Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit
Permit No. NCS000174
Port of Wilmington
New Hanover County
Dear Mr. Walton:
Director
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. Please review the draft very
carefully to ensure a thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains.
The draft permit contains these significant changes from the facility's current permit:
1. Benchmarks have been revised or added for the following parameters: Lead (increased); Total
Suspended Solids (TSS decreased because of primary nursery area in receiving waters); Non -polar Oil
and Grease (Method 1664 HGT-,HEM). Stormwater benchmarks are not permit limits but are guidelines
for implementing the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). A benchmark exceedance is NOT a
permit violation; however, the permittee must respond to exceedances as directed in the Tiers.
2. Ammonia and Nitrates + Nitrites monitoring is proposed for Stormwater Discharge Outfall (SDO) 200
because UAN liquid fertilizer storage tanks have been added to the Port since the last renewal.
3. Monitoring for areas with vehicle maintenance activities (VMA) in Part 11, Section D no longer includes
pH. However, if such areas are subject to the standard monitoring in Section B because other industrial
activities are present, then pH is still monitored_ VMA O&G monitoring also specifies EPA Method 1664
HGT-HEM for (Non -polar Oil and Grease).
4. You are required to collect analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during a "measureable storm
event" as defined in Part 11, Section B. This term is different from the `representative storm event" in
earlier permits.
5. Requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been updated in Part 11, Section A.
6. The draft permit no longer specifies the SDOs that have representative outfall status (ROS) but instead
contains standard general language about ROS in footnote 3 of Table 1 (Part 11). Currently the Port
samples discharges at the following outfall or drop inlet locations: Vopak North, Vopak South, 103,206,
606, 902, 1001, 1001A1, 1304,1704,2006,2012, and 2501. The Wilmington Regional Office has
recommended that these outfalls continue to have Representative Outfall Status (ROS). ROS will be
documented in the final issuance letter of this individual permit for the Port's records.
7. A Special Condition has been added to the permit (Part H, Section E) that requires the penmittee to begin
reporting monitoring data electronically effective December 21, 2016, or when our agency's eDMR system
is ready to accept NPDES Stormwater Permit DMR data. This is a federal requirement that was finalized
October 22, 2015 in 40 CFR 127.26(h). Our Program continues to work with the Division of Water
Resources on modifying eDMR to accept stormwater permit data; the system is not yet ready for our
permittees. Because this permit is scheduled to become effective after the December deadline, the draft
language will likely be revised prior to final issuance.

2. Changes at the facility since previous permit:
o Owner affiliation and Facility Contact have been changed (updated in BIMS).
o Wood products, logs, and woodchips have become the prevalent commodity stored
outdoors. Grate inlet protection devices installed to reduce debris in stormwater
system.
o Installed two 4+ million gallon above ground storage tanks (ASTs) since last renewal
that currently store urea ammonium nitrate (UAN liquid fertilizer). Vessel and
truck loading/unloading systems fully contained.
3. Receiving Waters: Cape Fear River segment here was listed (2012 303(d) List) as impaired for
copper, turbidity, low dissolved oxygen (DO), and low pH. Not rated for nickel (data
inconclusive).
4. Threatened and Endangered Species: Shortnose Sturgeon fish (state and federal endangered),
Atlantic Sturgeon fish (federal endangered, state special concern), Least Killifish (state special
concern), and the state endangered Barrel Floater (freshwater bivalve) present within a one -
mile radius of the Port area [Natural Heritage Data Explorer map query on July 12, 2016].
5. Analytical and/or QualitativC monitoring 'n his past permitcycle: See application for
summary.
o COD and lead (Pb) exceedances at Vopak North and South outfalls, respectively, based
on data submitted with renewal (2010-11); outfalls 206, 1704, and 2501 also had
episodic spikes in COD levels in 2010 and 2011. In 2010, outfall 1304 had a Pb
exceedance (0.044 mg/1) of the current benchmark (0.03 mg/1). However, this value
would not exceed the revised Pb benchmark of 0.075 mg/l, which has been revised
since the last renewal based on a revised calculation method and NC water quality
standards. (The new Pb benchmark is based on a calculation with an assumed hardness
value of 25 mg/1 and then converted to total Pb with an EPA partition translator that
assumes a TSS concentration of 10 mg/l.)
o The reviewer considered revising the Pb benchmark to a saltwater -based value;
however, analysis of ambient salinity data from a nearby AMS station (139740000)
showed a high degree of variability and fluctuation between saltwater (21.6 ppt) and
freshwater (0.06 ppt) conditions. The Pb benchmark in the draft permit is the most
protective under low salinity conditions.
o TSS exceedances were noted periodically since 2009. Several other samples would
have also exceeded the benchmark for PNA (HQW) waters we now implement in
general permits (50 mg/1 instead of 100 mg/1). This parameter will remain in the
permit, especially with wood product storage on site.
o Inspection report by WiRO in response to a complaint was pending after a site visit in
December 2014. Was that report ever completed? Could not find a record in BiMS.
6. Rationale form mitoring parameters: See above and attached staff report from previous permit
cycle. New this permit cycle: Added ammonia and nitrate/nitrites because of new UAN
fertilizer storage tanks. These parameters are proposed only for Outfa11200, which drains the
area around the two tanks. The permittee indicates that these UAN tanks are surrounded by
containment and have no outfalls (all infiltration), and that both vessel and truck
loading/unloading systems are fully contained. If these pollutants are not a problem, consider
removing NH3-N and NO2+NO3 monitoring at next cycle. Asking WiRO to verify that other
outfalls are not potentially affected.

WiRO Review:
• Representative outfalls inspected and found to be apt for sampling purposes.
• The tidal influences should be documented per sample as to differentiate between High tide samples and low
tide samples.
• The wood products and wood chips area has been surrounded with concrete blocks, two feet high. They do
have small gaps between them, but limit product being pushed into wetland areas. The wooden fence around
the chip pile should be higher (can be accomplished by adding boards easily). The pile is better managed than
inspection last year as chips were not spilling over fence and pile was sloped off fence.
• Did not review in depth the sampling data, time did not allow.
• The UAN tanks are double walled tanks and have a berm around them. The loading is done indoors. No other
inlets appear to be affected.
• Jean Conway would have done the report, but didn't?

Subject. Stormwater Permit Renewal for Port of Wilmington
Hi, Todd,
I know it's been a very long time for us to get to the permit renewals for the Wilmington and Morehead City ports, but
we have finally been able to pick them up again.
I have a question about the two 4 MG UAN fertilizer ASTs that were installed at Wilmington. 1 am looking for them on
the site plan but may be missing them. Where are these located at Wilmington's Port, and which outfalls drain
Stormwater from that area?

Summary for the Selection of an Ammonia Stormwater Benchmark for Port of Wilmington
The NC DWR Classifications, Standards & Rules Review Branch staff recommend that the existing �€rwatest__owateri
e chma of 8.4_g 3-N/L be used for monitoring Total Ammonia as Nitrogen (TAN) at the Port of Wilmington
facility in Wilmington, NC. This recommendation is based on a review of the EPA 1999 Update of Ambient Water Quality
Criteria for Ammonia (EPA-822-R-99-014), the EPA 1989 Ambient Water Quality Criteria for Ammonia (Saltwater)
(EPA440/5-88-004), and surface water quality data from the NC DWR Ambient Monitoring System (AMS) station
6974D000 for 2008-2013.
The Port of Wilmington releases stormwater to the Northeast Cape Fear
River. The storage of Urea Ammonium Nitrate on -site and the potential for
stormwater to come into contact with this material has prompted the
investigation into what criteria would be applicable for monitoring ammonia
in stormwater for this facility. Since the stormwater drains into a tidally -
influenced stretch of the Cape Fear River, this investigation has focused on
determining what influence salinity has on the toxicity and measurement of
ammonia and what criteria would be most appropriate for establishing a
stormwater benchmark that is protective of aquatic life.
Ammonia toxicity is dependent on the equilibrium ratio of ionized (NH4') to unionized (NH3) ammonia in water with the
unionized form being most toxic to aquatic organisms. This equilibrium is dependent on temperature, pH and, to a
lesser extent, salinity. As the temperature and pH in aquatic environments increases, toxicity increases as the
equilibrium ratio shifts towards a prevalence of NH3. Increasing salinity, however, shifts the equilibrium back towards
ionized ammonia, causing a slight decrease in toxicity. Analysis of five years of data (2008-2013) for AMS station
B9740DOO reveals an average summer (April -September) temperature of 25°C, an average winter (October -March)
temperature of 13'C, an average pH of 6.96 S.U., and an average salinity of 10 parts per thousand (ppt).
Based on this environmental data, saltwater stormwater benchmarks for Total Ammonia as Nitrogen of 36 mg NH3-N/L
(25°C, pH 7.0, and 10 ppt) for summer and 87 mg NH3-N/L (13 °C, pH 7.0, and 10 ppt) for winter can be determined using
the EPA saltwater ammonia criteria document mentioned above. However, while establishing a saltwater stormwater
benchmark for TAN may seem appropriate due to the facility being situated on a tidal water body with an average
salinity of 10 ppt, analysis of the salinity data from AMS station B9740000 reveals that salinity levels near the facility
show a high degree of variability. These salinity values fluctuate between freshwater and saltwater conditions (min 0.06
ppt, max 21.6 ppt) and do not appear to be related to any external environmental conditions such as seasonal variation,
precipitation, or tidal flow. Since 11.5% of all data points fall below 0.9 ppt, and freshwater is considered ass 0.9 ppt
(equivalent to 500 mg/L chloride) per 15A NCAC 028 .0204, the current stormwater ammonia benchmark of 8.4 mg NH3-
NA for freshwater seems most appropriate as it would be protective of a "worst case scenario" in which stormwater
from the facility is being released into fresh surface water.

Dear Bethany Georgoulias:
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, 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 and is included for reference. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed area within a
one -mile radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report.
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

Central Office Review Summary:
1. Special Issues:
• This area of Newport River is not impaired; however, the section of Bogue Sound
contiguous to this receiving waterbody segment is classified SA; HWQ and also
impaired. Those shellfishing waters are impaired from fecal contamination (2014
Integrated Report Map Viewer) and mercury (statewide TMDL in place to address that).
• Central Office requests guidance from WiRO on whether representative outfall
status should be revisited and whether the currently monitored outfalls are
appropriate. Permit specified outfalls 302, 402, 506A1, 506B1, 510, 803, and 907. _

NCS000173 - Staff Report Request 2016
Old Aviation Terminal (AVT) site at Radio Island did not previously have point sour
discharges of stormwater and was not under this.permid Could the WiRO confirm
whether this is still the case, or whether this permit should include that area?
2. Changes at the facility since previous permit:
o Owner affiliation and Facility Contact have been changed (updated in BIMS.
o Wood products, logs, and woodchips have become the prevalent commodity stored
outdoors. Grate inlet protection devices installed to reduce debris in stormwater
system.
3. Receiving Waters: This area of Newport River is not impaired; however, the section of Bogue
Sound contiguous to this receiving waterbody segment is classified SA; HWQ (more sensitive)
high quality waters). Those shellfishing waters are also listed as impaired because of fecal
contamination (2014 Integrated Report) and mercury (a statewide TMDL in place to address
this parameter).
4. Threatened and Endangered Species: No aquatic species noted in the Port Area, although a
reptile (Diamondback Terrapin) with State Status of "special concern" is within this area. The
federally endangered Atlantic Sturgeon fish (State Status "special concern") is located within
one -mile of the Port area [Natural Heritage Data Explorer map query on July 18, 2016].
5. Analy1ical and or Qualitative monitoring during his a ermit le: See application for
summary. Sample results from two dates (10/2012 and 6/2010) were provided, as well as one
additional sample for Outfai1402 (8/2012). Example qualitative monitoring results were
included for several other outfalls that have to be observed routinely.
o COD and TSS exceedances recorded at outfall 402. TSS was slightly over benchmark
(102 mg/1), and COD was 294 mg/l (8/2012). A sample later that same year (10/2012)
showed levels well below benchmarks. No information about potential sources or
problems was included. Visual monitoring form for 10/2012 observation at 402 notes
Tier Two monitoring.
o A COD exceedance (143 mg/1) at outfall 506B1 recorded in 6/2010. Visual
observation that day only noted "Few organic particles." No other information about
potential sources or problems was included.
o Total Phosphorus (TP) levels at 803 and 506A1 have been below benchmarks;
however,"the sample at 803 in 2012 was very close to the benchmark value of 2 mg/l
(1.93 mg/1). Draft permit maintains TP monitoring at both outfalls. Does the WiRO
concur or advise differently?
o Oil & Grease values were typically <5 mg/I; the revised non -polar O&G (1664 SGT-HEM
Method) benchmark of 15 mg/l should not be a problem.
6. Rationale for monitoring parameters: See above, attached staff report from previous permit
cycle, and copy of final issuance letter in 2008.
7. Permit, Facility. and Owner C=acts updates:
® Confirmed contact information with permittee and updated BIMS if necessary.
® Obtained e-mail addresses for permit contact and updated BIMS.
8. Annual Fees:
® Confirmed in BIMS that permittee does not owe fees.

