Williams & Sons, Inc. is a woodworking operation that primarily processes hardwoods into plank type material for decking, cabinetry, etc. The facility receives raw logs and ships dried lumber. The facility primarily uses wood from red oak, white oak, and poplar trees. The facility generates steam for its kilns by a wood fired boiler. The oak woods take np to 30 days in the kiln while poplar and the softer woods are dried in 34 days. A portion of their processed material is exported to countries such as China that use the lumber for making furniture. Due to difficulty in finding suitable hard wood logs, the facility is processing more pine than it has in the past:: . Currently the facility operates eight -Hour shift five days a week. Presently the facility has about 60 employees (III) SPECIAL SAFETY CONCERNS: As with all facility visits, standard safety gear (steel -toed shoes, hard hat,' safety glasses and hearm rote s to be worm ga. B P otion) i (IV) INSPECTION SUMMARY: On December 11, 2015, I, Maureen Conner of DAQ, Cory Larsen of DWQ and Ray Williams of DWM arrided at Jerry G. Williams & Sons, Inc. to conduct an air,quality inspection as part of a multimedia inspection that had been pre -arranged with the facility. We met with John Fox and Keith Inman to conduction our, inspections. We reviewed the facility records which appeared to be in compliance. During the inspection I was able fo observe the stack to the wood boiler. At the time of my.visit the opacity from the wood boiler was in the range of 5 to 10%. No visible emissions were observed from the kilns. A couple of the planners and one boiler was not operating during the inspection. . - 1TvJ PtRiVII TEFi-EMISSIONS-SOURCES: Page 3 of 7 _ -- -.

The current permit does not have a source test requirement However, the following source test is on record: • b December 22, .2006 the oilei (ES-13-2) aas tested for PM emissions for compliance with the existing permit testing• requirement:` Results were 0.19 lb/mmBta,` under the limit'of'0.49: lb/mmBtu,. demonstrating compliance. (Up EMISSIONS INVENTORY REVIEW. Emissions had mostly decreased substantially (25-83%; but mostly —55%) from Emissions Inventory years 206 to 2010 due to a drop in business. Exceptions include a 100% increase in PM (TSP), 26% increase in Acetaldehyde; and 10% increase in Phenol emissions (see attached Facility Total CY 2010 Emission Summary report): Acetaldehyde and Phenol emissions were not reported for the kil i (OS-4) in 200 ; explaining the increase in these emissions in 2010. For PM (TSP), two factors can explain the increased 2010 emissions. Different estimations were used for the Rough Sawing operation (OS-5): AP-42 in 2005 and NC Spreadsheet in 2010. And the Debarking operation (OS-9) was not reported in 2005. See the attached table of these emissions by operating scenario and EI year for numerical details. M Page 7 of 7 ENFORCEMENT HISTORY: A review of I -Beam revealed the following actions against the facility: • October 19, 2007 — an NOV was issued for failing to submit requested estimated annual emissions from two cyclones connected to the fine sawing operation (ES-FS-1) by the established deadline. This violation was resolved by a response from the facility. • April 28 2006 —.an NOV/NRE was issued for failing to comply with bag£uter, cyclone and testing requirements. Thus is.an amendment to a NOV/NRE submitted earlier on January 17, 2006 (see below).. A response was received on May 31, 2006. A total fine .of $3763.00 was assessed, and was paid in fall and the case closed 6n January9, 2007. • January 17, 2006'_ an NOWNRE was issued for failing to comply with bagfilter, cyclone and test ng requirements. The response, received on February 21, 2006, was insufficient to return the facility to compliance, and triggered an amendment NOWNRE to clarify the violations and what is required to return to compliance. See above for assessment details. • November 12, 2003 - an NOV was issued for failing to submit required quarterly reports as well as required NSPS notification of construction and initial startup of a permitted wood -fired boiler (ID No. ES-B-2), discovered during an inspection. These violations were resolved by a response from the facility. • NOD issued on December 9, 2012, for not doing the require tune-up or facility assessment. CONCLUSIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS: At the time of this inspection, Jerry G Williams and Sons Inc appeared to be in compliance with permitting requirements. The facility should be re -inspected within one year. Nz WoterResoumes ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY PAT MCCRORY Governor DONALD R. VAN DER VAART Secretary S. JAY ZIMMERMAN ni a ., February 29, 2016 MR.

Williams & Sons, Inc. is a woodworking operation that primarily processes hardwoods into plank type material for decking, cabinetry, etc. The facility receives raw logs and ships dried lumber. The facility primarily uses wood from red oak, white oak, and poplar trees. The facility generates steam for its kilns by a wood fired boiler. The oak woods take up to 30 days in the kiln while poplar and the softer woods are dried in 3-4 days. A portion of their processed material is exported to countries such as China that use the lumber for making furniture. Due to difficulty in finding suitable hard wood logs, the facility is processing more pine than it has in the past. Currently the facility operates eight -hour shift five days a week. Presently the facility has about 60 employees. (III) SPECIAL SAFETY CONCERNS: As with all facility visits, standard safety gear (steel -toed shoes, hard hat, safety glasses and hearing protection) is to be wom. (IV) INSPECTION SUMMARY: On December 11, 2015, I, Maureen Conner of DAQ, Cory Larsen of DWQ and Ray Williams of DWM arrived at Jerry G. Williams & Sons, Inc. to conduct an air quality inspection as part of a multimedia inspection that had been pre -arranged with the facility. We met with John Fox and Keith Inman to conduction our inspections. We reviewed the facility records which appeared to be in compliance. During the inspection I was able to observe the stack to the wood boiler. At the time of my visit the opacity from the wood boiler was in the range of 5 to 10%. No visible emissions were observed from the kilns. A couple of the planners and one boiler was not operating during the inspection.

