Mineral and Land Resources ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY November 1, 2016 Mr. Todd Walton N.C. State Ports Authority P.O. Box 9002 Wilmington, North Carolina 28402 PAT MCCRORY Governat DONALD R. VAN DER VAART Sev erarz TRACY DAVIS Dh error Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit Permit No. NCS000173 Morehead City Terminal Carteret County Dear Mr. Walton: Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. Please review the draft very carefully to ensure a thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains. The draft permit contains these significant changes from the facility's current permit: l . Benchmarks have been revised or added for the following parameters: Non -polar Oil and Grease (Method 1664 HGT-HEM). Stormwater benchmarks are not permit limits but are guidelines for implementing the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). A benchmark exceedance is NOT a permit violation; however, the permittee roust respond to exceedances as directed in the Tiers. 2. Monitoring for areas with vehicle maintenance activities (VMA) in Part 11, Section D no longer includes pH. However, if such areas are subject to the standard monitoring in Section B because other industrial activities are present, then pH is still monitored. VMA O&G monitoring also specifies EPA Method 1664 HGT-HEM for (Non -polar Oil and Grease). 3. You are required to collect analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during a "measureable storm event" as defined in Part I1, Section B. This term is different from the "representative storm event" in earlier permits. 4. Requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been updated in Part H, Section A. 5. The draft permit no longer specifies the SDOs that have representative outfall status (ROS) but instead contains standard general language about ROS in footnote 3 of Table 1 (Part 11). Currently the Port samples discharges at the following outfall or drop inlet locations: 301, 402, 506A1, 506B1, 510, 903, and 907. The Wilmington Regional Office has recommended that these outfalls continue to have Representative Outfall Status (ROS). ROS will be documented in the final issuance letter of this individual permit for the Port's records. 6. A Special Condition has been added to the permit (Part H, Section E) that requires the pei ittee to begin reporting monitoring data electronically effective December 21, 2016, or when our agency's eDMR system is ready to accept NPDES Stormwater Permit DMR data. This is a federal requirement that was finalized October 22, 201 S in 40 CFR 12726(h). Our Program continues to work with the Division of Water Resources on modifying eDMR to accept stormwater permit data; the system is not yet ready for our permittees. Because this permit is scheduled to become effective after the December deadline, the draft language will likely be revised prior to final issuance. State of Nmrh Camlina !

The SPPP shall be maintained on site unless exempted from this requirement by the Division. The SPPP is public information in accordance with Part I11, Standard Conditions, Section E, paragraph 3 of this permit. The SPPP shall include, at a minimum, the following items: 1. Site Overview. The Site Overview shall provide a and the potential pollutant sources that may bep contamination of stormwater discharges. The Sit( (a) A general location map (USGS quadrangl map), showing the facility's location in ref waters; the name of the receiving wate discharge, or if the discharge is t whether any receiving wat waters) or if the site is locz established, and what the on of the physical facility contribute to contain the following: ,appropriately drafted equivalent transportation routes and surface the stormwater outfalls o meters of concern are. (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. A narrative description of the potential pollutants that could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall. (c) A site map drawn at a scale sufficient to clearly depict: the site property boundary; the stormwater discharge outfalls; all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands; industrial activity areas (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads); site topography and finished grade; all drainage features and structures; drainage area boundaries and total contributing area for each outfall; direction of flow in each drainage area; industrial activities occurring in each drainage area; buildings; stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs); and impervious surfaces. The site map must indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious, and the site map must include a graphic scale indication and north arrow. (d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants during the previous three (3) years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts. Part 11 Page 1 of 15 Permit No. NCS000173 (e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. The permittee shall re -certify annually 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 111, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3. 2. Stormwater Management Strategy. The Stormwater Management Strategy shall contain a narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or minimize the stormwater exposure of significant materials, including structural and nonstructural measures. The Stormwater Management Strategy, at a minimum, shall incorporate the following: (a) Feasibility Study. A review of the technical and economic feasibility of changing c \ 4/ the methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure of materials and processes to rainfall and run n- owherever practical, the permittee shall prevent exposure of all storage areas material handling operations, -N and manufacturing or fueling operations. Ww.eas where elimination of exposure is not practical, this review shall document.the failiihty of diverting the stormwater Z. -:g-.\ v run-on away from areas of potential confanination. (b) Secondary Containment Requi4Lnts an"d Records. Secondary containment is required for: bulk storage of lid idmaterials; storage in any amount of Section 313 of Title 111 of the Superfund)Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water -vinft, . 'IkkIl priority chemicals: and st6mZeJn anyamounj of hazardous substances in order to y V�. prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. A table or summary of all such tanks andltored materials and their associated secondary containment areas shall be maintai°ned.Arthe secondary containment devices are connected to stormwater conveyance -systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices (which shall be secured closed with a locking mechanism). 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 any material. 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 (5) years. For facilities subject to a federal oil Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC), any portion of the SPCC Plan fully compliant with the requirements of this permit may be used to demonstrate compliance with this permit. The Division may allow exceptions to secondary containment requirements for mobile refuelers, as with the exemption provided by amendments to federal SPCC regulations, as long as appropriate spill containment and/or diversionary structures or equipment is used to prevent discharge to surface waters. Exceptions do not apply to refuelers or other mobile tankage used primarily as bulk liquid material storage in a fixed location in place of stationary containers. (c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management Practices (BMPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs Part 11 Page 2 of 15 Permit No. NCS000173 shall be based on the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and on data collected through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually. 3. Spill Prevention and Response Procedures. The Spill Prevention and Response Procedures (SPRP) shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials inventory of the facility. Facility personnel responsible for implementing the SPRP shall be identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and dated by each individual acknowledging their responsibilities for the plan. A responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility operations that have increased potential to contaminate stormwater runoff thn ugh spills or exposure of Al materials associated with the facility operations.AThe SSPRP must be site stormwater r X :.: � /T specific. Therefore, an oil Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure plan (SPCC) 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 G maintenance and good housekeepi The program shall address 1l stoririwatei- corftrol systems (if applicable), stormwater discharge outfalls, all on-siteand adja ent surface waters and wetlands, industrial activity areas (including mateial`s .orage areas, material handling areas, disposal areas, process areas, loading andlnloadli�kareas, and haul roads), all drainage features and structures, and existingfstructuraf BMPs. The program shall establish schedules of isekeeping activities of stormwater control systems, ty areas, and facility systems that present a potential inspections, maintenan as well as facility equip ng Program. A preventative be developed and implemented. for stormwater exposure or stormwater pollution where not already addressed under another element of the SPPP. Inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program. Timely compliance with the established schedules for inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping shall be recorded and maintained in the SPPP. 5. Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur as part of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a minimum on a semi-annual schedule, once during the first half of the year Qanuary to June), and once during the second half (July to December), with at least 60 days separating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently than semi-annually). These facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring at the outfalls required in Part lI B, C, and D of this permit. 6. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill response and cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. The facility Part II Page 3 of 15 Permit No. NCS000173 personnel responsible for implementing the training shall be identified, and their annual training shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained. 7. Responsible Party. The SPPP shall identify a specific position or positions responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision of the SPPP. Responsibilities for all components of the SPPP shall be documented and position assignments provided. 8. SPPP Amendment and Annual Update. The permittee shall amend the SPPP whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, site drainage, maintenance, or configuration of the physical features which may have a significant effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of the SPPP shall be reviewed and updated on an annual asis. The annual update shall include: (a) an updated list of significant spills Orv;ib rks of poiluitants for the previous three .� (3) years, or the notation that no spisaiave occurred (element of the Site Overview); (b) a written re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for rr rr �I the presence of non-stormwater d&chs (element of the Site Overview); (c) a documented re-evaluation ofttie effectiveness of the on -site stormwater ( :.­ BMPs (BMP Summery element f the Stormwater Management Strategy). (d) a review and comparison ofsample analytical data to benchmark values (if applicable) over th&past.year, including a discussion about Tiered Response status. The pe7 ttee shall use the Division's Annual Summary Data II Y Monitoring Report (DMR) form, available from the Stormwater Permitting Program's we6te.(See'Monitoring Forms' here: mineral-land-permitsIstormwater- permits fnpdes-industrial-sw]. The Director may notify the permittee when the SPPP 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 SPPP to meet minimum requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with Part 111, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3) to the Director that the changes have been made. 9. SPPP Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and all appropriate BMPs consistent with the provisions of this permit, in order to control contaminants entering surface waters via Stormwater. Implementation of the SPPP shall include documentation of all monitoring, measurements, inspections, maintenance activities, and training provided to employees, including the log of the sampling data and of actions taken to implement BM Ps associated with the industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance activities. Such documentation shall be kept on -site for a period of five (S) years and made available to the Director or the Director's authorized representative immediately upon request Part II Page 4 of 1S Permit No. NCS000173 SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1. All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must be sampled (See Definitions). A measurable storm event is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the permitted site outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours prior. The 72-hour storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a shorter interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and the permittee obtains approval from the local DEMLR Regional Engineer.

If the facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or Three response actions under the previous permit, the facility shall continue a monthly monitoring and reporting schedule in Tier Two or Tier Three status until relieved by the provisions of this permit or the Division. 2 Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. When physical separation between outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, sampling shall begin within the first 30 minutes, and shall continue until completed. 3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless otherwise specified or representative outfall status (110S) has been granted. A copy of the Division's letter granting ROS shall be kept on site. 4 The permittee shall sample total phosphorus at Stormwater Discharge Outfalls 803 and 506A1 only. 5 For each sampled measureable storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge is required. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain gauge reading may be substituted for an on -site reading. 6 The permittee shall document tidal influences at the time of the sample to record whether samples were taken at high or low tide conditions (or a more average condition in between). Part Il Page 5 of 15 Permit No. NCS000173 The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified below in Table 2, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection (see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Sampling is not required outside of the facility's normal operating hours. A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2 sample dates, unless monthly monitoring has been instituted under a "Tier Two" response. Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and recorded on the DMR The permittee must report the results from each sample taken within the monitoring period (see Part 111, Section E). However, for purposes of benchmark comparison and Tiered response actions, the permittee shall use the analytical results from the first sample with valid results within the monitoring period.

The permittee must submit an application for renewal of coverage before the submittal deadline (1 B0 days before expiration) to be considered for renewed coverage under the permit The permittee must continue analytical monitoring throughout the permit renewal process, even if a renewal permit is not issued until after expiration of this permit- 2 If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating "No Flow" or "No Discharge" within 30 days of the end of the sampling period. Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period. "No discharge" from an outfall during a monitoring period does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is properly recorded and reported. The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3. 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. See below the descriptions of Tier One, Tier Two, and Tier Three response actions below. In the event that the Division releases the permittee from continued monthly monitoring and reporting under Tier Two or Tier Three, the Division's release letter may remain in effect through subsequent reissuance of this permit, unless the release letter provides for other conditions or duration.

Part H Page 8 of 15 Permit No. NCS000173 This site discharges near, but not directly into, impaired waters experiencing problems with fecal coliform. If a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is approved for this segment of the Newport River or the Harbor Channel, the permittee may be required to monitor for the pollutant(s) of concern in the future and submit results to the Division. The Division will consider the monitoring results in determining whether additional BMPs are needed to control the pollutant(s) of concern to the maximum extent practicable. If additional BMPs are needed to achieve the required level of control, the permittee will be required to (1) develop a strategy for implementing appropriate BM Ps, and (2) submit a timetable for incorporation of those BMPs into the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQ The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to evaluate,t1ie effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and identify new,potential sources of Stormwater pollution. Qualitative monitoring of stormwatenoutfal ust be performed during a measurable storm event Qualitative monitoring requires a visual tinspe ,, iron of each stormwater outfall regardless of representative outfall status. Qualitative monito it ng shall be performed semi-annually as Wo -A, � . specified in Table 4, and duringrequiredanalytical monitoring events (unless the permittee is required to perform further qua�tiv monitoring per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below). Inability, -to monibecause of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP anf'recorddd on the Qualitative Monitoring Report form (see Adverse Weather in Definitions)._...riI SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must be monif red (See Definitions). In the event an atypical condition is noted at a stormwater discharge outfall, the permittee shall document the suspected cause of the condition and any actions taken in response to the discovery. This documentation will be maintained with the SPPP. PartII Page 9 of 1S Permit No. NCS000173 Table 4.

When physical separation between outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, sampling shall be begun within the first 30 minutes, and shall continue until completed. 3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (00) that discharges stormwater runoff from area(s) where vehicle maintenance activities occur, unless representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the letter granting RQS shall be kept on site. 4 For each sampled measureable storm event the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge is required. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain gauge may be substituted for an on -site reading. Part 11 Page 11 of 15 Permit No. NCSOOo173 Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period, as provided in Part 11 Section B. Monitoring results shall be compared to the benchmark values in Table 6. The benchmark values in Table 6 are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for the permittee's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP).

There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary control facilities, retention of stormwater, or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime or dry weather. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup controls should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and Part III Page 5 of 9 Permit No. NCS000173 c. The permittee submitted notices as required under, Part II[, Section E of this permit If the Director determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above, the Director may approve an anticipated bypass after considering its adverse effects. SECTION D: MONITORING AND RECORDS Representative Sampling Samples collected and measurements taken, as required herein, shall be characteristic of the volume and nature of the permitted discharge. Analytical sampling shall be performed during a measureable storm event. Samples shall be taken on a day and time that is characteristic of the discharge. All samples shall be taken before the discharge joins or is diluted by any other waste stream, body of water, or substance. Monitoring points as specified in this permit shall not be changed without notification to and approval of the Permit Issuing Authority [40 CER 122.410)]. 2.

