SECTION II - INSPECTION Opening Conference Tuesday, October 24, 2023 The inspection team conducted an opening conference with Facility representatives, identified in table above, beginning at approximately 10:00 AM. During the opening conference, Facility representatives were asked if they considered any information confidential business information (CBI). Mr. Imbrogno stated no information was considered CBI. The inspection team gathered the following Facility information: The Facility operates under both names Pilkington North America, Rossford and NSG Group. For this inspection report, the Facility will be referred to as Pilkington North America - Rossford. NSG group owns multiple glass manufacturing facilities. In addition to Rossford, Ohio, NSG operates float glass manufacturing facilities in Ottawa, Illinois; Laurinburg, North Carolina; and Luckey, Ohio. Producing a finish glass product involves three steps: production, fabrication, and advanced assembly. The Facility historically was involved in all three steps, but discontinued fabrication at the Facility in 2018. Currently float glass is manufactured on Site, shipped to a different facility for fabrication, and then brought back to the Rossford Facility for advanced assembly. The Facility produces sheet glass and glass components and has been involved in glass manufacturing, under various owners, since 1898. The Facility manufactures glass via the float glass process on two lines. The RS1 line (also known as 6F1) produces approximately 500 tons/day and the RS3 line (also known as 6F3) produces approximately 600 tons/day. The float glass process involves melting dry ingredients, floating the melted glass on a pool of molten tin, then shaping, washing, inspecting, cutting, and packaging. The float glass lines operate continuously, 7 days per week. Each line is shut down once every 15-20 years for a complete rebuild process. RS1 was last rebuilt in 2016 and RS3 was last rebuilt in 2013. The float glass lines operate on 12-hour shifts. The advanced assembly lines produce original equipment and aftermarket glass components for a variety of automobile manufactures. The process involves adding various components to the glass, including pins and seals. The advanced assembly lines operate 24 hours per day, Monday to Friday, on 8-hour shifts, with the occasional Saturday as needed. The Facility has a total of approximately 400 employees. Page 4 of 96 Pilkington North America, Inc - Rossford Facility October 24-26, 2023 The Site encompasses approximately 200 acres and includes 1.8 million square feet of interior space. Some buildings on Site are used for dry storage and no longer have electrical or water connections. The Site includes land both north and south of Interstate 75. The primary manufacturing space is south of the interstate, only the treatment ponds are north of the interstate. The Facility owns two wastewater treatment ponds north of Interstate 75: Pond 5C and Pond 5D. Only Pond 5D is currently in use and encompasses 8 acres with a capacity of 23 million gallons. Pond 5C was most recently used in 2014 when pond 5D was drained to be rehabilitated. The ponds are designed to collect both process wastewater and stormwater through a combined sewer system within the Facility. Sanitary wastewater produced at the Facility is discharged directly to the public sanitary sewer via lift stations. Process wastewater is generated at the Facility through a variety of processes. The only water that comes in direct contact with the glass during the manufacturing process is wash water. This water is used to wash the glass prior to its inspection and cutting/packaging. The wash water is designed to be at a pH of 3.6. Additional wastewater is generated through recirculating non-contact cooling water for the glass manufacturing machinery, once-through non-contact cooling water for compressors, cooling towers blow down, and air compressor condensate. Site History During the opening conference, the following information was gathered regarding the Site's history. The Site has been involved in flat glass manufacturing since 1898. Historically, flat glass was manufactured in a batch process where molten glass was poured onto a flat service and then polished flat. Early glass compositions contained arsenic. During the polishing process a slurry was used to get the desired finish on the glass. During the finishing process, the slurry became contaminated with arsenic. The slurry was disposed of in ponds. A series of ponds were created along the edge of the Maumee River for slurry disposal. Over the course of time, the slurry ponds reached capacity and were capped, thus creating new land that extended into the river. The land the current cullet yard sits on is backfill land built on old slurry ponds. There are documented water-based aresenic concerns at the Facility due to the historical slurry use. The first float glass line, which no longer required the use of a slurry, was constructed at the site in approximately 1968. The opening conference concluded at approximately 10:55 AM. Facility Walk Through Tuesday, October 24, 2023 The Facility walk through began at 11:10 AM in the interior manufacturing area. Detailed observations are discussed in Section III of this report. The inspection team, accompanied by Mr. Baumgartner and Mr. Benson, observed both RS1 and RS3, beginning at the "hot end" and walking along the manufacturing lines to the "cold end" where the glass is Page 5 of 96 Pilkington North America, Inc - Rossford Facility October 24-26, 2023 cleaned, inspected, cut, and packaged. At 12:40 PM the inspection team broke for lunch and exited the Facility, returning at 1:50 PM. During the afternoon, the inspection team, accompanied by Mr. Baumgartner and Mr. Benson, observed the APC systems on the basement level. Additionally, the wash water mix tank, reservoir tank, and recirculation tanks were observed. The inspection team concluded their walk through at 4:30 PM and left the Facility for the day. Wednesday, October 25, 2023 The inspection team arrived at the Facility at 8:30 AM and met Mr. Baumgartner and Mr. Benson at the main gate. They were joined by Mr. Robert Rill, Jr. of Jones & Henry Laboratories (Jones & Henry), which the Facility contracts to perform compliance sampling and sample analysis. The inspection team, the two Facility representatives, and Mr. Rill then drove to Pond 5D. After inspecting the pond, discussing sampling procedures, and observing Sampling Points 012 and 602, Mr. Rill departed the inspection at approximately 9:35 AM. The inspection team and Facility representatives continued to observe Pond 5C, and Outfalls 002, 003, 004, 005, and 006. Additionally, the inspection team observed the Marina Lift Station before returning to the main office to review the Facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) before lunch. The inspection team broke for lunch, exiting the Facility at 12:35 PM and returning at 1:45 PM. After lunch, the inspection team, accompanied by Mr. Baumgartner and Mr. Benson, conducted a stormwater walkthrough of the outdoor process areas at the Facility. This included the batch plant, cullet storage area, and fueling stations. Additionally, Lift Station B, and Lift Station C were observed as well as the two sanitary waste lift stations. The inspection team departed the Facility at 4:10 PM. Thursday, October 26, 2023 The inspection team arrived at the Facility at 8:30 AM and met Mr. Baumgartner in the visitor parking lot. The inspectors were escorted to a conference room in the main office and reviewed Facility documents until 9:00 AM. At that time Mr. Imbrogno arrived and the closing conference began. The closing conference concluded at 9:45 AM and the inspection team departed the Facility. SECTION III - OBSERVATIONS Observations may not be in sequential order. Unique Identifying No. TF-OB-001 Observation The Marina Lift Station has not been in operation since approximately July 2023. The Lift Station is operable, but the Facility has decided not to operate it due the high arsenic concentration in the water that this lift station pumps. The lift station services an old treatment pond and the Facility has a recent history of arsenic effluent violations. Area of Concern? Yes Page 6 of 96 Pilkington North America, Inc - Rossford Facility October 24-26, 2023 TF-OB-002 Both pumps in Lift Station C are not