab sample during the first 30 minutes was impracticable. This information must be submitted on or with the Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR), or maintained with the SWPPP if reports are not required to be submitted. If the sampled discharge commingles with process or nonprocess water, the permittee must attempt to sample the storm water discharge before it mixes with the nonstorm water. c. Storm event data. Along with the monitoring results, the permittee must provide the date and duration (in hours) of the storm event(s) sampled; rainfall measurements or estimates (in inches) of the storm event that generated the sampled runoff, the duration between the storm event sampled and the end of the previous measurable (greater than 0.1 inch rainfall) storm event; and an estimate of the total volume (in gallons) of the discharge sampled. A Permit No. VAR050933 Part I Page 5 of 8 d. Representative outfalls - essentially identical discharges. If a facility has two or more outfalls that discharge substantially identical effluents, based on similarities of the industrial activities, significant materials or storm water management practices occurring within the drainage areas of the outfalls, the permittee may test the effluent of just one of the outfalls and report that the quantitative data also applies to the substantially identical outfall(s). This outfall monitoring waiver for substantially identical discharges applies to quarterly visual monitoring as well, but does not apply to compliance monitoring for discharges subject to numerical effluent limitation guidelines (see Part I A 1 d(2)). The permittee must include the following information in the SWPPP, and in any DMRs that are required to be submitted to the department: 1) The locations of the outfalls; 2) Why the outfalls are expected to discharge substantially identical effluents; 3) Estimates of the size of the drainage area (in square feet) for each of the outfalls; and 4) An estimate of the runoff coefficient of the drainage areas (low: under 40 %; medium: 40% to 65 %; high: above 65 %). 3. Monitoring waivers. Unless specifically stated otherwise, the following waivers may be applied to any monitoring required under this permit. a. Adverse climatic conditions waiver. When adverse weather conditions prevent the collection of samples, a substitute sample may be taken during a qualifying storm event in the next monitoring period. Adverse weather conditions are those that are dangerous or create inaccessibility for personnel, and may include such things as local flooding, high winds, electrical storms, or situations that otherwise make sampling impracticable, such as drought or extended frozen conditions. b. Alternative certification of "Not Present" or "No Exposure." The permittee is not subject to the benchmark monitoring requirements of Part I A 1 b provided: 1) A certification is made for a given outfall, or on a pollutant -by- pollutant basis in lieu of monitoring required under Part I A 1 b, that material handling equipment or activities, raw materials, intermediate products, final products, waste materials, by- products, industrial machinery or operations, or significant materials from past industrial activity that are located in areas of the facility within the drainage area of the outfall are not presently exposed to storm water and are not expected to be exposed to storm water for the certification period; and 2) The certification is signed in accordance with Part II K, submitted to the department, and a copy retained with the SWPPP; and 3) If certification cannot be made for an entire period, the permittee must document the date exposure was eliminated and must perform any monitoring required up until that date; and 4) No numeric limitation for that parameter is established in Part IV. 4. Reporting monitoring results. a. Reporting to the department. Depending on the types of monitoring required at a permitted facility, monitoring results may have to be submitted or they may only have to be kept with the SWPPP. The permittee must follow the reporting requirements and deadlines below for the types of monitoring that apply to the facility: Permit No. VAR050933 Part I Page 6 of 8 TABLE 70 -4 Monitoring Reporting Requirements Monitoring for Numeric Submit results on a DMR by the 10th day of the month after Limitation ....monitoring takes place. Benchmark Monitoring ..........Retain results with SWPPP - do not submit unless requested to do so by the Department. Visual Monitoring ..................Retain results with SWPPP - do not submit unless requested to do so by the Department. Permittees that are required to submit monitoring shall submit results for each outfall associated with industrial activity according to the requirements of Part II C. For each outfall, one signed discharge monitoring report (DMR) form must be submitted to the department per storm event sampled. b. Additional reporting. In addition to filing copies of discharge monitoring reports in accordance with Part H C , permittees with at least one storm water discharge associated with industrial activity through a municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4), or a municipal system designated by the director, must submit signed copies of DMRs to the MS4 operator at the same time. Permittees not required to report monitoring data and permittees that are not otherwise required to monitor their discharges need not comply with this provision. B. Special conditions. 