Form 2—Forms Based on Facility or Activity Type (not included in this package): 2A. New and Existing Publicly Owned Treatment Works 2B. Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations and Concentrated Aquatic Animal Production Facilities 2C. Existing Manufacturing, Commercial, Mining, and Silvicultural Operations 2D. New Manufacturing, Commercial, Mining, and Silvicultural Operations That Have Not Yet Commenced Discharge of Process Wastewater 2E. Manufacturing, Commercial, Mining, and Silvicultural Facilities Which Discharge Only Nonprocess Wastewater 2F. Stormwater Discharges Associated with Industrial Activity 2S. New and Existing Treatment Works Treating Domestic Sewage Who Must Apply for an NPDES Permit? CONTENTS OF FORM 1 PACKAGE Form 1—General Instructions Form 1—Line-by-Line Instructions Form 1—Activities That Do Not Require Permits Form 1—Glossary Form 1—Application FORM 1—GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS With the exceptions described in "Form 1—Activities That Do Not Require Permits," the federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) prohibits any person from discharging pollutants into waters of the United States without first having been issued a permit under the NPDES program. Who Must Complete Form 1? All applicants, other than publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) and treatment works treating domestic sewage (TWTDS), must submit Form 1. If you operate one of the following facilities, you must submit Form 1: concentrated animal feeding operations and aquatic animal production facilities; manufacturing, commercial, mining, and silvicultural operations; or other industrial facilities. At the state level, either the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or an approved state agency administers the NPDES permit program. If you are located in a jurisdiction in which an EPA regional office administers the NPDES permit program, you should use Form 1 and all other applicable forms described in these instructions. If you are located in a jurisdiction where a state administers the NPDES permit program, contact the state to determine the forms you should complete. States often develop their own application forms rather than use the federal forms. See http://www.epa.gov/npdes/npdes-state- program-information for a list of states that have approved NPDES permit programs and those that do not. Exhibit 1-1 (see end of this section) provides contact information for each of EPA's 10 regional offices. Since the exhibit's content is subject to change, consult EPA's website for the latest information: hftp://www.epa.goy/aboutepa#regional. Upon your request, and based on information supplied by you, EPA or the authorized NPDES state will determine whether you are required to obtain a permit for a particular facility or activity. Be sure to contact EPA or your state if you have a question. Form 1 collects general information only. You must also complete a more detailed application based on your proposed discharge activity, as follows: • If your facility is a concentrated animal feeding operation or a concentrated aquatic animal production facility, you must also complete Form 2B. • If your facility is an existing manufacturing, commercial, mining, or silvicultural facility that currently discharges process wastewater, you must also complete Form 2C. • If your facility is a new manufacturing, commercial, mining, or silvicultural facility that has yet to commence discharge of process wastewater, you must also complete Form 2D. • If your facility is a new or existing facility (including manufacturing, commercial, mining, and silvicultural facilities) that discharges only nonprocess wastewater, you must also complete Form 2E. • If your facility is a new or existing facility whose discharge is composed entirely of stormwater associated with industrial activity —excluding discharges from construction activity under 122.26(b)(14)(x) or (b)(15)—you must also complete Form 2F. If the discharge is composed of stormwater and non-stormwater, you must complete Form 2F and you must also complete Forms 2C, 2D, and/or 2E, as appropriate. See Form 2F's instructions for further details. DocuSign Envelope ID: 87434BC1-EA60-4775-97CA-2587F1E5FD7D FORM 1—GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED Where to File Your Completed Form • If you are in a jurisdiction with an approved state NPDES permit program, file according to the instructions on the state forms. • If you are in a jurisdiction where EPA is the NPDES permitting authority (i.e., the state is not an NPDES- authorized state), mail the completed application forms to the EPA regional office that covers the state in which your facility is located (see Exhibit 1-1). When to File Your Completed Form Because of statutory and regulatory requirements, the deadlines for filing applications vary according to your facility or activity type and the type of permit you need. The various permit application deadlines are listed in Exhibit 1-2 at the end of this section. Fees EPA does not require applicants to pay a fee for applying for NPDES permits. However, states that administer the NPDES permit program may charge fees. Consult with state officials for further information. Public Availability of Submitted Information EPA will make information from NPDES permit application forms available to the public for inspection and copying upon request. You may not claim any information on Form 1 (or related attachments) as confidential. You may make a claim of confidentiality for any information that you submit to EPA that goes beyond the information required by Form 1. If you do not assert a claim of confidentiality at the time you submit your information to the NPDES permitting authority, EPA may make the information available to the public without further notice to you. EPA will handle claims of confidentiality in accordance with the Agency's business confidentiality regulations at Part 2 of Title 4 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Completion of Forms Print or type in the specified areas only. If you do not have enough space on the form to answer a question, you may continue on additional sheets, as necessary, using a format consistent with the form. The NPDES permitting authority could consider your application incomplete if you do not provide an answer (or indicate "NA" for "not applicable") for all questions on Form 1 and the applicable Form 2. Provide your EPA Identification Number from the Facility Registry Service, NPDES permit number, and facility name at the top of each page of Form 1 and any attachments. If your facility is new (i.e., not yet constructed), write or type "New Facility" in the space provided for the EPA Identification Number and NPDES number. If you do not know your EPA Identification Number, contact your NPDES permitting authority. See Exhibit 1-1 for contact information. Do not leave any response areas blank unless the form directs you to skip them. If the form directs you to respond to an item that does not apply to your facility or activity, enter "NA" for "not applicable" to show that you considered the item and determined a response was not necessary for your facility. The NPDES permitting authority will consider your application complete when it and any supplementary material are received and completed according to the authority's satisfaction. The NPDES permitting authority will judge the completeness of any application independently of the status of any other permit application or permit for the same facility or activity. 1-2 DocuSign Envelope ID: 87434BC1-EA60-4775-97CA-2587F1E5FD7D FORM 1—GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED Exhibit 1-1.

