Just to let you know, they are backlogged on getting out the renewals out as they are stretched pretty thin for personnel right now. So, even if the permit does expire, you should continue to abide the permit conditions until the new one is issued. As for the tiered monitoring requirements for CU and ZN, an inspection by our office will need to be conducted and the regional supervisor, Dan Sams, would need to approve any relief from monthly monitoring or changes to the tiered monitoring requirements. Carol Miller is the inspector for that county and her contact information is carol.miller ncdenr. ov 910-796-7313. 1 will talk to her about the site and get her up to speed on the issues you are dealing with. Let me know if you need more information in the meantime. Jean Conway From: Brandon Sproles [mailto:bsproles@silar.corn] Sent: Monday, August 10, 2015 5:32 PM To: Conway, Jean Subject: Stormwater Permit renewal Importance: High Hi Jean, I hope all is going ok for you. I am at the EH&S school in Raleigh and attended the Stormwater class. I had written down in my calendar when I took over the EH&S that we would receive a renewal packet specific to our permit, however, I have not received anything and our permit is set to expire 10-31-2015. I can get the required information ready this week and in the mail. Will that be ok or do I need to continue to wait on the packet? I just don't want our permit to expire. Along those lines, what (if anything) can be done to get us back on quarterly sampling since our Zn and Cu totals are going to remain above benchmarks.

Thanks Brandon From: Brandon Sproles Sent: Wednesday, April 15, 2015 8:42 AM To: 'jean.conway@ncdenr.gov' Subject: Groundwater question Hi Jean, I have a quick question. Since Oak Bark Corp still owns all the land out here, they are responsible for the Groundwater monitoring, this is 2 times per year. Two of the wells are on the Silar Production site, MW06 and MW28. Sherrill Environmental performs the sampling and reports. The December report showed an increase of contaminants. We did an investigation and found that drain line had been compromised. The drain was repaired, capped, and taken out of service. We just received our last monitoring report ( March Samples) , and there was a noticeable decrease (%20). The problem has presumably been addressed. I was advised by Sherrill to issue a notification of release to the local state office and I am not quite sure what to do. Can you provide me some guidance on that.

We have the set of NPDES Stormwater permits you are looking for (these different/separate from NPDES wastewater permits, that many people just refer to as "NPDES"—although both the stormwater and wastewater discharges are under the scope of that federal program). The relevant permits we have are NCS000533 (Sitar), NCS000532 (Oak Bark), and NCS000156 (flexion, the original permit number assigned to Wright Chemical Corporation). There is a lot of paper in these files, and they are in my office. What's the best way to make those available to you? Please contact Tom Belnick in the NPDES Wastewater Permitting Program of DWR for information about the wastewater permit for the old Wright site. He will point you to the staff member most familiar with the wastewater permit. I have also copied Jim Gregson, the Water Quality Program Supervisor in the Wilmington Regional Office, who is familiar with the site and past compliance issues (both wastewater and stormwater). From a stormwater perspective, these sites have been challenging. Jean Conway (formerly in DWR, now in DEMLR with us) of the Wilmington Region recently forwarded copies of their annual monitoring summary for 2013, and there are several samples with very high concentrations of chemicals. Stormwater permits do not have limits like wastewater permits, but we do impose "benchmarks." Samples above benchmark values force the permittee to seek out and rectify problems in the drainage area to that outfall. These facilities have also been performing aquatic toxicity testing under the stormwater permit. It's very unusual for us to include that requirement in a stormwater permit, but historically these were very contaminated areas. DWR's Water Sciences Section (Aquatic Toxicology Branch under Cindy Moore) should have records of those results. I have attached the stormwater monitoring data from 2013 that Jean sent. There were some very high values in late 2013, and we have to work out with our Wilmington Office about how to respond to those. It would help us to know in what capacity your program will be dealing with these sites. Maybe there is an opportunity to work together to address the significant issues before us. A big dilemma for our program is how to address stormwater discharges that are so contaminated, they should really be considered wastewater and treated appropriately. We will have to work with DWR to address any water quality standard violations resulting from these discharges. Could you give us some background on this project and your involvement? Also, let me know how you want to review the NPDES stormwater permit files that I have. I'm in the Archdale Building and am happy to make them available to you. I'm not sure what parts you would need copied for your own reference —it may be easiest to come over and take a look through them. Monitoring data that are not in those files would have been sent to Central Files (and archived to State Archives if a few years old) or to the DWR Aquatic Tox Branch.

In December 2006 a major portion was sold to Hexion Specialty Chemical. The sale transferred part of the facility to Hexion and the remaining part became Oak -Bark Corporation. This remaining part included Sitar. Hexion originally asked to transfer the permit with all of the stormwater outfalls. In November 2008, Hexion applied for a separate permiw,hich left out 4 existing outfalls (SW001, SW002, SW005, and SW007). On April 22, 2009 OBC sold Sitar to Monomer Polymers which has outfalls SWO01, SW002, and SW005. o outfalls-and responsibilities and permits need to be defined for each company. ■ Hexion's stormwater outfalls are 003, 004, 006, 008, and 009 (from 2008 application). • Oak -Bark Corp. manufacturing area drains to stormwater outfall 007.

Location: C; Sw 6. Analytical Monitoring Notes: See Table 1. Data submitted with application. • BOD, COD, TSS, Ammonia, TKN, Total Nitrogen, and Formaldehyde were over the benchmarks. • Based on the SIC of 2869 the industry is covered in the EPA Multi -Sector General Permit under Sector C Chemical and Allied Products Manufacturing, and Refining. The sector does not recommend any specific monitoring. • The reviewer recommends including BOD, COD, 155, Ammonia, TKN, Total Nitrogen, and Formaldehyde into the renewed permit because they are potential pollutants and previous samples in the application were above our current benchmarks. • The reviewer recommends including acute toxicity monitoring. This recommendation is based on the site having many potential pollutants and poor housekeeping by the former owners as well as being requested by the regional office. See attached rationale document for Acute Toxicity for more details. Qualitative Monitoring Notes: Visual observations were done at Outfalls 002, 005 and 007 three different times. Two times there was no rain but no other outfalls were identified. That last time was done during rain and it was noted that there was no outfall from this source. All runoff was retained in the small retention pond south of the outfall. It was observed there was no oil sheen.

BOD, COD, TSS, Ammonia, TKN, Total Nitrogen, Formaldehyde and pH have been added to the permit because they are potential pollutants and were above the benchmarks in the data submitted with the application. Parameters in this permit include all chemicals reported by the applicant for the May 2009 sampling event, except for lead. • BOD and COD are appropriate for the various organic chemicals stored and used at the facility, and the site as a while has had numerous instances of elevated levels in the stormwater discharge (Outfalls 002, 003, 004, 0::9, & 006). • TSS is indica::ve of housekeeping or other problems. TSS is also appropriate for a discharge to receiving waters plagues with turbidity problems. • Ammonia, TKN (organic nitrogen), and Nitrate/Nitrite are above benchmarks in the submitted analysis and are pres^nt with this industrial activity. Nitrate/Nitrite was not above in the submitted data but in data from the Hexion file. • Total Lead is not proposed in the monitoring scheme because levels were well below the 0.03 mg/I . benchmark, and it does not appear to be present in the materials here. Noted that there were very few benchmark exceedances in data collected from other outfalls at this site between 2000-09. • Total Copper, Zinc, and Manganese included because the potential pollutants and want to be consistent with Hexion and Oak Bark. • Hexamine and formaldehyde are included in the permit because they are potential pollutants. Samples for formaldehyde are above benchmarks in the submitted analysis. • pH is included because of its use as a general and immediate indicator of problems (especially with acid storage at this facility), as well as its importance in interpreting other data such as metals. • Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) is included because several oils are stored at this site, and fork-lift traffic may introduce such materials into the discharge. An alternative to just Oil and Grease (O&G), TPH can be measured with the same method EPA has approved for O&G: Method 1664, but using Silica Gel Treated N-Hexane Extractable Material (SGT-HEM) and an additional step that removes polar/fatty non - petroleum bas;,d material from the sample. This method is not compound -specific but is less costly, and still provides an estimate of petroleum hydrocarbon concentration. This parameter is better targeted for petroleum based materials than O&G, which can include animal -based fats and oils. • Acute Toxicity has been included for this site due to concerns about multiple toxic sources as well as onsite-unknown chemical mixing and resultant unknown environmental toxicity. The ACUTE TOXICITY APPENDIX A: ACUTE TOXICITY TESTING FOR STORMWATER OUTFALLS has been include at the end of the permit text. (set- r+7� At- -7-nx {GC 1�t l`�t3 e-ctoCt., 2. All analytical monitoring is quarterly during a representative storm event as defined in Part II Section B. This frequency is higher than the standard semi-annual, but is consistent with proposed monitoring in draft permits for the other manufacturers at this site (Hexion and Silar). The frequency is also appropriate given DWQ's elevated concern about stormwater contamination from past activities. Because the retention pond discharges more rarely, Oak -Bark will probably not see flow from its one outfall for many of those quarters. 3. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring are included with this draft permit. Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. If sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at any outfall then the facility should follow the Tiered response guidelines. 4. The permittee is required to collect all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during a representative storm event as defined in Part It Section B. Qualitative monitoring is required to coincide. 5. The flow reporting requirement is not included, per DWQ revised strategy. Total rainfall is in the permit, however, and can be used with impervious area information to estimate flow. Impervious area detail is Pabc 6 of 8 NCS000J33 ,r required to be documented in the permittee's SPPP. 6. Vehicle maintenance monitoring included, if ever applicable at this site (proposed quarterly to be consistent . with other monitoring, which would occur at the same outfall). Discussions with permittee: Peter Yurgel/ Plant Manager, 910-655-6980, 9/22/2009 1. Visual observations in the application describe the only outfalls as 002, 005, and 007 but the outfalls are listed as 001, 002, and 005. Are these the same outfalls? Outfolls are 001, 002 and 005. 007 is on the Oak -Bork Facility. 2. Outfall 007 drains to a small retention pond. Does the pond ever discharge? It is an Oak -Bork Facility. 3. the application says samples will be taken for pollutants from EPA Form 2F, tables 2F-2, 2F-3 and 2F-4. Have those been forwarded to us yet? Samples for all these parameters have not been taken. Samples are taken far parameters in the old Hexion permit. They are working with Linda Willis on this. 4. Do you have vehicle maintenance onsite? No. 5. What is your SIC code? 2869 Page 7 of 8 NCS000533 Recommendations: Based on the documents reviewed, the application information submitted on June 5, 2009 sufficient to issue an Individual Stormwater Permit.

