FV001 is on a Semi -Annual sampling basis with the last sampling conducted in November or 2018, so there are no issues from a sampling standpoint. We have had some recent issues with standing water on the sand filter and were fortunate enough to have the contractor that installed the sand filter system to come out and assess the issue. Upon evaluation, it was realized that we could have pluggage at the drain lines under grade which discharge to the outfall. The contractor is in the process today of removing the materials to access and replace these drain lines. The unanticipated bypass would occur if he cannot finish the job before an expected rainfall tomorrow. If this would occur, the stormwater run-off from the 4 inlet drains that would normally be filtered through the sand filter, would overflow directly into the ditch along River Road. This ditch drains through an unnamed tributary to the Cape Fear River. As per conversations with the contractor, if the work cannot be finished before tomorrow's rain event, it will be completed no later than Saturday, January 191h 2018. Once the work on the sand filter is complete, we will send you a follow-up email. Should you have any questions, please let me know.

CWA-04-2017-4510(b) CONSENT AGREEMENT I. Statutory Authority 0 Ei Cl c,s c.n era 1. This is a civil penalty proceeding pursuant to Section 309(g)(2)(B) of the Clean Water Act ("CWA"), 33 U.S.C. § 1319(g)(2)(B), and the Consolidated Rules of Practice Governing the Administrative Assessment of Civil Penalties, Issuance of Compliance or Corrective Action Orders and the Revocation, Termination or Suspension of Permits, including Subpart I, published at 64 Fed. Reg. 40,176 (July 23, 1999) and codified at 40 Code of Federal Regulations ("C.F.R.") Part 22. 2. The authority to take action under Section 309(g)(2)(B) of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. § 1319(g)(2)(13), is vested in the Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The Administrator has delegated this authority to the Regional Administrator of EPA, Region 4, who in turn has delegated this authority to the Director of the Water Protection Division, of the EPA, Region 4 ("Complainant"). IL Allegations 3. Cargill, Incorporated, ("Respondent") is a corporation formed under the laws of the State of Delaware and is therefore a `person" within the meaning of Section 502(5) of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. § 1362(5). 4. At all times relevant to this action, Respondent owned and/or operated a soybean and peanut processing facility ("Facility"), as identified by Standard Industrial Classification ("SIC") Code 2075, located at 1579 Underwood Road, Fayetteville, North Carolina 28312. 5. To accomplish the objective of the CWA, defined in Section 101(a) of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. § 1251(a), to restore and maintain the chemical, physical and biological integrity of the nation's waters, Section 301(a) of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. § 131 ](a), prohibits the discharge of pollutants by any person into waters of the United States except as in compliance with a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ("NPDES'') permit issued pursuant to Section 402 of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. § 1342. 6. Section 402 of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. § 1342, establishes a NPDES Permit Program authorizing the EPA or authorized states to administer the NPDES Permit Program, including the issuance of NPDES permits allowing for the discharge of pollutants, including stormwater, into navigable waters subject to specific terms and conditions. The EPA has granted the State of North Carolina, through the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality ("NCDEQ"), approval to issue NPDES permits pursuant to Section 402(b) of the CWA. 7. The NCDEQ issued General Permit to Discharge Storniwater Under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System, Permit No. NCG060000 ("Permit") for establishments primarily engaged in food and kindred products in accordance with the North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the CWA. The Permit became effective December 1, 2012, and will expire on October 31, 2017. Coverage under the Permit is obtained by submitting a Notice of Intent ("NOI") to NCDEQ. 8. The Respondent's permit was renewed on December 4, 2012, and requires Respondent to comply with all provisions of the Permit. 9. Part I1, Section A, Paragraph 1(a) of the Permit requires that the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan ("SPPP") contain: "A general location map, showing the facility's location in relation to transportation routes and surface waters; the name of the receiving waters to which the stormwater outfalls discharge," and "accurate latitude and longitude of the points of stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity," as wel I as "identify whether any receiving waters are impaired or if the site is located in a watershed for which a TMDL has been established." 10. Part II, Section A, Paragraph l(b) of the Permit requires that the SPPP contain: "A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities, outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and waste disposal practices. A narrative description of the potential pollutants that could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall." 11. Part II, Section A, Paragraph 1(c) of the Permit requires that the SPPP contain: "A site map drawn at a scale sufficient to clearly depict: the site property boundary; the stormwater discharge outfalls; all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands; industrial activity areas; site topography and finished grade; all drainage features and structures; drainage area boundaries and total contributing areas for each outfall; direction of flow in each drainage area; industrial activities occurring in each drainage area; buildings; stormwater Best Management Practices ("BMPs"); and impervious surfaces. The site map must indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious, and the site map must include a graphic scale indication and north arrow." 12. Part II, Section A, Paragraph 2 of the Permit specifies: "The Stormwater Management Strategy shall contain a narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or minimize the stormwater exposure of significant materials, including structural and nonstructural measures." 2 13. Part II, Section A, Paragraph 8 of the Permit specifies: "The permittee shall amend the SPPP whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, site drainage, maintenance, or configuration of the physical features which may have a significant effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of the SPPP shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis." 14. Part 11, Section B of the Permit specifies that stormwater samples be collected after a dry weather interval of at least 72 hours from a previous storm event and within the first 30 minutes of discharge (first flush condition). 15. Part 11, Section B of the Permit specifies that semi-annual monitoring is required for all discharge characteristics at each stormwater discharge outfall. 16. Part 11, Section B, Tier One of the Permit specifies: `'If: The first valid sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at any outfall; Then: The permittee shall conduct a stormwater management inspection of the facility within two weeks of receiving sampling results. Identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedance. Identify potential and select the specific: source controls, operational controls, or physical improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern, and/or to bring concentrations within the benchmark range. Implement the selected actions within two months of the inspection. Record each instance of a Tier One response in the SPPP. Include the date and value of the benchmark exceedance, the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the selected actions, and the date the selected actions were implemented." 17. Part III, Section C, Paragraph 1 of the Permit specifies: "The permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit." 18. Part 11I, Section D, Paragraph 2 of the Permit specifies: "For each measurement or sample taken pursuant to the requirement of this general permit. the permittee shall record ... the individual who performed the sampling or measurements." 19. Part 1I1, Section D, Paragraph 4 of the Permit requires that test procedures for the analysis of pollutants conform to 40 C.F.R. Part 136. The approved procedure for analyzing pH in 40 C.F.R. Part 136 is the electrode method. 20. On February 10, 2016, representatives of the EPA, in conjunction with the NCDEQ, performed a Compliance Stormwater Evaluation Inspection ("CSWEI") at the Facility to evaluate the Respondent's compliance with the requirements of Section 301 of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. § 1311; the regulations promulgated thereunder at 40 C.F.R. § 122.26; and the Permit. 21. Based on the EPA's observation during the CS WEI and the review of informatics provided to the EPA by the Respondent, the EPA has determined that the Respondent has failed to comply with the CWA, its implementing regulations, and the Permit. 22. Locks Creek (Waterbody ID: NC 18-28) and the Cape Fear River (Waterbody ID: NC18-(26)a) are two impaired waterbodies that were not discussed in the TMDL provision of the SPPP (Section 2.1.1) nor were they identified in a general location map in violation of Part I1, Section A, Paragraph I(a) of the Permit. 23. The "V" area, which contained exposed scrap materials and junk parts, and the truck parking area across Underwood Road were not identified and evaluated in the SPPP as a potential pollutant source in violation of Part II, Section A, Paragraph I (b) of the Permit. 