THERE SHALL BE NO DISCHARGE OF FLOATING SOLIDS OR VISIBLE FOAM IN OTHER THAN TRACE AMOUNTS. Permit NC0003573 A. (4) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT ((QUARTERLY) — OUTFALL 002 The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to Cerodaph-da 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 Ch`J 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 TGP313 for the pass/fail results and THP313 for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWQ Form AT -3 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention: Environmental Sciences Section 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 Section 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 Section at the address cited above. Should the permittee fail to monitor during 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 North 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 control 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. (5) 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. (6) 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.

Tedlar@ is used in the photovoltaic industry in photovoltaic cells and the aircraft industry for interior cabin surfaces, as well as other uses. The PVF -1 facility began operation during September 2007, the PVF -2 facility began operation during June 2010. Process wastewater generated from this manufacturing facility is treated in the WWTP. Non -contact cooling water, condensate and stormwater will be discharged to Outfall 002. Wastewater Treatment: Process wastewaters and stormwater from process areas are collected in sumps in the respective manufacturing areas and conveyed via gravity sewers to the wastewater treatment plant. Sanitary sewage is conveyed separately to the WWTP. The treatment system discharges through Outfall 001 to the main discharge channel. Non -process cooling waters and stormwater are conveyed to ditches and discharged to the main discharge channel. The combined flows are discharged through Outfall 002 to the Cape Fear River below Lock and Dam #3. Effluent Guidelines: DuPont's Fayetteville Works is regulated under the Organic Chemicals, Plastics and Synthetic Fibers Category, 40 CFR 414 Subpart D. These guidelines apply to products manufactured under SIC codes 2869 and 2821. SIC code 2869 includes NafionO solution, Vinyl Ether and HFPO monomers manufacturing. SIC code 2821 includes Teflon@ resin, polyvinyl fluoride resin, polyvinyl butyral resin and Nafion@ resin manufacturing. Manufacturing of Nafion membrane, ButaciteO sheeting and Sentry Glass plus are classified as SIC code 3081 which is not regulated by the OCPSF guidelines. Regulated process flow for Outfall 001 is approximately 0.9 MGD. This flow includes the flow from PVF manufacturing process. EG limits - Subpart D - Thermoplastic Resins, 414.41 Limits are calculated by multiplying the allocation from the effluent guidelines by 8.34 (conversion factor) and by OCPSF process flow.

Compliance Summary: During the review period (2007-2011) the facility did not receive any Notices of Violation. Whole Effluent Toxicity - The permit requires a quarterly chronic test at 3.3 %. The facility passed all the tests during the previous permit term (please see attached). Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA): The RPA was conducted for F, please see attached. Instream data review: There are monitoring stations in the Cape Fear River upstream (B8301000) and downstream (B8302000) of the discharge. Data from the monitoring stations indicates no noticeable impact from the discharge. SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES: I • One clarifier was added to the description of the treatment facility. • The permit limits have recalculated based on the latest OCPSF production information in accordance with the 40 CFR 414 Subpart D. • The limits for Cr, Cu, CN, Pb, Ni, and Zn were added to the permit in accordance with the 40 CFR 414 Subpart D. • The limit for F was removed from the permit based on the statistical analysis of the effluent data and the monitoring was reduced to quarterly. The instream monitoring for F was removed from the permit.