operable. It was unclear when the last Yes time this lift station was operable. There was no estimate on when the Lift Station pumps would be repaired and the Lift Station would begin operating again. TF-OB-003 There is a catch basin approximately 15 feet north of Lift Station C. Water from Yes this catch basin flows into Lift Station C. This catch basin is in the middle of a road that runs along the edge of the cullet yard. A large amount of cullet was observed on the ground around this catch basin. TF-OB-004 Lift Station C operates using a diversion structure. This structure is Yes underground adjacent to the lift station. Water flows by gravity from a variety of sources towards this diversion structure. Under normal operating conditions water is directed towards Lift Station C where it is pumped to Pond 5D. If the water overtops the approximate 18-inch height difference of the diversion structure, due to high flow, the water flows by gravity to Outfall 004. Because Lift Station C is not currently operable, all water that would flow through this lift station is instead bypassing Pond 5D and is being discharged, untreated, through Outfall 004 to the Maumee River. Mr. Baumgartner stated that the Facility cleaned out the diversion structure and the Lift Station C wet well the week before the inspection. He stated that the wet well floats used to turn on and off the pumps were buried in cullet. He also stated that this type of cleaning is not conducted on a routine basis. TF-OB-005 Lift Station B has two pumps. Only one pump was operable at the time of Yes inspection. Water exiting this lift station is sent to an adjacent manhole that Mr. Baumgartner referred to as the "epicenter manhole." This manhole is where water from the Marina Lift Station, Lift Station C, and Lift Station B converge and then flows by gravity approximately 1.5 miles into Pond 5D. Currently the only water flowing into Pond 5D comes from Lift Station B. TF-OB-006 Outfall 002 was discharging at the time of observation. No The pipe leading from the Outfall to the first manhole was lined with HDPE in the mid-1990s to prevent ground water intrusion. This section of pipe goes through old slurry treatment ponds. TF-OB-007 Outfall 003 was not discharging at the time of observation. Yes The pipe leading from Lift Station B to this Outfall (600-700 feet) was lined in approximately 2010 to minimize ground water infiltration. Debris and broken glass were observed in the vicinity of this Outfall. TF-OB-008 Outfall 004 was discharging at the time of observation. Yes A significant amount of debris and broken glass were observed in the vicinity of this Outfall. Page 7 of 96 Pilkington North America, Inc - Rossford Facility October 24-26, 2023 TF-OB-009 Outfall 005 was discharging at the time of observation. Water from the pipe's Yes edge was flowing down a rock face until it hit the ground. When the wastewater hit the ground, foam was observed. After hitting the ground, the water flowed on the ground until it was absorbed into the ground before it reached the edge of the Maumee River. A substantial amount of broken glass and other debris was observed on the hillside between the cullet yard and the Maumee River. TF-OB-010 Outfall 006 was not discharging at the time of observation. No Outfall 006 is a stormwater sample location. This is the last manhole owned by the Facility before the stormwater enters the public storm sewer. TF-OB-011 Pond 5D, the further east of the two ponds north of the interstate, was in use Yes at the time of the inspection. There was active influent flow through Sample Point 602 and active discharge through Sample Point 012. Mr. Baumgartner stated the pond has a surface area of approximately 8 acres, has a capacity of 23 million gallons, and is not lined. The pond was drained, rehabilitated, and put back into service in approximately 2013. The pond receives influent from Lift Station B, Lift Station C, and the Marina Lift Station when they are all operating. Influent arrives via a 36-inch pipe in the southwest corner of the pond, called Sample Location 602. Mr. Baumgartner stated that the only routine maintenance activity associated with the pond is vegetation control along the pond's edge and adjacent road. He did not know the depth of solids built up along the ponds bottom and did not have a method to measure the buildup. TF-OB-012 Pond 5C, the further west of the two ponds north of the interstate, was not in Yes use at the time of the inspection. Mr. Baumgartner stated that the pond was last used in 2013 when Pond 5C was under rehabilitation. The pond covers 12 acres and has a capacity of 20-25 million gallons. The pond was observed to have substantial vegetation growing it. Mr. Baumgartner stated that the pond would need substantial upgrades to the pipes, pumps, and additional components if it were to be put back into service. TF-OB-013 At Pond 5D, Mr. Rill explained how Jones & Henry staff conduct compliance Yes sampling on the Facility's behalf. -Jones & Henry staff conduct both analytical compliance sampling and visual quarter stormwater sampling in accordance with the Facility's NPDES permit -The sampling is conducted by a single staff member during each sampling event. Who performs the sampling can vary between sampling events. -A Pilkington staff member does not accompany Jones & Henry staff during sampling. -Jones and Henry aim to collect analytical compliance samples during a wet weather event once per quarter. This sampling is subject to wet weather Page 8 of 96 Pilkington North America, Inc - Rossford Facility October 24-26, 2023 occuring during business hours and staffing resources. Therefore, wet weather analytical samples are not collected every quarter. -Staff record data collected during sampling on a Field Sheet. -Analytical samples are collected directly into the sample bottle when practical. Otherwise, a container is filled and water is poured into the necessary sample bottles. -Samples bottles have pre-measured amounts of the appropriate chemical preservatives. -The pH meter is calibrated twice per day that it is used. Calibration information is recorded on a pH calibration log, separate from the Field Sheet. -The Facility did not have copies of the pH calibration log available for review. -It takes staff approximately 90 minutes to collect analytical samples from all the permitted Sample Points. -Flow is measured using a ruler. The flow depth is provided to Mr. Baumgartner who uses it to calculate the flow rate at each Sample Point. -Jones & Henry staff take samples back to the company-owned laboratory, where they are analyzed. -Jones & Henry staff provide the Facility with a lab report documenting the sample results. -Jones & Henry staff draft the DMR with the measured values for the Facility to review, sign, and submit. TF-OB-014 Glass Wash Water - Production Level Yes -Wash water is used to clean glass before it is inspected by optical sensors. -The wash water is mixed on the production level of the Facility, adjacent to the RS3 line. -One set of tanks produces wash water for both production lines. -Potable water is treated through both a reverse osmosis (RO) and deionized water (DI) treatment system before it is mixed with citric acid to a pH of 3.6. -The used wash water flows to the basement level where it is recirculated. -Wash water is recirculated until it reached a conductivity level of 300 S through a continuous sensor. When this level is reached, the wash water is automatically discharged to Sewer C. -The wash water is discharged without any pH treatment. -Mr. Baumgartner stated that he did not know the frequency at which the waste wash water is automatically wasted. -A biocide was observed being added to the wash water (Aquasource MB- 7200). TF-OB-015 Glass Wash Water - Basement Level Yes -After the wash water is used, it falls into a catch tray under the continuous glass sheet, where it flows through drains in the catch tray to the basement level below the RS3 line. -There are three tanks in the basement level to store/recirculate the wash water. -One tank was observed to be empty, and two tanks were observed in use. Page 9 of 96 Pilkington North America, Inc - Rossford Facility October 24-26, 2023 -All three tanks had pipes and valves that would allow the tanks to be drained to the floor drain adjacent to the wall in the basement. -The floor drain flows by gravity to a