Section 1. Facility Activities and Process:
The US Army Military Ocean Terminal— Sunny Point(MOTSU) is a terminal of the Military Surface
Deployment and Distribution Command(SDDC) and one of the Department of Defense (DoD)
ammunition terminals specifically designed to handle containerized ammunition shipments. Cargo
arrives by rail or truck from ammunition depots and there is no manufacturing, assembling, or
warehousing on the installation. Staging of ammunition is limited to very short periods on board the
conveyance in which it is received. The majority of operations are conducted using containerized cargo,
container handlers and yard tractors, locomotives, and cranes. The Operational Wharves are considered
a water transportation facility area. Vessel loading and unloading operations occur at each operational
area of each wharf, and no vessel and drydock maintenance are conducted.
The buildings and/or facilities have activities that pose a potential pollutant source to storm water:
• Building 4 - Public Works and Contractor Offices and Staging Area
• Building 6 - Motor Pool Maintenance Shop
• Building 8 - Welding Shop and Covered Storage Area
• Building 9 - Maintenance Shop and Grounds Maintenance Shop
• Building 11 - Fueling Station
• Building 30 - Public Works and Maintenance Storage Facility
• Building 31 - Heavy Equipment Maintenance Shop
• Buildings 35 and 36 - Stevedore Maintenance Shop
• Building 37 - Hazardous Waste Storage
• Building 43 - Locomotive Maintenance Facility
• Building 50 - Locomotive Fueling Facility
• Contractor Staging Area (The Hill)
• Fire Stations land 2
• Lumber Yard
Page 1 of 7
• Reclaim Yard
Changes since the last permit renewal include:
• Construction of a canopy wash area(B43) that is enclosed and self-contained with an oil
filtration system; removes exposure to stormwater runoff.
• Construction of a covered heavy equipment wash rack area at Building 143 which facilitates
proper preventative maintenance and eliminates stormwater runoff. The drainage system passes
through an oil water separator before discharging into a sanitary sewer system.
• Per an email from December 2022, the facility at building 143 is no longer a wash rack or
maintenance location.
Outfall SW001:
Drainage area consists of three (3) wharves, vehicle and equipment maintenance areas,parking lots,
dumpsters. Potential pollutants include petroleum, oils, lubricants, antifreeze, solvents, trash, and excess
dirt.
Outfall SW002:
Drainage area consists of three (3) wharves, vehicle and equipment maintenance areas,parking lots,
dumpsters. Potential pollutants include petroleum, oils, lubricants, antifreeze, solvents, trash, and excess
dirt.
Outfall SW003:
Drainage area consists of input from three (3) separate discharge areas: SDO-1, SDO-2 and an area of
runoff from the adjacent roadway. SDO-3 was added as a sampling point to capture representative
stormwater discharge(s).
Why Industrial Sites with Stormwater are Subject to a Permit: Federal NPDES regulations define
stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity in 40 CFR §122.26 (b)(14) as: "the discharge
from any conveyance that is used for collecting and conveying storm water and that is directly related to
manufacturing,processing or raw materials storage areas at an industrial plant. The term does not
include discharges from facilities or activities excluded from the NPDES program under this part 122.
For the categories of industries identified in this section, the term includes, but is not limited to, storm
water [sic] discharges from industrial plant yards; immediate access roads and rail lines used or traveled
by carriers of raw materials, manufactured products, waste material, or byproducts used or created by
the facility; material handling sites; refuse sites; sites used for the application or disposal of process
waste waters (as defined at part 401 of this chapter); sites used for the storage and maintenance of
material handling equipment; sites used for residual treatment, storage, or disposal; shipping and
receiving areas; manufacturing buildings; storage areas (including tank farms) for raw materials, and
intermediate and final products; and areas where industrial activity has taken place in the past and
significant materials remain and are exposed to storm water. For the purposes of this paragraph, material
handling activities include storage, loading and unloading, transportation, or conveyance of any raw
material, intermediate product, final product, byproduct or waste product. The term excludes areas
located on plant lands separate from the plant's industrial activities, such as office buildings and
accompanying parking lots as long as the drainage from the excluded areas is not mixed with storm
water [sic] drained from the above described areas."

Section 2. Monitoring Information and Compliance History:
• January 2015 to July 2022, benchmarks exceeded for:
0 001: Lead 1 x, COD 1 x
0 002: Lead 1 x
o Cadmium was not measured down to benchmark value for any sample, so unable to
determine accurately if there are benchmark exceedances
• Per the March 2023 DEMLR inspection report, one (1) additional outfall was found outside of
the stevedore shop and at least three stormwater inlets discharge to a discrete ditch separate from
SD02. The regional office recommends this be claimed as SD03. The ditch behind Building 31
(boat maintenance building) needs to be stabilized (rock or matting and groundcover) and also
recommended moving the SDO1 sampling location downstream to catch sheet flow from
Building 31 area.
Threatened/Endangered Species:
There are a number of threatened and endangered species within 1 mile of the facility location. See the
attached report for a full list.
Section 3. Proposed Monitoring for Stormwater Discharges:
The Division considered potential pollutants from past and present industrial activities and data was
submitted for January 2015 to July 2022. Quantitative sampling included pH, TSS, O&G, cadmium,
lead, BOD, COD, and MBAS.
Parameters are based on potential pollutants in the drainage area, sampling results, and in some cases,
dependent upon future activities (e.g., ash removal through the drainage area). Below is a table of the
proposed monitoring for each outfall at the US Army Military Ocean Terminal— Sunny Point site.
Outfalls SW001, SW002, and SWO03
Quarterly monitoring
Total Suspended Solids BASIS: Potential pollutant from drainage area and BMP effectiveness

