Q Stormwater Permit NCG210000 °- Y
Technical Bulletin for NCG210000, Volume IV
What activities are covered by this general permit?
Lass Revised 3/ 18/2011
NCG210000 allows stormwater discharges associated with establishments primarily engaged in Timber
Products [standard industrial classification (SIC) 241 and activities deemed by DWQ to be similar in the proc-
ess and/or the exposure of raw materials, products, by-products, or waste materials. In 2011, the general
pernut was modified to cover discharges from Wood Chip Mills, which were previously excluded.
Excluded: Wood Kitchen Cabinets [SIC 2434] and Wood Preserving [SIC 2491].
What are the key permit requirements?
• Implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) (Part 11, Section A).
• Provide secondary containment for all bulk storage of liquid materials (Part II, Section A, 2.(b)).
• Perform and document qualitative monitoring during a representative storm event (Part 11, Section Q.
• Perform analytical monitoring twice per year if storing exposed piles of sawdust, wood chips, bark, mulch, or
like materials on site for more than seven (7) days and submit the results on the monitoring report forms pro-
vided with the permit (Part II, Section B).
What has changed since the last renewal?
Some of the major changes since the last renewal include:
• Twice per year monitoring of pH, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) for
facilities storing exposed piles of sawdust, wood chips, bark, mulch, or like materials for longer than a week.
• Refinements and clarifications to the SPPP requirements; refer to Part 1I, Section A.
• Tiered response requirements for benchmark exceedences based on analytical results, and direction to notify
the Regional Office in the event of four benchmark exceedances. Benchmarks are not limits.
• Twice per year qualitative monitoring during a representative storm event.
• Requirement to use forms provided by the Division to record qualitative monitoring results.
• Perform analytical monitoring twice per year for any vehicle maintenance area (Part 11, Section D).
What are BMPs, and why are they important?
The SPPP should include 'Best Management Practices" (BMPs) to control discharge of pollutants from a facil-
ity's stormwater outfalls. BMPs include a variety of things that help minimize potential for pollutants to get
into the stormwater draining from a facility. There are different types of BMPs:
Non-structural (practices or activities) BMPs include:
* Eliminating exposure of materials and equipment wherever possible by moving them to indoor locations.
* Practicing good housekeeping on -site. Handle and store materials at the facility in an orderly fashion.
* Exchanging hazardous materials for non -hazardous ones wherever possible.
* Establishing routine leak & maintenance checks to minimize chance of spills. Clean up spills immediately.
* Establishing bulk storage tank protocols that minimize the risk of spills during loading and unloading.
* Store used pallets and process waste dumpsters inside or under roof so water can't flow on or around them.
Structural (equipment or devices) BMPs include:
Containment dikes around the loading areas of bulk liquid storage containers.
* Changing painting operations from liquid systems to powdered systems that do not generate solvent waste.

