RE: Cargill, Incorporated, Raleigh, NC — NPDES Stormwater Permit NCS000282
Facility Operational Change Notification
Dear Mr. Bennett,
The Cargill, Incorporated (Cargill) facility is submitting this notification under Section E(5) of the
facility's NPDES Stormwater permit to communicate planned process changes. In early April of
2014, the Soybean Extraction Process will be shut down and placed in an idle capacity. The time
period of this idled process is unknown at this time. The facility will be operating a Soybean Trans -
Loading operation in which raw soybeans will be received via truck, temporarily stored in the
existing Soybean tanks, and loaded out in Rail cars for further processing at other Cargill facilities.
As part of this operation, Soybeans will not be cleaned or dried on site.
The table in Appendix A highlights the expected exposed materials and pollutants that will be
associated with the Trans -Loading operation. Those materials and pollutants associated with the
Soybean Extraction process will not be a characteristic of our stormwater discharges during the idle
period.
Because the facility will be in an idle operating scenario with our Soybean Extraction process, and
since we have not made any determinations as to the long term future of ongoing operations at the
facility, Cargill would like to retain all elements of our current permit. Please note, this permit is
currently pending renewal with the renewal application received by NCDENR on December 3, 2013.
Cargill will continue to comply with the current stormwater permit requirements. Should you have
any questions or comments, I can be reached at (910) 433-4907.

Central Office Review Summary:
1. Owner's Other Permits: N/A
2. Location: The previous permit said that the site drains to UTs of Rocky Branch and Walnut Creek. But, it appears
that the site drains directly to Rocky Branch. Walnut Creek is a little further south of the facility. I don't see any
UTs on the map.
3. General Observations: Both the analytical and qualitative data lead me to believe that this is a dirty site.
4. Impairment: Not 303(d) listed. Not rated in the Basinwide Plan. However, the plan notes that there is
significant development in the drainage area (including NCSU's campus) that affects the stream. This stream is
also undergoing renovation by CWMTF.
5. Industrial Changes Since Previous Permit: As of October 2004, there had not been any significant changes. But,
they were planning to change material handling and storage procedures when they submitted the application.
6. Analtical Monitoring Notes: BOD, COD, TSS, and TP are consistently too high. EPA's permit requires TSS,
BOD5, COD, NO3+NO2, and TSS. Our previous permit required BOD, COD, TN, TP, and TSS. I recommend
that TN monitoring be replaced by NO3+NO2 and TKN for the upcoming permit cycle.
7. Qualitative Monitoring Notes: The qualitative monitoring notes contain several reasons for concern. There are
multiple notes that there were "beans" or "meal" present. One date had an ammonia smell (this is in the Neuse
River basin, a nutrient -sensitive area.) In general, the qualitative data indicate a dirty site.
8. Threatened and Endangered: This site does not drain to an area that T&E species are known to inhabit. Figure 2
shows the facility's location in the watershed in relation to the nearest Natural Heritage Program (NHP) database
species downstream. The site is the red dot, and orange dot with the red, circled area is the location of four
species in the NHP database. None of the species are Federally threatened or endangered. One species, the
Atlantic Pigtoe, is a mussel that is listed as endangered for the state. But, the database reports that the accuracy
of the location data for this species is thought to be low, and it was last observed in 1951. Rocky Branch does
not fall within the area where the species are known to exist.

Revised Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring:
1. BOD, COD, TP and TSS monitoring has been continued from the previous permit. TN monitoring has been
replaced by NO3+NO2 and TKN for the upcoming permit cycle.
2. pH has been added to the analytical monitoring requirements.
3. 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.
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.
5. The permittee is required to collect all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during representative
storm events as defined in Part 11 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 1 of Tables 1, 4,
and 5.
7. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall parameter is in
this permit, however.)
8. 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:
3
4.
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.
Additional requirements for the Stormwater Management Plan have been specified in Part II Section A. More
details regarding secondary containment are provided.
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.
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.
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.

