REGAN N1'.-,1.4— WILLIAM E. (TOBY) VINSON, JR. Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit Permit No. NCS000520 PCS Phosphate - Morehead City Bulk Handling Facility Carteret County Dear Mr. Winstead: Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. Please review the draft carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains. The draft permit contains the following significant changes from the facility's current permit: 1- You are required to collect analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during "measurable storm events" as defined in Part 11, Section B. This term is different from the "representative storm event" in earlier permits. 2. Requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Plan (SPPP) have been updated in Part 11, Section A. 3. Monitoring requirements in the draft permit have changed slightly from the previous permit. Monitoring is proposed for Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Total Phosphorous (TP), Total Ammonia as Nitrogen (TAN), and pH on,a quarterly schedule. Monitoring data reported as part of your renewal process showed results for fluoride below the benchmark value. In addition, data for nitrogen parameters indicate that monitoring for TAN should be sufficient to characterize the potential contributions from your stormwater discharge. The draft permit proposes to remove Total Nitrogen, Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen, Fluoride and Temperature as required monitoring parameters. Comments from our regional staff or other information may result in maintaining these parameters if it is apparent that your activities in some way have the potential to release them. Stormwater benchmarks remain in the permit as before. Keep in mind that benchmarks are not permit limits, but rather guidelines for implementing the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). A benchmark exceedance is not a permit violation; however, the permittee must respond to exceedances. The draft permit has modified the tiered response process for benchmark exceedances consistent with other permits in our program. Please become familiar with the tiered process as proper response under the tiers may be enforceable items under your permit.

For your permit, language has been added in Tier 3 that would allow the Regional Office to review benchmark exceedances and reset your monitoring process to the original quarterly requirements. 4. Vehicle maintenance (Tables 4 & 5) monitoring parameters have been revised. Non -Polar Oil & Grease [EPA Method 1664 (SGT-HEM)] replaces Oil & Grease/TPH. The benchmark for Non -polar Oil & Grease using this method is 15 mg/L. This requirement appears in all individual stormwater permits; however, it only applies to facilities that perform onsite vehicle maintenance activities. if the facility begins vehicle maintenance during the permit cycle, the requirements will apply. Also, PH monitoring is no longer required for discharges only associated with vehicle maintenance activities. The vehicle maintenance language in the permit has also been modified to clarify that these activities include not just vehicles, but also other similar equipment maintenance activities that maybe exposed to stormwater. This has always been the Division's implementation of this requirement, but hopefully the adjusted Language is a little clearer about this process. 5. Language has been added under Part II Section D to address potential responses to qualitative monitoring issues. 6. A new section on Special Conditions has been added in Part II, Section E to comply with federal regulations requiring electronic submittal of discharge monitoring reports. Our electronic submittal process is not available for use at this time, but we will continue to provide feedback on when this process will be available. 7. Civil and administrative penalty amounts have been updated to reflect current federal law in Part Ili, Section A, 2(b) and (g). Please review the draft permit and submit any comments to me no later than 30 days following your receipt of the draft. Comments may be emailed to me at biadley.bennett@ncdenr.gov or mailed to my attention at NC DEMLR, Stormwater Permitting Program, 1612 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699- 1612. With this notification the Division will solicit comment on this draft by publishing a notice in a local newspaper. Following the 30 day public comment period, the Division will review comments and take appropriate action prior to issuance of the final permit. If you have any questions, please email me or call me at (919) 807-6392.

Previous permit did have tier system (2 tiers). o Data reviewed from 2009 through 2017. Focused most review on last five years of data. Over this time TP has consistently exceeded benchmark values and lead to monthly monitoring over much of the permit cycle. COD numbers have also exceeded benchmarks consistently over the permit cycle. Fluoride has not exceeded benchmarks. TN was exceeding regularly as well, but not over the last few years. o Fluoride — benchmark set at 75mg/L for saltwaters and the facility never exceeded 7. Over the last five years values never more than 1.4. Appears reasonable to remove this parameter. o pH values consistent between around 6.5 and 8. This is a baseline parameter and also could effect the impact of ammonia so maintain in the permit. o TSS values have only exceeded the benchmark on a few occasions, and none within the last two years. Given the nature of the site and materials exposed it seems reasonable to maintain T55 as a baseline parameter in the permit. o COD — Around 40% of all COD values exceed the benchmark value. The permittee indicates that over time they worked with the WIRO and developed and implemented various BMPs but still have issues. They suspect the problems are due to the fact that the highway spans part of their site and drainage from the highway goes to this outfall location. COD values are no longer in the thousands so some progress has been made. Maintain this parameter. o TP —The facility deals in phosphate fertilizers and has had consistent problems with meeting the benchmark number. Around 80% of TP values exceed the benchmark, but values have been lower over the last year. The permitee indicated that over the last few years they have done a lot less with the dry fertilizer material which has most likely decreased the TP values. Liquid material (phosphoric acid) is inside a berm and drains to holding pond. They usually let the water evaporate. If there is too much they test and pH is okay they release on grassed are to infiltrate. Maintain TP in the permit. o Nitrogen Parameters (TN, TKN and TAN) — In the first few years of the permit the TN benchmark was exceeded frequently. Over the last five years, however there has only been one exceedance indicating facility BMPs and practices have influenced this parameter. There is still some room for concern about the potential for impact from ammonia sources and this was the reason for the TKN, TAN (Ammonia as Total Nitrogen) sampling. Temp and pH also were used to help evaluate these parameters. All of these values track very well in the data and it seems that sampling just for TAN will give a good indication of any potential problem with Ammonia while also giving an indication of TN and TKN. Data shows that TAN values on average are 64% of TKN value and 50% of TN values. Values for pH will also help indicate potential ammonia concerns, Sources reviewed indicate that at higher pH levels (9.24 and above) the form of ammonia is more unionized ammonia which is more toxic. Maintain TAN in permit. o Parameters in permit — TSS, TP, TAN, COD, pH o Tier structure adjusted to have the three levels as in current permits. Tier three — added language to allow Regional Office to rest the monitoring to original quarterly level. o VM monitoring changed to be consistent with current permits and to include references to equipment maintenance other than vehicle. o Parameter codes added to permit. • Discussions with permitee indicated that they had worked with the WiRO in the past to develop a list of possible BMPs and management changes to try and minimize pollutants leaving the site. They implemented a number of these practices over time —scrubbers on conveyors, street sweepers, etc. Also treied the possibility of collecting runoff for treatment, but cost of land for treatment and for the structural measures was very high. Even though some parameters still exceed benchmarks, it does appear that the reduction in values indicates that some positives have come from the permitee's actions. • Talked with Cindy Moore — DWQ Aquaitc Tox — about ammonia issues. They generally work in freshwater areas where they see no issues with values below 5 mg/L. Not much work in saltwaters. Given the values we are getting (most between 0 & 3) she felt the facility was okay. She also noted the dilution with their discharge location as minimizing any issues. She did indicate that monitoring should continue to keep them looking at the issues. Facility drains to the New Port River 21-31 in the White Oak River Basin, a class SC stream. 2014 Assessment Report shows no impairment, but the harbor is closed to fishing due to fecal levels which do not seem to be an issue from this facility. NC National Heritage review — No aquatic species threatened or endangered in the project area. One reptile (Diamondback Terrapin) listed as federal species of concern, but was given a global rank as being secure_ Within one mile of the site federal and state endangered species Atlantic Sturgeon and West Indian Manatee are noted. The accuracy of the mapping of these is listed as low and very low. Appears that the manatee has now been moved to threatened instead of endangered. There don't appear to be management plans in place through the US Fish and Wildlife Service for this area. WiRO — Draft permit and other info sent to region 5/02/18 for comments within 30 days. Brian Lamb visited the site 6/29/2018. Site was clean and in good condition. Brian noted high TP and COD numbers and that the facility asked for relief from tier process. Brian also noted that SD01 is representative and status should be granted for them. Permit has included provisions to monitor quarterly with ability in tier 3 to ask region to reset the benchmark numbers if appropriate so no other changes will be made to the permit. Given the TP issues and the fact that this facility handles phosphate materials it is appropriate to maintain a level of monitoring that will encourage continued review of BMPs for better control.

