Permit No. NCO003174
' Fulcher's Point Pride Seafood. Inc.
Pamlico County
Dear Mr. Fulcher:
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the
subject permit. Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This
permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215. 1
and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency dated May 9, 1994 (or as subsequently amended).
Again, please be reminded that this facility's discharge is located in the Neuse River
Basin, in which all streams have been designated as nutrient sensitive waters (NSVI) as a result
of algal bloom problems in the estuary. The North Carolina Environmental Management
Commission recently adopted rules establishing the Neuse River Basin Nutrient Sensitive
Waters Management Strategy for the reduction of phosphorus and nitrogen inputs. The point
source rule (15A NCAC 2B .0234) is intended to reduce total nitrogen (TN) discharges by 30%
by 2003. It specifies that individually permitted wastewater discharges to the Neuse River
Basin with permitted flows less than 0.5 MGD in 1995 shall be allocated a collective annual
mass load of 155,400 pounds/year of total nitrogen. This is equivalent to an allocation in the
range of 5,- 10 mg/1 TN for each small discharger. Although no total nitrogen limits appear
in the permit at this time, you may be subject to nitrogen limits in the next permitting
cycle. All facilities with permitted flow greater than or equal to 0.5 MGD are receiving a TN
limit in this permit cycle.
The Division recommends that you evaluate the cost of installation for nutrient removal
facilities in the event that a nutrient limit is imposed on your plant. It is also recommended
that alternative discharge options be evaluated such as such as spray irrigation, subsurface
systems, wastewater reuse, or connection to a larger regional system.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this
permit are unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written
request within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form
of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and
filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings (6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North
Carolina 27699-6714). Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.

Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The
Division may require modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit
does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the
Division of Water Quality or permits required by the Division of Land Resources, the Coastal
Area Management Act or any other Federal or Local governmental permit that may be required.

A. (3.) TOTAL NITROGEN MONITORING
The Permi(tee shall calculate the annual mass loading of total nitrogen as the sum of quarterly loadings, according to

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)
ZT
8.34 = conversion factor, from (mg/L x MG) to pounds
(2) Annual ti•lass Loading(lb/yr) = E (Quarterly Mass Loadings) for the calendar year
The Perrnittee 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 is a crab, shrimp and fish processing and packing facility located
in Pamlico County. Pamlico County is located in eastern North Carolina. Though the county
does not directly border the Intracoastal waterway portions of the county lie within the Neuse
River estuary. The facility discharges into mouth of Raccoon Creek in subbasin 03-04-10 in
the Neuse River Basin. Raccoon Creek is classified as SC - NSW HQW and discharges into the
Greens Creek just upstream of the confluence of Greens Creek and the Neuse River.
There is one ambient monitoring station in the Neuse River just upstream of the confluence of
Greens Creek and the Neuse (liver and one downstream near Pamlico. There are six Benthic
Macroinvertebrate monitoring sites near Oriental, three in Oriental Harbor, two in Greens
Creek and one in the Neuse River. The three in Oriental Harbor are the closest Benthic sites,
one upstream of the discharge, one at the discharge, and one downstream of the discharge at
the confluence of Greens Creek and Raccoon Creek. The number of species and the Esturine
Biotic Index are low at all six stations, however, because of the dynamic state present within
the esturine environment no conclusions can be inferred.
The subbasin has a 702 square mile areal extent. Primariy land uses include forest/wetlands
(56.2%), water (26.1%), cultivated crops (10.5%) and urban (6.3%).
Wastewater from fish and shrimp processing is discharged through outfall 001 and wastewater
from crab processing is discharged through outfall 002_ The average flow through outfall 001
is 1800 gallons per day and average flow through outfall 002 is 1600 gallons per day.
According to the permittee, the discharge occurs usually one day•la week 12 months of the year.
The permit was originally issued August 9, 1982 with a design flow of 0.0046 MGD. The
discharge code is 25 and 30, which correspond to fish and seafood processing and packing,
respectively.
Permit limits will be developed using the production data supplied according to 40 CFR 408
subpart B, subpart L, and subpart U for the appropriate outfall.

03-04-10 in the Neuse River Basin. Raccoon Creek is classified as SC — NSW HQW and
discharges into the Green's Creek just upstream of the confluence of Green's Creek and
the Neuse River.
There is one ambient monitoring station in the Neuse River just upstream of the
confluence of Green's Creek and the Neese River and one downstream near Pamlico.
There are six Benthic Macroinvertebrate monitoring sites near Oriental, three in Oriental
Harbor, two in Green's Creek and one in the Neuse River. The three in Oriental Harbor
are the closest Benthic sites, one upstream of the discharge, one at the discharge, and one
downstream of the discharge at the confluence of Green's Creek and Raccoon Creek.
The subbasin has an 702 square mile arial extent and is primarily cover with
forest/wetlands (56.2%), water (26.1%), cultivated crops (10.5%) and urban (6.3%).
Fish and shrimp wastewater is discharged through outfall 001 and crab wastewater is
discharged through outfall 002. The average flow through outfall 001 is 1800 gallons per
day and average flow through outfall 002 is 1600 gallons per day. According to the
permittee the discharge is intermittent and occurs year round. The permit was originally
issued August 9, 1982 with a design flow of 0.0046 MGD. The discharge code is 25 and

DMRs are being submitted. The facility appears to be in compliance with all permitted
limits.
Basin Plan Review
The facility is located in the Neuse River Basin. The entire basin has been designated as
Nutrient Sensitive Waters.
Raccoon Creek is not listed on the state's 1998 or 2000 303(d) list.
General Comments
Limited production data was submitted with the permit application. Chris Fulcher
(Fulcher's seafood) was contacted and asked to provide additional production data. Per
our phone conversation the following production data was obtained:
Finfish: 2,300,000 lb/year
Shrimp: 1,200,000 lb/year
Blue Crab:3,000,000 lb/year
Permit limits will be developed using the production data supplied according to 40 CFR
408 subpart B, subpart L, and subpart U for the appropriate outfall.

Using the current production figures permit limits were calculated and are depicted on the
attached table.
