Yes, we have a permit with NCDWQ for the existing pond. (We are in Columbus County)

We aren't going to do anything to the existing ditch. The leased area is on our side of the ditch and we won't be crossing
it.
Bobby Buchanan (on site) produced the CAD drawings, including the elevations.
This is going to be a storage area for green lumber.
I am at the office. Call or come by any time before 4p... sooner is better :)

Subject HE Stormwater Calculations
Do you have an existing storm water permits on the mill property? (State - NCDENR DWQ or with the
Brunswick County? Do you have any active storm water management activities (ie ponds) on site?
What are you planning/thinking on the existing ditch?. Were you planning on piping it? What kind of
loads/traffic would go over the pipe if you did pipe it?
Where did the elevations come from on your color site plan?
Are you looking to use this area as a loading point for rail cars or is this going to be storage/lay down area?.
Would you be available tomorrow for a site meeting? I understand it is going to be a nice day tomorrow and I
could stand to get out of the office.
This looks fairly straight forward.

f_ Subject RE: Stormwater Calculations
Catherine, Cheryl Moody and I spoke at lunch concerning your requirements from CSX. I am a civil engineer
with JBS Consulting and this is what we do. I can help guide you through this process. Forgive me, but
immediately multiple questions came to mind looking at the requirements.
-Do you have a topographical survey or any other survey - boundary?
-Copy of lease agreement?
-property location - address?
-size of property?
-intended use of property?
-these are CSX's requirements are you sure you do not have any local or state requirements?
These questions would get the ball rolling. If you have time and so desire I could meet you on site to discuss or
talk over the phone. Based on what I see I can certainly help you. Based on some preliminary research I see
you have a facility on Federal Road in Riegelwood. I am assuming that this leased property would be for

lumber staging/storage of some kind.

Hi, Cheryl! Our children are at SPEC together and I thought of you when this Stormwater issue came up with CSX. We
have leased some of their property but they want these calculations done before we are permitted to use the space as
desired. Could you let me know whether you can do this work? At what cost? And what time frame?

Subject: Representative Outfall Status Request
NPDES Permit NCG210023
Columbus County
Dee Freeman
Secretary
The Division of Water Quality, Wilmington Regional Office received your request for representative
outfall status for a new outfall, eliminating outfall 001 and 002, on June 02, 2009. A site evaluation of
the %Vest Fraser Armour Lumber Mill facility in Riegelwood was conducted on June 25, 2009.
Michelle Potter met with me on site. The lack of sufficient data for both outfalls prior to August 2008
makes it difficult to establish representative status at either outfall. It was determined that the sampling
points for Outfalls 001 and 002 would better demonstrate the quality of the discharges from the site if;
Outfall 001 were moved to the end of the ditch (that runs parallel to the train tracks just before entering
Steel Run Branch); and Outfall 002 were sampled at the base of the rip rap from the stormwater pond.
The Division requests that these sampling points be analyzed in accordance with the renewed NPDES
permit (August 2008) for at least 3 full years (August 2011). At the end of this period, DWQ will be
pleased to review the analyses' to determine the feasibility ofeliminating the analytical sampling
requirements at one or the other outfall locations.
DWQ did review the Integrated Spill Response Plan (iSRP). A minor comment regarding oil spill
notification is identif ed in the attached inspection report. Given the ISRP review and site visit, an
inspection by DWQ was conducted. The findings and comments noted during this inspection are
provided in the enclosed copy of the inspection report entitled "Compliance Inspection Report'.

Comment: Outfall 002 can be moved to the discharge point past the rip rap from the
stormwater pond. Outfall 001 should be moved to the end of the ditch that is parallel to
the train tracks, The ditch can serve as a BMP to help reduce TSS prior to entering

North Carolina Division of Water Quality
Attention: Kelly Johnson
127 Cardinal Drive Extension
Wilmington, NC 28405
Dear Ms. Johnson:
JUIV 0 2 2009
This letter is written to formally request a modification to the storm water outfall
sampling points for the West.Fraser - Armour Lumber Mill. Presently, we are required
by Permit No. NCG210023 to lsample at 2 points; Outfall 4001, a ditch that used to
border the site o then heast side of the property and two, Outfall #002 a branch that
used to border the south side of the property just before discharging into the Livingston
Creek.
Upon purchase of the Armour Mill by West Fraser, the company also purchased
additional land on the east side of the mill. Given this additional land, there is no
discharge of storm water from the mill site on either side of the property at Outfall 4001
and Outfall 4002, All the water that flows to the northeast side sampling point, continues
to flow on West Fraser property in a ditch that turns and flows to Livingston Creek. All
the water that` lownto the south side s ma pling point, continues to flow on West Fraser
property to Steel Run Branch which flows to Livingston Creek., At this point of
Livingston Creek would be the last point for sampling before storm water leaves West
Fraser property, we request that Outfall #001 and Outfall #002 be eliminated and a new
Outfall point at Livingston Creek be designated as our sampling point for storm water.
I appreciate your assistance in resolving our request. If you have any questions, please
do not hesitate to give me a call.

Integrated Spill Response Plan vl Armour Lumber MiII
Rev. 2, April 2009

Part I - Plan Purpose, Scope & Certifications
1.0 Purpose of Integrated Spill Response Plan
p �' p p
This integrated spill response plan (ISRP)_has been prepared for the West Fraser Armour Lumber Mill
located in Riegelwood, North Carolina, in accordance with 40 CFR Part 112, Oil Pollution Prevention
and the North Carolina Department of Environmental and Natural Resources (NCDENR) storm water
regulations.
This ISRP will function as the spill prevention control and countermeasures (SPCC) plan, the storm water
pollution prevention plan (SWPPP).
1.1 Purpose of Spill Prevention, Control & Countermeasure Plan
The objective of the oil pollution prevention program is to prevent harmful discharges of oil into or upon
the navigable waters of the United States, adjoining shorelines, or into or upon the waters of the
contiguous zone, as defined in 40 CFR l 10.1(g). The purpose of preparing and implementing the SPCC
plan, as described in the Oil Pollution Prevention regulations at 40 CFR 112, is "to complement existing
laws, regulations, rules, standards, policies, and procedures pertaining to safety standards, fire prevention
and pollution prevention rules, so as to form a comprehensive balanced federal/state spill prevention
program to minimize the potential for oil discharges." The SPCC plan is required for fixed facilities that:
• Store oil aboveground at capacities in excess of 1,320 gallons; or �­'
ram'\ • Store oil underground at capacities in excess of 42,000 gallons;' and t—
r • Could reasonably be expected to discharge oil into the waters of the United States, ✓
should a spill occur.
The Armour Lumber Mill requires an SPCC Plan, as the facility -wide aboveground oil storage capacity
totals more than 1,320 gallons, and oil discharges could potentially reach navigable waters. The
applicable 40 CFR 112 SPCC rules are presented in Appendix A. Armour Lumber Mill does not
transfer oil over bodies of water and does not have a total oil storage capacity in excess of I million
gallons. Therefore, a facility response plan (FRP) per 40 CFR 112.20 is not required."A certification that
the facility does not need to prepare an FRP is also included in Appendix A.
1.2 Purpose of Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
The Clean Water Act Amendments (CWAA) of 1987 required the USEPA to publish regulations to
control storm water discharges under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES).
The USEPA published storm water regulations on November 16, 1990, which require certain dischargers
of storm water to waters of the United States to apply.for NPDES permits. "Waters of the United States"
is generally defined as surface waters, includ ni g lakes, rivers, streams, wetlands, and coastal waters.
F Under the July 17, 2002 revisions to the rules, this requirement does not apply to any USTs already regulated under the federal
UST rules at 40 CFR 280. A UST capacity of 42,000 gallons alone would no longer trigger applicability of the SPCC rules, unless
these USTs are not regulated by 40 CFR 280. USTs regulated at 40 CFR 280 should be identified in an SPCC, but are no longer
considered in the applicability of the SPCC rules to a site.
----------------
Integrated SpiII Response Plan 1 Armour Lumber Mill
Rev. 2, April2009

Part I - Plan Purpose, Scope & Certifications
NPDES storm water discharge permits allow state and federal agencies to track and monitor sources of
storm water pollution.
According to the November lb, 1990, final rule, facilities with a "storm water discharge associated with
---�7 industrial activity" are required to apply for a storm water permit. The State of North Carolina has issued
a Certificate of Coverage under General Permit NCG210000 to the Armour Lumber Mill. The Storm
Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is a requirement of the General Permit (see Appendix B of this
ISRP). This plan is a "living document" since it will require periodic updates, addition of data, appending
of reports, and other modifications. The ISRP is to be revised within 2 weeks of each site compliance
evaluation if an evaluation reveals that this ISRP is ineffective in controlling the discharge of pollutants.
Armour Lumber Mill must also amend this SWPPP whenever a change in design, construction, operation,
or maintenance impacts the potential for pollutants to be discharged. However, Armour Lumber Mill is
not required to submit a notice to the director each time the SWPPP is modified unless the director
specifical ly requests changes to be made to the plan. Each page of the hard copy document should be
annotated with the applicable revision date/number.
Integrated Spill Response Plan 2 Armour Lumber Mill
Rev. 2, April 2009

Part I - Plan Purpose, Scope & Certifications
F~ 2.0 Spill Reporting
One purpose of this combined plan is to enable Armour Lumber Mill to prevent the discharge of harmful
quantities of oil to the navigable waters of the United States. A harmful quantity of oil as defined by the
United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) in 40 CPR 110 and 112 as a discharge that
violates applicable water quality standards and/or one that causes a sheen, film, or discoloration of the
surface of water or adjoining shorelines. It also includes a discharge that may cause a sludge or emulsion
to be deposited beneath the surface of the water or upon adjoining shorelines.
The North Carolina general statutes at NCG 143-215.85(b) requires that any oil spill be reported that
meets any one of the following criteria:
• Causes a sheen on any surface water (ditch, stream, pond, river, lake, ocean), or
• Occurs within 100 ft of such surface waters, or
• Is greater than 25 gallons,
Under SPCC requirements at 40 CFR 112.4(a), facilities that discharge oil in amounts that exceed the
following thresholds must also file a written report within 60 days of the events which triggered the
threshold to the EPA Regional Administrator in Atlanta, Georgia (40 CFR l 12.4(a)):
• Greater than 1000 gallons in a single discharge, or `---
• Greater than 42 gallons in each of two discharges, within one year.
In addition to petroleum spill reporting requirements under the SPCC rules, the State of North Carolina
general statutes regarding oil spills, and the reporting requirements under the General Permit NCG21000
for Stormwater Discharges, the Armour Lumber Mill must also adhere to reporting requirements for the
releases of non-petrolcum "hazardous substances" under the federal Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) rules. Specifically, the Armour Lumber Mill is
required to report to the National Response Center at [phone] any releases of a CERCLA
hazardous substance that is:
0 Greater than its respective "reportable quantities (RQ)" in any 24-hour period.
The table of hazardous substances and their respective 24-hour RQ's is found at 40 CFR 302.4.
Past spills defined by 40 CFR 1 10.10, 117.21 and 302.4, that occurred at the Armour Lumber Mill are to
be recorded in Table 1. During the five years prior to the date of this plan, there have been no spills or
leaks at the Armour Mill.

