Special Issues Explanation:
• Request was made to remove drainage area — Ash Reclaim Pile. During the last summer (2008), the
ash reclaim pile (AR01) was removed. The area is not currently being used for any activity. The permittee
has requested this area to be removed from the permit.
• Request to include additional drainage areas. The north side of the wood yard should be included as a
drainage area. The stormwater runoff would come offofthe emergency hog fuel pile, an adjacent
equipment laydown area, and a river water pumping station with diesel tanks inside containment. It would
all drain as sheet Flow to the adjacent wetlands, Warren Neck Creek, and the Roanoke River. The other
drainage area is.the southern east end of the contractor laydown area parking lot should also be included as a
Page 1 of 11

drainage area. The flow would drain, as sheet flow, into a roadside, earthen ditch that goes offsite to adjacent
wetlands.
Description of Onsite Activities:

• NPDES Permit NC0000680 Industrial Process & Commercial Wastewater
• NCG040102 Inactive, Timber Product Stormwater Discharge
• NCG126022Inactive, Landfill Stormwater Discharge — Rescinded 06/06/2002
• NCG210102 Inactive, Timber Products Stormwater Discharge - Rescinded 11/08/2002
2. General Observations: The W WTS treats discharges from two other onsite, non -Weyerhaeuser, and non-Donllar
owned facilities. The alum manufacturing currently owned and operated by GEO Specialty Chemicals and the
precipitated calcium carbonate manufacturing facility current owned and operated by Specialty Minerals. There
operations and their discharges are clarified in the August 2, 2005 Renewal Request.
3. Impairment: The Roanoke River (23-(53)) and Welch Creek are on the 2006 303(d) list for a Fish Advisory for
Dioxin and Mercury. The Basinwide Plan identifies the sources of dioxin for the Roanoke River and WAli
creek are W WTP NPDES. Basinwide Plan recommendations were that DWQ, in cooperation with
Weyerhaeuser Company, will continue to monitor the lower Roanoke River and Welch Creek and will work
closely with the DFIHS to lift the advisory when there is no longer a risk to human health from consumption of
fish. The EPA approved a dioxin TMDL in 1996. Discussions between multiple state and federal agencies
regarding alternative dioxin clean up options have ensued'. Such alternatives look at site remediation and testing,
removal and capping of the dioxin contaminant in Welch Creek.
From 200113asinwide Plan: Fish tissue samples were collected by DWQ from two sites on the Roanoke River in
1995 and 1999. Eight bowfin from the river near Williamston had mercury concentrations greater than FDA
consumption criteria in 1995. In 1999, 15 of 24 samples (63 percent) of bowfin, largemouth bass and white
catfish had mercury concentrations greater than EPA and I-DA criteria (0.6 and 1.0 µg/g, respectively). Mercury
concentrations were somewhat lower near Plymouth: four of seven (57 percent) bowfin collected in 1995 had
high mercury concentrations. In 1999, four (three largemouth bass and one chain pickerel) out of 22 samples (18
percent) had concentrations which exceeded consumption criteria. The Roanoke River and Welch Creek are
impaired because of fish consmnptiod advisories and are discussed in following sections.
1996Recomrnendations: The 1996 basin plan listed Welch Creek and the Roanoke River from Williamston
down to and including the Albemarle Sound as partially supporting due to a fish consumption advisory for
dioxin. Weyerhaeuser Company operates a facility at the mouth of Welch Creek and originally it discharged
directly to the stream. In the 1980s, it was recognized that dioxin, a carcinogenic byproduct of the chlorine
bleaching process, was accumulating in fish tissue. In 1988, improvements were made and the discharge was
relocated to the Roanoke River. Weyerhaeuser is required by DWQ to provide extensive monitoring in the
Roanoke River. The recommendation was to review this data to monitor the decline of dioxin in fish tissue.
The Roanoke River, from the Roanoke Rapids dam to the Albemarle Sound, is impaired because of a statewide
fish consumption advisory due to high levels of mercury in bowfin (blackfish). Bowfin with levels of mercury
that exceed consumption criteria were collected by DWQ in the Roanoke River near Williamston and Plymouth
in 1995 and 1999. Because of these advisories, this portion of the river is only partially supporting the fish
consumption use support category. DWQ will continue to monitor fish tissue in the Roanoke River and will
work to identify sources of mercury. Given the global scale of mercury cycling, it may be difficult for DWQ to
recognize significant reductions of mercury in fish over the short-term.
These waters remain impaired (Welch Creek — not supporting; Roanoke River and Albemarle Sound — partially
supporting) because of fish consumption advisories for dioxin. No fish should be consumed from Welch Creek.
Data collected by Weyerhaeuser Company indicate a decline in dioxin concentrations. Shellfish are not covered
by this advisory.
4. Threatened and Endangered: There was one species that was federally protected within a two mile radius of the
site: Canis rr fus (Red Wolt). The canis rufus is not an aquatic species.