Section 7. Map Unless the facility is a concentrated animal feeding operation, provide a topographic map(s) of the area extending at least one mile beyond the property boundaries of the facility that clearly shows the following: • The legal boundaries of the facility. • The location and serial number of each of your existing and proposed intake and discharge structures. • All hazardous waste management, storage, and disposal facilities. • Each well where you inject fluids underground. • All wells, springs, surface water bodies, and drinking water wells that are in the public record or otherwise known to you and that are located in the map area. If the facility has associated water intakes, discharge structures, hazardous waste disposal sites, or injection wells and these items are located more than one mile from the facility, include them on the map if possible. If you cannot, attach additional sheets describing the location of the structures, disposal site(s), or well(s) and identify the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) or other map corresponding to the location(s). On each map, include the map scale, a meridian arrow showing north, and latitude and longitude to the nearest second. Latitude and longitude coordinates may be obtained in a variety of ways, including use of hand held devices (e.g., a GPS enabled smartphone), internet mapping tools (e.g., https://mynasadata.larc.nasa.gov/latitudelongitu-' - geographic information systems (e.g., ArcView), or paper maps from trusted sources (e.g., USGS). On all maps of rivers, show the direction of the current. In tidal waters, show the directions of ebb and flow tides. You may develop your map by going to USGS's National Map website at http:l/nationalmao.aovl. (For a map from this site, use the traditional 7.5-minute quadrangle format. If none is available, use a USGS 15-minute series map.) You may also use a plat or other appropriate map. Briefly describe land uses in the map area 1-5 (e.g., residential, commercial). An example of an acceptable location map is shown as Exhibit 1-3 at the end of these instructions. Note: Exhibit 1-3 is provided for illustration only; it does not show an actual facility. If the facility is a concentrated animal feeding operation, you are not required to provide the topographic map required by this section of Form 1. Instead, you are required to provide a topographic map as specified in Section 4 of Form 2B. Item 7.1. Note that you have completed your topographic map and attached it to the application. Section 8. Nature of Business Briefly describe the nature of your business (e.g., products produced or services provided). See Examples 1 and 2. Example 1 Facilities Subject to 40 CFR 426, Subparts F and G Industry A is an auto tempered and auto laminated glass manufacturing facility subject to effluent limitation guidelines (ELGs) for the "Automotive Glass Tempering" and "Automotive Glass Laminating" subcategories of the "Glass Manufacturing" point source category at 40 CFR 426, subparts F and G. At the facility, glass is cut and then passed through a series of processes that grind and polish the edges, bend the glass, and then temper the glass to produce side and back windows for automobiles. Tempering involves heating the glass near the melting point, then rapidly cooling it to increase its mechanical and thermal endurance. The facility also produces automobile windshields and undertakes processes that laminate a plastic sheet between two layers of glass and that prepare the glass for lamination (e.g., cutting, bending, and washing). Example 2 Facility Not Subject to ELGs Industry B undertakes batch -type resin manufacturing operations. It has aboveground storage tanks for raw materials and finished goods, resin loading operations, and warehouses for 55-gallon drums of finished product. Industry B manufactures alkyd, saturated and unsaturated polyester resins in batches using reactor vessels and mix tanks. Most of the feedstock liquids are pumped from storage tanks to the kettles and mixers via a closed piping system. Additional feedstocks are added manually as solids from bags and sacks via manways, which are located on top of the kettles. The resin is then chemically reacted in the kettles. After the reaction step finishes, the resin is transferred from the kettles to the mix tanks, where solvents are added to thin it. The primary byproduct of the reaction is water vapor containing condensed soluble organics. The byproduct flows to an isolation tank where the vapors are directed to an onsite thermal oxidizer. The finished resin is then pumped through one of three types of filtration systems into finished goods storage tanks, 55-gallon drums, 350-gallon intermediate bulk container totes, or directly into tanker trucks. A typical batch takes about 30 hours to complete. DocuSign Envelope ID: 87434BC1-EA60-4775-97CA-2587F1E5FD7D FORM 1—LINE-BY-LINE INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED Section 9. Cooling Water Intake Structures Item 9.1. Indicate whether the facility uses cooling water. If yes, continue to Item 9.2. If no, skip to Item 10.1. Item 9.2. Identify the source of the cooling water. For example, indicate whether the cooling water is from a surface water, groundwater well, public water system, or treated effluent that would otherwise be discharged to a water of the U.S. If the facility uses a cooling water intake structure as described in 40 CFR 125, Subparts I and J, the facility may have additional application requirements under 40 CFR 122.21(r). Note that the information required by 40 CFR 122.21(r) is not requested as part of Form 1. Contact your NPDES permitting authority to determine the specifics of what you should provide and when. Section 10. Variance Requests An applicant (other than a POTW) may request a variance from otherwise applicable effluent limitations under certain conditions described at 40 CFR 122.21(m). Item 10.1. If known at the time of application, check all of the authorized variances that you plan to request or renew. Note that you are not being asked to submit any other information at this time. Contact your NPDES permitting authority to determine the specifics of what you should provide and when. The ability to request a variance is not limited to the time of application, and an applicant may request a variance consistent with statutory and regulatory requirements. Section 11. Checklist and Certification Item 11.1. Review the checklist provided. In Column 1, mark the sections of Form 1 that you have completed and are submitting with your application. In Column 2, indicate for each section whether you are submitting attachments. Item 11.2. The Clean Water Act provides for severe penalties for submitting false information on this application form. CWA Section 309(c)(2) provides that, "Any person who knowingly makes any false statement, representation, or certification in any application, ...shall upon conviction, be punished by a fine of no more than $10,000 or by imprisonment for not more than six months, or both." FEDERAL REGULATIONS AT 40 CFR 122.22 REQUIRE THIS APPLICATION TO BE SIGNED AS FOLLOWS: A. For a corporation, by a responsible corporate officer. For the purpose of this section, a responsible corporate officer means: (1) a president, secretary, treasurer, or vice-president of the corporation in charge of a principal business function, or any other person who performs similar policy- or decision - making functions for the corporation, or (2) the manager of one or more manufacturing, production, or operating facilities, provided the manager is authorized to make management decisions which govern the operation of the regulated facility including having the explicit or implicit duty of making major capital investment recommendations, and initiating and directing other comprehensive measures to assure long term environmental compliance with environmental laws and regulations; the manager can ensure that the necessary systems are established or actions taken to gather complete and accurate information for permit application requirements; and where authority to sign documents has been assigned or delegated to the manager in accordance with corporate procedures.