24. The catchment basin and the sand filter basin were existing structural stormwater BMPs that were not depicted on the site map in violation of Part 1I, Section A, Paragraph 1(c) of the Permit. 25. A stormwater outfall, identified in the updated SPPP as Outfall FV006, was not identified in the December 20I5 SPPP nor the facility's site map as a permitted outfall in violation of Part II, Section A, Paragraph 1(c) of the Permit. 26. Section 4 of the SPPP did not include all the BMPs employed onsite. The sand filter basin for stormwater treatment, the catchment basin installed as a result of benchmark exceedances, and the mechanical sweeper used for housekeeping were BMPs that were not summarized in the SPPP as part of the Stormwater Management Strategy in violation of Part II, Section A, Paragraph 2 of the Permit. 27. Respondent's SPPP violated Part 1I, Section A, Paragraph 8 of the Permit by failing to amend, update, and modify according to the following site conditions and operations. a. The 2'x2'x2' catchment basin installed in December 2014 as a result of benchmark exceedances was not added to the SPPP. The SPPP had no information on how the design and operation of the catchment basin would reduce pollutant discharges through outfall FV002. b. The "V" area with its storage of junk parts and the truck parking area across Underwood Road were not evaluated in the SPPP as potential sources of exposed material which may have had a significant effect on the potential for discharge of pollutants to surface waters. The BMPs in Section 4 of the SPPP did not identify and discuss the design and operation of the sand filter basin for stormwater treatment. The Facility's exposed material list in Table 2-1 of the SPPP did not reflect the current site conditions. Several locations for these exposed materials had changed. e. The truck staging and parking area across Underwood Road was not evaluated in the SPPP for erosion and sediment control. Locks Creek (Waterbody ID: NC18-28) and Cape Fear River (Waterbody ID: NC 18-(26)a) have an impaired designated use of fish consumption with a Mercury TMDL. The TMDL Provision of the SPPP (Section 2.1.1) did not evaluate whether the discharges from Respondent had any significant effect on these two impaired waterbodies. 28. A stermwater outfall, identified in the updated SPPP as Outfall FV006, was not identified in the December 2015 SPPP nor the Facility's site map as a permitted outfall. The Facility did not have documentation of semi-annual monitoring at this outfall in violation of Part I1, Section B of the Permit. 29. The sampling log did not record the time when the discharge began. The only time recorded was the time of grab sample. The Facility did not have documentation of sampling within the first 30 minutes of flow (first flush condition) in violation of Part II, Section B of the Permit. 30. Respondent failed to record each instance of a Tier One response in the SPPP. Also, there were no status reports on the effectiveness of each of the following Tier One responses in the SPPP and in the routine site inspection reports in violation of Part II, Section B, Tier One of the Permit: Exceedances of benchmark values occurred at Outfalls FV002, FV003, and FV004. The permit requires the permittee to conduct a stormwater management inspection within two weeks of receiving sampling results, identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedance, and/or install stormwater BMPs in a tiered program. Outfall FV003's benchmark exceedances were: 7/21/2013 for Chemical Oxygen Demand ("COD") & Total Suspended Solids (`'TSS"), and 10/7/2013 for pH. A Tier 1 Checklist was completed only for the pH exceedance and the date of the inspection was not recorded, yet it is required to take place within two weeks of the sample date. No specific controls or improvements were identified to bring the concentrations within the benchmark range. No possible onsite causes were evaluated and an assumption was made that acid rainfall was the cause of the exceedance. b. At outfall FV002, a substantial number of benchmark exceedances.occurred for COD and TSS. The 10/712013 Tier 1 Checklist for TSS and COD exceedances lacked necessary information. The checklist said to "Identify and evaluation of possible causes. Explain." The response was "Post Shutdown Equipment in Area." This does not evaluate or explain the exceedance of TSS or COD. The date of the inspection was not recorded, yet it was required to take place within two weeks of the sample date. Also, in a 2014 feasibility study, a catchment basin was installed in December 2014. However, this basin had no apparent impact on reducing the COD and TSS exceedances at outfall FV002. Outfall FV004's benchmark exceedances were: 5/18/2013 COD, 4/7/2014 COD & TSS, 7/21/2014 TSS. The Facility conducted monthly benchmark sampling after the two consecutive TSS exceedances for August 2014-December 2015. The 4/7/14 Tier 1 Checklist that was performed for TSS and COD exceedances lacked necessary information. The date of the inspection was not recorded, yet it is required to take place within two weeks of the sample date. 31. Respondent violated Part II1, Section C, Paragraph 1 of the Permit regarding proper operation and maintenance practices. During the EPA's on -site evaluation of pollutant sources and SPPP implementation, the following operation and maintenance deficiencies were observed: a. The covered loadingfunloading area "B" had a fair amount of spilled materials on the floor. b. The material storage area had three uncovered dumpsters; two with organic materials and one with trash materials. C. The EPA observed several areas where good housekeeping practices were deficient: 1. The grain drying area had grain dust and grain materials on the ground. 2. The raw soybean dump area had grain on the ground. 3. Exposed soybean meal storage with soybean meal and grain dust several inches thick was observed on the ground. 4. The material storage area had various materials on the ground. Secondary containment for the chemical tote storage was full of liquid. The lock at the drain pipe was unlocked. This could have potentially caused site personnel to accidentally release this liquid without properly evaluating the pollutant level. e. The EPA observed the following areas where sediment and erosion controls were lacking: 1. Sediment deposit was observed in the roadway and in the ditch at the River Road entrance area. 2. Construction activity along Building 1 did not appear to have the necessary state permit for construction activity due to the Facility having more than 1 acre cumulatively disturbed. No perimeter BMPs were observed, resulting in uncontrolled sediment loss outside of the construction area. 3. Extensive sediment accumulation was observed surrounding outfall FV002. 4. Small rills were observed in several areas along the "V" area. 5. The truck staging and parking area across Underwood Road was not evaluated in the SPPP for erosion and sediment control. Concrete staining from a past spill draining into a ditch along Underwood Road was observed. g. The "V" area had a large amount of unprotected and uncovered used equipment and parts. Staining on the ground was observed in many spots throughout the disposal area. 32. Chain of Custody forms did not have signatures of all individuals who handled the samples in violation of Part III, Section D, Paragraph 2 of the Permit. 33. Laboratory bench data showed that the test procedure for pH was conducted with a paper pH test strip instead of the approved electrode probe/meter equipment in violation of Part III, Section D, Paragraph 4 of the Permit. 34. Based on the CSWEI and due to the hydrology of the Facility and historic rainfall data, the EPA has determined that from September 2012 to March 2016, stormwater associated with industrial activities discharged to Locks Creek, a tributary of the Cape Fear River. The Cape Fear River is a traditionally navigable water of the United States as defined by Section 502(7) of the Act, 33 U.S.C. § 1362(7) and its implementing regulations at 40 C.F.R. § 122.2. This discharge occurred while the Facility was in violation of the Permit. 1311. 35. Therefore, the Respondent has violated Section 301 of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. § lll. Stipulations and Findings 36.

To accomplish the objective of the CWA, defined in Section 101(a) of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. § 1251(a), to restore and maintain the chemical, physical and biological integrity of the nation's waters. Section 301(a) at -the CWA. 33 U.S.C. § 131 ](a), prohibits theAischarge of pollutants by any person into waters of the United States except as in compliance with a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ("NPI)ES-) permit issued pursuant to Section 402 of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. § 1342, 6. Section 402 of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. §� 1342, establishes a NPDES Permit Program authorizing the EPA or authorized states to administer the NPDES Permit Program, including the issuance of NPDES permits allowing for the discharge of pollutants, including stormwater, into navigable waters subject to specific tennis and conditions. The EPA has granted the State of North Carolina, through the North Carolina Department ol'Environmental Quality ("NCDEQ"), approval to issue NPDB permits pursuant to Section 402(b) of the CWA. 7. The NCDEQ issued General Permit to Discharger Stormwater Under the iVational Pollutant Discharge Elimination Svstenr, Permit Nor iVCGO60000 (`Permit') for establishments primarily engaged in food and kindred products in accordance with the North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the CWA.