Stormwater Benchmarks and Tiered Response: Rather than limits,North Carolina NPDES
Stormwater permits contain benchmark concentrations. Stormwater benchmarks are numerical action
levels for stormwater monitoring. Benchmarks are not effluent limits, and benchmark exceedances are
not permit violations. Benchmarks provide facilities a tool for assessing the significance of pollutants in
stormwater discharges and the effectiveness of best management practices (BMPs). Benchmark
concentrations are intended as guidelines for the facility's development and implementation of the
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan(SWPPP).
Benchmark exceedances require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions,
increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater BMPs in a tiered program. The permit establishes a
tiered approach to specify actions the permittee must take in response to analytical results above
benchmark concentrations. The tiered structure of the permit provides the permittee and DEMLR wide
flexibility to address issues that may arise with one or more parameters and/or outfalls.
Metals benchmarks are calculated to mimic acute water quality standards and with the guidance of
DWR. NC DWR follows established federal procedures for calculating acute standards when developing
the benchmarks. Just like the acute standards, metals benchmarks normally reflect one half of the
calculated Final Acute Value (the "1/2 FAV"). In most cases, translation into total recoverable values is
based on an assumed hardness of 25 mg/L and a total suspended solids (TSS) concentration of 10 mg/L.
Acute standards protect aquatic life from negative impacts of short-term exposure to higher levels of
chemicals where the discharge enters a waterbody. The Stormwater Permitting Program applies this
approach because of the ephemeral nature of rainfall events.
The Division may evaluate results to determine if a smaller suite of parameters for some outfalls is
adequate to characterize potential pollution or BMP effectiveness. For example, one or more metals or
other parameters may serve as an adequate tracer for the presence of ash pollution during disturbance or
ash removal in specific drainage areas at this site. For parameters that do not have a stormwater
benchmark, the Division may develop a benchmark value if appropriate toxicity data become available
or if rising trends in concentrations suggest a persistent source.
Page 4 of 7
A summary of the benchmarks in the draft permit, and their basis, is below:
Parameter Benchmark Basis
Total Suspended 50 mg/L Based on 1/2 standard benchmark of 100 mg/L (HQW waters)
Solids TSS
H 6.8 s.u. — 8.5 s.u. NC Water Quality Standard(Range)
Non-Polar Oil & Review of other state's daily maximum benchmark
Grease 15 mg/L concentration for this more targeted O&G;NC WQS that
EPA Method 1664 does not allow oil sheen in waters
SGT-HEM
BOD 30 mg/L BPJ; Based on Secondary Treatment Regulation(40 CFR
133.03
COD 120 mg/L BPJ; Generally found at levels 4x BOD5 in domestic
wastewaters
Methylene Blue NC Water Quality Standard 15A NCAC 02B .0212 - .0218
Active Substances 0.5 mg/L for Water Supply Systems
MBAS
Cadmium Total 40 /L Acute Aquatic Criterion, 1/2 FAV
Lead Total 220 µg/L Acute Aquatic Criterion, 1/2 FAV
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan: The proposed permit conditions reflect the EPA and NC's
pollution prevention approach to stormwater permitting. The Division's maintains that implementation
of Best Management Practices (BMPs) and traditional stormwater management practices that control the
source of pollutants meets the definition of Best Available Technology (BAT) and Best Conventional
Pollutant Control Technology(BCT). The permit conditions are not numeric effluent limitations but are
designed to be flexible requirements for implementing site-specific plans to minimize and control
pollutants in stormwater discharges associated with the industrial activity. Title 40 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) §122.44(k)(2) authorizes the use of BMPs in lieu of numeric effluent limitations in
NPDES permits when the agency finds numeric effluent limitations to be infeasible. The agency may
also impose BMP requirements which are "reasonably necessary" to carry out the purposes of the Act
under the authority of 40 CFR 122.44(k)(3). The conditions proposed in this draft permit are included
under the authority of both of these regulatory provisions. In essence, the pollution prevention and BMP
requirements operate as limitations on effluent discharges that reflect the application of BAT/BCT.
Flexibility in Tier Responses: Tier Two actions provide an opportunity for the permittee to propose an
alternative monitoring plan for approval by the Region:
• Alternatively, in lieu of steps 2 and 3, the permittee may, after two consecutive exceedances,
exercise the option of contacting the DEMLR Regional Engineer as provided below in Tier
Three. The Regional Engineer may direct the response actions on the part of the permittee as
provided in Tier Three, including reduced or additional sampling parameters or frequency.
• If pursuing the alternative above after two consecutive exceedances, the permittee may propose
an alternative monitoring plan for approval by the Regional Engineer.
The permit therefore allows the permittee to petition the Regional Office for monitoring changes sooner
than Tier Three (upon any four benchmark exceedances) and gives guidance on one option to take. For
example, the permittee may request that mercury only be monitored semi-annually under the tiers, or
that only parameters over the benchmark be monitored more frequently. In this way, changes to the
monitoring scheme for any outfall could be handled outside of a permit modification.
Page 5 of 7
Other Proposed Requirements:
• It is standard for Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan(SWPPP)requirements to include an
annual certification that stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-
stormwater discharges, and if any are identified, how those discharges are permitted or otherwise
authorized.
• Requirement to submit a request for permit modification if the facility identifies or creates any
new outfalls, removes outfalls, or alters any drainage area that changes potential pollutants.
• The Division expects the permittee to apply best professional judgment and consider the safety
of its personnel in fulfilling sampling obligations under the permit.
• Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs). If a
state does not establish a system to receive such submittals, then permittees must submit DMRs
electronically to the EPA.
• Quarterly QualitativeNisual Monitoring to assure regular observation of outfalls throughout
year.
Section 4. Changes from previous permit to draft:
• Monitoring increased from semi-annually to quarterly for all parameters (qualitative and
quantitative)
• Units changed from mg/L to µg/L
• "No discharge" clarifications made
• eDMR requirement added
• Feasibility study requirement removed per updated stormwater program requirements
• Boilerplate language moved into body of the permit; boilerplate no longer attached
• Outfall SWO03 added per information provided during permit renewal
• Monitoring for total hardness added for all outfalls as monitoring for hardness dependent metals
is required
• Benchmarks updated for parameters per guidance from DWR Standards group on stormwater
benchmarks
Section 5. Changes from draft to final:
• Reference to storage pads ahs been removed from outfalls SW001 and SWO02 as the permittee
stated the hardstands associated with the wharves are designed to sheet flow
Section 6. Discussions with the Facility and Regional Office:
• Initial contact with facility: 11/18/2022
• Initial contact with Regional Office: 11/18/2022
• Draft sent to CO peer review: N/A
• Draft sent to Regional Office: 4/19/2023
• Final permit sent for supervisor signature: 6/15/2023
Section 7. Comments received on draft permit:
Page 6 of 7
• AJ Rogers (MOTSU; via email 4/27/2023): The owner should be Malcolm E. Charles. The CO
changes every 2 years and it was determined that the Director of Public Works would be the
owner. Outfalls SW001 and SW002 do not contain wharves and storage pads.
o DEMLR response: The Division does not have documentation of a change in the legally
responsible official. Please resubmit the forms to process this request. You indicated
SW001 and SW002 do not contain the wharves or storage pads and that the operational
wharves are considered a water transportation facility area. Can you please explain
further how/why these items are not part of industrial activity in the outfall areas?
o AJ Rogers (MOTSU; via email 5/30/2023): The majority of operations are conducted
using containerized cargo, container handlers and yard tractors, and cranes. The
Operational area at each Wharf contains limited potential for industrial activity with the
potential for stormwater pollutants. Vessel loading and unloading operations can include
equipment leaks, which are the responsibility of the vessel owner and refueling wharf
cranes (center wharf only). The cranes use a mobile re-fueler. No vessel and drydock
maintenance are conducted at the wharves. Spill plans/kits are in place for the
aforementioned potentials. The forklifts used downrange are battery operated. The
hardstands associated with the wharves do not have drop inlets or catch basins and are
designed to sheet flow to a vegetative buffer or drainage conveyance. My understanding
is a team from Raleigh visited some years ago and determined no real impact due to the
cargo being containerized and the vessel operations were less than 20 per year. I am
looking for some sort of documentation, if any exists.
o DEMLR response: The reference to the storage pads will be removed from outfalls
SW00I and SW002. The reference to the wharfs will remain as there is still industrial
activity occurring in the area and reference to the wharfs does not affect the monitoring
required(monitoring would remain the same if the wharfs were mentioned or not).

