Review for Permit Renewal -- NCS000456
Culpeper of Cove City, LLC
Cove City, NC
Facility Activities and Process - SIC 2491— Wood Treatment. Untreated lumber is treated using either an inorganic
arsenical (CCA) or a copper based (copper azole) amine formula. All chemicals are kept inside containment areas and
waters accumulated used back in the process. All freshly treated lumber is kept under cover, on a RCRA Subpart W
drip pad until drippage has ceased. Facility supplied a plant overview that explains onsite activities.
Monitoring —The facility has been monitoring for TSS, Ar, Cr, Cu, BOD, COD, 0&G, TP, TKN, nitrate -nitrite and pH.
Previous permit did have tier system.
o Data from 2005 — 2017 shows multiple benchmark exceedances for TSS and Cu along with one for TP. TSS,
Ar, Cr and Cu values have been consistently higher starting in 2015.
o TSS and Cu values have been over the benchmark at essentially all events starting in 2015. The facility did
not instate monthly monitoring as required. Also no information on actions to address. Email to Josh
Adkins (7/25/2018) to ask about this.
o COD, BOD, pH, O&G and nutrient values were almost all well below the benchmark or BDL. Should be okay
to remove all of these parameters, except pH which should stay as a base for evaluation.
o Parameters remaining in the permit —TSS, Ar, Cr, Cu, and pH.
o Tier structure adjusted to have the three levels as in current permits.
o Parameter codes added to permit.
o The facility has two drainage areas that come together in a ditch and they monitor at the discharge of the
ditch. It may be useful for them to monitor the drainage areas separate to try and get a better feel for
where the main problem areas are on the site. One of the drainage areas goes through an onsite detention
pond (covered by SW permit) and it may be useful to see it's effectiveness on the parameters that are
showing concerns.
Discussions with Facility — Started with email to Jane House on 3/12/18 but found the facility was sold to Culpeper.
New contacts pointed to consultant for discussions (Tom Houston). One conference call with Tom and other
consultants (3/20/18), apparent they were confused by the fact the facility also was in the process of a state
stormwater permit renewal. Emailed information on both procedures 3/21/2018. Multiple emails from April
through July (4/3, 6/4, 7/10) to Tom, but never got any additional response. Facility did follow through and get the
state stormwater permit renewed. Emailed multiple company contacts and got new contact with the company —
Josh Adkins on 3/10/18. Got additional info requested from Josh on 7/11/18. See emails in file.
Surface Water Information - Facility drains to a UT to Core Creek in the Neuse River Basin, 27-90, a class C; Sw; NSW
stream. 2016 Assessment Report lists this segment of Core Creek as impaired due to a sever swamp
bioclassification. Impact is listed as from agriculture and Salt Wood Products waste site. Looking at DWM online
records it is confusing whether Cove City is the former Salt Wood or if World Wood is actually the former Salt Wood?
Basin plans indicate that some activities in the watershed have resulted in portions of the watershed being delisted
and no longer impaired. Activates were agricultural BMPs, etc. Note impairment in the permit.
NC National Heritage review — NHP report shows no aquatic resources within project area. Within one mile there is
one species —banded sunfish — is shown as significantly rare but the ranks are very low and it does not appear to be
an issue.
Regional Office Information - WaRO — Draft to region on July 30, 2018 by email. Region was not able to set up site
visit during time period of the notice, but approved moving forward with the renewal (email Sept 24, 2018). WaRO
will schedule a site visit to access the facility and their efforts under the permit at their earliest convenience.

Hey Bradley,
We had an inspection planned a few weeks ago. The on -site rep was expecting major storm damage, so we cancelled &
agreed to follow-up at some later date.
We have no objection to issue the permit Oct 2. We will follow-up with site visit after the owner/facility has reasonable
time to recover from flooding.

Hey Guys,
I realize that you probably have a lot of storm stuff you are dealing with right now. I just wanted to touch base again on
this one to see when you thought you might be able to get out and take a look at it. The notice time period is up on it
and we didn't get any comments from the permitee or general public. Let me know how you want to proceed. We
could go ahead and reissue and have you guys schedule a site visit as soon as you can or we can hold off until you have a
chance to go out to the site. Only thing to keep in mind about the last option is that under our rules we have to take
action on the permit within 60 days of notice. The 60 days will be October 2"d
Thanks

Josh,
We are mailing out a cover letter and draft permit for this facility today. The contact information that you have
previously given us for this facility has the information going to your attention at the Cove City address. That is where
the package will be mailed. Since I know you are in SC I wanted to make sure you got the information so I have
attached the cover letter and draft permit here also. The permit will go to public notice latter this week in the New
Bern Sun Journal. The comment period will run through Sept 2, 2018. Please let me know if you have any comments or
questions.
Our Washington Regional Office staff will be scheduling a site visit to the facility within the next month. At this point I
have directed them to you to set up the site visit. If there are staff on site that they should be working with instead,
please let me know and I will pass along the contact information.
Thanks

Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit
Permit No. NCS000456
Culpeper of Cove City
Craven County
Dear Mr. Adkins:
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. Please review the draft
carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains.
The draft permit contains the following significant changes from the facility's current permit:
1. You are required to collect analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during "measurable storm events"
as defined in Part II, Section B. This term is different from the "representative storm event" in earlier
permits.
2. Requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Plan (SPPP) have been updated in Part ll, Section A.
3. Monitoring requirements in the draft permit have changed slightly from the previous permit. Monitoring is
proposed for Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Total Arsenic (Ar), Total Chromium (Cr), Total Copper (Cu) and pH.
Values for TSS and Cu have been consistently above the benchmark values while Ar and Cr have shown higher
number over the last few years. These parameters are related to materials used in the operations at your
facility and will continue to be evaluated through regular monitoring. Monitoring reported in your renewal
application showed results for Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Oil &
Grease (O&G) and nutrients have been consistently below the benchmark values. The draft permit proposes
to remove these parameters from the permit. Comments from our regional staff or other information may
result in maintaining these parameters or adding other parameters if it is apparent that your activities in
some way have the potential to release them through stormwater runoff.
Stormwater benchmarks remain in the permit as before. Keep in mind that benchmarks are not permit
limits, but rather guidelines for implementing the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). A
benchmark exceedance is not a permit violation; however, the permittee must respond to exceedances. The
draft permit has modified the tiered response process for benchmark exceedances consistent with other
QE
North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality I Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources
512:North Salisbury Street I t6t2 Mail Service Center I Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-4612
919.7079200

permits in our program. Please become familiar with the tiered process as proper response under the tiers
may be enforceable items under your permit. Response to the tiered process may include review of onsite
conditions, installation of BMPs or requirements for more frequent monitoring.
4. Vehicle maintenance (Tables 4 & 5) monitoring parameters have been revised. Non -Polar Oil & Grease [EPA
Method 1664 (SGT-HEM)] replaces Oil & Grease/TPH. The benchmark for Non -polar Oil & Grease using this
method is 15 mg/L. This requirement appears in all individual stormwater permits; however, it only applies
to facilities that perform onsite vehicle maintenance activities. If the facility begins vehicle maintenance
during the permit cycle, the requirements shall apply. Also, pH monitoring is no longer required for
discharges only associated with vehicle maintenance activities.
The vehicle maintenance language in the permit has also been modified to clarify that these activities include
not just vehicles, but also other similar equipment maintenance activities that may be exposed to
stormwater. This has always been the Division's implementation of this requirement, but hopefully the
adjusted language is a little clearer about this process.
5. Language has been added under Part II Section D to address potential responses to qualitative monitoring
issues.
6. A new section on Special Conditions has been added in Part il, Section E to comply with federal regulations
requiring electronic submittal of discharge monitoring reports. Our electronic submittal process is not
available for use at this time, but we will continue to provide feedback on when this process will be available.
7. Civil and administrative penalty amounts have been updated to reflect current federal law in Part III, Section
A, 2(b) and (g).
8. The definition of BulkStoroge of Liquid Materials was revised in Part IV Definitions to omit the language
"located in close proximity to each other" as it applies to multiple above ground storage containers having a
combined storage of 1,320 gallons.
9. To address workload issues in the Stormwater Program we are working to have similar numbers of individual
permits for renewal over each of the next five years. In order to accomplish this some of our permit renewals
will be issued for time periods shorter than the usual five year cycle. Your permit renewal is proposed to
expire in 2021.
Please review the draft permit and submit any comments to me no later than 30 days following your receipt
of the draft. Comments maybe emailed tome at [e-mail] or mailed to my attention at
NC DEMLR, Stormwater Permitting Program, 1612 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1612. With this
notification the Division will solicit comment on this draft by publishing a notice in a local newspaper.
Following the 30 day public comment period, the Division will review comments and take appropriate action
prior to issuance of the final permit.
If you have any questions, please email me or call me at [phone].