Recommendations:
Based on the documents reviewed, the application information submitted on March 26, 2013 is
sufficient to issue an Individual NPDES Stormwater Permit.
Central Office recommends reissuance of this permit with the same monitoring as the previous
cycle, except for the revision of "Oil & Grease" to specifically Non -polar Oil & Grease via the 1664
(SGT-HEM) test method along with the corresponding standard benchmark of 15 mg/l (change
from 0&G 30 mg/l benchmark in the last permit).
The draft permit replaces "Oil and Grease" with Non -polar Oil & Grease monitoring with Method
1664 (SGT-HEM) for vehicle maintenance areas. This change incorporates consistency with other
permits where vehicle maintenance monitoring applies. The draft permit reflects the most recent
individual stormwater permit template and boiler plate language, including mandatory electronic
reporting requirements.

W i RO Review:
• Representative outfalls inspected and found to be apt for sampling purposes.
• On the map there is no 302 outfall. 301 is the correct one.
• The tidal influences should be documented per sample as to differentiate between High tide
samples and low tide samples.
• The old aviation terminal AVT on Radio Island is not in the scope of this permit application
according to Todd Walton. PCS should be permitting that area.
• The wood products and wood chips area treated with two paved settling basins. The water
quality appeared to be less septic as it did last year, probably from recent rain and lack of
activity from the chipping operation. I do think that there should be greater efforts to reduce
the amount of organic debris in the ponds, such as fabric barriers or socks. There isn't much to
be done with the aerial wood chips. Maintenance on the Northwestern pond needs to be done.
• Did not review in depth the sampling data, time did not allow.

Subject: Final NPDES StormwaterPermit
Permit NCS000173
NC State Ports Authority - Morehead City
Terminal
Carteret County
In response to your renewal application for continued coverage under NPDES stormwater permit
NCS000173, the Division of Water Quality (Division) is forwarding herewith the subject state - NPDES
permit. This permit is issues{ pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and
the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection agency
dated October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended).
This final permit includes the following changes from the draft permit sent to you an April 29, 2008:
• Clarification that the first valid sample during the monitoring period should be compared to
benchmarks. If the facility chooses to take "follow-up" samples during the same period, benchmark
exceedences would not trigger additional tier responses.
• Clarification that qualitative monitoring does'not need to be performed independently on a semi-
annual schedule in addition to analytical monitoring (removal of "and" from text in Part II, Section C).
Qualitative monitoring should be performed at the same time as the analytical sampling. If analytical
monitoring is not required at a stormwater outfall (for example, if representative outfall status is
granted), qualitative monitoring is still required (text added to the final permit to clarify this point).
Revisions to the boiler plate language in Part III (Standard Conditions) to be consistent with the
current NPDES stormwater permit template. Changes include updated references to legal penalties
and signatory requirements. Please note that the permit now requires that Qualitative Monitoring
Report (QNM) forms provided by the Division be used (Section E). The most recently revised QMR
forms are available on our website at:
http-Jfh2o-enr.state-nc.us/sulForms-Documents.htm#storinwaterGP
• Removal of monitoring at outfall 911A1 from the Vehicle Maintenance Activity Monitoring
Requirements. This deletion is based on redevelopment alterations at the Port since the permit was
first drafted_ In addition, specific references to representative outfalls for Vehicle Maintenance have
been removed because you indicated all vehicle maintenance activities are now conducted indoors. If
any vehicle maintenance activities are exposed in the future in drainage areas to outfalls not being
monitored, r aonitoriing at those additional outfalls is required. t

• The requirement to monitor SDO 402 remains in the permit. We understand the location of 402 will
change from the original drop inlet (which has been removed/paved over), and that the inlet just to
the northeast will instead be SDO 402. Please ensure the location of the newly designated SDO 402 is
consistent in the facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan_
Failure to complete the monitoring as required is a violation of the permit and any permit noncompliance
constitutes a violation of the Clean Water Act. Reference Part III, Section A, Item 2 "Duty to Comply", Item 9
"Penalties for Tarnpering" and Item 10 "Penalties for Falsification of Reports" of your permit for further
information.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable to
you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following
receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the
North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, Post Office Drawer
27447, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611 -7447. Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and
binding.
Please take notice this permit is not transferable. Part III, B.2. addresses the requirements to be followed in
case of change in ownership or control of this discharge. This permit does not affect the legal requirements
to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water Quality or permits required by
the Division of land Resources, Coastal Area Management Act or any other Federal or Local
governmental permit that may be required.

on Radio Island. This is the old AFT (aviation fuel terminal) site, and ground remediation was,
way. PCS also stores materials at this site (sulfuric and phosphoric acid). At the time there were
apparent point source discharges of stormwater from the property; however, after development; the
NCPA planned to have an infrastructure to convey stormwater runoff (has not yet happened). "
Description of Activities:
Multiple activities and transfer of various products occur at this site. At the time of a site visit with the region in early
2006, the Port was a major importer of unprocessed rubber (all stored inside): There were also numerous railcars of
borate from mining. The Port also leases to several government and private companies, such as:
• Owens Corning operates the Trumbull Asphalt facility (changed name to ?)�
• Morehead City Terminals operates a bulk wood chip handling facility N ow Goari4
Since last renewal, the company had no significant changes in industrial activities but has made improvements by
residing several transfer towers to reduce fugttive emissions --potential stormwater contamination. At the Port's urging,
PCS Phosphate (bulk handling of fertilizer) will finally be covered under a separate individual stormwater Permit (status:
drafted and sent to the region for comment). This will result in a change in monitoring for at least one outkU. w '

History:
• 1/27/2006: WiRO (L. Willis) performed inspection. See 2006 staff report for NCS000173 renewal permit.
After much back and forth about whether PCS Phosphate would apply for a separate permit, the Port's draft
renewal permit (retaining the PCS facility) was scheduled for public notice on 1/17/2007. Held it back from
notice because PCS Phosphate finally agreed to apply for a separate permit.
• 2/5/2007: PCS application for individual NPDES stormwater permit received. Reassigned late 2007; draft
and staff report request to WiRO in March 2008.

Central Office Review Summary: Cxn a,,.Q d
1. Owner's Other Permits: 1� p l v,�r.�." n PO �
a Tenants have other permits: t503 w Acn+D c�
• Morehead City LLC also has two outfalls covered by NPDES wastewater permit No._NC0077666. That permit
allows discharge of treated runoff from bulk storage materials (wood chips, crushed stone, and steel slag) that has
been muted thmugh settling basins.
• Trumball Asphalt Plant: The property used to belong to Owens Corning but was sold in 1997 to the Port, so
now Corning is only a tenant. The old wastewater permit for O/W separator discharge (NC0007749) was
rendered inactive after the transfer and was never reissued. The only NPDES wastewater permit Owens Coming
continues to renew is NCG500354 (non -contact cooling, boiler blow -down).
2. General Observations: Biggest challenge at this site will be good housekeeping to control contamination from
track -out and fugitive dust.
3. Impairment: This area of the Newport River (Restricted Harbor Area surrounding the Port) is not impaired;
however, sections of the river contiguous to this area are on the 2006 303(d) List and Draft 2008 List. Those
shellfish waters are impaired because of fecal contamination (closed to shellfishing). The White Oak Basinwide
Plan cites runoff from urban areas and subdivisions (populations and development have increased significantly
in the past five years along this area of the coast, including in Morehead City).
While fecal coliform (more recently an enterococcus standard for salt waters applies instead) is certainly a
concern for this receiving water, the activities conducted at Port are not generally expected to be a source. The
reviewer determined bacteriological monitoring is not appropriate at this time. However, TMDL language in the
permit notes the problem.
It should be noted that Calico Creek, which flows into the Newport River to the west of the Port, was added to
the Draft 2008 303(d) List because of fecal coliform, chlorophyll a, dissolved oxygen (DO), and turbidity
Page 3 of 9

NCS000173
violations. Major water duality impacts in the creek are from urban nonpoint sources and the Morehead Cit}
WWTP, which contributes significant oxygen consuming wastes and nutrients. The creek is not classified SA,
but it is permanently closed to shellfish harvesting by DEH. The Basinwide Plan documents pending upg-i des
to the WWTP, more stringent effluent limits, and recommends a nondischarge alternative. This WWTP point
source is "upstream" (though tidal waters are not so well flushed) of the PCS facility at the Port, but: it does add
to Calico Creek's pollutant loading on the Newport River. These conditions establish a need for the Port and its
tenants to reduce potential bacteria, nutrients, and oxygen demand introduced during storm events as much as
possible.
4. Threatened and Endangered: None noted. A federal ecies of concern" (Southern Hogriose Snake),and a state
species of "special concern"(Carolina Diamondback T6tapin).in the database for surrounding area.
5. Stohnwater Effluent Guidelines: -40 CFR §418.11 stormwater effluent limits apply to asphalt plants facilities;
ho,vever, this site is a bulls handlirig operation only. The draft permit proposes benchmarks for pollutants of
concern and a tiered set of responses based on exceedances but does not include effluent limits at this time. A
case might be made for TP and'fluoride:-limits in the futtire if there are compliance issues and/or water quality
impacts.
6. EPA MultiSector General Permit: EPA's 2000 MSGP requires monitoring for total recoverable aluminum, iron,
lead, and zinc. The 2006 Draft MSGP proposes, to add TSS monitoring in addition to these metals. However,
the MSGP also includes marinas'- in the Water Transportation Sector (Marinas are covered by a separate General
Permit in North Carolina). TSS will riow be monitored at.-alf representative outfalls at the Port, but no metals
monitoring is recommended at this time.
7. Location: This site discharges stormwater to the Restricted Morehead City Harbor Area, classified as SC waters.
Note that the section of the Newport River contiguous to the restricted harbor area is classified SA; HQW.
8. Industrial Changes Since Previous Permit: PCS Phosphate no longer included — will be permitted separately
(proposed NCS000520). Only redevelopment activities --new warehouse added near Berth #9.
9. Analytical Monitoring Notes: See Table 1. Elevated COD levels at all but one oud". NCPA has been cogiizant
of high levels and has made improvernpts to lower stormwater impacts; for example, the port has covered bulk
conveyor -belts purchased a new street sweeper, and implemented routine maintenance. During sampling event in
2I2004, records for antfa03 8�SI0 noted "comp/et`e3y J "conditions nd no analytical results were available.
The company failed to sample out%I1803 phosphoxns during the past permit tern,, but levels during 1996-99 were
between 1-2 mg/1. .
10. Qualitative Monitoring Notes: 2000-Q4 records &nrn Central Files reviewed; very few problems. Noted higher
suspended solids at outfall 907 (Wood Chip storage) in only one quarter. (Runoff from chip operations treated prior
to discharge, covered under NCO077666).