A narrative description of the potential pollutants that could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall. (c) A site map drawn at a scale sufficient to clearly depict: the site property boundary; the stormwater discharge outfalls; all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands; industrial activity areas (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads); site topography and finished grade; all drainage features and structures; drainage area boundaries and total contributing area for each outfall; direction of flow in each drainage area; industrial activities occurring in each drainage area; buildings; stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs); and impervious surfaces. The site map must indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious, and the site map must include a graphic scale indication and north arrow. (d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants during the previous three (3) years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts. Part 11 Page 1 of 15 Permit No. NCS000173 (e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. The permittee shall re -certify annually 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 Strategy. The Stormwater Management Strategy shall contain a narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or minimize the stormwater exposure of significant materials, including structural and nonstructural measures. The Stormwater Management Strategy, 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 too eliminate or reduce exposure of materials and processes to rainfall and run-on; s. Wherever practical, the permittee shall prevent exposure of all stoftetreas, mate ial handling operations, and manufacturing or fueling operations. In�`-areas where elimination of exposure is �V­ not practical, this review shall documentfthe feasiyb�ility of diverting the stormwater run-on away from areas of potential contamination. (b) Secondary Containment Requiremeiitss aiid Records. Secondary containment is required for: bulk storage of liquid materials: storage in any amount of Section 313 ., of Title Ill of the Superfunid-;Arn dments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water "twiv priority chemicals: and storage -in any amount of hazardous substancesin order to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. A table or summary of all such tanks and(tored materials and their associated secondary containment areas shall be maintained.Af'the secondary containment devices are connected to stormwater conveyance -systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices (which shall be secured closed with a locking mechanism). 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 any material. 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 (5) years. For facilities subject to a federal oil Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC), any portion of the SPCC Plan fully compliant with the requirements of this permit may be used to demonstrate compliance with this permit. The Division may allow exceptions to secondary containment requirements for mobile refuelers, as with the exemption provided by amendments to federal SPCC regulations, as long as appropriate spill containment and/or diversionary structures or equipment is used to prevent discharge to surface waters. Exceptions do not apply to refuelers or other mobile tankage used primarily as bulk liquid material storage in a fixed location in place of stationary containers. (c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management Practices (BMPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs Part II Page 2 of 15 Permit No. NCS000173 shall be based on the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and on data collected through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually. 3. Spill Prevention and Response Procedures. The Spill Prevention and Response Procedures (SPRP) shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials inventory of the facility. Facility personnel responsible for implementing the SPRP shall be identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and dated by each individual acknowledging their responsibilities for the plan. A responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility operations that have increased potential to contaminate stormwater runoffJC-6untermeasure thrdugh spills or exposure of materials associated with the facility operations.hTPRP must be site stormwater specific. Therefore, an oil Spill Prevention ContTo plan (SPCC) /1 \_ ., - may be a component of the SPRP, but may not b&sufficientao completely address the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The commo"_R _nts of the SPCC with the SPRP may be incorporated by reference into the SPRP. 4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance and good housekeeping programZhall be developed and implemented. The program shall address ll,stor�wate�c6ntrol systems (if applicable), stormwater discharge outfalls, all on -sit` and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial activity areas (including matehil,storage areas, material handling areas, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads), all drainage features and structures, and existingstructura�BMPs. The program shall establish schedules of inspections, maintenanceand-housekeeping activities of stormwater control systems, as well as facility equipment, facility areas, and facility systems that present a potential for stormwater exposure or stormwater pollution where not already addressed under another element of the SPPP. Inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program. Timely compliance with the established schedules for inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping shall be recorded and maintained in the SPPP. S. Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur as part of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a minimum on a semi-annual schedule, once during the first half of the year (January to June), and once during the second half (July to December), with at least 60 days separating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently than semi-annually). These facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring at the outfalls required in Part 11 B, C, and D of this permit. 6. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill response and cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. The facility Part II Page 3 of 15 Permit No. NCS000173 personnel responsible for implementing the training shall be identified, and their annual training shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained. 7. Responsible Party. The SPPP shall identify a specific position or positions responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision of the SPPP. Responsibilities for all components of the SPPP shall be documented and position assignments provided. B. SPPP Amendment and Annual Update. The permittee shall amend the SPPP whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, site drainage, maintenance, or configuration of the physical features which may have a significant effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of the SPPP shall be reviewed and updated on an annuall,basis. The annual update shall include: 1�, "- (a) an updated list ofsignificant spills orlMaks of pnllutgnts for the previous three (3) years, or the notation that no spills" aye occurred (element of the Site Overview); (b) a written re -certification that�tb star ater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges (element of the Site Overview); (c) a documented re-evaluation of the e17 ffectiveness of the on -site stormwater BMPs (BMP Summary eler lent foie Stormwater Management Strategy). (d) a review and comparison (sample analytical data to benchmark values (if applicable) over he a yeed including a discussion about Tiered Response status. The permittee shall use the Division's Annual Summary Data Monitoring Report (DMR) form, available from the Stormwater Permitting Program's ebsite Seee'Monitoring Forms' here: mineral-land12ermits stormwater-permitsInpdes-industrial-sw}. The Director may notify the permittee when the SPPP 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 SPPP to meet minimum requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with Part HI, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3) to the Director that the changes have been made. 9. SPPP Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and all appropriate BMPs consistent with the provisions of this permit, in order to control contaminants entering surface waters via stormwater. Implementation of the SPPP shall include documentation of all monitoring, measurements, inspections, maintenance activities, and training provided to employees, including the log of the sampling data and of actions 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 (5) years and made available to the Director or the Director's authorized representative immediately upon request. Part I Page 4 of 15 Permit No. NCS000173 SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1. All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must be sampled (See Definitions). A measurable storm event is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the permitted site outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours prior. The 72-hour storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a shorter interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and the permittee obtains approval from the local DEMLR Regional Engineer.

When physical separation between outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, sampling shall begin within the first 30 minutes, and shall continue until completed. 3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at stormwater discharge outfalls (SDOs) 302, 402, 506A1, 506B1, 510, 803, and 907 unless otherwise specified (e.g., TP monitoring). if there are any changes to the representative outfall status (ROS) of these locations, a copy of the Division's letter granting or modifying ROS shall be kept on site. 4 For each sampled measureable storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge is required. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain gauge reading may be substituted for an on -site reading. The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified below in Table 2, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection (see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Sampling is not required outside of the facility's normal operating hours. A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2 Part it Page 5 of 15 Permit No. NCS000173 sample dates, unless monthly monitoring has been instituted under a "Tier Two' response. Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and recorded on the DMR. The permittee must report the results from each sample taken within the monitoring period (see Part III, Section E). However, for purposes of benchmark comparison and Tiered response actions, the permittee shall use the analytical results from the first sample with valid rgsults within the monitoring period.

Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period. "No discharge" from an outfall during a monitoring period does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is properly recorded and reported. The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3. 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. See below the descriptions of Tier One, Tier Two, and Tier Three response actions below. In the event that the Division releases the permittee from continued monthly monitoring and reporting under Tier Two or Tier Three, the Division's release letter may remain in effect through subsequent reissuance of this permit, unless the release letter provides for other conditions or duration.

If no discharge occurs during -the sampling period, the permittee is required to submit a monthly monitoring report indicating "No Flow" to comply with reporting requirements. 4. Alternatively, in lieu of stepts a�nd:3, the permittee may, after two consecutive exceedances, exercise the option of contacting the DEMIJJWRegional Engineer as provided below in Tier Three. The Regional Engineer may direct the response actions on the part of the permittee as provided in Tier Three, including reduced or additional sampling parameters or frequency. 5. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the SPPP. 6. Continue Tier Two response obligations throughout the permit renewal process. .... ¢: Tier Three if. The valid sampling results required for the permit monitoring periods exceed the benchmark value, or are outside the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at any specific outfall on four occasions, the permittee shall notify the DEMLR Regional Engineer in writing within 30 days of receipt of the fourth anal 'cal results; Then: The Division may but is not limited to: • require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring and reporting frequency for some or all of the parameters herein; • require sampling of additional or substitute parameters; • require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls; • require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures; • require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize impacts on receiving waters; or • require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion; • require the ermittee to continue Tier Three obligations through the permit renewal process. Part 11 Page 8 of IS Permit No. NCS000173 This site discharges near, but not directly into, impaired waters experiencing problems with fecal coliform. If a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is approved for this segment of the Newport River or the Harbor Channel, the permittee may be required to monitor for the pollutant(s) of concern in the future and submit results to the Division. The Division will consider the monitoring results in determining whether additional BMPs are needed to control the pollutant(s) of concern to the maximum extent practicable. If additional BMPs are needed to achieve the required level of control, the permittee will be required to (1) develop a strategy for implementing appropriate BMPs, and (2) submit a timetable for incorporation of those BMPs into the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQ The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to evalualfe�t ! effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and identify ne; otential sources of stormwater pollution. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater utfa Must be performed during a measurable storm event _ Qualitative monitoring requires a visual it spettiod,of each stormwater outfall regardless of � f'7 ' representative outfall status. Qu�alitati: mourto"ring shall be performed semi-annually as specified in Table 4, and during- equired=analytical monitoring events (unless the permittee is required to perform further quali atimref onitoring per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below). Inability4to monibecause of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and -recorded on the Qualitative Monitoring Report form (see Adverse Weather in Definitions).Odly SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must be mai red (See Definitions). In the event an atypical condition is noted at a stormwater discharge outfall, the permittee shall document the suspected cause of the condition and any actions taken in response to the discovery. This documentation will be maintained with the SPPP. Part It Page 9 of 15 Permit No. NCS000173 Table 4. Qualitative Monitoring Requirements Discharge' Chai-acteristics ."

A written record of the permittee's investigation, evaluation, and response actions shall be kept in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. Part II Page 10 of 15 Permit No. NCS000173 - Qualitative Monitoring Response Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluating SPPP effectiveness, identifying new potential sources of stormwater pollution, and prompting the permittee's response to pollution. If the permittee repeatedly fails to respond effectively to correct problems identified by qualitative monitoring, or if the discharge causes or contributes to a water quality standard violation, the Division may but is not limited to: • require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring frequency for some or all parameters (analytical or qualitative) • require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls; • require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures; • require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize impacts on receiving waters; or Irequire the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion. SECTION D: ON -SITE VEHICLE MAINTENANCE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Facilities that have any vehicle maintenance aehv�tt�y ocaurring on -site which uses more IN than 55 gallons of new motor oil per month when —averaged over the calendar year shall perform analytical monitoring as sped fi�dbelow in Table 5. All analytical monitoring shall be performed during`a measureable storm event at all stormwater discharge outfalls (SDOs) that dAshc-harge stormwater runofJ`from vehicle maintenance areas, and in accordance with the scheduleIMMspresented in Table 2 (Section B).

Special Issues: • This area of Newport River is not impaired; however, the section of Bogue Sound contiguous to this receiving waterbody segment is classified SA; HWQ and also impaired. Those shellfshing waters are impaired from fecal contamination (2014 Integrated Report Map Viewer) and mercury (statewide TMDL in place to address that). • Central Office requests guidance from WiRO on whether representative outfall status should be revisited and whether the currently monitored outfalls are appropriate.

Changes at the facility since previous permit: o Owner affiliation and Facility Contact have been changed (updated in BIMS). o Wood products, logs, and woodchips have become the prevalent commodity stored outdoors. Grate inlet protection devices installed to reduce debris in stormwater system. 3. Receiving Waters: This area of Newport River is not impaired; however, the section of Bogue Sound contiguous to this receiving waterbody segment is classified SA; HWQ (more sensitive) high quality waters). Those shellfishing waters are also listed as impaired because of fecal contamination (2014 Integrated Report) and mercury (a statewide TMDL in place to address this parameter). 4. Threatened and Endangered Species: No aquatic species noted in the Port Area, although a reptile (Diamondback Terrapin) with State Status of "special concern" is within this area. The federally endangered Atlantic Sturgeon fish (State Status "special concern") is located within one -mile of the Port area [Natural Heritage Data Explorer map query on July 18, 20163. S. Analytical and%or qualitative monitoring during this past permit cycle: See application for summary. Sample results from two dates (10/2012 and 6/2010) were provided, as well as one additional sample for Outfall 402 (8/2012). Example qualitative monitoring results were included for several other outfalls that have to be observed routinely. o COD and TSS exceedances recorded at outfall 402. TSS was slightly over benchmark (102 mg/1), and COD was 294 mg/I (8/2012). A sample later that same year (10/2012) showed levels well below benchmarks. No information about potential sources or problems was included. Visual monitoring form for 10/2012 observation at 402 notes Tier Two monitoring. o A COD exceedance (143 mg/1) at outfall 506B1 recorded in 6/2010. Visual observation that day only noted "Few organic particles." No other information about potential sources or problems was included. o Total Phosphorus (TP) levels at 803 and 506A1 have been below benchmarks; however, the sample at 803 in 2012 was very close to the benchmark value of 2 mg/1 (1.93 mg/1). Draft permit maintains TP monitoring at both outfalls. Does the WiRO concur or advise differently? o Oil & Grease values were typically <S mg/l; the revised non -polar 0&G (1664 SGT-HEM Method) benchmark of 15 mg/1 should not be a problem. 6. Rationale for monitoring parameters: See above, attached staff report from previous permit cycle, and copy of final issuance letter in 2008. 7. Permit. Facility. and Owner Contacts updates: ® Confirmed contact information with permittee and updated BIMS if necessary. ® Obtained e-mail addresses for permit contact and updated BIMS. 8. Annual Fees: ® Confirmed in BIMS that permittee does not owe fees. State of North Carolina I Environmental Quality I Energy, Mineral and Land Resources 1612 Mail service Center 1 512 N. Salisbury St. I Raleigh, NC 27699 919 707 9200 T .NCS000173 - Staff Report Request 2016 Recommendations: Based on the documents reviewed, the application information submitted on March 26, 2013 is sufficient to issue an Individual NPDES Stormwater Permit. Central Office recommends reissuance of this permit with the same monitoring as the previous cycle, except for the revision of "Oil & Grease" to specifically Non -polar Oil & Grease via the 1664 (SGT-HEM) test method along with the corresponding standard benchmark of 15 mg/1 (change from 0&G 30 mg/1 benchmark in the last permit). The draft permit replaces "Oil and Grease" with Non -polar Oil. & Grease monitoring with Method 1664 (SGT-HEM) for vehicle maintenance areas. This change incorporates consistency with other permits where vehicle maintenance monitoring applies. The draft permit reflects the most recent individual stormwater permit template and boiler plate language, including mandatory electronic reporting requirements.

