Technical Assistance
Mr Hart request NCDEQ's assistance to determine the need and required size of a new
sediment/skimmer basin to be installed in what will be a landfill area The area is currently
pasture It's well vegetated and far upstream from the stormwater discharge location on the
Louisiana Pacific (LP) property
Inspectors felt that a new basin may not be needed unless a substantial area is exposed by
development or landfill activities LP is not required to provide an additional basin at this time
If it appears that a new basin will be needed at a later date, NCDEQ will inform LP of that
requirement and all ow adequate time to construct the measure
Analytical and Qualitative Monitoring will be required downstream of the new facilities The
new monitoring location must be determined and the SPPP siteplan must be updated to include
its location

Inspection Summary
(See Technical Assistance Letter)
This Inspection was conducted at Mr Harts request He wants to make sure that he stays compliant with his permits and
wanted to know if he needed to Install a new sediment/skimmer basin Inspectors did not believe a new basin would be
needed since most of the area is well established in permanent vegetation and the majority will not be disturbed The
monitoring location for this area will need to be determined and the addition made to the SPPP siteplan If it appears at a
later date that a basin is needed UP will be notified at that time

Dear Mr Lowe
Ornamental Products LLC (Ornamental) requested Phoenix Environmental, Inc sample
stormwater at the above referenced location in accordance with NC General Permit #210000
This report summarizes results of the sampling event
On October 27, 2015 a storm system moved through the area and produced sufficient rain to
qualify as an event (--- 1' + estimated at the OPI site by 9 am) The rain started intermittently at
—4 am and at approximately 8 am heavier rainfall moved into the area and Stormwater from
outfall 004 was sampled The total event produced + 64' of rain at the KNCARCHD2 gauging
station (Archdale, NC) The recovered samples were immediately placed on ice and shipped to
R&A Laboratories, Inc in Kernersville, NC for analysis (BOD & TSS) The sample analytical
results are shown in Table I (see Appendix A) The Stormwater Discharge Outfall (SDO)
Qualitative Monitoring Report is contained in Appendix B As seen in Table 1, the laboratory
results are well within Benchmark Values published for NC General Permit #2l0000

Outfalls 001 — 004 were inspected as part of the SDO monitoring It is noted there is continuing
erosion at outfall 003 A joint of the concrete pipe has ei oded out of the bank and Iles in the
creek On the sampling date, erosion around the discharging end of the RCP at outfall 003 (in the
bank of the drainage system) did not appear to be of concern This is expected to change through
time as water discharging from the pipe slowly erodes soil below the pipe until the pipe joint
falls off -

Hi Aana,
Last two years outfall data
High TSS values for OF 2 and OF 4 are from roadway and gravel lot (OF2) and gravel roads that flow to OF 4 Vegetated
swales help, but hard ram for short time overwhelms the vegetation High COD at OF4 is surprising since there is no
apparent source, except for rotting vegetation near the spring

n -#r response to4m4r-Feeeff-Fneet}ng-end/4equest for reduced monitoring frequency for TSS and COD for all
three outfalls +he DWQ reviewed your monitoring data, which showed exceedance of benchmark values
that required you to perform monthly monitoring for TSS and COD Please refer to the following
revisions
Outfalls #00t, #002, #003
Beginning February 1, 2013 begin to monitor semi-annually for COD, TSS, and pH as defined in
the permit You should continue to monitor semi-annually for these parameters through the
current permit cycle, which is July 31, 2013
2 During compliance evaluation inspections the regional office will address best management
practices and stormwater characteristics as part of the inspection process

FACILITY
Louisiana Pacific Corporation (LP) — Roaring River site manufactures smooth one-sided
hardboard The facility purchases chips (softwood/hardwood) or chips scrap wood on -
site, the chips are washed/screened, the chips are digested/pulped, the pulp slurry is
then molded, then the resulting product is treated (via temperature/pressure) to make
smooth one-sided hardboard The wastewater is discharged into the Yadkin River
under the Terms and Conditions listed in the NPDES Permit NCO005266

