All permits require qualitative monitoring to be performed during a"measurable storm event."
A"measurable storm event"is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the permitted site
outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours prior. The 72-hour storm
interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a shorter interval is representative for
local storm events during the sampling period,and the permittee obtains approval from the local DEN4LR
Regional Office.

Mr. Khan,
Please find included in this correspondence copies of supporting documentation demonstrating issues
identified during a Compliance Evaluation Inspection conducted August 23, 2022 and conveyed within
correspondence dated August 31, 2022. As requested, an updated copy of the facility SWPPP is included as
well as copies of the most recent Quarterly Qualitative Inspection forms conducted November 11, 2022. The
facility contacts have been updated and current Qualitative Inspections forms as supplied by North Carolina
have been included for use.As we anticipate a permit renewal by your department next year, Builders
FirstSource will contract with a third party to update any specifics related to the maps contained within prior to
the listed expiration of July 31, 2023. No changes have occurred at the facility since the original issuance of
the SWPPP and therefore the information contained within is accurate and represents current activities at the
facility.
It should also be noted that facility personnel are addressing suggestions made during the inspection with
respect to outfall erosion and employee training. Currently, the facility has contracted with a local aggregate
supplier to address areas of erosion by placing additional 57 size gravel and rip rap in those areas which will
build up the gravel base and act as a flow break thus reducing the potential for erosion during heavy rainfall
events.
Corporate personnel will be implementing a new Stormwater Training Module in our internal training
database which is known as Foundations and will help to ensure all employees receive annual Stormwater
Training including a basic overview of Stormwater regulations as well as those which are specific to North
Carolina. This training will be available by December 1, 2022 and the facility will conduct annual training by
December 31, 2022 as required by our corporate and regional staff.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Regulatory Background
This Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) has been prepared for the BFS
Operations, LLC ('BFS") building components assembly plant in Albemarle, Stanly
County, North Carolina. This SWPPP Plan has been developed and implemented to
satisfy the requirements of the North Carolina Department of Environment and
Natural Resources (NCDENR) -Division of Water Quality,General Permit to discharge
of Storm Water under the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (General
Permit No. NCG210000). The permit became effective on August 1, 2018 and will expire
on July 31,2023. A copy of the MSGP is included as Appendix B.
The SWPPP Plan is intended to:
• Identify potential sources of pollution which may reasonably be expected to
affect the quality of storm water discharged from the site; and
• Describe and ensure the implementation of practices which will reduce the
potential for pollutants to enter storm water discharges.
• A copy of this SWPPP must be kept on site at all times.
1.2 Purpose of the SWPPP
The purpose of the SWPPP is to evaluate potential pollution sources at the facility and
to select and implement appropriate measures to prevent or control the discharge of
pollutants in storm water runoff.
The pollution prevention approach focuses on three objectives: (1) to identify sources
of pollution potentially affecting the quality of storm water discharges associated with
industrial activity from the facility; (2) to describe and outline implementation of
practices to minimize and control pollutants in storm water discharges associated with
industrial activity from the facility; and (3) to provide a mechanism for compliance
with the terms and conditions of the General Permit.
This SWPPP is a foundation for the facility's storm water pollution prevention
program. This document will be revised if conditions and practices at the facility
change to accommodate new methods of production, storage and material transfer.
The SWPPP describes activities, materials and physical features of the Facility with
potential to contribute pollutants to storm water runoff and the procedures and
methods that are used to prevent introduction of such pollutants.

STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION
2.1 Facility Location
The Facility is located at 2100 Sterling Drive, Albemarle,Stanly County, North
Carolina. The location and the topographic, hydrologic and cultural features of the
surrounding area are shown on Figure 1, Site Location Map, which was developed
from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Albemarle NC 7.5 Minute Series
(Topographic) map. The center of the Facility is located at approximately N 80.1653; E
35.3383. The average elevation of the facility is between 570 and 580 feet NGVD.
The nearest surface water body is an unnamed tributary of Lake Tillery. The tributary
drainage is south and southwest of BFS. Lake Tillery is approximately 5.75 miles to
the southeast.
2.2 General Description of Business
The Property is a floor truss and roof truss assembly plant. On occasion,it also
fabricates wall panels. BFS receives raw materials (lumber and metal fasteners) and
ships finished truss assemblies via truck. The raw materials are assembled inside the
roof truss plant and the floor truss plant. Finished products are stacked in various
locations around the property and await pick up from customers. Minor servicing of
fork lifts occurs within the maintenance area in the southwestern corner of the roof
truss assembly building.
The facility does not store oil in excess of 1,320 gallons (thus, it is not subject to
SPCC requirements), nor does the facility store any hazardous materials in excess of
regulatory thresholds.
2.3 Physical Description and Site Plan
The Property is situated in a moderately developed commercial/industrial section of
Albemarle. Preformed Line Products, which manufactures electric power line and
telecommunication equipment,is located to the north. Property owned by Grandview
Property is located to the east and southeast and is a residential subdivision.
The Property consists of a 15.42 acre (+/-) parcel. The main features of the Property are
depicted on the Site Plan. They are summarized below:
• Main Buildin¢: The main building is a 74,400 ft2 building, which houses
administrative, sales and shipping offices, roof truss assembly operations,facility
maintenance operations and a shipping area. The warehouse area is 65,600 ft2;
2

