This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215 .1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended). This final permit includes one major change from the draft permit sent to you on April 8, 2016. The silver parameter has been removed from your permit. It is our understanding that silver is not a part of your facility's process, and there are no exposed coal piles which can leach silver. Further, silver levels were below detection limits in almost all of the 30+ samples taken between 2002-2013. The monitoring strategy remains the same (semi-annual) as the previous term of the permit. Please note that analytical and qualitative monitoring is required in this permit. Failure to complete the monitoring as required is a violation of the permit and any permit noncompliance constitutes a violation of the Clean Water Act. Reference Part III, Section A, Item 2 "Duty to Comply", Item 9 "Penalties for Tampering" and Item 10 "Penalties for Falsification of Reports" of your permit for further information. If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this modification are unacceptable to you, then you have the right to file a petition for a contested case with the Office of Administrative Hearings within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This petition must conform to the requirements of Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes. Petitions must be timely filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, Post Office Drawer H 666, Raleigh, North Carolina 27604. If you do not file a petition within the required time, the agency decision shall be final and binding. Please take notice this permit is not transferable. Part III, B.2. addresses the requirements to be followed in case of change in ownership or control of this discharge.

Such discharges shall be controlled, limited and monitored as specified in this permit. If industrial materials and activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described in 40 CFR §122.26(g), the facility may qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES stormwater discharge permit requirements. Any owner or operator wishing to obtain a No Exposure Exclusion must submit a No Exposure Certification Notice of Intent (N01) form to the Division; must receive approval by the Division; must maintain no exposure conditions unless authorized to discharge under a valid NPDES stormwater permit; and must recertify the No Exposure Exclusion annually. SECTION B: PERMITTED ACTIVITIES Until this permit expires or is modified or revoked, the permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater to the surface waters of North Carolina or separate storm sewer system that has been adequately treated and managed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this permit. All stormwater discharges shall be in accordance with the conditions of this permit. Any other point source discharge to surface waters of the state is prohibited unless it is an allowable non-stormwater discharge or is covered by another permit, authorization, or approval. The stormwater discharges allowed by this permit shall not cause or contribute to violations of Water Quality Standards. This permit does not relieve the permittee from responsibility for compliance with any other applicable federal, state, or local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or decree.