Just let me know the number to call you at. Below are some things I'd like to discuss. • General update on the facility and activities, especially things that may have changed since the permit renewal application was submitted in 2013. The site plan from 2013 seemed to indicate there was some additional potential lease area. Have additional activities been added here? This did not materialize. Lease area the same. • Update on monitoring efforts since the renewal application. It would be helpful if you could provide a summary of the data from since 2013, I'd also like to discuss management measures that you may have implemented since the monitoring I've looked at seems to continue to shw some benchmark excrescences. Summary data attached. https:lloutlook.office365.comlowa/?viewmodel=Read Messageltem&ltemlD=AAMkADgl YjdhZmlxLTMzMGYtNGU3Nil hNGU4LTY3M2E1 ODhm0GQxYgBGAAAAAAC 4/13/201 B RE: [Extemali RE: Stormwater Permit Renewal - NCS000520 - Bennett, Bradley Thanks BB Are there other or different materials on site now that should be accounted for as potential parameters in the monitoring? The products are the same. We are not shipping solid fertilizer oversees at the rate we once did. With recent changes to federal regs we will be moving toward electronic reporting of data. Our system can't handle the data right now, but in preparing for this we need to get accurate location info (lat/long) for all of your stormwater outfall points. We sample from one of the drop -in prior to the discharge location so we would need to know if you want the sample location or the discharge paint. Also Outfall 002 the sample location is below sea level and prevents a representative sample. I have attached a print out of information we currently have in our database for your facility. Can you review this and let me know if there are any changes/additions we need to make. We can discuss the renewal process and time frames from here. Any other issues, areas that you want to discuss.

To continue receiving email from this external sender. Please notify the sender of your @nutrien.com email address**** Hello, and first let me apologize for how long it has taken us to get going on your permit renewal. A number of issues over the last few years have led to a backlog,on renewal of our Individual permits. I would like to set up a time where I can call and talk with you or another appropriate contact about the renewal. I will be working on this process. Since the previous renewal application'came in back in 2013 I Ala guessing there may be some changes that we should discuss and possibly have documented for the renewal. I work part time so IlKil not in the office every day. In general I'm in the office Tuesday through Thursday but I can be available other days for a call if needed. Please let me know when we may be able to talk.

Please note that the invert of this Drop Inlet is -2.4. At this elevation seawater will be present resulting in a non -representative sample of the discharge. This drop inlet is the only one in which stormwater from the north and south sides of the western end of the Phosphate Storage Warehouse are combined prior to discharge.. Due to these physical conditions a representative sample of the discharge is not possible and we therefore request that the requirement to sample Outfall 200 be removed from the permit. Please do not hesitate to call me at 252-322-8283 should you have any questions concerning this. SincereI , p. D. Daniel Winstead III Environmental Engineer PCS Phosphate Pc: R. M.

It did not address wastewater alternatives. The Technical Memorandum, dated September 24, 2010, contains the alternatives analysis for wastewater. The Morehead City WWTP discharges to Calico Creek, classified as SC-HQW. As a saltwater receiving stream, it is available to take the PCS discharge, which has an effluent chloride concentration of 14,604 mg/L. Therefore, the option to connect this waste stream to the municipal plant (alternative #2 in the technical memorandum) is viable. More detailed information may be obtained from the Division's PERCS unit. • In considering waste stream alternatives, especially for the reverse osmosis option, the applicant should consider the use of a chloride crystallizer. This produces a chloride solid that may be landfilled. Reverse osmosis may become a feasible option if the problem of concentrate disposal can be overcome. • As stated on the final page of the technical memorandum, hydrogen sulfide removal produces most of the liquid waste steam. The option.of removing hydrogen sulfide without producing a liquid waste should be further investigated. Chlorides and dissolved solids would be virtually eliminated. • More detail is necessary in calculating the present value of each disposal alternative's capital and operating costs. The applicant must follow the guidance from the Division's website regarding engineering alternatives.

As discussed by phone, our objective for the meeting is to ensure that we address all concerns the regulatory agencies may have prior to submitting any required permit applications. Based on current design we will be pursuing a direct discharge permit for the scrubber effluent. Attached is my understanding of the Aquifer Protection Section's position concerning the proposed Sulfur Melter Project at the Morehead City Port. Please contact me if I have misrepresented your position on the project. Best regards, Danny Winstead (See attached file: Sulfur Melter Effluent.docx) I PotashCorp has performed an alternatives analysis which shows a direct discharge to surface waters is the most technologically and economically feasible alternative. Aquifer Protection defers comment on any direct discharge options to the Surface Water Protection Section. • PotashCorp is investigating design options to eliminate the proposed wet scrubber. if successful the resulting effluent stream would be.evaluated for land application. Aquifer Protection will not oppose land application of the resulting effluent if data supports this option without compromising Groundwater Standards.

He had sent me an email with a -list of questions. We won't need to modify anything related to the NCS permit. There will be no other pollutants of concern for stormwater that should trigger the need to modify the permit. Only issue may be pH, but that's already a requirement in our NCS permit for all their outfalls they are required to monitor. I advised he revise his SWP3. They will need an individual ww permit that we can combine the boiler blowdown under so that they are dealing_ with one permit for ww rather -than two.

PCS currently handles large volumes of molten sulfur at our Aurora Facility and at Radio Island. The material we currently handle is elemental sulfur with very few impurities. The impurities that exist remain with the molten sulfur and report to the sulfuric acid production units located at the Aurora site. The prilled material will be essentially the same as the molten sulfur we current process except that during the prilling process H2S is liberated from the sulfur prior to prilling. Once the sulfur prills are melted they will report to storage tanks and will'be maintained as molten sulfur. This molten sulfur will then be transported to Aurora by barge as we currently do from the Radio Island Facility. The prills will be melted using noncontact steam generated on site. The blowdown from the boilers is the only other output from the process. Please contact me with any other questions you may have concerning•this process.