sump pump approximately 10 feet away. TF-OB-016 APC System No -Tanks were observed on the basement level below each production line. -The APC System mixes a liquid, of which a small bead is placed between individual panes of glass during packaging to separate them. TF-OB-017 Number 4 Air Compressor Yes -Large compressor located in the stone room. -Utilizes 40-60 gallons per minute of single passthrough non-contact cooling water. -Water is discharged to Sewer C. -Compressor has been continuous use for at least 40 years. -Compressor is scheduled to be decommissioned and replaced within a few days of the inspection. -The new compressor will not require the use of single pass through non- contact cooling water. TF-OB-018 Non-Contact Cooling Water Recycling System No -Each glass production lines has its own non-contact cooling water system. -There are two 40,000 gallon above ground tanks west of the B01 building. -Including the water in circulation, each system has a capacity of approximately 50,000 gallons. -Each tank has an emergency overflow pipe leading to the ground . -Each non-contact cooling system is powered by 2 electrical pumps, with 3 diesel-powered pumps on reserve in case of a power outage. -The RS3 system was observed pumping water at a rate of 6,500 gallons per minute (GPM) and the RS1 line was pumping at 5,000 GPM. -The systems are checked daily by Facility staff and the various operation parameters are recorded on a daily log. -Two biocides were observed in use in the pump room: One Aquasource MB- 7301 and CS-3102. TF-OB-019 Batch Plant - Pneumatic Unloading Area Yes -The batch plant is used to mix the raw materials that will be fed into the furnace. -Raw materials are pumped via a pneumatic system in a variety of silos that are all housed in a single building. - Materials are mixed to customers specifications and then conveyed via belt to the hot end of each production line. -Dark powder material was observed on the ground immediately south of the batch plant. This material was approximately 15 feet from a stormwater inlet. TF-OB-020 Batch Plant - Waste Area Yes Page 10 of 96 Pilkington North America, Inc - Rossford Facility October 24-26, 2023 -If a batch of raw material does not pass a quality control, it is discarded to the north of the batch plant, into one of two designated areas. -These designated areas are partially covered by a roof with potential for storm water exposure. -The batch plant waste area was observed to have significant amount of powder material on the ground. Additionally, a large pool of dark colored stagnant water was observed in this area. The water was approximately 2 feet from a stormwater inlet. TF-OB-021 Fueling Stations No -There are two fueling stations located at the Facility. -Both fueling stations are used exclusively by Facility staff to fuel vehicles that are owned by Pilkington and do not leave the Facility. -Neither fuel station is under a cover. -Both fuel stations have secondary containment for the fuel tanks. The secondary containment has a pit to collect stormwater. The pit does not have a drain. -There is an additional pit for each fuel station in the area where vehicles are refueled. -One of the pits for the fueling station near the pole barn had water in it with a sheen on the surface. TF-OB-022 Cullet Storage Area Yes -Reject glass is crushed and stored outside as cullet. -This material will be used as an ingredient to produce future glass. -The entire cullet storage area is uncovered. -All the cullet is generated at the Facility, no cullet is purchased from outside sources. Some cullet is purchased by vendors and shipped off site. -Mr. Baumgartner stated that this area is built on artificial land composed of old slurry treatment ponds and cullet -He also stated that stormwater does not flow out of this area and instead is absorbed into the ground. -Cullet varies based on composition and it stored in specific bins. -At the time of observation, one of the production lines was switching to a new glass composition. For the next approximate 5 days, all of the glass from that line will be crushed into cullet to ensure the glass is a uniform consistency for the customer. -The cullet yard is not swept and Mr. Baumgartner stated there are no specific best management practices that are implemented in this area to prevent stormwater pollution. TF-OB-023 Northwest of the cullet yard there were piles of asphalt grindings in storage. Yes Mr. Baumgartner stated that the grindings are used in the roadways as fill material. The piles were not covered. TF-OB-024 Stormwater BMPs Yes -A contractor sweeps the outdoor portions of the Facility, excluding the cullet yard, on a monthly basis. Page 11 of 96 Pilkington North America, Inc - Rossford Facility October 24-26, 2023 -There are no additional specific stormwater best management practices (BMPs) implemented at the Facility. TF-OB-025 Advanced Assembly Building No -This area has multiple lines each dedicated to a specific make/model of automobile. The lines have varying degrees of automation. -One line utilizes a small amount of distilled water in its process, the water evaporates and is not discharged. -One line utilizes an injection system to add material around the edge of glass components. This is a dry process and does not generate a waste stream. -No process wastewater is generated in the Advanced Assembly Building. SECTION IV - RECORDS REVIEW Records may not be in sequential order.

Unique Identifying No. Record Page 15 of 96 Pilkington North America, Inc - Rossford Facility October 24-26, 2023 TF-OB-001 The Marina Lift Station has not been in operation since approximately July 2023. The Lift Station is operable, but the Facility has decided not to operate it due the high arsenic concentration in the water that this lift station pumps. The lift station services an old treatment pond and the Facility has a recent history of arsenic effluent violations. TF-OB-002 Proper operation and maintenance: NPDES Permit 2IN00030*LD, Part III, Section 3.A Both pumps in Lift Station C are not operable. It was unclear when the last time this lift station was operable. There was no estimate on when the Lift Station pumps would be repaired and the Lift Station would begin operating again. TF-OB-003 Proper operation and maintenance: NPDES Permit 2IN00030*LD, Part III, Section 3.A There is a catch basin approximately 15 feet north of Lift Station C. Water from this catch basin flows into Lift Station C. This catch basin is in the middle of a road that runs along the edge of the cullet yard. A large amount of cullet was observed on the ground around this catch basin. TF-OB-004 Good housekeeping: NPDES Permit 2IN00030*LD, Part IV, Section C.2 Because Lift Station C is not currently operable, all water that would flow through this lift station is instead bypassing Pond 5D and is being discharged, untreated, through Outfall 004 to the Maumee River. Proper operation and maintenance: NPDES Permit 2IN00030*LD, Part III, Section 3.A Mr. Baumgartner stated that the Facility cleaned out the diversion structure and the Lift Station C wet well the week before the inspection. He stated that the wet well floats used to turn on and off the pumps were buried in cullet. He also stated that this type of cleaning is not conducted on a routine basis. TF-OB-005 Proper operation and maintenance: NPDES Permit 2IN00030*LD, Part III, Section 3.A Lift Station B has two pumps. Only one pump was operable at the time of inspection. TF-OB-007 Proper operation and maintenance: NPDES Permit 2IN00030*LD, Part III, Section 3.A Debris and broken glass were observed in the vicinity of Outfall 003. TF-OB-008 TF-OB-009 Good housekeeping: NPDES Permit 2IN00030*LD, Part IV, Section C.2 A significant amount of debris and broken glass were observed in the vicinity of Outfall 004. Good housekeeping: NPDES Permit 2IN00030*LD, Part IV, Section C.2 Outfall 005 was discharging at the time of observation. Water from the pipe's edge was flowing down a rock face until it hit the ground. When the wastewater hit the ground, foam was observed. After hitting the ground, the water flowed on the ground until it was absorbed into the ground before it reached the edge of the Maumee River. Foam: NPDES Permit 2IN00030*LD, Part III, Section 2.B A substantial amount of broken glass and other debris was observed on the hillside between the cullet yard and the Maumee River.

