Dear Mr. Landi: r" . •' -� _ -
It is the understanding of the Division that the subject facility is no longer in operation and all equipment
has been removed. In accordance with this information, NPDES General Permit NCG210160 is
rescinded, effectively immediately.
Please be advised that this permit rescission is based wholly upon the activities which would require
general permit coverage at the site have ceased or been eliminated. Division staff has not visited the site
to obtain independent verification. Operating a treatment facility, discharging wastewater or discharging
stormwater to waters of the State without a valid NPDES Permit will subject the responsible party to a
civil penalty of up to $25,000 per day. Enforcement action will be certain for persons that have
voluntarily relinquished permit coverage when, in fact, continuing permit coverage was necessary. If, in
retrospect, you feel the site still requires permit coverage, you should notify this office immediately.
Furthermore, if in the future you wish to again discharge to the State's surface waters, you must first
apply for and receive a new NPDES Permit.
If you have questions about this matter, please contact Vanessa Manuel at [phone], extension 532
or the Water Quality staff in the Raleigh Regional Office at [phone].
Sincerely
an W. Klimek, P. E.

Subject: NPDES Permit Application
Mebane Lumber ti
Orange County
Mebane Lumber applied for coverage under general permit NCG500000 on April 23, 1998. The
Division apologizes for the delay in addressing your permit application.
The wastewater generated from this facility is not eligible for coverage under general permit
NCG500000, as a result of the wet decking process water. Currently, the Division is assessing
whether an individual NPDES permit or non -discharge recycle permit is applicable to this facility.
It is the Division's understanding, that boiler blowdown and stormwater is sprayed onto logs
for mold control and that the runoff is collected in an on -site pond. Discharge from the pond only
occurs in response to a rainfall event. If the facility can demonstrate that the pond discharges only in
response to a rainfall event greater than 25-yr/24-hour storm, the system can be classified as a recycle
system.
If the facility cannot demonstrate that the pond discharges only in response to a rainfall event
greater than 25-yr/24-hour, a NPDES permit would be required. As part of the NPDES permitting
process the facility would be required to complete an Engineering Alternatives Analysis.
The Engineering Alternatives Analysis examines the feasibility of non -discharging options.
The analysis would include a cost analysis for increasing the capacity of the pond to handle a 25-
yr/24-hour rainfall event without discharging. It is the Division's preference, that where feasible that a
non -discharge option be implemented.
Guidance for the complete Engineering Alternatives Analysis can be found on the Division of
Water Quality's web site the URL listed below.
In addition, to the Engineering Alternatives Analysis requirement the individual permitting
process includes a 30-day public notice period, and a $715.00 annual fee. The Division recommends

that the facility evaluate the feasibility of implementing a recycle system so that a non -discharge
recycle permit may be pursued.
If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact Michael Myers at telephone
number [phone], extension 508.