Box 9002 Wilmington, North Carolina 28401 Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit Permit No. NCS000173 NC Ports Authority - Morehead City Terminal Carteret County Dear Mr. Walton: 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: • Removed monitoring for outfall 103, which is now part of PCS Phosphate's proposed individual NDPES stormwater permit (NCS000520). The renewal permit can only be issued once NCS000520 is finalized. • Expanded pH, Oil and Grease (O&G), and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) monitoring requirement to all representative outfalls in Part II, Sec. B. • Included outfall 911A1 as a representative outfall for vehicle maintenance. (The Port already initiated analytical monitoring at this outfall during last permit term.) Analytical monitoring has changed from annual to semi-annual. 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. Please note that analytical and qualitative monitoring must be performed during a representative storm event. • Added sampling at representative outfalls 402 and 506A1 to capture runoff from asphalt plant operations (asphalt paving mixtures and blocks [SIC 29511 is an industrial activity subject to NPDES stormwater regulations). Note Total Phosphorus UP) monitoring is included at 506A1 because phosphoric acid is used as a neutralization chemical. • Instead of "cut-off concentrations," 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) and document efforts to address stormwater contamination. You should also follow the tiered response actions outlined by the permit (see Part II, Sections B and D). ray North Carolina Division of Water Quality 1617 Mail Service CenterRaleigh, NC 27699-1617 Phone (919) 733-5083 Customer Service Interne: www.nEffM0 W tv.org Location: 512 N.

Todd Walton North Carolina Ports Authority Permit No. NCS000173 April 29, 2008 Page 2 • 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.

This outfall is located 400+ft to the nearest structure to the SE and 500+ft to the nearest structure to the SW. It is also located in an area that is now 6+/- acres of open area. Can this be eliminated as a representative outfall for vehicle maintenance (section D, footnote 3)? • added sampling locations: outfall 402 has been added as a sampling location. This outfall no longer exists. A 177,000ft2 warehouse has been constructed in this area. There is also zero run-off from this building. All stormwater from the roof is directed into an underground infiltration system.

These will be forwarded onto you as soon as they are complete. Also, does spring 08 monitoring still need to be completed per previous permit conditions? Thanks, Todd C.

On the Morehead City Port (NCS000173), I checked the outfalls we have in this draft permit, and most of the ones you mention we already have in there (911 A-1, 402, 803). 1 was a little confused by 903 Al -- that one's actually on the east edge of the port where the MCT wood chips used to be. Maybe you meant 907 Al? (northwest of the asphalt plant). Drop inlet 907 is already included as a representative outfall. Even though that will also capture runoff from the NCSPA Plant Maint. area (or what used to be -- I think maybe they redeveloped some of this area with new buildings, but I can't remember exactly where), it will include any runoff from the asphalt plant that drains this direction instead of towards 506A on the opposite side. Anyway, if you still think we need to modify the outfalls during the notice period, we can probably work with the permittee to do that. Thanks! 3G Linda Willis wrote: Bethany, I conducted the site inspection., but unfortunately have not had time to respond in writing. I don't want to hold up the renewals. You had several questions as I recall regarding PCS and Morehead Sites. I suppose we can forgo the "formal written" Regional comments for the sake of time so that you don't have to miss getting it out for public notice on Wednesday. PCS NCS000520 I applaud you for attempting some benchmarks for TN. I believe TSS should be much lower, given the tidal effects will push this water into Calico Creek which is designated PNA waters, where limits for TSS should be 10 mg/L. I suppose it's impossible to put that figure in as a benchmark given the fact that they will have difficulty keeping TSS below the benchmark of 100-mg/L. Also, regarding TN, we can't get TN limits on Morehead's new BNR ww treatment facility, so I'm not sure how solid our stance may be on the TN benchmark for this general permit, but WiRO is in agreement. I discussed the operations at PCS with Todd Walton (NCPA) contact. He did not think the 40 CFR Part 401 applied to this situation since this facility does not manufacture, nor process the product. They simply store for later transportation. Morehead Port NCS000173: Description of activities on site: the Owens Corning site is now owned by SEM, don't ask me what that stands for. The site contacts told me they were in the process of getting the air permit transferred, as well as their NCG permit for boiler blowdown discharge. They told me the stormwater discharged to the street on the west side of their facility. It looks to me like we should have their stormwater adequately monitored. If their discharge goes towards drop inlet 911 A-1, we have it covered, however if stormwater from the inlet (west of asphalt site) goes ro orall 400 on the West side of the facility, or towards the east to drop drain'- 903 Al, �it isn't being monitored, For safety M t sakes t wi ould-be good Co req e,,E�onitoring at the inlet (near 9,V drop drain) 903 Al to capture site runoff from the asphalt plant. The Morehead City 901 k`Tert�inals�site and that NPDES individual permit assoc. with that site, are both j; gone. The discharge from that facility is now from large piles of gravel which CLGU can contribute TSS if a huge rain hits. The runoff from the gravel pile, when stirred up, almost looks like 1% milk. The runoff would go through the little Jr%o-�` settling basin before discharge, but it likely does not provide adequate Td. I 90,, don't think there is much the port can do tV improve that discharge quality. The runoff would be monitored at outfa11�03. That's it Bethany, I will be in the office on Thursday only_ So issue at will. Linda 1 of 2 4/23/2008 8:33 AM N,C �000173 Of WAT' pG � Y f Michael F. Easley, Governor William G.

One of the tenants, PCS Phosphate, has applied for a separate individual stormwater permit (NCS000520 drafted and sent to WiiRO this month).

Coco liance histog 3 Benchmark exceedance 8 Location DL, T&E species, etc.) 5 Other Challenges: b • PCS Separation • Multiple activities; asphalt plant • Bulk facility expansion on Radio Island - future discharge? Difficulty Rating: 22/40 Special Issues Explanation: • Note - section of Newport River and Bogue Sound contiguous to Restricted Harbor Area are classified SA; HQW. Shellfish waters there impaired from fecal contamination. • Proposed individual stormwater permit for PCS Phosphate, so will no longer be under Port's permit. Going through EIS review process in 2006 for proposed break bulk facility expansion across channel Page 1 of 9 NCS000173 on Radio island. This is the old AFT (aviation fuel terminal) site, and ground remediation was under way. PCS also stores materials at this site (sulfuric and phosphoric acid). At the time there were no apparent point source discharges of stormwater from the property; however, after development, the NCPA planned to have an infrastructure to convey stormwater runoff (has not yet happened). Description of Activities: Multiple activities and transfer of various products occur at this site. At the time of a site visit with the region in early 2006, the Port was a major importer of unprocessed rubber (all stored inside). There were also numerous railcars of borate from mining. The Port also leases to several government and private companies, such as: • Owens Coming operates the Trumbull Asphalt facility (changed name to ?) -L--' � Morehead City Terminals operates a bulk wood chip handling facility N Ow CzOy*,-� Since last renewal, the company had no significant changes in industrial activities but has made improvements by residing several transfer towers to reduce fugitive emissions —potential stormwater contamination. At the Port's urging, PCS Phosphate (bulk handling of fertilizer) will finally be covered under a separate individual stormwater permit (status: drafted and sent to the region for comment). This will result in a change in monitoring for at least one outfall. Documents Reviewed: • Stormwater Permit Files White Oak Basinwide Plan Final 2006 & DRAFT 2008 303(d) Lists; TMDL Documents EPA Sector -Specific Permit, 2000 & Draft 2006 permits • Natural Heritage Program's Federal Threatened and Endangered Species Database Check 40 CFR Subchapter N, Stormwater Effluent Guidelines History: • 1/27/2006: WiRO (L. Willis) performed inspection. See 2006 staff report for NCS000173 renewal permit. After much back and forth about whether PCS Phosphate would apply for a separate permit, the Port's draft renewal permit (retaining the PCS facility) was scheduled for public notice on 1/17/2007. Held it back from notice because PCS Phosphate finally agreed to apply for a separate permit. • 2/5/2007: PCS application for individual NPDES stormwater permit received. Reassigned late 2007; draft and staff report request to WiRO in March 2008. Page 2 of 9 NCS000173 Figure 1: Map of Facility Central Office Review Summary: 1. Owner's Other Permits: t� I 5-i n puf- !�! p • Tenants have other permits: bo3 ,,a Q[2'.r-D�L • Morehead City LLC also has two outfalls covered by NPDES wastewater permit No. NC0077666. That permit allows discharge of treated runoff from bulk storage materials (wood chips, crushed stone, and steel slag) that has been routed through settling basins. • Trumball Asphalt Plant: The property used to belong to Owens Corning but was sold in 1997 to the Port, so now Corning is only a tenant. The old wastewater permit for O/W separator discharge (NC0007749) was rendered inactive after the transfer and was never reissued. The only NPDES wastewater permit Owens Corning continues to renew is NCG500354 (non -contact cooling, boiler blow -down). 2. General Observations: Biggest challenge at this site will be good housekeeping to control contamination from track -out and fugitive dust. 3. Impairment: This area of the Newport River (Restricted Harbor Area surrounding the Port) is not impaired; however, sections of the river contiguous to this area are on the 2006 303(d) List and Draft 2008 List. Those shellfish waters are impaired because of fecal contamination (closed to shellfishing). The White Oak Basinwide Plan cites runoff from urban areas and subdivisions (populations and development have increased significantly in the past five years along this area of the coast, including in Morehead City). While fecal coliform (more recently an enterococcus standard for salt waters applies instead) is certainly a concern for this receiving water, the activities conducted at Port are not generally expected to be a source. The reviewer determined bacteriological monitoring is not appropriate at this time. However, TMDL language in the permit notes the problem. It should be noted that Calico Creek, which flows into the Newport River to the west of the Port, was added to the Draft 2008 303(d) List because of fecal coliform, chlorophyll a, dissolved oxygen (DO), and turbidity Page 3 of 9 NCS000173 A, violations. Major water quality impacts in the creek are from urban nonpoint sources and the Morehead City WWTP, which contributes significant oxygen consuming wastes and nutrients. The creek is not classified SA, but it is permanently closed to shellfish harvesting by DEH. The Basinwide Plan documents pending upgrades to the WWTP, more stringent effluent limits, and recommends a nondischarge alternative. This WWTP point source is "upstream" (though tidal waters are not so well flushed) of the PCS facility at the Port, but it does add to Calico Creek's pollutant loading on the Newport River. These conditions establish a need for the Port and its tenants to reduce potential bacteria, nutrients, and oxygen demand introduced during storm events as much as possible. 4. Threatened and Endangered: None noted. A federal "species of concern" (Southern Hognose Snake) and a state species of "special concern" (Carolina Diamondback Terrapin) in the database for surrounding area. 5. Sto� water Effluent Guidelines: 40 CFR §418.11 stormwater effluent limits apply to asphalt plants facilities; however, this site is a bulk handling operation only. The draft permit proposes benchmarks for pollutants of concern and a tiered set of responses based on exceedances but does not include effluent limits at this time. A case might be made for TP and fluoride limits in the future if there are compliance issues and/or water quality impacts. 6. EPA MultiSector General Permit: EPA's 2000 MSGP requires monitoring for total recoverable aluminum, iron, lead, and zinc. The 2006 Draft MSGP proposes to add TSS, monitoring in addition to these metals. However, the MSGP also includes marinas in the Water Transportation Sector (Marinas are covered by a separate General Permit in North Carolina). TSS will now be monitored at all representative outfalls at the Port, but no metals monitoring is recommended at this time. 7. Location: This site discharges stormwater to the Restricted Morehead City Harbor Area, classified as SC waters. Note that the section of the Newport River contiguous to the restricted harbor area is classified SA; HQW. 8. Industrial Changes Since Previous Permit: PCS Phosphate no longer included — will be permitted separately (proposed NCS000520). Only redevelopment activities —new warehouse added near Berth #9. 9. AndZical Monitoring Notes: See Table 1. Elevated COD levels at all but one outfall. NCPA has been cognizant of high levels and has made improvements to Iower stormwater impacts; for example, the port has covered bulk conveyor -belts; -purchased a new street sweeper, and implemented routine maintenance. During sampling event in 2/2004,,records for outfalls 103'W510 noted' "complefeIy diy" conditio sn and no analytical results were available. The company failed to sample outf�fI 803 for phosphorus during the past permit term, but levels during 1996-99 were between 1-2 mg/l. 10. Qualitative Monitorin Notes: 2000-04 records from Central Files reviewed; very few problems. Noted higher suspended solids at outfall 907 (Wood Chip storage) in only one quarter. (Runoff from chip operations treated prior to discharge, covered under NC0077666).

