Alaina,
Below is the e-mail correspondence I had with Keith Bailey regarding outfalls at the Smithfield Tar Heel Distribution
Center. My apologies for not sending this to you before. I should be in the office all day today if we need to discuss
further.

Keith,
Thank you for the follow-up. Provided that any overflows/discharge from “outfall 2” into the wetlands is true sheet flow,
then I would agree that it is not a distinct point source discharge of stormwater and would not be considered an outfall
to be monitored. The ditch bank/berm should be adequately maintained to continually achieve such sheet flow and to
maintain the integrity of the wetland. Otherwise, a distinct point source discharge could develop, which would then
need to be monitored per the conditions of the NCG060000 permit.

I appreciate your time and assistance. Please contact me if we need to discuss further. I will comment back to our
Central Office to proceed with issuance of permit coverage.

Mike,

Outfall 1A is the pump discharge from the BMP Storage System, Outfall 1B is the same discharge just downstream where
it enters the wetlands. Outfall 2 is basically the overflow from the ditch constructed along the entrance road. It is
designed to even out the discharge from the ditch into the wetland. The ditch is designed to be flooded at all
times. The ditch receives sheet flow from the concrete entrance.

With respect to the permitted sampling point, I would suggest Outfall 1A or 1B or somewhere in between. Outfall 2 is
not really an outfall because the discharge is spread across the entire length of the entrance road and the wetland it
overflows into is flooded most of the time.

Please call me if you have any questions.

Keith,
Thanks for speaking with me about the NOI for coverage under the NCG060000 permit for the Tar Heel Distribution
Center. Attached is a copy of the drainage/outfall site map that was included with the NOI. I was asking about the area
labeled on the map as OUTFALL #2: LEVEL SPREADER.

Thanks,
Mike