After speaking with DWQ central office staff, regional office staff, environmental laboratory staff, and stormwater staff at other US states, DWQ SPU CO staff made the decision that adding acute toxicity may be appropriate as a test parameter in some cases. Rationale for Acute Toxicity Testing & Appropriateness of use: • Other states such as CT, SC, MO, and CA are using Acute Toxicity Testing (usually Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) Tests) in stormwater individual (and some general) permits as a test parameter and have found it to be useful parameter for a number of reasons (detailed below). Some states (CT) have found that using Acute Toxicity is also a useful parameter to educate permittees and the public on the concerns of contaminants on the impact on aquatic life. In this way the permittee understands the correlation between release of contaminants and aquatic toxicity more clearly rather than calling levels "bad." • NC DWQ also believes it could be a useful parameter in cases where: o DWQ cannot feasibly include all test parameters in a'permit or ask the permittee to test specific chemicals stored on site (because of financial concerns, large numbers of parameters, or other concerns), even if we know what all the chemicals are; o DWQ may not have benchmarks available for all parameters that may be discharged from the site; o DWQ may not be able to predict environmental effects from mixed chemicals or chemicals produced by reactions when mixed that may be discharged from the site; o DWQ may not be able to know all chemicals that may be discharged from the site or these chemicals, or information about them, may be proprietary in nature; o DWQ may be concerned that the toxicity of some parameters (such as copper or other metals) may be difficult to predict due to variable environmental influences such as hardness, pH, etc. DWQ feels that the use of both a 48-hour pass/fail test and a 48-hour multi -dilution test is more conservative and will provide more information. o DWQ feels that although it is unlikely the organisms would be exposed to 100% stormwater for more than 24 hours, organisms may be exposed to dilute stormwater for longer than 24 hours. We feel that we would obtain more useful information using 48- hour tests. o After data are collected, if runoff is passing at 24 hours but is failing at 48 hours, the permit can be reassessed to see if a 24-hour exposure better reflects exposure at that particular site. o Neither the NC acute pass/fail procedure nor the EPA multi -concentration procedure requires that organism mortality be checked at 24 hours during a 48-hour test; however, DWQ may easily request labs to perform this. o As the NC DWQ toxicity testing relies on benchmark screening (for stormwater discharges rather than a limit, use of a more conservative test with benchmarks does not have the same impacts as a test with limits. o EPA Region 5 (including TX) uses a 24-hour LC50 (multi -concentration) and Washington state uses a 24-hour test (with Hyallela, not Ceriodaphnia). However, SC, CT, NJ, and MO all use a 48-hour test. Method: • Organism: Ceriodaphina dubia • Frequency: Once per year testing is recommended. • Dilution: Initial test is test of 100% stormwater effluent. Any subsequent follow up tests are more specific multiple dilution tests. Both tests are 48-hour tests. See Acute toxicity permit language Appendix A for more details. • Control: Specified in the methods. • Acute Test Type: See Acute toxicity permit language Appendix A for more details.

Location: C; Sw 6. Analytical Monitoring Notes: See Table 1. Data submitted with application. • BOD, COD, TSS, Ammonia, TKN, Total Nitrogen, and Formaldehyde were over the benchmarks. • Based on the SIC of 2869 the industry is covered in the EPA Multi -Sector General Permit under Sector C Chemical and Allied Products Manufacturing, and Refining. The sector does not recommend any specific monitoring. • BOD, COD, TSS, Ammonia, TKN, Total Nitrogen, and Formaldehyde have been added to the permit because they are potential pollutants and were above the benchmarks in the data submitted with the application. Qualitative Monitoring Notes: Visual observations were done at Outfalls 002, 005 and 007 three different times. Two times there was no rain but no other outfalls were identified. That last time was done during rain and it was noted that there was no outfall from this source. All runoff was retained in the small retention pond south of the outfall. It was observed there was no oil sheen. Page 4 of 8 NCS000533 Discussions with permittee: Peter Yurgel/ Plant Manager, 910-655-6980, 9/22/2009 1. Visual observations in the application describe the only outfalls as 002, 005, and 007 but the outfalls are listed as 001, 002, and 005. Are these the same outfalls? Outfalls are 001, 002 and 005. 007 is on the Oak -Bark Facility. 2. Outfall 007 drains to a small retention pond. Does the pond ever discharge? It is an Oak -Bark Facility, 3. The application says samples will be taken for pollutants from EPA Form 2F, tables 2F-2, 2F-3 and 2F-4. Have those been forwarded to us yet? Samples for all these parameters have not been takers. Samples are taken for parameters in the old Hexion permit. They are working with Linda Willis on this. 4. Do you have vehicle maintenance onsite? No. 5. What is your SIC code? 2869 Page 7 of 8 NCS000533 Recommendations: Based on the documents reviewed, the application information submitted on June 51. 2009 sufficient to issue an Individual Stormwater Permit.

Acme, Columbus County, North Carolina Dear Ms. Willis: t ECEQVE JUN932012 BY: Momentive Specialty Chemicals is requesting input from the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR), Surface Water Protection Division (SWPD) on a permitting question at the above referenced facility should Momentive determine the existing Closed Loop Recycle Permit (CLRP No. W00034775) is no longer needed. Specifically, Momentive is conducting a pilot test of modifications to the operation implemented as part of the Lined Pond cleaning. This modification uses an existing concrete basin in lieu of the Lined Pond for cooling tower feed water and cooling tower water is no longer recycled back to the concrete basin. If the pilot test successfully demonstrates the facility can operate in this fashion, Momentive will likely petition to terminate the CLRP later this year and wants to ensure the new concrete basin water storage and evaporation system is properly permitted before proceeding. Background Per the requirements of the CLRP, Momentive completed the removal of sludge accumulated in the Lined Pond. The Lined Pond Flow Diagram (Enclosure 1) provides details of the various sources of water previously directed to the Lined Pond and how the concrete basin was historically used at the facility. During the period of time the Lined Pond was out of service for cleaning, facility personnel developed methods of storm water management and cooling water system operation which Momentive believes will allow operation without the Lined Pond in service. After discussing this with Jim Bushardt in the Division of Water Quality (DWQ), Momentive has continued to hold the Lined Pond out of service and use the concrete basin adjacent to the formaldehyde process area for temporary water management to further assess their ability to safely and effectively operate in this manner. Momentive began operating in this mode on August 29, 2011 and has continued to pilot these new operating methods through the winter and spring seasons to verify whether to put the ` Lined Pond back in closed -loop recycle service or storm water management service. With the operational changes, Momentive is not recycling any water from the cooling towers back to the concrete basin. Rather, when the solids content in the cooling tower water becomes too high, the water is removed via vacuum truck and properly disposed off -site. This modified operational procedure is detailed in the Concrete Basin Flow Diagram provided as Enclosure 2. If after this pilot testing period Momentive determines that operations can work using the concrete basin in lieu of the Lined Pond and not recycling any water from the cooling towers, Momentive will likely submit a request to the NCDENR DWQ to terminate the CLRP. Permitting Question Momentive is requesting clarification from NCDENR SWPD as to whether there are permitting requirements for operating the concrete basin as a water storage and evaporation basin, which also serves as one of the sources to provide make-up water to two cooling towers, as described on the Concrete Pond Flow diagram (Enclosure 2). As noted on the diagram, sources of water to the concrete basin include 30-minute storm water first flush, some process wastewater, and periodically a pH adjusted regeneration stream off of the I/O System. Momentive is available to discuss this permitting question with you if you feel that will facilitate your review. Please contact Matthew Skidmore, Momentive Regional EHS Manager, at 404-353-5972, or Jay Reid, ARCADiS, at 614-791-6106 if you have questions concerning this request, or require additional information.

Acme, Columbus County, North Carolina Dear Mr. Gregson: This letter of notification is to inform the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Wilmington Regional Office, Division of Water Quality (DWQ) of the updated Tier -Ili stormwater status for the Momentive Specialty Chemicals, Inc. Acme Facility (Momentive). This notification is required in Part II, Section B of NPDES Stormwater Permit NCS000150. Laboratory analytical results, received December 23, 2011 and January 12, 2012, from the November 29, 2011 and December 27, 2011 sampling events, respectively, revealed parameter values in exceedance of permit benchmarks for the fourth occasion. These analytical results shifted the status for stormwater outfalls SDO-003, SDO-004, SDO-006, and SDO-009 into Tier -Ill. Table 1 summarizes the Tier -III benchmark exceedances. Momentive is also providing a summary of stormwater sampling conducted at these outfalls over the last two years. This data is included as Appendix A. - General downward trends can be observed in the data and indicates that actions and improvements that Momentive has taken and continues to take are improving the stormwater quality at the site.

