Section 1. Facility Activities and Process:
The Nutrien PCS Phosphate, Inc. (bulk terminal) facility is a bulk handler of materials for export and
handles unloading, storage, and loading of solid and liquid phosphate fertilizer. Solid material is handled
in partially enclosed conveyors and stored in enclosed storage buildings prior to loading for shipment,
and liquid material is pumped to five above ground storage tanks prior to shipment. Potash containing
material has recently been shipped from this facility.
Per information provided 2/l/2024, PCS does not have any current plans to develop any of the leased
area. The land to the north of the Fertilizer A-Frame is not leased by PCS and is owned by the NC Port.
It could drain to outfall 100 or 200. Current products onsite include:
• Feed Grade Monocalcium Phosphate: Feed phosphates are inorganic salts of phosphoric acid that
are extracted from phosphate rock.
• Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) 18-46-0: DAP fertilizer is source of phosphorus (P) and nitrogen
(N) for plant nutrition.
• Monoammonium Phosphate (MAP) 11-52-0: MAP is a widely used source of P and N.
• Muriate of Potash (Granular): Other names are Potassium Chloride or Potash; a source potassium
and chloride for plant production.
• Phosphoric Acid 54%P205: Commonly called Merchant Grade Acid(MGA); liquid product
used to produce fertilizer and other industrial products.
• DUSTROL: Dust control agent added to products during conveyance to mitigate dust.
• Diesel Fuel: Fuel used for front-end loader and other mobile/portable equipment.

Nutrien also stated stormwater that is outside the catchment area sheet flows to adjacent areas.
Stormwater that is collected in the storage tank containment area is checked for contamination by
measuring the pH. Uncontaminated storm water can be directed to the storm water collection system and
discharged or pumped to a grassed area and allowed to infiltrate. Contaminated storm water is evaluated
for recovery.
During the renewal process,Nutrien proposed to add a French drain that covers some of the perimeter
around the trailer office at the port. The French drain will connect to a catch basin and then gravity feed
to an existing storm drain on their leased property.
Nutrien requested that Outfall 200 be removed as a representative sample of the discharge is not possible
due to physical conditions (seawater will be present in the drop inlet resulting in a nonrepresentative
sample of the discharge). Outfall SW200 will remain in the permit as sampling can be taken upstream of
the inlet, or other measures can be taken to capture a sample. Outfall SW001 has been granted ROS for
SW002 per the February 2024 inspection report.
Per a phone call w/Nutrien representatives 4/29/2024, the outfall 200 pipe is basically in the water and
hard to sample and outfall 100 has comingling from Meherrin discharge and an old laydown area and
port traffic going to Meherrin building. A new building is going in on north side of plot and outfall 200
has runoff from their building as well as the new building (Nutrien doesn't know for sure what the new
building is). Nutrien stated no industrial exposure coming from nutrients from them in outfall 200. There
was a sewage lift station added next to the building from an extended sewer pipe in outfall 200 area
which Nutrien is concerned about being maintained properly by the Port. Nutrien indicated they are
going to request removal of outfall 200, and DEMLR WiRO inspector was going to write a report to
Port Authority telling them they need to request adding outfall 200 to their permit. Both permits (the
Port modification and Nutrien's renewal)will be processed together.
Outfall SW 100:
Drainage area consists of phosphate storage buildings and conveyor belts. Outfall is influenced by
activities occurring on the adjacent property (North Carolina Port of Morehead City).
Additional outfalls:
Outfall SW200:
Drainage area consists of a phosphate storage building. Outfall is influenced by activities occurring on
the adjacent property (North Carolina Port of Morehead City). Per the Port of Morehead City
(NCS000173) fact sheet, the drainage area consists of dumpster and piles of scrap wood, stone base, and
metal debris. This outfall is being transferred to permit NCS000173.
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
Page 2 of 8

