3 ' b. Have any of the non-storm water discharges been permitted by a State or local agency? [8J No DYes If Yes, on a separate sheet, identify the non-storm water discharge, agency that permitted the non-storm water discharge, and the permit number. c. Attach a description for each non-storm water discharge listed in 3.a that has not been permitted (see Attachment 1 ). At a minimum, this description should answer the following : o What is the source of the non-storm water discharge? o What are the characteristics of the non-storm water discharge (odor, color, frequency, flow rate, potential pollutants, etc.)? o What areas of your facility does the non-storm water discharge contact? o Why hasn't the non-storm water discharge been eliminated? o When is the non-storm water discharge scheduled to be eliminated? d. Does your SWPPP include Best Management Practices (BMPs) that address the non-storm water discharges described in 3.c? 0No revisions. If No, revise your SWPPP and attach a brief description of the [8J Yes NOTE: Items listed in 3.a. are exempt from permitting per Part 1. Section B.1a.i of the general permit- these are clear. nonpolluted discharges that do not require any special BMPs to manage. 3

4 ' MONITORING AND REPORTING PLAN 4. The Permit requires you to conduct an annual site inspection. Did you conduct an annual site inspection? [8J Yes If Yes, report findings or provide the following for each area inspected (see Attachment 2): o o o Date and time of inspection. Name and title of inspector. Summary of inspection findings. Evaluate if all sources of stormwater pollutants have been identified in the SWPPP; if the BMPs identified in the SWPPP to address these sources of pollutants are in place and effective; and whether additional BMPs are needed. Discuss corrective actions that are necessary. 0No If No, attach an explanation. 5. The Permit requires you to conduct visual observations of all discharge locations at least once per year (part of annual inspection). How many of these visual inspections were done? D None, attach an explanation why no visual observations were conducted. [8J One or more, attach copies of inspection logs or other supporting documentation. (see below) Explanation: On 02/12/2013, Chris Merten walked the entire site and inspected all stormwater discharge locations while completing this annual report. All discharge locations were in good condition, water located in the receiving ditches was observed to be clear with some mossy growth in areas. The mill may have to do some dredging of ditches west of building 13. This area will be monitored and corrected as needed. 4

5 ' For each visual observation conducted, report observations or provide the following for each discharge location (see Attachment 3): o Date and time of observation. 02/12/2013 o Name and title of inspector. Chris Merten, Operations Manager o Observations of non-storm water discharge or indications of prior non-storm water discharge. Describe the discharge characteristics, i.e. odor, color, etc., and possible source of discharge, and corrective action taken. If no action has been taken, discuss what and when actions will be taken to eliminate the non-storm water discharge. Identify all non-storm water discharges in item 3.a above. SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS 6. Is your facility designated to collect storm water samples? DYes [8;1 No If Yes, go to Question 7. If No, go to Question The Permit requires that storm water samples from at least -Insert applicable number of storm events- storms be collected and analyzed. a. How many storms did you sample? If you did not sample the required number of storm events provide an explanation below: 5

6 b. How many storm water discharge points are located at your facility? Did you sample from every discharge point? DYes 0No If you did not sample from every discharge point, provide explanation below why you did not or attach a justification as to why certain discharge points are substantially identical: c. For each storm sampled, provide the following information: First Storm Number of Number of Samples Analyzed Constituents Tested and Reported Samples Taken and Reported Second Storm Third Storm If all samples from the first and/or second storms were not analyzed, provide an explanation. d. Provide a summary of your sampling and analysis results. The summary should include the date and time of sample, constituents tested, who did the testing, the testing results, test method used, and test detection limit. Copies of the analytical results from the laboratory should also be attached. 6

7 ' If past years analytical results are available, on a separate sheet, compare and evaluate the analytical results from the current years testing period with the analytical results from past years (are the pollutant concentrations increasing or decreasing and why; if a reason is known?). e. For each storm sampled, provide the following information: First Storm Second Storm Third Storm Was sample taken during the first 30 minutes? Were there 3 days of dry weather before the storm? If you responded No to either of the above questions for the first or second storm, provide an explanation below: STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN EVALUATION 8. Based upon the comparison and analysis of analytical data, visual observations, etc. from the time you submitted your Notice of Intent to comply with the Permit; is your Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan effective in reducing pollutants in your facilities storm water discharge? X Yes D No 7

8 ' Discuss specific areas or elements of the SWPPP that are not effective or need improvement. Provide a brief description of alternatives or proposed revisions to the SWPPP. -The SWPP Plan is effective in reducing impacts to storm water. All BMP and structural controls were noted to be effective. 9. Provide a written evaluation of your monitoring program in detecting pollutants in storm water discharge. Discuss areas of the monitoring program that are not effective or need improvement. Provide a brief description of proposed revisions to the monitoring program: - The mill has written sanitation procedures and inspection program designed to maintain the sanitation levels to Anheuser-Busch standards. The inspection includes inside production areas, storage areas, and maintenance shops and outside areas. The inspections are designed to ensure that grain spills, litter, foul odors, storm drains and standing water do not become a nuisance. The inspections are documented and are done on a monthly basis. In addition, the grain receiving, shipping and byproducts areas are high traffic areas and receive daily "undocumented" inspections as management and the hourly workforce frequent these areas. Employees are trained to address (clean up) areas that have the potential to be a sanitation problem, which, in turn, reduces the potential for stormwater contamination. The mill also has a SPCC plan that requires monthly inspections of fuel storage and handling areas as well as outdoor transformers. Outdoor baited rodent stations are inspected (usually monthly) to ensure that baited grain is not released to the environment. With the above described inspections combined with high sanitation standards results in an effective program to minimize mill impacts to stormwater. 10. The Permit requires that: o a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan be developed and implemented. o non-storm water discharges be eliminated, reported, or permitted 8

9 ' o an annual site inspection be conducted to determine the effectiveness of BMPs in reducing and/or eliminating sources of storm water pollution o 1 visual observations per year be conducted o unless exempted, samples be collected and analyzed from at least -Exempted If you have not completed..!!the above requirements, please provide an explanation for each requirement you have not completed. 9
