Rescission of NCGNE0232
Lee County
Dear Ms. Bottone:
In accordance with your application for a discharge permit received on May 9, 2016, we are
forwarding herewith the subject certificate of coverage (COC) to discharge under the subject state —
NPDES general permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General
Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the US
Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended). In
conjunction, the No Exposure Certification No. NCGNE0232 for this facility is hereby rescinded.
The company also requested that stormwater discharge outfall 005 be granted representative
outfall status (ROS) because it discharges stormwater from the area where woodchips are stored at
this facility. The Division hereby approves your request based on the circumstances of exposure at
this site and the information provided during and after our site visit on July 22, 2015, In accordance
with 40 CFR § 122.21(g)(7), you are authorized to sample outfall 005 as a representative outfall. This
approval is effective with the initial sampling event under this permit. However, the permit still
requires Qualitative Monitoring be performed at all SDOs, regardless of representative status.
Please append this letter to your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) or permit to document
that ROS has been approved. If changes in drainage areas, structures, processes, storage practices, or
other activities occur that significantly alter the basis of this approval, ROS may no longer be valid.
You would either resume sampling all SDOs, or reapply to this office for representative outfall status
based on updated information.
Please take notice that this certificate of coverage is not transferable except upon approval of the
Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources. The Division of Energy, Mineral and Land
Resources may require modification or revocation and reissuancc of the certificate of coverage.

REPRESENTATIVE OUTFALL STATUS (ROS)
REQUEST FORM

Da
If a facility is required to sample multiple discharge locations with very similar stormwa ter discharges, the
permittee may petition the Director for Representative Outfoll Status (ROS). DWQ may grant Representative
Outfall Status if stormwater discharges from a single outfall are representative of discharges from multiple
outfalls. Approved ROS will reduce the number of outfalls where analytical sampling requirements apply.
If Representative Outfall Status is granted, ALL outfalls are still subject to the qualitative monitoring
requirements of the facility's permit —unless otherwise allowed by the permit (such as NCG020000) and DWQ
approval. The approval letter from DWQ must be kept on site with the facility's Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan. The facility must notify DWQ in writing if any changes affect representative status.
For questions, please contact the DWQ Regional Office for your area (see page 3).

(Or, attach a letter or narrative to discuss this information.) For example, describe how activities and/or
materials are similar.
Wyeth LLC is requesting_ Representative Outfall Status for Outfall 005 that discharges stormwater from the
area where woodchips_are periodically stored. As discussed during our March 1, 2016 telephone
conversation with Bethany Georgoulias, Environmental Engineer with DEQ-DEMLR, and in keeping with the
DEQ-DEMLR letter to Wyeth, LLC, dated February 23, 2016, the wood chip area is the only exposed industrial
activity at the site, and the only one that is characteristic of activities under General Permit NCG210000
(Lumber and Wood Products). Wyeth understands that if Representative Outfall Status is granted for Outfall
005, the remaining site outfalls associated with industrial activity would be subject only to Qualitative
Monitoring Requirements.
5) Certification:
North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6 B(i) provides that:
Any person who knowingly makes any false statement, representation, or certification in any application, record,
report, plan, or other document filed or required to be maintained under this Article or a rule implementing this
Article; or who knowingly makes a false statement of a material fact in a rulemaking proceeding or contested case
under this Article; or who falsifies, tampers with, or knowingly renders inaccurate any recording or monitoring device
or method required to be operated or maintained under this Article or rules of the [Environmental Management]
Commission implementing this Article shall be guilty of a Class 2 misdemeanor which may include a fine not to exceed
ten thousand dollars ($10,000).
1 hereby request Representative Outfall Status for my NPDES Permit. I understand that ALL outfalls are still
subject to the qualitative monitoring requirements of the permit, unless otherwise allowed by the permit
and regional office approval. I must notify DWQ in writing if any changes to the facility or its operations take
place after ROS is granted that may affect this status. If ROS no longer applies, I understand I must resume
monitoring of all outfalls as specified in my NPDES permit.
I certify that I am familiar with the information contained in this application and that to the best of my
knowledge and belief such information is true, complete, and accurate.

