Sullins Governor Director September 29, 2009 Mr. Tom Keith 3224 Investments, LLC 121 South Coot Springs Street Fayetteville, NC 28301 Subject: Inactive NPDES Permit Cedar Creek Fibers LLC Permit Number NCS000147 Individual Stormwater Permit Cumberland County Dear Mr. Keith: Dee Freeman Secretary This letter is to inform you that the NPDES Permit NCS000147 issued for Fayetteville Fibers on Cedar Creek Road will be set as inactive. If you would like for the permit to be officially rescinded then it must be requested by the owner of the permit or current representative. Mike Lawyer from the Fayetteville Regional Office did a site visit September 28, 2009 and was informed that Cedar Creek Fibers LLC (owner of Fayetteville Fibers) went bankrupt in 2003. Given the current condition of the site, which primarily provides temporary storage for office supplies and equipment, the site does not need an NPDES Stormwater Permit. If conditions change such that your facility has industrial activity, you may be obligated depending on the industry to immediately obtain NPDES permit coverage for your stormwater discharge. Otherwise, the discharge becomes subject to enforcement as an un-permitted discharge. An informational flyer has been included which details covered industries. If you have any questions about this matter, please contact me at (919) 807-6368, brian.lowther@ncdenr.gov.

From: Lowther, Brian Sent: Tuesday, September 29, 2009 1.06 PM To: Lawyer, Mike Subject: RE: Individual Stomwater Permit NCS000147 Question Mike, Thanks for looking into this site more. I think the best thing would be to set the site as inactive in BIMS. The owner of the permit has to ask for the permit to be rescinded and I am not sure how we would do that in this case. The fees have already been waived. I can send a letter to Mr. Keith explaining that he doesn't need a permit currently but if an industry does move on site then a permit might be required as you said. Let me know if you want me to add an specific. Brian From: Lawyer, Mike Sent: Tuesday, September 29, 2009 10:13 AM To: Lowther, Brian Subject: RE: Individual Stomwater Permit NC5000147 Question Brian, I did a site visit yesterday to the address listed in BIMS for the subject facility. The facility appeared to be unoccupied, but had a sign on the door to contact Tom Keith for information. After speaking with Mr. Keith, he informed me that Cedar Creek Fibers LLC (owner of Fayetteville Fibers) went bankrupt in 2003. He has owned/managed the property for the past five years and said that the building is only being used for temporary storage of some office furniture and some equipment for the Goodyear tire plant that is also here in Fayetteville. I did not observe any materials or equipment outside during my site visit, which would confirm this. I informed Mr. Keith that should an industry move into the facility that permit coverage might be required depending on the industrial activity and exposure. I think I would recommend rescission of the NC5000147 permit, but I'm not sure about the best way to proceed. Can"We simply rescind the permit in BIMS without sending a rescission letter to the previous owner? Or, do we need to get Mr. Keith to submit an ownership change form along with a rescission request? Either way, I think would be beneficial to send Mr. Keith some kind of letter regarding permit coverage requirements so that both us and him have documentation pertaining to this facility. If we can send him something like this, his address is: 3224 Investments, LLC 121 South Cool Springs Street Fayetteville, NC 28301 Thanks, Mike Michael Lawyer Environmental Specialist NCDENR-Division of Water Quality Surface Water Protection Section Fayetteville Regional Office Direct: (910) 433-3329 Main: (910) 433-3300 Fax: (910) 486-0707 e-mail: mike.lawyer@ncdenr.gov (please note that my e-mail address has changed) *E-mail correspondence to and from this address may be subject to the North Carolina Public Records Law and may be disclosed to third parties.

I guess we will see if we can rescind the permit or make it inactive. Let me know what you find out.