1. Allowable nonstorm water discharges. Except as provided in this section or in Part IV, all discharges covered by this permit shall be composed entirely of storm water. The following nonstorm water discharges are authorized by this permit provided the nonstorm water component of the discharge is in compliance with Part III D 2 ( Nonstorm water discharges) of this general permit: a. Discharges from fire fighting activities; b. Fire hydrant flushings; c. Potable water including water line flushings; d. Uncontaminated air conditioning or compressor condensate; e. Irrigation drainage; f. Landscape watering provided all pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizer have been applied in accordance with manufacturer's instructions; g. Routine external building wash down that does not use detergents ; h. Pavement wash waters where no detergents are used and no spills or leaks of toxic or hazardous materials have occurred (unless all spilled material has been removed) ; i. Uncontaminated ground water or spring water; j. Foundation or footing drains where flows are not contaminated with process materials such as solvents; and k. Incidental windblown mist from cooling towers that collects on rooftops or adjacent portions of the facility, but not intentional discharges from the cooling tower (e.g., "piped" cooling tower blowdown or drains). All other nonstorm water discharges must be in compliance with a VPDES permit (other than this permit) issued for the discharge. Permit No. VAR050933 Part I Page 7 of 8 2. Releases of hazardous substances or oil in excess of reportable quantities. The discharge of hazardous substances or oil in the storm water discharge(s) from the facility shall be prevented or minimized in accordance with the storm water pollution prevention plan for the facility. This permit does not authorize the discharge of hazardous substances or oil resulting from an on -site spill. This permit does not relieve the permittee of the reporting requirements of 40 CFR Part 110 2002), 40 CFR Part 117 (2002) and 40 CFR Part 302 (2002) or § 62.1 - 44.34:19 of the Code of Virginia. Where a release containing a hazardous substance or oil in an amount equal to or in excess of a reportable quantity established under either 40 CFR Part 110 (2002), 40 CFR Part 117 (2002) or40CFRPart302 (2002) occurs during a 24 -hour period: a. The permittee is required to notify the department in accordance with the requirements of Part H G as soon as he has knowledge of the discharge; b. Where a release enters a municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4), the permittee shall also notify the owner of the MS4; and c. The storm water pollution prevention plan required under Part III must be reviewed to identify measures to prevent the reoccurrence of such releases and to respond to such releases, and the plan must be modified where appropriate. 3. Colocated industrial activity. If the facility has industrial activities occurring on -site which are described by any of the activities in Part IV of the permit, those industrial activities are considered to be colocated industrial activities. Storm water discharges from colocated industrial activities are authorized by this permit, provided that the permittee complies with any and all additional pollution prevention plan and monitoring requirements from Part IV applicable to that particular colocated industrial activity. The permittee shall determine which additional pollution prevention plan and monitoring requirements are applicable to the colocated industrial activity by examiningthenarrativedescriptionsofeachcoveragesection (Discharges covered under this section). 4. The storm water discharges authorized by this permit may be combined with other sources of storm water which are not required to be covered under a VPDES permit, so long as the combined discharge is in compliance with this permit. 5. There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts. 6. Additional requirements for salt storage. Storage piles of salt used for deicing or other commercial or industrial purposes must be enclosed or covered to prevent exposure to precipitation (except for exposure resulting from adding or removing materials from the pile). Piles do not need to be enclosed or covered where storm water from the pile is not discharged to state waters or the discharges from the piles are authorized under another permit. 7. Water quality protection. The permittee must select, install, implement and maintain best management practices (BMPs) at the facility that minimize pollutants in the storm water discharges as necessary to meet applicable water quality standards. If there is evidence indicatingthatthestormwaterdischargesauthorizedbythispermitarecausing, have the reasonable potential to cause, or are contributing to an excursion above an applicable water quality standard, Permit No. VAR050933 Part I Page 8 of "S or are causing downstream pollution (as defined in § 62.1 -44.3 of the Code of Virginia), the board may take appropriate enforcement action, may require the permittee to include and implement appropriate controls in the SWPPP to correct the problem, and/or may require the permittee to obtain an individual permit in accordance with 9 VAC 25 -31 -170 B 3.

