Representative Outfall Status Request
CPI USA North Carolina LLC Southport Facility

Dear Ms. Grace:
ROY COOPER
Governor
MICHAEL S. REGAN
Secretary
WILLIAM E. (TOBY) VINSON, JR,
Interim Director
The Wilmington Regional Office staff of the Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources has
reviewed your request received March 22, 2018 for determination that Outfall 1C be granted
representative outfall status for Outfalls 1-6. Based on Mr. James and Mr. Lambe's site inspection on
April 17, 2018, we are approving this request. In accordance with 40 CFR §122.21(g)(7), you are
authorized to sample Outfall 1C as the representative outfall. This approval is effective with the next
sampling event. However, this approval is contingent on the following requirements:
(1) All outfalls, regardless of representative status, must have a cleared path and the right of way to
the outfall must be properly maintained.
(2) The permit still requires that Qualitative Monitoring be performed at all Stormwater Discharge
Outfalls, regardless of representative status.
(3) Revise the site map to accurately depict all sampling points. Sampling points should be defined
with GPS data, pictures, and site labels.
(4) Ensure that the Outfall 1C is within CPI USA North Carolina LLC leased property. Define leased
area on site map. Please submit the site map for our files.
In addition, please remember that any actions you initiate in response to benchmark exceedences as
directed in the tiered response provisions of your permit must address all drainage areas represented by
Outfall 1C, where appropriate.
Please append this letter to your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan or permit to document that
representative outfall status has been approved. If changes in drainage areas, structures, processes,
storage practices, or other activities occur that significantly alter the basis of this approval,
representative outfall status may no longer be valid. You should either resume sampling at all storm
water discharge outfalls, or reapply to this office for representative outfall status based on updated
information.

Permit: NCS000348 Owner - Facility: CPI USA North Carolina LLC
Inspection Date: 04/17/2018 Inspection Type : Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
Trent James and Brian Lambe inspected the Southport Power Plant in response to a request for representative outfall status.
The site is surrounded by a ditch on three sides with all outfalls 1-6 discharging at outfall 1C. Outfall 5 is not located as per
submitted documents, rather outfall 5 has been sampled at the location of 1C. All outfalls should be clearly labeled on site
and documented in the SWPPP. Please take pictures of the locations and take GPS data points to avoid any confusion in
the future. Please provide details of all sampling points to this office.
All sampling points did not have corresponding records, assumedly for no flow conditions. These must be documented for
submitted sampling dates in the future.
Representative Outfall Status (ROS) is granted. ALL outfalls are still subject to the qualitative monitoring requirements of
the facility's permit. The ROS approval letter from DEQ must be kept on site with the facility's Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan. The facility must notify DEQ in writing if any changes affect representative status.
Please clarify the definition of the site in terms of lease agreements. The question arose if the outfall 1C is within the lease
boundaries due to a November 24, 2014 map submitted with the ROS request. Submit a revised map indicating leased area.
During the inspection, a concern was raised of the bottom ash being uncovered and able to drain to the stormwater system.
This material should be undercover with containment.
Greater attention to housekeeping regarding the TDF is needed. There is scrap TDF throughout the yard. The TDF
stockpile is over the containment walls.
The site is granted representative outfall status to sample at one location, Outfall 1C (formally named outfall 5). This is
contingent on the concerns expressed previously.

Inspection Summary:
It was evident at the inspection there had been a lot of recent housekeeping and some additional measures installed. The
last Analytical Monitoring Data had slightly elevated levels, but that was prior to recent improvents. Since the semi-annual
sampling has not been conducted, we discussed looking at the upcoming samples to see if recent changes would
improve the sample results. If so great, if not then we would move on to Tier 1, as we talked about on site.

Comment: Represetative Outfall Status (ROS) was requested by the permittee but
never granted or denied. All StormWater (SW) Outfalls will need to be sampled until
ROS is granted or denied. If there is no flow from an outfall plesae note on sample
report. For SW Outfalls 002,003 & 005 you may sample from the culvert under railroad
track as the three outfalls combine discharge through one culvert.

1. Permit:
Your permit became effective May 1, 2002 and will not expire until April 30, 2007.
The permittee is reminded to read, understand and comply with all of the terms and conditions
contained in the permit. If you have questions concerning your responsibilities, call the

2. Facility Site Review:
The overall condition of the plant site was satisfactory. The appearance of the facility was in
acceptable condition indicating that the current housekeeping practices are very good.
3. Adequacy of Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP):
The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan appeared to be thorough and complete in providing
all of the required elements of the plan.
4. Vehicle/Equipment Maintenance Area:
Not Applicable.;
5. Vehicle/Equipment Wash Area:
Not Applicable.,,
6. Temporary Storage of Waste Materials:
The plan provides for secondary containment for any areas that could pose a potential for
contamination.
7. Outdoor Storage of Materials:
The plan provides for secondary containment for any areas that could pose a potential for
contamination.
8. Spill Response -and Cleanup Program:
Spill response is adequately addressed. It describes actions to be taken as well as team members
in charge of training and response to spill events.
9. Erosion Control on Site:
There are areas that require some erosion control planning. Any attempts taken to control
erosion on the site should be included in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
10. Illicit Discharge Elimination:
Not Applicable.
11. Wastewater Treatment Facilities:
Wastewater treatment is not required.

12. Stream Impacts/Results of Sampling:
Each stormwater discharge point was inspected. There did not appear to be any impacts to the
ditches or receiving stream for any of the stormwater discharge outfalls. The permittee has been
conducting all qualitative and quantitative inspections/sampling as required by the permit.
Summary:
Overall, the SWPPP is complete and thorough in all areas required by Permit # NCS000348.
A few comments for SWPPP improvement should be considered:
It would be beneficial to include a list in the SWPPP of all chemicals stored in the cooling
tower storage area. MSDS sheets should also be provided for each chemical listed.
Any erosion control efforts on site should be documented in the SWPPP.
