RE: NPDES Stormwater Permit Application for Craven County Wood Energy,L.P.
201 Executive Parkway,New Bern,NC,28562
Dear Ms. Brianna Young:
Craven County Wood Energy L.P. (CCWE) submits the following NPDES stormwater permit package
for stormwater activities previously covered by NPDES discharge permit number NC0075281 which
expires April 30, 2024. This permit application is being submitted at least 180 days prior to that permit
expiration date.
Please note that NC0075281 included obligations for outfalls 001, 002, and 003. Site operations have
changed since the issuance of that permit and the site has not discharged out outfall 001 to Bachelor
Creek since 2016 and has not discharged out outfall 002 since 2019. The site has no plans to discharge at
outfalls 001 or 002 and is looking to permit stormwater discharge for outfall 003.
In February 2016, CCWE installed a wastewater reverse osmosis (RO) system on the cooling tower
blowdown. Industrial User Permit(IUP)#1200 was issued by the City of New Bern,NC. CCWE
discharges the concentrated water from the wastewater RO to the City W WTP, eliminating the need to
discharge to outfall 001 into Bachelors Creek. All previous water discharged to outfall 001 now goes to
the City of New Bern's WWTP.
Stormwater from the fuel yard,fuel storage pile, and service water building flow to the retention pond in
the northeast corner of the site and was originally permitted to discharge from the site through Outfall
002. However, because poultry litter is also stored within the footprint of the fuel storage area, and the
associated stormwater runoff was reported to potentially contain elevated constituent concentrations,
discharge of stormwater from the retention pond through Outfall 002 was suspended in April 2019.

CCWE completed a project in 2019 to utilize the water from the settlement pond in the plant's cooling
towers while maintaining compliance with the IUP as part of a wastewater conservation plan.
NPDES discharge permit number NCO075281 included effluent limits and obligations for outfalls 001
and 002. Those two outfalls have been,isolated and locked out. Water has not been discharged out these
outfalls in many years and there are currently no plans to resume use. If CCWE determines that 001 and
002 will be used in the future, those outfalls will be properly permitted for discharge.
CCWE has continually met the qualitative obligations for outfall 003 as described in NPDES discharge
permit number NCO075281 as outfall 003 has no effluent limits or quantitative obligations under the
permit. Please note that CCWE has not completed the analytical sampling that is required in EPA Form
2F. That sampling and analysis will be completed in the near future. Amended documentation will be
submitted to NC DEQ DEMLR when the stormwater sampling and analysis have been completed.
CCWE loons to solidify those same obligations for outfall 003 in this new NPDES stormwater permit.
Upon receipt of the new NPDES stormwater permit, CCWE's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
will be updated to reflect the changes in permitting and obligations and CCWE will submit to rescind
NPDES Permit Number NCO075281.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,

Source Evaluation of Significant Materials

2.0 SOURCE IDENTIFICATION
2.1 POTENTIAL SOURCE EVALUATION
The following material handling and storage practices, loading and unloading activities,and
outdoor process areas have been evaluated for their potential for release of pollutants to
stormwater discharged from the Facility:
I. Cooling Tower Water Treatment Chemicals: Chemicals used in the cooling tower
(sulfuric acid and sodium hypochlorite)are stored in bulk tanks or handled in bulk
transport containers. The storage tanks for these materials are in secondary containment
areas or secondary containment pallets that provide containment in the event of a release.
Failure of the transfer lines outside of the dike areas could result in a release if not readily
detected. However,routine inspections reduce the potential of this failure. An Oily water
separator tank is located in this area in a concrete dike that provides secondary
containment.
2. Wood Chip Handling Area: The material handling equipment used to move the wood
chips at the fuel storage pile is refueled next to the diesel tanks. Oils, lubricants,and
hydraulic fluids used in servicing the material handling equipment are limited to the area
next to the dozer servicing building.The truck dumpers are located above concrete curbs
that provide containment in the event of a hydraulic leak. The wood chips in the fuel
storage area act as an absorbent,absorbing small spills or leaks and thus preventing a
discharge. Any spills or discharges in this area are absorbed by the wood chips and are
cleaned up and properly disposed. All waste materials, spent filters,and absorbents used
in the area are stored in closed containers prior to disposal. Facility personnel inspect the
areas regularly to ensure that proper waste handling procedures are being implemented.
3. Dozer Building Area: Two diesel fuel tanks are located outside,near the Dozer Building.
One fuel tank has a secondary containment with a concrete dike and a second is a doubled
walled tank. Used oils and liquids are placed in 55-gallon drums and totes for recycling
and disposal and stored within the containment area outside of the Dozer Building. A
wastewater tank is located next to diesel tanks in a separate secondary containment
structure.
4. Near Iron Removal System: Three(3)chemical tanks are located near the iron removal
system. The tanks are stored in a secondary containment area with a dike so that any
spills, leaks, or discharges will be contained in the dike area. Exposure to stormwater
would occur during the loading operations when material is being off-loaded from
transport tankers into the bulk tanks. During the off-loading operations,personnel are
present and buckets are used to catch any drips or discharges when hoses are
disconnected.
5. Boiler Building Area: A 330-gallon sulfuric acid bulk tote is located outdoors on the
northern side of the Boiler Building.The tote is stored in a secondary containment area
with a dike to control any spills, leaks,or discharges.An emergency generator and a
double-walled diesel tank are located on the west side of the Boiler Building on a curbed
concrete pad under a roof. A mobile/portable fuel oil tank is also used at the facility,and
stored next to the emergency generator, under a roof,when not in use.

