Subject: RE Perdue Cofield Facility - NCS000167 Permit Renewal
Hey Cory,
Copy of signed staff report form in the mail today. Per our discussion this am, I agree that we could include certain
items in the permit cover letter:
41) Reference to Perdue's proposed changes in SMPIan; including, modifications to stormwater outfalls & changes in
fTVIPs. These should be implemented within 90 days of the effective date of permit.
2) Notify WARO when proposed BMP changes are implemented.
(3) Require representative storm event be sampled within 60 days of completion of BMPs.
One last vip item: The draft permit has a reference to annual sw report in Part II, Sect A, 7. " Plan amendment". There
are other references later in the draft to reporting requirements (i.e. discharge monitoring forms, annual data
mmary); but, It is not clear that Perdue must submit their "annual sw report" to DWQ. At one of these locations, or
both, we need to state clearly that; "Perdue must perform annual evaluation of SMP & submit report to DWQ; CO & RO
by March 1st for the previous year ? This could be worded differently; but, the point is the RO should review the
industry's annual sw report & then decide are they doing a good job; do we need to recommend changes to sw program,
or do we need to visit site. Let me know if you have questions.

Good Afternoon Cory,
We received Perdue's revised site plan and supporting info on 08/16/10. As you know, this facility has provided
monitoring data, collected over a period of several years, that indicates significantly polluted stormwater runoff leaving
their site. Perdue has taken our suggestions and proposed changes to their site & their SMP that should correct the
problems associated with stormwater contamination from their industrial activities. Once these changes are
implemented, future monitoring data should show significant improvements.
I reviewed their revised stormwater package this week & spoke with Joey Baggett, Perdue Rep, today regarding
some minor changes, which they will submit next week. The following comments & recommendations are provided
regarding this facility and their NCS000167 stormwater permit:
41) Revised site plan shows (3) Stormwater Discharge Outfalls that correspond to (3) drainage basins. A fourth
drainage basin has limited BUA/activity & no discrete outlet. The (3) proposed SDOs should provide
representative sampling based on current operations.
(2) The proposed monitoring, benchmarks, & Tiered requirements in the draft permit appear to be reasonable.

(3) Draft Permit, Section B, Monitoring Requirements: Rainfall Event Duration should be included in Table 1. This
info can be useful in evaluating monitoring data & should be included.
"(4) Table 2: adjust dates to coincide with permit effective date.
45) Tier One: If a facility exceeds a benchmark, i think an inspection should be conducted within one week, not
two. Also, item #S4, minor changes should be implemented within 30 days, major changes, such as modifications
to BMPs and/or construction of additional BMPs, should be implemented within 90 days.
The WARO recommends that NCS000167 be reissued.

Hi Bill,
I'm in receipt of Perdue's revised site plan and proposed stormwater improvement plan. Have you been able to review
this information? I think it is sufficient for now and enough for us to move ahead with the permitting process. To do '
this, I'll need to have your staff report comments returned so I can go ahead and make some changes to the draft permit
and send to Perdue for comments. Please return the staff report at your earliest convenience.

Good Morning Cory,
We have a meeting with Mr. Black, Perdue Rep, on 7/22, Thursday, 2:00pm, at the WARO. At this point, I'm thinking
changes to.the number & locations of the outfalls is needed (not sure this would change draft permit ?) Also, we should
require additional sampling, at least until the numbers drop below benchmark levels. Can we draft the permit to include
this requirement; maybe as a special provision/condition that would require monthly monitoring that could drop back to
normal monitoring schedule after (3) favorable sets of data ? Hope you can make the meeting on Thursday, if not, I will
follow-up with you after our meeting.

Dear Mr. Black:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
On August 16, 2010, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received an updated site plan and stormwater
improvement plan (Plan) for the subject facility as requested during our meeting held July 22, 2010 at the
Washington Regional Office, The Plan's major components included modifications to exisiting stormwater
outfall locations as shown on the revised site plan, improvements to exisiting BMPs, and implementation of
new BMPs to address contaminated stormwater discharges Opm the facility. DWQ anticipates these
changes will significantly improve the quality of stormwater runoff discharging from the site.
The Plan's proposed changes should be implemented as soon as possible and no later than 90 days
following the effective date of the renewed permit (enclosed in draft form). DWQ shall be notified in
writing upon completion of Plan activities. In accordance with the permit monitoring schedule, a
representative storm event shall be sampled within 60 days following Plan completion of the proposed
BMPs and DWQ shall be notified in writing of the analytical results.
Enclos d with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your. facility. Please review the draft
carefully to ensure thorough understanding its conditions and requirements.
The draft permit contains a number of changes from this facility's current permit including:
Analytical monitoring changes:
1. Analytical monitoring parameter changes include the addition of oil and grease (O&G) and ammonia -
nitrogen to the current list of required parameters. O&G was added based on the onsite use, storage
and production of various petroleum hydrocarbons and soybean oil. Ammonia was added to evaluate
what portion of TKN discharges orginate from organic nitrogen sources versus ammonia -nitrogen.
2. Routine analytical monitoring is to be performed at stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) locations 1 and
2. Vehicle maintenance monitoring is to be performed at SDO #3. Qualitative monitoring is to be
performed at all SDOs.
3. Rainfall Event Duration has been added back as a reporting requirement for monitoring events.
4. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annual during a representative storm event as defined
in Part II Section B. The permittee must also document the total precipitation for each event. If no
discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating

"No Flow" within 30 days of the end:of the sampling period. Additionally, samples must be taken a
minimum of 60 days apart.
5. A tiered response system been added to this draft permit. Exceedances of benchmark values require
the permittee to increase monitoring, Increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or
install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program.
6. All analytical and qualitative monitoring samples must be collected during representative storm events
as defined in Part II Section B. j
7. The permittee is responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued.
8. Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi-annually and requires the collection of Non -
polar oil & grease / TPH With a revised benchmark value of 15 mg/L.
9. An annual DMR summary and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan update report is due to the
Washington Regional Office by Marche I 1 of each year.
Other permit changes: Ii
1. Additional guidance is provided about Site Plan requirements. The site map must now identify if the
receiving stream is impaired and if it has a TMDL established. It must also describe potential
pollutants in each 'outfall. The map requirements are stated more explicitly. And, the site plan must
contain a fist of significant spills that liave occurred in the past three years and also must certify that
the outfalls have been inspected to ensure that they do not contain non-stormwater discharges.
Additional information is provided in Part II Section A.
2. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Management Plan have been specified in Part II Section A.
More details regarding secondary containment are provided.
3. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Polhtion Prevention Plan have been specified in Part It
Section A. The plan must also be updated annually to include a list of significant spills and to certify
that the outfalls do not contain non-stormwater discharges.
4. The facility must now implement a semi-annual Facility Inspection Program of the site's stormwater
management controls as specified in Part 11 Section A.
5. Information regarding the No Exposure Exclusion has been added to this draft permit. If industriF!
materials and activities are not exposed :n pr,7cipitation or runoff as described in 40 �:rR §122 6(g,,
the facility may qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES stormwater discharge p ,frnit
requirements. Additional information is provided in Part I Section A.
I
Please submit any comments on the draft permit to my attention no later than thirty (30) days following
your receipt of the draft. Comments shouldjbe sent to the address listed at the bottom of page one of this
letter. If no adverse comments are received from the public or the permittee, this permit will likely be
issued within two months. °.

