Carolina Marine Terminal is a bulk cargo unloading facility dredged to -42 MLW with a wharf
capable of accommodating vessels up to 800' in length. The terminal's primary function is to
unload cargo from floating vessels and store it for distribution to customers via rail and truck
bulk haulers. Changes in work and storage conditions include the addition of Iron Ingots, Rock
Aggregate, Dome 4 Calcium Nitrate storage, and Dome 5 Potash storage (See above photo).

Comments and Recommendations
Action Taken
Date
Inspections of all conveyor covers,
jersey barriers, drains and product
8/13/19
covers occur on an ongoing basis. It
is the goal of CMT to have no loss of
product into the drainage system,
thereby maintaining company
profitability and preventing release of
polution into the Cape Fear River.

Best Management Practices and Housekeeping
All BMP's are inspected and maintained on a continual basis. Best management practices
employ tarpaulin covers and jersey barriers to prevent product erosion (Road salt). Fresh water
washes and push brooms are used for product containment and recovery. Tarps are replaced as
needed.
Covered salt storage Jersey barriers for salt containment
Best management practices for chrome ore include the application of an acrylic vinyl acetate
emulsion to prevent product migration. Jersey barriers have been added to help prevent erosion
and product loss.

Special Issues Explanation:
• SIC code 44 captured by 40 CFR 122.26(b)(14), but excluded from NCGOS because there is not
vehicle maintenance but will be covered as a individual permit because of the pollutant potential of the
onsite materials. Our authority to cover this facility is cited under 40 CFR 122.26 (a)(v) by ref in 15A
NCAC 2H .0126.
• Adjoining property owner was responsible for an off -site release of paraxylene which contaminated
groundwater on CMT property.
• Changed Tier 2 to only include parameters that exceeded the benchmarks (Based on consultation with
Region).
Description of Onsite Activities:
Page I of 8

NCS000530
• Mechanically transfer raw materials from ship or barge to covered conveyor to dome, covered pile, or
open pile storage. Stored materials are mechanically loaded from storage to truck or railcar for shipping to
customer.
• Industrial activity creating exposure to stormwater include:
Open storage piles of chromite ore
t Covered storage piles of connnercial/industrial grade salt
Covered storage pile of aggregate
Contained, hurricane proof storage facility for storage of urea and potassium chloride
Unloading, transfer, and loading of raw materials listed above
Operation of powered industrial equipment
• Two outfalls are on site. Outfall 001 drains from a wet detention pond located on the east side of the
highway. Outfall 002 drains from an existing wet detention pond to the Cape Fear River.
- Outfall 001: 34' 11 02", -77' 57' 05"
- Outfall 002: 34' 11 09". -77' 57' 17"
Documents Reviewed:

• SPU File
• EPA Sector -Specific Permit, 2008
• 303(d) List, 2006 final
• 2005 Cape Fear Basinwide Plan
History:
• The; adjacent facility'owned by Flint Mills (used to be Koch) had a paraxylene spill whose plume migrated
to tlie:CMT site several years ago. The consultant working on that groundwater remediation (using air
sparge)!indicates their.attempts have proven successful.

Central Office Review Summary:
1. Owner's Other Permits: No other permits.
2. General Observations:
• Primary concern with the analytical results in the application are a COD value of 8340 mg/L at
Outfall 001.
3. Impairment: The Cape Fear River (18-(17)a) is on the 2006 303(d) for Standard violation: Low Dissolved
Oxygen and Low pH. The Basinwide Plan indicates turbidity is a stressor as well as low dissolved oxygen and
low pH. The Basinwide Plan states the Cape Fear River [18-(71)a] from Toomers Creek to Snows Cut (5,616.7
acres) is Impaired for aquatic life because the dissolved oxygen standard was violated in 42.9, 37.1, 16.4, 29.5,
23.2 and 10.4 percent of samples collected at sites BA642, BA644, BA708, BA709, BA713 and BA716. The
dissolved oxygen standard for SC waters is 5 mg/I. The pH standard was also below the standard in 38.5, 37.1,
10.4, 20.5 and 19.6 percent of samples at the same sites. The low pH may be associated with swamp drainage
from the Black and Northeast Cape Fear Rivers. The segment of the Cape Fear River upstream of this area has
a supplemental classification of Sw that acknowledges that swamp streams may have lower dissolved oxygen
and pH.,DWQ developed a TMDL to address the low dissolved oxygen in these segments. Segments 18-(71)a
and 18-77 will remain on the 303(d) list of Impaired waters replacing the Cape Fear (DEH Area) B 10 listing.
4. Threatened and Endangered: The Natural heritage virtual workroom indicates there are a couple species that
are federally endangered and a few that are state threatened or endangered in a two mile radius of the site. The
Full list is included in the permit file.
Two Aquatic Species: Shortnose Sturgeon, W. Indian Manatee
5. Location: The receiving water is classified as SC.
6. Industrial Chang
es Since Previous Permit: New Permit
7. Analytical Monitoring: Results submitted with the application included one sample for each outfall.
Outfall 001 has a significantly elevated COD value of 8340 mg/L. This source maybe surfacing groundwater
that is contaminated with paraxylene.
The 2008 Multi -Sector General permit in Sector Q Water Transportation recommends monitoring for Total
Aluminum, Total Iron, Total Lead and Total Zinc based on the SIC code of 4491. However, other parameters
will apply here based on types of materials stored.
The receiving stream is classified as SC. Therefore, Nikki Remington from the Classifications and Standards
Unit was contacted in order to see if the benchmarks need to be adjusted for a salt water environment.
Here are the recommended saltwater benchmarks (from Nikki Remington, DWQ, 2/18/09):
Iron: 4.5 mg/L (limited data)
Chromium: I mg/L
Xylene: 3.7 mg/L
Zinc:.9.5. ug/L , 0 c(ca
Aluminum: No saltwater data is available for aluminum
Lead: 220 ug/L e OL2 VIAYL
Oil and grease, COD, TSS and N and P wouldn't need to be modified for saltwater.
Recommended monitoring includes Oil & Grease, COD, TSS, TN, TKN, Ammonia, TP, Fe, Cr, Xylene, Zn,
AI, Pb and temperature.
The analytical parameters TN, TKN, and ammonia were added to the permit because the site stores similar
materials to PCS Phosphate (NCS000520). The staff report from March 19, 2008 for NCS000520 states the
DWQ Planning Section found there is not an appropriate benchmark for ammonia for saline waters at the time
Page of 8