Receiving stream or affected surface waters: Cape Fear River PART I - GENERAL INFORMATION -(continued) a. Classification: Class C b. River Basin and Subbasin No.: Cape Fear River Basin 03 - 06 - 17 C. Describe receiving stream features and pertinent downstream uses: Treated wastewater from Outfall 001 flowed into a board lined ditch, which contained the boiler blow -down from DuPont, the once -through cooling water, and the filter backwash that was discharged to the Nafion® ditch. Approximately 50 to 100 feet downstream of where Outfall 001 flow commingled with the flow that was in the board lined ditch, the flow passed under a board deck that supported the Outfall 002 compositor. For compliance monitoring of samples for chronic toxicity, and according to the NPDES permit, the samples were taken downstream of the confluence of outfall 001 and the flow that was in the board lined ditch. This sample point was Outfall 002. The Cape Fear River was located approximately 2,500 feet downstream. (The discharge point has historically been indicated as the main stem of the Cape Fear River.) An A to C (ATC # 003573A02) was being processed for the relocation of Outfall 002 to the Cape Fear River at a location upstream of Lock and Dam No. 3 PART H - DESCRIPTION OF WASTES AND TREATMENT WORKS 1. a. Volume of wastewater to be permitted: 2.0 MGD b. What is the current permitted capacity of the Wastewater Treatment facility? 2.0 MGD C. Actual treatment capacity of the current facility (current design capacity). 2.0 MGD d. Date(s) and construction activities allowed by previous Authorization to Construct issued in the previous two (2) years. 1.) On July 15, 2008, plans were approved by Steve Coffey for the building Clarifier #3. 2.) ATC # 003573A02 was for the relocation of Outfall 002 e. Please provide a description of existing or substantially constructed wastewater treatment facilities: Process wastewater and storm water from the various manufacturing areas were collected in the respective area sumps and ultimately conveyed via a gravity flow underground process sewer pipe to the site's central wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). Sanitary sewage was conveyed via a separate underground sewer system to the WWTP. The permitted flow rate of the WWTP was 2.0 MGD, with an actual average flow rate of less than 1 MGD. This process wastewater was commingled in the WWTP Influent Sump where it was pumped to an 850,000 -gallon Equalization Basin. The Equalization Basin was mixed with two floating mixers. Three floating surface aerators in the basin cool and aerated the incoming wastewater. A 175,000 -gallon Emergency Retention Tank was available for temporary storage of the wastewater which may need additional treatment or acclimation in the WWTP activated sludge process at a controlled rate that allowed for proper biological treatment. Wastewater from the Equalization Basin was normally pumped to a 250,000 -gallon Predigester Tank in which initial biological activity with the WWTP activated sludge begins. The Predigester Tank was aerated. The partially treated wastewater from the Predigester Tank was pumped to a 1,700,000 -gallon Aeration Tank. The Aeration Tank was the site of the majority of the biological activity. The Aeration Tank was aerated primarily by a diffused air system located in the bottom of the tank. Pa PART II - DESCRIPTION OF WASTES AND TREATMENT WORKS -(continued) The biologically treated wastewater was then sent to two in -ground clarifiers (119,000 gallons and 168,000 gallons respectively) in parallel. The clarified treated effluent was discharged to and through Outfall 001. The wasted sludge was sent to a Dissolved Air Floatation (DAF) unit, then to a 47,000 gallon Sludge Storage Tank, and finally to a Rotary Filter for thickening. The thickened sludge was dewatered in a Sludge Press and dried in a steam -heated dryer for additional moisture removal. The dewatered and/or dried sludge was transported off-site to a commercial Subtitle D landfill. Non -contact process cooling water and non -process storm water were conveyed via surface ditches to the site's wood lined ditch. In addition, Outfall 001 effluent was discharged directly to the wood lined ditch. The combined, total flow of water from the site was discharged at Outfall 002. The Outfall 002 maximum 30 -day average flow was 18.1 MGD during the period from 2009-2010. Flow variability at Outfall 002 was from 7.5 to 18.1 MGD. f. Please provide a description of proposed wastewater treatment facilities: 1) the relocation of the Plant Outfall 002 (ATC # 003573A02), 2) the addition of Clarifier #3. g.