2. Stormwater Management Strategy. The Stormwater Management Strategy shall
contain a narrative description of the materials management practices employed which
control or minimize the stormwater exposure of significant materials, including
structural and nonstructural measures. The Stormw � er Management Strategy, at a
minimum, shall incorporate the following:
(a) Feasibility Study. A review of the technicaland economic feasibility of changing
the methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure
of materials and processes to rainfall and: r n.�on flows. Wherever practical, the
permittee shall prevent exposure of'ail;storage areas, material handling operations,
and manufacturing or fueling operations. In areas where elimination of exposure is
not practical, this review shall.document'the feasibility of diverting the stormwater
etc/
run-on away from areas of.potentialE contamination.
{
(b) Secondary Containment'.Requhrements and Records. Secondary containment is
required for: bulk storage of Il`auid materials; storage in any amount of Section 313
of Title III of the Su perfundfAmendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water
priority chemicals;.:and-storage in any amount of hazardous substances, in order to
prevent leaks and°spill`s from contaminating stormwater runoff. A table or summary
of all such tanks and stored materials and their associated secondary containment
areas shall be maintained. If the secondary containment devices are connected to
stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually
activated valves or other similar devices (which shall be secured closed with a
locking mechanism). Any stormwater that accumulates in the containment area
shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam, outfall staining, visible
sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the accumulated stormwater.
Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be uncontaminated by any
material. Records documenting the individual making the observation, the
description of the accumulated stormwater, and the date and time of the release
shall be kept for a period of five (5) years. For facilities subject to a federal oil Spill
Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC), any portion of the SPCC Plan
fully compliant with the requirements of this permit may be used to demonstrate
compliance with this permit. The Division may allow exceptions to secondary
containment requirements for mobile refuelers, as with the exemption provided by
amendments to federal SPCC regulations, as long as appropriate spill containment
and/or diversionary structures or equipment is used to prevent discharge to surface
waters. Exceptions do not apply to refuelers or other mobile tankage used primarily
as bulk liquid material storage in a fixed location in place of stationary containers.
(c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management
Practices (BMPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs
Page - 4

Permit No. NCS000456 DRAFT
shall be based on the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute
significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and on data collected
through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a
written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the
selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually.
3. Spill Prevention and Response Procedures. The Spill Prevention and Response
Procedures (SPRP) shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based
on a materials inventory of the facility. Facility personnel responsible for implementing
the SPRP shall be identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and
dated by each individual acknowledging theirresponsibilities for the plan. A
responsible person shall be on -site at all times dur"mgffacility�operations that have
�-•� spa ,��
increased potential to contaminate stormwatenrunoff'tk 'roiugh spills or exposure of
materials associated with the facility operations: 'The SPRP must be site stormwater
specific. Therefore, an oil Spill Preventiow ontrol and Countermeasure plan (SPCC)
may be a component of the SPRP, but may not be sufficient to completely address the
stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The' common -elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may
be incorporated by reference into the SPRP/
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative
maintenance and good housekIe'eping program shall be developed and implemented.
The program shall address all'stormwater control systems (if applicable), stormwater
discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial
activity areas (including.material storage areas, material handling areas, disposal areas,
process areas, loading -an d unloading areas, and haul roads), all drainage features and
structures, and existing structural BMPs. The program shall establish schedules of
inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping activities of stormwater control systems,
as well as facility equipment, facility areas, and facility systems that present a potential
for stormwater exposure or stormwater pollution where not already addressed under
another element of the SPPP. Inspection of material handling areas and regular
cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program. Timely
compliance with the established schedules for inspections, maintenance, and
housekeeping shall be recorded and maintained in the SPPP.
5. Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur
as part of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a
minimum on a semi-annual schedule, once during the first half of the year (January to
June), and once during the second half (July to December), with at least 60 days
separating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently than semi-annually).
These facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the stormwater
discharge characteristic monitoring at the outfalls required in Part Ii B, C, and D of this
permit.
6. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill
response and cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's
operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. The facility

Monitoring Report (DMR) form, available from the Stormwater Permitting
Program's website (See: https://deg.nc.gov/about/divisions/energy-mineral-land-
resouirces/nodes-stormwater-individual).
The Director may notify the permittee when the SPPP does not meet one or more of the
minimum requirements of the permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee
shall submit a time schedule to the Director for modifying the SPPP to meet minimum
requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with
Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3) to the Director that the changes
have been made.

Permit No. NCS000456 DRAFT
SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1.
All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at each
stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with
industrial activity must be sampled (See Definitions).
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
P. '1s
interval is representative for local storm events during the`sa.mpling period, and the permittee
obtains atmroval from the local DEMLR Reeional Eneineer See Definitions.
The permittee shall compare monitoring resultgEto the benchmark values in Table 1.
I/ �
Exceedances of benchmark values require the,permittee to increase monitoring, increase
management actions, increase record keeping;"and/o'r�install stormwater Best Management
Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. See below,the�descriptions of Tier One, Tier Two, and
Tier Three response actions below. In the event that the Division releases the permittee from
continued monthly monitoring andvi-eportingrunder Tier Two or Tier Three, the Division's
release letter may remain in,effechhrough subsequent reissuance of this permit, unless the
release letter provides for other conditions or duration.
The benchmark values in"Table 1 re not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for
jk
implementation of the p4ermittee's SPPP. An exceedance of a stormwater benchmark value
is not a permit violation;; however, failure to respond to the exceedance as outlined in this
permit is a violation of permit conditions.
Please note that the parameters in the last two rows in Table 1 (non -polar oil and grease
and new motor oil usage) are only required for outfalls that discharge runoff from vehicle
or equipment maintenance areas in which more than 55 gallons of new motor oil and/or
hydraulic oil per month is used when averaged over the calendar year.

1 Maintain semi-annual monitoring until either another permit is issued for this facility or until this
permit is revoked or rescinded. The permittee must submit an application for renewal of coverage
before the submittal deadline (180 days before expiration) to be considered for renewed coverage
under the permit. The permittee must continue analytical monitoring throughout the permit
renewal process, even if a renewal permit is not issued until after expiration of this permit.
2 If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report
indicating "No Flow" or "No Discharge" within 30 days of the end of the sampling period.
3 Monitoring periods remain consistent through the permit term and through the renewal process.
Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring
monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period. "No discharge" from an
outfall during a monitoring period does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is
properly recorded and reported.

If: The valid sampling results required'
for the permit monitoring periods exceed the benchmark value, or
are outside the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at any specific outfall on four occasions, the
permittee shall notify the DEMLR Regional Engineer in writing within 30 days of receipt of the fourth
analytical results;
Then: The Division may but is not limited to:
• require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring and reporting frequency for
some or all of the parameters herein;
• require sampling of additional or substitute parameters;
• require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls;
• require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures;
• require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize impacts on
receiving waters; or
• require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion;
• require the permittee to continue Tier Three obligations through the permit renewal process.