R#Jrr' 4 II M f - Q 5 LAI Z Permit No. NCS000379 PART Il MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR PERMITTED DISCHARGES SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN The permittee shall develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). The SPPP shall be maintained on site unless exempted from this requirement by the Division. The SPPP is public information in accordance with Part III, Standard Conditions, Section E, paragraph 3 of this permit. The SPPP shall include, at a minimum, the following items: 1. Site Overview. The Site Overview shall provide a description of the physical facility and the potential pollutant sources that may be expected to contribute to contamination of stormwater discharges. The Site Overview shall contain the following: (a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle map or appropriately drafted equivalent map), showing the facility's location in relation to transportation routes and surface waters; the name of the receiving waters to which the stormwater outfalls discharge, or if the discharge is to a municipal separate storm sewer system, the name of the municipality and the ultimate receiving waters; and accurate latitude and longitude of the points of stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity. The general location map (or alternatively the site map) shall identify whether any receiving waters are impaired (on the state's 303(d) list of impaired waters) or if the site is located in a watershed for which a TMDL has been established, and what the parameters of concern are. (b) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities, outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and waste disposal practices. A narrative description of the potential pollutants that could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall. (c) A site map drawn at a scale sufficient to clearly depict: the site property boundary; the stormwater discharge outfalls; all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands; industrial activity areas (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads); site topography and finished grade; all drainage features and structures; drainage area boundaries and total contributing area for each outfall; direction of flow in each drainage area; industrial activities occurring in each drainage area; buildings; stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs); and impervious surfaces. The site map must indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious, and the site map must include a graphic scale indication and north arrow. (d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants during the previous three (3) years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts. Part II Page 1 of 1S Permit No. NCS000379 (e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. The permittee shall re -certify annually that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. The certification statement will be signed in accordance with the requirements found in Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3. 2. Stormwater Management Strategy. The Stormwater Management Strategy shall contain a narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or minimize the stormwater exposure of significant materials, including structural and nonstructural measures. The Stormwater Management Strategy, at a minimum, shall incorporate the following: (a) Feasibility Study. A review of the technical and economic feasibility of changing the methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure of materials and processes to rainfall and run-on flows. Wherever practical, the permittee shall prevent exposure of all storage areas, material handling operations, and manufacturing or fueling operations. In areas where elimination of exposure is not practical, this review shall document the feasibility of diverting the stormwater run-on away from areas of potential contamination. (b) Secondary Containment Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is required for: bulk storage of liquid ,Materials: storage in any aMQUn of Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water ray chemicals; and storage in any amount gf 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 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). Any stormwater that accumulates in the containment area shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the accumulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be uncontaminated by any material. 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 (5) years. For facilities subject to a federal oil Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC), any portion of the SPCC Plan fully compliant with the requirements of this permit may be used to demonstrate compliance with this permit. The Division may allow exceptions to secondary containment requirements for mobile refuelers, as with the exemption provided by amendments to federal SPCC regulations, as long as appropriate spill containment and/or diversionary structures or equipment is used to prevent discharge to surface waters. Exceptions do not apply to refuelers or other mobile tankage used primarily as bulk liquid material storage in a fixed location in place of stationary containers. (c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management Practices (BMPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs Part 11 Page 2 of 1S Permit No. NCS000379 , shall be based on the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and on data collected through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a 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 Procedures. The Spill Prevention and Response Procedures (SPRP) shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials inventory of the facility. Facility personnel responsible for implementing the SPRP shall be identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and dated by each individual acknowledging their responsibilities for the plan. A responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility operations that have increased 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. 4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance and good housekeeping program shall be developed and implemented. The program shall address all stormwater control systems (if applicable), stormwater discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial activity areas (including material storage areas, material handling areas, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads), all drainage features 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 where not already addressed under another element of the SPPP. 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 and maintained in the SPPP. S. Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur as part of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a minimum on a semi-annual schedule, once during the first half of the year (January to June), and once during the second half (July to December), with at least 60 days separating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently than semi-annually). These facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring at the outfalls required in Part 1I B, C, and D of this permit. 6. 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. The facility Part 11 Page 3 of 1S Permit No. NCS000379 personnel responsible for implementing the training shall be identified, and their annual training shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained. 7. Responsible Party. The SPPP shall identify a specific position or positions responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision of the SPPP. Responsibilities for all components of the SPPP shall be documented and position assignments provided. 8. SPPP Amendment and Annual Update. The permittee shall amend the SPPP _whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, site drainage, maintenance, or configuration of the physical features which may have a significant effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of the SPPP shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. The annual update shall include: (a) an updated list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous three (3) years, or the notation that no spills have occurred (element of the Site Overview); (b) a written re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated far the presence of non-stormwater discharges (element of the Site Overview); (c) a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the on -site stormwater BMPs (BMP Summary element of the Stormwater Management Strategy). (d) a review and comparison of sample analytical data to benchmark values (if applicable) over the past year, including a discussion about Tiered Response status. The permittee shall use the Division's Annual Summary Data Monitoring Report (DMR) form, available from the Stormwater Permitting Program's website (See'Monitoring Forms' here: http//I deg.nc.gov/about/divisions/energy-mineral-land-resources/energy- mineral-land- ermits/-stormwater- ep rmits/npdes-industrial-sw). The Director may notify the permittee when the SPPP does not meet one or more of the minimum requirements of the permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee shall submit a time schedule to the Director for modifying the SPPP to meet minimum requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3) to the Director that the changes have been made. 9. SPPP Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and all appropriate BMPs consistent with the provisions of this permit, in order to control contaminants entering surface waters via stormwater. Implementation of the SPPP shall include documentation of all monitoring, measurements, inspections, maintenance activities, and training provided to employees, including the log of the sampling data and of actions taken to implement BMPs associated with the industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance activities. Such documentation shall be kept on -site for a period of five (5) years and made available to the Director or the Director's authorized representative immediately upon request. Part II Page 4 of 1S Permit No. NCS000379 SECTION.B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table Z. All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event ate c stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must be sampled (See Definitions). A measurable storm event is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the permitted site outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours prior. The 72-hour storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a shorter interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and the permittee obtains approval from the local DEMLR Regional Engineer.