Stormwater
The facility had numerous benchmark exceedances for COD and TSS at outfalls 001,
002, 003 The facility performed monthly monitoring from October 2010 to present
The data revealed benchmark exceedances from 102 mg/ L to 1042 mg/ L for TSS, and
from 121 mg/L to 704 mg/L for COD
LP Corporation Roaring River
Page 1
LP has been manufacturing at this site since the 1970s, and the facility predates the
issuance of stormwater permits in North Carolina The site was not originally designed
with stormwater controls in mind LP has been proactive prior to stormwater
permitting by installing stormwater basins and some basic best management practices
to control flow
Although the benchmark exceedances for COD and TSS appear to be high, they are
actually negligible when compared to the NPDES discharge limits with an IWC of 1 3%
in the Yadkin River It is important to recognize that the first flush is the most
concentrated, therefore, heavy rain events will not produce high exceedances
The NPDES permit is meeting toxicity limits and the Yadkin River does not
demonstrate any biological impairment It seems reasonable to assume the stormwater
is not endangering the Yadkin River
MONITORING
The RO feels that the monitoring frequencies for TSS and COD can be reduced to
semi-annual monitoring over the life of the permit Upon expiration of the permit LP
can request reduced monitoring from the RO During compliance evaluation
inspections the RO would evaluate the LP site for BMPs and changes in stormwater
characteristics
PROPOSED ACTIONS
Schedule a meeting with LP to discuss the current representative sampling technique,
and any stormwater BMP changes that will be implemented by LP Discuss the RO
position to return to semi-annual monitoring for the life of the General Permit The
semi-annual monitoring waiver can be evaluated prior to the issuance of the next
stormwater permit cycle

Background information
a Louisiana Pacific, Roaring River, NC NCG210355
b TSS COD benchmarks routinely exceeded pH benchmark not an issue
c LP has a dry detention settling basin on outfall #001, no controls at all on #002, dry
detention on #003 Even in subdrainage areas with controls (#001 and #003)
some portion of the normal rainfall flows bypasses the controls Data analysis from
the three outfalls suggests that the stormwater controls are grossly inadequate for
the conditions
d Monthly monitoring instituted by WSRO around Oct 2010, yielding partial results
from 25 sampling events from Jan 2009 through July 2012
e LP will soon begin sampling a previously unidentified fourth outfall Comparatively
low risk industrial activities apparently, are planned for this new subdrainage area
f Purpose of this review WSRO has invited SPU consultation on what is a difficult set
of circumstances This review is Intended to outline possible paths for regulatory
action at LP under NCG21
Data analysis
a pH 4 pH exceedances out of 71 measurements By inspection, conclude that
pH is not a priority issue at this facility No more consideration of pH in this review
b TSS
i 36 TSS exceedances out of 68 measurements Benchmark of 100 mg/L
ii Exceedances range from 102 mg/L to 1042 mg/L, averaging 316 mg/L The i
values below the benchmark averaged 46 5 mg/L Aggregate data averaged
189 mg/L
ni Outfalls #001 had 12/24 exceedances, #002 had 16/21 exceedances, #003
had 8/23 exceedances
COD
i 46 COD exceedances out of 70 measurements Benchmark of 120 mg/L
u Exceedances range from 121 mg/L to 704 mg/L, averaging 244 mg/L Values
below benchmark averaged 73 mg/L Aggregate data averaged 185 mg/L
in Outfalls #001 had 15/25 exceedances, #002 had 14/22 exceedances, #003
had 17/23 exceedances
Correlation of COD and TSS Observe that 9 of the 12 TSS exceedances at #001
coincided with COD exceedances at that outfall, 11 of the 14 COD exceedances at
#002 coincided with TSS exceedances at that outfall, 8 of the 8 TSS exceedances at
e#003 coincided with COD exceedances at that outfall Interpret good correlation
between COD and TSS exceedances suggests common source and raises the
passFbihty that effective measures to control one parameter might control a J
significant portion of the other ;
Conclusions of data review Exceptionally good data set compared to what most '
stormwater permittees are able to accumulate in response to performance problems
(1) Unlikely that continued monthly monitoring without site changes has much
benefit Monthly monitoring maybe beneficial to guickly evaluate subsequent site
changes, if site changes are implemented (2) Benchmark exceedances are not }
occasional, infrequent, or flukes, and establish a lack of effective control by the
plant stormwater controls stems It seems probable that the original stormwater
control design has been Inadequate from the beginning Probably fruitless to pursue
the question, What in the world did you use as a design basis/design objective for