This site discharges to impaired waters experiencing problems with benthos community. If
a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is approved for this segment of Core Creek, the
permittee may be required to monitor for the pollutants of concern in the future and
submit results to the Division. The Division will consider the monitoring results in
determining whether additional BMPs are needed to control the pollutants of concern to
the maximum extent practicable.
If additional BMPs are needed to achieve the required level of control, the permittee will be
required to (1) develop a strategy for implementing appropriate BMPs, and (2) submit a
timetable for incorporation of those BMPs into the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENES�v
The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and identifrnew potential sources of stormwater
pollution. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater g1utfalls must be performed during a
1
measurable storm event.
Qualitative monitoring requir�es�awisual :inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of
representative outfall status. QuMit`.at ve°monitoring shall be performed semi-annually
during required analytical monitoring events (unless the permittee is required to perform
further qualitative monitoring pereth"e Qualitative Monitoring Response, below). Inability
to monitor because of adverse w ather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and
recorded on the Qualitati�onitoring Report form (see Adverse Weather in Definitions).
Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must be monitored
(See Definitions).
In the event an atypical condition is noted at a stormwater discharge outfall, the permittee
shall document the suspected cause of the condition and any actions taken in response to
the discovery. This documentation will be maintained with the SPPP.

Qualitative Monitoring Res onse
Qualitative monitoring is for 'the` -purposes' of evaluating SPPP effectiveness, identifying new
potential sources of stormwater pollution and prompting the permittee's response to pollution. If
the permittee repeatedly fails ib-respond effectively to correct problems identified by qualitative
AV
monitoring, or if the discharge causes"or contributes to a water quality standard violation, the
Division may but is not limited to:�
• require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring frequency for some
or all parameters(' nalytical or qualitative)
• require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls;
require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures;
require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize
impacts on receiving waters; or
require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion.
SECTION D: SPECIAL CONDITIONS

Subject: RE: [External] Cove City SW Permit Renewal Permit# NCS000456
' Re ort am.
Mr. Bennett,
I have only been working with Cove City since the beginning of 2018, when Culpeper purchased the facility. I did work
for Cox prior to the purchase but just not directly with this facility because I was assigned to the South Carolina facilities.
If you have contact information for Jane House (Cox/Koppers EHS) she may be able to explain more about what
happened at Cove City prior to this year. My understanding from talking to her earlier this year is that the Cove City or
the Ramseur facilities never received the 2014-present SW permits from the state. As far as what we (Culpeper) are
doing now to resolve the exceeded benchmark samples, we are in the process of working on surfacing a major part of
the yard with asphalt, which should help with TSS as well as better house keeping practices which should help Cu. The
Cove City facility is also under new management as of a few months ago and he is very familiar with this facility as well
as the environmental aspects of this particular facility due to managing it some years ago.

Subject: RE: [External] Cove City SW Permit Renewal Permit# NCS000456
Josh,
First of all, the information you submitted is what we need if you want to put together similar info for your other facility.
I have been looking through the information and working on a draft for the Cove City facility. From the data review TSS
and Cu have been consistently over the benchmark for the last few years. Has the facility taken any actions under the
tier response process in the permit to try and address these issues? Over the same period the values for Arsenic and
Chromium seem to have also gone up (though not over the benchmark). Have there been any changes that could
account for this? One other note, under the permit when you exceed benchmarks two consecutive times you should
have moved into monthly monitoring to assess the issues and make adjustments. It doesn't appear that this was done
unless all the monitoring data wasn't submitted.
Thanks again for your help in getting this renewal on track.

give you some time to see if all of the information that I sent to you for Cove City is what you are looking for before I
send in anything for the Ramseur facility.

I will look through the information and get back with you if there are any questions. It may be helpful to have a

CULPEPER OF COVE CITY, LLC
Craven County
Permit#NCS000456

CULPEPER OF COVE CITY, LLC
CRAVEN COUNTY
PERMIT # NCS000456
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES
There have been no significant changes to our process or chemicals over the years with one exception.
Historically this facility operated both treatment areas using an inorganic arsenical wood preservative. One
treatment area has been converted to a non -arsenical copper -based preservative for residential use.
BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
The purpose of the SWPPP is to identify potential sources of pollution or contamination that originate at this
facility, and to select and implement actions which prevent or minimize the release of pollutants into the storm
water. The storm water management controls included in the SWPPP focus on providing adequate control of
pollutant discharges with practical approaches that utilize readily available techniques, expertise, material and
equipment.
The SWPPP is intended to be a flexible, active operations plan to allow incorporation of changes and
management practices. As the plan is implemented and methods to improve the plan are found, or as
regulations change, revisions to the plan must be made. Revisions to the plan must be approved by
management and recorded in all copies of the plan in order to meet the requirements of the storm water permit.
This is a wood preservation facility. Untreated lumber is brought on site for treatment using either an inorganic
arsenical (CCA) or a copper based (copper azole) amine formula. All chemicals used in the treatment process
are kept inside containment areas. Waters accumulated inside these containment areas are used back in the
process. All freshly treated lumber is kept under cover, on a RCRA Subpart W drip pad until drippage has
ceased. There are several storage sheds where we store as much of the treated lumber as possible. Any
remaining lumber is kept on the yard until sold.
Forklifts and other vehicles are regularly inspected and maintained by the maintenance department. All
maintenance work is done under cover. Any oil or chemicals used at the maintenance department are kept
inside the maintenance building or under cover. All bulk oil tanks have secondary containment and is roofed,
along with drip pans under the nozzles. A diesel unloading containment area has been installed by the diesel
tanks. Any water accumulated within this unloading containment is either pumped out, reused in our wood
treatment process, or if contaminated with oil, is shipped for recycling.
At this time, based upon a review of our current procedures for reducing or eliminating exposure of materials to
storm water, we have determined that it is not economically feasible to modify our program. We have our
maintenance area inside a building, all oil tanks in secondary containment, all chemicals in secondary
containment or under cover and numerous sheds to store lumber in. The lumber stored outdoors is dry, stacked
to minimize exposure and inventory controlled to reduce potential exposure to a rain event. Housekeeping
procedures are in place to regularly remove debris in the yard and inspect around our maintenance and treating
plant for chemical contamination.

The results of a site assessment indicate that controls are either in place or need to be added to minimize
contaminant releases to storm water runoff. Housekeeping is one area that can be readily controlled to limit the
discharge of wood debris and minimize the generation of dust.
Best Management Practices (BMPs) as well as other controls are used to reduce potential contaminant
releases. Some of our controls are as simple as ensuring that we maintain vegetation, such as grass on slopes
to prevent soil erosion and keeping outfall areas clean and free of debris.

All chemical bulk storage tanks are within secondary containment. None of our secondary containment
structures have any type of drainage system. Only personnel placing a pump into the diesel containment area
can remove liquid. This method prevents any release of oil from our containment system due to rain. Our
chemical storage containment areas that are not located inside a building have automatic pumps that will pick
up liquid and place it into a bulk storage tank located within a containment area. This liquid is then used in our
treating processes.
Most hose as well as the trailer connection section is inside a containment area. If any tank or hose
connections would have to be outside the contained area due to an unusual circumstance, each connection
would have a bucket underneath to catch drips and minor leaks. A qualified employee with access to the proper
safety equipment approves the hook up to our tank prior to unloading and monitors the loading and unloading
process.
All non -bulk containers, such as drums, are stored either indoors or within a contained area.
Finished lumber products are stored under sheds or in the yard until shipment. The lumber trucks are loaded
over asphalt or gravel areas. Prior to storing any treated lumber outdoors, verification that there is no drippage
has been documented.
The drip pads are under roof and bermedlsloped to prevent any release. Any liquid generated from drippage or
a rain event flows to a sump and then is automatically picked up and place into an effluent tank. Visual, as well
as some documented Inspections are regularly performed on the drip pad and maintenance, such as sealing or
cracks and coating replacement, is performed as needed.
All cutting of lumber is currently performed outdoors. Since this is a wood preservation facility and not a planer
or sawmill, very little sawdust is generated due to the cutting of lumber. Typically, the total amount generated
during a cutting would be a pile less than 2' by 2'. Frequency of cutting is one or two times weekly. This
operation is pre -scheduled so cutting is not performed during a rain event and the sawdust and debris is picked
up from the Holtech Saw immediately and placed in containers. There is also a small saw operation used once
or twice weekly to cut a few pieces of lumber. The pile generated is generally less than 1' by 1' on a concrete
pad. The sawdust is disposed of as a non -hazardous waste.
Various types of equipment associated with this wood preserving facility include but are not limited to pressure
retorts, mechanical pumps, fueling trucks, maintenance equipment, freight transfer vehicles, construction
equipment and forklifts.
Trucks, trailers, and forklifts are cleaned in an enclosed, roofed area designed for this purpose. The water is
reclaimed through an oil water separator.
It is recognized that maintenance of vehicles can be a significant source of storm water pollutants. Materials
associated with vehicle maintenance include waste oil, solvents and other degreasers, brake fluid, anti freeze,
battery acids, radiator flush, and sludge. The following vehicle maintenance practices are utilized:
- Maintenance is completed in an enclosed area protected from runoff and precipitation whenever
possible. If maintenance has to be performed outside of the enclosed area, all possible means are
used to prevent spillage and approved cleaning methods (oil dry, etc) are used if any spillage
occurs.
- All used products are properly stored until they are sent for recycling or disposal.
- Batteries, used tires, and used solvents are collected and recycled through the appropriate vendors
(Typically batteries are recycled immediately, so there is minimal to no storage).

