Pfizer PIGS — Wyeth, LLC Sanford Plant
Lee County
The Division received your letter dated September 16, 2015, following up on our site visit and discussion
with you at Wyeth, LLC's Sanford Plant on July 22, 2015. The purpose of that visit was to discuss the
plant's need to temporarily store wood chips for the Biomass Boiler outside when quantities exceed the
Storage Silo capacity,
g p ty, and the implications for the plant's current No Exposure Certification. We
understand the company is moving forward with a capital engineering project to construct a permanent
storage building to eliminate stormwater exposure of the excess chips when needed.
For the interim period, the company is seeking concurrence from DEMLR on maintaining No Exposure
status for this plant site while implementing good housekeeping and other best management measures to
minimize exposure and,mnoff from chips stored outside until permanent shelter construction is
completed. The shelterlwould bring the site back into compliance with its No Exposure Certification.
DEMLR Staff agree that this storage situation constitutes exposure and does not satisfy No Exposure
Certification conditions, which triggers the requirement for an NPDES stormwater discharge permit.
However, if Wyeth, Lb"- elects to maintain the NCGNE during this period and works towards regaining
full compliance with No Exposure conditions, DEMLR will consider favorably its progress toward
achieving compliance as long as the company:
• Confirms to us (continuing progress toward completing the capital project, and the current
completion date for the shelter is no later than December 2016; and
• Begins sampling discharges draining from the temporary chip storage area on a quarterly basis
in accordance with the analytical monitoring suite in General Permit NCG210000 (Lumber and
Wood Products) i.e., Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Total Suspended Solids (TSS)).

Please use the Data Monitoring Report (DMR) forms available on our website for the NCG210000
General Permit to record results. Instead of the address on the form (DWQ Central Files), we ask that
you submit the results of the analytical monitoring within 30 days of receipt from the laboratory directly
to the following address:
Attention: DEMLR Stormwater Permitting Program — Central Office
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1617
Four copies of this form are enclosed. While this DMR form is set up for semi-annual or monthly
reporting, please use the form for quarterly monitoring results and include revision notes as needed. The
form also includes benchmark values for COD and TSS that pertain to specific Tier Response actions in
the General Permit and do not apply in this case; however, personnel reviewing the data should still use
these benchmark levels as a guide for investigating problems or revising shelter construction schedule. If
monitoring demonstrates that these conditions are causing or contributing to water quality standard
impacts, the Division may pursue more immediate action.
We appreciate your efforts to discuss your situation with our agency and actively work towards a
solution. We have reviewed the Job -Aid submitted with your letter and find the document helpful for
meeting your goal. DEMLR did note that the Job -Aid document could do more to help the employee
understand why these actions are important — i.e., adding documentation or training that informs the
employee that the purpose of these actions are to prevent stormwater pollution. If you have any questions
or concerns regarding this correspondence, please contact me at [phone] or at
bethany.QeorgouliasAncdenneov.

Dear Mr. Kaylos:
The Division has reviewed your submittal of the No -Exposure Certification for Exclusion from NPDES
Stormwater Permitting form, which we received on May 3, 2005. Based on your submittal and signed
certification of no exposure at the above referenced facility, the Division is granting your certification as
provided for under 40 CFR 126.22(g), which is incorporated by reference in North Carolina regulations.
Please note that by our acceptance of your no exposure certification, you are obligated to maintain no
exposure conditions at your facility. If conditions change such that your facility can no longer qualify for a no -
exposure exclusion, you are obligated to immediately obtain NPDES permit coverage for your stormwater
discharge. Otherwise, the discharge becomes subject to enforcement as an un-permitted discharge. Your
conditional no -exposure exclusion expires in five years (July 31, 2010). At that time you must re -certify with
the Division, or obtain'
NPDES permit coverage for any stormwater discharges from your facility.
Your certification of no exposure does not affect your facility's legal requirements to obtain environmental
permits that may be required under other federal, state, or local regulations or ordinances.
If you have any questions or need further information, please contact Sarah Young at [phone], ext.
502, or at [e-mail].