The current permit does not have a source test requirement. However, the following source test is on record: • December 22, 2066 — the wood -fired boiler (ES-13-2) was tested for PM emissions for compliance with the existing permit testing requirement. Results were 0.19 lb/mniBtu, under the limit of 0.49 lb/mmBtu, demonstrating compliance. ' J (IX) EMISSIONS INVENTORY REVIEW: Emissions had mostly decreased substantially (25-83%, but mostly —55%) from Emissions Inventory years 2005 to 2010 due to a drop in business. Exceptions include a 100% increase in PM (TSP), 26% increase in Acetaldehyde, and 197% increase in Phenol emissions (see attached Facility Total CY 2010 Emission Summary report). Acetaldehyde and Phenol emissions were not reported for the kiln (OS4) in'2005, explaining the increase in these emissions in 2010. For PM (TSP), two factors can explain the increased 2010 emissions. Different estimations were used for the Rough Sawing operation (OS-5): AP-42 in 2005 and NC Spreadsheet in 2010. And the Debarking operation (OS-9) was not reported in 2005. See the attached table of these emissions by operating scenario and EI year for numerical details. Page 7 of 7 (X) ENFORCEMENT HISTORY: A review of I -Beam revealed the following actions against the facility: • October 19, 2007 — an NOV was issued for failing to submit requested estimated annual emissions from two cyclones connected to the fine sawing operation (ES-FS-1) by the established deadline. This violation was resolved by a response from the facility. • April 28, 2006 — an NOWNRE was issued for failing to comply with bagfilter, cyclone and testing requirements. This is an amendment to a NOV/NRE submitted earlier on January 17, 2006 (see below). A response was received on May 31, 2006. A total fine of S3763.00 was assessed, and was paid in full and the case closed on January 9, 2007. • January 17, 2006 — an NOVINRE was issued for failing to comply with bagfilter, cyclone and testing requirements. The response, received on February 21, 2006, was insufficient to return the facility to compliance, and triggered an amendment NOV/NRE to clarify the violations and what is required to return to compliance. See above for assessment details. • November 12, 2003 — an NOV was issued for failing to submit required quarterly reports as well as required NSPS notification of construction and initial startup of a permitted wood -fired boiler (ID No. ES-B-2), discovered during an inspection. These violations were resolved by a response from the facility. • NOD issued on December 9, 2012, for not doing the require tune-up or facility assessment. (XI) CONCLUSIONSIRECOMMENDATIONS: At the time of this inspection, Jerry G Williams and Sons Inc appeared to be in compliance with permitting requirements.