Alternative Analysis Evaluation: Has the facility evaluated all of the nondischarge options available? Please provide regional perspective for each option evaluated. Spray Irrigation: Not practical. Connection to Regional Sewer System: None Available. Subsurface: Not practical. Other disposal options: None known. Other Special Items: There were 7 items of interest that the Fayetteville Regional Office would like to be reviewed and modified, if appropriate. a. "C8" compound (perfluorooctanoic acid, APFO) is currently manufactured at the Fayetteville DuPont Works in a separate PPA manufacturing building (for fluoropolymer processing aids). All wastewater generated from this manufacturing facility is collected and shipped off-site for disposal. No process wastewater from this manufacturing facility is discharged to the site's biological WWTP or to the Cape Fear River. Due to C8 being detected in some of the monitoring wells on DuPont's site and the general public's concern over the health effects of C8 (see attached letter from North Carolina C8 Working Group, dated May 5, 2006), the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality recommends the continuation of the monitoring requirement for C8 on the effluent for data collection and information purposes. The APFO results were 0.22 µg/L in May 2009 and 0. 19 µg/L in November 2010. b. All discharges from this DuPont site ultimately flow into the wood lined ditch, which collectively discharges into an effluent channel that flows to the Cape Fear River. Over the years the flow of the effluent through the channel has significantly eroded the banks and has carried and deposited the sediment in the Cape Fear River forming a Delta -like structure. DuPont acknowledged that their effluent channel has and continues to cause sediment to be deposited into the Cape Fear River. DuPont's Plan -Of -Action to address this issue is for the relocation of Plant Outfall 002 (ATC # 003573A02). c. According to the NPDES Permit Renewal Application letter dated April 29, 2011: "This site is being considered for a project to construct and operate a third manufacturing facility that will produce polyvinyl fluoride ("PVF") polymer resins. Two water balances are included in the application: one without the third PVF facility and one with the third PVF facility." d. Please see the enclosed letter (dated December 5, 2007) from Michael Johnson to Gil Vinzani concerning fluoromalonate concentration as high as 0.97 mg/L, because it may be of concern in Part III, Section C, b of the NPDES permit. e. Please review the Whole Effluent Toxicity sampling location that requires that the "compliance monitoring point for chronic toxicity shall be downstream of the confluence of outfall 001 and 002". This does not appear to agree with the Outfall 002 limits page which says that "the Permittee is authorized to discharge from Outfall 002 (boiler blowdown, once -through cooling water, and treated wastewater from outfall 001)". By this description, Outfall 002 is located below the confluence of outfall 001 and the flow from the wood lined ditch. f. It appears that the 3.3% IWC that is used for the Whole Effluent Toxicity Pass/Fail dilution was derived by using the sum of the total volumes that are in Outfall 002 "(boiler blowdown, once -through cooling water, and treated wastewater from outfall 001)" in the calculation, along with the 7Q10 for Cape Fear. Please review the sample point that requires Whole Effluent Toxicity testing, because it appears to be more applicable to Outfall 002, instead of Outfall 001 [as is presently in the permit, in the Outfall 001 limits page and in Part I, A.(4) ]. g. Please change the description of the wastewater treatment facilities to three clarifiers (from the presently stated "dual clarifiers") because a third clarifier was recently built and put on-line. h. Please include wording in the new permit concerning the requirement for a flow meter located at the Outfall 002, because ATC#003573A02 for the relocation of Outfall 002 did not mention a flow meter. During the Compliance Evaluation Inspection on February 17, 2011, Mike Johnson verbally told Dale Lopez that the relocated Outfall 002 would have a flow meter. Presently, the influent flow from the Cape Fear River water intake is used in the flow measurement calculation for Outfall 002. The Cape Fear River influent flow measurement device is located on a 42 -inch pipe, and the influent flow is measured by a Rosemont 1151 DP (Differential Pressure) flowmeter (venture type). The possible sources of flow measurement error when using the influent flow values for the estimated effluent flow from this facility to the Cape Fear are as follows: 1) the effect of evaporation loss within the entire DuPont facility, 2) the effect of infiltration, 3) the use of purchased potable water that flows thru the WWTP, and 4) the influence of the storm water volume from a rain event. PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS The Fayetteville Regional Office recommends that the DuPont WWTP be reissued NPDES Permit No. NC0021636.

DuPont has determined that fluoromalonate is being discharged from the site's wastewater treatment plant at a concentration exceeding the notification level of 0.50 mg/L specified in Part III(C)(b)(1) the NPDES permit. Recent analysis of the treatment plant's clarifier effluent showed the fluoromalonate concentration as high as 0.97 mg/L. The compound being discharged from the treatment plant would likely be monopotassium fluoromalonate (CAS No. 3107-37-9) or dipotassium fluoromalonate (CAS No. 3107-37-7). Depending on the pH, the compound in the Cape Fear River would be either fluoromalonic acid (CAS No. 473-87-0), monopotassium fluoromalonate or dipotassium fluoromalonate.

