Permit No.NC 210111

Dear Mr. Veihl:
On February 4, 2020, Brandon Wise and Zac Lentz, inspectors with the North Carolina Department of
Environmental Quality(NCDEQ)—Division of Energy, Minerals, and Land Resources, inspected the facility located at
250 Celotex Way in Danville. The purpose of this visit was to conduct a compliance inspection as part of NCDEQ's goal
to inspect all permitted facilities. The inspection consisted of review of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SWPPP)and each of its components, review of the facility outfall,as well as the review of the overall site conditions.
Permit:
This facility has General Stormwater Permit NCG210111 to discharge stormwater from industrial activity
associated with Lumber and Wood Products,Except Furniture [SIC 241 under the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System(NPDES). This version of the permit was issued on August 1, 2018 and will expire on July 31, 2023.
The facility has been permitted since March 26, 1993.
Records/Reports:
This facility is required to develop and maintain a SWPPP in accordance with Part II, Section A of the permit.
All qualitative and analytical monitoring records are required to be maintained with the SWPPP for a minimum of five(5)
years. Under this permit, analytical monitoring is required under current operating procedures. The facility records show
sampling is being completed and is kept onsite in the office. Annual updates to the SWPPP are required in accordance
with Part II, Section A, Item 8 of the permit. The SWPPP was well put together and was updated annually with the
current SWPPP being dated March 2019. Overall the SWPPP was well put together and had all required documentation
and very detailed site maps.
Facility Site Review:
This facility operates as a large fiberboard manufacturing facility. Fiberboard is a type of engineered wood
product that is created using wood fibers and pressed into a single sheet of wood. The facility has large amounts of
finished product stockpiles located on the western side of the facility. The final product is typically stored with a cover on
the actual product. This side of the facility discharges to a ditch that runs around the western side of the building and
discharges to an unnamed tributary of Hogans Creek. The newly graveled area where final products is stored flows to two
drop inlets that then discharge to a holding pond before being discharged to the same ditch. On the eastern side of the
facility a large stockpile of wood chips is stored for use in the process. A majority of this stormwater flows north to the
Virginia outfall. In the southeastern corner of the facility there is an area of storage for old materials and waste materials.
This area needs to have better housekeeping due to the size of the debris allowing for it to be moved by the stormwater.
Facility contacts informed NCDEQ that they are currently working on removing leftover materials from the facility,
therefore this area should be cleaned up in the future. The stormwater from this area discharges to a pipe where it then

flows to a railroad track where the collection point is located. It should be noted that all discharges from the facility have
the ability to be shut with gates on the pipes in order to prevent any unwanted spills from reaching the waterways.
Effluent Receiving Waters:
Effluent from this facility drains into an unnamed tributary of Hogans Creek, class"WS-IV"waters of the
Roanoke River Basin and the Dan River, class"WS-IV"waters of the Roanoke River Basin. Please note these waters are
subject to protections as documented by North Carolina Administrative Code, 15A NCAC 2B .0216.
Self-Monitoring Program:
This facility is required to provide qualitative and analytical monitoring twice annually. The outfall discharge
from the facility is expected to be properly maintained and monitored. At the time of the inspection monitoring was being
completed and records showed regular inspections were being completed as well. Monitoring records showed a single
exceedance during the last sampling period. This exceedance was of total suspended solids and was caused by ground
disturbing activity that has since been addressed.
There are no additional comments or changes to the currently operating permit. Please continue to keep up the
facility and continue to monitor the stormwater outfalls and discharges. If you have any questions or need additional
information,please contact Brandon Wise at(336) 776-9660 or [e-mail].