Except as provided in permit conditions on "bypassing" (Part II U), and "upset" (Part II V) nothing in this permit shall be construed to relieve the permittee from civil and criminal penalties for noncompliance. P. Oil and hazardous substance liability. Nothing in this permit shall be construed to preclude the institution of any legal action or relieve the permittee from any responsibilities, liabilities, or penalties to which the permittee is or may be subject under §§ 62.1- 44.34:14 through 62.1- 44.34:23 of the State Water Control Law. Q. Proper operation and maintenance. 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 effective plant performance, adequate funding, adequate staffing, and adequate laboratory and process controls, including appropriate quality assurance procedures. This provision requires the operation of back -up or auxiliary facilities or similar systems which are installed by the permittee only when the operation is necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit. R. Disposal of solids or sludges. Solids, sludges or other pollutants removed in the course of treatment or management of pollutants shall be disposed of in a manner so as to prevent any pollutant from such materials from entering state waters. Permit No. VAR050933 Part II Page 6 of 7 S. Duty to mitigate. The permittee shall take all reasonable steps to minimize or prevent any discharge or sludge use or disposal in violation of this permit which has a reasonable likelihood of adverselyaffectinghumanhealthortheenvironment. T. Need to halt or reduce activity not a defense. 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 conditions of this permit. U. Bypass. 1. 'Bypass" means the intentional diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility.The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent 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 Part II U 2 and 3. 2. Notice. a. Anticipated bypass. If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, prior notice shall be submitted, if possible at least 10 days before the date of the bypass. b. Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as requiredinPartIII. 3. Prohibition of bypass. a. Bypass is prohibited, and the board 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 treatment facilities, retention of untreated wastes, or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate back -up equipment 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 permittee submitted notices as required under Part II U 2. b. The board may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its adverse effects, if the board determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above in Part II U 3 a. V. Upset. 1. An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with technologybasedpermiteffluentlimitationsiftherequirementsofPartIIV2aremet. A determination made during administrative review of claims that noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is not a final administrative action subject to judicial review. 2. A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate, throughproperlysigned, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that: a. An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset; b. The permitted facility was at the time being properly operated; c. The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part 11 1; and d. The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part II S. 3. In any enforcement proceeding the permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an upset has theburdenofproof. Permit No. VAR050933 Part II Page 7 of 7 W. Inspection and entry. The permittee shall allow the director, or an authorized representative, uponpresentationofcredentialsandotherdocumentsasmayberequiredbylaw, to: 1.

For purposes of this section, the time for inspection shall be deemed reasonable during regular business hours, and whenever the facility is discharging. Nothing contained herein shall make an inspection unreasonable during an emergency. X. Permit actions. Permits may be modified, revoked and reissued, or terminated for cause. The filing of a request by the permittee for a permit modification, revocation and reissuance, or termination, or a notification of planned changes or anticipated noncompliance does not stay any permit condition. Y. Transfer of permits. 1. Permits are not transferable to any person except after notice to the department. Except as provided in Part II Y 2, a permit may be transferred by the permittee to a new owner or operator only if the permit has been modified or revoked and reissued, or a minor modification made, to identify the new permittee and incorporate such other requirements as may be necessary under the State Water Control Law and the Clean Water Act. 2. As an alternative to transfers under Part II Y 1, this permit may be automatically transferred to a new permittee if. a. The current permittee notifies the department at least 30 days in advance of the proposed transfer of the title to the facility or property; b. The notice includes a written agreement between the existing and new permittees containing a specific date for transfer of permit responsibility, coverage, and liability between them; and c. The board does not notify the existing permittee and the proposed new permittee of its intent to modify or revoke and reissue the permit. If this notice is not received, the transfer is effective on the date specified in the agreement mentioned in Part II Y 2 b. Z. Severability. The provisions of this permit are severable, and if any provision of this permit or the application