6. Industrial Changes Since Previous Permit: In February, 2006, Weyerhaeuser permanently shutdown two
processes at the Plymouth facility: the NCI Linerboard Paper Machine and the Recycled Fiber Operation. In
2005, Weyerhaeuser modernized the existing Woodyard operation area. These three projects have resulted in
significant work force reduction. These process modifications impact process and storm water discharges to the
onsite wastewater treatment system since they involve operating areas that are contained in the sewer and
drainage systems discharging to the wastewater treatment system.
Former outfall 006 no longer exists. Rainwater is now routed to W WTS. Only sheet flow from the parking lot
runoff now discharges from the east side of the facility into the Roanoke River via drains in the adjacent
bulkhead.
Weyerhaeuser has relandscaped and reconfigured the stormwater drainage pattern of the West Contractor
Laydown area. This area is mainly vegetated now and contains few industrial activities. Most stormwater from
the area discharges from the area into the adjacent swamps as sheet flow. Two point discharge outfalls remain,
CL1 I and new CL13. All of the former outfalls (CLl-CL12), except for CLl I have been eliminated. The area is
completely vegetated and its perimeter lined with either silt fences or hay bales.
A temporary outfall, LF04, now exists on the south, east corner of cell 42 of the No. 3 landfill. They will
eliminate the outfall as addition landfill cells are constructed. However, it is likely to exist throughout the period
of the renewed permit. Whether samples should be taken at LF04 will depend on if LFOI is representative or
not. Currently LFOI represents the entire landfill area. This will be evaluated at the site visit.
The Weyerhaeuser pulp and paper manufacturing facility in Plymouth, NC became part of Domtar Paper
Company, LLC on March 7, 2007. Weyerhaeuser's lumber facility located within the contiguous property
boundary of the pulp and paper industrial complex in Plymouth will remain under the ownership and name of
Weyerhaeuser Company..
Analytical Monitoring Notes: There are seven outfalls that require monitoring in the permit: CL02, CL11, LFOI,
AROI, 006, CPOI and FY01. The industrial rainwater for outfall 006 was diverted to the onsite wastewater
treatment system. Therefore, 006 was not sampled. Complete RCRA metals, VOC and SVOC analyses were
attached. There were four samples taken ateach outfall.
Representative outfall was given for the Contractor Laydown Area (CL02 and CLl 1), Landfill and Ash Recycle
Area (LFOI and AROI), and Plant Area (006, CP01 and FY01). Specific outfalls to monitor will be included in
the final permit.
EPA draft 2008 Sector -Specific permit, Sector B "Paper and Allied Products" recommends monitoring for COD.
However, SIC 2611 is.not included. Industry 2611 is primarily shipping pulp.
Metals detected at each outfall were: CL02 —As, Ba, TCR, Pb; CL1 I - Ba TCr, Pb; LFOI — none; AROI —As,
Ba, Cd, TCr, Pb; CP01 —As, Ba, Cd, TCr, Pb; FY01 —none. None of the levels were close to any current
benchmarks.
Recommended sampling:
CLl 1- BOD, COD, TSS
CLI3- BOD, COD, TSS
LFOI- BOD, COD, TSS
AR01- BOD, COD, TSS
CPOI- BOD, COD, TSS
FY01- BOD, COD, TSS
CL02 will be removed with from the analytical monitoring because it no longer exists. CLI I and LF04 have
been added.

Dioxin was added as monitoring parameter because of the TMDL for Dioxin.
8. Qualitative Monitoring Notes: Some visual monitoring was given for on a semiannual basis. As for visual
inspections, each time only "Monitored parameters noted as present or not. present. No significant issues noted."
The control measure onsite were also inspected semiannually. 3/31/03 and 11/20/03 noted the ash pile needed
improvement to maintain ash inside of earthen berm. 6/22/04 noted there was a new outfall in the No. 3 landfill.
Some trash was noted in the west contractor laydown area 6/14/05 and 11/11/05 noted that regarding and

Revised Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring:
I. Maintaining the monitoring parameters COD, BOD, and TSS at all outfalls. Add Dioxin as a monitoring
parameter. TPH, VOCs, SVOCs, RCRA Metals, and TOC have been removed. (Specific rationale back in
previous text)
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 11
Section B. The permiltee must also document the total precipitation for each event. If no discharge occurs
during the sampling period, the pennittee 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 permiltee 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. Ifduring the term ofthis 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 permiltee is required to collect all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during representative
storm events as defined in Part 11 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 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 to the Previous Permit:
1.. Additional guidance is provided about the Site Plan requirements. The site map most 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 ll Section
A.
2. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Management Plan have been specified in Part Il 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 11 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 1 Section A.