Later, it shall be shown that this reduction in peak discharge leads to'an increase in the required volume of'storage.- Different timing characteristics of the runoff are evident for the four cases. The peak aischarge for the after development condition without SWM .occurs 0.1 hours earlier than,tne peak discharge for the before development condition. This decrease in time to peak is due to the decrease in the time -of -concentration, which reflects the increase in velocity of runoff due to the changes in land use. The time to peak for discharge control. Case 3, occurs 0.2 hours later than the time to peak for Case 1. This increase is due to the routing of the inflow through the detention basin. The time to peak for sediment control. Case 4, occurs 0.3 hours later than the time_to peak for discharge control, Case 3. because the inflow hyarograph is routed through a smaller weir, which is required to limit the discharge to a rate that is enough to control the bealoaa. The area under the hyarograph represents the volume of direct runoff, which is a function of the curve number, CN. Tne volume of direct runoff for the first case is less than the volume of direct runoff for the other three cases because the volume of direct runoff for case 1 was based on a CN of 75. while.the volumes of direct runoff for Cases 2, 3, and 4 were based on a CN of 85._ -Although Cases 2. 3, and 4 have the same volume of direct runoff, tnis runoff is manifested in different ways. This can be seen more readily in a flow -duration curve (see Figure 4). The peak discharge for the after development case without detention is nigher than the peak discharge for the before development condition. These higher discharges result is higher flow velocities. with some greater than 10 fps. Since the amount ut erosion increases exponentially wnen the velocity is Re: Fluoride � Subject: Re: Fluoride ��✓f� DPh� �— From: Nikki Remington <Nikki.Remington@NCMail.net> Date: Mon, 17 Mar 2008 15:09:26 -0500 To: Bethany Georgoulias <Bethany.Georgoulias@ncmail.net> 1AAa4,V-j 2 -S - CC: Connie Brower <connie.brower@ncmail.net> Hi Bethany, �. I was able to calculate a saltwater 1/2 FAV for fluoride using sodium fluoride as a surrogate (there is no available aquatic life data for fluoride alone). The number is 250 mg/L for the protection of saltwater aquatic life. However this value has a lower confidence level then the 6 mg/L previously calculated for FW. The saltwater number is based on an LC50 from one species (sheepshead minnow) while the freshwater number has a large amount of supporting data. You can use whichever number that you feel would be best suited for your site. Nikki Bethany Georgoulias wrote: Girls, I might have forgotten to ask about this one, but the other parameter I'm considering for a permitted discharge to SC waters is fluoride. We have a benchmark of 6 mg/l; is there a more appropriate one for saline waters? Thanks so much for the advice on ammonia. I'm drafting a stormwater permit with ammonia monitoring along with pH and temp., but no benchmarks for now so we can gather data. In fact, I'm omitting the benchmark for TKN in this case as well, since a constituent of that would be ammonia.

I'm wrapping up a request for our regional staff report and beginning to draft a permit, and I had some questions I'd like to go over. I called this morning and left you a message, so feel free to reach me by phone or simply respond by e-mail. Thank you so much for your help! Here are my questions: 1. Is there any mixing that happens at the Bulk Handling facility prior to export of materials, or is the product simply stored before shipping out? 2. The application notes the site treats, stores, or disposes of hazardous waste. What is the hazardous waste handled, and where/how is it stored? 3. I was out at the Port a couple years ago on a site visit with the regional office, and I think Layton Bedsole from the NCPA told us the stormwater collection system connections were (or were going to be?) disconnected from the SW infrastructure of the rest of the Port. Is that the case, or does some of the stormwater from PCS's storage facility still commingle with or join stormwater discharge from other parts of the Port? 4. The manufacturing plant near Aurora reports ammonia emissions in its TRI, and DAP and MAP are noted as products at this site on the permit application. Is ammonia a possible stormwater contaminant from the fertilizers stored here? What about other nitrogen compounds (nitrates or TKN, which are monitored as part of PCS-Aurora's wastewater permit)? Thanks again for your help. If you could provide this information in the next week, I would appreciate it. Once I get this information and the regional office completes the staff report (usually in about a month or so), we will send the company a draft permit.

Complete analyses of water contents are necessary and restrictions on water loading are required. This is important on such wastewater additives as that from processes such as high fructose sugar processing from com. Water containing high levels of calcium, sodium or other salts can create havoc on soil structure and filth over time unless properly balanced within specific soils and allowed a slow leaching process that is not detrimental to ground or surface waters. . Other organic sources Other organic sources may be applied to crop land. Kill floors in beef processing plants often land apply blood byproducts in the industry. Again, strict record keeping must be maintained in order to balance the byproduct load onto land. Like biosolids, these organic sources must have certain possible pollutants and vector limitations. With any form of nitrogen fertilizer, there is a general check list to consider before use. When using nitrogen do: avoid excessive applications; time applications; know your soil types; restrict excess mineral release; rotate crops; inhibit fertilizer release or transformafion; incorporate surface applications; and control surface application at times when runoff potential is high. Phosphate fertilizers Commercial. fertilizers with phosphate are derived from phosphate rock deposits mined in the southeastern United States or from deposits near the Idaho/Wyoming border. These fertilizers are produced by a reaction with phosphoric acid, with or without ammonia during the process. Ammoniated phosphates may have certain advantages over calcium phosphates due to soil reaction differences. Differences in color and grade exist among phosphate fertilizers. Ammonium phosphates such as MAP (monoammonium phosphate, 11-52-0 or 10-60-0) or DAP (diammonium phosphate, 18-46-0) supply nitrogen along with phosphate. These formulations tend to acidify the soil zone adjacent to the phosphate band, which can increase the phosphate availability in high pH soils. They also tend to be more soluble than calcium phosphates. Both products are dry, granular, dark brown -gray -green fertilizers. If used next to the seed, MAP is preferred over DAP (at levels higher than 100 Ib1A) as the nitrogen in DAP is more prone to forming free ammonia in high pH soils; Incorporation of either helps the positional availability of both the nitrogen and phosphorus as well as limits runoff. 10-34-0 (APP) The most. common liquid phosphate fertilizer in use, APP is a clear, green fertilizer from superphosphoric acid and ammonia. Used as a starter fertilizer in bands two inches below and two inches to the side of seed, it can also be used as a 'pop-up" fertlizer with rates of eight gallons or less safe for small grains. This fertilizer has a higher cost per unit of plant food than most dry fertilizer grades. 6-18-6 and other complete liquid grades These green products are for farmers wanting N, P, K and chloride so the use is limited. Other micronutrients are easily blended with these fertilizers but the limitation remains the higher salt Index so these formulations are usually used as pop-up fertilizers with complete fertilizers applied in a 2 x 2 band. Phosphate containing fertilizer, triple superphosphate This dry, gray, granualar fertilizer can be broadcast, banded or knifed in soil. The analysis is 044-0 to 046-0 but is -seldom used when nitrogen fertilizer is also needed.

Page 1 of 11 ,,A NCS000520 Description of Activities: This facility is a bulk materials handling facility that unloads, stores, and loads solid and liquid phosphate fertilizer bound for export from its manufacturing facility in Aurora, NC. No processing occurs at this facility. The biggest question to address is whether incidental stormwater contact with bulk product materials at this facility should be considered "contaminated non -process wastewater" as defined in 40 CFR §418.1 I for the Phosphate Subcategory of the Effluent Guidelines for the Fertilizer Manufacturing Category. if so, effluent limits for phosphorus and fluoride could apply. This site is not a manufacturing facility and stores all materials inside; however, this location stores products that come directly from its manufacturing facility in Aurora, NC. At that site (covered under NPDES wastewater permit NC0003255), stormwater effluent limits apply to precipitation runoff "which, during manufacturing or processing, comes into incidental contact with any raw material, intermediate product, finished product, by-product or waste product." The effluent guidelines pertain specifically to manufacturing facilities, and it is reasonable to expect this site to pose much less of an impact to stormwater runoff than the Aurora facility; however, precipitation still comes into contact with the same material (which is tracked in and out of the domes during transport). The draft permit for the storage facility at the Port does not propose any limits (only benchmarks), but if there are persistent problems at this site, stormwater discharge I imits could be supported in future permits on the basis of those federal guidelines.