He did not know the depth of solids built up along the ponds bottom and did not have a method to measure the buildup. Proper operation and maintenance: NPDES Permit 2IN00030*LD, Part III, Section 3.A Pond 5C, the further west of the two ponds north of the interstate, was not in use at the time of the inspection. Mr. Baumgartner stated that the pond was last used in 2013 when Pond 5C was under rehabilitation. The pond covers 12 acres and has a capacity of 20-25 million gallons. The pond was observed to have substantial vegetation growing it. Proper operation and maintenance: NPDES Permit 2IN00030*LD, Part III, Section 3.A Mr. Baumgartner stated that the pond would need substantial upgrades to the pipes, pumps, and additional components if it were to be put back into service. Proper operation and maintenance: NPDES Permit 2IN00030*LD, Part III, Section 3.A At Pond 5D, Mr. Rill explained how Jones & Henry staff conduct compliance sampling on the Facility's behalf. -The staff aim to collected analytical compliance samples during a wet weather event once per quarter. This sampling is conducted subject to wet weather occuring during business hours and staffing resources. Therefore, wet weather analytical samples are not collected every quarter. Representative Sampling: NPDES Permit 2IN00030*LD, Part III, Section 5 -Analytical samples are collected directly into the sample bottle when practical. Otherwise, a container is filled and water is poured into the necessary sample bottles. Proper Sampling Technique: NPDES Permit 2IN00030*LD, Part III, Section 5 - The Facility did not have copies of the pH calibration log available for review. Document retention: NPDES Permit 2IN00030*LD, Part III, Section 7.C Glass Wash Water - Production Level -The wash water is discharged without any pH treatment Dilution: 40 C.F.R. 268.3 Glass Wash Water - Basement Level -All three tanks had pipes and valves that would allow the tanks to be drained to the floor drain adjacent to the wall in the basement Page 17 of 96 Pilkington North America, Inc - Rossford Facility TF-OB-017 Discharge with pH <5: 40 C.F.R. 403.5(b)(2) Number 4 Air Compressor October 24-26, 2023 -Utilizes 40-60 gallons per minute of single passthrough non-contact cooling water -Water is discharged to Sewer C -Compressor has been continuous use for at least 40 years Dilution: 40 C.F.R. 268.3 TF-OB-019 Batch Plant - Pneumatic Unloading Area -Dark powder material was observed on the ground immediately south of the batch plant. This material was approximately 15 feet from a stormwater inlet.

DEFINITIONS "Daily discharge" means the discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants with limitations expressed in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. For pollutants with limitations expressed in other units of measurement, the "daily discharge" is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the day. "Average weekly" discharge limitation means the highest allowable average of "daily discharges'' over a calendar week, calculated as the sum of all "daily discharges'' measured during a calendar week divided by the number of "daily discharges'' measured during that week. Each of the following 7-day periods is defined as a calendar week: Week 1 is Days 1 - 7 of the month; Week 2 is Days 8 - 14; Week 3 is Days 15 - 21; and Week 4 is Days 22 - 28. If the "daily discharge" on days 29, 30 or 31 exceeds the "average weekly" discharge limitation, Ohio EPA may elect to evaluate the last 7 days of the month as Week 4 instead of Days 22 - 28. Compliance with fecal coliform bacteria or E coli bacteria limitations shall be determined using the geometric mean. "Average monthly" discharge limitation means the highest allowable average of "daily discharges" over a calendar month, calculated as the sum of all "daily discharges" measured during a calendar month divided by the number of "daily discharges" measured during that month. Compliance with fecal coliform bacteria or E coli bacteria limitations shall be determined using the geometric mean. "85 percent removal" means the arithmetic mean of the values for effluent samples collected in a period of 30 consecutive days shall not exceed 15 percent of the arithmetic mean of the values for influent samples collected at approximately the same times during the same period. "Absolute Limitations" Compliance with limitations having descriptions of "shall not be less than," "nor greater than," "shall not exceed," "minimum," or "maximum" shall be determined from any single value for effluent samples and/or measurements collected. "Net concentration" shall mean the difference between the concentration of a given substance in a sample taken of the discharge and the concentration of the same substances in a sample taken at the intake which supplies water to the given process. For the purpose of this definition, samples that are taken to determine the net concentration shall always be 24-hour composite samples made up of at least six increments taken at regular intervals throughout the plant day. Part III General Conditions (Con't) Page 19 2IN00030*LD "Net Load" shall mean the difference between the load of a given substance as calculated from a sample taken of the discharge and the load of the same substance in a sample taken at the intake which supplies water to given process. For purposes of this definition, samples that are taken to determine the net loading shall always be 24-hour composite samples made up of at least six increments taken at regular intervals throughout the plant day. "MGD" means million gallons per day. "mg/l" means milligrams per liter. "ug/l" means micrograms per liter. "ng/l" means nanograms per liter. "S.U." means standard pH unit. "kg/day" means kilograms per day. "Reporting Code" is a five digit number used by the Ohio EPA in processing reported data. The reporting code does not imply the type of analysis used nor the sampling techniques employed. "Quarterly (1/Quarter) sampling frequency" means the sampling shall be done in the months of March, June, August, and December, unless specifically identified otherwise in the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements table. "Yearly (1/Year) sampling frequency" means the sampling shall be done in the month of September, unless specifically identified otherwise in the effluent limitations and monitoring requirements table. "Semi-annual (2/Year) sampling frequency" means the sampling shall be done during the months of June and December, unless specifically identified otherwise. "Winter" shall be considered to be the period from November 1 through April 30. "Bypass" means the intentional diversion of waste streams from any portion of the treatment facility. "Summer" shall be considered to be the period from May 1 through October 31. "Severe property damage" means substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities which would cause them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss caused by delays in production. "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 facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation. Part III General Conditions (Con't) Page 20 2IN00030*LD "Sewage sludge" means a solid, semi-solid, or liquid residue generated during the treatment of domestic sewage in a treatment works as defined in section 6111.01 of the Revised Code. "Sewage sludge" includes, but is not limited to, scum or solids removed in primary, secondary, or advanced wastewater treatment processes. "Sewage sludge" does not include ash generated during the firing of sewage sludge in a sewage sludge incinerator, grit and screenings generated during preliminary treatment of domestic sewage in a treatment works, animal manure, residue generated during treatment of animal manure, or domestic septage. "Sewage sludge weight" means the weight of sewage sludge, in dry U.S. tons, including admixtures such as liming materials or bulking agents. Monitoring frequencies for sewage sludge parameters are based on the reported sludge weight generated in a calendar year (use the most recent calendar year data when the NPDES permit is up for renewal). "Sewage sludge fee weight" means the weight of sewage sludge, in dry U.S. tons, excluding admixtures such as liming materials or bulking agents. Annual sewage sludge fees, as per section 3745.11(Y) of the Ohio Revised Code, are based on the reported sludge fee weight for the most recent calendar year. 2. GENERAL EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS The effluent shall, at all times, be free of substances: A. In amounts that will settle to form putrescent, or otherwise objectionable, sludge deposits; or that will adversely affect aquatic life or water fowl; B. Of an oily, greasy, or surface-active nature, and of other floating debris, in amounts that will form noticeable accumulations of scum, foam or sheen; C. In amounts that will alter the natural color or odor of the receiving water to such degree as to create a nuisance; D. In amounts that either singly or in combination with other substances are toxic to human, animal, or aquatic life; E. In amounts that are conducive to the growth of aquatic weeds or algae to the extent that such growths become inimical to more desirable forms of aquatic life, or create conditions that are unsightly, or constitute a nuisance in any other fashion; F. In amounts that will impair designated instream or downstream water uses. 3.

