Report submitted by: U11egosal Date:8/13/19 Carolina Marine Terminal a 0 Best Management Practices and Housekeeping All BMP's are inspected and maintained on a continual basis. Best management practices employ tarpaulin covers and jersey barriers to prevent product erosion (Road salt). Fresh water washes and push brooms are used for product containment and recovery. Tarps are replaced as needed. Covered salt storage Jersey barriers for salt containment Best management practices for chrome ore include the application of an acrylic vinyl acetate emulsion to prevent product migration. Jersey barriers have been added to help prevent erosion and product loss.

Owner's Other Permits: No other permits. 2. General Observations: • Primary concern with the analytical results in the application are a COD value of 8340 mg/L at Outfall 001. 3. Impairment: The Cape Fear River (18-(17)a) is on the 2006 303(d) for Standard violation: Low Dissolved Oxygen and Low pH. The Basinwide Plan indicates turbidity is a stressor as well as low dissolved oxygen and low pH. The Basinwide Plan states the Cape Fear River [18-(71)a] from Toomers Creek to Snows Cut (5,616.7 acres) is Impaired for aquatic life because the dissolved oxygen standard was violated in 42.9, 37.1, 16.4, 29.5, 23.2 and 10.4 percent of samples collected at sites BA642, BA644, BA708, BA709, BA713 and BA716. The dissolved oxygen standard for SC waters is 5 mg/I. The pH standard was also below the standard in 38.5, 37.1, 10.4, 20.5 and 19.6 percent of samples at the same sites. The low pH may be associated with swamp drainage from the Black and Northeast Cape Fear Rivers. The segment of the Cape Fear River upstream of this area has a supplemental classification of Sw that acknowledges that swamp streams may have lower dissolved oxygen and pH.,DWQ developed a TMDL to address the low dissolved oxygen in these segments. Segments 18-(71)a and 18-77 will remain on the 303(d) list of Impaired waters replacing the Cape Fear (DEH Area) B 10 listing. 4. Threatened and Endangered: The Natural heritage virtual workroom indicates there are a couple species that are federally endangered and a few that are state threatened or endangered in a two mile radius of the site. The Full list is included in the permit file. Two Aquatic Species: Shortnose Sturgeon, W. Indian Manatee 5. Location: The receiving water is classified as SC. 6. Industrial Chang es Since Previous Permit: New Permit 7. Analytical Monitoring: Results submitted with the application included one sample for each outfall. Outfall 001 has a significantly elevated COD value of 8340 mg/L. This source maybe surfacing groundwater that is contaminated with paraxylene. The 2008 Multi -Sector General permit in Sector Q Water Transportation recommends monitoring for Total Aluminum, Total Iron, Total Lead and Total Zinc based on the SIC code of 4491. However, other parameters will apply here based on types of materials stored. The receiving stream is classified as SC. Therefore, Nikki Remington from the Classifications and Standards Unit was contacted in order to see if the benchmarks need to be adjusted for a salt water environment. Here are the recommended saltwater benchmarks (from Nikki Remington, DWQ, 2/18/09): Iron: 4.5 mg/L (limited data) Chromium: I mg/L Xylene: 3.7 mg/L Zinc:.9.5. ug/L , 0 c(ca Aluminum: No saltwater data is available for aluminum Lead: 220 ug/L e OL2 VIAYL Oil and grease, COD, TSS and N and P wouldn't need to be modified for saltwater. Recommended monitoring includes Oil & Grease, COD, TSS, TN, TKN, Ammonia, TP, Fe, Cr, Xylene, Zn, AI, Pb and temperature. The analytical parameters TN, TKN, and ammonia were added to the permit because the site stores similar materials to PCS Phosphate (NCS000520). The staff report from March 19, 2008 for NCS000520 states the DWQ Planning Section found there is not an appropriate benchmark for ammonia for saline waters at the time Page of 8 NCS000530 (toxicity highly variable depending on pH and temperature; Final Acute Value (FAV) can change significantly based on these conditions). Planning staff recommend monitoring only for ammonia, along with pH and temperature, to assess toxicity potential after more data collected (C. Brower, 3/11/08). Because ammonia is a component of TKN, a TKN benchmark will not be included either. The draft permit keeps the 30 mg/l "IN benchmarks to serve as trigger for investigating potential problems of excessive nitrogen. See explanation of what TN measures: TN = TKN + (nitrate + nitrite); TKN = ammonia + organic nitrogen. Measuring TN and TKN will provide information about nitrate/nitrite levels. Also, measuring ammonia will indicate how much of TKN is organic. Cr was included in the analytical monitoring because of the chromite ore storage onsite. 8.