of any provision of this permit to any circumstance, is held invalid, the application of such provision to other circumstances, and the remainder of this permit, shall not be affected thereby. Permit No. VAR050933 Part III Page 1 of 8 STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN A Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan ( SWPPP) must be developed for the facility covered by this permit. The SWPPP shall be prepared in accordance with good engineering practicesand shall identify potential sources of pollution that may reasonably be expected to affect the quality of storm water discharges from the facility. In addition, the plan shall describe and ensure the implementation of practices that will be used to reduce the pollutants in storm water discharges from the facility, and shall assure compliance with the terms and conditions of this permit. Permittees must implement the provisions of the SWPPP as a condition of this permit. The SWPPP requirements of this general permit may be fulfilled by incorporating by reference other plans or documents such as an erosion and sediment control (ESC) plan, a spill prevention control and countermeasure (SPCC) plan developed for the facility under § 311 of the Clean Water Act or best management practices (BMP) programs otherwise required for the facility provided that the incorporated plan meets or exceeds the plan requirements of Part III B (Contents of the Plan). If an ESC plan is being incorporated by reference, it shall have been approved by the locality in which the activity is to occur or by another appropriate plan approving authority authorized under the Erosion and Sediment Control Regulations, 4 VAC 50 -30 -10 et seq. All plans incorporated by reference into the SWPPP become enforceable under this permit. A. Deadlines for plan preparation and compliance. 1. Facilities that were covered under the 1999 Industrial Storm Water General Permit. Owners of facilities that were covered under the 1999 Industrial Storm Water General Permit who are continuing coverage under this general permit shall update and implement any revisions to the SWPPP not later than August 30, 2004. 2. New facilities, facilities previously covered by an expiring individual permit, and existing facilities not currently covered by a VPDES permit. Owners of new facilities, facilities previously covered by an expiring individual permit, and existing facilities not currently covered by a VPDES permit who elect to be covered under this general permit must prepare and implement the SWPPP prior to submitting the registration statement. 3. New owners of existing facilities. Where the owner of an existing facility that is covered by this permit changes, the new owner of the facility must update and implement any revisions to the SWPPP within 60 days of the ownership change. 4. Extensions. Upon a showing of good cause, the director may establish a later date in writing for the preparation and compliance with the SWPPP. B. Contents of the plan. The contents of the SWPPP shall comply with the requirements listed below and those in the appropriate sectors of Part IV. These requirements are cumulative. If a facility has colocated activities that are covered in more than one sector of Part IV, that facility's pollution prevention plan must comply with the requirements listed in all applicable sectors. The following requirements are applicable to all SWPPPs developed under this general permit. The plan shall include, at a minimum, the following items: 1. Pollution prevention team. The plan shall identify the staff individuals by name or title that comprise the facility's storm water pollution prevention team. The pollution prevention team is responsible for assisting the facility or plant manager in developing, implementing, maintaining, and revising the facility's SWPPP. Responsibilities of each staff individual on the team must be listed. Permit No. VAR050933 Part III Page 2 of 8 2. Site description. The SWPPP shall include the following: a. Activities at the facility. A description of the nature of the industrial activity(ies) at the facility. b. General location map. A general location map (e.g., USGS quadrangle or other map) with enough detail to identify the location of the facility and the receiving waters within one mile of the facility. c. Site map. A site Map identifying the following: 1) Directions of storm water flow (e.g., use arrows to show which ways storm water will flow); 2) Locations of all existing structural BMPs; 3) Locations of all surface water bodies; 4) Locations of potential pollutant sources identified under Part III B 3 and where significant materials are exposed to precipitation; 5) Locations where major spills or leaks identified under Part III B 4 have occurred; 6) Locations of the following activities where such activities are exposed to precipitation: fueling stations; vehicle and equipment maintenance and/or cleaning areas; loading/unloading areas; locations used for the treatment, storage or disposal of wastes; and liquid storage tanks; 7) Locations of storm water outfalls and an approximate outline of the area draining to each outfall; 8) Location and description of nonstorm water discharges; 9) Locations of the following activities where such activities are exposed to precipitation: processing and storage areas; access roads, rail cars and tracks; the location of transfer of substance in bulk; and machinery; and 10) Location and source of runoff from adjacent property containing significant quantities of pollutants of concern to the facility (the permittee may include an evaluation of how the quality of the storm water running onto the facility impacts the facility's storm water discharges). d. Receiving waters and wetlands. The name of the nearest receiving water(s), including intermittent streams, dry sloughs, arroyos and the areal extent and description of wetland sites that may receive discharges from the facility. 