Subject: NPDES Permit Modification — Name/Ownership Change
Permit NCG210333
Edisto farm Credit, ACA
(Formerly Upchurch, Inc.)
Martin County
In accordance with your request received July 11, 2000, the Division is forwarding the
subject permit modification for the sawmill previously owned by Upchurch, Inc. at this location.
This modification documents the change in name/ownership at the subject facility. All other
terms and conditions in the original permit and original permit application package remain
unchanged and in full effect (see attached). Issuance of this permit is based on the
original permit application which stated that over 80% of the operation at this site will be a
sawmill operation with the remaining portion of the operation being a chip mill operation.
This, permit modification is issued under the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-
215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U. S. Environmental
Protection Agency dated December 6, 1983.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit
are unacceptable to you, you have the right to request an individual permit by submitting an
individual permit application. Unless such demand is made, this certificate of coverage shall be
final and binding.
The Division is currently reviewing your request for an individual NPDES stormwater
permit to operate this facility as a wood chip mill. Before this operational change can take place
for this facility you must receive this individual permit coverage.
This permit does not affect the legal requirement to obtain other permits which may be
required by the Division of Water Quality, the Division of Land Resources, Coastal Area
Management Act, or any other Federal, State or Local government permit that may be required.
If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact Bradley Bennett at (919) 733-
5083 Ext. 525 or at the address listed below.

Subject: NPDES Permit Coverage
Former Upchurch, Inc. Site
Martin County
Dear Mr. Richardson and Mr. Hiers:
1 M M T U 1J LS
JUN 2 0 2000
The purpose of this letter is to determine which of you intends to set up a business at the former Upchurch
site in Martin County. Each of you has had contact with the Division for a different type of water quality permit for
this site. Mr. Richardson, in a telephone conversation with Aisha Lau on June 8, 2000, inquired about a name
change to transfer the Upchurch certificate of coverage under the NCG21 general stormwater permit to his client.
Mr. Richardson informed Ms. Lau that his client's main business at the site would be chipping operations along with
some sawmill and debarking operations. He also indicated that a wet decking process would be utilized.
Mr. Hiers, of Edisto Farm Credit, filed an application for an individual NPDES permit on April 3, 2000.
Edisto's application indicated that it intended to operate a chip mill as well. The application did not indicate
intentions to operate a wet decking process or saw mill operations.
Before the Division can proceed further, we request that each of you inform us in writing as to the identity of
the current owner of this site. Please include the paperwork which indicates the transfer in ownership from
Upchurch, Inc. to the current owner. Secondly, the current owner must inform the Division of the type of business
that is to be conducted at this site and the name of the corporation or individual that is going to operate the
business. Also, please inform the Division whether a wet decking process will be utilized. Once these issues are
clarified we can proceed with our review and may request additional information.
Please note that at the present time there is no general stormwater permit coverage available for wood chip
mills. The NCG21 permit is available to sawmills and other timber products operations, but it is not available for
wood chip mills. Thus, if the entity that is going to establish a business on the Upchurch site intends to set up a chip
mill, the proper permit is an individual NPDES permit. If there is going to be a wet decking operation, regardless of
the type of enterprise, the proper permit is an individual NPDES permit.

unless the appropriate additional permits are obtained from DWQ, including the
individual permit Edisto now seeks. Upon the transfer of the Certificate of Coverage
from Upchurch to Edisto, Edisto intends to retain the services of North Carolina Fiber

the Certificate of Coverage while North Carolina Fiber Group will be the operator.
Your letter also discusses inquiries made by Mr. Hood Richardson to DWQ staff
regarding wet decking operations at the site. It is our understanding that Mr. Richardson
had been asked by North Carolina Fiber Group, LLC to inquire about permitting
requirements under various scenarios, including wet decking. However, Edisto is the

will not perform any wet decking operations at the site without the appropriate permits.
Furthermore, per the attached letter, it is our understanding that Mr- Hood Richardson
will not be pursuing any further options regarding this site on behalf of North Carolina
Fiber Group. Therefore, in the future, please direct your requests for additional