(However, under CWA Sections 510 and 312, some discharges exempted from the federal NPDES requirements may still be regulated by a state permitting authority.) Any discharge of sewage from vessels and any effluent from properly functioning marine engines, laundry, shower, and galley sink wastes, or any other discharge incidental to the normal operation of a vessel, including vessels of the Armed Forces within the meaning of section 312 of the CWA and recreational vessels within the meaning of section 502(25) of the CWA. None of these exclusions apply to rubbish, trash, garbage, or other such materials discharged overboard; nor to other discharges when the vessel is operating in a capacity other than as a means of transportation such as when used as an energy or mining facility, a storage facility or a seafood processing facility, or when secured to a storage facility or a seafood processing facility, or when secured to the bed of the ocean, contiguous zone or waters of the United States for the purpose of mineral or oil exploration or development. • Discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States that are regulated under CWA Section 404 The introduction of sewage, industrial wastes, or other pollutants into publicly owned treatment works by indirect dischargers.

General Items Complete the applicable tables for each outfall at your facility. Be sure to note the EPA Identification Number, NPDES permit number, facility name, and applicable outfall number at the top of each page of any associated attachments. You may report some or all of the required data by attaching separate sheets of paper instead of completing Section 4 for each of your outfalls so long as the sheets contain all of the required information and are similar in format to Section 4. Reporting of Effluent Data Report pollutant levels for all pollutants in Section 4 as concentration and total mass, with the exception of flow, pH, and temperature. Total mass is the total weight of pollutants discharged over a day. Flow, temperature, pH, and fecal coliform organisms must be reported as mgd, degrees Celsius (°C), standard units, and most probable number per 100 milliliters (MPN1100 mL), respectively. Use the following abbreviations in the columns requiring "units" in Section 4. Concentration Mass ppm = parts per million Ibs = pounds mglL = milligrams per liter ton = tons (English tons) ppb = parts per billion mg = milligrams pg1L = micrograms per liter g = grams MPN = most probable number per kg = kilograms 100 milliliters T = tonnes (metric tons) Existing Dischargers You must provide at least one analysis for each parameter or pollutant, including the following: BOD, TSS, oil and grease, ammonia (as N), fecal coliform including E. coli and enterococci (if believed present or if sanitary waste is or will be discharged), total residual chlorine (if chlorine is or will be used), COD, and TOC (if non -contact cooling water is or will be discharged), discharge flow, pH, and temperature (winter and summer). You may report quantitative data that you have collected over the past 365 days if they are representative of your current operations. The data reported must include maximum daily discharge, average daily discharge, and number of analyses. Most existing facilities routinely monitor the pollutants and parameters listed in Section 4 as part of their existing NPDES permit requirements. You must collect and analyze samples in accordance with 40 CFR 136. Grab samples must be used for analyses of pH, temperature, total residual chlorine, oil and grease, fecal coliform (including E. coli), and enterococci (previously known as fecal streptococcus) and volatile organic compounds. Twenty -four-hour composite samples must be used for all other pollutants, using at least four grab samples unless otherwise specified at 40 CFR 136. For a composite sample, only one analysis of the composite of aliquots is required. If you have sampling and analysis questions, direct them to your NPDES permitting authority. The authority may request that you do additional testing, if appropriate, on a case -by -case basis under CWA Section 308. New Dischargers You must provide maximum daily and average daily discharge estimates for the parameters or pollutants listed in Section 4, unless specifically indicated on the form. Note that if you have the results of actual analyses for the listed parameters or pollutants, you are required to report those results rather than submit estimates. Report or estimate all parameter or pollutant levels as concentration and as total mass, except for flow, pH, and temperature. Indicate the source of all estimates in the appropriate column in the Section 4 tables using the engineering study codes below. Note that you are required to conduct follow-up testing and reporting no later than two years once your facility commences discharge. Engineering Report Codes Actual data from pilot plants....................................1 Estimates from other engineering reports ..............2 Data from other similar plants.................................3 Best professional estimates....................................4 Others ..........................................specify on the form Base your determination of whether a pollutant will be present in your discharge on your knowledge of the proposed facility's use of maintenance chemicals and any analyses of your effluent or of any similar effluent. You may also provide the estimates based on available in-house or contractor engineering reports or any other studies performed on the proposed facility. Pollutants Solely in Intake Water If you expect a pollutant to be present solely because of its presence in your intake water, you must still provide an estimate or analytical result in Section 4; however, you should indicate in Section 7 in Item 7.1 that you believe the pollutant or parameter to be present only due to its presence in your source water. See the instructions under Item 7.1. Testing Waivers The NPDES permitting authority may waive the testing and reporting requirements for flow or any of the pollutants listed in Section 4 if you submit a written request for such a waiver before or with your application. Contact your NPDES permitting authority for more information. Sampling The collection of samples for the reported analyses should be supervised by a person experienced in performing sampling of industrial wastewater. You may contact your NPDES permitting authority for detailed guidance on sampling techniques and for answers to specific questions. See Exhibit 1-1 of Form 1 for contact information. Any specific requirements in the applicable analytical methods —for example, sample containers, sample preservation, holding times, and the collection of duplicate samples —must be followed. 