NCS000530
(toxicity highly variable depending on pH and temperature; Final Acute Value (FAV) can change significantly
based on these conditions). Planning staff recommend monitoring only for ammonia, along with pH and
temperature, to assess toxicity potential after more data collected (C. Brower, 3/11/08). Because ammonia is a
component of TKN, a TKN benchmark will not be included either. The draft permit keeps the 30 mg/l "IN
benchmarks to serve as trigger for investigating potential problems of excessive nitrogen. See explanation of
what TN measures:
TN = TKN + (nitrate + nitrite); TKN = ammonia + organic nitrogen. Measuring TN and TKN will provide
information about nitrate/nitrite levels. Also, measuring ammonia will indicate how much of TKN is organic.
Cr was included in the analytical monitoring because of the chromite ore storage onsite.
8. Qualitative Monitoring Notes: None provided in application.

values require the pennittee 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 I 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 parameters at every outfall
where a sampling result exceeded the (benchmark value for two consecutive samples.

loading and unloading areas), drainage structures, drainage areas for each outfall,
building locations and impervious surfaces should be clearly noted.
2. A summary of Analytical Monitoring results during the term of the existing permit (if your
permit required analytical sampling). Do not submit individual lab reports. The summary
can consist of a table including such items as outfall number, parameters sampled, lab
results, date sampled, and storm event data. 11
r 3. A summary of the Visual Monitoring results. Do not submit individual monitoring reports.
The summary can consist of a table including such items as outfall number, parameters
surveyed, observations, and date monitoring conducted.
4. A summary of the Best Management Practices utilized at the permitted facility. Summary
should consist of a short narrative description of each BMP's in place at the facility. If the
implementation of any BMP's is planned, please include information on these BMP's.
r 5. A short narrative describing any significant changes in industrial activities at the permitted
facility. Significant changes could include the addition or deletion of work processes,
changes in material handling practices, changes in material storage practices, and/or
changes in the raw materials used by the facility.
✓ 6. Certification of the development and implementation of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
for the permitted facility (Sign and return attached form).
If the final year analytical monitoring of the existing permit term has not been completed prior
to filing the renewal submittal, then the last years monitoring results should be submitted within 30
days of receipt of the laboratory reports. (i.e. do not withhold renewal submittal waiting on lab results)

Comments and Recommendations
Action Taken
Date
Inspections of all conveyor covers,
jersey barriers, drains and product
covers occur on an ongoing basis. It
is the goal of CMT to have no loss of
product into the drainage system,
thereby maintaining company
profitability and preventing release of
polution into the Cape Fear River.

Carolina Marine Terminal

Best Management Practices and Housekeeping
All BMP's are inspected and maintained on a continual basis. Best management practices
employ tarpaulin covers and jersey barriers to prevent product erosion (Road salt). Fresh water
washes and push brooms are used for product containment and recovery. Tarps are replaced as
needed.
Covered salt storage Jersey barriers for salt containment
Best management practices for chrome ore include the application of an acrylic vinyl acetate
emulsion to prevent product migration. Jersey barriers have been added to help prevent erosion
and product loss.