Rev. 2, April2009

Part II - General Facility Information
5.0 Facility Description
tion
Armour Lumber Mill consists of 184 acres of which 71 acres have been developed for the Facility. The
facility is located 0.8 miles west of the town of Riegelwood, North Carolina on the south side of the CSX
railroad in Columbus County (latitude 34.337775 north, longitude 78.24403 west). The site mailing
address is 361 Federal Road, Riegelwood, North Carolina 28456. The facility can operate 24 hours per
day, 365 days per year. The Armour Mill location is indicated in Figure 1.
5.1 Location & Topography
The duped portion n of the property is generally Flat, except for the local drainages ditches. Drainage
ditches are generally man-made or natural drainages that were re -engineered during site work. The
" highe`st_poin s wn develo ithiped portion of the property are in the northern halFof the fac� i y at up to 45
' 'feet above mean sea level (MSL). The lowest elevations within the developed portions occur in the
southern half of the facility at approximately 33 feet MSL. All major structures at the facility, including
hazardous materials use and storage sites, are at least 35 feet MSL.
The western and southern boundaries of the developed facility are formed by a tributary of Livingston
Creek, which loops to the southwest and then to the southeast of the developed facility. This tributary
joins Livingston Creek more than 2000 feet east of the developed facility. The normal pool of the
tributary is approximately 30 feet MSL west of the facility and approximately 24 feet MSL southeast of
the Facility. At its confluence with Livingston Creek, normal pool of the tributary creek is approximately
10 feet MSL.
From its confluence with the tributary, Livingston Creek meanders approximately 1'/2-miles to the east
and then 11/4-miles to the north where it meets the Cape Fear River. The Cape Fear River itself is
essentially at or slightly above sea level. Livingston Creek falls less than 3-ft per mile along its Final S-
miles to the Cape Fear and is lined along both banks by wetlands. The Cape Fear flows approximately
12 —miles further east to the upper reaches of its estuary, which opens to the Atlantic Ocean another 20-
miles south.
5.2 Site Map
The site plan (Figure 2) will help team members assess where potential storm water pollutants are located,
where pollutants could contaminate storm water, and where storm water leaves the site. The map
specifically identifies features and areas of potential pollutant sources, such as the following:
* Topography or site characteristics
+ Location of exposed significant materials
+ High -risk waste -generating areas and activities common on industrial sites, such as
— fueling stations;
— maintenance;
— vehicle and equipment washing;
— loading and unloading areas;

5.3 Process Description
Green southern yellow pie logs_are transported to the facility by truck and are stored outdoors in ten
linear log runs. The logs are debarked, sawed into lumber, kiln dried, planed, and then distributed -to
lumber yards by truck. Wood chips, bark chips, and saw dust generated during the process are used �P
beneficially. A significant portion of the bark chips is used as boiler fuel. Wood chips are transported f�
away from the facility by trucks to the local -paper mill. There are four kilns and one boiler. Ancillary
structures and functions include a mobile equipment maintenance shop, an adjacent wash pad, a parts
building, an oil storage area, a motor fuels tank area, an office buildings, a training building, scrubber
ponds, a firewater pond and a firewater tank, and a diesel -fired firewater pump.
A variety of oils and chemicals are used in numerous locations at the Armour Lumber Mill facility.
Diesel fuel, crankcase oils and glycol anti -freezes are used for material in -plant transport equipment
(loaders, lift trucks, etc.). Hydraulic oils are also used in some of the industrial vehicles as well as in
numerous stationary hydraulic units that support various process equipment. These uses also generate
used oil. Dielectric oils are used in the electrical transformers. Non -petroleum chemicals used and/or
stored on -site include glycol antifreeze, battery acids, maintenance paints, plus sulfuric acid and other
boiler chemicals. Non -petroleum and non -chemical industrial materials and by-products found at the mill
include bark chips, wooden skids, empty drums, welding rods, compressed gases (primarily for welding),
miscellaneous cleaning supplies, wood dusts, and wood ash from the boiler. Site refuse consists of
miscellaneous refuse office, break room and rest room solid wastes (paper, used beverage containers,
small package wastes, etc.), as well as cardboard and other industrial packaging wastes and small empty
containers.
New, purchased materials are generally transported to the plant in tanker trucks, tote bins, drums, and
boxes or on wooden skids. Lift trucks transport drums, skids and tote bins within the site. Listing of
these significant materials, as well as the storage locations and major loading and unloading areas are
presented in Table 3.
5.4 Wastewater Treatment
Sanitary waste is discharged to five septic tanks on the property, located at the following areas: mobile
shop, front office, planer building, lumber storage yard next to warehouse #2, and the shipping office.
Process wastewaters consist of boiler blow -down, kiln condensate, air compressor condensate, scrubber
water, and the wash pad runoff. These discharges enter the ash scrubber ponds located in the northeast
corner of the developed area of the facility. The wash pad run-off passes through an oil/water separator,
with the oil fraction collected in a drum. The water fraction discharges to the scrubber ponds. Most dike
water from the gasoline and diesel ASTs and other material storage dikes is uncontaminated and released
from the dikes after inspection. Any contaminated water would be disposed of as waste.

Part II - General Facility Information
6.0 Inventory of Materials & Materials Transfer Operations
This plan includes a description of sources that potentially could add pollutants to storm water discharges
or that may result in the discharge of pollutants during dry weather from storm water channels at the
facility.
Petroleum -based materials as well as other chemicals are stored and handled at several locations at
Armour Lumber Mill. This section describes the facilities drainage areas, storage areas, such as storage
tanks, drum storage areas, fueling stations, non -PCB transformer oils (the transformers are owned by
Progress Energy), and transfer pumping. The site plan (Figure 2) shows the site layout and locates the oil
and chemical storage and handling areas.
6.1 Stored Materials
The Storm Water General Permit requires preparation of an inventory of materials that may be exposed to
storm water at the site, including a narrative description of the following:
• Significant materials that have been handled, treated, stored, or disposed of in a manner to
allow exposure to storm water between the times of 3 years prior to the date of permit
issuance and the present.
• Method(s) and location of on -site storage or disposal.
• Materials management practices employed to minimize contact of these materials with storm
water runoff between the time of 3 years prior to the date of the issuance of the permit and the
present.
• Existing structural and nonstructural control measures to reduce pollutants in storm water
runoff, including their locations.
• Any treatment of storm water runoff.
Table 3 provides an inventory of all materials and tanks at the Armour Lumber Mill facility that could
potentially affect storm water including chemical and oil tanks used for storage. Table 3 includes the
following information:
• Numbered Areas — These refer to a location identified on Figure 2 where petroleum or other
significant materials are stored.
• Quantity — This is the estimated total maximum storage capacity in the area. For tanks, this
is the nominal capacity. For drum storage areas, this is the total capacity when the maximum
number of drums and/or totes is in the area.
• Material Stored — This is the material stored in the area during 2003. It is possible that the
exact materials in any area will change. However, this ISRP makes the conservative
(protective) assumption of what materials are stored or can likely be stored in these areas.
Changes in the materials stored in specific areas or in total maximum capacities require
"amendments" to this ISRP.
• Preventive Feature — This summarizes the preventive feature for each facility that prevents
discharged oil from reaching a navigable watercourse. These features include "secondary

` containment," which is a dike or curb with capacity for at least 110 percent of the largest
tank, and "adsorbent materials," which are materials to control spills from escaping the
immediate spill area and being exposed to storm water.
• Applicable Regulations — This identifies each material as being subject to storm water
regulations, spill prevention control and countermeasures regulations, or the CERCLA
"reportable quantity" regulations. This will allow the regulation to be identified as the
regulating the identified material.

Table Notes:
Per the July 2002 revision of the SPCC rules, locations where_pctrolcum prat is stored in containers greater than 5`gal must
have secondary containment. In addition, secondary containment is a best practice for certain `operational uses" of etroleum—.�rl'
products, especially for hydraulic systems. SPCC-based secondary containment systems must be capable o containing the contents
of the largest container, plus sufficient freeboard to contain precipitation (a minimum 10 percent additional is good engineering
practice). In the case of large numbers of tanks and drums, the containment must be at least 10 percent (plus freeboard) of the
maximum possible inventory at the location, if that is a larger quantity than a containment based on the "largest tank (plus
freeboard)" criterion. Locations where secondary containment is required by the revised regulations (or by best practice), but is not
currently in place or does not meet the minimum criteria, must be upgraded to, these criteria within six months of certification of the
plan by the engineer and approval of the plan by plant management. At the time or the issuing of this plan, all storage regulated by
the SPCC rules met these criteria. Locations that are indoors or otherwise sheltered from rainfall are not regulated under the
stormwater rules, except where load and unloading occurs outside, but such indoor locations may still be subject to the SPCC rules.
6.2 In Process Materials
rrThe SPCC regulations do not require secondary containment for "operational uses" of oil such as in
4qq11
active transformers and hydraulic units. The US EPA exempts transformers from structural secondary
containment requirements under the oil filled electrical equipment interpretation. Secondary containment,
however, can be implemented as a best practice. As transformers historically have a relatively low
frequency of leaks, the vast majority of transformers in service at utility company facilities, industrial
facilities and at commercial facilities do not have secondary containment. However, the Armour Lumb6
Mill has installed secondary containment at its outdoor power transformers. J
Unlike transformers, hydraulic units historically experience frequent leaks, including both significant
malfunctions and chronic minor leaks. For this reason, it is considered a best practice to provide
secondary containment for hydraulic units. "Conformant" secondary containment (i.e., containment large
enough to contain the entire contents of the largest unit plus 10 percent) is not required by the regulations
for operational uses of oil. However, in the case of hydraulic units, conformant containment is
recommended for all outdoor units as well as most indoor hydraulic units over 55 gallons incapacity. It
also recommended that rain protection be provided where practicable for the outdoor units, as rain
Integrated Spill Response Plan
Rev. 2, April 2009

Armour Lumber Mill

Part II - General Facility Information
protection reduces the complications in disposing of contaminated rainwater (a common condition within
containment at outdoor hydraulic units) and it eliminates the possibility that oil released to the dike could
be Boated over the top of the containment during heavy rain events.
Most of the hydraulic units at the Armour Lumber Mill already have "conformant" secondary
containment and most are indoors (or at least under cover if not within a totally enclosed building). A
few of the indoor hydraulic units have secondary containment that would not contain a total release of the
reservoir contents, but a]I have containment that would hold at least 50% of the reservoir capacities.
These containment structures do a good job of containing ordinary small leaks and would also contain all
but the most catastrophic larger leaks. As the number of units without conformant secondary containment
is small and in all cases these units are not outside, no upgrades are recommended.
6.3 Facility Transfer Operations
Two areas at the site where oils are transferred from truck -to -tank or from tank -to -truck are at the Mobile
Shop and at the emergency fire pump diesel tank. The ASTs at the Mobile Shop are arranged such that
most transfer leaks, except at the truck end of the hose, and would be contained within the secondary
containment dikes. At the emergency fire water pump, diesel is transferred to the emergency fire water
pump tank where the dike is an integral part of the building wall; therefore a large portion of the delivery
hose would be outside the containment area, but at the fill port, the hose is inside the building.

7.0 Drainage Basins & Outfalis
Refer to Figure 2 for details on the drainage ditches and Outfall locations. Also refer to Figure 3 for an
aerial photo of the facility in which the major features of the facility are visible. Potential pollutant
sources are included in the Basin and Outfall descriptions presented below. Appropriate monitoring
points are selected where the industrial discharges exit the property. Some of the monitoring points may
include combined discharges of several of the basins as defined in this Plan. The facility also samples the
discharge from the area that contains the vehicle maintenance activities per the requirements of Part II,
Paragraph C of the General Permit.
Drainage Basin 1: Drainage Basin l is the northeastern portion of the site, roughly 9'/4 acres.
Basin I includes the office, scale, the firewater pond and tank, the boiler scrubber ponds, the mobile
shop, the kilns, parts of the sawmill and planer mill, and all of the sorter and stacker (see Figure 2).
Basin ldrainage is generally from south to north with sheet flow, shallow ditches and one culvert
draining into a drainage ditch to the north of the security fence. This ditch north the fence has a
divide approximately in line with the kilns where flow to the east discharges via Outfal1 001 and flow

Drainage Basin 2: Basin 2 is the balance of the site, and includes that portion which drains to
the unnamed tributary of Livingston Creek (see Figures I & 2). This basin includes the log runs, the
scrap metal roll -off, the warehouses, shipping office, outdoor log stacking, the southern portion of the
sawmill and most of the planer mill. Drainage is via sheet flow, numerous shallow ditches, and
several short culverts (the latter convey water in the ditches under in -plant roads). Flow patterns of
these sub -drainages in the western portion of the basin are to the northwest or west, in the southern
portion of the basin to the south, and in the eastern portion of the basin to the southeast. All of the
numerous sub -drainages discharge to the unnamed tributary of Livingston Creek. The point where
this unnamed tributary discharges from the property is designated as Outfall 002. This discharge is
currently from a persistent beaver pond.
Drainage from those sub -basins within Basin 2 where most oil and chemical storage occurs flows to
the unnamed tributary via a large stormwater retention pond, which can intercept any spilis that occur
in those sub -basins. This retention pond also reduces the burden of suspended solids in/the
stormwater discharges, including soil sediments from disturbed ground surfaces, earthen ditches and
plant roads, as well as wood solids (bark and sawdust).