UNAUTHORIZED DISCHARGES A. Bypass Not Exceeding Limitations - 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 paragraphs 11.B and 11.C. B. 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. 2. Unanticipated Bypass - The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as required in paragraph 12.B (24 hour notice). C. Prohibition of Bypass 1. Bypass is prohibited, and the Director may take enforcement action against a permittee for bypass, unless: a. Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury, or severe property damage; b. 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 c. The permittee submitted notices as required under paragraph 11.B. 2. 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 11.C.1. 12.

Storm Water Control Measures and Pollution Prevention Programs In Part IV and in Part VI, the term "minimize" means reduce and/or eliminate to the extent achievable using control measures (including best management practices) that are technologically available and economically practicable and achievable in light of best industry practice. A. Control Measures. You shall select, design, install, and implement control measures (including best management practices) to address the selection and design considerations in Part IV.B, and meet the control measures/best management practices in Part IV.C and any applicable numeric effluent limits in Part I. The selection, design, installation, and implementation of these control measures shall be in accordance with good engineering practices and manufacturer's specifications. Note that you may deviate from such manufacturer's specifications where you provide justification for such deviation and include documentation of your rationale in the part of your SWPPP that describes your control measures, consistent with Part IV.J.3. If you find that your control measures are not achieving their intended effect of minimizing pollutant discharges, you shall modify these control measures as expeditiously as practicable. Regulated storm water discharges from your facility include storm water run-on that commingles with storm water discharges associated with industrial activity at your facility. B. Control Measure Selection and Design Considerations. You shall consider the following when selecting and designing control measures: 1. Preventing storm water from coming into contact with polluting materials is generally more effective, and less costly, than trying to remove pollutants from storm water; 2. Using control measures in combination is more effective than using control measures in isolation for minimizing pollutants in your storm water discharge; 3. Assessing the type and quantity of pollutants, including their potential to impact receiving water quality, is critical to designing effective control measures that will achieve the limits in this permit; 4. Minimizing impervious areas at your facility and infiltrating runoff onsite (including bioretention cells, green roofs, and pervious pavement, among other approaches) can reduce runoff and improve groundwater recharge and stream base flows in local streams, although care shall be taken to avoid ground water contamination; 5. Attenuating flow using open vegetated swales and natural depressions can reduce in-stream impacts of erosive flows; 6. Conserving and/or restoring of riparian buffers will help protect streams from storm water runoff and improve water quality; and Page 32 2IN00030*LD 7. Using treatment interceptors (e.g., swirl separators and sand filters) may be appropriate in some instances to minimize the discharge of pollutants. C. Control Measures/Best Management Practices (BMPs) 1. Minimize Exposure. You shall minimize the exposure of manufacturing, processing, and material storage areas (including loading and unloading, storage, disposal, cleaning, maintenance, and fueling operations) to rain, snow, snowmelt, and runoff by either locating these industrial materials and activities inside or protecting them with storm resistant coverings (although significant enlargement of impervious surface area is not recommended). In minimizing exposure, you should pay particular attention to the following: a. Use grading, berming, or curbing to prevent runoff of contaminated flows and divert run-on away from these areas; b. Locate materials, equipment, and activities so that leaks are contained in existing containment and diversion systems (confine the storage of leaky or leak-prone vehicles and equipment awaiting maintenance to protected areas); c. Clean up spills and leaks promptly using dry methods (e.g., absorbents) to prevent the discharge of pollutants; d. Use drip pans and absorbents under or around leaky vehicles and equipment or store indoors where feasible; e. Use spill/overflow protection equipment; f. Drain fluids from equipment and vehicles prior to on-site storage or disposal; g. Perform all cleaning operations indoors, under cover, or in bermed areas that prevent runoff and run-on and also that capture any overspray; and h. Ensure that all washwater drains to a proper collection system (i.e., not the storm water drainage system). The discharge of vehicle and equipment washwater, including tank cleaning operations, is not authorized by this permit. 2. Good Housekeeping. You shall keep clean all exposed areas that are potential sources of pollutants, using such measures as sweeping at regular intervals, keeping materials orderly and labeled, and storing materials in appropriate containers. 3. Maintenance. You shall regularly inspect, test, maintain, and repair all industrial equipment and systems to avoid situations that may result in leaks, spills, and other releases of pollutants in storm water discharged to receiving waters. You shall maintain all control measures that are used to achieve the control measures/best management practices (BMPs) required by this permit in Page 33 2IN00030*LD effective operating condition. Nonstructural control measures shall also be diligently maintained (e.g., spill response supplies available, personnel appropriately trained). If you find that your control measures need to be replaced or repaired, you shall make the necessary repairs or modifications as expeditiously as practicable. 4. Spill Prevention and Response Procedures. You shall minimize the potential for leaks, spills and other releases that may be exposed to storm water and develop plans for effective response to such spills if or when they occur. At a minimum, you shall implement: a. Procedures for plainly labeling containers (e.g., "Used Oil," "Spent Solvents," "Fertilizers and Pesticides," etc.) that could be susceptible to spillage or leakage to encourage proper handling and facilitate rapid response if spills or leaks occur; b. Preventative measures such as barriers between material storage and traffic areas, secondary containment provisions, and procedures for material storage and handling; c. Procedures for expeditiously stopping, containing, and cleaning up leaks, spills, and other releases. Employees who may cause, detect, or respond to a spill or leak shall be trained in these procedures and have necessary spill response equipment available. If possible, one of these individuals should be a member of your storm water pollution prevention team (Part IV.J.1); and d. Where a leak, spill or other 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, 40 CFR Part 117, or 40 CFR Part 302, occurs during a 24-hour period, you shall notify the Ohio EPA in accordance with the requirements of Part III Item 12 of this permit. 5. Erosion and Sediment Controls. You shall stabilize exposed areas and contain runoff using structural and/or non-structural control measures to minimize onsite erosion and sedimentation, and the resulting discharge of pollutants. Among other actions you shall take to meet this limit, you shall place flow velocity dissipation devices at discharge locations and within outfall channels where necessary to reduce erosion and/or settle out pollutants. In selecting, designing, installing, and implementing appropriate control measures, you are encouraged to consult with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Soil and Water Conservation's Rainwater and Land Development manual (http://epa.ohio.gov/dsw/storm/technical_guidance.aspx), U.S. EPA's internet-based resources relating to BMPs for erosion and sedimentation, including the sector-specific Industrial Storm Water Fact Sheet Series, (www.epa.gov/npdes/stormwater/msgp), National Menu of Storm Water BMPs (www.epa.gov/npdes/stormwater/menuofbmps), and National Management Measures to Control Nonpoint Source Pollution from Urban Areas (www.epa.gov/owow/nps/urbanmm/index.html). 