your stormwater control system2 It could not possibly have been compliance with
your stormwater permit "
3 Significance concerns
a Impacts the Yadkin River is the receiving water, and provides substantial dilution for
stormwater flows In stream impacts may be minimal — this recognition should
figure into our actions, but should not work to eliminate meaningful progress in
water quality protection by LP
b Costs So far, LP has essentialiyspent nothing to improve pollutant removal from
the_stormwater discharges_[However, construction costs in a densely developed - _ _
industrial site can be large It seems an approach that focuses on doing the cheap
stuff first and then seeing what works, might be the approach favored by LP
However, rLP must be made to understand that they are going to have to spend
money on addressing their egregious performance to date+
c Permit requirements We re talking about benchmarks not limits, ie these
exceedances are not permit violations, but still, industries are obligated to keep their
pollutants on their sites & not discharge them into NC waters,
d LP will want to know how we will identify the endpoint of any forward path involving
construction of an effective stormwater control system This is a `significance issue
in the sense of understanding today the potential future costs they _will _incur as a
result ogpoilutant control actions we_require of them 1
--------------------
4—DWQ objectives in these circumstances
a Improve the protection of water quality beyond LP s current poor performance
b Preserve the integrity of the permit requirements and the permitting program
c Impose reasonable requirements avoid unreasonable burdens on the permittee Be
fair
d Communicate expectation that company will perform a thorough analysis to
demonstrate cost benefit and/or infeasibility of possible solutions and treatment
approaches, not just back of the envelope guestimates to dismiss big projects It
doesn t have to be perfect, but it has to be solid and persuasive
Potential elements of the candidate paths forward for LP
a Hire an environmental/civil engineer experienced in large scale industrial site
projects to evaluate alternatives and to design new treatment practices Doubtful
that this work can be accomplished in house by LP Look at sites in other states
b Get a physical features and elevations survey of the whole plant site
c Require better control of polluted discharges from LP
d Require affirmative action from LP in pursuit of the control of stormwater pollutants
e aRequire milestones & interim progress markers set by WSRO and-
reviewed/approved -.similar-to a Compliance Order perspectiv
f Allow for a protracted time frame where appropriate
g Source reduction, if possible? Examples Can boiler fuel storage piles be moved or
covered? Can the company evaluate possible collection and reuse of rainwater to
supplement raw water for process provided by river?
h More effective treatment - any treatment at all would be an improvement in #002
I One outfall and its subdrainage area at a time might help spread out capital costs
j DWQ administrative solutions should follow only after LP attempts at site
management solutions and engineering solutions However, some accommodation
to more frequent monitoring might be considered at this stage if milestones and
progress markers are set by WSRO