The Respondent's permit was renewed on December 4. 2012, and requires Respondent to comply with all provisions of the Pen -nit. 9. Part 11, Section A, Paragraph I(a) of the Permit requires that the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan C-SPPP") contain: "A general location map. showing the facility's location in relation to transportation routes and surface waters; the name of the receiving waters to which the stormw'atcr outfalls discharge.'' and "accurate latitude and longitude of the points of' stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity." as well as "identi k- whether any receiving waters are impaired or if the site is located in a watershed for which a TMDL has been established..' 10. Part Il, Section A, Paragraph I(b) of the Permit requires that the SPPP contain: "A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities, outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating; or control processes, and waste di.spoaal practices. A narrative description of the potential pollutants that could be expected to he present, in the stormwater discharge from each outfall." 11. Part 11, Section A, Paragraph 1(c) of the Permit requires that the SPPP contain: "A site map drawn at a scale sufficient to clearly depict: the site' property boundary: the stormwater discharge outfalls; all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial activity areas, site topography and finished grade; all drainage features and structures; drainage area boundaries and total contributing areas tar each outfall; direction of flow in each drainage; area; industrial activities occurring in each drainage area; buildings; stormwater Best Management Practices (' 13MI's"); and impervious Surfaces. The site map must indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious, and the site map must include a graphic scale indication and north arrow." 12. Part 11, Section A, Paragraph 2 of the Permit specifies: "The Stormwater Management Strategy shall contain a narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or minimize the stormwater exposure of significant materials, including structural and nonstructural measures." ,13. Part 11, Section A, Paragraph 8 of the Permit specifies: `'The permittee shall amend the SPPP whenever there is a change in design; construction, operation, site; drainage, inaintenance, or configuration ofthe physical features which may have a significant effect on the potential -for the discharge ofpollutants.to surface waters. All aspects of the SPPP shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis:.. 14, Part 11, Section B of time Perrnit specifies that stormwater samples be collected after a dry weather interval of at least 72 hours from a previous storm event and within the first 30 minutes ofdiscltarge (first flush condition). 15. Part 11, Section B of the Permit specifies that semi-annual monitoring is required for all discharge characteristics at each stormwater discharge outfall. 16. Part 11, Section 13, Tier One of the Permit specifies: "If: The first valid sampling results are above,a bcnehmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at any outfall; Then: The permittee shall conduct a'stormwatcr management inspection of the facility within two weeks of receiving sampling. results. Identify and.evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedance. Identify potential and select the specific: source controls, operational controls, or physical improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern, and/or to bring concentrations within the benchmark range. implement the selected actions Within.two months of the inspection. Record each instance of a Tier One,response in the SPPP_ Include the date and value of the benchmark exceedance, the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the selectedactions, and the date the selected actions were implemented... 17. Part III, Section C, Paragraph I of the Permit specifies: '`The permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit." 18.

Part 111. Section D,'Paragraph 4 of the Permit requires that test procedures for the analysis of pollutants conform to 40 C.F.R. Part 136. The approved procedure for analysing pH in 40 C.F.R. Part 136 is the electrode method. 20. On February 10, 2016, representatives bf the EPA, in conjunction with the yCDEQ. performed a Compliance Stormwater Evaluation Inspection ("CSWEF'J at the Facility to evaluate the Respondent's compliance with the requirements of Section 301 of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. §'131 1; the regulations promulgated thereunder at 40 C.F.R. § 122.26; and the Permit. 21. Based on the EPA-s observation during the CSWE1 and the review of information provided to the EPA by the Respondent, the EPA has determined that the.Respondent has failed to comply with the CWA, its implementing regulations, and the Permit.. 22, Lacks Creek (Waterbody ID: NC 18-28) and the Cape Fear River (Waterbody ID: NC I8426)a) are two impaired waterbodies that were not discussed in the TMDL provision of the SPPP (Section 2.1.1) nor were they identified in a general location map in violation of Part 11, Section A, Paragraph I(a) of the Permit. 23. The "V'- area, which contained exposed scrap materials and junk parts, and the truck parking area across Underwood Road were not identified and evaluated in the SPPP as a potential pollutant source in violation of Part 11, Section A, Paragraph I(b) of the Permit. 24. The catchment basin and the sand filter basin were existing structural stormwater BMPs that were not depicted on the site map in violation of Part 11, Section A, Paragraph 1(c) of the Permit. 25. A stormwater outfall, identified in the updated SPPP as Outfall FV006, was not identified in the December 20I5 SPPP nor the Facility's site map as a permitted omtali in violation of Part It, Section A, Paragraph I(c) of the Permit. 26, Section 4 of the SPPP did not include all the BMPs employed onsite. The sand filter basin for stormwater treatment, the catchment basin installed as a result of benchmark exccedances, and the mechanical sweeper used for housekeeping were BMPs that were not summarized in the SPPP as part of the Stormwater Management Strategy in violation of Part 11, Section A, Paragraph." of the Permit. 27. RespL)ndcnt's'SPI'P violated Part II. Section A, Paragraph 8 ofthc Permit by failing to amend, update, and modify according to the following site conditions and operations: a. The 2'x2'x2' catchment basin installed in December 2014 as a result of benchmark exceedances was not added to the SPPP. The SPPP had no information on how the design and operation of the catchment basin would reduce pollutant discharges through outfall FV00-1. b. The "V" area with its storage of junk parts and the truck parking area across Underwood Road were not evaluated in the SPPP as potential sources of exposed material which may have had a significant effect on the potential for discharge of pollutants to surface waters. C. The BMPs in SLvtion 4 of the SPPP did not identify and discuss the design and operation of the sand filter basin for stormwater treatment. d. The Facility's exposed material list in Table 2-1 ofthe SPPP did not reflect the current site conditions. Several locations for these exposed materials had changed. The trtck.staging and parking area across Underwood Road was not evaluated in the SPPP for erosion and sediment control. f. Locks Creek (Wat6body I D: NC 18-28) and Cape Fear River (Waterbody I D: NC18-(26)a) have an impaired designated use of fish consumption with it ,Mercury TMDL. The TMDL Provision of the SPPP (Section 2.1.1) did not evaluate whether the discharges from Respondent had any significant effect on these two impaired waterbodies. 28. A stormwater outfall, identified in the updated SPPP as Outfall FV006, was not identified in the December 2015 SPPP nor the Facility's site map as a permitted otttfall. The Facility did not have documentation of semi-annual monitoring at this outfall in violation of Part 11, Section B of the Permit. 29. The sampling log did not record the time when the discharge began. The only time recorded was the time of grab sample. The Facility did not have documentation of sampling within the first 30 minutes of flow (first flush condition) in violation of Part I1, Section B of the Permit. 30. Respondent failed to record each instance of a Tier One response in the SPPP. Also, there were no status reports on the effectiveness of each of the following; Tier One responses in the SPPP and in the routine site inspection reports in violation of Part II, Section B, Tier One of the Permit: Exceedances of benchmark values occurred at Outfulls FV002, FV003, and FV004. The permit requires the permittee to conduct a stormwater management inspection within t-wo weeks of receiving sampling results, identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedance, and/or install stormwater RMPs in a tiered program. Outfalf FV003's benchmark exceedances were: 7/21/2013 for Chemical Oxygen Demand (--COD") & Total Suspended Solids ("TSS''), and 10/7/2013 for pli. A Tier I Checklist was completed only for the pH exceedance and the date of the inspection was not recorded, yet it is required to take place within two weeks of the sample date. No specific controls or improvements were identified to bring the concentrations within the benchmark range. No possible onsite causes ;vere evaluated and an assumption was made that acid rainfall was the cause of the exceedance. b. At outfall FV002, a substantial number of benchmark exceedances occurred for COD and TSS. The I O/7t2013 Tier'l Checklist for TSS and COD exceedances lacked necessary inlormation.'['lie checklist said to "Identify° and evaluation of passible causes. Explain." The response was "Post Shutdown Equipment in Area." This does not evaluate or explain the exceedance of TSS or COD. The date of the inspection was not recorded, yet it was required to take place within two weeks of the sample date. Also, in a 2014 feasibility study, a catchment basin was installed in December 2014. However, this basin had no apparent impact on reducing. the COD and TSS exceedances at outfall FV002. Outfall FV004's benchmark exceedances were: 5/19/2013 COD. 4i7/3014 COD TSS, 7/21/2014 TSS, The Facility conducted monthly benchmark sampling; after the two consecutive TSS exceedances for August 2014-December 2015. The 417/14 Tier I Checklist.that was performed for TSS and COD exceedances lacked necessary information. The date of the inspection was not recorded, yet it is required to take place within two weeks of the sample date. 31. Despondent violated Part 11I, Section C, Paragraph 1 of the Permit regarding; proper operation and maintenance practices. During the I-PA's on -site evaluation of pollutant sources and SPPP implementation, the following; operation and maintenance deficiencies were observed: a. The covered loading/unloading area "B" had a fair amount of spilled materials on the floor. b. The material storage area had three uncovered dumpsters; two with organic materials and one with trash materials. C. The EPA observed several areas where good housekeeping; practices were deficient: 1. The gratin drying area had grain dust and grain materials on the ground. 