Skvarla, III Governor Director Secretary January 28, 2013 Mr. -Steve Wright High Point Furniture Industries P.O. Box 2063 High Point, NC 27261 Subject: NPDES General Stormwater Permit Inspection High Point Furniture Industries = Bedford Street Facility Stormwater Permit No. NCG180220 Guilford County Dear Mr. Wright: On January 24, 2013, Mike Mickey of this office met with .you to perform a NPDES. General Stormwater Permit Inspection at the High Point Furniture industries plant located on Bedford Street in High Point. The facility was found to be compliant with the stormwater permit. The inspection findings are detailed below and an inspection checklist is attached for your records. 1. Permit High Point Furniture holds NPDES Stormwater Permit No. NCG180220 for the discharge of stormwater from the facility. The permit expires next on August 31, 2014. 2. RccordslReAorts Part II, Section A of the permit requires the development of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). A copy of an in-house prepared SPPP was available for review during the inspection. The plan Was found to be thorough and complete. Please note that Part II Section A(7) of the permit requires that the SPPP be reviewed and updated on an annual basis, if needed. 3. Facility Site Revicw A tour of the property did not reveal any major problems. However, one area of housekeeping concern involved the sawdust trailer at the back of the facility. A pile of sawdust at least one foot thick had accumulated on the ground at the front of the trailer. This material needs to be removed to prevent stormwater from carrying it off the property. 4. Effluent/Reccivins Waters Stormwater from the site is discharged from three outfalls into a tributary of Richland Creek, class "WS- IV` waters in the Cape Fear River Basin. Observations of the areas around the storm drain grates that lead to the pipe outlets were found to be clean and free of any accumulated debris.

Monitoring Program Part II, Section B of the permit requires that qualitative (visual) monitoring be performed and documented semi-annually. The file review showed that this monitoring was performed only once in 2012 and only one of the three outfall's was monitored. The permit specifies that the semi-annual qualitative monitoring be conducted at each stormwater outfall. Please make sure that forms are completed for all three outfalls twice per year. The analytical monitoring for on -site vehicle maintenance referenced in Part 11, Section C of the permit is not required since the facility uses less than 55 gallons of new motor oil when averaged over the calendar year. Your efforts to comply with the stormwater permit are. appreciated. Should you have any questions concerning this letter, please contact Mike Mickey or me at (336) 771-5000. Sincerely, W.