Since permit benchmarks were established November 1, 2010, Momentive has implemented multiple corrective actions and improved general housekeeping to address benchmark exceedances at the four representative outfalls permitted under NCS00156. These corrective measures have contributed to an overall downward trend in parameter values at the four outfalls. A summary of some of these actions is described below: Summary of Stormwater Improvements Outfa# 3 (SDO-003) • Removal of plant and tree debris from the drainage swale above the weir improved flow and reduced stagnant conditions above the outfall. • Neighboring company Oak Bark ceased manufacturing of the Mintrex product in August 2011. This processing may be a possible source of metals in the sample results. 0uHa114 (SDO-004) • Stormwater routing procedures were evaluated and modified to direct the first flush in a rain event to a stormwater dike, rather than allowing direct flow to Outfall 4. • The gravel drainage area above Outfall 4 was regraded and new riprap was installed to reduce flow velocity and erosion of drainage swale. • Rip rap installed to reduce erosion above outlet inlet. • Neighboring company Oak Bark ceased manufacturing of the Mintrex product in August 2011. This processing may be a possible source of metals in the sample results. Outfall 6 (SDO-006) • General housekeeping within the drainage sub -basin has contributed to the overall downward trend in parameter values. Outfall9 (SDO-009) • Leaf litter and sediment was removed and new riprap was installed at the outfall inlet to prevent pooling behind the maintenance building. • Neighboring company Oak Bark ceased manufacturing of the Mintrex product in August 2011. This processing may be a possible source of metals in the sample results. Momentive continues to perform required stormwater management inspections and implement corrective measures to address benchmark exceedances. Monthly stormwater sampling will also continue in response to the Tier -III status.

Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit Permit No. NC5000156 Hexion Specialty Chemicals, Inc Columbus County Dear Mr. Lowry: Dee Freeman Secretary Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. Please review the draft very carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains. The draft permit contains the following significant changes from this facility's current permit: Analytical monitoring changes: 1. Analytical monitoring parameters have been added to this permit. 2, pH has been addedto the analytical monitoring requirements. 3. Representative outfall status has not been granted as of yet. Please continue to monitor all outfalls. You may apply for Representative Outfall Status through the Linda Willis at the Wilmington Regional Office. All arialyticaI monitoring has been set to quarterly during a representative storm event as defined is II Section B. The permittee must also document the total precipitation for each event. If no discharge =+' occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating No I'gow' within 30 days of the end of the three-month sampling period. Additionally, samples must be taken a minimum of 30 days apart, as specified in the text directly above Table 2. 5. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring have been added to this draft permit. Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. For all parameters except Acute Toxicity: if the sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at any outfall then the facility shall follow the Tier 1 guidelines which require a facility inspection within two weeks and implementation of a mitigation plan within two months. If during the term of this permit, the 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 facility shall follow the Tier 2 guidelines which require a repetition of the steps listed for Tier 1 and also immediately institute monthly monitoring for all parameters at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples. For benchmarks and sampling requirements regarding acute toxicity, please see Appendix A: Special Conditions. 6. You are required to collect all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during representative storm events as defined in Part II Section B. Qualitative monitoring is required regardless of representative outfall status. 7. You are responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote 1 of Tables 1, 4, and 5.

Permit No. NCS000156 8. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall parameter is in this permit, however.) 9. Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi-annuaIIy in order to coincide with analytical and qualitative monitoring. Monitoring for TPH has replaced Oil & Grease. This requirement appears in all Individual Stormwater permits, however it only applies to facilities that do vehicle maintenance. If the facility begins vehicle maintenance during the permitted timeframe then the requirements shall apply. Other permit changes: 1. Additional guidance is provided about the Site PIan requirements. The site map must now identik,if the a_ receiving stream is impaired and if it has a TMDL established. It must also describe potential poll4'%-ants in each outfall. The map requirements are stated more explicitly. And, the site plan must contain a list of - - .,.significant spills that have occurred in the past three years and also must certify that the outfaIls have been inspected to ensure that they do not contain non-stormwater discharges. Additional information E' provided in Part II Section A. r 2. AdditionaI requirements for the Stormwater Management PIan have been specified in Part II Section A. More details regarding secondary containment are provided. 3. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been specified in Part 11 Section A. The plan must also be updated annually to include a list of significant spills and to certify that the outfalls do not contain non-stormwater discharges. 4. The facility must now implement a semi-annual Facility Inspection Program of the site's stormwater management controls as specified in Part II Section A. 5. Information regarding the No Exposure Exclusion has been added to this draft permit. If industrial materials and activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described in 40 CFR §122.26(g), the facility may qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES stormwater discharge permit requirements. Additional information is provided in Part I Section A. 6. In addition to submitting two signed copies of DMRs to Central Files, a separate signed Annual Summary DMR copy must be submitted to the local DWQ Regional Office by March 1 of each year. See Part 11, Section.E: Reporting Requirements for more information. 7. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-2 for Acute Pass/Fail Tests (original) is to be sent to the Environmentai Sciences Section annually. See Appendix A: Special Conditions for more information. PIease submit any comments to me no later than thirty (30) days following your receipt of the draft. Comments should be sent to the address listed at the bottom of this page. If no adverse comments are received from the public or from you, this permit will likely be issued in about two months.

The site plan shall provide a descriptionof the physical facility and the potential pollutant sources which may be ext:¢cted't contribute to contamination of stormwater discharges. The site plan shall contain the.following: (a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle -map or appropriately drafted equivalent map), showing the facility's;location in relation to transportation routes and surface waters, the name of the rec6ving.water(s) to which the stormwater outfall(s) discharges, or if the discharge is to a municipal separate storm sewer system, the name of the municipality an#d the ultimate receiving waters, and accurate latitude and longitude of th�'point(s) ofdischarge. The general location map (or alternatively•the site map)shall identify whether each receiving water is impaired (on the state's-303(d)'list of impaired waters) or is located in a watershed for which a TMDL has been established, and what the parameter(s) of concern are.f� (b) A narrative description of storage pract,;;es, loading and unloading activities, outdoor process er as, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and waste disposal practices. A narrative description of the potential pollutants which could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall. (c) A site map drawn to scale (including a distance legend) showing: the site property boundary, the stormwater discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial activity areas (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads), site topography, all drainage features and structures, drainage areas for each outfall, direction of flow in each drainage area, industrial activities occurring in each drainage area, buildings, existing BMPs, and impervious surfaces. The site map must indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious. (d) . A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred at the facility during the three (3) previous years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts. (e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. The certification statement will be signed in accordance with the requirements found in Part III, Standard Conditions, Section Part 11 Page 1 of 10 Permit No. NCSo001 56 B, Paragraph 5. The permittee shall re -certify annually that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. 2. Stormwater Management Plan. The stormwater management plan shall contain a narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or minimize the exposure of significant materials to stormwater, including stru_ ctural and nonstructural measures. The stormwater management plan, at a minimum, shall incorporate the following: (a) Feasibility Study. A re'. iew of the technical and economic feasibility of changing the methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure of materials and processes- o stormwater. Wherever practical; the permittee shall _ prevent exposure of all,stofage areas, material handling operations, and manufacturing or fueling operations. In areas where elimination of exposure is not practical, the stormwater management plan shall document the feasibility of diverting the stormwater runoff away from.areas of potential contamination. (b) Secondary Containment 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, in order to prevent leaks and_ `spills from'contaminating stormwater runoff. A table or summary of all,,lsueh,t nks and stored materials and their associated secondary containment areas -shall be,niaintained. If the secondary containment devices are connected to stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually activated�v�h{es or other similar. devices (which shall be secured - closed with a; lockingmechanism), 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 any material. Records documenting the individual making the observation, the description of the accumulated stormwater, and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a period of five years. (c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management Practices (BMP) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs shall be based on the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually. 3. Spill Prevention and Response 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 the team) responsible for implementing the SPRP shall be identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and dated by each individual acknowledging their responsibilities for the plan. A responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility operations that have the potential to Part II Page 2 of ] 0 Permit No. NCS000156 contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or exposure of materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP must be site stormwater specific. Therefore, an oil Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure plan (SPCC) may be a component of the SPRP, but may not be sufficient to completely address the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may be incorporated by reference into the SPRP. 4, Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Prpgram. A preventative maintenance and good housekeeping program shall be, developed. The program shall list all stormwater control systems, stormwater discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial activity areas (including material storage areas, material handling areas, disposal areas, process areas, loadi.rig'and unloading areas, and haul roads), all drainage features and structures, and existing structural BMPs. The program shall establish schedules of inspections, -maintenance, housekeeping activities of stormwater control systems, as well as -facility equipment, facility. areas, and facility systems that present a potential for stormwater exposure or stormwater pollution. Inspection of material handling areas and regula`r.cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program. Timely compliance with the established schedules for inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping shall -be recorded in writing and maintained in the SPPP. 5. Employee Training. Trainin ro am4hall be developed and trainiri provided at a g gP ,� P gP minimum on an annual basis for facility, personnel with responsibilities for: spill response and cleanup, preventative,maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's operations that have the potential" contaminate stormwater runoff. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the training shall be identifcy, and their annual training shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained. 6. Responsible Party. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall identify a specific position(s) responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision to the Plan. Responsibilities for all components of the Plan shall be documented and position assignments provided. 7. Plan Amendment. The permittee shall amend the Plan.whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, or maintenance which has a significant effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of 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 written re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. Each annual update shall include a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the BMPs listed in the BMP Summary of the Stormwater Management Plan. 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 11 Page 3 of 10 Permit No. NCSOOO t 56 Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 5) to the Director that the changes have been made. 8.