BFSALBEMARLE,NC TR USS ASSEMBL Y PLANT
STORM WATER POLL UTION PRE VENTION PLAN
office area is 5,000 ftz and the Maintenance and Shipping area is 3,800 ft2. The
area surrounding the building is covered an asphalt apron. Crushed gravel
surfaces are present beyond the asphalt pavement to the north, east and south.
The Facility is connected to the Albemarle municipal water and sewer systems.
The facility sanitary wastewaters are the only waste streams discharging to the
municipal sewer system.
Roof truss operations contain several saw stations and truss assembly lines. The
finished assemblies exit the warehouse on the south side and are stored to the
east and secondarily at the far northwest corner of the property extending onto a
leased storage lot.
There is a large wood chipper used to chop up small pieces of waste lumber
outside the north wall of the truss assembly warehouse. The chipper is
connected to a conveyor belt that extends through the north wall from the saw
station inside of the truss assembly area. The chipper is located under a flat roof
and is on a concrete slab. There are no walls to this structure. It is subject to
weather related migration of sawdust via rain and wind.
• Floor Truss Plant Building: The floor truss plant contains saw stations and an
assembly line to assemble floor trusses. The building is an 18,000 ftz, concrete
slab-on-grade building. It is located in the southwest quadrant of the Property.
It is surrounded by crushed gravel surfaces.
• EWP Trimming ShoR: This is a three-sided,4,000 ftz building that is open to the
north side. The building houses saw stations used to trim lumber for the floor
truss plant and to trim EWP materials (Engineered Wood Products). It is in the
southeastern corner of the Property. The area around the building is unpaved.
Portions of the surface are gravel-lined.
• Open Shed Building: This 6,000 ftz open-sided,concrete-floored structure is used
to store raw materials prior to assembly operations. The building is located in the
southern central area of the Property between the main building and the floor
truss plant and the WEP Trimming Shop.
• Forklift Fueling Shed: BFS maintains a three-sided, wooden shed that contains a
500-gallon diesel fuel tank and up to three 55 gallon drums of used oil. This shed
is located in the eastern central area of the Property. The open side faces to the
west toward the main building. The diesel fuel tank rests within a concrete
secondary containment structure, and the drums are on individual spill pallets.
There is a concrete floor. The tank and drums are protected from the elements by
a roof.

BFSALBEMARLE,NC TRUSSASSEMBLYPLANT
STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
• Employee Parking Area: There is an employee parking area located on the
northwestern side of the Property at the entrance driveway to Sterling Drive.
The lot is gravel-covered with grassy areas bordering the western property line.
• On-Site Materials Storage Areas: Building materials are temporarily stored at
several locations until they go into production. Finished assemblies are
temporarily stored until they are shipped to their destination. The storage areas
are typically gravel-surfaced.
• Leased, off-site Roof Truss Assemblies Storage Area: Roof truss assemblies are
also stored on a neighboring property northwest of the employee parking lot.
This lot is also unlined and slopes toward undeveloped woodlands to the south.
• Undeveloped Perimeter Areas: There are undeveloped areas beyond the fenced-
in portions of the Property. These undeveloped grass-covered woodlands border
the active portion along the western, southern and eastern fence lines. They
generally slope away from the active areas.
2.4 Storm Water Flow
Figure 2 shows the drainage patterns at the site. The Property is relatively flat with a
slight slope from north to south over most of the Property. South of the main building,
however, there is a very slight topographic high running north-south from the middle
of the south wall of the main building (by the truss stackers) to the southern property
line beyond the floor truss plant building. West of this divide, the Property falls off to
the southwest, and to the southeast east of the divide. North of the main building, there
is a slight slope to the north-northeast.
Beginning at the main building, storm water run-off is expected to flow radially to the
southwest and the southeast across the crushed gravel driveways and storage areas.
Uncontrolled run-off would discharge into the bordering woodlands and eventually
discharge into stream drainages on the west and east sides of the Property. North of
the main building storm water run-off will flow along the crushed gravel areas to the
northeast discharging into the wooded border area east of the fence line.
There are catch basins in the crushed gravel lots in the southwestern quadrant of the
Property as well as in the northwestern lot leased from the abutting neighbor for
temporary roof truss assembly storage. These catch basins drain into the wooded areas
to the southwest.
All discharges eventually enter an unnamed tributary to Lake Tillery, which is in the
Yadkin-Pee Dee River Watershed.