2E-3 DocuSign Envelope ID: 87434BC1-EA60-4775-97CA-2587F1E5FD7D General Instructions for Reporting, Sampling, and Analysis Continued The time when you sample should be representative of your normal operation, to the extent feasible, with all processes that contribute wastewater in normal operation, and with your treatment system operating properly with no system upsets. Collect samples from the center of the flow channel, where turbulence is at a maximum, at a site specified in your present NPDES permit, or at any site adequate for the collection of a representative sample. Analysis Except as specified below, all required quantitative data shall be collected in accordance with sufficiently sensitive analytical methods approved under 40 CFR 136 or required under 40 CFR chapter I, subchapter N or 0. A method is "sufficiently sensitive" when: • The method minimum level (ML) is at or below the level of the applicable water quality criterion for the measured pollutant or pollutant parameter. • The method ML is above the water quality criterion, but the amount of the pollutant or pollutant parameter in the facility's discharge is high enough that the method detects and quantifies the level of the pollutant or pollutant parameter in the discharge. • The method has the lowest ML of the analytical methods approved under 40 CFR 136 or required under 40 CFR chapter I, subchapter N or 0 for the measured pollutant or pollutant parameter. Consistent with 40 CFR 136, you may provide matrix- or sample - specific MLs rather than the published levels. Further, where you can demonstrate that, despite a good faith effort to use a method that would otherwise meet the definition of "sufficiently sensitive," the analytical results are not consistent with the quality assurance (QA)Jquality control (QC) specifications for that method, then the NPDES permitting authority may determine that the method is not performing adequately and the NPDES permitting authority should select a different method from the remaining EPA -approved methods that is sufficiently sensitive consistent with 40 CFR 122.21(e)(3)(i). Where no other EPA -approved methods exist, you must select a method consistent with 40 CFR 122.21(e)(3)(ii). When there is no analytical method that has been approved under 40 CFR 136; required under 40 CFR chapter I, subchapter N or 0, and is not otherwise required by the NPDES permitting authority, you may use any suitable method but shall provide a description of the method. When selecting a suitable method, other factors such as a method's precision, accuracy, or resolution, may be considered when assessing the performance of the method. 2E-4 DocuSign Envelope ID: 87434BC1-EA60-4775-97CA-2587F1 E5FD7D EPA Identification Number NPDES Permit Number Facility Name Form Approved 03/05/19 NCD986204576 NCO029246 I Norfolk Southern -Spencer Yard OMB No.2040-0004 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency FORM Application for NPDES Permit to Discharge Wastewater 2E .yEPA NPDES MANUFACTURING, COMMERCIAL, MINING, AND SILVICULTURAL FACILITIES WHICH I I DISCHARGE ONLY NONPROCESS WASTEWATER Provide information on each of the facilitv's outfalls in the table below g l I Recetvmg Water Name Latitude I Longitude J 011 South Potts Creek/ High 35` 43' 52" N 80' 20' 37" W Rock Lake w O as 2.1 Are you a new or existing discharger?

DocuSign Envelope ID: 87434BC1-EA60-4775-97CA-2587F1E5FD7D FORM 2F—INSTRUCTIONS General Instructions Who Must Complete Form 2F? You must complete Form 2F if you answered "Yes" to Item 1.2.5 on Form 1—that is, you are a new or existing facility and your discharge is composed entirely of stormwater associated with industrial activity (excluding discharges from construction activity under 40 CFR 122.26(b)(14)(x) or (b)(15)) or composed of stormwater and non-stormwater and are seeking coverage under an individual National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. Note that applicants in the latter category must also complete Forms 2C, 2D, or 2E, as applicable. See inset below Notes • Form 2F must be completed by any operator of a facility that discharges stormwater associated with industrial activity or the operator of any stormwater discharger that EPA is evaluating for designation as a significant contributor of pollutants to waters of the United States, or as contributing to a violation of a water quality standard. • For discharges composed entirely of stormwater, the operator must complete Form 2F in conjunction with Form 1. • For discharges of stormwater combined with process wastewater, the operator must complete and submit Form 2F, Form 1, and Form 2C. Process wastewater is water that comes into direct contact with or results from the production or use of any raw material, intermediate product, finished product, byproduct, waste product, or wastewater. • For discharges of stormwater combined with nonprocess wastewater, the operator must complete Form 2F, Form 1, and Form 2E. Nonprocess wastewater includes noncontact cooling water and sanitary wastes that are not regulated by effluent guidelines, except discharges by educational, medical, or commercial chemical laboratories. • For new discharges of stormwater associated with industrial activity that will be combined with other new non-stormwater discharges, the operator must submit Form 2F, Form 1, and Form 2D. Where to File Your Completed Form Submit your completed application package (Forms 1 and 2F plus any other applicable forms) to your NPDES permitting authority. Consult Exhibit 1-1 of Form 1's "General Instructions" to identify your NPDES permitting authority. Public Availability of Submitted Information The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will make information from NPDES permit application forms available to the public for inspection and copying upon request. You may not claim any information on Form 2F (or related attachments) as confidential You may make a claim of confidentiality for any information that you submit to EPA that goes beyond the information required by Form 2F. Note that NPDES permitting authorities will deny claims for treating any effluent data (estimated or actual) as confidential. If you do not assert a claim of confidentiality at the time you submit your information to the NPDES permitting authority, EPA may make the information available to the public without further notice to you. EPA will handle claims of confidentiality in accordance with the Agency's business confidentiality regulations in Part 2 of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Completion of Forms Print or type in the specified areas only. If you do not have enough space on the form to answer a question, you may continue on additional sheets, as necessary, using a format consistent with the form. Provide your EPA Identification Number from the Facility Registry Service, NPDES permit number, and facility name at the top of each page of Form 2F and any attachments. If your facility is new (i.e., not