-'t Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring:
Reviewer recommends expanding pH monitoring (which Port Authority already performs routinely), O&G, and TSS
monitoring to all representative outfalls. O&G and TSS are appropriate indicators for stormwater contamination at a
large transit facility and inexpensive to monitor, and these parameters are already required for the subset of outfalls with
drainage from vehicle maintenance areas. In addition, TSS monitoring at outfalls 402 and 502 (added to capture asphalt
plant runoff) is consistent with the NCG 16 general stormwater permit for asphalt operations.
Although fecal coliform is a problem in these waters, do not expect port operations to be a significant source. (Would
also be difficult to assess contribution with marine birds usually congregating near ports.)
0utfa11103 no longer applies to this permit because it is part of PCS Phosphate and TP will be inonitored there under NCS000520.
Reviewer recommends retaining TP monitoring at outfall 803 but eliminating the requirement for other representative
outfalls at the Port because (1) TP levels were low and (2) would not expect phosphorus to he a major pollutant of
concern at the other outfalls.
Representative Outfalls: Possible representative outfall revisions were considered during initial review (see 2006 staff
report request). This draft permit recommends to:
• Add sampling at outfail 911A1 to vehicle maintenance monitoring (site already initiated monitoring).
• Retain sampling at 506B1 & 911A1 outfalls because COD and/or TSS levels were elevated, and because these
outWls represent vehicle maintenance areas. Because the Port has the ability to sample drop inlets that segregate
these areas, there is a benefit to keeping these sample locations.
• Add sampling at 402 and 506A1 (just downstream of the O/W separator) to capture asphalt operations. The
old wastewater permit for the oil/water separator discharge (NC0007749, previously issued to Owens Corning)
is no longer active, and none of the other outfalls raptures runoff from asphalt plant operations —an industrial
activity subject to NEDES stormwater regulations. Outfall 506A1 will better segregate the asphalt plant
activities and eliminate redundancy with 506B1.
• Add TP sampling at 506 Al because phosphoric acid is used as a neutralization chemical (potential residue
from this discharge exposed to stormwater)-
• No sampling added for fish meal operation since discharge sheet flows at north of property.
Monitoring frequency will increase to semi-annually to ensure at least nine data points are collected through the permit
term and to be consistent with qualitative monitoring frequency. Benchmark values and a tiered response approach to
exceedences have been added for consistency with all other individual and general permits issued over the past year.
Stormwater gjha t limits for discharges f tom asphalt paving and roofing emulmom production areas: 40 CFR §443 imposes daily
maximum and monthly average O&G and TSS limits on these discharges. Section 40 CFR §122.44(k)(3) grants N.C.
authority to require BMPs in lieu of permit limits (Note NCG 16 for asphalt operations has no limits either). However,
future reviewers should consider how analytical results over the next cycle compare to those limits. and consider whether
they are appropriate:

Discussions with permit contact (new): March 25, 2008: Todd Walton, NCPA [phone]:
1, Q: The old Aviation Fuel Terminal (AFT) site at Radio Island was undergoing remediation and did not have a`'
point source discharge of storrwater at the time of the inspection in 2066. There were plans for the Port to build
a drainage infrastructure; what is the status of this site?
a. ANSWER: Just fuiished up remediation (excavation, etc.) No drainage structures have been
built; still no point sources of stormwater/no additional permit requirements.
2. Q: Are there boat washing activities here?
a. ANSWER: No, none that NCPA is aware of.
3. Q Has anything changed with Trumbull Asphalt?
a. ANSWER: Only that the name has changed (Trumbull went bankrupt). Saute operation.
4. Q Any other major changes since early 2006?
a. ANSWER: The Port did tear down some buildings near the Trumbull plaint and construct a new
180,000 square foot warehouse behind Berth #9. This was part of a State Stoormwater
redevelopment project that was permitted by DWQ; infiltration basins were constructed around
the perimeter of the building.

PART lI MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR
PERMITTED DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
The permittee shall develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SPPP). The SPPP shall be maintained on site unless exempted from this requirement by
the Division. The SPPP is public information in accordance with Part II1, Standard
Conditions, Section E, paragraph 3 of this permit The SPPP shall include, at a minimum,
the following items:
1. Site Overview. The Site Overview shall provide a description of the physical facility
and the potential pollutant sources that may be Apected�to contribute to
contamination of stormwater discharges. The Site Oveie%&Lshall contain the following:
(a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle. appropriately drafted equivalent
map), showing the facility's location in relation tV.ransportation routes and surface
waters; the name of the receiving watersloiA the stormwater outfalls
discharge, or if the discharge is to al separate storm sewer system, the
name of the municipality and theultirnateeTeceiving waters; and accurate latitude
and longitude of the poi t `fsttor mwater discharge associated with industrial
activity. The general location,mXMo alternatively the site map) shall identify
whether any receiving tees=are impaired (on the state's 303(d) list of impaired
waters) or if the site fis'lo ated i -a watershed for which a TMDL has been
established, and what the parameters of concern are.
(b) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities,
outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and
waste disposal practices. A narrative description of the potential pollutants that
could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall.
(c) A site map drawn at a scale sufficient to clearly depict: the site property boundary;
the stormwater discharge outfalls; all on -site and adjacent surface waters and
wetlands; industrial activity areas (including storage of materials, disposal areas,
process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads); site topography and
finished grade; all drainage features and structures; drainage area boundaries and
total contributing area for each outfall; direction of flow in each drainage area;
industrial activities occurring in each drainage area; buildings; stormwater Best
Management Practices (BMPs); and impervious surfaces. The site map must
indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious, and the site map
must include a graphic scale indication and north arrow.
(d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants during the previous three (3) years
and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts.
Part I I Page 1 of 15

• Permit No. NCS000173
(e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of
non-stormwater discharges. The permittee shall re -certify annually that the
stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater
discharges. The certification statement will be signed in accordance with the
requirements found in Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3.
2. Stormwater Management Strategy. The Stormwater Management Strategy shall
contain a narrative description of the materials management practices employed which
control or minimize the stormwater exposure of significant materials, including
structural and nonstructural measures. The Stormwater Management Strategy, at a
minimum, shall incorporate the following:
(a) Feasibility Study. A review of the technical and economic feasibility of changing
the methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure
/ / q. r rr
of materials and processes to rainfall and run-on�fl t+vs:. Wherever practical, the
permittee shall prevent exposure of all storage/�a''reas, material handling operations,
and manufacturing or fueling operations. IA areas where elimination of exposure is
not practical, this review shall document -the feasibility of diverting the stormwater
i y I N %r
run-on away from areas of potential contamination.
(b) Secondary Containment Requirem nttss and Records. Secondary containment is
required for: bulk stork a of liquid materials: storage in any amount of Section 313
of Title III of the Superfund&Ame6dments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water
priority chemicals: ands rage,in any amount of hazardous substances, in order to
prevent leaks and spills from cgnntaminating stormwater runoff. A table or summary
of all such tanks andAnred materials and their associated secondary containment
areas shall be maint� Jned.Af the secondary containment devices are connected to
stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually
activated valves or other similar devices (which shall be secured closed with a
locking mechanism). Any stormwater that accumulates in the containment area
shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam, outfall staining, visible
sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the accumulated stormwater.
Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be uncontaminated by any
material. Records documenting the individual making the observation, the
description of the accumulated stormwater, and the date and time of the release
shall be kept for a period of five (5) years. For facilities subject to a federal oil Spill
Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan [SPCC), any portion of the SPCC Plan
fully compliant with the requirements of this permit may be used to demonstrate
compliance with this permit. The Division may allow exceptions to secondary
containment requirements for mobile refuelers, as with the exemption provided by
amendments to federal SPCC regulations, as long as appropriate spill containment
and/or diversionary structures or equipment is used to prevent discharge to surface

as bulk liquid material storage in a fixed location in place of stationary containers.
(c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management
Practices (BMPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs
Part 11 Page 2 of 15

Permit No. NCS000173
shall be based on the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute
significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and on data collected
through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a
written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the
selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually.
3. Spill Prevention and Response Procedures. The Spill Prevention and Response
Procedures (SPRP) shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based
on a materials inventory of the facility. Facility personnel responsible for implementing
the SPRP shall be identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and
dated by each individual acknowledging their responsibilities for the plan. A
responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility operations that have
increased potential to contaminate stormwater runo fthr, ugh spills or exposure of
materials associated with the facility operations nThe:SPRP must be site stormwater
specific. Therefore, an oil Spill Prevention Control a4i C- o ntermeasure plan (SPCC)
may be a component of the SPRP, but may not be-sufficient_tb completely address the
stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The commonelements of the SPCC with the SPRP may
be incorporated by reference into the SPRP.
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative
maintenance and good housekeeping �program thall be developed and implemented.
The program shall address all ,stormwater`co trol systems (if applicable), stormwater
discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial
activity areas (including ma ial storage areas, material handling areas, disposal areas,
,4", =
process areas, loading and,unloadrng" areas, and haul roads), all drainage features and
structures, and existing;structural BMPs. The program shall establish schedules of
inspections, maintenaWce`and-housekeeping activities of stormwater control systems,
as well as facility equipment; facility areas, and facility systems that present a potential
for stormwater exposure or stormwater pollution where not already addressed under
another element of the SPPP. Inspection of material handling areas and regular
cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program. Timely
compliance with the established schedules for inspections, maintenance, and
housekeeping shall be recorded and maintained in the SPPP.
5. Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur
as part of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a
minimum on a semi-annual schedule, once during the first half of the year (January to
June), and once during the second half (July to December), with at least 60 days
separating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently than semi-annually).
These facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the stormwater
discharge characteristic monitoring at the outfalls required in Part Il B, C, and D of this
permit.
6. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill
response and cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's
operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. The facility

personnel responsible for implementing the training shall be identified, and their
annual training shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained.
7. Responsible Party. The SPPP shall identify a specific position or positions responsible
for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision of the SPPP.
Responsibilities for all components of the SPPP shall be documented and position
assignments provided.
8. SPPP Amendment and Annual Update. The permittee shall amend the SPPP
whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, site drainage,
maintenance, or configuration of the physical features which may have a significant
effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of
the SPPP shall be reviewed and updated on an annual asis. The annual update
shall include: � f
(a) an updated list ofsignificant spills orYeaks of poililta'nts for the previous three
(3) years, or the notation that no spiHs,have occurred (element of the Site
45 Overview); t
(b) a written re -certification that the s water outfalls have been evaluated for
the presence of non-stormwat r discharges (element of the Site Overview);
(c) a documented re-evaluation of . e e ectiveness of the on -site stormwater
BMPs (BMP Summary elV ement#11e Stormwater Management Strategy).
(d) a review and comparison of sample analytical data to benchmark values (if
applicable) over theiast.year, including a discussion about Tiered Response
status. The perxnittee shall use the Division's Annual Summary Data
14 IV
Monitoring Report (DMR) form, available from the Stormwater Permitting
Program's w,elisite. See'Monitoring Forms' here:
mineral land-permits/stormwater-permits/npdes-industrial-sw].
The Director may notify the permittee when the SPPP does not meet one or more of the
minimum requirements of the permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee
shall submit a time schedule to the Director for modifying the SPPP to meet minimum
requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with
Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3) to the Director that the changes
have been made.
9. SPPP Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan and all appropriate BMPs consistent with the provisions of this permit,
in order to control contaminants entering surface waters via stormwater.
Implementation of the SPPP shall include documentation of all monitoring,

SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1.
All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at each
stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with
industrial activity must be sampled (See Definitions).
A measurable storm event is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the
permitted site outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours
prior. The 72-hour storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a
shorter interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and the
permittee obtains approval from the local DEMLR Regional Engineer. See Definitions.

sampling) during a measureable storm event, until either another permit is issued for this facility or until
this permit is revoked or rescinded. If the facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or Three
response actions under the previous permit, the facility shall continue a monthly monitoring and
reporting schedule in Tier Two or Tier Three status until relieved by the provisions of this permit or
the Division.
2 Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. When physical separation between
outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, sampling shall begin within the first 30
minutes, and shall continue until completed.
3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at stormwater discharge outfalls (SDOs) 302, 402, 506A1,
506131, 510, 803, and 907 unless otherwise specified (e.g., TP monitoring). If there are any changes to the
representative outfall status (ROS) of these locations, a copy of the Division's letter granting or modifying
ROS shall be kept on site.
4 For each sampled measureable 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 substituted for an on -site reading.
The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule
specified below in Table 2, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection
(see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Sampling is not required outside of the facility's
normal operating hours. A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2

sample dates, unless monthly monitoring has been instituted under a "Tier Two"
response. Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented
in the SPPP and recorded on the DMR. The permittee must report the results from each
sample taken within the monitoring period (see Part III, Section E). However, for purposes
of benchmark comparison and Tiered response actions, the permittee shall use the
analytical results from the first sample with valid results within the monitoring period.

