No Any TMDLs? No Any threatened and/or endangered species? See Section 2 below Any compliance concerns? See Section 2 below Any permit mods since lastpermit? No New expiration date 4/30/2029 Comments on Draft Permit? See Section 6 below Section 1. Facility Activities and Process: The Conway Resins Plant produces resin and formaldehyde. All water collected in process area drains and truck wash area is reused or hauled off-site. Outfall SW001 is permitted under wastewater certificate of coverage (COC)NCG500065 (two stormwater-only outfalls flow to this wastewater outfall). Outfalls SW002, SW003, and SWO04 discharge into different locations of the same ditch; however,per an email from December 2022, the Raleigh Regional Office inspector felt combining these outfalls into one sample point is not appropriate as the ditch will receive water from offsite, potentially dealing with BOD, COD and nitrogen issues from outside contamination, fertilizers, and decaying leaf litters. As such, Outfalls SW002, SW003, and SWO04 will remain as separate outfall points. Per the 2005 staff report, a special condition remained that effectively imposed a"limit" on formaldehyde and phenol in stormwater discharges: if formaldehyde and phenol levels in the SWDB exceed 1.0 and 2.0 mg/L, respectively, spray irrigation was required (i.e., no stormwater discharge from outfall 002 allowed) (per an October 13, 1999 Memo to RRO). Per the 2015 and 2020 permit renewal applications, the permittee requested clarification on the formaldehyde concentration that triggers spray irrigation from the stormwater detention basin as Table 3 of the current permit has a benchmark of 0.49 ppm while Table 4 states a land application benchmark of 1.0 ppm. The application states the facility land applies any stormwater in the detention basin with a concentration greater than 0.49 ppm. The permittee requests: • Removal of the spray irrigation benchmark from Table 4 and make it a requirement that any stormwater with formaldehyde concentration greater than 0.49 ppm be land applied in the spray field. Modification of footnote#4 in Table 1 to reflect this change as well. o DEQ response: The threshold for spray irrigation has been updated to match the stormwater benchmarks. Page 1 of 8 • Clarify that Tier I and Tier II requirements are only triggered in the event of a discharge of stormwater with a formaldehyde concentration greater than 0.49 ppm. o DEQ response: Tier Response relates to exceedance of stormwater benchmarks. Please follow the permit requirements outlined in Part D of the permit. Outfall SWO02: Discharge area includes overflow for the stormwater detention basin(discharge from the basin is controlled by a locked valve), runoff from the east and southeast sides of the formaldehyde plant, and runoff from the central and west portion of the facility. Stormwater from the detention basin not meeting water quality requirements is sent to the permitted land application/spray system via a stormwater collection sump. Potential pollutants include: O&G, BOD, COD, TSS, nitrogen, phosphorus, formaldehyde,phenol, and cresol. Outfall SWO03: Drainage area includes oil filled electrical transformers and the area east of the spray dry operation. Potential pollutants include: O&G, BOD, COD, nitrogen, and phosphorus. Outfall SWO04: Discharge area includes runoff from the area east of the resin loading and raw material unloading area, a roadway, parking lot, and office building. Potential pollutants include: O&G and TSS. Additional Outfalls: Outfall SW001: Discharge area includes a drainage ditch that collects most of the stormwater onsite, boiler and cooling tower blowdown, the Spray Dry Operation parking area, the concrete area east of the raw material warehouse, and a grassy area. SW001 is permitted under NCG500065. Potential pollutants include: O&G, BOD, COD, nitrogen, and phosphorus. 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." Page 2 of 8 Section 2. Monitoring Information and Compliance History: • Spring 2011 to March 2022,benchmarks exceeded for: o SW001: TP 5x, pH max exceeded 1x, Formaldehyde 3x o SW002: TSS 1x, BOD 2x, COD 2x, TN 2x, TSS Ix, Formaldehyde 2x o SW003: pH min not reached 1x, Formaldehyde 3x o SW004: Formaldehyde 3x • Per the inspection report from 9/20/2012, SW001 was in Tier I status for pH • Per the inspection report from 9/20/2012, SW002 was in Tier I status for TSS Threatened/Endangered Species: There are no threatened/endangered species in the area of discharge. The Coppery Emerald (Somatochlora georgiana; NC status: SR) is in the vicinity of discharge. Section 3. Proposed Monitoring for Stormwater Discharges: The Division considered potential pollutants from past and present industrial activities and data was submitted for Spring 2011 to March 2022. Quantitative sampling included pH, TSS, O&G, BOD, COD, Nitrate/Nitrite, TKN, Total Nitrogen, Total Phosphorus, formaldehyde, p-cresol, o-cresol, m-cresol, and phenol. 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 Conway Resins Plant site.