The NO] shall be submitted and a certificate of coverage issued prior to any point source discharge of stormwater associated with industrial activity 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 for an individual NPDES permit in accordance with NPDES procedures in 1SA NCAC 2H .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 §122.26(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 Exclusion must submit a No Exposure Certification Notice of Intent (N01) form 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 recertify the No Exposure Exclusion annually. Any facility may apply for new or continued coverage under this permit until a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for pollutants for stormwater is established. A TMDL sets a pollutant -loading limit that affects a watershed, or portion of a watershed, draining to a specific impaired water. For discharges to watersheds affected by a TMDL, coverage under this permit may depend on the facility demonstrating it does not have reasonable potential to violate applicable water quality standards for those pollutants as a result of discharges. If DWQ determines that discharges have reasonable potential to cause water quality standard violations, the facility shall apply for an individual permit 180 days prior to the expiration date of this General Permit. Once that individual permit is effective, the facility will no longer have coverage under this General Permit. Note that the permittee must identify impaired waters (scheduled for TMDL development) and waters already subject to a TMDL in the Site Overview, as outlined in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, Part II, Section A. A list of approved TMDLs for the state of North Carolina can be found athttp://12ortal.ncdenr.org/web/wg/ps/mtu/`tmdl. Part I Page 1 of 2 Permit No. NCG210000 SECTION B: PERMITTED ACTIVITIES Until this permit expires or is modified or revoked, the permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater to the surface waters of North Carolina, or separate storm sewer system, which has been treated and managed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this General 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 discharges allowed by this General Permit shall not cause or contribute to violations of Water Quality Standards. This General Permit does not authorize discharges which have been determined by the Division of Water Quality to be wastewater discharges. This permit does not relieve the permittee from responsibility for compliance with any other applicable federal, state, or local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or decree. Part 1 Page 2 of 2 Permit No. NCG210000 PART II MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR PERMITTED DISCHARGES SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN The permittee shall develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). The SPPP shall be maintained on site unless exempted from this requirement by the Division. The SPPP is public information in accordance with Part III, Standard Conditions, Section E, paragraph 3 of this permit. The SPPP shall include, at a minimum, the following items: 1. Site Overview. The Site Overview shall provide a description of the physical facility and the potential pollutant sources that may be expected to contribute to contamination of stormwater discharges. The Site Overview shall contain the following: (a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle map or appropriately drafted equivalent map), showing the facility's location in relation to transportation routes and surface waters; the name of the receiving waters to which the stormwater outfalls discharge, or if the discharge is to a municipal separate storm sewer system, the name of the municipality and the ultimate receiving waters; and accurate latitude and longitude of the points of stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity. The general location map (or alternatively the site map) shall identify whether any receiving waters are impaired (on the state's 303(d) list of impaired waters) or if the site is located in a watershed for which a TMDL has been established, and what the parameters of concern are. (b) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities, outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and waste disposal practices. A narrative description of the potential pollutants that could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall. (c) A site map drawn at a scale sufficient to clearly depict: the site property boundary; the stormwater discharge outfalls; all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands; industrial activity areas (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads); site topography and finished grade; all drainage features and structures; drainage area boundaries and total contributing area for each outfall; direction of Flow in each drainage area; industrial activities occurring in each drainage area; buildings; stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs); and impervious, surfaces. The site map must indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious, and the site map must include a graphic scale indication and north arrow. (d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants during the previous three (3) years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts. (e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non- stormwater discharges. The permittee shall re -certify annually that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. The certification statement will be signed in accordance with the requirements found in Part 111, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 5. Part it Page I of 10 Permit No. NCG210000 Stormwater Management Strategy. The Stormwater Management Strategy shall contain a narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or minimize the stormwater exposure of significant materials, including structural and nonstructural measures. The Stormwater Management Strategy, at a minimum, shall incorporate the following: (a) Feasibility Study. A review of the technical and economic feasibility of changing the methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure of materials and processes to rainfall and run-on Flows. Wherever practical, the permittee shall prevent exposure of all storage areas, material handling operations, and manufacturing or fueling operations. In areas where elimination of exposure is not practical, this review shall document the feasibility of diverting the stormwater run-on away from areas of potential contamination. (b) Secondary Containment Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is required for: bulk storage of liquid materials including petroleum products; storage in any amount of Section 313 of Title Ill 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 to stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices, which shall be secured closed with a locking mechanism. Any stormwater that accumulates in the containment area shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam, outfall 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 any material. 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 (S) years. For facilities subject to a federal oil Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC), any portion of the SPCC plan fully compliant with the requirements of this permit may be used to demonstrate compliance with this permit. (c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management Practices (BMPs) 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 on 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 Procedures. The Spill Prevention and Response Procedures (SPRP) shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials inventory of the facility. Facility personnel responsible for implementing the SPRP shall be identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and dated by each individual acknowledging their responsibilities for the procedures. A responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility operations that have increased 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. Part II Page 2 of 10 Permit No. NCG210000 4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance and good housekeeping program shall be developed and implemented. The program shall address all stormwater control systems (if applicable), 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 BMPs. 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 where not already addressed under another element of the SPPP. 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 and maintained in the SPPP. S. Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur as part of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a minimum on a semi- annual schedule, once during the first half of the year (January to June), and once during the second half Only 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 at the outfalls required in Part II B, C, and D of this permit. 6. 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. The annual training shall be documented by the signature and printed or typed name of each employee trained. 7. Responsible Party. The SPPP shall identify a specific position or positions responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision of the SPPP. Responsibilities for all components of the SPPP shall be documented and position assignments provided. 8. SPPP Amendment and Annual Update. All aspects of the SPPP shall be reviewed on an annua basis. The permittee shall amend the SPPP whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, site drainage, maintenance, or configuration of the physical features which may have a significant effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. The annual update shall include at a minimum: (a) an updated list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants forth e previous three (3) years, or the notation that no spills have occurred (element of the Site Overview); (b) a written re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges (element of the Site Overview); (c) a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the on -site stormwater BMPs (BMP Summary element of the Stormwater Management Strategy). (d) a review and comparison of sample analytical data to benchmark values (if applicable) over the past year, including a discussion about Tiered Response status. The permittee shall use the Division's Annual Summary Data Monitoring Report (DMR) form, available from the Stormwater Permitting Unit's website (See'Monitoring Forms' here: http://I)ortal.ncdenr.org/web/lr/ni2des-stormwater). Part II Page 3 of 10 Permit No. NC6210000 The Director may notify the permittee when the SPPP does not meet one or more of the minimum requirements of the permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee shall submit a time schedule to the Director for modifying the SPPP to meet minimum requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with Part 111, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 5) to the Director that the changes have been made. 9. SPPP Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and all appropriate BMPs consistent with the provisions of this permit, in order to control contaminants entering surface waters via stormwater. Implementation of the SPPP 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 (5) years and made available to the Director or the Director's authorized representative immediately upon request. SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS A facility that retains exposed accumulations (either exposed to incident precipitation or exposed to stormwater run on) of sawdust, wood chips, bark, mulch, or other similarly sized material on site for more than seven (7) days is required to monitor and report all the site stormwater discharges for the parameters in Table 1. The permittee may petition the DWQ Regional Office Surface Water Protection Supervisor to he excused from the required monitoring: a) upon a DWQ Compliance Evaluation Inspection, and; b) on the basis that DWQ concludes that taken as a whole, site -wide conditions support the assessment of very limited risk of stormwater pollution from the site. c) Among any other factors deemed relevant in his or her own considerations, the Regional Office Supervisor shall consider whether the amount of accumulated exposed materials may be deemed de minimis with respect to the potential to generate stormwater runoff pollutants. Given that all site conditions may be relevant to the determination of what constitutes a de minimis amount, such determinations shall be made on a'case-by-case basis', and shall not be assumed to be generally, or specifically, transferrable to any other permitted site, regardless of superficial similarities. d) The Regional Office Supervisor will communicate any such determination in writing, and shall state any qualifying conditions for the permittee's continuing release from monitoring. DWQ's release letter may remain in effect through subsequent reissued versions of this permit, unless the release letter provides for other conditions or duration. e) If released from monitoring, the permittee must still continue to submit semi-annual Discharge Monitoring Reports, with the notation: "Released from Monitoring by DWQ Regional Office." If at any time there are changes to DWQ's initial site assessment, or to the initial site operating circumstances, the permittee must immediately begin analytical monitoring and reporting in accordance with Tables 1 and 2, and must immediately inform the DWQ Regional Office that analytical monitoring has been instituted. Part 11 Page 4 of 10 Permit No. NCG210000 Table 1 Analytical Moni oring Re uirements Discharge t Characteristics Units Measurement Fre uenc 1 Sample Type2 Sample, Location3 Chemical Oxygen Demand m L semi-annual Grab SDO Total Suspended Solids m L semi-annual Grab SDO Total Rainfal14 inches semi-annual Rain gauge Footnotes 1 Measurement Frequency: Twice per year (unless other provisions of this permit prompt monthly sampling) during a measureable storm event, until either another permit is issued for this facility or until this permit is revoked or rescinded. See Table 2 for schedule of monitoring periods through the end of this permitting cycle. If the facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or Three response actions under the previous General Permit, the facility should continue a monthly monitoring and reporting schedule. 2 Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. 3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the DWQ letter granting ROS shall be kept on site. `l- For each sampled measureable storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge reading must be recorded. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain gauge reading may be substituted for an on -site reading. All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). A measurable storm event is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the permitted site outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours prior. The 72- hour storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a shorter interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and the permittee obtains approval from the local DWQ Regional Office. See Definitions. A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2 sample dates unless monthly monitoring has been instituted under other requirements of this permit. The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified in Table 2, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection (see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and recorded on the DMR. Sampling is not required outside of the facility's normal operating hours. Failure to monitor and report semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring monthly monitoring and reporting for all parameters for a specified time period. "No discharge' from an outfall or inability to collect a sample because of adverse weather conditions during a monitoring period, for example, does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is properly reported.

