Inspection Summary:
I met Stephanie Shoemaker, Manager of Regulatory and Permitting [phone], onsite to visit the new stormwater
drainage point with level spreaders which drains the parking lot and some of the roof area. This addition was to separate the
area's stormwater from becoming a part of the operation's wastewater, as the wastewater requires additional treatment. The
construction now allows this large area to sheet flow across the large grassed area and into the existing onsite wetland
area. We discussed that I would like to see the results of several monotitoring cycles which are within the benchmark
values, prior to considering representive outfall status (although this sheet flow is located well inside the permitted boundary
and as designed, should not create a discharge).
Note: Following this inspection, I attended a training session which presented benefits of bioretention, infiltration, wetlands,
wet ponds, etc., which may be helpful in many industrial applications.

Dear Sir or Madam
DEC - 5 2013
Pep_, L_R
..
As required by our NPDS general permit NO. NCG060000 and COC NO.'.NC6060292_+nre are submitting our
Assessment of Best Management Practices for the Smithfield/Farmland Packaged Food Group Kinston facility.;
Please contact me with any question.
Sincerely,
Charlie Prentice
Environmental Coordinator

Material handling activities
Raw materials are delivered by refrigerated trailers, box trailers and tankers. The raw materials trailers
are backed up to receiving dock doors which have overhangs and drains that flow to the on -site
wastewater plant.
Any trailer containing raw meat that cannot be backed into a receiving door immediately, is staged on a
concrete bermed pad with a drain that feeds to our on- site wastewater plant.
All oils used in -machinery are delivered in 55 gallon steel drums. The facilities procedure is to place all oil
drum deliveries inside the building as soon as they are off loaded. SOP KENG-002 Receiving Oils and
Lubricants.
Used oil is staged inside of the Central utilities Plant and is monitored during the reclaim process. SOP
KENG-001 Waste Oil/Waste Oil Materials
Used oil filters are drained inside for a minimum of 60 minutes before being placed inside a covered bin
that is staged on a concrete pad with a drain to an oil water separator. SOP KENG-001 Waste Oil/Waste
Oil Materials.
Bulk Tanker Deliveries
Chemicals used in the wastewater plant are located inside of the wastewater building in secondary
containment. Tanker truck deliveries are monitored during the off load. The tanker is parked on a
concrete pad that is sloped to a wastewater drain. All fill ports are locked and must be opened by a
trained designated Smithfield employee only. SOP KENG-004 Chemical Receiving at Wastewater Plant.
Anhydrous ammonia deliveries are monitored during the entire off-load by a refrigeration mechanic.
SOP KENG-003 Ammonia Receiving which references the facility's PSM program SOP in Vol. 1, Section 1
on page 1. Refrigeration mechanics review the SOP annually.
Bulk Salt, Lactate, Corn syrup, and Liquid Smoke tanks are outside of the facility in secondary
containment. Fill ports are locked and must be opened by a trained designated Smithfield employee
who monitors the entire off load of product. SOP KPOC-003 procedure for Filling a Silo
Diesel tanks and Gasoline are located outside of the central utilities Plant. Fill ports are located on a
concrete pad that is sloped to a drain that is an oil water separator. Both tanks are double walled and
the fill parts are locked. Fill ports must be unlocked by a trained designated Smithfield employee and the
off load monitored continuously.

Feasibility Evaluation
All bulk storage tanks are either double walled with alarms or are contained within secondary
containments. Weekly, monthly and bi-annual inspections are conducted on all outside areas of the
facility.
Wastewater mechanics monitor all secondary containments for the presence of accumulated rainwater.
That water is then tested and then either discharged to the stormwater system or pumped out into 275
gallon totes and released to the on- site wastewater treatment system.
All oil is placed on portable secondary containments inside of either the main facility or the Central
Utilities Plant.
All deliveries are continuously monitored and if any sign of a leak or spill is found, the off load is stopped
immediately and the spill response team is notified. The facility has a trained Hazmat and Spill Response
team on site with the necessary material need to contain any type of spill or release.
Do to food safety reasons and the size of the bulk salt, lactate, corn syrup and liquid smoke; it is not
feasible to locate these tanks inside of the building.
Since opening in 2005 the facility has had no reportable spills of any materials and feels that the location
of the tanks within containments and the annual training are working well and no corrective actions are
needed.
Animals/Wildlife On -Site
The facility is a further processing plant and does not keep and hogs on -site. The stormwater pond
located behind the facility does however see geese migrate to the pond during certain times of the year.
The pond also has fish in it most likely caused by birds carrying eggs and depositing them in the pond.
The facility has no time stocked this pond with fish. The pond and surrounding storm ditches are home
to many turtles. Fecal coliform concentrations might be correlated to the presence of these animals.
Corrective Actions
The -facility will be installing approximate ly-30 foot -of pipe in the storm drain located near our open top
trash container. The pipe will be covered with concrete so that any leakages from the container will not
flow into the storm drain but to a drain that flows to the wastewater plant. The pipe will allow rainwater
to continue to flow unimpeded. This project will be completed by 2/1/2014