3. Summary of potential pollutant sources. The plan shall identify each separate area at the facility where industrial materials or activities are exposed to storm water. Industrial materials or activities include, but are not limited to: material handling equipment or activities, industrial machinery, raw materials, intermediate products, byproducts, final products, or waste products. Material handling activities include the storage, loading and unloading, transportation, or conveyance of any raw material, intermediate product, final product or waste product. For each separate area identified, the description must include: a. Activities in area. A list of the activities (e.g., material storage, equipment fueling and cleaning, cutting steel beams); and b. Pollutants. A list of the associated pollutant(s) or pollutant parameter(s) (e.g., crankcase oil, iron, biochemical oxygen demand, pH, etc.) for each activity. The pollutant list must include all significant materials that have been handled, treated, stored or disposed in a manner to allow exposure to storm water between the time of three years before being covered under this permit and the present. 4. Spills and leaks. The SWPPP must clearly identify areas where potential spills and leaks that can contribute pollutants to storm water discharges can occur and their accompanying drainage points. For areas that are exposed to precipitation or that otherwise drain to a storm water conveyance at the facility to be covered under this permit, the plan must include a list of Permit No. VAR050933 Part III Page 3 of 8 significant spills and leaks of toxic or hazardous pollutants that occurred during the three -year period prior to the date of the submission of a registration statement. The list must be updated if significant spills or leaks occur in exposed areas of the facility during the term of the permit. Significant spills and leaks include releases of oil or hazardous substances in excess of reportable quantities, and may also include releases of oil or hazardous substances that are not in excess of reporting requirements. 5. Sampling data. The plan must include a summary of existing discharge sampling data taken at the facility, and must also include a summary of sampling data collected during the term of this permit. 6. Storm water controls. The SWPPP shall include a description of storm water management controls appropriate for the facility. The description of controls shall address the following minimum components: a. Description of existing and planned BMPs. The plan shall describe the type and location of existing nonstructural and structural best management practices (BMPs) selected for each of the areas where industrial materials or activities are exposed to storm water. All the areas identified in Part III B 3 (summary of potential pollutant sources) should have a BMP(s) identified for the area's discharges. For areas where BMPs are not currently in place, include a description of appropriate BMPs that will be used to control pollutants in storm water discharges. Selection of BMPs should take into consideration: 1) The quantity and nature of the pollutants, and their potential to impact the water quality of receiving waters; 2) Opportunities to combine the dual purposes of water quality protection and local flood control benefits, including physical impacts of high flows on streams (e.g., bank erosion, impairment of aquatic habitat, etc.); 3) Opportunities to offset the impact of impervious areas of the facility on ground water recharge and base flows in local streams, taking into account the potential for ground water contamination. b. BMP types to be considered. The permittee must consider the following types of structural, nonstructural and other BMPs for implementation at the facility. The SWPPP shall describe how each BMP is, or will be, implemented. If this requirement was fulfilled with the area - specific BMPs identified under Part III B 6 a, then the previous description is sufficient. However, many of the following BMPs may be more generalized or non - site - specific and therefore not previously considered. If the permittee determines that any of these BMPs are not appropriate for the facility, an explanation of why they are not appropriate shall be included in the plan. The BMP examples listed below are not intended to be an exclusive list of BMPs that may be used. The permittee is encouraged to keep abreast of new BMPs or new applications of existing BMPs to find the most cost effective means of permit compliance for the facility. If BMPs are being used or planned at the facility that are not listed here (e.g., replacing a chemical with a less toxic alternative, adopting a new or innovative BMP, etc.), descriptions of them shall be included in this section of the SWPPP. 