PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant prop ses to repair the existing catwalk, install a new wastewater effluent pipeline and diffuser. _ Fortron Industries, LLC Page 2 9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant has requested that the subject CAMA Major Permit Application be processed under the Express Review Permitting Program. The project site is located at 4600 Highway 421 North, in Wilmington, NC. To find the property, take highway N.C. Highway 421 north from Wilmington. Turn right at the entrance to Fortron Industries, approximately 3.0 miles north of the intersection of N.C. Highway 421 and the Martin Luther King Parkway. The project site is approximately 3.0 acre in size with approximately 420' of shoreline frontage. The lot averages 1'-2'above mean low water along the waters edge and T-9'above Mean Low Water in the upland areas. High ground vegetation at the site consists of Sweet Gum, Long Leaf Pine, Maple, Bald Cypress, Willow, Water Tupelo and Green Ash. A section of coastal marsh exists along the western shoreline (approximately 420' long by 20' wide) and consists primarily of Cattail (Typha spp) and Sawgrass (Cladium jamaicense). A vast area of "404" Wetlands also exists on the western portion of the property (as depicted on the USACE signed "404" Wetlands delineation survey). The proposed project is located within the property boundaries of Progress Energy's, Sutton Stream Plant facility. However, the applicant has obtained an easement agreement (attached with permit application) with the facility, which allows for construction, installation and maintenance of wastewater disposal pipelines within Fortron's 20' easement area. Fortron currently utilizes a 5" wastewater effluent pipeline to discharge treated wastewater to the Cape Fear River. However, with increased productivity, the Plant is expanding their wastewater discharge facility. In foresight, Fortron anticipated the expansion of the waste treatment facility, and constructed/installed an 8" pipeline back in 2004. No new work to the existing lines are being applied for under this CAMA Major Permit, except for the connection of the proposed 6" line to the 8" mainline. The New Hanover Land Use Plan classifies adjacent waters and high ground area as Conservation and Transitional, respectively. The waters of the Cape Fear River, adjacent to the project site, are classified SC by the N.C. Division of Water Quality. The waters ARE designated as a Primary Nursery Area by the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries and they are CLOSED to the harvest of shellfish. PROPOSED PROJECT: The applicant proposes to repair the existing catwalk and install a new wastewater effluent pipeline and diffuser. Beginning along the high ground portion of the property, or where the new 6" effluent line would connect to the mainline above the "404" Wetlands line, the applicant proposes to repair (or replace sections if necessary) the existing 2' x 400' catwalk. The existing steel catwalk runs from east to west and spans a 400' section of "404" Wetlands. The walkway is elevated approximately 2'-3' above the wetlands substrate and concrete/steel pilings anchor the structure to the marsh substrate. The applicant proposes to repair the existing walkway instead of replacing it to keep wetland impacts to a minimum. I Fortson Industries, LLC Page 2 As previously indicated, the applicant is proposing to install a new 6" wastewater effluent pipeline and diffuser. The new effluent pipeline would connect to the 8" mainline above the "404" Wetlands line, approximately 300' east of Mean High Water (MHW). The new pipeline would span the entire length of the catwalk and rests atop of the steel walkway. At the terminal end of the catwalk, or adjacent to the waters edge, the pipeline would be reduced from a 6" pipe to a 3" pipe (diffuser line). The diffuser line would extend approximately 80' in a northwesterly direction (from MHW) towards the center of the Cape Fear River, terminating well short of the Corp of Engineers 52' Federal Channel. The diffuser line would be elevated 1'-3' off of the bottom and vertical pilings would secure/anchor the line in place. The applicant has indicated that numerous 8" wood pilings would be used to secure the line. The vertical pilings would be elevated a minimum of 3' above MHW. (2) two-inch diffuser ports would be located at the terminal end of the pipe, placing the actual point of discharge approximately 80' from MHW. The applicant has received an NPDES Permit (#NC0082295), from the Division of Water Quality, for the expansion of the wastewater treatment facility, including the addition of the proposed pipeline. According to the work plat drawings provided by the applicant, the proposed structure would be located within the established area of riparian access, and would not extend beyond the dredging limits established by the USACE. 10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS The proposed catwalk repair, wastewater effluent pipeline and diffuser pipe would incorporate approximately 90 square feet of estuarine waters and public trust area. The proposed structure would be built with in the applicant's area of riparian access. Minor increases in turbidity should be expected during construction.