t
b. Fuel Storage Yard: Wood chips used for fuel in the boiler are stored in a 35-acre material
handling and storage yard. The area is contoured and designed such that all stormwater
from the area discharges into a stormwater pond that collects the runoff. The stormwater
runoff from this area was originally permitted for discharge under a NPDES permit since
the beginning of Facility operations, as discussed previously. Discharge from the
retention pond has been temporarily suspended. No other areas of the Facility discharge
stormwater into this area.The poultry litter fuel is protected from stormwater contact by a
recently constructed open-ended shed; stormwater discharge from this area will resume
upon approval by NCDEQ.
7. Oil-Water Separator(OWS): All building floor drains, including the maintenance areas,
are discharged to the cooling tower through an OWS located near the cooling tower. The
OWS is serviced periodically and the waste oils collected in a small,diked tank and
recycled by an authorized oil recycling company.
8. Laydown Yard: Several used oil totes and drums,two (2)unconnected transformers,and
a gasoline storage tank are located outdoors,on the southeast side of the plant. The
materials are located in a secondary containment structure with a dike so that spills, leaks,
or discharges will be contained in the dike area.
9. Refuse Containers: The Facility has two(2)trash dumpsters for general sanitary landfill
trash. The dumpsters are sealed and equipped with lids that remain closed except when
adding refuse.
10. Oil-containing Equipment:The Facility has five(5)transformers that use non-PCB oils.
The transformers are outside within a fenced area on a stone pad with sumps that allow
precipitation and/or released oil to be recovered. One additional small transformer(40-
gallon),owned by Duke Energy, is located next to the stack in secondary containment.
11. Fly Ash Handling Area: Ash from the boiler is collected and loaded into trailers for
transfer to local farm fields to be used as a soil amendment. The ash handling area,
including the truck loading and storage area, is visually inspected daily,and cleaned
weekly. A stormwater catch basin is located just northeast of the ash handling area. This
catch basin has a sediment filter. In the event that any ash spills during loading/unloading
operations,the sediment filter prevents ash from entering the drain system and
discharging off-site.The catch basin is inspected monthly to ensure that the sediment
filter is operating efficiently. The filter is replaced,as necessary.
12. Bottom Ash Loading/Unloading Area: Containment walls are utilized to contain the bottom
ash piles before transfer. The bottom ash is transferred by front loaders into trailers for
disposal to Craven Ag. The bottom ash is used as fill at the local landfill.
Please refer to the Material Handling Procedures in Appendix B for a description of proper
loading/unloading procedures.