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:
• September 2018 to November 2023, benchmarks exceeded for:
o SW001: TSS 3x, total phosphorus 15x, total nitrogen 5x, COD 9x
o No benchmark for ammonia nitrogen in previous permit, but historical data has
exceedances of new benchmarks
o No monitoring data provided for SW002 as permittee states in renewal application they
were previously granted ROS
• Per letter dated 5131/2022, facility was granted ROS for SW001 to represent SW002
• Per letter dated 5/31/2022, Tier 2 status was granted relief for SW001 (previously in Tier 2
status) for TSS, COD, and total phosphorus
o Facility to return to Tier 1 status until the permit expired
• Per an email from DEMLR WiRO (dated 1/22/2024): The state is currently constructing next to
PCS, maybe affecting drainage. They also had questions concerning states access that may drive
up sampling numbers.
• Per the February 2024 inspection report:
o No problems except for the commingling of NCSP stormwater with Nutrien stormwater;
with the use of the adjacent property, cannot say who is who in the pollution queue.
o Line 100 is being impacted by a new guard house and entrance to E&SC plan CARTE-
2023-003 Fertilizer Storage Warehouse in the SW corner of the Nutrien building. There
is a sewer connection adjacent to a yard inlet. The future design of the E&SC site plans
on an infiltration basin with an overflow structure connecting to line.
o Line 200 is being impacted by the Carte-2023-003 during construction. The proposal
does have stormwater collection around the new building directed to the western side
infiltration pond, but again, the overflow will go to line 100.
o The new warehouse will be sharing access road that has Nutrien inlets. This is already an
issue with the new gravel storage yard and the fish meal storage building. Evidence of
fertilizer product is present around the fish meal building. Nutrien has notified this office
of truck traffic going across their permitted areas in the past with concerns of spillage.
o Discussed recombining permits with the port, but that has implications further than
stormwater issues.
o Currently, tier two relief is in place.
o Representative outfall status for line 100 to be represented by line 200 can carry over into
new permit.
• Per the 2018 inspection report:
Page 3 of 8

o SDO1 between the bridge and the railway bridge is affected by the conveyor belts. The
belts are sprayed with a food grade lignen sulfonate, a common dust control BMP. No
process affects SD02.
• Per the September 2023 inspection report for the Port of Morehead City (NCS000173):
o The fish meal warehouse is being utilized by the port, not Nutrien. Nutrien has
complained about the transport between the fish meal warehouse and the southern port
area, across Nutrien lease property. This area needs to be evaluated for additional
sampling locations.
Threatened/Endangered Species:
There are numerous threatened and endangered species in the nearby vicinity of the discharge outfalls.
See the attached report from the NC Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.
Section 3. Proposed Monitoring for Stormwater Discharges:
The Division considered potential pollutants from past and present industrial activities and data was
submitted for September 2018 to November 2023. Quantitative sampling included pH, TSS, total
phosphorus, total nitrogen, TKN, nitrate-nitrite, ammonia nitrogen, COD, and fluoride.
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 PCS Phosphate, Inc. site.

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
Page 5 of 8

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.
A summary of the benchmarks in the draft permit, and their basis, is below:
Parameter Benchmark Basis
Total Suspended 100 mg/L National Urban Runoff Program(NURP) Study, 1983
Solids TSS
H 6.8 s.u. — 8.5 NC Water Quality Standard(Range)
p s.u.
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
Aluminum Total 240 /L '/2 FAV
Copper Total 6 /L Acute Aquatic Criterion, '/2 FAV
Zinc Total 95 /L Acute Aquatic Criterion, '/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.
Page 6 of 8

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.
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:
• Regulatory citations added
• Monitoring increased from semi-annually to quarterly for all parameters (qualitative and
quantitative)
• "No discharge" clarifications made
• Feasibility study requirement removed per updated stormwater program requirements
• Annual online SWPPP certification requirement removed per updated stormwater program
requirements
• eDMR requirement updated
• Boilerplate language moved into body of the permit; boilerplate no longer attached
• Outfall-specific monitoring been implemented to reflect industrial activity and potential
pollutants specific to each discharge area
• Benchmarks removed for COD and total phosphorus
o Previous permit mistakenly used freshwater benchmarks
• pH benchmarks updated to saltwater benchmarks
o Previous permit mistakenly used freshwater benchmarks
• Monitoring added for total nitrogen, total aluminum, total copper, and total zinc as they have the
potential to be present in the discharge (per information submitted with the permit renewal
application)
o Magnesium, total fluoride, total iron, cobalt, and sulfate also identified as being
potentially present in the discharge, however, there are no saltwater benchmarks for these
parameters and BOD and COD can represent any potential issues onsite
• Monitoring for BOD and conductivity added due to the type of industrial activity occurring
onsite
Page 7 of 8

