Changes for Renewal. The Division understands from your authorized consultant, Kevin Mullineaux (HSCS Environmental), that you have made no significant changes in your treatment facilities, and that Pamlico Packing intends to continue episodic processing of seafood. Please be advised that monthly Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) are required for months of non -production or non -discharge, each indicating "no flow" or "no discharge." Failure to submit a monthly DMR may result in assessment of civil penalties. For renewal therefore we have made only minimal changes to your permit by updating your facility description and site map. We have also added parameter codes to permit Sections A. (1.) through A. (5.) for your convenience. However, please note that electronic reporting of Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMR) is now required within 270 of the permit effective date.. Implementing Electronic Discharge Monitoring Reports (eDMRs). Please be advised that the Division will implement an electronic Discharge Monitoring.Report (eDMR) program, in accord with pending requirements by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). We have included the details required to implement the eDMR program in this permit [see permit Section A. (2.)].

Pamlico Packing wishes to maintain the permit for continued intermittent use. Considering the Permittee's wishes, the renewal strategy must consider that there are no effluent data, no seafood species, and production figures to apply to renewal. Therefore, NPDES will update this permit in accord with current renewal strategies applied to previous production. Permitting History and Facility Description. This facility was first permitted in 1980. The previous permit became effective .tune 1, 2008 and expired May 31, 2013. The Division has received appropriate documentation to renew. Pamlico Packing sits on the north western shore of the Bay River where local topography is flat and low-lying, about 0.5 feet above MSL. The Permittee operates a five- to six -day -per -week seafood packing and processing facility that utilizes both year-round and seasonal processes. Considering all waste streams, total discharge flow averages between 3,000 and 4,000 gallons per day (gpd) through 5 outfalls. The report noted that there are now five discharge pipes (outfalls 001 through 005) located within a 10- meter distance. Fact Sheet - Permit Renewal 2014 NPDFS NCO002071 Page 1 Outfall 001 -- fish packing (without processing) operates under General Permit conditions Outfall 002 -- fish processing (bottom fish) per 40CFR 408.212(b), Subpart U. Outfall 003 -- shrimp processing per 40CFR 408.122(b), Subpart L, Outfall 004 -- crab processing per 40CFR 408. 22(b), Subpart B. Outfall 005 -- boiler blowdown associated with crab cooking (not process -contact wastewater) Peak production (daily) has reached 6,000 lbs/day (shrimp), 6,000 Ibs/day (fish), and 800 lbs/day (crab), during summer months. Pamlico removes solids by physical screening through containers called "drain buckets" (a minor, Class I treatment facility). This facility discharges to the Neuse River estuary and is not a member of the Lower Neuse River Basin Association. Waste Load Allocation (WLA). The Division prepared the last Waste Load Allocation in 1991. Effluent limits were based on Guidelines (pH on saltwater guidelines). The Division views this allocation appropriate for renewal except as noted herein. Verification of Receiving Stream Conditions. The Division verified discharge to the Bay River, located within sub -basin 03-04-13 [stream segment 27-150-(1)]. This waterbody has been classified SC, Sw; NSW and ocean and wind tides influence stream flow. This waterbody is not listed as an "impaired" on the Division's 303 (d) list. This facility discharges upstream in proximity, but not within, a waterbody classified High Quality Waters (Sa, HQW; NSW), see revised map. PREVIOUS PERMITTING APPROACH (2008) Seafood Production. The Permittee's application estimated gross weights for processing fish (Table 2), shrimp (Table 3), and crab (Table 4), as required under federal regulations §40CFR 408, Subparts U, L and B, respectively. Production data provided by the Pennittee on December 4, 2007 is identical to the previous renewal application. Therefore for this renewal, the Division has not revised production -based permit limits.

For a 3-year period (January 2005 through December 2007), the Permittee reported analytical results in 5 to 7 months per year - all other months were reported as "No (low" months, in accord with the permit. Monthly levels of Total Suspended Solids (TSS) ranged from 0,009 lbs/day to 57 lbs/day (6,814 mg/L) in compliance with permit limits. Wide-ranging levels were reported for Oil & Grease at 0.0003 to 4.0 lbs/day again within limits of the permit. On January 29, 2007 the Permittee reported its lowest levels of Total Nitrogen (0.3 mg/L TN) and Total Phosphorus (0.04 mg/L TP), while on March 21, 2007 the Permittee reported its highest TN at 799 mg/L and TP at 51.6 mg/L. Currently TN and TP are not permit limited. Outfall 003 Shrimp Processing -- Review of DMRs. Similar to Outfall 002, the Permittee reported analytical results for 5 to 7 months per year - all other months reported as "No flow" months. From January 2005 through December 2007, flow at this outfall appears relatively low, with reported on -time rates between 2 gallons (0.00002 MGD) to 265 gallons (0.000265 MGD) total. Monthly values for TSS range from 0.004 lbs/day to 9.8 lbs/day (521 mg/L). DO levels appear consistent averaging 7.36 mg/L over 3 years. Oil & Grease levels appear relatively low with a maximum of 4.0 lbs/day (8.1 mg/L). TN levels vary widely from a minimum of 0.22 mg/L (November 30, 2006) to a maximum of 566 mg/L (March 21, 2006) at 0.002809 MGD. The Permittee reported relatively high single -day levels of TP at 38.4 mg/L and TN at 566 mg/L on March 21, 2006. Outfall 004 Crab Processing -- Review of DMRs. For a 3-year period (January 2005 through December 2007), the Permittee collected samples 4 to 5 months per year - all other months were reported as "No flow Month:" Several parameters appear generally compliant such as Temperature (seasonally within range), Dissolved Oxygen (6.7 to 8.2 mg/L), and pH (7.0 to 7.6 su). Monthly levels for TSS however range widely from a maximum of 11.1 lbs/day (474 mg/L) at < 0.003 MGD to a minimum of 0,05 lbs/day (2.13 mg/L) at an estimated flow of 1000 gallons (0.001 MGD). TN levels also varied widely from a maximum of 155 mg/L to a minimum of 1.03 mg/L reported at a flow of 0.002809 MGD for this 3-year period. Similarly TN and TP spiked on a particular sampling day (September 9, 2006) when the Permittee report levels of TP at 33.24 mg/L and TN at 155 mg/L.