2022 in the file MOTSU? The gentleman who did all the footwork to get this stuff signed has left and did

Dear Permittee:
The Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources (DEMLR) Stormwater Permitting
Program acknowledges receipt of your renewal application for coverage under NPDES Permit
NCS000208 on May 19, 2019. Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit
for your facility. Please review the draft carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the
conditions and requirements it contains.
The draft permit contains the following significant changes from the current permit:
1. Monitoring increased from semi-annually to quarterly for all parameters (qualitative and
quantitative).
2. Units of measure for several benchmarks have been changed from mg/L to µg/L.
3. "No discharge" clarifications were made.
4. eDMR reporting requirement was added.
5. Boilerplate language has been moved into the body of the permit. There is no longer a
boilerplate attachment to the permit.
6. Feasibility study has been removed from Part B.
7. Outfall SWO03 has been added to the permit per information provided during the renewal
process.
8. Total hardness monitoring added for all outfalls that also require monitoring for hardness
dependent metals.
9. Changes have been made to monitoring parameters. Stormwater benchmarks are not
permit limits, but rather guidelines for implementing the Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plan(SWPPP). A benchmark exceedance is not a permit violation; however, the permittee
must respond to exceedances as directed in the Tiers.

Permit NCS000208
PART C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING OF STORMWATER DISCHARGES
The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to implement a quick and inexpensive way to evaluate the
effectiveness of the permittee's SWPPP, to identify the potential for new sources of stormwater
pollution, and to prompt the permittee's response to pollution.
C-1. Visual Inspections
(a) Visual inspections shall be made at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO)that discharges
stormwater associated with industrial activity unless representative outfall status specifically for
visual monitoring has been approved in writing by the Division.
(b) Visual inspections shall be performed concurrent with required analytical monitoring on a
quarterly basis. Note: These monitoring requirements will increase to a monthly basis when
responding to Tier Two status.
(c) Visual inspections are not required to be performed outside of the facility's normal operating
hours.
(d) Visual inspections shall be recorded on the Division's Stormwater Discharge Outfall Qualitative
Monitoring Report(QMR) form and shall include observations of:
i. Color;
ii. Odor;
iii. Clarity;
iv. Floating Solids;
V. Suspended Solids;
vi. Foam;
vii. Oil Sheen;
viii. Deposition at or immediately below the outfall;
ix. Erosion at or immediately below the outfall; and
X. Other obvious indicators of stormwater pollution.
(e) Inability to perform inspections because of adverse weather or lack of discharge during the
monitoring period shall not constitute a failure to monitor if the event is documented in the
SWPPP and recorded on the Qualitative Monitoring Report.
C-2. Oualitative Monitoring Response
(a) If the permittee's qualitative monitoring indicates that the SWPPP and/or existing stormwater
BMPs are ineffective, or that significant stormwater contamination is present, then the permittee
shall investigate potential causes, evaluate the feasibility of corrective actions, and implement
those feasible corrective actions within sixty(60) days.
(b) A written record of the permittee's investigation, evaluation, and response actions shall be kept in
the SWPPP.
Page 11 of 35
Permit NCS000208
PART D: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
This part applies to industrial stormwater discharges of stormwater-only flows from drainage areas
where industrial activities are performed.
D-1. Required Baseline Sampling
The permittee shall perform baseline sampling of all stormwater discharge outfalls
and/or authorized representative discharge outfalls in accordance with this part.
(a) Grab samples shall be collected, analyzed, and reported for all the parameters listed in Table 1
below, except for Total Rainfall which shall be monitored using a rain gauge.
(b) In addition to the grab samples, the average monthly usage of new motor and hydraulic oil for the
facility shall be tracked, recorded, and reported to the Division if it exceeds an average of 55
gallons per month.
(c) The total rainfall amount for each sampling event shall be recorded in inches. Total rainfall shall
be determined from an on-site rain gauge or a regional rain gauge located within one (1) mile of
the facility.
(d) Samples shall be collected from four separate monitoring periods per year, unless the facility is in
Tier Two or Tier Three status. A minimum of thirty (30) days must separate any two sampling
events during the following periods:
i. Period 1: January 1 —March 31
ii. Period 2: April 1 —June 30
iii. Period 3: July 1 — September 30
iv. Period 4: October 1 —December 31
(e) If the facility was in Tier Two or Tier Three status under the previous permit, the facility shall
continue monthly monitoring and reporting requirements until relieved by the provisions of this
permit or the Division.
D-2. Baseline Sampling Benchmarks
(a) Analytical results for each parameter shall be compared to the benchmark values for the
appropriate receiving stream classification as provided in Table 1. An exceedance of a benchmark
value is not a permit violation; however, failure to respond in accordance with part D-2 b of this
permit is a permit violation.
(b) An exceedance of any benchmark value in Table 1 shall require a tiered response for that
parameter. A single exceedance of a benchmark value shall require a Tier One response for that
parameter. Two benchmark value exceedances in a row shall require a Tier Two response for that
parameter. Four benchmark exceedances for a parameter within a five (5) year period shall
require a Tier Three response for that parameter.
(c) Baseline sampling benchmarks shall be in accordance with Table I below.

