No Any TMDLs? No Any threatened and/or endangered species? See Section 2 below Any compliance concerns? See Section 2 below Any permit mods since lastpermit? See Section 1 below New expiration date 8/31/2028 Comments on Draft Permit? See Section 6 below Section 1. Facility Activities and Process: Hexion, Inc. is an inorganic chemical manufacturer that produces formaldehyde, wax emulsions, urea- formaldehyde concentrate, urea-formaldehyde resins, methanol/formaldehyde blend(methaform), and phenol-formaldehyde resins/adhesives. The facility previously produced hexamine (manufacturing facility has not been used for several years). Per the previous permit fact sheet, materials are brought by rail and truck and stored in tanks on site, and the majority of the industrial area drains to the pretreatment WWTP. TRI has releases of phenol, methanol, formaldehyde, mercury, ammonia, and triethylamine listed. Per information provided 9/22/2022, additional raw materials that have the potential to come into contact with stormwater include: Acetic Acid, Glacial GN 8-Low Chloride Sodium Hydroxide Alpha Olefin Wax A Guar Gum Sodium Sulfate Anhydrous Ammonia Aqua Magnesium Chloride HS-100 solution Borax Melamine Corn Starch Boric Acid Methanol Stearic Acid, Liquid Crude Glycerine Methocel Sulfonated Naphthalene Molasses Phenol Sulfuric Acid Diethylene Glycol Potassium Carbonate Defoamer Dry Material Additive Potassium Hydroxide Triethanolamine FC-414 Antifoam Rhodoline Urea Foam-A-Tac 611 Slack Wax Water-Based Silicone Emulsion Formic Acid Sodium Bicarbonate Wheat Flour Formaldehyde Sodium Carbonate-Anhydrous Wil-Fil Page 1 of 8 Per the 2015 permit renewal application, old formaldehyde storage tanks have been replaced with new ones along with new secondary containment. There has been increased automation in the facility, and secondary containment has been expanded for the methanol tanks and tank farm. Per information received 9/22/2022, the production of hexamine has been stopped therefore aqua ammonia is no longer received at the facility. Outfall SW001: Drainage area consists of an employee parking lots, tanker truck parking area, covered bulk urea unloading area, formaldehyde truck loading area, methanol unloading and storage, main warehouse loading dock, wastewater treatment system, and tank farm. Outfall SW002: Drainage area consists of a raw material,phenol-formaldehyde, aqueous ammonia, ready to use resin tank farms, and cooling towers (blowdown and cooling tower water go to the WWTP). Outfall SW003: Drainage area consists of a covered flammable liquid drum storage area, graveled tank truck parking area, and the edge of the phenol-formaldehyde and ready to use resin processes. 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 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: • October 2011 to March 2022, benchmarks exceeded for: o SW001: COD 12x, TN 2x, pH min not reached Ix o SW002: Ammonia nitrogen 2x, COD Ix, TN Ix,pH min not reached Ix o SW003: COD Ix, pH min not reached Ix Page 2 of 8 • Per the permit file history, an underground line leak led to a methanol spill in 2008 (some reaching surface waters) o Duration: 3 months o Amount spilled: 234,000 gallons • Tier Two monthly monitoring was conducted in 2015 and again in 2017/2018 for outfall 001 due to consecutive exceedances of COD Threatened/Endangered Species: There are no threatened/endangered species in the vicinity of discharge, however, there are other species of concern at the location and in the surrounding area. These include: Shining Clubtail (Stylurus ivae; NC status: SR), Coppery Emerald(Somatochlora georgiana;NC status: SR), Swamp Jessamine (Gelsemium rankinii; NC status: SC-V), and Batesburg Hawthorn (Crataegus munda var. munda; NC status: SR-T). Section 3. Proposed Monitoring for Stormwater Discharges: The Division considered potential pollutants from past and present industrial activities and data was submitted for October 2011 to March 2022. Quantitative sampling included ammonia nitrogen, BOD, COD, nitrate, nitrite, total nitrogen, TKN, methanol, and pH. 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 drainage area). Below is a table of the proposed monitoring for each outfall at the Hexion, Inc. site. Outfalls SWO01 and SWO03 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 Page 3 of 8 Quarterly monitoring Total Nitrogen BASIS: Discharge potential indicator Quarterly monitoring Methanol BASIS: Potential pollutant from drainage area Quarterly monitoring Formaldehyde BASIS: Potential pollutant from drainage area Outfall SWO02 Quarterly monitoring Total Suspended Solids BASIS: Potential pollutant from drainage area and BMP effectiveness (TSS) indicator.