The permittee must report the results from each sample taken within the monitoring period (See Part III E). However, for purposes of benchmark comparison and Tiered response actions, the permittee shall use the analytical results from the first sample with valid results within the monitoring period. The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3. The benchmark values in Table 3 are not permit limits, but should be used as guidelines for implementation of the permittee's SPPP. Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring and reporting, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. See descriptions of Tier One, Tier Two, and Tier Three response actions below. In the event that the Division releases the permittee from continued monthly monitoring and reporting under Tier Two or Tier Three, DWQ's release letter may remain in effect through subsequent reissuance of this permit, unless the release letter provides for other conditions or duration.

The first valid sampling results are above a benchmark value for anv parameter at anv outfall: Then: The permittee shall: 1. Conduct a stormwater management inspection of the facility within two weeks of receiving sampling results. 2. Identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedence. 3. Identify potential and select the specific: source controls, operational controls, or physical improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern. 4. Implement the selected actions within two months of the inspection. S. Record each instance of a Tier One response in the SPPP. Include the date and value of the benchmark exceedence, the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the selected actions, and the date the selected actions were implemented. 6. Note: Benchmark exceedances for a different parameter separately trigger the several tiered response requirements. Tier Two If: The first valid sampling results from two consecutive monitoring periods are above the benchmark values for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall; Then: The permittee shall: 1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier One. 2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring and reporting for all parameters at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples. Monthly (analytical and qualitative) monitoring and reporting shall continue until three consecutive sample results are below the benchmark values. 3. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee is required to submit a monthly monitoring report indicating "No Flow" to comply with reporting requirements. 4. Alternatively, in lieu of steps 2 and 3, the permittee may, after two consecutive exceedances, exercise the option of contacting the DWQ Regional Office Supervisor as provided below in Tier Three. The Regional Office Supervisor may direct the response actions on the part of the permittee as provided in Tier Three, including reduced or additional sampling parameters or frequency. S. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the SPPP. 6. Continue Tier Two response obligations throughout the permit COC renewal process. Tier Three y If the valid sampling results required for the permit monitoring periods exceed the benchmark value for any specific parameter at any specific outfall on four occasions, the permittee shall notify the DWQ Regional Office Supervisor in writing within 30 days of receipt of the fourth analytical results. DWQ may but is not limited to: • require the permittee to revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring and reporting frequency for some or all parameters required herein, including requiring sampling of additional or substitute parameters; • rescind coverage under the General Permit, and require that the permittee apply for an individual stormwater discharge permit; • require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls; • require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures; • require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize impacts on receiving waters; • require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion; or • require the permittee to continue Tier Three obligations through the permit COC renewal process, and possibly into the next permit cycle. Part 11 Page 7 of 10 Permit No. NCG210000 SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS All facilities covered by this permit must perform Qualitative Monitoring. The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of the SPPP and to assess new sources of stormwater pollution. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls must be performed during a measurable storm event. Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall associated with industrial activity regardless of representative outfall status. Qualitative monitoring shall be performed semi-annually as specified in Table 4, and during required analytical monitoring events if applicable (unless the permittee is required to perform further qualitative sampling per the Qualitative Monitoring Response below). Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and recorded on the DMR (see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must be monitored (See Definitions). In the event an atypical condition is noted at a stormwater discharge outfall, the permittee shall document the suspected cause of the condition and any actions taken in response to the discovery. This documentation will be maintained with the SPPP.

