' Monthly sampling (instead of semi-annual) must begin with the second consecutive benchmark exceedance for the same parameter at the same outfall.
2 For sampling periods with no discharge at any single outfall, you must still submit this discharge monitoring report with a checkmark here.
3The total precipitation must be recorded using data from an on -site rain gauge. Unattended sites may be eligible for a waiver of the rain gauge requirement.
4 See General Permit text, Table 3, identifying the especially sensitive receiving water classifications where the more protective benchmark applies.
Note: Results must be reported in numerical format. for exam le do not report Below Detection Limit, BDL, <PQL, Non -detect, ND, or other similar non -
numerical format. When results are below the applicable limits, they must be reported in the format, "<XX mg&', where XX is the numerical value of the
detection limit, reporting limit, etc. in mg/L.
Note. If you report a sample value in excess of the benchmark, you must implement Tier 1, Tier 2, or Tier 3 responses. See General Permit text.

RE: Stormwater Discharge Outfall Monitoring Report
Columbia Forest Products, Old Fort, North Carolina
COC No.: NCG210136
To Whom It May Concern:
Please find attached the Stormwater Discharge Outfall Monitoring Reports for Columbia Forest
Products located in Old Fort, North Carolina (Columbia Carolina). Columbia Carolina operates
under Certificate of Coverage Number NCG210136. Stormwater samples were collected on
6/22/2021 from Outfalls 41, #2, #3, and #5. All lab results were below benchmarks values. This
serves as the semiannual sampling for the facility and the Tier 2 monthly sampling for Outfalls #2
and #5. Outfall #2 has now achieved three consecutive results below benchmarks and therefore, Tier
11 monthly sampling at Outfall #2 is complete. Outfall #5 remains in Tier Two and will continue to
be sampled monthly until three consecutive lab results below benchmark. This sampling event is the
first consecutive lab result below benchmarks for Outfall #5. Due to a miscommunication with the
lab and labels, Outfall #8 was not sampled. Sampling was attempted after finding out about the
miscommunication however a significant rain event did not occur after the original sampling event.
Outfall #8 will be sampled at the earliest possible date for the first semiannual sampling event in
2021.