RE: Pardue Grain Tier Modification
I agree with Ken on the strategy for Perdue and similar sites being a good one.
I'm also not certain about changing the template, though. I think two weeks is still reasonable for most other sites, .
particularly under general permits, and that one week may be too short for a good reason in some situations. A week's
certainly not unreasonable (again it makes more sense for some places), but I think two weeks is still okay for the
standard.
I do like the 30-90 day schedule restraint. Ken's advice is good — it might be helpful to add text that advises requesting
an extension beyond 90 days from the RO for very major modifications. We might want to ask the other ROs what they
think before we do that, though. It does the beg the question of whether we're getting more intrusive earlier in the tiers
than we intend. We could not add that text, and the permittee would have to make the conclusion that if they can't
comply, they'd better get ih touch with DWQ.
To answer Ken's question of whether we provide the same requirement, I think Tier 2 references all the actions in Tier 1,
so would we need to?

Subject: RE: Perdue Grain Tier Modification
Cory,
a) I think this is OK for Perdue: I note that it is appropriate for DWQ to consider past sins in drafting the conditions
of a permit. I mean, if Perdue has been neglectful of their obligations under a past permit term, it's ok for us to
consider what kind of additional encouragement they may need as we renew their permit coverage. So, if you
and Bill think this will be helpful for Perdue, that's an ok conclusion and action, and it's within our authority to
beef up permit conditions as we judge helpful. KBP Opinion: YES
b) I think this is OK as an available strategy for others: Generally let's consider all the circumstances, and make our
best judgment on what makes sense. So, I can see that this approach, which is quicker than our current
standard Tier One, could be an attractive approach in similar circumstances. We should have this approach in
our tool box for other NCS permittees where circumstances suggest it may be helpful in protecting water quality
quicker. KBP Opinion: YES

I
c) Change the NCS template for all future NCS? Consider the elements of the proposed changes:
a. As a change to the NCS tem hate require all facilities to conduct a walk around inspection within one
week, rather than within two ,weeks_ KBP Opinion: Waffles, anyone? Rationale — In support of the
proposal, I think this shortened time frame emphasizes the importance of this simple, short -duration
task, and decreases the chance that the task will be temporarily set aside, and subsequently
overlooked. I like it from that perspective. However, we should anticipate that the responsible person
might be totally swamped at a manufacturing facility for two weeks on end, or that he may start his
annual 2-week vacation the day before the results come in. For those special circumstances we might
want to be understanding, at the RO inspector's discretion. This could improve the permittee's
attention to our permit conditions. (On the other hand, 1'd hate to have that sort of response time clack
imposed on a portion of my daily work -load. Is. this reasonable in that context? What about an
Environmental Manager for a company with 5 sites scattered across NC— what does he do when 3
results come in during the some week? —1 guess he will have to train site personnel to execute this walk
around for him. Seems tome that we are going to encounter non-compliance on this point pretty
frequently: Would we want to! be 'understanding' when, with some frequency, our inspectors discover
facilities that haven't met the 7-day clock? Or not? 1 definitely like this for Perdue, but I'm uncertain as
to changing the standard NCS template - - seems like we're just inviting dispute with our inspectors when
they arrive on a site. I think we; re in a better position saying, "You've had two weeks to get around to
this, and you haven't done it, that's a permit violation." Rather than defending against the complaint,
"One week? Do you guys have any idea what 1 do? This is our busy season, I can't take time out for this
that quickly." My weak recommendation is against dropping dawn from two weeks to one week as the
basis for the NCS template, but I'm open to the approach with these expectations: We could try it, and
then listen for feedback from the Regions. Or we could alert the Regions that we're considering this step
ahead of time, and see how they advise. Contrary arguments? I'm really uncertain on this point.
Comments, Bill? .................. More thoughts in support of the proposal — our program approach is that
supposedly the fairly innocuous industrial sites are covered under the General Permits. It's only the
riskier sites that we give NCS permits to. Maybe that in itself argues that a one -week response time is
called for, rather than a two -week response time, which we allow in the General Permits...??)
b. Split the standard 60 days into a130-dayclock for feasibility evaluation and im lementation of minor
corrective actions and a 90-dayclock for feasibility evaluation and implementation of major corrective
actions. KBP Opinion: YES, with Ia suggested additional feature. On the feasibility evaluation and
implementation of a major mod; maybe it would be helpful to provide permit text that allows the facility
to request an extension beyond 90 days from the RO. I'm thinking that evaluating and implementing a
major response may take an out'' -of -budget capital appropriation which may take time. RO discretion
based on receiving water, seriousness of the exceedance, realistic cost and planning concerns, past
compliance history, etc. as the RO determines. Essentially with the RO involvement, we're moving some
of the stealth Tier Three (four exceedances) considerations into Tier One, if the permittee chooses to
request the extension beyond 90�days for a major response. Should we provide the same conditions in
Tier 2? 1

Subject: Perdue Grain Tier Modification
BG/Ken/Bradley,

I've received a lot of useful and practical feedback from Bill Moore in WARO while working with him on the Perdue
individual permit, NC5000167. We are currently working with Perdue as they make some improvements at their facility
to address the past five years of polluted stormwater discharges that have gone largely unchecked. As part of the
renewed permit, we are proposing to modify Tier One as shown below (or similar) to hopefully facilitate faster and more
effective responses to benchmark exceedances.
r
I think this is a reasonable modification from current template language and one that we could apply to most all facilities
covered by an individual permit going forward. In essence we are asking the facility to 1) look at their results and
perform an inspection within one week of receiving them instead of two and 2) Implement minor changes within 30
days and major changes within 90 days instead of the standard two months for any selected action. Tier One responses
are generally a first cut at the problem and usually can be performed pretty quickly and easily so the language should
reflect that. Thoughts?
Tier One
If: The first valid sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any
arameter at any outfall;
Then: The permittee shall:
1. Conduct a stormwater management inspection of the facility within one week of receiving
sampling results,
2. Identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedence.
3. Identify potential and select the specific: source controls, operational controls, or physical
improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern, or to bring concentrations
within the benchmark range.
4. Implement selected actions within 30-90 days of the inspection. Note: Minor changes should be
made within 30 days of the inspection while major changes, such as modifications to BMPs or
construction of additional BMPs, should be implemented within 90 days.
5. Record each instance of a Tier One response in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. Include
the date and value of the benchmark exceedence, the inspection date, the personnel conducting the
inspection, the selected actions, and the date the selected actions were implemented.

BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES (BMPs)
A narrative description of Best Management Practices (BMPs) to be considered such as,
but not limited to, oil and grease separation, debris control, vegetative filter strips,
infiltration and stormwater detention or retention where necessary. The need for
structural BMPs shall be based on the assessment of potential sources contributing
significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected through
monitoring of stormwater discharges.
All fat, oil and petroleum tanks along with all water priority chemicals will be
located within secondary containments.
The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Team will evaluate the use of the
maintenance yard sweeper on the entire complex. In addition, the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Team will evaluate the possibility of erecting silt fencing near outfalls #2 and
#4 to ensure capture of dust and organic materials.
• The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Team will submit all recommendations to
Corporate Management or the level of management in charge of the operation.
• The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Team has recommended at least one
associate be employed full time for clean up at all facilities.
• The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Team has recommended action be taken to
collect water from equipment washing operations and that proper maintenance
and housekeeping be performed on a daily basis.
• The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Team has recommended erecting a roof
over the Feed Mill liquid containment area.
• The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Team has recommended proper associate
training and regular inspection of the site to ensure compliance with stormwater
guidelines.
• The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Team has recommended that all storm
drains be equipped with filters or appropriate screening to prevent organics from
entering exiting stormwater.
• The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Team has recommended that associates
employ dry -cleanup to remove debris and organics from areas that cannot be
reached by mechanical sweeper.

Please provide comments on the facility and draft permit and sign/return the staff report if
acceptable. The. -facility has requested -to combine' Outfalls-3 and 4 and move the saanpling,
location:downstream. This reque§t.will need'authorization.from your office. It appears
that site activities are different for Outfalls 3 and 4 and analytical monitoring results are
not favorable at either outfall. There is also a permitted spray irrigation system at the
facility so it may be beneficial to coordinate with Aquifer Protection Section for the site
visit. Please let me know what you find onsite. Thanks.

Good Afternoon Cory,
We received Perdue's revised site plan and supporting info on 08/16/10. As you know, this facility has provided
monitoring data, collected over a period of several years, that indicates significantly polluted stormwater runoff leaving
their site. Perdue has taken our suggestions and proposed changes to their site & their SMP that should correct the
problems associated with stormwater contamination from their industrial activities. Once these changes are
implemented, future monitoring data should show significant improvements.
I reviewed their revised stormwater package this week & spoke with Joey Baggett, Perdue Rep, today regarding
some minor changes, which they will submit next week. The following comments & recommendations are provided
regarding this facility and their NCS000167 stormwater permit:
(1) Revised site plan shows (3) Stormwater Discharge Outfalls that correspond to (3) drainage basins. A fourth
drainage basin has limited BUA/activity & no discrete outlet. The (3) proposed SDOs should provide
representative sampling based on current operations.
(2) The proposed monitoring, benchmarks, & Tiered requirements in the draft permit appear to be reasonable.
(3) Draft Permit, Section B, Monitoring Requirements: Rainfall Event Duration should be included in Table 1. This
info can be useful in evaluating monitoring data & should be included.
(4) Table 2: adjust dates to coincide with permit effective date.
(5) Tier One: If a facility exceeds a benchmark, I think an inspection should be conducted within one week, not
two. Also, item #4, minor changes should be implemented within 30 days, major changes, such as modifications
to BMPs and/or construction of additional BMPs, should be implemented within 90 days,
The WARO recommends that NCS000167 be reissued.

Hi Bill,
I'm in receipt of Perdue's revised site plan and proposed stormwater improvement plan. Have you been able to review
this information? I think it is sufficient for now and enough for us to move ahead with the permitting process. To do
this, I'll need to have your. staff report comments returned so I can go ahead and make some changes to the draft permit
and send to Perdue for comments. Please return the staff report at your earliest convenience.

Good Morning Cory,
We have a meeting with Mr. Black, Perdue Rep, on 7/22, Thursday, 2:00pm, at the WARD. At this point, I'm thinking
changes to the number & locations of the outfalls is needed (not sure this would change draft permit ?) Also, we should
require additional sampling, at least until the numbers drop below benchmark levels. Can we draft the permit to include
this requirement; maybe as a special provision/condition that would require monthly monitoring that could drop back to
normal monitoring schedule after (3) favorable sets of data ? Hope you can make the meeting on Thursday, if not, I will
follow-up with you after our meeting.

Central Office Review Summary;
1. Owner's Other Permits:
• WQ0001536 Surface Irrigation
• NCG500032 Non -contact tooling Water, Boiler Blowdown Wastewater Discharge — Expired 2002
2. General Observations:
• Medium sized facility with approximately 30-40% impervious area;
• Three (3) SDOs currently monitored (Outfalls 2-4). Pennittee has asked to combine sampling points
for outfalls 3 and 4 due to close proximity. WARO needs to evaluate if request is appropriate during site
inspection.
3. Impairment:
o Deep Creek is not listed as impaired on the 303(d) list or mentioned in the Chowan BWP for
impairment;
o Deep Creek drains a short distance to a section of the Chowan Rivcr which is listed for Hg standard
violation and has a Fair benthic rating down from Good in 2000. The BWP does not elaborate on
causes of the worsened rating.
4. Threatened and Endangered (within 2 miles):
o Four state -threatened mussels were found near the facility: Eastern Lanipmussel, 'Fidewater Mucket,
Eastern Pondmussel, and Triangle Floater.
5. Location:
o The facility is located northeast of Cofield, NC in a heavily agricultural area.
6. Industrial Changes Since Previous Permit:
o No major changes.
7. Analytical Monitoring Notes:
0 9 of 9 monitoring events performed as required. See Appendix A for Analytical Summary;
o In general, multiple benchmark exceedances for most all parameters at Outfall 3 and Outfall 4;
o Outfall 1 had fewer exceedanccs — primarily BOD/COD.
8. Qualitative Monitoring:
o Qualitative monitoring perftortrred twice per year as required. See Appendix B for Visual Summary;
a Some color noted consistently along with decrease clarity.
Page 4of10

NCS000167
Revised Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring:
l . Proposed strategy: All parameters to remain based on benchmark exceedances and/or sigmificant levels of
concern. Frequency to remain at semi-anmral.
a. Adding parameters as follows:
i. NH3-N (ammonia) — analytical results have shown significant nitrogen concentrations and that
TKN accounts for the majority of the total nitrogen load in the facility's discharges. TKN
organic N + Ammonia N. Currently, it is unknown what portion ofTKN is actually ammonia
nitrogen vs organic nitrogen so it is worth investigating when considering the high toxicity of
anunonia to aquatic life and the, occurrence of four threatened mussel species nearby. Since,
TN = TKN + NO3 + NO2, nitrates and nitrite are not considered to be problematic based on
review of the data.
ii. O&G — Soybean crude oil, No. 6 fuel oil, No. 2 diesel fuel, and gasoline stored and handled
onsite. Both petroleum and vegetable hydrocarbons are present so oil and grease is best
parameter,
2. The Tiered monitoring system has been added to this draft permit.
3. Analytical and qualitative monitoring required during representative storm events, Qualitative monitoring
required regardless of representative outfall status. Qualitative monitoring to be performed semi-annually.
Other Proposed Changes to the Previous Permit:
1. See draft permit for full details.
Discussion with Permittee: Joey Baggett, Facility Contact, Messages left April 15, 2010, [phone].
• General description of facility products, activities, etc?
o Four main activities: Soy Bean P.lant'(extraction), Feed Mill (poultry feed), Grain Storage, and
Maintenance Garage (farm machinery).
• Source of nitrogen in runoff?
o Most likely from grain storage/soybeans breaking down/fermcntat ion and amino acids associated
with that, Sweeping of area and witch hats einployed t.o minimize beans in runoff.
• Wastewater treatment onsite for what, just for cooling water? Where is it located:? What type of treatment?
Are lagoons part of WWTP for facility?
o Wastewater treatment of process water from soybean crush plant (lagoons) and discharge of non -
contact cooling* water. So one spray irrigation permit and one NPDES permit in addition to the
storrnwater NPDES permit,
• Drainage area boundaries — difficult to see on map provided?
o Explained to me while both looking at the site plan.
• How many acres is the facility?
o Over 20 acres if you include open area on the west side past cooling towers.