These facility inspections are different from and in addition to, th stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring required in Part-fl B an&C of this permi6. 9. Implementation. The permittee shall impler,iit the Plan. Implementation of the Plan shall include documentation of all monitoring, measurements, inspections, maintenance activities, and training provided to employees,. including the log,of the sampling data and of actions taken to implement BMPs associated withthe,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 authorized representative immediately upon'request. - _= 71 l SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORIN�GEQUIREMENTS discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1. All Analytical monitoring of stormwater analytical monitoring shall be performedduring a representative storm event. The required monitoring will result in a minimum -of twenty analytical samplings being conducted over the term of the permit at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). r! A representative storm, event is a..storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall. The time between this storm event Arid the.previous storm event measuring greater than 0.1 inches must be at least 72 hours. A single storm event may have a period of no precipitation of up to 10 hours. For example, if it rains but stops before producing any collectable discharge, a sample may be collected if the next rain producing a discharge begins within 10 hours.

ACTIONS FOR FAIL URE OF MULTIPLE DILUTION TESTS (TRE, TRI or OTHER AlEASURES): t If the permittee fails, either A TOTAL OF FIVE m6 tiple-dilution tests or THE THIRD CONSECUTIVE multiple-dilutiodle-st as described in Section 111 3) b., the permittee shall execute the following: apFs 1) A toxicity reduction evablat:on (TRE) shall be automatically instituted. Within 30 calendar days „b from availability of the. ;test results; the permittee shalt contact the Division SPU Central Office and the Regional Office:S'.ipervisor in writing. a. The permittee shall'submit one copy of a plan for conducting a TRE to the DWQ SPU, and one copy to the DWQ Environmental Sciences' Section. These copies shall be submitted within 60 calendar days of the date of DWQ SPU's direction to perform the TRE. b. This plan must be approved by DWQ SPU before the TRE is begun. A schedule for completing the TRE shall be established in the plan approval. A Toxicity Identification Evaluation (TIE) may be a component of the TRE. c. Upon DWQ's approval, the TRE schedule may be modified if toxicity is intermittent during the TRE investigations. A revised WET test schedule may be established by DWQ for this period. ?) Additionally after the first year that TRE results have been collected and submitted, depending on results the Regional Office inav (among options): • Require the permittee to install structural stonnwater controls; • Require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures or BMPs; • Require the permittee to collect and treat the discharge and/or eliminate the discharge; • Require that the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for the No Exposure Exclusion; or Appendix A: Page 3 of Pages Permit No. NCS000533 • Require that the permittee perform up -stream and downstream biological assessment in the receiving water. V. MEASURES APPLICABLE TO ALL TESTS: All acute toxicity test results shall be submitted in a concise summary at the end of the five year permit term. One copy of this report shall be sent to the Regional Office Supervisor, one copy to the SPU Central Office, and one copy to the DWQ Environmental Sciences SeeLon. Should any test data from either these monitoring requirements or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re- opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements. t If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by this permit, the results of such monitoring shall be included in the calculation & reporting of thedata`submit'ted on the DMR & all Acute Toxicity Forms submitted.

Site - Riegelwood, NC Date Description 1883 Acme Manufacturing (fertilizer and sulfuric acid production) begins operation and appears on 1899 and 1910 Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps. Lead chambers were clearly indicated. Sulfuric acid was produced by extracting sulfate from mineral pyrite and it is believed that the waste products from the process were disposed of on site. 2159 Alum plant began operation in same vicinity as former equalization lagoon (near current MW-16 and MW-9, prior to lagoon's existence). Alum is a double sulfate of aluminum and potassium. 2120/1959 Wright Chemicals, Inc. was formed 1967 Wright Chemical began manufacturing hexamine 1967 Kaiser Aluminum and Chemical Corporation (Kaiser) purchased the facility located on south side of the railroad tracks from Acme Fertilizer Company. Kaiser produced superphosphate at the facility and blended fertilizers for the local farming community. 1968 Acme and Wright Chemical merged and continued to operate the chemical plant on the north side of the railroad tracks. Mid 1960s Wright Chemical began operation of the contact sulfuric acid plant in 1964 and began manufacturing hexamine, urea formaldehyde, and formaldehyde. Operation of the chambers sulfuric acid plant ceased in mid-1960. Began manufacturing paraformaldehyde in 1967. Early 197os Alum plant ceased production. Wright Chemical constructed four unlined lagoons on site (equalization basin, outfall pond, resin pond, aeration basin, and spill basin). 6/12/1972 Wright Chemical received a non -discharge wastewater and disposal facility permit from the NC Division of Environmental Management to operate a wastewater treatment facility consisting of an unlined equalization basin and an unlined aeration basin 1975 Three 22 It deep monitoring wells were installed around the Kaiser run-off collection pond part of non -discharge permit. Groundwater showed pH, nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium problems from long history and use of fertilizer acids and compounds. 10/3/1978 Wright Chemical received approval from the NC Division of Environmental Management, Groundwater Section to begin operation of the I O-acre spray field across SR 1818. The spray field received wastewater from the aeration basin. 9/8/1981 Kaiser was issued an NPDES permit to discharge wastewater from its onsite holding pond to Livingston Creek 6/2/1983 Kaiser was issued air permit for oil -fired boilers and burners. 1 t!ll1983 NUS Corp completed site investigation of Kaiser plant docamented to 12Y611994 report. Collected water samples from 5 wells onstte (two plant water supply wells and three monitoring wells which surrounded a process water holding pond) and 1 private offsite well located approximately 112 mile south of plant. 1984 Kaiser ceased production and closed the fertilizer plant once the inventory was depleted. The buildings were removed from the site and the structures that remained were concrete slab foundations and a monitoring well network. 1984 Groundwater study conducted on the former Kaiser site. Groundwater sampling revealed low-level contamination by arsenic, cadmium, copper, lead, and zinc. Only one sample analyte (cadmium) exceeded federal health -based benchmarks. 1984 Wright Chemical installed 5 surficial observation wells on site, and subsequently installed additional wells during the NPDES permitting process, The wells were located within the plant production areas and in spray irrigation fields to the east. The wells were monitored for pH and for several organic and non- metallic inorganic parameters. 1984 Wright Chemical began operating the 20-ac spray field. 6/18ti984 jWright Chemical reported a 700 gallon spill of #6 fuel oil.