yet constructed), write or type "New Facility" in the space provided for the EPA Identification Number an NPDES permit number. If you do not know your EPA Identification Number, contact your NPDES permitting authority. See Exhibit 1-1 of Form 1's "General Instructions" for contact information. Additionally, for Tables A through D, provide the applicable outfall number at the top of each page. Do not leave any response areas blank unless the form directs you to skip them. If the form directs you to respond to an item that does not apply to your facility or activity, enter "NA" for "not applicable" to show that you considered the item and determined a response was not necessary for your facility. The NPDES permitting authority will consider your application complete when it and any supplementary material are received and completed according to the authority's satisfaction. The NPDES permitting authority will judge the completeness of any application independently of the status of any other permit application or permit for the same facility or activity. Definitions The legal definitions of all key terms used in these instructions and Form 2F are in the "Glossary" at the end of the "General Instructions" in Form 1. 2F-1 DocuSign Envelope ID: 87434BC1-EA60-4775-97CA-2587F1E5FD7D FORM 21F—INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED Line -by -Line Instructions Section 1.Outfall Location Item 1.1. Identify each of the facility's outfalls by number. For each outfall, specify the latitude and longitude to the nearest 15 seconds and name of the receiving water. Latitude and longitude coordinates may be obtained in a variety of ways, including use of hand held devices (e.g., a GPS enabled smartphone), internet mapping tools (e.g., https://mynasadata.larc.nasa.gov/latitudelongitude-finder,), geographic information systems (e.g., ArcView), or paper maps from trusted sources (e.g., U.S. Geological Survey or USGS). The location of each outfall (i.e., where the coordinates are collected) shall be the location where collected and concentrated stormwater flows are discharged from the facility such that the first receiving water body into which the discharge flows, either directly or through a separate storm sewer system, is a water of the United States. If you need further guidance in responding to Item 1.1, refer to ica.aov/aeosoatial/latitudelonoitud- ard. Note: In EPA's stormwater permits, "outfalls" are referred to as "discharge points." Note that space has been provided on the form for six outfalls. If you have more than this number, type your information on a separate sheet of paper in a format similar to that of the form. Make sure you note the EPA Identification Number, NPDES permit number, and facility name at the top of the page and indicate the specific item of the form to which you are responding —Item 1.1 in this case. In other sections of the form, you will be asked to provide information by outfall number (Sections 2, 4, 5, and 7). Section 2. Improvements Item 2.1. Indicate if you are required by any federal, state, or local authority to meet an implementation schedule for constructing, upgrading, or operating wastewater treatment equipment or practices or any other environmental programs that could affect the discharges described in this application.

If yes, continue to Item 2.2. If no, skip to Section 3. Item 2.2. Briefly identify and describe each applicable project (e.g., consent decree, enforcement order, or permit condition). For each condition, specify the affected outfall number(s), the source(s) of the discharge, the required final compliance date, and the projected final compliance date. Item 2.3.OPTIONAL ITEM. Indicate if you have attached any sheets describing any additional water pollution control programs (or other environmental projects that could affect your discharges) that you may now have underway or planned. If you attach additional sheets, indicate in the attachment whether each program is actually underway or is planned, and indicate your actual or planned schedule for construction. Be sure to note your EPA Identification Number, NPDES permit number, and facility name at the top of any attached pages. Section 3. Site Drainage Map Item 3.1 Attach a site drainage map showing the topography of the facility. If a topographic map is unavailable, you may provide an outline of drainage areas served by the outfall(s) covered in the application. The site map must include the following information: • Each of its drainage and discharge structures. • The drainage area of each stormwater outfall. Paved areas and buildings within the drainage area of each stormwater outfall; each past or present area used for outdoor storage or disposal of significant materials; each existing structural control measure to reduce pollutants in stormwater runoff; materials loading and access areas; and areas where pesticides, herbicides, soil conditioners, and fertilizers are applied. • Each hazardous waste treatment, storage, or disposal facility (including each area not required to have a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act permit and is used for accumulating hazardous waste for less than 90 days under 40 CFR 262.34). • Each well where fluids from the facility are injected underground. • Springs and other surface water bodies that receive stormwater discharges from the facility. When you have completed and attached your site map to Form 2F, answer "Yes" to Item 3.1. Section 4. Pollutant Sources Item 4.1. List all outfalls discharging stormwater. Provide an estimate of the impervious surface area drained by the outfall. Specify units of measure. (Impervious surfaces are surfaces where stormwater runs off at rates significantly higher than background rates—e.g., predevelopment levels. They include paved areas, building roofs, parking lots, and roadways.) Provide an estimate of the total surface area (impervious and pervious areas) drained by each outfall (within a mile radius of the facility). You may use the site map developed under Item 3.1 to estimate the total area drained by each outfall. For areas under 5 acres, consult your NPDES permitting authority to determine whether the area should be reported to the nearest tenth of an acre or nearest quarter of an acre. Item 4.2. Provide a narrative description of the following • Significant materials that in three years prior to the submittal of this application have been treated, stored, or disposed of in a manner to allow exposure to stormwater. • Method of treatment, storage, or disposal of such materials. • Materials management practices employed, in the three years prior to the submittal of this application, to minimize contact by these materials with stormwater runoff. • Materials loading and access areas. • The location, manner, and frequency in which pesticides, herbicides, soil conditioners, and fertilizers are applied.