Mp,NPG'E GO PSVO On Behalf of Fortron Industries, CH2M HILL has prepared the attached CAMA Major Permit Application for the DB6 Expansion Project, specifically this permit application pertains to all construction activities related to a new effluent line and diffuser structure. As per your request, 27 copies of the permit application have been prepared for distribution to government agencies. E Project Purpose The Project is being implemented as result in the need for expanded process plant capacity and a subsequent expansion of the existing WWTP facilities on the main processing plant site. In order to handle the additional wastewater discharge a new effluent line and diffuser structure will be connected to existing underground wastewater infrastructure from the plant site. A new effluent line (-400 feet) from the existing junction boxes will be connected to a new diffuser line (-150 feet). Permit Application The attached permit application contains the required application (Appendix C), as well as a narrative on the permit application development. Within the application there is the description of the actual project scope and the methodologies that will be employed to complete the project. Stream and wetland temporary impacts related to construction activities for this project are described and estimated. Compensatory mitigation for project j related impacts has not been proposed for this project, as impacts will be minimized by methodologies described within the permit application development and all unavoidable temporary impacts will be minor.

The facility manufactures polyphenylene sulfide (PPS). PPS is a high-strength plastic used in electronics and automotive products. Production facilities consist of typical chemical processing equipment (reactors, vessels, tanks, distillation columns, furnaces, and cooling towers) and associated piping. Construction of the production facilities began in the second half of 1992 and was completed in late 1993. Fortron© is now expanding their process plant and their wastewater treatment plant (WWII'), increasing the parcel acreage to 22 acres. Subsequently, an additional 400 feet of effluent line and diffuser structure are necessary. Wastewater sources generated by PPS production will include: process wastewater, sanitary wastewater, cooling tower blowdown, and process area stormwater. All of these sources will be collected and routed to an on-site wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) permitted by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit # N00082295, Appendix A). The process wastewater will contain total dissolved solids (TDS), ammonia and biodegradable organic compounds. The existing NPDES permit covers the expanded effluent discharge from the WWTP. The effluent will be discharged to the Cape Fear River via a pipeline and diffuser at Outfall 001. The effluent line runs parallel to the existing Invista WWTP effluent pipeline for the majority of its 2.5 mile length. • Table 1: NPDES Permitted Discharge Points Fortrone Receiving Body Cape Fear NE Cape Fe Process Wastewater 001 - Non-process Stormwater -- 002 COA .EnZ JUN 16 2006 DIVISION OF STAL MANAGEMENT Fortron'sm non-process stormwater is routed to a holding pond and can be discharged to the Northeast Cape Fear River via an existing drainage canal (NPDES outfa11002) although this has never occurred. Solid wastes generated from PPS production are disposed of at a secure offsite landfill approved by the North Carolina Division of Waste Management. Temporary and Permanent Construction Impacts Wetland Impacts The modification of the existing steel catwalk, construction of a new effluent line and diffuser structure will result in temporary construction impacts to jurisdictional wetlands. These jurisdictional wetlands were determined during a delineation, utilizing the guidance of the 1987 United States Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) Manual, on April 27th, 2006. The jurisdictional wetland line is depicted relative to the project limits in Appendix B. These temporary construction impacts will be minimized by the construction methodologies following guidance provided in the USACE Nationwide Permit general conditions. The existing steel catwalk will be refurbished instead of constructing an entirely new catwalk. Therefore little additional soil manipulation will be necessary as the rehabilitation of the .5- • • existing catwalk will utilize the existing support system. The new effluent line and refurbishment of the existing catwalk can be primarily completed by hand minimizing the amount of construction equipment traffic within the wetland area. If the support system needs to be improved, concrete pilings (approximately 1 square foot in surface area) will be driven into the soil to provide additional support. Under this scenario equipment will be necessary to install concrete pilings. Dave Timby of the USACE Wilmington District stated that the District will not consider the installation of concrete pilings as a permanent impact to wetlands protected under Section 404 (personal communication, May 25, 2006), and therefore the cumulative area of concrete pilings to be used was not calculated as a permanent impact. Stream impacts will be from construction methodologies utilized to secure the effluent line and diffuser structure to the river bottom. The proposed methodology is the use of pilings to secure the line and diffuser (Appendix G), but may be altered based on site conditions. The total footprint for the permanent stabilization of these structures will be less than 0.01 acres. This acreage was calculated using the construction methodology that creates the maximum impact, which is the use precast concrete block for stabilization. There is a tidal creek that bisects the wetland area, this creek is currently crossed by the existing catwalk and the rehabilitation of this ca alk will cause ne ligible temporary impacts on this creek. A summary of the quantitati eF f e e is presented in Table 5. V1 U j Table 