k Let LP choose the path forward via a mechanism of they propose a plan, and we
approve the plan and they execute the plan and then confirm performance back to
us 4
6 Synthesis of all of the above Apparent potential paths forward
a QlPath la The trivial no action alternative Keep things as they are today, along with
monthly sampling Central Office does not recommend this path
b 'Path lb Another form of the trivial no action alternative Revert back to semi
annual sampling and keep things the way they are today Central Office does not
recommend this path either Neither of these two alternatives addresses the
problem of polluted discharges
c c-Path 2 A first pass outfall by outfall plan focused on a treatment approach rather
than a source reduction approach, subsequent confirmation sampling to determine
which outfalls require a second pass
i Set up Flow measurement devices on all three outfalls to characterize the flow I
rate and volume as a design basis input parameter for the following structural
measures Obtain a physical features and elevations survey of the site and i
the stormwater system }
ii All outfalls where can vegetation and infiltration be improved prior to i
1
discharges I
in Outfall #001 Smallest of the three drainage areas with only 17 BA and only
7A impervious Engineering solution approach No significant extra land
available Convert existing dry detention basin into gross solids settling basin
paired with a wet well for stormwater pumps to convey flow to either of the
treatment measures to be constructed in #002 or #003 Re work the creek
piping to segregate that Flow from the contaminated stormwater flow as much I
as possible
iv Outfall #002 Site management and engineering solution approach
Portions of the approx 5 5A gravel parking lot to be made available for
treatment measures, finished product lay down area to be re configured to
accommodate the treatment measures Note that the main discharge line 1
from #002 is —20 deep at the sampling manhole, but the endpoint is 20
above the river according to site personnel This means that at some point
along its run, it is at grade we did not see the run of the pipe down to the 1
river well enough to now for sure that existing topo can be modified to
accommodate this approach LP to hire a civil engineer to investigate the I
feasibility of this approach
v Outfall #003 Primarily an engineering solution approach Engineer to i
re -design the dry detention basin Instead of one large basin, reconfigure into
a treatment train, with pretreatment settling for gross solids removal
followed by vegetated or wet detention treatment If a third unit will fit in the
train, consider vegetated or infiltration with underdrain collection practices
Approximately 2A of land is readily available Evaluate going back up the
pipe and segregating the stormwater flows from the creek flow on the north
half of the property Rework of the spill containment basin may be required
depending on the details of the connections Evaluate localized containment
of the boiler fuel storage area
vi Outfall #004, new Act now to prevent the perverse action of piping the
creek under the plant and dumping contaminated flows into it underground
vii This scheme is subject to modification of the details, and the determination
that portions of it are infeasible, based on site conditions or costs But, I
Page 4 of 4
don t see how LP can address this problem without some capital costs And I
don t see how we can administratively let them off the hook for better
performance that path might be interpreted as DWQ totally defaulting on
our responsibility to pursue the protection of the waters of North Carolina
vnl DWQ posture 1We acknowledge the great dilution in the Yadkin by not
pressing forward and requiring rigid observation of the benchmark values if
LP will commit to installing_BMPs to address the pollutants_as_fai as.is
feasible t _ - - _ _
+Path 3 I A hot spot source flow reduction approach that includes both site
management and engineering solutions
I Outfall #001 Direct wood chip storage pile drains into the WWTP rather than
the #001 sediment basin Other portions of DA #001 continue through the
sediment basin
ii Outfall #002 for TSS - Pave the large gravel truck loading and finished
product lay down area For COD - direct wood chip storage pile drains to the
WWTP, rather than to the stormwater outfall
III Outfall #003 Direct boiler fuel storage areas into the WWTP Spill Basins #1
and #2 and bleed through the WWTP Or dig a new basin adjacent to WWTP
Spill Basins #1 & 2 Other portions of #003 continue through the current dry
detention basin
iv Difficulties with this approach include opening up the wastewater permit for
modifications According to WSRO, a difficult approach Further LP reports
that the facility is near capacity as is (but not completely at capacity - I guess
it may be a question of how much more would this approach add, and how
much more can the WWTP take )
Path 4 Stormwater Re use opportunities? Can the company perform an
engineering evaluation of possible options and a cost benefit analysis?
Path 5 - ???
END
- Commmt[b3l lagree This is consistent with
our evaluation of the risk to water quality but It i
should not alleviate LP's responsibility to make
irnpmvemenu to the quality of storrrmater
discharges leaving their site

Permit # NCG210355
Wilkes County
Dear Mr Hart
On August 29, 2012 a Compliance Evaluation Inspection was performed by George Smith and Corey Basinger, both
of this office Cyndi Karoly, Bethany Georgoulias, and Ken Pickle, of the Stormwater Permitting Unit were present
in order to evaluate the Tier 2 stormwater measures and Louisiana-Pacific Corporation request for decreased
monitoring for COD and TSS The following Louisiana-Pacific Corporation representatives were present Mr Roy
Hart, Mr Tim Lanier, and Mr Scotty Mathis The purpose for the inspection was to evaluate the drainage areas that
are exceeding the benchmark values for Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD)
Permit
The NPDES general permit became effective on August 1, 2008 and expires on July 31, 2013 The following
Sections of the permit are applicable to this site
I Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (Part II, Section A)