Frequently Asked Questions
Could I be exempted from an
NPDES stormwater permit?
Possibly. A facility with industrial
activity subject to the NPDES
Stormwater regulations that elimi-
nates all potential stormwater ex-
posure may be eligible for a No
Exposure Exclusion from a permit.
A facility that meets this condition
may submit a No Exposure Certifi-
cation application (see our website
below).
What if I sell my business, or
the name changes?
This change is a minor modifica-
tion and requires the Director's
approval. Complete the Name/
Ownership Change Form SWU-
239, , available on our website:
http:l/portal. ncdt:t} r•.cir�**Iwef�hvgl
w Isu
Do 1 have to monitor all the
outfalls?
Yes. However, you may request
Representative Outfall Status
(ROS). If approved, this status
allows analytical monitoring at
fewer outfalls. To request ROS,
submit a ROS Request Form SWU-
ROS to the DWQ Regional Office.
The form is available on our web -
site (see above).
Other resources
In addition to the Stormwater Per-
mitting Unit's website above, the
Division of Pollution Prevention
and Environmental Assistance is a
valuable resource. The DPPEA
has specific information about how
to minimize pollutants at various
industries. Call [phone]
or visit:
http://www.p2pays.org/
Does a certified lab need to
analyze my samples?
Monitoring under all NPDES per-
mits must be conducted in accor-
dance with test procedures ap-
proved under federal regulations in
40 CFR §136. Labs certified by
North Carolina perform analysis in
accordance with those procedures.
N.C. certification requirements do
not apply to stormwater only dis-
charges, but data gathered under
an NPDES permit must conform to
federal requirements. Using a cer-
tified lab is one way to ensure com-
pliance. A list of certified labs is
available from: litt.11:1/
port:a ].Helen r.art.;lu-c1>l�r-clll.tblcerl.!
Note that pH is a field parameter
and must be measured within
15 minutes. You must train on -
site staff to measure pH using ap-
proved methods or contract with
commercial services. All entities
with field parameter certification
per 15A NCAC 2H .0800 can ana-
lyze pH in accordance with federal
procedures (see website for list).
How big of a pile triggers
monitoring?
The permittee must perform ana-
lytical monitoring if the facility
stores exposed piles of sawdust,
wood chips, bark, mulch, or similar
materials for longer than seven (7)
days. The permit does not specify a
LAST REV. 31191t I
size threshold because a large area
covered in "small mounds" could
impact stormwater as much as one
large pile. if reasonable judgment
tells you there are piles on site,
monitoring is required unless that
material is removed within a
week. Also, removing only the top
portion of piles and leaving signifi-
cant amounts of material on the
bottom does not satisfy the
monitoring exemption. Further-
more, in some cases DWQ may
determine leachate from such piles
is a wastewater. The facility
should prevent discharge of pile
leachate as much as possible.
Do I have to keep a record of
every little piece of sawdust to
prove I don't have to monitor?
No. However, if the facility "opts
out' of analytical monitoring be-
cause it removes piles within a
week's time, DWQ expects the fa-
cility to keep a record of when the
material was generated, and when
and how it was removed to demon-
strate short periods of storage.
If I'm sampling my discharge,
do 1 do qualitative monitoring
at the same time?
We advise you to. The permit does
not specify it, which was an over-
sight. However, if you are subject
to analytical monitoring, it is prac-
tical to do both at the same time.

Hi Darlene,
See below. We have some guidance on this one that will help you out, too. Go to the intranet site
(http://Portal.ncdenr,org/group/1lstormwater-guidance) and scroll down to the "NCG21 Timber Products" part of the
accordion menu. There you'll find an inspector's guide (set of slides) to which facilities must monitor under this permit
that Myrl Nisely in RRO and Ken Pickle put together several years ago when this permit was renewed. Ok, see below for
specifics. -Bg

Hi again,
I promise not to keep sending these but I appreciate getting some guidance here as I get cranked up on the particulars of
how you do things.
I. This site was last visited in 2009 and was compliant. Records are good and up to date.
2. They document using less than 55 gal/mo of oil Ok, so they aren't subject to Vehicle Maintenance monitoring in
Part II, Section D. You are correct, oil and grease (Method 1664 SGT-HEM) does not apply here.
3. They do not store sawdust, etc, but they do store hardwood logs outdoors for minimal time frames. Ok, so it
sounds like they're not subject to the analytical monitoring in Part II, Section B, either. In that section, the
General Permit says, "A facility that retains exposed accumulations (either exposed to incident precipitation
or exposed to stormwater run on) orsawdust, wood chips, bark, mulch, or other similarly sired material on
site for more than seven (7) days is required to monitor and report all the site stormwater discharges for
the parameters in Table 1." It also requires a sign off from the RO (which it sounds like Chuck did) and still
must submit monitoring reports that say "Released from Monitoring by DWQ Regional Office." (I guess that was
still the case at the time, so no need to revise unless DEMLR makes a separate call.)
4. All the products are finished and stored indoors and under cover.

5. They have 2 outfalls : one outfall is a rip rap ditch that essentially drains nothing but driveway. Outfall #3 drains
the site through a ditch that runs across the site into their ww pond and recycle pond (to be
decommissioned). If there are any contaminants, they will be here.
6. Ben Parton understood Chuck's report to say he didn't have to do analytical monitoring due to #2, #3 and #4
above. I told him I was fairly sure he needed to monitor Outfall #3 anyway. I think he is honest in his
misunderstanding. Actually, I think Mr. Parton is correct here. However, there are some other action items in
the permit that should have followed (see Part II, Page 4 of 10). Not sure if Chuck sent a formal release letter or
just mentioned it in his report, or if Mr. Parton has followed the instruction to submit semi-annual reports with
the notation that he was released from analytical monitoring. However, it's important to note that Qualitative
Monitoring at all outfalls (regardless of representative status) should still be performed.
Question: Can he do a representative outfall status for Outfall 43? And can they drop the oil and grease? See
above. Let me know if I haven't answered your questions.
Thanks again! No more SW inspections planned for a bit, so you can take a break from me! No problem! Glad to
help. -Bg