Re: permit Coverage; FormeT Upchurch, Inc. Site (Martin County)
Dear Mr. Bennett:
I am writing in response to your letter dated Mine 15, 2000 in which you inquired about
the former Upchurch, Inc. site (the site) in Williamston, North Carolina (Martin County).
In -yOlLr1P.Ut'r you excrre:ycll
A-C.A. (Edisto) at Me si-M.
Edisto is the current occupant of the site by viitue of the assignment of lease from
Upchurch, Inc. to Edisto on May 10 1999. A copy of the -Assignment of Lease
Agreement is enclosed. Edisto also owns all of the assets formerly owned by Upchurch,
Inc., including all equipment and machinery at the site.
Your letter notes that Edisto has applied for an individual NPDES permit. Edisto's
application indicates that Edisto intends to operate a chip mill at the site and that the only
discharge to surface waters will be storm water(i.e., Edisto will not discharge a process
wastewater from wet decking operations). 'I he information contained in the application
dated April 3, 2000 is still correct. Therefore, we urge the Division of Water Quality
(DWQ) to proceed with it's review of our pending application.
On October 21,1998,DWQ issued Certificate of Coverage NCG2 10333 to Upchurch,
Inc. for the discharge of storm water from a sawmill at the site in accordance with Storm
water General Permit No. NCG210000 (NCCW ). Pending AWO's final action on the

June 15, 2000
Subject: NPDES Permit Coverage
Former Upchurch, Ino- Site
Martin County
The purpose of this letter is to determine which of you intends to set up a business at the former Upchurch
site in Martin County- Each of you has had contact with thel Division for a different type of water quality,permit for
this site- Mr. Richardson, in a telephone conversation with Aisha Lau on June 8, 2006, inquired about a. name
change to transfer the Upchurch certificate of coverage under the NCG21 general stormwater permit to his client.
Mr. Richardson informed Ms. Lau that his client's main business at the site would be chipping operations along with
some sawmill and debarking operations. He also indicated that a wet decking process would be utilized.
Mr. Hiers, of Edisto Farm Credit, filed an application for an individual NPDES permit on April 3, 2000.
Edisto's application indicated that it intended to operate a chip mill as well. The application did not indicate
Intentions to operate a wet decking process or saw mill operations.
Before the Division can proceed further, we request that each of you inform us in writing as to the identity of
the current owner of this site. Please Include the paperwork which indicates the transfer in ownership from
Upchurch, Inc. to the current owner. Secondly, the ourrentowner must Inform the Division of the typo of business
that is to be conducted at this site and the name of the corporation or individual that is going to operate me
business. Also, please inform the Division whether a wet dscking process will be utilized. Once these Issues are
clarified we can proceed with our review and may request additional information.
Please note that at the present time there is no general stomnwater permit coverage available for wood chip
mills. The NCG21 permit is available to sawmills and other timber products operations, but it is not available for
wood chip mills. Thus, if the entity that is going to establish a business on the Upchurch site intends to set up a chip
mill, the proper permit is an individual NPDES permit. If there is going to be a wet decking operation, regardless of
the type of enterprise, the proper permit is an individual NPDES permit.
If you have any questions, concerning this matter please contact me at telephone number [phone]
ext. 525.

there is no historical stormwater monitoring data for the facility. We were also unable to
locate historical monitoring data for similar facilities. Based on our conversation, it Is our
understanding that the permit will be issued with general monitoring requirements and then
amended to include site specific potential pollutants, if any, once the facility is operational
and stormwater quality data is available. We appreciate your assistance with this.process.

Dear Mr. Bennett,
I hope the enclosed site plan and the following additional information concerning the proposed Upchurch sawmill will give you the
information needed for securing the necessary certificate of coverage.
Lumber production will be approximately 40,000 boardfeet per day and approximately 83% of the income from the facility will
be derived from lumber sales.
By-products will be approximately 2 tons of chips and 2 tons of bark and sawdust per thousand boardfeet. Approximately 17%
of the facility's income will be derived from the sale of these by-products.
All by-products will be moved from the site on a daily basis.
The proposed sawmill operations are as follows:
Logs will be weighed in at the existing scales and unloaded by the existing crane. Wood will be stacked around the crane
as was done previously. Wood will be fed into the merchandising system and from there, cut to length logs will feed into
the debarker. Logs will flow through the debarker into the infeed to the sawmill where a hydraulic loader will pull logs
onto the infeed chain to the saw carriage. The logs will be sawn on a conventional carriage and the resulting lumber off-
loaded to conveyors where it will be stacked for shipment. Slabs from the carriage will be conveyed to the chipper. Waste
wood from the merchandiser will be chipped into a by-product by the existing chipper. These chips will be screened and
loaded into trucks for transport on a daily basis. Bark from the debarker will be conveyed to a "hog" where
It is pulverized into another by-product. This, too, will be loaded into trucks for transport on a daily basis.
This is a conventional sawmill design.

As detailed in the site plan, Upchurch will be adding sawmill machinery as per the attached plan, as well as using most of the existing
equipment. The conveyors and the chip reclaim to the barge loading area will not be used, however, because all products will be
transported by truck.
Upchurch would like to begin construction of the sawmill at Williamston as soon as possible and thus would appreciate your
expedited consideration of the Notice of Intent.
Thank you.