If the facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or Three response actions under the previous permit, the facility shall continue a monthly monitoring and reporting schedule in Tier Two or Tier Three status until relieved by the provisions of this permit or the Division. 2 Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. When physical separation between outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, sampling shall begin within the first 30 minutes, and shall continue until completed. Part II Page 5 of 15 Permit No. NCS000379 3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the Division's letter granting ROS shall be kept on site. `l For each sampled measureable storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge is required. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain gauge reading may be substituted for an on -site reading. The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified below in Table 2, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection (see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Sampling is not required outside of the facility's normal operating hours. A minimum of 60 days must separate Period i and Period 2 sample dates, unless monthly monitoring has been instituted under a "Tier Two" response. Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and recorded on the DMR. The permittee must report the results from each sample taken within the monitoring period (see Part I11, Section E). However, for purposes of benchmark comparison and Tiered response actions, the permittee shall use the analytical results from the first sample with valid„ results within the monitoring period.

The permittee must submit an application for renewal of coverage before the submittal deadline (180 days before expiration) to be considered for renewed coverage under the permit The permittee must continue analytical monitoring throughout the permit renewal process, even if a renewal permit is not issued until after expiration of this permit. 2 If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating "No Flow" or "No Discharge" within 30 days of the end of the sampling period. Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period. "No discharge" from an outfall during a monitoring period does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is properly recorded and reported. The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3. Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase Part II Page 6 of 15 Permit No. NCS000379 , management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. See below the descriptions of Tier One, Tier Two, and Tier Three response actions below. In the event that the Division releases the permittee from continued monthly monitoring and reporting under Tier Two or Tier Three, the Division's release letter may remain in effect through subsequent reissuance of this permit, unless the release letter provides for other conditions or duration.

An exceedance of a stormwater benchmark value is not a permit violation; however, failure to respond to the exceedance as outlined in this permit is a violation of permit conditions. Part 11 Page 7 of 15 Permit No. NCS000379 krdTier,OneC.S. If: The first valid sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any arameter at any outfall; Then: The permittee shall: 1. Conduct a stormwater management inspection of the facility within two weeks of receiving sampling results. 2. Identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedance. 3. Identify potential, and select the specific feasible: source controls, operational controls, or physical improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern, and/or to bring concentrations within the benchmark range. 4. Implement the selected feasible actions within two months of the inspection. 5. Record each instance of a Tier One response in the SPPP. Include the date and value of the benchmark exceedence, the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the selected actions, and the date the selected actions were implemented. 6. Note: Benchmark exceedances for a different parameter separately trigger a tiered response. If: The first valid sampling results from two consecutive monitoring periods (omitting periods with no discharge) are above the benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall; Then: The permittee shall: 1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier One. 2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring and reporting for all parameters. The permittee shall conduct monthly monitoring at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples. Monthly (analytical and qualitative) monitoring shall continue until three consecutive sample results are below the benchmark values or within benchmark range. 3. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee is required to submit a monthly monitoring report indicating "No Flow" to comply with reporting requirements, 4. Alternatively, in lieu of steps 2 and 3, the permittee may, after two consecutive exceedances, exercise the option of contacting the DEMLR Regional Engineer as provided below in Tier Three. The Regional Engineer may direct the response actions on the part of the permittee as provided in Tier Three, including reduced or additional sampling parameters or frequency. S. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the SPPP. 6. Continue Tier Two response obligations throughout the permit renewal process. , f e' _. Tier.Thre If: The valid sampling results required for the permit monitoring periods exceed the benchmark value, or are outside the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at any specific outfall on four occasions, the permittee shall notify the DEMLR Regional Engineer in writing within 30 days of receipt of the fourth analytical results; Then: The Division may but is not limited to: • require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring and reporting frequency for some or all of the parameters herein; • require sampling of additional or substitute parameters; • require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls; • require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures; • require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize impacts on receiving waters; or • require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion; • require the permittee to continue Tier Three obligations through the permit renewal process. Part II Page 8 of 15 Permit No. NCS000379 This site discharges to impaired waters experiencing problems with a fish advisory for mercury. A Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) was approved for this segment of the Chowan River and Brooks Creek. You should continue to monitor for this pollutant of concern in the future and submit results to the Division. The Division will consider the monitoring results in determining whether additional BMPs are needed to control the pollutant of concern to the maximum extent practicable. If additional BMPs are needed to achieve the required level of control, the permittee will be required to (1) develop a strategy for implementing appropriate BMPs, and (2) submit a timetable for incorporation of those BMPs into the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and identify new potential sources of stormwater pollution. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls must be performed during a measurable storm event. Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of representative outfall status. Qualitative monitoring shall be performed semi-annually as specified in Table 4, and during required analytical monitoring events (unless the permittee is required to perform further qualitative monitoring per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below). Inability to monitor because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and recorded on the Qualitative Monitoring Report form (see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must be monitored (See Definitions).