6. Management of Runoff. You shall divert, infiltrate, reuse, contain, or otherwise reduce storm water runoff, to minimize pollutants in your discharges. In selecting, designing, installing, and implementing appropriate control measures, you are encouraged to consult with the Ohio Page 34 2IN00030*LD Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Soil and Water Conservation's Rainwater and Land Development manual (https://epa.ohio.gov/wps/portal/gov/epa/divisions-and- offices/surface-water/guides-manuals/rainwater-and-land-development), U.S. EPA's internet- based resources relating to runoff management, including the sector-specific Industrial Storm Water Fact Sheet Series, (www.epa.gov/npdes/stormwater/msgp), National Menu of Storm Water BMPs (www.epa.gov/npdes/stormwater/menuofbmps), and National Management Measures to Control Nonpoint Source Pollution from Urban Areas (www.epa.gov/owow/nps/urbanmm/index.html). 7. Salt Storage Piles or Piles Containing Salt. You shall enclose or cover storage piles of salt, or piles containing salt, used for deicing or other commercial or industrial purposes, including maintenance of paved surfaces. You shall implement appropriate measures (e.g., good housekeeping, diversions, containment) to minimize exposure resulting from adding to or removing materials from the pile. 8. Sector Specific Control Measures/Best Management Practices (BMPs). You shall achieve any additional control measures/best management practices (BMPs) stipulated in the relevant sectorspecific section(s) of Part IV.K. of this permit. 9. Employee Training. You shall train all employees who work in areas where industrial materials or activities are exposed to storm water, or who are responsible for implementing activities necessary to meet the conditions of this permit (e.g., inspectors, maintenance personnel), including all members of your Pollution Prevention Team. Training shall cover both the specific control measures used to achieve the conditions in this Part, and monitoring, inspection, planning, reporting, and documentation requirements in other parts of this permit. Ohio EPA requires that training be conducted at least annually (or more often if employee turnover is high). 10. Non-Storm Water Discharges. You shall eliminate non-storm water discharges not authorized in Part I and Part II of this NPDES permit. The following are additional non-storm water discharges authorized under this permit: a. Discharges from fire-fighting activities (not planned exercises); b. Fire hydrant flushings; c. Potable water, including water line flushings; d. Uncontaminated condensate from air conditioners, coolers/chillers, and other compressors and from the outside storage of refrigerated gases or liquids; e. Irrigation drainage; f. Landscape watering provided all pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizer have been applied in accordance with the approved labeling; Page 35 2IN00030*LD g. Pavement wash waters where no detergents or hazardous cleaning products are used (e.g., bleach, hydrofluoric acid, muriatic acid, sodium hydroxide, nonylphenols, etc.), and the wash waters do not come into contact with oil and grease deposits, sources of pollutants associated with industrial activities (see Part IV.J.2), or any other toxic or hazardous materials, unless residues are first cleaned up using dry clean-up methods (e.g., applying absorbent materials and sweeping, using hydrophobic mops/rags) and you have implemented appropriate control measures to minimize discharges of mobilized solids and other pollutants (e.g., filtration, detention, settlement); h. Routine external building washdown/power wash water that does not use detergents or hazardous cleaning products (e.g., those containing bleach, hydrofluoric acid, muriatic acid, sodium hydroxide, nonylphenols, etc.); i. Uncontaminated ground water or spring water; j. Foundation or footing drains where flows are not contaminated with process materials; and k. Incidental windblown mist from cooling towers that collect on rooftops or adjacent portions of your facility, but not intentional discharges from the cooling tower (e.g., "piped" cooling tower blowdowns or drains). 11. Waste, Garbage and Floatable Debris. You shall ensure that waste, garbage, and floatable debris are not discharged to receiving waters by keeping exposed areas free of such materials or by intercepting them before they are discharged. 12. Dust Generation and Vehicle Tracking of Industrial Materials. You shall minimize generation of dust and off-site tracking of raw, final, or waste materials. D. Corrective Actions 1. Conditions Requiring Review and Revision to Eliminate Problem. If any of the following conditions occur, you shall review and revise the selection, design, installation, and implementation of your control measures to ensure that the condition is eliminated and will not be repeated in the future: a. An unauthorized release or discharge (e.g., spill, leak, or discharge of non-storm water not authorized by this or another NPDES permit) occurs at your facility; b. A discharge violates a numeric effluent limit; c. You become aware, or Ohio EPA determines, that your control measures are not stringent enough for the discharge to meet applicable water quality standards; d. An inspection or evaluation of your facility by an Ohio EPA official or local MS4 operator determines that modifications to the control measures are necessary to meet the control measures/best management practices (BMPs) in this permit; or Page 36 2IN00030*LD e. You find in your routine facility inspection or quarterly visual assessment that your control measures are not being properly operated and maintained. 2. Conditions Requiring Review to Determine if Modifications Are Necessary. If any of the following conditions occur, you shall review the selection, design, installation, and implementation of your control measures to determine if modifications are necessary to meet the Part IV.A conditions in this permit: a. Construction or a change in design, operation, or maintenance at your facility significantly changes the nature of pollutants discharged in storm water from your facility, or significantly increases the quantity of pollutants discharged; or b. Sampling results exceeds an applicable benchmark. 3. Corrective Action Deadlines. You shall document your discovery of any of the conditions listed in Part IV.D.1 and Part IV.D.2 within 24 hours of making such discovery. Subsequently, within 30 days of such discovery, you shall document any corrective action(s) to be taken to eliminate or further investigate the deficiency, or if no corrective action is needed, the basis for that determination. Specific documentation required within 24 hours and 30 days is detailed in Part IV.D.4. If you determine that changes are necessary following your review, any modifications to your control measures shall be made before the next storm event if possible, or as soon as practicable following that storm event. These time intervals are not grace periods, but are schedules considered reasonable for documenting your findings and for making repairs and improvements. They are included in this permit to ensure that the conditions prompting the need for these repairs and improvements are not allowed to persist indefinitely. 4. Corrective Action Report. Within 24 hours of discovery of any condition listed in Part IV.D.1 and Part IV.D.2, you shall document the following information (i.e., question 4 of the Corrective Actions section in the Annual Reporting Form, available at https://epa.ohio.gov/static/Portals/35/permits/OHR000006/OHR000006_Final%20Annual%20Re port%20Form.docx): Identification of the condition triggering the need for corrective action review; Description of the problem identified; and Date the problem was identified. Within 30 days of discovery of any condition listed in Part IV.D.1 and Part IV.D.2, you shall document the following information (i.e., questions 7-11 of the Corrective Actions section in the Annual Reporting Form): Page 37 2IN00030*LD Summary of corrective action taken or to be taken (or, for triggering events identified in Part IV.D.2 where you determine that corrective action is not necessary, the basis for this determination); Notice of whether SWPPP modifications are required as a result of this discovery or corrective action; Date corrective action initiated; and Date corrective action completed or expected to be completed. You shall include this documentation in an annual report as required in Part V. A.2 and retain onsite with your SWPPP. 5. Effect of Corrective Action. If the event triggering the review is a permit violation (e.g., noncompliance with an effluent limit), correcting it does not remove the original violation. Additionally, failing to take corrective action in accordance with this section is an additional permit violation. Ohio EPA will consider the appropriateness and promptness of corrective action in determining enforcement responses to permit violations. 6. Substantially Identical Outfalls. If the event triggering corrective action is linked to an outfall that represents other substantially identical outfalls, your review shall assess the need for corrective action for each outfall represented by the outfall that triggered the review. Any necessary changes to control measures that affect these other outfalls shall also be made before the next storm event if possible, or as soon as practicable following that storm event. E. Inspections Beginning on the effective date of this permit, you shall conduct the inspections in Part IV.E.1 and Part IV.E.2 at your facility. 