Subject: secondary containment foothills bioenergies
Jean,
Talked to Bethany about secondary containment requirements. Do you know if Foothills' tanks (the ones without
secondary containment) were double -walled tanks? We would not require secondary containment for double -walled
tanks. If they are single -walled, then secondary containment will be required.
I'd also be interested to know if, since they are operating at only about 10% right now, does that mean their tanks are
not very full? That would pose less of a spill risk, and perhaps would allow them some additional leeway/time in finding
a solution to that problem.

Subject: Facility needs NPDE5 permit
Categories:

Hi Jean and Melissa,
There is a facility in Lenoir that I think might need to apply for an NCG06 permit. Around 2006(?), Foothills BioEnergies
took over the physical facility of Neptune, a chemical manufacturer who had been covered under NC5000066. We are in
the process of rescinding that permit.
Far as I can tell, Foothills never applied for an industrial stormwater permit. Foothills produces biodiesel fuel from local
feedstocks so probably should be covered by NCG06. Next time you're in the area, would you take a look at their facility
and notify them if they need to apply for a permit?
Thanks! Let me know if you have any questions.

RE: NCG06 General Stormwater Permit
Randy,
I spoke with Julie Ventaloro with the NPDES permitting unit in Raleigh. She said to go ahead with the NOI for the NCG06
permit application.
As far as the issue of secondary containment, it would be good if you would find out whether the tanks in question are
double -walled or not.
Since bulk storage is defined as: "Liquid Products Liquid raw materials, manufactured products, waste materials or by-
products with a single above ground storage container having a capacity of greater than 660 gallons or with multiple
above ground storage containers located in close proximity to each other having a total combined storage capacity of
greater than 1,320 gallons" they would fall under the secondary containment requirements.
The fact that your facility is now operating at 10%, the question was posed as to how much liquid is being stored in the
tanks at the present time. if the tanks are holding less than 660 gallons or 1320 combined, containment may not be
required immediately and a solution could be sought before you build back up to full production.
Feel free to contact me to discuss any questions or concerns you may have.
Also, I have relayed your report of a possible fuel discharge to the Division of Water Resources. It turns out that there is
a permitted dredge operation that has had a previous spill a few years back. They are planning to investigate this week.
Thank You again for taking the time from you day to allow me to visit you facility.

D1vQ's ROS letter remains In effect through subsequent reissuance of this permit and as tong as the
4ns or duration-
•1 Frea! coliform sampling applicable only to faculties disrRvpotg to f►rs/n rtrrn that process meats.

ror caco pn-sne ram gauge
.11., rain gauge reading must be recorded. Where isolated sites are unmanned fur extended periuds of
time, a local rain gauge reading may be suhstitvted for an on -site reading.
The permit does not distinguish between facilities that process meat product for human food,
and facilities that process any type of animal tissue that is not destined for human consumption.
In the industry, the second category does not manufacture a "meat food product." The
requirement has been in the general permit for years, but monitoring applicability in footnote 4
still confuses both permittees and NC DENR staff. The source of confusion comes from what
terms like "meat" and "meat products" mean in the context of federal statutes like the Meat
Inspection Act and Poultry Inspection Act, as well as USDA regulations in 9 CFR Parts 300-500.
For example, rendering plants that accept animal carcasses and by-products not intended for
human consumption contend they do not "process meats" because they do not make a "meat
product" [defined in 9 CFR Part 301.2 as "Any article capable of use as human food which is
made wholly or in part from any meat or other portion of the carcass of any cattle, sheep,
swine, or goats, except those exempted from definition as a meat food product....''].

