See Section 1 below New expiration date 4/30/2028 Comments on Draft Permit? See Section 6 below Section 1. Facility Activities and Process: Trinity Manufacturing Co., Inc. is a chlor-alkali facility engaged in the production of agricultural, specialty, and commodity chemicals. The chemicals produced are Sodium Hydroxide, 50% (Caustic Soda); Sodium Hypochlorite, 15% (Bleach); Hydrochloric Acid, 32%; Chloropicrin; and Aqueous Sodium Chloride (Saltwater). Chloropicrin is a soil fumigant and herbicide, nematocide, and fungicide. Stormwater is directed into a single outfall via vegetated ditches and a detention pond. Previously the facility produced sodium sulphanoiate but has since ceased production. The 2016 permit renewal application also stated the facility had started implementation of a batch process to produce chlorinated paraffins (batch process where dry chlorine gas is reacted with raw paraffin or olefin wax in a reactor), however, this process was discontinued in December 2020. Additional changes since the last permit include construction of a maintenance/receiving/warehouse building and expansion of the employee parking lot. Outfall SW001: Drainage area includes gravel roadways, office area, a detention pond, railcar loading and unloading, used equipment storage, empty drum and tote storage, parking lots, outdoor maintenance and laydown and storage area, construction parking and laydown area, and shipping/receiving maintenance shop Area 1: Storage of drums containing surfactant liquids and non-hazardous waste, storage of empty totes and drums Area 2: No longer exists Area 3: Storage of empty nitromethane (raw material for chloropicrin process)metal drums Area 4: Chloropicrin and Chlorine railcar loading/unloading stations Area 5: Used equipment storage area Area 6: Caustic and HCl railcar loading stations Area 7: Brine filter waste collection dumpster and salt unloading Page 1 of 6 Why Industrial Sites with Stormwater are Subject to a Permit: Federal NPDES regulations define stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity in 40 CFR §122.26 (b)(14) as: "the discharge from any conveyance that is used for collecting and conveying storm water and that is directly related to manufacturing,processing or raw materials storage areas at an industrial plant. The term does not include discharges from facilities or activities excluded from the NPDES program under this part 122. For the categories of industries identified in this section, the term includes, but is not limited to, storm water [sic] discharges from industrial plant yards; immediate access roads and rail lines used or traveled by carriers of raw materials, manufactured products, waste material, or byproducts used or created by the facility; material handling sites; refuse sites; sites used for the application or disposal of process waste waters (as defined at part 401 of this chapter); sites used for the storage and maintenance of material handling equipment; sites used for residual treatment, storage, or disposal; shipping and receiving areas; manufacturing buildings; storage areas (including tank farms) for raw materials, and intermediate and final products; and areas where industrial activity has taken place in the past and significant materials remain and are exposed to storm water. For the purposes of this paragraph, material handling activities include storage, loading and unloading, transportation, or conveyance of any raw material, intermediate product, final product, byproduct or waste product. The term excludes areas located on plant lands separate from the plant's industrial activities, such as office buildings and accompanying parking lots as long as the drainage from the excluded areas is not mixed with storm water [sic] drained from the above described areas." Section 2. Monitoring Information and Compliance History: • May 2012 to August 2022, no benchmarks were exceeded Threatened/Endangered Species: At the discharge location there are no threatened or endangered species. In the nearby vicinity there are species of concern including the Coppery Emerald (Somatochlora georgiana;NC status: SR), Eastern Tiger Salamander(Ambystoma tigrinum; NC status: T), Georgia Indigo-bush(Amorpha georgiana; NC status: E), Sunnybell (Schoenolirion croceum;NC status: SR-H), Helicta Satyr(Neonympha helicta; NC status: SR), Texas Hatpins (Eriocaulon texense; NC status: E), Bog Oatgrass (Danthonia epilis; NC status: SR-T), Chapman's Yellow-eyed-grass (Xyris chapmanii;NC status: SR-D), and Sandhills Lily (Lilium pyrophilum; NC status: E). Section 3. Proposed Monitoring for Stormwater Discharges: The Division considered potential pollutants from past and present industrial activities and data was submitted for May 2012 to August 2022. Quantitative sampling included pH, BOD, COD, chloropicrin, chloride. Parameters are based on potential pollutants in the drainage area, sampling results, and in some cases, dependent upon future activities (e.g., ash removal through the drainage area). Below is a table of the proposed monitoring for each outfall at the Trinity Manufacturing Co. Inc. site. Page 2 of 6 Outfalls SWO01 Quarterly monitoring Total Suspended Solids BASIS: Potential pollutant from drainage area and BMP effectiveness (TSS) indicator. Quarterly monitoring pH BASIS: Pollutant indicator Quarterly monitoring Total Rainfall BASIS: Discharge potential indicator Quarterly monitoring Non-Polar Oil &Grease BASIS: Potential pollutant from lubricants; Method 1664 SGT-HEM targets petroleum-based O&G Quarterly monitoring Monthly Oil Usage BASIS: Potential pollutant from drainage area Quarterly monitoring BOD BASIS: Discharge potential indicator Quarterly monitoring COD BASIS: Discharge potential indicator Quarterly monitoring Chloropicrin BASIS: Potential pollutant from drainage area Quarterly monitoring Chloride BASIS: Potential pollutant