See Table 2 for schedule of monitoring periods through the end of this permitting cycle. The permittee must continue qualitative monitoring throughout the permit renewal process until a new permit is issued. 2 Monitoring Location: Qualitative monitoring shall be performed at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) regardless of representative outfall status. A minimum of 60 days must separate monitoring dates, unless additional sampling has been instituted as part of other analytical monitoring requirements in this permit. If the permittee's qualitative monitoring indicates that existing stormwater BMPs are ineffective, or that significant stormwater contamination is present, the permittee shall investigate potential causes, evaluate the feasibility of corrective actions, and implement those corrective actions within 60 days, per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below. A written record of the permittee's investigation, evaluation, and response actions shall be kept in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluating SPPP effectiveness, identifying new potential sources of stormwater pollution, and prompting the permittee's response to pollution. If the permittee repeatedly fails to respond effectively to correct problems identified by qualitative monitoring, or if the discharge causes or contributes to a water quality standard violation, the Division may but is not limited to: • require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring frequency for some or all parameters (analytical or qualitative) • require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls; • require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures; • require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize impacts on receiving waters; or • require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion.

When physical separation between outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, sampling shall be begun within the first 30 minutes, and shall continue until completed. 3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) that discharges stormwater runoff from area(s) where vehicle maintenance activities occur, unless representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the letter granting ROS shall be kept on site. 4 For each sampled measureable storm event the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge is required. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain guage may be substituted for an on -site reading. Failure to monitor'semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period, as provided in Part 11 Section B. Monitoring results shall be compared to the benchmark values in Table 6. The benchmark values in Table 6 are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for the permittee's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs), as provided in Part 11 Section B.

Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and submitted electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted facilities to enter monitoring data and submit DMRs electronically using the internet. Until such time that the state's eDMR application is compliant with EPA's Cross -Media Electronic Reporting Regulation (CROMERR), permittees will be required to submit all discharge monitoring data to the state electronically using eDMR and will be required to complete the eDMR submission by printing, signing, and submitting one signed original and a copy of the computer printed eDMR to the following address: NC DEQ / Division of Water Resources / Water Quality Permitting Section ATTENTION: Central Files 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Part II' Page 12 of 15 Permit No. NCS000379 . If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due to the facility being physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the households have broadband access, then a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements may be granted and discharge monitoring data may. be submitted on paper DMR forms or alternative forms approved by the Director. Duplicate signed copies shall be submitted to the mailing address above. See "How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting" section below. Regardless of the submission method, the first DMR is due no later than 30 days from the date the facility receives the sampling results from the laboratory. The permittee may seek a temporary electronic reporting waiver from the Division. To obtain an electronic reporting waiver, a permittee must first subinit an electronic reporting waiver request to the Division. Requests for temporary electronic reporting waivers must be submitted in writing to the Division for written approval at least sixty (60) days prior to the date the facility would be required under this permit to begin submitting monitoring data and reports. The duration of temporary waiver shall not exceed 5 years and shall thereupon expire. At such time, monitoring data and reports shall be submitted electronically to the Division unless the permittee re -applies for and is granted a new temporary electronic reporting waiver by the Division. Approved electronic reporting waivers are not transferrable. Only permittees with an approved reporting waiver request may submit monitoring data and reports on paper to the Division for the period that the approved reporting waiver request is effective.

Wareas where elimination of exposure is not practical, this review shall document•the feasibility of diverting the stormwater run-on away from areas of potential co tamination. (b) Secondary Containment Requirements aiid Records. Secondary containment is required for: bulk storage. of liquid materials; storage in any amount of Section 313 of Title III of the Supertiind�Artiendirients and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water_ priority chemicals: and storage,in air y a _ ount 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.Af the secondary containment devices are connected 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). Any stormwater that accumulates in the containment area shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the accumulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be uncontaminated by any material. 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 (5) years. For facilities subject to a federal oil Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC), any portion of the SPCC Plan fully compliant with the requirements of this permit may be used to demonstrate compliance with this permit. The Division may allow exceptions to secondary containment requirements for mobile refuelers, as with the exemption provided by amendments to federal SPCC regulations, as long as appropriate spill containment and/or diversionary structures or equipment is used to prevent discharge to surface waters. Exceptions do not apply to refuelers or other mobile tankage used primarily as bulk liquid material storage in a fixed location in place of stationary containers. (c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management Practices (BMPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs Part II Page 2 of 15 Permit No. NCS000379 shall be based on the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and on data collected through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a 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 Procedures. The Spill Prevention and Response Procedures (SPRP) shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials inventory of the facility. Facility personnel responsible for implementing the SPRP shall be identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and dated by each individual acknowledging their responsibilities for the plan. A responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility operations that have increased potential to contaminate stormwater runoff�through spills or exposure of materials associated with the facility operations.AThe SPRP must be site stormwater specific. Therefore, an oil Spill Prevention Control an ountermeasure 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,,---\ 4. Preventative Maintenance and GoodlHousekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance and good housekeeping program,shall be developed and implemented. The program shall add ress,all,stormwater control systems (if applicable), stormwater discharge outfalls, all on-site,and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial activity areas (including material storage areas, material handling areas, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads), all drainage features 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 where not already addressed under another element of the SPPP. 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 and maintained in the SPPP. 5. Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur as part of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a minimum on a semi-annual schedule, once during the first half of the year (January to June), and once during the second half (July to December), with at least 60 days separating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently than semi-annually). These facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring at the outfalls required in Part II B, C, and D of this permit. 6. 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.