1) Nonstructural BMPs. a) Good housekeeping. The permittee must keep all exposed areas of the facility in a clean, orderly manner where such exposed areas could contribute pollutants to storm water discharges. Common problem areas include around trash containers, storage areas and loading docks. Measures must also include a schedule for regular pickup and disposal of garbage and waste materials; routine inspections for leaks and conditions of drums, tanks and containers. x Permit No. VAR050933 Part III Page 4 of 8 b) Minimizing exposure. Where practicable, industrial materials and activities should be protected by a storm- resistant shelter to prevent exposure to rain, snow, snowmelt, or runoff. Note: Eliminating exposure at all industrial areas may make the facility eligible for the Conditional Exclusion for No Exposure" provision of 9 VAC 25 -31 -120 F, thereby eliminating the need to have a permit. c) Preventive maintenance. The permittee must have a preventive maintenance program that includes timely inspection and maintenance of storm water management devices (e.g., cleaning oil/water separators, catch basins), as well as inspection, testing, maintenance and repairing of facility equipment and systems to avoid breakdowns or failures that could result in discharges of pollutants to surface waters. d) Spill prevention and response procedures. The plan must describe the procedures that will be followed for cleaning up spills or leaks. The procedures and necessary spill response equipment must be made available to those employees who may cause or detect a spill or leak. Where appropriate, the plan must include an explanation of existing or planned material handling procedures, storage requirements, secondary containment, and equipment (e.g., diversion valves), that are intended to minimize spills or leaks at the facility. Measures for cleaning up hazardous material spills or leaks must be consistent with applicable RCRA regulations at 40 CFR Part 264 (2002) and 40 CFR Part 265 (2002). e) Routine facility inspections. Facility personnel who are familiar with the industrial activity, the BMPs and the storm water pollution prevention plan shall be identified to inspect all areas of the facility where industrial materials or activities are exposed to storm water. These inspections are in addition to, or as part of, the comprehensive site evaluation required under Part III E, and must include an evaluation of the existing storm water BMPs. The inspection frequency shall be specified in the plan based upon a consideration of the level of industrial activity at the facility, but shall be a minimum of quarterly unless more frequent intervals are specified elsewhere in the permit. Any deficiencies in the implementation of the SWPPP that are found must be corrected as soon as practicable, but not later than within 14 days of the inspection, unless permission for a later date is granted in writing by the director. The results of the inspections must be documented in the SWPPP, along with any corrective actions that were taken in response to any deficiencies or opportunities for improvement that were identified. f) Employee training. The SWPPP must describe the storm water employee training program for the facility. The description should include the topics to be covered, such as spill response, good housekeeping, and material management practices, and must identify periodic dates for such training (e.g., every six months during the months of July and January). Employee training must be provided for all employees who work in areas where industrial materials or activities are exposed to storm water, and for employees who are responsible for implementing activities identified in the SWPPP (e.g., inspectors, maintenance people). The training should inform employees of the components and goals of the SWPPP. 2) Structural BMPs. a) Sediment and erosion control. The plan shall identify areas at the facility that, due to topography, land disturbance (e.g., construction), or other factors, have a potential for significant soil erosion. The plan must identify structural, vegetative, and/or stabilization BMPs that will be implemented to limit erosion. b) Management of runoff. The plan shall describe the traditional storm water management practices (permanent structural BMPs other than those that control the generation or source(s) of pollutants) that currently exist or that are planned for the facility. These types of BMPs are Permit No, VAR050933 Part III Page 5 of 8 typically used to divert, infiltrate, reuse, or otherwise reduce pollutants in storm water discharges from the site. The plan shall provide that all measures that the permittee determines to be reasonable and appropriate, or are required by a state or local authority shall be implemented and maintained. Factors for the permittee to consider when selecting appropriate BMPs should include: i) The industrial materials and activities that are exposed to storm water, and the associated pollutant potential of those materials and activities; and ii) The beneficial and potential detrimental effects on surface water quality, ground water quality, receiving water base flow (dry weather stream flow), and physical integrity of receiving waters. Structural measures should be placed on upland soils, avoiding wetlands and floodplains, if possible. Structural BMPs may require a separate permit under § 404 of the CWA before installation begins. c) Example BMPs. BMPs that could be used include but are not limited to: storm water detention structures (including wet ponds); storm water retention structures; flow