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 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 15 mg/L concentration for this more targeted O&G;NC WQS that EPA Method 1664 does not allow oil sheen in waters (SGT-HEM BOD 30 mg/L BPJ; Based on Secondary Treatment Regulation(40 CFR g 133.03 COD 120 mg/L BPJ; Generally found at levels 4x BOD5 in domestic wastewaters Page 5 of 8 Total Nitrogen 30 mg/L TKN +Nitrate +Nitrite Benchmarks (Expressed in mg/L of N Ammonia Nitrogen At 7.5 s.u. pH and summer(26°C) temperature from 5.6 mg/L Wasteload Allocation document for the coastal plain region (summer) worst-case scenario Ammonia Nitrogen At 7.5 s.u. pH and winter(14°C) temperature from Wasteload (winter) 15 mg/L Allocation document for the coastal plain region(worst-case scenario) Methanol 6,400 mg/L Species Mean Acute Value of two 96-hour equilibrium EC50 endpoints for Le omis machrochiris blue ill Formaldehyde 0.5 mg/L '/2 FAV 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. • 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. Page 6 of 8 • 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 • Feasibility study removed • Outfall specific monitoring implemented • Boilerplate language moved into body of the permit; boilerplate no longer attached • Monitoring for TKN removed as monitoring for total nitrogen is already required • Monitoring for ammonia nitrogen removed as aqua ammonia is no longer delivered to the facility • Monitoring for formaldehyde added for all outfalls as used in industrial processes and stored onsite • Benchmarks updated for parameters per guidance from DWR Standards group on stormwater benchmarks Section 5. Changes from draft to final: • Monitoring for ammonia nitrogen added to SWO02 per permittee comments on draft permit • Monitoring for methanol added to SWO03 per permittee comments on draft permit • Outfall descriptions updated under Tables 1 and 2 • Solvent management plan included in Part B Section 6. Discussions with the Facility and Regional Office: • Initial contact with facility: 8/25/2022 • Initial contact with Regional Office: 8/25/2022 • Draft sent to CO peer review: N/A • Draft sent to Regional Office: 6/14/2023 • Final permit sent for supervisor signature: 7/26/2023 Page 7 of 8 Section 7. Comments received on draft permit: • Caleb Stoker (permittee; via email 7/17/2023): Hexion proposes the following updates to the draft permit: o Add Ammonia as Nitrogen to the analytical monitoring requirements for Outfall SW002. Although anhydrous ammonia is no longer utilized onsite, aqueous ammonia is a raw material that is offloaded from bulk tankers in the area of Outfall SW002. ■ DEMLR Response: Monitoring will be added to SW002. o Add Methanol to the analytical monitoring requirements for Outfall SW003. The methanol storage tank containment area is partially located in the drainage area for Outfall SW003. ■ DEMLR Response: Monitoring will be added to SW003. o Amend the Outfall descriptions. Hexion proposes the following: ■ Outfall SW001: Drainage area consists of employee parking lots, main office buildings, main warehouse loading dock, methanol unloading and storage (have secondary containment and sampled prior to release to stormwater), tanker trailer and railcar parking/storage areas, a covered bulk urea unloading area, and finish product tanker truck loading operations. It is adjacent to a tank farm storage area, and finish product tanker truck loading operations—which all have containment and any process contact stormwater would drain to onsite wastewater treatment. ■ Outfall SW002: Drainage area consists of aqueous ammonia tanker truck offloading area, finish product tanker truck loading operations, and process cooling towers (cooling tower water and blowdown go to onsite wastewater treatment). It is adjacent to raw material and finished product tank farm storage— which all have containment and any process contact stormwater would drain to onsite wastewater treatment. ■ Outfall SW003: Drainage area consists of methanol unloading and storage (have secondary containment and sampled prior to release to stormwater), tanker trailer and railcar parking/storage areas, a covered flammable storage area for liquid drums and totes (has secondary containment), and process cooling towers (cooling tower water and blowdown go to onsite wastewater treatment). It is adjacent to the MO formaldehyde processes and former(inactive)hexamine plant —which all have containment and any process contact stormwater would drain to onsite wastewater treatment. ■ DEMLR Response: The description of activities in the outfall drainage areas within the permit are meant to be concise. The requested changes are more descriptive than what is normally included in permits. The changes will be included to correct items currently listed,but the full descriptions have been noted in the permit file.

Locked Storm Water Outfall Gates-only specific trained personnel are allowed to open the outfall gates after following the draining procedure which involves evaluating the storm water and completing a storm water drain clearance form. Locked Secondary Containment Areas-the three secondary containment areas that can be drained to the storm water outfall drainage area are locked closed. Only specific trained personnel are allowed to open the secondary containment areas after following the draining procedure which involves evaluating the storm water and completing a storm water drain clearance form. Spill Response Kits-several spill kits are located throughout the facility. Limit Exposure-chemicals are not stored in the storm water outfall drainage area unless there is secondary containment. Also there is a truck station in the storm water drainage area with secondary containment that drains to a sump that flows to waste water treatment system in order to capture any potential drips during the connecting/disconnecting of the trailers. Methanol Truck Unloading Station Design -the unloading station has secondary containment that drains into a sump. The sump is only drained after trained personnel follow the draining procedure which involves evaluating the water and completing a storm water drain clearance form. Sediment and Erosion Control - currently there are no operations that routinely occur that warrant erosion and sedimentation controls. A determination of the need for erosion and sedimentation control measures will be made when any activity at the facility disturbs the existing ground surface. 8/24/22,5:25 PM North Carolina Secretary of State Search Results • File an Annual Report/Amend an Annual Report • Upload a PDF Filing • Order a Document Online - Add Entity to My Email Notification List • View Filings • Print a Pre-Populated Annual Report form • Print an Amended a Annual Report form Business Corporation Legal Name Hexion Inc.

Locked Secondary Containment Areas-the three secondary containment areas that can be drained to the storm water outfall drainage area are locked closed. Only specific trained personnel are allowed to open the secondary containment areas after following the draining procedure which involves evaluating the storm water and completing a storm water drain clearance form. Spill Response Kits-several spill kits are located throughout the facility. Limit Exposure-chemicals are not stored in the storm water outfall drainage area unless there is secondary containment. Also there is a truck station in the storm water drainage area with secondary containment that drains to a sump that flows to waste water treatment system in order to capture any potential drips during the connecting/disconnecting of the trailers. Methanol Truck Unloading Station Design-the unloading station has secondary containment that drains into a sump. The sump is only drained after trained personnel follow the draining procedure which involves evaluating the water and completing a storm water drain clearance form. Sediment and Erosion Control-currently there are no operations that routinely occur that warrant erosion and sedimentation controls. A determination of the need for erosion and sedimentation control measures will be made when any activity at the facility disturbs the existing ground surface.