Hi Brian,
As a general rule, I would suggest using saltwater benchmarks where possible when
discharging to a SC classified water. We had provided both freshwater and saltwater
benchmarks to Bethany when she encountered this issue because the parameter she was
looking at had extremely limited data for saltwater species and the freshwater
benchmark was based off of a larger data set and would have been protective of
saltwater species as well based on the calculated values. I'm not sure which one she
ended up using in her permit. However, in your case we have relatively strong data
for metals in both freshwater and saltwater. I recommend using the following
saltwater benchmarks:
Iron: 4.5 mg/L (limited data)
Chromium: 1 mg/L
Xylene: 3.7 mg/L
Zinc: 95 ug/L
Aluminum: No saltwater data is available for aluminum
Lead: 220 ug/L
From looking at your benchmark document, it looks like oil and grease, COD, TSS and N
and P wouldn't need to be modified for saltwater. We wouldn't have any additional
numeric benchmarks available for any of these parameters besides what you already are
using. I hope this helps. Feel free to let me know•if you need anything further or
have any questions.

Nikki,
I am working on an individual stormwater permit for a Marine Terminal that the
receiving water is Cape Fear River and is classified as SC. My draft parameters
for monitoring include Oil & Grease, COD, TSS, N, P, Fe, Cr, Xylene, Zn, Al and
Pb. How will the fact that the receiving water is SC affect the benchmarks for the
permit? Should they be different than if they were freshwater? Let me know what
you think. I know Bethany dealt with this some issue in the permit for PCS
Phosphate Aurora NCS000520 but the parameters were a little different.

(d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred at the facility
during the three (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 5. The permittee shall re -certify annually that the stormwater
outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges.
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 stormwater, including structural and
nonstructural measures. The stormwater management plan, at a.minimum, shall
incorporate the following: r(
(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. ater. Wherever practical, the permittee shall
dl // % /.
prevent exposure of all storage/areas, material handling operations, and
/7 //
manufacturing or fueling operations.An areas where elimination of exposure is
not practical, the stormwater management plan shall document the feasibility of
diverting the stormwaterrunoffaway 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 111,of the,Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA)
water priority chemicals; and storage in any amount of hazardous substances, in
order 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 stonnwater. Accumulated stonnwater 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 listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management
Practices (BMP) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs
shall be based on the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute
significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected
through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a

Permit No. NCS000530
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 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 the team) 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 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 Spill
Prevention Control and Countermeasure plan (SPCC) 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. Il �/\ \��
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative
maintenance and good housekeeping program shall�be developed. The program shall list
all stormwater control systems, stormwater discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent
surface waters and wetlands, industrialactivity)a er as (including material storage areas,
material handling areas, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and
haul roads), all drainage` atu\es and structures, and existing structural BMPs. The
program shall establish schedules of inspections, maintenance, 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.
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 in writing and maintained
in the SPPP.
5. 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. Facility personnel (or team)
responsible for implementing the training shall be identified, and their annual training
shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained.
6. Responsible Party. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall identify a specific
position(s) responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and
revision to the Plan. Responsibilities for all components of the Plan shall be documented
and position assignments provided.
7. Plan Amendment. The permittee shall amend the Plan whenever there is a change in
design, construction, operation, or maintenance which has a significant effect on the
potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of the Stonnwater
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
Part 11 Page 5 of 10

Permit No. NCS000530
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. Each annual update shall include a re-evaluation of the
effectiveness of the BMPs listed in the BMP Summary of the Stormwater Management
Plan.
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 penmittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with
Part 111, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 5) to the Director that the changes

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 toN 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.

SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of
representative outfall status and shall be performed as specified in Table 4, during the analytical
monitoring event. [If analytical monitoring is not required, the permittee still must conduct semi-
annual qualitative monitoring.] Qualitative monitoring is for the purpose of evaluating the
effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and assessing new sources of
stormwater pollution.
In the event an atypical condition is noted at a stormwater discharge outfall, the permittee shall
document the suspected cause of the condition and any actions taken in response to the
discovery. This documentation will be maintained with the SPPP.

Includes, but is not limited to%releeases\of otlVor hazardous substances in excess of reportable quantities
under section 311 of the Clean Water Act (Ref: 40 CFR 110.10 and CFR 117.21) or section 102 of
CEKCLA (Ref: 40 CFR 302.4).
27. Stormwater Runoff
The flow of water which results from precipitation and which occurs immediately following rainfall or as a
result of snowmelt.
28. Stormwater Associated with Industrial Activity
The discharge from any point source which is used for collecting and conveying stormwater and which is
directly related to manufacturing, processing or raw material storage areas at an industrial site. Facilities
considered to be engaged in "industrial activities" include those activities defined in 40 CFR 122.26(b)(14).
The term does not include discharges from facilities or activities excluded from the NPDES program.
29. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan

Total Flow
The flow corresponding to the time period over which the entire storm event occurs. Total flow shall be
either; (a) measured continuously, (b) calculated based on the amount of area draining to the outfall, the
amount of built -upon (impervious) area, and the total amount of rainfall, or (c) estimated by the
measurement of flow at 20 minute intervals during the rainfall event.
Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL)
A TMDL is a calculation of the maximum amount of a pollutant that a waterbody can receive and still meet
water quality standards, and an allocation of that amount to the pollutant's sources. A TMDL is a detailed
water quality assessment that provides the scientific foundation for an implementation plan. The
implementation plan outlines the steps necessary to reduce pollutant loads in a certain body of water to
restore and maintain water quality standards in all seasons. The�Glean Water Act, Section 303, establishes
the water quality standards and TMDL programs.

