Cargill Incorporated
Cargill Incorporated, Fayetteville Plant, Certificate of Coverage NCG060047
Cumberland County
Dear Mr. Nagineni:
On October 23, 2019, a site inspection was conducted for the Cargill Incorporated Fayetteville Plant facility located at
1579 Underwood Road, Cumberland County, North Carolina. A copy of the Compliance Inspection Report is enclosed for
your review. Mr. Terry Crawford, EHS Coordinator, Mr. Scott Schuelke, Regional Safety Leader, Mr. Isaac Harms,
Refinery Superintendent and Ms. Toni Crawford, EHS Administrative Assistant were also present during the inspection
and their time and assistance is greatly appreciated. The site visit and file review revealed that the subject facility is
covered by NPDES Stormwater General Permit NCG060000 under Certificate of Coverage NCG060047. Permit coverage
authorizes the discharge of stormwater from the facility to receiving waters designated as Cape Fear River and Locks
Creek, Class C waters in the Cape Fear River Basin.
As a result of the inspection, the facility was found to be in compliance with the conditions of the NCG060000 permit.
Please refer to the enclosed Compliance Inspection Report for additional comments and observations made during the
inspection.
Please be advised that violations of the NPDES Stormwater General Permit are subject to a civil penalty
assessment of up to $25,000 per day for each violation. If you or your staff have any questions, comments, or needs
assistance with understanding any aspect of your permit, please contact me at (910) 433-3384 or by e-mail at

Inspection Summary:
Melissa Joyner and Mike Lawyer met with Mr. Terry Crawford, EHS Coordinator, Mr. Scott Schuelke, Regional Safety
Leader, Mr. Arun Nagineni, Crush Superintendent, Mr. Isaac Harms, Refinery Superintendent and Ms. Toni Crawford, EHS
Administrative Assistant at the Cargill facility. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) was reviewed and was
orderly, containing the information specified in General Permit NCG060000. The percentage of each drainage area which
was impervious was not shown on the site map. The updated site map was emailed to the Inspector shortly after the
inspection. The Analytical and Qualitative Monitoring records were reviewed. Previously, there had been exceedances of
benchmark values (for Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Total Suspended Solids (TSS)), with the facility initiating
monthly monitoring for Outfalls #3 and #5. In January, 2019, semi-annual monitoring was reinitiated for Outfall #3 and in
September, 2019, semi-annual monitoring was reinitiated for Outfall #5. Outfalls #2 and #6 are currently under Tier One for
exceedances of benchmark values for COD and TSS. The facility grounds and Outfalls #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6 and #7 were
inspected and appeared to be well -maintained. Outfall #4 used to discharge to a containment area. The discharge is no
longer occurring, therefore Outfall #4 no longer needs to be monitored. This information should be documented in the SPPP.
A Representative Outfall Status Request Form may be submitted to the Fayetteville Regional Office to possibly reduce the
number of outfalls where Analytical Monitoring occurs, where there are very similar stormwater discharges. If Representative
Outfall Status is granted, Qualitative Monitoring would still need to Continue for those outfalls.

Environmental REPRESENTATIVE OUTFALL STATUS (ROS)
Quality REOUEST FORM
FOR AGENCY USE ONLY
Dflte Received
Year
I Month
Day
If a facility is required to sample multiple discharge locations with very similar stormwater discharges, the
permittee may petition the Director for Representative Outfall Status (ROS). DEQ may grant Representative
Outfall Status if stormwater discharges from a single outfall are representative of discharges from multiple
outfalls. Approved ROS will reduce the number of outfalls where analytical sampling requirements apply.
If Representative Outfall Status is granted, ALL outfalls are still subject to the qualitative monitoring
requirements of the facility's permit —unless otherwise allowed by the permit (such as NCG020000) and DEQ
approval. The approval letter from DEQ must be kept on site with the facility's Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan. The facility must notify DEO in writing if any changes affect representative status.
For questions, please contact the DEQ Regional Office for your area (see page 3).

4) Detailed explanation about why the outfalls above should be granted Representative Status:
(Or, attach a letter or narrative to discuss this information.) For example, describe how activities and/or
materials are similar.
5) Certification:
North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6 B(i) provides that:
Any person who knowingly makes any false statement, representation, or certification in any application, record,
report, plan, or other document filed or required to be maintained under this Article or a rule implementing this
Article; or who knowingly makes a false statement of a material fact in a rulemaking proceeding or contested case
under this Article; or who falsifies, tampers with, or knowingly renders inaccurate any recording or monitoring device
or method required to be operated or maintained under this Article or rules of the [Environmental Management]
Commission implementing this Article shall be guilty of a Class 2 misdemeanor which may include a fine not to exceed
ten thousand dollars ($10,000).
I hereby request Representative Outfall Status for my NPDES Permit. I understand that ALL outfalls are still
subject to the qualitative monitoring requirements of the permit, unless otherwise allowed by the permit
and regional office approval. I must notify DEQ in writing if any changes to the facility or its operations
take place after ROS is granted that may affect this status. If ROS no longer applies, I understand I must
resume monitoring of all outfalls as specified in my NPDES permit.
I certify that I am familiar with the information contained in this application and that to the best of my
knowledge and belief such information is true, complete, and accurate.