Part I I Page 4 of 15 Permit No. NCS000379 SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1• All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at e ch stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must be sampled (See Definitions). A measurable storm event is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the permitted site outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours prior. The 72-hour storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a shorter interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and the permittee obtains approval from the local DEMLR Regional Engineer.

If the facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or Three response actions under the previous permit, the facility shall continue a monthly monitoring and reporting schedule in Tier Two or Tier Three status until relieved by the provisions of this permit or the Division. Part 11 Page 5 of 15 Permit No. NCS000379 Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. When physical separation between outfalis prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, sampling shall begin within the first 30 minutes, and shall continue until completed. 3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the Division's letter granting ROS shall be kept on site. 4 For each sampled measureable storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge is required. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain gauge reading may be substituted for an on -site reading. The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified below in Table 2, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection (see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Sampling is not required'outside of the facility's normal operating hours. A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2 sample dates, unless monthly monitoring has been'institute&under a "Tier Two" response. Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and recorded on the DMR. The permittee must report the results from each sample taken within the monitoring period (see,Part 111, Section E). However, for purposes of benchmark comparison and Tiered response actions,,the permittee shall use the analytical results from the first sample with yilid��esults within the monitoring period.

The permittee must submit an application for renewal of coverage before the submittal deadline (180 days before expiration) to be considered for renewed coverage under the permit. The permittee must continue analytical monitoring throughout the permit renewal process, even if a renewal permit is not issued until after expiration of this permit. 2 If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating "No Flow" or "No Discharge" within 30 days of the end of the sampling period. Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period. "No discharge" from an outfall during a monitoring period does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is properly recorded and reported. Part II Page 6 of 15 Permit No. NCS000379 The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3. 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. See below the descriptions of Tier One, Tier Two, and Tier Three response actions below. In the event that the Division releases the permittee from continued monthly monitoring and reporting under Tier Two or Tier Three, the Division's release letter may remain in effect through subsequent reissuance of this permit, unless the release letter provides for other conditions or duration.