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 Page 5 of 8 calculated Final Acute Value (the "1/2 FAV"). In most cases, translation into total recoverable values is 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 Total Nitrogen 30 mg/L TKN +Nitrate+Nitrite Benchmarks (Expressed in mg/L of N Total Phosphorus 2 mg/L BPJ; Based on wastewater permit limits for NSW waters Total Cresol 4.0 mg/L I/,FAV Formaldehyde 0.5 mg/L I/,FAV 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: Page 6 of 8 • 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. • 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: • Regulatory citations have been added • Monitoring increased from semi-annually to quarterly for all parameters (qualitative and quantitative) • "No discharge" clarifications made • eDMR requirement added • Feasibility study removed as this is no longer a Stormwater Program requirement • Boilerplate language moved into body of the permit; boilerplate no longer attached • Outfall specific monitoring has been implemented • Benchmarks updated for parameters per guidance from DWR Standards group on stormwater benchmarks • Owner entity updated per information previously submitted to DEMLR • TSS and monthly oil usage monitoring added for all outfalls per current permitting strategy • Outfall SW001 removed from the permit as it is covered under an NCG500000 wastewater COC • Outfall SWO02 separated from other outfalls as there are separate monitoring requirements • Spray irrigation threshold for formaldehyde has been updated to match stormwater benchmark per comments received from the permittee Page 7 of 8 Section 5.

There have been no changes in industrial activity since the application was submitted. The facility has three main process, formaldehyde, resin manufacturing and spray dry. The resin manufacturing area drains mainly to outfall 1 and slightly to outfall 4. The formaldehyde manufacturing area drains to outfall 2. The formaldehyde manufacturing is operated continuously. The spray dry area drains to outfall three and partially to outfall 1. There is a dry product warehouse within the drainage area to outfall 1. Onsite there are also spray fields and waste water lagoons, covered under separate permits. Outfall 1 currently has stormwater comingled with non contact cooler/boiler blowdown water. It is likely the current outfall 1 will be removed from the stormwater permit as this technically makes the comingled water wastewater. The stormwater only discharges from the western side of the facility will need to be identified and sampled. There are multiple holding areas onsite where stormwater is held and checked for formaldehyde before it is released to drain through outfalls. The water is tested with "chemets". There is also a way for the water to be diverted to the onsite waste water lagoons if the water tests positive for contaminants. All storage tanks were observed to have secondary containment. Diesel tanks had propper secondary containment. All dry products produced/used onsite are stored under cover in teh dry storage warehouse. Industrial processes for the spray dry appear to take place within the building under cover. The industrial process for the resin and formaldehyde processes are contained, but there are exposed pipes and storage tanks outside. All of the tanks and exposed areas have secondary containment. The facility appeared to be kept neatly. No issues with pollution prevention and good house keeping were observed. All required documentation was present. The stormwater pollution prevention plan was thorough and addresses all permit requirements. DMRs were provided.

I did not see the red numbers before (hard to see the red on top of the green)—had to zoom in on the image.The thought about combining the outfalls was that since they go to the same drainage ditch, rather than sampling along 3 different points of the same ditch,they could just take 1 sample downstream of all 3 to get one combined sample. If you don't feel that's appropriate, I'll keep them separate. I'll go ahead and take 001 out of the permit since all the stormwater comingles with WW and flows out of the permitted WW outfall. Just to confirm, are you saying only outfall 4 and a new outfall 5 should be listed in the permit? Or would 2, 3,4, and a new 5 be in the permit?