Part III B: WATER BALANCE WITHOUT PVF -3 PROCESS (Revised 04/29/2011) DuPont Company - Fayetteville Works Flows Unit: Gallons per Day Basis: All Production Manufacturing, using Maximum 30 day average of measured flows NPDES PERMIT APPLICATION r) jj�D t�- ` DuPont Company — Fayetteville Works NPDES Permit No. NC0003573 Supplemental Information Supplemental Information — Permit Renewal Application — April 29, 2011 Current Site Water Management Process wastewater and stormwater from the various manufacturing areas are collected in the respective area sumps and ultimately conveyed via a gravity flow underground process sewer pipe to the site's central wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). Sanitary sewage is conveyed via a separate underground sewer system to the WWTP. The permitted flowrate of the WWTP is 2.0 MGD, with an actual average flowrate of approximately one MGD. This process wastewater is commingled in the WWTP Influent Sump where it is pumped to an 850,000 -gallon Equalization Basin. The Equalization Basin is mixed with two floating submerged mixers. Three floating surface aerators in the basin cool and aerate the incoming wastewater. A 175,000 -gallon Emergency Retention Tank is available for temporary storage of wastewater which may need additional treatment or acclimation in the WWTP activated sludge process at a controlled rate that allows for proper biological treatment. Wastewater from the Equalization Basin is normally pumped to a 250,000 -gallon Predigester Tank in which initial biological activity with the WWTP activated sludge begins. The Predigester Tank is aerated. The partially treated wastewater from the Predigester Tank is pumped to a 1,700,000 -gallon Aeration Tank. The Aeration Tank is the site of the majority of the biological activity. The Aeration Tank is aerated primarily by a diffused air system located in the bottom of the tank. The tank can have supplemental aeration via a floating Biomixer® that injects air through submerged rotors. The biologically treated wastewater is then sent to one of two in -ground clarifiers (119,000 gallons and 168,000 gallons respectively) or an above -ground 679,000 -gallon clarifier; with all clarifiers being operated in parallel. The clarified treated effluent is discharged to and through Outfall 001. The wasted sludge is sent to a Dissolved Air Floatation (DAF) unit, then to a 47,000 gallon Sludge Storage Tank, and finally to a Rotary Filter for thickening. The thickened sludge is dewatered in a Sludge Press, and can be dried in a steam -heated dryer for additional moisture removal. The dewatered sludge or dewatered/dried sludge is transported off-site to a commercial Subtitle D landfill. Non -contact process cooling water and non -process stormwater are conveyed via surface ditches. In addition, excess riverwater flow and Outfall 001 effluent are discharged directly to a surface ditch. The combined, total flow of water from the site is discharged and monitored at Outfall 002. The DMR reported Outfall 002 maximum 30 -day average flow was 20.75 MGD during the period from 2008 to 2010. Flow variability at Outfall 002 was from 3 to 26 MGD, however, this monitored flow was the influent of river water pumped into the site, and did not include the discharge of stormwater or treated sanitary sewage. DuPont Company — Fayetteville Works NPDES Permit No. NC0003573 Supplemental Information Supplemental Information — Permit Renewal Application — April 29, 2011 Proposed Changes in Operations PVF -3 Manufacturing Facility: The DuPont Company — Fayetteville Works is being considered as the location for a third DuPontTM Polyvinyl Fluoride ("PVF") manufacturing process ("PVF -3"). The manufacturing facility is in the process of being designed, and will produce PVF polymer resins. PVF resin to be manufactured at the Fayetteville plant is used in DuPontTM Tedlar® fluoropolymer film business. Tedlar® film is manufactured at other DuPont site location (not the Fayetteville plant). Tedlar® is used in the photovoltaic industry in photovoltaic cells and the aircraft industry for interior cabin surfaces, as well as many other uses. Assuming this new facility is sited at the DuPont Company — Fayetteville Works, construction would be completed in August 2013 and the unit would begin production in September 2013. The