5: Temporary and Permanent Construction Impacts JUN 16 2006 Impact Temporary (acres) P ?3?It1(q5}es) 404 Jurisdictional Wetlands (not including CAMA wetlands) 0.22 CAMA Wetland (Coastal Marsh) 0.01 0 Tidal Creek 0.04 0 Stream (Cape Fear River) 0.10 >0.01 Temporary impacts are being considered for the entire area where construction activities will occur (25 feet by 550 feet corridor, including area for diffuser construction) including a 50 feet by 50 feet staging area at the top of the bank of the Cape Fear River. There is a potential with the described construction option that trees will have to be removed by logging machinery. If there are no means of avoiding the tree removal, mitigative measures such as the utilization of mats for equipment work in wetland areas will occur as will mats be used for all equipment operating in the wetland area. Other Environmental Impacts This project is located within the floodplain of the Cape Fear River. The existing catwalk will be refurbished rather than erect new structures in the floodplain. Therefore, there will be no change in flood conveyance or flood water storage capacity; and a letter of notification of map revisions from the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) is not necessary. The area of Cape Fear River in which the new diffuser will discharge is considered waters utilized by anadramous fish that may spawn in or near the project area. Spawning occurs T -s• during the time frame of February 1st to June 30th. All construction activities will be done during the time frame of July 1 through January 31 to avoid impacts to these anadramous species. Mitigation Impacts related to this project will be minimized and all unavoidable temporary impacts will be minor, there fore no compensatory mitigation is proposed for this project. CAMA Permit Application Development Fortron'sO completed permit application is presented in Appendix C. The following text documents the procedures used in preparation of the application and presents data that relates to the information contained in each section of the application. Form DCM-MP-1 Section 1a: Applicant A-C) Fortron's© permit application is being submitted to cover all development activities associated with construction of 400 feet of effluent line and a new diffuser structure to be placed in the Cape Fear River. All construction activities will be within a 3 acre project area adjacent to the Cape Fear River. Most of the construction activities will occur within the current easement Fortron® has for its existing effluent line (0.32 acres). Temporary construction impacts will occur along a 25 feet by 550 feet corridor along the existing catwalk and out into the Cape Fear River along the new 1; diffuser line (Figure 2). Ur, Z V H ? ?? ,jam Section 2a: Location of Proposed Project A-E) Fortron© Industries JUN 16 2006 4600 Highway 421 North DIVISION OF Wilmington, North Carolina 28402 COASTAL MANAGEMENT New Hanover County Nearest Body of Water: Cape Fear River and Northeast Cape Fear River Section 3a: Description of Planned Use of Proposed Project A-D) This project involves the expansion of the existing WWTP on the main processing plant site. Subsequently, a new effluent line and diffuser structures will be connected to existing underground wastewater infrastructure from the plant site. A new effluent line (-400 feet) from the existing junction boxes will be connected to a new diffuser line (-150 feet) that will discharge industrial effluent to the Cape Fear River. Refurbishing the existing catwalk will utilize the existing foundation, this will limit impacts to wetland areas. Temporary impacts will occur within a 25 feet by 550 feet corridor. Ground disturbance will not occur unless the existing catwalk's foundation needs to be improved with concrete pilings. Temporary construction impacts will be minimized by the use of mats for any equipment working in the wetland area. Stream impacts will be from the installation of structures necessary to stabilize the effluent line within the Cape Fear River as well as the diffuser structure. .7- Section 4a: Land and Water Characteristics A-C) The project site is approximately 3 acres along an existing easement that will be used for the effluent discharge pipeline just above the existing diffuser structure. Temporary land disturbance area will be limited to a 25 feet by 400 feet corridor (0.23 acres) along the existing catwalk (Figure 2), the entire area will not be impacted but this is the boundary for construction activities. Temporary impacts within the Cape Fear River will occur within a 25 feet by 150 feet area downstream of the existing diffuser. Existing upland construction facilities (access road and parking lot) have already been constructed along the existing easement and these facilities will be used to avoid creating new disturbances. Access to the area of the proposed diffuser will be by barge. D) According to the general soil survey for New Hanover County (USDA, 1977), the entire area impacted by construction of Fortron's© new effluent line is classified as Dorovan soils which are described as very poorly drained and are also on the USDA, 1995 list of hydric soils for the state of North Carolina. E) The area in which the project site is located has vegetation comprising primarily facultative wetland or obligate wetland species including red maple, sweet gum, and wax myrtle in the more transitional areas and bald cypress, black gum, water tupelo, and green ash in the deeper wetland areas closer to the Cape Fear River. A narrow band of emergent wetland vegetation, dominate r eed and cattail, borders the edge of the river and will be crossed t ta This a rea has been verified by the DCM as a coast ars t eto c 1 mar sh within the project area is 0.15 acres (Appe B). J??N jafls F) The only man-made structure in the project area is he cabv hat was coed Qll as the to elevate Invista and Fortron's© existing effluent ?m? MRAGEMENT diffuser within the Cape Fear River. G-I) Fortron's© production facilities