Dear Mr. Powell:
The Division received your letter dated February 19, 2016, notifying us of the delay in funding for the
permanent excess wood chip storage facility construction. This delay means the structure cannot be
completed by December 2016 as outlined in our letter to you late last year.
Given that outdoor storage will persist indefinitely, the company should apply for an NPDES stormwater
discharge permit (and rescind the No Exposure Certification). Because of the nature of the exposed
storage and activity in this drainage area, the DEMLR Stormwater Permitting Program is recommending
that your facility apply for coverage under General Permit NCG210000 (Lumber and Wood Products),
rather than under NCG060000, which captures pharmaceutical -related activities (SIC 283-). A Notice of
Intent (NOI) application is enclosed.
As the wood chip area is the only exposed industrial activity at this site, we also recommend that you
apply for Representative Outfall Status (ROS) for the associated outfall'. The ROS application form is
enclosed as well. We realize the form is designed to document information about outfall similarities.
Please use question 4. on the form to explain why this outfall is appropriate for ROS (i.e., it is the only
one exposed to industrial activities at the site and characteristic of activities under the General Permit).
Until a Certificate of Coverage (COC) is issued, DEMLR asks you to continue quarterly monitoring for
COD and TSS at the discharge draining from the chip storage area, as stipulated in our December 21,
2015, letter. Please submit the results on the DMR form to the Central Office as we advised (may be
included with your NOI application for the NCG21 General Permit). Note that monitoring requirements
will change upon issuance of the COC. Please refer to the General Permit to understand future
monitoring obligations and conditions.

Hi Chuck,
I received your letter today. We will respond with a letter advising you of your next steps. We agree that NCG21 GP
coverage in this case will be the most appropriate.
By the way, take a look at the NCG21 permit on our website (that's all changed recently, so here's a direct

You'll see the language I was referring to last week in Part 11, Section B. Analytical Monitoring is required only when piles
of wood chips are stored for seven days or longer.
We will follow up soon.

Dear Ms. Georgoulias:
In follow up to our February 18, 2016 telephone conversation, Wyeth. LLC,(Wyeth) is informing the
Department of Environmental Quality. Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources, (DEQ-DEMLR)
of a delay in the capital funding of a project to construct a permanent storage facility for wood chip
quantities that exceed our Biomass Boiier Storage Silo.
Wyeth understands that the Division has requested that we complete a Stormwater General Permit
application with respect to the Industrial Activity (occasional storage of excess Wood Chip outside).
Wyeth requests guidance and concurrence from DEQ-DEMLR with respect to the possibility of a
Stormwater "General Permit" with a single.outfall that.is associated with the Industrial Activity of the
occasional storage of excess wood chip, and consideration be given to the fact that the remaining
stormwater pathways and outfalls remain unchanged from previously certified No Exposure Industrial
Activity status.
We look forward to hearing back from you soon and are available to discuss the application further at your
convenience.
If you should have any questions, please contact me at.(919) 566-4018.

Dear Mr. Powell:
The Division received your letter dated September 16, 2015, following up on our site visit and discussion
with you at Wyeth, LLC's Sanford Plant on July 22, 2015. The purpose of that visit was to discuss the
plant's need to temporarily store wood chips for the Biomass Boiler outside when quantities exceed the
Storage Silo capacity, and the implications for the plant's current No Exposure Certification. We
understand the company is moving forward with a capital engineering project to construct a permanent
storage building to eliminate stormwater exposure of the excess chips when needed.
For the interim period, the company is seeking concurrence from DEMLR on maintaining No Exposure
status for this plant site while implementing good housekeeping and other best management measures to
minimize exposure and runoff from chips stored outside until permanent shelter construction is
completed. The shelter would bring the site back into compliance with its No Exposure Certification.
DEMLR Staff agree that this storage situation constitutes exposure and does not satisfy No Exposure
Certification conditions, which triggers the requirement for an NPDES stormwater discharge permit.
However, if Wyeth, LLC elects to maintain the NCGNE during this period and works towards regaining
full compliance with No Exposure conditions, DEMLR will consider favorably its progress toward
achieving compliance as long as the company:
• Confirms to us continuing progress toward completing the capital project, and the current
completion date for the shelter is no later than December 2016; and
• Begins sampling discharges draining from the temporary chip storage area on a quarterly basis
in accordance with the analytical monitoring suite in General Permit NCG210000 (Lumber and
Wood Products, i.e., Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Total Suspended Solids (TSS)).

