Director
On January 5, 2017, the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources
(DEMLR) received a letter dated January 4, 2017 from Ms. Karen Adams, Manager Environmental
Programs, requesting regulatory relief from monthly monitoring due to exceedances of the benchmark values
for copper and zinc at outfall 001. Please keep in mind that benchmark exceedances are NOT limit violations
or violations of permit conditions; however, you are obligated to follow the tiered response actions outlined in
your permit.
The letter states that monthly monitoring commenced in January 2016 per the Tier Two conditions of
General Permit NCG030000. The letter summarizes that stormwater samples were collected in April, May
and June from roof downspouts to determine if the higher zinc concentrations were from the metal roofs of.
the buildings. Also, that in -the interim period fabric filters were installed in the stormwater inlets to minimize
metals concentrations and a stormwater pond was installed to precipitate metals prior to any discharges.
According to the letter, the size of the pond'is such that stormwater discharge off the property will not occur
unless there is a significant rain event.
In a subsequent letter from Ms. Adams, dated January 6, 2017, the monitoring results from the stormwater
samples collected from the roof downspouts in April, May and June indicate that zinc concentrations were
significantly higher at the downspouts than stormwater discharge at outfall 001. Monitoring results for copper
concentrations indicate higher values at the outfall than the downspouts, however this could be attributed to
naturally occurring copper in the soil surrounding the facility unless the facility utilizes copper in the
manufacturing process. .
Based on the results of the additional sampling at the roof downspouts along with the installation of the
stormwater pond to reduce, if not eliminate, stormwater discharges from the property, we are granting
regulatory relief in the form of a collapsed Tier 2 - Tier 3 response. Upon receipt of this letter, CSX
Transportation, Inc. may resume the permit specified semi-annual analytical monitoring at the Hamtet .
Turnout Facility for the remainder of the current permit term. Your current permit is set to expire on October
31, 2017. This decision applies only to the copper and zinc benchmarks. A benchmark'exceedance of
any other parameter listed In your permit will trigger the tiered response actions as described in the
general permit.

DEO-FAYETTEVILLE REGIONAL OFFICE
The purpose of this letter is to inform you that CSX Transportation — Hamlet Yard
(CSXT'), Permit Number NCG030653, has redesigned the outfall to minimize discharges from
the yard. You may recall in late 2015 and into 2016, CSX Transportation — Hamlet Turnout yard
experienced problems meeting the benchmark permit limits and started the "Pier 3 process.
Monthly monitoring commenced in January 2016 due to results above the benchmark limits for
two consecutive monitoring periods.
Based on sampling results and industrial activity at the yard, we determined that the
higher zinc concentrations were from the metal roof. in April, May, and June samples were
collected from the roof downspouts. In the interim, fabric filters were installed in the stormwater
inlets and this minimized metals concentration. CSXT installed a pond to precipitate the metals
prior to discharge. Based on the size of the pond, we do not believe this yard will discharge
unless there is a significant rainfall event. i
CSXT respectfully requests that we resume semiannual sampling commencing in January
2017. CSXT will submit semiannual monitoring reports`in July and January. If there is a
discharge, samples will be collected semiannually.
The Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (S WPPP) will be revised once we hear from
you. If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me at (904) 359-

Subject: RE: CSXT Hamlet Turn Out Discussion
Alan,
Thank you for the summary and copy of the preliminary pond design.
Just to confirm, since the facility is covered under a general industrial stormwater permit (NCGo30000) and the site is
not located in an area that requires post -construction stormwater control measures to meet specific design parameters,
ai formal review and approval for the pond by our office is not required. However, if the land disturbance associated with
the installation of the pond will exceed one acre, then an erosion control plan will need to be submitted to our office for
review and approval prior to the work starting. Also, the detailed site map for the facility as required by the conditions
of the general industrial stormwater permit will need to be revised along with any descriptions or narratives regarding
stormwater management as contained in the facility's site -specific Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
As far as the preliminary design of the pond, I do have a few questions/concerns, which I've listed below.
-1 have concerns about the location of the existing sanitary sewer line, which would bisect the proposed pond and cross
the bypass ditch. Has the local utility department been made aware of this proposal? Are they OK with it?
Response: Yes the sanitary sewer line is owned by the Town of Hamlet. We have been in discussions with Ernie Billingsly
who handles the sanitary sewer collection system for the town, Mr. Billingsly indicated he did not see any issues with
the proposed pond construction.
Will there be procedures in place in the event there's a sewer overflow at one of the manholes or repair work is needed
on the sewer line?
Response: The basin has been designed to hold a 10 year storm. Given the rarity of these events, at any given time
there should be extra storage capacity in the pond, so if a sewer overflow would occur from one of the two manhole
covers, the basin would serve as a containment area.