• Monitoring for tidal conditions added for all outfalls as outfalls have the potential to be tidally
influenced
• Benchmarks updated for parameters per guidance from DWR Standards group on stormwater
benchmarks
Section 5. Changes from draft to final:
• Outfalls renamed per comments received on the draft permit
• Outfall SW200 has been removed per comments received on the draft permit
o Modification request submitted for NCS000173 to add this outfall
Section 6. Discussions with the Facility and Regional Office:
• Initial contact with facility: 12/7/2023
• Initial contact with Regional Office: 12/7/2023
• Draft sent to CO peer review: N/A
• Draft sent to Regional Office: 4/3/2024
• Final permit sent for supervisor signature: 6/28/2024
Section 7. Comments received on draft permit:
• Maria Dunn (NCWRC; via email 4/12/2024): NCWRC has reviewed the permit modifications
for PCS Phosphate—Morehead City Bulk(Nutrien) in Carteret County and does not have
comment on the modifications to existing permit NC0000520. The modifications should better
asses the more marine conditions and aid in the monitoring of the discharge, thereby providing a
better understanding of potential impacts to receiving waters and wildlife resources, including
threatened and endangered species present in the area. Improved monitoring may give better
understanding of harmful discharge components that may need to be addressed at a later date.
• Chandler Stroud (Nutrien; via email 6/7/2024):
o Outfall labeling (p. 15 and 16): The outfalls should be labeled Outfall SW100 and Outfall
SW200, as detailed in the previous permits.
■ DEMLR response: The outfalls have been renamed.
o pH benchmarks (p. 15): The Benchmark for pH is currently listed as 6.8 s.u. — 8.5 s.u. In
the footnotes there is a statement"instead of 6 SU." Should the footnote also read 6.8
SU.?
■ DEMLR response: The correction has been made.
o After discussion and agreement with the North Carolina Port Authority(NCPA),NCPA
intends to submit a permit modification to add the referenced outfall to their facility
permit within 90 days of this letter being submitted. Outfall SW200 should be removed
from this permit and incorporated in the NCPA stormwater permit.
■ DEMLR response: Outfall SW200 has been removed from the permit as it has
been added to stormwater permit NCS000173.

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 roust either
(1)request modification of this permit and modify the SWPPP accordingly,or(2)eliminate potential
discharges by removal,plugging,or combination of both.
D-3. Methodology for CoIlectin Samples
[40 CFR 122.4](7); 15A NCAC 02H.0143(a)(22)]
(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 S W PPP. 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.

4. The permittee shall document tidal influences at that time of the sample to record whether samples were
taken at high or low tide conditions(or a more average condition in between).
• Outfall SW 100: Drainage area consists of phosphate storage buildings and conveyor belts.
• Outfall SW200: Drainage area consists of a phosphate storage building,a dumpster, and piles of
scrap wood, stone base, and metal debris.
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 SWPPP accordingly,or(2)eliminate potential
discharges by removal,plugging,or combination of both.
D-3. Methodology for Collecting Samples
[40 CFR 122.416); 15A NCAC 02H.0143(a)(22)]
(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
[40 CFR 122,416); 15A NCAC 02H.0143(a)(22)]
Samples shall be collected at all stormwater discharge outfalls(SDOs)that discharge stormwater

Subject: [EXT] RE: [External] Nutrien (PCS Phosphate) Draft Permit
Notes from BIMS report summarizing meeting with Nutrien:
Met with Chris Smith and Danny Winstead regarding permit renewal and new issues regarding discharge
Locations.
Outfall 200 on the west side of the property drains roof drainage from phosphate storage building and Hwy
70 drainage.The north side of the 200 line will now receive drainage from the proposed lease area B (per
application map)that has been developed by NC State Ports. NCSP has constructed a fertilizer warehouse
(CARTE-2023-003)that has a stormwater system that is designed to catch SW from their site.The
1