Footnotes:
1. Measurement frequency: Quarterly during a measurable storm event. If the facility is monitoring monthly
due to Tier Two or Tier Three response actions,the facility shall continue a monthly monitoring and
reporting schedule in Tier Two or Tier Three status until relief is granted.
2. If pH values outside this range are recorded in sampled stormwater discharges,but ambient precipitation
pH levels are lower,then the lower threshold of this benchmark range is the pH of the precipitation
(within instrument accuracy)instead of 6 s.u.. Readings from an on-site or local rain gauge(or local
precipitation data)must be documented to demonstrate background concentrations were below the
benchmark pH range.
3. For each sampled measurable storm event,the total precipitation must be recorded. An on-site rain gauge
is required. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain gauge reading
may be substitute for an on-site reading.
4. Hardness sampling should be performed in conjunction with testing for hardness dependent metals
(cadmium and lead).
• Outfall SW001: Drainage area consists of three (3) wharves, storage pads, vehicle and equipment
maintenance areas, parking lots, dumpsters.
Page 13 of 35

Should the permittee identify or create any new stormwater outfalls, remove any stormwater outfalls
identified in this permit, or alter any drainage areas that change the potential pollutants in runoff
discharged through corresponding outfalls, the permittee will submit a request to NC DEMLR to modify
this permit. For any newly discovered pipes or outfalls, the permittee must evaluate the structure and
provide a report of the status and planned actions to NC DEQ within 14 days. The permittee must either
(1)request modification of this permit and modify the S WPPP accordingly, or(2) eliminate potential
discharges by removal, plugging, or combination of both.
D-3. Methodology for Collecting Samples
(a) Outfall monitoring efforts shall begin with the first measurable storm event that occurs during the
facility's normal operating hours and begins at least 72 hours after the previous measurable storm
event.
(b) Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. If physical separation
between outfalls prevents collecting samples from all outfalls within the first 30 minutes of
discharge, then the permittee may continue collecting samples until all outfalls that are
discharging have been sampled.
(c) Outfalls that are not discharging during or after the first measurable storm event shall be sampled
during the next measurable storm event, until a sample has been collected from every outfall.
(d) If, during an entire monitoring period, there is no discharge from an outfall during any measurable
storm event that occurs during the facility's normal operating hours and begins at least 72 hours
after the previous measurable storm event, then the permittee shall report "No Discharge"in the
DMR and shall record"No Discharge" in the SWPPP. In this case, the DMR shall be submitted
within 30 days after the end of the monitoring period. Lack of a discharge from an outfall for the
monitoring period shall not constitute failure to monitor as long as this condition is met.
(e) Sampling is not required to be performed outside of the facility's normal operating hours or
during adverse weather conditions.
(f) Samples collected shall be characteristic of the volume and nature of the permitted discharge.
(g) If the sampled storm event coincides with a known non-stormwater discharge that is deemed
permitted under 15A NCAC 02H .0106, then this shall be noted on the stormwater discharge
monitoring report.
D-4. Locations for Collecting Samples
Samples shall be collected at all stormwater discharge outfalls (SDOs)that discharge stormwater
associated with industrial activity. If the Division has issued a representative outfall status (ROS)
approval letter, then the permittee shall collect samples from all SDOs in accordance with the ROS
approval letter.
(a) All samples shall be taken before the discharge joins or is diluted by any other waste stream, body
of water, or substance.

The outfall(s)will remain in Tier One status until three consecutive samples are under the benchmark or
are inside the benchmark range for all parameters.
(a) If any sampling result is above the benchmark value for any parameter at any outfall, then the
permittee shall respond in accordance with Table 2 to identify and address the source of that
exceedance for the parameter(s).
(b) Each required response shall be documented in the SWPPP as each action occurs including: the
date and value of the benchmark exceedance, the date the Division's Wilmington Regional Office
was notified of the exceedance, the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the
selected feasible actions, and the date the selected feasible actions were completed.
(c) Each exceedance of a benchmark parameter shall individually require a Tier One response.
(d) The Tier One response shall be in accordance with Table 2 below:

Brian,
Thank you for taking the time to visit and walk the site with Angie and myself last week. We will revise the description of
industrial activity occurring onsite to include the additional SDO-3, move the sampling for
SDO-1 further downstream to capture a more representative sample of the stormwater discharge,work with base
maintenance to address the stabilization/vegetation issue at SDO-1, and have signs made for each SDO location.
//BREAK//
Brianna,
What does MOTSU need to provide to you in order to have the re-issued NPDES SW permit include the new SDO-3 and
the quarterly sampling implemented? I located the 2019 renewal permit that David Von Kolnitz submitted previously, but
do not have anything more recent to put my hands on. I'm working on the Admin SW map showing the SDOs
w/coordinates, and the description of industrial activity occurring onsite that was initially submitted with the permit
renewal package.
Please let us know whatever you may need so that we can get it to you ASAP.
TY!!

RE: Info Request ID: 258
Dear Brianna Young:
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide
information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
A query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are records for rare species, important natural
communities, natural areas, and/or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project
boundary. These results are presented in the attached 'Documented Occurrences' tables and map.
The attached 'Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that
have been documented within a one-mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these
records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area
if suitable habitat exists. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one-mile
radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report.
If a Federally-listed species is documented within the project area or indicated within a one-mile
radius of the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) for guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here:
https://www.fws.gov/offices/Di rectory_/ListOffices.cfm?statecode=37.
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation
planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria
for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published
without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information
source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP data may not be redistributed without permission.

