Dear Mr. Williams:
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. Please review the draft
very carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains.
The draft permit contains the following significant changes from this facility's current permit:
Analytical monitoring changes:
1.. Chromium and Arsenic have been removed from the analytical monitoring requirements.
2. COD, BODs, and pH have been added to the analytical monitoring requirements.
3. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as
defined in Part II Section B. You must also document the total precipitation for each event. If no
discharge occurs during the sampling period, you must submit a monitoring report indicating
"No Flow" within 30 days of the end of the six-month sampling period. Additionally, samples
must be taken a minimum of 60 days apart, as specified in Table 2.
4. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring have been added to this draft permit. Exceedances of
benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions,
increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered
program. If the sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark
range, for any parameter at any outfall then the facility shall follow the Tier 1 guidelines which
require a facility inspection within two weeks and implementation of a mitigation plan within
two months. If during the term of this permit, the sampling results are above the benchmark
values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific discharge
outfall two times in a row (consecutive), then the facility shall follow the Tier 2 guidelines which
require a repetition of the steps listed for Tier 1 and also immediately institute monthly
monitoring for all parameters at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark
value for two consecutive samples.
5. You are required to collect all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during
representative storm events as defined in Part II Section B. Qualitative monitoring is required
regardless of representative outfall status.
6. You are responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote 1 of .
Tables 1, 4, and 5.
7. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall
parameter is in this permit, however.)
8. Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with
analytical and qualitative monitoring.
Other proposed changes:

1. Additional guidance is provided about the Site Plan requirements. The site map must now
identify if the receiving stream is impaired and if it has a TMDL established. It must also
describe potential pollutants in each outfall. The map requirements are stated more explicitly.
And, the site plan must contain a list of significant spills that have occurred in the past three
years and also must certify that the outfalls have been inspected to ensure that they do not
contain non-stormwater discharges. Additional information is provided in Part II Section A.
2. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Management Plan have been specified in Part II
Section A. More details regarding secondary containment are provided.
3. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been specified in
Part II Section A. The plan must also be updated annually to include a list of significant spills
and to certify that the outfalls do not contain non-stormwater discharges.
4. The facility must now implement a semi-annual Facility Inspection Program of the site's
stormwater management controls as specified in Part II Section A.
5. Information regarding the No Exposure Exclusion has been added to this draft permit. If
industrial materials and activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described in 40
CFR §122.26(g), the facility may qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES stormwater
discharge permit requirements. Additional information is provided in Part I Section A.
Please submit any comments to me no later than thirty (30) days following your receipt of the draft. .
Comments should be sent to the address listed at the bottom of this page. If no adverse comments are
received from the public or from you, this permit will likely be issued in about two months.
If you have any questions or comments concerning this draft permit, contact me at [phone] x 360 or

manufacturing or fueling operations.An areas where elimination of exposure is
not practical, the stormwatermanagement plan shall document the feasibility of
diverting the stormwater runoff away from areas of potential contamination.
b. Secondary Containment;Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is
required for: bulk storage of liquid materials; storage in any amount of Section
313 of Title III of the,Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA)
.water priority chemicals; and storage in any amount of hazardous substances to
prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. A table or
summary of all such tanks and stored materials and their associated secondary
containment areas shall be maintained. If the secondary containment devices are
connected directly to stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be
controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices which shall be
secured closed with a locking mechanism, and any stormwater that accumulates in
the containment area shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam,
outfall staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the
accumulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to
be uncontaminated by the material stored within the containment area. Records
documenting the individual making the observation, the description of the
accumulated stormwater and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a
period of five (5) years.
C. BMP Summary. A narrative description shall be provided of Best Management
Practices (BMPs) to be considered such as, but not limited to, oil and grease

significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected
through monitoring of stormwater discharges.
Spill Prevention and Response Plan. The Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP)
shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials
inventory of the facility. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the
SPRP shall be identified. A responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility
operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or
exposure of materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP must be site
stormwater specific. Therefore, an oil SPCC plan may be a component of the SPRP, but
may not be sufficient to completely address the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The
common elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may be incorporated by reference into the
SPRP.

SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1. All
analytical monitoring shall be performed during a representative storm event. The required
monitoring will result in a minimum of ten analytical samplings being conducted over the term of
the permit at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO).
A representative storm event is a storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall
and that is preceded by at least 72 hours in which no storm event measuring greater than 0.1
inches has occurred. A single storm event may contain up to 10 consecutive hours of no
precipitation. For example, if it rains for 2 hours without producing any collectable discharge,
and then stops, a sample may be collected if a rain producing a discharge begins again within the
next 10 hours. r

The maximum 24 hour precipitation event expected to be equaled or exceeded on the average once in ten
years. Design storm information can be found in the State of North Carolina Erosion and Sediment Control
Planning and Design Manual.
Part VI Page 4 of 5 Pages

Permit No. NCS000122
31. Total Plow
The flow corresponding to the time period over which the entire storm event occurs. Total flow shall bt
either, (a) measured continuously, (b) calculated based on the amount of area draining to the outfall, the
amount of built -upon (impervious) area, and the total amount of rainfall, or (c) estimated by the
measurement of flow at 20 minute intervals during the rainfall event.
32. Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL)
A TMDL is a calculation of the maximum amount of a pollutant that a waterbody can receive and still meet
water quality standards, and an allocation of that amount to the pollutant's sources. A TMDL is a detailed
water quality assessment that provides the scientific foundation for an implementation plan. The
implementation plan outlines the steps necessary to reduce pollutant loads in a certain body of water to
restore and maintain water quality standards in all seasons. The Glean Water Act, section 303, establishes
the water quality standards and TMDL programs. /j n
33. Toxic Pollutant
Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1),of the Clean Water Act.
34. upset
Means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary noncompliance with
technology based permit effluent'limitations because of factors beyond the reasonable control of the

Central Office Review Summary:
1. Owner's Other Permits: None
2. General Observations: Use CCA and creosote wood treatment. Some chipping/milling operations to form posts.
Treated wood is temporarily sheltered after exiting treatment area.
3. Impairment: Not impaired. Basinwide Plan shows that it is not rated for aquatic life and that a potential stressor
is habitat degradation.
4. Threatened and Endangered: None in Georges Creek, but approximately 1 mile downstream where Georges
Creek joins the Deep River the Cape Fear Shiner is listed as Federally Endangered.
5. Location: 625 Farmville Mine Road
6. Industrial Changes Since Previous Permit: In the process of phasing out treatment with CCA for C2.
7. Analytical Monitoring Notes: Above benchmark for Copper on both sample dates; and above benchmark from
first permit term monitoring. Above benchmark for TSS for one outfall on one sample date. Had not collected
sample for final year of permit term when the renewal request was submitted.
8. Qualitative Monitoring Notes: Water seemed to always be murky, with a brown color, and sometimes an oil
sheen at 001. Water was clear to murky and brown/orange color at 003.

Revised Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring:
1. With the phasing out of CCA treatment, and the sampling results, Arsenic and Chromium will be removed.
2. pH has been added to the analytical monitoring requirements.
3. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as defined in Part II
Section B. The permittee must also document the total precipitation for each event. If no discharge occurs
during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating "No Flow" within 30 days
of the end of the six-month sampling period. Additionally, samples must be taken a minimum of 60 days apart,
as specified in Table 2.
4. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring have been added to this draft permit. Exceedances of benchmark values
require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or
install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. If the sampling results are above a
benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at any outfall then the facility shall
follow the Tier 1 guidelines which require a facility inspection within two weeks and implementation of a
mitigation plan within two months. If during the term of this permit, the sampling results are above the -
benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall
two times in a row (consecutive), then the facility shall follow the Tier 2 guidelines which require a repetition of
the steps listed for Tier 1 and also immediately institute monthly monitoring for all parameters at every outfall
where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples.
5. The permittee is required to collect all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during representative
storm events as defined in Part II Section B. Qualitative monitoring is required regardless of representative
outfall status.
6. The permittee is responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote I of Tables 1, 4,
and 5.
7. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall parameter is in
this permit, however.)
8. Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with analytical and
qualitative monitoring.
Other Proposed Changes to the Previous Permit:
1. Additional guidance is provided about the Site Plan requirements. The site map must now identify if the
receiving stream is impaired and if it has a TMDL established. It must also describe potential pollutants in each
outfall. The map requirements are stated more explicitly. And, the site plan must contain a list of significant
spills that have occurred in the past three years and also must certify that the outfalls have been inspected to
ensure that they do not contain non-stormwater discharges. Additional information is provided in Part II Section
A.
2. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Management Plan have been specified in Part 11 Section A. More
details regarding secondary containment are provided.
3. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been specified in Part II Section A.
The plan must also be updated annually to include a list of significant spills and to certify that the outfalls do not
contain non-stormwater discharges.
4. The facility must now implement a semi-annual Facility Inspection Program of the site's stormwater
management controls as specified in Part II Section A.
1. Information regarding the No Exposure Exclusion has been added to this draft permit. If industrial materials and
activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described in 40 CFR § 122.26(g), the facility may qualify
for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES stormwater discharge permit requirements. Additional information
is provided in Part I Section A.

