Johnson, Environmental Manager DuPont Fluoroproducts 22828 Highway 87 W Fayetteville, North Carolina 28306-7332 Dear Mr. Johnson: Michael F. Easley, Governor State of North Carolina William G. Ross, Jr., Secretary Department of Environment and Natural Resources Alan W. Klimek, P.E., Director Division of Water Quality Subject: NPDES Permit Issuance Permit No. NC0003573 Fayetteville Works Bladen County Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit. Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. 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 May 9, 1994 (or as subsequently amended). The only significant change present in the final permit is the requirement to post a warning sign along the wastewater conveyance downstream of the outfall from the wood -lined ditch. Staff from the Division's Fayetteville Regional Office have observed members of the public swimming in the channel downstream of the outfall from the ditch. The warning sign is intended reduce public exposure to wastewater effluent from DuPont's facility. If you have questions regarding the content of this sign, please direct them to Mr. Paul Rawls of the Fayetteville Regional Office. This sign should be in place within 30 days of the issuance of this permit. Compliance with all terms and conditions of the attached permit is the responsibility of the Permittee. Please note that T15A 08G .0204 of the North Carolina Administrative Code has been interpreted to mean that the Operator in Responsible Charge is responsible for operation of water pollution control systems. If an y parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings (6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714). Unless such demand is made, this permit shall be final and binding. Please take notice that this permit is not transferable. This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by .the Division of Water Quality or permits required by the Division of Land Resources, Coastal Area Management Act, or any other Federal or Local governmental permits which may be required. 161 7 MAIL SERVICE CENTER, RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA 27699-161 7 -TELEPHONE 919-733-5083/FAX 91 9-733-0719 VI51T US ON THE WEB AT http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/NPDES Mr. Johnson DuPont Fayetteville - NCO003573 Page 2 If you have any questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact Mark McIntire of my staff at (919) 733-5083, extension 508.

Instream temperature sampling shall be conducted weekly. 4 The samples for fluoride shall be taken downstream of the 001 discharge, unless or until, all neutralized Nafion area streams are discharged entirely into the cooling water outfall, 002.

(8) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QUARTERLY) — OUTFALL 001 The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 3.3%. The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent versions or "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months of February, May, August, and November. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes. If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV below the permit limit, then multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in each of the two following months as described in "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the highest concentration having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest concentration that does have a detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of "detectable impairment," collection methods, exposure regimes, and further statistical methods are specified in the "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR -1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the parameter code TGP3B for the pass/fail results and THP3B for the Chronic Value, Additionally, DWQ Form AT -3 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch North Carolina Division of Water Quality 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621 Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch no later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made. Test data shall be complete, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved designate signature. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream. Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the report with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to the Environmental Sciences Branch at the address cited above. Should the permittee fail to monitor duri ng a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, monitoring will be required during the following month. Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the Nort h Carolina Division of Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re- opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits. NOTE; Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum contr ol organism survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring, Permit NC0003573 A. (9) RE -OPENER CONDITION This permit shall be modified, or revoked and reissued to incorporate additional toxicity limitations and monitoring requirements in the event toxicity testing or other studies conducted on the effluent or receiving stream indicate that detrimental effects may be expected in the receiving stream as a result of this discharge. A. (10) BIOCIDE CONDITION The permittee shall not use any biocide except those approved in conjunction with the permit application. The permittee shall notify the Director in writing not later than ninety (90) days prior to instituting use of any additional biocide used in cooling systems which may be toxic to aquatic life other than those previously reported to the Division of Water Quality. Such notification shall include completion of Biocide Worksheet Form 101 and a map locating the discharge point and receiving stream. A. (11) OUTFALL WARNING CONDITION Within 30 days of the issuance of this permit, the permittee shall post a sign along the wastewater conveyance. This sign shall include language that indicates the channel to be an industrial wastewater conveyance no recommended for recreational purposes. This sign shall also provide appropriate DuPont contact information in the event members of the public have questions or concerns.