5. Do you have vehicle maintenance onsite? Yes, but all the area is inside and water goes to the MY
From Waste Water Permit File:
Weyerhaeuser Plymouth Dioxin Permit History (copy attached). The history gives a timeline of dioxin at the mill.
The history states the facility changed its manufacturing process in the early nineties as part of a $500 million
modernization project (including an oxygen delignification system and eliminating the use of elemental chlorine).
This significantly reduced the discharge of dioxin. It has basically been in compliance with its dioxin limit since it
became effective in the permit.

Outfall 006- analyzed for 2,3,7,8 TCDD and 12 chlorinated phenol compounds
Dioxins (http://www.epi.state.nc.us/epi/fish/contaminants.litml)
There are a number of dioxin compounds. Dioxins are not intentionally manufactured by industry. They are the
byproduct of other industrial processes. The most heavily studied compound - 2,3,7,8-TCDD - is formed during
the chlorine bleaching process at pulp and paper mills. All of North Carolina's dioxin -related fish consumption
advisories are related to paper mills. All of the paper mills have made substantial changes to their processes to
reduce or prevent dioxin formation. That's why several of the advisories have been modified since they were
originally issued.
Studies have shown that exposure to 2,3,7,8-TCDD increases the risk of several types of cancer in animals.
Some studies suggest that dioxin increases the risk of certain types of cancer in humans. Other studies don't
show any connection between dioxin exposure and cancer. The most common health effect in humans is
chloracne. Chloracne is a severe skin disease, characterized by large, deep acne -like lesions.

CO Questions for RO Stafj
Should the Ash Reclaim Pile (AR01) be removed from the permit? Are there any industrial activities there and has the
area been properly cleaned?
For the landfill and ash recycle area, the permit shows representative outfall status for outfalls LF01 and AR01. For the
plant area,.representative outfall status was granted for outfalls 006, CPO] and FY01. Should this still be the case?
The permittee indicates that foimer outfall 006 no longer exists. Rainwater is now rotted to WWT,S. Only sheet flow
from the parking lot runoff now discharges from the east side of the facility into the Roanoke River via drains in the
adjacent bulkhead. Is this true, there really is not an outfall in this area?
There is an Outfall at the NofolkSouthern Rail Yard: RY01. Application indicates there is mainlysheetflow but there
is a grassed lined Swale. The permittee says it is not feasible to monitor. Should this outfall by sampled? .
Does all of the coal pile runoffgo to the Wastewater treatment plant?
Sample locations: CLI1, CL13, LF01, AR01, CPO] and FY01. These are the sample locations if the current
representative outfalls are fine. Are there any other outfalls that need to be sampled? Specific outfalls to monitor will be
included in the final permit.

Stormwater Permit #NCS000189
Cace Rnrknrnnnrl
• July 24, 2009
DWQ issued a NPDES Stormwater Renewal permit # NCS000189 to
Domtar Paper Company, LLC located in Plymouth, Martin County,
North Carolina.
• March 9, 2010
Request for removal of Dioxin Sampling/Analyses requirement from
the NPDES permit, as well as Request for Representative Outfall
Status for two areas of the facility and removal of the requirement to
sample outfall due to sheet flow conditions.
• March 31, 2010
On March 31, 2010, Samir Dumpor of the Washington Regional
Office conducted a facility inspection, together with Diane Hardison,
Tamika Boone and Alan Barnes of Domtar Paper Company, to
determine if request for removal of Dioxin Sampling/Analysis and
representative Outfall Status can be granted.
• August 11, 2010
The additional sampling for two complete monitoring periods
submitted, as well as soil sampling at the areas likely to be affected b