Facility Site Review
Logs are stored in the yard then chipped, digested, and used to make fiberboard
Outfall #001 receives stormwater from timber (logs) in this drainage area Also, Outfall #003 receives a small
portion of stormwater from the chipping operation, stormwater in the grassed ditches along of the railroad track, and
sawdust piles Per our previous discussion during 2009, the COD may be reduced if the stormwater detention pond
was periodically maintained and would dram at a faster rate The basin at the time of this inspection was not
effectively draining the water, which may contribute to higher COD values We understand there is a level of
maintenance required to keep the stones from clogging with solids I believe that more frequent maintenance is
needed, but I do not know how much lower the COD values would be reduced
Outfall #002 receives stormwater from storage of large sawdust piles, and drainage from a graveled storage area The
periodic exceedence of the benchmark value for TSS is most likely from the fines in the gravel area The TSS may
be able to be reduced by making a small pit or weir that would allow the fines to settle just prior to the sampling
point Of course, this would have to be periodically maintained
Outfall #003 received stormwater from old wood chips and fibers The basin has a grass bottom with little water
remaining accumulated The basin drains the stormwater more quickly that outfall 001
Scotty Mathis discussed the possibility of using skimmers At first thought I did not think these would be useful, but
my second thought is that these may help drain the water quickly in outfall 001, if sized properly An engineering
evaluation of the drainage is needed
Self -Monitoring Program
The facility had all qualitative monitoring records on -site, as required by the permit
The analytical monitoring data was submitted in an excel spreadsheet
We would like to thank you and the all the staff for taking the time and interest in resolving the Tier two response for
stormwater We do think that a reduced monitoring frequency is warranted, but at this time we are not able to give a
reply We will evaluate the site visit with the Stormwater Permitting Unit and get back with you as soon as possible
The compliance evaluation inspection is satisfactory If you have any questions please contact George Smith or me
at (336) 771-5000

Subject RE Stormwater Monitoring Event [Data 2010-2012 As
Folks,
Clarification
I've just exchanged emails with George, and I think I understand the circumstances at Louisiana Pacific a little better
now In my note below, I missed or forgot the fact that LP has been sampling monthly as per WSRO direction while they
tried to develop an engineering approach to the benchmark exceedances These circumstances are now made more
difficult because it appears that engineering alternatives have been evaluated, and the costs involved with engineering
responses (BMPs) may be pretty high They are apparently at a dead end

I owe you this file I have separated it into individual outfalls for TSS and COD and calculated individual statistics for each
in prep for next weeks meeting
Topics to discuss
Permit Renewal guidance OK, the permit boilerplate is confusing on this point and we will be rectifying that when
the permit is renewed next year DWQ SPU will initiate the renewal process — 6 months before the expiration date
of the General Permit, 7131113 They only need to respond to our mailer when it comes to them next year
Reduction of Tier sampling requirements Yes, I agree We're not going to learn anything more from continuing
monthly sampling They have enough data now to support a corrective approach Maybe we want to work in
some increased sampling into a BMP requirement, but monthly sampling ad inftnitum seems too much now
They could have pulled the trigger on this two years ago, perhaps they were hoping the data would get better
Representative Outfall designation Well, #002 is the hottest for TSS, and #003 has the greatest proportion of COD
exceedances (17 hits out of 23 data points = 74% exceedances) #001 is not significantly better than the others,
however It's much easier to consider ROS when you can just drop the least threatening outfall Let's listen to
see if they have a proposal
Outfall addition OK, let's see what they are planning, and help them forecast any impact on their permit
compliance
BMP discussion Yes, this would be a good topic for the meeting After the site tour We need to see the ground
conditions in order to advise them
Other? Yes Since January 2009, how have you attempted to address the last 44 months of nearly continuous
monthly and quarterly exceedances? We need to know what has been tried, and whether they have seen any
benefit Also any evidence of in -stream impacts?
Are we still expecting 4 (you Corey, two permit writers)?
Hope the weather cooperates