Inspection Summary:
The inspector met Mr. Michael Parton and Mr, Ben Parton on site. Ben Parton accompanied the inspector on the facility
inspection.
The site was found to be in compliance with their stormwater permit. Records were in good order and housekeeping
practices seemed adequate.
Some clarification was given regarding stormwater outfall locations and analytical monitoring requirements, as follows:
-- Stormwater monitoring, both qualitative and quantitative should take place where concentrated stormwater leaves the
site or enters a stream
-- if less than 55 gallons of new motor oil is used per month for vehicle maintenace, the analytical monitoring of
stormwater using the oil and grease method from the maintenance area is not required.
-- Under the newly revised permit, analytical monitoring is required if the facility retains exposed (either exposed to
incident precipitation or exposed to stormwater run on) piles of sawdust, wood chips, bark, mulch, or other similar material
on site for more than seven (7) days.
The status of the wastewater recycle pond was discussed. According to Mr. Parton, the log sprinkler system is no longer
in operation and will be decommissioned per DWQ Aquifer Protection Section Closure Guidelines.
According to the site tour, six (6) stormwater discharge outfalls requiring monitoring were identified. Representative
Outfall Status might be a viable option to reduce analytical sampling needs.
The inspection revealed that historical stream channel modifications had been undertaken on -site. The inspector
explained that no work shall take place in stream channels without proper authorization.

Dear Mr. Parton:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection form from the
inspection that I conducted on March 3, 2009. The facility was found to be out of compliance
with permit WQ0020680 for the following reason. There was very little freeboard remaining in
the recycle pond. The pond, even though it contains mostly stormwater, should be pumped
down as soon as possible to prevent an overflow and discharge to surface waters. Please
notify me when the pond has been pumped.
You indicated that the recycle facility has been shut down since October of 2006 with no
intention of resuming operation. if you should desire to have the permit rescinded,.the recycle
pond would need to be closed out according to Aquifer Protection Section Closure Guidelines
and submittal of a rescission request. In the meantime the pond must be maintained according
to permit conditions. I would recommend that you contact Chuck Cranford (828-296-4500) with
the Surface Water Section, Asheville Regional Office, to see if your stormwater permit might be
modified to allow for diversion of stormwater from the recycle pond.

Inspection Summary:
The recycle system was shut down in the fall of 2006 due to high operational costs. Inventory has been reduced so that
logs are not kept on the wet deck area long enough to require wetting, Mr. Parton indicated that they do not plan to use
the recycle system again.
The recycle pond was full of stormwater. Even though the system is no longer in use, the pond must be maintained to
prevent overflow and discharge to surface waters. Maintenance of the pond should include freeboard records (see Permit
Conditions 11.6. & 7., III. 3.); embankment maintenance i,e.removal of trees, shrubs and woody vegetation from darn, etc.
(see Permit Condition 11.8.)
The pond should be pumped down as soon as possible to prevent discharge to surface waters.
The permit cannot be rescinded until the recycle pond has been closed according to Aquifer Protection Section Closure
Guidelines.

Figuring What They Have To Do
® So, some facilities must sample twice per year.
You must judge which facilities must analyze!
Determine if they are required to have the permit; and
If they have piles of sawdust, bark chips, wood chips, mulch
chips, boiler fuel chips, or similar materials on site; and
If the materials are on site for longer than 7 days*; and
If the size of the pile (or the combination of piles in one
subdrainage arehas a maximum dimension greater than
25 ft.;
Then they must sample, analyze, and report results twice
per year for pH, TSS, and COD.
® *If a facility seeks to opt out of the twice -per -year monitoring
requirement by maintaining at all times a chips or sawdust
inventory less than seven days old, the facility must maintain
records establishing the 7-day maximum on site, This
documentation is undefined at this time. However, €7WQ
inspectors will inspect the records.