The Storm Water General Permit requires that each plan identify a specific individual or individuals ,
within the organization as members of the storm water pollution prevention team. Designating a team to
implement the pollution prevention plan serves several purposes. Naming the individual or team
members makes it clear that part of that person's job is to prevent storm water pollution. Identifying a
specific individual also provides a point of contact for those outside the facility that may need to discuss
aspects of the facility's pollution prevention plan (e.g., regulatory officials).
The team's responsibilities include performing site assessments, identifying pollutant sources and risks,
decision making on appropriate Best Management Practices (BMPs), directing the actual implementation
of the BMPs, and evaluating the effectiveness of the plan on a regular basis. To ensure that the ISRP
remains effective, the person or team responsible for maintaining the pollution prevention plan must be
aware of any changes that are made in plant operations so that this individual or team can assess the
nature of those revisions.
Spill prevention control measures, such as diking, and staging of spill control equipment near oil and
chemical storage areas, are in place at Armour Lumber Mill. Preventive operating practices such as
routine inspection, maintenance, and security measures, and personnel training minimize the likelihood of
a major oil or chemical release and potential impacts should a release occur. However, Armour Lumber
Mill has established an emergency protocol as identified in Subsection 10.4 to notify appropriate agencies
and comply with applicable federal, state, and local regulations, should a release occur.
While a designated individual or a pollution prevention team can be assigned the job of developing and
implementing this plan, plant management is ultimately responsible for the implementation of the plan
and for compliance with all applicable storm water and oil pollution prevention requirements.
Integrated Spill Response Ilan 20 Armour Lumber Mill
Rev. 2, April 2009

Part III - Preparedness & Response
Accordingly, the designated individual or team must have a clear line of communication with plant
management to ensure that a cooperative partnership is maintained.
8.1 Training
Upon hire or reassignment to new responsibilities, and an� nually thereafter, appropriate employees are
trained regarding discharge prevention and their dirties in the event of a spill and also regarding
implementation of stormwater BMPs. Areas addressed in this combined SPCC/SWPPP training include
the following:
• The importance of quick response to spills
• The location and use of spill equipment and supplies
• How to safely and effectively use the spill equipment and supplies
• The locations of oil transfer shutoff switches
• The locations of catch basins, drainage ditches and outfalls, and where the outfalls lead to
• The importance of preventing releases from migrating toward local surface waters, including
the in -plant ditches and storm sewer catch basins, and from spreading such that post -spill
cleanup activities are made more complicated
• The specific response and notification procedures (see Section 10 of this ISRP)
• A review of stormwater pollution plan BMPs and that a reminder that no non-stormwater
(process water) is to be discharged
• A review of the drainage basins, what industrial processes occur within the basins, and the
locations of the basin outfalls.
• An overview discussion of the stormwater sampling program
• An overview of the inspections program
• An overview of the dike draining and tanker truck loading/unloading procedures.
Signature sheets document training for each session. The EHS Coordinator maintains these training
records.
Integrated Spill Response Plant 21 Armour Lumber Mill
Rev. 2, April 2009

Part III - Preparedness & Response
r 9.0 Spill Prevention and Preparedness W S
The following structural and procedural measures are employed by the Armour Lumber Mill to prevent
spills under the SPCC requirements. These are also considered the Best Management Practices (BMPs)
under the SWPPP requirements. Appendix C includes additional guidance on BMPs that can be
considered.
9.1 Structural Measures
Secondary Containment. The SPCC rules require that the facility provide appropriate containment
and/or diversionary structures or other equipment to prevent a petroleum discharge as described in §
1 12.1(b). To meet this requirement, secondary containment is required for most petroleum tanks and
containers greater than 55 gallons capacity at the Armour Lumber Mill. Each containment system,
including walls and floor, must be capable of containing oil and must be constructed so that any discharge
from a primary containment system, such as a tank or pipe, will not escape the containment system before
cleanup occurs. The containment must be able to contain the lamer of the following: the contents of the
largest container/tank, plus sufficient freeboard (10 percent extra volume is considered sufficient
freeboard), or for large quantities of drums and small containers, 10 percent of the maximum possible
inventory.
At the time this plan was issued, secondary containment existed for all regulated containers and tanks
with capacities greater than 55 gallons. The arrangements for transformers and hydraulic units are
} discussed in Section 6.2.
_Non -Petroleum tanks_are not required by the SPCC rules to have secondary containment. However,
under the storm water rules, secondary containment is considered best practice for chemicals such as
-- solvents, acids, caustics, glycols, etc. At the time this plan was issued (Revision 2), all such
non -petroleum storage tanks and containers greater than 55 gallons had acceptable containment measures.
Sediment and Erosion Control. The SWPPP is required by the General Permit to consider areas of
the facility that, due to topography, activities, or other factors, have a high potential for significant soil
erosion. The majority of the plant site is paved or grassed and not subject to erosion. However, 1�
personnel should pay particular attention to the grassed channels after heavy rainfalls to verify that no
erosion has occurred. If heavy rains have caused erosion, personnel should take immediate action to
prevent further damage and soil loss by installing silt fences and reconstructing the affected channel(s).
Site inspections should include an assessment of these areas and an evaluation of the erosion or
channeling by runoff and possible ways to improve any deficiencies noted.
9.2 Procedural Measures
Inspections, Maintenance & Records. The inspection program includes regularly scheduled
inspections by the staff and periodic inspections by the Environment, Health & Safety (EHS) department.
EHS staff performs routine inspections. Sample checklists for the inspections are presented in Appendix
D (see also the more detailed discussion in Section 14 of this ISRP.
Integrated Spill Response Plan 22 Armour Lumber Mill
Rev. 2, April 2009

Part III - Preparedness & Response
During inspections, personnel observe the oil storage areas for evidence of deterioration, leakage, and
improper practices. Inspections include observation of the following:
• Deterioration of tank exteriors, tank supports, or aboveground piping
• The presence of petroleum within containment structures
• Verification that drainage valves from containment areas are closed
• The presence of any petroleum spills or releases outside of controlled areas and their causes
and sources
Proper operation of sump pumps in oil storage collection sumps
• Verification that spill control kits are in their proper location and that they are properly
stocked
If problems are detected, corrective actions must be taken immediately. The inspections, any problems
identified during the inspections, and the corrective actions taken must be documented. Per the SPCC
rules, the facility must keep the written procedures and a record of the inspections and tests, signed by the
appropriate supervisor or inspector, with the SPCC Plan for a period of three years. A sample tank
inspection checklist is included in Appendix D.
More comprehensive inspections or integrity testing must also be performed as follows:
• For field -erected bulk storage tanks, and also shop -built tanks that are in contract with the
ground or a concrete floor or pad, conduct both periodic integrity testing of the tanks and
periodic leak testing of the valves and piping. Integrity testing should consist of ultrasonic
testing of wall thickness combined with visual inspection of both the inside and outside
surfaces of the tanks. Leak testing of piping can consist of hydrostatic pressure testing.
These activities should be performed at Armour at intervals of no less than 10 years. For
tanks that have never been tested in this manner, the first test must be performed within six
/ months of the approval of this plan by facility management.
i
• For shop -built tanks that are elevated such that all sides and the bottom can be visually
inspected (i.e., set on saddles or similar), conduct a detailed visual inspection in accordanc
with Standard SP001-03 of the Steel Tank Institute at intervals of not greater than 10 years.
The inspection shall be conducted by a qualified inspector, as certified by the Steel Tank
Institute or by the American Petroleum Institute. Leak testing of associated piping can
consist of hydrostatic pressure testing. These activities should be performed at intervals of n
less than 10 years. For tanks that have never been tested in this manner, the first test must be
performed within six months of the approval of this plan by facility management.
Records of the comprehensive inspections and/or integrity tests must be kept for the life of the tank.
Oil Transfer Procedures. All tanks are manually filled under supervision of competent personnel.
Alarms are not necessary for these operations since they are manned at all times during filling. Except on
hydraulic systems, petroleum products are transferred via flexible hoses connected to the tanks. Armour
Integrated SpiII Response Plan 23 Armour Lumber Mill
Rev, 2, April 2009

Part III - Preparedness & Response
Lumber Mill employees who monitor the transfers are required to know the location of spill kits and how
to use the equipment and supplies in them. These employees are also trained in the appropriate
procedures related to spill notification and initial response.
Oil Use in Process Equipment. The Armour Lumber Mill uses some pieces of equipment that have
oil reservoirs; there are preventive measures in place to keep oil associated with this equipment from
entering storm water (Table 3). For process equipment with oil reservoirs that have capacities of less than
55 gallons, the preventive feature to contain spills are spill kits located nearby. Personnel who work in
the vicinities of this equipment receive spill prevention and response training. This equipment is included
with the inspection program. (See additional discussions in Section 6.2)
Good Housekeeping Measures. Good housekeeping is the maintenance of an orderly work
environment and contributes to the overall facility pollution control effort. Good housekeeping is
achieved through a combination of periodic employee training, motivation, and significant management
attention to details of keeping storage, production, and workshop areas clean and orderly. Good
housekeeping not only contributes to prevention of incidents, but also supports worker health and safety
programs, eliminates waste, and generally prevents deterioration of company property and equipment.
Housekeeping is the responsibility of operations personnel on each shift with support from plant
management.
The most common housekeeping issues at a sawmill revolve around the production of sawdust in many of
the processes. These issues require frequent activities to keep the yards clean of spilled sawdust, and also
to keep the hydraulic containment pans free of sawdust. The latter activity is quite important from a spill
prevention standpoint, as significant sawdust buildup in a containment pan can compromise the capacity
of that pan to contain a major oil release from the hydraulic unit served.
Preventive Maintenance. An effective preventive maintenance program is an important aspect of any
BMP control system. Properly maintained and inspected equipment is less likely to cause problems that
result in accidents. Armour Lumber Mill has a preventive maintenance program that specifically provides
review of equipment in areas where potential discharges to the environment exist. Where a determination
is made that insufficient attention is being paid to any item involved in the handling, storage, or transport
of process chemicals, treatment chemicals, fuels, or lubricants, these deficiencies will be brought to the
attention of the pollution prevention team by shift supervisors. Preventive maintenance records on
applicable equipment and systems are maintained in the central plant files.
Security. Armour Lumber Mill's entries into the facility are at the main offices and the scale house.
The main office personnel and scale house operators prevent unknowing entry and to minimize the
possibility for unauthorized entry for persons and equipment onto the facility.
All process areas and areas where oil and other chemicals are stored or dispensed are well lighted. Both
photo -electrically operated and manually controlled lights are used at the facility. The entire frontage
along the CSX rail line is fenced, and the only entrance road is gated. On the other three sides of the
active portion of the site the lack of any adjacent roads, the presence of the creek, and the heavily wooded
nature of surrounding land provide a measure of security in lieu of fencing.
Storage tanks with secondary containment are equipped with either normally closed dike valves, which
are kept locked except when in use, or have secondary containment with no passive drains at all. The
latter are emptied via blind sumps using sump pumps operated by authorized personnel only. Should any

C_ 10.0 Spill Response Procedures
In spite the facility's best efforts to prevent spills of any magnitude from occurring, the possibility of a
spill does exist. The following is a summary of the pre -planned spill response procedures that facility
staff are to follow in the event of a spill.
Step 1: Stop the leak if possible, and notify your Supervisor and the EHS
Coordinator (see Quick Reference Guide). If neither of these individuals can be located, notify
the next pet -son listed in the Quick Reference Guide.
Step 2: Immediate Response. The EHS Coordinator (or the alternate) assesses the nature
and extent of the spill and the potential threat to human life or the environment. He/She then
directs implementation of the actions needed to stop the source of the release and control the
spread of the released material or the flow of material to local surface waters. The Maintenance
Supervisor and the Area Supervisor will make resources available as needed. As warranted, the
EHS Coordinator (or the alternate) will summon the local emergency response agencies (EMTs,
police or fire department) or the on -call outside response contractor to provide additional
resources.
Step 3: Notifications. If the spill reaches or threatens to reach waters of the state (can include
a ditch with standing water), or if the spill is a petroleum product release of greater than 25
gallons, or if the spill of a CERCLA hazardous substance exceeds its reportable quantity (RQ),
the incident must be immediately be reported to the appropriate governmental agency: the NC
(� DENR and/or the National Response Center, The appropriate corporate official must also be
\• notified. (See Quick Reference Guide for notification phone numbers).
Step 4: Cleanup and Disposal. Upon control of the spill the EHS Coordinator will direct
cleanup and proper disposal of the contaminated residues resulting from the spill.
The EHS Coordinator (or alternate) will keep a daily log of activities during the spill event including the
nature and extent of the spill, the response actions, any outside assistance, the quantity and disposition of
the spilled materials, an assessment of environmental damage and any contact with regulatory agencies.
This information may be required to be submitted in written form to the governmental agencies at a later
date. A spill report form that outlines the information to be obtained regarding the spill is included in this
spill plan as Appendix D.
10.1 Response Measures and Equipment
Response measures include the use of absorbent materials or the construction of temporary dikes, swales,
or berms to prohibit or control the flow of spilled materials. Absorbent materials and miscellaneous
equipment that are available on site in the event of spill will be used to contain and recover spilled
materials. Sawdust absorbent is available from the facility operations in an unlimited quantity. The
facility also has heavy equipment that can be of value to spill response (i.e., front end loaders). Outside
services such as earth moving equipment and crews, disposal contractors, fire departments, and hazardous
material response teams may also be enlisted as necessary.
Integrated Spill Response Plan 26 Armour Lumber Mill
Rev. 2, April 2009