Structural controls include structures that enclose materials handling or storage areas; structures that cover materials; and berms, dikes, or diversion ditches around manufacturing, production, storage, or treatment units and retention ponds. Spill prevention plans, employee training, visual inspections, preventive maintenance, and housekeeping measures are examples of non-structural controls. Describe the treatment, including the schedule and type of maintenance activities performed, and the ultimate disposal of any solid or fluid wastes other than by discharge. For each structural control identified, indicate the type of treatment the stormwater receives using the codes in Exhibit 2F-1, at the end of the instructions. For each non-structural control identified, indicate "Not Applicable" in the "Codes from Exhibit 2F-1" column. Section 5. Non-Stormwater Discharges Item 5.1. Provide a certification that all outfalls that should contain stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity have been tested or evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. Tests for such non-stormwater discharges can include smoke tests, fluorometric dye tests, analysis of accurate schematics, and others. Item 5.2. Include a description of the method used, the date of any testing, and the onsite drainage points that were directly observed during a test used to support the certification in Item 5.1. All non- stormwater discharges must be identified in a Form 2C, 2D, or 2E. See "Who Must Complete Form 2FT' above for more information. Section 6. Significant Leaks or Spills Item 6.1. Describe any significant leaks or spills of toxic or hazardous pollutants at the facility within the three years prior to the submittal of this application. Include the approximate date and location of the spill or leak and the type and amount of material released. Section 7. Discharge Information Item 7.1. Answer whether you are a new source or new discharge Contact your NPDES permitting authority to determine if you are a new source or new discharge. Tables A, B, C, and D Items 7.2 to 7.17. These items require you to collect and report data in Tables A through D, at the end of Form 2F, for the parameters and pollutants listed in Exhibits 2F-2, 2F-3, and 2F-4 (at the end of the instructions). The instructions for completing Tables A through D are table -specific, as are the criteria for determining who should complete them. Important note: Read the "General Instructions for Reporting, Sampling, and Analysis" below before completing Items 7.2 to 7.17. Item 7.2 and Table A. All applicants must complete Table A. If the discharge is an existing discharge and your discharge is composed exclusively of stormwater (i.e., no process or nonprocess wastewater) then you only need to provide monitoring data for oil and grease, total phosphorus, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, and total nitrogen. Indicate "NA" for "not applicable" in the columns for all other parameters. Answer "Yes" to Item 7.2 once you have completed this task. Item 7.3 and Table B. Indicate whether the facility is subject to an effluent limitations guideline (ELG) (see 40 CFR Subchapter N to determine which pollutants are limited in ELGs) or if the facility is subject to effluent limitations in an NPDES permit for its process wastewater or stormwater (if the facility is operating under an existing NPDES permit). If yes, continue to Item 7.4. If no, skip to Item 7.5. Note: Stormwater discharges from certain industrial sources or activities have specific ELGs for which they must comply. These stormwater-specific ELGs include: Regulated Discharge 40 CFR Section Discharges resulting from spraydown or intentional Part 429, Subpart I wetting of logs at wet deck storage areas Runoff from phosphate fertilizer manufacturing facilities Part 418, Subpart A that comes into contact with any raw materials, finished product, byproducts or waste products (SIC 2874) Runoff from asphalt emulsion facilities Part 443, Subpart A Runoff from material storage piles at cement Part 411, Subpart C manufacturing facilities Mine dewatering discharges at crushed stone, Part 436, Subparts B, construction sand and gravel, or industrial sand mining C, and D facilities Runoff from hazardous waste and non -hazardous waste Part 445, Subparts A landfills and B Runoff from coal storage piles at steam electric Part 423 generating facilities Runoff containing urea from airfield pavement deicing at Part 449 existing and new primary airports with 1,000 or more annual non -propeller aircraft departures Item 7.4. In Table B, list all pollutants that are limited in an ELG to which the facility is subject and all pollutants listed in the facility's NPDES permit for its process wastewater (if the facility is operating under an existing NPDES permit) and provide quantitative data for each pollutant (provide actual data for existing dischargers and estimated data for new sources and new dischargers). If a pollutant in Exhibits 2F-2 or 2F-3 is indirectly limited by an ELG through an indicator (e.g., use of total suspended solids as an indicator to control the discharge of iron and aluminum), you must provide data for the pollutant in Table B. Complete one table for each outfall. Answer "Yes" to Item 7.4 once you have completed this task. 2 F-3 DocuSign Envelope ID: 87434BC1-EA60-4775-97CA-2587F1E5FD7D FORM 2F-4NSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED Item 7.5 and Table C. Table C requires you to address the pollutants in Exhibits 2F-2, 2F-3, and 2F-4 for each outfall. Pollutants in each of these exhibits are addressed differently. Indicate whether you know or have reason to believe any pollutants in Exhibit 2F-2 are present in the discharge. If yes, continue to Item 7.6. If no, skip to Item 7.7. Item 7.6. For each outfall, list all pollutants in Exhibit 2F-2 that you know or have reason to believe are present in the discharge in Table C (except pollutants previously listed in Table B that are limited directly or indirectly by an ELG) and either report quantitative data or briefly describe the reasons the pollutant is expected to be discharged. Answer "Yes" to Item 7.6 once you have completed this task. Item 7.7. This item asks if you qualify as a "small business." If so, you are exempt from the reporting requirements for the organic toxic pollutants listed in Exhibit 2F-3. You can qualify as a small business in two ways: (1) If your facility is a coal mine and if your probable total annual production is less than 100,000 tons per year, you may submit past production data or estimated future production (such as a schedule of estimated total production under 30 CFR 795.14(c)) instead of conducting analyses for the organic toxic pollutants; (2) If your facility is not a coal mine and if your gross total annual sales for the most recent three years average less than $100,000 per year (in second quarter 1980 dollars), you may submit sales data for those years instead of conducting analyses for the organic toxic pollutants. The production or sales data must be for the facility that is the source of the discharge. The data should not be limited to production or sales for the process or processes that contribute to the discharge, unless those are the only processes at your facility. For sales data, in situations involving intra-corporate transfer of goods and services, the transfer price per unit should approximate market prices for those goods and services as closely as possible.