from drainage area Stormwater Benchmarks and Tiered Response: Rather than limits,North Carolina NPDES Stormwater permits contain benchmark concentrations. Stormwater benchmarks are numerical action levels for stormwater monitoring. Benchmarks are not effluent limits, and benchmark exceedances are not permit violations. Benchmarks provide facilities a tool for assessing the significance of pollutants in stormwater discharges and the effectiveness of best management practices (BMPs). Benchmark concentrations are intended as guidelines for the facility's development and implementation of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan(SWPPP). Benchmark exceedances require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater BMPs in a tiered program. The permit establishes a tiered approach to specify actions the permittee must take in response to analytical results above benchmark concentrations. The tiered structure of the permit provides the permittee and DEMLR wide flexibility to address issues that may arise with one or more parameters and/or outfalls. Metals benchmarks are calculated to mimic acute water quality standards and with the guidance of DWR. NC DWR follows established federal procedures for calculating acute standards when developing the benchmarks. Just like the acute standards, metals benchmarks normally reflect one half of the calculated Final Acute Value (the "1/2 FAV"). In most cases, translation into total recoverable values is Page 3 of 6 based on an assumed hardness of 25 mg/L and a total suspended solids (TSS) concentration of 10 mg/L. Acute standards protect aquatic life from negative impacts of short-term exposure to higher levels of chemicals where the discharge enters a waterbody. The Stormwater Permitting Program applies this approach because of the ephemeral nature of rainfall events. The Division may evaluate results to determine if a smaller suite of parameters for some outfalls is adequate to characterize potential pollution or BMP effectiveness. For example, one or more metals or other parameters may serve as an adequate tracer for the presence of ash pollution during disturbance or ash removal in specific drainage areas at this site. For parameters that do not have a stormwater benchmark, the Division may develop a benchmark value if appropriate toxicity data become available or if rising trends in concentrations suggest a persistent source. A summary of the benchmarks in the draft permit, and their basis, is below: Parameter Benchmark Basis Total Suspended 100 mg/L National Urban Runoff Program(NURP) Study, 1983 Solids TSS H 6 s.u. —9 s.u. NC Water Quality Standard(Range) Non-Polar Oil & Review of other state's daily maximum benchmark Grease 15 mg/L concentration for this more targeted O&G;NC WQS that EPA Method 1664 does not allow oil sheen in waters (SGT-HEM BOD 30 mg/L BPJ; Based on Secondary Treatment Regulation(40 CFR 133.03 COD 120 mg/L BPJ; Generally found at levels 4x BOD5 in domestic wastewaters Chloride 860 mg/L EPA's National Recommended Water Quality Criteria, 2006 Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan: The proposed permit conditions reflect the EPA and NC's pollution prevention approach to stormwater permitting. The Division's maintains that implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) and traditional stormwater management practices that control the source of pollutants meets the definition of Best Available Technology (BAT) and Best Conventional Pollutant Control Technology(BCT). The permit conditions are not numeric effluent limitations but are designed to be flexible requirements for implementing site-specific plans to minimize and control pollutants in stormwater discharges associated with the industrial activity. Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) §122.44(k)(2) authorizes the use of BMPs in lieu of numeric effluent limitations in NPDES permits when the agency finds numeric effluent limitations to be infeasible. The agency may also impose BMP requirements which are "reasonably necessary" to carry out the purposes of the Act under the authority of 40 CFR 122.44(k)(3). The conditions proposed in this draft permit are included under the authority of both of these regulatory provisions. In essence, the pollution prevention and BMP requirements operate as limitations on effluent discharges that reflect the application of BAT/BCT. Flexibility in Tier Responses: Tier Two actions provide an opportunity for the permittee to propose an alternative monitoring plan for approval by the Region: • Alternatively, in lieu of steps 2 and 3, the permittee may, after two consecutive exceedances, exercise the option of contacting the DEMLR Regional Engineer as provided below in Tier Three. The Regional Engineer may direct the response actions on the part of the permittee as provided in Tier Three, including reduced or additional sampling parameters or frequency. Page 4 of 6 • If pursuing the alternative above after two consecutive exceedances, the permittee may propose an alternative monitoring plan for approval by the Regional Engineer. The permit therefore allows the permittee to petition the Regional Office for monitoring changes sooner than Tier Three (upon any four benchmark exceedances) and gives guidance on one option to take. For example, the permittee may request that mercury only be monitored semi-annually under the tiers, or that only parameters over the benchmark be monitored more frequently. In this way, changes to the monitoring scheme for any outfall could be handled outside of a permit modification. Other Proposed Requirements: • It is standard for Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan(SWPPP)requirements to include an annual certification that stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non- stormwater discharges, and if any are identified, how those discharges