This facility was shut down 5-6 years ago when the NCDOT condemned the adjoining properties and
removed the power (pole) to the facility for a road widening protect on Hwy 28 North (future Hwy 74 West)
The existing driveway which allowed log trucks to access the property was not rebuilt to accomodate
entrance to the site Mr Dehart would like to maintain the stormwater permit and eventually put the sawmill
back into operation

All persons desiring to be covered by this General Permit must register with the Division of
Water Quality by the filing of a Notice of Intent (NOI) and applicable fees The NO[ shall be
submitted and a certificate of coverage issued prior to any discharge of stormwater associated
with industrial activity that has a point source discharge to the surface waters of the state
Any owner or operator not wishing to be covered or limited by this General Permit may make
application for an individual NPDES permit in accordance with NPDES procedures in 15A
NCAC 2H 0100, stating the reasons supporting the request Any application for an individual
permit should be made at least 180 days prior to commencement of discharge
This General Permit does not cover activities or discharges covered by an individual NPDES
permit until the individual permit has expired or has been revoked Any person conducting an
activity covered by an individual permit but which could be covered by this General Permit may
request that the individual permit be revoked and coverage under this General Permit be
provided
If industrial materials and activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described in 40
CFR § 122 26(g) the facility may qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES stormwater
discharge permit requirements Any owner or operator wishing to obtain a No Exposure
Certification must submit a No Exposure Certification NOI form to the Division, must receive
approval by the Division, must maintain no exposure conditions unless authorized to discharge
under a valid NPDES stormwater permit, and must reapply for the No Exposure Exclusion once
every five (5) years
Facilities submitting NOls for coverage under this permit, and facilities submitting renewal
forms for continued coverage under this permit, prior to establishment or approval of a Total
Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for pollutant(s) for stormwater discharges (i e wet weather
flows), may be covered under this permit during its term For such facilities, continued coverage
under the reissuance of this permit is subject to the facility demonstrating that it does not have a
reasonable potential to violate applicable water quality standards for such pollutants due to the
stormwater discharge(s) For facilities that do have a reasonable potential for violation of
applicable water quality standards due to the stormwater discharge(s), the facility shall apply for
an individual permit 180 days prior to the expiration of this general permit Once the individual
permit is issued and becomes effective the facility will no longer have coverage under the general
permit Impaired waters scheduled for TMDL development are on North Carolina's 303(d) List

Permit No NCG210000
4 For each sampled representative storm event the total precipitation must be recorded An on -site ram gauge or local rain
gauge reading must be recorded
5 No monitoring is requited if the facility does not retain exposed piles of sawdust wood chips, bark mulch or other smulae
material on site for more than seven (7) days if a facility opts out of monitoring on the basis of removing accumulated
material in seven (7) days or less the facility shall record and maintain a log in its SPPP of dates of when material is
generated and removed and details about how/by whom it was removed
All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a representative storm event at each
stormwater discharge outfall (SDO)
A representative storm event is a storm event that measures greater than 0 1 inches of rainfall
and that is preceded by at least 72 hours in which no storm event measuring greater than 0 1
inches has occurred A single storm event may contain up to 10 consecutive hours of no
precipitation For example, if it rains for 2 hours without producing any collectable discharge,
and then stops, a sample may be collected if a rain producing a discharge begins again within the
next 10 hours

stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) regardless of representative outfall statuti
It the permittee's qualitative monitoring indicates either that existing stormwater BMPs are ineffective
or that significant stormwater contamination is present, the permittee shall investigate potential causes,
evaluate the feasibility of corrective actions, and implement those corrective actions appropriate A
written record of the permittee's investigation, evaluation, and response actions Shall be kept in the
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluating the effectiveness of the Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) assessing new sources of stormwater pollution and prompting
the permittee's response actions to pollution If the permittee repeatedly fails to respond
effectively to correct problems identified by qualitative monitoring, or if the discharge causes or
contributes to a water quality standard violation, DWQ may

