Skvarla, III Secretary On May 23, 2013, Jenny Graznak of this office performed a General Stormwater Permit Inspection at Edwards Wood Products in Alamance County, North Carolina. This facility holds General Stormwater Permit No. NCG210320 under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) to discharge Stormwater associated with the manufacture of Timber Products, Don Blair, General Manager, was present for the inspection. This type of inspection consists of two basic parts: a review of facility files and self -monitoring data, and an on -site inspection of the facility and its outfalls. 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 will expire July 31, 2013. A copy of the.most recent permit was available for review during the inspection. 2. Records/Reports As required by the Permit, the facility has a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) that was available for review during the inspection. J. Thurman Horne of Horizon Engineering assists Edwards Wood with the requirements of the stormwater permit. He visits the site twice per year and keeps the SPPP current and updated. Employee Training occurs'on an annual basis. 3. Facility Site Review Edwards Wood manufactures lumber. The raw timber and finished lumber are stored outside. The lumber goes through a fungicide/stain inhibitor dip process before placement on the yard. Sprinklers run most of the time to keep the logs in a constant state of moisture. The sprinkler water is continuously recycled from three ponds on site. These ponds typically do not discharge except during significant rain events. The sprinkler does not usually operate during winter months. The manufacturing process also generates wood chips, sawdust, and mulch. According to Mr. Blair, none of these materials are stored on the yard for longer than seven days at a time. Ms. Graznak observed only a few small piles of chips and mulch during her inspection of the site. A 750-gallon off -road diesel tank and a 500-gallon gasoline tank are stored outside with partial cover and secondary containment structures.

Effluent/Receiving Waters The site has three stormwater discharge outfalls. Outfails 001 and 002 are pipes that discharge from the stormdrain system on the property. Outfall 003 is a set of pipes that discharge from recycle water pond #3 on site. This pond was discharging during Ms. Graznak's inspection due to a heavy rain that had just occurred the night before. Mr. Blair reiterated that this pond does not typically discharge. Stormwater discharges from this site drain to North Prong of Rocky River (Class WS-III) in the Cape Fear River Basin. The three ponds on site are set up in series. A catch basin adjacent to the raw timber collects the recycle spray water and transfers it to pond #1. Pond #1 overflows to pond #2, and water from pond #2 is pumped to the spray system. Pond #2 overflows to pond #3, which discharges to the stream during heavy rains. 5. Self -Monitoring Program The permit requires semi-annual qualitative monitoring at all stormwater outfalls. Ms. Graznak determined during her inspection that all parameters were evaluated per the specifications of the permit. Analytical monitoring requirements are waived at this site since the permit states that semi- annual analytical sampling is not required for facilities, where chips, bark, and mulch stay on the site for seven days or less. 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.

Attachments: EWP Site Plan.pdf Sherri, Corey: i would like to find a time for all of us to discuss the current operations and permitting of this facility in light of the recent site visit performed to evaluate their closed loop recycle system permit application, WQ0036290. The site holds stormwater permit NCG210320 and also operates a recycle system for their wet decking operation. Our visit revealed a number of issues that will make permitting the ponds as a non -discharge system difficult as -is (setbacks to surface waters, freeboard, dam integrity, etc) and also raised concerns about the impact of stormwater discharges from the site as well as the appropriate classification of those discharges (i.e. stormwater vs wastewater). In any case, we need to resolve a few issues internally before responding to Edwards. I don't think this will require more than about an hour of discussion. Would any of the following times next week work for a conference call for both of you? Monday 3:OOpm or Thursday 10:30am or Friday 1:30pm Please let me know if you are available. Thanks.

We have investigated the matter of the storage of chips, bark and mulch at the Liberty Plant and have corrected and/or amended procedures whereby no such generated materials will be allowed to stay on site and exposed to stormwater for greater than seven (7) days. Henceforth, our procedures will require that all such materials be removed on a routine basis and no such materials generated will be allowed to remain on site in any location exposed to stormwater (rain, snow, etc.) for more than seven (7) days prior to removal. We regret that this oversight occurred but we appreciate you calling it to our attention so that we could get our procedures corrected. If you have any questions or need any additional information, please do not hesitate to call me (704-624-5098), our plant General Manager, Mr. Don Blair (336-622-7537) or our consultant, Mr. J.