2 If no discharge occurs dungtKe sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report
indicating "No Flow" or No Discharge" within 30 days of the end of the sampling period.
Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring
monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period. "No discharge" from an
outfall during a monitoring period does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is
properly recorded and reported.
The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3.
Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase
management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management
Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. See below the descriptions of Tier One, Tier Two, and
Tier Three response actions below. In the event that the Division releases the permittee from
continued monthly monitoring and reporting under Tier Two or Tier Three, the Division's
release letter may remain in effect through subsequent reissuance of this permit, unless the
release letter provides for other conditions or duration.

Qualitative ModitonnR Response
Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluating SPPP effectiveness, identifying new potential
sources of stormwater pollution, and prompting the permittee's response to pollution. If the
permittee repeatedly fails to respond effectively to correct problems identified by qualitative
monitoring, or if the discharge causes or contributes to a water quality standard violation, the
Division may but is not limited to:
• require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring frequency for some
or all parameters (analytical or qualitative)
• require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls;
• require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures;
require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize
impacts on receiving waters; or

2. Changes at the facility since prgYiQus permit:
o Owner affiliation and Facility Contact have been changed (updated in BIMS).
o Wood products, logs, and woodchips have become the prevalent commodity stored
outdoors. Grate inlet protection devices installed to reduce debris in stormwater
system.
o Installed two 4+ million gallon above ground storage tanks (ASTs) since last renewal
that currently store urea ammonium nitrate (UAN liquid fertilizer). Vessel and
truck loading/unloading systems fully contained.
3. Receiving Waters: Cape Fear River segment here was listed (2012 303(d) List) as impaired for
copper, turbidity, low dissolved oxygen (DO), and low pH. Not rated for nickel (data
inconclusive).
4. Threatened and Endangered Species_: Shortnose Sturgeon fish (state and federal endangered),
Atlantic Sturgeon fish (federal endangered, state special concern), Least Killifish (state special
concern), and the state endangered Barrel Floater (freshwater bivalve) present within a one -
mile radius of the Port area [Natural Heritage Data Explorer map query on July 12, 20161.
5. Analytical and/or qualitative monitoring during this past permit cycle: See application for
summary.
o COD and lead (Pb) exceedances at Vopak North and South outfalls, respectively, based
on data submitted with renewal (2010-11); outfalls 206, 1704, and 2501 also had
episodic spikes in COD levels in 2010 and 2011. In 2010, outfall 1304 had a Pb
exceedance (0.044 mg/1) of the current benchmark (0.03 mg/1). However, this value
would not exceed the revised Pb benchmark of 0.075 mg/I, which has been revised
. since the last renewal based on a revised calculation method and NC water quality
standards. (The new Pb benchmark is based on a calculation with an assumed hardness
value of 25 mg/l and then converted to total Pb with an EPA partition translator that
assumes a TSS concentration of 10 mg/I.)
o The reviewer considered revising the Pb benchmark to a saltwater -based value;
however, analysis of ambient salinity data from a nearby AMS station (139740000)
showed a high degree of variability and fluctuation between saltwater (21.6 ppt) and
freshwater (0.06 ppt) conditions. The Pb benchmark in the draft permit is the most
protective under low salinity conditions.
o TSS exceedances were noted periodically since 2009. Several other samples would
have also exceeded the benchmark for PNA (HQW) waters we now implement in
general permits (50 mg/1 instead of 100 mg/1). This parameter will remain in the
permit, especially with wood product storage on site.
o Inspection report by WiRO in response to a complaint was pending after a site visit in
December 2014. ,Was_ that report ever completed Gold not fid:a`record in BIMS:
6. Rationale for monitoring parameters: See above and attached staff report from previous permit
cycle. New this permit cycle: Added ammonia and nitrate/nitrites because of new UAN
fertilizer storage tanks. These parameters are proposed only for Outfall200, which drains the
area around the two tanks. The permittee indicates that these UAN tanks are surrounded by
containment and have no outfalls (all infiltration), and that both vessel and truck
loading/unloading systems are fully contained. If these pollutants are not a problem, consider
removing NH3-N and NOz+NOa monitoring at next cycle. Asking WiRO to verify that other
outfalls are not potentially affected.

based on primary drinking water regulation (default benchmark).
7. Permit. facility, and Owner Contacts updates:
® Confirmed contact information with permittee and updated BIMS if necessary.
® Obtained e-mail addresses for permit contact and updated BIMS.
8. Annual Fees:
® Confirmed in BIMS that permittee does not owe fees.
Recommendations:
Based on the documents reviewed, the application information submitted on August 29, 2012 is
sufficient to issue an Individual NPDES Stormwater Permit.
Central Office recommends reissuance of this permit with the same monitoring as the previous
cycle, except for benchmark revisions for lead [for consistency with EPA recommended acute water
quality criteria) and TSS [adjusted for PNA water protection], as well as the addition of total
ammonia and nitrate/nitrite monitoring for one outfall (drains port area with UAN fertilizer
tanks).
The draft permit also replaces "Oil and Grease" with Non -polar Oil & Grease monitoring with
Method 1664 (SGT-HEM) applicable to vehicle maintenance areas. This change incorporates
consistency with other permits where vehicle maintenance monitoring applies. The draft permit
reflects the most recent individual stormwater permit template and boiler plate language, including
mandatory electronic reporting requirements

Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit
Permit No. NCS000174
Port of Wilmington
New Hanover County
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. Please review the draft very
carefully to ensure a thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains.
The draft permit contains these significant changes from the facility's current permit:
1. Benchmarks have been revised or added for the following parameters: Lead (increased); Total
Suspended Solids (TSS, decreased because ofprimary nursery area in receiving waters); Non -polar Oil
and Grease (Method 1664 HGT-HEM). Stormwater benchmarks are not permit limits but are guidelines
for implementing the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). A benchmark exceedance is NOT a
permit violation; however, the pennittee must respond to exceedances as directed in the Tiers.
2. Ammonia and Nitrates + Nitrites monitoring is proposed for Stormwater Discharge Outfall (SDO) 200
because UAN liquid fertilizer storage tanks have been added to the Port since the last renewal.
3. Monitoring for areas with vehicle maintenance activities (VMA) in Part 11, Section D no longer includes
pH. However, if such areas are subject to the standard monitoring in Section B because other industrial
activities are present, then pH is still monitored. VMA O&G monitoring also specifies EPA Method 1664
HGT-HEM for (Non -polar Oil and Grease).
4. You are required to collect analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during a "measureable storm
event" as defined in Part 11, Section B. This term is different from the "representative storm event" in
earlier permits.
5. Requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been updated in Part 11, Section A.
6. The draft permit no longer specifies the SDOs that have representative outfall status (ROS) but instead
contains standard general language about ROS in footnote 3 of Table 1 (Part II). Currently the Port
samples discharges at the following outfall or drop inlet locations: Vopak North, Vopak South, 103, 206,
606, 902, 1001, 1001A1,1304, 1704, 2006, 2012, and 2501. The Wilmington Regional Office has
recommended that these outfalls continue to have Representative Outfall Status (ROS). ROS will be
documented in the final issuance letter of this individual permit for the Port's records.
7. A Special Condition has been added to the permit (Part 11, Section E) that requires the permittee to begin
reporting monitoring data electronically effective December 21, 2016, or when our agency's eDMR system
is ready to accept NPDES Stormwater Permit DMR data. This is a federal requirement that was finalized
October 22, 2015 in 40 CFR 127.26(h). Our Program continues to work with the Division of Water
Resources on modifying eDMR to accept stormwater permit data; the system is not yet ready for our
permittees. Because this permit is scheduled to become effective after the December deadline, the draft
language will likely be revised prior to final issuance.

Date of Inspection: January 26, 2006
FACILITY:
Port of Wilmington

LOCATIONIADDRESS:
Located on the Cape Fear River in Wilmington at the terminus of Shipyard Boulevard

ADEQUACY OF SWPPP:
NcsoC)Cn� 1-7+
The SWP3 was reviewed on March 22, 2006, The plan had updated revisions documented for changes to the Best
Management Practices at the Port for the year 2005. The plan appeared to address all areas of concern for potential
pollutant releases. An inspection of the berths, container storage areas, vehicle maintenance areas, vehicle washing
station, bulk conveyance, fueling location, and bulk storage areas were conducted. The results of the Analytical
Monitoring (as required by the stormwater permit) accompanied the permit renewal application. A summary sheet was
also included with the permit renewal package for the Qualitative Monitoring Requirements_
VEHICLEIEQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE AREA:
Maintenance appears to be conducted inside buildings with little exposure to rainfall. The surrounding area was free of
oily residue.
VEHICLEIEQUIPMENT WASH AREA:
Heavy equipment is pressure washed and the wash water is pretreated with an oil/water separator system prior to
being discharged to the City sanitary sewer system. The inspection records were not reviewed to determine the
frequency in which the oil water separators are maintained.
TEMPORARY STORAGE OF WASTE MATERIALS:
No waste materials were seen stored outdoors.
OUTDOOR STORAGE OF MATERIALS:
Some materials are staged outside while in transition between shipment and receipt. Some bulk materials are routinely
stored outside under fabric covers (wood chips). This practice is utilized to.provide space for materials that may need
storage inside.
SPILL RESPONSE AND CLEANUP PROGRAM:
The site was exceptionally dean. The berth areas were clean and clear of any debris including dirt and gravel. The
housekeeping practices are excellent.
EROSION CONTROL ON SITE:
The site is primarily paved on the majority of the exposed surfaces and therefore not a concern for erosion.
ILLICIT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION:
This does not appear to be a problem with the Port Authority. The Port Authority has become aware of illicit discharges
from groundwater contamination sources and immediately responded with action to minimize the impact to the
receiving waters. The Port Authority Environmental Affairs Manager notified both DWQ and the Aquifer Protection
Section. These events have been related to neighboring facilities. The company located south of the Port Authority
(Apex) has groundwater contamination that had surfaced at the outfall 2501. The Port Authority has been extremely
cooperative and proactive in their efforts to reduce the impacts of any outside influences and have worked closely with
the Aquifer Protection Section.

WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITIES:
Oil/water separators are the only treatment systems on site.
STREAM IMPACTS/RESULTS OF SAMPLING:
The fourth year 2"d quarter results at outfall 103 had an elevated level of COD (173 mg/L). The fourth year 3`d quarter
results at outfalls at Vopak N and S had extremely low pH. The Environmental Affairs Manager indicated this was likely
due to a faulty pH meter. If not already included in the SWPPP, please include a schedule for regular inspections of all
pH meters to ensure their proper operation. The fourth year 4"' quarter results at outfalls 1001 and 2006 for TSS were
139 and 108 (mg/L) respectively and outfali 206 was 474 (mg/L). COD levels were 113 and 99 (mg/L) at outfalls 1001
and 206. Please continue to seek solutions that can be implemented in the SWPPP to reduce the concentration of
TSS and COD at the outfalls mentioned above. It may be beneficial to consider including BOD analysis at outfalls
103, 1001 and 206, and COD for Vopak N and S in the upcoming permit renewal. Adding COD to Vopak N and S
may help confirm a discharge of a low pH chemical and eliminate any questions whether the pH meter is working
properly.
SUMMARY:
The high pressure washing of the bulk material hopper used to receive and then deliver bulk free product to the
transport trucks is of some concern. The wash water from that operation would drain directly to the receiving waters.
There is currently no way to determine what the impact is since the wash water is not captured prior to discharge and is
not analyzed. The washing operation utilizes a high pressure washer to reduce the amount of water use during the
washing process and reduce the amount of time needed to wash the hopper. The SWPPP audit identified utilizing
catch basins to be built to capture the wash water. This was one of the few suggestions not acted upon by the Port
Authority.
Although there were occasions of elevated levels of COD and TSS, the overall impact from the operations at the
Wilmington Port appears quite minimal. This Port is handling more break bulk business that inherently reduces the
exposure of the imported/exported/stored materials to the environment. The majority of the monitoring results were
exceptionally low considering the amount of activity and business the Port receives. The facility is maintained
exceptionally well.
The efforts taken at the Port to maintain a clean site and minimize the impacts of their activities to the environment
appear effective. The facility is therefore determined to be compliant with the requirements of the stormwater permit
NCS000174.
Wilmington Region Recommendations:
The Wilmingfon Regional Office has no objection to renewing the Stormwater Permit NPDES NCS000174. Maintain
the previous permit monitoring requirements and please consider including BOD analysis at outfalls 103,1001
and 206, and COD for Vopak N and S in the upcoming permit renewal.

SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1.
All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at each
stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with
industrial activity must be sampled (See Definitions).
A measurable storm event is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the
permitted site outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours
prior. The 72-hour storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a
shorter interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and the
permittee obtains approval from the local DEMLR Regional Engineer. See Definitions

response actions under the previous permit, the facility shall continue a monthly monitoring and
reporting schedule in Tier Two or Tier Three status until relieved by the provisions of this permit or
the Division.
L Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. When physical separation between
outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, sampling shall begin within the first 30
minutes, and shall continue until completed.
3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless
representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the Division's letter granting ROS shall be
kept on site.
4 The permittee shall sample_total ammonia and nitrate/nitrate at Stormwater Discharge Outfalll 200 only.
5 For each sampled measureable 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 substituted for an on -site reading.

The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule
specified below in Table 2, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection
(see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Sampling is not required outside of the facility's
normal operating hours. A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2
sample dates, unless monthly monitoring has been instituted under a "Tier Two"
response. Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented
in the SPPP and recorded on the DMR. The permittee must report the results from each
sample taken within the monitoring period (see Part 111, Section E). However, for purposes
of benchmark comparison and Tiered response actions, the permittee shall use the
analytical results from the first sample with valid results within the monitoring period.

renewal process, even if a renewal permit is not issued until after expiration of this permit
2 If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report
indicating "No Flow" or "No Discharge" within 30 days of the end of the sampling period.
Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring
monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period. "No discharge" from an
outfall during a monitoring period does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is
properly recorded and reported.
The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3.
Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase
management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management
Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. See below the descriptions of Tier One, Tier Two, and
Tier Three response actions below. In the event that the Division releases the permittee from
continued monthly monitoring and reporting under Tier Two or Tier Three, the Division's
release letter may remain in effect through subsequent reissuance of this permit, unless the
release letter provides for other conditions or duration.

Summa for the Selection of an Ammonia Stormwater Benchmark for Port of Wilmington
The NC DWR Classifications, Standards & Rules Review Branch staff recommend that the existing res� vuater sto water,
hmar. , of 8w�# rrig 3-N/L be used for monitoring Total Ammonia as Nitrogen (TAN) at the Port of Wilmington
facility in Wilmington, NC. This recommendation is based on a review of the EPA 1999 update of Ambient Water Quality)
Criteria for Ammonia (EPA-822-R-99-014), the EPA 1989 Ambient Water Quality Criteria for Ammonia (Saltwater)
(EPA440/5-88-004), and surface water quality data from the NC DWR Ambient Monitoring System (AMS) station
69740000 for 2008-2013.
The Port of Wilmington releases stormwater to the Northeast Cape Fear
River. The storage of Urea Ammonium Nitrate on -site and the potential for
stormwater to come into contact with this material has prompted the
investigation into what criteria would be applicable for monitoring ammonia
in stormwater for this facility. Since the stormwater drains into a tidally -
influenced stretch of the Cape Fear River, this investigation has focused on
determining what influence salinity has on the toxicity and measurement of
ammonia and what criteria would be most appropriate for establishing a
stormwater benchmark that is protective of aquatic life.
Ammonia toxicity is dependent on the equilibrium ratio of ionized (NH4') to unionized (NH3) ammonia in water with the
unionized form being most toxic to aquatic organisms. This equilibrium is dependent on temperature, pH and, to a
lesser extent, salinity. As the temperature and pH in aquatic environments increases, toxicity increases as the
equilibrium ratio shifts towards a prevalence of NH3_ Increasing salinity, however, shifts the equilibrium back towards
ionized ammonia, causing a slight decrease in toxicity. Analysis of five years of data (2008-2013) for AMS station
B9740000 reveals an average summer (April -September) temperature of 25°C, an average winter (October -March)
temperature of 13°C, an average pH of 6.96 S.U., and an average salinity of 10 parts per thousand (ppt).
Based on this environmental data, saltwater stormwater benchmarks for Total Ammonia as Nitrogen of 36 mg NH3-N/L
(25 °C, pH 7.0, and 10 ppt) for summer and 87 mg NH3-N/L (13 °C, pH 7.0, and 10 ppt) for winter can be determined using
the EPA saltwater ammonia criteria document mentioned above. However, while establishing a saltwater stormwater
benchmark for TAN ' may seem appropriate due to the facility being situated on a tidal water body with an average
salinity of 10 ppt, analysis of the salinity data from AMS station B9740000 reveals that salinity levels near the facility
show a high degree of variability. These salinity values fluctuate between freshwater and saltwater conditions (min 0.06
ppt, max 21.6 ppt) and do not appear to be related to any external environmental conditions such as seasonal variation,
precipitation, or tidal flow. Since 11.5% of all data points fall below 0.9 ppt, and freshwater is considered ass 0.9 ppt
(equivalent to 500 mg/L chloride) per 15A NCAC 02B .0204, the current stormwater ammonia benchmark of 8_4 mg NH3-
N/L for freshwater seems most appropriate as it would be protective of a "worst case scenario" in which stormwater
from the facility is being released into fresh surface water.

Development of a Salt Water Ammonia Stormwater Benchmark
Purpose:
Develop a benchmark for Total Ammonia as Nitrogen in salt water/marsh environments.
Impetus:
Permit review - Bethany Georgoulias requested assistance with determining the best
parameters to use for stormwater monitoring of Ammonia and Nitrogen at a Port of Wilmington storage
site for Urea Ammonium Nitrate and also for benchmarks for these parameters.
Items of concern:
• The stormwater monitoring site experiences tidal flow so any sample collected may be
mixed with saltwater.
• Our current stormwater benchmarks are for freshwaters not salt
• The influence of salt water on parameter testing is unknown
• The effect of salt water on benchmarks is unknown
• The Port of Wilmington lies in an area that may be reclassified as SC swamp. How will
this effect benchmarks?
Plan of completion:
• Communicate with Bethany to clarify sample location and degree of saltwater influence
o We will assume that there will always be at least some intrusion of salt water at the
sample location
• Research potential parameters to measure
o Total Ammonia Nitrogen (TAN)
o TKN
o Nitrate -nitrite
o BOD/COD
• Request information from chemistry lab concerning effects of salt water on parameter methods
and results
o Communicated with Max Overman (via email). He agreed with the choice of parameters
(recommended TAN, TKN, NO3/No2 and BOD) above and described the potential for
interference by salt water_
• Finalize parameters
o I recommended
■ TAN
■ TKN
• Nitrate -Nitrite
• Review EPA criteria for ammonia in saltwater

o Calculation of % unionized NH3 as part of TAN is dependent on pH, temperature and
salinity. A table of calculated CMC values can be found in Ambient Aquatic Life Water
Quality Criteria for Ammonia (Saltwater)1989, page 30, however,
o EPA has an Acute FAV=O.465 mg NH3/L (F this unionized NH3 mg/L) resulting a
_ v CMC=0.233 mg NH3/L in the Ambient Aquatic Life Water Quality Criteria for Ammonia
(Saltwater) 1989, but we may need to calculate our own FAV from more recent data
specific to NC if possible as...
■ —the same document states that "EPA believes that the data available on all
water quality -toxicity relationships for un-ionized ammonia are insufficient to
conclude that any of these factors when acting alone has a consistent ma'or
influence on NH3 toxicity in salt water. Therefore, a water duality dependent
function was not derived for the Final Acute Value (FAV) for saltwater organisms
and Genus Mean Acute Values have been used to calculate the Final Acute
Value."
o The question is which value is better to use, the calculated tabular value, EPAs CIVIC
(0.233 mg/L) or a CIVIC that we calculate on our own?
• Research other states use of salt water ammonia criteria
o TAN
■ New Jersey - calculated their own FAV based on data for geographically relevant
organisms. Their FAV for saline estuaries is presented as 0.230 mg NH3-N/L
with a CIVIC of 0.115 (mg NH3-N/L).
■ Oregon — calculates acute and chronic limits based on environmental
parameters (pH, temp & salinity, pressure)
• Research effect of saltwater on other parameters
• For now we have decided to use a calculated criteria based on average temperature, pH and
salinity, but
o Need temperature, pH and salinity data for the Wilmington area to determine averages
and identify trends (seasonal fluctuations, etc...)
• Meet with Bethany on 1/22/2015 to further discuss concerns about this site and how to best
implement monitoring
o Discuss why we decided to use a calculated value
■ The CMC=0.233(1/2FAV=0.465) would be more protective, but likely
unattainable in stormwater runoff.
o Discuss how we will likely determine the calculated criteria
■ We will use average temps, pH and salinity for the site.
■ May need to account for seasonal variations
■ May need to discuss how best to handle this

Physical Parameters
Water temperature
Water temperatures at all stations ranged from 0.8 to 32.2°C, and individual station annual
averages ranged from 15.9 to 21.8°C (Table 2.1). Highest temperatures occurred during
July and August and lowest temperatures during January. Stream stations were generally
cooler than river stations, most likely because of shading and lower nighttime air
temperatures affecting the shallower waters. Colly Creek was dry June -August so no data
were collected from that site in summer.
Salinity
Salinity at the estuarine stations (NAV through SPD) ranged from 0.1 to 35.1 practical
salinity units (psu) and station annual means ranged from 4.5 to 30.3 psu (Table 2.2).
Lowest salinities occurred in early spring and December and highest salinities occurred in
mid -summer. The annual mean salinity for 2011 was higher than that of the fifteen -year
average for 1995-2010 for all of the estuarine stations (Figure 2.1). Two stream stations,
NC403 and PB, had occasional oligohaline conditions due to discharges from pickle
production facilities. SC -CH is a tidal creek that enters the Northeast Cape Fear River
upstream of Wilmington and salinity there ranges widely, from freshwater to salinity
exceeding 18 psu.
Conductivity
Conductivity at the estuarine stations ranged from 0.17 to 53.24 mS/cm and from 0.07 to
10.43 mS/cm at the freshwater stations (Table 2.3). Temporal conductivity patterns
followed those of salinity. Dissolved ionic compounds increase the conductance of water,
therefore, conductance increases and decreases with salinity, often reflecting river flow
conditions due to rainfall. Conductivity may also reveal point source pollution sources, as
is seen at BC117, which is below a municipal wastewater discharge. Stations PB and
NC403 are below industrial discharges, and often have elevated conductivity. Conductivity
at PB was exacerbated in June and July following a May 10 waste pond spill at Bay Valley
Foods. Smith Creek (SC -CH) is an estuarine tidal creek and the conductivity values reflect
this (Table 2.3).
pH
pH values ranged from 3.8 to 8.7 and station annual means ranged from 3.9 to 8.0 (Table
2.4). pH was typically lowest upstream due to acidic swamp water inputs and highest
downstream as alkaline seawater mixes with the river water. Low pH values at COL
predominate because of naturally acidic blackwater inputs at this near -pristine stream
station. PB had the highest maximum pH concentration in 2011 (8.7); this was the result
of a waste pond spill at Bay Valley Foods in May. We also note that LRC had unusually
high pH levels (8.3) in June and August 2011 (Table 2.3).