Subject: CSXT Hamlet Turn Out Discussion
Mike,
Thank you again for talking with me yesterday regarding the Hamlet Turn Out Facility. As I had mentioned, CSX
Transportation is looking to add a pond on the south end of the facility to handle storm water. Also as discussed, I am
sending you (attached) the preliminary design of the pond layout.
Currently, storm water enters a ditch on the south end of the facility via one of two outfalls (Outfall #1 and #2). The
current plan is to initially create a new bypass ditch on the west side of the site to handle separately offsite storm
water. The pond would then be constructed to take water from Outfall #1 and 42. A future outfall would be installed
on the pond south end to tie into the new bypass ditch. Water would leave the site through the existing discharge
structure that passes beneath the track, which would remain unchanged.
From our discussion, I understand that since the facility operates under a general storm water permit there would be no
approval process from the DEQ to modify the existing permit and add the pond. We would need to modify the existing
SWPPP to include the pond and an erosion control plan will be needed for land disturbance of greater than 1 acre.
Can you take a look at the attached design and confirm from our discussion yesterday the NC DEQ would have no other
requirements that we would need to address prior to construction?
Thanks

RE: Notification of Permit Excursions and Corrective Actions

March 10, 2016
The purpose of this letter is to inform you that CSX Transportation, Permit Number
NCG030653, experienced problems meeting the benchmark permit limits and started the Tier 3
process. We implemented monthly monitoring beginning in December 2015 due to results above
the benchmark limits for two consecutive monitoring periods. The most recent monthly
analytical results from February 2016 include results above the benchmark limits for the fourth
consecutive month for total zinc. This triggered a Tier 3 response. A summary of analytical
results and corrective actions implemented to date are summarized below.
In June 2015, results for total copper (0.0268 mg/L), total lead (0.127 mg/L), total
suspended solids (167 mg/L), and total zinc (0.611 mg/L) were above the benchmark Iimits
indicated in the permit. CSXT began a review of facility operations to determine potential
sources and corrective actions. Sampling completed in November 2015 noted results above the
benchmark limits for total copper (0.0358 mg/L), total lead (0.181 mg/L), total suspended solids
(299 mg/L), and total zinc (0.171 mg/L) again. Sampling was not completed in December 2015
due to no discharge at the facility outfall.
During this time an investigation was initiated to determine what was contributing to the
high metals in the water sample. During the week of December 18, 2015 the following team was
on site: CSXT Environmental Field Services Manager, Environmental Field Services
Coordinator, and Environmental Engineer, as an environmental consultant from Arcadis. The
team walked through the process, identified potential sources, reviewed the drainage and inlet
structures, and inspected the surrounding area. This facility and drainage structures were built in
2014. After the investigation, the team developed a long term and short term solution.

For a short term CSXT installed outer ring of straw waddles, stone filter (washed stone),
and silt fence box. At the end of January 2016, implementation of corrective actions had been
completed. Analytical results from January 2016 for total copper (0.0203 mg/L) and total zinc
(0.0937 mg/L) were above benchmark limits; however, total lead and total suspended solids were
within benchmark limits.
In early February, filter media was installed inside the stormwater inlet. The most recent
analytical sampling from February 2016 noted that all parameters except for total zinc (0.611
mg/L) were within benchmark limits. 'Phis value is higher than it was in the past and we are
working with the laboratory to determine if there was an analytical or calculation error.

It appears that the corrective actions implemented were partially successful; however,
additional actions are required. Analytical results for the February 2016 sampling were received
on March 3, 2016 and we are currently developing additional corrective actions. The next steps
for short term solutions is to investigate whether different material should be used around the
stormwater inlets to reduce the sediment into the inlets. We will also collect a sample of the
rainwater from the gutter to determine if the building materials may be causing the high zinc
concentrations. Finally, we are investigating the viability of a long term solution including
building a pond for residence time before discharge.

The purpose of this letter is to inform you that CSX Transportation, Permit Number
NCG030653, experienced problems meeting the benchmark permit limits and started the Tier 3
process. We implemented monthly monitoring beginning in December 2015 due to results above
the benchmark limits for two consecutive monitoring periods. The most recent monthly
analytical results from February 2016 include results above the benchmark limits for the fourth
consecutive month for total zinc. This triggered a Tier 3 response. A summary of analytical
results and corrective actions implemented to date are summarized below.
In June 2015, results for total copper (0.0268 mg/L), total lead (0.127 mg/L), total
suspended solids (167 mg/L), and total zinc (0.611 mg/L) were above the benchmark limits
indicated in the permit. CSXT began a review of facility operations to determine potential
sources and corrective actions. Sampling completed in November 2015 noted results above the
benchmark limits for total copper (0.0358 mg/L), total lead (0.181 mg/L), total suspended solids
(299 mg/L), and total zinc (0.171 mg/L) again. Sampling was not completed in December 2015
due to no discharge at the facility outfall.
During this time an investigation was initiated to determine what was contributing to the
high metals in the water sample. During the week of December 18, 2015 the following team was
on site: CSXT Environmental Field Services Manager, Environmental Field Services
Coordinator, and Environmental Engineer, as an environmental consultant from Arcadis. The
team walked through the process, identified potential sources, reviewed the drainage and inlet
structures, and inspected the surrounding area. This facility and drainage structures were built in
2014. After the investigation, the team developed a long term and short term solution.