We had provided both freshwater and saltwater benchmarks to Bethany when she encountered this issue because the parameter she was looking at had extremely limited data for saltwater species and the freshwater benchmark was based off of a larger data set and would have been protective of saltwater species as well based on the calculated values. I'm not sure which one she ended up using in her permit. However, in your case we have relatively strong data for metals in both freshwater and saltwater. I recommend using the following saltwater benchmarks: Iron: 4.5 mg/L (limited data) Chromium: 1 mg/L Xylene: 3.7 mg/L Zinc: 95 ug/L Aluminum: No saltwater data is available for aluminum Lead: 220 ug/L From looking at your benchmark document, it looks like oil and grease, COD, TSS and N and P wouldn't need to be modified for saltwater. We wouldn't have any additional numeric benchmarks available for any of these parameters besides what you already are using. I hope this helps. Feel free to let me know•if you need anything further or have any questions. Nikki Brian Lowther wrote: Nikki, I am working on an individual stormwater permit for a Marine Terminal that the receiving water is Cape Fear River and is classified as SC. My draft parameters for monitoring include Oil & Grease, COD, TSS, N, P, Fe, Cr, Xylene, Zn, Al and Pb. How will the fact that the receiving water is SC affect the benchmarks for the permit? Should they be different than if they were freshwater? Let me know what you think. I know Bethany dealt with this some issue in the permit for PCS Phosphate Aurora NCS000520 but the parameters were a little different.

(b) Secondary Containment Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is required for: bulk storage of liquid materials; storage in any amount of Section 313 of Title 111,of the,Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority chemicals; and storage in any amount of hazardous substances, in order to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. A table or summary of all such tanks and stored materials and their associated secondary containment areas shall be maintained. If the secondary containment devices are connected directly to stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices (which shall be secured closed with a locking mechanism), and any stormwater that accumulates in the containment area shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the accumulated stonnwater. Accumulated stonnwater shall be released if found to be uncontaminated by the material stored within the containment area. Records documenting the individual making the observation, the description of the accumulated stormwater, and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a period of five years. (c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management Practices (BMP) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs shall be based on the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a Part 11 Page 4 of 10 Permit No. NCS000530 written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually. 3. Spill Prevention and Response Plan.

A responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or exposure of materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP must be site stormwater specific. Therefore, an oil Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure plan (SPCC) may be a component of the SPRP, but may not be sufficient to completely address the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common elements of the SPCC with the SPRP //may be incorporated by reference into the SPRP. Il �/\ \�� 4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance and good housekeeping program shall�be developed. The program shall list all stormwater control systems, stormwater discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrialactivity)a er as (including material storage areas, material handling areas, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads), all drainage` atu\es and structures, and existing structural BMPs. The program shall establish schedules of inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping activities of stormwater control systems, as well as facility equipment, facility areas, and facility systems that present a potential for stormwater exposure or stormwater pollution. Inspection of material�handling,areas and regular cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the,program. Timely compliance with the established schedules for inspections, maintenance; and housekeeping shall be recorded in writing and maintained in the SPPP. 5. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill response and cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the training shall be identified, and their annual training shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained. 6.

The required monitoring will result in a minimum of ten analytical samplings being conducted over the term of the permit at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). A representative storm event is a storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall and that is preceded by at least 72 hours in which no storm event measuring greater than 0.1 inches has occurred. A single storm event may contain up toN consecutive hours of no precipitation. For example, if it rains for 2 hours without producing any collectable discharge, and then stops, a sample may be collected if a rain producing a discharge begins again within the next 10 hours.