manufacturing facility will be located near the existing PVF -1 and PVF -2 manufacturing processes. This process will produce polyvinyl fluoride ("PVF") resin (CAS No. 24981-14-4). As with most fluorochemical processes, the main wastewater stream from the PVF -3 manufacturing process would have trace or no biological oxygen demand (BODS) value. The major pollutant associated with this process wastewater would be solid resin (as Total Suspended Solids). To treat this wastewater, DuPont intends to pump the majority of the PVF -3 process wastewater directly to the third clarifier, which would remove the resin solids as part of the activated sludge removed from the WWTP system. Ultimately the resin solids would be removed from the system as part of the wasted sludge that is sent off site to a Subpart D landfill. Approximately 3% of the PVF -3 process wastewater contains a cleaning solution will be sent to the headworks of the site's WWTP. The PVF -3 Manufacturing Facility would have a process wastewater stream containing a cleaning solution or surfactant. This wastewater stream, representing approximately 3% of the total PVF -3 process wastewater, would be sent to the headworks of the site's WWTP for biological treatment. Finally, non -contact cooling, condensate, and stormwater from the PVF -3 Manufacturing Facility will be discharged directly to Outfall 002 via the site's non -contact water ditch. DuPont Company — Fayetteville Works NPDES Permit No. NC0003573 Supplemental Information Supplemental Information — Permit Renewal Application — Apri129, 2011 Current Operating Conditions Butacite® Manufacturing: The DuPont Company — Fayetteville Works' Butacite® manufacturing area produces two final products. DuPontTM Butacite® Interlayer plastic sheeting is the final product used in safety glass such as automobile windshields. Polyvinyl butyral (PVB) resin is shipped off-site as a transfer to other DuPont locations for final processing. Wastewater generated from this manufacturing facility is treated in the site's biological wastewater treatment plant ("WWTP"). Nafion® Manufacturing: The DuPont Company — Fayetteville Works' Nafion® manufacturing area produces five final products. DuPontTM Nafion® Membrane is a plastic film used in the chloroalkali industry and in electrochemical fuel cells. Nafion® Resins are ultimately extruded into a finished film. The FLPR Vinyl Ether and HFPO monomers are shipped to other DuPont locations to produce various fluorochemical products such as DuPontTM Teflon& Wastewater generated from this manufacturing facility is neutralized and discharged to the WWTP. PPA Manufacturing: The DuPont Company — Fayetteville Works' PPA manufacturing area produces several polymer processing aids. The processing aids produced in this unit are used to produce fluoropolymers and fluorinated telomers, but none of the produced processing aids are used at the Fayetteville Works site. This facility was started up in November 2002. All process wastewater generated from this manufacturing facility is collected and shipped off-site for disposal. No process wastewater from this manufacturing facility is discharged to the site's biological WWTP or to the Cape Fear River. SentryGlas® Manufacturing: The DuPont Company — Fayetteville Works' SentryGlass manufacturing area produces DuPontTM SentryGlas® ionoplast interlayer laminate. SentryGlasS interlayer is used for laminated safety glass in side, rear, and overhead automobile windows. It is also used in architectural applications desiring safety glass. This facility was started up in June 2005. There is no contact process wastewater generated from this manufacturing facility, therefore only sanitary waste from this area is treated in the WWTP. This manufacturing facility does discharge non -contact cooling water to a surface ditch and ultimately to Outfall 002. PVF Manufacturing: The DuPont Company — Fayetteville Works' PVF manufacturing area produces polyvinyl fluoride resin is used in the electronics industry as a backing for photovoltaic cells, as well as many other uses. The PVF -1 facility was constructed in 2006-2007 and was started up in September 2007. The PVF -2 facility was constructed in 2008-2010 and was started up in June 2010. Process wastewater generated from this manufacturing facility is treated in the WWTP.