2. The raw soybean dump area had grain on the ground. 3. Exposed soybean meal storage with soybean meal And gratin dust several inches thick was observed an the ground. 4. The material storage area had various materials on the ground. d: Secondary containment for the chemical tote storage was'/-, full of liquid. The lock at the drain pipe was unlocked. This could have potentially caused site personnel to accidentally release this liquid without properly evaluating the pollutant level. e. The EPA observed the following; areas where sediment and erosion controls were lacking: 1. Sediment deposit was observed in the roadway and in the ditch at the River Road entrance area. ?. Construction activity along Building; I did not appear to have the necessary state permit for construction activity due to the Facility having; more than I acre cumulatively disturbed. No perimeter BIMPs were observed, resulting in uncontrolled sediment loss outside of the construction area. 3. Extensive sediment accumulation was observed surrounding outfall FV002. 4. Small rills were observed in several areas along the "V" area. 5. The truck staging and parking area across Underwood Road was not evaluated in the SPPP for erosion and sediment control. Concrete staining from a past spill draining into a ditch; along Underwood Road was observed. g;. The "V".area had a large amount of unprotected and uncovered used equipment and parts. Staining on the ground was observed in many spots throughout the disposal area. 32. Chain ot'Custody forms did not have signatures of all individuals who handled the samples in violation of Part 111, Section D, Paragraph 2 of the Permit. 33. laboratory bench data showed that the test procedure for pH was conducted with a paper pH test strip instead of the approved electrode probe/meter equipment in violation of Pan 111, Section D, Paragraph 4 of the Permit. 34. Based.on the CSWEI and due to the hydrology of the Facility and historic rainfall data, the EPA has determined that from September 2012 to March 2016, stormwater associated with industrial activities discharged to locks Creek, a tributary of the Cape Fear River. The Cape Fear River is a traditionally navigable water of the United States as defined by Section 502(7) of the Act. 33 U.S.C..§ 1362(7) and its implementing regulations at 40 C.F.R. 122.2. This discharge occurred while the Facility was in violation of the Permit. 1311. 35. Therefore, the Respondent has violated Section 301 of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. Ill. Stipulations and Findings 36.

(Cargill) facility, located at 1754 River Road, Cumberland County, North Carolina, 28312 for which Cargill is the owner and operator. The purpose of the CSWEI was to evaluate Cargill's compliance with the requirements of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (CWA), 33 U.S.C. § 1311; the regulations promulgated thereunder at 40 C.F.R. § 122.26; and the State of North Carolina's General Permit to Discharge Stormwater, issued pursuant to Section 402(p) of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. § 1342(p) for establishments primarily engaged in Food and Kindred Activities, Permit No. NCG060000 (Permit). The CSWEI inspection report was submitted to Cargill on March 23, 2016 for its review. The CSWEI inspection report; the EPA's review of Cargill's response to the CSWEI inspection report, elated May 5, 2016; and EPA's review of Cargill's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP), dated December 2015, have revealed that Cargill failed to comply with the requirements of Section 301 of the CWA. 33 U.S.C. §§ 1311; its implementing regulations at 40 C.F.R. § 122.26; and the Permit. Specifically, the EPA hereby notifies Cargill pursuant to Section 309(a) of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. § 1319(a), of the following violations: Part I, Section B of the Permit states that "Any other point source discharge to surface waters of the state is prohibited unless it is an allowable non-stormwater discharge or is covered by another permit, authorization, or approval." At the " Environatental Pit No. 2 " area, a pipe from the facility was observed discharging into an underground flowing stream. Water at the outlet of this pipe was very cloudy and bubbling. This pipe is not listed in the SPPP or the facility's site ntap as a permitted outfall. Also, it is not identified or listed in the SPPP as an allowable non-stormwater discharge. It is unclear as to the drainage area or sources of this non-stormwater discharge observed in dry weather conditions. 2. Part II, Section A, Paragraph ](a) of the Permit states that the SPPP shall contain: "A general location map, showing the facility's location in relation to transportation routes and Internet Address (URL) • http://www,epa.gov Recycled/Recyclable • Printed with Vegetable Oil Based Inks on Recycled Paper (Minimum 30% Postconsumer} surface waters; the name of the receiving waters to which the stormwater outfalls discharge," and "accurate latitude and longitude of the points of stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity," as well as "identify whether any receiving waters are impaired or if the site is located in a watershed for which a TMDL has been established. " A current review of the Waterbody listing status indicates that both the Locks Creek (Waterbody ID: NC18-28) and Cape Fear River (Waterbody ID: NC18-(26)a) have on impaired designated use of fish consumption with a Mercury TMDL. These two impaired waterbodies were not discussed in the TMDL provision of the SPPP (Section 2.1.1) nor were they identified in a general location snap. Part 11, Section A, Paragraph 1(b) of the Permit states that the SPPP shall contain: "A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities, outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and waste disposal practices. A narrative description of the potential pollutants that could be expected to be present in the storm water discharge froin each outfall. " a. The " V" area which contains exposed scrap materials and junk parts was not identified and evaluated in the SPPP as a potential pollutant source. b. The truck staging and parking area across Underwood Road was not identified and evaluated in the SPPP as a potential pollutant source for sediment runoff. 4. Part 11, Section A, Paragraph I (c) of the Permit states that the SPPP shall contain: "A site slap drawn at a scale sufficient to clearly depict: the site property boundary; the stormwater discharge outfalls; all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands; industrial activity areas; site topography and finished grade; all drainage features and structures; drainage area boundaries and total contributing areas for each outfall; direction of flow in each drainage area; industrial activities occurring in each drainage area; buildings; stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs); and impervious surfaces. The site map must indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious. " Ci. The 4 storm drains at the West side of the facility were not identified tit the SPPP and were not depicted in the site map cis potential overflow/discharge points. According to the faciliti, representative, they are designed to overflow during a heavy rain event through a concrete berin structure into a conveyance that goes off -site. b. The truck staging and parking circa across Underwood Road was not identified in the site snap as (tit industrial activity area with a potential pollutant source for sediment runoff. C. The catchment basin and the sand filter basin were existing stormwater BMPs that were not depicted on the site snap. Part 11, Section A, Paragraph 2 of the Permit states: "The Stormwater Management Strategy shall contain a narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or minimize the stormwater Lrposure of significant materials, including structural and nonstructural measures." Section 4 of the SPPP did not include all the BMPs employed onsite. The sand filter basin for stormwater treatment, the catchment basin installed as a result of benchmark exceedances, and the mechanical sweeper used far housekeeping ivere BMPs that were not summarized in the SPPP cis part of the Stormwater Management Strategy. 6. Part 11, Section A, Paragraph 8 of the Permit states: "The permittee shall amend the SPPP whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, site drainage, maintenance, or configuration of the physical features which may have a significant effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of the SPPP shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis." a. The 4 storm drains at the West side of the facility were designed to overflow during a heavy rain event into a conveyance that goes off -site. These 4 storm drains and their potential overflow points from the concrete berm structures were not listed in the SPPP as permitted outfalls. It is unclear as to the site drainage area and the design storm event conditions that would result in a discharge. b. The 2 'x2'x2' catchment basin installed in December 2014 as a result of benchmark exceedance was not added to the SPPP. The SPPP has no information on how the design and operation of the catchment basin would reduce pollutant discharges through ozrtfall FV002. C. The "V " area with its storage of junk parts, and the truck staging area across Underwood Road were not evaluated in the SPPP as potential sources of exposed material which may have a significant effect on the potential for discharge of pollutants to surface waters. d. The BMPs in Section 4 of the SPPP did not identify and discuss the design and operation of the sand filter basin for stormwater treatment. e. The facility's exposed material list in Table 2-1 of the SPPP does not reflect current site conditions. Several locations for these exposed materials have changed (e.g., sulfuric acid and the diesel tank). f. The truck staging and parking area across Underwood Road was not evaluated in the SPPP for erosion and sediment control. g. Locks Creek (Waterbody ID: NC18-28) and Cape Fear River- (Waterbody ID: NCI8- (26)a) have an impaired designated use offish consumption with a Mercury TMDL. The TMDL Provision of the SPPP (Section 2.1.1) did not evaluate whether the discharges from Cargill have any significant effect on these two impaired waterbodies. Part Il, Section, B of the Permit specifies that stormwater samples shall be collected after a dry weather interval of at least 72-hours front the previous storm event and within first 30 minutes of discharge first flush condition). Sampling log does not record the time when discharge began. The only time recorded is the time of grab sample. The facility did not have documentation of sampling within the first 30 minutes of flow (first flush condition). 