A feasibility review to determine if there is a way to modify or change our operating procedures or install controls
to further reduce chemical exposure indicates the following:
o Non -bulk chemical containment — All non -bulk chemicals are currently stored in secondary containment
areas or under roof.
o Chemical unloading— Chemical unloading is performed under roof or in containment areas that will
allow the end of the trailer to be placed within this containment, Most hose connections at the tanks for
bulk loading or unloading are inside the bulk storage containment area. Any tank or hose connections
outside the contained area would have buckets underneath to catch drips and minor leaks. A qualified
employee with access to the proper safety equipment approves the hook up to our tank prior to
unloading and monitors the loading and unloading process.
o Chemical containment —All chemicals are currently stored in secondary containment systems that
cannot release without manual pumping.
o Particulate containment— Generation of sawdust is currently performed outdoors. Since these
procedures are used infrequently and can be pre -scheduled to ensure we do not release particulates
during a rain event, at this time there is no need to change our procedures or modify the location.
Sometime in the future, if there is an increase in the cutting of lumber, then moving or enclosing the saw
areas will be addressed.
a Diesel storage — The diesel tanks used to fuel lifts and tractors are located within a secondary
containment system that cannot release without manual pumping. Filling the tank and fueling
procedures are performed just outside the containment area. Current procedures and training are in
place to prevent a release on the ground as well as emergency equipment availability at the diesel area
to handle a release immediately to prevent rain event contamination. At some point in the future, we will
look at changing the diesel storage area to prevent rain from accumulating inside the containment area.
o Treated wood storage — Treated lumber is typically stored outdoors. Prior to placing the treated lumber
outdoors, the material is documented that all drippage has ceased. This procedure should ensure that
there is minimal release of chemicals during a rain event from the treated lumber. The lumber is also
not placed directly on the ground, but stored 2-6" above to prevent contact.
To ensure that the BMPs and other controls are in use and working, employees are taught about controls in use
and periodic inspections are performed.
The measures currently in use or to be implemented at our facility to control contaminant releases are found
under section 4.a.

RE: Cove City Wood Preserving; NCS000456
Dear Bradley Bennett:
NCNHDE-5557
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide information
about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
A query of the NCNHP database, based on the project area mapped with your request, indicates that there are
no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, or conservation/managed areas
within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there may be no documentation of natural
heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have
been surveyed. The results of this query should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists.
In the event that rare species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may
update our records.
The attached 'Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that have been
documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these records suggests that
these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area if suitable habitat exists and is
included for reference. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed area within a one -mile radius of the
project area, if any, are also included in this report.
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation planning, project
review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria for regulatory decisions.
Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published without prior written notification to the
NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP
data may not be redistributed without permission.
The NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a Dedicated Nature
Preserve (DNP), Registered Heritage Area (RHA), Clean Water Management Trust Fund (CWMTF) easement,
or Federally -listed species are documented near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance, please

trash).
Loading/Unloading — There are several locations where loading/unloading are performed. In the yard untreated lumber is unloaded and trailers are
then reloaded with treated lumber. These areas have minimal potential for pollution since the lumber is packaged and strapped for loading. Bulk diesel,
while unloading, is in a concreted containment area. The hose connection to the tank is inside the diesel containment area. Bulk wood preservative is
unloaded either in an outdoor concreted containment are or under roof inside the drip pad. No tank truck is allowed to hook up without management
approval and a tank level check. The driver must remain at the truck during unloading.
Operations — At treatment location, the lumber is treated while under roof. Once the lumber is removed from the cylinder, it is placed on a drip pad,
which is contained and the concrete sealed, until drippage has ceased. Lumber may then be stored under shed or in the yard. Any water from a rain
event that is captured on the drip pad is picked up and reused in that operation. All chemical bulk storage is located within containment. Any
accumulation of water from a rain event into the containment area is picked up and reused in that operation.
Outdoor Process — Only twp processes are performed outdoors, cutting of lumber and loading/unloading/movement of treated and untreated lumber.
Outdoor Storage -- Some treated lumber is stored outdoors until used or sold. In 2006, four new sheds were built to stare untreated lumber as well as
heavy retention treated lumber that previously was stored outdoors.
Particulate Generating — Generation of sawdust is currently performed outdoors. Since this is a wood preservation facility and not a planer or sawmill,
very little sawdust is generated due to the cutting of lumber. Typically the total amount generated during a cutting would be a pile less than 2' by 2'.
Frequency of cutting is one or two times weekly. This operation is pre -scheduled so cutting is not performed during a rain event and the sawdust and
debris is picked up from the Holtech Saw immediately and placed in containers. There is also a small saw operation used once or twice weekly to cut a
few pieces of lumber. The pile generated is generally less than 1' by 1' on a concrete pad. The sawdust is disposed of as a non -hazardous waste.
Waste Disposal —
• Treating Plant — Waste generated is drummed, stored under roof and disposed of as a hazardous waste. All liquid is reused in the process
• Maint. Shop — Used oil generated is stored in 55 gallon drums until recycled. The drums are kept indoors or under shed.
• Yard Debris — Any broken pieces of lumber or general trash found in the yard is placed into the trash container and disposed of as a non-
hazardous waste
» Diesel Storage — The diesel tanks are inside containment. Rainwater cannot be released without manual pumping of the containment.
SWPPP 2009 Page 7 of 20

