Other Special Items: None PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS This section of the State Port stores mainly pine and hardwood chips exported as needed by ship. Recently the company has decided to store steel slag and washed stone also. The potential impact of the materials was studied and approved in August 2001 with a resulting increase in turbidity monitoring from annually to monthly. No changes are recommended from the current monitoring schedule. Stormwater is discharged from the East yard (5 acres: 0.25 acre steel slag, 2 acres stone, the remainder wood chips), the West yard (12 acres wood chips), and various asphalt roadways and parking lots. The East Yard has a settling basin and discharges into outfall 001 as indicated on the attached map. The West basin discharges at outfall 002. The facility is deficient in several permit effluent monitoring requirements and will be addressed in an inspection report. The East settling basin water was found to be relatively clear and no visible sheen was present. It is recommended the permit be reissued to Morehead City Terminals in accordance with the White Oak River Basinwide plan.
