RE: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Universal Forest Products Eastern Division, Inc., Sanford, NC
Permit No.:NCG210151
Dear Mr. Nisely:
This letter is written as a response to your letter dated March 15, 2006 describing items of
non-compliance noted during your February 23, 2006 stormwater compliance evaluation
inspection at the facility referenced above.
The text of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan has been updated to ensure that it is
consistent with the requirements outlined in the stormwater permit. Some items such as
spill response and training records are kept with other compliance documentation in order
to eliminate duplication in recordkeeping.
I hope that it was apparent during your inspection that Universal Forest Products makes
every effort to comply with its stormwater permit and identify opportunities to prevent
pollution. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me at 616/365-1569

Stormwater Permit NCG210151
Lee County
Dear Mr. Seufert:
On 2/23/2006 Myrl Nisely of the Raleigh Regional Office and Mike Lawyer of the Fayetteville Regional
Office of the Division of Water Quality carried out a stormwater compliance inspection. The help of Mark
Campbell was greatly appreciated.
The plant is compliant with the semi-annual observations of the stormwater management practices for the
plant, although the program is not technically following the requirements of the NC permit as closely as we
normally require. More on this follows below. The activities carried out at the plant appear to be almost
entirely indoors, with storage of finished products stored outside only for short periods until loaded onto
trucks and taken from the site. There are no truck maintenance activities at the plant.
The stormwater manual provided by Mr. Campbell held the required USGS and site maps, along with
documentation of semiannual observations recorded on forms provided by the Grand Rapids office. These
forms were adequate for the purpose, and were well organized by year for several years back.
Part II(A) of permit NCG210151 specifies several additional details to be included in the Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan 3-ring binder. These include 1) a narrative description of practices at the plant,
2) a list of significant spills in the last three years, or documentation that none have occurred, 3)
certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of any process water 4) a
narrative stating that an evaluation has been made of the feasibility of changing practices at the plant for
better environmental protection, 5) a page addressing secondary containment for any fuels or chemicals 6)
a summary of Best Management Practices (BMPs) for stormwater protection, 6) a plan for spill response,
7) a plan for preventive maintenance and housekeeping, 8)employee annual stormwater training records
(this was the most important omission), 9) a list of responsible parties chain of command. Each of these
topics has a paragraph describing in detail what to include in the write-up. A note is needed each year
showing that the manual has been updated annually.