4. MEASURES AND CONTROLS
• The results of a site assessment indicate that controls are either in place or need to be added to minimize contaminant
releases to storm water run off. Housekeeping is one area that can be readily controlled to limit the discharge of wood
debris and minimize the generation of dust.
Best Management Practices (BMPs) as well as other controls are used to reduce potential contaminant releases. Some
of our controls are as simple as ensuring that we maintain vegetation, such as grass on slopes to prevent soil erosion and
keeping outfall areas clean and free of debris.
All chemical bulk storage tanks are within secondary containment. None of our secondary containment structures have
any type of drainage system. Only personnel placing a pump into the diesel containment area can remove liquid. This
method prevents any release of oil from our containment system due to rain. Our chemical storage containment areas
that are not located inside a building have automatic pumps that will pick up liquid and place it into a bulk storage tank
located within a containment area. This liquid is then used in our treating processes.
Most hose as well as the trailer connection section is inside a containment area. If any tank or hose connections would
have to be outside the contained area due to an unusual circumstance, each connection would have a bucket underneath
to catch drips and minor leaks. A qualified employee with access to the proper safety equipment approves the hook up to
our tank prior to unloading and monitors the loading and unloading process.
All non -bulk containers, such as drums, are stored either indoors or within a contained area.
Finished lumber products are stored under sheds or in the yard until shipment. The lumber trucks are loaded over asphalt
or gravel areas. Prior to storing any treated lumber outdoors, verification that there is no drippage has been documented
(Ask to see drippage reports). Note: In 2006 four new sheds were added for storage of untreated lumber as well as
heavy retention treated lumber that was previously stored outdoors.
The drip pads are under roof and bermedlsloped to prevent any release. Any liquid generated from drippage or a rain
event flows to a sump and then is automatically picked up and place into an effluent tank. Visual, as well as some
documented Inspections are regularly performed on the drip pad and maintenance, such as sealing or cracks and coating
replacement, is performed as needed. (Ask to see any documented inspection reports).
All cutting of lumber is currently performed outdoors. Since this is a wood preservation facility and not a planer or sawmill,
very little sawdust is generated due to the cutting of lumber. Typically the total amount generated during a cutting would
be a pile less than 2' by 2'. Frequency of cutting is one or two times weekly. This operation is pre -scheduled so cutting is
not performed during a rain event and the sawdust and debri is picked up from the Holtech Saw immediately and placed
in containers. There is also a small saw operation used once or twice weekly to cut a few pieces of lumber. The pile
generated is generally less than 1' by 1' on a concrete pad. The sawdust is disposed of as a non -hazardous waste.
Various types of equipment associated with this wood preserving facility include but are not limited to pressure retorts,
mechanical pumps, fueling trucks, maintenance equipment, freight transfer vehicles, construction equipment and fork lifts.
Trucks, trailers, and forklifts are cleaned in an enclosed, roofed area designed for this purpose. The water is reclaimed
through an oil water separator.
It is recognized that maintenance of vehicles can be a significant source of storm water pollutants. Materials associated
with vehicle maintenance include waste oil, solvents and other degreasers, brake fluid, anti freeze, battery acids, radiator
flush, and sludge. The following vehicle maintenance practices are utilized:
- Maintenance is completed in an enclosed area protected from runoff and precipitation whenever possible. If
maintenance has to be performed outside of the enclosed area, all possible means are used to prevent
spillage and approved cleaning methods (oil dry, etc) are used if any spillage occurs.
- All used products are properly stored until they are sent for recycling or disposal.
. - Batteries, used tired, and used solvents are collected and recycled through the appropriate vendors
(Typically batteries are recycled immediately, so there is minimal to no storage).
SWPPP 2009 Page 10 of 20

A feasibility review to determine if there is a way to modify or change our operating procedures or install controls to further
reduce chemical exposure indicates the following:
o Non -bulk chemical containment — All non -bulk chemicals are currently stored in secondary containment areas or
under roof.
o Chemical unloading — Chemical unloading is performed under roof or in containment areas that will allow the end
of the trailer to be placed within this containment. Most hose connections at the tanks for bulk loading or
unloading are inside the bulk storage containment area. Any tank or hose connections outside the contained area
would have buckets underneath to catch drips and minor leaks. A qualified employee with access to the proper
safety equipment approves the hook up to our tank prior to unloading and monitors the loading and unloading
process.
o Chemical containment — All chemicals are currently stored in secondary containment systems that cannot release
without manual pumping.
o Particulate containment -- Generation of sawdust is currently performed outdoors. Since these procedures are
used infrequently and can be pre -scheduled to ensure we do not release particulates during a rain event, at this
time there is no need to change our procedures or modify the location. Sometime in the future, if there is an
increase in the cutting of lumber, then moving or enclosing the saw areas will be addressed.
o Diesel storage — The diesel tanks used to fuel lifts and tractors are located within a secondary containment
system that cannot release without manual pumping. Filling the tank and fueling procedures are performed just
outside the containment area. Current procedures and training are in place to prevent a release on the ground as
well as emergency equipment availability at the diesel area to handle a release immediately to prevent rain event
contamination. At some point in the future, we will look at changing the diesel storage area to prevent rain from
accumulating inside the containment area.
o Treated wood storage — Treated lumber is typically stored outdoors. Prior to placing the treated lumber outdoors,
the material is documented that all drippage has ceased. This procedure should ensure that there is minimal
release of chemicals during a rain event from the treated lumber. The lumber is also not placed directly on the
ground, but stored 2-6" above to prevent contact.
•To ensure that the BMPs. and other controls are in use and working, employees are taught about controls in use and
periodic inspections are performed.
The measures currently in use or to be implemented at our facility to control contaminant releases are found under section

5. SPILL PREVENTION AND RESPONSE PROCEDURES
Spill prevention is key to preventing releases. Process controls are in place to minimize the potential for a release and
.employees are trained on these process controls. All chemical storage tanks are located inside containment areas. The
containment areas cannot release any minor spills or drips unless liquid is manually pumped out.
Facility personnel responsible for implementing the Spill Prevention and Response Procedures are as follows:
o Tim Brown — Facility Manager
0 Francis Crouell — Treating Plant Sup.
o Kirk Dail - Maintenance
0 John Crouell — Yard Supervisor
o Oliver Humphries — Treating Plant Op.
0
0
The above personnel perform visual and documented inspections of the facility's operational areas to ensure there has
been no damage to containment, equipment or releases due to chemical handling. At a minimum, one of these personnel
will be on site during operations.
Process controls in place to prevent a release are as follows:
0 Daily visual inspections by above personnel and others to ensure there has been no accidental releases
0 Daily visual inspections of equipment by above personnel and others to ensure there are no leaks
0 Weekly documented inspections of equipment and containment areas to ensure there have been no releases or
equipment leaks (Ask to see documented inspections)
o Chemicals are handled and stored on concreted, contained, and roofed areas
o Preventative maintenance program on forklifts, equipment, and containment to discover and repair leaks,
damage, or other issues that might cause a release
All personnel involved with the handling of hazardous chemicals or waste are trained under 40 CFR 265.16 and 29 CFR
1910.1200. Any large releases will be handled by an outside firm.
Whe facility drainage system and detention pond, installed and operational in 2005 will allow this facility to potentially
capture any chemical releases during a rain event within the pond. Materials that can be used for absorbing or damming

Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. Please review the draft
very carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains.
The draft permit contains the following significant changes from this facility's current permit:
Analytical monitoring changes;
1. Analytical monitoring parameters, COD, TSS, Oil and Grease, pH, Copper, Chromium, Arsenic, Total
Nitrogen, and Total Phosphorus, have been maintained in the renewed permit. The parameters were
maintained because they are potential pollutions for the site. BOD5 has been added to the permit as a
potential pollutant.
2. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as defined in
Part II Section B. The permittee must also document the total precipitation for each event. If no discharge
occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating "No Flow"
within 30-days of the end of the six-month sampling period. Additionally, samples must be taken a
minimum of 60 days apart, as specified in Table 2.
3. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring have been added to this draft permit. Exceedances of benchmark
values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record
keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. If the
sampling results are'above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at
any outfall then the facility shall follow the Tier 1 guidelines which require a facility, inspection within
two. weeks and implementation of a mitigation plan within two months. If during the term of this permit,
the sampling results are above the benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific
parameter at a specific discharge outfali two times in a row (consecutive), then the facility shall follow the
Tier 2guidelines which require a repetition of the steps listed for Tier 1 and also immediately institute
monthly monitoring for all parameters at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark
value for two consecutive samples.
4. You are required to collect all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during representative
storm events as defined in Part II Section B. Qualitative monitoring is required regardless of
representative outfall status.
5. You are responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote 1 of Tables 1, 4, .
and 5.

6. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall
parameter is in this permit, however.)
7. Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with analytical
and qualitative monitoring. This requirement appears in aII Individual Stormwater permits, however it
only applies to facilities that do vehicle maintenance. If the facility begins vehicle maintenance during the
permitted timeframe then the requirements shall apply.
Other permit changes:
1. AdditionaI guidance is provided about the Site Plan requirements. The site map must now identify if the
receiving stream is impaired and if it has a TMDL established. It must also describe potential pollutants
in each outfall. The map requirements are stated more explicitly. And, the site plan must contain a list of
significant spills that have occurred in the past three years and also must certify that the outfalls have
been inspected to ensure that they do not contain non-stormwater. discharges. Additional information is
provided in Part II Section A.
2. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Management Plan have been specified in Part 1I Section A.
More details regarding secondary containment are provided.
3. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been specified in Part II
Section A. The plan must also be updated annually to include a list of significant spills and to certify that
the outfalls do not contain non-stormwater discharges..
4. The.facility must now implement a semi-annual Facility Inspection Program of the site's stormwater
management controls as specified in Part II Section A.
5. Information regarding the No Exposure Exclusion has been added to this draft permit. If industrial
materials and activities are not exposed to precipitation or.runoff as described in 40 CFR §122.26(g), the
facility may qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES stormwater discharge permit
requirements. Additional information is provided in Part I Section A.
6. Per the requirements of the Neuse Riparian Buffer Rule, all stormwater drainage from portions of
this site that have been constructed after July 22,1997 must be discharged through a correctly
designed level spreader or another device that meets diffuse flow requirements per 15A NCAC 2B
.0233. Diffuse flow requirements are described in Chapter 8 of the North Carolina Stormwater BMP
Manual, available at: hM://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/bmp_forms.htm.
Please submit any comments to me no later than thirty (30). days following your receipt of the draft.
Comments should be sent to the address listed at the bottom of this page. If no adverse comments are
received from the public or from you, this permit will likely be issued in about two months.
If you have any questions or comments concerning this draft permit, contact me at [phone] or

Description of Onsite Activities:
This is a wood preserving company. Untreated lumber is brought on site for treatment using either an
inorganic arsenical (CCA) or a copper based (copper azole) amine formula. All chemicals used in the
treatment process are,kept inside containment areas. Waters'accumulated inside these containment areas are
used back in the process. All freshly treated lumber is kept under cover on a RCRA Subpart W drip pad
until drippage has ceased. There are a few storage sheds where the lumber is stored as much as possible.
Any remaining lumber is kept in the yard until sold.

Central Office Review Summary:
1. Owner's Other Permits: none
2. General Observations: The facility receives lumber by truck and stores it on -site in open -sided sheds. Lumber is grouped in
bundles and placed into either of two retorts — long cylindrical'pressure vessels. Pesticide chemicals are drawn from on site
bulk storage tanks and are sprayed onto the lumber in the retort. The pesticide -impregnated lumber is pulled from the retort and
stored under roof and allowed to drip-dry. When the drip-dry step is complete the treated lumber is moved to outside storage.
The finished product is loaded onto trucks for delivery to the purchaser.
3. Impairment: Core Creek (27-90b) is on the 303(d) list for impaired biological integrity. Basinwide Plan states
that Core Creek 27-90a2 has potential stressors: Habitat Degradation, Nutrient Impacts, and Toxic Impacts.
Core Creek Watershed [AU# 27-90al, 27-90a2 & 27790b]
Previously, Core Creek [AU# 27-90b] from Grape Creek to Neuse River was added to the 1998 303(d) list of
impaired waters for impaired biological integrity.
A TMDL stressor survey was completed on the Core Creek watershed. Agricultural practices dominated the land
use in this watershed. Most of the residential. development is located in the Cove City area. There was evidence
of previous high flow events and streambank erosion at several stations throughout this watershed. Low DO
levels and high conductivity reading were.observed at several locations as well. Nutrient -samples were collected
at sites where periphyton was observed on the surface of rocks. Nutrient values were present in high amounts
indicating enrichment possibly from fertilizers used on the agricultural fields in the area. Sediment pesticides and
organics were assessed at one station. Several chlorinated and organophosphate pesticides and semi -volatile
organics were identified. These pesticides and organics were related to fish kills in the Core Creek area on April
23, 2003 and May 3, 2003 (see information below). The numerous agricultural fields located in the watershed
contribute to significant sedimentation of Core Creek due to nonpoint source runoff after rainfall events.
Additionally, nutrient inputs from farmland"and a few animal operations probably contribute to nutrient
enrichment and subsequent biological impacts or impairment.
2002 Recommendations: DWQ will continue to monitor Core Creek to evaluate impacts from nonpoint sources
in the watershed. As part of the 303(d) list approach, DWQ will begin the process of identifying problem
parameters that may be causing biological impairment in Core Creek. Because of the presence of significant
natural areas, important fisheries habitat and the noted water quality impairment, Core Creek is a NCWRP
targeted local watershed.
Core Creek [AU# 27-90a2; C; Sw; NSW] from upstream crossing of SRI239 to Grape Creek (3.0 miles) is
impaired for aquatic life due to a severe swamp bioclassification at site JB114. This site was assessed for the first
time using swamp stream criteria. This site is —1 miles below site JB 137. There is the Salt Wood Products waste
site between the two sites. The stream at this site was channelized, had no riparian zone, eroding stream banks
and the only instream macroinvertebrate habitat were undercut banks. The benthic community was similar to the
upstream site, however the habitat was severely degraded which resulted in an overall severe/impaired rating.
This segment will be added to the 2008 303(d) impaired waters list for impaired biological integrity. The most
likely stressors to this system are lack of flow, which is normal for streams in this geographic region, lack of
adequate macroinvertebrate habitat due to channelization (hydromodification) and periodic toxic inputs from
agricultural activities and the Salt Wood Product site.
Recommendations: DWQ recommends continued implementation of agricultural BMPs in this watershed to
continue the effort in reducing sedimentation and nutrient loading to the Neuse River Estuary.
r
4. Threatened and Endangered: Based on the Natural Heritage Virtual Workroom there are no Federally protected
species within a 2 mile radius of the site.
5. Location: C; Sw; NSW
6. Industrial Changes since Previous Permit: There have been no significant changes in over the years with one
Page 4 of 9

exception. The facility used inorganic arsenical wood preservative at both treatment areas and now one has been
converted to a non -arsenical copper based preservative for residential use.
7. Akajytical Monitoring Notes: Analytical data was taken sic times from February 05 to September 08. One
required sample is missing. The results show values over our current benchmarks for, Copper, TSS and
Phosphorus. The flow, precipitation, and duration were not provided in.the renewal.. .
All of the parameters were maintained in the renewed permit. .
BOD5 and COD have been added to other timber treated sites in our program because high levels of these
pollutants in surface waters were found along the properties of timber facilities.. Therefore, BOD5 have been
added to the renewal permit and COD has been maintained.
8. , Qualitative Monitoring Notes: Visual monitoring was done by checking if there were no problems. The reports
show no problems but give no details about the stormwater.

Revised Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring:
1. Maintain monitoring for COD, TSS, Oil and Grease, pH, Copper, Chromium, Arsenic, Total Nitrogen, and Total
Phosphorus.. The parameters were maintained because they are potential pollutions for the'site. BOD5.has been .
added to the permit as a potential pollutant.
2. pH has been added to the analytical monitoring requirements.
3. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as defined in Part IF
Section B, The permittee must also document the total precipitation for each event. If no discharge occurs
during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating "No Flow" within 30 days
of the'end of the six-month sampling period. Additionally, samples must be taken a minimum of 60 days apart,
as specified in Table 2.
4. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring have been added to this.draft permit. Exceedances of benchmark values
require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or
install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. If the sampling results are above a
benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at any outfall then the facility shall
follow the Tier 1 guidelines which require. a facility inspection within two weeks and implementation of a
mitigation plan within, two months. —If during the term of this permit, the sampling results are above the _
benchmark values', or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific. parameter at a specific discharge outfall
two times in a row (consecutive), then the. facility shall follow the Tier 2 guidelines which require a repetition of
the steps listed for Tier l .and also immediate ly'institute monthly monitoring -for all parameters at every outfall
where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples.
5. The permittee is required to collect all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during representative
storm events as defined in Part II Section B. Qualitative monitoring is required regardless of representative_
outfall status.
6.. The permittee is responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote 1 of Tables 1, 4,
and 5.
7., The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall parameter is in
this permit, however.)
8. Vehicle. maintenance monitoring has been_revised'to semi-annually in order to coincide with analytical and
qualitative monitoring:
Other Proposed Changes to the Previous Permit: .
1. Additional guidance is provided about the Site Plan requirements. The site map must now identify if the
receiving stream is impaired and 'if it has a TMDL established. It must also describe potential pollutants in each
outfall. The map requirements are stated- more explicitly. And, the site plan must contain a list of significant
spills that have occurred.in the past three years and also must certify that the outfalls have been inspected to
ensure that they do not contain non-stormwafer discharges. Additional information is provided in Part II Section
A.
2. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Management Plan have been specified in Part II Section A. More
details regarding secondary containment are provided.
3. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been specified in Part II Section A.
The plan must also be updated annually to include a list of significant spills and to certify that the outfalls do not
contain non-stormwater discharges.
4. The facility must.now implement a semi-annual Facility Inspection Program of the site's stormwater
management controls as specified in Part II Section A.
5. Information regarding the No Exposure Exclusion has been added to this draft permit. if industrial materials and
activities are not exposed to precipitation or.runoff as described in 40 CFR § 122.26(g), the facility may qualify
for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES stormwater discharge permit requirements. Additional information
is provided in Part I Section A.

