Section 1. Facility Activities and Process:
The Perdue Foods Lewiston Mill is a poultry processing and packing facility. A maintenance garage
located onsite is used for the maintenance of its truck fleet and operations support vehicles. A WWTP is
onsite to treat/discharge associated wastewater and stormwater from the processing plant.
Per the previous permit fact sheet, outfall SWO03, which is from the vehicle maintenance area, is the
only outfall monitored(per the December 2022 inspection report, this is the site designated outfall). All
other outfalls go to the WWTP and are under a wastewater permit. Per information received from the
permittee on 12/9/2022, a maintenance garage is used for the maintenance of its truck fleet and
operations support vehicles, and a WWTP is onsite to treat/discharge associated wastewater and
stormwater from the processing plant.
Per the December 2022 inspection report, stormwater from the main plant site is collected and pumped
to the facility's wastewater treatment plant. The pump station has an overflow weir that would discharge
only during severe storm events. The facility has a vehicle maintenance facility adjacent to the main
plant site. Runoff from the building and parking areas sheet flows to adjacent vegetated buffers and
swales. SWO03 is located adjacent to this facility.
Outfall SW001:
Drainage area contains the main processing plant.
Outfall SWO03: Drainage Area 4
Drainage area consists of bulk material unloading/loading, liquid storage containers (ASTs and drums),
solid waste storage, WWTP operations (oil water separator), maintenance operations, maintenance
garage, and fueling.
Page 1 of 8

Additional outfalls:
Drainage Area 1: No significant materials are exposed to stormwater.
Drainage Area 2: Drainage area consists of solid waste storage containers, ventilation discharges (e.g.,
air emissions from boilers), WWTP operations,pest control, raw material unloading,product loading,
bulk material unloading, liquid storage containers (ASTs, totes and drums), scrap material storage, and
washing activities. All collected stormwater goes to the WWTP.
Drainage Areas 3, 5, and 6: No industrial activity is performed in these areas.
Outfall SW008: Drainage Area 4
Drainage area consists of a maintenance garage. During typical storm events, stormwater infiltrates and
does not discharge; however, during heavy storm events, stormwater concentrates and is discharged.
Drainage Area 7: Drainage area consists of wastewater treatment plant operations and bulk material
loading and unloading. Stormwater sheet flows from this drainage area to the surrounding area.
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 2015 to January 2022, benchmarks exceeded for:
o BOD: lx
o COD: 2x
o TSS: lx
Threatened/Endangered Species:
There are no threatened/endangered species at the point of discharge or nearby vicinity.
Page 2 of 8

Section 3. Proposed Monitoring for Stormwater Discharges:
The Division considered potential pollutants from past and present industrial activities and data was
submitted for May 2015 to January 2022. Quantitative sampling included TSS, non-polar O&G, BOD,
and COD.
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 Lewiston Mill site.
Per the previous permit fact sheet, Flag Run Gut it is within the drainage area of a segment of the
Roanoke River that has a TMDL for dissolved oxygen. DWR TMDL staff indicated Flag Run Gut
would be assessed as Category It, which means "no criteria exceeded but approved TMDL for
parameter of interest." Therefore, COD and BOD were kept in the permit.

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
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.
Page 4 of 8

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
Fecal Coliform 1000 col/100 Based on geometric mean of 10+ samples/year
mL
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.
• 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
Page 5 of 8

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
• Benchmarks updated for parameters per guidance from DWR Standards group on stormwater
benchmarks
• Monitoring for pH added as it is a standard monitoring requirement for the stormwater
permitting program
• Monitoring for outfall SWO08 has been added as there is the potential for discharge
• Requirement to maintain routine maintenance records for the portable pump station, require the
stormwater pump station/equipment be tested for operational status quarterly as well as prior to
25-year storm events added to Section B-I I per recommendation from WaRO
Section 5. Changes from draft to final:
• Feasibility study removed from Part B per new stormwater program guidelines
• Analytical monitoring for outfall SW001 added based on comments from WaRO
• Monitoring for fecal coliform monitoring added for SW001
• Monitoring for SWO08 has been removed based on comments from WaRO
Section 6. Discussions with the Facility and Regional Office:
• Initial contact with facility: 11/17/2022
Page 6 of 8