STORM WATER POLLUTIONPREVENTIONPLAN
2.5 Pervious vs. Impervious Surface Areas
The northern quadrant including the Main Building and the asphalt aprons and lots
surrounding it cover approximately 50% of the developed portion of the Property. The
eastern truss assemblies yard and the southern yard containing the floor truss plant and
the EWP trimming shed cover the remaining 50% of the developed portion of the
Property. East of the unpaved eastern yard beyond the fence line is undeveloped
woodlands. A smaller woodlands is also present outside the southwestern fence line.
An estimated 65% of the Property is covered with pervious surfaces (gravel and unlined
surfaces plus the grass, shrubs and wooded areas along and outside of the fence line. The
remaining 35 % is covered with buildings or concrete and asphalt surfaces.
The leased roof truss assemblies storage yard is 100% pervious.
The Facility slopes to the south and west with an elevation change of about 10 feet
across the site.
There are three drainage subsystems on the Property. A fourth subsystem is on the
abutting leased property off-site west-northwest of the employee parking lot(see figure
3):
Subsystem 001: Northern Portion: This portion consists of the gravel-lined entrance
and driveway, the wood chipper and the storage area north of the main building and
the woodlands east of the fence line. Roof drains will contribute to the run off along the
north wall of the building. Surface flow will run to the north and east along the gravel
driveway eventually draining into the woodlands beyond the eastern fence line. Outfall
001 is located in the wooded area east of the fence line. The surface area this subsystem
is approximately 30% covered with gravel or unlined (pervious) surfaces. The surface
area of Subsystem 001 covers approximately 21% of the property.
Subsystem 002: Southeastern Portion: This subsystem consists of the southeastern
portion of the Property beginning approximately midway through the main building
along the north-south divide described above. This subsystem is east and south of the
subsystem 001. Storm water will run along the asphalt and crushed gravel lot to the
southeast eventually draining into the woodlands beyond the eastern fence line. Roof
drains will contribute to the run off along the east and south walls (eastern half) of the
main building. Roof run off from the fuel storage shed and the EWP Trimming Shop
will contribute to the surface run-off in this subsystem. Outfall 002 is in the
southeastern corner of the fence line. The surface area of Subsystem 002 covers
approximately 33% of the property.
5

BFSALBEMARLE,NC TRUSSASSEMBLYPLANT
STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
Subsystem 003:West-southwestern Portion: This portion consists of the areas
beginning west of the entrance driveway and employee parking lot in the northwestern
corner of the property. It extends southward and includes the gravel-lined lots west of
the slight topographic high south of the main building. Roof drains from the main
building will contribute to the run off along the west and south (west half)walls of the
main building. Roof runoff from the metal storage building and the floor truss building
will also contribute to the surface run-off in this subsystem. Outfall 003 is in the west-
southwest corner of the fence line. The surface area of Subsystem 003 covers
approximately 46 % of the property.
Subsystem 004: Off-Site Roof Truss Assemblies Storage Lot: This lot is a 100%
unsurfaced (pervious) area. It is located west of the employee parking lot. BFS uses it to
store roof assemblies prior to shipment to customers. The unlined lot is bordered to the
west and south by shrubs and woods. Surface runoff will either flow uncontrolled to
the wooded borders and then into the drainage basin southwest of the Property or into
a catch basin within the center of the lot. The catch basin discharges via a pipe into the
drainage basin. Outfall 004 is at the base of the catch basin. The surface area of
Subsystem 004 covers 4.2 acres.

STORM WATER POLL UTION PREVENTION PLAN
4.0 INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITIES AND POTENTIAL POLLUTANT SOURCES
Development of this SWPPP included a thorough evaluation of areas where industrial
activities occur and/or industrial materials may be exposed to storm water. The
industrial materials or activities that were evaluated, along with the specific pollutants
that may potentially be associated with each area include the following:
1. Loading and unloading operations: Unloading of trucks with incoming
lumber,metal plates and other manufacturing supplies;loading of finished
goods for delivery to customers;
2. Outdoor storage of raw materials and finished truss assemblies;
3. Solid waste collection/storage;
4. Maintenance and fueling of forklifts;
5. Manufacturing activities (interior) including the collection and disposal of
wood scraps and saw dust.
Descriptions of these areas are provided below. When industrial materials or
activities warrant, Best Management Practices (BMPs) have been implemented.
4.1 Loading and Unloading Operations/Outdoor Storage of Raw Materials and
Finished Goods
The Facility receives lumber, fasteners (nails and metal plates) and other manufacturing
supplies on site via truck. Unloading of lumber and supplies occur south of the main
building by the open-sided supplies shed. Fork lifts are used to transport these
materials to their respective storage locations in the open shed, the roof truss plant, the
floor truss plant and the engineered wood products (EWP) shed area. Finished truss
assemblies from either the floor truss or roof truss plants are transported by fork lift to
the storage areas on the east side of the main building,north of the floor truss plant or
on the leased roof truss storage lot northwest of the employee parking lot. Additionally,
EWP beams are cut to length and readied for delivery. All finished goods are loaded
onto the delivery trucks by forklifts.
Potential pollutants that could be associated with loading and unloading operations
include oil and fuel that could be released from delivery vehicles and handling
equipment (forklifts).
4.2 Manufacturing Activities
All manufacturing activities at the facility are conducted under roofed structures and
on paved surfaces. These activities include woodcutting, sawing, and truss assembly.
The principal contaminant from these activities is sawdust.
The majority of the cutting and sawing of wood that generates saw dust and wood scraps
occurs during the assembly of trusses and wall panels. These activities take place under
8