Dear Permittee:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under NPDES Permit NCS000391. This
permit expired on August 31, 2008. To assure consideration for continued coverage under your
individual permit, you must apply to the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) for renewal of your permit.
Enclosed you will find an individual permit Renewal Application Form, Supplemental Information
request, and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Certification for your facility.
Filing the application form along with the requested supplemental information will constitute your
application for renewal of this permit. Until your permit renewal is completed and you receive a new
permit, please continue to comply with all conditions and monitoring requirements in your expired
NPDES stormwater permit.
The application and supplement must be completed and returned to DWQ by July 8, 2009. Failure to
request renewal within this time period will result in delay of your permit renewal and may result in a
civil assessment. Discharge of stormwater from your facility without coverage under a valid
stormwater NPDES permit would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and could result in
assessments of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day.
If you have any questions regarding permit renewal procedures please contact Brian Lowther of the
Stormwater Permitting Unit at (919)-807-6365 or [e-mail].

PART II MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR
PERMITTED DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
The permittee shall develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, herein after referred to as
the Plan. This Plan shall be considered public information in accordance with Part III, Standard
Conditions, Section E, Paragraph 3 of this individual permit. The Plan shall include, at a
minimum, the following items:
I. Site Plan. The site plan shall provide a description of the physical facility and the
potential pollutant sources which may be expected to contribute to contamination of
stormwater discharges. The site plan shall contain the following:
(a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle map or appropriately drafted
equivalent map), showing the facility's location in relation to transportation
routes and surface waters, the name of the receiving water(s) to which the
stormwater outfall(s) discharges, or if the discharge is to a municipal separate
storm sewer system, the name of the municipality and the ultimate receiving
waters; and accurate latitude and longitude of the point(s) of discharge.
(b) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities,
outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and
waste disposal practices.
(c) A site map drawn to scale with the distance legend indicating location of
industrial activities (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas
and loading and unloading areas), drainage structures, drainage areas for each
outfall and activities occurring in the drainage area, building locations, existing
BMPs and impervious surfaces, and the percentage of each drainage area that is
impervious. For each outfall, a narrative description of the potential pollutants
which could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge.
(d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred at the facility
during the 3 previous years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill
impacts.
(e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of
non-stormwater discharges. The certification statement will be signed in
accordance with the requirements found in Part III, Standard Conditions, Section
B, Paragraph 3.
2. Stormwater Management Plan. The stormwater management plan shall contain a
narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or
minimize the exposure of significant materials to stormwater, including structural and
nonstructural measures. The stormwater management plan, at a minimum, shall
incorporate the following:
Par( 11 Page 1 of 7

Permit No. NCS000456
(a) Feasibility Study. A review of the technical and economic feasibility of changing
the methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure
of materials and processes to stormwater. Wherever practical, the permittee shall
prevent exposure of all storage areas, material handling operations, and
manufacturing or fueling operations. In areas where elimination of exposure is
not practical, the stormwater management plan shall document the feasibility of
diverting the stormwater runoff away from areas of potential contamination.
(b) Secondary Containment Schedule. A schedule to provide secondary containment
for bulk storage of liquid materials, storage of Section 313 of Title III of the
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority
chemicals, or storage of hazardous substances to prevent leaks and spills from
contaminating stormwater runoff. If the secondary containment devices are
connected directly to storrwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be
controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices [which shall be
secured with a locking mechanism] and any stormwater that accumulates in the
containment area shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam, outfall
staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the accumulated
stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be
uncontaminated by the material stored within the containment area. Records
documenting the individual making the observation, the description of the
accumulated stormwater and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a
period of five years.
(c) BMP Summary. A narrative description shall be provided of Best Management
Practices (BMPs) to be considered such as, but not limited to, oil and grease
separation, debris control, vegetative filter strips, infiltration and stormwater
detention or retention, where necessary. The need for structural BMPs shall be
based on the assessment of potential of sources to contribute significant quantities
of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected through monitoring of
stormwater discharges.
3. Spill Prevention and Response Plan. The Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP)
shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials
inventory of the facility. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the
SPRP shall be identified. A responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility
operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or
exposure of materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP must be site
stormwater specific. Therefore, a SPCC plan may be a component of the SPRP, but may

PART II MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR
PERMITTED DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
The permittee shall develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, herein after referred to as
the Plan. This Plan shall be considered public information in accordance with Part III, Standard
Conditions, Section E, Paragraph 3 of this individual permit. The Plan shall include, at a
minimum, the following items:
1. Site Plan. The site plan shall provide a description of the physical facility and the
potential pollutant sources which may be expected to contribute to contamination of
stormwater discharges. The site plan shall contain the following:
(a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle map or appropriately drafted
equivalent map), showing the facility's location in relation to transportation
routes and surface waters, the name of the receiving water(s) to which the
stormwater outfall(s) discharges, or if the discharge is to a municipal separate
storm sewer system, the name of the municipality and the ultimate receiving
waters; and accurate latitude and longitude of the point(s) of discharge.
(b) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities,
outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and
waste disposal practices.
(c) A site map drawn to scale with the distance legend indicating location of
industrial activities (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas
and loading and unloading areas), drainage structures, drainage areas for each
outfall and activities occurring in the drainage area, building locations, existing
BMPs and impervious surfaces, and the percentage of each drainage area that is
impervious. For each outfall, a narrative description of the potential pollutants
which could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge.
(d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred at the facility
during the 3 previous years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill
impacts.
(e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of
non-stormwater discharges. The certification statement will be signed in
accordance with the requirements found in Part III, Standard Conditions, Section
B, Paragraph 3.
2. Stormwater Management Plan. The stormwater management plan shall contain a
narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or
minimize the exposure of significant materials to stormwater, including structural and
nonstructural measures. The stormwater management plan, at a minimum, shall
incorporate the following:
Part II Page 1 of 7

Permit No. NCS000456
(a) Feasibility Study. A review of the technical and economic feasibility of changing
the methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure
of materials and processes to stormwater. Wherever practical, the permittee shall
prevent exposure of all storage areas, material handling operations, and
manufacturing or fueling operations. In areas where elimination of exposure is
not practical, the stormwater management plan shall document the feasibility of
diverting the stormwater runoff away from areas of potential contamination.
(b) Secondary Containment Schedule. A schedule to provide secondary containment
for bulk storage of liquid materials, storage of Section 313 of Title III of the
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority
chemicals, or storage of hazardous substances to prevent leaks and spills from
contaminating stormwater runoff. If the secondary containment devices are
connected directly to stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be
controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices [which shall be
secured with a locking mechanism] and any stormwater that accumulates in the
containment area shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam, outfall
staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the accumulated
stormwater. Accumulated stormwatcr shall be released if found to be
uncontaminated by the material stored within the containment area. Records
documenting the individual making the observation, the description of the
accumulated stormwater and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a
period of five years.
(c) BMP Summary. A narrative description shall be provided of Best Management
Practices (BMPs) to be considered such as, but not limited to, oil and grease
separation, debris control, vegetative filter strips, infiltration and stormwater
detention or retention, where necessary. The need for structural BMPs shall be
based on the assessment of potential of sources to contribute significant quantities
of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected through monitoring of
stormwater discharges.
3. Spill Prevention and Response Plan. The Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP)
shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials
inventory of the facility. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the
SPRP shall be identified. A responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility
operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or
exposure of materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP must be site
stormwater specific. Therefore, a SPCC plan may be a component of the SPRP, but may
not be sufficient to completely address the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common
elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may be incorporated by reference into the SPRP.
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative
maintenance program shall be developed. The program shall document schedules of
inspections and maintenance activities of stormwater control systems, plant equipment
and systems. Inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of
these areas shall be incorporated into the program.