8. Part II, Section B, Tier One of the Permit states: "If the first valid sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for arty parameter at arty outfall; Then the permittee shall conduct a stormwater management inspection of the facility, identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedance, identify potential and select the specific: source controls, operational controls, or physical improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern, and/or to bring concentrations within the benchmark range, implement the selected actions within two months of the inspection, and record each instance of a Tier One response in the SPPP. Include the date and value of the benchmark exceedance, the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the selected actions, and the date the selected actions were implemented." Exceedances of benchmark values occurred at Outfalls FV002, FV003, and FV004. The permit requires Cargill to conduct a stormwater management inspection within two weeks of receiving 3 sampling results, identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedance, card/or install stormwater BMPs in a tiered program. 1. a. Outfall FV003 's benchmark exceedances were: 712112013 for COD & TSS, and 10/712013 for pH. A Tier I Checklist was completed only for the pH exceedance and the date of the inspection: was not recorded, yet it is required to take place within 2 weeks of the sample date. No specific controls or improvements were identified to bring the concentrations within the benchmark range. No possible onsite causes were evaluated; an assumption of rainfall pH was identified as the cause. b. At outfall FV002, benchmark exceedances occurred 17 times out of 23 sampling events for COD (73% exceedance rate), and 12 times out of 23 sampling events for TSS (52% exceedance rate). COD exceedances ranged from 175 to 725 mg1l (tip to 504% over the benchmark value) and TSS exceedances ranged front 104 to 1640 mg1l (up to 1,540% over the benchmark value). The 101712013 Tier I Checklist for TSS and COD exceedances lacked necessary information. The checklist said to "Identify and evaluation of possible causes. Explain. " The response was "Post Shutdown Equipment in Area. " This does not evaluate or explain the exceedance of TSS or COD. The date of the inspection is not recorded, yet it is required to take place within 2 weeks of the sample date, Also, in a 2014 feasibility.study, a catchment basin was installed in December 2014. However, this catch basin has had no apparent impact on reducing the COD and TSS exceedances at outfall FV002. The current plan is to eliminate outfall FV002 and route all stormwater runofffrom outfall FV002 to outfall FV003. It is unclear how outfall FV003 can meet its benchmark value after tying in with outfall FV002 without additional BAIP practices and/or structural controls for COD and TSS removal. c. Out/all FV004's benchmark exceedances were: 511812013 COD, 41712014 COD & TSS, 712112014 TSS. The facility conducted monthly benchmark sampling after the 2 consecutive TSS exceedances for August 2014-December 2015. The 417114 Tier 1 Checklist that was penforinned fo- TSS and COD exceedances lacked necessary information. The date of the inspection was not recorded, yet it is required to take place within 2 weeks of the sample date. The record said the storm water retention basin was cleaned. This feature was not observed during the inspection, but a sand filter was observed onsite. The possible cause for the high COD and TSS was identified as heavy pollen. 9. Part II, Section B, Tier Two condition of the Permit specifies that for any two consecutive benchmark value exceedances, Cargill should immediately institute monthly monitoring for all parameters. Monthly monitoring shall continue until three consecutive sample results are below the benchmark values. Monthly sampling is required at outfall FV002 clue to chronic exceedance of the benchmark values for COD and TSS in years 2013 and 2014. Sampling records reviewed during the inspection were missing monthly sampling data for January, February, March and April, 2014. 4 10. Part III, Section C, Paragraph 1 of the Permit states: "Tile permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions of this Permit. " During EPA 's on -site evaluation of pollutant sources and SPPP implementation, the following operation and maintenance deficiencies were observed: a. The covered loading/unloading area " B" has a fair amount of spilled materials on the floor. This could result in vehicle tracking ofsolid material off -site and into road side storm drains. b. Material storage area has three uncovered dumpsters; two with organic materials and one with trash materials. c. EPA obsen�ed several areas where good housekeeping practices were deficient: 1. The grain drying area had grain dust and grain materials on the ground. 2. The raw soybean dump area had grain on the ground. 3. Exposed soybean meal storage with soybean meal and grain dust several inches thick was observed on the ground. 4. The material storage area had various materials on the ground. d. Secondary containment for the chemical tote storage was V full of liquid. The lock at the drain pipe was unlocked. This can potentially cause site personnel to accidentally release this liquid without properly evaluating the pollutant level. e. EPA observed several areas where sediment & erosion controls were lacking: 1. EPA observed sediment deposit in the roadway and in the ditch at the River Road entrance area. 2. Construction activity along Building I does not appear to have the necessary state permit for construction activity due to the facility having more than 1 acre cumulatively disturbed. No perimeter BMPs were observed, resulting in uncontrolled sediment loss outside of the construction area. 3. Extensive sediment accumulation was observed surrounding outfall FV002 which can contribute to high TSS benchmark levels. 4. Small rills were observed in several areas along the " V " area. 5. The truck staging and parking area across Underwood Road was not evaluated in the SPPP for erosion and sediment control. f Concrete staining from past spill draining into a ditch along Underwood Road was observed. g. The "V " area has a large amount of unprotected and uncovered used equipment and parts. Staining on the ground was observed in many spots throughout the disposal area. 11. Part III, Section D, Paragraph 2 of the Permit states: "For each nteasurentent or sample taken pursuant to the requirement of this general permit, the permittee shall record... the individual who performed the sampling or measurements. " Chain of Custody forms do not have signatures of all individuals who handled the samples. 12, Part III, Section D, Paragraph 4 of the Permit requires that test procedures for the analysis of pollutants conform to 40 C.F.R. 136. The approved procedure for analyzing pH ill 40 C.F. R. 136 is the electrode method. 5 Laboratory bench data showed that the test procedure for pH was conducted with a paper pH test strip instead of the approved electrode probe/meter equipment. Until compliance with the CWA is achieved, Cargill is considered to be in violation of the CWA and may be subject to enforcement action pursuant to Section 309 of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. § 1319. This Section provides for the issuance of administrative penalty and/or compliance orders and the initiation of civil and/or criminal actions. The EPA also requests that representatives of Cargill contact the EPA within seven (7) business days of receipt of this letter to arrange a meeting in this office to show cause why the EPA should not take formal civil enforcement action against Cargill for these violations and any other potential violations, including the assessment of appropriate civil penalties. Also, Cargill should discuss the status of ongoing SPPP update, sampling monitoring procedures, additional BMP implementation, and outfall evaluations as detailed in its response to EPA's CSWEI dated May 5, 2016. In lieu of appearing in person, a telephone conference may be scheduled. Cargill should be prepared to provide all relevant information with supporting documentation pertaining to the violations, including but not limited to any financial information which may reflect an inability to pay a penalty. Cargill has the right to be represented by legal counsel. All information submitted in response to this letter and/or during the show cause meeting must be accompanied by the following certification that is signed by a duly authorized official in accordance with 40 C.F.R. § 122.22: "I certify tinder penalty of law that this document and all attachments were prepared under my direction or supervision in accordance with a system designcd to assure that qualified personnel properly gather and evaluate the information submitted. Based on my inquiry of the person or persons who manage the system or those persons directly responsible for gathering the information, the information submitted is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, true, accurate, and complete. I am aware that there are. significant penalties for submitting false information, including the possibility of fine and imprisonment for knowing violations." Please be aware that the EPA may use information provided during the meeting or telephone conference in any enforcement proceeding related to this matter. Failure to schedule a show cause meeting may result in a unilateral enforcement action against Cargill. Notwithstanding the scheduling of a show cause meeting, the EPA retains the right to bring further enforcement action under Sections 309 of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. § 1319, for the violations cited therein or for any other violation of the CWA. In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission) requires its registrants to periodically disclose environmental legal proceedings in statements filed with the Commission. To assist Cargill, the EPA has enclosed a document entitled Notice of Securities and Exchange Commission Registrants 'Ditty to Disclose Environmental Legal Proceedings. Please contact Mr. Kenneth Kwan at (404) 562-9752 or LCDR Tara Houda at (404) 562-9762 to arrange a show cause meeting or if you have any questions or concerns. 0 Legal inquiries should be directed to Mr. Patrick B.