Adrienne,
As the draft permit has not yet gone out for public comment, no modification
or re-noticing will be needed. In order to add the new outfall to the draft
permit, please provide the following information:
1. Updated coordinates for all outfalls.
2. Updated site map showing all outfall locations and associated drainage
areas.
3. Description of the industrial activity occurring in each outfall area.
Based on your email, I understand you are already working on several of
these items. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Brian,
Thank you for taking the time to visit and walk the site with Angie and
myself last week. We will revise the description of industrial activity
occurring onsite to include the additional SDO-3, move the sampling for
SDO-1 further downstream to capture a more representative sample of the
stormwater discharge,work with base maintenance to address the
stabilization/vegetation issue at SDO-1, and have signs made for each SDO
location.
//BREAK//
Brianna,
What does MOTSU need to provide to you in order to have the re-issued NPDES
SW permit include the new SDO-3 and the quarterly sampling implemented? I
located the 2019 renewal permit that David Von Kolnitz submitted previously,
but do not have anything more recent to put my hands on. I'm working on the
2
Admin SW map showing the SDOs w/coordinates, and the description of
industrial activity occurring onsite that was initially submitted with the
permit renewal package.
Please let us know whatever you may need so that we can get it to you ASAP.
TYI!

Thank you for meeting with me yesterday. Please find the attached inspection
report. Please revise the application by adding SDO3 as discussed. You may
also change the SDO1 location on the outfall sheet. I suspect you can amend
that one page. After that is taken care of, I recommend issuing the permit.

Description of industrial activity occurring onsite;
As a major terminal of the Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command
(SDDC), Military Ocean Terminal Sunny Point (MOTSU) is one of the Department of
Defense (DoD) ammunition terminals specifically designed to handle containerized
ammunition shipments. MOTSU is the principle out load point for Army/Air Force
ammunition in support of DoD. The cargo, moved through MOTSU, arrives by rail or
truck from ammunition depots throughout the US. There is no manufacturing,
assembling, or warehousing ammunition facilities on the installation. Staging of
ammunition is limited to very short periods on board the conveyance in which it is
received.
MOTSU's mission is to plan, coordinate, and accomplish movement of ammunition and
other dangerous cargo through MOTSU to support the DoD. MOTSU employs
approximately seven (7) active Army personnel and 270 civilian workers, full time. Both
the Public Works Maintenance Contractor (PWMC) and Stevedoring services are
contracted to private companies. Stevedoring operations utilize International
Longshoremen Association workers to perform port operations and can increase onsite
workers temporarily.
MOTSU is located in Brunswick County, northwest of the City of Southport. The
Installation is situated along both sides of the Cape Fear River. It encompasses
approximately 11,500 acres. The Main Terminal consists of 8,645 acres and is located
along the west bank of the Cape Fear River. The Main Terminal consists of three (3)
wharves, numerous storage pads, and the administration area. The administration area
contains one (1) location for industrial activity with the potential for stormwater
pollutants. The activity consists of an equipment maintenance area (Motor Pool).
Vehicle maintenance is conducted at this location and potential pollutants would consist
of petroleum, oils and lubricants (POLs), antifreeze, trash, and general excess dirt.
Locomotive maintenance is within the Administrative Area but is conducted within
Building 43. Exposure to stormwater is not expected in this area. Potential stormwater
pollutants are not expected within the operational area of MOTSU. The remainder of
MOTSU is located near Leland, Brunswick County, NC (642 acres) and on the east side
of the Cape Fear River in New Hanover County, NC (2,237 acres).
The operational area at each wharf sees limited industrial activity with the potential for
producing stormwater contaminants. Vessel loading and unloading operations strictly
occur at the wharves with no vessel and drydock maintenance conducted at these
locations.
The installation ultimately discharges all stormwater into the Cape Fear River Basin into
section 18-(71)b, classification SC. This section is listed in the state's 303(d) impaired
waters. The installation industrial activity, within the administration area, discharges
stormwater into the headwaters of Nigis Creek (section 18-88-1-2). Nigis Creek drains
into Walden Creek and finally into the Cape Fear River. Neither Nigis Creek nor Walden
Creek are listed in the state's 303(d) list of impaired waters.
Confirmation on the number of outfalls and associated coordinates:
MOTSU has two (2) existing stormwater discharge outfalls (SDO) associated with this
permit and is adding SDO-3, which was identified during a recent site visit by a North
Carolina Department of Environmental Quality representative. Attached is a map
showing existing SDO-1 and SDO-2, and new SDO-3 with coordinates.
Description of industrial activity in each drainage area:
Work associated with the Installation produces few direct contaminants to stormwater
runoff. The main contaminants are from the maintenance and repair of motorized
vehicles, conducted within the Motor Pool and Stevedore equipment maintenance
areas. No manufacturing facilities are located on the Installation. The majority of
operations are conducted using containerized cargo, container handlers and yard
tractors, locomotives, and cranes.
The Motor Pool, located within the Administrative Area, consists of eight (8) buildings.
All vehicle maintenance is conducted within this area. Over 100 forklifts, both electric
and petroleum (gasoline or diesel) powered, are used on the installation. Approximately
70 motorized vehicles are used and maintained. SDO-1 and SDO-2 are associated with
this area. Each building within the motor pool uses POLs, antifreeze, and solvents. The
materials used are stored within each building either in flammable lockers (with
secondary containment) or on secondary containment pallets. No material is allowed to
be stored outside as avoidance and minimization practices to prevent direct contact with
precipitation events that could result in contaminated stormwater runoff. Recent
renovations to these buildings have allowed for most maintenance to be conducted
indoors. If maintenance is required to be conducted outside of a building, procedures to
block adjacent stormwater col lectiondrains are required and implemented. Closed-lid
dumpsters containing trash are located within the motor pools parking lots.
The Stevedore shop (Bldg. 36), located behind Motor Pool, is associated with SDO-2
and new SDO-3. Minor equipment maintenance is conducted as needed at this facility.
BMPs are in place to restrict any discharges from surface flows into the ditch line.
SDO-3 receives input from three (3) separate discharge areas, SDO-1, SDO-2 and an
area of runoff from the adjacent roadway. SDO-3 was added as a sampling point to
capture representative stormwater discharge(s).
The operational wharves are considered a water transportation facility area.

