Dear Mr. Rizzuto:
John E. Skvarla, III
Secretary
On July 31, 2014, Dave Parnell of the Raleigh Regional Office of NC DENR, performed a
compliance evaluation inspection (CEI) at the Oldeastle mulch production facility. Your
assistance, as well as the assistance of, Shawn Wilkerson, Roberto Garcia, was appreciated.
This inspection was conducted to determine the facility's compliance with its NPDES general
stormwater permit. Observations during the inspection are as follows:
1. The Stormwater Prevention Pollution Plan (SPPP) was available and reviewed during
the inspection. The plan contained all components required by the permit.
Analytical and Qualitative monitoring is required semi-annually by the permit.
Analytical Monitoring is not required for vehicle maintenance being conducted at your
facility. Following the SPPP review, a complete review of your monitoring results was
conducted. Due to exceedences of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Total
Suspended Solids (TSS), your facility is currently operating under Tier 3 of your
stormwater analytical monitoring requirements. During the review, there was some
indecision pertaining to the number of stormwater outfalls. Following your inspection,
a call referencing your consultant (Falcon), clarified that there are, in fact, two outfalls
that must be monitored — SDO #1 and SDO#2.

Dear Mr. Griffiths:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
On May 18, 2011, Dave Parnell of the Raleigh Regional Office carried out a stormwater compliance
evaluation inspection (CEI) for the above permit. Mr. Matt Rizzuto - Plant Manager and Mr. Ted
Carter, were available to assist Mr. Parnell. A file review indicates that this was the first time DWQ had
inspected this facility. See the enclosed inspection checklist. A number of issues emerged and are
discussed below:
1. This permit was issued September 15, 2008 and it expires July 31, 2013. The current permit
was not available during the CEI.
Mr. Carter had possession of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) for this facility,
during the inspection. The SPPP has not been reviewed and updated since 2009. Mr. Withrow
knew the location of the Stormwater Discharge Oulfalls (SDO) and we agreed that he could
document the location of the SDO on the site plan at that time. Mr. Carter could not produce
any of the required analytical monitoring results for this permit cycle. Qualitative monitoring
results were produced, but showed "no flow" for many of the observations. We discussed that
an effort must be made to find a qualifying representative storm during the specified period
which would produce a flow that could be observed. The current NCG210000 Stormwater
Permit requires analytical monitoring to be conducted at each (all) designated SDO, in the
lrequency directed by tables within your permit.
