C. 27889-3314 Re: Pump & Haul Disposal System PCS Phosphate Inc. - Beaufort County Dear Robert, Enclosed is a completed application for a Pump & Haul Disposal System. This request is for our former STF Control Room. As discussed by phone we are trying to open a restroom for delivery drivers to use. The STF Control Room restroom is currently isolated from the collection system piping. This facility was part of the STF Plant we shut down years ago. The rest room was blinded off. Construction activities resulted the pump tank being cut off from the main collection system. In consultation with Highfill Infrastructure we have developed a plan to reconnect the isolated pump tank. We are currently obtaining quotes to accomplish this task. We are pursuing a pump and haul permit until we can reconnect to the collection system. Please do not hesitate to call me at 252-322-8283 should you have any questions concerning this. Sincerely, YO.Ys-\6l D.

An internal Pump and Haul Procedure is provided which outlines how this will be accomplished safely with safeguards to prevent spills.

The following items will be documented during inspection: • Power Indication Light is ON (Daily) • Tank Level is below 50% Capacity (Daily) ■ Audible alarm test (Weekly) Power Indication Light Alarm Test Button High Level Alarm The holding tank will have a storage volume of 470 gallons. This tank is equipped with two high level alarms (audible and visual): ■ The first alarm is set at 50% capacity. This will sound locally at the pump station control box and inside the AHF Control Room. ■ The second alarm is set at 80% capacity with an output signal to a solenoid valve on the potable water supply line to the AHF Control Room. Should the second alarm level be reached the water supply to the Control Room will close to prevent overflow from the pump tank. Tank Pumping Frequency Arrangements will be made for the Central Maintenance Support Shop to check the pump tank and pump out contents weekly. The contents will be removed using the site's portable sewage holding tank (honey wagon). The honey wagon capacity is 500 gallons and is used to prevent contamination of the vacuum trucks with sewage. This system is used for routine maintenance on the 48-permitted pump tanks associate with our collection system. The contents of the honey wagon will be introduced to the collection system through another pump tank, or the Main Lift Station. If a high-level alarm occurs outside of the scheduled pump -out, the AHF project team will notify the support shop to empty the pump tank. Attachment 1 Pressure Sewdge Systems