• Initial contact with Regional Office: 11/17/2022
• Draft sent to CO peer review: N/A
• Draft sent to Regional Office: 1/18/2023
• Final permit sent for supervisor signature: 3/8/2023; 4/19/2023
Section 7. Comments received on draft permit:
• No comments submitted on draft permit during official comment period
• Mike Lawyer (DEMLR; via final permit review): Stormwater from the main plant is routed to
WWTP but can overflow in severe storms. Add fecal monitoring?
o Permit Writer response: The inspection report stated"Stormwater from the main plant
site is collected by a system of catch basins &piping that empty into perimeter swales
which are then routed to an existing stormwater collection/pump station. Collected runoff
is then pumped into their existing wastewater treatment plant. The pump station has an
overflow weir that would discharge only in the event of severe storm events." Since it is
only stormwater collected from the site at that pump station, and not actual wastewater,
should fecal coliform still be added? Or are you thinking since WWTP operations are in
the drainage area, fecal coliform should be added?
o Mike Lawyer response: Most, if not all, live animal processing plants have fecal
monitoring in their stormwater permit. It's just a bit odd to me that this permit does not.
Let's ask the RO staff their thoughts on the matter. If they are OK with no fecal
monitoring, then we'll keep the permit as is.
o WaRO response: SW001 is the main processing plant. There is a significant potential for
the presence of Fecal Coliform Bacteria at this outfall; however, the company pumps this
collected SW from a stationary pump station to their WWTP to avoid a discharge. Fecal
coliform sampling should be required.
• Bill Moore (WaRO; via email 3/13/23): In response to your question about adding Fecal
Coliform sampling requirements to this permit,please see the following comments:
o [SW001]: Yes, this is a live animal (chicken processing) facility. Stormwater runoff from
the processing plant including outside staging and parking areas, drains to an existing
perimeter ditch system. This ditch system rains to a permanent lift station that pumps the
runoff to their adjacent wastewater treatment plant. By design(and with proper O&M),
there is no discharge from this pump station to the offsite drainage ditches. Historically,
this was designated as stormwater outfall (SW001), but has not been sampled for several
years due to No Discharges. I think the (SW001) SDO should be identified in the permit
with a reference to the quarterly monitoring/documentation of O&M activities of this
pump station. We could include a statement that sampling may be required in the event of
a discharge of stormwater from this outfall.
■ DEMLR Response: This outfall will be added to the permit with monitoring for
fecal coliform. The requirement for routine maintenance and testing was already
included in the draft permit in Section 13-11.
o [SW003]: Perdue operates a vehicle/equipment maintenance facility separate from and
adjacent to their main processing plant. Runoff from this facility sheet flows & collects in
a perimeter ditch that drains to a designated outfall (SW003). This outfall would be
representative of a vehicle maintenance operation and has a stormwater discharge during
some rain events. (SW003) should be maintained in the permit(Table 1)but should not
require Fecal Coliform sampling based on current operations.
■ DEMLR Response: Monitoring identified in the draft permit will be left as is.
Page 7 of 8

o [SW008]: This designated outfall is located along the SW portion of the maintenance
facility but does not have a collection swale & experiences sheet flow only. This outfall
should be removed from the summary table 1. I was able to confirm this information after
talking with Perdue representatives, Tim Mizelle &Ashton Weller.
■ DEMLR Response: The outfall will be removed from monitoring.
• Ashton Weller(Perdue Foods, LLC; via email 3/14/2023): Per conversation with WARO staff,
we would like to remove outfall 008 that is located on the southwest side of the garage. We have
monitored the outfall over the past year and have not seen a direct discharge. We have observed
sheet flow only and there is no drainage ditch on that side. The drainage ditch on the back and
the northeast side captures a representative sample of the garage stormwater at outfall 003.
o DEMLR Response: The outfall will be removed from monitoring.