Guidance for NCG060000 Fecal/Enterococci Monitoring
and BMP Assessment Report Requirement
NC DEMLR Stormwater Permitting Program
December 4, 2013
However, these regulations do not include poultryfor human consumption in the definition of
"meat" or "meat products," either —those are defined elsewhere with terms like "carcass" and
qualified by whether the slaughtered poultry is "capable of use as human food." The
Stormwater Permitting Program interprets the fecal or enterococci monitoring requirement to
apply to plants manufacturing chicken products for human food as well. In short, the
bacteriological monitoring requirement applies to a part of this industrial sector that is
broader than the specific definitions of "meat" and "meat products" established by USDA
regulations imply. With this guidance, our program is clarifying the applicability of the
monitoring requirement.
A: The NC DENR Stormwater Permitting Program considers facilities that process carcasses
(including all parts of slaughtered poultry) or other cuts of meat into a final product capable of
use as human food as facilities that "process meats." Facilities that only process whole or parts
of animal carcasses considered "by-products" (not for human consumption) or animal fats/oils
are not subject to this monitoring. However, these facilities are subject to the BMP Assessment
Report requirements in Part II, Section E of the General Permit.
2. What facilities are required to do the BMP Assessment Report in Part II, Section E? Does it
apply to facilities already monitoring fecal coliform?
The permit specifies that facilities that use or process animal fats / byproducts must
"complete and submit an assessment of best management practices associated with off-
loading, handling and spill prevention of rendered fats and oils that are stored and used at the
facility," within 12 months of the issuance of coverage under the General Permit. For
permittees with renewed coverage in 2012, that deadline was December 1, 2013.
A: If the facility uses or processes animal fats or by-products, it must complete a BMP
Assessment Report and submit the report to NC DENR/DEMI_R. A facility may use or process
fats/by-products, and also be considered a facility that "processes meats." We realize those
facilities are already monitoring fecal coliform or enterococci concentrations, and are subject to
the benchmarks and Tier Response responsibilities in the General Permit (which include BMP
review and assessment). The BMP Assessment Report may voluntarily include a summary of
those data and tiered response actions to date.

All NPDES permittees must pay an Annual Compliance Monitoring Fee. This requirement is documented -in
your current permit in Part V ('-or, in the case of Mining Activities, Part VI). As of the date of this letter,
fees for your facility have not been paid. The total amount presently owed is $1,720.00. Please return
your payment to the address listed below by September 16, 2010.
In addition, please be advised that failure to pay the annual fee is grounds for revocation of your permit, as
documented at 15A NCAC 2H.0105 (b)(4). This letter serves as notice that the Division will refer
uncollected fees to the North Carolina Attorney General's Office for collection through the courts unless
payment in the amount of 51,720.00 is received by September 16, 2010. Further enforcement action
[ including the revocation of the permit, imposition of civil penalties, and notification of the county health
department] may also occur if the fees remain unpaid.
Make checks payable to NC DENR, include the permit number on. the check, and send the fee payment to:

Additionally, the Division has audited its files regarding industrial stormwater operations and general
permits covering activities like those undertaken at your facility. During our file review it was
determined that DWQ has no record of a current valid permit for the discharge of stormwater from your
company's facility in Lenoir. This system was previously covered by Certificate of Coverage (CoC)
NCS000066. NCS000066 expired on August 31, 2006,
Discharge of stormwater without a permit from the Division constitutes a violation of North Carolina
General Statute (NCGS) § 143-215.1 [ Control of sources of water pollution; permits required].
The enforcement options available to the Division for violations of § 143-215.1 are found at NCGS 143-
215.6 A, E, and C, and include civil penalties, criminal penalties, and / or injunctive relief. The civil
penalties for violations such as these may be as high as $25,000.00 per day per violation.

Dear Permittee:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under NPDES Permit NCS000066. This
permit expired on August 31, 2006. To assure consideration for continued coverage under your
individual permit, you must apply to the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) for renewal of your permit.
Enclosed you will find an individual permit Renewal Application Form, Supplemental Information
request, and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Certification for your facility.
Filing the application form along with the requested supplemental information will constitute your
application for renewal of this permit. Until your permit renewal is completed and you receive a new
permit, please continue to comply with all conditions and monitoring requirements in your expired
NPDES stormwater permit.
The application and supplement must be completed and returned to DWQ by December 31, 2009.
Failure to request renewal within this time period will result in delay of your permit renewal and may
result in a civil assessment. 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 $25,000 per day.
If you have any questions regarding permit renewal procedures please contact Brian Lowther of the

Roger,
I was checking in BIMS for expired individual stormwater permits that we are not working on renewing or know the
status of. Do you or anyone in your office know anything about NCS000066 Neptune Inc. The permit expired 8/31/06
and there was an ownership change on 4/2/04. The fees for the site are overdue for 2008 and 2009. Please let me
know if you have any information on this site.