An exceedance of a stormwater benchmark value is not a permit violation; however, failure to respond to the exceedance as outlined in this permit is a violation of permit conditions. Part II Page 7 of 15 Permit No. NCS000379 Tier One If: The first valid sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at any outfall; Then: The permittee shall: 1. Conduct a stormwater management inspection of the facility within two weeks of receiving sampling results. 2. Identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedance. 3. Identify potential, and select the specific feasible: source controls, operational controls, or physical improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern, and/or to bring concentrations within the benchmark range. 4. Implement the selected feasible actions within two months of the inspection. 5. Record each instance of a Tier One response in the SPPP. Include the date and value of the benchmark exceedence, the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the selected actions, and the date the selected actions were implemented. 6. Note: Benchmark exceedances for a different parameter se rately trigger a tiered response. Tier Two If: The first valid sampling results from two consecutive monitoring periods (omitting periods with no discharge) are above the benchmark values, or outside,of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall; ��_ n Then: The permittee shall: } 1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier. One. V/ %.A i7 2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring and reporting for all parameters. The permittee shall conduct monthly monitoring at every outfall where�a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two N.� consecutive samples. Monthly (anall. yracal a. qualitative) monitoring shall continue until three consecutive sample results are,belbw,the,benchmark values or within benchmark range. 3. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee is required to submit a monthly monitoring report indicating "No Flaw" to comply with reporting requirements. 4. Alternatively, in lieu of steps.2-and;3, the permittee may, after two consecutive exceedances, exercise the option of contacting the DEMLR"Regional Engineer as provided below in Tier Three. The Regional Engineer may direct the response actions on the part of the permittee as provided in Tier Three, including reduced or additional sampling parameters or frequency. S. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the SPPP. 6. Continue Tier Two response obligations throughout the permit renewal process. Tier Three If: The valid sampling results required for the permit monitoring periods exceed the benchmark value, or are outside the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at any specific outfall on four occasions, the permittee shall notify the DEMLR Regional Engineer in writing within 30 days of receipt of the fourth Then: The Division may but is not limited to: • require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring and reporting frequency for some or all of the parameters herein; • require sampling of additional or substitute parameters; • require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls; • require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures; • require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize impacts on receiving waters; or • require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion; • require the permittee to continue Tier Three obligations through the permit renewal process. Part II Page 8 of 15 Permit No. NCS000379 ' This site discharges to impaired waters experiencing problems with a fish advisory for mercury. A Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) was approved for this segment of the Chowan River and Brooks Creek. You should continue to monitor for this pollutant of concern in the future and submit results to the Division. The Division will consider the monitoring results in determining whether additional Ws are needed to control the pollutant of concern to the maximum extent practicable. If additional BMPs are needed to achieve the required level of control, the permittee will be required to (1) develop a strategy for implementing appropriate BMPs, and (2) submit a timetable for incorporation of those BMPs into the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREME The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to evaluate the -effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and identify new potential sources of stormwater pollution. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls,must be performed during a measurable storm event. Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of -each stormwater outfall regardless of representative outfall status. Qualitative monitoring shall be performed semi-annually as specified in Table 4, and during required analytical monitoring events (unless the permittee is required to perform further qualitative monitoring per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below). Inability to monitor b ecause of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and,recorded on the Qualitative Monitoring Report form (see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must be monitored (See Definitions). In the event an atypical condition is noted at a stormwater discharge outfall, the permittee shall document the suspected cause of the condition and any actions taken in response to the discovery. This documentation will be maintained with the SPPP.

A written record of the permittee's investigation, evaluation, and response actions shall be kept in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. UIY.1I1M4Wau16111Life] III 114U4.161i]1 Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluating SPPP effectiveness, identifying new potential sources of stormwater pollution, and prompting the permittee's response to pollution. If the permittee repeatedly fails to respond effectively to correct problems identified by qualitative monitoring, or if the discharge causes or contributes to a water quality standard violation, the Division may but is not limited to: • require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring frequency for some or all parameters (analytical or qualitative) • require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls; • require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures; require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize impacts on receiving waters; or require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion.