This facility holds General Stormwater Permit No. NCG210320 under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) to discharge Stormwater associated with the manufacture of Timber Products. Don Blair, General Manager, was present for the inspection. This type of inspection consists of two basic parts: a review of facility files and self -monitoring data, and an on -site inspection of the facility and its outfalls. 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. A copy of the most recent permit was not available during the inspection. Please make certain that the General Manager has a copy of the current permit. 2. Records/Reports As required by the Permit, the facility has a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) that was available for review during the inspection. The SPPP was last updated June 24, 2010. Thurman Horne is a private consultant who assists Edwards Wood with the requirements of the storm water permit. He visits the site twice per year and also keeps the SPPP current and routinely updated. Employee Training in environmental awareness and procedures occurs on an annual basis. 3. Facility Site Review Raw materials (logs) and finished product (untreated lumber) are stored outside. The lumber goes through a fungicide/stain inhibitor dip process before placement in storage outside. Sprinklers run most of the time to keep the lumber in a constant state of moisture. The rinse water is continuously recycled from the two onsite ponds. These ponds are not designed to discharge. Petroleum tanks are maintained under cover with secondary containment or are double -walled. Since vehicle maintenance is done by a third party, the motor oil tank is almost empty and will soon be removed from the site. There are also piles of mulch that stay on the site for 2-3 weeks, according to Mr. Blair. Sawdust is stored in bins until removal from site.

Effluent/Receiving Waters The site has 2 stormwater discharge outfalls (SDOs). The exact location of SDO # 001 could not be found during the inspection due to overgrown vegetation on the slope. However, no problems were noted with respect to the condition of the outfall areas. Stormwater discharges from this site drain to North Prong of Rocky River (Class WS-lll) in the Cape Fear River Basin. The stream runs adjacent to the property. No visible solids or discoloration were noted. 5. Self -Monitoring Program The stormwater permit requires semi-annual qualitative monitoring at all stormwater outfalls. These reports were not available at the facility on the day of the inspection, since they are maintained by Mr. Horne. Please make sure that the facility has copies of all reports and documentation for the storm water permit. These reports were delivered to Ms. Graznak the following day and showed that all parameters were evaluated per the specifications of the permit. The permit also requires semi-annual analytical monitoring at all storm water outfalls. However, this monitoring has not been performed since Mr. Horne was under the impression that it was not required. The permit states that sampling is not required for facilities where chips, bark, and mulch stay on the site for seven days or less. According to Mr. Blair, these materials stay on site longer than seven days (approximately 2-3 weeks at a time) and therefore monitoring would be required. Due to this insufficiency,_ this inspection report is being sent as a Notice of Deficiency,_ and the issue should be corrected immediately. Ms. Graznak will be in touch in the coming months to make certain that monitoring requirements are being met. On -site vehicle maintenance monitoring requirements at the site are waived, since these activities at the site do not use more than 55 gallons on new motor oil per month (average). Please refer to the attached report for further details from the inspection'. If you have any questions concerning this report, please contact Ms. Graznak or me at (336) 771-5000. Sincerely, Steve W.

Stormwater discharges from this site drain to North Prong of Rocky River (Class WS-Ill) in the Cape Fear River Basin. The stream runs adjacent to the property and appeared to be in good shape. 5. Self -Monitoring Program The stormwater permit requires semi-annual qualitative monitoring at all stormwater outfalls. These reports were not available at the facility on the day of the inspection, since they are maintained by Mr. Horne. Please make sure that the facility has copies of all reports and documentation for the storm water permit. These reports were delivered to Ms. Graznak the following day and showed that all parameters were evaluated per the specifications of the permit. The permit also requires semi-annual analytical monitoring at all storm water outfalls. However, this monitoring has rot been performed since Mr. Hcrne was under the impression that it was not required. The permit states that sampiirg is not required for facilities where chips, bark, and mulch stay on the site for seven days or less. According to Mr. Blair, these materials stay on site longer than seven days (approximately 2-3 weeks at a time) and therefore monitoring would be required. Due to this insufficiency, this inspection report is being sent as a Notice of Deficiency, and the issue should be corrected immediately. Ms. Graznak will be in touch in the coming months to make certain that monitoring requirements are being met. On -site vehicle maintenance monitoring requirements at the site are waived, since these activities at the site do not use more than 55 gallons on new motor oil per month (average).

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 II 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 I I 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 II 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.