1. Routine Facility Inspections. a. Conduct routine facility inspections of all areas of the facility where industrial materials or activities are exposed to storm water, and of all storm water control measures used to comply with Part IV. Items A-C conditions contained in this permit. Routine facility inspections shall be conducted at least quarterly (i.e., once each calendar quarter) although in many instances, more frequent inspection (e.g., monthly) may be appropriate for some types of equipment, processes, and control measures or areas of the facility with significant activities and materials exposed to storm water. Perform these inspections during periods when the facility is in operation. You shall specify the relevant inspection schedules in your SWPPP document as required in Part IV. Items A-C. These routine inspections shall be performed by qualified personnel (for definition see VI - Definitions) with at least one member of your storm water pollution prevention team participating. At least once each calendar year, the Page 38 2IN00030*LD routine facility inspection shall be conducted during a period when a storm water discharge is occurring. You shall document the findings of each routine facility inspection performed and maintain this documentation onsite with your SWPPP. You are not required to submit your routine facility inspection findings to Ohio EPA, unless specifically requested to do so. At a minimum, your documentation of each routine facility inspection shall include: i. The inspection date and time; ii. The name(s) and signature(s) of the inspector(s); iii. Weather information and a description of any discharges occurring at the time of the inspection; iv. Any previously unidentified discharges of pollutants from the site; v. Any control measures needing maintenance or repairs; vi. Any failed control measures that need replacement; vii. Any incidents of noncompliance observed; and viii. Any additional control measures needed to comply with the permit requirements. Any corrective action required as a result of a routine facility inspection shall be performed consistent with Part IV.D of this permit. b. Exceptions to Routine Facility Inspections: Inactive and Unstaffed Sites: The requirement to conduct routine facility inspections on a quarterly basis does not apply at a facility that is inactive and unstaffed, as long as there are no industrial materials or activities exposed to storm water. Such a facility is only required to conduct an annual site inspection in accordance with the requirements of Part IV.E.1. To invoke this exception, you shall maintain a statement in your SWPPP pursuant to Part IV.F indicating that the site is inactive and unstaffed, and that there are no industrial materials or activities exposed to precipitation, in accordance with the substantive requirements in 40 CFR 122.26(g)(4)(iii). The statement shall be signed and certified in accordance with Appendix B, Subsection 11. If circumstances change and industrial materials or activities become exposed to storm water or your facility becomes active and/or staffed, this exception no longer applies and you shall immediately resume quarterly facility inspections. If you are not qualified for this exception at the time you are authorized under this permit, but during the permit term you become qualified because your facility is inactive and unstaffed, and there are no industrial materials or activities that are exposed to storm water, then you shall include the same signed and certified statement as above and retain it with your records pursuant to Part IV.J.5. Page 39 2IN00030*LD Inactive and unstaffed facilities covered under Sectors D (Asphalt Paving and Roofing Materials and Lubricant Manufacturing), E (Glass, Clay, Cement, Concrete, and Gypsum Products) and J (Non-Metallic Mineral Mining and Dressing), are not required to meet the "no industrial materials or activities exposed to storm water" standard to be eligible for this exception from routine inspections, consistent with the requirements established in relevant sector requirements. Ohio EPA's Encouraging Environmental Excellence (E3) Program: If your facility has been recognized under the Gold and Platinum levels by Ohio EPA's Encouraging Environmental Excellence (E3) Program, you only need to conduct routine facility inspections for two quarters each year. If Part IV.K of this permit requires your facility to conduct routine facility inspections on a monthly basis, you only need to conduct routine facility inspections on a quarterly basis. 2. Quarterly Visual Assessment of Storm Water Discharges. a. Quarterly Visual Assessment Procedures Once each calendar quarter for the entire permit term you shall collect a storm water sample from Outfalls 2IN00030002, 2IN00030003, 2IN00030004, 2IN00030005, and 2IN00030006 and conduct a visual assessment of each of these samples. These samples are not required to be collected consistent with 40 CFR Part 136 procedures but should be collected in such a manner that the samples are representative of the storm water discharge. The visual assessment shall be made: Of a sample in a clean, clear glass, or plastic container, and examined in a well-lit area; On samples collected within the first 30 minutes of an actual discharge from a storm event. If it is not possible to collect the sample within the first 30 minutes of discharge, the sample shall be collected as soon as practicable after the first 30 minutes and you shall document why it was not possible to take samples within the first 30 minutes. In the case of snowmelt, samples shall be taken during a period with a measurable discharge from your site; and For storm events, on discharges that occur at least 72 hours (3 days) from the previous discharge. The 72-hour (3-day) storm interval does not apply if you document that less than a 72-hour (3-day) interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period. If it is not possible to collect the sample on discharges that occur at least 72 hours (3 days) from the previous discharge, the sample shall be collected as close to this storm interval as practicable and you shall document why it was not possible to take samples from a 72 hour (3 day) storm interval. Areas Subject to Snow: In areas subject to snow, at least one quarterly visual assessment shall capture snowmelt discharge. Page 40 2IN00030*LD For the following water quality characteristics: color, odor, clarity, floating solids, settled solids, suspended solids, foam, oil sheen, and other obvious indicators of storm water pollution. b. Quarterly Visual Assessment Documentation You shall document the results of your visual assessments and maintain this documentation onsite with your SWPPP. You are not required to submit your visual assessment findings to Ohio EPA, unless specifically requested to do so. At a minimum, your documentation of the visual assessment shall include: Sample location(s); Sample collection date and time, and visual assessment date and time for each sample; Personnel collecting the sample and performing visual assessment, and their signatures; Nature of the discharge (i.e., runoff or snowmelt); Results of observations of the storm water discharge; Probable sources of any observed storm water contamination; and If applicable, why it was not possible to take samples within the first 30 minutes and/or from a 72 hour (3 day) storm interval. Any corrective action required as a result of a quarterly visual assessment shall be performed consistent with Part IV.D of this permit. c. Exceptions to Quarterly Visual Assessments The following are exceptions to quarterly visual assessments: Adverse Weather Conditions: When adverse weather conditions prevent the collection of samples during the quarter, you shall take a substitute sample during the next qualifying storm event. Documentation of the rationale for no visual assessment for the quarter shall be included with your SWPPP records. Adverse conditions are those that are dangerous or create inaccessibility for personnel, such as local flooding, high winds, or electrical storms, or situations that otherwise make sampling impractical, such as drought or extended frozen conditions. Substantially identical outfalls: If your facility has two or more outfalls that you believe discharge substantially identical effluents, as documented in Part IV.J.2.a.iii, you may conduct quarterly visual assessments of the discharge at just one of the outfalls and report that the results also apply to the substantially identical outfall(s) provided that you perform visual assessments on a rotating basis of each substantially identical outfall Page 41 2IN00030*LD throughout the period of your coverage under this permit. If storm water contamination is identified through visual