Compliance Evaluation Inspection
NPDES General Stormwater Permit No. NCG210123
Currie MITI & Distribution Center
Pender County
Dear Mr Shibley:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
A Compliance Evaluation inspection of the Currie Mill & Distribution Center was conducted by Dean
Hunkele from this office on September 6, 2012. This inspection was to verify thatthe facility is operating
in compliance with the conditions and limitations specified in NPDES Permit No. NCG210123. The findings
and comments noted during this inspection are provided in the enclosed copy of the Compliance
Inspection Report.
The facility was found to be operating without a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. Furthermore, no
documented evaluations and monitoring data for collected samples were available even from the previous
two ownership entities. However, following a review of the site the inspector believed that the current
use and condition of the site by your group would allow it to qualify a No Exposure Certification.
Consequently, it should apply for such using the application that will be provided via email to Mr. Triolo
and on our website along with other information here: http:Z/portal.ncdenr.org/webwci/ws/su/npdessw
If you have any questions concerning this Notice of Violation or the enclosed inspection report, you may
contact Dean Hunkele at the letterhead contact information or via email at [e-mail].

,r✓ ` Permit: NCG210123 Owner • Facility: Inter -Continental Hardwoods LLC
Inspection Date: 09/06/2012 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
This was an unannounced visit/inspection,
It was disappointing to find that the facility had no plan or data given that a permit for the site has existed since 1993 but
with several different owners and their specific use for the site/facility.
That being said, a review of the site revealed that the current use and condition of the site by the current owner which
recently has changed indicates that this facility could qualify for a No Exposure Certification. Consequently, it should
apply for such using the application that will be provided via email and on our websile along with other information here:
http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wqlws/su/npdessw
A Notice of Deficiency is being issued for failure to have a plan and follow the requirements of the permit. The facility
needs to apply for & obtain the No Exposure in response or develop & follow a Plan for the permit.

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 II Section A — The required contents of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been expanded and clarified.
• Part II 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 II 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 Il 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.