Data Not Collected Page 6 of 9 NCSOQ0173 �� < Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring: Reviewer recommends expanding pH monitoring (which Port Authority already performs routinely), O&G, and TSS monitoring to all representative outfalls. O&G and TSS are appropriate indicators for stormwater contamination at a large transit facility and inexpensive to monitor, and these parameters are already required for the subset of outfalls with drainage from vehicle maintenance areas. In addition, TSS monitoring at outfalls 402 and 502 (added to capture asphalt plant runoff) is consistent with the NCG 16 general stormwater permit for asphalt operations. Although fecal coliform is a problem in these waters, do not expect port operations to be a significant source. (Would also be difficult to assess contribution with marine birds usually congregating near ports.) Outfall 103 no longer applies to this permit because it is part of PCS Phosphate and TP will be monitored there under NCS000520. Reviewer recommends retaining TP monitoring at outfall 803 but eliminating the requirement for other representative outfalls at the Port because (1) TP levels were low and (2) would not expect phosphorus to be a major pollutant of concern at the other outfalls. Representative Outfalls: Possible representative outfall revisions were considered during initial review (see 2006 staff report request). This draft permit recommends to: • Add sampling at outfall 911A1 to vehicle maintenance monitoring (site already initiated monitoring). • Retain sampling at 506B1 & 911A1 outfalls because COD and/or TSS levels were elevated, and because these oudalls represent vehicle maintenance areas. Because the Port has the ability to sample drop inlets that segregate these areas, there is a benefit to keeping these sample locations. • Add sampling at 402 and 506A1 (just downstream of the O/W separator) to capture asphalt operations. The old wastewater permit for the oil/water separator discharge (NC0007749, previously issued to Owens Corning) is no longer active, and none of the other outfalls captures runoff from asphalt plant operations —an industrial activity subject to NPDES stormwater regulations. Outfall 506A1 will better segregate the asphalt plant activities and eliminate redundancy with 506B1. • Add TP sampling at 506 Al because phosphoric acid is used as a neutralization chemical (potential residue from this discharge exposed to stormwater). • No sampling added for fish meal operation since discharge sheet flows at north of property. Monitoring frequency will increase to semi-annually to ensure at least nine data points are collected through the permit term and to be consistent with qualitative monitoring frequency. Benchmark values and a tiered response approach to exceedences have been added for consistency with all other individual and general permits issued over the past year. Stormwater effluent limits for disrhargesf vnt asphalt paving and roofing emulsions produmon areas: 40 CFR §443 imposes daily maximum and monthly average O&G and TSS Iimits on these discharges. Section 40 CFR §122.44(k)(3) grants N.C. authority to require BMPs in lieu of permit limits (Note NCG16 for asphalt operations has no limits either). However, future reviewers should consider how analytical results over the next cycle compare to those limits and consider whether they are appropriate: TABLE D-1.--SECTOR-SPECIFic NumEmc UWTATIONS AND BENCNMRK MOMTOMS SWXedor (Oisdwarpes may be utied to-qukenvm for more Paramew Benchin s cud- Nsttneric i r<r�Cartiarsz than am secbdsubsector) l I ce %— --.. sector of Permit Requoemerft ASpkk-4 PaviTU and Roafmp Matuials (SiC 2951, 29W) TaW Sarspended Solids 1Dom i- (TW).

Q: The old Aviation Fuel Terminal (AFT) site at Radio Island was undergoing remediation and did not have a point source discharge of stormwater at the time of the inspection in 2006. There were plans for the Port to build a drainage infrastructure; what is the status of this site? a. ANSWER: Just finished up remediation (excavation, etc.) No drainage structures have been built; still no point sources of stormwaterino additional permit requirements. 2. Q: Are there boat washing activities here? a. ANSWER: No, none that NCPA is aware of. 3. Q Has anything changed with Trumbull Asphalt? a. ANSWER: Only that the name has changed (Trumbull went bankrupt). Same operation. 4. Q Any other major changes since early 2006? a. ANSWER: The Port did tear down some buildings near the Trumbull plant and construct a new 180,000 square foot warehouse behind Berth #9. This was part of a State Strormwater redevelopment project that was permitted by DWQ; infiltration basins were constructed around the perimeter of the building.

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 the potential of pollutant sources to contribute Part II Page 2 of 10 Permit No. NCS000173 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, an oil 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 AV SPRP. d'"-`r" 4.

Part Il Page 4 of 10 Permit No. NCS000173 ' ' ' SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1. All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a representative storm event. The required monitoring will result in a minimum of ten analytical samplings being conducted over the term of the permit at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). A representative storm event is a storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall and that is preceded by at least 72 hours in which no. storm event measuring greater than 0.1 inches has occurred. A single storm event may contain up to 10 consecutive hours of no precipitation. For example, if it rains for 2 hours without producing any collectable discharge, and then stops, a sample may be collected if a rain producing �adischarge begins again within the next 10 hours.

Permit Actions The permit may be modifie��vyoked and reissued, or terminated for cause. The notification of planned changes or anticipated noncompliance does not stay any individual permit condition. SECTION C: OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF POLLUTION CONTROLS Proper Operation and Maintenance The permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions of this individual permit. Proper operation and maintenance also includes adequate laboratory controls and appropriate quality assurance procedures. This provision requires the operation of back-up or auxiliary facilities or similar systems which are installed by a perminee only when the operation is necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of this individual permit. 2. Need to Halt or Reduce Not a Defense It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the condition of this individual permit. Bypassing of Stormwater Control Facilities Bypass is prohibited and the Director may take enforcement action against a permittee for bypass unless: Part III Page 4 of 8 Permit No. NCS000173, a. Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property damage; and b. There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary control facilities, retention of stormwater or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime or dry weather. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup controls should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and The permittee submitted notices as required under, Part III, Section E of this permit. If the Director determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above, the Director may approve an anticipated bypass after considering its adverse effects. SECTION D: MONITORING AND RECORDS Representative Sampling Samples collected and measurements taken, as nature of the permitted discharge. Analytical s event.

I don't want to hold up the renewals. You had several questions as I recall regarding PCS and Morehead Sites. I suppose we can forgo the "formal written" Regional comments for the sake of time so that you don't have to miss getting it out for public notice on Wednesday. PCS NCS000520 I applaud you for attempting some benchmarks for TN. I believe TSS should be much lower, given the tidal effects will push this water into Calico Creek which is designated PNA waters, where limits for TSS should be 20 mg/L. I suppose it's impossible to put that figure in as a benchmark given the fact that they will have difficulty keeping TSS below the benchmark of 100 mg/L. Also, regarding TN, we can't get TN limits on Morehead's new BNR ww treatment facility, so I'm not sure how solid our stance may be on the TN benchmark for this general permit, but WiRO is in agreement. I discussed the operations at PCS with Todd Walton (NCPA) contact. He did not think the 40 CFR Part 401 applied to this situation since this facility does not manufacture, nor process the product. They simply store for later transportation. Morehead Port NCS000173: Description of activities on site: the Owens Corning site is now owned by SEM, don't ask me what that stands for. The site contacts told me they were in the process of getting the air permit transferred, as well as their NCG permit for boiler blowdown discharge. They told me the stormwater discharged to the street on the west side of their facility. It looks to me like we should have their stormwater adequately monitored. If their discharge goes towards drop inlet 911 A-1, we have it covered, however if stormwater from the inlet (west of asphalt site) goes to out€all 400 on the West side of the facility, or towards the east to drop drain 903 Al, it isn't being monitored, . For safety sake, it would be good to require monitoring at the inlet (near 402 drop drain) and 903 Al to capture site runoff from the asphalt plant. The Morehead City Terminals site and that NPDES individual permit assoc. with that site, are both gore. The discharge from that facility is now from large piles of gravel which can contribute TSS if a huge rain hits. The runoff from the gravel pile, when stirred up, almost looks like 1% milk. The runoff would go through the little settling basin before discharge, but it likely does not provide adequate Td. I don't think there is much the port can do to improve that discharge quality. The runoff would be monitored at outfall 803. That's it Bethany, I will be in the office on Thursday only. So issue at will. Linda Bethany Georgoulias wrote: Hi Linda, I just wanted to check in on the draft permits/staff report status of these two stormwater permits (renewal for the Port and the new permit for PCS). I have them scheduled to prepare for Public Notice on Wednesday, but if you haven't had a chance to review them and don't feel comfortable sending drafts out to Notice yet, I'll hold them_ It will bump their potential issue date and may mean a revision to the sampling schedule, but I don't want to push them through if you're not ready to give the go-ahead.

The Ports would like to choose option 4 2 for our monitoring schedule as this coincides with our fiscal year. The only outer comment is in reference to facilities that use more than 55 gallons of oil per month and the sampling of the storm drain outfalls in this area. As discussed with you on the phone on January 9, 2008, all of our vehicle maintenance is performed inside our garage area. We do have a wash down area however; this water is directed to an oil/ water separator and then discharges to the POTW. l would also like to confirm that we will continue current monitoring requirements until the Julyl , 2008 — December 31, 2008 monitoring period unless otherwise directed by the Division.

Please be aware that as we review your application we may have other comments and need additional information. Stormwater Permitting Unit Division of Water Quality 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 Must a couple of comments real quickly on this process. First, we will review the PCS permit application in conjunction with modifications that may be necessary to the Port's permit so that the two permits (if found to be appropriate) would come out at the same time and avoid lapses in coverage. Until final determinations are made in the permitting process, coverage will continue under the expired NCS Port permit and all conditions of the permit must continue to be met as currently established. Second, as PCS is currently covered through the Port permit, but moving toward separate coverage we think it is important to avoid any lapses in coverage. This includes coverage under a stormwater pollution prevention plan. PCS will need to have a SWP3 in place at the time (and hopefully prior to) that new permit coverage is in place. If you do not already have a plan in place, you should work on this effort and coordinate with Linda Willis in the Wilmington Regional Office on the process.

Environmental Manager North Carolina State Ports Authority 2202 Burnett Boulevard Wilmington, North Carolina 28401 Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit Permit No. NCS000173 NC Ports Authority - Morehead City Terminal Carteret County Dear Mr. Bedsole: 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: • Expanded pH, Oil and Grease (O&G), and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) monitoring requirement to all representative outfalls in Part 11, Sec. B. • Included outfall 911A1 as a representative outfalI for vehicle maintenance. (The Port already initiated analytical monitoring at this outfall during last permit term.) • Analytical monitoring has changed from annual to semi-annual (once in the spring and once in the 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. Please note that analytical monitoring must still be performed during a representative storm event (whereas qualitative does not). • Added sampling at representative outfalls 402 and 506A1 to capture runoff from asphalt plant operations (asphalt paving mixtures and blocks [SIC 2951] is an industrial activity subject to NPDFS stormwater regulations). Note Total Phosphorus (TP) monitoring is included at 506A1 because phosphoric acid is used as a neutralization chemical. • Instead of "cut-off concentrations," 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 11, 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 percen e of each drainage area that is impervious (see Part H, Sec. A). Carolina aAfra!!y North Carolina Division of Water Quality 1617 Mail Service CenterRaleigh. NC 27699-1617 Phone (919) 733-5083 Customer Service Internet: www rimmterqualitv.org Location: 512 N.

Guess you know that NCPA wanted to have the PCs section of their site permitted over to PCS (lessee). PCS has yet to turn in an NOI. We've been holding off on this permit to await that event. Final conclusion is that if it isn't in by the beginning of next year, we renew the entire site to NC Port Authority with some changes to the old permit. I read the new draft permit and it looks good. I'll let you know if I hear anything out of PCS or the NCPA.