SECTION E: ASSESSMENT OF BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES fBMPS
The Sanderson Farms Feed Mill located in Kinston, NC receives fat by truck that is stored in
tanks that are located in proper containment for capturing 110% of the volume of the
largest tank. The (4) storage tanks are 8000 gallons each; the containment has been
designed to hold (4) future tanks at 8000 gallons each.
The delivery truck parks next to the containment wall where he connects the hose over a
covered containment tray to collect any spillage during the connecting and disconnecting
procedure. The truck driver uses a bucket under the hose connection on his tankard to
capture fat that could be is in the hose. The driver is required to stay with the truck during
the entire delivery. The tray is designed with a valved discharge line that is located inside
the main containment for the tanks. The Tray has been covered to further minimize
incidental contact with storm water should there be spillage inside the tray. The existing
delivery procedure has been very effective in capturing incidental spillage.
The same procedure is used for a second containment with (4) bulk storage tanks that
contain liquid feed ingredients. The containment is designed to contain 110% capacity of
the largest tank. A third containment is used for a 10,000 gallon non -highway diesel tank
that is used for back up boiler diesel.
Storm water inside the containments will not be released if there is evidence of spilled
material. If necessary, the containments will be cleaned out by an outside contractor.
The feed mill operation consist of enclosed truck and rail receiving; (3) whole grain silos;
hammermills for grinding corn; ground grain storage; ingredient distribution system;
pneumatic receiving; pellet cooling systems; boilers; finished feed load out area; and
fueling area for vehicles. Emission controls (baghouses/cyclones) have been installed on
the equipment that requires control of fugitive emissions. All of these sources have been
approved and permitted by NCDENR Air Division.
Good Housekeeping practices consists of sweeping and vacuuming the exterior of the
facility daily to ensure dust from the operation is minimized to the storm drainage ditches.
The Analytical Monitoring results have all been less than benchmark limits. The site is
visually inspected daily by the Feed Mill Manager or his replacement when not available.
The areas listed as potential sources for pollutants in the SPPP are inspected a minimum of
quarterly and storm water events are observed at the outfalls. The sources and drainage
areas are unobstructed and visible allowing easy detection of any spillage.
The only vehicles entering the site are there for the purpose of delivering ingredients and
feed delivery trucks; exposure to fecal matters does not exist unless it is from wildlife.
Based on our current procedures and practices no corrective actions need to be taken.

Permit: NCG060320 Owner -Facility: Sanderson Farms Inc
Inspection Date: 08/05/2011 Inspection Type: Technical Assistance Reason for Visit: Other
Inspection Summary:
Technical Assistance inspection performed on August 5, 2011. Met with Brenda Flick, Dwayne Holifield and two other
members of staff about issues that processing plant is experiencing. Two samples collected so far since opening in
September of last year and both of them exced benchmark values for fecal coliform. After walking the site it was
discovered that source of polution is most likely the chicken trucks holding area that might be draining to stormwater
pond. The staff will try to test the flow from only this area and if that shows up as a reason for fecal exceeddance, some
adjustments will be necessary in order to divert this runoff from truck holdig area to WWTF pond.
Other that this issue, rest of the site looks good. The level spreader at the outfall from stormwater pond is not installed
correctly, but as installed it will incourage infiltration more than if it was installed properly.

I spoke to Al Hodge this afternoon about the fecal coliform samples that we are required to collect from our storm water
system. We have been in operation since September and collected 2 samples, one in March and June. Both were above
the benchmark; 1500 and >6000. 1 need help to determine the best solution to correct the problem.
I will not be available until the first week of August to meet you at the plant. Please check your schedule for a date we
can meet. My contact information is below if you'd like to discuss.
