The following sections describe the Castle Hayne Plant's BMP approach. Currently Employed Best Management Practices 1) Good Housekeeping The Castle Hayne Plant employs the use of Good Housekeeping practices to maintain areas, which may contribute pollutants to storm water, discharges in a clean and orderly manner. Good housekeeping practices are stressed in all employee training programs. The following paragraphs describe what Castle Hayne does to insure the site is kept clean: Operation and Maintenance: All plant personnel strive to maintain dry and clean floors and ground surfaces in their work areas. Plant crews regularly pick up and dispose of garbage and waste material. As part of their daily routine, all plant personnel make sure that equipment is working properly and inspected for leaks or conditions which could lead to discharges of chemicals or contact of storm water with raw materials, intermediate materials, waste materials, or products. Employee Participation: Safe Work Permits are utilized as a means to ensure good housekeeping standards are maintained and followed. Clean up is part of every job and the Work Permit is not signed by.Operations if the job site is not cleaned satisfactory. Employees are also involved in the S. A. F. E. Sample program and are encouraged to observe routine tasks and make suggestions on improving the safety and housekeeping of those tasks. Communications: Good housekeeping is also stressed at both informal daily meetings. All employees are instructed to make sure their work areas are kept clean and inspected for leaks or other conditions which might affect the quality of storm water run-off and report such items to supervision as noted. Inspections: Routine housekeeping inspections are made by supervision on a regular basis though the Planned Inspection Program and random S. A. F. E. Samples (Castle Hayne's job observation program). The inspection results are documented and sent to the HSE Department. 2) Preventive Maintenance The Castle Hayne Plant has a preventive maintenance program in place for its plant operations which involves the regular inspection and testing of plant equipment and operational systems to uncover conditions which could result in discharges of chemicals to the plant storm water conveyance system and to the surrounding surface waters. More specifically, the Castle Hayne Plant's preventive maintenance program includes the following areas: Scheduled Routine Preventive Maintenance: All essential equipment such as pumps, motors, power supply equipment, control devices, sensing and analyzing devices, and rotating equipment are routinely tested, lubed, calibrated and otherwise inspected to ensure their proper operation. Critical transfer piping is routinely tested. Results are documented and noted defects are corrected as required. • Identification Of Equipment To Test: Various plant programs or regulatory requirements call for the routine inspection of pipes, pumps, storage tanks and bins, pressure vessels, pressure relief valves, process and material handling equipment, and the process wastewater treatment facility. • Mobile Equipment Inspections: Routine daily inspection reports are completed on all moving equipment, including cranes, towmotors, lifts, and the switch engine. Needed repairs made accordingly to ensure against leakage of fuel and lubricants which might otherwise enter the Plant storm water system. • Inspections: Scheduled, as well as unscheduled inspections, are conducted to inspect and examine for leaks, corrosion, support or foundation distress signs, or other form or signs of deterioration, spills, or leaks. • Equipment Repair or Replacement: Castle Hayne's program provides for the prompt and timely repair or replacement of any equipment found to be defective during its inspection and testing. • Records of Preventive Maintenance: As part of its on -going program, the Castle Hayne Plant keeps detailed records of its maintenance operations, which include the maintaining of a record system to schedule tests and document inspection results. These records are retained on -site. 3) Removal, Cover, or Control of Industrial Activities The Castle Hayne Plant strives to eliminate whenever possible the inclusion of process area rainfall and runoff from entering storm water discharges. Storm water that falls in process areas of the plant is either collected and used in the process or drained to an internal storm water system for treatment before being discharged through permitted industrial discharges. To accomplish these goals, the following practices are employed: Process Area Design: To reduce the chances for release of materials and chemicals which can cause storm water run-off pollution, process areas are designed to contain any storm water that falls on them. These designs include curbed process areas, lined trench systems, paved roadways and areas beneath pipe racks, an internal storm water collection system, and grading designed to prevent runoff. Material Storage Practices: The Castle Hayne Plant employs measures to insure the safe storage materials to prevent leaks and reduce the possibility of runoff to storm water discharges. These measures include providing adequate secondary containment for all product, fuel, and process storage tanks; storing all containers, drums, and bags in covered warehouses to prevent exposure to the weather; providing clearly marked aisle space to facilitate easy access for inspections; storing products away from direct traffic routes to prevent accidental spills; stacking containers according to manufacturers' instructions to avoid damaging containers from improper weight distribution; and storing containers on pallets or similar devices to prevent corrosion of the containers which can result when containers come in contact with moisture on the ground. • Material Transportation within the Plant: All hazardous material piping is run above ground, so leaks are readily detectable and less difficult to remediate. Areas beneath overhead piping are paved and curbed whenever possible to catch potential leaks and prevent them from reaching groundwater or storm water discharges. Regular inspection of this piping is an integral part of the plant's process safety mechanical integrity program designed to prevent pipe failures. • Material Inventory Procedures: The use of sound material tracking and inventory practices is an integral part of the Castle Hayne Plant's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). Such practices include identifying all chemical substances present in the workplace; maintaining an up-to-date set of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for each chemical; labeling all containers to show the name and type of substance contained, clear identification and marking on the inventory of hazardous materials using Hazardous Material Identification System (HMIS). 4) Visual Inspections Regular visual inspections are performed to insure that all the elements of the SWPPP are in place and working properly. Such inspections are meant to be a routine look -over of the facility to identify conditions, which may give rise to contamination of storm water run-off with pollutants from the plant. Items covered by the visual inspections include areas around all process and maintenance equipment; areas where spills and leaks have occurred in the past; material storage areas; material handling areas; outdoor material processing areas; and waste generation, storage, treatment and disposal areas. Formal inspections of the stormwater conveyances are also conducted at least twice annually. • Implementation of Visual Inspection Plan: As part of its plant operations, Castle Hayne has an on -going visual inspection program which every employee carries out during the normal course of their duties at the plant. This program has been expanded to cover storm water considerations. • Stormwater Conveyance Inspections: Stormwater conveyances and outfall locations are inspected twice per year at a minimum. These inspections are performed in conjunction with and recorded in the field notebook along with the spring and fall visual monitoring. If erosion or other problems are found, notifications are generated to correct any deficiencies in a timely manner. The results of the stormwater conveyance inspection are also documented in the SWPPP. 5) Spill Prevention and Response The Castle Hayne Plant has developed the SPCC plan for the plant, which addresses the subject of spill prevention and response. The purpose of the plan is to prevent and control discharges of oil from spill events that have the potential to reach navigable waterways of both the State of North Carolina and the United States. It details the duties and responsibilities of both trained and non -trained responders. The plan is reviewed at least once every three years and will be amended as necessary to include more effective spill prevention and control technology. Highlights of the SPCC plan include: • Facility Spill History and Potential: The SPCC Plan reviews the history of previous spills at the facility and the actions taken to prevent their recurrence. Locations of the plant with the potential for fuel spills are also identified and spill scenarios are described. Steps taken to reduce or eliminate such potential spills from reaching storm water discharges are outlined. • Storm Water Drainage, Management, and Control: The storm water drainage locations are identified and the areas of the facility, which drain to each of them, are defined. Measures to control the drainage patterns and prevent the possibilities of spills reaching the storm water discharges are listed. • Bulk Storage Tanks: All the fuel storage tanks are identified and described in detail. Their design criteria and measures to insure their continued integrity are outlined, as well as a description of the secondary containment provided for each vessel. • Drum Storage and Management: Drums used for the storing and dispensing of oils and oil related materials could adversely impact the environment if they are not managed properly. The SPCC plan describes procedures for managing drums at the plant by defining their storage locations, secondary containment measures, and spill cleanup plans for each transfer point. • Unloading and Transfer Operations: The SPCC plan outlines the unloading and transfer of fuels throughout the plant. The containment for unloading and pumping operations are described in detail, as well as methods for inspecting their condition, maintaining their integrity, and defining the potential for leaks and spills throughout the system. • Inspections and Records: Two inspection programs have been developed for the purpose of preventing releases of oil and other related petroleum products. The first is a weekly visual inspection of the bulk storage tank, drum storage area, and fuel transfer locations to check the physical condition of the storage vessels, check for leaks and spills, and drain the containment structures of storm water as needed. The second is a random maintenance inspection of the bulk storage tanks and support structures which includes visual as well as non-destructive testing methods. Other plant inspection programs designed to address the operational, safety, environmental, and general working conditions of the plant's key operating equipment are also included on a regular basis. 6) Sediment and Erosion Control Plant areas that may be subject to routine vehicular traffic are covered with stone to minimize erosion potential, while areas that are not exposed are grassed. Areas outside the main production areas that have not been developed remain naturally wooded. Areas under construction contain silt fences as needed to control sedimentation runoff. 7) Management of Runoff All storm water falling in the process areas of the plant is either processed within the area or collected and sent to the wastewater treatment area to be treated before discharging. Natural vegetative swails and ditches are used for the conveyance of storm water to Outfalls 004 and 005. All areas draining to these outfalls travel across sections of natural vegetation to help control sedimentation runoff. 8) Employee Training Facility personnel responsible for managing hazardous wastes, materials, and oil are required to attend hazardous waste training. In addition, each site employee undergoes annual stormwater pollution prevention training annually. Employee training records are maintained on site. 9) Recordkeeping Records are maintained on site for all formal inspections, preventative maintenance work, employee training, and visual storm water inspections. In addition, copies of all agency correspondence and Incident/Release reports are kept on file.

