A copy of the Compliance Inspection Report is enclosed for your review. Mr. Terry Crawford, EHS Coordinator, Mr. Scott Schuelke, Regional Safety Leader, Mr. Isaac Harms, Refinery Superintendent and Ms. Toni Crawford, EHS Administrative Assistant were also present during the inspection and their time and assistance is greatly appreciated. The site visit and file review revealed that the subject facility is covered by NPDES Stormwater General Permit NCG060000 under Certificate of Coverage NCG060047. Permit coverage authorizes the discharge of stormwater from the facility to receiving waters designated as Cape Fear River and Locks Creek, Class C waters in the Cape Fear River Basin. As a result of the inspection, the facility was found to be in compliance with the conditions of the NCG060000 permit. Please refer to the enclosed Compliance Inspection Report for additional comments and observations made during the inspection. Please be advised that violations of the NPDES Stormwater General Permit are subject to a civil penalty assessment of up to $25,000 per day for each violation. If you or your staff have any questions, comments, or needs assistance with understanding any aspect of your permit, please contact me at (910) 433-3384 or by e-mail at melissa.joyner@ncdenr.gov.

The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) was reviewed and was orderly, containing the information specified in General Permit NCG060000. The percentage of each drainage area which was impervious was not shown on the site map. The updated site map was emailed to the Inspector shortly after the inspection. The Analytical and Qualitative Monitoring records were reviewed. Previously, there had been exceedances of benchmark values (for Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Total Suspended Solids (TSS)), with the facility initiating monthly monitoring for Outfalls #3 and #5. In January, 2019, semi-annual monitoring was reinitiated for Outfall #3 and in September, 2019, semi-annual monitoring was reinitiated for Outfall #5. Outfalls #2 and #6 are currently under Tier One for exceedances of benchmark values for COD and TSS. The facility grounds and Outfalls #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6 and #7 were inspected and appeared to be well -maintained. Outfall #4 used to discharge to a containment area. The discharge is no longer occurring, therefore Outfall #4 no longer needs to be monitored. This information should be documented in the SPPP. A Representative Outfall Status Request Form may be submitted to the Fayetteville Regional Office to possibly reduce the number of outfalls where Analytical Monitoring occurs, where there are very similar stormwater discharges. If Representative Outfall Status is granted, Qualitative Monitoring would still need to Continue for those outfalls.

DEQ may grant Representative Outfall Status if stormwater discharges from a single outfall are representative of discharges from multiple outfalls. Approved ROS will reduce the number of outfalls where analytical sampling requirements apply. If Representative Outfall Status is granted, ALL outfalls are still subject to the qualitative monitoring requirements of the facility's permit —unless otherwise allowed by the permit (such as NCG020000) and DEQ approval. The approval letter from DEQ must be kept on site with the facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. The facility must notify DEO in writing if any changes affect representative status. For questions, please contact the DEQ Regional Office for your area (see page 3).