will be constructed in an area classified as transitional under the CAMA Land Use Plan Classification (Ref. 2). The pipeline from Fortron'so WWTP transect areas classified as transitional and conservation. The area of the production facilities is zoned 1-2, Industrial by New Hanover County. The project area where the new effluent line will be constructed is classified as conservation. J-K) Discussion with DCM staff indicated that since the North Carolina Department of Archeology will review this application, a professional archeological survey is not required. There are no historic sites or districts in or adjacent to the project area. L) There are U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) jurisdictional wetlands within the project area, including a small area of coastal marsh along the edge of the Cape Fear River. These areas have been delineated following the 1987 manual and are shown on a map signed by the USACE in Appendix B. M-N) As shown in Figure 1, the Fortronm facility has two NPDES permitted outfalls. Non- process stormwater will be discharged to the Northeast Cape Fear River via Outfall 002, which is an existing open canal. WWTP effluent will be discharged to the Cape Fear River via Outfall 001. The characteristics of the receiving streams are summarized in Table 2. -8- Table 2: Characteristics of Fortron NPDES discharge receiving streams.

This permit application was prepared in accord in Carolina's Coastal Management Program. Form-DW-MP2 Section 1 b: Excavation and JUN 16 2006 DIVISION OF COASTAL MANAGEMENT A-F) There will be no excavation activities below mean low water (MLW) or in any of the jurisdictional wetland areas. An expanded support system for a refurbished catwalk foundation will be installed using standard piling installation methodology. Section 2b: Disposal of Excavated Material A-D) There will be no excavation activities associated with this project and therefore no concerns in regard to the disposal of excavated material. Section 3b: Shoreline Stabilization A-I) Construction for Fortron© Industries will not impact the shoreline stability of either the Cape Fear River or the Northeast Cape Fear River. -1o- Section 4b: Other Fill Activities A-B) The major construction activities within the project area will include the use of concrete pilings, if necessary, to provide added support for the refurbished steel catwalk, to be constructed directly connected to the existing catwalk foundation. Other activities will include the construction of a new stabilization system for the new diffuser structure to be placed approximately 14 meters away from the existing diffusers in the Cape Fear River (NC DWQ requirement). No earthwork of rock work will be part of this project and as stated earlier concrete pilings will not be considered as permanent impacts and therefore were not calculated as fill area. Section 5b: General A-C) Material used will be concrete pilings; these will not be stockpiled on site but will be maintained in upland areas or on the barge that will be utilized for the construction of the new diffuser and its support system. There will be no soil excavation or soil fill, and therefore minimal offsite transport of material should occur. Incidental sediment production will be managed under the guidance of the general conditions of Nationwide Permit (NWP) 12 for utility lines. This guidance will be followed in relation to erosion and sediment control guidelines. During installation of the new effluent pipeline, it may be necessary to transport equipment across wetlands. If this is necessary, protective mats will be used to prevent damage due to soil compaction. Damage will further be minimized from construction traffic by utilizing the existing steel catwalk that supports Fortron'so existing effluent pipeline to hand carry section of the n 1 V Form-DW-MP3 JUN 16 2006 Section 1c: Structures A-G) There will be one new structure constructed in associ I ??c? ifi wo wood pilings will be installed within the Cape Fear Rive7r?toh)o?`e?v' ?@¢T structure.

A q?EM?N ComMsite Sample A sample collected over. a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 ml in such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case-by-case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods: (1) Continuous: -a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow. (2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample collection, or (3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal vohune collected over a 24 hour period with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons -passing the samoiine point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between. sample collection fixed at no greater than 1'/24 of the exnected total daily flow at the treatment system, or (4) - Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at a constant time interval. This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The grab samples shall be taken at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period and must be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters. Use of this method requires prior approgal by the Director. Version 6/20/2003 NPDES Permit Requirements Page 2 of 16 In accordance with (4) above, influent grab samples shall not be collected more than once per hour. Effluent grab samples shall not be'collected more than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at intervals evenly spaced over the 24-hour period that are equal in number of hours to the detention time of the system in number of days. However, the interval between effluent grab samples may not exceed six hours nor the number of samples less than four during a 24-hour sampling period. Continuous flow measurement Floww monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent tunes when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device Daily Disgh= The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day for purposes of sampling For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day.