We have all worked diligently to develop a stormwater program that is protective of water quality and allows Carolina Marine Terminal to remain a vital economic force in Wilmington. The Carolina Marine terminal is a vital source for commerce in the Wilmington area; imports and exports vital to North Carolina's continued economic development pass through this facility. The terminal is a vital link for interstate and international commerce. We have all reviewed the stormwater permit and provide these comments, There is extensive analytical monitoring proposed. Item 1 in the June 2006 Draft Permit. Are these parameters based on any established TMDL's for the Lower Cape Fear River? Management at CMT is willing to monitor stormwater and would like for those monitoring data to remain consistent with TMDL issues, 2. We remain concerned about the "benchmark" monitoring. The operational parameters and materials shipped through a marine terminal are variable. Commercial contracts drive the business aspects of this terminal. We believe the benchmarking can be used to assist with development of management practices appropriate to the materials shipped through the facility and question the reliability of a benchmark where parameter concentrations in excess of benchmark Jui.15. 2009 12:10PM No.6707 P. 2 Mr. Brian Lowther July 15, 2009 Page 3 of 4 values trigger additional assessment. A similar argument was forwarded in section 6 that suggests when monitoring events find parameters are below the benchmark, additional monitoring is not required. These conditions fail to recognize the ever changing nature of the terminal operation. 3. Product loss from the terminal is profit loss from the terminal. The management and staff at CMT take extraordinary measures to manage and retain product for commercial purposes. Product is stored under cover when appropriate, spills are contained and when possible the captured product is returned to storage. 4. The letter states that the system discharges to impaired waters; there is no TMDL or source listed for the impairment. Please provide justification for the parameters listed 5. The permit (Section D) states that vehicle maintenance may trigger special circumstances. Vehicle maintenance is accomplished on the property, but it is accomplished in covered or protected areas whenever possible. Will that activity trigger the special circumstances listed in item 6. Plan amendments are required in item 7, SPPP. Will a plan amendment be required whenever a material is received at CMT? This is a tremendous burden on the local management staff at CMT. Could a plan amendment be required when specific tonnage or volume limits are approached? Carolina Marine utilizes covered storage whenever possible. Materials are received, conveyed to a storage site and covered in as short a time as possible. The management recognizes the importance of preserving product. In addition, the corporate culture at CMT necessitates clean- up as soon as a spill occurs. Product is not left on site for any time. All operators are educated in these corporate policies. Sweeping and cleaning are continual and product that is recovered is returned to storage when possible. The waste generated at the site is very limited. B. CMT proposes to develop a continuing study to establish pollutant levels in the stormwater discharge. The study will develop a plan for data accumulation and presentation including development of "box - and -whisker" plots. These data could be then utilized to establish the benchmarks described in the draft permit, and the benchmarks would be based on statistically sound data. `v MCKM&CREED Ju1.15. 2000 12:10FM No.6707 °. Mr. Brian Lowther July 15, 2009 Page 4 of 4 The discharge from the east pond does appear to accumulate Pollutants as it courses under River Road. COD levels in the discharge have been higher than levels in the pond. There seem to be sources of pollutants entering the stormwater system as a result of conveyance under the road. There are reported pipelines in the road and road right-of-way that may be influencing the COD levels in the discharge. These sources must be identified, responsible parties identified, and insults corrected to assure a sound stormwater system. 10. CMT proposes a site meeting to discuss the permit provisions. Staff at CMT and the various consultants associated with the project proposes a meeting on -site to assess conditions, assist with development of the study plan, and establish a time -frame for the study. This collaborative effort will result in a mutually acceptable and scientifically sound stormwater management plan. Marine terminals by nature deal with a variety of materials. The management at CMT supports sound practices to assure products are conserved and transferred to commercial outlets, not surface water outlets. Monitoring is essential to the development of a long term plan. The CMT operation has been on -going for many years; development of a study will only assure better management of the system. We do support the development of a stormwater permit program for this and all marine terminal sites. We believe that this facility is vital to the economy and can support environmental quality. The D.O. sag reported in the Lower Cape Fear River is probably attributable to many sources. CMT is committed to develop an effective program addressing inputs from this site. Please consider a meeting soon to address these issues and others that you may have. Sincerely; A. R.