Subject: CMT Permit NCS000530
Dear Mr. Lowther:
E NG IN EE R5
SURVEYORS
Wc�S_ PLANNERS
Thank you for providing us the valuable time to review the contents of the
subject stormwater permit. We have all worked diligently to develop a
stormwater program that is protective of water quality and allows Carolina
Marine Terminal to remain a vital economic force in Wilmington.
The Carolina Marine terminal is a vital source for commerce in the
Wilmington area; imports and exports vital to North Carolina's continued
economic development pass through this facility. The terminal is a vital link
for interstate and international commerce.
We have all reviewed the stormwater permit and provide these comments,
There is extensive analytical monitoring proposed. Item 1 in the June
2006 Draft Permit. Are these parameters based on any established
TMDL's for the Lower Cape Fear River? Management at CMT is willing
to monitor stormwater and would like for those monitoring data to
remain consistent with TMDL issues,
2. We remain concerned about the "benchmark" monitoring. The
operational parameters and materials shipped through a marine
terminal are variable. Commercial contracts drive the business
aspects of this terminal. We believe the benchmarking can be used to
assist with development of management practices appropriate to the
materials shipped through the facility and question the reliability of a
benchmark where parameter concentrations in excess of benchmark

Jui.15. 2009 12:10PM No.6707 P. 2
Mr. Brian Lowther

values trigger additional assessment. A similar argument was
forwarded in section 6 that suggests when monitoring events find
parameters are below the benchmark, additional monitoring is not
required. These conditions fail to recognize the ever changing nature
of the terminal operation.
3. Product loss from the terminal is profit loss from the terminal. The
management and staff at CMT take extraordinary measures to manage
and retain product for commercial purposes. Product is stored under
cover when appropriate, spills are contained and when possible the
captured product is returned to storage.
4. The letter states that the system discharges to impaired waters; there
is no TMDL or source listed for the impairment. Please provide
justification for the parameters listed
5. The permit (Section D) states that vehicle maintenance may trigger
special circumstances. Vehicle maintenance is accomplished on the
property, but it is accomplished in covered or protected areas
whenever possible. Will that activity trigger the special circumstances
listed in item
6. Plan amendments are required in item 7, SPPP. Will a plan
amendment be required whenever a material is received at CMT? This
is a tremendous burden on the local management staff at CMT. Could a
plan amendment be required when specific tonnage or volume limits
are approached?
Carolina Marine utilizes covered storage whenever possible. Materials
are received, conveyed to a storage site and covered in as short a time
as possible. The management recognizes the importance of preserving
product. In addition, the corporate culture at CMT necessitates clean-
up as soon as a spill occurs. Product is not left on site for any time. All
operators are educated in these corporate policies. Sweeping and
cleaning are continual and product that is recovered is returned to
storage when possible. The waste generated at the site is very limited.
B. CMT proposes to develop a continuing study to establish pollutant
levels in the stormwater discharge. The study will develop a plan for
data accumulation and presentation including development of "box -
and -whisker" plots. These data could be then utilized to establish the
benchmarks described in the draft permit, and the benchmarks would
be based on statistically sound data.

The discharge from the east pond does appear to accumulate
Pollutants as it courses under River Road. COD levels in the discharge
have been higher than levels in the pond. There seem to be sources of
pollutants entering the stormwater system as a result of conveyance
under the road. There are reported pipelines in the road and road
right-of-way that may be influencing the COD levels in the discharge.
These sources must be identified, responsible parties identified, and
insults corrected to assure a sound stormwater system.
10. CMT proposes a site meeting to discuss the permit provisions. Staff at
CMT and the various consultants associated with the project proposes
a meeting on -site to assess conditions, assist with development of the
study plan, and establish a time -frame for the study. This
collaborative effort will result in a mutually acceptable and
scientifically sound stormwater management plan.
Marine terminals by nature deal with a variety of materials. The management
at CMT supports sound practices to assure products are conserved and
transferred to commercial outlets, not surface water outlets. Monitoring is
essential to the development of a long term plan. The CMT operation has
been on -going for many years; development of a study will only assure better
management of the system.
We do support the development of a stormwater permit program for this and
all marine terminal sites. We believe that this facility is vital to the economy
and
can support environmental quality. The D.O. sag reported in the Lower Cape
Fear River is probably attributable to many sources. CMT is committed to
develop an effective program addressing inputs from this site.
Please consider a meeting soon to address these issues and others that you
may have.

Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit
Permit No. NCS000530
Carolina Marine Terminal
New Hanover County
Dear Mr. McCarley:
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 elements:
Analytical monitoring includes:
1. Analytical monitoring parameters, Oil & Grease, COD, TSS, TN, TKN, Ammonia, P, Pe, Cr, Xylene, Zn,
Al, Pb, pH and temperature, have.been added to this permit based on the parameters being potential
pollutants at the site.
2. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as defined in
Part 11 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 Plow"
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. These benchmarks are not
linlits.but signal potential problems, prompt actions to correct them, and continued vigilance to assess
effectiveness or catch future problems. 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 sampting 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 parameters
over the benchmarks 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 1I SectionB. Qualitative monitoring is required regardless of
representative outfall status.

5. Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been set 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.
6.. If the benchmarks are not exceeded or materials that may contribute to pollutant are no longer stored on
site the permittee may request for a permit modification. However, sufficient data or information must
be provided to reduce or discontinue any analytical monitoring.
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 this page. If no adverse comments are
received from the public or from you, this permit will likely be issued in about two months.

PART 11 - BACKGROUND AND HISTORY
This facility was previously owned by Atlantic Scrap and Diving. The site was a storage site for
marine recovery operations. The site has been converted to a bulk storage facility for various
materials brought in by barge. Offloading is accomplished with a claw to.a hopper and relayed to
the storage areas via covered conveyor belt. Three storage domes are currently on site housing
Carbamidic Acid (Urea). Recent application with the City of Wilmington has been made to provide
two new potash domes and two new cement domes. There are four lay down storage areas
(uncovered, non contained). Currently the `lay down" storage areas are occupied by sodium
chloride (salt) and chrome ore (trivalent). In the near future, it is anticipated that cement will be
stored on site.
PART 111 - DESCRIPTION OF DISCHARGE AND TREATMENT WORKS
1) Volumeof(stitnatedslormwaler:
• Total site area is approximately 28 acres on the east side of River Road (draining from the
outfall from a wet detention pond draining to a ditch along the south side of the west tract
and 18.06 acres on the west side of River Road discharging through a stormwater pond
located on the northwest corner of the property.
2) What is the current permitted flow limit?
• No flow limits
3) Actual treatment capacity of the current facility?
C No information given on storage capacity of ponds. No data provided to determine TSS

sufficient in identi fying the potential pollutants of concern with appropriate benchmark cutofl§.
A benchmark for ammonia should be included.
PART V - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The Wilmington Regional Office requests a benchmark for ammonia nitrogen in the permit.
Permitting strategy exercised by the NPDES Permitting Unit has recently resulted in the issuance of
speculative limitations for ammonia in class SC waters as 1.0 and 3.0 (sunnner/winter) monthly
averages, due to low DO in this segment of the Lower Cape Fear River. The draft permit was
reviewed and the Region agrees with the requirements specified therein. The Wilmington Regional
Office recommends issuance of the permit in accordance with the Cape Fear River Basinwide
permitting strategy, provided no significant adverse public comments are received.

1) Volume of estimated stornwater:
Total site area is approximately 28 acres on the east side of River Road (draining from the
outfall from a wet detention pond draining to a ditch along the south side of the west tract
and 18.06 acres on the west side of River Road discharging through a stormwater pond
located on the northwest corner of the property.
2) What is the current permitted flow limit?
• No flow limits
3) Actual treatment capacity of the current facility?
• No information given on storage capacity of ponds. No data provided to determine TSS
removal. Analytical monitoring in the new permit should help identify the ability of the
ponds to reduce pollutants.
4) Possible toxic impacts to surface waters:
Urea. -
Fish toxicity identified on MSDS sheet for urea to be 22,500 ug/L 96 hour(s) LC50
Mortality (Mozambique tilapia)
• Invertebrate toxicity: >10 g/L 24 hour(s) EC50 (abundance) Water flea (Daphnia magna)
Other toxicity: 1 gm/L 96 week(s) (Teratogenesis) Frog (Microhyla omata)
5) SIC Code(s): 4491

PART IV - OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION
Special monitoring or limitations (including toxicity) requests: Proposed draft permit appears
sufficient in identifying the potential pollutants of concern with appropriate benchmark cutoffs.
A benchmark for ammonia should be included.
PART V - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The Wilmington Regional Office requests a benchmark for ammonia nitrogen in the permit.
Permitting strategy exercised by the NPDES Permitting Unit has recently resulted in the issuance of
speculative limitations for ammonia in class SC waters as 1.0 and 3.0 (summer/winter) monthly
averages, due to low DO in this segment of the Lower Cape Fear River. The draft permit was
reviewed and the Region agrees with the requirements specified therein. The Wilmington Regional
Office recommends issuance of the permit in accordance with the Cape Fear River Basinwide
permitting strategy, provided no significant adverse public comments are received.