BMPs have a very broad definition and may include materials management practices, housekeeping, preventative maintenance, inspections, spill prevention/ response, sediment and erosion control, and management of runoff. Other BMPs include, but are not limited to debris control, vegetative filter strips, infiltration, storm water detention or retention where necessary and sediment catch basins. The need for BMPs will be based on the assessment of the potential of sources contributing significant quantities of pollutants to storm water discharges and data collected through monitoring and auditing. Good Housekeeping: In general the facility has a large amount of material stored outside. The material should not have a negative impact upon surface waters. In addition, much of the material is being stored temporarily awaiting processing or shipment. However, the volume of the material stored outside increases the likelihood that an item placed outside in the future may impact surface waters. Therefore, ensuring that any material or scrap metal that is stored outside is free from radiation and is as clean as possible, though not a requirement of the SP3 plan, is a good long term material management strategy. The scrap management plan is located in Appendix E. Minimize the quantity of pallets, equipment, and other materials stored outside to maximum extent possible. All drums containing any chemical, oil, fuel, or hazardous waste shall be properly secured and labeled. Trash dumpsters on the site will be routinely pulled before the contents spill out. Free liquid material shall not be placed in these dumpsters. Toxic and hazardous materials shall be stored inside, if safety provisions allow, or in a covered area. The facility should be kept clean by regularly picking up trash and litter. The facility shall use fertilizer, herbicide and pesticides in a judicious manner to prevent overuse of these materials. Paved areas should be swept on a regular basis. Dust control such as water shall be applied to unpaved travel roads as needed. Pollution prevention concepts shall be regularly publicized to employees. Painting Operations: • Inspect and properly prepare parts for painting. • Contain and properly dispose of or reuse sanding and sandblasting materials where possible. • Prevent paint waste from contacting storm water. • Properly store paint and solvents under cover. • Make sure paint equipment is operating efficiently and does not leak. • Recycle paint, paint thinner, and solvents. Vehicle and Equipment Washing: Oily equipment and vehicles are not to be washed or steam cleaned outside without appropriate controls for wash waters. Use phosphate free biodegradable detergents. Wash over impervious surfaces. Loading and Unloading Materials: • Loading areas should be swept on a regular basis. • Grade, berm or curb area around loading area to prevent storm water runoff contamination. • Inspect trucks for leaks. • Clean loading areas of accidental spills immediately. Outside Storage of Raw Materials, By -Products or Finished Products: • Store all materials indoors to the extent practicable. • Prevent storm water runoff by enclosing area or building a berm around the area. Preventative Maintenance: Containment berms and aboveground storage tanks should be inspected monthly for leaks, cracks, and other signs of deterioration. Material storage areas should be inspected monthly for corroded and damaged drums, boxes, crates, and bags, or other potential causes of leaks and spills. Items identified should be repaired or contained, and any spillage immediately cleaned up. A preventative inspection and testing program shall be developed for all major equipment use or stored outside (including vehicles) that could lead to storm water runoff contamination. The program shall include: Service checklists and maintenance logs for each piece of equipment. Employee education and instruction materials; and Review of manufacturer -recommended frequency of parts replacement and maintenance activities. Major equipment used or stored outside shall be kept clean by frequently removing accumulated oil and grease that may be exposed to storm water or that may hide equipment trouble spots. Scheduled maintenance of vehicles and major equipment (except cranes, locomotives and stationary equipment), shall be conducted in a covered or bermed area. Storm water management devices (e.g. cleaning oil/water separators, cleaning catch basins, cleaning sumps) shall be inspected regularly and properly maintained. Vehicle and Equipment Maintenance: • Prevent spills and drips of solvents and cleaners on the shop floor. • Check for leaking oil and fluids. • Use nontoxic or low toxicity materials and solvents when possible. • Use recycled or recyclable products when possible. • Avoid hosing down work areas unless spilled materials are cleaned up first. • Do not pour liquid waste in floor drains, sinks, or outdoor storm drains. • Drain oil filters before disposal or recycling. Spill Prevention and Response: Facilities should adopt spill control measures that require repair of any damaged container prior to outdoor transport and immediate cleanup of spilled material to the greatest extent possible. Any observed leak or spill should be immediately contained and cleaned up. The cause of the problem should be repaired as soon as possible. Drip pans or similar containers shall be placed under any leaking piece of stationary equipment until the leak is repaired. Dry cleanup methods, using an absorbent material, shall be utilized where appropriate on all significant leaks and spills. An adequate supply of absorbent materials shall be maintained, and used absorbent material shall be swept up and properly disposed of. An adequate amount of dry absorbent should be stored near fuel pumps, tanks, and other areas prone to spills, and used as needed to contain and cleanup spills. Berms and curbing may be constructed to contain areas prone to spills. Proper compatible storage containers should be used for materials stored outside. Any damaged containers should be repaired or the materials in the damaged containers transferred to a new undamaged container. All containers should be clearly labeled. Drums containing liquids, including oil and lubricants, shall be stored indoors or in containment devices. Where practicable, a containment system such as a concrete pad or double walled tanks shall be provided around all tanks/containers located outside. Where practicable a containment system such as a concrete pad with berms -shall be provided under the hydraulic systems of equipment located outside. Special care should be taken to prevent and immediately clean up any leaks or spills that occur