No New expiration date 3/31/2028 Comments on Draft Permit? See Section 6 below Section 1. Facility Activities and Process: Perdue Grain & Oilseed, LLC - Cofield is a soybean and animal feed processing plant. Per the 2010 inspection report, the facility has four (4) primary industrial activities: 1) Soybean extraction plant, 2) Poultry feed mill, 3) Grain storage, and 4) Maintenance garage (farm machinery). The site also has a wastewater spray irrigation operation (covered under a separate permit). Soybean crude oil, #6 fuel oil, #2 diesel fuel, and gasoline are stored/handled onsite. Outfall SW001: Drainage area includes soybean crude oil storage, processing, #2 diesel fuel island, and extraction prep process. Outfall SWO02: Drainage area includes feed mill processing, grain storage, and maintenance. Outfall SWO03: Drainage area includes garage vehicle maintenance. Why Industrial Sites with Stormwater are Subject to a Permit: Federal NPDES regulations define stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity in 40 CFR § 122.26 (b)(14) as: "the discharge from any conveyance that is used for collecting and conveying storm water and that is directly related to manufacturing, processing or raw materials storage areas at an industrial plant. The term does not include discharges from facilities or activities excluded from the NPDES program under this part 122. For the categories of industries identified in this section, the term includes, but is not limited to, storm water [sic] discharges from industrial plant yards; immediate access roads and rail lines used or traveled Page 1 of 7 by carriers of raw materials, manufactured products, waste material, or byproducts used or created by the facility; material handling sites; refuse sites; sites used for the application or disposal of process waste waters (as defined at part 401 of this chapter); sites used for the storage and maintenance of material handling equipment; sites used for residual treatment, storage, or disposal; shipping and receiving areas; manufacturing buildings; storage areas (including tank farms) for raw materials, and intermediate and final products; and areas where industrial activity has taken place in the past and significant materials remain and are exposed to storm water. For the purposes of this paragraph, material handling activities include storage, loading and unloading, transportation, or conveyance of any raw material, intermediate product, final product, byproduct or waste product. The term excludes areas located on plant lands separate from the plant's industrial activities, such as office buildings and accompanying parking lots as long as the drainage from the excluded areas is not mixed with storm water [sic] drained from the above described areas." Section 2. Monitoring Information and Compliance History: • March 2011 to March 2022, benchmarks exceeded for: o Outfall 001: TSS 3x, COD 4x, BOD 4x, TP 3x, Ammonia Ix o Outfall 002: TSS 3x, COD 7x, BOD 3x, TP 3x, Ammonia 2x, TKN Ix, TN Ix • Per the April 2022 inspection report, 2021 sampling results showed the facility exceeded benchmark values for TSR and COD at Outfalls 001 and 002, starting Tier Two monthly sampling in January 2022. 4/2022 inspection report: Based on sampling results from 2021, the facility exceeded benchmark values for TSR & COD at Outfalls 001 and 002. They started Tier Two monthly sampling January 2022 and are working to implement more frequent housekeeping procedures to reduce solids in the stormwater collection system. Per the 2010 permit fact sheet, analytical data showed significant nitrogen concentrations and that TKN (organic N + Ammonia N) accounted for the majority of the total nitrogen load in the facility's discharges. It was unknown what portion of TKN was ammonia nitrogen vs organic nitrogen. Threatened/Endangered Species: There are no threatened/endangered species at the point of discharge, however, there are several species in the vicinity, including: Atlantic Sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus oxyrinchus; NC status: E; Federal status: E), Eastern Pondmussel (Ligumia nasuta; NC status: T), Tidewater Mucket (Leptodea ochracea; NC status: T), Eastern Lampmussel (Lampsilis radiata; NC status: T), Triangle Floater (Alasmidonta undulata; NC status: T), Northern Lance (Elliptio fisherianal; NC status: SR). Section 3. Proposed Monitoring for Stormwater Discharges: The Division considered potential pollutants from past and present industrial activities and data was submitted for March 2011 to January 2022. Quantitative sampling included pH, TSS, COD, BOD, TKN, Total Phosphorus, Total Nitrogen, Ammonia, and O&G. Unlike most stormwater permits in its program, the Division is proposing a permit structure with outfall- specific monitoring for discharges. Parameters are based on potential pollutants in the drainage area, sampling results, and in some cases, dependent upon