Please review the draft very carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains. The draft permit contains the following significant elements: Analytical monitoring includes: 1. Analytical monitoring parameters, Oil & Grease, COD, TSS, TN, TKN, Ammonia, P, Pe, Cr, Xylene, Zn, Al, Pb, pH and temperature, have.been added to this permit based on the parameters being potential pollutants at the site. 2. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as defined in Part 11 Section B. The permittee must also document the total precipitation for each event. If no discharge. occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating "No Plow" within 30 days of the end of the six-month sampling period. Additionally, samples must be taken a minimum of 60 days apart, as specified in Table 2. 3. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring have been added to this draft permit. These benchmarks are not linlits.but signal potential problems, prompt actions to correct them, and continued vigilance to assess effectiveness or catch future problems. Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. If the sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at any outfall then the facility shall follow the Tier 1 guidelines which require a facility inspection within two weeks and implementation of a mitigation plan within two months. If during the term of this permit, the sampting results are above the benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall two times in a row (consecutive), then the facility shall follow the Tier 2 guidelines which require a repetition of the steps listed for Tier 1 and also immediately institute monthly monitoring parameters over the benchmarks at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples. 4. You are required.to collect all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during representative storm events as defined in Part 1I SectionB. Qualitative monitoring is required regardless of representative outfall status. Wetlands and Stormwater Branch one 1617 Mail Service Center, Ralegh, North Carolina 27699-1617 �,.

This requirement appears in all Individual Stormwater permits, however it only applies to facilities that do vehicle maintenance. If the facility begins vehicle maintenance during the permitted timeframe then the requirements shall apply. 6.. If the benchmarks are not exceeded or materials that may contribute to pollutant are no longer stored on site the permittee may request for a permit modification. However, sufficient data or information must be provided to reduce or discontinue any analytical monitoring. Please submit any comments to me no later than thirty (30) days following your receipt of the draft. Comments should be sent to the address listed at the bottom of this page.

Owner's Other Permits: No other permits. 2. General Observations: • Primary concern with the analytical results in the application are a COD value of 8340 mg/L at Outfall 001. Impairment: The Cape Fear River (18-(17)a) is on the 2006 303(d) for Standard violation: Low Dissolved Oxygen and Low pH. The Basinwide Plan indicates turbidity is a stressor as well as low dissolved oxygen and low pH. The Basinwide Plan states the Cape Fear River [18-(71)a] from Toomers Creek to Snows Cut (5,616.7 acres) is Impaired for aquatic life because the dissolved oxygen standard was violated in 42.9, 37.1, 16.4, 29.5, 23.2 and 10.4 percent of samples collected at sites BA642, BA644, BA708, BA709, BA713 and BA716. The dissolved oxygen standard for.SC waters is 5 mg/I. The pH standard was also below the standard in 38.5, 37.1, 10.4, 20.5 and 19.6 percent of samples at the same sites. The low pH may be associated with swamp drainage from the Black and Northeast Cape Fear Rivers. The segment of the Cape Fear River upstream of this area has a supplemental classification of Sw that acknowledges that swamp streams may have lower dissolved oxygen and pH. DWQ developed a TMDL to address the low dissolved oxygen in these segments. Segments 18-(71)a and 18-77 will remain on the 303(d) list of Impaired waters replacing the Cape Fear (DEH Area) B10 listing. 4. Threatened and Endangered: The Natural Heritage virtual workroom indicates there are a couple species that are federally endangered and a few that are state threatened or endangered in a two mile radius of the site. The full list is included in the permit file. Two Aquatic Species: Shortnose Sturgeon, W. Indian Manatee 5. Location: The receiving water is classified as SC. 6. Industrial Changes Since P revious Permit: New Permit 7. Analytical Monitoring Notes: Results submitted with the application included one sample for each outfall. Outfall 001 has a significantly elevated COD value of 8340 mg/L. This source maybe surfacing groundwater that is contaminated with paraxylene. The 2008 Multi -Sector. General permit in Sector Q Water Transportation recommends monitoring for Total Aluminum, Total Iron, Total Lead and Total Zinc based on the SIC code of 4491. However, other parameters will apply here based on types of materials stored. The receiving stream is classified as SC. Therefore, Nikki Remington from the Classifications and Standards Unit was contacted in order to see if the benchmarks need to be adjusted for a salt water environment. Here are the recommended saltwater benchmarks (from Nikki Remington, DWQ, 2/18/09): Iron: 4.5 mg/L (limited data) Chromium: 1 mg/L Xylene: 3.7 mg/L Zinc: 95 ug/L Aluminum: No saltwater data is available for aluminum Lead: 220 ug/L Oil and grease, COD, TSS and N and P wouldn't need to be modified for saltwater. Recommended monitoring includes Oil & Grease, COD, TSS, TN, TKN, Ammonia, TP, Fe, Cr, Xylene, Zn, Al, Pb and temperature. The analytical parameters TN, TKN, and ammonia were added to the permit because the site stores similar materials to PCS Phosphate (NCS000520). The staff report from March 19, 2008 for NCS000520 states the DWQ Planning Section found there is not an appropriate benchmark for ammonia for saline waters at the time Page 4 of 8 Y Y NCS000530 (toxicity highly variable depending on pH and temperature; Final Acute Value (FAV) can change significantly based on these conditions). Planning staff recommend monitoring only for ammonia, along with pH and temperature, to assess toxicity potential after more data collected (C. Brower, 3/11/08). Because ammonia is a component of TKN, a TKN benchmark will not be included either. The draft permit keeps the 30 mg/1 TN benchmarks to serve as trigger for investigating potential problems of excessive nitrogen. See explanation of what TN measures: TN = TKN + (nitrate + nitrite); TKN = armnonia + organic nitrogen. Measuring TN and TKN will provide information about nitrate/nitrite levels. Also, measuring anunonia will indicate how much of TKN is organic. Cr was included in the analytical monitoring because of the chrornite ore storage onsite. 8.