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 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 stormwater, 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 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 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 observedfor 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
Part II Page 2 of 10
Permit No. NQS000282
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
maintenance program shall be developed. The program shall document schedules of
inspections and maintenance activities of stormwater control systems, plant equipment
and systems. Inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of
these areas shall be incorporated into the program.
5. Employee Training. Training schedules shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis on proper spill response and cleanup procedures and
preventative maintenance activities for all personnel involved in 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.
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 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.
Part II Page 3 of 10

Permit No. NCS000282
8. Facility Inspection Program. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall
occur at a minimum on a semi-annual schedule, once during the first half of the year
(January through June) and once during the second half (July through December), with at
least 60-days separating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently). The
inspection and any subsequent maintenance activities performed shall be documented,
recording date and time of inspection, individual(s) making the inspection and a narrative
description of the facility's stormwater control systems, plant equipment and systems.
Records of these inspections shall be incorporated into the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan. These facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the
stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring required in Part II of this permit.
9. Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Plan. The permittee shall document
all monitoring, measurements, inspections and maintenance activities and training
provided to employees, including the log of the sampling data and of actions taken to
implement BMPs associated with the industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance
activities. Such documentation shall be kept on -site for a period of five years and made
available to the Director or the Director's authorized representative immediately upon
request.

Permit No. NCS000282
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.

PART II MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR
PERMITTED DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
The Permittee shall develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, herein after referred to as
the Plan. This Plan shall be considered public information in accordance with Part III, Standard
Conditions, Section E, Paragraph 3 of this general permit. The Plan shall include, at a minimum,
the following items:
1. 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. The
general location map (or alternatively the site map) shall identify whether each
receiving water is impaired (on the state's 303(d) list of impaired waters) or is
located in a watershed for which a TMDL has been established, and what the
parameter(s) of concern are.
North Carolina's 303(d) List can be found here:
http: //h2o.enr.statenc.us/tmdl/General_303 d.htm#D ownloads
North Carolina TMDL documents can be found here:
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/tmdl/TMDL list.htm#Final TMDLs.
(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 which
could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall.
(c) A site map drawn to scale (including a distance legend) showing: 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, all drainage features and structures, drainage areas for each outfall,
direction of flow in each drainage area, industrial activities occurring in each
drainage area, buildings, existing BMPs, and impervious surfaces. The site map
must indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious.
(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.
Part II Page I of 10
Permit No. NCS000282
(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:
(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 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, 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 diy 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 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
written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the
selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually.
Part II Page 2 of 10
Permit No. NCS000282
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.
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, industrial activity `areas (including material storage areas,
material handling areas, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and
haul roads), all drainage features 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 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. Each annual update shall include a re-evaluation of the
Part II Page 3 of 10
Permit No. NCS000282
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 permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with
Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 5) to the Director that the changes
have been made.
8. 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
required in Part II B and C of this permit.

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 containup 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.

measurement of flow at 20 minute intervals during the rainfall event.
32. 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 Clean Water Act, section 303, establishes
the water quality standards and TMDL programs.
33. Toxic Pollutant
Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act.
34. Upset
Means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary noncompliance with
technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors beyond the reasonable control of the
permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error, improperly
designed treatment or control facilities, inadequate treatment or control facilities, lack of preventive
maintenance, or careless or improper operation.
35. Vehicle Maintenance Activity
Vehicle rehabilitation, mechanical repairs, painting, fueling, lubrication, Vehicle cleaning operations, or
airport deicing operations.
36. Visible Sedimentation
Solid particulate matter, both mineral and organic, that has been or is being transported by water, air,
gravity, or ice from its site of origin which can be seen with the unaided eye.
37. 25-year, 24 hour storm event
The maximum 24-hour precipitation event expected to be equaled or exceeded, on the average, once in 25
years.

Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit
Permit No. NCS000282
Cargill Incorporated
Wake County
Dear Mr. Peanaske:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
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. BODs, COD, TP, and TSS analytical monitoring parameters have been continued from the previous permit.
TN monitoring has been replaced by NO3+NO2 and TKN.
2. pH has been added to the analytical monitoring requirements per the Divisions revised monitoring
strategy.
3. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as defined in
Part II Section 13. 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 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'plaii 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. You are required to conduct.all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring during representative storm
events as defined in Part II Section B. Qualitative monitoring is required at every outfall regardless of
representative outfall status.

6. In the event that this permit expires, you are responsible for all monitoring 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. (The total rainfall parameter
is still required in this permit, however.)
8. 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 in Section II.D shall apply.
Other permit changes:
1. 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 alist of significant spills and to certify that the
outfalls do not contain non-stormwater discharges:
2.. 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 TMDUR's' tablished. 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.
3. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Management Plan have been specified in Part II Section A.
More details regarding secondary containment are :provided.
4. The facility must now implement a semi-annual Facility: Inspection Program of the site's stormwater
management controls as specified in Part H 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 1lPDES stormwater discharge permit requirements.
Additional information is provided in Part I Section A.
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.
If you have any questions or comments concerning this draft -permit, contact Robert Patterson at (919) 807-6375

Central Office Review Summary:
1. Owner's Other Permits: N/A
2. Location: The previous permit said that the site drains to UTs of Rocky Branch and Walnut Creek. But, it appears
that the site drains directly to Rocky Branch. Walnut Creek is a little further south of the facility. I don't see any
UTs on the map.
3. General Observations: Both the analytical and qualitative data lead me to believe that this is a dirty site.
4. Impairment: Not 303(d) listed. Not rated in the Basinwide Plan. However, the plan notes that there is
significant development in the drainage area (including NCSU's campus) that affects the stream. This stream is
also undergoing renovation by CWMTF.
5. Industrial Changes Since Previous Permit: As of October 2004, there had not been any significant changes. But,
they were planning to change material handling and storage procedures when they submitted the application.
6. Analytical Monitoring Notes: BOD, COD, TSS, and TP are consistently too high. EPA's permit requires TSS,
BOD5, COD, NO3+NO2, and TSS. Our previous permit required BOD, COD, TN, TP, and TSS. I recommend
that TN monitoring be replaced by NO3+NO2 and TKN for the upcoming permit cycle.
7. Qualitative Monitoring: The qualitative monitoring notes contain several reasons for concern. There are
multiple notes that there were "beans" or "meal" present. One date had an ammonia smell (this is in the Neuse
River basin, a nutrient -sensitive area.) In general, the qualitative data indicate a dirty site.
8. Threatened and Endangered: This site does not drain to an area that T&E species are known to inhabit. Figure 2
shows the facility's location in the watershed in relation to the nearest Natural Heritage Program (NHP) database
species downstream. The site is the red dot, and orange dot with the red, circled area is the location of four
species in the NHP database. None of the species are Federally threatened or endangered. One species, the
Atlantic Pigtoe, is a mussel that is listed as endangered for the state. But, the database reports that the accuracy
of the location data for this species is thought to be low, and it was last observed in 1951. Rocky Branch does
not fall within the area where the species are known to exist.

Revised Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring:
1. BOD, COD, TP and TSS monitoring has been continued from the previous permit. TN monitoring has been
replaced by NO3+NO2 and TKN for the upcoming permit cycle.
2. pH has been added to the analytical monitoring requirements.
3. 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.
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.
5. The permittee is required to collect all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during representative
stuttit events as defined iii Pait II Section B. Qualitative inonitwing is required regardless of representative
outfall status.
6. The permittee is responsible for all monitoring 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. (The total rainfall parameter is in
this permit, however.)
8. 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 11 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 11 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.

Subject: NPDES Stormwater Permit Renewal
Cargill Incorporated
Permit Number NCS000282
Wake County
Dear Permittee:
Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under NPDES Permit NCS000282. This permit expires
on April 30, 2005. North Carolina Administrative Code (15A NCAC 2H.0105(e)) requires that an application for
permit renewal be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current permit. In order to assure your continued
coverage under your permit, you must apply to the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) for renewal of your permit.
To make this renewal process easier, we are informing you in advance that your permit will be expiring. Enclosed
you will find an individual permit renewal application form, supplemental information request, and Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan certification.
Filing the application form along with the requested supplimental information will constitute your application for
renewal of your permit. As stated above, the application form must be completed and returned along with all
requested information by in order for the permit to be renewed by April 30, 2005.
Failure to request renewal by may result in a civil assessment of at least $500.00. Larger penalties may be
assessed depending on the delinquency of the request. 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 the permit renewal procedures please contact Bill Mills of the Stormwater and
General Permits Unit at (919) 733-5083, ext. 548.

Dear Permittee:
Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under NPDES Permit NCS000282. This permit
expires on August 31, 1999. In order to assure your continued coverage under your permit, you must apply to the
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) for renewal of your permit. To make this renewal process easier, we are
informing you in advance that your permit will be expiring. Enclosed you will find an individual permit renewal
application form, supplemental information request, and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan certification.
Filing the application form along with the requested supplimental information will constitute your application for
renewal of your permit. The application form must be completed and returned along with all requested
information within thirty days of receipt of this letter in order to constitute a timely renewal filing.
Recent legislation modified the fee structure for DWQ permits. Renewal fees have been eliminated and annual
fees have been changed. The new annual fee for your permit is now $715.00 (you will be invoiced later this year
for your annual fee.) A copy of the new fee schedule is enclosed in this package.
Failure to request renewal within the time period indicated may result in a civil assessment of at least $250.00.
Larger penalties may be assessed depending on the delinquency of the request. 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 $10,000 per day.
If you have any questions regarding the permit renewal procedures please contact Aisha Lau of the Stormwater
and General Permits Unit at (919) 733-5083, ext. 578.

Changes in Industrial Activities:
No significant changes in industrial activities have been implemented at the Cargill
facility. No significant work practices have been added or deleted, and no significant
change to the raw materials used by the facility has occurred or is planned.
A minimal change to material handling procedures and material storage procedures is
planned pending the certification and implementation of an updated SPCC plan. These
changes involve the use of temporary secondary containment structures when unloading
petroleum or chemical products at loading docks. The storage of used petroleum -based
lubricants is also to be relocated to an area within an existing secondary containment
dike.

Table 1 describes the tank containment and diversionary structures that are located on -site. The containment
and diversionary structures for the loadinglunloading and transfer areas are discussed in Section 12 of this plan.
Concrete dikes provide secondary containment for all oil -tanks onsite, except for Tank No. 5, which is located
directly southeast of the skim pit A one -foot curb sloped toward the sump area provides secondary
containment for Tank No. 5. The sump area is manually pumped to the drainage trench that discharges into the
skim pit. The secondary containment dikes include the Soybean Oil and Hexane Containment Dike and
Soybean Oil and Fuel Oil Tank Dike. The Soybean Oil and Hexane Containment Dike surrounds the soybean
oil storage tank (No. 1) and the north and south hexane storage tanks (hexane storage tanks not regulated by the
SPCC rules). The Soybean Oil and Fuel Oil Tank Dike surrounds the fuel oil tanks (Nos. 52 and 53), diesel fuel
storage (No. 53A), and two soybean oil storage tanks (Nos. 50 and 51).
The soybean oil Rail Loading Area includes concrete pads with curbing to divert spilled oil to the drains located
beneath the rail tracks. The five -inch curb routes any spill to the drains located under the rail tracks. The drains
discharge into the scale tank, and spilled material is manually pumped out. The Fuel Oil Unloading Area is the
fuel -tanker -truck unloading of fuel oils. The unloading area is surrounded on the north and east sides by the
walls of the Soybean Oil and Fuel Oil Tank Dike. The ground of the loading area is sloped to the back south
wall of the dike containment. The unloading area is a concrete pad The secondary containment for any oil
spilled is the drainage trench located west of the unloading area. The drainage trench is below the area due to
the slope of the ground, meaning all spills would flow directly into the trench, which discharges into a storm
containment basin with a capacity of 100,000 gallons. The Truck Loading Area includes concrete pads with
curbing to divert spilled oil to the drains. The drains discharge into a scale tank that collects spilled oil. The
tank must be manually pumped if oil collects.