Please use the Data Monitoring Report (DMR) forms available on our website for the NCG210000
General Permit to record results. Instead of the address on the form (DWQ Central Files), we ask that
you submit the results of the analytical monitoring within 30 days of receipt from the laboratory directly
to the following address:
Attention: DEMLR Stormwater Permitting Program — Central Office
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1617
Four copies of this form are enclosed. While this DMR form is set up for semi-annual or monthly
reporting, please use the form for quarterly monitoring results and include revision notes as needed. The
form also includes benchmark values for COD and TSS that pertain to specific Tier Response actions in
the General Permit and do not apply in this case; however, personnel reviewing the data should still use
these benchmark levels as a guide for investigating problems or revising shelter construction schedule. If
monitoring demonstrates that these conditions are causing or contributing to water quality standard
impacts, the Division may pursue more immediate action.
We appreciate your efforts to discuss your situation with our agency and actively work towards a
solution. We have reviewed the Job -Aid submitted with your letter and find the document helpful for
meeting your goal. DEMLR did note that the Job -Aid document could do more to help the employee
understand why these actions are important — i.e., adding documentation or training that informs the
employee that the purpose of these actions are to prevent stormwater pollution. If you have any questions
or concerns regarding this correspondence, please contact me at (919) 807-6372 or at

As a follow up to your recent visit to our facility and per your request, we are forwarding you a "Job -Aid"
that we have developed around receipt and intermittent storage of wood chip on the pavement area behind
our Central Utility Building (CUB), Biomass:Boiler operations area. As we mentioned during your visit,
we have implemented procedures and practices to improve the managemenrthe wood chip storage pile
during rain events. Specifically we have implemented Best Management Practices (BMP's) to achieve
good housekeeping measures and to minimize runoff. We have developed -a Job -Aid (Attached) that will
be used by the CUB personnel that we feel willmensure we have minimized runoff during rain events. In the
Job Aid we cover procedures for our management practices if we have to store chip on the ground beyond,7
days due to an unplanned shutdown. in addition, we have developed a drawing showing our woodchip
storage area and size along with the flow path for rainwater runoff.
WI .LLC, is in the process of moving forward with a capital engineering: project to construct a
permanent storage building to provide cover and protection from stormwater exposure. For the interim
period,. we are requesting your concurrence on these measures to allow us to maintain our Stormwater No

As a follow up to our telephone conversation and email on May 6, 2015. this letter
describes the Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMP's) that we are implementing
at our facility. As we discussed Wyeth, LLC, a subsidiary of Pfizer, operates a-29.4
million Btu per hour Biomass Boiler that uses wet -wood chip as its fuel source. Wood
chip deliveries occur Monday — Friday and are loaded into our Wood Chip storage silo
located behind the Central Utilities Building next to our Biomass Boiler. Our supplier
sources our wood chip from local logging operations. These operations that can
sometimes be affected by weather conditions that prevent them from delivering
consistently to meet our boiler operating needs. As a result we need to periodically store
wood chip in piles on the paved area adjacent to the Storage Silo. The wood chip pile.is
typically moved into our storage silo within 4-6 days of receiving the load.
Wyeth, LLC maintains a Stormwater `'No Exposure" Certification. We are in the process
of moving forward with a capital engineering project to construct a permanent storage
building to provide cover and protection from stormwater exposure. The project is in the
scoping stage, and a project timeline has not yet been established. We estimate 2"d or 3Td
quarter of 2016 for completion. In the meantime, the.following BMP's are being
implement in.order to minimize stormwater runoff potential:
1). Good Housekeeping Measures: Our Central Utilities personnel will utilize manual
and equipment assisted mobile sweepers daily to minimize any stray wood chip and
wood chip fines. Wood Chip and fines will be swept up, removed, and placed into the
reclaimer for loading into the storage silo. We will document cleaning activities in our
daily field log book used by Central Utilities personnel.
2). Manap_ement of Runuff: We will install silt fencing and hay bales to filter and
control sediment from leaving the storage area during rain events. Any sediment
captured will be disposed of and the area will be inspected daily to ensure the integrity of
the silt fencing and hay bales.
3). Minimize Exposure: We will manage our wood chip delivery volume by working
with our supplier to best determine optimal weekly shipment volumes, considering
weather and operating conditions with the goal of minimizing the amount of loads that
will need to be stored on the paved area near the storage silo.
We are completing our annual stormwater no exposure certification and ask for your
guidance and concurrence of our temporary BMP's to minimize our stormwater exposure
until a permanent covered structure can be put into place at our facility.
If you should have any questions, please contact me at (919) 566-4018.