Part III - Preparedness & Response
C,
10.2 Outside Assistance
The spill coordinator is responsible for notifying outside emergency response organizations in the event
that their services are needed (see Quick Reference Guide for contact information). Outside assistance
may be requested for traffic control, community evacuation, fire, spill control and cleanup, and medical
emergencies. The spill coordinator is also responsible for retaining cleanup subcontractors and procuring
the necessary materials and equipment. The spill coordinator shall maintain a log of the progress of spill
response activities.
10.3 Cleanup and Disposal
Spill cleanup activities will be conducted under the general supervision of the spill coordinator who will
designate facility personnel and equipment and authorize assistance as needed. To the extent feasible, the
spilled material will be recovered and reclaimed or disposed of. Spill residues and other contaminated
materials will be characterized using MSDSs for the materials, by analyses or the available information
and disposed of in accordance with applicable regulations in a manner and at a location approved by the
spill coordinator. Any supplies or equipment depleted or destroyed, as a result of the spill or subsequent
response activities will be replaced as soon as possible.
10.4 Notification and Reporting
This subsection outlines the notification and reporting procedures to be followed in the event of a spill
and the designated personnel responsible for each notification or report. A listing of agencies and
services that may potentially be notified is given in the Quick Reference Guide at the front of this Plan.
Notifications and Reports. In the event of a spill, the employee discovering the spill shall immediately
contact the Team Leader who will contact the spill coordinator, Emergency numbers for both on -site
emergency personnel and off -site emergency contacts are given Quick Reference Guide.
• If the spill poses a threat to human health or property, the spill coordinator will notify the
local sheriff, fire department, and area medical personnel as needed.
The spill coordinator will determine if the spill is reportable under federal regulations.
40 CFR 110 states that a reportable spill is one that discharges a harmful quantity of oil to the
navigable waters of the United States. A harmful quantity of oil is defined by the USEPA
as a discharge that violates applicable water quality standards and/or one that causes a sheen,
film, or discoloration of the surface of water or adjoining shorelines. It also includes a
discharge that may cause a sludge or emulsion to be deposited beneath the surface of the
water or upon adjoining shorelines. (See also Section 2.0 for additional reporting criteria).
• If the spill is found to be reportable, the spill coordinator will immediately notify the
NCDFNR and the USEPA as appropriate. If a spill of oil reaches navigable water, the spill
coordinator will notify the USEPA/United States Coast Guard (USCG) National Response
Center (NRC) and the NCDFNR (see Quick Reference Guide). The spill coordinator will
provide the following information:
— The date and time of the spill or release
Integrated SpiI1 Response Plan 27 Armour Lumber Mill
Rev. 2, April 2009

Part III - Preparedness & Response
C,
An estimate of the quantity of material released or spilled and the time or duration of the
event
— The exact location of the spill, including the name of the waters involved or threatened
and/or other medium or media affected by the release or spill

The name, address, and telephone number of the person in charge of, or responsible for,
the facility or activity associated with the release or spill
The extent of actual and potential water pollution
The person at the release or spill site who is in charge of operations at the site and the
telephone number of this person
— The steps being taken or proposed to contain and clean up the spill and any precautions
taken to minimize impacts
A follow-up written report must be submitted to USEPA Region IV within 60 days if th
spill exceeds 1,000 gallons or occurs within a year of a previous federally reportable oil
spill (a reportable spill as defined in 40 CFR 110 given above). The written report will
contain, at a minimum, the following information:
Name and location of the facility
Name of owner/operator
Date and year of initial facility operation
Maximum storage or handling capacity of oil of the facility and normal daily throughput
Facility description with process maps, flow diagrams, and topographical maps
SPCC plan and failure analysis —
Cause of spill with failure analysis —
— Corrective action taken with description of equipment repairs and replacements --'-

Regulatory Agencies. The criteria for reporting spills to governmental agencies are presented in Section
2.0 of this plan. The regulatory agencies and their telephone numbers for contacting purposes are listed in
the Quick Reference section of this Plan.
Records. The spill coordinator will keep a log of activities during the spill event, including the quantity
of oil spilled, recovered, and disposed of; general assessment of environmental damage; and any other
notable events that may occur during the spill and subsequent response activities. Upon completion of all
activities, he will amend the completed spill report form and prepare a chronological summary of the
incident for entry into the ISRP.

Part IV- Site Compliance Requirements
11.0 Semi -Annual Site Compliance Evaluation
Semi-annual site compliance evaluations are comprehensive inspections performed by individuals of the
Pollution Prevention Team (see Section 8 of this ISRP). These individuals should be familiar with the
facility industrial operations and SWPPP goals and requirements. Furthermore, inspectors should be able
to make necessary management decisions or have direct access to management. The semi-annual site
compliance evaluation is not to be confused with the semi-annual outfall monitoring requirements (see
Section 12.1 and 12.4 of this ISRP). However, it is recommended that the semiannual site compliance
evaluation be performed immediately after the semi-annual qualitative monitoring (12.4) so that any
issues identified in the qualitative monitoring can be further investigated during the semi-annual
compliance evaluation.
The semi-annual compliance evaluation is a review of all areas of the facility where there are potential
exposures of industrial materials to stormwater, and of all BMPs implemented to prevent or manage such
exposures. Semi-annual evaluation provides a basis for evaluating the overall effectiveness of this plan.
In particular, the annual site compliance evaluation will allow the pollution prevention team to verify that
the description of potential pollutant sources contained in the plan is accurate, that the plan drainage map
is accurate or has been updated to reflect current conditions, and that controls identified in the plan to
reduce pollutants in storm water discharges are accurately identified, in place, and working. The annual
site compliance evaluation should also identify where new controls are needed so that they may be
implemented and incorporated into the plan.
The scope of the semi-annual site compliance evaluation will depend on various factors, including the
1 scope of the SWPPP and the size and nature of the activities occurring at the facility. The process for
l�J conducting the evaluation should follow these steps:
• Inspect storm water drainage areas for evidence of pollutants entering the drainage system.
• Review all storm water analytical data accumulated since the previous compliance
evaluation.
+ Review information accumulated since the previous compliance evaluation.
• Evaluate results of inspections, monitoring data, and reports to assess the effectiveness of
measures currently being used to reduce pollutant loadings and to decide if additional
measures are needed.
• Observe structural measures, sediment controls, and other storm water BMPs to verify proper
operation.
• Inspect any equipment needed to implement the plan, such as spill kits and response
equipment.
• The General Permit requires that the SWPPP be kept up-to-date by regularly evaluating the
information in the plan for its current applicability to the site as well as monitoring analytical
results from storm water sampling in accordance with the permit requirements.
• Revise the plan as needed. Implement any necessary changes in a timely manner,

Part IV- Site Compliance Requirements
F 12.0 Storm Water Discharge Monitoring
12.1 Semi -Annual Monitoring
According to Part 11, Section B of the General Permit for storm water, the Armour Lumber Mill is
required to perform semi-annual analytical monitoring at the two stormwater outfalls that drain areas of
industrial activity. A single semi-annual analytical event must be completed during each of the following
two calendar periods: once during the period January I through June 30, and once during the period July
1 through December 31. Additionally, individual analytical monitoring events must be at least 60 days
apart. For example, if a monitoring event is performed on June 20, the next sampling event cannot be
performed until at least August 20. Results of the monitoring must be submitted to the North Carolina
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on the required standard forms (copies of the forms are included in
Appendix D ofthis ISRP).
Samples shall be collected during a "representative " storm event of at least 0.1 inches of precipitation
following at least 72 hours of dry weather (defined as a period of 72 hours during which no storm events
equal to or greater than 0.1 inches have occurred). The outfalls at various facilities, including Armour,
may respond differently to storm events such that a 0.1-inch rain event that follows 72 hours of dry
weather may not produce discharge at an outfall sufficient to be sampled. If a small storm event produces
insufficient discharge, then sampling must be postponed until a larger storm event occurs (following a
fresh 72-hour period of dry weather, of course). Note also that if a facility elects to perform sampling
during a seemingly appropriate storm event, but the rain stops prior to discharge occurring at an outfall,
then it is permissible to wait up to 10 hours for the rain to resume. If rain does not resume within 10
hours, then sampling must be abandoned and sampling must be attempted during a subsequent rain event
following a fresh 72-hour period of dry weather.
Because of the unpredictable nature of storm events, it is suggested that initial attempts to sample
stormwater focus on the first three months of a semiannual period. In the unlikely event that there is no
opportunity to collect appropriate stormwater samples during the first three months, then the final months
of a semi-annual period can serve as a backup period to assure that the required samples can be collected.
Even less likely, given the climate of southeast North Carolina, it is possible that during prolonged
drought there may be no flow at an outfall during an entire prescribed semi-annual period. In this case, a
report must still be submitted to the DWQ with a notation that there was no discharge that could be
sampled (see reporting in Section 13).
Safety Planning. It is essential that planning include development of appropriate written safety
precautions in advance of the sampling event to assure the safety of the sampling team. For example, it is
most often raining during sampling making work more difficult. Even if it is not raining, the work
surface may consist of uneven and/or slippery ground. At some outfalls, the sampling may occur near
fast flowing water, and there may be riprap under foot or a sloped embankment near the flowing water.
Areas near outfalls in remote areas may exhibit potential biohazards including poison ivy, thorns, snakes
and other reptiles, and ticks. It is suggested that for remote areas, an unobstructed path be maintained to
an outfall, and that sampling be performed by a two -person team with a hand-held means of
communication (two-way radio or cell phone). Particularly dangerous footing near a sample point should
be remedied during good weather, prior to a sampling event. Finally, if it becomes necessary to sample
in semi -darkness or full darkness, appropriate lighting must be included with the safety and sampling gear
(sampling in darkness should be avoided if at all possible).

Part IV- Site Compliance Requirements
Sample Parameters and Analytical Methods. The permit requires that samples be analyzed for the
following parameters at each outfall:
Parameter
Method
• Total Rainfall during the
Rain gauge
sampling event
• PH
Analyze grab sample using field
instrument
• Total Suspended Solids
Grab sample to be analyzed in
qualified analytical laboratory
• Chemical Oxygen Demand
Grab sample to be analyzed in
qualified anal tical Iaborator
• Oil and Grease'
Grab sample to be analyzed in
qualified analytical laboratory
Samples must be collected as soon as possible after the discharge begins. Analysis must be by an
approved EPA method listed in 40 CFR 136 that provides detection limits appropriate for comparison
with the "Benchmark Values" specified in the permit (see Section 12.2 of this Plan and also General
Permit NCG210000). Samples must be collected in the containers types specified in the EPA methods,
and the samples must be preserved in accordance with procedures specified in the method. Maximum
specified sample holding times must not be exceeded and, where specified, samples must be chilled to 4°
C from the time of collection to delivery to the laboratory.
Samples must be analyzed in a laboratory certified by the state of North Carolina for drinking
water/wastewater analysis. Appropriate chain of custody forms must be completed and accompany the
samples to the laboratory.'
12.2 Benchmark Values
The general permit includes benchmark values against which stormwater sample analytical results must
be compared. The benchmark values are found in Tables 3 and b of the permit and are summarized
an below.
Oil and grease analysis is required only if the Armour Lumber Mill vehicle maintenance operations consume an
9 i average greater than 55-gallons of crankcase and other vehicle lubricants per month. If this threshold is triggered,
the Oil and Grease analysis must be performed only at the outfall(s) that receive stormwater runoff from the vicinity
of the vehicle maintenance operation.
s If the Armour Lumber Mill contracts with a North Carolina certified laboratory to perform the analytical work, the
laboratory will typically provide the shipping cooler, sample bottles appropriate for the analytes, preservatives
required for each sample aliquot, and ice packs for maintaining the appropriate temperature during transport of the
sample to the laboratory. A properly configured sample shipment cooler would be appropriate for shipment via 24-
hour delivery service to anywhere in the US. If a local certified laboratory is available, the cooler can be transported
} to the laboratory by Mill staff.

Tier I Response. If sampling results are above a benchmark value for any parameter (or "out of range"
with respect to the pH benchmark value), then the Armour Lumber Mill shall:
1. Conduct a stormwater management inspection within two weeks of receiving sample results,
2. Identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedance,
3. Identify potential remedies and select one or more to implement: source controls, operational
controls, or physical improvements to reduce concentrations of parameters of concern or to bring
concentrations within benchmarks.
4. Implement the selected actions within two months of the "Pier I inspection (Item 1 above),
5. Record each instance of a Tier I response in this Plan. Include the date and value of the
benchmark exceedance, the inspection date, of the personnel conducting the inspection, the
selected actions, and the date the selected actions were implemented.
Tier 1[1[ Response. If during the term of the permit, sampling results from two consecutive monitoring
events are above benchmark values for any parameter (or "out of range" with respect to the pH
benchmark value), then the Armour Lumber Mill shall:
1. Repeat the actions outlined above in the Tier I Response,
Immediately implement monthly analytical and monthly qualitative monitoring (see Section 12.4
of this Plan) for all parameters at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark
value for the two consecutive samples. Monthly monitoring shall continue until three
consecutive sample results are within Benchmark Values for all parameters.
4 This benchmark is applicable only if the Armour Lumber Mill vehicle maintenance operations consume an average
greater than 55-gallons of crankcase and other vehicle lubricants per month, and would apply only to the outfall(s)
that receive stormwater runoff from the vicinity of the vehicle maintenance operation.

3. If no stormwater flow occurs during a month during the Tier If response, the Armour Mill must
still submit a monthly monitoring report indicating "no flow."
4. Maintain a record of Tier 11 responses in this Plan.
Special Requirements for Execedences on Four Occasions. If during the term of this permit the
Benchmark Values are exceeded for any parameter at any outfall on four separate occasions, the Armour
Lumber Mill must notify the DWQ Regional Office Supervisor within 30 days of receipt of the fourth
exceeding analytical result. The Regional Supervisor may require the mill to implement any of the
measures listed in Part 11, Page 7 of 10 of the permit, and/or may rescind coverage tinder the general
permit.
12.3 Representative Outfall Status (ROS)
The Armour Lumber Mill has two stormwater outfalls, Outfall 001 and Outfall 002 (see Figure 2).
Should mill management desire to reduce the monitoring burden, they can request from the North DQW
for approval to sample a single outfall as "representative" of its typical discharges for both outfalls. A
form requesting ROS (form SWU-ROS-090608) is available from the DWQ
(iittp://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/Fortns_Documents.htm). Should DWQ grant ROS status, the completed
application form and acceptance letter from DWQ should be placed in Appendix B with the copy of the
active stormwater permit.