All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as defined in Part 11 Section B. The permittee must also document the total precipitationfor each event. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating "No Plow" within 30 days of the end of the six-month sampling period. Additionally, samples must be taken a minimum of 60 days apart, as specified in Table 2. 3. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring have been included to this draft permit. Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. If the sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at any outfall then the facility shall follow the Tier 1 guidelines which require a facility inspection within two weeks and implementation of a mitigation plan within two months. If during the term of this permit, the sampling results are above the benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall two times in a row (consecutive), then the facility shall follow the Tier 2 guidelines which require a repetition of the steps listed for Tier 1 and also immediately institute monthly monitoring for parameters at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples.

Let me know what you think. Brian Linda Willis wrote: Brian, I like the PCs permit idea, since this site is a LOT like PCS's. I think the chromium testing would be a good idea, will.that be hex or tri or both? I think our Stormwater permits have really improved the efforts taken by the permittees out there. The new tiers are really working out there. Permit according to your guidance and references. I'm sure whatever you come up with will be suitable. I was just trying to get myself better educated to the permitting processes. THANKS Linda Brian Lowther wrote: Hi Linda, The way we do our individual permits is to develop a staff report that looks at the site and its potential pollutants. Resources referenced are the NPDES Stormwater Permit Application Materials, EPA General Multi -Sector Permit, National Heritage Program (NHP) Threatened and Endangered Species Database, 303d list, TMDLs, and Basinwide Plans. We also look at previous permits with similar.industrial activities in order to develop to parameters for monitoring. As far as the tier system goes. We could change the tiers to only include the parameters that exceed the benchmarks. It is set up to include all the parameters to make it easier to understand. I could put ammonia nitrogen in the permit. Bethany found that when permitting PCs Phosphate that she didn't want to put a benchmark in because the the receiving stream was salt water and benchmark was very low or there wasn't enough data to produce a benchmark. She had Total Nitrogen, Total Ammonia as Nitrogen and TKN in the permit but only had a benchmark for total Nitrogen. I am not sure what would be best to do. I can talk to Nikki Remington and Connie Brower more about it if you want. I had to get them to come up with different benchmarks for some of the parameters because it is draining to the SC waters. We have put toxicity testing in stormwater permits very very rarely. That is what Bethany said. Apparently only 2 times and that is when we think it should be a waste water. I dealt with renewing one that had it initially but was taken out. We could consider putting toxicity testing in if they reach I of 3 2/23/2009 3:50 I'M Re: Carolina Marine Terminal s tier 3 or something. Let me know what you think. Brian Linda Willis wrote: Hi Brian, Can you educate me on how we target the sampling parameters? The permitting process is always interesting to me. Just to educate you on some of the "potential issues" at this site. . . first, I didn't realize the COD was that high. That's pretty significant. The site is in close proximity to two contamination plumes from from two other entities (one paraxylene pipeline break upgradient of their site and one diesel spill from a site previously owned by progress energy). The Inactive Hazardous Sites folks have regulatory oversight over the paraxylene plume situation. I think UST has oversight on the diesel spill (not sure). Right now, the consultants for Carolina Marine Terminal (CMT) are trying to figure out where the high COD is coming from. The consultants for Flint Hills (Paraxylene source) has contacted me to let me know that testing shows the paraxylene plume is not likely the source for the high COD. The consultant for CMT has been in contact with the consultants for Flint Hills (Catlin Engineering) and understands this and will likely pursue additional testing to identify the contaminants. I hate to see their monthly monitoring triggered right off the bat considering they are spending time and money trying to identify the sources of contaminants. Having to add a battery of testing for all parameters when they exceed COD (which they will) will be painful. Can we give them the ability to conduct monthly monitoring on only the parameters in exceedance of the benchmarks rather than all the parameters? I think ammonia nitrogen is a parameter we need to see rather than N. Since the Cape Fear River (receiving stream) is not nutrient sensitive, getting N isn't as useful as getting NH3-N (since NH3-N is toxic,to aquatic life). And, I'm out on a limb here, but do we ever put toxicity testing in stormwater permits? Linda Brian Lowther wrote: I Linda, I am working on writing the draft permit for Carolina Marine Terminal. My proposed parameters for sampling currently include Oil & Grease, COD, TSS, N, P, Fe, Cr, Xylene, Zn, Al and Pb. Do these seem appropriate to you? Also, the sample value for COD at outfall 001 was 8340 mg/L. Do you think I need to add additional monitoring or language in the permit to address this or let the permittee go through the tiered system once the permit is issued and they go over the benchmarks? Let me know what you think. Brian Lowther Bethany Georgoulias wrote: I Linda, The application for Carolina Marine is NCS000530, and it's been assigned to Brian Lowther in our Unit.