Facility Inspection findings '
Request to Remove Dioxin Sampling/Analysis Requirements from Permit.
At the time of Request to remove Dioxin Sampling, only one analytical sampling (for first Leo
monitoring period) was performed. Dioxin analyses results for the sampled outfalls were a
detection levels, however we in the WaRO requested additional sampling (for second six-month
monitoring period) to be performed and evaluated for dioxin, as well as soil sampling at the location
1-0-1uuu
where the dioxin could potentially be introduced to site due to flooding of Welch Creek. On August 11,
2010 the WaRO received completed second sampling results as well as soil samples at 4 locations. All of

the stormwater outfalls samples came back with no dioxin detected, while one of the soil samples taken at
Winter Log Storage area came back with positive results. The positive dioxin level was extremely small
(0.704 ng/kg) and well below the method reporting limit but above the estimated detection limit
The WaRO recommends partial approval of the request for dioxin sampling removal from the NPDES
stormwater permit NCS000189. We believe that the dioxin sampling should be continued only at the
Winter Log Storage area.
Request for Representative Outfall Status for Outfall CL14.
Outfalls CLI 1, CLI 3 and CL14 are closely located to each other and service the Contractor Laydown
Area. This area of the facility does not have any raw materials or processes placed on it, hence the
biggest concern as far is analytical monitoring is TSS and pH. The drainage areas for outfalls CLI 3 and
CL14 is approximately same with the drainage area for outfall CLI 1 being slightly larger. On my
recommendation, Ms Diane R. Hardison, the Environmental Manager of the Domtar Paper Company
agreed to have outfall CLI 1 as Representative Outfall instead of CL14 as requested.
At this time the WaRO believes that granting the Representative Outfall Status for Outfall CLI I would
not diminish the quality of data for these three areas, hence we recommend approval of the
Representative Outfall Status for Outfall CLI 1.
Request for Representative Outfall Status for Outfall LF01.
Outfalls LFO1 and LF02discharge stormwater from two sedimentation ponds which collect runoff from
the closed, capped and vegetated No. 2 Landfill. Site visit confirmed that LFOI on the east side of
Landfill No. 2 regularly discharges flow during moderate to heavy rain events, while the outfall LF02
located on west side of Landfill No. 2 rarely discharges flow. Only excessive rain events of this winter
and spring caused discharge from LF02.
The WaRO concludes that granting the Representative Outfall Status to outfall LF01 would be beneficial
to both parties, DWQ and Domtar Paper Company.
• Request to remove the requirement to sample outfall WRA from the permit due to sheet flow.
Conditions was retracted by the Domtar Staff due to facility inspection. Domtar collected samples
from this outfall during rain event in March of 2010.

WEYERHAUSER PLYMOUTH
DIOXIN PERMIT HISTORY
ie mill started operation in 1937.
ie first wastewater treatment system was installed in 1968
'A issued the first permit in 1974 (discharge to Welch Creek).
)rth Carolina DEM (now DWQ) started to administer the NPDES permit in
;tober 1975.
ie EPA permit expired on June 12, 1979.
DEM (now DWQ) reissued the permit on June 29, 1981 (discharge to Welch
eek).
The 1986 permit included a continued discharge to Welsh Creek but also
approved a discharge to the Roanoke River. A December 1986 SOC required
plans for a diffuser to the Roanoke River to be completed by December 1987.
A dioxin stream standard of 0.014 pg/L became effective in NC on October 1,
1989.
9) A dioxin limit and monitoring requirements were placed in the permit in August
1989 and the discharge was relocated to the Roanoke River. The company was
given 120 days to submit a dioxin plan. The limit was 1.3 pg/L (parts per
quadrillion) with a detection limit of 10 pg/L.
10) The company filed an appeal to the 1989 permit, objecting to the dioxin limits and
monitoring. The Rules Review Commission overruled the company on April 12,
1990. The dioxin limit was to become effective on June 5, 1993.
11) The facility changed its manufacturing process in the early nineties as part of a
$500 million modernization project (including an oxygen delignifrcation system
and eliminating the use of elemental chlorine). This significantly reduced the
discharge of dioxin. It has basically been in compliance with its dioxin limit since
it became effective in the permit.
12) The last permit was issued by DWQ in 1997 with a dioxin limit of 1.3 pg/L.

Domtar Paper Company, LLCJ
Martin County
In response to your request to remove Dioxin Sampling/Analyses from the NPDES stormsvater perinit
NCS000189, the Division of Water Quality (Division) is forwarding herewith the modified NPDES permit. This
permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina Genera; Statute 143-215.1 and the'
Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection agency dated
October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended).
This modified permit includes one change from the final permit sent to you on July 24, 2009. The monitoring
for Dioxin was changed to only the outfall in the Winter Log Storage area (WLSOI). This was based on the
recommendation from the Washington Regional Office (WaRO) because of the positive detection of dioxin in a
soil sample from this area.
Based on recommendation by the WaRO representative outfall status will be approved for Outfall CL11 and
LF01. Outfall CL11 will represent all the outfalls from the Contractor Laydown Area (CLlI, CL13 and CL7 1).
Outfall LF01 will represent all of the stonnwater discharges from the two sedimentation ponds which collect
runoff from the closed, capped and vegetated No. 2 Landfill (1-1`01 and LF02). Please remember, qualitative
sampling must be done at every outfall.
If you have any questions or comments concerning this permit, contact Brian Lowther at [phone] or