When they said it was hard to collect a sample,they just meant there is not always a discharge large enough to collect a sample.There should be no issue with them writing in "no discharge" during sampling events if there isn't one. I personally don't think they should sample from the ditch in the woods.The ditch is a bit off into the woods and is not visible from the fenced in site. Outfall 4 does eventually discharge to the ditch above outfall 2 and 3.The ditch will receive water from offsite and they could potentially deal with BOD, COD and nitrogen issues from outside contamination,fertilizers,and decaying leaf litters. Yes,outfall 001 is covered under NCG500065 for discharges of non-contact cooling water, cooling tower blowdown, condensate, exempt stormwater and cooling waters associated with hydroelectric operations, similar wastewaters, and inflow from the cooling tower. I have a basic understanding of this kind of permit. They also have a WQ0002012 permit. If you look at the map I made, you can see there are two distinct stormwater only discharges that flow to their outfall 1, one off of spray Dry Plant Rd and one behind the resin building.The easiest thing for them to do would be to just mark those two points as stormwater outfalls 4 and 5 and be done with it.

If boiler and cooling blowdown is being mixed in,then that is a wastewater outfall.They will need to move that out of the stormwater permit and into a wastewater permit. I understand previous permit writers were notified and nothing happened, but we need to get that out of the stormwater permit because it really doesn't 2 belong. Per my notes, 001 is covered under an NCG500000 COC(wastewater permit), so we could potentially go ahead and take it out of the stormwater permit since it's covered under NCG500000 anyway. In my notes there are 4 outfalls, but there were questions about which ones should be in the permit or not. Did you confirm if SWO02 and SWO03 can be combined into a single outfall? Does 004 use the same ditch as 002 and 003?

I don't think that there is an issue with outfall three, it is just that there is not always a discharge. Outfall 1 seems to be the bigger issue because of the comingling with the non contact boiler and cooling blowdown.They have email documentation of the previous writer of this permit being aware of the comingling, so it has been reported to the State before. I have tried to show where the two stormwater discharges would be. Let me know what you think about that and I will work on the inspection report. They have immaculate documentation btw.

Once they adjoin,they eventually meet with Outfall 003 at a fork. I walked it down last week to refresh my memory as to what would be needed to consolidate the sampling points and that point of convergence is quite deep into the woods. I think that may be why we did not consolidate 002 and 003 before. I still want to discuss with Lauren to get her point of view while she is here. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Signed Certification of the development and implementation of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan at this facility. REQUESTED PERMIT MODIFICATIONS We are requesting a modification to the pen-nit to clarify the concentration of formaldehyde that triggers spray irrigation from the stormwater detention basin(SWDB), In Section B,Table 3 (Benchmark Values for Analytical Monitoring)of the permit,the benchmark concentration for formaldehyde is set at 0.49 ppm. However,Table 4 (Threshold Values requiring Spray Irrigation from the SWDB) in Section B establishes a land application benchmark of 1.0 ppm. The gap between the Analytical Benchmark concentration(0.49 ppm)and the Spray Irrigation Benchmark concentration(1.0 ppm)creates uncertainty as to how stormwater in the SWDB with a concentration between 0.50 ppm and 0.99 ppm should be managed. The facility's standard operating procedure is to land apply any stormwater in the SWDB with a concentration greater than 0.49 ppm. We are requesting the following modifications and clarifications: I) Remove the Spray Irrigation benclunark for formaldehyde from Table 4 and make it a requirement that any stormwater with a fonnaldehyde concentration greater than 0.49 ppm be land applied in the spray field. Modify footnote 94 of Table 1 to reflect this change as well. 2) Clarify that Tier 1 and Tier II requirements are only triggered in the event of a discharge of stormwater with a fonnaldehyde concentration greater than 0.49 ppm.
