Please Note --New Permit Conditions. The Division understands that this facility was destroyed by
fire during the previous permit cycle. Although the facility may have been partially rebuilt, Fulcher's
Point Pride has not resumed operations or discharge, based on Discharge Monitoring Reports submitted
by the Permittee (January 2001 through December 2005). Therefore, Production data are not
available to establish permit limits and monitoring conditions for this renewal. Limits and
monitoring conditions appearing in the permit are based on previous facility outfalls, previous
production records, and previous waste-stream characteristics.
Based on the above, the Division shall stipulate in the permit that, prior to resuming operations, the
Permittee shall submit a written request to modify this permit, a minimums of 180 days prior to
resuming discharge. This request shall include a site map with outfall locations, scale drawings of the
facility, estimates of production, and associated waste-flow characteristics for each outfall whereby the
Division may calculate new permit limits and monitoring conditions.
Upon submittal of new production data, permit limits will be developed according to 40 CFR 408 and
appropriate subparts for each outfall.
If any parts, measurement frequencies, or sampling requirements contained in this permit are
unacceptable, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty(30) days
after receiving this letter. Your request must be in the form of a written petition conforming to Chapter
150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and must be filed with the office of Administrative

to modify this permit, a minimum of 180 days prior to discharge. This submittal shall
include a site map (including outfall locations), scale drawings of the facility, estimates of
production, and associated waste-flow characteristics whereby the Division may calculate new
permit limits and conditions.

A. (3.) TOTAL NITROGEN MONITORING
The Permittee shall calculate the annual mass loading of total nitrogen as the sum of quarterly loadings, according to
the following equations:
(1) Quarterly Mass Loading(lb/qtr) = TN x Q x 8.34
where:
TN = the average total nitrogen concentration(mg/L)of the grab samples collected during the
quarter
Q = the total wastewater flow discharged during the quarter(MG/qtr)
8.34 = conversion factor, from(mg/L x MG)to pounds
(2) Annual Mass Loading(lb/yr) = E(Quarterly Mass Loadings) for the calendar year
The Permittee shall report the total nitrogen concentration for each sample and the quarterly mass loading in the
appropriate self-monitoring report and the annual mass loading of total nitrogen in the December

SUMMARY
Fulcher's Point Pride Seafood.has historically processed and packed crab, shrimp and fish at a
facility located in Pamlico County in Subbasin 03-04-10 within the Neuse River Basin. The
facility discharges into the mouth of Raccoon Creek [27-129-81 at Greens Creek,just upstream
of the confluence of Greens Creek and the Neuse River. Raccoon Creek is classified as SC —
NSW, HQW.
RENEWAL STRATEGY:
• The Division understands that this facility was destroyed by fire sometime late in the year
2000. Although the facility may have been partially rebuilt, this facility has not resumed
operation or discharge, based on Discharge Monitoring Reports submitted by the Permittee
(January 2001 through December 2005). Production data are not available to establish
permit limits and monitoring conditions for this renewal. Therefore, limits and monitoring
conditions appearing in the permit are based on previous facility outfalls, previous production
records, and previous waste-stream characteristics.
Based on the above, the Division shall stipulate in the permit that, prior to resuming
operations, the Permittee shall submit a written request to modify this permit, a
minimum of 180 days prior to resuming discharge. The Permittee shall submit for Division
review, a site map with location(s) of outfall(s), scale drawings of the facility, estimates of
production, and associated waste-flow characteristics for each outfall.
Upon submittal of new data, permit limits will be developed using production data according to
40 CFR 408 and appropriate subparts for each outfall.
PROPOSED SCHEDULE FOR PERMIT ISSUANCE:
Public Notice: This permit will not be sent to Public Notice until modified(see Renewal Strategy).
Scheduled to Issue: January 6, 2006.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMaMATIONS
The site visit revealed that the crab and fish processing plant that
was previously permitted had burned down. A new plant is being built and
therefore some of the discharge locations and outfall numbers have changed.
The new facility is scheduled to be operational by the Spring of 2004 . The
discussions with the permittee revealed that the facility will have a daily
discharge of boiler blowdown during crab processing operations in the summer
months. The boiler blowdown will be discharged via a separate pipe apart from
the other outfalls. A separate outfall has also been constructed for a crab
washing pit. It was noted during the site visit that the total requested flow
is increased due to the inclusion of the boiler and the crab washing basin.
The Washington Regional Office recommends that this permit be renewed for 5
years with the addition of the appropriate monitoring and limitations
requirements for Outfall 001(Boiler Slowdown) and Outfall 003(Crab Washing) .