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 87434BC1-EA60-4775-97CA-2587F1E5FD7D General Instructions for Reporting, Sampling, and Analysis Important note: Read these instructions before completing Tables A through C and Section 7 of Form 2F. General Items Complete the applicable tables for each outfall at your facility. Be sure to note the EPA Identification Number, NPDES permit number, facility name, and applicable outfall number at the top of each table page and any associated attachments. You may report some or all of the required data by attaching separate sheets of paper instead of completing Tables A through C for each of your outfalls so long as the sheets contain all of the required information and are similar in format to Tables A through C. For example, you may be able to print a report in a compatible format from the data system used in your gas chromatography/ mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis completed under Table B. If you are an existing discharger, you are required to report actual quantitative data. See "Use of Historic Data" below for use of historic data. If you are a new source or discharge, you may supply estimated data along with the source of each estimate. If you have quantitative data available, however, you must provide it. Base estimates on available, in-house or contractor engineering reports, or any other studies performed on the proposed facility. Use the following codes to report your source information in the "Source of Information" column: Data Source Code 1 1 Engineering reports Actual data from pilot plants Estimates from other engineering reports 2 Data from other similar plants 3 Best profe2sional estimates 4 Others 5 and specify on the table No later than 24 months after your facility commences to discharge, you must complete and submit sampling and analysis data for the pollutants and parameters in Tables A through C. However, you need not report results for tests you have already performed and reported under the discharge monitoring requirements of your NPDES permit. Table A requires you to report at least one analysis for each pollutant listed. Tables B and C require you to report analytical data in two ways. For some pollutants addressed in Tables B and C, if you know or have reason to know that the pollutant is present in your discharge, you may be required to list the pollutant and test (sample and analyze) and report the levels of the pollutants in your discharge. For all other pollutants addressed in Tables B and C, you must list the pollutant if you know or have reason to know that the pollutant is present in the discharge, and either report quantitative data for the pollutant or briefly describe the reasons the pollutant is expected to be discharged. (See Items 7.2 through 7.17 of the instructions for completing Tables A through C.). Base your determination that a pollutant is/will be present in your discharge on your knowledge of the facility's raw materials, material management practices, maintenance chemicals, history of spills and releases, intermediate and final products and byproducts, and any previous analyses known to you of your effluent or similar effluent. Sampling The collection of the samples for the reported analyses should be supervised by a person experienced in performing sampling of industrial wastewater or stormwater discharges. You may contact your NPDES permitting authority for detailed guidance on sampling techniques and for answers to specific questions. See Exhibit 1-1 of Form 1 for contact information. Any specific requirements in the analytical methods —for example, sample containers, sample preservation, holding times, and the collection of duplicate samples —must be followed. The time when you sample should be representative of your normal operation, to the extent feasible, with all processes that contribute wastewater in normal operation, and with your treatment system operating properly with no system upsets. Collect samples from the center of the flow channel, where turbulence is at a maximum, at a site specified in your present NPDES permit, or at any site adequate for the collection of a representative sample. Grab samples must be taken in the first 30 minutes of discharge (or as soon thereafter as practicable) for pH, temperature, cyanide, total phenols, residual chlorine, oil and grease, fecal coliform (including E. coh) and enterococci (previously known as fecal streptococcus at 40 CFR 122.26(d)(2)(iii)(A)(3)), and volatile organic compounds. You are not required to analyze a flow -weighted composite for these parameters. For all other pollutants, both a grab sample collected during the first 30 minutes (or as soon thereafter as practicable) of the discharge and a flow -weighted composite sample must be analyzed. However, a minimum of one grab sample may be taken for effluents from holding ponds or other impoundments with a retention period of greater than 24 hours. All samples must be collected from the discharge resulting from a storm event that is greater than 0.1 inches and at least 72 hours from the previously measurable (greater than 0.1 inch rainfall) storm event. Where feasible, the variance in the duration of the event and the total rainfall of the event should not exceed 50 percent from the average or median rainfall event in that area. A grab sample must be taken during the first 30 minutes of the discharge (or as soon thereafter as practicable), and a flow - weighted composite must be taken for the entire event or for the first three hours of the event. Grab and composite samples are defined as follows Grab sample: An individual sample of at least 100 milliliters collected during the first 30 minutes (or as soon thereafter as practicable) of the discharge. This sample is to be analyzed separately from the composite sample. Flow -weighted composite sample: A flow -weighted composite sample may be taken with a continuous sampler that proportions the amount of sample collected with the flow rate or as a combination of a minimum of three sample aliquots taken in each hour of discharge 2F-6 DocuSign Envelope ID: 87434BC1-EA60-4775-97CA-2587F1 E5FD7D General Instructions for Reporting, Sampling, and Analysis Continued for the entire event or for the first three hours of the event, with each aliquot being at least 100 milliliters and collected with a minimum period of 15 minutes between