However, I also note that footnote 2 to the same table references a 'six-month sampling period'. I think this internal inconsistency in the permit text is accidental, and should be resolved in favor of the six-month footnote reference: Our typical practice in other permits is to divide the year into two six-month periods. There is no evidence in the permit development file to suggest a basis for this unusual arrangement. o This arrangement is so unusual, that I would certainly expect the permit writer to have made a written note of the basis for this arrangement when the permit was renewed. There is no such note in the file. So, here's what I think Elementis Chromium you should do: • Please consider that the sample you obtained in May 2012 is for Sampling Period 4 (erroneously noted as Dec 1, 2011— April 30, 2012 in Table 2 of the permit); do not send us your'No Discharge This Period' report. • Please obtain a second semi-annual sample before the end of the year 2012. • Please send us a written request to revise your sampling schedule to two six-month periods per year. • Note: I've arranged these recommendations so that we can switch to a January —June period, and a July — December period. I'm trying to take advantage of the provisions in North Carolina rule that give us the freedom to make minor modifications to an individual stormwoter permit on two counts: in the case of an obvious minor error like a typo, and in the case of minor modifications to a sampling program, without going through the whole administrative processes that usually attend a permit modification. I'm trying to set you up with a corrected, and easy to remember schedule. • Once we receive your request, we will send you a letter amending your permit schedule through April of 2015; and we will incorporate the corrected schedule into the revised text at the next renewal of your permit (in April 2015.) • 1 would like to give Linda Willis the opportunity to object to these changes, if it turns out that she has information suggesting that the permit sample periods were deliberately set up as 5 months and 7 months.