Response Requested by (Date): February 13, 2006 Central Office Staff Contact: Bethany Georgoulias, (919) 733-5083, ext. 529 DOCUMENTS NPDES Stormwater Permit Application Materials S/W Permit File Analytical &Qualitative Monitoring Results summary White Oak Basinwide Plan (rev. November 2001) Central Office Review Summary: Facility discharges stormwater to the Newport River and Bogue Sound, which are on the 303(d) list of impaired waters because of fecal coliform standard violations and consequent shellfish harvesting closures. Much of the Newport River estuary is also conditionally approved -closed or -open. The White Oak Basinwide Plan notes elevated nutrients in the upper Newport River and fecal coliform after rainfall events. Recommendations for addressing impaired shellfish waters focus on stormwater management for growth and development, which has increased surface runoff in this watershed significantly over the years; future urbanization emphasizes the need for adequate stormwater planning even more. The Phase II program is discussed, but Morehead City is not a Phase II community at this time. The December 2004 Compliance Inspection Report from Ed Beck at the WiRO indicated this facility maintains compliance with its Stormwater Management Plan and generally employs good control strategies for its runoff; however, there was room for improvement. The Port leases to several government and private companies: • PCS Phosphate operates bulk handling facility • Owens Corning operates the Trumbull Asphalt facility • Morehead City Terminals operates a bulk wood chip handling facility Since last renewal, the company has had no significant changes in industrial activities but has made improvements by residing several transfer towers to reduce fugitive emissions —potential stormwater contamination. The December 3, 2004 Memo from E. Beck (attached) already recommended renewal of this permit with similar conditions. With this report, the Central Office requests WiRO's concurrence with monitoring revisions reflecting 2005 permit renewal changes. Qualitative Monitoring Remits: 2000-04 records from Central Files reviewed; very few problems. Noted higher suspended solids at outfall 907 (Wood Chip storage) in only one quarter. (Runoff from chip operations treated prior to discharge, covered under NC0077666). Analytical Monitoring: See attached Monitoring Data Analysis (Attachment A). Elevated COD levels at all but one outfall. NCPA has been cognizant of high levels and has made improvements to lower stormwater impacts; for example, the port has covered bulk conveyor belts, purchased a new street sweeper, and implemented routine maintenance (see attached e-mail). Renewal permit will have 120 mg/l benchmark. Reviewer recommends expanding pH monitoring (which Port Authority already performs routinely), O&G, and TSS monitoring to all representative outfalls. O&G and TSS are appropriate indicators for stormwater contamination at a large transit facility and inexpensive to monitor, and these parameters are already required for the subset of outfalls with drainage from vehicle maintenance areas. In addition, TSS monitoring at outfalls 402 and 502 (added to capture asphalt plant runoff is consistent with the NCG16 general stormwater permit for asphalt operations. Although fecal coliform is a problem in these waters, do not expect part operations to be a significant source. (Would also be difficult to assess contribution with marine birds usually congregating near ports.) During sampling event in 2/2004, records for outfalls 103 & 510 noted "completely dry" conditions and no analytical results were available. The company failed to sample outfall 803 for phosphorus during the past permit NCS000173 term, but levels during 1996-99 were between 1-2 mg/1(sm attached e-mail). Reviewer recommends retaining TP monitoring at outfalls 103 and 803 but eliminating the requirement for other outWh because (1) TP levels were low and (2) would not expect phosphorus to be a major pollutant of concern at the other outfalls. Representative Outtalk: Possible representative outfall revisions were considered during review (See 12/22/05 e- mail re: peer review from K. Pickle and correspondence with permittee). Reviewer recommends proposed revisions: • Sampling will remain at 103 instead of 101 even though upstream of phosphate storage domes and phosphoric acid tanks because of tidal influences on the latter drop inlet. • Add sampling at outfall 911A1 to vehicle maintenance monitoring (site already initiated monitoring). • Retain sampling at 506B 1 & 911 A 1 outfalls because COD and/or TSS levels were elevated, and because these outfalls represent vehicle maintenance areas. Because the Port has the ability to sample drop inlets that segregate these areas, there is a benefit to keeping these sample locations. • Add sampling at 402 and 502 to capture asphalt operations. The old wastewater pen -nit for the oil/water separator discharge (NC0007749, previously issued to Owens Corning) is no longer active, and none of the other outfalls captures runoff from asphalt plant operations —an indu trial activi sub eet to NPDES stormwater regulations. Because 502 is downstream of 506B1 and 510 and will introduce some redundancy, and because the NCG 16 general permit for asphalt operations requires only annual TSS sampling, the reviewer recommends annual sampling at these outfalls instead of semi-annual. (However, COD and O&G will also apply because these outfalls drain more than just the asphalt production area; e.g., diesel and used oil storage area in drainage area 400.) • 701 will not be added because stormwater discharges from there should be represented elsewhere (this permit does not authorize or cover wastewater discharges from hopper rinses). • The fumigation plant was demolished years ago, so no reason to replace 803 with 802. • No sampling added for fish meal operation since mostly sheet flow at north of property. Morehead City LLC also has two outfalls covered by NPDES wastewater permit No. NC0077666. That permit allows discharge of treated runoff from bulk storage materials (wood chips, crushed stone, and steel slag) that has been routed through settling basins. See discussion below with Trumball Plant contact re: NPDES permits. 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. The exception in this permit is that outfalls draining runoff from the asphalt plant will be monitored annually (see representative outfall discussion above). 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. Note TSS benchmark based on WQ standards for SA waters in 2B .0200s (HQW applies by definition). Follow-up with the company contact (Layton Bedsole, Jr., 910.790.2332) on 12/8 and 12/29/05. See attached e- mails from 12/16/05 and 1/3/06. Follow-up with Trumball Asphalt plant contact (Billy Parrot, 910.726.4171) on I /4/06: The property used to belong to Owens Corning but was sold in 1997 to the Port, so now Corning is only a tenant. The old wastewater permit for O/W separator discharge (NC0007749) was rendered inactive after the transfer and was never reissued. The only NPDES wastewater permit Owens Coming continues to renew is NCG500354 (non - contact cooling, boiler blow -down). The company doesn't do any sampling for the Port, but it does submit a monthly environmental report to NCPA about what has been released from the storage tank containment area (east part of the property) into the Port's storm drain/oil-grit separator. Most runoff drains to the south and west of the property but hard to tell how much goes where —tidal influences and smaller drainage pipe diameters make it difficult to determine. Recommendation: Based on the documents reviewed, the application information submitted on September 27, 2004 is sufficient to issue an individual Stormwater Permit.

Currently old AFT (aviation fuel terminal) site, and ground remediation is under way. PCS also stores materials at this site (sulfuric and phosphoric acid). No apparent point source discharges of stormwater from the property; however, after development, the NCPA will have an infrastructure to convey stormwater runoff. -Wood chip facility: currently little to no storage of chips in this area at the Port. Wood chips have fallen out of favor as revenue source because most are imported from other countries right now. Area is still used to store some steel, slag, and limestone (not much when we were there, though). -PCS Phosphate — Port favors separating this facility out of their current stormwater permit. Employees on -site are Port employees reimbursed by PCS (and PCS managers on -site to direct daily operations). Already pursuing separated air permit, and the Port Authority included the possibility of NPDES stormwater permit separation in the contract negotiated with the company. -DAP is the dry fertilizer product (by-product is phosphoric acid) stored in the warehouse at the site. Material is routinely tracked out by trucks onto pavement and can run into storm drains. -This port is the number 2 importer of rubber in the nation right now; all unprocessed rubber is stored inside warehouses and cannot get wet (ruins product). -Proposing new warehouse building on the west side of the main building. -Trumbull Asphalt operates under the Port's stormwater permit and would take on any sampling required. Stopped to see O/W separator inlet near outfall 402 (used to be under defunct wastewater permit NC0007749), but Layton was unsure about the other O/W sep. indicated on the site map and referred us to the company. [My discussion with Trumbull 's contact earlier indicated it was the O/W separatorfor the tank containment area —drop inlet 506AM1-4hat they reported monthly to the NCPA about. It was not clear here how many O/W separators there are; however, additional sampling at 402 and 502 should capture discharges. It is also still not clear where non -contact cooling water discharge under NCG500354 flows or is sampled. -Vehicle maintenance area: an O/W separator here discharges to the sanitary sewer. -Lots of borate in rail cars and piles around various areas of the Port (including spillage). Swept/scrapped up and reclaimed spilled borate in some areas; other areas may not be so well maintained. [No benchmark for borate, but COD and TSS should help identify problems. An appropriate benchmark for borate here would be difficult because this compound (and boric acid in aqueous equilibrium) is naturally present in sea water; it also acts as a pH buffer.] ' NCS000173 Addendum to Staff Report (2/22/2006): The SPU has concluded that a lower TSS benchmark for HQW waters is not appropriate for stormwater permits and will remain 100 mg/l, regardless of receiving water classification (value based on a median concentration from the NURP study —National Urban Runoff Program). The 20 mg/l is an effluent limit and is more applicable to a continuous discharge. Per Billy Parrott (252.726.0653) at Trumbull Asphalt, the non -contact cooling water is released to a trench that eventually runs into the O/W separator at the southeast corner of the property (see map). Boiler blow -down is neutralized with phosphoric acid and sampled to verify compliance with NCG50 limits prior to release (i.e., not at the final discharge point). This discharge flows to the .. _�. south of the property and possibly west at times.

Note - the O/W separator indicated on the Port's original reap at the western side of the property does not exist (see attached e-mail and annotated map for other details). Regarding EPA Multi -Sector Permit limits for discharges from asphalt paving and roofing emulsionsproduction areas (also in 40 CFR 443): while O&G and TSS have dailymax and monthly average limits, 40 CFR 122.44(k)(3) grants NC authority to require BMPs in lieu of permit limits (Note NCG 16 for asphalt operations has no limits either); however, future reviewers should consider how analytical results over the next cycle compare to those limit values. INDUSTRIAL STORMWATER SUMMARY OF FINDINGS REPORT CS n 3 Date of Inspection: January 27, 2006 ?,Dp.-A7 -'q ADEQUACY OF SWPPP: The SWP3 was reviewed on March 22, 2006. The plan had updated revisions documented for changes to the Best Management Practices at the Port for the year 2005. An inspection of the berths, container storage areas, vehicle maintenance areas, bulk conveyance, and bulk storage areas were conducted. The results of the Analytical Monitoring (as required by the stormwater permit) accompanied the permit renewal application. A summary sheet was also included with the permit renewal package for the Qualitative Monitoring Requirements. The plan should be amended to include improvements to BMP's that will resolve the issues of high COD at several outfalls (103, 302, and 803). VEHICLE/EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE AREA: One small maintenance building is located on site. There appeared to be no oily residue in the vicinity of the building. Waste oil had secondary containment. TEMPORARY STORAGE OF WASTE MATERIALS: No waste materials were seen stored outdoors. Waste oil in vehicle maintenance area had secondary containment. OUTDOOR STORAGE OF MATERIALS: No bulk materials were staged outside at the time of the inspection. Aluminum ore was stored in rail car on the rail track. The rail track requires more housekeeping. Fertilizer was stored inside a large storage building. The storage building protects the material from storm water with the exception of the material that get conveyed off site by truck tire. SPILL RESPONSE AND CLEANUP PROGRAM: The stormwater pollution prevention plan incorporates adequate spill response and clean up practices to be implemented in the case of a spill. EROSION CONTROL ON SITE: The site is primarily paved on the majority of the exposed surfaces. The west shore of the property on Calico Creek is exhibiting heavy erosion from wind and wave action. Hurricane season exacerbates the degradation. The Port Authority intends to improve the bank area. ILLICIT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION: None detected. WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITIES: The Morehead City Terminal site will/is being vacated. Morehead City Terminal will/has requestfed their NPDES WW permit to be rescinded. The Regional Office is in support of this request. The outfall from this facility is covered under the stormwater permit NCS000173. STREAM IMPACTS/RESULTS OF SAMPLING: The fourth year 1 4 quarter results at outfalls 103, 302, and 803 had extremely high levels of COD (1460, 1534, 1306 rnT/L respectively). The fourth year 2"d quarter results at the same outfalls were not as high but still problematic. The 3 quarter results were 1566, 944, and 452 mglt_ (103,302 and 803 respectively) and 0 quarter at 803 was 530 mg/L, (the rest of the outfall data was not available when the results were provided with the permit renewal application to the Division). Taking the flow into account, more than 26,000 Ibs of COD was introduced to the receiving waters via those 3 outfalls during one storm event in the 4 h year of the permit cycle according to the quantitative data provided. Although COD was high, TSS was not near as problematic, however TSS is not required at outfalls 103 and 302. Solutions that can be implemented in the SWPPP to reduce the concentration of COD at the outfalls mentioned above should continue to be sought. SUM MARYIRECOM M EN DATIONS: The high pressure washing of the bulk material hopper used to receive and then deliver bulk free product to the transport trucks is of some concern. The wash water from that operation would drain directly to the receiving waters. The washing operation utilizes a high pressure washer to reduce the amount of water use during the washing process and reduce the amount of time needed to wash the hopper. The SWPPP audit identified utilizing catch basins to be built to capture the wash water. This was one of the few suggestions not acted upon by the Port Authority. This Port is handling more bulk business that inherently increases the exposure of the imported/exportedlstored materials to the environment. The Port Authority should amend their BMP's to eliminate storm water exposure in the areas of bulk material handling/offloadinglstoragetconveyance. The facility is determined to be compliant with the requirements of the stormwater permit NCS000173. Wilmington Region Recommendations: The Wilmington Regional Office has no objection to renewing the Stormwater Permit NPDES NCS000173. Consider ways-Ab resolve the high COD problems seen at outfalls 103,302 and 803. Maintain the previous permit monitoring requirements and please consider including TS5 analysis at outfalls 103 and 302 in the upcoming permit renewal.

The Division will consider the monitoring results in determining whether additional BMPs are needed to control the pollutant(s) of concern to the maximum extent practicable. If additional BMPs are needed to achieve the required level of control, the Permittee will be required to (1) develop a strategy for implementing appropriate BMPs, and (2) submit a timetable for incorporation of those BMPs into the permitted Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. Part 11 Page 6 of 8 Permit No. NCS000173 SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of representative outfall status and shall be performed as specified below in Table 4. Qualitative monitoring is for the purpose of evaluating the effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and assessing new sources of stormwater pollution. No analytical tests are required. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls is performed when stormwater discharge occurs but does not need to be performed during a representative storm event. In the event an atypical condition is noted at a stormwater discharge outfall, the Permittee shall document the suspected cause of the condition and any actions taken in response to the discovery. This documentation will be maintained with the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. All qualitative monitoring will be performed twice per' year, one the spring (April - June) and once in the fall (September - November). Table 4.

This inspection was conducted to determine if the facility is operating in compliance with the conditions and requirements specified in NPDES Stormwater Permit number NCS000173. Please find attached a copy of the Industrial Stormwater Inspection Report, which indicates the findings of the inspection and a summary of compliance issues. Pursuant to the meeting held on April 18, 2006 in which you, myself and Linda Willis attended, PCS will not pursue an individual stormwater permit separate from the Port of Morehead City's individual stormwater permit. PCS will be responsible for the implementation of all the best management practices defined in the Port of Morehead City's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan as it relates to the leased site on which PCS conducts it's operations.