Page 5 of 11 NCS000520 Central Office Review Summary: 1. Owner's Other Permits: • NDPES Wastewater/Stormwater Permit NCO003255 — PCS Phosphate Company, Inc. (North of Aurora). Limits apply to stormwater, discharged from at least four outfalls. For outfall 004, the wastewater permit references "contaminated non -process wastewater" defined in 40 CFR §418.11 (c), which would include precipitation runoff contacting the raw material; intermediate/final product; by-product; or waste product. Limits on 004 are more stringent than the federal guidelines for both Total Phosphorus (TP) and fluoride (probably because of receiving waters — Pamlico River in Tar -Pam Basin). • Numerous various other permits (Non -Discharge Wastewater Recycle System, High -Rate Infiltration, State Stormwater, etc.) for Aurora and Kinston sites. Kinston site covered under general stormwater permit NCG060027. 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 the PCS facility are not expected to be a source. The reviewer determined bacteriological monitoring is not appropriate at this time. However, TMDL language in the permit does note 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 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. Stormwater Effluent Guidelines: See "Description of Activities" section and excerpts from federal regulations above. 40 CFR §418. t 1 stormwater effluent limits apply to phosphate manufacturing 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 only requires monitoring for TP and Fluoride, which have effluent limits applicable to manufacturers in the Phosphate Subcategory of the Fertilizer Manufacturing Category. The 2006 Draft MSGP proposes to add TSS monitoring with a benchmark (100 mg/1). Location: This site discharges stormwater to the Restricted Morehead City Harbor Area, which is 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: None since being permitted under NCPA Morehead City's Page 6 of 11 .' 'NCS000520 Stormwater Permit. 9. Analytical Monitoring Notes: Results submitted from Port's stormwater monitoring results. One of the outfalls draining runoff from PCS (outfall 103), has been monitored as part of the Port Authority's NPDES Stormwater Permit NCS000173. There were significantly elevated COD (above 1400 mg/1) recorded. The 12/11/03 sample suggested total nitrogen could be mostly TKN (organic variety). Some TP levels have been recorded above benchmark. 10. Qualitative Monitoring Notes: NCPA's Morehead City Port Qualitative Monitoring reports in 2004-2006 for outfall 103 documented few problems with floating solids, clarity, or other issues.

Port permit Data Not Collected renewal pending; awaiting issuance of this separate individual permit for PCS facility. Page 8 of 11 NCS000520 Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring: Fertilizer products stored at this facility are ammoniated forms of phosphorus (source of both nitrogen and phosphorus) and contain trace amounts of fluoride. Recommend Total Phosphorus (TP), Total Nitrogen (TN), Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN), ammonia, fluoride, TSS, COD, pH, and temperature monitoring. Based on discussions with DWQ staff in the Planning Section, there is not an appropriate benchmark for ammonia for saline waters at this time (toxicity highly variable depending on pH and temperature; Final Acute Value (FAV) can change significantly based on these conditions). Planning staff recommend monitoring only for ammonia, along with pH and temperature, to assess toxicity potential after more data collected (C. Brower, 3/11/08). Because ammonia is a component of TKN, the TKN benchmark will not apply either. The draft permit keeps the 30 mg/l TN benchmark to serve as trigger for investigating potential problems of excessive nitrogen. See explanation of what TN measures: TN = TKN + (nitrate + nitrite); TKN = ammonia + organic nitrogen. Measuring TN and TKN will provide information about nitrate/nitrite levels. Also, measuring ammonia will indicate how much of TKN is organic. The FAV for fluoride for freshwater (6 mg/1) has a lot of supporting data; however, a benchmark value for fluoride in saltwater (250 mg/l) could only be derived by using sodium fluoride as a surrogate (no aquatic life data based on fluoride alone) and based on the LC50 for one species (N. Remington, 3/17/08). In this case, the daily maximum effluent limitation for fluoride from contaminated non -process wastewater (which includes precipitation runoff that comes into incidental contact with finished product) for the phosphatic fertilizer industry is in between: 75 mg/i. The draft permit proposes this value as the fluoride benchmark instead because not enough information is available to justify a lower trigger for increased monitoring of stormwater discharge to saline waters. However, future reviewers should compare data collected during the permit term to the lower %z FAV and discuss further investigation into toxicity potential with Planning staff if there are concerns. TP, fluoride, and TSS are pollutants of concern and are consistent with proposed EPA Multisector Permit parameters monitored for this industry. COD monitoring is based on significantly elevated levels from past monitoring at one of the outfalls. Ammonia monitoring is recommended based on product composition. The company asserted ammonia should be chemically bound and not available; however, the reviewer noted in researching fertilizers that DAP is more prone to forming free ammonia in high pH soils. While runoff will come into contact with material tracked out around the site rather than result from agricultural land application, it is premature to characterize how or if ammonia release might be influenced by conditions around the Port facility. Discussions with permittee: March 17, 2008: Danny Winstead, PCS Phosphate Aurora, (252) 322-8283: 1. Q: The Aurora manufacturing plant uses a lot of ammonia (see TRI report); DAP (Diammonium phosphate) and MAP (monoammonium phosphate) also noted as products on the application. Is ammonia a possible contaminant? Are there other fertilizer products going through here? a. ANSWER: Ammonia should be chemically bound in product. [Reviewer still recommends monitoring to gather data during first permit term.] Contact also verified this facility does not receive urea or other nitrogen products from Potash Corporation, 2. Q: Is anything mixed at this site? a. ANSWER: No — no blending. Product just stored and moved. 3. Q What kind of hazardous waste is generated or stored, and how is it stored? a. ANSWER: Very small amount. Mostly aerosol cans from painting (facility maintenance), maybe some fluorescent ballasts from light replacements. Stored inside at a collection location. Page 9 of 11 NCS000520 4. Q Have all connections to Port's stormwater drainage system been closed off? a. ANSWER: Yes. The pipe running under the railroad that connected to the rest of the Port was blocked off. This is the only connection that Danny knows of. Asked about monitoring outfall 200 because discharge is to tidally -influenced marsh area that is difficult to access. Should be able to sample at catch basin (201) just upstream of outfall. (Danny said some of the catch basins have been paved over at the PCS site, but he thought these were in the northeast corner of the property.)

Secondary Containment, Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is required for: bulk storage of liquid materials; storage in any amount of Section 313 of Title III ofthe-Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (BABA) water priority chemicals; and storage in any amount of hazardous substances to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. A table or summary of all such tanks and stored materials and their associated secondary containment areas shall be maintained. If the secondary containment devices are connected directly to stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices which shall be secured closed with a locking mechanism, and any stormwater that accumulates in the containment area shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the accumulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be uncontaminated by the material stored within the containment area. Records documenting the individual making the observation, the description of the accumulated stormwater and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a period of five (5) 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 the potential of pollutant sources to contribute PartII Page 2 of 10 Permit No. NCS000520 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 SPRP. < 17 4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekee" pingProgram.-;A preventative maintenance program shall be developed. The,program shall document schedules of inspections and maintenance activities of storm'wate`r-control systems, plant equipment and systems. Inspection of material handlirig areas and'regular cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program. 5. Employee Training.

Responsibilities for all components of the Plan shall be documented and position assignments provided. Plan Amendment. The permittee shall amend the Plan whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, or maintenance that 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 annual update shall include an updated list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous three years, or the notation that no spills have occurred. The annual update shall include re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non- stormwater discharges. The Director may notify the permittee when the Plan does not meet one or more of the minimum requirements of the permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee shall submit a time schedule to the Director for modifying the Plan to meet minimum requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with Part I1I, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3) to the Director that the changes have been made. Part II Page 3 of 10 Permit No. NCS000520 Facility Inspection Program. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur at a minimum on a semi-annual schedule, once during the first half of the year (January through June) and once during the second half (July through December), with at least 60-days separating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently). 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. These facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring required in Part II of this permit. 9. Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Plan. 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 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 years and made available to the Director or the Director's authonzed,representative immediately upon request. Part II rage 4 of 10 Permit No. NCS000520 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. l 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 a discharge begins again within the next 10 hours. /\ Table 1.

