.0 R Technical Bulletin for N.C. General
Stormwater Permit NCG210000
Technical Bulletin for NCG210000, Volume IV Last Revised 3/ 1 B/201 1
What activities are covered by this general permit?
NCG210000 allows stormwater discharges associated with establishments primarily engaged in Timber
Products [standard industrial classification (SIC) 241 and activities deemed by DWQ to be similar in the proc-
ess and/or the exposure of raw materials, products, by-products, or waste materials. In 2011, the general
permit was modified to cover discharges from Wood Chip Mills, which were previously excluded.
Excluded: Wood Kitchen Cabinets [SIC 24341 and Wood Preserving [SIC 24911.
What are the key permit requirements?
• Implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) (Part II, Section A).
• Provide secondary containment for all bulk storage of liquid materials (Part II, Section A, 2.(b)).
• Perform and document qualitative monitoring during a representative storm event (Part 11, Section Q.
• Perform analytical monitoring twice per year if storing exposed piles of sawdust, wood chips, bark, mulch, or
like materials on site for more than seven (7) days and submit the results on the monitoring report forms pro-
vided with the permit (Part II, Section B).
What has changed since the last renewal?
Some of the major changes since the last renewal include:
• Twice per year monitoring of pH, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) for
facilities storing exposed piles of sawdust, wood chips, bark, mulch, or like materials for longer than a week.
• Refinements and clarifications to the SPPP requirements; refer to Part II, Section A.
• Tiered response requirements for benchmark exceedences based on analytical results, and direction to notify
the Regional Office in the event of four benchmark exceedances. Benchmarks are not limits.
• Twice per year qualitative monitoring [luring a representative storm event.
• Requirement to use forms provided by the Division to record qualitative monitoring results.
• Perform analytical monitoring twice per year for any vehicle maintenance area (Part 11, Section D).
What are BMPs, and why are they important?
The SPPP should include "Best Management Practices" (BMPs) to control discharge of pollutants from a facil-
ity's stormwater outfalls. BMPs include a variety of things that help minimize potential for pollutants to get
into the stormwater draining from a facility. There are different types of BMPs:
Non-structural (practices or activities) BMPs include:
• Eliminating exposure of materials and equipment wherever possible by moving them to indoor locations.
• Practicing good housekeeping on -site. Handle and store materials at the facility in an orderly fashion.
• Exchanging hazardous materials for non -hazardous ones wherever possible.
• Establishing routine leak & maintenance checks to minimize chance of spills. Clean up spills immediately.
• Establishing bulk storage tank protocols that minimize the risk of spills during loading and unloading.
• Store used pallets and process waste dumpsters inside or under roof so water can't flow on or around them.
Structural (equipment or devices) BMPs include:
• Containment dikes around the loading areas of bulk liquid storage containers.
• Changing painting operations from liquid systems to powdered systems that do not generate solvent waste.

Frequently Asked Questions
Could I be exempted from an
NPDES stormwater permit?
Possibly. A facility with industrial
activity subject to the NPDES
Stormwater regulations that elimi-
nates all potential stormwater ex-
posure may be eligible for a No
Exposure Exclusion from a permit.
A facility that meets this condition
may submit a No Exposure Certifi-
cation application (see our website
below).
What if I sell my business, or
the name changes?
This change is a minor modifica-
tion and requires the Director's
approval. Complete the Name/
Ownership Change Form SWU-
239, , available on our website:
http://porta 1. ncde nr.org/web/wq/
ws/su
Do I have to monitor all the
outfalls?
Yes. However, you may request
Representative Outfall Status
(ROS). If approved, this status
allows analytical monitoring at
fewer outfalls. To request ROS,
submit a ROS Request Form SWU
ROS to the DWQ Regional Office.
The form is available on our web -
site (see above).
Other resources
In addition to the Stormwater Per-
mitting Unit's website above, the
Division of Pollution Prevention
and Environmental Assistance is a
valuable resource. The DPPEA
has specific information about how
to minimize pollutants at various
industries. Call [phone]
or visit:
http://www.p2pays.org/
Does a certified lab need to
analyze my samples?
Monitoring under all NPDES per-
mits must be conducted in accor-
dance with test procedures ap-
proved under federal regulations in
40 CFR §136. Labs certified by
North Carolina perform analysis in
accordance with those procedures.
N.C. certification requirements do
not apply to stormwater only dis-
charges, but data gathered under
an NPDES permit must conform to
federal requirements. Using a cer-
tified lab is one way to ensure com-
pliance. A list of certified labs is
available from: http://
portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/lab/cert/
Note that pH is a field parameter
and must be measured within
15 minutes. You must train on -
site staff to measure pH using ap-
proved methods or contract with
commercial services. All entities
with field parameter certification
per 15A NCAC 2H .0500 can ana-
lyze pH in accordance with federal
procedures (see website for list).
How big of a pile triggers
monitoring?
The permittee must perform ana-
lytical monitoring if the facility
stores exposed piles of sawdust,
wood chips, bark, mulch, or similar
materials for longer than seven (7)
days. The permit does not specify a
size threshold because a large area
covered in "small mounds" could
impact stormwater as mach as one
large pile. If reasonable judgment
tells you there are piles on site,
monitoring is required unless that
material is removed within a
week. Also, removing only the top
portion of piles and leaving signifi-
cant amounts of material on the
bottom does not satisfy the
monitoring exemption. Further-
more, in some cases DWQ may
determine leachate from such piles
is a wastewater. The facility
should prevent discharge of pile
leachate as much as possible.
Do I have to keep a record of
every little piece of sawdust to
prove I don't have to monitor?
No. However, if the facility "opts
out" of analytical monitoring be-
cause it removes piles within a
week's time, DWQ expects the fa-
cility to keep a record of when the
material was generated, and when
and how it was removed to demon-
strate short periods of storage.
If I'm sampling my discharge,
do 1 do qualitative monitoring
at the same time?
We advise you to. The permit does
not specify it, which was an over-
sight. However, if you are subject
to analytical monitoring, it is prac-
tical to do both at the same time.