assessment performed at a substantially identical outfall, you shall assess and modify your control measures as appropriate for each outfall represented by the monitored outfall. Inactive and unstaffed sites: The requirement for a quarterly visual assessment does not apply at a facility that is inactive and unstaffed, as long as there are no industrial materials or activities exposed to storm water. To invoke this exception, you shall maintain a statement in your SWPPP indicating that the site is inactive and unstaffed, and that there are no industrial materials or activities exposed to precipitation, in accordance with the substantive requirements in 40 CFR 122.26(g)(4)(iii). The statement shall be signed and certified in accordance with Part III.28 of this permit. If circumstances change and industrial materials or activities become exposed to storm water or your facility becomes active and/or staffed, this exception no longer applies and you shall immediately resume quarterly visual assessments. If you are not qualified for this exception at the time you are authorized under this permit, but during the permit term you become qualified because your facility is inactive and unstaffed, and there are no industrial materials or activities that are exposed to storm water, then you shall include the same signed and certified statement as above and retain it with your records. Ohio EPA's Encouraging Environmental Excellence (E3) Program: If your facility has been recognized under the Gold and Platinum levels by Ohio EPA's Encouraging Environmental Excellence (E3) Program, you only need to conduct quarterly visual assessment of storm water discharges for two quarters each year. F. Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) A storm water pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) shall be developed to address each outfall that discharges to waters of the state that contains storm water associated with industrial activity. Storm water pollution prevention plans shall be prepared in accordance with good engineering practices. The SWPPP shall identify potential sources of pollution which may reasonably be expected to affect the quality of storm water discharges associated with industrial activity from the facility. The SWPPP shall describe and ensure the implementation of practices which are to be used to reduce the pollutants in storm water discharges associated with industrial activity at the facility and to assure compliance with the terms and conditions of this permit. Facilities must implement the provisions of the storm water pollution prevention plan required under this part as a condition of this permit. The SWPPP does not contain effluent limitations; the limitations or benchmarks are contained in Part I. The SWPPP is intended to document the selection, design, and installation of control measures. As distinct from the SWPPP, the documentation requirements are intended to document the implementation (including inspection, maintenance, monitoring, and corrective action) of the permit requirements. G. Deadlines to Update the SWPPP. Page 42 2IN00030*LD The permittee shall continue to implement and be in compliance with the SWPPP required by the previous permit. Within six months of the effective date of this permit, the permittee shall update the SWPPP as necessary to address any new or reviewed requirements of this permit H. Signature and Plan Review. 1. The plan shall be signed and dated in accordance with Part III, Item 28, and be retained on-site at the facility which generates the storm water discharge. 2. The permittee shall make plans immediately available upon request to the Ohio EPA Director, or authorized representative, or Regional Administrator of U.S. EPA, a local agency approving storm water management plans, or in the case of a storm water discharge associated with industrial activity which discharges through a municipal separate storm sewer system, to the operator of the municipal system. 3. The Director may notify the permittee at any time that the plan does not meet one or more of the minimum requirements of this Part. Within 30 days of such notification from the Director, the permittee shall make the required changes to the plan and shall submit to the Director a written certification that the requested changes have been made. 4. All storm water pollution prevention plans required under this permit are considered reports that shall be available to the public under Section 308(b) of the Act. Confidential Business Information (CBI) may be withheld from the public, but may not be withheld from those staff cleared for CBI review within Ohio EPA. An interested party wishing a copy of a discharger's SWPPP will have to contact the Ohio EPA to obtain a copy. I. Keeping SWPPP Current The permittee shall modify the plan whenever necessary to address any of the triggering conditions for corrective action in Part IV.D and to ensure that they do not reoccur, or to reflect changes implemented when a review following the triggering conditions in Part IV.D.2 indicates that changes to your control measures are necessary to meet the control measures/best management practices (BMPs) in this permit. Changes to your SWPPP document shall be made in accordance with the corrective action deadlines in Part IV.D.3 and Part IV.D.4. Amendments to the plan may be reviewed by Ohio EPA in the same manner as Part IV.H above. J. Contents of SWPPP. The plan shall include, at a minimum, the following items: Page 43 2IN00030*LD 1. Pollution Prevention Team. You shall identify the staff members (by name or title) that comprise the facility's storm water pollution prevention team as well as their individual responsibilities. Your storm water pollution prevention team is responsible for assisting the facility manager in developing and revising the facility's SWPPP as well as maintaining control measures and taking corrective actions where required. Each member of the storm water pollution prevention team shall have ready access to either an electronic or paper copy of applicable portions of this permit and your SWPPP. 2.

Monitoring and Reporting Requirements A. Reporting and Recordkeeping 1. Reporting Benchmark Monitoring Data to Ohio EPA. Benchmark monitoring data shall be submitted to Ohio EPA in accordance with Part III Item 4. of this permit. 2. Annual Report. You shall complete an annual report using the Annual Reporting Form provided by Ohio EPA at the following location: https://epa.ohio.gov/static/Portals/35/permits/OHR000006/OHR000006_Final%20Annual%20Re port%20Form.docx You are not required to submit your annual report to Ohio EPA unless specifically requested. The timeframe to complete the report is at the discretion of the permittee but the same schedule to complete shall be maintained throughout this permit term. You shall keep the completed annual reports with your SWPPP. B. Storm Water Monitoring Requirements 1. Monitored Outfalls. Reserved 2. Measurable Storm Event. All required monitoring shall be performed on a storm event that results in an actual discharge from your site ("measurable storm event") that follows the preceding measurable storm event by at least 72 hours (3 days). The 72-hour (3-day ) storm interval does not apply if you are able to document that less than a 72-hour (3-day) interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period. In the case of snowmelt, the monitoring shall be performed at a time when a measurable discharge occurs at your site. For each monitoring event, except snowmelt monitoring, you shall identify the date and duration (in hours) of the rainfall event, rainfall total (in inches) for that rainfall event, and time (in days) since the previous measurable storm event. For snowmelt monitoring, you shall identify the date of the sampling event. 3. Sample Type. You shall take a minimum of one grab sample from a discharge resulting from a measurable storm event as described in Part V.B.2. Samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of a measurable storm event. If it is not possible to collect the sample within the first 30 minutes of a measurable storm event, the sample shall be collected as soon as practicable after the first 30 minutes and documentation shall be kept with the SWPPP explaining why it was not possible to take samples within the first 30 minutes. In the case of snowmelt, samples shall be taken during a period with a measurable discharge. 4. Benchmark Monitoring. Reserved Page 50 2IN00030*LD Part VI. Definitions and Acronyms Action Area - all areas to be affected directly or indirectly by the storm water discharges, allowable nonstorm water discharges, and storm water discharge-related activities, and not merely the immediate area involved in these discharges and activities. Best Management Practices (BMPs) - schedules of activities, practices (and prohibitions of practices), structures, vegetation, maintenance procedures, and other management practices to prevent or reduce the discharge of pollutants to surface waters of the State.
