Facility: Sanderson Farms Inc - Processing Division Inspection Date: 03114M19 Inspection Type : Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine Inspection Summary: Inspection conducted to evaluate the facility's compliance with their coverage under NPOES Stormwater General Permit NCG060000. Met with Randy Clark, Environmental Supervisor, and Stephanie Shoemaker, Manager of Environmental. The facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) was provided for review. The SPPP appeared to contain all permit -required components along with associated documentation related to employee training, facility inspections, housekeeping, etc. Per facility personnel, there have been no significant spills at the facility from initial permit coverage to the date of inspection. Continued documentation regarding the annual review and update requirements per Part Il, Section A, item 8 of the current permit was discussed. Monitoring records indicate that analytical and qualitative monitoring for the facility's two stormwater discharge outfalls has been conducted, recorded and submitted per the requirements of the permit, Analytical monitoring data indicates a few exceedances of the benchmark values for TSS and fecal coliform, but not consecutively. After the records review, observations were made of the following areas; vehicle maintenance shop/area where storm drains are reportedly directed to the facility's wastewater collection system, locations of bulk storage of liquid materials and associated secondary containment, stormwater collection/management system and stormwater discharge outfalls. It should be noted that additional permanent stabilization is needed along the slopes of the facility's stormwater and wastewater ponds. Overall, the facility appeared to be well operated/maintained and in compliance with the conditions of the NCG060000 stormwater permit. Page 2 of 3 permit.

This permit is reissued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between the state of North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, dated October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended.) You must access and print a copy of your new Certificate of Coverage (COC) via this website: https:/ledocs.deg.ne.gov[Forms/SW-COC-Renewal Also, you must obtain a copy of the new NCG060000 General Permit from our website here: https://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/ener* -mineral-land-resources/n des-stormwater- = s. In addition to the full permit, the 2018 print package on the website includes revised monitoring forms. The General Permit authorizes discharges of stormwater, and it specifies your obligations with respect to discharge controls, management, monitoring, and record keeping. Please review the new permit to familiarize yourself with all changes in the reissued permit. Significant changes to the General Permit are outlined in documents available on the website above. Your facility has six months from receipt of the permit to update your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) to reflect any new permit requirements.

North Carolina 27699-1612 919.707.9200 How does the new General Permit affect Tier Status? The first sampling period in this General Permit begins on January 1, 2019. Tier 3 actions in Part IV of your permit are triggered by benchmark exceedances on four occasions beginning on the effective date of this permit and do not count prior exceedances. Likewise, Tier 2 actions are triggered by two consecutive benchmark exceedances beginning on the effective date of this permit and do not count prior exceedances. However, if your facility is already in Tier 2 (monitoring stormwater discharges monthly) or Tier 3, you must continue monthly monitoring until relieved through conditions of the permit or by DEMLR staff approval. When does electronic DMR reporting ,start We are working toward on -boarding permittees with NPDES stormwater permits into the DEQ's eDMR system next year. Permittees will receive notification when our eDMR system is ready for registration to begin reporting monitoring data electronically. If you have any questions about the status, please contact Bethany Georgoulias at (919) 707-3641. Your coverage under the General Permit is transferable only through the specific action of DEMLR. This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the N.C. Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), nor does it relieve the permittee from responsibility for compliance with any other applicable federal, state, or local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or decree. If you have any questions regarding this permit package please contact the DEMLR Stormwater Program at (919) 707-92M Sincerely, for William E.

REGAN secretary Subject: NPDES General Permit Renewal and Electronic Reporting Requirements Sanderson Farms - St. Pauls Facility NPDES Permit Certificate of Coverage (COC) Number: NCG060369 Dear NPDES Permittee: TRACY DAVIS Director The General Permit this facility is covered under expires on October 31, 2017. Our records indicate that your annual fees are up to date; therefore, your coverage will be automatically renewed unless you submit a rescission request for this permit. If you no longer need this permit, a rescission form can be found on our website (http:/ Igo. l BcgDP4). The Stormwater Program plans to reissue this General Permit for one year with no changes. This action has been posted for public comment on our website above (see the table of General Permits) and published in area newspapers statewide. The public comment period for the reissuance action concludes on November 1, 2017, and the new General Permit is scheduled to become effective on November 16, 2017. Upon issuance of the final General Permit, your coverage will be renewed for the one year period. Instead of being mailed new Certificates of Coverage (COCs), each permittee should print off the new General Permit Cover Page from our Stormwater Program website (with revised effective and expiration dates) after issuance in mid -November. Although the renewal process is automatic this year, two items require your action: (1) You must review your permit contact information and notify us of any changes no later than November 15, 2017. (2) You must submit outfall information on-line for this site in preparation for electronic data monitoring report (eDMR) requirements no later than November 30, 2017.

North Carolina 27699.1612 To update contact information for your permit: You may simply e-mail us changes to contact information, unless there is a change -to the Owner Affiliation.

Submitting outfall Information for E-Reporting The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Electronic Reporting Rule in December 2015. The rule requires NPDES regulated facilities to report certain information electronically, instead of filing written paper reports. EPA is phasing in the requirements of the rule over a 5-year period. The first phase required regulated entities to submit Data Monitoring Reports (DMRs) electronically starting on December 21, 2016, We realize that deadline has passed, and EPA is aware that NC is working on expanding the State's eDMR System (currently available to NPDES Wastewater Permit -holders) to include Stormwater Program DMR reporting. As soon as eDMR is available for your permit, we will notify you. In the meantime, we must collect information about the discharge outfalls at your facility to prepare the system to flow data to EPA as the new federal rule mandates. To submit outfall information to DEQ: Go to the following website and enter the discharge outfall number, type of discharge, receiving water information, representative outfall status information, and other details no later than November 30, 2017. The website will walk you through all steps, The website is: https: deg.nc,gov/about stormwater-program]5tormwater-outfall-collection For more information on EPA's NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule, visit http://www2.epa.goy/compliance/final-national-pollutant-discharge-elimination-system-npdes- electronic-reporting-rule.

Since their application notes that operation is to begin 1/7/17, 1 called Ms. Shoemaker the other day to see if she or facility personnel would want/need to meet to go over NCG06 permit conditions. She mentioned that they had a facility in Kinston and she was well aware of the requirements, but would check with other staff and get back to me. She sent me an e-mail today that a meeting was not necessary at this time (copy of her e-mail is attached). I recommend we go ahead and issue permit coverage with the understanding that the conditions of the NCG06 would not apply until the ✓ facility becomes operational early next year.