Process Description Cargill operates a soybean oil extraction and vegetable oil refining process at 1754 River Road, Fayetteville, NC 28312_ During the vegetable oil refining process, soap stock is produced as a byproduct of our refining process, Soap stock is normally stored in process tanks around the Refinery facility. Event Description At 1:00 PM, the Refinery Operator notifies Refinery Supervision that there is an issue with the Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) unit, It had become overloaded, and would not separate efficiently. The plan was to dump the DAF to the mop pit, and clean out the DAF, During this process, the soap stock that was located in the DAF, was dumped to the mop pit for re- processing, which is a normal cleaning task for this piece of equipment. Zp02/i 07 At 3:30 PM (August 2°d),a heavy rain event started, with periods of heavy rain falling for several minutes, According to Weather Underground, there was a 1.64" rain event duling this time period, which is not atypical of this area, The heavy rains around the plant caused our mop pit to overflow. At 4:41 PM, an employee discovered soap stock on Environmental Pit #i, and immediately walked over to Environmental Pit #2, where additional soap stock was discovered. The overflow gate to the Gum Log Creek was closed, and the stoma water pumps that were pumping to the mop pit were shut off to lower the level. The appropriate personnel were contacted to start the clean up around the mop pit, Environmental Pit #1, and Environmental Pit 92. 0�/09l2012 THU 16! 12 FAX UOWC07 At 4:47 PM, an employee discovered soap stock on the Gum Log Creels, off Cargill's property across the railroad main line rail tracks. The water current was very strong, but the soap stock was not moving down stream, and appeared to be collecting in three clumps around a log. At 5:02 PM, NRC was contacted of the situation. At 5:07 PM, our spill response contractor was notified of the situation, and they were deploying a vehicle to the Cargill site, At 5:07 PM, two Cargill employees walk downstream from Cargill's property approximately 100 yards, and find notrace of soap stock in the Gum Log Creels at that location, Two additional employees drive approximately one quarter mile downstream, and walk upstream approximately two hundred yards, and find no trace of soap stock in the Gum Log Creek at that location. To clarify, the soap stock did not travel any further downstream the Gum Log Creek than approximately 50 yards off --site of Cargill's property, and did not reach the Cape Fear River. At 5:48 PM, the spill response contractor arrives on site to start the cleanup. At 7:51 PM, 100% of the soap stock that was discovered on the Gwn Log Creek was recovered, and the spill recovery was completed. . Notifications National Response Center — 5:02 PM: Notification of event to NRC (Rpt # 1019814) was delayed beyond the 15 minute requirement, as location personnel were working to ensure the spill Was contained as much as possible. Corrective Actions Cargill is committed to make sire this type of incident does not happen again. A Root Cause Analysis was completed on the incident, and the following corrective actions will be completed by the following dates. I. By August 31, 2012, develop and implement a Rain Event Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). This procedure will detail what tasks to complete when a rain event occurs on this site. As a final stop gap measure, if necessary, Cargill will shut down the entire process, to ensure we do not negatively impact the environment. 2. By August 24, 2012, install automation to make both the mop pit Hi Level and Hi Hi Level alarms audible alarms, and make these alarms automatically resetting every five minutes, to prevent somebody from accidently silencing the alarm. 3, By September 28, 2012, install automation to interlock the mop pit Hi Hi Level alarm with the different plant areas, so the area pumps will direct rain water to the rain water storage basin. 14044i uu'l Summary The Cargill Fayetteville facility had an soap stock spill off site on August 2, 2012. The soap stock is a byproduct of our vegetable oil refining process. once discovered to be off -site, the source of the spill was safely stopped, and the spill contained. Cargill contracted with a spill response contractor, and 100°10 of the soap stock that left the site was recovered.

Kevin From: mike.lawver@ncdenr.aov [mailto:mike.lawyer@ncdenr.gov] Sent: Thursday, May 12, 2011 2:35 PM To: Huseby, Kevin T. - Kevin Huseby@cargill.com Cc: Schuelke, Scott - Scott Schuelke@cargill.com; Tarnowski, Susanna - Susanna Tarnowski(d)cargill.com Subject: RE: Cargill Fayetteville Sand Filtration System Thanks for the update. As a reminder of something we spoke about during my site visit, if land disturbance/construction for the project is greater than 1 acre you must obtain an approved erosion control plan through the Land Quality Section here in the regional office. Did you guys do that? Or, is the disturbance less than 1 acre? Please keep in mind that if the project is less than 1 acre, which does not trigger the need for an approved erosion control plan, you still may need to install erosion control measures to retain sediment onsite.

However, the other stream is actually called Gum Log Canal (not Gum Log Creek) and the stream classified as SC and HQW is Gum Log Branch in Brunswick County. So either Gum Log Canal or Locks Creek, whichever we decide (its not really all that clear.based on the topo), they're both Class C waters.

This facility is a soybean processing operation with a soybean oil refinery and is permitted to discharge stormwater to Gum Log Creek under National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) general permit number NCG060047. According to the latest permit issuance (November 2007), Gum Log Creek, located in the Cape Fear River Basin, is considered Class SC Waters with both swamp water (SW) and high quality water (HQW) designations. During the inspection it was discovered that 3 out of the 5 outfalls located on -site actually discharge to an unnamed tributary (UT) to Locks Creek, while the other 2 outfalls release into an UT to the Cape Fear River. Gum Log Creek runs parallel to Locks Creek, and while close in proximity, is not actually the receiving waterbody. According to the latest classifications posting on the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) website, both of these waterbodies are considered Class C waters without any special designations (Gum Log Creek is also likewise considered Class C). Cargill requests that our stormwater permit certificate of coverage be modified to reflect the correct waterbodies and their associated classifications. The purpose of this letter is to ensure that all efforts are made to remedy this situation to help protect North Carolina's surface waters from potential pollution.