BFSALBEMARLE,NC TR USS ASSEMBL Y PLANT
STORM WATER POLL UTION PREVENTION PLAN
roofed areas in the floor truss building and in the roof truss plant building. To a
much smaller degree,wood scraps and saw dust are also generated by the cutting of
EWP beams to customer specifications in the EWP shed. Dust from these activities
drops onto the concrete floors at each building.
Dust collection occurs at the end of each of the three employee shifts each day
(Monday-Sunday) in each of the three buildings mentioned above. Workers assigned to
the dust collection tasks sweep out the dust accumulated on the saw and assembly
equipment and on the floors under this equipment using compressed air and brooms.
• All 3 shifts: Sawyers clean wood bits and sawdust 30 minutes before the end
of their shift.
• All 3 shifts: Building component assemblers clean wood bits and sawdust
15 minutes before the end of their shift.
• Day Shift: In addition, BFS employs a dedicated maintenance person who is
responsible for cleaning of the wood bits and sawdust throughout the day shift.
• Quarterly: Maintenance activities once every three months include the removal
of sawdust from the overhead rafters in each of the assembly buildings and saw
shed.
The sawdust and small cut wood bits from the assemblies operations and EWP
trimming operations are dumped into satellite 5-cubic yard dumpsters. The dumpsters
are transported into the roof truss plant where they are emptied onto a conveyor at the
north side of the roof truss plant and discharged into the wood chipper at the north side
of the plant. The wood chipper rests on a concrete slab in an open-sided structure under
a shed roof. The wood scraps and saw dust in the chipper are emptied regularly into a
trailer, which is stored at the roof truss assembly area for off-site disposal. Saw dust
piles that accumulate around the wood chipper and trailer during the conveyance of
scraps and saw dust are picked up on a daily basis and discharged into the trailer. In
addition, the area by the trailer connection to the wood chipper is cleaned following the
coupling of an empty trailer to the chipper.
4.3 On-Site Waste Management
Materials that could potentially impact storm water as a result of waste management
practices include general debris, sawdust, cardboard, paper, packing material and scrap
wood. All solid waste is collected in roll-off containers. Two larger roll-offs are used
mainly for the collection and storage of wood waste, plastic wrapping, and strapping
material. Smaller roll-offs and bins are used for the collection and storage of office
wastes and general refuse. Wastes from these roll-offs are removed at least weekly for
off-site disposal. Waste management areas are included in weekly housekeeping
inspections.
9

BFS ALBEMARLE,NC TRUSSASSEMBLYPLANT
STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
4.4 Vehicle Fueling and Maintenance
Vehicle fueling and maintenance activities could potentially result in the introduction
of diesel fuel,lubricants,coolants and other maintenance fluids to storm water.
The forklift fueling shed contains a 500-gallon diesel fuel tank and three 55 gallon
drums of used oil. The 500-gallon tank is surrounded with concrete secondary
containment. The drums are on spill pallets. The tank and drums are protected from
the elements by a roof and a spill kit is located in the area. There were signs of minor
spillage from refueling activities on the concrete shed floor.
Additionally, BFS maintains a maintenance area in the southwestern corner of the roof
truss warehouse. Small quantities of equipment maintenance chemicals are stored
inside. A 300-gallon portable tank (tote) of diesel additive fluid is stored in this area.
Fork lift maintenance activities performed by an outside contractor area conducted in
this area. The fork lift fluids are brought in and taken away by the vendor after each
maintenance visit.
Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) for hazardous substances are maintained onsite in the main
office located throughout the facility and are readily available to employees. These
MSDSs identify the physical, chemical, and toxicological properties of these substances.
4.5 Inventory of Materials Potentially Exposed to Storm Water
All manufacturing operations take place inside facility buildings. Materials that are
potentially exposed to storm water are identified below, according to drainage area.
Drainage Subsystem 001 on the northern side of the Property: Temporary storage of
lumber occurs in this area. Scrap lumber and saw dust accumulates around the wood
chipper outside the north wall of the building.
Drainage Subsystem 002 (southeastern portion) and Drainage Subsystem 003
(western and southwestern portion): Materials stored and potentially exposed to storm
water within include the following:
• Scrap Metal (to be recycled) or assembly equipment to be installed inside the
main building(temporary storage)
• Scrap Lumber/saw dust
• Dimensional Lumber
• Forklifts (left outside at times)
• Fork lift fuel and lubricant and other oils
10