An electronic spreadsheet summarizing all of the monitoring data that has been
collected since the effective date of the current permit:
Attached excel spreadsheet. NCS000208_2019_2022_sample_results.xls
Verification that the information in the renewal application is still complete and
correct; and an explanation of any operational changes since the renewal
application was submitted.
All contact information has been updated according to your email to AJ Rogers dated
11/18/2022. The Permit Owner Affiliation Designation Form and Stormwater Permit
Delegation of Signature Authority Form have been submitted. All information submitted
in the initial renewal package is correct except that the facility at Building 143 is no
longer a wash rack or maintenance location (submitted as a significant change).

Inspection Date: 03/23/2023 Inspection Type:Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
Met with Adrienne Rogers and Michelle Shipp-Pennock to review the implementation of the industrial stormwater permit and
the associated reqirements. THe site is well maintained with excellent housekeeping.
THe SPPP meets all requirements. Revised in 2022. Certified in 2023. Employee training yearly. Facility inspections
semiannually. Inventory of significant materials. Includes SPCC. Spill response recorded by fire department.
Monitoring has been conducted according to permit requiremnts. Analytical sampling has not exceeded the benchmark
values . Qualitative monitoring is done in accordance to the permit conditions and did not reveal any issues.
The site inspeciton did not find any outstanding issues with the facility and the application of the SPPP to the site.
One additional outfall was found outside of the stevedore shop. There were at least three stormwater inlets outleting to a
discrete ditch separate from SDO2. This outfall will need to be claimed as SDO3.
The ditch behind Building 31, the boat maintenance building, needs to be stabilized. Some rock stabilization is in place,
additional is needed, or provide matting and groundcover.
SDO1 is behind building 31 at the pipe outlet. Suggest moving the sampling location downstream to catch sheetflow from
building 31 area.

Description of industrial activity occurring onsite;
As a major terminal of the Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command(SDDC),
MOTSU is one of the Department of Defense (DoD) ammunition terminals specifically designed
to handle containerized ammunition shipments. MOTSU is the principle out load point for
Army/Air Force ammunition in support of DoD. The cargo, moved through MOTSU, arrives by
rail or truck from ammunition depots throughout the US. There is no manufacturing, assembling,
or warehousing ammunition facilities on the installation. Staging of ammunition is limited to
very short periods on board the conveyance in which it is received.
MOTSU's mission is to plan, coordinate, and accomplish movement of ammunition and other
dangerous cargo through MOTSU to support the DoD. MOTSU employs approximately seven
(7) active Army personnel and 270 civilian workers, full time. Both the Public Works
Maintenance Contractor(PWMC) and Stevedoring services are contracted to private companies.
Stevedoring operations utilize International Longshoremen Association workers to perform port
operations and can increase onsite workers temporarily.
MOTSU is located in Brunswick County, northwest of the City of Southport. The Installation is
situated along both sides of the Cape Fear River. It encompasses approximately11,500 acres.
The Main Terminal consists of 8,645 acres and is located along the west bank of the Cape Fear
River. The Main Terminal consists of three (3) wharves, numerous storage pads, and the
administration area. The administration area contains one (1) location for industrial activity with
the potential for stormwater pollutants. The activity consists of an equipment maintenance area
(Motor Pool). Vehicle maintenance is conducted at this location and potential pollutants would
consist of petroleum, oils and lubricants (POLs), antifreeze, trash, and general excess dirt.
Locomotive maintenance is within the Administrative Area but is conducted within Building 43.
Exposure to stormwater is not expected in this area. Potential stormwater pollutants are not
expected within the operational area of MOTSU. The remainder of MOTSU is located near
Leland, Brunswick County,NC (642 acres) and on the east side of the Cape Fear River in New
Hanover County,NC (2,237 acres).
The Operational area at each Wharf contains limited potential for industrial activity with the
potential for stormwater pollutants. Vessel loading and unloading operations occur at these
locations. No vessel and drydock maintenance are conducted at these locations.
The installation ultimately discharges all stormwater into the Cape Fear River Basin into section
18-(71)b, classification SC. This section is listed in the state's 303(d) impaired waters. The
installation industrial activity, within the administration area, discharges stormwater into the
headwaters of Nigis Creek(section 18-88-1-2). Nigis Creek drains into Walden Creek and finally
into the Cape Fear River. Neither Nigis Creek nor Walden Creek are listed in the state's 303(d)
list of impaired waters.
Confirmation on the number of outfalls and associated coordinates:
MOTSU has two outfalls associated with this permit. Attached is a map showing outfalls (1.
SWPPP adm area map) with coordinates. Also, provided to Ms. Georgoulias through email.
Description of industrial activity in each drainage area;
Work associated at the Installation produces few direct contaminants to stormwater runoff. The
main contaminants are from the maintenance and repair of motorized vehicles, conducted within
the Motor Pool and Stevedore equipment maintenance area. No manufacturing facilities are
located on the Installation. The majority of operations are conducted using containerized cargo,
container handlers and yard tractors, locomotives, and cranes.
The Motor Pool, located within the Administrative Area, consists of eight(8)buildings.All
vehicle maintenance is conducted within this area. Over 100 forklifts,both electric and
petroleum(gasoline or diesel)powered, are used on the installation.Approximately 70 motorized
vehicles are used and maintained. The two (2) stormwater discharge outfalls (SDOs) are
associated with this area. Each building within the motor pool uses POLs, antifreeze, and
solvents. The materials used are stored within each building either in flammable lockers (with
secondary containment) or on secondary containment pallets. No material is allowed to be stored
outside with potential contact to stormwater. Recent renovations to these buildings have allowed
for most maintenance to be conducted indoors. If maintenance is required to be conducted
outside of a building, procedures to block adjacent stormwater drains are required and
implemented. Closed-lid dumpsters containing trash are located within the motor pools parking
lots.
The Operational Wharves are considered a water transportation facility area.

All contact information has been updated according to your email to AJ Rogers 11/18/2022. The
Permit Owner Affiliation Designation Form and Stormwater Permit Delegation of Signature
Authority Form will be submitted early next week once signatures are obtained from all parties.
All information submitted in the initial renewal package is correct except that the facility at
building 143 is no longer a wash rack or maintenance location (submitted as a significant
change).

Good morning AJ,
I apologize for the delay in responding. I was out of the office last week
for the holiday and wanted to verify with other staff before getting back to
you. Wash water cannot be covered under a stormwater permit as that is
considered wastewater. If you proceed with washing containers onsite,you
will need to find a way to route the wastewater to a sanitary sewer, secure
a pump and haul permit, or find another means of wastewater disposal. Please
let me know if you have any other questions.