Facility Superintendent 1754 River Rd. Fayetteville, NC 28312 Date: 02/10/09 Re: Response to Mineral Oil Sheen on February 10, 2009 Thank you for your quick response to the event that occurred at our site on February 10, 2009. On this day a small release of mineral oil was discovered and reported to your department. We appreciate the cordial response and sit down discussion to describe the incident and our corresponding response measures taken. Below is the additional information that you have requested. List of agencies to which spill was reported including contact information NRC Time: 10:00 am Contact: Unknown male Phone #: 1-800-424-8802 Report #: 897085 Narrative of the sequence of specific information A sheen was discovered on Gumlog Canal at 9:55 on February 10, 2009,by a pair of Cargill employees while performing a plant inspection. The employees notified operators and supervisors of the oil sheen. The sheen was tracked back to locate the source. It was discovered that the extraction plant cooling towers were overflowing non contact water due to a routine plant shutdown. The sheen was due to a small residual amount of food grade mineral oil in the cooling tower basin from a prior equipment leak that had been previously corrected. Containment system gates at the extraction environmental pits and refinery pits were closed to contain the sheen. At this point in time, the leak was stopped. The refinery supervisor was instructed to notify the NRC and other appropriate government agencies in accordance with the facility FRP procedures. The spill quantity at the time was estimated at 200 gallons. After further investigation, it was updated to 2 gallons. The facility contractor, Haz-Mat Response, was called to respond to the spill. The NRC was notified within the required 15 minutes. Oil absorbent pigs were placed in Gumlog Canal, in multiple locations, where the sheen was discovered. This contained the off site spill. As previously indicated, the -spill at the extraction Car`g'�ll Grain & Oilseed Supply Chain North America Fayetteville, NC cooling towers was investigated and found to have a residual amount of food grade mineral oil in the basin due to a past equipment leak. Two months earlier, an equipment leak had sent mineral oil to the cooling tower. The leak was detected and the piece of equipment repaired. The mineral oil in the cooling tower was reclaimed by pumping and skimming off the top of the water in the basin. On the day of the release, the cooling tower system was shutdown for the routine maintenance, which caused the basin to overflow. This overflow is not uncommon, but the residual amount of oil combined with water overflow was enough to pass through and create a sheen. The basin water level was pumped down to prevent the water from overflowing. The containment system gates were kept closed and oil absorbent materials were used to prevent further communication of the oil sheen. Water in the containment areas was skimmed and redirected to our wastewater system, which is capable of processing this oil. After this investigation, it was determined that the size of the spill was no greater than 2 gallons. The emergency spill contractor was cancelled after the oil was determined to be contained and in a small quantity. Cargill continued and completed all necessary clean up. All containment areas were cleaned to remove oil before being returned to service. The oil in Gumlog Canal was removed using oil absorbent materials and straw. An oil absorbent pig will be kept in place and checked periodically for the next couple of weeks as a precaution. Preventative and improvement measures 1.. Cooling towers will be skimmed to remove any remaining residual mineral oil. 2. Plant equipment will be rechecked to ensure that there is not an active leak. This is to ensure no mineral oil is currently leaking into the cooling tower water. 3. Operators will frequently monitor the containment system pits and take appropriate actions if necessary. This will include closing the containment gate if necessary. 4. Cooling tower basin will be emptied and refilled at the next feasible opportunity. 5. Cooling tower blow down will be redirected until Cargill is comfortable that no adverse effects will result from cooling tower blow down.

Sincerely, Michael Lawyer Environmental Specialist Attachments (2) cc: Hughic White, Environmental Specialist- DWQ-Fayettevilie Regional Office FRO -Surface Water Protection Section StomiNvater Files NPS-Assistance & Compliance Oversight Unit ADDENDUM The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program was established under the federal Clean Water Act and then delegated to the Division of Water Quality for implementation in North Carolina. The NPDES permitting program for stormwater discharges was established in 1990. Phase I focuses on site and operations planning to reduce pollutant sources. Through the NPDES permitting program industrial facilities that fall into one of the subject ten categories are required to obtain permit coverage under a general permit or an individual permit, depending upon the facilities SIC code and the industrial activity occurring at the facility. There are currently 19 active general stonnwater pen -nits in North Carolina. One condition that is applicable to both the general permits and individual stormwater permits is the requirement to develop and implement site -specific comprehensive stormwater pollution prevention plans (SPPP). These plans are required to include a comprehensive evaluation of the site and operations to reduce pollutant sources and prevent pollutant discharge. Copies of the general permits and accompanying documents can be accessed from the following webpage: http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/Forms_Documents.htm Permit text, technical bulletins, discharge monitoring fonns, and a Notice of Intent [which is the application of for coverage under a NPDES General Stonnwater Permit] can be found at this web site. The following items are a subset of pen -nit requirements and are listed to assist you and help bring your attention to certain penmitting issues, process and condition requirements of your permit. That said; please see the above -mentioned web site in order to obtain a copy of the permit such that you may fully comply with all the conditions therein. Failure to properly comply with conditions of the permit, like those bulleted below, constitutes violations and is subject civil penalty assessment of up to $25,000.00 per day. • Industrial facilities that fall into one of the subject ten categories are required to obtain permit coverage under a general NPDES stonnwater pen -nit or an individual NPDES stormwater pen -nit • All persons desiring to have facilities covered by a General Permit must register with the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) by the filing of a Notice of Intent (NOI) and Applicable Fees. • This Notice of Intent (NOI) must be submitted and a Certificate of Coverage issued prior to any discharge of stormwater associated with the industrial activity, process wastewater, and/or mine dewatering. • Once the Notice of Intent is received, DWQ will review and determine whether a Certificate of Coverage (COC) may be issued. if this Certificate of Coverage is issued the facility is covered by the General Permit. That is, the pennittee is authorized to discharge stormwater, process wastewater, and/or mine dewatering pursuant to the type of General Permit until the pen -nit expires or is modified or revoked. • Any other point source discharge to surface water of the state is prohibited unless it is an allowable non-stormwater discharge or is covered by another permit, authorization or approval. • There are currently 19 active general permits. Permit conditions vary accordingly; however, most of the permits have following condition requirements (you must read your entire permit to ensure full compliance): o Development and compliance with the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan o Collection, reporting, and recording of Analytical Monitoring o Collection, reporting and recording of Qualitative Monitoring o Collection, reporting and recording of Vehicle Maintenance Monitoring o Records — Visual monitoring shall be documented and records maintained at the facility along with the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. Copies of the analytical monitoring results shall also be maintained on -site. The Permittee shall retain records of all monitoring information, including all calibration and maintenance records and all original strip chart recordings for continuous monitoring instrumentation, and copies of all reports required by this general permit for a period of least 5 years for the date of the sample measurement, report or application. o Expiration — The permittee is not authorized to discharge after the expiration date of the general permit. In order to receive automatic authorization to discharge beyond the expiration date, the permittee shall submit forms and fees as are required by the agency authorized to issue permits no later than 180-days prior to expiration date. Any permittee that has not requested renewal at least 180 days prior to expiration, or any permittee that does not have a permit after the expiration and has not requested renewal at least 180 days prior to expiration, will be subject to enforcement_ Failure to renew your permit is a violation, o Transfer — The Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued pursuant to this general permit is not transferable to any person expect after notice to and approval by the Director. The Director may require modification or revocation and reissuance of the Certificate of Coverage to change the name and incorporate such other requirements as may be necessary under the Clean Water Act, The Permit is NOT transferable. o Name Change, Closure or Facility Ownership change — Pennittee is required to notify the Division in writing in the event the permitted facility is sold or closed. The Division of Water Quality views changes of name or ownership as a modification that requires the Director's approval and reissuance of the permit. Name and ownership changes required you to complete a Name/ownership Change Fonn from the Division and mail it back to the Division of Water Quality along with all appropriate information. o Proper Operation and Maintenance is a requirement of the permit. 0 Compliance Inspection Report Permit: NCG060047 Effective: 11/01/07 Expiration: 10/31/12 Owner: Cargill Incorporated SOC: Effective: Expiration: Facility: Cargill Incorporated -Fayetteville County: Cumberland 1754 River Rd Region: Fayetteville Fayetteville NC 28312 Contact Person: Scott Schuelke Title: Phone: 910-433-4954 Directions to Facility: System Classifications: Primary ORC: Certification: Phone: Secondary ORC(s): On -Site Representative(s): On -site representative Scott Schuelke Phone: 910-433-4954 On -site representative Joshua Small Phone: 910-433-4922 Related Permits: Inspection Date: 0112212008 Entry Time: 09:3 AM Exit Time: 01:35 PM Primary Inspector: Mike Lawyer Phone: 910-433-3300 Ext121 s }72T f" .4 Belinda S Henson Phone: 910-433-3300 Ext,721�' Reason for Inspection: Routine Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation 33z6 Permit Inspection Type: FoodfTobacco/SoapslCosmetics/Public Warehousing Stormwater Discharge COC Facility Status. ■ Compliant Q Not Compliant Question Areas: E Storm Water (See attachment summary) Page: 1 Permit: NCGO60047 Owner - Facility: Cargill Incorporated Inspection Date: 01122/2008 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Reutine Inspection Summary: Met with Mr. Scott Schuelke, EHS Coordinator, and Mr. Joshua Small, Facility Superintendent. A review of the facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) was conducted. The SPPP was developed in 2002 and is quite detailed, however it is missing the required component of a documented feasibility study and has not been reviewed and updated on an annual basis as required by the permit. Facility is required to conduct both visual and analytical monitoring and records of such were available and presented during the inspection. As a result of the inspection, it has been determined that the outfall locations and subsequently the sampling points that have been identified should be re-evaluated based on the permit requirement that "Ali samples shall be taken before the discharge joins or is diluted by any other waste stream, body of water, or substance." This is based on the fact that the facility's receiving stream (Gum Log Canal) actually travels via a pipe underneath the rear portion of the facility and previous sampling events for both the facility's stormwater permit and general wastewater permit have been conducted at an open access pit to the stream itself where stormwater, cooling tower water and boiler blowdown water commingle. A subsequent visit was made on February 4, 2008 by Mike Lawyer and Hughie White of the Fayetteville Regional Office to discuss and make recommendations concerning future sampling events with Mr. Schuelke in order to comply with the aforementioned permit requirement.