Include a Map of the facility. This drawing should depict the building, parking, process, and storage areas. If you do not have a map, draw one or request that the facility provide you one in your written correspondence. Map was included in the permit application package. Attached is a map provided by Mr. Bedsole who has requested that the area W of Hwy 70 (PCS leased area) should hold a separate stormwater permit with PCS as the permittee. Mr. Bedsole believe if the stormwater drain from drop inlet 912 and 201 A2 is sealed to separate the conveyance of stormwater from the facility site east of the railroad tracks from the site west of the railroad tracks should provide a definable and separable boundary to isolate the west side currently leased by PCS to support the request to issue PCS and individual stormwater permit for that portion of the Port Authority's property. The Wilmington Regional Office (WiRO) is not in favor of the request due to the fact that the Port Authority is the owner of the facility, has managed an existing and effective stormwater permit/program for years, has the authority to impose stormwater BMP's as specified in the Port Authority's SWPPP, has the legal right to levy penalties in the event any leasee fails to comply with the BMPs identified in the Port Authority's SWPPP or is the cause of any enforcement actions by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) for water quality violations. WiRO believes that the Port Authority's management and oversight of the stormwater permit and it's requirements for this portion of the facility is ultimately in the best interest and will provide the best protection to the surface waters (Calico Creek, Newport River and Bogue Sound, Mr. Bedsole was not concerned about any specific activitiestproblems associated with PCS. He asserts the Port's concerns primarily are in regard to public perception should the DWQ levy enforcement actions against the North Carolina State Port Authority due to surface water impacts from PCS activities. M. Develop a Vicinity Map for the file. N. Idenfify all records that were reviewed. Reviewed the monitoring data for the 4th year (quantitative analyses) and also the required qualitative data. The data was complete. All outfalls that were required were included. The SWPPP appeared to be thorough in addressing all areas of concern for potential pollutants. The Port Authority hires a contract auditor to review the plan versus the facility grounds for effectiveness. All the recommendations provided by the auditor were assimilated into the plan and put into practice with the exception of improvements in off loading of bulk materials to the hopper and the wash down operations. The Port Authority has implemented pressure washing to maximize the washing process while minimizing the volume of water required to effectively clean the hopper and berth. 0. Explain how Secondary Containment is being used and whether these measures are bring properly maintained. [Did you observe that the secondary containment had release valves (were they open, locked etc.), was there water, waste product, sheen, etc observed within the secondary containment area? Explain your observations] Secondary containment was provided for the vehicle/heavy equipment maintenance areas. No small containerized materials were seen. P. House keeping and best management practices (maintenance of BMPs) status. The Port Authority has given much attention to every area on the facility grounds for potential improvements to their practices to minimize pollutant exposure to storm water. The two areas that need continued improvement are admittedly problematic in finding a reasonable solution and those are: 1) the rail car loading areas where Aluminum ore is seen on the ground near and on the tracks where loading operations are conducted. 2) The PCS site has issues with the conveyor belt losing product to the ground from vibration of the belt and wind effects. The storage building for PCS product provides protection from storm water with the exception of product that is conveyed outside by truck's tires. Q. Identity outfalls and receiving waters. List any observation or concerns. Calico Creek, Bogue Sound, Newport River No floating solids or discolored water was seen. R. Take digital photographs to support staff report observations and to provide assistance to future inspectors). Photos were taken by Central Office Personnel. INDUSTRIAL STORMWATER SUMMARY OF FINDINGS REPORT Date of Inspection: January 27, 2006 ADEQUACY OF SWPPP: The SWP3 was reviewed on March 22, 2006. The plan had updated revisions documented for changes to the Best Management Practices at the Port for the year 2005. An inspection of the berths, container storage areas, vehicle maintenance areas, bulk conveyance, and bulk storage areas were conducted. The results of the Analytical Monitoring (as required by the stormwater permit) accompanied the permit renewal application. A summary sheet was also included with the permit renewal package for the Qualitative Monitoring Requirements. The plan should be amended to include improvements to BMP's that will resolve the issues of high COD at several outfalls (103, 302, and 803). VEHICLEIEQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE AREA: One small maintenance building is located on site. There appeared to be no oily residue in the vicinity of the building. Waste oil had secondary containment. TEMPORARY STORAGE OF WASTE MATERIALS: No waste materials were seen stored outdoors. Waste oil in vehicle maintenance area had secondary containment. OUTDOOR STORAGE OF MATERIALS: No bulk materials were staged outside at the time of the inspection. Aluminum ore was stored in rail car on the rail track. The rail track requires more housekeeping. FertTzer was stored inside a large storage building. The storage building protects the material from storm water with the exception of the material that get conveyed off site by truck tire. SPILL RESPONSE AND CLEANUP PROGRAM: The stormwater pollution prevention plan incorporates adequate spill response and clean up practices to be implemented in the case of a spill. EROSION CONTROL ON SITE: The site is primarily paved on the majority of the exposed surfaces. The west shore of the property on Calico Creek is exhibiting heavy erosion from wind and wave action. Hurricane season exacerbates the degradation. The Port Authority intends to improve the bank area. ILLICIT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION: None detected. WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITIES: The Morehead City Terminal site will/is being vacated. Morehead City Terminal will/'has requested their NPDES WW permit to be rescinded. The Regional Office is in support of this request. The outfall from this facility is covered under the stormwater permit NCS000173. k'A ` � rn �,,,,�,� � _ L'a STREAM IMPACTSIRESULTS OF SAMPLING: The fourth year 151 quarter results at outfalls 103, 302, and 803 had extremely high levels of COD (1460, 1534, 1306 mTIL respectively). The fourth year 2nd quarter results at the same outfalls were not as high but still problematic. The 3 quarter results were 1566, 9", and 452 mg/L (103,302 and 803 respectively) and 4t' quarter at 803 was 530 mg/L, (the rest of the outfall data was not available when the results were provided with the permit renewal application to the Division). Taking the flow into account, more than 26,000 Ibs of COD was introduced to the receiving waters via those 3 outfalls during one storm event in the 4u' year of the permit cycle according to the quantitative data provided. Although COD was high, TSS was not near as problematic, however TSS is not required at outfalls 103 and 302. Solutions that can be implemented in the SWPPP to reduce the concentration of COD at the outfalls mentioned above should continue to be sought. SUMMARY/RECOMMENDATIONS: The high pressure washing of the bulk material hopper used to receive and then deliver bulk free product to the transport trucks is of some concern. The wash water from that operation would drain directly to the receiving waters. The washing operation utilizes a high pressure washer to reduce the amount of water use during the washing process and reduce the amount of time needed to wash the hopper. The SWPPP audit identified utilizing catch basins to be built to capture the wash water. This was one of the few suggestions not acted upon by the Port Authority. This Port is handling more bulk business that inherently increases the exposure of the imported/exportedlsto red materials to the environment. The Port Authority should amend their BMP's to eliminate storm water exposure in the areas of bulk material handling/offloading/storage/conveyance. The facility is determined to be compliant with the requirements of the stormwater permit NCS000173. Wilmington Region Recommendations: The Wilmington Regional Office has no objection to renewing the Stormwater Permit NPDES NCS000173. Consider ways to resolve the high COD problems seen at outfalls 103, 302 and 803. Maintain the previous permit monitoring requirements and please consider including TSS analysis at outfalls 103 and 302 in the upcoming'/ permit renewal. Inspected by: Linda Willis Date: April 4, 2006 Logged by: Inspector i c to NCSQOOI 73 Addendum to Staff Report (2/22/2006): The SPU has concluded that a lower TSS benchmark for HQW waters is not appropriate for stormwater permits and will remain 100 mg/l, regardless of receiving water classification (value based on a median concentration from the NURP study —National Urban Runoff Program)- The 20 mg/l is an effluent limit and is more applicable to a continuous discharge. Per Billy Parrott (252.726-0653) at Trumbull Asphalt, the non -contact cooling water is released to a trench that eventually runs into the O/W separator at the southeast corner of the property (see map) - Boiler blow -down is neutralized with phosphoric acid and sampled to verify compliance with NCG50 limits prior to release (Le-, not at the final discharge point). This discharge flows to the south of the property and possibly west at times. The draft has been revised prior to notice to:require sa ripling_at506 Al (justdownstream of the O/W separator) instead;`of 502 (1) to eliminate redundancy with 506 Bl. (2) to better segregate the asphalt plant activities, and (3) because runoff from area between warehouse 10 of the Port is already adequately characterized at other SDO sample points. ,The. been revised to_include TP sampling `at 506 Al as well because phosphoric acid is used a_s_a neutralization chemical (potential residue from this discharge exposed to stormwater). For consistency with other requirements, and because. at Jeast one of these outfalls captures runoff from sevcr'al oil and.fuel ASTs semi-annual sampling wwill be;regWred at 402-and 506-A1 instead of annual. Note - the O/W separator indicated on the Port's original map at the western side of the property does not exist (see attached e-mail and annotated map for other details). Regarding EPA Multi -Sector Permit limits for discharges from asphalt paving and roofing emulsions production areas (also in 40 CFR 443): while O&G and TSS have daily max and monthly average limits, 40 CFR 122.44(k)(3) grants NC authority to require BMPs in lieu of permit limits (Note NCG 16 for asphalt operations has no limits either): however, future reviewers should consider how analytical results over the next cycle compare to those limit values- 7 FW: Port Aap Subject: FW: Port Map From: "Parrott, William"<william.parrott@owenscoming.com> Date: Fri, 17 Feb 2006 10:22:08 -0500 To:<bethany.georgoulias@ncmail.net> Bethany, I apologize for my tardiness (business as usual).

Currently old AFT (aviation fuel terminal) site, and ground remediation is underway. PCS also stores materials at this site (sulfuric and phosphoric acid). No apparent point source discharges of stormwater from the property; however, after development, the NCPA will have an infrastructure to convey stormwater runoff. -Wood chip facility: currently little to no storage of chips in this area at the Port. Wood chips have fallen out of favor as revenue source because most are imported from other countries right now. Area is still used to store some steel, slag, and limestone (not much when we were there, though). -PCS Phosphate — Port favors separating this facility out of their current stormwater permit. Employees on -site are Port employees reimbursed by PCS (and PCS managers on -site to direct daily operations). Already pursuing separated air permit, and the Port Authority included the possibility of NPDES stormwater permit separation in the contract negotiated with the company. -DAP is the dry fertilizer product (by-product is phosphoric acid) stored in the warehouse at the site. Material is routinely tracked out by trucks onto pavement and can run into storm drains. -This port is the number 2 importer of rubber in the nation right now; all unprocessed rubber is stored inside warehouses and cannot get wet (ruins product). -Proposing new warehouse building on the west side of the main building. -Trumbull Asphalt operates under the Ports stormwater permit and would take on any sampling required. Stopped to see 0/W separator inlet near outfall 402 (used to be under defunct wastewater permit NC0007749), but Layton was unsure about the other O/W sep. indicated on the site map and referred us to the company. [My discussion with Trumbull 's contact earlier indicated it was the O/W separator far the tank containment urea —drop inlet 506 A]A1—that they reported monthly to the NCPA about. It was not clear here how many O/W separators there are; however, additional sampling at 402 and 502 should capture discharges. It is also still not clear where non -contact cooling water discharge under NCG500354 flows or is sampled -Vehicle maintenance area: an 0/W separator here discharges to the sanitary sewer. -Lots of borate in rail cars and piles around various areas of the Port (including spillage). Swept/scrapped up and reclaimed spilled borate in some areas; other areas may not be so well maintained. [No benchmark for borate, but COD and TSS should help identify problems. An appropriate benchmark for borate here would be difficult because this compound (and boric acid in aqueous equilibrium) is naturally present in sea water; it also acts as a pH buffer.] 3 Michael F.

This change is based an 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. These benchmarks are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for the facility's Storrawater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). New -language in the permit specifies that if any gents exceed benchmark values, the facility should evaluate the effectiveness of its BMPs, review and/err update its SPPP, and document any efforts to address stormwater contamination (see Part 11, Sec. B & D). Total Flow monitoring has also been removed per DWQ revised strategy (Total Rainfall and Event Duration parameters retained). Instead, Part U. Sec.