See Table 2 for schedule of monitoring periods. The permittee must continue qualitative monitoring throughout the permit renewal process. 2 Monitoring Location: Qualitative monitoring shall be performed at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) associated with industrial activity, regardless of representative outfall status (ROS). A minimum of 60 days must separate monitoring dates, unless additional sampling has been instituted as part of other analytical monitoring requirements in this permit. If the permittee's qualitative monitoring indicates that existing stormwater BMPs are ineffective, or that significant stormwater contamination is present, the permittee shall investigate potential causes, evaluate the feasibility of corrective actions, and implement those corrective actions within 60 days, per the Part I I Page 8 of 10 Permit No. NCG210000 Qualitative Monitoring Response, below. A written record of the permittee's investigation, evaluation, and response actions shall be kept in the SPPP. Qualitative Monitoring Res�onse r " Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluating SPPP effectiveness, assessing new sources of stormwater pollution, and prompting the permittee's response to pollution. if the permittee repeatedly fails to respond effectively to correct problems identified by qualitative monitoring, or if the discharge causes or contributes to a water quality standard violation, DWQ may but is not limited to: • require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease monitoring frequency for some or all parameters (analytical or qualitative); • require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls; • require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures; • require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize impacts on receiving waters; or • require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion. SECTION D: ON -SITE VEHICLE MAINTENANCE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Facilities that have any vehicle maintenance activity occurring on -site which uses more than 55 gallons of new motor oil and hydraulic oil per month, combined, when averaged over the calendar year shall perform analytical monitoring as specified below in Table S. All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at all stormwater discharge outfalls (SDOs) that discharge stormwater runoff from vehicle maintenance areas. Table 5 Analytical Monitoring Requirements for On -Site Vehicle Maintenance Discharge Characteristics Units Measurement Fre uenc 1 Sample Type! .

Measurement Frequency: Twice per year (unless other provisions of this permit prompt monthly sampling) during a measureable storm event, until either another permit is issued for this facility or until this permit is revoked or rescinded. If the facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or Three response actions under the previous General Permit, the facility should continue a monthly monitoring and reporting schedule. Z Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. Part 11 Page 9 of 10 Permit No. NCG210000 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) that discharges stormwater runoff from area(s) where vehicle maintenance activities occur, unless representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the letter granting ROS shall be kept on site. For each sampled measureable storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge reading must be recorded. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain gauge reading may be substituted for an on -site reading. The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified in Table 2, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection (see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and recorded on the DMR. Sampling is not required outside of the facility's normal operating hours. Failure to monitor and report semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period. "No discharge" from an outfall or inability to collect a sample because of adverse weather conditions during a monitoring period, for example, does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is properly reported. The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 6. Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. See descriptions of Tier One, Tier Two, and Tier Three response actions in Part II Section B above. In the event that the Division releases the permittee from continued monthly monitoring under Tier Two or Tier Three, DWQ's release letter may remain in effect through subsequent reissuance of this permit, unless the release letter provides for other conditions or duration. The permittee must report the results from each sample taken within the monitoring period (See Part HIE). However, for purposes of benchmark comparison and Tiered response actions, the permittee shall use the analytical results from the first sample with valid results within the monitoring period.

