Response to Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Valley Proteins Inc. — Rose Hill Division
Stormwater Certificate of Coverage No. NCG060143
Dear Ms. Hall:
Please accept this letter in response to a Compliance Evaluation Inspection Report dated December 6,
2021 received by Valley Proteins, Inc. — Rose Hill Division. A rating of Non -Compliant was issued in the
inspection report and additional information is provided below in response to that rating.
Section 3) Analytical Monitoring
The inspection report alleges that analytical monitoring was not conducted and recorded in accordance
with permit requirements. Analytical monitoring was conducted monthly and results submitted via
email to your attention on October 15, 2021, November 24, 2021, and December 14, 2021. Tiered
responses were on file for inspection and reviewed by the inspector during the December 1, 2021
inspection. Tiered responses include continued monthly site inspections, cleanout of Stormwater
BMP's, replacement of Stormwater BMP's, and most recently a Stormwater Action Plan dated December
14, 2020, was submitted to the Wilmington Regional Office. A request was made by the inspector to
add more detail to the Tiered responses and the facility has modified the Tier response documents to
reflect that change. If the facility misclassified the Tiered status incorrectly, it was done so
inadvertently. However the correct monthly analytical monitoring schedule was carried over into the
new permit cycle.
This section also stated that Fecal Coliform must be sampled at Outfalls 3 and 4. The attached guidance
from NC DEMLR, dated December 4, 2013, states that "facilities that process meats" are required to
monitor for fecal coliform. "Facilities that process meats" are defined in the guidance as "facilities that
process carcasses or other cuts of meat into a final product capable of use as human food."
Furthermore, the guidance states that "Facilities that only process whole or parts of animal by-products

(not for human consumption) or animal fats/oils are not subject to this monitoring." If the
aforementioned Department issued guidance has changed, we respectfully request a copy of the
updated guidance for our review.
Section 4 Other Observations
The Department requests that a Representative Outfall Status application for Outfall 2 be submitted,
along with a request to eliminate Outfall 1. This application was submitted on May 1, 2019 and it is
attached for reference. A hard copy of this application was provided to the inspector as well.
Permit and Outfalls
This section references improper documentation by a facility with representative outfall status. This
status was never granted to our facility from the Department, and as a result, this status is not
applicable to our facility at this time.
In conclusion, an Action Plan for four consecutive benchmark exceedances has been submitted to the
Wilmington Regional Office, as required under NCG060000, which became effective July 1, 2021. All
efforts are being made by the facility to reduce COD and TSS concentrations at Outfalls 3 and 4. As
indicated to the inspector, these outfalls drain to a swampy area, which backs up water into the
stormwater outfalls. As a result, it can be difficult to collect a representative stormwater sample during
most of the year.

Stormwater Action Plan
Valley Proteins, Inc. — Rose Hill Division
General Permit No. NCG060000, COC No. NCG060143
Pursuant to Condition E-7(b) in General Stormwater Permit NCG060000, an Action Plan is required for
any Stormwater Outfall where four consecutive benchmark results are above permitted benchmark
values.
Valley Proteins, Inc. — Rose Hill Division ("Facility"), COC NCG060143, operates a rendering facility which
processes animal by-products and used cooking oil. These raw materials are recycled and converted to
value added feed ingredients for the animal feed and biofuel industries.
The stormwater conveyance system is broken into 4 discharge drainage areas: Outfall 1, which does not
contain any industrial activities (NE corner of the site); Outfall 2 (on the east side of the site); Outfall 3
(on the SE side of the site); and Outfall 4 (on the west side of the site). Outfalls 3 and 4 have entered
into Tier III SW monitoring, as a result of four consecutive COD and TSS results above benchmark values.
Following is a summary of benchmark exceedances for Outfalls 3 and 4 under the permit, which became
effective July 1, 2021:

Outfall 3 drainage area includes the Vehicle Maintenance Facility, area around the raw material truck
drain pad, and raw material trailer staging area. There are buried concrete settling chambers installed
at each corner of the paved area. Water enters these concrete settling chambers prior to flowing into
the stormwater retention pond. Accumulated solids in the settling chambers are periodically removed
using a vacuum truck. Overflow from the stormwater retention pond enters into a marshy area that
eventually feeds Taylor's Creek.
Current BMP's in the drainage areas leading to Outfall 3 include the following:
• Periodic pumping of the concrete settling chambers using a vacuum truck
• Periodic street sweeping of the paved areas
■ Periodic pressure washing of the area around the raw material truck drain pad
• Frequent inspection of raw material trailer staging area to identify leaking trailers
Proposed modifications and additions to these BMP's are as follows:
➢ Increase pumping frequency of the settling chambers to weekly at a minimum.

y Increase street sweeping to a minimum frequency of weekly for paved areas that discharge to
Outfall 3_
Inspection frequency of raw material trailer staging area will be increased to once per day.
➢ Increased focus on training for employees that manage the raw material truck drain pad, to include
proper cleaning techniques to reduce overspray and cleaning trailer tires prior to units leaving the
drain pad.
Outfall 4 drainage area includes industrial areas on the west side of the plant. These areas include the
rendering facility, finished fat tank farms, chemical and petroleum storage areas, trailer staging areas on
the east side of the plant, rendering plant roofs, and Fat Extraction Facility. Runoff that is not captured
by wastewater drains at the rendering plant and Fat Extraction Plant flows into a series of drainage
ditches on the east and west sides of the site, which discharges to a drainage ditch on the south side of
the site_ This ditch on the south side of the site discharges at the southern portion of the property into a
marshy area that eventually feeds Taylor's Creek.
Current SMP's in the drainage areas leading to Outfall 3 include the following:
• Frequent inspection of raw material staging area on the east side of the Facility.
• Frequent cleaning of the drain at the bottom of the raw material ramp.
• Frequent inspection of the raw material staging area at the Fat Extraction Facility.
• Frequent inspection of the fat farm containment areas.
• Frequent inspection of the roof
A significant BMP that was recently completed was the paving of a significant portion of the south side
of the Facility in November 2021.
Proposed modifications and additions to these BMP's are as follows:
➢ Increase frequency of inspections to raw material trailer staging area on the east side of the Facility
to daily.
➢ Increase cleaning frequency of the strip drain at the bottom of the raw material ramp to weekly.
➢ Increase frequency of inspections to raw material trailer staging at the Fat Extraction Facility to once
per day
➢ Increase frequency of inspections to fat farm containment areas to once per day
Increase frequency of roof inspections to once per day, when roof drains are being directed to the
stormwater drainage ditches.
➢ Incorporate weekly street sweeping of new paved area on the south side of the Facility.

The permit does not distinguish between facilities that process meat product for human food,
and facilities that process any type of animal tissue that is not destined for human consumption.
In the industry, the second category does not manufacture a "meat food product." The
requirement has been in the general permit for years, but monitoring applicability in footnote 4
still confuses both permittees and NC DENR staff. The source of confusion comes from what
terms like "meat" and "meat products" mean in the context of federal statutes like the Meat
Inspection Act and Poultry Inspection Act, as well as USDA regulations in 9 CFR Parts 300-500.
For example, rendering plants that accept animal carcasses and by-products not intended for
human consumption contend they do not "process meats" because they do not make a "meat
product" [defined in 9 CFR Part 301.2 as "Any article capable of use as human food which is
made wholly or in part from any meat or other portion of the carcass of any cattle, sheep,
swine, or goats, except those exempted from definition as a meat food product ...... 1.

