MAY 0 3 2018 Attn: Randall C. Ramsey, President 530 Sensation Weigh DENR-LAND QUALITY STORMWATER PERMITTING Beaufort, NC 28516-7672 Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection & Resulting Notice of Deficiency NPDES General Stormwater Permit NCG190000 Certificate of Coverage NCG190052 Jarrett Bay Boatworks-Beaufort Carteret County Dear Mr. Ramsey: Acting Director On April 19, 2018, staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (DEMLR), conducted a site inspection for the tract/project known as Jarrett Bay Boatworks located in Carteret County, North Carolina. The site drains to the Core Creek (or Adams Creek Canal), which is currently classified as Class SA HQW Waters in the White Oak River Basin. The following observations were noted during the DEMLR inspection (please see the attached addendum for additional information about your permit): 1. The annual summary data monitoring report from 2016 and 2017 stated that the expense of monthly monitoring does not improve water quality. Exceedances from outfalls in Tier One require that the operator follow protocol that documents response to the exceedance. Upon the second consecutive exceedance, the operator shall immediately institute Tier Two protocols. Exceedances of benchmarks on four occasions during the permit term requires Tier three actions. Outfalls one and two currently qualify for Tier Three for Copper and Zinc. Relief from monitoring requirements can only be granted from this office. 2. A stormwater pollution prevention plan has not been implemented and is a violation of Permit Condition Part II Section A. There is no recorded documentation of responses for these exceedances. Wilmington Regional Office 127 Cardinal Drive Ext, Wilmington, NC 28405. Phone: 910-796-7215 Jarrett Bay NCG 190052 April 23, 2018 Page 2 of 2 Required Response 1. You are directed to respond to this letter in writing within 30 calendar days of receipt of this Notice. Your response should be sent to this office at the letterhead address and include a schedule for compliance with the permit. 2. Evaluate all discharge points. During the inspection, an additional discharge point at the boat lift is necessary. 3. Implement Tier Two protocols for Copper and Zinc at outfalls one and two. Report sampling results to this office. 4. The recycled wastewater from the power washing station should be evaluated in that the pond should be lined to prevent groundwater contamination. The gravel surrounding the pad should be replaced on a schedule as to prevent pollutant concentration. This permit does not authorize wastewater discharges. 5. Any chemical containers should be kept in a secure location. Remove all chemical waste containers from the yard. 6. Used oil receptacles should be on spill prevention racks. 7. Provide documentation to this office of the best management practices for bottom paint removal and painting. Thank you for your attention to this matter. This office requires that the violations as described above be properly resolved. Unresolved violations may lead to the issuance of a Notice of Violation and/or assessments of civil penalties. Thank you for your assistance and cooperation during this inspection. Please be advised that violations of the NPDES Stormwater General Permit may be subject to a civil penalty assessment of up to $25,000.00 per day for each violation.

The annual summary of data submitted revealed that copper has exceeded benchmark values at outfall one and two in the last four sampling events. Zinc has exceeded the benchmark value for outfall one the last three samples, outfall two is the last four events. The summary includes a sample event on 11/30/2016 that far exceeded the benchmark values in which there is no written documentation of possible sources. The site is generally well kept. There were some housekeeping items that needed to be addressed. A better used oil station should be established as oil residue was on the ground around the containers. Used chemical containers should be removed from the site. Label all containers used for trash to be labeled as such. Any containers with chemicals in them should be stored in a secure location. The power washing station should be evaluated to prevent infiltration to the ground. The area around the washing station appeared to have a bluish tint. The gravel around this area should be scheduled to be replaced as needed. The wastewater should be limited to the concrete area. The wastewater pond needs to be lined to prevent infiltration. You may need to consult with the Division of Water Resouces regarding closed loop wastewater permitting.