2.1.1 Significant Dust or Particulate Generating Processes and Areas of Exposed
and/or Erodible Soils
The facility is paved, covered by gravel,or covered with vegetation. As a result,there is
little potential for soil erosion. However, in the event of any construction or excavation
activities,the need for erosion control measures will be evaluated.
2.1.2 Discharge from Rooftop Vents,Stacks,and Air Emission Controls
Due to the nature of the emissions at the facility and the height of its stacks (up to 150 feet
tall), there are no anticipated discharges from rooftop vents or stacks that would have a
negative impact on stormwater.
2.1.3 On-Site Waste Disposal Practices
There is no on-site disposal of materials at this facility. Waste oils and liquid industrial waste
are disposed or recycled in accordance with applicable regulations.
2.2 RESULTS OF POTENTIAL SOURCE EVALUATION
Proper implementation of good housekeeping practices and proper loading and unloading
procedures, provided in Appendix B, significantly reduce the potential of material runoff into
stormwater from the loading/unloading and outdoor storage areas. Procedures to properly
address accidental spills or leaks are also included in Appendix B. Structural controls have
been implemented to protect stormwater runoff,as described in Section 4.0.

MATERIAL HANDLING PROCEDURES
Proper Storage and Handling
Clearly label and segregate materials to prevent accidental misuse or spill.
Containers must be covered, securely closed, and stored in an upright position.
Material storage and handling areas for flammable and combustible materials must be located a
safe distance away from operations that produce flames or sparks.
Designate materials that are flammable,and if possible,separate from operational areas.
Maintain ventilation to prevent accumulation of flammable or explosive vapors.
Keep the number of drums on a just-in-time basis (i.e., limit inventory). Dispose of drums as
soon as they are empty to maintain access to doorways and/or aisle ways and to minimize the
amount of potential spills and/or leaks.
Store all materials in containers that show no signs of ruptures or significant deterioration.
Store materials in areas away from traffic routes to prevent accidental spills.
Ensure that personnel trained in stormwater management handle materials.
Dispose of waste materials promptly and properly.
Store materials contained in 55-gallon drums on pallets so leaks can easily be identified and
contained.

SPILL RESPONSE PROCEDURES
Initial Response Procedures
A person discovering a spill will take the following steps:
1} Move a safe distance away from the spill area,being sure to avoid contact with
the materials and equipment in the spill area.
2) Make a cursory determination of the nature and extent of the spill, identifying the
material(s) involved, if possible.
3) Decide whether spill is incidental or an emergency response.
4) Alert the Emergency Response Coordinator(ERC) and explain the nature of the
spill as evaluated in Step 2 and Step 3. Provide the following information to the
ERC:
• Location of the spill;
• Whether or not the spill has entered the storm sewer systems;
• Material spilled;
• Estimated quantity of the spill;
• Person who discovered the spill;
• Time that the spill was discovered; and,
• Cause of the spill.
5) Steps to be Taken Include:
For small spills-Soak up with absorbent materials and dispose of properly.
For large spills- Dike or contain the spill using available control materials
(absorbent booms, pads,absorbent granules,etc.). Prevent the movement of the
spilled liquids into storm drains. If the spill is near a stormwater catch basin,
place spill blanket over the drain to prevent materials from entering the
stormwater system.
For flammable materials-Eliminate the possible ignition source with the use of
a Ere extinguisher and attempt to stop or slow the spill by using one of the above
steps.
NOTE: REFER TO THE SPCC PLAN FOR REPORTING A RELEASE