13.0 Plan Revisions
This plan is a "living document" since it will require periodic updates, addition of data, appending of
reports, and other modifications. As explained in the Storm Water General Permit, the plan is to be
revised after each site compliance evaluation if it proves to be ineffective in controlling the discharge of
pollutants.
Armour Lumber Mill must also amend this plan whenever a change in design, construction, operation, or
maintenance impacts the potential for pollutants to be discharged. However, Armour Lumber Mill is not
required to submit a notice to the director each time the pollution prevention plan is modified unless the
director specifically requests changes to be made to the plan.
Administrative changes to this plan can be made by the facility with no involvement by the Professional
Engineer (PE). If there are no technical changes requiring the PE certification, this plan must still be
reviewed every 5 years. Any changes made to the plan that are technical in nature must be re -certified by
the PE regardless of whether or not 5 years have passed.

COC Number NC_G210023
Columbus County
Dear Permittee:
In response to your renewal application for continued coverage under stormwater General Permit NCG210000 the Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) is forwarding herewith the reissued stormwater General Permit. This permit has been reissued pursuant to
the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between the state of North
Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, dated October 15, 2007.
The following information is included with your permit package:
• A new Certificate of Coverage
• A copy of stormwater General Stormwater Permit NCG210000
• A copy of the Technical Bulletin for the General Permit
• Five copies of the Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Form
• Five copies of the Qualitative Monitoring Report Form
The General Permit authorizes discharges of stormwater only, and it specifies your obligations with respect to stormwater
discharge controls, management, monitoring, and record keeping. Please review the new permit to familiarize yourself with all
the changes in the reissued permit.
The more significant changes to the General Permit include the following:
• Permit cover page, second paragraph — The General Permit now may cover activities that DWQ determines to be similar in
either the process, or in the exposed materials, to the Timber Products industry.
• Part I Section A — A new provision that facilities draining to 303(d) listed waters, or in watersheds with an approved TMDL,
may not be eligible for continued coverage at the next renewal of the General Permit.
• Part I Section B second paragraph — A new clarification that the permit does not authorize discharges that DWQ determines
are wastewaters.
• Part Il Section A — The required contents of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been expanded and clarified.
• Part 11 Section B Table 1 — A new requirement to sample stormwater discharges twice per year for those facilities with
exposed piles of certain materials remaining on site longer than seven days.
• Part 11 Section B Tables 2 and 3 and following — For permittees with exposed piles, there are new provisions requiring the
permittee to execute Tier One and Tier Two response actions, based on the first benchmark exceedence (Tier One) and the
second consecutive benchmark exceedence (Tier Two). Tier Two requires that the permittee institute monthly monitoring
instead of twice -per -year monitoring, until three consecutive monitoring events show no benchmark exceedences.
• Part II Section B — For permittees with exposed piles, a new provision that four exceedences of any particular benchmark
will trigger increased DWQ involvement in the permittee's stormwater management and control actions. DWQ may direct
the permittee to apply for an individual permit, or may direct the implementation or installation of specific stormwater control
measures.
• Part 11 Section C — Clarification that under the qualitative monitoring provisions of the permit, the permittee is obligated to
respond to repeated observations of stormwater pollution. DWQ may impose additional stormwater management
requirements if the permittee is non -responsive, or if the responses are ineffective.
Your coverage under the General Permit is transferable only through the specific action of DWQ.

Integrated Spill Response Plan vi Armour Lumber Mill
Rpv. 2, April2009

Part I - Plan Purpose, Scope & Certifications
lA Purpose of Integrated Spill Response Plan
This integrated spill response plan (ISRP) has been prepared for the West Fraser Armour Lumber Mill
located in Riegelwood, North Carolina, in accordance with 40 CFR Part 112, Oil Pollution Prevention
and the North Carolina Department of Environmental and Natural Resources (NCDENR) storm water
regulations.
This ISRP will function as the spill prevention control and countermeasures (SPCC) plan, the storm water
pollution prevention plan (SWPPP).
1.1 Purpose of Spill Prevention, Control & Countermeasure Plan
The objective of the oil pollution prevention program is to prevent harmful discharges of oil into or upon
the navigable waters of the United States, adjoining shorelines, or into or upon the waters of the
contiguous zone, as defined in 40 CFR 110.1(g). The purpose of preparing and implementing the SPCC
plan, as described in the Oil Pollution Prevention regulations at 40 CFR 112, is "to complement existing
laws, regulations, rules, standards, policies, and procedures pertaining to safety standards, fire prevention
and pollution prevention rules, so as to form a comprehensive balanced federal/state spill prevention
program to minimize the potential for oil discharges." The SPCC plan is required for fixed facilities that:
0 Store oil aboveground at capacities in excess of 1,320 gallons; or
• Store oil underground at capacities in excess of 42,000 gallons;` and
0 Could reasonably be expected to discharge oil into the waters of the United States,
should a spill occur. � 1 zp �„rrt�d ho ZXt-,a1kA to{6
The Armour Lumber Mill requires an SPCC Plan, as the facility -wide aboveground oil storage capacity
6 totals more than 1,320 gallons, and oil discharges could potentially reach navigable waters. The
" applicable 40 CFR 112 SPCC rules are presented in Appendix A. Armour Lumber Mill does not
transfer oil over bodies of water and does not have a total oil storage capacity in excess of 1 million
gal�� thelfacilityldoes��ot needtlity to prepare an FRP isnse plan lP) peralsoPncl ded in Appe0 CFR nis dix x A.
required. A certification that
Ail 1.2 Purpose of Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
The Clean Water Act Amendments (CWAA) of 1987 required the USEPA to publish regulations to
control storm water discharges under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES).
The USEPA published storm water regulations on November 16, 1990, which require certain dischargers
of storm water to waters of the United States to apply for NPDES permits. "Waters ofthe United States"
is generally defined as surface waters, including lakes, rivers, streams, wetlands, and coastal waters.
I Under the July 17, 2002 revisions to the rules, this requirement does not apply to any USTs already regulated under the federal
U57 rules at 40 CFR 280. A UST capacity of 42,000 gallons alone would no longer trigger applicability of the SPCC rules, unless
these USTs are not regulated by 40 CFR 280. USTs regulated at 40 CFR 280 should be identified in an SPCC, but are no longer
considered in the applicability of die SPCC rules to a site.
Integrated Spill Response PIan 1 Armour Lumber Mill
Rev. 2, April 2009

Part I - Plan Purpose, Scope & Certifications
NPDES storm water discharge permits allow state and federal agencies to track and monitor sources of
storm water pollution.
According to the November 16, 1990, final rule, facilities with a "storm water discharge associated with
industrial activity" are required to apply for a storm water permit. The State of North Carolina has issued
a Certificate of Coverage under General Permit NCG210000 to the Armour lumber Mill. The Storm
Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is a requirement of the General Permit (see Appendix B of this
ISRP). This plan is a "living document" since it will require periodic updates, addition of data, appending
of reports, and other modifications. The ISRP is to be revised within 2 weeks of each site compliance
evaluation if an evaluation reveals that this ISRP is ineffective in controlling the discharge of pollutants.
Armour Lumber Mill must also amend this SWPPP whenever a change in design, construction, operation,
or maintenance impacts the potential for pollutants to be discharged. However, Armour Lumber Mill is
not required to submit a notice to the director each time the SWPPP is modified unless the director
specifically requests changes to be made to the plan. Each page of the hard copy document should be
annotated with the applicable revision date/number.
Integrated Spill Response Plan 2 Armour Lumber Mill
Rev. 2, April 2009

Part Y - Plan Purpose, Scope & Certifications
2.0 Spill Reporting
One purpose of this combined plan is to enable Armour Lumber Mill to prevent the discharge of harmful
quantities of oil to the navigable waiters of the United States. A harmful quantity of oil as defined by the
United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) in 40 CFR 110 and 112 as a discharge that
violates applicable water quality standards and/or one that causes a sheen, film, or discoloration of the
surface of water or adjoining shorelines. It also includes a discharge that may cause a sludge or emulsion
to be deposited beneath the surface of the water or upon adjoining shorelines.
The North Carolina general statutes at NCG 143-215.85(b) requires that any oil spill be reported that
meets any one of the following criteria:
• Causes a sheen on any surface water (ditch, stream, pond, river, lake, ocean), or
• . Occurs within 100 ft of such surface waters, or
• Is greater than 25 gallons, �s-Con-QOKZ / J
Under SPCC requirements at 40 CFR 112.4(a), facilities that discharge oil in amounts that exceed theO`0"A�
following thresholds must also file a written report within 60 days of the events which triggered the
threshold to the EPA Regional Administrator in Atlanta, Georgia (40 CFR 112.4(a)):
• Greater than 1000 gallons in a single discharge, or
• Greater than 42 gallons in each of two discharges, within one year.
In addition to petroleum spill reporting requirements under the SPCC rules, the State of North Carolina
general statutes regarding oil spills, and the reporting requirements under the General Permit NCG21000
for Stormwater Discharges, the Armour Lumber Mill must also adhere to reporting requirements for the
releases of non -petroleum "hazardous substances" under the federal Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) rules. Specifically, the Armour Lumber Mill is
required to report to the National Response Center at [phone] any releases of a CERCLA
hazardous substance that is:
• Greater than its respective "reportable quantities (RQ)" in any 24-hour period.
The table of hazardous substances and their respective 24-hour RQ's is found at 40 CFR 302.4.
Past spills defined by 40 CFR 110.10, 117.21 and 302.4, that occurred at the Armour Lumber Mill are to
be recorded in Table 1. During the five years prior to the date of this plan, there have been no spills or
leaks at the Armour Mill,

Rev. 2, April 2009

Part II - General Facility Information
5.0 Facility Description
Armour Lumber Mill consists of 184 acres of which 71 acres have been developed for the facility. The
facility is located 0.8 miles west of the town of Riegelwood, North Carolina on the south side of the CSX
railroad in Columbus County (latitude 34.337775 north, longitude 78.24403 west). The site mailing
address is 361 Federal Road, Riegelwood, North Carolina 28456. The facility can operate 24 hours per
day, 365 days per year. The Armour Mill location is indicated in Figure 1.
5.1 Location & Topography
The developed portion of the property is generally flat, except for the local drainages ditches. Drainage
ditches are generally man-made or natural drainages that were re -engineered during site work. The
highest points within developed portion of the property are in the northern half of the facility at up to 45
feet above mean sea level (MSL). The lowest elevations within the developed portions occur in the
southern half of the facility at approximately 33 feet MSL. All major structures at the facility, including
hazardous materials use and storage sites, are at least 35 feet MSL.
The western and southern boundaries of the developed facility are formed by a tributary of Livingston
Creek, which loops to the southwest and then to the southeast of the developed facility. This tributary
joins Livingston Creek more than 2000 feet east of the developed facility. The normal pool of the
tributary is approximately 30 feet MSL west of the facility and approximately 24 feet MSL southeast of
the facility. At its confluence with Livingston Creek, normal pool of the tributary creek is approximately
10 feet MSL.
From its confluence with the tributary, Livingston Creek meanders approximately I %Z-miles to the cast
and then 13/4-miles to the north where it meets the Cape Fear River. The Cape Fear River itself is
essentially at or slightly above sea level. Livingston Creek falls less than 3-ft per mile along its final S-
miles to the Cape Fear and is lined along both banks by wetlands. The Cape Fear flows approximately
12 —miles further cast to the upper reaches of its estuary, which opens to the Atlantic Ocean another 20-
miles south.
5.2 Site Map
The site plan (Figure 2) will help team members assess where potential storm water pollutants are located,
where pollutants could contaminate storm water, and where storm water leaves the site. The map
specifically identifies features and areas of potential pollutant sources, such as the following;
• Topography or site characteristics
• Location of exposed significant materials
+ High -risk waste -generating areas and activities common on industrial sites, such as
— fueling stations;
1-1
— maintenance;
— vehicle and equipment washing;
loading and unloading areas;

Part II - General Facility Information
— aboveground liquid storage tanks;
industrial waste management areas and outside manufacturing; and
outside storage of raw materials, byproducts, or finished products.
5.3 Process Description
Green southern yellow pine logs are transported to the facility by truck and are stored outdoors in ten
linear log rums. The logs are debarked, sawed into lumber, kiln dried, planed, and then distributed to
lumber yards by truck. Wood chips, bark chips, and saw dust generated during the process are used
beneficially. A significant portion of the bark chips is used as boiler fuel. Wood chips are transported
away from the facility by trucks to the local paper mill. There are four kilns and one boiler. Ancillary
structures and functions include a mobile equipment maintenance shop, an adjacent wash pad, a parts
building, an oil storage area, a motor fuels tank area, an office buildings, a training building, scrubber
ponds, a firewater pond and a firewater tank, and a diesel -fired firewater pump.
A variety of oils and chemicals are used in numerous locations at the Armour Lumber Mill facility.
Diesel fuel, crankcase oils and glycol anti -freezes are used for material in -plant transport equipment
(loaders, lift trucks, etc.). Hydraulic oils are also used in some of the industrial vehicles as well as in
numerous stationary hydraulic units that support various process equipment. These uses also generate
used oil. Dielectric oils are used in the electrical transformers. Non -petroleum chemicals used and/or
stored on -site include glycol antifreeze, battery acids, maintenance paints, plus sulfuric acid and other
boiler chemicals. Non -petroleum and,non-chemical industrial materials and by-products found at the mill
include bark chips, wooden skids, empty drums, welding rods, compressed gases (primarily for welding),
miscellaneous cleaning supplies, wood dusts, and wood ash from the boiler. Site refuse consists of
miscellaneous refuse office, break room and rest room solid wastes (paper, used beverage containers,
small package wastes, etc.), as well as cardboard and other industrial packaging wastes and small empty
containers.
New, purchased materials are generally transported to the plant in tanker trucks, tote bins, drums, and
boxes or on wooden skids. Lift trucks transport drums, skids and tote bins within the site. Listing of
these significant materials, as well as the storage locations and major loading and unloading areas are
presented in Table 3.
5.4 Wastewater Treatment
Sanitary waste is discharged to five septic tanks on the property, located at the following areas: mobile
shop, front office, planer building, lumber storage yard next to warehouse 42, and the shipping office.
Process wastewaters consist of boiler blow -down, kiln condensate, air compressor condensate, scrubber
water, and the wash pad runoff. These discharges enter the ash scrubber ponds located in the northeast
corner of the developed area of the facility. The wash pad run-off passes through an oil/water separator,
with the oil fraction collected in a drum. The water fraction discharges to the scrubber ponds. Most dike
water from the gasoline and diesel ASTs and other material storage dikes is uncontaminated and released
from the dikes after inspection. Any contaminated water would be disposed of as waste.