aliquot collections. The composite must be flow proportional; the time interval between either each aliquot or the volume of each aliquot must be proportional to either the stream (effluent) flow at the time of sampling or the total stream (effluent) flow since the collection of the previous aliquot. Aliquots may be collected manually or automatically. Where GC/MS volatile organic analysis is required, aliquots must be combined in the laboratory immediately before analysis. Only one analysis for the composite sample is required. Use of Historical Data Existing data may be used, if available, in lieu of sampling conducted solely for the purposes of this application, provided it is representative of the present discharge and was collected within 3 years of the application due date. If you sample for a listed pollutant on a monthly or more frequent basis, summarize the data collected within one year of the application for the pollutant(s) at issue. Among the factors that would cause the data to be unrepresentative are significant changes in production level; changes in raw materials, processes, or final products; and changes in stormwater treatment. The NPDES permitting authority may request additional information, including current quantitative data, if they determine it to be necessary to assess your discharges. The NPDES permitting authority may allow or establish appropriate site -specific sampling procedures or requirements including sampling locations, the season in which the sampling takes place, the minimum duration between the previous measurable storm event and the storm event sampled, the minimum or maximum level of precipitation required for an appropriate storm event, the form of precipitation sampled (snow melt or rainfall), protocols for collecting samples under 40 CFR 136, and additional time for submitting data on a case -by -case basis. Reporting Report sampling results for all pollutants in Tables A through C as concentration and mass, with the exception of flow, temperature, pH, color, and fecal coliform organisms. Flow, temperature, pH, color, and fecal coliform organisms must be reported as million gallons per day (mgd), degrees Celsius (°C), standard units, color units, and most probable number per 100 milliliters (MPN/100 mL), respectively. Use the following abbreviations in the columns requiring "units" in Tables A through C. Concentration Mass m = parts per million Ibs = pounds m /L = milligrams per liter ton = tons En fish tons b = parts per billion mg = milligrams /L = microg rams per liter g = rams MPN = most probable number per 100 milliliters ko = kilograms T = tonnes metric tons All reporting of values for metals must be in terms of "total recoverable metal" unless: • An applicable, promulgated ELG specifies the limitation for the metal in dissolved, valent, or total form; All approved analytical methods for the metal inherently measure only its dissolved form (e.g., hexavalent chromium); or • The NPDES permitting authority has determined that in establishing case -by -case limitations it is necessary to express the limitations of the metal in dissolved, valent, or total form to carry out the provisions of the CWA. If you measure only one grab sample and one flow -weighted composite sample for a given outfall, complete only the "Maximum Daily Discharge" columns in the tables and enter 1" in the "Number of Storm Events Sampled" column. The NPDES permitting authority may require you to conduct additional analyses to further characterize your discharges. If you measure more than one value for a grab sample or a flow - weighted composite sample for a given outfall and those values are representative of your discharge, you must report them. You must describe your method of testing and analysis. The "Average Daily Discharge" column on Tables A to C is not compulsory but should be filled out if data are available. To complete the "Average Daily Discharge" column, determine the average of all values within the last year and report the concentration and mass. Report the total number of storm events sampled under the "Number of Storm Events Sampled" column. Substantially Identical Outfalls If you have two or more substantially identical outfalls, you may request permission from your NPDES permitting authority to sample and analyze only one outfall and submit the results of the analysis for all substantially identical outfalls. If your request is granted, submit the following information on a separate sheet attached to the application form: the identity of the outfall you did test and an explanation of how it is substantially identical to the outfall(s) that you did not test. Analysis Except as specified below, all required quantitative data shall be collected in accordance with sufficiently sensitive analytical methods approved under 40 CFR 136 or required under 40 CFR chapter I, subchapter N or 0. A method is "sufficiently sensitive" when: • The method minimum level (ML) is at or below the level of the applicable water quality criterion for the measured pollutant or pollutant parameter. • The method ML is above the water quality criterion, but the amount of the pollutant or pollutant parameter in the facility's discharge is high enough that the method detects and quantifies the level of the pollutant or pollutant parameter in the discharge. 2F-7 DocuSign Envelope ID: 87434BC1-EA60-4775-97CA-2587F1 E5FD7D General Instructions for Reporting, Sampling, and Analysis Continued • The method has the lowest ML of the analytical methods approved under 40 CFR 136 or required under 40 CFR chapter I, subchapter N or 0, for the measured pollutant or pollutant parameter. Consistent with 40 CFR 136, you may provide matrix- or sample - specific MLs rather than the published levels. Further, where you can demonstrate that, despite a good faith effort to use a method that would otherwise meet the definition of "sufficiently sensitive," the analytical results are not consistent with the quality assurance (QA)/quality control (QC) specifications for that method, then the NPDES permitting authority may determine that the method is not performing adequately and the NPDES permitting authority should select a different method from the remaining EPA -approved methods that is sufficiently sensitive consistent with 40 CFR 122.21(e)(3)(i). Where no other EPA -approved methods exist, you must select a method consistent with 40 CFR 122.21(e)(3)(ii). When there is no analytical method that has been approved under 40 CFR 136; required under 40 CFR chapter I, subchapter N or 0, and is not otherwise required by the NPDES permitting authority, you may use any suitable method but shall provide a description of the method. When selecting a suitable method, other factors such as a method's precision, accuracy, or resolution, may be considered when assessing the performance of the method. 2F-8 DocuSign Envelope ID: 87434BC1-EA60-4775-97CA-2587F1E5FD7D Exhibit 2F-1.