3.0 NON-STRUCTURAL CONTROLS
Non-structural controls are practices specifically intended to reduce surface water quality impact.
They are generally implemented to address any potential problems at the sources. They do not
require any structural change to the facility.The inspections,activities,and training described below
are all part of the facility's BMPs.
3.1 ROUTINE PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Routine preventive maintenance involves the regular inspection,testing,and cleaning of facility
equipment and operational systems.These inspections help to detect conditions that might lead to a
release of materials and potentially impact stormwater runoff quality.
3.1.1 Manufacturing Operations and Storage Areas
Routine Equipment Maintenance—Routine inspections of the equipment maintenance operations
are performed to ensure that,where possible,all maintenance activities are conducted within the
building. For maintenance activities that must be conducted outdoors, refer to the"Good
Housekeeping Procedures" in Appendix B.
Materials Storage Areas—Routine inspection of all materials stored at the facility, including,but
not limited to, oil products, water treatment chemicals,and other liquid polluting materials are
performed on a monthly basis to ensure that any containers are covered, stored securely,and are not
leaking. Storage areas are also periodically inspected to ensure that the volume of materials is kept to
a minimum to minimize the potential for accidental spills or leaks. Secondary containment areas are
inspected for cracks and accumulation of materials.
3.1.2 Facility Grounds
Refuse Dumpsters—Upon delivery,the refuse dumpster is inspected for holes and open seams that
would facilitate the discharge of precipitation from the container. In the event that holes or open
seams are present,a new container is requested from the supplier.
The refuse dumpster is not expected to contain significant materials; nevertheless, the area in the
vicinity of the dumpster is inspected on a regular basis to ensure that the area is clean. These routine
inspections will ensure that refuse around the dumpster is kept to a minimum and that solid waste is
not discharged into stormwater ditches.
Shipping/Loading Areas—The shipping/loading areas are inspected routinely to ensure that they
are free of leaking containers and/or spills. This inspection will also ensure that there is minimal
debris in the shipping/loading areas so that materials are not transferred outdoors and discharged into
a stormwater drain/ditch.At a minimum, inspections are conducted on a monthly basis.
Runoff Control—Stormwater inlets, catch basins,ditches and the retention pond are routinely
inspected and maintained to prevent clogging,as clogging may impede stormwater flow.
Parking Areas—Routine inspection of vehicle parking areas is performed to ensure that vehicles
are not leaking any materials that may discharge into a storm drain. Drip pans or other means of
containment are provided for parked vehicles that are leaking fluids until repairs can be made.
Erosion—Although the site is relatively flat,areas of surface erosion will be repaired whenever
they are detected. Restoration of vegetative cover will be performed as necessary during the growing
season. Repairs performed during other times of the year will be protected with suitable temporary
measures,such as straw cover.

Attachment 3
Control Measures and Treatment

4.0 STRUCTURAL CONTROLS
Implementation of the BMPs identified in Section 3.0 minimizes the potential for Significant
Material runoff into stormwater at the CCWE Facility. The following structural controls have also
been implemented to complement the Facility's non-structural stormwater management controls.
4.1 PREVENTIVE MEASURES
Preventive measures have been implemented to prevent the exposure of stormwater to contaminants.
Whenever possible,chemicals,petroleum products,and waste oils are stored inside buildings.
Product storage areas are inspected on a monthly basis. All liquid polluting material containers are
appropriately labeled.
4.2 DIVERSIONS
Stormwater runoff from paved areas of the CCWE facility is directed towards catch basins that flow
into ditches along the south and west side of the site. Stormwater from the fuel yard,fuel storage pile,
and service water building flow to the retention pond in the northeast corner of the site. Stormwater
flows to the northeast corner of the site to the pond and pump station where it is permitted to be
discharged to Bachelor Creek. As discussed previously,discharge from the retention pond is
temporarily suspended until CCWE received approval from NCDEQ to resume discharge.
4.3 CONTAINMENT
Containment areas have been constructed for storage areas and/or material handling areas to prevent
materials from being discharged to surface waters. A description of the areas with containment is
discussed in detail in Section 2.1.1 as well as the facility's SPCC Plan.These areas are inspected
daily;therefore,any spill or leak that occur in these areas would be noted and cleaned-up quickly,
following the procedures outlined in Appendix B.
4.4 OTHER CONTROLS
Additional controls that do not fit into the previously mentioned categories are not required at the
facility. As described in Section 2.1,an OWS located near the cooling tower is used to treat possible
oily water from the building floor drains, including the maintenance areas.
4.5 LIST OF MATERIALS STILL PRESENT
After the implementation of the non-structural and structural controls, no materials are expected to be
present in the stormwater discharge. However, should material usage change,these changes will be
properly addressed by implementing further non-structural controls and/or structural controls,as
necessary.

Attachment 4
Non-Stormwater Discharges

0
6.0 NON-STORMWATER DISCHARGES
The permit requires evaluation of all discharge locations for the presence of non-stormwater
discharges. Any unauthorized stormwater discharges must be eliminated,or covered under
another NPDES permit.As required by the permit, stormwater outfalls are evaluated annually for
the presence of non-stormwater discharges.
The following is a list of non-stormwater discharges authorized under the general permit:
• Discharges from fire hydrant flushing
• Potable water sources including waterline flushing
• Fire system test water
• Irrigation drainage
• Lawn watering
• Routine building wash down where no detergents of other compounds are used
• Pavement wash waters
• Air conditioning condensate
• Springs
• Uncontaminated groundwater
• Foundation orfooting drain flows
Discharges from firefighting activities are authorized by the permit but are exempt from the