Report has a potentiometric map of the water table aquifer underlying the facility. Groundwater elevations were collected from 10 temporary piezometers constructed on the Wright Chemical site and 4 permanent wells on the Kaiser facility. 1/21/1998 Fright Chemical repots that a three inch PVC pipe to the 20-acre spray field burst and discharged wastewater to Mill Creek Mar-88 Atlanta Testing & Engineering completed a groundwater assessment at the Kaiser facility. Resulted in a Notice of Non-compliance issued on 5/2/88 for groundwater violations of total dissolved solids, nitrate, chloride, fluoride, iron, and manganese, 6/2/1988 Kaiser submitted a plan to address groundwater issues at the former fertilizer plant Feb-89 Kaiser completes cleanup of materials from, closed fertilizer plant that were potential groundwater contaminants. 3/1/1989 Permit No. 236E-R2 issued to Wright Chemical to operate a lagoon -type wastewater treatment system followed by disposal onto the 10-acre and 20-acre waste disposal fields expired. 3/2/1989 Wright Chemical reported 2,500-3,000 pounds of sodium hydroxide spilled on 2/12/1989 Sep-89 EPA Reg IV completed a SSI at Wright Chemical. The investigation included collection of leachate, soil, sediment and groundwater samples- Samples were tested for organic and inorganic parameters. Surface soil at the far western edge of the original sulfuric acid plant location contained elevated arsenic, lead, and toluene. No additional sampling was conducted in the former plant area. Soil sample collected adjacent to the newer acid plant contained elevated zinc, lead, hexachlorobenzene, and PCB-1254. Two sediment samples collected from the acid equalization pond contained elevated lead and copper concentrations: Nickel and vanadium were elevated in one sample, and the other sample contained DDT and methoxychlor. Sediment collected from the banks of Livingston Creek contained numerous elevated inorganics including copper and lead and several pesticides. Groundwater in a monitoring well downgradiem from the equalization pond contained elevated concentrations of arsenic, lead, nickel and vanadium. Based on the SS results, the site was recommended for further federal investigation. However it was subsequently referred to the State Inactive Hazardous Sites Program and archived under CERCLA on September 9, 1989. I211/I989 J5000 gallons of wastewater was discharged to Livingston Creek as a result of a fire that occurred on 1 1/25189 Page 2 of 8 Table 2-1 Site Chronology Wright Chemical Corp. Site - Riegelwood, NC Date Description 12/6-8/1989 Sulfuric acid spill, 2,200 gallons of 93% sulfuric acid were spilled on the railroad spur adjacent to the sulfuric acid plant, on the southern property boundary of the Wright Corporation facility. The spill area was estimated at 300 feet long by 25 feet wide. 20 tons of agricultural time was applied to the surface of the spill area and mixed into the sail and gravel. 121711989 - 10 additional tons of lime were applied to hot spots" to neutralize any acid remaining on the surface ofthe ground. On 12/811989 rain impeded the clean-up operations. Surface water generated from the rainfall inundated the containment area flushing the surface of the site and discharging into Livingston Creek. Spill resulted in acidic tun -off to Livingston Creek for several days. Elevated lead and arsenic levels were identified in un-permitted surface water discharges to Livingston Creek observed at the time by DENR. 12/1 111989 Five unpermitted discharges to Livingston Creek were observed and documented during a compliance inspection at Wright Chemical. Samples from 4 of the discharges were collected and analyzed. The samples were reported to contain elevated amounts of nutrients and heavy metals. Led to 111-911990 NOV. 12/2811989 Wright Chemical submits a report prepared by Dr. Rolf Hartung, a consultant in environmental toxicology from University of Michigan. Titled A Reconnaissance Survey of Mill Creek and Environs" concluding that the site was not adversely impacting Mill Creek. 198911990 Sulfuric acid spills were common along the railroad tracks and in the area of the sulfuric acid plant. The most significant sulfuric acid spills along the railroad track area were Wright in 1989 and Koch in 1990. 1990 The contact sulfuric acid plant was sold to Koch Sulfur. 1/5/1990 & Groundwater NOV, contamination sources cited: 2 acid spills, wastewater lagoons, 10 acre waste disposal field, 20 acre waste disposal field. 19 violations of 2/2190 2L" Groundwater standards violations. 2/13/1990 State of North Carolina completed sampling for toxicity tests of unpermitted discharges on the Wright property and Livingston Creek 2114.11990 State of North Carolina completed domestic well sampling in the vicinity of the Wright Chemical site. 207/1990 AWARE Environmental submitted a corrective action plan for unpermitted discharge violations for Wright Corporation 3/12/1990 Kaiser signed a Special Order of Consent (SOC) for groundwater violations at the former fertilizer plant, 3/14/1990 Kaiser submitted an environmental study of Livingston Creek to the Wilmington Regional Office by Dr. Rolf Hartung, a consultant in environmental toxicology from University of Michigan. Tided "An Analysis of Environmental Impacts on Livingston Creek and Adjacent Wetlands Associated with Kaiser Aluminum & Chemical Corporation's Retired Fertilizer Plant." Apr-90 AWARE Environmental submitted a remedial action pian for 10-ac spray field on behalf of Wright Corporation. Four additional water table monitoring wells were installed downgradient of the spray field. Jun-90 AWARE Environmental submitted a remedial action plan for 12/6189 sulfuric acid spill on behalf of Wright Corporation. 7/17/1990 381 gallon formaldehyde spill occurred (solution 37% formaldehyde, 62% water, and 1 % methanol). Regulatory notification was not made until 7/31190. The spill was the result of overfilling a 5,000+ gallon tanker. A portion of the spill entered the storm sewer leading toward the lined pond (waste treatment area). The remaining material flowed into a graveled area, down an asphalt road onto a gravel road and into graveled depression. An undetermined amount of the product entered a "French Drain" leading to a ditch which discharged into Livingston Creek. Excavated material was placed onto the ground adjacent to the aeration pond on the plant site. 8/1/1990 1600gallons of 3%ammonium hydroxide were applied to the 7117/90 formaldehyde spill, Wright was issued an NOV for this on 8113/1990. Page 3 of 8 Table 2-1 Site Chronology Wright Chemical Corp. Site - Riegelwood, NC Date Description 811611990 DEM completed an assessment of the 7/17l90 formaldehyde spill on Livingston Creek. A benthic macroinverterbrate survey of Livingston Creek was performed to determine any impacts to the stream fauna from the spill. It appeared that Wright Chemical was having a noticeable impact on the fauna of Livingston Creek. The stream fauna changed from a typical swamp stream dominated by amphipods, midges and beetles upstream of the plant, to a much more stressed ecosystem dominated by pollution tolerant oligochaetes downstream. after 1991 Wright Chemical constructed Silar Laboratories, a subsidiary which manufactured silanes to the northeast of the sulfuric acid plants. 1 /l/ 1991 Koch Sulfur spilled 1500-2000 gallons of sulfuric acid at the railcar loading area. The spill was neutralized using soda ash. The pH in M W-16 was raised by pumping water from the well, mixing it with soda ash, and applying the mixture to the ground around the well. 211 YI991 Koch Sulfur documented a DIDP oil spill at the Wright Chemical hexamine plant that occurred along the railroad tracks near the sulfur line. 7/22/1991 Wastewater Treatment Ponds Closure -Revision One closure plan (for abandoning the four existing unlined lagoons) was submitted by Wright Chemical_ The closure plan consisted of three "phases" that required dewatering of the unlined lagoonswith the wastewater ultimately placed in the existing lined lagoon and construction of the new lined lagoon (Kelly pond). 9191 Koch Sulfur ceased operation of the contact sulfuric acid plant. This was the end of sulfuric acid production at the site. May-92 Petroleum contaminated soil was discovered near former fuel oil tanks on Kaiser property during installation of MW-4. The source was an oil -water separator that formerly received drainage from the containment areas of the fuel oil tanks. Contaminated soil was excavated and removed in June 1992. 611711992 A release of approx. 2,500 gallons of acetone was discovered. The release contaminated the sail to the southwest of a contained aboveground storage tank. The aboveground acetone storage tank has a capacity of 10,000 gallons and is located northwest of the formaldehyde plant and just south of the methanol storage tanks. Cleanup of the release resulted in 1500 pounds of acetone product collected in drums and contaminated soils were removed to the water table, approximately 5 feet below grade, and placed in plastic lined steel roll off containers. 7/ 10/1992 Wright Chemical submitted a corrective action plan tor the acetone spill consisting ol installing a recovery system toir a spring discharging acetone, installation of one monitoring well, and groundwater monitoring of the new well and spring. NC DEM approved the plan on SM93. 7/14/1992 wser- orner prepared and submitted on behalf of aiser a proposal or p ytoreme cation ot groundwater contamination at the former Kaiser p ant using cottonwood trees to remove excess nutrients. 1992 Use of the unlined equalization basin was phased out. The basin was located between existing wells MW-16 and MW-9 and was used to store wastewater from the production of hexamine and sulfuric acid. 3/16/1993 138 tons of acetone contaminated soil from the acetone spill was sent offsite to a landfill 5/4/1993 Kaiser received a permit to land -farm 350 cubic yards of petroleum contaminated soil excavated from near MW-4 on 2.61 acres of the former fertilizer plant property. 8/26/1993 Process wastewater spill 9/7/1993 Approximately 100 gallons of 50% formaldehyde solution was spilled while transferring from a tote into a tank. The hose used to transfer the formaldehyde solution ruptured and formaldehyde spilled into the containment area around the tank and into the dirt and rocks adjacent to the containment area and the railroad tracks. Estimated that 75% of the 100 gallons was spilled outside of containment. Soil and rocks contaminated with formaldehyde were removed from spill site to the on -site aeration basin. Area where spill occurred had natural underground springs with water percolating up out of the soil. Water contaminated with formaldehyde was pumped from spill site to the wastewater collection system. Page 4 of 8 Table 2-1 Site Chronology Wright Chemical Corp. Site - Riegelwood, NC Date Description 1994 Under the direction of the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR), Division of Water Quality, Groundwater Section, four unlined lagoons were closed. After the lagoons were drained, all of the sludge and contaminated soils were removed and placed into a lined monofilI north of the maintenance building. This project was completed in 1995. 2/18/1994 A paraformaldehyde spill occurred at Wright Chemical due to a broken seal on a gasket. Approx 5,600 pounds was released. Due to cool temperatures, most of the paraformaldehyde solidified and was scooped up. The remaining was excavated with surface soil. 7/21/1994 Black & Veatch performed a site reassessment of the Kaiser fertilizer plant that found no CERCLA eligible contamination on the property based on historical information review. ] 1/9/1994 A hexamine spill was reported by a citizen complaint that was running downhill and soaking into ground at the bottom, middle of plant. Approx 50 gallons based on telephone conversation log. Wright Chemical responded in an 11/1 1/1994 letter it was cooling tower water from cooling tower misting. 1/4/1995 SOC amendment for close-out of the remaining un-lined pond. Wright requested permission to construct a 3rd lined lagoon (Kelly pond), 4/10/1995 SOC P 90-29ADIwas signed for unlined pond elimination project, stormwater issues, and Tor Jormalclehy0e, nitrate, nttnte, TDS, Chromium, iron, manganese, and sulfate in the groundwater exceeding state standards.

Three samples were collected in the area of Wright Chemical and 4 were collected downstream of the site prior to Livingston Creek joining the Cape Fear River. Sample analyses included general water quality parameters and did not include metals or organic chemical analyses. Page 5 of 8 Table 2-1 Site Chronology Wright Chemical Corp. Site - Riegelwood, NC Date Description May-97 A Groundwater Assessment (CSA) was completed for Wright Corporation by Triangle Environmental Inc. Two shaliow groundwater monitoring wells (MW- 27 and MW-28) were installed at the Wright property on 311911997. TDS was present in concentrations ranging from 138 mg/L to 23,500 mg/L. TDS plume appeared to be centered on the Wright facility. Sulfate was present in the samples at concentrations ranging from less than detection to 17,100 mg1L. Sulfate plume appeared to be present in the western portion of the site and extends from the railroad tracks northward to MW-9. The source of the sulfate plume had a number of contributors including past spills along the rr tracks, the former sulfuric acid plant, the former alum plant, the former chambers plant, and seepage from the former unlined lagoons. Ammonia was present from 103 to 2,000 mg/L. The ammonia plume was centered in the western portion of the facility associated with M W -7, M W-8, MW-9 and MW-ACE. The source of the ammonia plume had a number of contributors including the production of fertilizer on the Kaiser property and the former unlined lagoons on the Wright property. Nitrate was present from less than detection to 311 mg/L. The nitrate plume appeared to be associated with the site of the former fertilizer manufacturing building located on the Kaiser property_ iron was present from less than detection to 1,500 mg/L. The iron plume appeared to be present in the western portion of the site extending from the tracks northward to MW-9. The source of the iron plume was likely to be the former chambers plant. Analysis of 1 I surface water samples from Livingston Creek did not identify any target contaminants above surface water quality standards. 6/16/1997 W RO-DWQ reviews CSA and responds via letter to Wright Corporation that the DWQ is in basic agreement with the subject assessment report and the contamination appears to be delineated vertically and horizontally. The division requested additional parameters be added to their non -discharge permit WO003361 surface water sampling program. The additional parameters were TDS, pH, ammonia, and iron. 9/5/1997 Wright submitted a corrective action plan (CAP) for sitewide groundwater by Sherrill Consulting. The principal groundwater contaminants at the site were total dissolved solids {TDS), sulfate, ammonia, nitrate, and iron. The CAP proposed natural attenuation. Oct-97 A fire occurred at the Fine Chemicals laboratory.