Conduct a stormwater management inspection of the facility within two weeks of receiving sampling results. 2. Identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedence. 3. Identify potential, and select the specific: source controls, operational controls, or physical improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern, or to bring concentrations to within the benchmark range. R. 4. Implement the selected actions within two months•of the•inspection. 5. Record each instance of a Tier One response in the St r water Pollution Prevention Plan. Include the date and value of the benchmark exceedence, the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the selected act noes, an he date the selected actions were implemented. Tier Two If: During the term of this peftni� t� e`sampling results are above the benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall two times in a row (consecutive): Then: The permittee shall: 1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier One. 2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring for all parameters at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples. Monthly (analytical and qualitative) monitoring shall continue until three consecutive sample results are below the benchmark values, or within the benchmark range, for all parameters at that outfall. 3. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee is required to submit a monthly monitoring report indicating "No Flow." 4. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. Part It Page 7 of 10 Permit No. NCS000520 During the term of this permit, if the sampling results exceed the benchmark value, or are outside the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at any specific outfall on more than four occasions, DWQ may: • Require that the permittee increase or decrease the monitoring frequency for the remainder of the permit; • require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls; • require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures; or • require that the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for the No Exposure Exclusion. This site discharges to waters contiguous to impaired�waters experiencing problems with fecal coliform bacteria. If a Total Maximum Daily Load,(-TMDL) is approved for this segment of the Newport River, the permittee may be required to%monitor for"the pollutant(s) of concern in the future and submit results to the Division of Water Quality. 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 theYrequired level of control, the permittee will be required to (1) develop a strategy'f r implementing appropriate BMPs, and (2) submit a timetable for incorporation of those BMPs into tie permitted Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. Part 11 Page 8 of 10 Permit No, NCS000520 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 in Table 4, and during the analytical monitoring event. Qualitative monitoring is for the purpose of evaluating the effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and assessing new sources of stormwater pollution. 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. Table 4.

Part VI Page 5 of Pages Re: Morehead City Port and PCS Phosphate .' Subject: Re: Morehead City Port and PCS Phosphate From: Linda Willis <Linda.Willis@ncmai1.net> Date: Mon, 21 Apr 2008 16:55:15 -0400 To: Bethany Georgoulias <Bethany.Georgoulias@ncmail.net> CC: ed.beck@ncmail.net 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 to outfall 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 gone. 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.

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.

Bev Perdue announced Wednesday that PCS Phosphate has "voluntarily agreed to abandon" its plan to build a sulfur -melting facility at the state port here. The governor also used the opportunity to sign an executive order "to assure the public that North Carolina ports intend to be good neighbors." PCS had sought to build a $95 million facility with the promise of 18 jobs on state port property that fronts the south side of Calico Creek. PCS, the port's largest customer, had said the facility was critical to the its Aurora mining operations. According to wire reports, PCS will go ahead with plans to build a warehouse at the port for dry sulfur pellets. If allowed, the facility would be limited to 150 feet in height — the same size as smokestacks included in the original smelting proposal. Speaking to a crowd of more than 100 comprised mainly of opponents of the plan, many dressed in bright green T-shirts bearing the slogan, "Sulfurious," assembled in a 77,000-square-foot warehouse at the N.C. Port of Morehead City, Gov. Perdue's announcement was greeted with a rousing ovation. "You have proven that one or two people can turn into thousands of people," Gov. Perdue said. "Had you all not spoken out I'm not sure what would be happening here today." Gov. Perdue said the decision was the action of "a company that cares about North Carolina" and has had a significant and positive economic impact here. "This company has a big, long history in North Carolina and is one of the biggest users of this port," Gov. Perdue said. The governor said she heard numerous complaints about the lack of public notification throughout the environmental permitting process but she defended PCS. "I do know there was a public notification process that went on," she said. "There was never any intention and never any secrecy about this project." The comment prompted a round of boos and jeers but Gov. Perdue continued, saying she understood concerns about safety and the environment and the livelihood tourism provides here. 1 She criticized Rep. Pat McElraft, R-Carteret, for backing regulatory reform legislation the governor vetoed that would have put new limitations on certain environmental rules. Gov. Perdue said Rep. McElraft was "successful in leading the effort" to override her veto. That weakens rules requiring public notification of environmentally hazardous projects, she said. "I will always say that's wrong for North Carolina," Gov. Perdue said. "Permitting decisions must be made based on science and with the full knowledge and participation of the public." Gov. Perdue said she normally prefers to let state rules and regulations run their course but the fact that the sulfur -melting facility was proposed for state-owned property prompted her to get involved in this case. She said the ports must be good neighbors, that's why last week she asked the ports authority to "take a time out" for information to be gathered and presented so that she could make a decision with public input. Gov. Perdue said she has no intention to "badmouth" PCS but intends to help the company find an alternative location in another part of the state without the same environmental concerns as Carteret County. Those negotiations will be a "transparent and open process," she said.

Posted: 7:59 PM Jul 18, 2011 Reporter: Dave Jordan ® Opposition To Possible PC5 Sulfur Plant In Morehead City Morehead City is hoping to stop the building of a sulfur melting plant along its waters. PCS Phosphate proposed the construction of the plant at the port of Morehead City next to the city yacht basin. Last week Morehead City unanimously passed a resolution to stop the development of the sulfur plant. Morehead City mayor Gerald Jones says he is against it because of a lack of communication, lack of information and the location of the plant. Jones says because the site is on a state port, PCS was not obligated to contact the city for any building permits, so he didn't find out about the project until June 7th. Concerned citizens and businesses in the area have joined together to form the Clean County Coalition in opposition of the plant. PCS Phosphate says this plant will add 18 jobs to the port where PCS already employs 13 people, and they are required by state law to release no objectionable odors beyond the facility boundary. The Clean County Coalition will hold a public meeting Tuesday, July 19th from 5:30-8pm at the Crystal Coast Civic Center.

ABSOLUTE SENSITIVITIES OF INPUTS IN BED LOAD EQUATIONS In order to determine the importance of the input parameters of the seven bed load equations, it is first necessary to determine the sensitivity of each input parameter. This is done by differentiating each bed load equation with. respect to each input parameter. In order to be consistent, all bed loads were calculated in pounds per second per foot of channel widtn (lbs/sec-ft) before computing the sensitivities. The resulting sensitivities for each -- equation are presented in Appendix A. Once the absolute sensitivities are computed, they can be easily transformed into relative sensitivities with Eq. 8, which makes it possible to compare the relative importance of the input parameters of the seven bed load equations. RESULTS The relative sensitivities of the input parameters of the seven bed load equations were computed using the computer program of Appendix B. The program calculates the relative sensitivities for a given set of channel and sediment Georgoulias, Bethany From: Bennett, Bradley Sent: Monday, July 18, 2011 10:16 AM To: Pickle, Ken; Georgoulias, Bethany Subject: FW: Citizens to meet on sulfur handling, melting facility Attachments: ATT00001..c Hey Guys, Susan talked to me about this one on Friday.