infiltration basin has an overflow pipe leading to Line 200 (unclear on both plans).The entrance has been
rehabilitated with a new guard gate. Grading was not shown on the erosion control plan for the access road
and drainage is unclear if road storm runoff will go to the old system or new system from the plans.Access
to the rear entrance of the Nutrien warehouse has been cutoff from the guard gate and an additional
fencing near midway on the Nutrien warehouse.
Nutrien is inquiring if they can remove Line 200 from thier permit due to comingling of stormwater from
other sources (NCSP).
There may also be issues of comingling on the northern most warehouse owned by NCSP (fishmeal
warehouse). On the west side of the fishmeal warehouse is a pipe that may lead to Nutrien systems.
Additional comingling may be on the east side of the fish meal warehouse with line 100. Last summer,
significant truck traffic accesses the fishmeal warehouse through the Nutrien road, often spilling fertilizer.
Nutrien has complained that this has affected thier testing.
A conversation should be furthered to evaluate what Nutrien can or needs to do regarding the permitting.
This office contends that we want permitting that is accurate to the conditions onsite, if multiple sources
of contamination exist.
did not review the NCSP Morehead City permit. Right now all Nutrien wants to address is the 200 Line. I said they
should resubmit the application removing the outfall, but that cannot happen if the NCSP does not accept the
outfall. Nutrien does have sensitivity to not having a permit, releasing all the permit to NCSP. Danny Winstead
could write a book about the history of the site and how we got to two permits. I do not want that knowledge.
Do you have any insight how to proceed?
Chris, please feel free to chime in if I got something wrong.

Good morning Briana.
NCWRC has reviewed the permit modifications for SePRO Research and Technology in Nash County and does not have
comment on the modifications to existing permit NC0000594.The modifications should aid in the monitoring of the
discharge and therefore provide a better understanding of potential impacts to receiving waters and wildlife resources,
including threatened and endangered species present in the area. Improved monitoring may give better understanding
of harmful discharge components that may need to be addressed at a later date.
NCWRC has reviewed the permit modifications for PCS Phosphate—Morehead City Bulk(Nutrien) in Carteret County
and does not have comment on the modifications to existing permit NC0000520.The modifications should better asses

Inspection Date: 02/01/2024 Inspection Type:Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
Met with Chris Smith and Danny Winstead to review site conditions.
Main focus of inspection is the effects of adjacent property on Nutrien stormwater. There are two drainage lines 100 and 200.
100 borders arendell st. 200 is between the storage building and the rock pad (NCSP) and turns to the south and empties to
the east near arnedell st.
Line 100 is being impacted by a new guard house and entrance to E&SC plan CARTE-2023-003 Fertilizer Storage
Warehouse in the SW corner of the Nutrien building. There is a sewer connection adjacent to a yard inlet. The future design
of the E&SC site plans on an infiltration basin with an overflow structure connecting to line
Line 200 is being impacted by the Carte-2023-003 during construction. The proposal does have stormwater collection around
the new building directed to the western side infiltration pond, but again, the overflow will go to the line 100.
The new warehouse will be sharing access road the has Nutrien inlets. This is already an issue with the new gravel storage
yard and the fish meal storage building. Evidence of fertilizer product is present around the fish meal building. Nutrien has
notified this office of truck traffic going accross thier permitted areas in the past with concerns of spillage.
Discussed recombining permits with the port, but that has implications further than stormwater issues.
Discussed restarting tier status. Currently, tier two releif is in place.
Representative outfall status for line 100 to be represented by line 200 can carry over into new permit.
Recommend issuing permit.

Recommend permit issuance, no problems here. Except for the commingling of NCSP stormwater with Nutrien
stormwater. Danny Winstead can explain why they were separated out, circa 2004?, but with the use of the the adjacent
property, I don't see how we can say who is who in the pollution queue. Chris Smith has concerns, but he is wary of
shaking the bottle too much.

Hi Brian,
January is our busiest month because of reporting obligations at our Aurora plant. It looks like next
Thursday or Friday I could make a trip down to meet you. Let me know your preference. Any time after
9:30 am would be preferred.
Is this a full compliance inspection or are you mainly focused on the third-party construction in our non-
leased adjacent area?
Kind regards,

Nutrien is installing a stormwater drain. What do they need to do for you to document? I do
not think this changes the sampling for the site.