Riegelwood, NC 28456 Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit Permit No. NCS000533 Silar LLC MeddeR4u-rg County Dear Mr. Yurgel: Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. Please review the draft very carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains. 'The draft permit contains the following: - 1. Analytical monitoring parameters, BOD, COD, TSS, Ammonia, TKN, Total Nitrogen, Formaldehyde and pH, have been included in this permit because they are potential pollutants and were above the benchmarks in the data submitted with the application. 2. In stream sampling for Dissolved Oxygen and p I has been included for Outfall 005. 3. Acute Toxicity has been included for this site due to concerns about multiple toxic sources as well as onsite unknown chemical mixing and resultant unknown environmental toxicity. The ACUTE TOXICITY APPENDIX A. ACUTE TOXICITY TESTING FOR STORMWATER OUTFALLS has been _included at the end of the permit text. 4. Note that the draft permit allows this site to discontinue monitoring four parameters; Total Phosphorus, Methanol, Total Residual Chlorine, and Total Recoverable Lead, if the first eight samples are below benchmark values. These parameters were included in the draft permit at the request of the Wilmington Regional Office for consistency with the proposed NPDES stormwater permits for neighboring operations owned by Hexion Specialty Chemicals, Inc. and Oak Bark. 5. All analytical monitoring is set to quarterly during a representative storm event as defined in fart II Section B. The permittee must also document the total precipitation for each event. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating "No.F`^w" within 30 days of the end of the six-month sampling period. Additionally, samples must be taken a ' minimum of 60 days apart, as specified in Table 2. 6. ',.Benchmarks for analytical monitoring are included in this draft permit. Exceedances of benchmark ' 'values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management- actions, increase record ` keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program.

Wilmington Regional Office, Linda Willis Stormwater Permitting Unit Attachments: Draft Permit NCS000533 Sincerely, Brian Lowther Environmental Engineer Stormwater Permitting Unit 2 NCS000533 ADDENDUM —August 19, 2010 The draft permit was revised prior to public notice based on the recommendations of the WiRO and their desire to make the permits consistent. Parameters and monitoring frequency are now consistent with the Oak Bark and Hexion draft permits. Total Phosphorus (TP), Methanol, Total Residual Chlorine (TRC), and Lead were added to the monitoring suite as a result; however, the draft proposes monitoring may be discontinued if the first eight (8) samples are below benchmark values (because current industrial activities here may not be sources). Another change based on the WiRO staff report was to include in stream sampling for Dissolved Oxygen and pH at outfall 008. -BCL Page 9 of 9 NCS0005 -33 ;Kj;YA1F NC®ENR North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Water Quality Beverly Eaves Perdue.

Location: C; Sw 6. Analytical Monitoring Notes: See Table 1. Data submitted with application. • SOD, COD, TSS, Ammonia, TKN, Total Nitrogen, and Formaldehyde were over the benchmarks. • Based on the SIC of 2869 the industry is covered in the EPA Multi -Sector General Permit under Sector C Chemical and Allied Products Manufacturing, and Refining. The sector does not recommend any specific monitoring. • The reviewer recommends including BOD, COD, TSS, Ammonia, TKN, Total Nitrogen, and Formaldehyde into the renewed permit because they are potential pollutants and previous samples in the application were above our current benchmarks. • The reviewer recommends including acute toxicity monitoring. This recommendation is based on the site having many potential pollutants and poor housekeeping by the former owners as well as being requested by the regional office. See attached rationale document for Acute Toxicity for more details. Qualitative Monitoring Notes: Visual observations were done at Outfalls 002, 005 and 007 three different times. Two times there was no rain but no other outfalls were identified. That last time was done during rain and it was noted that there was no outfall from this source. All runoff was retained in the small retention pond south of the outfall. It was observed there was no oil sheen.

SOD, COD, TSS, Ammonia, TKN, Total Nitrogen, Formaldehyde and pH have been added to the permit because they are potential pollutants and were above the benchmarks in the data submitted with the application. Parameters in this permit include all chemicals reported by the applicant for the May 2009 sampling event, except for lead. • BOD and COD are appropriate for the various organic chemicals stored and used at the facility, and the site as a while has had numerous instances of elevated levels in the stormwater discharge (Outfalls 002, 003, 004, 0:5, & 006). • TSS is indicd_-:ve of housekeeping or other problems. TSS is also appropriate for a discharge to receiving waters plagues with turbidity problems. • Ammonia, TKN (organic nitrogen),.and Nitrate/Nitrite are above benchmarks in the submitted analysis and are present with this industrial activity. Nitrate/Nitrite was not above in the submitted data but in data from the Hexion file. • Total Lead is not proposed in the monitoring scheme because levels were well below the 0.03 mg/I benchmark, and it does not appear to be present in the materials here. Noted that there were very few benchmark exceedances in data collected from other outfalls at this site between 2000-09. Total Copper, zinc, and Manganese included because the potential pollutants and want to be consistent with Hexion and Oak Bark. • Hexamine and formaldehyde are included in the permit because they are potential pollutants. Samples for formaldehyde are above benchmarks in the submitted analysis. • pH is included because of its use as a general and immediate indicator of problems (especially with acid storage at this facility), as well as its importance in interpreting other data such as metals. • Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) is included because several oils are stored af this site, and fork-lift traffic may introduce such materials into the discharge. An alternative to just Oil and Grease (O&G), TPH can be measured with the same method EPA has approved for O&G: Method 1664, but using Silica Gel Treated N-Hexane Extractable Material (SGT-HEM) and an additional step that removes polar/fatty non - petroleum base d material from the sample. This method is not compound -specific but is less costly, and still provides an estimate of petroleum hydrocarbon concentration. This parameter is better targeted for petroleum based materials than O&G, which can include animal -based fats and oils. • Acute Toxicity has been included for this site due to concerns about multiple toxic sources as well as onsite unknown chemical mixing and resultant unknown environmental toxicity. The ACUTE TOXICITY APPENDIX A: -ACUTE TOXICITY TESTING FOR STORMWATER OUTFALLS has been include at the end of the permit text. ($ cL +G C � rW0"> A- �LoCwr+- 2. All analytical monitoring is quarterly during a representative storm event as defined in Part II Section B. This frequency is higher than the standard semi-annual, but is consistent with proposed monitoring in draft permits for the other manufacturers at this site (Flexion and Silar). The frequency is also appropriate given DWQ's elevated concern about stormwater contamination from past activities. Because the retention pond discharges more rarely, Oak -Bark will probably not see flow from its one outfall for many of those quarters. 3. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring are included with this draft permit. Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. If sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at any outfall then the facility should follow the Tiered response guidelines. 4. The permittee is required to collect all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during a representative storm event as defined in Part II Section B. Qualitative monitoring is required to coincide. 5. The flow reporting requirement is not included, per DWQ revised strategy. Total rainfall is in the permit, however, and can be used with impervious area information to estimate flow. Impervious area detail is Page 6of8 r 'i NCS000533 reouired to be documented in the permittee's SPPP. 6. Vehicle maintenance monitoring included, if ever applicable at this site (proposed quarterly to be consistent with other monitoring, which would occur at the same outfall). Discussions with permittee: Peter Yurgel/ Plant Manager, 91d-655-6980, 9/22/2009 1. Visual observations in the application describe the only outfalls as 002, 005, and 007 but the outfalls are listed as 001, 002, and 005. Are these the same outfalls? Outfolls are 001, 002 and 005. 007 is on the Ock-Bark Facility. 2. Outfall 007 drains to a small retention pond. Does the pond ever discharge? It is an Oak -Bork Facility. 3. The application says samples will be taken for pollutants from EPA Form 2F, tables 2F-2, 2F-3 and 2F-4. Have those been forwarded to us yet? Samples for all these parameters have not been taken. Samples are taken for parameters in the old Hexion permit. They are working with Linda Willis on this. 4. Do you have vehicle maintenance onsite? No. 5. What is your SIC code? 2869 Page 7 of 8 NCS000533 Recommendations: Based on the documents reviewed, the application information submitted on June 5, 2009 sufficient to issue an Individual Stormwater Permit. Prepared by (Signature) 2 �� Date Stormwater Permitting Unit Supery Date :�Mo for radie lennett Concurrence by Regional iceC�& �� bat % -:bo RO Water Quality Supervisor_0/l Date Regional Office Staff Comments (attach additional paf..,s as necessary) .co�CJ ,_O 14 At c�ltl� -Ak ems Page 8 of 8 Rationale for Using Acute Toxicity as a 5tormwater Test Parameter for Permitting r , NC DWQ Stormwater Permitting Unit NC DWQ Regional Offices had inquired about adding an acute toxicity testing parameter to some individual stormwater permits due to concerns about multiple toxic sources, onsite unknown chemical mixing and resultant unknown environmental toxicity, and chemical sources that may not have an appropriate benchmark available. After speaking with DWQ central office staff, regional office staff, environmental laboratory staff, and stormwater staff at other US states, DWQ SPU CO staff made the decision that adding acute toxicity may be appropriate as a test parameter in some cases. Rationale for Acute Toxicity Testing & Appropriateness of use: • Other states such as CT, SC, MO, and CA are using Acute Toxicity Testing (usually Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) Tests) in stormwater individual (and some general) permits as a test parameter and have found it to be useful parameter for a number of reasons (detailed below). Some states (CT) have found that using Acute Toxicity is also a useful parameter to educate permittees and the public on the concerns of contaminants on the impact on aquatic life. In this way the permittee understands the correlation between release of contaminants and aquatic toxicity more clearly rather than calling levels "bad." • NC DWQ also believes it could be a useful parameter in cases where: o DWQ cannot feasibly include all test parameters in a permit or ask the permittee to test specific chemicals stored on site (because of financial concerns, large numbers of parameters, or other concerns), even if we know what all the chemicals are; o DWQ may not have benchmarks available for all parameters that may be discharged from the site; o DWQ may not be able to predict environmental effects from mixed chemicals or chemicals produced by reactions when mixed that may be discharged from the site; o DWQ may not be able to know all chemicals that may be discharged from the site or these chemicals, or information about them, may be proprietary in nature; o DWQ may be concerned that the toxicity of some parameters (such as copper or other metals) may be difficult to predict due to variable environmental influences such as hardness, pH, etc. DWQ feels that the use of both a 48-hour pass/fail test and a 48-hour multi -dilution test is more conservative and will provide more information. a DWQ feels that although it is unlikely the organisms would be exposed to 100% stormwater for more than 24 hours, organisms may be exposed to dilute stormwater for longer than 24 hours. We feel that we would obtain more useful information using 48- hour tests. o After data are collected, if runoff is passing at 24 hours but is failing at 48 hours, the permit can be reassessed to see if a 24-hour exposure better reflects exposure at that particular site. o Neither the NC acute pass/fail procedure nor the EPA multi -concentration procedure requires that organism mortality be checked at 24 hours during a 48-hour test; however, DWQ may easily request labs to perform this. a o As the NC DWQ toxicity testing relies.,on benchmark screening [for stormwater discharges rather than a limit, use of a more conservative test with benchmarks does not have the same impacts as a test with limits. o EPA Region 6 (including TX) uses a 24-hour LCSO (multi -concentration) and Washington state uses a 24-hour test (with Hyallelo, not Ceriodaphnia). However, SC, CT, NJ, and MO all use a 48-hour test. Method: • Organism: Ceriodaphina dubio • Frequency: Once per year testing is recommended. • Dilution: Initial test is test of 100% stormwater effluent. Any subsequent follow up tests are more specific multiple dilution tests. Both tests are 48-hour tests. See Acute toxicity permit language Appendix A for more details. • Control: Specified in the methods. • Acute Test Type: See Acute toxicity permit language Appendix A for more details. i .-; A ALIT, � NCDENR North Carolina Department of'Environment and Natural Resources Division of Water Quality Beverly Eaves Perdue Coleen H.