I have reviewed the draft permit and wanted to comment. I would like to request that
BOD and COD analytical monitoring be added to this permit. We often find that there
are high levels of these pollutants in surface water along the property of timber facilities.
The other parts of the draft permit seem sufficient.

the requirements found in Part 111, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3.
2. Stormwater Management Plan. The stormwater management plan shall contain a
narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or
minimize the exposure of significant materials to stormwater, including structural and
nonstructural measures. The stormwater management plan, at a minimum, shall
incorporate the following:
a. Feasibility Study. A review of the tecluiical'and economic feasibility of changing
the methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure
of materials and processes to stor ater:`Wherever practical, the permittee shall
prevent exposure of all storage areas, material handling operations, and
manufacturing or fueling operattons.An areas where elimination of exposure is
not practical, the stormwatermanagement plan shall document the feasibility of
diverting the storrwater runoff away from areas of potential contamination.
b. Secondary ContainmegRequirements and Records. Secondary containment is
required for: bulk storage of liquid materials; storage in any amount of Section
313 of Title III of.the�Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA)
water priority`chemicals; and storage in any amount of hazardous substances to
prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. A table or
summary of all such tanks and stored materials and their associated secondary
containment areas shall be maintained. If the secondary containment devices are
connected directly to stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be
controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices which shall be
secured closed with a locking mechanism, and any stormwater that accumulates in
the containment area shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam,
outfall staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the
accumulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to
be uncontaminated by the material stored within the containment area. Records
documenting the individual making the observation, the description of the
accumulated stormwater and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a
period of five (5) years.
C. BMP Summary. A narrative description shall be provided of Best Management
Practices (BMPs) to be considered such as, but not limited to, oil and grease
separation, debris control, vegetative filter strips, infiltration and stormwater
detention or retention, where necessary. The need for structural BMPs shall be
based on the assessment of the potential of pollutant sources to contribute

significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected
through monitoring of stormwater discharges.
Spill Prevention and Response Plan. The Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP)
shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials
inventory of the facility. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the
SPRP shall be identified. A responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility
operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or
exposure of materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP must be site
stormwater specific. Therefore, an oil SPCC plan may be a component of the SPRP, but
may not be sufficient to completely address the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The
common elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may be incorporated by reference into the
SPRP. A //

SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1. All
analytical monitoring shall be performed during a representative storm event. The required
monitoring will result in a minimum of ten analytical samplings being conducted over the term of
the permit at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO).
A representative storm event is a storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall
and that is preceded by at least 72 hours in which no storm event measuring greater than 0.1
inches has occurred. A single storm event may contain up to 10 consecutive hours of no
precipitation. For example, if it rains for 2 hours without producing any collectable discharge,
and then stops, a sample may be collected if a rain producing a discharge begins again within the
next 10 hours. P, f /

Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under NPDES Permit NCS000122. This permit expires
on November 30, 2004. North Carolina Administrative Code (15A NCAC 2H.0105(e)) requires that an
application for permit renewal be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current permit. In order to assure
your continued coverage under your permit, you must apply to the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) for renewal
of your permit. To make this renewal process easier, we are informing you in advance that your permit will be
expiring. Enclosed you will find an individual permit renewal application form, supplemental information request,
and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan certification.
Filing the application form along with the requested supplimental information will constitute your application for
renewal of your permit. As stated above, the application form must be completed and returned along with all
requested information by June 3, 2004 in order for the permit to be renewed by November 30. 2004.
Failure to request renewal by June 3, 2004 may result in a civil assessment of at least $500.00. Larger penalties
may be assessed depending on the delinquency of the request. Discharge of stormwater from your facility without
coverage under a valid stormwater NPDES permit would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and could
result in assessments of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day.
If you have any questions regarding the permit renewal procedures please contact Bill Mills of the Stormwater and
General Permits Unit at [phone], ext. 548.