Part II - General Facility Information
{ 6.0 Inventory of Materials & Materials Transfer Operations
This plan includes a description of sources that potentially could add pollutants to storm water discharges
or that may result in the discharge of pollutants during dry weather from storm water channels at the
facility.
Petroleum -based materials as well as other chemicals are stored and handled at several locations at
Armour Lumber Mill. This section describes the facilities drainage areas, storage areas, such as storage
tanks, drum storage areas, fueling stations, non -PCB transformer oils (the transformers are owned by
Progress Energy), and transfer pumping. The site plan (Figure 2) shows the site layout and locates the oil
and chemical storage and handling areas.
6.1 Stored Materials
The Storm Water General Permit requires preparation of an inventory of materials that may be exposed to
storm water at the site, including a narrative description of the following:
• Significant materials that have been handled, treated, stored, or disposed of in a manner to
allow exposure to storm water between the times of 3 years prior to the date of permit
issuance and the present.
• Method(s) and location of on -site storage or disposal.
• Materials management practices employed to minimize contact of these materials with storm
water runoff between the time of 3 years prior to the date of the issuance of the permit and the
present.
• Existing structural and nonstructural control measures to reduce pollutants in storm water
runoff, including their locations.
• Any treatment of storm water runoff.
Table 3 provides an inventory of all materials and tanks at the Armour Lumber Mill facility that could
potentially affect storm water including chemical and oil tanks used for storage. Table 3 includes the
following information:
• Numbered Areas — These refer to a location identified on Figure 2 where petroleum or other
significant materials are stored.
• Quantity — This is the estimated total maximum storage capacity in the area. For tanks, this
is the norninal capacity. For drum storage areas, this is the total capacity when the maximum
number of drums and/or totes is in the area.
• Material Stored — This is the material stored in the area during 2003. It is possible that the
exact materials in any area will change. However, this ISRP makes the conservative
(protective) assumption of what materials are stored or can likely be stored in these areas.
Changes in the materials stored in specific areas or in total maximum capacities require
"amendments" to this ISRP.
• Preventive Feature — This summarizes the preventive feature for each facility that prevents
discharged oil from reaching a navigable watercourse. These features include "secondary

containment," which is a dike or curb with capacity for at least 110 percent of the largest
tank, and "adsorbent materials," which are materials to control spills from escaping the
immediate spill area and being exposed to storm water.
Applicable Regulations — This identifies each material as being subject to storm water
regulations, spill prevention control and countermeasures regulations, or the CERCLA
"reportable quantity" regulations. This will allow the regulation to be identified as the
regulating the identified material.

Table Notes:
1 Per the July 2002 revision of the SPCC rules, locations where petroleum product is storcd in containers greater than 55 gal must
have secondary containment. In addition, secondary containment is a best practice for certain "operational uses" of petroleum
products, especially for hydraulic systems. SPCC-based secondary containment systems must be capable of containing the contents
of the largest container, plus sufficient freeboard to contain precipitation (a minimum 10 percent additional is good engineering
practice). In the case of large numbers of tanks and drums, the containment must be at least 10 percent (plus freeboard) of the
maximum possible inventory at the location, if that is a larger quantity than a containment based on the "largest tank (plus
freebbard)" criterion. Locations where secondary containment is required by the revised regulations (or by best practice), but is not
currently in place or does not meet the minimum criteria, must be upgraded to these criteria within six months of certification of the
plan by the engineer and approval of the plan by plant management. At the time of the issuing of this plan, all storage regulated by
the SPCC rules met these criteria. Locations that are indoors or otherwise sheltered from rainfall are not regulated under the
stormwater rules, except where load and unloading occurs outside, but such indoor locations may still be subject to the SPCC rules.
6.2 In Process Materials
The SPCC regulations do not require secondary containment for "operational uses" of oil such as in
active transformers and hydraulic units. The US EPA exempts transformers from structural secondary
containment requirements under the oil filled electrical equipment interpretation. Secondary containment,
however, can be implemented as a best practice. As transformers historically have a relatively low
frequency of leaks, the vast majority of transformers in service at utility company facilities, industrial
facilities and at commercial facilities do not have secondary containment. However, the Armour Lumber
Mill has installed secondary containment at its outdoor power transformers.
Unlike transformers, hydraulic units historically experience frequent leaks, including both significant
malfunctions and chronic minor leaks. For this reason, it is considered a best practice to provide
secondary containment for hydraulic units. "Conformant" secondary containment (i.e., containment large
enough to contain the entire contents of the largest unit plus 10 percent) is not required by the regulations
for operational uses of oil. However, in the case of hydraulic units, conformant containment is
recommended for all outdoor units as well as most indoor hydraulic units over 55 gallons in capacity. It
also recommended that rain protection be provided where practicable for the outdoor units, as rain
Integrated Spill Response PIan 16 Armour Lumber Mill
Rev. 2, ,Moril2009

Part II - General Facility Information
protection reduces the complications in disposing of contaminated rainwater (a common condition within
containment at outdoor hydraulic units) and it eliminates the possibility that oil released to the dike could
be floated over the top of the containment during heavy rain events.
Most of the hydraulic units at the Armour Lumber Mill already have "conformant" secondary
containment and most are indoors (or at least under cover if not within a totally enclosed building). A
few of the indoor hydraulic units have secondary containment that would not contain a total release of the
reservoir contents, but all have containment that would hold at least 50% of the reservoir capacities.
These containment structures do a good job of containing ordinary small leaks and would also contain all
but the most catastrophic larger leaks. As the number of units without conformant secondary containment
is small and in all cases these units are not outside, no upgrades are recommended.
6.3 Facility Transfer Operations
Two areas at the site where oils are transferred from truck -to -tank or from tank -to -truck are at the Mobile
Shop and at the emergency fire pump diesel tank. The ASTs at the Mobile Shop are arranged such that
most transfer leaks, except at the truck end of the hose, and would be contained within the secondary
containment dikes. At the emergency fire water pump, diesel is transferred to the emergency fire water

hose would be outside the containment area, but at the Fill port, the hose is inside the building.

7.0 Drainage Basins & Outfalls
Refer to Figure 2 for details on the drainage ditches and Outfall locations. Also refer to Figure 3 for an
aerial photo of the facility in which the major features of the facility are visible. Potential pollutant
sources are included in the Basin and Outfall descriptions presented below. Appropriate monitoring
points are selected where the industrial discharges exit the property. Some of the monitoring points may
include combined discharges of several of the basins as defined in this Plan. The facility also samples the
discharge from the area that contains the vehicle maintenance activities per the requirements of Part 11,
Paragraph C of the General Permit.
Drainage Basin 1: Drainage Basin 1 is the northeastern portion of the site, roughly 93/4 acres.
Basin 1 includes the office, scale, the firewater pond and tank, the boiler scrubber ponds, the mobile
shop, the kilns, parts of the sawmill and planer mill, and all of the sorter and stacker (see Figure 2).
Basin Idrainage is generally from south to north with sheet flow, shallow ditches and one culvert
draining into a drainage ditch to the north of the security fence. This ditch north the fence has a
divide approximately in line with the kilns where flow to the east discharges via Outfal1001 and flow
the west discharges via Outfall 002. This divide is part of the boundary between Basins 1 and 2.
Basin Size:
Percent Impervious:
Potential pollutants:
outfall:
Approximately 9.75 acres
Approximately 25% (paved or impervious building).
TSS: Primarily in the form of wood dust (bark and sawdust), possible soil -based

Oil & Grease: Potential for fuel spills (diesel and gasoline), minor oil & grease from
use and parking of trucks and industrial vehicles, hydraulic releases (but only if the
releases somehow escape containment and reach the outdoors), from storage of
hydraulic and lubricating oils (likewise, only if the releases somehow escape
containment and reach the outdoors), from releases during transport of oils, and also
from the wash pad, (likewise, only if the releases somehow escape containment).
pH: Potential releases of boiler chemicals can impact pl-1, if such releases reach the
outdoors.

Drainage Basin 2: Basin 2 is the balance of the site, and includes that portion which drains to
the unnamed tributary of Livingston Creek (see Figures I & 2). This basin includes the log runs, the
scrap metal roll -off, the warehouses, shipping office, outdoor log stacking, the southern portion of the
sawmill and most of the planer mill. Drainage is via sheet flow, numerous shallow ditches, and
several short culverts (the latter convey water in the ditches under in -plant roads). Flow patterns of
these sub -drainages in the western portion of the basin are to the northwest or west, in the southern
portion of the basin to the south, and in the eastern portion of the basin to the southeast. All of the
numerous sub -drainages discharge to the unnamed tributary of Livingston Creek. 'me point where
this unnamed tributary discharges from the property is designated as Out ,111 002. This discharge is
currently From a persistent beaver pond.
Drainage from those sub -basins within Basin 2 where most oil and chemical storage occurs flows to
the unnamed tributary via a large stormwater retention pond, which can intercept any spills that occur
in those sub -basins. This retention pond also reduces the burden of suspended solids in the
stormwater discharges, including soil sediments from disturbed ground surfaces, earthen ditches and
plant roads, as well as wood solids (bark and sawdust).

Percent Impervious:
Potential pollutants:
Outfall:
Approximately 55.3 developed acres. (There is additional undeveloped
acreage, ill-defined, which also drains to Outfall 002)
Approximately 30% of the developed portion (paved roads, buildings, paved
log runs).
TSS: Primarily in the form of wood dust (bark and sawdust), ash and soil -
based sediments.
Oil & Grease: Minor oil & grease from vehicle use and parking of trucks and
industrial vehicles, from hydraulic releases (for inside stationary hydraulics,
only if the releases somehow escape containment and reach the outdoors), and
from the Mobile Shop.
Glycols: From vehicle leaks and from the Mobile Shop.

The Storm Water General Permit requires that each plan identify a specific individual or individuals
within the organization as members of the storm water pollution prevention team. Designating a team to
implement the pollution prevention plan serves several purposes. Naming the individual or team
members makes it clear that part of that person's job is to prevent storm water pollution. Identifying a
specific individual also provides a point of contact for those outside the facility that may need to discuss
aspects of the facility's pollution prevention plan (e.g., regulatory officials).
The team's responsibilities include performing site assessments, identifying pollutant sources and risks,
decision making oil appropriate Best Management Practices (BMPs), directing the actual implementation
of the BMPs, and evaluating the effectiveness of the plan on a regular basis. To ensure that the ISRP
remains effective, the person or team responsible for maintaining the pollution prevention plan must be
aware of any changes that are made in plant operations so that this individual or team can assess the
nature of those revisions.
Spill prevention control measures, such as diking, and staging of spill control equipment near oil and
chemical storage areas, are in place at Armour Lumber Mill. Preventive operating practices such as
routine inspection, maintenance, and security measures, and personnel training minimize the likelihood of
a major oil or chemical release and potential impacts should a release occur. However, Armour Lumber
Mill has established an emergency protocol as identified in Subsection 10.4 to notify appropriate agencies
and comply with applicable federal, state, and local regulations, should a release occur.
While a designated individual or a pollution prevention team can be assigned the job of developing and
implementing this plan, plant management is ultimately responsible for the implementation of the plan
and for compliance with all applicable storm water and oil pollution prevention requirements.

