3. Facility Site Review
This facility mills lumber from raw timber of various species. It's operations have greatly reduced from
where they were several years ago. Now they employ 5 people, including Mr. and Ms. Braxton: No
analytical monitoring is required since all sawdust, wood chips, bark and mulch is either stored under cover
or in trailers and is not allowed to accumulate onsite. The mill has one outfall. It was observed at the time of
inspection and had a small amount of running water which was clear and odorless.
4. Effluent/Receiving Waters
Stormwater from this site discharges into Cane Creek (Class C, NSW) of the Cape Fear River Basin,
S. Self -Monitoring Program
Analytical Monitoring: This site is not required to provide analytical monitoring under current operating
procedures. ^
6. Qualitative Monitoring: All qualitative records do not need to be submitted to DEMLR, however, the
records must be kept on file at the facility for a period of five years. This site is required to complete
qualitative monitoring twice annually. Monitoring records were current and available for review at the time
of inspection.

Subject: General Stormwater Permit Inspection — NPDES General Permit NCG210248
Braxton's Sawmill — Alamance County
Dear Mr. Braxton:
On November 9, 2010, Jenny Graznak of this office performed a Stormwater Permit
Inspection at Braxton Sawmill located at 7519 Lindley Mill Road in Graham, North Carolina.
This facility holds General Stormwater Permit No. NCG210248 under the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) to discharge Stormwater from activities classified as
Timber Products. You and your wife Wanda Braxton were present for the inspection. This type
of inspection consists of two basic parts: an in -office review of facility files and self -monitoring
data and an on -site inspection of the facility's discharge. This particular -inspection evaluated
five (5) areas, and observations from each area are addressed below:
1. Permit
'The permit became effective August 1, 2008 and expires July 31, 2013.
2. Records/Reports
After the last inspection of this facility in 2006, a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP)
was created for the site. A copy of this document was received by our office on April 17, 2006.
There are site and location maps, which describe the site's storage practices and show the
location of the storm water outfall.
3. Facility Site Review
Due to the recent economy, Braxton Sawmill has downsized considerably since the last
inspection in 2006. In regard to fuel storage, there is one 1,000 gallon tank and one 1,500
gallon tank maintained inside the shop building with a covered roof. However, very little fuel is
stored on site at this time. No vehicle maintenance is done on site. The amount of logs and
lumber maintained on site is much reduced. Sawdust, woodchips, mulch, and bark are stored in
trailers and then immediately removed from the site. None of these materials were on site
during the inspection.
4. Effluent/Receiving Waters
Stormwater from the property discharges to Cane Creek (Class C, NSW) in the Cape Fear River
Basin. The facility has two containment ponds to collect stormwater runoff from the site.
Overflow from Pond #1 discharges to Pond #2, and overflow from Pond # 2 discharges to

surface waters (i.e. Stormwater Discharge Outfall). No discharge was observed at the time of
the inspection.
5. Self -Monitoring Program
The permit requires you to perform inspections of the Stormwater Discharge Outfall on a semi-
annual basis. Records from these inspections were available during the inspection. This facility
is exempt from analytical monitoring requirements due to the fact that sawdust, wood chips,
bark, and mulch are not maintained.at the site for longer than seven (7) days, as stated in the
permit. On -site vehicle maintenance monitoring requirements at the site are also waived, since
these activities at the site do not use more than 55 gallons on new motor oil per month
(average).
We appreciate your efforts to comply with NPDES General Permit NCG210248. If you
have any questions concerning this letter or the attached inspection report, please contact Ms.
Graznak or me at [phone].
Sincerely,
Steve W. Tedder.