Technical Bulletin for NCG210000 Volume IV
What activities are covered by this general permit?
Last Revised 3118/201 1
NCG210000 allows Stormwater discharges associated with establishments primarily engaged in Timber
Products [standard industrial classification (SIC) 24] and activities deemed by DWQ to be similar in the proc
ess and/or the exposuie of raw materials, products by products, or waste materials In 2011, the general
permit was modified to cover discharges from Wood Chip Mills, which were previously excluded
Excluded Wood Kitchen Cabinets [SIC 2434) and Wood Preserving [SIC 2491]
What are the key permit requirements?
• Implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) (Part II Section A)
• Provide secondary containment for all bulk storage of liquid materials (fait II Section A, 2 (b))
• Perform and document qualitative monitoring during a representative stoi in event (Part II Section C)
• Perform analytical monitoring twice per year if storing exposed piles of sawdust wood chips bark mulch, or
like materials on site for more than seven (7) days and submit the results on the monitoring report forms pro
vided with the permit (Part lI Section B)
What has changed since the last renewal?
Some of the major changes since the last renewal include
• Twice per yeai monitoring of pH, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) for
facilities storing exposed piles of sawdust, wood chips, bark mulch or like materials for longer than a week
• Refinements and clarifications to the SPPP requirements, refer to Part II, Section A
• Tiered response requirements for benchmark exceedences based on ana13 tical results, and dnection to notify
the Regional Office in the event of four benchmark exceedances Benchmarks are not limits
• Twice per year qualitative monitoring during a representative storm event
• Requirement to use forms provided by the Division to record qualitative monitoring results
• Perform analytical monitoring twice per yeas for any vehicle maintenance area (Part Il Section D)
What are BMPs, and why are they important?
The SPPP should include `Best Management Piactices' (BMPs) to control discharge of pollutants from a facil
ity's stormwater outfalls BMPs include a variety of things that help minimize potential for pollutants to get
into the stormwatei draining from a facility There are different types of BMPs
Non-structural (practices or activities) BMPs include
• Eliminating exposure of materials and equipment wherever possible by moving them to indoor locations
• Practicing good housekeeping on site Handle and store materials at the facility in an orderly fashion
• Exchanging hazardous materials for non hazardous ones wherever possible
• Establishing routine leak & maintenance checks to minimize chance of spills Clean up spills immediately
• Establishing bulk storage tank piotocols that minimize the iisk of spills during loading and unloading
• Store used pallets and process waste dumpsters inside or under roof so water can't flow on or around them
Structural (equipment or devices) BMPs include
• Containment dikes around the loading areas of bulk liquid storage containers
• Changing painting operations from liquid systems to powdered systems that do not generate solvent waste

Does a certified lab need to
analyze my samples?
Monitoring under all NPDES per
mats must be conducted in actor
dance with test procedures ap
proved under federal regulations in
40 CFR § 13& Labs certified by
North Carolina perform analysis in
accordance with those procedures
N C certification requirements do
not apply to stormwater only dis
charges, but data gathered under
an NPDES permit must conform to
federal requirements Using a cer
tified lab is one way to ensure cam
pliance A list of certified labs is
available fiom http //
portal ncdenr orgAsebAvq/lab/cert/
Note that pH is a field parameter
and must be measured within
lb minutes You must train on
site staff to measure pH using ap
proved methods or contract with
commercial services All entities
with field parameter certification
per 15A NCAC 2H 0800 can ana
lyze pH in accordance with federal
procedures (see website for list)
How big of a pile triggers
monitoring?
The permittee must perform ana
lyttcal monitoring If the facility
stores exposed piles of sawdust,
wood chips, hark mulch or similar
materials for longer than seven (7)
days The permit does not specify a
LAST REV 3118111
size threshold because a large area
covered in "small mounds" could
impact stormwater as much as one
large pile If reasonable judgment
tells you there are piles on site
monitoring is required unless that
material is removed within a
week Also, removing only the top
portion of piles and leaving signifi
cant amounts of material on the
bottom does not satisfy the
monitoring exemption Further
more, in some cases DWQ may
determine leachate from such piles
is a wastewater The facility
should prevent discharge of pile
leachate as much as possible
Do I have to keep a record of
every little piece of sawdust to
prove I don't have to monitor?
No However if the facility "opts
out' of anal} tical monitor ing be
cause it removes piles within a
week's time, DWQ expects the fa
cility to keep a record of when the
material Kas generated, and %hen
and how it was removed to demon
strate short periods of storage
If I'm sampling my discharge,
do I do qualitative monitoring
at the same time?
We advise you to The permit does
not specify it, which was an over
sight if you ate subject
to analytical monitoring, it is prat
tical to do both at the same time