The purpose of this letter is to request additional information on the referenced permit
application. After discussions with the Division of Water Quality (Division) Washington
Regional Office there are some questions concerning the site layout and operation of the
sawmill at this location.
The Division would like to see a site plan detailing:
• The equipment that is already on site that would be used by the saw mill
• New equipment that will be brought in
• Log storage areas
• Lumber storage areas
• Waste piles
The Division would also like to know the volume of lumber and waste wood you intend
to generate on a daily basis and what you intend to do with the waste wood, bark, etc.
Please briefly describe the steps of your saw mill operation from arrival of the logs at the
mill until the lumber and waste wood products are removed from the site.

SUBJECT: Director's Meeting (3/25/98)
Upchurch Chip Mill
The situation for the above is the following:
Mr. Upchurch operated a Chip Mill at the old Olin Site near the Hwy. 64 Bridge in Williamston, a
couple of years ago and then closed down. At the time of operation he hired an engineer to get all
needed permits. 1 believe the firm was F. T. Green and Associates but I'm not sure. Well, the
engineer talked to Bill Moore about coastal stormwater and Bill informed him that he did not need
a permit. The engineer never inquired about a federal stormwater permit. So, Mr. Upchurch started
his operation thinking he had all necessary permits.
Mr. Upchurch called the office approximately three to four months ago to inquire about starting his
operation again. I asked if he had a stormwater permit (federal) and he said that his engineer had said
he did not need one based on Bill Moore's conversation. I checked with the database to see if he had
a permit and he did not. I then talked with Bill, to check his memory on the matter. Bill did not
remember talking about a federal permit at the time, only coastal stormwater.
I then met Mr. Upchurch on site to determine if he needed a permit or not. With the proposed site
he needed a permit and informed him that he needed a permit before startup. He then asked the
question about startup after an application had been submitted. I quoted the law again and told him
that I would check on the matter. Well I checked with Raleigh, and again called him back and quoted
him the law. At that point the Director sent him a letter stating the above. See attached.

Subject: Reopening of Chip Mill
Upchurch Lumber - Williamston
Martin County
This letter is in response to your recent inquiries concerning the reopening of a wood chip mill facility in
Williamston, NC. It is my understanding that this facility has previously been open and operational but
has been closed for the last year or so. I also understand that this facility has never applied for permit
coverage for stormwater point source discharges. The Division of Water Quality is responsible for the
<implementation of National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits within North
Carolina. Under this program the Division requires NPDES permits for point source discharges of
stormwater from certain categories of industrial activities. Wood chip mills are a part of the Lumber and
Wood Products Industry which is subject to these NPDES stormwater permits.
You have previously had discussions with staff from our central and regional offices concerning the
NPDES stormwater permitting process for your facility. One of your major concerns in these discussions
was our requirement that the facility be permitted before it begins operations. I will be happy to discuss
our position on permitting of this facility with you. Please call me or Donna Pittman at [phone]
ext. 203 to arrange a convenient time.
The Division received a permit application request for coverage under General Permit NCGO40000 for this
facility on February 19, 1998. We will hold any action on this request until after we have had an
opportunity to meet and discuss the process. Please note that the package received did not include the
$400 application processing fee as indicated in the accompanying transmittal letter.
Sincerely,

This letter is in response to your April 2, 1998 letter concerning the acceptance of your general
permit application. As we discussed in our meeting on March 25, 1998 the Department will not issue new
permit coverage for a wood chip mill under the 1992 general permit for Timber Products (NCG040000).
This general permit expired in August of 1997. Those chip mills that currently have coverage under this
permit will continue to be covered. Other chip mills seeking coverage under a NPDES stormwater permit
will have to apply for coverage under an individual NPDES stormwater permit. Once the Department's
study on the wood chip mill industry is completed we will review the permitting procedures for wood chip
mills to determine the most appropriate types of permit coverage.
In the interim, facilities such as Upchurch, Inc. in Williamston, N.C. must apply for permit
coverage under our individual permitting procedures. We have attached copies of the two forms that you
will need to complete and return to our offices to begin the individual permit process (EPA Forms 1 and
2F). We are also returning your previous application package (received 2/19/98) requesting coverage
under the general permit and the $400.00 application fee (received 4/8/98). When you return your
individual permit application information, please include the location map for the facility and the
processing fee. At our previous meeting we also discussed additional information that you should submit
with your application to assist our review. This included information on sources of trees for your wood
chip production, production rates at your facility during the time you previously operated and any
modifications to the production rates or facility that are proposed.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Bradley Bennett in our
Stormwater and General Permits Unit at [phone] ext. 525.