The Certificate of Coverage shall expire when the general permit is terminated. Part III Page S of 10 Penn it No. NCG210000 Certificate of Coverage Actions Coverage under the general permit may be modified, revoked and reissued, or terminated for cause. The notification of planned changes or anticipated noncompliance does not stay any general permit condition [40 CFR 122.41(f)]. 8. Annual Administering and Compliance Monitoring Fee -Requirements The permittee must pay the administering and compliance monitoring fee within 30 (thirty) days after being billed by the Division. Failure to pay the fee in timely manner inaccordance with 1 SA NCAC 2H .0105(b)(2) may cause this Division to initiate action to revoke coverage under the general permit SECTION C: OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF POLLUTION CONTROLS 1. Proper Operation and Maintenance The permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit Proper operation and maintenance also includes adequate laboratory controls and appropriate quality assurance procedures. This provision requires the operation of back-up or auxiliary facilities or similar systems which are installed by a permittee only when the operation is necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit [40 CFR 122.41(c)]. 2. Need to Halt or Reduce Not a Defense It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the condition of this general permit [40 CFR 122.41(c)]. 3. Bypassing of Stormwater Control Facilities Bypass is prohibited and the Director may take enforcement action against a permittee for bypass unless: a. Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property damage; and b. There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary control facilities, retention of stormwater or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime or dry weather. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup controls should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and c. The permittee submitted notices as required under, Part III, Section E of this general permit If the Director determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above, the Director may approve an anticipated bypass after considering its adverse effects. SECTION D: MONITORING AND RECORDS Representative Sampling Samples collected and measurements taken, as required herein, shall be characteristic of the volume and nature of the permitted discharge. Analytical sampling shall be performed during a measureable storm event Samples shall be taken on a day and time that is characteristic of the discharge. All samples shall be taken before the discharge joins or is diluted by any other waste stream, body of water, or substance. Monitoring points as specified in this general permit shall not be changed without notification to and approval of the Permit Issuing Authority [40 CFR 122.410)1. Part III Page 6 of 10 Permit No. NCG210000 2. Recording Results For each measurement or sample taken pursuant to the requirements of this general permit, the permittee shall record the following information [40 CFR 122.41]: a. The date, exact place, and time of sampling or measurements; b. The individuals) who performed the sampling or measurements; c. The date(s) analyses were performed; d. The individual(s) who performed the analyses; L. The analytical techniques or methods used; and f. The results of such analyses. 3. Flow Measurements Where required, appropriate Flow measurement devices and methods consistent with accepted scientific practices shall be selected and used to ensure the accuracy and reliability of measurements of the volume of monitored discharges. 4. Test Procedures Test procedures for the analysis of pollutants shall conform to the CIVIC regulations published pursuant to NCGS 143-215.63 et. seq, the Water and Air Quality Reporting Acts, and to regulations published pursuant to Section 304(g), 33 USC 1314, of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as Amended, and Regulation 40 CFR 136. To meet the intent of the monitoring required by this general permit, all test procedures must produce minimum detection and reporting levels and all data generated must be reported down to the minimum detection or lower reporting level of the procedure. If no approved methods are determined capable of achieving minimum detection and reporting levels below general permit discharge requirements, then the most sensitive (method with the lowest possible detection and reporting level) approved method must be used. S. Representative Outfall If a facility has multiple discharge locations with substantially identical stormwater discharges that are required to be sampled, the permittee may petition the Director for representative outfall status. If it is established that the stormwater discharges are substantially identical and the permittee is granted representative outfall status, then sampling requirements may be performed at a reduced number of outfalls. 6. Records Retention Qualitative monitoring shall be documented and records maintained at the facility along with the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). Copies of analytical monitoring results shall also be maintained on -site. The permittee shall retain records of all monitoring information, including o all calibration and maintenance records, o all original strip chart recordings for continuous monitoring instrumentation, o copies of all reports required by this general permit, o copies of all data used to complete the Notice of Intent to be covered by this general permit. These records or copies shall be maintained for a period of at least S years from the date of the sample, measurement, report or Notice of Intent application. This period may be extended by request of the Director at any time [40 CFR 122.41]. If this volume of records cannot be maintained on -site, the documents must be made available to an inspector upon request as immediately as possible. Inspection and Entry Part III Page 7 of 10 Permit No. NCG210000 The permittee shall allow the Director, or an authorized representative (including an authorized contractor acting as a representative of the Director), or in the case of a facility which discharges through a municipal separate storm sewer system, an authorized representative of a municipal operator or the separate storm sewer system receiving the discharge, upon the presentation of credentials and other documents as may be required by law, to: a. Enter upon the permittee's premises where a regulated facility or activity is located or conducted, or where records must be kept under the conditions of this general permit; b. Have access to and copy, at reasonable times, any records that must be kept under the conditions of this general permit; c. Inspect at reasonable times any facilities, equipment (including monitoring and control equipment), practices, or operations regulated or required under this general permit; and d. Sample or monitor at reasonable times, for the purposes of assuring permit compliance or as otherwise authorized by the Clean Water Act, any substances or parameters at any location [40 CFR 122.41(i)]. SECTION E: REPORTING REQUIREMENTS Discharge Monitoring Reports Samples analyzed in accordance with the terms of this general permit shall be submitted to the Division on Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) forms provided by the Director. DMR forms are available on the Division's website (http�///aortal ncdenr.orncdenr.org/web�npdes-stormwater). Submittals shall be delivered to the Division no later than 30 days from the date the facility receives the sampling results from the laboratory. When no discharge has occurred from the facility during the report period, the permittee is required to submit a discharge monitoring report, within 30 days of the end of the specified sampling period, giving all required information and indicating "NO FLOW" as per NCAC T15A 02B .0506. If the permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by this general permit using test procedures approved under 40 CFR Part 136 and at a sampling location specified in this general permit or other appropriate instrument governing the discharge, the results of such monitoring shall be included in the data submitted on the DMR. The permittee shall record the required qualitative monitoring observations on the SDO Qualitative Monitoring Report form provided by the Division and shall retain the completed forms on site.