are permitted or otherwise authorized. • Requirement to submit a request for permit modification if the facility identifies or creates any new outfalls, removes outfalls, or alters any drainage area that changes potential pollutants. • The Division expects the permittee to apply best professional judgment and consider the safety of its personnel in fulfilling sampling obligations under the permit. • Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs). If a state does not establish a system to receive such submittals, then permittees must submit DMRs electronically to the EPA. • Quarterly QualitativeNisual Monitoring to assure regular observation of outfalls throughout year. Section 4. Changes from previous permit to draft: • Monitoring increased from semi-annually to quarterly for all parameters (qualitative and quantitative) • "No discharge" clarifications made • eDMR requirement added • Boilerplate language moved into body of the permit; boilerplate no longer attached • TSS monitoring required per standard stormwater permitting requirements • Benchmarks updated for parameters per guidance from DWR Standards group on stormwater benchmarks Section 5. Changes from draft to final: • Feasibility study removed in Part B Section 6. Discussions with the Facility and Regional Office: • Initial contact with facility: 9/29/2022 • Initial contact with Regional Office: 9/29/2020 • Draft sent to CO peer review: N/A • Draft sent to Regional Office: 1/18/2023 Page 5 of 6 • Final permit sent for supervisor signature: 3/15/2023 Section 7. Comments received on draft permit: • Mike Lawyer (FRO; via email 1/18/2023): Not sure if it's considered a significant change from the current permit and would need to be included in the list on the cover letter,but the current/expired permit only required TSS under the onsite vehicle maintenance monitoring, which they don't conduct. The new/draft permit requires TSS monitoring regardless of any oil usage, which is a change from the previous permit. o DEMLR response: We will clarify this point in the final permit cover letter that TSS is now a required monitoring parameter. • Heidi Cox (PWS; via email 2/7/2023): We concur with the issuance of this permit provided the facility is operated and maintained properly, the stated limits are met prior to discharge, and the discharge does not contravene the designated water quality standards. The facility appears to be located in the upstream area for the surface water source for the City of Rockingham Water System NC0377015(1-5 miles away). • Andy Borgstrom (permittee; via email 2/17/2023): Request Baseline Sampling Frequency remain in line with previous permit on a semi-annual schedule (rather than quarterly)based on good compliance history and the strain frequent testing places on resources. An additional challenge is that the maximum hold time for the BOD parameter is 48 hours, which can make it difficult to collect and transport samples to a lab on certain days of the week, particularly on a weekend or holiday. o DEMLR response: All individual industrial stormwater permits are being moved to quarterly monitoring.

V. Hogan Drive y P.O. Box 1 TRINITY +� Hamlet, NC 28345 MANUFACTURING , INC . 910-582-5650 February 17, 2023 Re: Draft Stormwater Discharge Permit No.NCS000233 Dear Ms. Young, Thank you for sending us this Draft Permit and for giving us the opportunity to comment. We have reviewed the changes from our previous permit and have noted the new requirements that have been incorporated, including increased frequency of qualitative and quantitative monitoring. The only matter on which we would like to comment is the quantitative sampling frequency for our Baseline Sampling Benchmarks in Part D. I am writing to request that our Baseline Sampling Frequency remain in line with our previous permit on a semi- annual schedule(rather than quarterly). This request is based on our good compliance history as well as the strain that frequent testing places on our resources. Trinity has consistently demonstrated a commitment to environmental compliance, and we take great care to ensure that our stormwater management practices are up to par. For the past 10+years,we have sampled the stormwater outfall at our site on a semi-annual frequency. Across more than 20 samples,we have had zero violations of any of our Baseline Sampling Benchmarks(see attached summary spreadsheet). We feel that increasing the required sampling frequency would present an unnecessary burden on our facility resources,both in terms of time and money. The process requires a dedicated resource to monitor the weather for "measurable storm events",collect a sample at our outfall within 30 minutes of discharge, and ensure that the samples reach a qualified laboratory in time to analyze the samples. As you know, a storm event may not meet permit requirements if another sample has been collected within 30 days or if another storm event has occurred within 72 hours. An additional challenge is that the maximum hold time for the BOD parameter is 48 hours,which can make it difficult to collect and transport samples to a lab on certain days of the week,particularly on a weekend or holiday. These constraints already present a challenge in collecting samples on a semi-annual basis; it would be especially burdensome if our requirement were to change to quarterly. Given our excellent compliance history and our agreement to perform qualitative inspections on a quarterly basis, we are confident that continuing to test stormwater samples for Benchmark parameters on a semi-annual schedule would not compromise the quality of our stormwater management practices or the health of the environment. Moreover,the Tiered Enforcement approach outlined in the permit(in Sections D-5 through D-7)would force us to evaluate and address the source of any future Benchmark parameter exceedance.