in recessed loading dock areas that drain to a sump. The sump water should, where practicable, be discharged to the facility's water treatment plant or sanitary sewer (with permission). Absorbent pads and blankets may be placed in, or around, storm drains to collect sediments and oily substances. Liquid Storage in Aboveground Tanks: • Comply with existing spill prevention, cleanup and countermeasures plans (SPCC) and incorporate by reference. • Employ engineering safeguards to prevent accidental releases of pollutants. • Install overflow protection devices on tank systems to warn operator or to automatically shut down transfer pumps when tank reaches full capacity. • Place protective guards around tanks and piping to prevent vehicle or forklift damage. • Clearly tag or label valves to reduce human error. • Visually inspect tank system to identify problem areas. • Provide secondary containment system around both permanent and temporary tanks. Fueling Stations: • An automatic shut-off device should be installed on all gasoline and diesel fuel pumps. • Install spills and overfill prevention equipment on fuel storage tanks and pumps. • Avoid "topping off' vehicle fuel tanks. • Paving fuel areas with concrete, where possible. • Covering fuel areas with roofs, where possible. • Grading, berming or curbing fueling area to avoid storm water runoff. • Store sorbent material near fueling areas to absorb spills. Sediment and Erosion Prevention: The topography'at the Nucor facility is primarily flat with dense vegetation typical of the North Carolina coastal region. Unpaved yard/operation areas should be periodically re -graded to prevent the formation of ruts and gullies. Gravel and stone aggregate placement at the sites should be coarse, with a minimum amount of fine particles, which would be easily flushed by runoff. A good vegetative cover should be maintained in non -operational unpaved areas. Any observed erosion, scouring or sedimentation should be controlled using appropriate vegetative, stabilization, or structural measures. Vegetative filter strips may be installed to provide a buffer area around the facility operation areas. Grassed swales may be used to stabilize eroded ditches or channels. Scrap, Slag, and Mill Scale Storage and Processing Areas: Prevent storm water runoff by: • Storing scrap and slag on more elevated portions of the facility; or • Constructing curbs, berms, or storm water conveyance ditches around the elevated or higher portion of the scrap yard or slag storage area. Construct slag aggregate piles to maintain a steep slope so as to minimize the area exposed to rainfall. Control storm water runoff from slag or scrap areas can be minimized through installing sedimentation and erosion controls such as fabric fences, straw barriers, or sediment filter bags. Install grass or other vegetation buffer strips to promote filtration and remove solids. Baghouse Maintenance and Dust Handling During loading of baghouse dust to rail car the rail car loader shall sweep up any spilled dust in the silo area. The swept up dust shall be placed in the satellite drums located at the silo. Wear proper Personnel Protective Equipment (PPE) and follow Lock Out/Tag Out Procedures. Labels and covers shall be kept on the satellite drums at all times. When performing work on the screw conveyors, the dust shall be run out of the conveyors and conveyed to the silo. Any remaining dust shall be vacuumed or swept and placed in the labeled satellite drums. During cleaning or scraping of the fan wheels the scraped dust and materials shall be kept inside the fans to be conveyed to the baghouse, with exception of the main air fans. When changing filter bags in the baghouse, place filters inside a plastic bag and seal the bag. When performing maintenance in a baghouse compartment, any dust found on the floor shall be swept down a filter bag hole in a cell plate (after removal of a filter of course). Dock Area The following shall be conducted as needed: • Loading areas should be swept on a regular basis • Inspect equipment for leaks • Clean loading areas of accidental spills immediately 8 • Any observed leak or spill should be immediately contained and cleaned up. The cause of the problem should be repaired as soon as possible. Drip pans or similar containers shall be placed under any leaking piece of stationary equipment until the leak is repaired. • Dry cleanup methods, using absorbent material shall be utilized where appropriate on all significant leaks and spills. An adequate supply of absorbent materials shall be maintained and used absorbent material shall be swept up and properly disposed. • Oily equipment and vehicles are not to be washed or steam cleaned on the dock area. • No discharge of liquid material from either barges or tug is allowed at or around the dock facility at Nucor Hertford. Proper removal of this material is the responsibility of the transport company • No maintenance of barges or tug is to be performed, unless an emergency, at the dock facility at Nucor Hertford. Maintenance of barges and tug is the responsibility of the transport company and should be scheduled at deep -water ports. Summary of Operational Changes/Additions Additional processes added to Nucor Steel Hertford County since the last stormwater permit renewal include a quench and temper line, a normalizing line, and DRI conveyor system. The quench and temper line contain an austenitizing furnace, a tempering furnace, a shot blaster, a cooling tower, and two plate cutting beds. The shot blaster is used to clean the plate of any residual scale or surface impurities before entering the two furnaces. The austenitizing and tempering furnace heat and cool the plate to different degrees in order to improve physical properties of the steel. The cooling towers are used to process the water used during the quench and tempering process. The plate cutting beds cut the plates to the desired lengths for customer orders. The normalizing line contains a normalizing furnace, plate cutting beds, and a shot blaster. The shot blaster is used to clean the plate of any residual scale or surface impurities before entering the furnace. The normalizing furnace heats and cools the plate to different degrees in order to harden and strengthen the steel. The plate cutting beds cut the plat to the desired length for customer orders. The DRI conveyor system contains pipe conveyors and storage silos. DRI is used as a scrap substitute in the steel making process. DRI will arrive on a barge and transferred from the barge to the storage silos by the pipe conveyor system. From the storage silos it is then transferred by pipe conveyor system to the electric arc furnace for processing.