Wet Deck Storage Site NPDES Permit No. NCO085936 Stormwater Permit No. NCG210290 On October 13, 2010, 1, Mitch Hayes, of the Raleigh Regional Office, conducted a compliance evaluation inspection at the subject facility. The assistance of Kevin Williams, Vice President, with this inspection was greatly appreciated. Below is a list of findings and recommendations developed from the inspection: 1. The subject NPDES permit was reissued and became effective July 1, 2008 and will expire March 31, 2013. Request for permit renewal must be made 180 days before permit expiration date. 2. Logs are brought in by tractor trailer trucks and unloaded onto a concrete pad. Logs are sprayed with overhead irrigation from wells to prevent bacteria growth that causes blue staining in the wood. Discharge from the irrigation flows through screens to prevent large pieces of bark from entering a drainage ditch. Screens and drainage areas are cleaned daily to prevent bark from building up. The color of the effluent at Outfall 001 appeared to be dark brown most likely due to high tannin content. 3. Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMR's) for the review period July 2009 through July 2010 were reviewed for compliance with permit limits and monitoring requirements. Permit limit for total suspended solids were exceeded on 09/15/2010 and 09/22/2010 and for the month of September 2010. There were no other violations for the review period. Commercial lab results, chain of custody records submitted on the DMR for the month of July Laboratory, Inc. performs all analyses. Stormwater Permit Number NCG210290 , and bench sheets were compared with data 2010. No discrepancies were noted. Tritest 5.

The assistance of Bill Langley was appreciated. Attached to this letter is the Basinwide Information Management System (BIMS) inspection checklist summarizing the inspection. Some items noted during the inspection are noted below: 1. The subject NPDES permit was reissued and became effective January 1, 2004 and expires February 29, 2008. I have reviewed the permit renewal and will foreword my comments to the NPDES Unit. The subject facility has no classification and requires no Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC). 2. Discharge from the facility occurs when spraying of logs occurs. There was no discharge at the time of inspection. Screens are placed in the main flow area to catch any large pieces of bark that flow down with the wash water. Water in the ditch downstream of the wet decking operation appeared clear with no indication of sediment build-up. 3. Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMR's) for the period January 2007 through December 2007 were review for compliance with permit limits and monitoring requirements. It is noted that the parameter code for oil and grease 00556 and settleable solids 00545 are not written in the column on the DMR. Parameter code 00600 for Total Nitrogen should also be used when reporting Total Nitrogen in pounds per quarter and Total Nitrogen in pounds in pounds per year. There were no other violations noted during the period. 4. Commercial lab results, chain of custody records, and bench sheets were compared with data submitted on the DMR for the month of November 2007. No discrepancies were noted. Microbic Laboratory, Inc. performs all analyses. Field parameter pH is being analyzed although pH is not a required parameter in the permit. You may choose not to analyze pH if you want to.

Williams & Sons, Inc., Wet Deck Storage Site NPDES Permit No. NCO085936 Stormwater Permit No: NCG210290 Johnston County Dear Mr. Williams: Mitch Hayes performed the subject inspection on April 04, 2007. The assistance of Bill Langley, John Fox, and Kevin Williams was appreciated. Attached to this letter is the Basinwide Information Management System (BIMS) inspection checklist summarizing the inspection. Some items noted during the inspection are noted below: 1. The subject NPDES permit was reissued and became effective January 1, 2004 and expires February 29, 2008. Please ensure to reapply for permit renewal by September 30, 2007 to avoid penalty assessment. The subject facility has no classification and requires no Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC). 2. Discharge from the facility occurs when spraying of logs occurs. There was no discharge at the time of inspection. Drainage areas where water would flow on the concrete pad are kept swept of bark. Addition of screens in the main flow areas catches any bark that flow down with the wash water. The discharge point has been change since the last inspection. The new discharge point is more representative of the discharge of the wet decking operation, as it does not receive flow from other stormwater drainage. The other two discharge points from the concrete pad should be covered under the stormwater permit NCG210290. Water in the ditch downstream of the wet decking operation appeared clear with no indication of sediment build-up. 3. Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMR's) for the period February 2006 through January 2007 were review for compliance with permit limits and monitoring requirements. Daily permit limit for TSS was exceeded on 12/04/2006. Monthly permit limit for TSS was exceeded for December 2006. Quarterly Total Phosphorus has not been monitored and reported for the review period. It was determined that Quarterly Total Phosphorus was being analyzed but not being reported on the DMR. Yearly and Quarterly Nitrogen is not being reported in pounds per month for the review period. This was noted in last year's inspection. Total Nitrogen, Total Nitrogen components and Total Phosphorus should be North Carolina Division of Water Quality Raleigh Regional Office Surface Water Protection Phone (919) 791-4200 Customer Service Internet: www.newateraualitv.ore 1628 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1628 FAX (919) 571-4718 1-877-623-6748 On� An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer-50%Recycledl10% Post Consumer Paper N�`nCarolina Wma!!y Jerry Williams & Sons CEI Page 2 monitored and reported each quarter on the same day as other samples are collected.