attenuation by use of open vegetated swales and natural depressions; infiltration of runoff on -site; and sequential systems (which combine several practices). d) Other Controls. Off -site vehicle tracking of raw, final, or waste materials or sediments, and the generation of dust must be minimized. Tracking or blowing of raw, final, or waste materials from areas of no exposure to exposed areas must be minimized. Velocity dissipation devices (or equivalent measures) must be placed at discharge locations and along the length of any outfall channel if they are necessary to provide a nonerosive flow velocity from the structure to a water course. C. Maintenance. All BMPs identified in the SWPPP must be maintained in effective operating condition. If site inspections required by Part III E identify BMPs that are not operating effectively, maintenance must be performed before the next anticipated storm event, or as necessary to maintain the continued effectiveness of storm water controls. If maintenance prior to the next anticipated storm event is impracticable, maintenance must be scheduled and accomplished as soon as practicable. In the case of nonstructural BMPs, the effectiveness of the BMP must be maintained by appropriate means (e.g., spill response supplies available and personnel trained, etc.). D. Nonstorm water discharges. 1. Certification of nonstorm water discharges. a. The SWPPR must include a certification that all discharges (i.e., outfalls) have been tested or evaluated for the presence of nonstorm water. The certification must be signed in accordance with Part II K of this permit, and include: 1) The date of any testing and/or evaluation; 2) Identification of potential significant sources of nonstorm water at the site; 3) A description of the results of any test and/or evaluation for the presence of nonstorm water discharges; 4) A description of the evaluation criteria or testing method used; and 5) A list of the outfalls or on -site drainage points that were directly observed during the test. b. A new certification does not need to be signed if one was completed for the 1999 Industrial Storm Water General Permit and the permittee has no reason to believe conditions at the facility have changed.

If the permittee is unable to provide the certification required (testing for nonstorm water discharges), the director must be notified 180 days after submitting a registration statement to be covered by this permit. If the failure to certify is caused by the inability to perform adequate tests or evaluations, such notification must describe: 1) The reason(s) why certification was not possible; 2) The procedure of any test attempted; 3) The results of such test or other relevant observations; and 4) Potential sources of nonstorm water discharges to the storm sewer. d. A copy of the notification must be included in the SWPPP at the facility. Nonstorm water discharges to state waters that are not authorized by a VPDES permit are unlawful, and must be terminated. 2. Allowable nonstorm water discharges. a. The sources of nonstorm water listed in Part I B 1 (allowable nonstorm water discharges) are allowable discharges under this permit provided the permittee includes the following information in the SWPPP: 1) Identification of each allowable nonstorm water source, except for flows from fire fighting activities; 2) The location where the nonstorm water is likely to be discharged; and 3) Descriptions of any BMPs that are being used for each source. b. If mist blown from cooling towers is included as one of the allowable nonstorm water discharges from the facility, the permittee must specifically evaluate the potential for the discharges to be contaminated by chemicals used in the cooling tower and must select and implement BMPs to control such discharges so that the levels of cooling tower chemicals in the discharges would not cause or contribute to a violation of an applicable water quality standard. E. Comprehensive site compliance evaluation. The permittee shall conduct facility inspections (site compliance evaluations) at least once a year. The inspections must be done by qualified personnel who may be either facility employees or outside constituents hired by the facility. The inspectors must be familiar with the industrial activity, the BMPs and the SWPPP, and must possess the skills to assess conditions at the facility that could impact storm water quality, and to assess the effectiveness of the BMPs that have been chosen to control the quality of the storm water discharges. If more frequent inspections are conducted, the SWPPP must specify the frequency of inspections. 1. Scope of the compliance evaluation. Inspections must include all areas where industrial materials or activities are exposed to storm water, as identified in Part III B 3, and areas where spills and leaks have occurred within the past three years. Inspectors should look for: a. Industrial materials, residue or trash on the ground that could contaminate or be washed away in storm water; b. Leaks or spills from industrial equipment, drums, barrels, tanks or similar containers; c. Off -site tracking of industrial materials or sediment where vehicles enter or exit the site; d. Tracking or blowing of raw, final, or waste materials from areas of no exposure to exposed areas; and e. Evidence of, or the potential for, pollutants entering the drainage system. Results of both visual and any analytical monitoring done during the year must be taken into consideration during the evaluation. Storm water BMPs identified in the SWPPP must be observed to ensure that they are operating correctly. Where discharge locations or points are accessible, they must be inspected to see whether BMPs are effective in preventing significant Permit No. VAR050933 Part III Page 7 of 8 impacts to receiving waters. Where discharge locations are inaccessible, nearby downstream locations must be inspected if possible. 