I recently noticed that the monitoring schedule listed in the permit has a 7 month monitoring period for odd sample numbers and a 5 month monitoring period for even sampling numbers. According to the monitoring schedule, the monitoring period for sample number 4 ended April 30. We collected sample number 3 at the end of the monitoring period, so we only had three months to collect the sample because we are required to wait 60 days between samples. I was going to report non -discharge for the period; however, we did collect a stormwater sample in May, so technically we have collected a stormwater sample within a six month period. Can you please respond with your advice on how to proceed (ie should we submit non -discharge for the period or should we submit the May sample as period 4 sample and modify the monitoring schedule to reflect a 6 month monitoring period)?

Sullins ee Freeman Director 7BY: EIVED Secretary March 9, 2010 12 2010 _-- Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit Permit No. NCS000003 Elementis Chromium Castle Hayne Kant 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. A site visit was conducted on February 3, 2010. The two current sampling locations are taken "in stream" and are therefore diluted and not representative of stormwater leaving the site. During the site visit another outfall was identified that was not in the SPPP. This outfall appears to be the one that should be representative of stormwater on the site. We recommend discontinuing of monitoring at the previous two outfalls. The draft permit contains the following significant changes from this facility's current permit: Analytical monitoring changes: 1. Analytical monitoring parameters, Chromium and Nitrate plus Nitrite Nitrogen, have been added to this Permit. 2. pH has been added to the analytical monitoring requirements. 3. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-atmually 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 specifies: in Table 2. 4. 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.

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�sfatus:'.: 6. You are responsible for all 'rnonitc ring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote 1 of Tables 1, 4, and 5. 7. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. ( lie total rainfall parameter is in this permit, however.) S. Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with analytical and qualitative monitoring. Monitoring for TPH has replaced Oil & Grease. 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 m—p 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 I1 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. 6. In addition to submitting two signed copies of DMRs to Central Files, a separate signed Ainnual Summary DMR copy must be submitted to the local DWQ Regional Office by March 1 of each year. 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 botton; of this page. If no adverse comments are received from the public or horn you, this permit will likely be issued in about two months.