Reclassification and Water Quality Management Plan

RE: Effect of salinity an Total Ammonia measurements
Hi, Bethany.
Most folks don't know me as Christopher so that happens all the time ©. Thanks for including me on this, though.
I actually Just received a message today from Max Overman at the chemistry lab. He's given me some good information
on the ways in which sea water may influence some of the testing parameters taht we were considering.
He agreed that we should test Total Ammonia as Nitrogen and didn't find any issues related to testing this in salt
water. He also offered TKN and nitrate+nitrite as putential parameters and leaned toward SOD rather than COD due to
possible chloride Interference in the COD procedure.
So, a full sweep would give us:
• Total Ammonia as Nitrogen to directly measure ammonia concentrations,
• Total Nitrogen (TKN + NO3/NO2)
o TKN to measure urea and ammonia/ammonium
o Nitrate -nitrite to measure nitrate from the fertilizer
And,
• BOD as an indication of the oxygen demand of the stormwater
My original thinking was that the primary contaminant concerns would be related to direct ammonia toxicity to aquatic
organisms and excess nitrogen loading- That could save the port some money by narrowing it down to:
• Total Ammonia as Nitrogen
And,
• TKN + NO3/NOZ
I was originally on the fence about BOD/COD as t figured knowing the ammonia and nitrogen load would be enough to
detect any wondering UAN.
Any thoughts or concerns? I'm not that familiar with the reclassification (SC to SC swamp) aspect of this so I'll have to
start looking into that.
Max's emall is attached for reference.

Subs RE; Comment Period and Hearing for Lower Cape Fear River Proposed Sw Rettassifkation and Water Quality
Management Plan
It would probably only affect the numbers (stormwater benchmark concentrations) are set to. For example., the
concentration of ammonia in the discharge that would trigger the perrnittee to review any sources and take steps to
remove exposure might be a tower value here than a facility located In the piedmont that monitors that parameter and
discharges to a Class C water. I haven't gotten far enough Into permit development to know whether we'll InCorpurate
other language or stfpulations. We don't usually do that just because of swamp waters. It depends on whether the Port
has had issues with spills, etc. This particular case has the challenge of tidal Influences that the W iRO will have to help
us sort out. The permittee has a tough time getting a sample without river influences commingling with their
discharge. I'm not sure how a swamp redass will affect how or when they sample. but I suppose it could What it might
Impact more is how we'd Interpret up or downstream data in trying to figure out whether storrnwatet discharges are
impacting water quality standards... but that is more on the Implementation/compliance oversight.
I think this area might already be a Primary Nursery Area, so there's that to consider (a lower Total suspended Solids, or
T55, benchmark for our permlttees).

Different benchmarks for stormwater pollutants. They aren't limits, just numbers used as guide to trigger response
actions for stormwater pollution prevention on the permittee's part. Swamp waters have a different pH, for
example. We don't always adjust the pH benchmarks because of that, but it's something we might consider, depending
on the facility.

Betsy,
It looks like this reclass will affect the waters Into which the Port of Wilmington's discharges stormwater. Thank you far
copying us on the Info. That permit is up for renewal and on my desk. We won't have wastewater limits, but we may
have to take other faiths into considerations if these become_ swamp waters: When do you think the reciass would
become final, barring significant public objections?
Chris,
This is something to consider as we're trying tp establish ammonia/TN/TKN (or whatever we decided on) benchmarks
for this site in light of the IIAN fertilizer stored on site there now.
Thanks,

Subject: Comment Period and Hearing for Lower Cape Fear River Proposed Sw Reclassification and Water Quality
Management Plan
Attached Is an announcement for a comment period and an upcoming public hearing for a proposed surface water
reclassification of a section of the Cape Fear River (Brunswick and New Hanover Counties, Cape Fear River Basin) from
Class SC to Class SC Sw Swamp (Sw) with a water quality management plan. The proposed reclassification and
management plan concern the portion of the Cape Fear River from the upstream mouth of Toomers Creek to a line
across the river between lilllput Creek and Snows Cut, where the Intracoastal Waterway meets the river.
The public hearing and comment period are being held In accordance with the federal Water Pollution Control Act (the
Clean Water Act) that requires States to conduct a Triennial Review, which includes an assessment and revision of the
designated uses of waters (classifications) and associated water quality criteria (standards). This announcement will
appear on a few Iistservs, so I apologize In advance ff you receive this information more than once.
Comments on the proposed reclassification and water quality management plan may be submitted in writing, fax, or

Since the last NPDES permit renewal, the following changes have taken place at the NC
State Ports Authority, Prot of Wilmington.
• Currently wood products, logs and woodchips have become the prevalent
commodity that is stored outdoors. We do not have any additional bulk materials
being stored outside at the time and have not in several years.
• We have also installed two 4+ million gallon AST's on the Port. These currently
contain Urea Ammonium Nitrate (UAN liquid fertilizer). The entire vessel
loading and unloading system is fully contained. The loading of trucks and
railcars is also performed in a closed system.
• in an effort to reduce wood fines from entering the collection system, we have
installed several grate inlet protection devices in the area of the log operation.

STORMWATER MONITORING PERIOD: Year 4 Period 1
DATE OF INSPECTION: November 15, 2011
PERSONNEL CONDUCTING INSPECTION: Todd Walton (NCSPA) and Dimitri Talbert (CATUN

POSSIBLE CAUSES FOR BENCHMARK EXCEEDANCE:
Drought conditions with few rain events increase potential pollutant flushing during qualifying
rain events. Rust colored staining was observed on asphalt surrounding stormwater feature.
Potential for analytical interference from ferrous iron associated with Direct Reduced Iron (DRI),
which is stored and transported nearby in an adjacent warehouse structure.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
Ensure lost material (ex. DRI) does not become a potential pollutant source during rain events.
Recommend continued stormwater monitoring as required by the Tier Two provisions in the

DATE OF EXCEEDANCE: November 16, 2010
VALUE(S) OF EXCEEDANCE: Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) —182 mg/L
STORMWATER MONITORING PERIOD: Year 3 Period 1
DATE OF INSPECTION: December 17, 2010
PERSONNEL CONDUCTING INSPECTION: Todd Walton (NCSPA) and Dimitri Talbert (CATUN
Engineers and Scientists)
POSSIBLE CAUSES FOR BENCHMARK EXCEEDANCE:
Some vegetati%Walgal matter was observed in the area where the Vopak North sample was
collected from. However, the Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) analytical results for this area
were well below the benchmark limits. Based on the follow-up inspection and the BOD
analytical results it is believed that COD results were anomalous and therefore not
representative of the oxygen demand for this stormwater feature.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
Due to compliant BOD concentrations, no corrective actions are recommended at this time.
Recommend continued stormwater monitoring as required by NPDES Permit.

PERSONNEL CONDUCTING INSPECTION: Todd Walton (NCSPA) and Dimitri Talbert (CATUN

POSSIBLE CAUSES FOR BENCHMARK EXCEEDANCE:
Matting observed in the area where the Vopak North sample was collected may be
representative of naturally occurring iron -eating bacteria due to the rust -colored nature of the
matting. The biological processes of these bacteria can influence COD concentrations.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
Due to compliant BOD concentrations, no corrective actions are recommended at this time.

POSSIBLE CAUSES FOR BENCHMARK EXCEEDANCE:
Disturbances in the diked containment area adjacent to the Vopak South stormwater monitoring

connected to the Vopak South monitoring location. It is suspected that the exceedance could be
attributed to the leaching of trace metal from suspended solids due to the acidification of the
sample as required for preservation.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
The actions selected to minimize recurrence of lead concentrations above the applicable
benchmark value included the removal of sediment from the Vopak South stormwater feature
and the stabilization of sediment within the diked containment area through vegetative and/or
structural means. This approach should reduce sediment inflow into the stormwater conduit and
mitigate transported sediment that may have influenced the November 11, 2009 analytical lead
concentration results. Recommend continued stormwater monitoring as required by the Tier Two
provisions in the NPDES Permit for the Port of Wilmington.
2010 Update: The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resource

RE: Request for Representative Outfall Status, NC State Ports Authority — Wilmington
Dear Ms. Willis,
Per the July 25, 2012 compliance inspection report of the NC State Ports Authority (NCSPA), the NCSPA
would like to request representative outfall status at the facility. Specifically, I would like to request that
sampling location 1001 A and 902 be removed from the NCSPA sampling requirements and 1001 be made
the representative sampling location. Both 1001 A and 902 are tidally influenced and the
drainage/collection areas of these two locations are the same for 1001.
The NCSPA would also like to request that outfall 1304 be eliminated of analytical requirements. As
discussed and noted during the compliance inspection, the only industrial activity taking place in this area
is fumigation using an aerosol fumigant.
The NCSPA would also like to request that outfall 1704 be removed from monitoring. This location
consistently reflects high COD demand due to the debarking operation in the area. When the debarking
process is not in operation, COD levels fall to well below benchmark levels. Inlet protection has been
installed at all storm water inlets in the area to eliminate solids and fines from entering the collection
system and leaving the site.
If you need anything else, please call [phone] or email me at [e-mail]
Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

the only industrial activity taking place in this area is fumigation using an aerosol fumigant and storage of
containers, similar to the operation taking place in the outfall 2006 drainage area.
The NCSPA would also like to request that outfall 1704 be removed from monitoring. This location
consistently reflects high COD demand due to the debarking operation in the area. When the debarking
process is not in operation, COD levels fall to well below benchmark levels. Inlet protection has been
installed at all storm water inlets in the area to eliminate solids and fines from entering the collection
system and leaving the site. The Ports also is continuing to implement BMP's for this area and alternative
methods for improving, storm water from this area.

Subject: Stormwater Permit Renewal for Port of Wilmington
Hi, Todd,
I know it's been a very long time for us to get to the permit renewals for the Wilmington and Morehead City ports, but
we have finally been able to pick them up again.
I have a question about the two 4 MG UAN fertilizer ASTs that were installed at Wilmington. I am looking for them on
the site plan but may be missing them. Where are these located at Wilmington's Port, and which outfalls drain
stormwater from that area?