Integrated Spill Response Plan 21 Armour Lumber Mill
Rev. 2, April 2009

Part III - Preparedness & Response
9.0 Spill Prevention and Preparedness
The following structural and procedural measures are employed by the Armour Lumber Mill to prevent
spills under the SPCC requirements. These are also considered the Best Management Practices (BMPs)
under the SWPPP requirements. Appendix C includes additional guidance on BMPs that can be
considered.
9.1 Structural Measures
Secondary Containment. The SPCC rules require that the facility provide appropriate containment
and/or diversionary structures or other equipment to prevent a petroleum discharge as described in §
1 12.1(b). To meet this requirement, secondary containment is required for most petroleum tanks and
containers greater than 55 gallons capacity at the Armour Lumber Mill. Each containment system,
including walls and floor, must be capable of containing oil and must be constructed so that any discharge
from a primary containment system, such as a tank or pipe, will not escape the containment system before
cleanup occurs. The containment must be able to contain the lam of the following: the contents of the
largest container/tank, plus sufficient freeboard (10 percent extra volume is considered sufficient
freeboard), or for large quantities of drums and small containers, 10 percent of the maximum possible
inventory.
At the time this plan was issued, secondary containment existed for all regulated containers and tanks
with capacities greater than 55 gallons. The arrangements for transformers and hydraulic units are
discussed in Section 6.2.
Non -Petroleum tanks are not required by the SPCC rules to have secondary containment. However,
under the storm water rules, secondary containment is considered best practice for chemicals such as
solvents, acids, caustics, glycols, etc. At the time this plan was issued (Revision 2), all such non -
petroleum storage tanks and containers greater than 55 gallons had acceptable containment measures.
Sediment and Erosion Control. The SWPPP is required by the General Permit to consider areas of
the facility that, due to topography, activities, or other factors, have a high potential for significant soil
erosion. The majority of the plant site is paved or grassed and not subject to erosion. However,
personnel should pay particular attention to the grassed channels after heavy rainfalls to verify that no
erosion has occurred. If heavy rains have caused erosion, personnel should take immediate action to
prevent further damage and soil loss by installing sift fences and reconstructing the affected channel(s).
Site inspections should include an assessment of these areas and an evaluation of the erosion or
channeling by runoff and possible ways to improve any deficiencies noted.
9.2 Procedural Measures
Inspections, Maintenance & Records. The inspection program includes regularly scheduled
inspections by the staff and periodic inspections by the Environment, Health & Safety (EHS) department.
EHS staff performs routine inspections, Sample checklists for the inspections are presented in Appendix
D (see also the more detailed discussion in Section 14 of this 1SRP,
Integrated Spill Response Plan 22 Armour Lumber Mill
Rev. 2, Argil 2009

Part III - Preparedness & Response
r
I
During inspections, personnel observe the oil storage areas for evidence of deterioration, leakage, and
improper practices. Inspections include observation of the following:
• Deterioration of tank exteriors, tank supports, or aboveground piping
• The presence of petroleum within containment structures
• Verification that drainage valves from containment areas are closed
The presence of any petroleum spills or releases outside of controlled areas and their causes
and sources
Proper operation of sump pumps in oil storage collection sumps
Verification that spill control kits are in their proper location and that they are properly
stocked
If problems are detected, corrective actions must be taken immediately. The inspections, any problems
identified during the inspections, and the corrective actions taken must be documented. Per the SPCC
rules, the facility must keep the written procedures and a record of the inspections and tests, signed by the
appropriate supervisor or inspector, with the SPCC Plan for a period of three years. A sample tank
inspection checklist is included in Appendix D.
More comprehensive inspections or integrity testing must also be performed as follows:
For field -erected bulk storage tanks, and also shop -built tanks that are in contract with the
ground or a concrete floor or pad, conduct both periodic integrity testing of the tanks and
periodic leak testing of the valves and piping. Integrity testing should consist of ultrasonic
testing of wall thickness combined with visual inspection of both the inside and outside
surfaces of the tanks. Leak testing of piping can consist of hydrostatic pressure testing.
These activities should be performed at Armour at intervals of no less than 10 years. For
tanks that have never been tested in this manner, the first test must be performed within six
months of the approval of this plan by facility management.
For shop -built tanks that are elevated such that all sides and the bottom can be visually
inspected (i.e., set on saddles or similar), conduct a detailed visual inspection in accordance
with Standard SP001-03 of the Steel 'rank Institute at intervals of not greater than 10 years.
The inspection shall be conducted by a qualified inspector, as certified by the Steel Tank
Institute or by the American Petroleum Institute. Leak testing of associated piping can
consist of hydrostatic pressure testing. These activities should be performed at intervals of no
less than 10 years. For tanks that have never been tested in this manner, the first test must be
performed within six months of the approval of this plan by facility management.
Records of the comprehensive inspections and/or integrity tests must be kept for the life of the tank.
Oil Transfer Procedures. All tanks are manually filled under supervision of competent personnel.
Alarms are not necessary for these operations since they are manned at all times during filling. Except on
hydraulic systems, petroleum products are transferred via flexible hoses connected to the tanks. Armour
Integrated Spill Response Plan 23 Armour Lumber Mill
Rev. 2, April 2009

Part III - Preparedness & Response
Lumber Mill employees who monitor the transfers are required to know the location of spill kits and how
to use the equipment and supplies in them. These employees are also trained in the appropriate
procedures related to spill notification and initial response.
Oil. Use in Process Equipment. The Armour Lumber Mill uses some pieces of equipment that have
oil reservoirs; there are preventive measures in place to keep oil associated with this equipment from
entering storm water (Table 3). For process equipment with oil reservoirs that have capacities of less than
55 gallons, the preventive feature to contain spills are spill kits located nearby. Personnel who work in
the vicinities of this equipment receive spill prevention and response training. This equipment is included
with the inspection program. (See additional discussions in Section 6.2)
Good Housekeeping Measures. Good housekeeping is the maintenance of an orderly work
environment and contributes to the overall facility pollution control effort. Good housekeeping is
achieved through a combination of periodic employee training, motivation, and significant management
attention to details of keeping storage, production, and workshop areas clean and orderly. Good
housekeeping not only contributes to prevention of incidents, but also supports worker health and safety
programs, eliminates waste, and generally prevents deterioration of company property and equipment.
Housekeeping is the responsibility of operations personnel on each shift with support from plant
management.
The most common housekeeping issues at a sawmill revolve around the production of sawdust in many of
the processes. These issues require frequent activities to keep the yards clean of spilled sawdust, and also
to keep the hydraulic containment pans free of sawdust. The latter activity is quite important from a spill
Cprevention standpoint, as significant sawdust buildup in a containment pan can compromise the capacity
of that pan to contain a major oil release from the hydraulic unit served.
Preventive Maintenance. An effective preventive maintenance program is an important aspect of any
BMP control system. Properly maintained and inspected equipment is less likely to cause problems that
result in accidents. Armour Lumber Mill has a preventive maintenance program that specifically provides
review of equipment in areas where potential discharges to the environment exist. Where a determination
is made that insufficient attention is being paid to any item involved in the handling, storage, or transport
of process chemicals, treatment chemicals, fuels, or lubricants, these deficiencies will be brought to the
attention of the pollution prevention- team by shift supervisors. Preventive maintenance records on
applicable equipment and systems are maintained in the central plant files.
Security. Armour Lumber Mill's entries into the facility are at the main offices and the scale house.
The main office personnel and scale house operators prevent unknowing entry and to minimize the
possibility for unauthorized entry for persons and equipment onto the facility.
All process areas and areas where oil and other chemicals are stored or dispensed are well lighted. Both
photo -electrically operated and manually controlled lights are used at the facility. The entire frontage
along the CSX rail line is fenced, and the only entrance road is gated. On the other three sides of the
active portion of the site the lack of any adjacent roads, the presence of the creek, and the heavily wooded
nature of surrounding land provide a measure of security in lieu of fencing.
Storage tanks with secondary containment are equipped with either normally closed dike valves, which
are kept locked except when in use, or have secondary containment with no passive drains at all. The
m latter are emptied via blind sups using sump pumps operated by authorized personnel only. Should any

10.0 Spill Response Procedures
In spite the facility's best efforts to prevent spills of any magnitude from occurring, the possibility of a
spill does exist. The following is a summary of the pre -planned spill response procedures that facility
staff are to follow in the event of a spill.
Step 1: Stop the leak if possible, and notify your Supervisor and the EHS
Coordinator (see Quick Reference Guide). If neither of these individuals call be located, notify
the next person listed in the Quick Reference Guide.
Step 2: Immediate Response. The EHS Coordinator (or the alternate) assesses the nature
and extent of the spill and the potential threat to human life or the environment. He/She then
directs implementation of the actions needed to stop the source of the release and control the
spread of the released material or the flow of material to local surface waters. The Maintenance
Supervisor and the Area Supervisor will make resources available as needed. As warranted, the
EFIS Coordinator (or the alternate) will summon the local emergency response agencies (EMTs,
police or fire department) or the on -call outside response contractor to provide additional
resources.
Step 3: Notifications. If the spill reaches or threatens to reach waters of the state (can include
a ditch with standing water), or if the spill is a petroleum product release of greater than 25
gallons, or if the spill of a CERCLA hazardous substance exceeds its reportable quantity (RQ),
the incident must be immediately be reported to the appropriate governmental agency: the NC
DENR and/or the National Response Center. The appropriate corporate official must also be
notified. (See Quick Reference Guide for notification phone numbers).
Step 4: Cleanup and Disposal. Upon control of the spill the EFIS Coordinator will direct
cleanup and proper disposal of the contaminated residues resulting from the spill.
The EHS Coordinator (or alternate) will keep a daily log of activities during the spill event including the
nature and extent of the spill, the response actions, any outside assistance, the quantity and disposition of
the spilled materials, an assessment of environmental damage and any contact with regulatory agencies.
This information may be required to be submitted in written form to the governmental agencies at a later
date. A spill report form that outlines the information to be obtained regarding the spill is included in this
spill plan as Appendix D.
10.1 Response Measures and Equipment
Response measures include the use of absorbent materials or the construction of temporary dikes, swales,
or berms to prohibit or control the flow of spilled materials. Absorbent materials and miscellaneous
equipment that are available on site in the event of spill will be used to contain and recover spilled
materials. Sawdust absorbent is available from the facility operations in an unlimited quantity. The
facility also has heavy equipment that can be of value to spill response (i.e., front end loaders). Outside
services such as earth moving equipment and crews, disposal contractors, fire departments, and hazardous
material response teams may also be enlisted as necessary.
Integrated Spill Response Plan 26 Armour Lumber Mill
Rev. 2, April 2009

Part III -- Preparedness & Response
10.2 Outside Assistance
The spill coordinator is responsible for notifying outside emergency response organizations in the event
that their services are needed (see Quick Reference Guide for contact information). Outside assistance
may be requested for traffic control, community evacuation, fire, spill control and cleanup, and medical
emergencies. The spill coordinator is also responsible for retaining cleanup subcontractors and procuring
the necessary materials and equipment. The spill coordinator shall maintain a log of the progress of spill
response activities.
10.3 Cleanup and Disposal
Spill cleanup activities will be conducted under the general supervision of the spill coordinator who will
designate facility personnel and equipment and authorize assistance as needed. To the extent feasible, the
spilled material will be recovered and reclaimed or disposed of. Spill residues and other contaminated
materials will be characterized using MSDSs for the materials, by analyses or the available information
and disposed of in accordance with applicable regulations in a manner and at a location approved by the
spill coordinator. Any supplies or equipment depleted or destroyed, as a result of the spill or subsequent
response activities will be replaced as soon as possible.
10.4 Notification and Reporting
This subsection outlines the notification and reporting procedures to be followed in the event of a spill
and the designated personnel responsible for each notification or report. A listing of agencies and
services that may potentially be notified is given in the Quick Reference Guide at the front of this Plan.
Notifications and Reports. In the event of spill, the employee discovering the spill shall immediately
contact the Team Leader who will contact the spill coordinator. Emergency numbers for both on -site
emergency personnel and off -site emergency contacts are given Quick Reference Guide.
• If the spill poses a threat to human health or property, the spill coordinator will notify the
local sheriff, fire department, and area medical personnel as needed.
The spill coordinator will determine if the spill is reportable under federal regulations.
40 CFR 1 10 states that a reportable spill is one that discharges a harmful quantity of oil to the
navigable waters of the United States. A harmful quantity of oil is defined by the USEPA
as a discharge that violates applicable water quality standards and/or one that causes a sheen,
Film, or discoloration of the surface of water or adjoining shorelines. it also includes a
discharge that may cause a sludge or emulsion to be deposited beneath the surface of the
water or upon adjoining shorelines. (See also Section 2.0 for additional reporting criteria).
• If the spill is found to be reportable, the spill coordinator will immediately notify the
NCDENR and the USEPA as appropriate. If a spill of oil reaches navigable water, the spill
coordinator will notify the USEPA/United States Coast Guard (USCG) National Response
Center (NRC) and the NCDENR (see Quick Reference Guide). The spill coordinator will
provide the following information:
— The date and time of the spill or release
Integrated Spill Response Plan 27 Armour Lumber Mill
Rear. 2, April 2009