BFSALBEMARLE,NC TRUSSASSEMBLYPLANT
STORM WATER POLLUTIONPREVENTION PLAN
• Finished roof truss assemblies
Drainage Subsystem 004 on the northwestern side of the Property: Temporary storage
of finished roof trusses and temporary storage of the trailers containing the wood
chipper wastes (saw dust) occurs in this area.
4.6 SARA Title III Section 313 Water Priority Chemicals
In accordance with regulatory requirements, any potential pollutant sources subject to
reporting requirements pursuant to SARA Title III Section 313 (Water Priority Chemicals)
must be identified in a facility's SWPPP. Section 313 requires that reports be filed by owners
and operators of facilities if the facility has 10 or more full time employees, the facility's
operations are included in covered SIC codes and the facility manufactures,imports,
processes or otherwise uses a Section 313 chemical in quantities greater than the regulatory
threshold in the calendar year. After a review of materials on site,the facility has no
known EPCRA Section 313 chemicals present over the threshold limits.
4.7 Historical Leaks or Spills
The SWPPP is required to identify any significant spills or leaks of toxic or hazardous
pollutants that have occurred in areas exposed to storm water or that otherwise drain
to the storm water system in the three years previous to the submission of the Notice
of Intent (NOI) to be covered by the storm water general permit. "Significant spills or
leaks" are defined by the Storm Water Regulations as a release within a 24-hour period
of a hazardous substance or oil in an amount equal to or in excess of a reportable
quantity in 40 Code of Federal Registration (CFR) 117 or 40 CFR Part 302. No record of
historical significant spills or leaks at Facility has been identified. The NCDENR has no
records of historical spills at the Property.
The Facility's ongoing inspection program is expected to prevent future spills. If,
however, any such spills occur, this SWPPP will be revised and the following
information regarding the spill will be recorded in this section:
• Date of spill;
• Materials and quantity spilled;
• Summary of spill response.
11

BFSALBEMARLE, NC TR USS ASSEMBL Y PLANT
STORM WATER POLL UTION PRE VENTION PLAN
5.0 MEASURES AND CONTROLS
The Facility has developed a preventative maintenance program for storm water
management structures and facility equipment and systems that could potentially
contribute pollutants to storm water. This section of the SWPPP describes the
pollution prevention measures, controls and best management practices (BMPs) that
will be implemented to control discharge of pollutants from the facility storm water
outfalls. BMPs, as described below, are broken down into two types:
• Non-structural BMPs (practices or activities) and
• Structural BMPs (equipment and devices).
5.1 Non-Structural BMPs
5.1.1 Vehicle-Related Preventative Maintenance
The following table lists the equipment that is included in the Facility's preventative
maintenance and good housekeeping program,along with applicable requirements:

Hose(s) and fill nozzle(s) will be inspected on a daily basis for deterioration and
leakage. Incidental spills will be contained by the use of a sorbent material kept in spill
kits at the vehicle fueling shed and in the maintenance area within the roof truss plant.
Absorbents will be applied to any oil leaks or spills associated with the use of
forklifts and/or trucks used during the handling of the finished products. The
resultant absorbent will be disposed of according to applicable regulations.
12

BFSALBEMARLE,NC TR USS ASSEMBL Y PLANT
STORM WATER POLL UTION PREVENTION PLAN
If indicated by routine inspections, appropriate repair, adjustment or replacement
of equipment will be completed as soon as practicable.
5.1.2 Spill Prevention and Response Procedures
SRill Prevention: All liquid chemical products in containers of 5-gallon capacity or less
are to be stored indoors. Absorbent materials will be used to clean up any releases
from these containers, as they occur. The used absorbent will then be containerized
and disposed of in accordance with applicable regulations. Used absorbents should be
stored in a drum inside the maintenance shop area until disposed of, at an appropriate
off-site facility. Chemical spill areas will not be hosed down.
Spill kits equipped with absorbent material are to be kept within the maintenance
shop, inside the truss plant building and in the wooden fueling station shed. Signs
providing emergency notification procedures are to be posted near each spill kit.
Storage and operations areas will be swept and cleaned as applicable based on weekly
housekeeping inspections.
Spill Response: In the event of a chemical spill, the area will be immediately isolated
and the manager on duty will be notified. If the spill is less than five gallons, the on-site
spill kit will be obtained and the designated spill response contractor will be contacted
for the chemical specific clean-up and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
advisement. Trained employees will then don the proper PPE and clean-up the spill
utilizing items in the spill kit. Storm and sewer drains will be immediately diked or
blocked as needed. When necessary, materials will be absorbed with an in-house bulk
absorbent(such as Abzorb-It). Smaller leaking containers and used absorbent materials
from the spill kits are to be placed in plastic overpack drums for future disposal. If the
spill is larger than five gallons or if the spill requires clean-up beyond the capabilities of
BFS employees the spill response contractor will be contacted and the appropriate local
agencies will be notified.
While liquid hazardous materials are not stored outdoors, oils are contained within some
outdoor mobile equipment(i.e., forklifts and delivery trucks). When oil is changed in such
equipment, it will be conducted indoors or under roof and care will be taken to minimize
spills. In the event that spills occur, absorbent will be applied as described above.
5.1.3 Good Housekeeping
The following housekeeping procedures will be followed to minimize surface water
pollution:
Saw Dust and Wood Scrap Minimization:
13

