a. During the period beginning on the effective date of this permit and lasting until expiration, the
Permittee is authorized to discharge wet-decking wastewater from Outfall 001. Such discharges
shall be limited and monitored by the Permittee as specified below:

2. Samples for these parameters will be collected on the same clay as flow monitoring is reported.
TN and TP shall be monitored once each quarter on the same day as other samples are collected.
3. For a given wastewater sample, TN = TKN + (NO3-N +NO2-N), where TN is Total Nitrogen,
TKN is Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen, and (NO3-N + NO2-N) are Nitrate and Nitrite Nitrogen,
respectively.
b. There shall be no debris discharged from the facility.
c. There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts.
d. There shall be no discharge of process wastewater pollutants associated with sawmill operations.
A. (2) BIOCIDE CONDITION
a. There shall be no chromium, zinc or copper added to the treatment system except as pre-
approved additives to biocidal compounds.
b. The Permittee shall obtain approval from the Division's Aquatic Toxicology Unit prior to the use

BACKGROUND
Jerry G. Williams & Sons, Inc. operates a wet decking operation near Smithfield, NC that
produces approximately 11,600,000 board feet of product annually. The resulting seasonal
process wastewater discharge occurs 8 months out of the year and averages 0.144 MGD
monthly. This facility SIC is 2421 and federal guideline 40 CFR 429 Subpart I applies. The
discharge is to an unnamed tributary to the Neuse River, a class WS-V,NSW water in the Neuse
River Basin.
As a discharger into the Neuse NSW all nutrient rules, rules narratives, and rules reporting
requirements including any revisions are applicable. As a discharger into a WS class water,
WRC/PWSS Regional Engineer will be required to approved the final permit.
HISTORY
2008—Renewal permit issued with addition of special condition narrative for"Annual Limits for
Total Nitrogen".
TREATMENT PROCESS
Wastewater is captured from the wet decking (stacked logs are sprayed with raw well water via
irrigation system) concrete pad. The wastewater passes through a mechanical screen into an on
site ditch that flows to a unnamed tributary then to the Neuse River. The screen and drainage
area are cleaned routinely to remove any wood byproducts such as bark to prevent build up.
COMPLIANCE
Since January 2008 there were 7 TSS limit violations, 5 for daily and 2 for monthly. The
resulting enforcement action fine was rescinded by the Director because of noted variability in
reported data and seasonal start up influences.
PERMITTING STRATEGY
Wet decking wastewater NPDES discharge is covered under 40 CFR 429 Subpart I which has
two defined requirements:
Fact Sheet
NPDES NC0085936
Page 1 of 2

1) pH cannot be less than 6.0 S.0 nor greater than 9.0 S.U.
2) No debris can be discharge.
Item 2 above is in the existing permit and will continue. Item 1 above will be added in this
permit.
Based on best professional judgment, secondary standards requirements for TSS will continue,
the Settleable Solids requirement will be removed, and the Oil and Grease monitoring will
continue. The special biocide condition will continue.
Data Review
DMR data from June 2011 to November 2012 was reviewed and is summarized in Table I.
Table I: Statistical Summary DMR Data—June 2011 to November 2012
*Flow *TSS Oil & Grease TN TP,
MGD mg/L mg/L mg/L mg/L
Average 0.144 9.11 7.3 1.56 0.32
Maximum 0.144 34.01 65 3.6 0.7
Minimum 0.144 1.64 > 5 0.7 0.1
* Based on monthly average
TN Annual Load: 6 months operation x 65 lb/month(monthly average)=398 lbs/yr
Neuse Basin Nutrient Rule
Based on the TMDL and the facility's documented TN mass load impact as a non-Nitrogen
discharger, this facility is no longer required to report TN mass load nor individual TKN or
(NO3-N +NO2-N) measurements nor provided a total quarterly flow. The special conditions for
Annual Limits for Total Nitrogen and Calculation of Total Nitrogen Loads will be removed.
However, as a discharger into NSW per 15A NCAC 02B.0508, quarterly monitoring for TN and
TP are required and will continue.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES
In keeping with Division strategies the following will be incorporated into the permit:
• pH monitoring with a limit range will be added.
• TN Mass Load and Total Quarterly Flow monitoring will be removed.
• TKN and Nitrate and Nitrite reporting will be removed but will still be necessary to
determine TN.
• Special conditions for Annual Limits for Total Nitrogen and Calculation of Total
Nitrogen Loads will be removed.