2. Based on the results of the inspection, the SWPPP shall be modified as necessary (e.g., show additional controls on the map required by Part III B 2 c; revise the description of controls required by Part III B 6 to include additional or modified BMPs designed to correct problems identified). Revisions to the SWPPP shall be completed within two weeks following the inspection, unless permission for a later date is granted in writing by the director. If existing BMPs need to be modified or if additional BMPs are necessary, implementation must be completed before the next anticipated storm event, if practicable, but not more than 12 weeks after completion of the comprehensive site evaluation, unless permission for a later date is granted in writing by the director; 3. Compliance evaluation report. A report summarizing the scope of the inspection, name(s) of personnel making the inspection, the date(s) of the inspection, and major observations relating to the implementation of the SWPPP, and actions taken in accordance with Part III E 2 shall be made and retained as part of the SWPPP for at least three years from the date of the inspection. Major observations should include: the location(s) of discharges of pollutants from the site; location(s) of BMPs that need to be maintained; location(s) of BMPs that failed to operate as designed or proved inadequate for a particular location; and location(s) where additional BMPs are needed that did not exist at the time of inspection. The report shall identify any incidents of noncompliance. Where a report does not identify any incidents of noncompliance, the report shall contain a certification that the facility is in compliance with the SWPPP and this permit. The report shall be signed in accordance with Part II K; and 4. Where compliance evaluation schedules overlap with routine inspections required under Part III B 6 b(1)(e), the annual compliance evaluation may be used as one of the routine inspections. F. Signature and plan review. 1. Signature /location. The plan shall be signed in accordance with Part II K, and retained on -site at the facility covered by this permit in accordance with Part II B 2. For inactive facilities, the plan may be kept at the nearest office of the permittee. 2. Availability. The permittee shall make the SWPPP, annual site compliance inspection report, and other information available to the department upon request. 3. Required modifications. The director may notify the permittee at any time that the plan does not meet one or more of the minimum requirements of this permit. The notification shall identify those provisions of the permit that are not being met, as well as the required modifications. The permittee shall make the required changes to the SWPPP within 60 days of receipt of such notification, unless permission for a later date is granted in writing by the director, and shall submit a written certification to the director that the requested changes have been made. G. Maintaining an updated SWPPP. The permittee shall amend the SWPPP whenever: 1. There is a change in design, construction, operation, or maintenance at the facility that has a significant effect on the discharge, or the potential for the discharge, of pollutants from the facility; 2. During inspections, monitoring, or investigations by facility personnel or by local, state, or federal officials it is determined that the SWPPP is ineffective in eliminating or significantly minimizing pollutants from sources identified under Part III B 3, or is otherwise not achieving the general objectives of controlling pollutants in discharges from the facility. Permit No. VAR050933 Part III Page 8 of 8 H. Special pollution prevention plan requirements. 1. Additional requirements for storm water discharges associated with industrial activity that discharge into or through municipal separate storm sewer systems. a. In addition to the applicable requirements of this permit, facilities covered by this permit must comply with applicable requirements in municipal storm water management programs developed under VPDES permits issued for the discharge of the municipal separate storm sewer system that receives the facility's discharge, provided the permittee has been notified of such conditions. b. Permittees that discharge storm water associated with industrial activity through a municipal separate storm sewer system , or a municipal system designated by the director shall make plans available to the municipal operator of the system upon request. 2. Additional requirements for storm water discharges associated with industrial activity from facilities subject to EPCRA § 313 reporting requirements. Any potential pollutant sources for which the facility has reporting requirements under EPCRA 313 must be identified in the SWPPP in Part III B 3 (Summary of Potential Pollutant Sources). Note: this additional requirement is only applicable if the facility is subject to reporting requirements under EPCRA 313.