For a short term CSXT installed outer ring of straw waddles, stone filter (washed stone),
and silt fence box_ At the end of January 2016, implementation of corrective actions had been
completed. Analytical results from January 2016 for total copper (0.0203 mg/L) and total zinc
(0.0937 mg/L) were above benchmark limits; however, total lead and total suspended solids were
within benchmark limits.
In early February, filter media was installed inside the stormwater inlet. The most recent
analytical sampling from February 2016 noted that all parameters except for total zinc (0.611
mg/L) were within benchmark limits. This value is higher than it was in the past and we are
working with the laboratory to determine if there was an analytical or calculation error.
The following table summarizes the results:

It appears that the corrective actions implemented were partially successful; however,
additional actions are required. Analytical results for the February 2016 sampling were received
on March 3, 2016 and we are currently developing; additional corrective actions. The next steps
for short term solutions is to investigate whether different material should be used around the
stormwater inlets to reduce the sediment into the inlets. We will also collect a sample of the
rainwater from the gutter to determine if the building materials may be causing the high zinc
concentrations. Finally, we are investigating the viability of a long; term solution including
building a pond for residence time before discharge.

z For sampling periods with no discharge at any single outfall, you must still submit this discharge monitoring report with a checkmark here.
3 The total precipitation must be recorded using data from an on -site rain gauge. Unattended sites may be eligible for a waiver of the rain gauge requirement.
4 See General Permit, Table 3 identifying the especially sensitive receiving water classifications where the more protective benchmark applies.
5 Total Toxic Organics sampling is applicable only for those facilities which perform metal finishing operations, manufacture semiconductors, manufacture
electronic crystals, or manufacture cathode ray tubes. For purposes of this permit the definition of Total Toxic Organics is that definition contained in the EPA
Effluent Guidelines for the facility subject to the requirement to sample (for metal finishing use the definition as found in 40 CFR 433.11; for semiconductor
manufacture use the definition as found in 40 CFR 469,12; for electronic crystal manufacture use the definition as found in 40 CFR 469.22; and for cathode ray
tube manufacture use the definition found in 40 CFR 469.31),

Facilities that incorporate a solvent management plan into the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan may so certify, and the requirement for TTO monitoring
may be waived. The solvent management plan shall include a list of the total toxic organic compounds used and the other elements listed in the General
Permit. For those facilities electing to employ the TTO monitoring waiver, the discharger shall sign the following certification statement:
"Based upon my inquiry of the person or persons directly responsible for managing compliance with the permit monitoring requirement for total toxic organics
(TTO), I certify that to the best of my knowledge and belief, no dumping of concentrated toxic organics into the stormwater or areas which are exposed to rainfall or
stormwater runoff has occurred since filing the last discharge monitoring report. I further certify that this facility is implementing the all the provisions of the
solvent management plan included in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan."

REPRESENTATIVE OUTFALL STATUS (ROS)
REQUEST FORM
FOR AGENCY USG ONLY
Date Received
Year
Month
Da
If a facility is required to sample multiple discharge locations with very similar storm water discharges, the
permittee may petition the Director for Representative Outfol! Status (ROS). DWQ 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 analyticasampling requirements apply.
If Representative Outfoll Status is granted, ALL outfolls are still subject to the qualitative monitoring
requirements of the facility's permit —unless otherwise allowed by the permit (such as NCG020000) and DWQ
approval. The approval letter from DWQ must be kept on site with the facility's Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan. The facility must notify DWQ in writing if any changes affect representative status.
For questions, please contact the DWQ Regional Office for your area (seepage 3).

Representative Outfall Status Request
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.
Industrial activities that occur in Outfall 001 and Outfall 002 Drainage Areas include metal fabrication,
equipment maintenance and vehicle/equipment fueling.
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 DWQ 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.

Julie,
I actually visited this site on 8/12/14 for compliance with their approved erosion control plan. There are some minor
items they need to address (which they are working on) in order for us to close out the erosion control plan, but that
should not have an effect on issuance of a CDC. I spoke with Ms. Karen Adams, Manager Environmental Programs with
CSX, over the phone yesterday. She relayed that she and the onsite staff are well -versed in the conditions of the general
stormwater permit so I do not feel that another visit to the site to discuss the stormwater permit is necessary.
Therefore, the Fayetteville Regional Office has no objections to issuance of this CDC.
As far as their ROS request, based on the information they provided and my observations of the site on 8/12/14, it is
reasonable to approve their ROS request.
Thanks,
Mike

n�
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). DWQ may grant Representative
Outfail 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 NCGO20000) and DWQ
approval, The approval letter from DWQ must be kept on site with the facility's Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan. The facility must notify DWQ in writing if any changes affect representative status.
For questions, please contact the DWQ Regional Office for your area (see page 3).