Dear Mr. Larsen:
We are submitting thiscnformation as a formal request to renew our Stormwater permit # NCS000167
for our Cofield N.C. Tacit :;are have been no significant changes in industrial activities that
would constitute changes in management practices.
At this time we also formally request the combination of outfalls # 3 and # 4 to one outfall called
outfall # 4. The outfalls involved ( # 3 and # 4 )converge into one ditch at the present sample points for
outfalls (# 3 and # 4) as shown on the site plan included. This ditch then travels approximately 300
yards before being joined by outfall # 2 and then proceeding another 150 yards before going off our
site. We propose and request to sample outfall # 4 at 200 yards past the present sampling point for
# 3 and # 4. We feel this would give us a more representative sample of stormwater from these
areas and also eliminate the redundancy of sampling two outfalls 10 feet apart that flow into the
same ditch before going offsite, The areas in question are marked on the site plan enclosed.
The sample point for outfall # 2 would stay at it's present place giving the facility two outfalls, #2 & # 4.
Please find enclosed the appropriate application forms and requested information.
I hope this information meets your approval. If you should have any questions or concerns,please
contact me at 252-348-4326.

Dear Mr. Black:
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. Please review the draft
very carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains.
The draft permit contains the following significant changes from this facility's current permit:
• Analytical monitoring frequency for all parameters has changed to semi-annual (once in the
spring and once in the fall). This change reflects the Division's revised strategy for renewal
permits and makes stormwater sampling frequency consistent with qualitative monitoring.
Semi-annual monitoring is in both Sections B and D (Vehicle Maintenance) of Part H.
• Total Nitrogen (TN) and pH monitoring has been added in Part II, Section B of the permit. TN
is included for sites where activities are a potential source of nitrogen and stormwater runoff
enters Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW). The permit also still requires TKN monitoring (organic
nitrogen component).
• The Division has incorporated benchmark values into the permit. These benchmarks are not
permit limits but should be used as guidelines for your facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plan (SPPP). If any measurements exceed benchmark values, your facility should evaluate the
effectiveness of its Best Management Practices (BMPs), review and/or update its SPPP, and
document any efforts to address stormwater contamination (see Part II, Sections B and D).
• Total Flow monitoring has been removed. The permit still requires Total Rainfall amount and
Rainfall Event Duration be recorded for each sampling event. This change is also based on the
Division's revised strategy for stormwater monitoring in renewal permits. Please note that the
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) site map must include drainage area for each
outfall in acres and the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious (see Part II, Sec. A).
Please submit any comments to me no later than thirty (30) days following your receipt of the draft.
Comments should be sent to the address listed at the bottom of this page. If no adverse comments are
received from the public or from you, this permit will likely be issued in about two months.

S/W Permit File
Analytical &Qualitative Monitoring Results summary
Chowan Basinwide Plans (rev. July 2002)
Central Office Review Summary:
Facility discharges stormwater to an unnamed tributary to Deep Creek, which feeds into the Chowan River, This
waterbody is not listed on the 303(d) list of impaired waters; however, it is a nutrient sensitive water (NSW). The
Chowan Basinwide Plan addresses the NSW stormwater (S/W) Management strategies for point and non -point
(agricultural) sources but does not have specific recommendations for individual S/W dischargers (Note: this
facility is listed as in sub -basin 03-01-03 in the Basinwide Plan, which is incorrect). The Basinwide Plan stresses the
need to focus od non -point sources of nutrients and recommends continuing 1997 recommendations for wastewater
point sources: a 1 mg/I TP limit and 3 mg/1 TN limit. Based on quarterly TKN and TP monitoring results, this site
is a nutrient contributor (TKN ranged 2-21 mg/l, and TP ranged 0.6-3.3 mg/1) and should probably also monitor
for total nitrogen (TN); the reviewer recommends including TN monitoring in the next permit term. Low
dissolved oxygen (DO) was also cited as a concern for the Chowan River in this part of the basin and could be
attributable to agriculture, intensive animal feeding operations, and/or natural swamp conditions.
Since last renewal, the company has had no significant changes in industrial activities.
Qualitative Monitoring Results: Permittee sent results from 1999-03. Some floating and suspended solids, as well
as decrease in clarity occasionally observed. Color varied from brown to green -gray. If it has not already, the site
should consider BMPs to reduce solids.
Analytical Monitoring: See attached Monitoring Data Analysis. Reviewer recommends retaining all monitoring
requirements because levels measured during the first observation (12/ 11 /2002) at outfalls 002 and 003 were above
the benchmark concentrations, and because discharge is to nutrient sensitive waters (entire basin). TSS also
retained because floating solids were frequently noted in qualitative observations (TSS is also the parameter
included for this industry in the EPA Multi -Sector permit). pH values were acceptable, though vehicle
maintenance area runoff was slightly below 6 su at times (5.8-5.9, in two of the samples). In addition, the draft
renewal incorporates total nitrogen (TN) monitoring, per NSW strategy, and specifies pH monitoring in Section B
(site monitored pH at all outfalls anyway).
Monitoring frequency will increase to semi-annually. This change ensures at least nine data points are collected
through the permit term and makes monitoring frequency consistent with qualitative monitoring. Also, benchmark
values for all parameters have also been added to the permit as a guide for the permittee to'check the effectiveness
of BMPs (and document efforts) when necessary. If TN and TP were monitored only because of discharge to NSW
waters (i.e., to collect data), we would not necessarily include benchmarks; however, this site and its processes are a
source of nutrients in stormwater runoff, and keeping BMPs in check could impact the amounts discharged.
Note: Permit specifies analytical monitoring should be performed "at each stormwater discharge outfall"; however,
permittee has been monitoring for nutrients and oxygen consuming wastes only at outfalls 002 & 003 (which
capture runoff from the feed preparation areas). Only parameters associated with vehicle maintenance (drainage
area #3) are sampled at outfall 004. This may be appropriate if the drainage area is segregated from rest of the feed
mill activities (appears to be on the site map), but should be verified and specified in the permit and/or cover letter.
Follow-up with the company contact (Wayne Black, 252-348A326) on 4/ 1 /05:
Has the site considered any BMPs to reduce solids in stormwater discharge?
Yes. Right now the site manually routes water that collects in feed ingredient containment areas to the
wastewater system. However, the company is also looking at installing roofing over this area this next
year to prevent stormwater from even entering those containment areas. Also, site had all ditches cleaned
out a few years ago.