This Plan shall be considered public information in accordance with Part LII, Standard Conditions, Section E, Paragraph 3 of this individual permit. The Plan shall include, at a minimum. the following items: Site Plan. The site plan shall provide a description of the physical facility and the potential pollutant sources which may be expected to contribute to contamination of stormwater discharges. The site plan shall contain the following: (a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle map or appropriately drafted equivalent map), showing the facility's location in relation to transportation routes and surface waters, the name of the receiving water(s) to which the stormwater outfall(s) discharges, or if the discharge is to a municipal separate storm sewer system, the name of the municipality and the ultimate receiving waters; and accurate latitude and longitude of the point(s) of discharge. (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. (c) A site map drawn to scale with the distance legend indicating location of industrial activities (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas and loading and unloading areas), drainage structures, drainage areas for each outfall and activities occurring in the drainage area, building locations, existing BMPs and impervious surfaces, and the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious. For each outfall, a narrative description of the potential pollutants which could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge. (d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred at the facility during the 3 previous years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts. (e) Certification 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. 3. 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 stormwater, including structural and Part It Page I of 6 Permit No. NCS000003 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 stormwater. Wherever practical, the permittee shall prevent exposure of all storage areas, material handling operations, and manufacturing or fueling operations. In 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 Schedule. A schedule to provide secondary containment for bulk storage of liquid materials, storage of Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority chemicals, or storage of hazardous substances to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. 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 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 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 potential of 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, a 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 maintenance program shall be developed.

However, I also note that footnote 2 to the some table references a 'six-month sampling period'. I think this internal inconsistency in the permit text is accidental, and should be resolved in favor of the six-month footnote reference: Our typical practice in other permits is to divide the year into two six-month periods. There is no evidence in the permit development file to suggest a basis for this unusual arrangement. o This arrangement is so unusual, that I would certainly expect the permit writer to have made a written note of the basis for this arrangement when the permit was renewed. There is no such note in the file. So, here's what I think Elementis Chromium you should do: • Please consider that the sample you obtained in May 2012 is for Sampling Period 4 (erroneously noted as Dec 1, 2011— April 30, 2012 in Table 2 of the permit); do not send us your 'No Discharge This Period' report. • Please obtain a second semi-annual sample before the end of the year 2012. • Please send us a written request to revise your sampling schedule to two six-month periods per year. • Note: I've arranged these recommendations so that we can switch to a January —June period, and a July — December period. I'm trying to take advantage of the provisions in North Carolina rule that give us the freedom to make minor modifications to an individual stormwater permit on two counts: in the case of an obvious minor error like a typo, and in the case of minor modifications to a sampling program, without going through the whole administrative processes that usually attend a permit modification. I'm trying to set you up with a corrected, and easy to remember schedule. • Once we receive your request, we will send you a letter amending your permit schedule through April of 2015; and we will incorporate the corrected schedule into the revised text at the next renewal of your permit (in April 2015.) • 1 would like to give Linda Willis the opportunity to object to these changes, if it turns out that she has information suggesting that the permit sample periods were deliberately set up as 5 months and 7 months. Linda, any objection/comment? Ken Ken Pickle Environmental Engineer NCDENR I DWQ I Stormwater Permitting Unit 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 512 N.

I recently noticed that the monitoring schedule listed in the permit has a 7 month monitoring period for odd sample numbers and a 5 month monitoring period for even sampling numbers. According to the monitoring schedule, the monitoring period for sample number 4 ended April 30. We collected sample number 3 at the end of the monitoring period, so we only had three months to collect the sample because we are required to wait 60 days between samples. I was going to report non -discharge for the period; however, we did collect a stormwater sample in May, so technically we have collected a stormwater sample within a six month period. Can you please respond with your advice on how to proceed (le should we submit non -discharge for the period or should we submit the May sample as period 4 sample and modify the monitoring schedule to reflect a 6 month monitoring period)? If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me on my cell phone (910-685-3662). Thank you. Sean Coury, PE Senior Environmental Engineer URS Corporation - North Carolina 201 N.