Hello Bill,
Regarding your comments:
SWO01:The requirement for routine maintenance and testing was already included in the draft permit in Section B-11. I
can add this outfall in to the permit,though, and require monitoring with fecal coliform.What drainage areas does this
outfall consist of(my notes of unpermitted drainage areas are below)?
• Drainage Area 1: No significant materials are exposed to stormwater and is exempt from stormwater monitoring
and program requirements as activities performed are not exposed to stormwater nor have the potential to
impact stormwater quality.
• Drainage Area 2: Drainage area consists of solid waste storage containers,ventilation discharges (e.g., air
emissions from boilers), WWTP operations, pest control, raw material unloading, product loading, bulk material
unloading, liquid storage containers (ASTs,totes and drums), scrap material storage, and washing activities.All
collected stormwater goes to the WWTP.
• Drainage Areas 3, 5, and 6: No industrial activity is performed in these areas.
• Drainage Area 7: Drainage area consists of wastewater treatment plant operations and bulk material loading and
unloading. Stormwater sheet flows from this drainage area to the surrounding area.
SWO03:We will leave the monitoring as identified in the draft permit.
SWO08: I added this outfall during the current renewal cycle as information provided indicated there was the potential
for discharge. Per the fact sheet: "Drainage area consists of a maintenance garage. During typical storm events,
stormwater infiltrates and does not discharge; however, during heavy storm events, stormwater concentrates and is
discharged." Since there is the potential for discharge during heavy storm events, should this outfall remain in the
permit? Or is the potential discharge still just sheet flow all the time?
Thank you,

I was looking at your question on Perdue Farms NCS000166 about adding fecal coliform since the pump can overflow in
severe storms.The inspection report stated "Stormwater from the main plant site is collected by a system of catch
basins & piping that empty into perimeter swales which are then routed to an existing stormwater collection/pump
station. Collected runoff is then pumped into their existing wastewater treatment plant. The pump station has an
overflow weir that would discharge only in the event of severe storm events." I've also attached the full inspection
report.
Since it is only stormwater collected from the site at that pump station, and not actual wastewater, should fecal coliform
still be added? Or are you thinking since WWTP operations are in the drainage area, fecal coliform should be added?
Thanks,
Brianna

Subject: RE: NCS000166 comments - Perdue Lewiston Facility
Hey Brianna,
In response to your question about adding Fecal Coliform sampling requirements to this permit, please see the following
comments:
1) [SW001]: Yes,this is a live animal (chicken processing)facility. Stormwater runoff from the processing plant,
including outside staging and parking areas, drains to an existing perimeter ditch system. This ditch system
drains to a permanent lift station that pumps the runoff to their adjacent wastewater treatment plant. By
design (and with proper O&M),there is no discharge from this pump station to the offsite drainage
ditches. Historically, this was designated as stormwater outfall (SW001), but has not been sampled for several
years due to No Discharges. I think the (SW001) SDO should be identified in the permit with a reference to the
quarterly monitoring/documentation of O&M activities of this pump station. We could include a statement that
sampling may be required in the event of a discharge of stormwater from this outfall.
2) [SW003]: Perdue operates a vehicle/equipment maintenance facility separate from and adjacent to their main
processing plant. Runoff from this facility sheet flows& collects in a perimeter ditch that drains to a designated
outfall (SW003). This outfall would be representative of a vehicle maintenance operation and has a stormwater
discharge during some rain events. (SW003) should be maintained in the permit (Table 1) but should not
require Fecal Coliform sampling based on current operations.
3) [SW008]: This designated outfall is located along the SW portion of the maintenance facility but does not have a
collection swale &experiences sheet flow only. This outfall should be removed from the summary table 1.
I was able to confirm this information after talking with Perdue representatives,Tim Mizelle &Ashton Weller. If you
have questions let me know.

