Oak Valley — Pilot Mountain
Surry County
Dear Permit Holder:
On January 24, 2019, Brandon Wise, inspector with the North Carolina Department of
Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) — Division of Energy, Minerals, and Land Resources met with
you and Randy Lawless at the facility located at 175 Tree Cut Lane in Pilot Mountain, to conduct
a compliance inspection as part of the comment period for a new permit application. The
inspection consisted of review of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and each
of its components, review of the facility outfall, as well as the review of the overall site
conditions.
The compliance inspection was conducted to ensure all site practices and facilities are in working
order. The inspection was also conducted as assistance to Oak Valley Hardwoods should there
be any questions about the implementation of the permit NCG210464.
Permit:
This facility has General Stormwater Permit NCG210464 to discharge stormwater from
industrial activity associated with Lumber and Wood Products, Except Furniture [SIC 24]
under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The permit is not yet
effective as the inspection was completed as part of the comment period.
Records/Reports:
This facility is required to develop and maintain a SWPPP in accordance with Part II,
Section A of the permit. All qualitative and analytical monitoring records are required to be
maintained with the SWPPP for a minimum of five (5) years. Under this permit, analytical
monitoring is required under current operating procedures. The facility records do not include
any reports as the facility was not actively permitted prior to the inspection. The SWPPP for this
facility was very well put together and had been implemented prior to the inspection. The
facility is required to maintain employee training records in accordance with Part II, Section A,
Item 6 of the permit. Ensure that these records are added to the SWPPP when training is
completed.

Facility Site Review:
This facility operates as a saw mill and does not perform any other treating of wood on -
site. Logs brought on site are stored in the northern section of the site, with the actual mill being
located on the western edge of the site. Just east of the mill, cut wood is stored prior to being
shipped off site. The southern portion of the site is where the office and parking areas are
located, no industrial activity occurs on the southern portion of the site. At the time of the
inspection the area near the log storage had a large amount of sediment cover on top of the gravel
drive. This area should stay cleaner as keeping sediment out of stormwater is part of controlling
pollutants from the site.
A single outfall is located on the eastern edge of the northern side of the site. All mill
and stored wood stormwater converges at this outfall, which will be the sampled outfall in the
future. The stormwater from the office building and parking area converges at an outfall prior to
reaching the industrial part of the site. Should industrial activities or storing of product extend to
this part of the site sampling may be required at the southern outfall.
Effluent Receiving Waters:
Effluent from this facility drains into an un-named tributary of Flat Shoal Creek, class
"C" waters of the Yadkin Pee -Dee River Basin.
Self -Monitoring Program:
This facility is required to provide Qualitative and Analytical Monitoring twice annually.
The single outfall at the northeastern side of the property will be properly maintained and all
monitoring will be performed there.
There are no comments about any changes to the issued permit. If you have any
questions or need additional information, please contact Brandon Wise at [phone] or
[e-mail].