• Anything done to reduce BOD/COD levels since December 2002 (was it a particularly bad storm, or a
problem at the site)? Levels were lower in the remaining samples.
Not sure what the cause was. May have been more concentrated because it was a smaller rainfall (0.44").
The facility did clean out all the ditches around the site, possibly between this and subsequent sampling
periods, which might explain the improvement.
• Several fuel oil tanks noted in drainage areas 1 & 2; what kind of containment, and has facilityever had
spills?
These tanks have secondary containment and are under roof. Site also has SPCC plan in place.
• As a BMP for the feed mill, the facility noted "erect a roof over the new feed ingredient containment
area." Was this ever done?
It is being assessed and may have already been added to the budget (see earlier question). This is
something the company would like to do at all of its facilities.
• Site only monitors for nutrients and oxygen consuming wastes at outfalls 002 & 003. Is there potential for
any of these pollutants from vehicle maintenance garage drainage area #3 (to outfall 004)?
No; the drainage area is segregated.

Basis for Monitoring:
See attached Monitoring Data Analysis. Retained monitoring, based
on results and potential pollutants at the site. Also added TN (only
monitored TKN) and pH monitoring (site monitored for pH at all
outfalls anyway). Activities triggered vehicle maintenance monitoring
(new motor oil usage averaged 66.7 gal/mo.)
All monitoring has changed to Semi -Annual (spring and fall). This
change is based on the Division's revised strategy for stormwater
monitoring in renewal permits and makes stormwater discharge
sampling frequency consistent with qualitative monitoring. In
addition, DWQ has incorporated benchmark values into the permit.
��� 2Q5 These benchmarks are not permit limits but should be used as
guidelines for the facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SPPP). New language in the permit specifies that if any
1pg-� measurements exceed benchmark values, the facility should evaluate
19 R the effectiveness of its BMPs, review and/or update its SPPP, and
document any efforts to address stormwater contamination (see Part
II, Sec. B & D).
Total Flow monitoring has also been removed per DWQ 'revised
strategy (Total Rainfall and Event Duration parameters retained).
Instead, Part II. Sec, A clarifies that SPPP site map include drainage
area for each outfaIl in acres and percent impervious area in each
drainage area (should flow ever need to be estimated).

S/W Permit File
Analytical &Qualitative Monitoring Results summary
Chowan Basinwide Plans (rev. July 2002)
Central Office Review Summary:
Facility discharges stormwater to an unnamed tributary to Deep Creek, which feeds into the Chowan River. This
waterbody is not listed on the 303(d) list of impaired waters; however, it is a nutrient sensitive water (NSW). The
Chowan Basinwide Plan addresses the NSW stormwater (S/W) Management strategies for point and non -point
(agricultural) sources but does not have specific recommendations for individual S/W dischargers (Note: this
facility is listed as in sub -basin 03-01-03 in the Basinwide Plan, which is incorrect). The Basinwide Plan stresses the
need to focus on non -point sources of nutrients and recommends continuing 1997 recommendations for wastewater
point sources: a 1 mg/l TP limit and 3 mg/1 TN limit. Based on quarterly TKN and TP monitoring results, this site
is a nutrient contributor (TKN ranged 2-21 mg/l, and TP ranged 0.6-3.3 mg/1) and should probably also monitor
for total nitrogen (IN); the reviewer recommends including TN monitoring in the next permit term. Low
dissolved oxygen (DO) was also cited as a concern for the Chowan River in this part of the basin and could be
attributable to agriculture, intensive animal feeding operations, and/or natural swamp conditions.
Since Iast renewal, the company has had no significant changes in industrial activities.
Qualitative Monitoring Results: Permittee sent results from 1999-03. Some floating and suspended solids, as well
as decrease in clarity occasionally observed. Color varied from brown to green -gray. If it has not already, the site
should consider BMPs to reduce solids.
Analytical Monitoring: See attached Monitoring Data Analysis. Reviewer recommends retaining all monitoring
requirements because levels measured during the first observation (12/11/2002) at outfalls 002 and 003 were above
the benchmark concentrations, and because discharge is to nutrient sensitive waters (entire basin). TSS also
retained because floating solids were frequently noted in qualitative observations (TSS is also the parameter
included for this industry in the EPA Multi -Sector permit), pH values were acceptable, though vehicle
maintenance area runoff was slightly below 6 su at times (5.8-5.9, in two of the samples). In addition, the draft
renewal incorporates total nitrogen (TN) monitoring, per NSW strategy, and specifies pH monitoring in Section B
(site monitored pH at all outfalls anyway).
Monitoring frequency will increase to semi-annually. This change ensures at least nine data points are collected
through the permit term and makes monitoring frequency consistent with qualitative monitoring. Also, benchmark
values for all parameters have also been added to the permit as a guide for the permittee to check the effectiveness
of BMPs (and document efforts) when necessary. If TN and TP were monitored onlybecause of discharge to NSW
waters (i.e., to collect data), we would not necessarily include benchmarks; however, this site and its processes are a
source of nutrients in stormwater runoff, and keeping BMPs in check could impact the amounts discharged.
Note: Permit specifies analytical monitoring should be performed "at ea stormwater discharge outfall"; however,
permittee has been monitoring for nutrients and oxygen consuming wastes only at outfalls 002 & 003 (which
capture runoff from the feed preparation areas). Only parameters associated with vehicle maintenance (drainage
area #3) are sampled at outfall 004. This may be appropriate if the drainage area is segregated from rest of the feed
mill activities (appears to be on the site map), but should be verified and specified in the permit and/or cover letter.

Permit No. NCSOOO 167
2. Stormwater Management Plan. The stormwater management plan shall contain a
narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or
minimize the exposure of significant materials to stormwater, including structural and
nonstructural measures. The stormwater management plan, at a minimum, shall
incorporate the following:
a. Feasibility Study. A review of the technical and economic feasibility of changing
the methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure
of materials and processes to stormwater. Wherever practical, the permittee shall
prevent exposure of all storage areas, material handling operations, and
manufacturing or fueling operations. In areas where elimination of exposure is
not practical, the stormwater management plan.shA document the feasibility of
diverting the stormwater runoff away fro4n aiMf potential contamination.
b. Secondary Containment Schedule. A Khedule to'Trovide secondary containment
for bulk storage of liquid materials, stVa e f Section 313 of Title III of the
Superfund Amendments and Reaut orizati "ct (SARA) water priority
chemicals, or storage of hazardo s c to prevent leaks and spills from
contaminating stormwater run th secondary containment devices are
connected directly to storm er -on v ance systems, the connection shall be
controlled by manually ach,te v ves or other similar devices [which shall be
secured with a to In m h .sm] and any stormwater that accumulates in the
containment area sh 1 . at nimum visually observed for color, foam, outfall
staining, visible eens n weather flow, prior to release of the accumulated
stormwater. cumula stormwater shall be released if found to be
uncontamina by th aterial stored within the containment area. Records
documenting a n, ividual making the observation, the description of the
accumulated stormwater and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a
period of five years.
C. BMP Summary. A narrative description shall be provided of Best Management
Practices (BMPs) to be considered such as, but not limited to, oil and grease
separation, debris control, vegetative filter strips, infiltration and stormwater
detention or retention, where necessary. The need for structural BMPs shall be
based on the assessment of potential of sources to contribute significant quantities
of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected through monitoring of
stormwater discharges.
3. Spill Prevention and Response Plan. The Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP)
shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials
inventory of the facility. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the
SPRP shall be identified. A responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility
operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or
exposure of materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP must be site
stormwater specific. Therefore, a SPCC plan may be a component of the SPRP, but may
not be sufficient to completely address the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common
elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may be incorporated by reference into the SPRP.
Part II Page 2 of 7