Stormwater Discharge Permit NCS 000233 Best Management Practices (BMPs) Best Management Practices for the site include a combination of operational and source control BMPs. These BMPs have been implemented to minimize precipitation contact with potentially contaminating activity, contain and treat precipitation contacting industrial activity, and preemptively provide systems and equipment to deal with unanticipated occurrences. General BMPs implemented throughout the facility to achieve stormwater pollution prevention goals include: • Vegetative areas are created and maintained to prevent erosion and sedimentation. • Loading and unloading operations are either covered and/or done in areas designed to catch stormwater which may contact these operations as well as any minor drips associated with connecting or disconnecting. • Storage of all bulk liquid materials at Trinity is provided with secondary containment. Stormwater collected in these secondary containment areas is treated and discharged through the sanitary sewer in accordance with its POTW IUP permit. • Impervious surface are sloped to catch basins and routed to a stormwater detention pond for the majority of industrial activity. Use of the stormwater detention pond is incorporated in the Spill Response Plan • Concrete pad areas are sloped and laid out to minimize or prevent stormwater run-off into areas containing significant materials associated with industrial activity. • Significant material areas are included as part of facility inspections to identify improvement opportunities. Best Management Practices (BMPs) address potential pollutant areas that have been identified during facility inspections. The BMPs are designed to help reduce the potential for stormwater pollution. BMP categories considered include: Flow Diversion, Exposure Minimization, Mitigate Practices, Sediment and Erosion Prevention, Infiltration Practices, and Other Preventive Practices such as Good Housekeeping, Preventive Maintenance, Visual Inspections, Spill and Stormwater Plan Training, and Documentation. Area 1- Storage of drums containing surfactant liquids and non-hazardous waste as well as storage of empty totes and drums. • Materials are stored in this area only on a temporary basis. While stored in this area, containers are readily visible and any leakage or run-off can be dealt with quickly. • Drums of liquid surfactant are used on a seasonal basis. These inventories are minimized and managed to eliminate carry-over of inventory between seasons. • Drumming of dry materials in the area is scheduled around weather forecasts and covered during periods of unanticipated precipitation. Following completion, the area is swept to prevent contamination. Area 3- Storage of empty nitromethane metal drums. • Drums are pumped until empty and the bung caps are re-secured before being temporarily stored while awaiting pickup. • Empty drums are picked up for recycling on a frequent and regular basis. Area 4- Railcar loading/unloading stations (Chloropicrin & Chlorine). • Spill containment (railcar pans) is included at each railcar loading station. The pans are piped to a treatment tank,treated if necessary, and discharged to the sanitary sewer. • Area lighting and video cameras facilitate enhanced surveillance of loading operations above and beyond operator attendance. • Loading operations are instrumented and automated to minimize opportunities for overfilling. Area 5- Storage area for used equipment. • Used equipment stored in the area is decontaminated prior to its storage. • Storage containers allow small, primarily metal, parts to be housed out of the weather, minimizing opportunity for the formation of rust. Area 6- Railcar loading stations (Caustic and HCI). • Spill containment (railcar pans) is included at each railcar loading station. The pans are piped to a treatment area,treated if necessary, and discharged to the sanitary sewer. • Area lighting and video cameras facilitate enhanced surveillance of loading operations above and beyond operator attendance. • Loading operations are instrumented and automated to minimize opportunities for overfilling. Area 7- Brine filter waste collection dumpster and salt unloading. • Dumpster is set in a curbed area to allow collection of any leakage. • Dumpster is kept covered to prevent stormwater contact. • Salt conveying system is inspected and cleaned as part of the preventative maintenance program.

Trinity Manufacturing Inc. Stormwater Discharge Permit NCS 000233 Significant Industrial Activity Changes Changes in industrial activity at the site since the previous stormwater permit application include implementing a process to produce chlorinated paraffins at the Trinity Manufacturing facility. This is a batch process where dry chlorine gas is reacted with raw paraffin or olefin wax in a reactor. This process is in contained areas. The original BMP philosophies for the facility have been extended to encompass this process. Also, a maintenance/receiving/warehouse building has been constructed and the parking lot has been expanded at the facility as well. Trinity Manufacturing Inc.