The Plan shall include, at a minimum, the following items: 1. Site Plana The site plan shall p-iovide a description of the physical facility and the potential pollutant sources which may be expected to contribute to contamination of stormwater discharges. The site plan shall contain Vie;following: (a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle, -map or appropriately drafted equivalent map), showing the facility's'location in relation to transportation routes and surface waters, the name of the receiving.water(s) to which the stormwater outfall(s) discharges, or if the discharge is to a municipal separate storm sewer system, the name of the municipality and the ultimate receiving waters, and accurate latitude and longitude of the;point(s) of discharge. The general location map (or alternatively the site map) -shall identify whether each receiving water is impaired (on the siate's'303(d)'.list of impaired waters) or is located in a watershed for which'a TMDL has been established, and what the-parameter(s) of concern are. f` ; (b) A narrative description_ of storage practices, loading and unloading activities, outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and waste disposal practices. A narrative description of the potential pollutants which could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall. (c) A site map drawn to scale (including a distance legend) showing: the site property boundary, the stormwater discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial activity areas (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads), site topography, all drainage features and structures, drainage areas for each outfall, direction of flow in each drainage area, industrial activities occurring in each drainage area, buildings, existing BMPs, and impervious surfaces. The site map must indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious. (d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred at the facility during the three (3) previous years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts. (e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-storrrtwater discharges. The certification statement will be signed in accordance with the requirements found in Part 11I, Standard Conditions, Section Part 11 Page 1 of 10 Permit No. NCS000533 B, Paragraph 5. The permittee shall re -certify annually that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. 2. Stormwater Management Plan. The stormwater management plan shall contain a narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or minimize the exposure of significant materials to stormwater, including structural and nonstructural measures. The stormwater management plan, at a minimum, shall incorporate the following: (a) Feasibility Study. A review of the technical and economic feasibility of changing the methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure of materials and processes to stormwater..- Wherever practical, the permittee shall prevent exposure of all'storage areas, material handling operations, and manufacturing or fueling operations. In'areas where elimination of exposure is not practical, the stormwater management plan shall document the feasibility of diverting the stormwater runoff away from areas of potential contamination. (b) Secondary Containment Requireme_nts'and Records. Secondary containment is required for: bulk storage of ligtiid�materials; storage in.any amount of Section 313 of Title IIl of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority chemicals; and storage•in/any amount of hazardous substances, in order to prevent leaks and spills from/contaminating stormwater runoff. A table or summary of ali'such tanks and stored materials and their associated secondary containment areas -shall be maintained. If the secondary containment devices are connected to stor�rrnwate' conveyance systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices (which shall be secured closed with allocking 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 any material. Records documenting the individual making the observation, the description of the accumulated storrnwater, and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a period of five years. (c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management Practices (BMP) shall be provided. ' The installation and implementation of BMPs shall be based on the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually. 3. Spill Prevention and Response 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 the team) responsible for implementing the SPRP shall be identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and dated by each individual acknowledging their responsibilities for the plan. A responsible Part II Page 2 of 10 Permit No. NCS000533 , 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 Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure plan (SPCC) may be a component of the SPRP, but may not be sufficient to completely address the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may be incorporated by reference into the SPRP. 4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance and good housekeeping program shall be developed. The program shall list all Stormwater control systems, stormwater discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial activity areas (including material storage areas, material handling areas, disposal areas, process areas; loading and unloading areas, and haul roads), all drainage features and structures; and -existing structural BMPs. The program shall establish schedules of inspections, maintenance and housekeeping activities of stormwater control systems, as well as facility equipment, facility areas, and facility systems that present a potential for stoririwater exposure or stormwater pollution. Inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program. Timely compliance with the established schedules for inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping shall be recorded in writing -and maintained in the SPPP. 5. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill response and cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing�the training shall be identified, and theif annual training shall be documented by the"signature of each employee trained. 6. Responsible Party. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall identify a specific position(s) responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision to the Plan. Responsibilities for all components of the Plan shall be documented and position assignments provided. 7. Plan Amendment. The permittee shall amend the Plan whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, or maintenance which has a significant effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of 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 written re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. Each annual update shall include a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the BMPs listed in the BMP Summary of the Stormwater Management Plan. The Director may notify the pennittee 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 Part 11 Page 3 of 10 Permit No. NCS000533 submit a time schedule to the Director for modifying the Plan to meet minimum requirements. The permittee shall pr6vide certification in writing (in accordance with Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 5) to the Director that the changes have been made. 8. Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur as part of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a minimum on a semi-annual schedule, once during the first half of the year (January to June), and once during the second half (July to December), with at least 60 days separating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently than semi-annually). These facility inspections are different from, and in addiiion to, the stonnwater discharge characteristic monitoring required in Part II B and C of this permit. 9. Implementation. The permittee shall impleinent'the Plan: Implementation of the Plan shall include documentation of all monitoring, measurements,; inspections, maintenance activities, and training provided to employees; including the'log of the sampling data and of actions taken to implement BMPs associated with the industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance activities.

'f 1 Part 11 Page 4 of 10 Permit No. NCS000533 , SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be perfonned 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 20 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. The time between this storm event at c, the previous storm event measuring greater than 0.1 inches must be at least 72 hours. A single storm event may have a period of no precipitation of up to 10 hours. For example, if it rains but stops before producing.any collectable discharge, a sample may be collected if the next rain uroducin2 a discharge begins wiinin 10 hours. i, 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 within the benchmark range. 4. Implement the selected actions within two months of the inspection. 5. Record each instance of a Tier One response in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. Include the date and value of the benchmark exceedence, the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the selected actions, and the date the selected actions were implemented, Part II Page 7 of 10 Permit No. NCS000533 Tier Two If: During the term of this permit, the first valid sampling results from three consecutive monitoring periods are above the benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a fic discharge outfall: Then: The permittee shall: l . 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. 3. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee is required to submit a monthly I I monitoring report indicating "No Flow" to comply with reporting requirements. 4. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the Storinwater Pollution Prevention Plan. Tier Three During the term of this permit, if the valid sampling reslts rreq re for the permit monitoring periods exceed the benchmarlC value, or are outside the Ebench�mark range, for any specific parameter at any specific outfall on four occasions, the permittee shall notifyrthe DWQ Regional Office Supervisor in writing within 30 days of receipt of the fourth analytical. results DWQ may but is not limited to: s �u • require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring frequency for the remainder of the permit; • require the permittee to conduct acute toxicity testing on discharges; • 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 impaired waters experiencing problems with turbidity. If a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is approved for this segment of Livingston Creek, 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 the required level of control, the permittee will be required to (1) develop a strategy for implementing appropriate BMPs, and (2) submit a timetable for incorporation of those BMPs into the permitted Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. Part It Page 8 of 10 Permit No. NCS000533 . 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, during the analytical monitoring event. [If analytical monitoring is not required, the permittee still must conduct quarterly qualitative monitoring.] Qualitative monitoring is for the purpose of evaluating the effectiveness of the Stormwater Polltition Prevention PIan (SPPP) and assessing new sources of stormwater pollution.