Citizens opposed then to the prospect of a liquefied natural gas facility being developed on port property Radio Island joined with Carteret Citizens Allied to Protect the Environment and dug in for a fight. C-CAPE first formed to keep an ethanol plant off Radio Island and rallied again in 2001 to stop the LNG facility, an effort that proved successful more than a year later when El Paso Merchant Energy Group pulled out of a three-year option to lease the property for the project. Now a new citizens group is rising in opposition to a sulfur handling and melting facility being proposed by PCS Phosphate. "Hopefully, this will be successful. This (project) is just as dumb as LNG," said Beaufort resident John C. Nelson, who served as C-CAPE president during the LNG controversy. Nelson' plans to help where he can with the latest efforts, but this time the opposition is being led by the newly formed Clean County Coalition. The group is developing a website that will launch soon at cleancounty.org and has planned a public forum to be held 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 19 at the Crystal Coast Civic Center in Morehead City. And one of the first steps they are looking at is a court order to suspend progress on the project, which is already well into the permitting process. "We need an injunction against PCS Phosphate to stop this process," said Leigh Johnson, one of the organizers for the Clean County Coalition. V Currently, PCS Phosphate Co. primarily uses the port's Radio Island terminal to receive and store shipments of molten sulfur and to transfer it to its facility in Aurora, where it mines phosphate ore and manufactures phosphoric acid, solid and liquid fertilizers, animal feed supplements and other products, according to the proposed project's environmental assessment. It is proposing to build a new facility at the north side of the main port terminal and adjacent to the Morehead City Yacht. Basin. The new facility would involve unloading, storing and melting formed solid sulfur, and also continuing to receive molten sulfur. Opponents say the new processes of handling and melting solid sulfur bring potential new hazards and concerns such as smell, air quality from emissions, impact on the adjacent waterways and the hazards from the corrosive sulfur and sulfuric acid. While the port itself is industrial in nature, it sits at the edge of Morehead City's downtown area. Just across the high-rise bridge is the waterfront town of Beaufort. It's an area mixed with residential and commercial property, historic districts, beaches and boat ramps. It's not the place for such a project, said Leigh Johnson, one of the organizers of the Clean County Coalition. "This is right in the heart of a tourist area; we can't have this," Johnson said. To date, the towns of Beaufort and Morehead City have gone on record in opposition to the project, and the boards of directors for the Carteret County Economic Development Council and Downtown Morehead City Revitalization Association have adopted resolutions opposing the project as well. The State Ports Authority has made public a letter in response to project opposition, noting a significant investment in the port and refuting accusations of secrecy. PCS Phosphate is the port's largest and longest customer, and the 40-year partnership has generated and sustained jobs and investment in both Morehead city and Aurora, the SPA said. "The new project proposed by PCS would bring $90 million of investment to the Port of Morehead City in plant equipment and facilities, in addition to jobs and significant investment to this community. North Carolina is in competition with two other states for this proposed project," wrote State Ports Authority CEO Thomas J. Eager. Eager said the proposed sulfur facility has a top -rate design. "The Authority and our customers are committed to protecting safety and quality of life for the communities in which we operate," he wrote. "The design and engineering of the proposed facility exceeds environmental and safety requirements. Though not required, PCS added additional equipment to this proposed project to ensure there would be no odor. Similar facilities operating at the ports of Galveston, (Texas), and Vancouver, Canada, operate cleanly and without this extra measure Morehead City will possess." Eager also said the solid sulfur will be stored in domes rather than using the open storage as do other similar facilities. The closed -handling equipment and storage facilities have an intrinsically safe design to prevent incidents associated with sulfur dust, he said. That's little comfort to Jet Matthews, developer and manager of the Morehead City Yacht Basin, whose boat -lined docks are only separated from the project site by a channel. Matthews questions the impact of any investment and says the potential hazards far outweigh any benefit. 'It's not an investment in the community," he said. "It's an investment in steel, and stacks and cement and a facility to melt this solid sulfur.' The environmental assessment said the project would include the construction of two 2,500-tans-per-day sulfur melters, two new storage dome structures, two new 15,000 tons liquid sulfur storage tanks, and other facilities. Parts of the facility could reach as high as 150 feet. The project also calls for the extension of the current PCS Phosphate barge berth and the channel leading into the Morehead city Yacht Basin. As an adjacent property owner, Matthews received a notice of intent regarding the project earlier this month. It was the first he had heard of the project, which had already received air quality and other permits'and into the point of applying for a modification to a major Coastal Area Management Act permit. It's a process that began a year ago and it's only been over the past week, following a report in a local newspaper, that the project has become widely known. Matthews said that is unacceptable for a project of this magnitude. He and others suggest a cloud of secrecy and efforts to push a project through to avoid public opposition. "The problem here is that what they've done is very sneaky," he said. The Ports Authority says it has acted 'in an open, consistent' manner and Eager said it determined, based on the N.C. Environmental Policy Act criteria, that an environmental impact statement was needed. The assessment was completed in December and a 30-day public and regulatory comment period followed. Once comments were addressed, a Finding of No Significant Impact was issued, which allowed permitting to proceed. Frank Tursi of the North Carolina Coastal Federation said an obligatory notice of the public review was posted on an N.C. Department of Administration State Environmental Review Clearinghouse website just before the Christmas holiday. Few likely ever saw it, he said, and a lack of information and last-minute public knowledge of the project has left the community suspicious. "A lot of concems arise from suspicion," Tursi said. Nelson said they saw the same lack of transparency in the process with the LNG project. "(Secrecy) never works. You'd think they would have learned. It makes them look twice as bad and twice as stupid," he said. The SPA letter describes a vetting process that began last summer with a PCS-initiated kick-off meeting attended by state, local and primarily state agencies. In January, it said, the environmental assessment was received by Morehead City, Beaufort and Carteret County officials. There have been questions about how much local officials have known, but because the project is on state property and permitting is through the state agencies, it has been said that local involvement is limited. On Thursday, the EDC Board of Directors adopted its resolution opposing the project and issued a statement that explains the confidentiality behind some of the project discussions. The EDC first became aware of the project on April 28 when Executive Director Myles Stempin was asked to attend a confidential project meeting at the N.C. Department of Commerce offices in Raleigh. PCS Phosphate made a presentation at the time and noted thaf they were also looking at two out-of-state locations. According to the statement, Stempin asked questions about the plant and the rationale for the location between two towns and in a tourism -driven area_ However, the Department of Commerce agreed to identify incentives to support the project. On June 3 the Department of Commerce recommended approval of a One NC Fund Grant. Stempin continued to question the environmental aspects of the project and contacted an economic development professional in Galveston about the sulfur facility there. The EDC said its executive committee was briefed on the project June 9 and then county officials were notified of the project and the possible request for a county match for the incentive grant. County commissioners required a meeting with company engineers, and local officials tour the Galveston facility prior to consideration of any incentives. According to the EDC board, no meetings were ever held with local and county officials and PCS Phosphate. This was due to the N.C. Commerce requirement that projects eligible for incentives remain confidential, with no public discussion, until a formal announcement is made by the agency. While such confidentiality is standard in economic development, the EDC board said it doesn't mean a project is good for the county. "Rest assured, the Carteret County Economic Development Council would not support any industry that would jeopardize our fragile coastal environment and is not compatible with our county," it said.

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 a discharge begins again within the next 10 hours.` Table 1.

Permit Actions The permit may be modi ed vo d and reissued, or terminated for cause. The notification of planned changes or anticipated noncompliancey y ' does not stay an 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 permittee only when the operation is necessary to achieve compliance with theconditions 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. 3. B33_ sing 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. NCS000520 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 C. 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.

Page 1 of 11 NCS000520 Description of Activities: r This facility is a bulk materials handling facility that unloads, stores, and loads solid and liquid phosphate fertilizer bound for export from its manufacturing facility in Aurora, NC. No processing occurs at this facility. The biggest question to address is whether incidental stormwater contact with bulk product materials at this facility should be considered "contaminated non -process wastewater" as defined in 40 CFR §418.11 for the Phosphate Subcategory of the Effluent Guidelines for the Fertilizer Manufacturing Category. If so, effluent limits for phosphorus and fluoride could apply. This site is not a manufacturing facility and stores all materials inside; however, this location stores products that come directly from its manufacturing facility in Aurora, NC. At that site (covered under NPDES wastewater permit NC0003255), stormwater effluent limits apply to precipitation runoff "which, during manufacturing or processing, comes into incidental contact with any raw material, intermediate product, finished product, by-product or waste product." The effluent guidelines pertain specifically to manufacturing facilities, and it is reasonable to expect this site to pose much less of an impact to stormwater runoff than the Aurora facility; however, precipitation still comes into contact with the same material (which is tracked in and out of the domes during transport). The draft permit for the storage facility at the Port does not propose any limits (only benchmarks), but if there are persistent problems at this site, stormwater discharge limits could be supported in future permits on the basis of those federal guidelines.