future activities (e.g., ash removal through the Page 2 of 7 drainage area). Below is a table of the proposed monitoring for each outfall at the Perdue Grain & Oilseed, LLC - Cofield site. Outfalls SWO01 and SWO02 Quarterly monitoring Total Suspended Solids BASIS: Potential pollutant from drainage area and BMP effectiveness (TSS) indicator. Quarterly monitoring PH BASIS: Pollutant indicator Quarterly monitoring Total Rainfall BASIS: Discharge potential indicator Quarterly monitoring Non -Polar Oil &Grease BASIS: Potential pollutant from lubricants; Method 1664 SGT-HEM targets petroleum -based O&G Quarterly monitoring Monthly Oil Usage BASIS: Potential pollutant from drainage area Quarterly monitoring BOD BASIS: Discharge potential indicator Quarterly monitoring COD BASIS: Discharge potential indicator Quarterly monitoring Total Phosphorus BASIS: Discharge potential indicator Quarterly monitoring Total Nitrogen BASIS: Discharge potential indicator Quarterly monitoring Ammonia Nitrogen BASIS: Discharge potential indicator Outfall SWO03 Quarterly monitoring Total Suspended Solids BASIS: Potential pollutant from drainage area and BMP effectiveness (TSS) indicator. Quarterly monitoring PH BASIS: Pollutant indicator Total Rainfall Quarterly monitoring BASIS: Discharge potential indicator Page 3 of 7 Quarterly monitoring Non -Polar Oil &Grease BASIS: Potential pollutant from lubricants; Method 1664 SGT-HEM targets petroleum -based O&G Quarterly monitoring Monthly Oil Usage BASIS: Potential pollutant from drainage area Stormwater Benchmarks and Tiered Response: Rather than limits, North Carolina NPDES Stormwater permits contain benchmark concentrations. Stormwater benchmarks are numerical action levels for stormwater monitoring. Benchmarks are not effluent limits, and benchmark exceedances are not permit violations. Benchmarks provide facilities a tool for assessing the significance of pollutants in stormwater discharges and the effectiveness of best management practices (BMPs). Benchmark concentrations are intended as guidelines for the facility's development and implementation of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). Benchmark exceedances require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater BMPs in a tiered program. The permit establishes a tiered approach to specify actions the permittee must take in response to analytical results above benchmark concentrations. The tiered structure of the permit provides the permittee and DEMLR wide flexibility to address issues that may arise with one or more parameters and/or outfalls. Metals benchmarks are calculated to mimic acute water quality standards and with the guidance of DWR. NC DWR follows established federal procedures for calculating acute standards when developing the benchmarks. Just like the acute standards, metals benchmarks normally reflect one half of the calculated Final Acute Value (the "1/2 FAV"). In most cases, translation into total recoverable values is based on an assumed hardness of 25 mg/L and a total suspended solids (TSS) concentration of 10 mg/L. Acute standards protect aquatic life from negative impacts of short-term exposure to higher levels of chemicals where the discharge enters a waterbody. The Stormwater Permitting Program applies this approach because of the ephemeral nature of rainfall events. The Division may evaluate results to determine if a smaller suite of parameters for some outfalls is adequate to characterize potential pollution or BMP effectiveness. For example, one or more metals or other parameters may serve as an adequate tracer for the presence of ash pollution during disturbance or ash removal in specific drainage areas at this site. For parameters that do not have a stormwater benchmark, the Division may develop a benchmark value if appropriate toxicity data become available or if rising trends in concentrations suggest a persistent source. A summary of the benchmarks in the draft permit, and their basis, is below: Parameter Benchmark Basis BPJ; Based on Secondary Treatment Regulation (40 CFR BOD 30 mg/L 133.03 BPJ; Generally found at levels 4x BOD5 in domestic COD 120 mg/L wastewaters Total Phosphorus 2 mg/L BPJ; Based on wastewater permit limits for NSW waters Page 4 of 7 Total Nitrogen 30 mg/L TKN + Nitrate + Nitrite Benchmarks (Expressed in mg/L of N Ammonia Nitrogen 5.6 mg/L Based on the mussels-present/trout absent acute criteria table summer in the 2013 EPA criteria document Ammonia Nitrogen 15mg/L Based on the mussels-present/trout absent acute criteria table winter in the 2013 EPA criteria document Total Suspended 100 mg/L National Urban Runoff Program (NURP) Study, 1983 Solids TSS H 6 s.u. — 9 s.u. NC Water Quality Standard (Range) Non -Polar Oil & Review of other state's daily maximum benchmark Grease, EPA 15 mg/L concentration for this more targeted O&G; NC WQS that Method 1664 does not allow oil sheen in waters SGT-HEM Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan: The proposed permit conditions reflect the EPA and NC's pollution prevention approach to stormwater permitting. The Division's maintains that implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) and traditional stormwater management practices that control the source of pollutants meets the definition of Best Available Technology (BAT) and Best Conventional Pollutant Control Technology (BCT). The permit conditions are not numeric effluent limitations but are designed to be flexible requirements for implementing site -specific plans to minimize and control pollutants in stormwater discharges associated with the industrial activity. Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) § 122.44(k)(2) authorizes the use of BMPs in lieu of numeric effluent limitations in NPDES permits when the agency finds numeric effluent limitations to be infeasible. The agency may also impose BMP requirements which are "reasonably necessary" to carry out the purposes of the Act under the authority of 40 CFR 122.44(k)(3). The conditions proposed in this draft permit are included under the authority of both of these regulatory provisions. In essence, the pollution prevention and BMP requirements operate as limitations on effluent discharges that reflect the application of BAT/BCT. Flexibility in Tier Responses: Tier Two actions provide an opportunity for the permittee to propose an alternative monitoring plan for approval by the Region: • Alternatively, in lieu of steps 2 and 3, the permittee may, after two consecutive exceedances, exercise the option of contacting the DEMLR Regional Engineer as provided below in Tier Three. The Regional Engineer may direct the response actions on the part of the permittee as provided in Tier Three, including reduced or additional sampling parameters or frequency. • If pursuing the alternative above after two consecutive exceedances, the permittee may propose an alternative monitoring plan for approval by the Regional Engineer. The permit therefore allows the permittee to petition the Regional Office for monitoring changes sooner than Tier Three (upon any four benchmark exceedances) and gives guidance on one option to take. For example, the permittee may request that mercury only be monitored semi-annually under the tiers, or that only parameters over the benchmark be monitored more frequently. In this way, changes to the monitoring scheme for any outfall could be handled outside of a permit modification. Other Proposed Requirements: • It is standard for Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) requirements to include an annual certification that stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non- stormwater discharges, and if any are identified, how those discharges are permitted or otherwise authorized. Page 5 of 7 • Requirement to submit a request for permit modification if the facility identifies or creates any new outfalls, removes outfalls, or alters any drainage area that changes potential pollutants. • The Division expects the permittee to apply best professional judgment and consider the safety of its personnel in fulfilling sampling obligations under the permit. • Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs). If a state does not establish a system to receive such submittals, then permittees must submit DMRs electronically to the EPA. • Quarterly QualitativeNisual Monitoring to assure regular observation of outfalls throughout year. Section 4. Changes from previous permit to draft: • Monitoring increased from semi-annually to quarterly for all parameters (qualitative and quantitative) • "No discharge" clarifications made • eDMR requirement added • Boilerplate language moved into body of the permit; boilerplate no longer attached • Benchmarks updated for parameters per guidance from DWR Standards group on stormwater benchmarks • Removed TKN as TN monitoring is required Section 5. Changes from draft to final: • Facility name and owner updated based on comments from permittee Section 6. Discussions with the Facility and Regional Office: • Initial contact with facility: 7/6/2022 • Initial contact with Regional Office: 7/6/2022 • Draft sent to CO peer review: N/A • Draft sent to Regional Office: 12/15/2022 • Final permit sent for supervisor signature: 2/27/2023 Section 7.

We would like to question this requirement as outfalls 1 and 2 do not have vehicles awaiting maintenance in these areas. This would only apply to outfall 3. Page 6 of 7 DEMLR response: Non -polar oil and grease and Estimated average monthly oil usage are parameters included in all individual stormwater permits. As stated in the draft permit, monitoring and reporting for non -polar O&G are only required if > 55 gallons/month of oil is used on average per EPA Method 1664. For monthly oil usage, tracking should be kept for any equipment that utilizes motor oil and hydraulic oil.