Appendix A: Page 4 of 4 Pages NCS000533 APPENDIX A: ACUTE TOXICITY TESTING FOR STORMWATER OUTFALLS L ANNUAL TESTING (PASS/FAIL ACUTE TOXICITY TESTING): The permittee shall conduct acute toxicity tests on a yearly basis using protocols defined in the North Carolina Procedure Document entitled•"Pass/Fail Methodology for Determining Acute Toxicity in a Single Effluent Concentration" (Revised -July, 1992 or subsequent versions). The monitoring shall be performed as a `water flea" (Cerivdaphnua dubia) 48-hour static test. ,. Stormwater samples shall be collected as a single grab sample. Samples for self -monitoring purposes must be obtained during a representative storm event. The tests.will'be performed during the first six months of the year (January -June). If at any time there is significant mortality at a stormwater, effluent concentration of 100%, the results will be considered as a benchmark exceedance of toxicity. y All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit coridit on will be entered on the Stormwater Discharge Monitoring Form (DMR) for the month in which"it�was performed, using the parameter code TGA3B. One copy shall be submitted to Central Files, and one copy shall be submitted to the Stormwater Permitting Unit as follows: L Attention: Central File s Division of Water O�ality 1617 Mail Service•Center Raleigh; North Carolina 27699-1617 Attention: Stormwater Permitting Unit Division of Water Quality 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Additionally, DWQ Form AT-2 for Acute Pass/Fail Tests (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention: NC DENR 1 DWQ 1 Environmental Sciences Section 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621 Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be sent and postmarked to the Environmental Sciences Section and Central Files no later than 30 days after the end of the month in which the test was conducted. Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the stormwater toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the stormwater discharge. If there is no stormwater discharge from the facility during the months which toxicity monitoring is required, the permittee will complete the information located at both the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) Appendix A: Page 1 of 4 Permit No. NCS000533 Pest:form and DMR indicating the facility -name, permit number, stormwater outfall number, county, and the month/year of the report with the notation of "No Flow' in the comment area of the form. The permittee shall submit three (3) "no flow" reports: one report shall be submitted to the Environmental Sciences Section, one to the Stormwater Permitting Unit (SPU) Central Office, and one report shall be sent to Central Files at the address cited above. The permittee shall submit acute toxicity monitoring as outlined above, at the next available representative storm: event. H. ACTIONS FOR FAILURE OF PASS/FAIL TESTING: Should any single scheduled monitoring indicate a failure to meet toxicity benchmark levels, a series of measures shall occur: 1) Within 30 calendar days from availability of the test results,Ae permittee shall contact the Division SPU Central Office and the Regional Office Supervisor in writin . a. If other stormwater monitoring parameters have e_rceeded benchmark values, the Regional Office may exempt the permittee ,from additional acute toxicity monitoring (other than regularly scheduled test periods); at tlae Regional Office's discretion. The permittee shall continue to address all other stormwater parameter benchmark exceedances. . / ' �/ �Imo' b. If the permittee has not exceeded .other"benchmark values, or if the Regional Office does not exempt the permittee from additional monitoring, the permittee shall immediately institute monthly acute toxicity monitoring with a 48-hour multiple dilution test per U.S. EPA Method 20010: "Methods for Measuring the Acute Toxicity of Effluents to Fresh\vater and Marine Organisms,," EPA 821/R-02/012 (October 2002). A, Ji III. A CTIONS IF MONTHL Y MONITORING IS INSTITUTED (MUL TIPLE-DIL UTION TESTING): If -rhonthly acute toxicity monitoring is instituted per Section It above, the permittee shall perform the tests per the following conditions: 1) An LC50 greater than 100% shall be used as a benchmark passing endpoint; Stormwater Permitting Unit (SPU) Central Office may determine alternative endpoints as "passing" on a case -by -case basis, depending on the specific characteristics of the facility's stormwater discharge. Multiple dilution tests will be run at 100%, 50%, 25%, 12.5%, 6.25% and 0% stormwater unless other test concentrations are determined appropriate by the Stormwater Permitting Unit (SPU) Central Office. 2) Multiple Dilution Test Results shall be submitted on form AT-1 for Acute Multiple Dilution Tests. The parameter code is TAA313. The permittee shall: a. Submit form AT-1 (original) to the DWQ Environmental Sciences Section. b. Send a completed a Stormwater DMR form (original) with an attached form AT-1 (original) to DWQ Central Files. c. Send a completed a Stormwater DMR form (copy) with an attached form AT-1 (copy) to the DWQ Stormwater Permitting Unit. Appendix A: Page 2 of 4 Pages Permit No, NCS000533 3) : The permittee shall perform monthly acute toxicity monitoring until one of the following permit conditions is met: a. THREE CONSECUTIVE MULTIPLE -DILUTION TESTS PASS. No further tests need to be performed until next regularly scheduled test period. -OR- b. _EITHER OF THE FOLLOWING OCCURS: i. A TOT_?L OF FIVE MULTIPLE -DILUTION TESTS FAIL -OR- ii. THREE CONSECUTIVE MULTIPLE -DILUTION TESTS FAIL. If either of the above occurs, fiirther actions are nec•essaiy.- See IV. below. 4) The permittee shall suhruit a summary of all test results fonthe multiple dilution test series along with complete copies of the test reports as received from the laboratory to the Regional Office Supervisor, to DWQ Central Files and to SPU. These shall be'sent and postmarked within 30 calendar days of receipt of the last failed or passed multiple -dilution test (as described above in III. 3)). IV. ACTIONS FOR FAILURE OF MULTIPLE DILUTION TESTS (TRE, TRI or OTHER MEASURES): If the permittee fails either A TOTAL OF FIVE multiple -dilution tests or THE THIRD CONSECUTIVE multiple -dilution test as described in Section III 3) b., the permittee shall execute the following: t 1) A toxicity reduction evaL ai •:)n (TRE) shall be automatically instituted. Within 30 calendar days from availability of the test results, the permittee shall contact the Division SPU Central Office and the Regional Office Supervisor in writing. a. The permittee shall submit one copy of a plan for conducting a TRE to the DWQ SPU, and one copy to the DWQ Environmental Sciences' Section. These copies shall be submitted within 60 calendar days of the date of DWQ SPU's direction to perform the TRE. - b. This plan must be approved by DWQ SPU before the TRE is begun. A schedule for completing the TRE shall be established in the plan approval. A Toxicity Identification Evaluation (TIE) may be a component of the TRE. c. Upon DWQ's approval, the TRE schedule may be modified if toxicity is intermittent during the TRE investigations. A revised WET test schedule may be established by DWQ for this period. 2) Additionally after the first year that TRE results have been collected and submitted, depending on results the Regional Office nary (among options): • Require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls; • Require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures or BMPs; • Require the permittee to collect and treat the discharge and/or eliminate the discharge; • Require that the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for the No Exposure Exclusion; or Appendix A: Page 3 of 4 Pages Permit No. NCS000533 • Require that the permittee perform up -stream and downstream biological assessment in the receiving water. I V. MEASURES APPLICABLE TO ALL TESTS: All acute toxicity test results shall be submitted in a concise summary at the end of the five year permit term. One copy of this report shall be sent to the Regional Office Supervisor, one copy to the SPU Central Office, and one copy to the DWQ Environmental Sciences Section. Should any test data from either these monitoring requirements or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this;permit may be re- opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements. " If the Pennittee monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by this permit, the results of such monitoring shall be included in the calculation & reporting of the data submitted on the DMR & all Acute Toxicity Forms submitted.'~ NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited'document, such as minimum control organism survival and appropriate environmental controls, shal�'constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring.

Oak -Bark Corporation was formally Oak -Bark Corporation DBA Wright Corporation. In December 2006 a major portion of Wright Corporation was sold to Hexion Specialty Chemical. This sale transferred ownership of the Hexamine Plant, Formaldehyde Plant and Special Projects (producer of Ketone Resins and other specialty chemicals) to Hexion Specialty Chemicals. The remaining portion of Wright Corporation became Oak -Bark Corporation. The process left under the Oak -Bark (OBC) name were Silar, Fine Chemicals, Pharma and Dry Projects. At that time Hexion requested to transfer Wright Corporation's Storm Water Permit to Hexion and they would maintain all of the storm water outfalls. This continued until - November of 2008 when Hexion applied for a separate permit which left out four (4) of the existing outfalls (SW 001, SW002, SWO05 & Sw007). OBC was not made aware of this until Ms. Linda Willis NCDENR 1 Wilmington Regional Office contacted OBC and requested information on the status of OBC's new storm permit. At that time I started working to put this application together. On April 22, 2009 OBC sold another portion of its assets" Silar, to Monomer Polymers. Storm Water Outfalls SW001, SWO02 and SWO05 transferred over to the new company who will operate as Silar LLC. The new company (Sitar LLC) will file for their own separate storm water permit. Page 1 of 2 This leaves OBC with two operations, the Dry Projects Plant and the Pharma Plant. The Pharma Plant is currently not in operation and has been Idle since 2004. The attached permit application is associated with the Dry Projects operation only. There are three (3) products produced in the Dry Projects Plant and each are discussed in the attached. When the Phrma Plant restarts, we (NCDENR & OBC) will review that operation and determine if it requires a separate storm water permit or a revision to this request: This application covers only outfall SW007. The chemicals associated with this outfall are listed within. A map is also included which is intended to show the location of SWO07 and how surrounding processes and land elevations impacts that outfall. Enclosed you will find a check (# 74660), in the amount of $860.00 to cover this application request.