Subject: Visit to Cargill - Summary From: <Scott_Schuelke c@r cargill.com> Date: Mon, 4 Feb 2008 16:51:57 -0600 To: "Mike Lawyer" <Mike.Lawyer@ncmail.net>, <hughie.white@ncmail.net> Mike/Hughie, Thanks again for coming out today. I summarized what we discussed today and just want to make sure I didn't omit anything and that I'm on the right track. Obviously, I like to double check, and ... double check. This is not meant to be any response of any type, just further communication from our meeting today. Mike you'll notice on the attached document, that there are some items bolded, italicized and underlined. These are different than what we discussed. Notably, I was thinking about the representative outfall status from the Environmental Pits near River Rd. We discussed sampling all three, but one actually discharges into the other, so wouldn't it suffice to just ample from the two larger ones near the road and contemplate the representative status from there? Also, the pit closest to the train tracks DOES have it's own pipe that goes across River Rd. It also goes under our entrance there to the ditch that "connect" the two pits. Additionally, if you remember when you were here for your inspection and we looked down into the blocked wall casement of the large retention basin? There was a pipe that was discharging to Gum Log at that point and we found that it was coming from over by our coal tunnel, where there was a small pit. Well, I completely forgot to show that to you this morning, but am quite sure it would qualify as an outfall. It receives stormwater from the surrounding area. Only question there is, we pump rainwater from the coal tunnel. Since it is still rainwater, I would think that it shouldn't have any effect on the'outfall determination. Your thoughts? Review the attachment, and let me know if you guys see anything that jumps out at you. Appreciate it, Scott Content -Description: STRM-NCWW SAMPLING 02-04-08.pdf STRM-NCWW SAMPLING 02-04-08.pdf Content -Type: application/octet-stream I Content -Encoding: base64 i of 1 2/5/2008 9:30 AM . I , 47 February 4, 2008 Mike Lawyer, NCDNE..R-DWQ, Stormwater section and Hughic White, NCDENTR- DWQ, Non -Contact (NI'DES) section visited the facility today in response to my request. The purpose of the visit was to evaluate the current outfalls, discharges to those outfalls and proper monitoring associated with each. ]`TOTE: Gum Log Canal runs under our property through a corrugated steel pipe. Stormwater and Nan -Contact Cooling water both enter the Canal at various locations within the plant boundaries. The main objectives of our meeting were to ensure that monitoring points were so that the particular 'water' being sampled was not mixed with any other and that our monitoring locations were adequate for the facility dischargers. Currently, the way discharge and sampling is understood, the following apply: FV101, is the upstream monitoring point (influent) for Non -Contact Cooling Water. This sample point is located across Underwood Road at Gum Log Canal. FV001, is the discharge from the: facility into Gum Log Canal on the opposite side of the facility, It is located across the railroad tracks, near the Refinery. FV002, is the discharge from the facility on the River Road side of the plant. Mike Lawyer conducted a Stromwater inspection on January 22"', and there were some notable things that had changed over the years however, discharge -sampling points remained the same. This is why I asked Mike and Hughie to come to the facility. I wanted to make sure that any changes identified, were in line with permit requiremctits. Items discussed and changes to be made on behalf of the facility are as follows: STORMWATFR For FV002 — There are actually 3 Environmental 'Pits' on this side of the facility (River Road). # 3 is between the Steel Bean `Ranks and is the first point to screen out solids (beans mainly). Environmental pit # 3 overflows across a gravel truck parking area via a cement trough to Environmental pit # 4. Environmental Pit # 4 discharges to a ditch on the Cargill side of River Road which runs to an underground pipe that noes under River Road to the other side where there is another ditch. This pipe discharges to the ditch across the road under water. Another Environmental pit # 5, also on the Cargill side of Diver Road discharges to the same ditch as Environmental pit # 4, however, has it's own underground pipe that goes under River Road to the other side where there it too, discharges to the ditch on the other side of River Road. See Figure 1. Cargill will sample the discharze from # 4 and # 5 Environmental Pits, just as the dischar e leaves the pits. The reason for itot sash ling# 3 is because the dis bar ^e from it goes directly to Environmental Pit # 4 before �oirrt} offtlrc facility,trrounds. If the lab results differ only slightly, Cargill will request that the discharge from # 4 Environmental Pit only be sampled in the future as a representative sample of both discharges. If approved, Cargill will label this monitoring point as SWO1. New Outfall A concrete pipe had been installed at some point just under the paved drive beside the maintenance shop. It appears that the reason for this was due to the buildup of stormwater in front of the shop. A drain was included in the installation at the inlet side of the pipe. The outlet, discharges to the ditch that runs along Underwood Rd., outside of the Cargill fence. Cargill will label this monitoring point as SW02. FVOO1 — Stormwater discharge to the current FVOOI cannot be sampled at that location without being mixed with the Non -Contact wastewaters. Therefore, Stormwater monitoring will be conducted at the first catchment basin just inside the gate at the Boiler entrance. Cargill will label this as SW03. New Outfall — There is a small Environmental pit near the coal tunnel. This Environmental pit receives free fall storiwater and stormwater that is pumped front the coal tunnel. This pit dischaEges into the Retention Basin blocked wall to Guilt L �' � ill will label this as .. SW04� Canal. Car _ ,,.. _ . NON -CONTACT WASTEWATER Current monitoring points were, I01 for upstream at Gun-► Log Canal before it enters facility, at the outfall to Gumlog Canal, across railroad tracks, for effluent and the final monitoring point would be upstream in Gum Log Canal. Walking through the discharges, it was noted that the Extraction Cooling Tower Blowdown was mixing with Stormwater or any other water that may be running through the same path, i.e., wash -down water. Cargill will install a composite pipe to capture discharge from the three pipes coming from the cooling tower prior to it mixing with any other discharges. Cargill will label this monitoring point as NCWW02. For Boiler Blow -Down and Similar Wastewaters from the Boiler area, the discharges go to the ground from multiple pipes, follow a cement trough to a catchment area and flow through a a" pipe to another catchment that discharges directly to Gum Log Canal. These catchments are open to stormwater flows, therefore any samples will be subject to mixing with stormwater. Cargill will install a composite pipe to capture discharge from the various pipes coming from the Boiler Blow-Dow-n and Similar Wastewaters prior to it mixing with any outer discharges. Cargill will label this monitoring point as NCWW03. Cargill will sample from Gum Log Canal prior to it entering the facility for influent monitoring. Cargill will label this monitoring point as NCWWOI Cargill will sample from Gum Log Canal as it leaves the facility. Cargill will label this monitoring point as NCWW04.