Brianna, or do we need to send her this information for our renewal which she is working on now?

Good morning Brian,
Danny Winstead reached out to you about a potential project at our Morehead city port location. We
are proposing to add a French drain that covers some of the perimeter around our trailer office at the
port. The French drain will connect to a catch basin and then gravity feed to an existing storm drain on
our leased property(see diagram below), which is part of our NPDES permit. We're doing this to keep
water from pooling on, around and underneath our trailer. Would this require any modification to our
permit or just a note in our SPPP? If you need more information, please let me know.

Thanks,

RE: Port of Morehead City; NCXS000173
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.
Also please note that the NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional
correspondence if a Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Land and Water Fund
easement, or an occurrence of a Federally-listed species is documented near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance,
please contact Rodney A. Butler at rod ney.butler(a)ncdcr.gov or 919-707-8603.

After reviewing the information provided, I have a few follow-up questions:
• Table D: You stated "Instructions for Table D on pages 2F-6 and 2F-7 reference the Use of
Historical Data in lieu of sampling." Historical data may be used, however, Table D is still
required to be filled out and submitted as it provides characteristics of the storm event that
provided the data for Tables A, B, and C.
i

Attached are revised copies of Page 6 and Page 13 (Table D). As discussed the Maximum Daily
Discharge occurred on three different days for the required pollutants. The NCDEQ program would
not let me complete Table D with multiple lines, therefore I've attached three pages for Page 13
(Table D).
• Do you have monitoring data more recent than October 2022?
Yes we do. See attached.
o PCS Phosphate Company, Inc.
o PCS Phosphate - Morehead City Bulk Handling Facility
• Table D of EPA Form 2F was not provided;
Attached.
• Description of chemicals stored onsite;
• Current products approved for the site:
o Feed Grade Monocalcium Phosphate: Feed phosphates are inorganic salts
of phosphoric acid that are extracted from phosphate rock.
o Diammonium Phosphate 18-46-0: DAP fertilizer is source of P and
nitrogen (N) for plant nutrition.
2

o Monoammonium Phosphate 11-52-0: Monoammonium phosphate (MAP)
is a widely used source of phosphorus (P) and nitrogen(N). It's made of two
constituents common in the fertilizer industry and contains the most
phosphorus of any common solid fertilizer.
o Muriate of Potash(Granular): Other names for this product are Potassium
Chloride or Potash. This product is a source of potassium and chloride for
plant production.
o Phosphoric Acid 54% P2O5: Commonly called Merchant Grade Acid or
MGA this is a liquid product used to produce fertilizer and other industrial
products.
o DUSTROL: Dust control agent added to products during conveyance to
mitigate dust.
o Diesel Fuel: Fuel used for front-end loaders and other mobile/portable
equipment.
• Description of how stormwater from the storage tank containment area is handled;
o Stormwater that is collected in the storage tank containment area is checked
for contamination by measuring the pH. Uncontaminated storm water can be
directed to the storm water collection system and discharged or pumped to a
grassed area and allowed to infiltrate. Contaminated stormwater is evaluated
for recovery.
• Description of how stormwater is handled that comes into contact with the storage tanks
and overhead conveyor(on the east side of the site)not in any identified drainage area;
o Stormwater that is outside the catchment area sheet flows to adjacent areas.
There should not be contact with product, as all loading and conveyance of
product takes place under roofs and covers.
• Description of activities that will occur in the proposed lease areas and when these
activities are anticipated to begin;
o PCS does not have any current plans to develop any of our leased area. The
land to the North of the Fertilizer A-Frame is not leased by PCS and is owned
by the NC Port. It could drain to outfall 100 or 200.
• An electronic spreadsheet summarizing all of the monitoring data that has been collected
since the effective date of the current permit;
o Attached.
• Verification that the information in the renewal application is still complete and correct;
and
3

o It has been nearly a year since the permit renewal package was
submitted. Environment One was purchased and is operating under a new
name, Waypoint Analytical.
• An explanation of any operational changes since the renewal application was submitted.
o No operational changes.
• Enter your stormwater permit number into the Stormwater Permit Summary Report and
you will see a form that includes the address of the facility, contact information for the permit,
and the regulated stormwater outfall(s) for the facility. Please review the facility information to
make sure it is correct. Information can be updated using the links provided below, where
applicable:
o Danny Winstead will update this report.
Once I have the above listed information, I can continue my review. You will receive a draft
permit for a 30-day comment period. During this time we will be able to address any comments
or concerns you have. During the same 30-day period, the draft will be sent to a Regional Office
staff member for review as well as out to public notice. Once all comments and concerns are
addressed, you may be issued a final permit.
Please contact me if you have any questions.