Good afternoon,
We are looking to issue the Perdue Farms Lewiston Mill permit, however, Mike had a question regarding their
monitoring. Do you all feel fecal coliform monitoring should be added to the permit? Or are you comfortable with the
permit being issued without this monitoring?
Thanks,
Brianna

Most, if not all, live animal processing plants have fecal monitoring in their stormwater permit. It's just a bit odd to me
that this permit does not. Let's ask the RO staff their thoughts on the matter. If they are OK with no fecal monitoring,
then we'll keep the permit as is.
Thanks.

Good morning, Bill. Per our conversation yesterday,we would like to remove outfall 008 that is located on the
southwest side of the garage. We have monitored the outfall over the past year and have not seen a direct discharge.
We have observed sheet flow only and there is no drainage ditch on that side.The drainage ditch on the back and the
northeast side captures a representative sample of the garage stormwater at outfall 003. Let us know if you need
anything further.Thank you.

Got it,thank you. In keeping with good O&M practices, I figure you guys routinely test this equipment/generator. It is
important that all parties involved in the O&M, and actual operation during emergency conditions, be on the same page
about each staff person's responsibilities. That's why I recommended it be specified in the permit as a condition.

Hey Ashton,
OK, I thought I remembered seeing a trailer mounted type pump (PTO driven) sitting adjacent to the main pump
station. To clarify, if I see a pump mounted on wheels and not otherwise structurally connected to the building,floor, or
ground,then I usually describe that setup as portable. I don't remember that a stationary generator was in place, so I
assumed the pump would be driven by a tractor/PTO. That's why I described it as a portable, PTO driven. pump
station. Maybe a better description would be an emergency pump station operated by a portable, standby generator. I
guess my reason for recommending item#2 be included in the permit conditions, is that a mechanical piece of
equipment has to be physically mobilized & in-place to operate the standby pump station; and effectively prevent the
discharge of contaminated stormwater due to extreme storm events. Talk with Tim about this,we can have a discussion
Monday.

Permit: NCS000166 Owner-Facility:Perdue Foods LLC
Inspection Date: 12/13/2022 Inspection Type:Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
Varun Prakash & I conducted a site inspection 12/13/2023 at the Perdue Industrial Facility located at NC 308 Hwy near
Lewiston, NC. We met with Timothy Mizelle, Env Mgr, (252-348-4390)and Ashton Weller, WW Mgr. Perdue is an existing
large chicken processing faclity with multiple drainage basins. Stormwater from the main plant site is collected by a system
of catch basins & piping that empty into perimeter swales which are then routed to an existing stormwater collection/pump
station. Collected runoff is then pumped into their existing wastewater treatment plant The pump station has an overflow
weir that would discharge only in the event of severe storm events. A portable stand by pump(Tractor/PTO driven) is located
adjacent to the pump station for power outages&emergency conditions.
In additions, Perdue has a vehicle maintenance facility located adjacent to the main plant site.Runoff from the building &
parking areas sheet flows to adjacent vegetated buffers&swales. Their designated stormwater outfall (SDO 003) is located
adjacent to this facility&discharges to a DOT maintained roadside ditch that eventually drains to Flag Run Gut; a tributary
to the Roanoke River.
This facility received their original stormwater permit in 11/7/1994. The current permit was issued 12/15/2014 with an
expiration date of 12/31/2018. The company submitted an application/renewal request
in a timely manner 06/08/2018. The company has continued to provide reasonable operation & maintenance of their
facilities and compliance with their expired permit. The current permit requires analytical monitoring for the on-site vehicle
maintenance operation on a semi-annual basis.
It is recommended that the permit be renewed with the following comments:
1) The renewed permit should require quarterly sampling.
2) In addition to routine maintenance records regarding the portable pump station, the permit should require that this
stormwater pump station/equipment be tested for operational status; at a minimum quarterly and prior to major
forcasted storm events (ie. 25-year events).