This Plan shall be considered public information in accordance with Part 11I, Standard Conditions, Section E, Paragraph 3 of this individual permit. The Plan shall include, at a minimum, the following items: 1. Site Plan. The site plan shall provide a description of the physical facility and the potential pollutant sources which may be expected to contribute to contamination of stormwater discharges. The site plan shall contain the following: (a) A general. location map (USGS quadrangle map or appropriately drafted equivalent map), showing the facility's location in relation to transportation routes and surface waters, the name of the receiving water(s) to which the stormwater outfall(s) discharges, or if the discharge is to a municipal separate storm sewer system, the name of the municipality and the ultimate receiving waters; and accurate latitude and longitude of the point(s) of discharge. (b) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities, outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and waste disposal practices. (c) A site map drawn to scale with the distance legend indicating location of industrial activities (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas and loading and unloading areas), drainage structures, drainage areas for each outfall and activities occurring in the drainage area, building locations, existing BMPs and impervious surfaces, and the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious. For each outfall, a narrative description of the potential pollutants which could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge. (d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred at the facility during the 3 previous years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts. (e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. The certification statement will be signed in accordance with the requirements found in Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3. 2. Stormwater Management Plan. The stormwater management plan shall contain a narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or minimize the exposure of significant materials to stormwater, including structural and nonstructural measures. The stormwater management plan, at a minimum, shall incorporate the following: Part 11 Page L of 5 Permit No. NCS000147 (a) Feasibility Study. A review of the technical and economic feasibility of changing the methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure of materials and processes to stormwater. Wherever practical, the permittee shall prevent exposure of all storage areas, material handling operations, and manufacturing or fueling operations. In areas where elimination of exposure is not practical, the stormwater management plan shall document the feasibility of diverting the stormwater runoff away from areas of potential contamination. (b) Secondary Containment Schedule. A schedule to provide secondary containment for bulk storage of liquid materials, storage of Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority chemicals, or storage of hazardous substances to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. If the secondary containment devices are connected directly to stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices [which shall be secured with a locking mechanism] and any stormwater that accumulates in the containment area shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the accumulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be uncontaminated by the material stored within the containment area. Records documenting the individual making the observation, the description of the accumulated stormwater and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a period of five years. (c) BMP Summary. A narrative description shall be provided of Best Management Practices (BMPs) to be considered such as, but not limited to, oil and grease separation, debris control, vegetative filter strips, infiltration and stormwater detention or retention, where necessary. The need for structural BMPs shall be based on the assessment of potential of sources to contribute significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected through monitoring of stormwater discharges. 3. Spill Prevention and Response Plan. The Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP) shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials inventory of the facility. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the SPRP shall be identified. A responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or exposure of materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP must be site stormwater specific. Therefore, a SPCC plan may be a component of the SPRP, but may not be sufficient to completely address the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may be incorporated by reference into the SPRP. 4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance program shall be developed. The program shall document schedules of inspections and maintenance activities of stormwater control systems, plant equipment and systems. inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program. Part II Page 2 of 5 Permit No. NCS000147 Employee Training. Training schedules shall be developed and training provided at a minimum on an annual basis on proper spill response and cleanup procedures and preventative maintenance activities for all personnel involved in any of the facility's operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the training shall be identified. 6. Responsible Party. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall identify a specific position(s) responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision to the Plan. Responsibilities for all components of the Plan shall be documented and position assignments provided. 7. Plan Amendment. The permittee shall amend the Plan whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, or maintenance which has a significant effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. The Director may notify the permittee when the Plan does not meet one or more of the minimum requirements of the permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee shall submit a.time schedule to the Director for modifying the Plan to meet minimum requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3) to the Director that the changes have been made. 8. Facility Inspection Program. Facilities are required to inspect all stormwater systems on at least a semiannual schedule, once in the fall (September -November) and once in the spring (April - June). The inspection and any subsequent maintenance activities performed shall be documented, recording date and time of inspection, individual(s) making the inspection and a narrative description of the facility's stormwater control systems, plant equipment and systems. Records of these inspections shall be incorporated into the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. Stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring as required in Part H of this permit shall be performed in addition to facility inspections. 9. Implementation. The permittee shall document all monitoring, measurements, inspections and maintenance activities and training provided to employees, including the log of the sampling data and of activities taken to implement BMPs associated with the industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance activities. Such documentation shall be kept on -site for a period of five years and made available to the Director or his authorized representative immediately upon request. SECTION B: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of representative outfall status and shall be performed as specified below in Table 1. Qualitative monitoring is for the purpose of evaluating the effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution Part II Page 3 of 5 Permit No. NCS000147 Prevention Plan (SPPP) and assessing new sources of stormwater pollution. No analytical tests are required. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls does not need to be performed during a representative storm event. In the event an atypical condition is noted at a stormwater discharge outfall, the Permittee shall document the suspected cause of the condition and any actions taken in response to the discovery. This documentation will be maintained with the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. All qualitative monitoring will be performed twice per year, once in the spring (April - June) and once in the fall (September - November). Table 1.