BFSALBEMARLE,NC TRUSS ASSEMBLY PLANT
STORM WATER POLL UTION PREVENTION PLAN
• Saw dust accumulation, reduction and control measures are to be implemented
inside and outside of the truss plants and the EWP trimming shed. Re-
inspections and cleanup activities will occur at each of these buildings. An on-
going goal should be the elimination of saw dust piles outside of these
structures.
• The wood chipper will be inspected for and cleaned of accumulated saw dust
and wood scraps at the end of each shift.
• Spills/drips/leaks from fluid material transfers will be immediately cleaned
with absorbent;
• Spigots or funnels are to be used to minimize leaks while transferring fluids;
• All changing of fluids is to be performed indoors or under roof out of the
weather (i.e.,fork lift maintenance);
• Catch basins and sediment chambers will be inspected weekly and cleaned of
trash and accumulated sediment as necessary.
• The vehicle fueling shed will be inspected weekly to identify the presence of
stains or any other indication of fuel releases.
• Drainage ditches will be kept clear of accumulated brush and debris, as needed.
• Scrap metal and unused equipment will be kept under a shed roof to the extent
practicable.
5.2 Structural BMPs
5.2.1 Secondary Containment for Diesel Tank and Drums
The potential for storm water to be impacted by diesel fuel and other fluids stored in
the fueling shed should be minimized through the maintenance of secondary
containment structures. The integrity of the concrete containment for the tank must be
maintained; it should be ascertained during the weekly housekeeping inspections. Any
damage to this structure threatening its ability to contain the fuel in the tank must be
repaired as quickly as feasible.
The drummed fluids stored inside the fueling shed must be kept on spill pallets under
roof and on the concrete floor. The floor should be bermed such that any accidental
release of drummed fluids onto the floor will not escape the containment structure.
14

BFSALBEMARLE,NC TRUSSASSEMBLYPLANT
STORM WATER POLL UTION PREVENTION PLAN
5.2.2 Containment Structure for Wood Chipper
The potential for storm water to be impacted by accumulated saw dust piles and/or
wood scraps need to be minimized at the wood chipper, through which large
quantities of wood scraps and dust are passed into the disposal trailer. Piles of saw
dust and scraps accumulate along the conveyor belt into the chipper and at the
juncture where the chipper blows the wastes into the trailer. Contact of these wastes
with storm water should be minimized through the maintenance of secondary
containment structures. The integrity of the containment structures should be
maintained through routine inspection and maintenance to eliminate potential contact
between the wood wastes and storm water.
5.2.3 Erosion and Sediment Controls
The potential for erosion and off-site transfer of sediment is minimal and no
erosion/sediment control BMPs have been implemented. However, BFS will monitor
this catch basin and immediate surroundings to make sure that there is no significant
sediment transfer into the catch basin during storm events.

BFSALBEMARLE,NC TR USS ASSEMBL Y PLANT
STORM WATER POLL UTION PREVENTION PLAN
6.0 IDENTIFICATION OF DISCHARGES OTHER THAN STORM WATER
Process wastewater and nonexempt,non-storm water discharges may not
be commingled with storm water discharges.
6.1 Process Wastewater
Process wastewater is not generated on site. The only wastewater generated on site is
related to domestic uses (e.g., toilets, sinks, showers). Domestic wastewater generated
within the store/warehouse building is discharged to the municipal sanitary system.
6.2 Allowable Non-Storm water Discharges
The following non-storm water discharges, termed exempt non-storm waters,
can be commingled with storm water:
• Discharges from fire fighting activities;
• Fire hydrant flushing;
• Potable waters, including water line flushing;
• Uncontaminated air conditioning or compressor condensate;
• Irrigation drainage;
• Landscape watering;
• Uncontaminated groundwater;
• Foundation or footing drains where flows are not contaminated with
process materials;
• Discharges from springs;
• Pavement wash waters where spills or leaks of toxic or hazardous
materials have not occurred and where detergents are not used.
No non-storm water discharges, other than those listed above, may be commingled
with storm water. BFS discharges the following non-storm waters, termed exempt non-
storm waters, along with their storm water:
• Air conditioning condensate: The truss plant office maintains air conditioning
equipment on the west side of the truss plant building. The uncontaminated
condensate is discharged onto the asphalt pavement outside of the building. It is
to be inspected weekly for the presence of any contamination.
• Roof Truss Plant compressor condensate: The two compressors for the roof truss plant
are maintained in the southeastern corner of the truss plant building. The condensate
is discharged directly to the paved surface outside of the building. Prior
16