Page 5 of l 1 NCS000520 Central Office Review Summary: 1. Owner's Other Permits: • NDPES Wastewater/Stormwater Permit NCO003255 — PCS Phosphate Company, Inc. (North of Aurora). Limits apply to stormwater, discharged from at least four outfalls. For outfall 004, the wastewater permit references "contaminated non -process wastewater" defined in 40 CFR §418.11 (c), which would include precipitation runoff contacting the raw material; intermediate/final product; by-product; or waste product. Limits on 004 are more stringent than the federal guidelines for both Total Phosphorus (TP) and fluoride (probably because of receiving waters — Pamlico River in Tar -Pam Basin). • Numerous various other permits (Non -Discharge Wastewater Recycle System, High -Rate Infiltration, State Stormwater, etc.) for Aurora and Kinston sitcs. Kinston site covered under general stormwater permit NCG060027. 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 the PCS facility are not expected to be a source. The reviewer determined bacteriological monitoring is not appropriate at this time. However, TMDL language in the permit does note 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 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. Stormwater Effluent Guidelines: See "Description of Activities" section and excerpts from federal regulations above. 40 CFR §418.11 stormwater effluent limits apply to phosphate manufacturing 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 only requires monitoring for TP and Fluoride, which have effluent limits applicable to manufacturers in the Phosphate Subcategory of the Fertilizer Manufacturing Category. The 2006 Draft MSGP proposes to add TSS monitoring with a benchmark (100 mg/1). 7. Location: This site discharges stormwater to the Restricted Morehead City Harbor Area, which is classified as SC waters, Note that the section of the Newport River contiguous to the restricted harbor area is classified SA; HQW. 8. Industrial Chanes Since Previous Permit: None since being permitted under NCPA Morehead City's Page 6 of 11 NCS000520 Stohnwater Permit. 9. Analytical Monitoring Notes: Results submitted from Port's stormwater monitoring results. One of the outfalls draining runoff from PCS (outfall 103), has been monitored as part of the Port Authority's NPDES Stormwater Permit NCS000173. There were significantly elevated COD (above 1400 mgll) recorded. The 12/11/03 sample suggested total nitrogen could be mostly TKN (organic variety). Some TP levels have been recorded above benchmark. 10. Qualitative Monitoring Notes: NCPA's Morehead City Port Qualitative Monitoring reports in 2004-2006 for outfall 103 documented few problems with floating solids, clarity, or other issues.

Port permit Data Not Collected renewal pending; awaiting issuance of this separate individual permit for PCS facility. Page 8 of 11 NCS000520 ' Permit Recommendations; Analytical Monitoring: Fertilizer products stored at this facility are ammoniated forms of phosphorus (source of both nitrogen and phosphorus) and contain trace amounts of fluoride. Recommend Total Phosphorus (TP), Total Nitrogen (TN), Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN), ammonia, fluoride, TSS, COD, pH, and temperature monitoring. Based on discussions with DWQ staff in the Planning Section, there is not an appropriate benchmark for ammonia for saline waters at this time (toxicity highly variable depending on pH and temperature; Final Acute Value (FAV) can change significantly based on these conditions). Planning staff recommend monitoring only for ammonia, along with pH and temperature, to assess toxicity potential after more data collected (C. Brower, 3/11 /08). Because ammonia is a component of TKN, the TKN benchmark will not apply either. The draft permit keeps the 30 mg/l TN benchmark to serve as trigger for investigating potential problems of excessive nitrogen. See explanation of what TN measures: TN = TKN + (nitrate + nitrite); TKN = ammonia + organic nitrogen. Measuring TN and TKN will provide information about nitrate/nitrite levels. Also, measuring ammonia will indicate how much of TKN is organic. The '/z FAV for fluoride for freshwater (6 mg/l) has a lot of supporting data; however, a benchmark value for fluoride in saltwater (250 mg/l) could only be derived by using sodium fluoride as a surrogate (no aquatic life data based on fluoride alone) and based on the LC50 for one species (N. Remington, 3/17/08). In this case, the daily maximum effluent limitation for fluoride from contaminated non -process wastewater (which includes precipitation runoff that comes into incidental contact with finished product) for the phosphatic fertilizer industry is in between: 75 mg/l. The draft permit proposes this value as the fluoride benchmark instead because not enough information is available to justify a lower trigger for increased monitoring of stormwater discharge to saline waters. However, future reviewers should compare data collected during the permit term to the lower''/2 FAV and discuss further investigation into toxicity potential with Planning staff if there are concerns. TP, fluoride, and TSS are pollutants of concern and are consistent with proposed EPA Multisector Permit parameters monitored for this industry. COD monitoring is based on significantly elevated levels from past monitoring at one of the outfalls. Ammonia monitoring is recommended based on product composition. The company asserted ammonia shouId be chemically bound and not available; however, the reviewer noted in researching fertilizers that DAP is more prone to forming free ammonia in high pH soils. While runoff will come into contact with material tracked out around the site rather than result from agricultural land application, it is premature to characterize how or if ammonia release might be influenced by conditions around the Port facility. Discussions with permittee: March 17, 2008: Danny Winstead, PCS Phosphate Aurora, (252) 322-8283: 1. Q: The Aurora manufacturing plant uses a lot of ammonia (see TRI report); DAP (Diammonium phosphate) and MAP (monoammonium phosphate) also noted as products on the application. Is ammonia a possible contaminant? Are there other fertilizer products going through here? a. ANSWER: Ammonia should be chemically bound in product. [Reviewer still recommends monitoring to gather data during first permit term.] Contact also verified this facility does not receive urea or other nitrogen products from Potash Corporation. 2. Q: Is anything mixed at this site? a. ANSWER: No — no blending. Product just stored and moved. 3. Q What kind of hazardous waste is generated or stored, and how is it stored? a. ANSWER: Very small amount. Mostly aerosol cans from painting (facility maintenance), maybe some fluorescent ballasts from light replacements. Stored inside at a collection location. Page 9 of 11 NCS000520 4. Q Have all connections to Port's stormwater drainage system been closed off? a. ANSWER: Yes. The pipe running under the railroad that connected to the rest of the Port was blocked off. This is the only connection that Danny knows of. Asked about monitoring outfall 200 because discharge is to tidally -influenced marsh area that is difficult to access. Should be able to sample at catch basin (201) just upstream of outfall. (Danny said -some of -the catch basins have been paved over at the PCS site, but he thought these were in the northeast corner of the property.)

Secondary Containment; Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is required for: bulk storage of liquid materials; storage in any amount of Section 313 of Title III of,the:Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority chemicals; and storage in any amount of hazardous substances to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. A table or summary of all such tanks and stored materials and their associated secondary containment areas shall be maintained, If the secondary containment devices are connected directly to stormwater conveyance systems, the, connection shall be controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices which shall be secured closed with a locking mechanism, and any stormwater that accumulates in the containment area shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam, outfail staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the accumulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be uncontaminated by the material stored within the containment area. Records documenting the individual making the observation, the description of the accumulated stormwater and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a period of five (5) years. 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. NCS000520 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 storrrtwater 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 SPRP. 4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeptng Program. _ A preventative maintenance program shall be developed. The program shall document schedules of inspections and maintenance activities of storri'iwa' r-control systems, plant equipment and systems. Inspection of material handlin&eas'atid regular cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program.::' 5. Employee Training. Training schedules shall,, -fie developed and training provided at a minimum on an annual basis.on-pmper spill response and cleanup procedures and preventative maintenance: �actirvities"for,all personnel involved in any of the facility's operations that have the potentiaillo contaminate stormwater runoff. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the training shall be identified. 6. Responsible Party. T1iestormwater 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 that 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 annual update shall include an updated list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous three years, or the notation that no spills have occurred. The annual update shall include re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non- stormwater discharges. The Director may notify the permittee when the Plan does not meet one or more of the minimum requirements of the permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee shall submit a time schedule to the Director for modifying the Plan to meet minimum requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with Part Ill, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3) to the Director that the changes have been made. Part II Page 3 of 10 Permit No. NCS000520 8. Facility Inspection Program. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur at a minimum on a semi-annual schedule, once during the first half of the year (January through June) and once during the second half (July through December), with at least 60-days separating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently). 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. These facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring required in Part I1 of this permit. 9. Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Plan. _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 actions taken to implement BMPs associated with the industrial activities;: including vehicle maintenance activities. Such documentation shall be kept an;site for a period of five years and made available to the Director or the Director's authorized°.representative immediately upon request. A Part Il Page 4 of 10 Permit No. NCS000520 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 a discharge begins again within the next 10 hours.

Point Source Discharge of Stormwater Any discernible, confined and discrete conveyance including, but.h6t specifically limited to, any pipe, ditch, channel, tunnel, conduit, well, or discrete fissure from which,stormwate' nis.,or may be discharged to waters of the state. 19. Representative Storm Event 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 incheshas;occurred. A single storm event may contain up to 10 consecutive hours of no precipitation. For example,,if it'raini for.2 hours without producing any collectable discharge, and then stops, a sample may be collected, if a rain' 'producing a discharge begins again within the next 10 hours. 20. Representative Outfall Status When it is established that the discharge -_of stormwater runoff from a single outfall is representative of the discharges at multiple outfalls, the DWQ may grant representative outfall status. Representative outfall status allows the permittee to,:per_form analytical monitoring at a reduced number of outfalls. 21. Rinse Water Discharge The discharge of rinse water from equipment cleaning areas associated with industrial activity. Rinse waters -from vehicle and equipment cleaning areas are process wastewaters and do not include washwaters utilizing any type of detergent or cleaning agent. 22.

Facilities considered to be engaged in "industrial activities" include those activities defined in 40 CFR 122.26(b)(14). The term does not include discharges from facilities or activities excluded from the NPDES program. 29. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan A comprehensive site -specific plan which details measures and practices to reduce stormwater pollution and is based on an evaluation of the pollution potential of the site. 30. Ten Year Design Storm The maximum 24 hour precipitation event expected to be equaled or exceeded on the average once in ten years. Design storm information can be found in the State of North Carolina Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual, Part VI Page 4 of 5 Pages Permit No. NCS000520 'N • 4 y 31. Total Flow The flow corresponding to the time period over which the entire storm event occurs. Total flow shall be either; (a) measured continuously, (b) calculated based on the amount of area draining to the outfall, the amount of built -upon (impervious) area, and the total amount of rainfall, or (c) estimated by the measurement of flow at 20 minute intervals during the rainfall event. 32. Total Maximum Daily Load TMDL A TMDL is a calculation of the maximum amount of a pollutant that a waterbody can receive and still meet water quality standards, and an allocation of that amount to the pollutant's sources. A TMDL is a detailed water quality assessment that provides the scientific foundation for an implementation plan. The implementation plan outlines the steps necessary to reduce pollutant loads in a certain body of water to restore and maintain water quality standards in all seasons. The, Clean Water Act, section 303, establishes the water quality standards and TMDL programs. 33. Toxic Pollutant Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1),of the Clean`Water Act. 34.

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 to outfall 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 NPOES individual permit assoc. with that site, are both gone. 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. They are NCS000173 & NCS000520.

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 moniroring measurement frequencies have been chanced and cut-off concentrations have been removed. These changes will be implemented for all second tern 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 terra of the permit_ Please note that the send -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.

NON -':STORM WATER DISCHARGE TESTING As part of the. perinit application, the NCSPA must certify that no discharges of non -storm water occur in the storm water outfalls. To investigate this possibility, on September 17, 18, 24, and 25, 1991 •Greenhorne & O'Mara conducted a full inventory of each drainage structure on the storm drain system. This inventory identified those outfalls in which a "dry weather flow" was observed. The field notes :from the inventory are attached. - For the Southport Marina, no "dry weather flows" were seen, and no indication of a possible cross connection was observed. •. At the Morehead City Terminal, the points at which flows were observed were easily accounted for by pumping of the wood chip retention ponds, tidal water, or NPDES permitted flows- One point, OutfalI 500, was identified as needing further testing to confirm that the flow observed was not contaminated process water. At the Port of Wilmington, the inventory. identified several outfalls with a visible flow or characteristic that will need further testing. Many flows could be attributed to tidal, waters, or readily identifiable sources. Other flows were probably tidal or infiltration, but will be reinspected to confirm that a non - storm water discharge is not occurring_ The points identified as the best sampling points to verify non - storm water discharges are as follows: Morehead City Terminal Structure 506 Port of Wilmington Structure #605 Structure #904 structure #1004 Structure #1304 Structure #1604 Structure #1704 Structure #2003A2 Structure #2013 Structure•#2501 * Reinspect_to verify no flow a 8-11 12/08/2006 BRI 13:31 FAX 910 790 2334 NOSPA Engineering Dept. 2007/007 Site Description GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Morehead City Terminal is located in Bogue Sound at the inlet to the Newport River in Carteret County, on the Eastern side of Morehead City. The main terminal site is approximately 130 acres in size and contains approximately 811,000 square feet of covered storage buildings and 14 acres of paved open storage areas are available on site. The remainder of the site consists of undeveloped, vegetated areas or gravel open storage areas. The site is relatively flat and contains little natural slope. Graded slopes have been constructed to direct runoff to surface inlets for discharge via underground pipe systems. Off site drainage enters the underground pipe system from.the Owens Corning property and is discharged through outfalls 400 and 900. The Morehead City Terminal contains 13 storm drainage outfalls all in the form of underground pipes discharging directly into Bogue Sound or the Newport River. The storm water runoff from the terminal is impacted by the cargo (material) handling and storage operations and industrial activities at the More City Terminal. The cargo handling and storage normally falls into one of three categories: open bulk storage, open 'breakbulk storage, and covered warehouse storage. Detailed descriptions of the material handling and storage practices are contained in Section 5 of this report. The Ports Authority leases space to various tenants at the Morehead City facility who conduct a variety of industrial operations. Not all tenant operations impact storm water runoff however since some conduct their entire operation in enclosed spaces and are not exposed to rainfall. A detailed description of the tenants` industrial activities and their potential impact on storm water runoff is contained in Section 5 of this report. Illicit Connections Dry weather observations of the entire storm drainage system were conducted during the site investigation to determine the possibility of non -storm water connections to the storm drainage system. Approximately 170 surface inlets and manholes were observed. Flows were .observed in a few of the underground pipe systems during dry weather. Based on the site observations, utility maps, a. .grab sample analyses, and discussions with the NCSPA maintenance personnel, it was determined that the dry weather flows observed could be attributed to groundwater and that &p:ji`1,11ci�, non=s.tarm;water connnect:i:dn—were —present=at—the —more head— C =ty zTerrEri nab _ The field notes compiled from the dry weather observations and the grab sample location are described in the sampling proposal included in Section 8 of this report.

Guess you know that NCPA wanted to have the PCS section of their site permitted over to PCS (leasee). 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. Best Regards, Linda Willis Linda Willis <linda.willis@ncmail.net> .