November 2001) Central Office Review Summary: Facility discharges stormwater to the Newport River and Bogue Sound, which are on the 303(d) list of impaired waters because of fecal coliform standard violations and consequent shellfish harvesting closures. Much of the Newport River estuary is also conditionally approved -closed or —open. The White Oak Basinwide Plan notes elevated nutrients in the upper Newport River and fecal coliform after rainfall events. Recommendations for addressing impaired shellfish waters focus on stormwater management for growth and development, which has increased surface runoff in this watershed significantly over the years; future urbaY,i nation emphasizes the need for adequate stormwater planning even more. The Phase II program is discussed, but Morehead City is not a Phase II community at this time. The December 2004 Compliance Inspection Report from Ed Beck at the WiRO indicated this facility maintains compliance with its Stormwater Management Plan and generally employs good control strategies for its runoff, however, there was room for improvement. The Port leases to several government and private companies: • PCS Phosphate operates bulk handling facility • Owens Coming operates the Trumbull Asphalt facility • Morehead City Terminals operates a bulk wood chip handling facility Since last renewal, the company has had no significant changes in industrial activities but has made improvements by residing several transfer towers to reduce fugitive emissions —potential stormwater contamination. The December 3, 2004 Memo from E. Beck (attached) already recommended renewal of this permit with similar conditions. With this report, -the Central Office requests WiRO's concurrence with monitoring revisions reflecting 2005 permit renewal changes. Qualitative Monitoring Results: 2000-04 records from Central Files reviewed; very few problems. Noted higher suspended solids at outfall 907 (Wood Chip storage) in only one quarter_ (Runoff from chip operations treated prior to discharge, covered under NC0077666). Analytical Monitoring;. See attached Monitoring Data Analysis (Attachment A). Elevated COD levels at all but one outfall. NCPA has been cognizant of high levels and has made improvements to lower stormwater impacts; for example, the port has covered bulk conveyor belts, purchased a new street sweeper, and implemented routine maintenance (see attached e-mail). ' Renewal permit will have 120 mg/l benchmark. Reviewer recommends expanding pH monitoring (which Port Authority already performs routinely), O&G, and TSS monitoring to all representative oudWIs. O&G and TSS are appropriate indicators for stormwater contamination at a large transit facility and inexpensive to monitor, and these parameters are already required for the subset of outfalls with drainage from vehicle maintenance areas. In addition, TSS monitoring at outfalls 402 and 502 (added to capture asphalt plant runoff) is consistent with the NCG 16 general stormwater permit for asphalt operations. Although fecal coliform is a problem in these waters, do not expect port operations to be a significant source. (Would also be difficult to assess contribution with marine birds usually congregating near ports.) During sampling event in 2/2004, records for outfalls 103 & 510 noted "completely dry" conditions and no analytical results were available. The company failed to sample outfall 803 for phosphorus during the past permit W - NCS000173 term, but levels during 1996-99 were between 1-2 mg/1(see attached e-mail). Reviewer recommends retainingTP monitoring at outfalls 103 and 803 but eliminating the requirement for other ou&lls because (1) TP levels were low and (2) would not expect phosphorus to be a major pollutant of concern at the other outfalls. Representative Outfalls: Possible representative outfa0 revisions were considered during review (See 12/22/05 e- mail re: peer review from K. Pickle and correspondence with perrnittee). Reviewer recommends proposed revisions: • Sampling will remain at 103 instead of 101 even though upstream of phosphate storage domes and phosphoric acid tanks because of tidal influences on the latter drop inlet. • Add sampling at outfaU 91 IA to vehicle maintenance monitoring (site already initiated monitoring). • Retain sampling at 506B 1 & 911A 1 outfallsbecause COD and/or TSS levels were elevated, and because these outfalls represent vehicle maintenance areas. Because the Port has the ability to sample drop inlets that segregate these areas, there is a benefit to keeping these sample locations. • Add sampling at 402 and 502 to capture asphalt operations. The old wastewater permit for the oil/water separator discharge (NC0007749, previously issued to Owens Corning) is no longer active, and none of the other outWh captures runoff from asphalt plant operations --an vndustrial activity �ubjed to NPDES SQUnwater atio - Because 502 is downstream of 506B1 and 510 and will introduce some redundancy, and because the NCG16 general permit for asphalt operations requires only annual TSS sampling, the reviewer recommends annual sampling at these outfalls instead of seari-annual (However, COD and O&G will also apply because these oudiills drain more than just the asphalt production area; e.g., diesel and used oil storage area in drainage area 400.) • 701 will. not be added because stormwater discharges from there should be represented elsewhere (this permit does not authorize or cover wastewater discharges from hopper rinses). • The fiunigation plant was demolished years ago, so no reason to replace 803 with 802. • No sampling added for fish meal operation since mostly sheet flow at north of property. Morehead City LLC also has two outfalls covered by NPDES wastewater permit No. NC0077666. That permit allows discharge of treated runoff from bulk storage materials (wood chips, crushed stone, and steel slag) that has been routed through settling basins. See discussion below with Trumball Plant contact re: NPDES permits. Monitoring frequency will increase to semi-annually. This change ensures at least nine data points are collected through the petmit.term and makes monitoring fiequency consistent with qualitative monitoring. The ert-eption in this permit is that outfalls draining runoff from the asphalt plant will be mmrored annually (see representative outfall discussion above). Also, benchmark values for all parameters have plgo been added to the permit as a guide for the permirrPe to check the effectiveness of BMPs (and document efforts) when necessary- Note TSS benchmark based on WQ standards for SA waxers in 2B .0200s (HQW applies by definition). Follow-up with the company contact (Layton Bedsole, Jr., 910.790.2332) on 12/8 and 12/29/05. See attached e- mail s from I2/16/05 and 1/3/06. 41Q776p6S3 Follow-up with Trumball Asphalt plant contact (Billy Parrot, 9t0-990 2392}on 1/4/06: The property used to belong to Owens Corning but was sold in 1997 to the Port, so now Coming is only a tenant. The old wastewater permit for O/W separator discharge (NC0007749) was rendered inactive after the transfer and was never reissued. The only NPDES wastewater permit Owens Corning continues to renew is NCG500354 (non - contact cooling, boiler blow -down). The company doesn't do any sampling for the Port, but it does submit a monthly environmental report to NCPA about what has been released from the storage tank containment area (east part of the property) into the Port's storm drain/oil-grit separator. Most runoff drains to the south and west of the property but hard to tell how much goes where --tidal influences and smaller drainage pipe diameters make it difficult to determine.

Rex_Edwards@ncports.com, Bill_Bennett@ncports.com Good Afternoon, Let me know if further information is needed! 1) The wastewater permits you referenced are issued to Trumbull and MhcExports respectively. I do not know the status of the Trumbull o/w system but the Trumbull facility contact is Mr. Billy Parrot @ (252) 726 4171. 2) If there is concern with the o/w system discharge, I would like to put that onus on Trumbull. If additional stormwater sampling is required of the Ports, I would suggest Drop Inlet 402 to minimize tidal influence. 3) Drop Inlet 103 was selected also because of the tidal influence on D.I. 101. 4a) The Fumigation Plant and all appurtenances were demolished approx. 3-5 years ago. I will have the CAD operator remove the Plant depiction from the next dwg. 4b) The Transit Shed One area is very similar in operation to the areas near D.Is. 506, 506BI and 510. These are general cargo areas, primarily breakbulk, cargoes handled by fork -lifts or squeezer trucks. 5a) The hopper rinse water does exit D.I. 700 or 600 pending cargo storage at the time. However, a best mgt. practice is advised for filtering the rinse water before entering the stormwater system. 5b) This southwest location is likely the only area that the hopper system would use.

An inspection of the site was done on November 18, 2004. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and associated material, including updates and monitoring reports, were made available by the environmental manager and were found to be in good order. The SWPP is well developed, describes the many activities on the site, and prescribes appropriate BMP controls to reduce impacts. The file includes reports of inspections done by a consultant to evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of BMPs on the site. The evaluations appear to be quite thorough and objective. Earlier reports point out some inadequacies but more recent reports indicate adequate conditions. A review of the site was done. There are many varied activities taking place on the site by companies and government agencies that lease space at the port. Bulk and containerized cargo is received, stored and loaded on the site. PCS Phosphate operates a large bulk handling facility on the site including an auger conveyor and covered storage buildings. Owens Corning operates the Trumbull Asphalt facility which rec6iyes bulk asphalt and manufactures roofing products. Morehead City Terrain s operates a facility for bulk handling of wood chips. The US Marine Corps operates a stevedoring and maintenance facility. vMany other_ companies receive and store products on the port site. While appropriate BMPs and control strategies were generally being employed, there were some areas where improvements could be made. These will be addressed in the inspection report. It is recommended that the permit be reissued with conditions and requirements similar to those in the current permit. eb: ncs000173.124 cc: Wilmington Regional Files Central Files Ed Beck Ports Authority - Morehead City Subject: Ports Authority - Morehead City From: Bethany Georgoulias <bedmy.georgoulias@ncmail.net> Date: Wed. 22 Feb 2006 14:28:05 -0500 To: Linda Willis <Linda.Willis@ncmail.net> Linda, I took a look at the map Billy Parrott sent and had only this to add to my request for input on the draft permit NCS000173 (you'll need the Port's map handy for this): 1) I still recommend adding monitoring at drop inlet 402 to capture the western side of the asphalt plant property. However, what do you think about adding monitoring at drop inlet 506 Al to capture discharge from the other portion of the asphalt plant (right after the O/W separator), instead of 502? Originally I'd suggested 502, which is further downstream but somewhat redundant with 506 B1, which the Port already samples. The asphalt plant pulls samples for their NCG50 permit upstream of the O/W separator, so the discharge point we're interested in for stormwater is not being sampled currently. 506 Al would segregate this asphalt activity better than 502. (Though let me know if we should add 502 sampling anyway - I couldn't remember if something was near Warehouse 10 and that RR spur that would not be represented elsewhere.) 2) Because Trumbull neutralizes their boiler blow -down with phosphoric acid, do you think we should include total phosphorus (TP) monitoring at 506 Al? [Incidentally, the permit was drafted with a recommended TSS benchmark of 20 mg/1 because the discharge here is to SA/HQW waters, and the 2B .0224 rules specify a 20 mg/1 limit for effluent concentrations. After discussions, our Unit decided it was more practical to retain the 100 mg/l benchmark for stormwater permits no matter what the classification, given the nature of stormwater events. (The 100 comes from a National Urban Runoff Program study and is probably more appropriate for a S/W runoff benchmark in this case, especially given that effluent limits apply to a continuous discharge.). So that number will change in the draft I sent.] Whenever you get a chance. You're probably as swamped (if not more) as we are. Hope you have a good week! -BG Bethany Georgoulias Environmental Engineer NC DENR DWQ Stormwater Permitting Unit (919) 733-5083, ext. 529 bethany,georgoulias@ncmail.net 1 of 1 2/22/2006 2:28 PM Comments for you Subject: Comments for you From: Bethany Georgoulias<bethany.georgouiias@ncmail.net> Date: Wed, 01 Feb 2006 15,58:55 -0500 To: Linda Willis <Linda.Willis@ncmail.net> Linda, Below are my comments on the Morehead City Port visit and one general comment from Ken Pickle. Aisha preferred to send hers on the Sunny Point visit separately. That should be everybody's. Thanks again for coordinating those - we really appreciated the opportunity to get out there with you! Morehead City: -Please include any comments from the Region regarding NCPA's request to separate out PCS Phosphate's area under a separate stormwater permit. -Any thoughts regarding the Port's claim that some outalls should not be sampled because of tidal influences. When seeing where they were, I understood how the furthest outlet points were probably submerged at high tide periods, but we didn't get to really scope the sample points and actually see what Layton meant. -I was still unclear about how many oil/water separators there are at the Trumbull Asphalt facility (Layton drove us to the one near drop inlet 402, but two o/w seps are indicated on the site map. I talked to plant contact Billy Parrot last month, and he said they report monthly to NCPA about releases from their tank containment area --which goes to the o/w separator shown on the site map near drop inlet 506 AIAl. I've got another call into Billy and will inquire.) -I'm still trying to de -mystify how Trumbull's NCG500354 permit fits in here (that permit covers non -contact cooling water and boiler blowdown wastewater discharges from 2 outfalls at the asphalt facility, but I don't know which ones). NCG50 imposes O&G limits and requires semi-annual sampling... depending on whether those discharges ultimately go to the outfalls I've proposed adding into the renewal stormwater permit to capture asphalt activity runoff (402 and 502 I think), I'm wondering if that stormwater will be comingled with wastewater there and thus already covered by that wastewater permit. I know, confusing. (I don't even know how diligent Trumbull is about sampling under that ww permit). I've left a message with Billy and am awaiting return call. Let us know if the region is aware of compliance issues for that permit or has any comments, and I'll check into how we handle this kind of permitting situation on this end. -Any comments about whether the Region thinks additional representative outfalls should be added based on our visit. For instance, we talked about how vehicles track DAP out of PCS's storage facility. Checking the map, at least some of that is captured in the sampling already at 103 (and obviously, the Port already knew this was something that could be improved), but if there were any other areas you don't think are represented adequately in the draft permit, let me know- -Ken and I were a little disappointed that we didn't get the chance to get out and walk around some of these spots on our tour to really investigate some of the outfall configurations, but it was difficult with a large group and the pace of the tour. It was a terrific tour for me nonetheless, but if you think there's any information we should request to fill in gaps from our visit, please include those comments. I think that's about it. Thanks again, and I'll let you know when I get any more info. from Billy Parrot. -BG Bethany Georgoulias Environmental Engineer NC DENR D➢3Q Stormwater Permitting Unit (919) 733-50B3, ext. 529 bethany.georgoulias@ncmail.net 1 of 2 2/1 /2006 3:59 PM Comments for you Linda Willis wrote: Hey Bethany, I wished I had your cell phone on Fri. I worried and worried whether you were alright. I hope your husband found you with no problems on Friday. I was wondering, shall I write up an inspection report for Sunny Point and the Ports? Seems like I was to fill out the check list inspection form for all three and I believe Aisha said a formal inspection letter should accompany that. Will you need that in the form of a letter to the permit to support your efforts in renewing the permits? Not sure how you all want to see the regional comments. Also if any of you all have comments you want me to incorporate into my inspection letter, I'm glad to include them. Would you get together with Bradley, Ken, Bill, Aisha and Sarah for joint comments and send them via email to me?? If no comments on any of the facilities, just give me a shout via email stating so.