Ms. Georgoulias, attached is a map showing the two outfall for MOTSU stormwater permit NCS000208. All other
outfalls initially on the permit have been removed due to changes at the facility removing potential exposure of
stormwater. I am forwarding you this information per request from Ms. Young to update and confirm information

Ms. Georgoulias, attached is a map showing the two outfall for MOTSU stormwater permit NCS000208. All other
outfalls initially on the permit have been removed due to changes at the facility removing potential exposure of
stormwater. I am forwarding you this information per request from Ms. Young to update and confirm information
(initial email request 11/18/2022).

Good morning,
The Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources (DEMLR) Stormwater Permitting Program
acknowledges receipt of your renewal application for coverage under NPDES Permit Number NCS000208.
Please continue to comply with all conditions and monitoring requirements in your current NPDES stormwater

permit. As long as you have submitted a complete renewal request package and maintain compliance with those
permit conditions, stormwater discharges from this facility are authorized by that permit until the Division
issues a renewal permit or notifies you of an alternative action.
I am working on renewing the individual stormwater permit for the Military Ocean Terminal—Sunny Point
(NCS000208). I need additional information in order to 1) confirm that the information I have is correct and 2)
make sure the permit adequately serves the needs of the facility. Please provide the following:
• Description of industrial activity occurring onsite;
• Confirmation on the number of outfalls and associated coordinates;
• Description of industrial activity in each drainage area;
• SIC (NAICS) code;
• An electronic spreadsheet summarizing all of the monitoring data that has been collected since the
effective date of the current permit;
• Verification that the information in the renewal application is still complete and correct; and
• An explanation of any operational changes since the renewal application was submitted.

Subject: RE: [External] RE: Military Ocean Terminal - Sunny Point stormwater permit NCS000208
Good morning Brianna,
I hope this finds you well. As we gather our information and revise our permit contacts I would like to request some
input from you on container washing at the wharves. I'm unsure if this has ever been addressed.
Container Washing.
Our current NPDES permit does not cover container washing (mainly soil/dirt) at the wharves over open waters. In a
normal calendar year, we wash approximately 20 containers off. The wharves are fitted with scupper holes and the
runoff is diluted prior to discharge. At this time,we do not have an available wash rack for the containers,which are not
easily transportable. We are using a fire hose hooked up to a fire hydrant to conduct the washing. If they can't be
washed immediately, CBP Agriculture allows us to move them to a pad and held until we wash them, could be the next
day or in some cases the next week.
This industrial practice has me questioning if we should incorporate it into our NPDES permit, and if so, what needs to be
done for compliance purposes. We have a closed-loop wash rack funded for FY25 to be built that will handle containers,
vehicles, etc. going forward. A short-term solution is needed for the interim. Our revised SWPPP also speaks of potential
industrial activity that may need to be taken into account with respect to the washing of containers.
MOTSU has a synthetic minor air permit for fumigation efforts, so any pests are taken care of off the wharves at
designated areas.
Please advise as we move to update our NPDES permit. We can discuss next week if necessary.
Have a nice holiday,
AJ

4. SUMMARY BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
3.3 BEST MANAGEMENT PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
3.3.1 Baseline Best Management Practices
The USEPA has identified eight baselines (BMPs) for implementation at all NPDES-permitted
installations. These baseline BMPs have been adopted and expanded by MOTSU for
implementation at all departments and operations within MOTSU that may directly or indirectly
impact human health or the environment. The baseline BMPs are described in the following
sections.
Baseline BMP 1 -Employee Training
Personnel training is essential to effective implementation of the SWPPP. Personnel at all levels
of responsibility will be trained in the components and goals of the NPDES program and the
SWPPP. Training will address each component of the SWPPP; including how and why tasks are
to be implemented.
At a minimum, the following will be part of the training program:
• Personnel will be trained to identify and manage potential spills that can occur from
equipment and containers of petroleum products (i.e. gasoline, diesel fuel, oil, lubricating
grease,hydraulic fluids, etc.).
• Employees will be trained in proper good housekeeping practices which include:
- Regular vacuuming and/or sweeping;
- Cleaning up spilled materials;
- Identifying where brooms, vacuums, absorbents, foams, neutralizing agents, and other
good housekeeping and spill response equipment are located;
- Instruction on securing drums and containers; and,
- Frequently checking for leaks and spills of various materials.
• Personnel will be trained to recognize toxic and hazardous substances located at the
installation. Personnel will be trained in:
- Proper organization and storage of materials; and,
- Identification of toxic and hazardous substances stored, handled, and produced on-site.
Personnel refresher training will be held on an annual basis. New personnel will receive training
within thirty (30) days of assignment. Personnel training will be documented on a Training Sign-
In Sheet produced by PWE. The Environmental Manager will coordinate training for all SWPPT