BFSALBEMARLE,NC TR USS ASSEMBL Y PLANT
STORM WATER POLL UTION PRE VENTION PLAN
to discharge the condensate flows through an oil separation filter. Accumulated oil is
discharged into the waste oil tank in the diesel tank shed for off-site recycling.
• Floor Truss Plant compressor condensate: The compressor for the floor truss plant
is maintained in the rear of the building. The condensate is discharged directly to
the paved surface outside of the building. Prior to discharge the condensate flows
through an oil separation filter. Accumulated oil is discharged into the waste oil
tank in the diesel tank shed for off-site recycling.
•EWP Trim Shop compressor condensate: The compressor for the shop is
maintained in the rear of the building. The condensate is discharged directly to the
paved surface outside of the building. Prior to discharge the condensate flows
through an oil separation filter. Accumulated oil is discharged into the waste oil
tank in the diesel tank shed for off-site recycling.
The discharges from these compressors are to be inspected weekly to ensure that the oil
is collected in the filter equipment. The filter reservoir should be inspected at the same
time to make sure it has sufficient available storage capacity for the next week.
6.3 Certification of Non-Storm Water Discharges
Certification that all storm water outfalls have been tested or evaluated for the
presence of non-storm water discharges is required for the initial implementation
of the SWPPP and subsequent annual comprehensive site evaluations. The
Certification Forms are included in Appendix F.
Dry Weather Observations: Evaluations for non-storm water discharges will be
made using dry weather observations, according to the following protocol:
During dry weather, storm drain outlets will be observed during normal operating
hours when an illicit discharge, if one existed,would be expected to be visible. If flows
are visible, illicit connections are assumed to be present. All observed flows, stains,
sludges, oil films, or abnormal conditions will be noted. If such flows are found,
additional tests are required to determine the source(s). In the case where there are no
storm water inlets and all discharge is conveyed above ground, observations are made
to verify that there are no exposed outlets from floor drains, sumps, etc. Evaluations
will be started at the outlet of the drainage system if it is accessible. If not, observations
will be started at the farthest point downstream that the system is visible. If a discharge
is observed, possible sources will be determined by viewing upstream inlets and
grates. Copies of the drainage system schematics will be reviewed when available.
17

BFSALBEMARLE,NC TR USS ASSEMBL Y PLANT
STORM WATER POLL UTION PRE VENTION PLAN
7.0 INSPECTIONS
Several inspections are required in order to comply with the requirements of the MSGP.
Summary descriptions are provided below.
The SWPPP administrator will be responsible for monitoring of storm water
runoff and for conducting inspections or for ensuring that an alternate qualified
individual conducts the required inspections and/or monitoring. Only those who
have completed the Facility's storm water training may conduct inspections or
monitoring activities.
7.1 Housekeeping Inspections
Housekeeping inspections are to be performed to address those activities that are
necessary to eliminate or minimize impact to storm water from operations. These
include routine housekeeping tasks and BMPs described in Section 5.0, above. BFS
combines its weekly housekeeping inspection with its weekly facility Safety inspection.
A copy of the weekly inspection form is included in Appendix C. Completed copies of
the inspection forms are kept on file with this SWPPP.
7.2 Semi-Annual Site Compliance Evaluations
A semi-annual Site Compliance Evaluation will be performed to:
• Confirm the accuracy and description of potential pollutant sources in the
SWPPP;
• Determine the effectiveness of the SWPPP and current BMPs; and
• Assess compliance with the terms and conditions of the permit.
A member of the Safety and BMP Team will conduct the Site Compliance Evaluation. A
copy of the Inspection form is included in Appendix C. Materials and finished product
loading/unloading areas and any other potential sources of pollution will be visually
inspected for evidence of potential pollutant discharges to the storm water drainage
system. The inspections will occur according to the following schedule:
1. January-June
2. July-December
The two inspections must be separated by 60 days unless the inspection frequency is
increased to more than twice yearly.
The following steps will be conducted:
18

BFSALBEMARLE,NC TR USS ASSEMBL Y PLANT
STORM WATER POLL UTION PREVENTION PLAN
• The SWPPP will be reviewed and a list of material handling, storage, and
transfer areas covered by the plan will be altered as necessary.
• Materials and equipment in the SWPPP will be verified.
• Facility operations will be reviewed to determine if more areas should be
included in the SWPPP or if existing areas should be modified. The SWPPP will
be changed as necessary.
• Drainage pathways and other accessible areas of the drainage system will be
inspected for any evidence of the entrance of pollutants.
• Structural measures, sediment controls, and other storm water BMPs will
be observed to ensure proper operation.
• Equipment needed to implement the plan will be inspected and evaluated.
• The SWPPP will be revised within one month of evaluation, if necessary.
• The changes to the SWPPP will be implemented in a timely manner, within a
maximum of 90 days,unless special authorization is obtained from the EPA.
The storm water inspector will note on the Semi-Annual Inspection Report form
whether any BMPs require maintenance (e.g., cleaning of scrap wood or replacement of
wattles at the outfall; resealing of concrete in paint area, etc.). The storm water
inspector will, immediately after the inspection, make arrangements for BMP
maintenance and inform the Storm Water Administrator of any required BMP
maintenance.
7.3 Deadlines for Correcting BMP Deficiencies
All BMP deficiencies noted during inspections will be remedied in a timely
manner. Corrections will be made within the following time periods:
• 14 days for maintenance of BMPs: If BMPs are functioning as intended, but
simply need maintenance, such maintenance shall be completed as soon as
practicable but no longer than 2 weeks after inspection.
• 14 days for revisions to SWPPP: If, as a result of the inspection, it is noted that a
BMP is not adequately controlling pollutants as intended, or if the facility's
potential pollutant sources change, the SWPPP shall be revised within 14 days of
the inspection.
• 60 days for implementation of revised BMPs: If the SWPPP is revised, the
revisions to the SWPPP must be implemented within 60 days of the inspection.
7.4 Annual SWPPP Review
One of the two semi-annual inspections will also serve as the annual review of the
SWPPP. The annual review should include any changes to the design, operation
19