Special Issues Explanation:
• SIC code 44 captured by 40 CFR 122.26(b)(14), but excluded from NCG08 because there is not
vehicle maintenance but will be covered as a individual permit because of the pollutant potential of the
onsite materials. Our authority to cover this facility is cited under 40 CFR 122.26 (a)(v) by ref in I SA
NCAC 2H .0126.
• Adjoining property owner was responsible for an off -site release of paraxylene which contaminated
groundwater on CMT property.
• Changed Tier 2 to only include parameters that exceeded the benchmarks (Based on consultation with
Region).

Central Office Review Summary:
1. Owner's Other Permits: No other permits.
2. General Observations:
• Primary concern with the analytical results in the application are a COD value of 8340 mg/L at
Outfall 001.
Impairment: The Cape Fear River (18-(17)a) is on the 2006 303(d) for Standard violation: Low Dissolved
Oxygen and Low pH. The Basinwide Plan indicates turbidity is a stressor as well as low dissolved oxygen and
low pH. The Basinwide Plan states the Cape Fear River [18-(71)a] from Toomers Creek to Snows Cut (5,616.7
acres) is Impaired for aquatic life because the dissolved oxygen standard was violated in 42.9, 37.1, 16.4, 29.5,
23.2 and 10.4 percent of samples collected at sites BA642, BA644, BA708, BA709, BA713 and BA716. The
dissolved oxygen standard for.SC waters is 5 mg/I. The pH standard was also below the standard in 38.5, 37.1,
10.4, 20.5 and 19.6 percent of samples at the same sites. The low pH may be associated with swamp drainage
from the Black and Northeast Cape Fear Rivers. The segment of the Cape Fear River upstream of this area has
a supplemental classification of Sw that acknowledges that swamp streams may have lower dissolved oxygen
and pH. DWQ developed a TMDL to address the low dissolved oxygen in these segments. Segments 18-(71)a
and 18-77 will remain on the 303(d) list of Impaired waters replacing the Cape Fear (DEH Area) B10 listing.
4. Threatened and Endangered: The Natural Heritage virtual workroom indicates there are a couple species that
are federally endangered and a few that are state threatened or endangered in a two mile radius of the site. The
full list is included in the permit file.
Two Aquatic Species: Shortnose Sturgeon, W. Indian Manatee
5. Location: The receiving water is classified as SC.
6. Industrial Changes Since P revious Permit: New Permit
7. Analytical Monitoring Notes: Results submitted with the application included one sample for each outfall.
Outfall 001 has a significantly elevated COD value of 8340 mg/L. This source maybe surfacing groundwater
that is contaminated with paraxylene.
The 2008 Multi -Sector. General permit in Sector Q Water Transportation recommends monitoring for Total
Aluminum, Total Iron, Total Lead and Total Zinc based on the SIC code of 4491. However, other parameters
will apply here based on types of materials stored.
The receiving stream is classified as SC. Therefore, Nikki Remington from the Classifications and Standards
Unit was contacted in order to see if the benchmarks need to be adjusted for a salt water environment.
Here are the recommended saltwater benchmarks (from Nikki Remington, DWQ, 2/18/09):
Iron: 4.5 mg/L (limited data)
Chromium: 1 mg/L
Xylene: 3.7 mg/L
Zinc: 95 ug/L
Aluminum: No saltwater data is available for aluminum
Lead: 220 ug/L
Oil and grease, COD, TSS and N and P wouldn't need to be modified for saltwater.
Recommended monitoring includes Oil & Grease, COD, TSS, TN, TKN, Ammonia, TP, Fe, Cr, Xylene, Zn,
Al, Pb and temperature.
The analytical parameters TN, TKN, and ammonia were added to the permit because the site stores similar
materials to PCS Phosphate (NCS000520). The staff report from March 19, 2008 for NCS000520 states the
DWQ Planning Section found there is not an appropriate benchmark for ammonia for saline waters at the time
Page 4 of 8

Y
Y
NCS000530
(toxicity highly variable depending on pH and temperature; Final Acute Value (FAV) can change significantly
based on these conditions). Planning staff recommend monitoring only for ammonia, along with pH and
temperature, to assess toxicity potential after more data collected (C. Brower, 3/11/08). Because ammonia is a
component of TKN, a TKN benchmark will not be included either. The draft permit keeps the 30 mg/1 TN
benchmarks to serve as trigger for investigating potential problems of excessive nitrogen. See explanation of
what TN measures:
TN = TKN + (nitrate + nitrite); TKN = armnonia + organic nitrogen. Measuring TN and TKN will provide
information about nitrate/nitrite levels. Also, measuring anunonia will indicate how much of TKN is organic.
Cr was included in the analytical monitoring because of the chrornite ore storage onsite.
8. Qualitative Monitoring Notes: None provided in application.

Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring:
1. Adding parameters Oil & Grease, COD, TSS, TN, TKN, Ammonia, P, Fe, Cr, Xylene, Zn, At, Pb, pH and
temperature.
2. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as defined in Part 11
Section B. The permittee must also document the total precipitationfor each event. If no discharge occurs
during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating "No Plow" 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 included 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 parameters at every outfall
where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples.

Revised Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring:
1. Adding parameters Oil & Grease, COD, TSS, TN, TKN, Ammonia, P, Fe, Cr, Xylene, Zn, Al, Pb and
temperature. '7
2. pH has been dd td the analytical monitoring requirements.
3. All analytichl monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as defined in Part 11
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.
4. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring have b n adecr ded to tylus draft permit. Exceedances of benchmark values
require the permittee to increase monitoring, Increasemanagement 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.
5. 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.
6. The permittee is responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote I of Tables 1, 4,
and 5.
7. The flow reporting requirement h s e� en removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall parameter is in
this permit, however.)
8. Vehicle maintenance monitoring h:as'been revisseed. o semi-annually in order to coincide with analytical and
qualitative monitoring.
Other Proposed Changes to th PrevE 'ii PermiPc N '
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 he 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.

Brian,
The water quality standard for SC waters is for total chromium, so total is the best
way to go.

I was originally thinking of just including total recoverable chromium but maybe
hex would make sure sense. Should they monitor for both of them? Let me know what
you think.

Brian,
I like the PCs permit idea, since this site is a LOT like PCS's. I think the
chromium testing would be a good idea, will.that be hex or tri or both? I think
our Stormwater permits have really improved the efforts taken by the permittees
out there. The new tiers are really working out there. Permit according to
your guidance and references. I'm sure whatever you come up with will be
suitable. I was just trying to get myself better educated to the permitting
processes.

Brian Lowther wrote:
Hi Linda,
The way we do our individual permits is to develop a staff report that looks
at the site and its potential pollutants. Resources referenced are the NPDES
Stormwater Permit Application Materials, EPA General Multi -Sector Permit,
National Heritage Program (NHP) Threatened and Endangered Species Database,
303d list, TMDLs, and Basinwide Plans. We also look at previous permits with
similar.industrial activities in order to develop to parameters for
monitoring.
As far as the tier system goes. We could change the tiers to only include
the parameters that exceed the benchmarks. It is set up to include all the
parameters to make it easier to understand.
I could put ammonia nitrogen in the permit. Bethany found that when
permitting PCs Phosphate that she didn't want to put a benchmark in because
the the receiving stream was salt water and benchmark was very low or there
wasn't enough data to produce a benchmark. She had Total Nitrogen, Total
Ammonia as Nitrogen and TKN in the permit but only had a benchmark for total
Nitrogen. I am not sure what would be best to do. I can talk to Nikki
Remington and Connie Brower more about it if you want. I had to get them to
come up with different benchmarks for some of the parameters because it is
draining to the SC waters.
We have put toxicity testing in stormwater permits very very rarely. That is
what Bethany said. Apparently only 2 times and that is when we think it
should be a waste water. I dealt with renewing one that had it initially but
was taken out. We could consider putting toxicity testing in if they reach

Linda Willis wrote:
Hi Brian,
Can you educate me on how we target the sampling parameters? The
permitting process is always interesting to me. Just to educate you on
some of the "potential issues" at this site. . . first, I didn't realize
the COD was that high. That's pretty significant. The site is in close
proximity to two contamination plumes from from two other entities (one
paraxylene pipeline break upgradient of their site and one diesel spill
from a site previously owned by progress energy). The Inactive Hazardous
Sites folks have regulatory oversight over the paraxylene plume
situation. I think UST has oversight on the diesel spill (not sure).
Right now, the consultants for Carolina Marine Terminal (CMT) are trying
to figure out where the high COD is coming from. The consultants for
Flint Hills (Paraxylene source) has contacted me to let me know that
testing shows the paraxylene plume is not likely the source for the high
COD. The consultant for CMT has been in contact with the consultants for
Flint Hills (Catlin Engineering) and understands this and will likely
pursue additional testing to identify the contaminants. I hate to see
their monthly monitoring triggered right off the bat considering they are
spending time and money trying to identify the sources of contaminants.
Having to add a battery of testing for all parameters when they exceed COD
(which they will) will be painful. Can we give them the ability to
conduct monthly monitoring on only the parameters in exceedance of the
benchmarks rather than all the parameters?
I think ammonia nitrogen is a parameter we need to see rather than N.
Since the Cape Fear River (receiving stream) is not nutrient sensitive,
getting N isn't as useful as getting NH3-N (since NH3-N is toxic,to
aquatic life). And, I'm out on a limb here, but do we ever put toxicity
testing in stormwater permits?
Linda
Brian Lowther wrote:
I Linda,
I am working on writing the draft permit for Carolina Marine Terminal.
My proposed parameters for sampling currently include Oil & Grease,
COD, TSS, N, P, Fe, Cr, Xylene, Zn, Al and Pb. Do these seem
appropriate to you? Also, the sample value for COD at outfall 001 was
8340 mg/L. Do you think I need to add additional monitoring or
language in the permit to address this or let the permittee go through
the tiered system once the permit is issued and they go over the
benchmarks? Let me know what you think.

Bethany,
I spoke with Bill Eagan a few minutes ago. We discussed the
monitoring required for the permit application. I suggested he
run Total Chromium due to the chromite ore (Cr203)on site . The
adjacent facility owned by Flint Hills (used to be Koch) had a
paraxylene spill whose plume migrated to the CMT site several
years back (don't know exact date of the incident). The
consultants working on that groundwater remediation (using air
sparge) indicates their attempts have proven successful. Mr.
Eagan is going to run xylene on their stormwater discharge as
well. I agreed, more for their own internal purpose than for the
permitting process. I visited with Bradley on this early this
morning to let him know about the time sensitivity for the
issuance of this permit. I mentioned the site across the road is
owned by CMT as well. They are using that site for overflow bulk
storage for salt and maybe chromite ore. I believe the discharge
points from that part of the property can and will be represented
at the outfall from the stormwater pond located on the riverside
parcel. They would not be storing material such as urea in that
side of the road. They will have one discharge point with any
others identified being granted "representative outfall status".
Jean can be your contact in WiRO for this one since I'll be
vacationing for the rest of this month with family in TX. Hope
you have a great holiday season Bethany, I know you'll enjoy it

Bradley,
Ms. Snotherly is with the NH Cnty. She is working with the permittee on some county
permits. She requested our attendance at a meeting she had on site with personnel and
wanted us to evaluate whether an NPDES permit would be required. While this site
doesn't fit any of our NCGs, it is a terminal storing raw materials such as Urea,
chrome ore, and salt (currently). The site is much like PCS Phosphate site in
Morehead City. They utilize a conveyor belt (overhead) to transport raw materials
from barge to storage areas on site. The County had great concern that they posed a
threat to water quality. While I cannot say the stormwater runoff will exceed water
quality standards, I can't say it won't given the storage practices. The
implementation of a SWP3 should make a significant difference in what may be
discharged from the site. They are experiencing high COD levels in samples taken /
during storm events. The source may be surfacing groundwater that is contaminated ✓
with paraxylene.
At any rate, as you can see, she is interested in the time schedule for our issuing
the npdes permit. She may be holding some of her permits until ours is issued.

RE: Application for Individual Stormwater Discharge Permit
Dear Mr. Bennett:
Enclosed are three copies of an application for a permit to discharge stormwater from our facility
located at 3330 River Road, Wilmington, New Hanover County, North Carolina. A check for
$860.00 made out to NCDENR - Stormwater Permitting Section is enclosed for the application fee
and first year permit fee.
Our plant transfers, stores, and ships raw materials such as urea, salt, potash, and chromite ore.
Materials are unloaded from barges on the Cape Fear River, stored on -site, and shipped to the
customer by truck or rail. Exposures to stormwater occur at the facility as a result of material transfer
activity at the site. No General Permit is available for our SIC Code 4491.
Should you have any questions, please call me at [phone] or Tim Monroe of Bensinger and
Garrison Environmental, Inc. at [phone].
Sincerely,
CAROLINA MARINE TERMINAL

Re: Benchmarks for SC water

Hi Brian,
As a general rule, I would suggest using saltwater benchmarks where possible when
discharging to a SC classified water. We had provided both freshwater and saltwater
benchmarks to Bethany when she encountered this issue because the parameter she was
looking at had extremely limited data for saltwater species and the freshwater
benchmark was based off of a larger data set and would have been protective of
saltwater species as well based on the calculated values. I'm not sure which one she
ended up using in her permit. However, in your case we have relatively strong data
for metals in both freshwater and saltwater. I recommend using the following
saltwater benchmarks:
Iron: 4.5 mg/L (limited data)
Chromium: 1 mg/L
Xylene: 3.7 mg/L
Zinc: 95 ug/L
Aluminum: No saltwater data is available for aluminum
Lead: 220 ug/L
From looking at your benchmark document, it looks like oil and grease, COD, TSS and N
and P wouldn't need to be modified for saltwater. We wouldn't have any additional
numeric benchmarks available for any of these parameters besides what you already are
using. I hope this helps. Feel free to let me know if you need anything further or
have any questions.

Nikki,
I am working on an individual stormwater permit for a Marine Terminal that the
receiving water is Cape Fear River and is classified as SC. My draft parameters
for monitoring include Oil & Grease, COD, TSS, N, P, Fe, Cr, Xylene, Zn, Al and
Pb. How will the fact that the receiving water is SC affect the benchmarks for the
permit? Should they be different than if they were freshwater? Let me know what
you think. I know Bethany dealt with this some issue in the permit for PCS
Phosphate Aurora NCS000520 but the parameters were a little different.