members in the elements of the SWPPP. SWPPT members will coordinate training on the proper
implementation of BMPs for all personnel within their jurisdiction.
Baseline BMP 2 -Good Housekeeping
Housekeeping is part of daily operations. Good housekeeping includes continuously improving
operations and maintenance of processes and equipment, proper storage of materials and wastes,
maintaining routine cleanup schedules,maintaining well organized work areas,and promoting safe
work habits of personnel. Specific good housekeeping procedures implemented at the MOTSU
include:
• Maintaining clean,dry floors and work areas,with regular sweeping at least once per week;
• Regular removal of garbage and waste material;
• Prompt cleanup of spilled materials to prevent migration;
• Proper material and waste storage practices, including adequate aisle space to provide for
material transfer and easy access in the event of an emergency; and
• Neat and convenient storage of housekeeping and spill response kits (brooms, vacuums,
absorbents, foams, neutralizing agents, containment booms, etc).
Baseline BMP 3 -Visual Inspections
Routine visual inspections are conducted to identify conditions that may become a pollution source
or a risk to installation personnel. The visual inspection program concentrates on all areas that
could potentially be the source of a material release, fire, explosion, or stormwater pollutant(e.g.,
loading docks, storage tanks,pumps and piping, and drum storage areas).
A variety of visual inspections are performed at MOTSU to satisfy environmental health and
safety, and security requirements. These inspections serve as a periodic check for indications of
stormwater pollution. The following inspection programs are recognized by the SWPPP:
• Fire prevention inspections are conducted monthly by the Installation Fire Department.
The inspections use a standard checklist form for documentation and the Fire Department
maintains records of the inspections.
• Health and Safety inspections are conducted annually by the Safety Office. The inspections
are documented and filed within the Safety Office. Certain areas of the installation that
have been identified as high risk to employees or property, due to the types of work
performed or equipment used, are inspected quarterly.
4. SUMMARY BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
• Storage tank visual inspections are conducted on a monthly basis. One UST is equipped
with automatic tightness testing sensors. The visual inspections are documented and filed
with the Environmental Manager Office.
Baseline BMP 4 - Preventive Maintenance
Preventive maintenance involves the regular inspection and testing of equipment and stormwater
systems. The purpose of these inspections is to uncover conditions such as cracks or slow leaks
that could result in discharges of oil, chemicals, or other materials. The preventive maintenance
schedule prevents breakdown and failures by adjustment, repair, or replacement of equipment.
MOTSU's preventive maintenance program includes:
• Identification of equipment, systems, and facility areas to be inspected. This includes
piping,pumps, storage tanks, valves, material handling equipment, and catch basins;
• Periodic inspections or tests of the equipment and systems;
• Appropriate and timely adjustments and repair or replacement of equipment and systems;
and
• Maintenance of all documents showing equipment/system inspections, repairs, and
replacements.
Baseline BMP 5 -Spill Prevention and Response
Spill prevention and response is covered in the Integrated Spill Contingency Plan.
Baseline BMP 6—Erosion and Sediment Control
Soil erosion and sediment control (E&SC) measures minimize the erosion and transport of
sediment into natural water bodies. During the semi-annual SWPPP inspections, the
Environmental Manager inspects the entire installation to identify bare areas or areas susceptible
to erosion. The US Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Office onsite has responsibility for
inspection of construction projects in accordance with the respective E&SC Plan. In general,three
guidelines for reducing the potential for erosion are followed at MOTSU:
• Bare areas that do not show signs of channeling, are sodded or seeded. This establishes a
low-maintenance, permanent ground cover more resistant to erosion.
• Areas that are too steep to seed or exhibit signs of channeling are covered with rip-rap.
Similar to the seeding, rip-rap minimizes erosion by reducing runoff velocity and filtering
sediment laden runoff as it passes through the rip-rap.
• Areas susceptible to erosion are regularly inspected for signs of erosion or sedimentation.
4. SUMMARY BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
• All areas that are erosion prone or where construction is occurring on the installation should
be inspected regularly.
Baseline BMP 7 -Management of Runoff
This practice seeks to offset the increase of impermeable area in a watershed by implementing
mitigation measures that divert, inhibit, or reduce overland flow and reduce the effect of
degradation of stormwater quality by filtering runoff from industrial areas.
Measures employed at MOTSU include maintenance of large permeable areas (grassy and
forested), use of secondary containment around tanks and covered containment pallets for 55-
gallon drums,the use of naturally vegetated swales to convey runoff from portions of the site, and
the maintenance of an effective stormwater system. New construction projects are designed using
the State of North Carolina stormwater guidelines.
Baseline BMP 8—Record keeping and Reporting
PWE personnel maintain records of events that occur on site as a means of tracking the progress
of pollution prevention efforts and to develop improved BMPs. Records include documentation
of all spills, leaks, and related incidents. Record keeping also includes maintaining employee
training records, inspection documentation, and internal and external correspondence.
3.3.2 STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE BMPS
The following is a list of BMPs that were found to be a part of standard operating procedures
generally implemented throughout the installation:
• All spills are reported to a single contact, Installation Fire Department.
• Industrial activities are conducted inside and storm water contact is minimized.
• Good housekeeping procedures are applied throughout MOTSU.
• Drip pans are available for equipment stored and/or maintained outside.
• Hazardous liquids contained in 55-gallon drums are stored on secondary containment
pallets indoors; smaller containers are placed in appropriate storage lockers.
• Consideration is given to segregation of stored materials in contained areas.
• Maintenance activities for vehicles are performed under a roof, if possible.
4. SUMMARY BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
• Most installation vehicles are washed at the vehicle wash rack. The Fire Department
washes response vehicles daily with.mild soap and water rinses with no degreasing. No
POVs are washed at MOTSU.
• Exposure minimization is practiced throughout MOTSU.
• HAZMAT areas including Satellite Accumulation Areas (SAAs) are located inside
buildings.
• All ASTs have secondary containment and any accumulated structure stormwater is
inspected prior to release.
• Spill kits are readily available at all HAZMAT and hazardous waste storage areas.The kits
are properly labeled and easily accessible.
• All major vehicle and equipment painting is performed off site of MOTSU.
• Proper security measures are in place throughout MOTSU.
• Dumpsters and recycle bins are covered and plugged at all times to prevent rain from
coming in contact with the contents in the containers.
• Annual storm water pollution prevention and BMP training is provided to maintenance
personnel.
• Contractors are required to remove junk/scrap vehicles and equipment from MOTSU.
• Public Works has a procedure to inspect secondary containment contents prior to release.
• Maintenance equipment and vehicles are parked in covered storage bays where practicable.
• Replaced electrical transformers are removed as soon as contract allows.
• Used batteries are stored on a containment pallet and in covered area or in weatherproof
cabinet.
• Inspections of buildings and areas identified as potential pollutant sources are inspected
and records are on file in the PWE office.
• Construction contractors are made aware of environmental permits and compliance issues
for their respective project area.
The following BMPs were implemented during the 2014-2019 permit at MOTSU:
• Construction of a canopy wash area (B43) that is enclosed and self-contained with an oil
filtration system; removes exposure to stormwater runoff.
• Construction of a heavy equipment wash rack area at Building 143 which facilitates proper
preventative maintenance and eliminates stormwater runoff.
5. Significant Changes during 2014 - 2019 Permit
1 . Construction of a canopy wash area (B43) that is enclosed and
self-contained with an oil filtration system; removes exposure to
stormwater runoff.
2 . Construction of a covered heavy equipment wash rack area at
Building 143 which facilitates proper preventative maintenance and
eliminates stormwater runoff. The drainage system passes through
an oil water separator before discharging into a sanitary sewer
system.