Part III - Preparedness & Response
— An estimate of the quantity of material released or spilled and the time or duration of the
event
The exact location of the spill, including the name of the waters involved or threatened
and/or other medium or media affected by the release or spill
The source of the release or spill
The name, address, and telephone number of the person in charge of, or responsible for,
the facility or activity associated with the release or spill
The extent of actual and potential water pollution
The person at the release or spill site who is in charge of operations at the site and the
telephone number of this person
The steps being taken or proposed to contain and clean tip the spill and any precautions
taken to minimize impacts
A follow-up written report must be submitted to USEPA Region IV within 60 days if the
spill exceeds 1,000 gallons or occurs within a year of a previous federally reportable oil
spill (a reportable spill as defined in 40 CFR 110 given above). The written report will
contain, at a minimum, the following information:
Name and location of the facility
Name of owner/operator
Date and year of initial facility operation
Maximum storage or handling capacity of oil of the facility and normal daily throughput
Facility description with process maps, flow diagrams, and topographical maps
SPCC plan and failure analysis
Cause of spill with failure analysis
Corrective action taken with description of equipment repairs and replacements
Additional preventive measures taken or contemplated to minimize the possibility of
recurrence
Other information pertinent to the SPCC plan or spill event
Following the incident, the spill coordinator should complete the spill report form in
Appendix D.
Regulatory Agencies. The criteria for reporting spills to governmental agencies are presented in Section
2.0 of this plan. The regulatory agencies and their telephone numbers for contacting purposes are listed in
the Quick Reference section of this Plan.
Records. The spill coordinator will keep a log of activities during the spill event, including the quantity
of oil spilled, recovered, and disposed of; general assessment of environmental damage; and any other
notable events that may occur during the spill and subsequent response activities. Upon completion of all
activities, he will amend the completed spill report form and prepare a chronological summary of the
incident for entry into the ISRP.
Integrated Spill Response Plan 28 Armour Lumber Mill
Rev. 2, April 2009

Part IV- Site Compliance Requirements
11.0 Semi -Annual Site Compliance Evaluation
Semi-annual site compliance evaluations are comprehensive inspections performed by individuals of the
Pollution Prevention Team (see Section 8 of this ISRP). These individuals should be familiar with the
facility industrial operations and SWPPP goals and requirements. Furthermore, inspectors should be able
to make necessary management decisions or have direct access to management. The semi-annual site
compliance evaluation is not to be confused with the semi-annual outfall monitoring requirements (see
Section 12.1 and 12.4 of this ISRP). However, it is recommended that the semiannual site compliance
evaluation be performed immediately after the semi-annual qualitative monitoring (12.4) so that any
issues identified in the qualitative monitoring can be further investigated during the semi-annual
compliance evaluation.
The semi-annual compliance evaluation is a review of all areas of the facility where there are potential
exposures of industrial materials to stormwater, and of all BMPs implemented to prevent or manage such
exposures. Semi-annual evaluation provides a basis for evaluating the overall effectiveness of this plan.
In particular, the annual site compliance evaluation will allow the pollution prevention team to verify that
the description of potential pollutant sources contained in the plan is accurate, that the plan drainage map
is accurate or has been updated to reflect current conditions, and that controls identified in the plan to
reduce pollutants in storm water discharges are accurately identified, in place, and working. The annual
site compliance evaluation should also identify where new controls are needed so that they may be
implemented and incorporated into the plan.
The scope of the semi-annual site compliance evaluation will depend on various factors, including the
scope of the SWPPP and the size and nature of the activities occurring at the facility. The process for
_.-. conducting the evaluation should follow these steps:
• Inspect storm water drainage areas for evidence of pollutants entering the drainage system.
• Review all storm water analytical data accumulated since the previous compliance
evaluation.
• Review information accumulated since the previous compliance evaluation.
Evaluate results of inspections, monitoring data, and reports to assess the effectiveness of
measures currently being used to reduce pollutant loadings and to decide if additional
measures are needed.
• Observe structural measures, sediment controls, and other storm water BMPs to verify proper
operation.
• Inspect any equipment needed to implement the plan, such as spill kits and response
equipment.
• The General Permit requires that the SWPPP be kept up-to-date by regularly evaluating the
information in the plan for its current applicability to the site as well as monitoring analytical
results from storm water sampling in accordance with the permit requirements.
• Revise the plan as needed. Implement any necessary changes in a timely manner.
Integrated Spill Response Plan 29 Armour Lumber Mill
Rev. 2, April 2009

Part IV- Site Compliance Requirements
12.0 Storm Water Discharge Monitoring
12.1 Semi -Annual Monitoring
According to Part I1, Section B of the General Permit for storm water, the Armour Lumber Mill is
required to perform semi-annual analytical monitoring at the two stormwater outfalls that drain areas of
industrial activity. A single semi-annual analytical event must be completed during each of the following
two calendar periods: once during the period January I through June 30, and once during the period July
I through December 31. Additionally, individual analytical monitoring events must be at least 60 days
apart. For example, if a monitoring event is performed on June 20, the next sampling event cannot be
performed until at least August 20. Results of the monitoring must be submitted to the North Carolina
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on the required standard forms (copies of the forms are included in
Appendix D of this ISRP).
Samples shall be collected during a "representative " storm event of at least 0,1 inches of precipitation
following at least 72 hours of dry weather (defined as a period of 72 hours during which no storm events
equal to or greater than 0.1 inches have occurred). The outfalls at various facilities, including Armour,
may respond differently to storm events such that a 0.1-inch rain event that follows 72 hours of dry
weather may not produce discharge at an outfall sufficient to be sampled. If a small storm event produces
insufficient discharge, then sampling must be postponed until a larger storm event occurs (following a
fresh 72-hour period of dry weather, of course). Note also that if a facility elects to perform sampling
during a seemingly appropriate storm event, but the rain stops prior to discharge occurring at an outfall,
then it is permissible to wait up to 10 hours for the rain to resume. If rain does not resume within 10
hours, then sampling must be abandoned and sampling must be attempted during a subsequent rain event
following a fresh 72-hour period of dry weather.
Because of the unpredictable nature of storm events, it is suggested that initial attempts to sample
stormwater focus on the first three months of a semiannual period. In the unlikely event that there is no
opportunity to collect appropriate stormwater samples during the first three months, then the final months
of a semi-annual period can serve as a backup period to assure that the required samples can be collected.
Even less likely, given the climate of southeast North Carolina, it is possible that during prolonged
drought there may be no flow at an outfall during an entire prescribed semi-annual period. In this case, a
report must still be submitted to the DWQ with a notation that there was no discharge that could be
sampled (see reporting in Section 13).
Safety Planning. It is essential that planning include development of appropriate written safety
precautions in advance of the sampling event to assure the safety of the sampling team. For example, it is
most often raining during sampling making work more difficult. Even if it is not raining, the work
surface may consist of uneven and/or slippery ground. At some outfalls, the sampling may occur near
fast flowing water, and there may be riprap under foot or a sloped embankment near the flowing water.
Areas near outfalls in remote areas may exhibit potential biohazards including poison ivy, thorns, snakes
and other reptiles, and ticks. It is suggested that for remote areas, an unobstructed path be maintained to
an outfall, and that sampling be performed by a two -person team with a hand-held means of
communication (two-way radio or cell phone). Particularly dangerous footing near a sample point should
be remedied during good weather, prior to a sampling event. Finally, if it becomes necessary to sample
in semi -darkness or full darkness, appropriate lighting must be included with the safety and sampling gear
(sampling in darkness should be avoided if at all possible).

Samples must be collected as soon as possible after the discharge begins. Analysis must be by an
approved EPA method listed in 40 CFR 136 that provides detection limits appropriate for comparison
with the "Benchmark Values" specified in the permit (see Section 12.2 of this Plan and also General
Permit NCG210000). Samples must be collected in the containers types specified in the EPA methods,
and the samples must be preserved in accordance with procedures specified in the method, Maximum
specified sample holding times must not be exceeded and, where specified, samples must be chilled to 4°
C from the time of collection to delivery to the laboratory.
Samples must be analyzed in a laboratory certified by the state of North Carolina for drinking
water/wastewater analysis. Appropriate chain of custody forms must be completed and accompany the
samples to the laboratory?
12.2 Benchmark Values
The general permit includes benchmark values against which stormwater sample analytical results must
be compared. The benchmark values are found in Tables 3 and 6 of the permit and are summarized
below.
' Oil and grease analysis is required only if the Armour Lumber Mill vehicle maintenance operations consume an
average greater than 55-gallons of crankcase and other vehicle lubricants per month. If this threshold is triggered,
the Oil and Grease analysis must be performed only at the outfall(s) that receive stormwater runoff from the vicinity
of the vehicle maintenance operation.
3 If the Armour Lumber Mill contracts with a North Carolina certified laboratory to perform the analytical work, the
laboratory will typically provide the shipping cooler, sample bottles appropriate for the analytes, preservatives
required for each sample aliquot, and ice packs for maintaining the appropriate temperature during transport of the
sample to the laboratory. A properly configured sample shipment cooler would be appropriate for shipment via 24-
hour delivery service to anywhere in the US. If a local certified laboratory is available, the cooler can be transported
to the laboratory by Mill staff.

Benchmark values are not standards against which to compare compliance. Instead they represent trigger
levels above which certain actions are required by the Armour Lumber Mill, and in some cases
notifications to DWQ most be made.
Tier I Response. If sampling results are above a benchmark value for any parameter (or "out of range"
with respect to the pH benchmark value), then the Armour Lumber Mill shall:
1. Conduct a stormwater management inspection within two weeks of receiving sample results,
2. Identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedance,
3. Identify potential remedies and select one or more to implement: source controls, operational
controls, or physical improvements to reduce concentrations of parameters of concern or to bring
concentrations within benchmarks.
4. Implement the selected actions within two months of the Tier I inspection (Item I above),
5. Record each instance of a Tier I response in this Plan. Include the date and value of the
benchmark exceedance, the inspection date, of the personnel conducting the inspection, the
selected actions, and the date the selected actions were implemented.
Tier II Response. If during the term of the permit, sampling results from two consecutive monitoring
events are above benchmark values for any parameter (or "out of range" with respect to the pH
benchmark value), then the Armour Lumber Mill shall:
1. Repeat the actions outlined above in the Tier I Response,
2. Immediately implement monthly analytical and monthly qualitative monitoring (see Section 12.4
of this Plan) for all parameters at every outfalI where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark
value for the two consecutive samples. Monthly monitoring shall continue until three
consecutive sample results are within Benchmark Values for all parameters.
4 This benchmark is applicable only if the Armour Lumber Mill vehicle maintenance operations consume an average
greater than 55-gallons of crankcase and other vehicle lubricants per month, and would apply only to the outfall(s)
that receive stormwater runoff from the vicinity of the vehicle maintenance operation.

�~ 3. If no stormwater flow occurs during a month during the `Pier If response, the Armour Mill must
still submit a monthly monitoring report indicating "no flow."
4. Maintain a record of Tier II responses in this Plan.
Special Requirements for Exceedences on Four Occasions. If during the term of this permit the
Benchmark Values are exceeded for any parameter at any outfall on four separate occasions, the Armour
Lumber Mill must notify the DWQ Regional Office Supervisor within 30 days of receipt of the fourth
exceeding analytical result. The Regional Supervisor may require the mill to implement any of the
measures listed in Part II, Page 7 of 10 of the permit, and/or may rescind coverage under the general
permit.
12.3 Representative Outfall Status (ROS)
The Armour Lumber Mill has two stormwater outfalls, Outfall 001 and Outfall 002 (see Figure 2).
Should mill management desire to reduce the monitoring burden, they can request from the North DQW
for approval to sample a single outfall as "representative" of its typical discharges for both outfalls. A
form requesting ROS (form SWU-ROS-090608) is available from the DWQ
(http:l/h2o.enr.state.nC.us/stil1-orms Documents.htm). Should DWQ grant ROS status, the completed
application form and acceptance letter from DWQ should be placed in Appendix B with the copy of the
active stormwater permit.
12.4 Qualitative Monitoring Requirements
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of representative
outfall status. Qualitative monitoring shall include the following evaluations.

Part IV- Site Compliance Requirements
13.0 Plan Revisions
This plan is a "living document" since it will require periodic updates, addition of data, appending of
reports, and other modifications. As explained in the Storm Water General Permit, the plan is to be
revised after each site compliance evaluation if it proves to be ineffective in controlling the discharge of
pollutants.
Armour Lumber Mill must also amend this plan whenever a change in design, construction, operation, or
maintenance impacts the potential for pollutants to be discharged. However, Armour Lumber Mill is not
required to submit a notice to the director each time the pollution prevention plan is modified unless the
director specifically requests changes to be made to the plan.
Administrative changes to this plan can be made by the facility with no involvement by the Professional
Engineer (PE). if there are no technical changes requiring the PE certification, this plan must still be
reviewed every 5 years. Any changes made to the plan that are technical in nature must be re -certified by
the PE regardless of whether or not 5 years have passed.