The state is currently constructing next to PCS, maybe affecting drainage.They also had questions concerning states
access that may drive up sampling numbers.

I have not finalized the draft as I'm waiting on them to provide some additional information (which they said they'd get
to me in February). If I have a draft permit ready to go before you make it out there, I'll send it to you. Otherwise I'll use

Good morning,
I have started reviewing the stormwater renewal application for PCS Phosphate (NCS000520). Please let me know if
there are any concerns that need to be addressed during the renewal. I saw in BIMS there were 2 inspections in 2022
(one for ROS and one general compliance inspection?). Do you feel these inspections are sufficient for use during the
renewal, or is another more comprehensive inspection needed?

Good morning Brian,
Danny Winstead reached out to you about a potential project at our Morehead city port location. We are proposing to
add a French drain that covers some of the perimeter around our trailer office at the port.The French drain will connect
to a catch basin and then gravity feed to an existing storm drain on our leased property(see diagram below), which is
part of our NPDES permit. We're doing this to keep water from pooling on, around and underneath our trailer. Would
this require any modification to our permit or just a note in our SPPP? If you need more information, please let me
know.

Inspection Date: 05/26/2022 Inspection Type:Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
Request for tier releif from TSS, COD, and Total Phosporus recieved May 23, 2022.
The TSS data compiled by Nutrien since 2013 shows a period of results within the benchmark since 2014 with two
exceedances, one in 2020 and one in 2021. Nutrien has not conducted a significant amount of transport through the facility
in recent times. Other companies transport simalar materials through the permit boundaries. Nutrien contends they are a
contributing factor in the recent spikes.
Nutrien contends that the COD levels are not from thier activities,but rather from runoff from Hwy 70 adjacent to them.
The total phosphorus data shows improvement from the 2008-2011 period to the current time. This improvement is indicative
to the efforts made to reduce product loss.
The sampling protocols can be returned to Tier 1 status until the permit expires. The detirmination can be re-evaluated during
permit renewal.
Request for Representative Outfall Status for Outfall 100 to represent Outfall 200. This was previously granted and continues
to be applicable for the site.

Mr. Winstead is inquiring about an extension on submitting his renewal for the NCS000520 Morehead City Bulk Handling
Facility owned by PCS Phosphate/Nutrien.The renewal is to be in 180 days prior to the expiration date, but they will not
be able to submit by January 1, 2023, expiration date is 6/30/2023. 1 asked him to submit a request for an extension to
central office. He will contact you.
The site is generally idle.There is always a conflict with the state port transporting material through the permitted area,
resulting in abnormal sampling results occasionally.

Mr. Winstead is inquiring about an extension on submitting his renewal for the NCS000520 Morehead City Bulk Handling
Facility owned by PCS Phosphate/Nutrien.The renewal is to be in 180 days prior to the expiration date, but they will not
be able to submit by January 1, 2023, expiration date is 6/30/2023. I asked him to submit a request for an extension to
central office. He will contact you.
The site is generally idle.There is always a conflict with the state port transporting material through the permitted area,
resulting in abnormal sampling results occasionally.

Outfall 200 is sampled from Drop Inlet #201 (see Outfall 100 and 200 Drainage Areas Drawing). Please
note that the invert of this Drop Inlet is -2.4. At this elevation seawater will be present resulting in a non-
representative sample of the discharge. This drop inlet is the only one in which storrnwater from the north
and south sides of the western end of the Phosphate Storage Warehouse are combined prior to discharge.
Due to these physical conditions a representative sample of the discharge is not possible,and we therefore
request that the requirement to sample Outfall 200 be removed from the permit.
Please do not hesitate to call me at 252-322-8263 should you have any questions concerning this.