Permit No. NCS000167
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative
maintenance program shall be developed. The program shall document schedules of
inspections and maintenance activities of stormwater control systems, plant equipment
and systems. Inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of
these areas shall be incorporated into the program.
5. Employee Training. Training schedules shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis on proper spill response and cleanup procedures and
preventative maintenance activities for all personnel involved in any of the facility's
operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. Facility personnel
(or team) responsible for implementing the training shall be identified.

locations and impervious surfaces should be clearly noted.
2. A summary of Analytical Monitoring results, during the term of the existing permit (if your
permit required analytical sampling). Do not submit individual lab reports. The summary
can consist of a table including such items as outfall number, parameters sampled, lab
results, date sampled, and storm event data. *
3. A summary of the Visual Monitoring results. Do not submit individual monitoring reports.
The summary can consist of a table including such items as outfall number, parameters
surveyed, observations, and date monitoring conducted.
• 4. A summary of the Best Management Practices utilized at the permitted facility. Summary
should consist of a short narrative description of each BMP's in place at the facility. If the
` implementation of any BMP's is planned, please include information on these BMP's.
5. A short narrative describing any significant changes in industrial activities at the permitted
facility. Significant changes could include the addition or deletion of work processes,
changes in material handling practices, changes in material storage practices, and/or
changes in the raw materials used by the facility.
�- 6. Certification of the development and implementation of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plan for the permitted facility (Sign and return attached form).
* If the final year analytical monitoring of the existing permit term has not been completed
prior to filing the renewal submittal, then the last years monitoring results should be
submitted within 30 days of receipt of the laboratory reports. (i.e. do not withhold renewal
submittal waiting on lab results)
Representative storm sampling may now be conducted anytime during the year (the April to
November window has been eliminated) and the representative rainfall event is now
defined as a storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches and is preceded by at least 72
hours in which no storm event measuring greater than 0.1 inches has occurred.

Current Status
Over $1,942,634 of Agriculture Cost Share funding has been directed toward the basin over the
last five years. DWQ and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation continue to collaborate
on efforts to protect and restore water quality in the Chowan River basin due to agricultural
impacts. DWQ does not have flow data for the Chowan River, limiting DWQ scientists' ability
to conduct long-term records of 'load". DWQ continues to measure concentrations and
document response measures.
All municipal POTWs have switched to non -discharge systems for treatment of domestic
wastewater, and are required to meet total nitrogen and total phosphorus limits for new and
expanding private systems that discharge nutrient -bearing wastes.
4.7.2 Discharges of Oxygen -Consuming Waste to Swamp Waters
Most of the freshwater in the Chowan River basin is swampy with naturally low dissolved
oxygen (DO), low pH, and low or zero flow during summer months. Wastewater discharges that
discharge effluent with high biological oxygen demand have the potential to further reduce DO
in these swampy streams. Models to evaluate the impact of discharges to swamp streams have
not been developed.
4.7.3 2002 Recommendations
The Chowan River NSW recommendations from 1997 will remain in effect. DWQ continues to
issue permits for point sources using the NSW management strategy that involves nitrogen and
phosphorus limits and land application requirements. DWQ will conduct a 15-year status
analysis on nutrient reduction efforts in the Chowan River basin. Anticipated date of availability
is 2005. The DWQ modelers and NPDES permittees will review the information, reevaluate
current permit limitations, and revise as necessary based on this analysis.
DWQ will pursue reclassification of streams that have swampy characteristics to include the
supplemental classification Sw that identifies the swampy nature of these streams. New and
expanding discharges will be carefully considered on a case -by -case basis.
4.8 Priority Issues for the Next Five Years
4.8.1 Introduction
Clean water is crucial to the health, economic and ecological well-being of the state. Tourism,
water supplies, recreation and a high quality of life for residents are dependent on the water
resources within any given river basin. Water quality problems are varied and complex.
Inevitably, water quality impairment is due to human activities within the watershed. Solving
these problems and protecting the surface water quality of the basin in the face of continued
growth and development will be a major challenge. Looking to the future, water quality in this
basin will depend on the manner in which growth and development occur.
Section A: Chapter 4 —Water Quality Issues Related to the Entire for the Chowan River Basin 69

Comparing the number of acres of wetland impacts to the number of acres of wetland mitigation
activities, each year there has typically been more wetland acres mitigated than impacts
permitted. The years 1995, 1998 and 2000 are exceptions.
4.6.3 2002 Recommendations
Through protecting wetlands, local decision -makers can reduce the likelihood of nonpoint source
contamination of surface waters. DWQ recommends that local governments consider the value
of wetlands and include protection of wetlands in land use plans. DWQ will provide funding
source information upon request to local governments for opportunities to restore, enhance or
create wetlands.
4.7 Chowan River Basin Wastewater Discharger Issues
4.7.1 Chowan River Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW) Strategy
1997 Recommendations
Nutrient enrichment in the Chowan River basin continues to be a primary water quality concern.
Since the application of the Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW) management strategy, reductions
in nutrient loads have been achieved and algal blooms have been less frequent and shorter in
duration. As of 1990, installation of control measures for agricultural nonpoint sources through
the Agricultural Cost Share Program had resulted in a six percent reduction in North Carolina's
total phosphorus input (DEM, 1990). Also, many point source discharges in the basin have
converted their facilities to land application operations, reducing nutrient loads to the surface
waters. Overall, as of 1990, the nitrogen reduction goal of 20 percent had been accomplished
and total phosphorus had been reduced by 29 precent (goal of 35 percent).
Major points of the 1990 management strategy include:
Reduction in phosphorus inputs from point and nonpoint sources by 35-40 precent
Point Sources
♦ Land application systems for municipal wastewater treatment plants
♦ Phosphorus limits of 1 mg/1 in the North Carolina portion of the basin
G Nonpoint Sources
♦ Target funds from the Agriculture Cost Share Program to the Chowan River basin
Reduction of nitrogen inputs from all sources by 20 percent
C Point Sources
♦ Land application systems for municipal wastewater treatment plants
♦ Nitrogen limits of 3 mg/l in the North Carolina portion of the basin
Nonpoint Sources
♦ Target funds from the Agriculture Cost Share Program to the Chowan River basin
The 1997 plan recommends continuing the 1990 NSW management strategy.
Section A: Chapter 4 -- Water Quality Issues Related to the Entire for the Chowan River Basin 68

1.4 Other Water Quality Impacts and Recommendations
The surface waters discussed in this section are fully supporting designated uses based on
DWQ's use support assessment and are not considered to be impaired. However, notable water
quality problems and concerns have been documented for some waters based on this assessment.
While these waters are not considered impaired, attention and resources should be focused on
these waters over the next basinwide planning cycle to prevent additional degradation or
facilitate water quality improvement. A discussion of how impairment is determined can be
found in Section A, Part 3.5.
Water quality problems in the Chowan River basin are varied and complex. Inevitably, many of
the water quality impacts noted are associated with human activities within the watershed.
Solving these problems and protecting the surface water quality of the basin in the face of
continued growth and development will be a major challenge. Voluntary implementation of
BMPs is encouraged and continued monitoring is recommended. DWQ will notify local
agencies and others of water quality concerns for the waters discussed below and work with them
to conduct further monitoring and to locate sources of water quality protection funding.
Additionally, education on local water quality issues is always a useful tool to prevent water
quality problems and to promote restoration efforts. Nonpoint source program agency contacts
are listed in Appendix VI.
1.4.1 Upper Chowan River (1.8 miles from Virginia state line to Near Riddicksville)
The upper Chowan River was considered support threatened in the 1997 plan due to a stressed
aquatic system that experienced threats of algal blooms.
1997 Recommendations
Because the upper Chowan bridges both Virginia and North Carolina, the recommendation was
for North Carolina to improve communication with Virginia to promote actions to reduce
nutrient levels entering the state from the headwaters.
The abandoned CF Industries fertilizer plant has been associated with contaminated groundwater
due to the plant's operation. The state has been concerned about potential groundwater seepage
into the Chowan River which is susceptible to algal blooms under certain conditions.
Groundwater chromium levels were found in sufficient quantities to trigger the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), but with respect to water quality, the nutrients
contained in the waste presented a continued concern. DWQ was working to finalize the non -
discharge permit with CF Industries to allow for groundwater remediation.
Status of Progress
DWQ recommended improving communication with the State of Virginia in order to promote
actions to reduce nutrient levels crossing over the state border. North Carolina has actively
pursued interstate collaboration through working towards a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA)
between the two states. Instituted through the Albemarle -Pamlico National Estuary Program,
North Carolina signed a MOA with Virginia's Department of Conservation and Recreation in
October 2001. In addition, both states have jointly funded a Watershed Field Coordinator
Section B: Chapter 1 — Chowan River Subbasin 03-01-01 79

position to facilitate discussions regarding the Albemarle, Chowan and Coastal Watersheds (see
Section C for more information).
Since the 1997 plan, DWQ has finalized and issued a non -discharge permit to CF Industries for
groundwater remediation by extraction and land application. The facility, characterized as a
`Superfund site, has a clay wall built around the site to minimize further groundwater seepage.
During the last ten years, there have been flows above the level of the dyke; however, recent
efforts have reduced the water overflow challenges and the groundwater has stabilized below the
dyke. The DWQ Washington Regional Office remains in communication with the Division of
Solid and Hazardous Waste to ensure permit limits are adhered to.
2002 Recommendations
In an effort to solidify the interstate efforts currently underway, the two states will begin to
implement the MOA. In addition, Virginia and North Carolina should continue to fund the
Watershed Field Coordinator position through the NC Albemarle -Pamlico National Estuary
Program to ensure the continuity and stabilization of this effort.
DWQ should remain abreast of activities in Virginia towards developing a watershed -based
forum for water quality in the upper Chowan, part of Virginia's Watershed Conservation
Roundtable effort. Once this effort is underway, DWQ should participate in the discussions,
share data and management strategies, and foster interstate basin management as much as
feasible.
The Chowan River had 1.8 miles listed on the state's Section 303(d) list as having low dissolved
oxygen potentially due to agriculture, intensive animal feeding operations, or natural swamp
conditions. DWQ will determine whether the low DO is due to natural conditions. The upper
Chowan River is one of two stream segments selected in the Chowan River basin to undergo the
Swamp Waters Study Plan. If the study indicates that the low pH values and DO concentrations
in the upper Chowan River are due to natural conditions, DWQ staff will pursue removing the
river from the Section 303(d) List and submit a request for reclassification of the river from C
NSW to C NSW Sw.
For more information on the Swamp Waters Study Plan, contact the DWQ Planning Branch
Modeling/TMDL Unit at [phone] or visit the program's website at
http://112o.enr.state.nc.us/tmd1/.
1.5 Additional Issues of Concern within the Subbasin
The previous section discussed water quality concerns for specific stream segments. This section
discusses water quality issues that relate to multiple watersheds in the Chowan River basin.
Permitted wastewater dischargers, non -permitted wastewater dischargers, priority areas for
conservation and priority areas for restoration were all identified by participants at the public
workshop as significant issues in the Chowan River basin.
Section B: Chapter I — Chowan River Suhbasirn 03-01-01 so

1.5.1 NPDES Facilities
DWQ reviews NPDES effluent data by analyzing monthly averages of water quality parameters
over a two-year period, screening for criterion in excess of state standards for conventional and
toxic pollutants. Three NPDES permit holders in the subbasin violated their monthly discharge
limitations during this period.
The Gates County School located at Buckland exceeded its fecal coliform limits by greater than
40 percent in the fourth quarter of 1998 and the first quarter of 1999. In addition, the facility
exceeded its limitations by 20 percent in four months over the two quarters. The T.S. Cooper
Elementary School operated by the Gates County School System exceed its ammonia limits by
greater than 40 percent over the first and second quarters of 1999. In addition, the facility
exceeded its limits by 20 percent in five months over the same two quarters. The facilities are
operational; however, they have maintenance challenges. DWQ has levied fines and has
established a record of chronic noncompliance, but DWQ does not recommend issuing a Special
Order by Consent (SOC) to remedy'the noncompliance issues. Instead, DWQ's Washington
Regional Office will continue to provide technical assistance to the schools.
Indalex, Incorporated exceeded its total suspended solid limits by greater than 40 percent in the
third and fourth quarters of 1999.
1.5.2 Non -Discharge Facilities
There have been both public and governmental concerns about the construction and maintenance
of wastewater and industrial waste infrastructure. The sanitary waste that is going to the Winton
Wastewater Treatment Plant from Nucor is within tolerance. Apparently, the water quality
concerns associated with Nucor are more focused on the industrial waste for which a lagoon must
be constructed. DWQ also has concerns about the planned construction of the lagoon.
DWQ's Washington Regional Office will continue to work with Nucor on their lagoon site plans,
construction and operation. Nucor should aim to provide more information to the public about
its facility to address some of the public's concern about the plant's operation.

Dear Mr. Black:
In response to your renewal application for continued coverage under NPDES stormwater permit
NCS000167, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) is forwarding herewith the subject state - NPDES permit. This
permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215 .I and the Memorandum of
Agreement between North Carolina and the US Environmental Protection agency dated December 6, 1983.
Please note that the enclosed permit may differ from the draft permit that was previously sent. Based on a
review of the permit monitoring data received to date, the Division has revised the monitoring strategy for individual
stormwater permits. The measurement frequency has been changed and cut-off concentrations have been removed.
These changes will be implemented for all second term individual stormwater permits with analytical monitoring
requirements. For those permits with analytical monitoring requirements, Part II - Monitoring, Controls, and
Limitations for Permitted Discharges has been modified to reflect the change in monitoring strategy.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable to
you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of
this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina
General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, Post Office Drawer 27447, Raleigh, North
Carolina 27611 -7447. Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.
Please take notice this permit is not transferable. Part III, B.2. addresses the requirements to be followed in
case of change in ownership or control of this discharge.
This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the
Division of Water Quality or permits required by the Division of Land Resources, Coastal Area Management Act or
any other Federal or Local governmental permit that may be required.
If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact Aisha Lau at telephone number g i gn33-

PART II MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR PERMITTED DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
The permittee shall develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, herein after referred to as the Plan. This Plan
shall be considered public information in accordance with Part III, Standard Conditions, Section E, Paragraph 3 of
this individual permit. The Plan shall include, at a minimum, the following items:
Site Plan. The site plan shall provide a description of the physical facility and the potential pollutant
sources which may be expected to contribute to contamination of stormwater discharges. The site plan shall
contain the following:
(a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle map or appropriately drafted equivalent map),
showing the facility's location in relation to transportation routes and surface waters, the name of
the receiving water(s) to which the stormwater outfall(s) discharges, or if the discharge is to a
municipal separate storm sewer system, the name of the municipality and the ultimate receiving
waters; and accurate latitude and longitude of the point(s) of discharge.
(b) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities, outdoor process
areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and waste disposal practices.
(c) A site map drawn to scale with the distance legend indicating location of industrial activities
(including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas and loading and unloading areas),
drainage structures, drainage areas for each outfall and activities occurring in the drainage area,
building locations, existing BMPs and impervious surfaces, and the percentage of each drainage
area that is impervious. For each outfall, a narrative description of the potential pollutants which
could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge.
(d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred at the facility during the 3
previous years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts.
(e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater
discharges. The certification statement will be signed in accordance with the requirements found
in Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3.
2. Stormwater Management Plan. The stormwater management plan shall contain a narrative description of
the materials management practices employed which control or minimize the exposure of significant
materials to stormwater, including structural and nonstructural measures. The stormwater management
plan, at a minimum, shall incorporate the following:
(a) Feasibility Study. A review of the technical and economic feasibility of changing the methods of
operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure of materials and processes to
Stormwater. Wherever practical, the permittee shall prevent exposure of all storage areas, material
handling operations, and manufacturing or fueling operations. In areas where elimination of
exposure is not practical, the stormwater management plan shall document the feasibility of
diverting the stormwater runoff away from areas of potential contamination.
(b) Secondary Containment Schedule. A schedule to provide secondary containment for bulk storage
of liquid materials, storage of Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority chemicals, or storage of hazardous substances to
prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. If the secondary containment
devices are connected directly to stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be
controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices [which shall be secured with a
Part II Page 1 of 5

Permit No. NCS0001 67
locking mechanism) and any stormwater that accumulates in the containment area shall be at a
minimum visually observed for color, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow,
prior to release of the accumulated stormwater: Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found
to be uncontaminated by the material stored within the containment area. Records documenting
the individual making the observation, the description of the accumulated stormwater and the date
and time of the release shall be kept for a period of five years.
(c) BMP Summary. A narrative description shall be provided of Best Management Practices (BMPs)
to be considered such as, but not limited to, oil and grease separation, debris control, vegetative
filter strips, infiltration and stormwater detention or retention, where necessary. The need for
structural BMPs shall be based on the assessment of potential of sources to contribute significant
quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected through monitoring of
stormwater discharges.
Spill Prevention and Response Plan. The Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP) shall incorporate an
assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials inventory of the facility. Facility personnel
(or team) responsible for implementing the SPRP shall be identified. A responsible person shall be on -site
at all times during facility operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff through spills
or exposure of materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP must be site stormwater specific.
Therefore, a SPCC plan may be a component of the SPRP, but may not be sufficient to completely address
the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may be
incorporated by reference into the SPRP.
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance program shall be
developed. The program shall document schedules of inspections and maintenance activities of stormwater
control systems, plant equipment and systems. Inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning
schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program.
5. Employee Training. Training schedules shall be developed and training provided at a minimum on an
annual basis on proper spill response and cleanup procedures and preventative maintenance activities for all
personnel involved in any of the facility's operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater
runoff. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the training shall be identified.
b. Responsible Party, The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall identify a specific position(s)
responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision to the Plan.
Responsibilities for all components of the Plan shall be documented and position assignments provided.
7. Plan Amendment. The permittee shall amend the Plan whenever there is a change in design, construction,
operation, or maintenance which has a significant effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to
surface waters. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall be reviewed and updated on an annual
basis.
The Director may notify the permittee when the Plan does not meet one or more of the minimum
requirements of the permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee shall submit a time schedule to the
Director for modifying the Plan to meet minimum requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in
writing (in accordance with Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3) to the Director that the
changes have been made.
8. Facility Inspection Program. Facilities are required to inspect all stormwater systems on at least a
semiannual schedule, once in the fall (September -November) and once in the spring (April - June). The
inspection and any subsequent maintenance activities performed shall be documented, recording date and
time of inspection, individual(s) making the inspection and a narrative description of the facility's
stormwater control systems, plant equipment and systems. Records of these inspections shall be
incorporated into the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
Part 11 Page 2 of 5

Permit No. NCS000167
Stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring as required in Part II of this permit shall be performed in
addition to facility inspections.
9. Implementation. The permittee shal I document all monitoring, measurements, inspections and maintenance
activities and training provided to employees, including the log of the sampling data and of activities taken
to implement BMPs associated with the industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance activities. Such
documentation shall be kept on -site for a period of five years and made available to the Director or his
authorized representative immediately upon request.

Subject: NPDES Stormwater Permit Renewal
Perdue Farms, Inc.
Permit Number NCS000167
Hertford County
Dear Permittee:
Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under NPDES Permit NCS000167. This permit
expires on August 31, 1999. In order to assure your continued coverage under your permit, you must apply to the
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) for renewal of your permit. To make this renewal process easier, we are
informing you in advance that your permit will be expiring. Enclosed you will find an individual permit renewal
application form, supplemental information request, and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan certification.
Filing the application form along with the requested supplimental information will constitute your application for
renewal of your permit. The application form must be completed and returned along with all requested
information within thirty days of receipt of this letter in order to constitute a timely renewal filing.
Recent legislation modified the fee structure for DWQ permits. Renewal fees have been eliminated and annual
fees have been changed. The new annual fee for your permit is now $715.00 (you will be invoiced later this year
for your annual fee.) A copy of the new fee schedule is enclosed in this package.
Failure to request renewal within the time period indicated may result in a civil assessment of at least $250.00.
Larger penalties may be assessed depending on the delinquency of the request. Discharge of stormwater from
your facility without coverage under a valid stormwater NPDES permit would constitute a violation of NCGS
143-215.1 and could result in assessments of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day.
If you have any questions regarding the permit renewal procedures please contact Aisha Lau of the Stormwater
and General Permits Unit at [phone], ext. 578.
Sincerely,
Bradley Bennett, Supervisor
Stormwater and General Permits Unit