" V DuPont Company — Fayetteville Works NPDES Permit No. NC0003573 Supplemental Information Supplemental Information — Permit Renewal Application — April 29, 2011 Sludge Management Plan The DuPont - Fayetteville Works operates a Class 3 Wastewater Treatment Plant which is comprised of a single -stage activated sludge biological system. Excess sludge is removed from the system by diverting part of the Recycled Activated Sludge (at approximately 0.6% solids) from the clarifiers to a Dissolved Air Floatation ("DAF") unit for initial thickening. The sludge from the DAF (at approximately 3% solids) is transferred to a Mix Tank where polymer agents are added to enhance the dewatering process. The semi -thickened sludge is transferred from the Mix Tank to a Rotary Filter for final thickening, whereby the sludge is thickened to 6% solids. The thickened sludge is then transferred to a Screw Press where it is dewatered to a concentration of 9-20% solids. Following the Screw Press, the sludge is typically dried in steam heated dryers to a concentration of 40-55% solids. On the average, the weekly quantity of generated dried sludge is approximately 23,000 lb. The dried sludge, or on occasion the dewatered sludge, is transported off-site to a commercial Subtitle D landfill. This sludge is currently being disposed of at the Waste Industries "Sampson County" Landfill near Roseboro, NC. -40 DuPont Company - Fayetteville Works NPDES Permit NC0003573.. .

The relocation was approved in a permit mod dated 2/26/2008. There was no discussion of a new sediment basin in that mod, just outfall relocation due to the sediment issues within the effluent channel. This permit expires 10/31/2011, and I don't envision reopening the permit before renewal. I can add the sediment basin as a new treatment component at that time, but the permit writer will discuss its purpose with DuPont. I'll put this email in the permit file, as a notice to the next permit writer to discuss any remaining SW issues.

From: Pickle, Ken Sent: Wednesday, October 06, 2010 10:50 AM To: Lawyer, Mike Cc: Bennett, Bradley; Belnick, Tom Subject: RE: Dupont Fayetteville Works NPDES No. NC0003573 Hi Mike, Further comments: Didn't mean to leave you hanging, just got sidetracked. a) Consider that 12MGD is our current working number for the wastewater discharge flow. You think that's erosive? It has been before. So, I suspect that the sediment basin is there to address the wastewater discharge erosion on a day -in -and -day -out basis. b) The boundary between NPDES and SPU may be unclear in some cases. My perspective is that this entire system is an NPDES system by virtue of all the stormwater being commingled with a wastewater discharge (I don't think it matters that the wastewater discharge is a 'partially treated' discharge during part of the run.) c) Consistent with that perspective, this is not a 'stormwater' basin: it's a wastewater basin, maybe a 'tertiary sedimentation' basin, or whatever lingo is appropriate in the wastewater world. We probably should see if the NPDES guys think this is their basin, or not. This is critical in responding to the question from the guys at CG&L. d) Mike, I agree, if there will be a remnant stormwater-only discharge from the old wooden channel, then the facility will need a stormwater permit for it. As you suggest one path would be just to simply address it with modifications to the existing NPDES wastewater permit. We have some of those permits still in our universe of NPDES permits. But, both SPU and NPDES are trying to move away from combined permits for administrative efficiency reasons. As weird as it might sound, it's easier/quicker/more efficient for the permittee and for the two units, when we issue permits separately, rather than in combo permits. Suggest we get Tom Belnick's input on this point, too. It's possible he may see it differently in this particular case. You may see it differently, too. It's possible that Tom may want to just modify the current NPDES permit by adding stormwater provisions, and address the splitting out of stormwater into two permits at the next scheduled renewal of his NPDES permit. Tom? Ken From: Lawyer, -Mike Sent: Friday, October 01, 2010 2:13 PM To: Pickle, Ken; Bennett, Bradley Cc: Patterson, Robert; Henson, Belinda; Rawls, Paul; Ventaloro, Julie Subject: RE: Dupont Fayetteville Works NPDES No. NC0003573 Yes, I neglected to mention this facility's water usage. My understanding is that they withdrawal approximately 12mgd, but only use what they require for processing (not sure how much) and send the rest back to the river via their current outfall. I believe this has been the major cause for the erosion in the effluent channel and subsequent sediment deposition into the river just downstream of L&D #3. I would be curious about the wooden channel that serves as their current