I'm impressed. I have a few comments, as follows. 1. Do you think we need to specify in the permit text which outfalls they are to sample from? Did I just miss this in the permit, or is it in other file correspondence? If we don't include it in the permit text, do you think we need to name the outfalls in the xsmittal letter? 2. It's not clear to me what logic was used to select the sampling points_ Since they are not sampling every discharge, I guess that sometime in the past they were approved for representative outfall sampling - which I agree is a reasonable approach, especially along the bulkheads where sampling of each outfall might require personnel to be in a boat - in my mind, an undesirable situation from a safety standpoint. But still, consider the following sampling points: a) 103 - Not such a very bad location, but it is upstream of the Phosphate Storage Domes, and would not detect any stormwater pollution released from that area. Wouldn't drainage structure 101 be a better location for the sample? Note that the Ports' site plan specifically identifies the Phosphate Storage Domes as a potential pollution source. Oh, and upon closer inspection, I see that even the runoff from the Phosphoric Acid `tanks would not be captured at location 103 - this is another specifically identified pollution source that is not sampled under the current permit. What do you think about 101 as a replacement for 103? b) 302 - At first I thought 301 might be better, but I bet that the other half of that drainage area is non -industrial. Seems to me Oil as is. c) 506B1 - Note that this sampling location picks up -25% of the subdrainage area, but that a sample from drainage structure 502 would pick up closer to 85% of the area. Note that the Shipping Containers (an identified pollution source) are not picked up by the current sampling point, but a portion of the shipping container area, at least, would be picked up by 502. What do you think of 502 as a replacement for 506B1? d) 510 - I see that when combined with 50631 they capture runoff from about 60%+ of the subdrainage area, but they still miss the Shipping Containers area, and they're taking two samples where it appears one would suffice. Oh - maybe 510 is intended to be representative of the several outfalls along the south bulkhead? And maybe 506B1 is intended to be representative of the five warehouses? I guess that makes a kind of sense, if they want to segregate the activities so they can tell which ones need closer controls, but it still leaves out large areas of the site, including identified pollution source areas lA and 5A. I don't think it is a strong approach. It seems better to me to eliminate this one, and substitute 502 for both 510 and 506B1. What do you think? e) 803 - Not such a bad location, but it looks to me like 802 would pick up more of the Shipload Conveyor area, as well as the Fumigation Plant. I'm not familiar with port operations, but I am suspicious of conveyors in general as a pollution source, and I'm suspicious of the potential for toxic substances to be located at a facility named "Fumigation Plant." f) 907 - Surprisingly, I actually understand this location. OK as is. Upstream of 907, however, the site plan is incomplete in identifying the boundaries between sewer sub -systems 900, 200, 400, 500, and 1000. g) 911A1 - Why? Seems redundant when they're sampling at 907. Hmmm...this appears to be a sample point -to monitor flows from the Vehicle Wash Down Area. If we are really talking about vehicle wash down flows, those would be wastewaters, not stormwaters. Fly least objection to this point is that it is redundant. 1 of 2 1 /5/2006 8:28 AM Morehead City Ports permit renewal 3. Note Attachment A of the Staff Report, Analysis Guidance block - some part of the block did not print. 4. Note that the site inspection report by Ed Beck is for the Wilmington port, not the Morehead City port - revise reference in staff report?? 5. Back to the sampling point selection. So, what do you think about the following arrangement/revisions to the sampling program? a) 101 to replace 103 in order to capture the H3PO4 Tank Farm and the phosphate storage area. b) Stormwater outfall 200 deemed represented by outfall 101 based on similar activities in the contributing areas, and based on no current sampling obligation for 200. c) 302 to be retained even though it might be arguable that 400 or 500 would be so similar as to be representative. Retain 302 based on very high COD SDOs. d) ADD 401 because no other outfall picks up a significant portion of the asphalt operations, and so, no other outfall can be said to be representative. e) 502 to replace both 506B1 and 510 (a reduction in their sampling costs) for the reasons explored above in 2.c) and d). f) Stormwater outfall 600 deemed represented by outfall 502 based on similar industrial activities in the subdrainage areas, and based on no current obligation for 600. g) ADD 701 based on the permittee identifying two potential pollution sources in the subsystem. ALSO, the notation "Hopper Washings" may be cause for concern. If they are washing out railcars at this location, with a subsequent flow entering drainage structure 701, that would be a wastewater discharge, I think. h) 802 to replace 603 in order to capture the Fumigation Plant runoff. i) 907 OK as is, eliminate outfall 911A1 because it's redundant. j) Outfalls 1100 -- 5500 - I've never dealt with a similar situation. They are individually small areas, with limited industrial activity. It seems the only activity would be ship to rail transfer of materials. Not an insignificant activity, but I don't know how to safely sample stormwater given the physical configuration. Perhaps we could deem these outfalls as represented by the remainder of the outfalls to be sampled. It's mostly transfer of materials at this site, with less emphasis an manufacturing new compounds or materials. k) I wonder if we should attempt to address the fish meal place on the north? You know the material that they handle would be very high in BOD, and polluted stormwater runoff could have an affect on Calico Creek. Well, except for the fish meal operation, these monitoring changes result in no net increase in monitoring costs, I think. Ken 2 of 2 1/5/2006 8:28 AM Bethany, Wow, very nice work! I'm impressed.

Note that the Shipping Containers (an identified pollution source) are not picked up by the current sampling, point, but a portion to ie shipping con airier-ama, at -least, Wo—uldbe picked"upwby 502. -What do you think of 502 asa replacement for 506B 1 ? c dY5 10 -1 see that when combined with 506B 1 they capture runoff from about 60%+ of the subdrainage area, but they still miss the Shipping Containers area, and they're taking two samples where it appears one would suffice. Oh - maybe 510 is intended to be representative of the several outfalls along the south bulkhead? And maybe 506B1 is intended to be representative of the five warehouses? I guess that makes a kind of sense, if they want to segregate the activities so they can tell which ones need closer controls, but it still leaves out large areas of the site, including identified pollution source areas IA and 5A_ I don't think it is a strong approach. It seems better to me to eliminate this one, and substitute 502 for both 510 and 506B 1. What do you think? , e) 803 - Not such a bad location, but it looks to me like 802 would pick up more of the Shipload Conveyor area, as well as the Fumigation Plant. I'm not familiar with port operations, but I am suspicious of conveyors in general as a pollution source, and I'm suspicious of the potential for toxic substance.s to be located at a facility named "Fumigation Plant." f) 907 - Surprisingly, I actually understand this location. OK as is. Upstream of 907, however, the site plan is incomplete in identifying the boundaries between sewer sub -systems 900, 200, 400, 500, and 1000. I of 2 Ste- 1-4b 12/22/2005 about blank ✓g) 9l 1Al - Why? Seems redundant when they're sampling at 907. Hmmm...this appears to be a sample point to monitor flows from the Vehicle Wash Down Area. If we are really talking about vehicle wash down flows, those would be wastewaters, not stormwaters. My least objection to this point is that it is redundant. -4-a Cp-v`-1� 'e � e3►�c. nA ��-C,c a� c� i.. a.e.� /3.

So, what do you think about the following arrange ment/revIs] ons to the sampling program? /) 101 to replace 103 in order to capture the H3PO4 Tank Farm and the phosphate storage area. Stormwater outfall 200 deemed represented by outfall 101 based on similar activities in the contributing areas, and based on no current sampling obligation for 200. vt") 302 to be retained even though it might be arguable that 400 or 500 would be so similar as to be representative. Retain 302 based on very high COD SDOs. r --4) ADD 401 because no other outfall picks up a significant portion of the asphalt operations, and so, no other outfall can be said to be representative. 7 e) 502 to replace both 506B 1 and 510 (a reduction in their sampling costs) for the reasons explored above in 2.c) and d). - f) Stormwater outfall 600 deemed represented by outfall 502 based on similar industrial activities in the subdrainage areas, and based on no current obligation for 600. ?, g) ADD 701 based on the permittee identifying two potential pollution sources in the subsystem. ALSO, the notation "Hopper Washings" may be cause for concern. If they are washing out railcars at this location, with a subsequent flow entering drainage structure 701, that would be a wastewater discharge, I think. -- I tt�`"" �- �c pultr�--�i_c..� 40 c1_ _O( dLZ4 0_ V e )C i) 907 OK as is, eliminate outfall 91 lAl because it's redundant. = It �cJ� ✓ . ,/j) Outfalls 1100 - 5500 - I've never dealt with a similar situation. They are individually small areas, with limited industrial activity. It seems the only activity would be ship to rail transfer of materials. Not an insignificant activity, but I don't know how to safely sample stormwater given the physical configuration. Perhaps we could deem these outfalls as represented by the remainder of the outfalls to be sampled. It's mostly transfer of materials at this site, with less emphasis on manufacturing new compounds or materials. 9 k) I wonder if we should attempt to address the fish meal place on the north? You know the material 0 that they handle would be very high in BOD, and polluted stormwater runoff could have an affect on Calico Creek. 41t-1 ' D� Well, except for the fish meal operation, these monitoring changes result in no net increase in v'ly monitoring costs, I think. - Ken 2 of 2 12/22/2005 1:54 PM 4z Sk -'t- 'j, ro ID 00 7g It � v <�dJOT—fit -------------- i rn sk N A TO i- SE,�pPt Co„Lit r--, I _B USG sL� WayGdczsry Nla.nt� �' t 1 -1 C D rum S 4-,a I n5 ►fie, mar ��?

We have reviewed your questions and are providing the following responses. If additional information is needed, please do not hesitate calling 910 790 2332. 1) The stormwater permit specifies stormwater discharge outfalls (SDOs) 103, 302, 506B1, 510, 803, and 903 be sampled as representative outfalls (Part II, Section B, footnote 3). In Section D, outfalls 506B1 and 803 are designated vehicle maintenance SDOs. However, analytical reports also include outfall 911A1. Is there a reason why this outfall is also sampled? Response: The Authority added Outfall 911A1 when an additional garage staff and shop was relocated to the adjacent bldg. This area has also been added to our annual BMP surveys and our stormwater pollution prevention plan. 2) The permit requires Total Phosphorus (TP) sampling for all representative SDOs at this terminal. The analytical summary submitted shows "NR" for this parameter for outfall 803. Why was TP not sampled at that outfall? Response: We have researched this with our consultant and lab and all we can come up with is a field oversight. We have attached below a history of outfall 803 being sampled for total phosphorous. We will take every step to ensure this oversight is corrected in future events. -------------------+-------------------------------------I I Date ITotal Phosphorous I { -------------------+-------------------------------------I j 1996 11.06mg/l I -------------------------------------------- I 1997 I1.82mg/1 I -------------------+-------------------------------------I 1998 11.19mg/1 I -------------------+-------------------------------------I 1999 11.21mg/1 I -------------------+-------------------_------_-__ -----I 3) Why were outfalls 103 and 510 not sampled in Feb- 2004? Response: During this sampling event, our consultants reported that outfalls 103 & 510 were "completely dry". So no samples were taken at these outfalls during this event. This condition was noted on the DWQ SDO Qualitative Monitoring Reports and data sheets transmitted to DWQ on April 13, 2004. 4) Maximum COD levels were quite high for several of the outfalls - above 1300 mg/1 in three cases. Have high COD levels ever prompted the facility to evaluate potential sources or best management practices that would reduce chemical residue/other pollutants in the areas draining to 1 of 3 12/160005 12:52 PM [Fwd: Re: NPDES Stormwater issuance to lease holders) Subject: [Fwd: Re: NPDES Stormwater issuance to lease holders] From: Bradley Bennett <bradley.bennett@ncmail.net> Date: Thu, 15 Dec 2005 16:47:53 -0500 To: Aisha Lau <aisha. lau@ncmai 1. net>, Bethany Georgoulias<bethany.georgoulias@ncmail.net> CC: Ken Pickle <ken.pickle@ncmail.net> Aisha and Bethany I think you each have a renewal for the ports authority so I wanted to pass Ed's message and my response along to you.

An inspection of the site was done on November 18, 2004. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and associated material, including updates and monitoring reports, were made available by the environmental manager and were found to be in good order. The SWPP is well developed, describes the many activities on the site, and prescribes appropriate BMP controls to reduce impacts. The file includes reports of inspections done by a consultant to evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of BMPs on the site. The evaluations appear to be quite thorough and objective. Earlier reports point out some inadequacies but more recent reports indicate adequate conditions. A review of the site was done. There are many varied activities taking place on the site by companies and government agencies that lease space at the port. Bulk and containerized cargo is received, stored and loaded on the site. PCS Phosphate operates a large bulk handling facility on the site including an auger conveyor and covered storage buildings. Owens Corning operates the Trumbull Asphalt facility which receives bulk asphalt and manufactures roofing products. Morehead City Terminals operates a facility for bulk handling of wood chips.

The attached figures illustrate the general location and current facility uses of the former Aviation Fuel Terminal. The current operation consists of a liquid bulk terminal handling sulfur and fertilizer. Approximately 40K to 50K gallons of liquid fertilizer are stored at the site at any given time. The polyphosphate fertilizer tank has, in the past, stored sulfuric acid and the 10 central tanks have stored aviation fuel but not since 1994. The total volume of materials stored is less than one million gallons. Please note that the site currently has no drainage structures or discharge points. Site soils, defined by the Soil Conservation Service, are "excessively drained Newhan fine sand, dredged" that allows direct percolation of stormwater. Accompanying the application and attachments is the $80.00 permit processing fee.

This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215 .1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the US Environmental Protection agency dated December 6, 1983. Please note that the Division has revised the analytical monitoring strategy for individual stormwater permits. Based on a review of the permit monitoring data received to date, the analytical monitoring measurement frequencies have 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. The qualitative monitoring strategy remains the same as the first term of the permit. Please note that the semi-annual qualitative monitoring is a requirement of the permit. Failure to complete the monitoring as required is a violation of the permit and any permit noncompliance constitutes a violation of the Clean Water Act. Reference Part III, Section A, Item 2 "Duty to Comply", Item 9 "Penalties for Tampering " and Item 10 "Penalties for Falsification of Reports" of your permit for further information. 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.

Permit No. NCS000173 PART II MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR PERA-IITTED DISCHARGES SECTION A: STORA7WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN The perrninee 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 item: 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 leaps 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. Storrnwater 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 stonmwater, 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 cotmected directly to stortriwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices [which shall be secured with a Part 11 Page I of 5 Permit No. NCS000173 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 snaking 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.

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 pernuttee when the Plan does not meet one or more of the minimum requirements of the permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permiittee shall submit a time schedule to the Director for modifying the Plan to meet minitmun 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. 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 lI Page 2 of 5 Permit No. NCS000173 Stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring as required in Part II of this permit shall be performed in addition to facility inspections. 9. Implementation. The permittee shall 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.