Hey Corey,
I was entering the SW DMR data for NCG210355 and saw they had some TS5 and COD exceedences They also had some
things wrong with their DMR form — attached —so I called them Billy Thompson at the site seemed pretty concerned and
said they had sampled again and had not sent in that data yet but it wasn't looking good either He asked what he could
do I talked to Ken about it and called him back but he hasn't called back yet
I was going to tell him to contact you to discuss proactive measures He wondered if he would need an individual permit
but I don't think that is necessarily necessary —we are already testing for TSS and COD They have a WW permit— but
can't take any more water— its already at capacity His name is Billy Thompson — 336-696-3410, email
billy thompson@lpcorp com
Questions I was going to ask — per conversation with Ken
• What industrial activities are you doing at this site?
• What is the site layout like?
• How long has the mulch pile been there?
Where is the spray field?
We'd like to be involved in helping them with a solution/identifying their problems, or at least hear what the outcome
is I am sure you know this is an evolving part of our program and we'd like to stay on top of it —we've had similar
problems with other mulch/bark piles
Please feel free to contact him as well and when/if I talk to him I will send him your way
Thanks Corey)
Jeri
On the Louisiana Pacific site there may be a couple of tough issues we will have to confront under their coverage under
NCG21
- When are we going to call the stuff from the bottom of a bark pile, 'wastewater"? This site may present an early
instance for us to make this determination
- If they can contain the leachate from the bark pile on site, perhaps the remaining discharge could be construed as
from the general operating area, but not from a bark pile, and we could then go ahead and potentially consider the
other flows as stormwater What I'm suggesting is that if possible they should eliminate the discharge from the
bark pile Potentially this would go a long way toward reducing TSS and COD exceedences
- Let's alert Corey B, or whoever is assigned as WSRO, that we have a pending issue with this NCG21 site
- As I understand it, DWM has regulations prohibiting a waste pile So, if the site contact is telling you that the pile
has been therefor years, we may want to drop a dime on these guys with WSRO-DWM This guy Chris will be able
to tell you if he's the guy, or if someone else needs to be involved
- Does the on site spray field deserve closer examination as a potential or partial solution for their circumstances?

Dear Mr Thompson

Secretary
On December 3, 2009 a Compliance Evaluation Inspection was performed by George Smith, of this office Mr Billy
Thompson was present for the inspection The purpose for the inspection was to evaluate the drainage areas that are
exceeding the benchmark values for Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD)
Permit
The permit identifies the monitoring required for this facility
l Part II, Section A - Stonnwater Pollution Prevention Plan
2 Part II, Section B - Analytical Monitonng
3 Part H, Section C - Qualitative Monitoring
4 Part H, Section D - On -Site Vehicle Maintenance Monitoring
Records & Reports
An excellent site plan was developed, which clearly identified all three (3) stormwater outfalls The plan was kept in
a notebook binder All nine items required if the Plan were well documented
Facility Site Review
Logs are chipped, digested, and used to make fiberboard
Outfall 4003 receives stormwater from timber (logs) in this drainage area Also, Outfall #003 receives a small
portion of stor nwater from the chipping operation, stormwater in the grassed ditches along of the railroad track, and
sawdust piles Per our discussion, the COD may be reduced if the stormwater detention pond was periodically
maintained and would drain at a faster rate

Outfall #002 receives stormwater from storage of large sawdust piles, and drainage from a graveled storage area The
periodic exceedence of the benchmark value for TSS is most likely from the fines in the gravel area The TSS may
be able to be reduced by making a small pit or weir that would allow the fines to settle just prior to the sampling
point Of course, this would have to be periodically maintained
Outfall #001 received stormwater from a old wood chips and fibers The basin has a grass bottom with little water
remaining accumulated The basin drains the stormwater quickly and therefore does not allow time for the COD to
develop A rock check dam could be constructed just prior to the sampling point in order to reduce the chance of a
TSS benchmark exceedence
Self -Monitoring Program
The facility had all qualitative monitoring records on -site, as required by the permit
The analytical monitoring for on -site vehicle maintenance is performed from Outfall #002
The analytical monitoring for all 3 outfalls is performed Outfall #003 is on Tier Two, and requires monthly
monitoring
Representative sampling from the following locations is required
• Outfall #00I — In the channel downstream of the stormwater basin
• Outfall 4002 — In the manhole adjacent to the gravel lot
• Outfall #003 --- In the culvert across the railroad track, just prior to entering the property of Certain Teed
The compliance evaluation inspection is satisfactory If you have any questions please contact George Smith or me

Study sheet Louisiana Pacific Roaring River possible further responses to Tier 3 status
9/13/2012
kbp, bg
Background information
a Louisiana Pacific, Roaring River, NC NCG210355
b TSS, COD benchmarks routinely exceeded pH benchmark not an issue
c LP has a dry detention settling basin on outfall #001, no controls at all on #002, dry
detention on #003 Even in subdrainage areas with controls (#001 and #003),
some portion of the normal rainfall flows bypasses the controls Data analysis from
the three outfalls suggests that the stormwater controls are grossly inadequate for
the conditions
d Monthly monitoring instituted by WSRO around Oct 2010, yielding partial results
from 25 sampling events from Jan 2009 through July 2012
e LP will soon begin sampling a previously unidentified fourth outfall Comparatively
low risk industrial activities, apparently, are planned for this new subdrainage area
f Purpose of this review WSRO has invited SPU consultation on what is a difficult set
of circumstances This review is intended to outline possible paths for regulatory
action at LP under NCG21
2 Data analysis
a pH 4 pH exceedances out of 71 measurements By inspection, conclude that
pH is not a priority issue at this facility No more consideration of pH in this review
b TSS
1 36 TSS exceedances out of 68 measurements Benchmark of 100 mg/L
n Exceedances range from 102 mg/L to 1042 mg/L, averaging 316 mg/L The
values below the benchmark averaged 46 5 mg/L Aggregate data averaged
189 mg/L
ni Outfalls #001 had 12/24 exceedances, #002 had 16/21 exceedances, #003
had 8/23 exceedances
c COD
i 46 COD exceedances out of 70 measurements Benchmark of 120 mg/L
n Exceedances range from 121 mg/L to 704 mg/L, averaging 244 mg/L Values
below benchmark averaged 73 mg/L Aggregate data averaged 185 mg/L
ni Outfalls #001 had 15/25 exceedances, #002 had 14/22 exceedances, #003
had 17/23 exceedances
d Correlation of COD and TSS Observe that 9 of the 12 TSS exceedances at #001
coincided with COD exceedances at that outfall, 11 of the 14 COD exceedances at
#002 coincided with TSS exceedances at that outfall, 8 of the 8 TSS exceedances at
#003 coincided with COD exceedances at that outfall Interpret good correlation
between COD and TSS exceedances suggests common source, and raises the
possibility that effective measures to control one parameter might control a
significant portion of the other
e Conclusions of data review Exceptionally good data set compared to what most
stormwater permittees are able to accumulate In response to performance problems
(1) Unlikely that continued monthly monitoring without site changes has much
benefit Monthly monitoning may be beneficial to quickly evaluate subsequent site
chances, if site changes are implemented (2) Benchmark exceedances are not
'occasional; 'infrequent, or 'flukes , and establish a lack of effective control by the
plant stormwater control systems It seems probable that the original stormwater
control design has been Inadequate from the beginning Probably fruitless to pursue
the question, "What in the world did you use as a design basis/design objective for
4
Page 2 of 4
your stormwater control system? It could not possibly have been compliance with
your stormwater permit "
3 Significance concerns
a Impacts the Yadkin River is the receiving water, and provides substantial dilution for
stormwater flows In -stream impacts may be minimal - this recognition should
figure Into our actions, but should not work to eliminate meaningful progress In
water quality protection by LP
b Costs So far, LP has essentially spent nothing to improve pollutant removal from
the stormwater discharges However, construction costs in a densely developed
industrial site can be large It seems an approach that focuses on doing the cheap
stuff first, and then seeing what works, might be the approach favored by LP
However, LP must be made to understand that they are going to have to spend
money on addressing their egregious performance to date
c Permit requirements We're talking about benchmarks not limits, ie these
exceedances are not permit violations, but still, industries are obligated to keep their
pollutants on their sites & not discharge them into NC waters,
d LP will want to know how we will identify the endpoint of any forward path involving
construction of an effective stormwater control system This is a 'significance' issue
in the sense of understanding today the potential future costs they will incur as a
result of pollutant control actions we require of them
4 DWQ objectives in these circumstances
a Improve the protection of water quality beyond LP's current poor performance
b Preserve the integrity of the permit requirements and the permitting program
c Impose reasonable requirements, avoid unreasonable burdens on the permittee Be
fair
5 Potential elements of the candidate paths forward for LP
a Hire an environmental/civil engineer experienced in large scale industrial site
projects to evaluate alternatives and to design new treatment practices Doubtful
that this work can be accomplished in house by LP
b Get a physical features and elevations survey of the whole plant site
c Require better control of polluted discharges from LP
d Require affirmative action from LP in pursuit of the control of stormwater pollutants
e Require milestones & interim progress markers set by WSRO and
reviewed/approved similar to a Compliance Order perspective
f Allow for a protracted time frame where appropriate
g Source reduction, if possible'?
h More effective treatment --- any treatment at all would be an improvement in #002
i One outfall and its subdrainage area at a time might help spread out capital costs
j DWQ administrative solutions should follow only after LP attempts at site
management solutions and engineering solutions
k Let LP choose the path forward via a mechanism of they propose a plan, and we
approve the plan, and they execute the plan, and then confirm performance back to
us
6 Synthesis of all of the above Apparent potential paths forward
a Path la The trivial no action alternative Keep things as they are today, along with
monthly sampling Reject out of hand
Page 3 of 4
b Path 1b Another form of the trivial no action alternative Revert back to semi-
annual sampling and keep things the way they are today Reject out of hand
Neither of these two alternatives addresses the problem of polluted discharges
c Path 2 A first pass outfall by outfall plan focused on a treatment approach rather
than a source reduction approach, subsequent confirmation sampling to determine
which outfalls require a second pass
i Set up flow measurement devices on all three outfalls to characterize the flow
rate and volume as a design basis input parameter for the following structural
measures Obtain a physical features and elevations survey of the site and
the stormwater system
ii Outfall #001 Smallest of the three drainage areas with only 17 8A and only
7A impervious Engineering solution approach No significant extra land
available Convert existing dry detention basin into gross solids settling basin
paired with a wet well for stormwater pumps to convey flow to either of the
treatment measures to be constructed in #002 or #003 Re -work the creek
piping to segregate that flow from the contaminated stormwater flow as much
as possible
in Outfall #002 Site management and engineering solution approach
Portions of the approx 5 5A gravel parking lot to be made available for
treatment measures, finished product lay down area to be re -configured to
accommodate the treatment measures Note that the main discharge line
from #002 is —20' deep at the sampling manhole, but the endpoint is 20'
above the river according to site personnel This means that at some point
along its run, it is at grade We did not see the run of the pipe down to the
aver well enough to know for sure that existing topo can be modified to
accommodate this approach LP to hire a civil engineer to Investigate the
feasibility of this approach
iv Outfall #003 Primarily and engineering solution approach Engineer to
re -design the dry detention basin Instead of one large basin, reconfigure into
a treatment train, with pretreatment settling for gross solids removal,
followed by vegetated or wet detention treatment If a third unit will fit in the
train, consider vegetated or infiltration with underdrain collection practices
Approximately 2A of land is readily available Evaluate going back up the
pipe and segregating the stormwater flows from the creek flow on the north
half of the property Rework of the spill containment basin may be required
depending on the details of the connections Evaluate localized containment
of the boiler fuel storage area
v Outfall #004, new Act now to prevent the perverse action of piping the
creek under the plant and dumping contaminated flows into it underground
vi This scheme is subject to modification of the details, and the determination
that portions of it are infeasible, based on site conditions or costs But, I
don't see how LP can address this problem without some capital costs And I
don't see how we can administratively let them off the hook for better
performance that path might be interpreted as DWQ totally defaulting on
our responsibility to pursue the protection of the waters of North Carolina
vii DWQ posture We acknowledge the great dilution in the Yadkin by not
pressing forward and requiring rigid observation of the benchmark values if
LP will commit to installing BMPs to address the pollutants as far as is
feasible
Page 4 of 4
d Path 3 A hot spot source reduction approach that includes both site
management and engineering solutions
i Outfall #001 Direct wood chip storage pile drains into the WWTP rather than
the #001 sediment basin Other portions of DA #001 continue through the
sediment basin
ii Outfall #002 for TSS - Pave the large gravel truck loading and finished
product lay down area, For COD - direct wood chip storage pile drains to the
WWTP, rather than to the stormwater outfall
in Outfall #003 Direct boiler fuel storage areas into the WWTP Spill Basins #1
and #2, and bleed through the WWTP Or dig a new basin adjacent to WWTP
Spill Basins #1 & 2 Other portions of #003 continue through the current dry
detention basin
iv Difficulties with this approach include opening up the wastewater permit for
modifications According to WSRO, a difficult approach Further, LP reports
that the facility is near capacity as is (but not completely at capacity - I guess
it may be a question of how much more would this approach add, and how
much more can the WWTP take )