Summary for the Selection of an Ammonia Stormwater Benchmark for Port of Wilmington
The NC DWR Classifications, Standards & Rules Review Branch staff recommend that the existing bre huvater'storrsiwatert
enct�rrafk, ofF'84ki=ig NH3-N/L be used for monitoring Total Ammonia as Nitrogen (TAN) at the Port of Wilmington
facility in Wilmington, NC. This recommendation is based on a review of the EPA 1999 Update of Ambient Water Quality
Criteria for Ammonia (EPA-822-R-99-014), the EPA 1989 Ambient Water Quality Criteria for Ammonia (Saltwater)
(EPA440/5-88-OD4), and surface water quality data from the NC DWR Ambient Monitoring System (AMS) station
B9740000 for 2008-2013.
The Port of Wilmington releases stormwater to the Northeast Cape Fear
River. The storage of Urea Ammonium Nitrate on -site and the potential for
stormwater to come into contact with this material has prompted the
investigation into what criteria would be applicable for monitoring ammonia
in stormwater for this facility. Since the stormwater drains into a tidally -
influenced stretch of the Cape Fear River, this investigation has focused on
determining what influence salinity has on the toxicity and measurement of
ammonia and what criteria would be most appropriate for establishing a
stormwater benchmark that is protective of aquatic life.
Ammonia toxicity is dependent on the equilibrium ratio of ionized (NH4`) to unionized (NH3) ammonia in water with the
unionized form being most toxic to aquatic organisms. This equilibrium is dependent on temperature, pH and, to a
lesser extent, salinity. As the temperature and pH in aquatic environments increases, toxicity increases as the
equilibrium ratio shifts towards a prevalence of NH3. Increasing salinity, however, shifts the equilibrium back towards
ionized ammonia, causing a slight decrease in toxicity_ Analysis of five years of data (2008-2013) for AMS station
B9740000 reveals an average summer (April -September) temperature of 25°C, an average winter (October -March)
temperature of 13°C, an average pH of 6.96 S.U., and an average salinity of 10 parts per thousand (ppt).
Based on this environmental data, saltwater stormwater benchmarks for Total Ammonia as Nitrogen of 36 mg NH3-N/L
(25 °C, pH 7.0, and 10 ppt) for summer and 87 mg NH3-N/L (13 °C, pH 7.0, and 10 ppt) for winter can be determined using
the EPA saltwater ammonia criteria document mentioned above. However, while establishing a saltwater stormwater
benchmark for TAN' may seem appropriate due to the facility being situated on a tidal water body with an average
salinity of 10 ppt, analysis of the salinity data from AMS station B9740000 reveals that salinity levels near the facility
show a high degree of variability. These salinity values fluctuate between freshwater and saltwater conditions (min 0.06
ppt, max 21.6 ppt) and do not appear to be related to any external environmental conditions such as seasonal variation,
precipitation, or tidal flow. Since 11.5% of all data points fail below 0.9 ppt, and freshwater is considered as 5 0.9 ppt
(equivalent to 500 mg/L chloride) per 15A NCAC 02B .0204, the current stormwater ammonia benchmark of 8.44 mg NH3-
N/L for freshwater seems most appropriate as it would be protective of a "worst case scenario" in which stormwater
from the facility is being released into fresh surface water.

Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under NPDES Permit NCS000174. This permit
expires on 2/28/2013. To assure consideration for continued coverage under your individual permit, you
must apply to the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) for renewal of your permit Enclosed you will find an
individual permit Renewal Application Form, Supplemental Information request, and Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan Certification for your facility.
Filing the application form along with the requested supplemental information will constitute your
application for renewal of this permit Until your permit renewal is completed and you receive a new permit,
please continue to comply with all conditions and monitoring requirements in your expired NPDES
stormwater permit.
The application and supplement must be completed and returned to DWQ by September 1. 2012 Failure to
request renewal within this time period will result in delay of your permit renewal and may result in a civil
assessment Discharge of stormwater from your facility without coverage under a valid stormwater NPDES
permit would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and could result in assessments of civil penalties of up
to $25,000 per day.
if you have any questions regarding permit renewal procedures please contact Brian Lowther of the

are definitely not getting a sample that represents the runoff from the Port if you are sampling something commingled with tide
waters. We do have situations with other permittees where their outfalls proper just do not lend themselves to the best
sampling points - for example, when the flow joins a stream from a neighbor's property; or, when getting to the outfall means
you're likely to cross paths with an angry copperhead, and sampling some tens of feet upstream in a safer place allows just as
good of a sample of the runoff from your site's activities. In those cases, we fully expect the permittee to move "up the line"
and sample the point nearest to the outfall, where the runoff is not mixing with something else. That strategy may or may not
be feasible for one or both of your Ports's outfalls. I'll discuss with lean and be in touch as we move forward with draft permit
development.
Best,
Bethany

Subject- RE: Stormwater Permit Renewal - Morehead City
Bethany,

Here are the results from 2011. 1 left you a message as I would like to discuss my main challenge in MHC. All of the storm
water features on the port in MHC are impacted by high tide. This causes a problem because if we have a rain event, we can
only sample during an ebb tide otherwise sampling during a high tide would basically just be like sampling the sound waters. It
really puts us in a bind as far as collection and we have barely made the deadline for sample collection the last couple of years
because of this. Currently we have yet to be able to collect samples for this half of 2014. What can we do to alleviate this
challenge? Can we collect samples from flow leading into the drains? We actually went as far as to sample the sound and
river waters and had them tested for BOD and COD as we have a few collections points that run anywhere from 900-2100+ for
COD. (the attached 2011 results show this). The water collected from the sound and river had COD levels at 30,900mg/I and
2,730mg/I respectively.
We also have the same issue in Wilmington with high tide conditions, Jean Conway was onsite a couple of weeks ago and
observed the high tide conditions at almost all sampling locations in Wilmington.
Please give me a call to discuss.

Subject: Stormwater Permit Renewal - Morehead City
Hi Todd,
We are beginning to work on the stormwater discharge permit renewals for Wilmington and Morehead City, and I had a
question about the Morehead City (NCS000173) application. I found copies of DMR monitoring data for 2010 and 2012. Were
the sampling data for 2011 omitted from that package for some reason? Do you have a copy that you can send me?
Thank you,

Specifically, I remember that these ports only monitor a select set of "representative outfalls" named in the permit (which were
established years ago before I ever did the first one for Morehead). This time around, think about whether we need to specify
all the outfalls in the permit and just list monitoring for those we still agree should have ROS? We need to think about it in the
wake of how we are having to handle permits for the Duke facilities (every outfall must be listed). These are more like MS4s,
however, so we might not need to modify the permit structure too much - we just need to make sure records and maps of every
outfall are kept up to date in the Ports' SPPP.

Thanks Bethany,
These will be very helpful.
On another note, do you know who, if anyone, is working on the renewal permits for the NC State Ports NCS000174 and
NCCS000173?
I am scheduled to do an inspection of the Wilmington State Port for various S&EC projects as well as a complaint involving there
NPDES discharge.
Todd Walton informed me that neither of the ports Wilmington or Morehead has had an active permit in three years.
It would be good if I know what the hold up is and what issues I should be looking into during my inspection.
The last inspection in BIMS was conducted in 2012 by Linda Willis and Jim Gregson with some sampling issues mentions.
Several changes have been made since that time such as additional facilities.
Please send me any relevant information or pass this on to whoever is working on it.
It would be very helpful to get any pertinent details before my visit on Thursday.
Thanks for all you help,

Jean,
I'm still looking into putting up PNAs on DWR's waterbody classifications map (see the latest NC Surface Water Classifications
Map). Melanie Williams in Riverbasin Planning is on the case. In the meantime, I think this link will also have the very latest
ORWs and HQWs, so please share with your colleagues. Actually — I'll just forward you what I got from Melanie with all the
maps!

I spoke to Todd so that he is aware of the situation at the site (Yeldese (sp?) Integra) near the North Gate and that you would be
following up. According to Todd, they are covered under the Port's NPDES permit and he is not aware of any violations. His
direct number at the Port is 251-5678.
Let me know of ways I may assist.

Mr. Michael Benton registered a complaint to Cameron and me regarding a pulp wood facility at the NC Port. Robb Mairs is
familiar with it, identifying the facility as Turkish owned (Yuleze Integra ?). Either Cameron or Robb will most likely speak to
Todd Walton with the Port Authority about it.
We need to determine if the site is in violation of NPDES. Coordinate with any and all involved (if you don't know Todd, Trentt
can speak to me) to locate the facility and plan an inspection.

Since the last NPDES permit renewal, the following changes have taken place at the NC
State Ports Authority, Prot of Wilmington.
• Currently wood products, logs and woodchips have become the prevalent
conunodity that is stored outdoors. We do not have any additional bulk materials
being stored outside at the time and have not in several years.
• We have also installed two 4+ million gallon AST's on the Port. These currently
contain Urea Ammonium Nitrate (UAN liquid fertilizer). The entire vessel
loading and unloading system is fully contained. The loading of trucks and
railcars is also performed in a closed system.
• In an effort to reduce wood fines from entering the collection system, we have
installed several grate inlet protection devices in the area of the log operation.

NCSOOO 174
Central Office Review Summary:
1. Owner's Other Permits: NIA
2. General Observations: Wilmington Port appears to stay in compliance with permit conditions; keep documents,
practices, and site in good order from a stormwater quality viewpoint. Have various port activities —
loadingfunloading cranes at waters edge, warehouse storage, outside container storage, fuel oil storage, equipment
maintenance, hopper washing, fumigation, rail/locomotive equipment and maintenance,
3. Impairment: 303(d) list states the Cape Fear River is impaired for aquatic life and has standard violations for
turbidity, low DO and low pH — source(s) unknown. Basinwide Plan states that these low DO and pH values
could be in part due to the swamp waters that drain to this section of the river. TMDL to address low DO and
pH was submitted to EPA in 2005.
4. Threatened and Endangered: This section of the river is shown to be a significant natural heritage area with 27
element occurrences. Includes Federal Endangered Shortnose Sturgeon and West Indian Manatee; Federal
Threatened American Alligator.
5. Location: 2202 Burnett Blvd, Wilmington, NC
6. Industrial Changes Since Previous Permit: None
7, Analytical Monitoring Notes: A few samples over current benchmarks for low pH, TSS, Total Lead, and COD.
None over benchmarks for BOD or Oil & Grease where sampled. No known explanation for the low pH
readings recorded for three of the samples.
8. Oualitative Monitoring Notes: performed as required, no items of note.

Revised Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring:
1. Based on monitoring results, pH, TSS, COD, and Total Lead will stay in the analytical monitoring requirements.
Based on the river being impaired due to low DO, BOD will also stay in the monitoring requirements.
2. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as defined in Part II
Section B. The permittee must also document the total precipitation for each event. If no discharge occurs
during. the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating "No Flow" within 30 days
of the end of the six-month sampling period. Additionally, samples must be taken a minimum of 60 days apart,
as specified in Table 2.
3. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring have been added to this draft permit. Exceedances of benchmark values
require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or
install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. If the sampling results are above a
benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at any outfall then the facility shall
follow the Tier 1 guidelines which require a facility inspection within two weeks and implementation of a
mitigation plan within two months. If during the term of this permit, the sampling results are above the
benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall
two times in a row (consecutive), then the facility shall follow the Tier 2 guidelines which require a repetition of
the steps listed for Tier I and also immediately institute monthly monitoring for all parameters at every outfall
where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples.
4. The permittee is required to collect all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during representative
storm events as defined in Part II Section B. Qualitative monitoring is required regardless of representative
outfall status.
5. The permittee is responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote I of Tables 1, 4,
and 5.
6. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall parameter is in
this permit, however.)
7. Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with analytical and
qualitative monitoring.
Other Proposed Changes to the Previous Permit:
1. Additional guidance is provided about the Site Plan requirements. The site map must now identify if the
receiving stream is impaired and if it has a TMDL established. It must also describe potential pollutants in each
outfall. The map requirements are stated more explicitly. And, the site plan must contain a list of significant
spills that have occurred in the past three years and also must certify that the outfalls have been inspected to
ensure that they do not contain non-stormwater discharges. Additional information is provided in Part II Section
A.
2. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Management Plan have been specified in Part II Section A. More
details regarding secondary containment are provided.
3. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been specified in Part II Section A.
The plan must also be updated annually to include a list of significant spills and to certify that the outfalls do not
contain non-stormwater discharges.
4. The facility must now implement a semi-annual Facility Inspection Program of the site's stormwater
management controls as specified in Part II Section A.
1. Information regarding the No Exposure Exclusion has been added to this draft permit. If industrial materials and
activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described in 40 CFR § I22.26(g), the facility may qualify
for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES stormwater discharge permit requirements. Additional information
is provided in Part I Section A.
Discussions with permittee: Todd Walton, 910-763-1681, December 3 and 19, 2007
1. Q: Qualitative monitoring results? Submitted sampling schedule but not actual observations.
Page 8 of 10

NCS000174
a. ANSWER: will submit summary of visual monitoring results.
2. Q. Copy of Section A (potential pollutant sources) or SP3.
a. ANSWER: will submit legend/key for potential pollutant sources.
3. Q: I was told that atone point the wastewater guys here were wondering about a wastewater permit for the VOPAK
site. Did anything ever happen with this site; or are there any issues with that site?
a. ANSWER: No, still under port's ww permit.
4. Q: Is there any wet decking in the wood chip storage area?
a. ANSWER: No, there are no wood chips there. It is being used to store steel for the past three years.
5. Q: Do you have any thoughts on the causes of the low pH readings from the 12/5/03 samples and the 2/17/04
sample? Was there any spills that may have contributed to this?
a. ANSWER: No thoughts on cause of low pH. There have been no spills in the past 10 years.

SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1. All
analytical monitoring shall be performed during a representative storm event. The required
monitoring will result in a minimum of ten analytical samplings being conducted over the term of
the permit at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO).
A representative storm event is a storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall
and that is preceded by at least 72 hours in which no storm event measuring greater than 0.1
inches has occurred. A single storm event may contain up to 10 consecutive hours of no
precipitation. For example, if it rains for 2 hours without producing any collectable discharge,
and then stops, a sample may be collected if a rain producing a discharge begins again within the
next 10 hours. -A- -,7

4. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the _S ot7mwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
During the terra of this permit, if the:sampling results exceed the benchmark value, or are outside
the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at any specific outfall on more than four
occasions, DWQ may:
• Require that the perrnittee-increase or decrease the monitoring frequency for the
remainder of the permit;
• require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls:
• require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures; or
• require that the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for the No Exposure
Exclusion.
This site discharges to impaired waters experiencing problems with turbidity, low dissolved
oxygen, and low pH. If a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is approved for this segment of
the Cape Fear River, the permittee may be required to monitor for the pollutant(s) of concem-in
the future and submit results to the Division of Water Quality. The Division will consider the
monitoring results in determining whether additional BMPs are needed to control the pollutant(s)
of concern to the maximum extent practicable.
If additional BMPs are needed to achieve the required level of control, the permittee will be
required to (1) develop a strategy for implementing appropriate BMPs, and (2) submit a timetable
for incorporation of those BMPs into the permitted Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.

Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit
Permit No. NCS000174
N.C. State Port Authority - WiIrnington
New Hanover County
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. Please review the draft
very carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains.
The draft permit contains the following significant changes from this facility's current permit: -
Analytical monitoring changes:
1. All monitoring parameters have been continued since the previous permit.
2. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as
defined in PartII Section B. The permittee must also document the total precipitation for each
event. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a
monitoring report indicating "No Flow" within 30 days of the end of the six-month sampling
period. Additionally, samples must be taken a minimum of 60 days apart, as specified in Table 2.
3. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring have been added to this draft permit. Exceedances of
benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions,
increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered
program. If the sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark
range, for any parameter at any outfall then the facility shall follow the Tier 1 guidelines which
require a facility inspection within two weeks and implementation of a mitigation plan within
two months. If during the term of this permit, the sampling results are above the benchmark
values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific discharge
outfall two times in a row (consecutive), then the facility shall follow the Tier 2 guidelines which
require a repetition, of the steps listed for Tier 1 and also immediately institute monthly
monitoring for all parameters at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark
value for two consecutive samples.
4. You are required to collect all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during
representative storm events as defined in Part II Section B. Qualitative monitoring is required
regardless of representative outfall status.
5. You are responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote 1 of
Tables 1, 4, and 5.
6. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall
parameter is in this permit, however.)
7. Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with
analytical and qualitative monitoring. This requirement appears in all Individual Stormwater
permits, however it only applies to facilities that do vehicle maintenance. If the facility begins
vehicle maintenance during the permitted timeframe then the requirements shall apply.

Other permit changes:
1. Additional guidance is provided about the Site Plan requirements. The site map must now
identify if the receiving stream is impaired and if it has a TMDL established. It must also
describe potential pollutants in each outfall. The map requirements are stated more explicitly.
And, the site plan must -contain a list of significant spills that have occurred in the past three
years and.als mo ust certify that the outfalls have been inspected to ensure that they do not
contain non-stormwater'discharges. Additional information is provided in Part II Section A.
2. AdditionaI requirements for the Stormwater Management Plan have been specified in Part H
Section A. More details regarding secondary containment are provided.
3. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been specified in
Part II Section A. The plan must also be updated annually to include a list of significant spills
and to certify that the outfalls do not contain non-stormwater discharges.
4. The facility must now implement a semi-annual Facility Inspection Program of the site's
stormwater management controls as specified in Part II Section A.
5. Information regarding the No Exposure Exclusion has been added to this draft permit. If
industrial materials and activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described in 40
CFR §122.26(g), the facility may qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES stormwater
discharge permit requirements. Additional information is provided in Part I Section A.
Please note that your facility drains to an area where there are threatened and endangered species. The
Shortnose Sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum) and the West Indian Manatee (Trichechus manatus) are
endangered species that have been identified near your facility. The American alligator (Alligator
mississippiensis) is a threatened species that has been identified near your facility. Failure to abide by
your stormwater permit may constitute violation of the Threatened and Endangered Species Act.
Please submit any comments to me no later than thirty (30) days following your receipt of the draft.
Comments should be sent to the address listed at the bottom of #hiss page. If no adverse comments are
received from the public or from you, this permit will likely be issued in about two months.
If you have any questions or comments concerning this draft permit, contact Robert Patterson at (919)

stormwater discharges. The certification statement will be signed in accordance with
the requirements found in Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B. Paragraph 3.
2. Stormwater Management Plan. The stormwater management plan shall contain a
narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or
minimize the exposure of significant materials to stormwaier, including structural and
nonstructural measures. The stormwater management plan, at a minimum, shall
incorporate the following:
a. Feasibility Study. A review of the technical and economic feasibility of changing
the methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure
of materials and processes to stormxx ater.' Wherever practical, the permittee shall
prevent exposure of all storage areas, material handling operations, and
manufacturing or fueling operations_ 19 areas where elimination of exposure is
not practical, the stormwater management plan shall document the feasibility of
diverting the stormwater runoff away from areas of potential contamination.
b. Secondary Containment, Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is
required for: bulk storage of liquid materials: storage in any amount of Section
313 of Title III of the.Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA)
water priority`chemicals; and storage in any amount of hazardous substances to
prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. A table or
summary of all such tanks and stored materials and their associated secondary
containment areas shall be maintained. If the secondary containment devices are
connected directly to stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be
controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices which shall be
secured closed with a locking mechanism. and any stormwater that accumulates in
the containment area shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam,
outfall staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the
accumulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to
be uncontaminated by the material stored within the containment area. Records
documenting the individual making the observation, the description of the
accumulated stormwater and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a
period of five (5) years.
C. BMP Summary. A narrative description shall be provided of Best Management
Practices (BMPs) to be considered such as, but not limited to, oil and grease
separation, debris control, vegetative filter strips, infiltration and stormwater
detention or retention, where necessary. The need for structural BMPs shall be
based on the assessment of the potential of pollutant sources to contribute

significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected
through monitoring of stormwater discharges.
3. Spill Prevention and Response Plan. The Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP)
shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials
inventory of the facility. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the
SPRP shall be identified. A responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility
operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or
exposure of materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP must be site
stormwater specific. Therefore, an oil SPCC plan may be a component of the SPRP, but
may not be sufficient to completely address the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The
common elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may be incorporated by reference into the
SPRP.'
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping -.Program.- A preventative
r .ti
maintenance program shall be developed. The.program shall document schedules of
inspections and maintenance activities of storrtiw ": :control systems, plant equipment
and systems. Inspection of material handling"areas'ana'regular cleaning schedules of

design, construction, operation, or maintenance that has a significant effect on the
potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. The Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. The annual update
shall include an updated list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous
three years, or the notation that no spills have occurred. The annual update shall include
re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-
stormwater discharges.
The Director may notify the permittee when the Plan does not meet one or more of the
minimum requirements of the permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee shall
submit a time schedule to the Director for modifying the Plan to meet minimum
requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with
Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3) to the Director that the changes
have been made.

SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1. All
analytical monitoring shall be performed during a representative storm event. The required
monitoring will result in a minimum of ten analytical samplings being conducted over the term of
the permit at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO).
A representative storm event is a storm event that measures greater than 0-1 inches of rainfall
and that is preceded by at least 72 hours in which no storm event measuring greater than 0.1
inches has occurred. A single storm event may contain up to 10 consecutive hours of no
precipitation. For example, if it rains for 2 hours without producing any collectable discharge,
and then stops, a sample may be collected if rain producing a discharge begins again within the
next 10 hours.

Revised Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring:
1. Based on monitoring results, pH, TSS, COD, and Total Lead will stay in the analytical monitoring requirements.
Based on the river being impaired due to low DO, BOD will also stay in the monitoring requirements.
2. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as defined in Part II
Section B. The permittee must also document the total precipitation for each event. If no discharge occurs
during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating "No Flow" within 30 days
of the end of the six-month sampling period. Additionally, samples must be taken a minimum of 60 days apart,
as specified in Table 2.
3. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring have been added to this draft permit. Exceedances of benchmark values
require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or
install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. If the sampling results are above a
benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at any outfall then the facility shall
follow the Tier 1 guidelines which require a facility inspection within two weeks and implementation of a
mitigation plan within two months. If during the term of this permit, the sampling results are above the
benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall
two times in a row (consecutive), then the facility shall follow the Tier 2 guidelines which require a repetition of
the steps listed for Tier I and also immediately institute monthly monitoring for all parameters at every outfall
where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples.
4. The permittee is required to collect all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during representative
storm events as defined in Part H Section B. Qualitative monitoring is required regardless of representative
outfall status.
5. The permittee is responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote 1 of Tables 1, 4,
and 5.
6. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall parameter is in
this permit, however.)
7. Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with analytical and
qualitative monitoring.
Other Proposed Changes to the Previous Permit:
1. Additional guidance is provided about the Site Plan requirements. The site map must now identify if the
receiving stream is impaired and if it has a TMDL established. It must also describe potential pollutants in each
outfall. The map requirements are stated more explicitly. And, the site plan must contain a list of significant
spills that have occurred in the past three years and also must certify that the outfalls have been inspected to
ensure that they do not contain non-stormwater discharges. Additional information is provided in Part lI Section
A.
2. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Management Plan have been specified in Part II Section A. More
details regarding secondary containment are provided.
3. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been specified in Part H Section A.
The plan must also be updated annually to include a list of significant spills and to certify that the outfalls do not
contain non-stormwater discharges.
4. The facility must now implement a semi-annual Facility Inspection Program of the site's stormwater
management controls as specified in Part II Section A.
1. Information regarding the No Exposure Exclusion has been added to this draft permit. If industrial materials and
activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described in 40 CFR § 122.26(g), the facility may qualify
for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES stormwater discharge permit requirements. Additional information
is provided in Part.1 Section A.
Discussions with permittee: Todd Walton, 910-763-1681, December 3 and 19, 2007
1. Q: Qualitative monitoring results? Submitted sampling schedule but not actual observations.
Page 8 of 10

NCS000174
a. ANSWER: will submit summary of visual monitoring results.
2. Q: Copy of Section A (potential pollutant sources) or SP3.
a. ANSWER: will submit legend/key for potential pollutant sources.
3. Q: I was told that at one point the wastewater guys here were wondering about a wastewater permit for the VOPAK
site. Did anything ever happen with this site; or are there any issues with that site?
a. ANSWER: No, still under port's ww permit.
4. Q: is there any wet decking in the wood chip storage area?
a. ANSWER: No, there are no wood chips there. It is being used to store steel for the past three years.
5. Q: Do you have any thoughts on the causes of the low pH readings from the 12/5/03 samples and the 2/17/04
sample? Was there any spills that may have contributed to this?
a. ANSWER: No thoughts on cause of low pH. There have been no spills in the past 10 years.