She is working with the permittee on some county permits. She requested our attendance at a meeting she had on site with personnel and wanted us to evaluate whether an NPDES permit would be required. While this site doesn't fit any of our NCGs, it is a terminal storing raw materials such as Urea, chrome ore, and salt (currently). The site is much like PCS Phosphate site in Morehead City. They utilize a conveyor belt (overhead) to transport raw materials from barge to storage areas on site. The County had great concern that they posed a threat to water quality. While I cannot say the stormwater runoff will exceed water quality standards, I can't say it won't given the storage practices. The implementation of a SWP3 should make a significant difference in what may be discharged from the site. They are experiencing high COD levels in samples taken / during storm events. The source may be surfacing groundwater that is contaminated ✓ with paraxylene. At any rate, as you can see, she is interested in the time schedule for our issuing the npdes permit. She may be holding some of her permits until ours is issued.

We had provided both freshwater and saltwater benchmarks to Bethany when she encountered this issue because the parameter she was looking at had extremely limited data for saltwater species and the freshwater benchmark was based off of a larger data set and would have been protective of saltwater species as well based on the calculated values. I'm not sure which one she ended up using in her permit. However, in your case we have relatively strong data for metals in both freshwater and saltwater. I recommend using the following saltwater benchmarks: Iron: 4.5 mg/L (limited data) Chromium: 1 mg/L Xylene: 3.7 mg/L Zinc: 95 ug/L Aluminum: No saltwater data is available for aluminum Lead: 220 ug/L From looking at your benchmark document, it looks like oil and grease, COD, TSS and N and P wouldn't need to be modified for saltwater. We wouldn't have any additional numeric benchmarks available for any of these parameters besides what you already are using. I hope this helps. Feel free to let me know if you need anything further or have any questions. Nikki Brian Lowther wrote: Nikki, I am working on an individual stormwater permit for a Marine Terminal that the receiving water is Cape Fear River and is classified as SC. My draft parameters for monitoring include Oil & Grease, COD, TSS, N, P, Fe, Cr, Xylene, Zn, Al and Pb. How will the fact that the receiving water is SC affect the benchmarks for the permit? Should they be different than if they were freshwater? Let me know what you think. I know Bethany dealt with this some issue in the permit for PCS Phosphate Aurora NCS000520 but the parameters were a little different.