BFSALBE/YIARLE, NC TRUSSASSEMBLYPLANT
STORM WATER POLL UTION PREVENTION PLAN
maintenance or configuration of physical features that could impact storm water
quality. The annual update component of this inspection shall include:
• A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous 3 years (note
that no spills have occurred if appropriate).
• Re-certification that the storm water outfalls have been evaluated for the
presence of non-storm water discharges.
• Re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the on-site storm water BMPs.
• A review and comparison of the semi-annual outfall sampling data to
benchmark values (as applicable).
7.5 Documentation of Inspections and Annual SWPPP Review
The storm water inspector will document all storm water inspections on the BMP
inspection report forms included as Appendix C.
Weekly housekeeping inspection will be documented in the Housekeeping
Inspection Checklist include in Appendix C.
The annual review of the SWPPP will be documented and signed in a memo/form to
be kept in Appendix C.

BFS ALBEMARLE,NC TRUSSASSEMBLYPLANT
STORM WATER POLL UTION PRE VENTION PLAN
8.0 STORM WATER MONITORING
8.1 Quarterly Visual Monitoring Inspections
Storm water from each monitoring outfall will be monitored for qualitative signs of
contaminants from facility operations each quarter. Qualitative monitoring will be
performed quarterly: once in the winter (January - March), once in spring (April -
June) once in summer (July- September) and once in the fall (October- December). A
minimum of 60 days must separate monitoring dates. The qualitative monitoring must
take place during a measurable storm event. A measurable storm event is a storm event
that results in an actual discharge from the permitted site outfall(s). The previous
measurable event must be at least 72 hours prior to the event use for monitoring
purposes. The characteristics below must be documented for each of the three storm
water discharge outfalls regardless of representative outfall status:
• Color,
• Odor,
• Clarity,
• Floating Solids,
• Suspended Solids,
• Foam,
• Oil Sheen, and
• Erosion or deposition at the outfall (i.e., settled solids in a catch basin runoff)
• Other obvious indicators of storm water pollution.
If the qualitative monitoring indicates that existing BMPs are not effective at controlling
pollutant discharge into storm water, trained facility personnel shall investigate
potential causes, evaluate solutions and implements said solutions within 60 days.
A form to document this quarterly monitoring is provided in Appendix D. Note the
results are to be reviewed by the Pollution Prevention Team
If no monitoring is done, an explanation is required to be provided (i.e., no or
insufficient rainfall in a particular quarter). A copy of the inspection form for the
Quarterly Visual Monitoring Inspections is included in Appendix D. Completed and
signed forms must be kept on file with this SWPPP for five years.
8.2 Storm Water Sampling Requirements
Per the requirements of the General Permit, any facility that retains accumulations of
sawdust or wood chips or bark or mulch exposed to rainfall or storm water run on for
more than seven days will be required to monitor and report all site storm water
discharges for laboratory analysis for total suspended solids (TSS) and chemical oxygen
demand (COD). In addition, the total precipitation for the measurable storm event in
21

BFSALBEMARLE,NC TR USS ASSEMBL Y PLANT
STORM WATER POLLUTIONPREVENTIONPLAN
which the sampling occurs must be recorded using an on-site rain gauge.
A grab sample must be collected from each of the four outfalls semi-annually unless
Representative Outfall Status (ROS) has been granted by the Division of Water Quality.
If the DWQ letter has been issued, a copy of the letter must be kept on-site. There are
four outfalls to be sampled unless the facility is granted ROS status for one or more of
the outfalls.
Sampling occurs from January through June (period 1) and from July through
December (period 2) for each year. A minimum of 60 days must separate period 1 from
period 2. Discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) reflecting the results of the quarterly
monitoring must be submitted to the DWQ within 30 days of receipt of the analytical
results. The results must be submitted on the DMR forms available on the DWQ
website (http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/lr/npdes-stormwater). If no discharges have
occurred during the report period,the facility must submit a DMR indicating NO
FLOW as per NCAC T15A 0213.0506. Copies of forms are included in Appendix D.
The results must be compared to the benchmark values as follows:
Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) 120 mg/L
Total Suspended Solids (TSS) 100 mg/L
These values are guidelines that are used to determine the need to modify SWPPP
activities (BMPs, housekeeping, containment structures, management actions, etc.) in a
tiered approach. The three tiers are provided in Appendix D.
DMRs shall be signed and two copies submitted to:
