RE: NCG210 application for Walker Pallet
Hi Linda,
We've received an NO] from Walker Pallet Company, Incorporated for their facility in Burgaw (Pender County) for
coverage of their pallet and mulch facility under NCG21 (timber products permit). The site discharges stormwater into a
UT to Long Creek and (C, 5w). The NOI is attached.
Does the Wilmington Regional Office have any concerns about issuing this facility a COC for this general permit? If we
don't receive any objections, we'll issue the COC in 30 days.
Since you have already said below I can issue it — I will go ahead. There does not seem to be anything amiss with their
NOL
Thanks,
Jen

STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
WALKER PALLET COMPANY
BURGAW, NORTH CAROLINA
CLARK PROJECT NO. 12109
AUGUST 24, 2012
1.0 GENERAL FACILITY INFORMATION:
Name of Facility: Walker Pallet Company
Facility Address: 3802 New Savannah Road, Burgaw, NC 28425
Facility Contact: Mr. Harold Walker' President
Facility Phone Number: [phone]
Owner/Operator: Mr. Harold Walker
Standard Industrial Classification Code (SIC) Code: 2448
Permit Number: General Permit No. NCG210000
Initial Date of Coverage: April 1, 2011
Number of Storm Water Outfalls: 2
Receiving Waters: Long Creek
Surface Water Classification: C-Sw
Surface Water Status: Impaired water, severe bioclassification
Emergency Contact: Mr. Harold Walker
Phone Number: [phone]
2.0 PURPOSE:
This Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) was developed for Walker
Pallet Company to comply with requirements outlined in General Permit No.
NCG210000, for storm water discharge under the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) program. The components of this plan include a
facility operations description, identification of potential pollution sources,
identification of stormwater discharge/sampling points, as well as
recommendations for best management practices (BMPs) to minimize the
potential for pollution discharges to occur. A copy of the permit is included as
Appendix 1.
THE CLARKGROUP

3.0 OBJECTIVES:
This plan was developed to provide for requirements that are contained in the
general permit. Specifically, the objectives include the following:
• Identify sources of contamination that could potentially impact surface
waters via stormwater runoff,
• Identify natural discharge points on site that would convey runoff onto
adjacent properties leading to surface water so that required sampling can
be performed;
• Provide recommendations for measures to prevent the existence of
contaminated stormwater runoff,
• Provide recommendation to remove non-stornwater related discharges
from the stormwater discharge; and,
• Identify potential contaminants in stormwater discharge and establish a
routine monitoring procedure that will detect potential contaminants in
stormwater discharge during representative storm events.
4.0 SITE DESCRIPTION:
4.1 Location:
' The site is located at the intersection of New Savannah Road and NC
Highway 53, Burgaw, North Carolina. Figure 1 is a topographic vicinity
map showing the site location with respect to nearby drainage features,
and Figure 2 is a surveyed site map showing the layout of the facility and
site topography, as well as other pertinent features.
4.2 Site Operations:
The facility is primarily in the business of wood pallet recycling. Used
pallets are brought to the site, and those that are structurally intact are
separated for resale. Some pallets are repaired on -site in the shop area and
resold. Pallets which can not be reused are temporarily stored on site on a
large concrete pad and some (historically) in a pile along the western
property boundary (Figure 2). Pallets are taken from the temporary
storage areas and processed in a chipping operation on -site, where they are
reduced to wood chips. The wood chips are temporarily stored on -site
until they are sold to a renewable energy facility (Coastal Carolina Clean)
in Kenansville that burns the material to make electricity. A kiln is
located on -site, where the wood chips are dried, if necessary, to finish the
product prior to delivery. Nails from the pallets are removed prior to
chipping and stored in a large bin located adjacent to the wood chipper.
The nails are sold as scrap metal to Southern Metals Recycling.

THE CLARK GROUP

5.0
The facility is also in the business of processing corrugated boxes for
recycling. A box compacting operation is located on -site adjacent to the
temporary pallet storage pile (.Figure 2). Boxes are compacted and
processed into bales for loading and delivery to Sunoco Recycling, where
the boxes are recycled.
4.3 Site Topography and Nearby Surface Waters:
A topographic survey was performed at the site to determine site drainage
and stormwater discharge points, as well as impermeable surface area.
The site slopes northwestward toward the back of the facility. Ditches are
present along the northern and western property boundaries, which drain
toward the west and north, respectively- The ditch along the western line
drains into a topographic swale that exists behind the facility. The ditch
along the northern boundary ends abruptly before it reaches the swale.
Water entering this feature appears to infiltrate into the subsurface during
most times of the year, and does not discharge off -site. During major
precipitation events, discharge may occur from this ditch, which would
flow northward toward the swale.
The swale behind the facility drains into Long Creek approximately 1500
feet west of the site. Long Creek is classified as C-Sw, and as impaired
water from the headwaters (approximately % mile upgradient of the site to
approximately 1.8 miles downgradient of the site where Cypress Creek
flows into Long Creek) (Figure 1). Long Creek has been identified to be
the receiving waters of stormwater draining from the site.
IDENTIFIED POTENTIAL CONTAMINANT SOURCES:
Three potential contaminant sources were identified on -site, as detailed below:
+ Pallet Recycling Operation: The wood material associated with the pallet
recycling operation is the largest potential source of contamination on -
site. Potential pollution originating from untreated wood product storage
includes leachate resulting from percolation of rainwater through the
wood products. This leachate could contain high levels of total
suspended solids (TSS) and biological chemical demand (BOD).
+ Box Compacting Operation: A second potential source for contaminants
is the box compacting machine, which operates through the use of
hydraulic fluid. If spills were to occur from the compactor, stormwater
runoff could become contaminated with oil and grease.
• Nail Recycling: Nails that originate from the recycled pallets are
collected in a large bin and stored until taken to a metals recycling
3
THE CLARK GROUP

facility. Potential contaminants from this operation would be various
metals leaching from the scrap nails and entering stormwater runoff.
Two double -wailed above ground fuel storage tanks are also located on-sitc;
however, they are out of use, and are not planned to be utilized in the future.
Therefore, these tanks are currently not considered a potential source, but could
be if they are ever put back into service. Figure 2 is a site map that shows the site
topography and the location of the potential sources relative to the identified
discharge points.
5.1 Site Map:
The site map depicts an accurate survey- of the property boundary and the
topography. Three drainage basins were identified based on the
topographic survey. Drainage areas 1 and 2, as shown on the map, are 1.62
and 4.95 acres, respectively, and comprise the overwhelming majority of
the site area, as well as all of the identified potential pollution sources. Of
the total areas, 9.88% and 38.18% of the respective areas are comprised of
impervious surfaces. The third drainage basin is located along the
southern property boundary adjacent to NC Highway 53, is very limited in
extent, and does not contain a potential pollution source. The total area for
this basin is 0.56 acres, 21.43% of which is impervious. Based on this
evaluation, and the orientation of the topographic contour lines, two
discharge points have been identified for purposes of sampling to comply
with requirements (Figure 2).
5.2 Required Monitoring and Sampling:
The permit requires sampling of the two discharge point two times per
year after a representative rainfall event. A representative rainfall event is
defined as an event of at least 0. 10 inch of rain, preceded by at least 72
hours in which no storm event measuring greater than 0.10 inch has
occurred. The required parameters for each sample are pl-I, chemical
oxygen demand, total suspended solids and total rainfall. A summary of
analytical data is included in Table 1.
In addition to the chemical and rainfall parameters, qualitative discharge
monitoring requirements include checking for color, odor, clarity, floating
solids, suspended solids, foam, oil sheen, evidence of erosion at the
outfall, as well as other obvious indicators of stormwater pollution. Table
2 is a summary of the qualitative monitoring observations.
One semi-annual event will take place between January I" and June 31" of
each year, and the other event will take place between August 15t and
December 31" of each year. At no time should the monitoring events be
less than 60 days apart.

THE CLARK GROUP

11 6.0 BMP SUMINARY AND PREVENTATIVE MAINTENACE PROGRAM;
' Best management practices (BMP), preventative maintenance and good
housekeeping programs are key to preventing potential stormwater pollution
discharges. The following are some BMPs that are commonly employed at wood
' storage facilities:
' • Stormwater diversion around storage piles within vegetated swales
• Storage area locations that are on stable and well drained soils with
minimal sloping to prevent ponding
• Storage area locations that are on pervious surfaces to allow for infiltration
of stormwater and prevent runoff
• Sedimentation measures to include silt fencing to control sediment runoff
' from storage areas
• Storage area covers such as canopies, roots or tarps to prevent stormwater
contact
' • Covered dumpsters for solid wastes to prevent stormwater contact and
runoff
' According to the site topographic survey (Figure 2), the stockpiled pallet
recycling material is located on a slightly higher elevation than the two identified
discharge points, and should act to divert stormwater from flowing through the
' pile prior to discharge. Additionally, drainage from the wood chipping area leads
to a dead end ditch, which acts to retain stormwater, which ultimately infiltrates
into the ground before leaving the site. The stockpiled materials, as well as the
wood chip storage area, are located on pervious ground.
In addition to site features that act as BMPs, and potentially using the ones listed
' above, preventative maintenance and good housekeeping should be practiced on a
regular basis. To the extent practicable, and to the extent that it is cost effective,
source area control best management practices will be utilized to prevent
stormwater pollution runoff Should discharge monitoring results indicate that
thresholds outlined in the permit have been exceeded, then additional BMI's will
have to be implemented.

Erosion Control Measures:
All areas that are prone to erosion control will be protected. In the event it
is necessary, silt fencing will be utilized to prevent soil laden runoff from
leaving the site. On -site vegetation will be maintained to reduce the
possibility of sediment being transported off -site. Areas that are identified
as potential sediment sources will be planted with grass or other
vegetation.
Spill Prevention and Response Procedures:
The box compactor and wood chipping machines use hydraulic fluid for
operation; therefore, there is the potential for spillage to occur if a hose
ruptures, or when adding new fluid to the machines. Additionally, there is
also the possibility of minor periodic leaks from trucks (i.e., oil, fuel, etc.)
that are on -site during regular operations.
A spill kit should be located in close proximity of the wood chipper and
box compactor to be utilized in the event of a spill from either machine.
Incidental smaller leaks, as mentioned above, can also be dealt with using
the spill kit. In the event of a spill, site personnel should immediately act
to remediate the spill area. The sorbent materials in the spill kit should be
utilized to soak up the spilled petroleum product, and any soil that
7

' becomes impacted should be removed. The spent material should be
containerized and disposed at an approved facility. The spill kit should be
' replenished with any materials utilized during cleanup, so it will be readily
available at any time.

PART I INTRODUCTION
SECTION A: GENERAL PERMIT COVERAGE
All persons desiring to be covered by this General Permit must register with the Division of
Water Quality by the filing of a Notice of Intent (NOl) and applicable fees. The NOI shall be
submitted and a certificate of coverage issued prior to any discharge of stormwater associated
with industrial activity that has a point source discharge to the surface waters of the state.
Any owner or operator not wishing to be covered or limited by this General Permit may make
application i`or an individual NPDES permit in accordance with NPDES procedures in 15A
NCAC 214 .0100, stating the reasons supporting the request. Any application for an individual
permit should be made at least 180 days prior to commencement of discharge.
This General Permit does not cover activities or discharges covered by an individual NPDES
permit until the individual permit has expired or has been revoked. Any person conducting an
activity covered by an individual permit but which could be covered by this General Permit may
request that the individual permit be revoked and coverage under this General Permit be
provided.
If industrial materials and activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described in 40
CFR § 12226(g), the facility may qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES stormwater
discharge permit requirements. Any owner or operator wishing to obtain a No Exposure
Certification must submit a No Exposure Certification NOI fonn to the Division, must receive
approval by the Division, must maintain no exposure conditions unless authorized to discharge
under a valid NPDES stormwater permit, and must reapply for the No Exposure Exclusion once
every five (5) years.
Facilities submitting NOIs for coverage under this permit, and facilities submitting renewal
forms for continued coverage under this permit, prior to establishment or approval of a Total
Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for pollutant(s) for stormwater discharges (i.e. wet weather
flows), may be covered under this permit during its term. For such facilities, continued coverage
under the reissuance of this permit is subject to the facility demonstrating that it does not have a
reasonable potential to violate applicable water quality standards for such pollutants due to the
stormwater discharge(s). For facilities that do have a reasonable potential for violation of
applicable water quality standards due to the stor<water discharge(s), the facility shall apply for
an individual permit 180 days prior to the expiration of this general permit. Once the individual
permit is issued and becomes effective the facility will no longer have coverage under the general
permit. Impaired waters scheduled for TMDL development are on North Carolina's 303(d) List
and can be found here: http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/tmdl/General_303d.htm#Downloads.
A list of approved TMDLs for the state of North Carolina can be found here:
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/tmdl/C.enera]—TMDLs.htm.
During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the
Permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater associated with industrial activity. Such
discharges shall be controlled, limited, and monitored as specified in this permit.

stormwater to the surface waters of North Carolina or separate storm sewer system which has
been adequately treated and managed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this General
Permit. All discharges shall be in accordance with the conditions of this permit.
' Any other point source discharge to surface waters of the state is prohibited unless it is an
allowable non-stormwater discharge or is covered by another permit, authorization, or approval.
The stonnwater discharges allowed by this General Permit shall not cause or contribute to
violations of. Water Quality Standards. This General Permit does not allow discharges
determined by the Division of Water Quality to be wastewaters.
This permit does not relieve the perrnittee from responsibility for compliance with any other
applicable federal, state, or local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or decree.

manufacturing or fueling operations. In areas where elimination of exposure is
not practical, the stormwater management plan shall document the feasibility of
diverting the stormwater runoff away from areas of potential contamination.
(b) Secondary Containment Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is
required for: bulk storage of liquid materials; storage in any amount of Section
313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA)
water priority chemicals; and storage in any amount of hazardous substances, in
order to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. A table
or summary of all such tanks and stored materials and their associated secondary
containment areas shall be maintained. If the secondary containment devices are
connected directly to stonmwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be
controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices (which shall be
secured closed with a locking mechanism), and any stormwater that accumulates
in the containment area shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam,
outfalI staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the
accumulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to
be uncontaminated by the material stored within the containment area. Records
documenting the individual making the observation, the description of the
accumulated stormwater, and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a
period of five years.
(c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management
Practices (BMP) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs
shall be based on the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute
significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected
through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a
written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the
selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually.
3. Spill Prevention and Response Plan, The Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP)
shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials
inventory of the facility. Facility personnel (or the team) responsible for implementing the
Part 11 Page 2 of 10

' Permit No. NCG210000
SPRP shall be identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and dated
by each individual acknowledging their responsibilities for the plan. A responsible
person shall be on -site at all times during facility operations that have the potential to
contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or exposure of materials associated with the
' facility operations. The SPRP must be site stormwater specific. Therefore, an oil Spill
Prevention Control and Countermeasure plan (SPCC) may be a component of the SPRP,
but may not be sufficient to completely address the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The
' common elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may be incorporated by reference into the
SPRP.
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative
maintenance and good housekeeping prograrn shall be developed. The program shall list
all stormwater control systems, stormwater discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent
surface waters and wetlands, industrial activity areas (including material storage areas,
material handling areas, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and
haul roads), all drainage features and structures, and existing structural BMYs. The
program shall establish schedules of inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping
' activities of stormwater control systems, as well as facility equipment, facility areas, and
facility systems that present a potential for stormwater exposure or stormwater pollution.
Inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of these areas shall
' be incorporated into the program. Timely compliance with the established schedules for
inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping shall be recorded in writing and maintained
in the SPPP.
5. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill response
' and cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's operations
that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. Facility personnel (or team)
responsible for implementing the training shall be identified, and their annual training
shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained.
6. Responsible Party. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall identify a specific
' position(s) responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and
revision to the Plan. Responsibilities for all components of the Plan shall be documented
and position assignments provided.
' 7. Plan Amendment. The permittee shall amend the Plan whenever there is a change in
design, construction, operation, or maintenance which has a significant effect on the
' potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of the Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. The annual
update shall include an updated list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the
' previous three years, or the notation that no spills have occurred. The annual update shall
include re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence
of non-stormwater discharges. Edell annual update shall include a re-evaluation of the
' effectiveness of the BMPs listed in the BMP Summary of the Stormwater Management
Plan.
' The Director may notify the pennittee when the Plan does not meet one or more of the
minimum requirements of the permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee shall
Part Il Page 3 of 10

1
Permit No. NCG210000
submit a time schedule to the Director for modifying the Plan to meet minimum
requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with
Part UT, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 5) to the Director that the changes
have been made.
' 8. Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur as
part of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a minintuln on
' a semi-annual schedule, once during the first half of the year (January to June), and once
during the second half (July to December), with at least 60 days separating inspection
dates (unless performed more frequently than semi-annually). These facility inspections
' are different from, and in addition to, the stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring
required in Part It of this permit.
Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Plan. Implementation of the flan
shall include documentation of all monitoring, measurements, inspections, maintenance
activities, and training provided to employees, including the log of the sampling data and
of actions taken to implement BMPs associated with the industrial activities, including
vehicle maintenance activities. Such documentation shall be kept on -site for a period of
five years and made available to the Director or the Director's authorized representative
immediately upon request.
SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shal I be performed as specified in Table 1. A facility
that does not retain 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
before removing the material is not required to monitor the parameters in Table 1. A facility that is
exempt from analytical monitoring on this basis of removing material in seven (7) days or less shall keep
in its SPPP a record of dates when the material is generated and removed, and how/by whom it was
removed. If at any time the material is not removed within this time frame, the facility must begin
analytical monitoring immediately. All facilities covered by this permit must perform Qualitative
Monitoring in Section C. of this fart.

4 For each sampled representative storm event the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge or local rain
gauge reading must be recorded.
5 No monitoring is required if the facility does not retain exposed piles of sawdust, wood chips, bark, mulch, or other similar
material on site for more than seven (7) days. if a facility opts out of monitoring on die basis of removing accumulated
material in seven (7) days or less, the facilityshall record and maintain a log in its SPPP of dates of when material is
generated and removed, and details about how/by whom it was removed.
All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a representative storm event at each
stormwater discharge outfall (SDO).
A representative storm event is a storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall
and that is preceded by at least 72 hours in which no storm event measuring greater than 0,1
inches has occurred. A single storm event may contain up to 10 consecutive hours of no
precipitation. For example, if it rains for 2 hours without producing any collectable discharge,
and then stops, a sample may be collected if a rain producing a discharge begins again within the
next 10 hours.
The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified
in Table 2. A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2 sample dates unless
