Dear Mr. Parton:
The Non-Discharge Permitting Unit has conducted a preliminary review of the subject permit
application package. Additional information is required before we may continue our review.
Please address the following items no later than February 23, 2002.
I. Please indicate whether a liner meeting the requirements of 15A NCAC 2H
.0219(f)exists in the recycle lagoon or refill pond. .
- 2. A condition of a non-discharge wastewater recycling permit is that there be no
discharge from the system. Currently there appears to be overflow devices in both
ponds that are considered discharge points by the Division. These devices will
need to be removed in order for this to be considered a non-discharge facility.
3. Please provide calculations documenting the ponds can retain the 25-year,24-
hour storm based on the surface area draining to them. Freeboard requirements in
the permit will be the greater of two feet, or that required to contain the 25-year,
24-hour storm event plus one foot of structural freeboard for any earthen basins.
Drainage from the log sprinkler area, and any other areas draining to the lagoon,
must be considered in the storage calculations. The graph provided does not
detail what calculations were made,and whether surface drainage from
surrounding areas was considered.
Please note that comments from the Groundwater Section are pending at this time, and additional
requests may be necessary to address these comments. Please be aware that you are responsible
for meeting all requirements set forth in North Carolina rules and regulations. Any oversights
that occurred in the review of the subject application package are still the responsibility of the
applicant. In addition,any omissions made in responding to the above items may result in future
requests for additional information.

Dear Roger:
This letter is addressing the items you identified in your letter to Mr. Danny Ingle of Gilkey
Lumber Company dated February 28, 1997.
My firm is currently in the process of performing an audit and update of Gilkey Lumber
Company's stormwater management plan. During an inspection of the facilities with Mr. Ingle,
we identified a recent break in the containment from the log spraying operation that was allowing
runoff from that process to run into the lower holding pond identified in your letter. We feel sure
that this is the source of discoloration in the stream. We have had the stream running into the
lower holding pond for about one year and have had no problems with stream discoloration until
recently.
Gilkey Lumber will immediately repair the containment for the log spraying operation to prevent
additional runoff into the lower pond. In addition,they will pump down the lower pond into an
upper holding pond to prevent discharge and allow settling to occur. We will also begin taking
samples every two days and after storm events to monitor for discoloration until we have
corrected the problem.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter. If I can be of any help, please don't hesitate to
contact me.

Mr. Danny Ingle

Rutherfordton, North Carolina 28139
Subject: Discharge of process water
Rutherford County
Dear Mr. Ingle:
This is to inform you that a discharge was observed from the
lower holding pond used in the log wetting operation at Gilkey
Lumber. Company on February 18, 1997 . This discharge is in
violation of North Carolina General Statues (NCGS) 143-215. 1.
The Director of the Division of Water Quality has the authority
to assess civil penalties by NCGS 143-215. 6A (h) for the
discharge without a permit. However, understanding this is an
intermittent discharge the preferred course of action is .the
discharge be permanently eliminated.
I would suggest the stormwater drains be diverted away from
the log wetting holding pond. In diverting the stormwater
drains, care must be taken to prevent erosion of soil which would
impact the stream below your lumber company. When the lower
holding pond was expanded in 1996, surface water ,from the above
mentioned stream was diverted into the holding. pond. This flow
should also be removed to prevent any further discharge from the
holding pond. It is understood your log wetting operations
requires addition of water during the dry months of the year. I
suggest the Army Corp of Engineers (704-271-4854) be contacted to
see if their approval is necessary of a small structure to be
constructed across the stream below the lower holding pond.
Having this small structure would allow water to be pumped to the
lower holding pond as necessary to keep an adequate supply for
log wetting while preventing a discharge to surface waters.