Guidance for NCG060000 Fecal/Enterococci Monitoring
and BMP Assessment Report Requirement
NC DEMLR Stormwater Permitting Program
December 4, 2013
However, these regulations do not include poultry for human consumption in the definition of
"meat" or "meat products," either —those are defined elsewhere with terms like "carcass" and
qualified by whether the slaughtered poultry is "capable of use as human food." The
Stormwater Permitting Program interprets the fecal or enterococci monitoring requirement to
apply to plants manufacturing chicken products for human food as well. In short, the
bacteriological monitoring requirement applies to a part of this industrial sector that is
broader than the specific definitions of "meat" and "meat products" established by USDA
regulations imply. With this guidance, our program is clarifying the applicability of the
monitoring requirement.
A: The NC DENR Stormwater Permitting Program considers facilities that process carcasses
(including all parts of slaughtered poultry) or other cuts of meat into a final product capable of
use as human food as facilities that "process meats." Facilities that only process whole or parts
of animal carcasses considered "by-products" (not for human consumption) or animal fats/oils
are not subject to this monitoring. However, these facilities are subject to the BMP Assessment
Report requirements in Part II, Section E of the General Permit.
What facilities are required to do the BMP Assessment Report in Part II, Section E? Does it
apply to facilities already monitoring fecal coliform?
The permit specifies that facilities that use or process animal fats / byproducts must
"complete and submit an assessment of best management practices associated with off-
loading, handling and spill prevention of rendered fats and oils that are stored and used at the
facility," within 12 months of the issuance of coverage under the General Permit. For
permittees with renewed coverage in 2012, that deadline was December 1, 2013,
A: If the facility uses or processes animal fats or by-products, it must complete a BMP
Assessment Report and submit the report to NC DENR/DEMLR. A facility may use or process
fats/by-products, and also be considered a facility that "processes meats." We realize those
facilities are already monitoring fecal coliform or enterococci concentrations, and are subject to
the benchmarks and Tier Response responsibilities in the General Permit (which include BMP
review and assessment). The BMP Assessment Report may voluntarily include a summary of
those data and tiered response actions to date.

Stormwater Certificate of Coverage No. NCG060143
Enclosed please find a Representative Outfall Status Request Form for Valley Proteins, Inc., along with a
summary of stormwater results from each outfall. Per recommendation of Brian Lambe, DEQ
Environmental Specialist, we respectfully request that Outfall 3 be granted Representative Status due to
similar drainage areas, runoff characteristics, and monitoring results as Outfall 2, Qualitative Visual and
Quantitative Analytical monitoring would continue at Outfall 3. Outfall 2 would change to Qualitative
Visual monitoring only. Similar activities include a shared stormwater retention pond that drains to both
outfalis. The retention pond collects runoff from areas surrounding the Vehicle Maintenance Facility,
truck wash, employee parking lot and facility entranceway.
in addition, we request that Outfall 1 be permanently closed due to a lack of industrial activity in the
area. A summary of benchmark monitoring results from Outfall 1 is also enclosed.
If you require any additional information, please feel free to contact me at [phone] ext. 25119.

1. Waiting on central office
2. Waiting
3. 1 will give a formal answer upon receipt of the ROS application. I would like you to continue to compile data to
show historical context. I think we also talked about sampling off site for comparison. You will also have to show
documentation of efforts to reduce the COD. Usually the COD is directly tied to TSS. TSS reduction will usually
give results. You may try flocculants in the upstream ditch to improve numbers.
But we can talk when I get the application.

Brian — The following items were discussed during the last onsite SW inspection.
1) Close out Outfall 1 completely due to lack of industrial activity in the area. This request was made in the cover letter
of the ROS application recently submitted to DEQ.
2) Apply for ROS for Outfall 2 since drainage area and runoff characteristics are the same as Outfall 3 (OF2 is
representative of OF3). Application has been submitted to DEQ.
3) Request to be relieved of Tier 11 monitoring at Outfalls 3 and 4 going forward.
To clarify your ernail below, would you like us to compile historical data and send that information to you?

I have not yet seen the application for ROS for Outfalls 1 and 2.
1 started compiling data to review, but maybe you should do this. I forget the question for 3 and 4. 1 think the question is
if you can be relieved of tier two?

Good afternoon Brian,
When you were last here I understood you wanted us to send you (direct) 2-3 months of lab results for outfall 3 and 4;
see attached. March was amended because the lab missed picking LIP one set of bottles.
The numbers exceed benchmark, but have been dropping. Also, it's very likely we'll have no flow in May.
Please let me know if there is anything else.
Regards,
Corey Lanier

Brian — Hope all is well. We are interested in closing out Outfall 1 and applying for Representative Outfall Status at
Outfall 2, per your recommendations during the recent SW inspection at VP — Rose Hill. How do we proceed with those
items? Thanks.