conveyance of general wastewater and stormwater. If this channel is to remain, then its logical to presume that stormwater from portions of the facility would continue to enter and discharge from it. This may need to be added to their NPDES wastewater permit as a stormwater- only outfall to be monitored in addition to the relocated ww outfall. uX= Michael Lawyer, CPSWQ Environmental Specialist NCDENR-Division of Water Quality Surface Water Protection Section Fayetteville Regional Office Direct: (910) 433-3329 Main: (910) 433-3300 Fax: (910) 486-0707 e-mail: mike.lawyer@ncdenr.gov (please note my current e-mail address) *E-mail correspondence to and from this address may be subject to the North Carolina Public Records Law and may be disclosed to third parties. From: Pickle, Ken Sent: Friday, October 01, 2010 1:38 PM To: Lawyer, Mike; Bennett, Bradley Cc: Patterson, Robert; Henson, Belinda; Rawls, Paul; Ventaloro, Julie Subject: RE: Dupont Fayetteville Works NPDES No. NC0003573 Bradley, Other thoughts: I would suspect that the water usage of this facility is quite large. Aerial photos make it seem like their water intake is immediately above the dam and lock, and their discharge is immediately downstream of the dam and lock. Now they're proposing to return the water upstream of the lock and dam, instead of downstream. Who might be concerned about any affect on the dam? The Corps? NPDES wastewater ATC: Just two additional comments. First: To us this is really not a 'stormwater' basin that they're building, right? It's a settling basin to address the sediment load picked up as the wastewater discharge ` (augmented by storm flows) erodes the effluent channel, right? The flows are commingled (all now wastewater), and it's being built under a wastewater permit. This all looks ok to me. Second NPDES wastewater comment: In this case, any measurement of solids at internal outfall #001 masks the sediment load delivered by the erosion of the effluent channel. (As I read the RIMS information, NC0003573 requires TSS measurements at internal outfall #001, but not at outfall #002.) What regulatory requirement is driving this project? A new settling basin and the new 60" and 48" discharge lines have got to be costly. Must be the Corps? • 1 wonder if our brothers over in NPDES might want to add TSS to #002? • NPDES stormwater? if it's all captured on site and it's all in the wastewater outfall, no comment. (Other unpermitted stormwater outfalls?) o WS -IV CA water supply according to BIMS. • I don't think that we in SPU have any involvement in this project (except via NCG01 at the time of construction.) Ken From: Lawyer, Mike Sent: Friday, October 01, 2010 10:32 AM To: Bennett, Bradley Cc: Patterson, Robert; Pickle, Ken; Henson, Belinda; Rawls, Paul Subject: RE: Dupont Fayetteville Works NPDES No. NC0003573 This facility does not have a separate stormwater permit as their NPDES wastewater permit covers stormwater discharges in addition to wastewater plant effluent and general wastewater from a non -contact cooling tower and a boiler. General wastewater discharges flow into a wooden ditch, which also receives stormwater. Discharges from the facility's WWTP (internal outfall 001) also join the wooden ditch just prior to entering what is currently their effluent channel to the Cape Fear River (outfall 002) and ultimately discharging into the River downstream of Lock and Dam #3. My understanding of the reason they are proposing to reroute their discharge point, which would end up being upstream of L&D #3, is that a large amount of sediment has been deposited over time into the River through the effluent channel due to the amount and velocity of their discharges. As far as their proposal for a stormwater basin, I'm assuming it would be to aid in detention and reduce velocity of discharges. Bladen County is not a Phase II county and the facility is not located within an HQW or ORW watershed. The only possible post -construction requirement might be under the Water Supply rules as that portion of the Cape Fear has been recently reclassified as WS -IV due to the installation of a new intake near the Smithfield Packing facility in Tar Heel. According to revised maps, the WS watershed extends from the new intake upstream into Cumberland County and would cover the DuPont facility located near the Bladen/Cumberland County line. I don't know how much property is owned by DuPont, but if there is any installation of new BUA associated with the outfall rerouting project and it would put them over the 24% density threshold, then an engineered BMP would be required. The reclassification became effective on 1/1/09 and according to a document we have concerning the reclassification, local governments had 270 days after the effective date to develop or modify water supply protection ordinances to meet the state's minimum requirements.