5. Employee Training. Training schedules shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis on proper spill response and cleanup procedures and
preventative maintenance activities for all personnel involved in any of the facility's
operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. Facility personnel
(or team) responsible for implementing the training shall be identified.
6. Responsible Party. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall identify a specific
,vposition(s) responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and
revision to the Plan. Responsibilities for all components of the Plan shall be documented
,.and position assignments provided.
7. - Plan Amendment. The permittee shall amend the Plan whenever there is a change in
design, construction, operation, or maintenance which has a significant effect on the
potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. The Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis.
The Director may notify the permittee when the Plan does not meet one or more of the
minimum requirements of the permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee shall
submit a time schedule to the Director for modifying the Plan to meet minimum
requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with

Enclosed you will find a modified application for a storm water permit. Your suggestions
at our meeting were very helpful. Robert Tankard's suggestion for a sediment pond was
also a good idea that we are including in our plans. We are searching for an engineer to
assist us with the various items connected with this process. Thanks again for the spirit of
cooperation that your office has shown and for helping Cove City Wood Preserving to
establish an environmentally friendly manufacturing site.
Yours,

Subject: Nutrient Monitoring in NCS permits in NSW's
Froth: Bill Mills <[e-mail]>
Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2003 09:55:01 -0400
To: Bradley Bennett <[e-mail]>

Bradley,
We had a short discussion today about the nutrient monitoring provisions that we have used in NCS
permits in NSW streams.
Since the Neuse Basin in targeting nitrogen for existing wastewater treatment plants and for local
stormwater management plans, we were discussing whether the nutrient monitoring for an NCS permit
on an industrial activity should be for Total Nitrogen, only, or for Total Nitrogen and Total
Phosphorous. (It seems we never got around to writing down the decision from about 5 yrs ago to begin
nutrient monitoring in the NCS permits in NSW's).
While the nutrient management strategies for the Neuse target only nitrogen for existing wastewater and
stormwater controls, it requires nitrogen and phosphorous limits for any new or expanded wastewater
discharges. Do you think nitrogen and phosphorous monitoring would be appropriate for an existing
industrial activity in the Neuse that has not had a permit before? (Ken is drafting a permit presently for
such a facility.)

Facility activities.
The facility receives lumber by truck and stores it on -site in open -sided sheds. Cumber is grouped in
bundles and placed into either of two retorts — long cylindrical pressure vessels, Pesticide chemicals are
drawn from on site bulk storage tanks and are sprayed onto the lumber in the retort. The pesticide -
impregnated lumber is pulled from the retort and stored under roof and allowed to drip-dry. When the drip-
dry step is complete the treated lumber is moved to outside storage. The finished product is loaded onto
trucks for delivery to the purchaser.
Copper, chromium, and arsenic.
1) Process materials used on site include compounds of copper, chromium, and arsenic. These
materials are stored in bulk on site, and are the key ingredients in the wood preservation process
(called the CCA process). Drip-drying of the impregnated wood is an intermediate activity with
potential to contribute these materials to the environment. Exposed final product storage is an
activity where human error could establish a potential to contribute these materials to the
environment if the treated wood was moved to storage before complete drip-drying had been
accomplished, or if incomplete impregnation of the wood left residual materials on the surface of
the wood. On -site storage, even in contained areas, pumping, and other handling of these USDA -
regulated pesticide chemicals presents potential for releasing these materials to the environment in
the event of equipment failure, containment failure, or operational errors.
2) A single set of stormwater sample test results provided by Cove City Wood Preserving shows that
these three materials were present in relatively low concentrations and that concentrations of
chromium and arsenic were less than the benchmark values available to the Stormwater and
General Permits Unit for guidance in identifying pollutant concentration levels of concern for
stormwater permitting purposes.

Chromium

0.247 m L
Arsenic

0.105 mg/L
3) Conclusion. Although the reported concentrations do not trigger concerns when compared to the
SGPU benchmark concentrations, a single sample is not sufficient to establish that these low
levels are representative of all stormwater discharges from the site. Since these materials can be
toxic in higher concentrations, it seems prudent to develop a more complete stormwater database
at this site. Consequently, the permit will include a sampling regimen for copper, chromium, and
arsenic that will provide a database sufficient to support a review of the monitoring requirements
in the next permit renewal.
4) One alternative process to the CCA process is a wood preserving process that uses
pentachlorophenol. Cove City reported verbally during the 8/8/03 site visit that wood preserving
processes using pentachlorophenol had never taken place on this site.

Selected conventional pollutants and related pollutants.
1) Conventional and related pollutants reported compare to the SGPU benchmark values as follows.

2) Conclusion. We judge that the BOD5 and COD measurements are effectively redundant as
measures of oxygen demanding pollutants for stormwater monitoring purposes at this site. COD
will be included in the permit, and BOD5 will not. Other than TSS, the conventional and related
pollutants are present in concentrations that would not trigger concerns when compared to the
SGPU benchmark concentrations. However, a single sample is not sufficient to establish that
these low levels are representative of all stormwater discharges from the site. Consequently, the
permit will include a sampling regimen for oil and grease, COD, TSS, and pH that will provide a
database sufficient to support a review of the monitoring requirements in the next permit renewal.
Nutrients.
1) Cove City reported 0.27 mg/L total nitrogen in the single stormwater sample. The benchmark
guidance available to SGPU is 20 mg/L. Cove City did.not report a phosphorus result. The
benchmark guidance available to the SGPU is 2.0 mg/L total phosphorus. The facility has no
obvious sources of nitrogen or phosphorus. However, it is located in the Neuse River basin. All
waters in the Neuse basin are categorized as nutrient sensitive waters (NSW) and the DWQ has
established a nitrogen reduction strategy for several of its programs especially for the Neuse basin.
One element of the nitrogen reduction strategy is the monitoring of nitrogen entering the receiving
waters in the basin.
2) Conclusion. In order to implement the DWQ's nitrogen reduction strategy for the Neuse basin,
the permit will include monitoring for total nitrogen. In order to establish a database sufficient to
support a review of the monitoring requirements for the next permit renewal, the permit will
include a total phosphorus monitoring requirement.
Flow.
Current SGPU precedent is to require reporting of total rainfall, event duration, and total flow for the
selected representative storm event. The Cove City permit will follow the current SGPU precedent.
Qualitative monitoring.
Current SGPU precedent is to require twice yearly monitoring of color, odor, clarity, floating solids,
suspended solids, foam, oil sheen, and any other obvious indicators of stormwater pollution. The Cove
City permit will follow the current SGPU precedent.

Stull Review mid Evaluation
(Ken fickle, 8/27103)
Page 4 ol' 4
Monitoring.
For new permits the SGPU typically requires monitoring annually for the first three years of the permit, and
quarterly in the fourth year of the permit. The SGPU judges that in most cases this provides a sufficient
database with which to assess the runoff from a newly permitted facility in preparation for the permit
renewal after five years. The monitoring requirement at Cove City will follow the current SGPU
precedent.
