Subject: Stormwater Discharge Outfall (SDO) Monitoring Form
GE — Wilmington, NC
Permit Number: NCS000022
Attached is the semi-annual Stormwater Monitoring Report for the GE / GNF-A Facility in
Wilmington, NC for the second half of 2019. The sampling was performed during a measurable
rain event on 11/5/2019 and the data was received from the lab on 11/15/2019.
There were two minor spills this reporting period. None of the leaks involved hazardous
materials and for one spill, a courtesy notification was made to the NC DEQ DWR Regional
Office located in Wilmington, NC. These leaks are summarized on the attached Appendix 1.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please call me at 910-547-2758 or

Appendix 1: 2"d Half 2019 Leak Summary
During this stormwater reporting period, the site experienced two releases that are reportable
per the site permit NCS000022. These leaks were primarily small quantity process water spills.
Spill No. 1
On 9/5/19, in preparation for Hurricane Dorian, the Waste Treatment Operator in Responsible
Charge (ORC) decided to lower the water level in the Waste Treatment Central Lagoon by
treating and transferring to Process Lagoons. Piping was damaged and not noticed during a
walkdown prior to pumping from waste treatment to the process lagoons. This resulted in dilute
process waste water being discharged to the soil.
Upon discovery, the water was contained and sampled. Sample results were all below
regulatory limits. Based on totalizer readings, the total quantity of process waste water
discharged was estimated at approximately 8,000 gallons_ None of the lost water flowed
through a storm water conveyance nor reached waters of the state. Due to the volume of the
spill, a courtesy notification was made to Dean Hunkele with the North Carolina Division of
Water Resources (NC DWR). In follow-up, Dean requested a WWTP Upset, Spill or Bypass
form which was submitted on 9/11/2019. The damaged pipe has been repaired.
Spill No. 2
On 11/7/19, a small leak started from a process waste water line at approximately 7:45 a.m.
and was contained by 9:15 a.m. the same day. Metal brackets holding the pipe in place broke
causing the pipe to sag resulting in a steady drip. The water involved was process waste water
from the Fuels Manufacturing Operation (FMO). Total quantity was estimated at less than 20
gallons. None of the lost water flowed through a storm water conveyance nor reached waters
of the state. Due to the lack of volume or environmental risk, no notifications were required at
the time. The line is currently out of service and there is a project to install all new piping which
should finish by 01 2020.
