Existing treatment facilities should be described in detail.
Stormwater retention pond measuring 67' x 155' x 5 ft (approx. 400,000 gal.) is located on the west side of the facility. This
receives stormwater runoff from the entire log yard, cooling tower discharge and some fire fighting and fire prevention wash
water. By detaining the water in this pond, some pollutants settle out and provide for cleaner water being discharged. A
"over and under" inverted weir type device at both the inlet and outlet allows for separation of oils and solids from the
water. This pond is periodically manually released into a lower detention basin where further settling can occur, then
released through a riser, which is perforated with stone filter, to the Yadkin River. Absorbent booms and pigs are placed at
key locations throughout the facility to prevent the release of oil and contaminated stormwater.

Permit now is for one (1) source (outfall), the rail car steam condensate. The remaining 3 sources,
steam generator condensate, cooling tower blowdown and pump/bearing non -contact cooling

Chemical additive in use for the rail car steam condensate is Morton System Saver Pellets (a water
softener).
The completed invoice form is attached with corrections. Mike Mickey in the Regional Office
informed me of the mailing error for invoices and asked me to make the corrections to the invoice
which I received. Please note there is a name change for the permit contact and responsible parry.
A check for the permit renewal processing fee in the amount of $400.00 is enclosed.

7. Size (land available for expansion and upgrading):
There appears to be adequate land available for installation
of any treatment equipment which may be required.
8. Topography (relationship to flood plain included):
The site has been cut and filled to allow for paving, and

downstream uses: The Yadkin is the major watercourse in
the area, and is used for a variety of purposes,
consistent with its loci' classification.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
As previously noted, the waste streams to be covered under
the proposed Permit are diverse. Each of the wastestreams
eventually co -mingle at the extreme southern edge of the
property, at a culvert which conveys the wastewater below the
Southern Railway tracks, and thence to the Yadkin. The flow
paths are essentially as illustrated in "Figure 2" which was
submitted as an attachment to the application.
The most straightforward of the wastestreams to address are
those consisting of the cooling tower blowdown, steam generator
condensate, the cooling water circulated to cool bearings
(non -contact), and intermittent discharges from the fire
protection water tanks. Each of these discharges reaches the
culvert beneath the Railway line by over -land flow. These
streams would appear to be eligible for coverage under a General
Permit or Permits, were it not for the fact that they are
eventually combined into a common outfall which also conveys the
waste stream from the retention ponds.

The second wastestream to be addressed is stormwater which
flows southwest across the log yard, and is then conveyed to the
upper and larger of the two retention ponds. The stormwater
flows through the two retention ponds until it reaches the common
conveyance culvert beneath the Southern Railway line. This water
becomes laden with organic material (wood chips, bark, etc.)
during transit across the log yard, and likely picks up trace
amounts of oil and grease.
The third and final wastestream is that generated by the
washing down of the exterior surfaces of various plant structures
in the air pollution equipment and dryer area.
This area is isolated from any stormwater except for that
which actually falls within this segregated area. There is also
a conveyance pipe from the chipper located on the northern edge
of the gravel log yard which empties into this area. All water
in the air pollution equipment and dryer area is then piped to
the upper of the two retention ponds, where it mixes with the
stormwater from the log yard, and is then discharged via the
culvert beneath the Southern Railway line.
The Region recommends that, upon determination of the proper
type of NPDES Permit or Permits needed by the facility, this
application be acted on according to current Division policy.