No discrepancies were noted. Microbic Laboratory, Inc. performs all analyses except pH, which the staff is field certified. 5. Mr. Langley inquired about other laboratories with N.0 wastewater certification. A list can be found at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us./Iab/nccert.htm Laboratories outside N.C. with N.C. wastewater certification can be found at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us./lab/notnccert.htm Stormwater Permit NCG210290 6. Permit NCG210290 was issued and became effective on May 01, 2003 and will expire on April 30, 2008. Permit renewal is required by November 30, 2007 to avoid penalty assessment. A review of the permit requirements was conducted after the CEI for NC0085936. Qualitative monitoring and reporting requirements for June and November 2006 were checked and found to have all necessary required fields. Analytical monitoring for on -site vehicle maintenance was monitored and reported for 2006. Cut-off concentrations for the parameters were being met. 7. The stormwater permit could not be located during inspection but was found the next day. A review of the permit was done during a recon site visit on April 13, 2007. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) has not been reviewed or evaluated since it was written July 01, 2005. Inspection of equipment and tanks has not been documented. Documentation of employee training on proper spill response and cleanup procedures is not being documented. A facility site map drawn to scale indicating location of industrial activities, drainage structures, drainage areas for each outfall and activities occurring in the drainage area, building locations, existing BMPs and impervious surfaces, and the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious has not been completed. Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges has not been completed. Detailed information on the SWPPP can be found in the Stormwater Permit in Part 11, Section A. All components of the SWPPP were required to be developed and implemented within 12 months of the effective date of the initial certificate of coverage. Please implement the above deficiencies by June 04, 2007 to avoid enforcement action being taken. I would again like to thank Bill Langley, John Fox, and Kevin Williams for their assistance with this inspection.

All components of the SWPPP was required to be developed and implemented within 12 months of the effective date of the initial certificate of coverage. There are two distinct stormwater outfalls. These outfalls receive discharge from the concrete pad that slopes downhill of the wetdecking operation. The outfalls dicharge into a stormwater ditch that also receives flow from the wetdecking operation and stormwater from an adjacent subdivision behind the facility. Flow in the stormwater ditch drains into a roadside ditch where it mixes with stormwater draining from a pipe under the road. This stormwater eventually flows to an unnamed tributary to the Neuse River. Screens are placed on the pad in drainage area to catch bark. Water in the stormwater ditch at the stormwater outfall discharge point was brownish and turbid.

Sincerely, JERRY G. WILLIAMS & SONS, INC. John Fox Vice President of Operations Jerry G. Williams & Sons, Inc. P.O. Box 2430 - 52.4 Brogden Road Smithfield, NC 27577 Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Training Overview We have a written Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan for this site as required by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Natural Resources. Two written copies of the plan exist on site. One copy is located in the Front Office Conference Room and the other is located in the office of John Fox, VP Sales, Marketing, Admin, and HSE. Please familiarize yourselves with this plan in detail if need be. The intent of the plan is as follows: to identify and be aware of all potential stormwater pollution sources that may be generated on site; to develop and implement practices to minimize, control and/or eliminate these sources; and to ensure compliance with this plan. Some of the potential stormwater pollution sources might be any one of the following — oil, fuel, sawdust, bark waste, mulch, waste water from the boilers, sewage, boiler and/or cooling tower blowdown, boiler water treatment chemical, etc. Point sources would then be such things as all oil storage tanks, all fuel storage tanks, bark waste loading area, sawdust piles, sawdust silos, log delivery area, log storage area, dry kiln condensate return tanks, air compressors, electrical transformers, cooling tower, boiler, lumber storage area, mulch pile, trash bins, vehicle maintenance shop area, etc. The key to the implementation and compliance of this plan is to recognize all sources, and to take measures to minimize the possibility of these sources getting into stormwater. This can be done in several different ways. Some include building dykes around storage tanks, fixing leaks immediately, installing high level switches on storage tanks to prevent overflows, storing waste cans inside, good housekeeping practices, etc. Two semi-annual inspections will be done each year by management representatives as a part of this plan in order to identify areas needing attention. Action should then be taken as soon as possible to correct any deficiencies that are found. All employees can help by being careful not to create spills, by properly cleaning up spills when they occur, by practicing good housekeeping, etc. In the event of a spill, evidence of chemicals or petroleum products in stormwater runoff, or obvious exposure of the same to an eventual rain storm event, please contact your supervisor immediately. And/or contact one of the following — John Fox, Craig Gray, or Bill Langley. Spills that are minor in nature, or that can be controlled and properly cleaned up by the employee in the immediate area, and do not contact soils or waters of the state, do not require reporting. Taking care of the environment is the responsibility of each and every one of us. We all want our children and families to be able to enjoy this beautiful world that God has so graciously given us. Let's all do our part to protect the soil, the air, and the water of the land in which we live — it's the least we can do to show appreciation for what we have. \0" W ATF9OG co r O -C J Mack Williams Jerry G Williams & Sons Inc PO Box 2430 Smithfield, NC 27577 Dear Permittee: Michael F.