PERMITTED DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
The Permittee shall develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, herein after referred to as
the Plan. This Plan shall be considered public information in accordance with Part III, Standard
Conditions, Section E, Paragraph 3 of this individual permit. The Plan shall include, at a
minimum, the following items:
Site Plan. The site plan shall provide a description of the physical facility and the
potential pollutant sources which may be expected to contribute to contamination of
stormwater discharges. The site plan shall contain the following:
(a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle map or appropriately drafted
equivalent map), showing the facility's location in relation to transportation
routes and surface waters, the name of the receiving water(s) to which the
stormwater outfall(s) discharges, or if the discharge is to a municipal separate
storm sewer system, the name of the municipality and the ultimate receiving
waters, and accurate latitude and longitude of the point(s) of discharge. The
general location map (or alternatively the site map) shall identify whether each
receiving water is impaired (on the state's 303(d) list of impaired waters) or is
located in a watershed for which a TMDL has been established, and what the
parameter(s) of concern are.
North Carolina's 303(d) List can be found here:
http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/tmd[/General_303d.htm#Downloads
North Carolina TMDL documents can be found here:
http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/tmdUTNIDL list.htm#Final TA1DLs.
(b) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities,
outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and
waste disposal practices. A narrative description of the potential pollutants which
could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall.
(c) A site map drawn to scale (including a distance legend) showing: the site property
boundary, the stormwater discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent surface
waters and wetlands, industrial activity areas (including storage of materials,
disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads), site
topography, all drainage features and structures, drainage areas for each outfall,
direction of flow in each drainage area, industrial activities occurring in each
drainage area, buildings, existing BMPs, and impervious surfaces. The site map
must indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious.
(d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred at the facility
during the three (3) previous years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate
spill impacts.
Part 11 Page 1 of 10

Pennit No. NCS000189
(e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of
non-stormwater discharges. The certification statement will be signed in
accordance with the requirements found in Part III, Standard Conditions, Section
B, Paragraph 5. The permittee shall re -certify annually that the stormwater
outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges.
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 technical and economic feasibility of changing
the methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure
of materials and processes to stormwater. Wherever practical, the permittee shall
prevent exposure of all storage areas, material handling operations, and
manufacturing or fueling operations. In areas where elimination of exposure is
not practical, the stormwater management 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, in
order 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 years.
(c) BMP Summary. 'A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management
Practices (BMP) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs
shall be based on the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute
significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected
through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a
written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the
selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually.
Part 11 Pade 2 of 10

Permit No. NCS000189
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 the team) responsible for implementing the
SPRP shall be identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and dated
by each individual acknowledging their responsibilities for the plan. 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 Spill
Prevention Control and Countermeasure plan (SPCC) 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.
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative
maintenance and good housekeeping program shall be developed. The program shall list
all stormwater control systems, stormwater discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent
surface waters and wetlands, industrial activity areas (including material storage areas,
material handling areas, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and
haul roads), all drainage features and structures, and existing structural BMPs. The
program shall establish schedules of inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping
activities of stormwater control systems, as we'll as facility equipment, facility areas, and
facility systems that present a potential for stormwater exposure or stormwater pollution.
Inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of these areas shall
be incorporated into the program. Timely compliance with the established schedules for
inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping shall be recorded in writing and maintained
in the SPPP.
5. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill response
and cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's operations
that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. Facility personnel (or team)
responsible for implementing the training shall be identified, and their annual training
shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained.
Responsible Party. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall identify a specific
position(s) responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and
revision to the Plan. Responsibilities for all components of the Plan shall be documented
and position assignments provided.
Plan Amendment. The permittee shall amend the Plan whenever there is a change in
design, construction, operation, or maintenance which has a significant effect on the
potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of the Stonmwater
Pollution Prevention Plan shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. The annual
update shall include an updated list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the
previous three years, or the notation that no spills have occurred. The annual update shall
include re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence
of non-stormwater discharges. Each annual update shall include a re-evaluation of the
Part 11 Page 3 of 10

Permit No. NCS000189
effectiveness of the BMPs listed in the BMP Summary of the Stormwater Management
Plan.
The Director may notify the permittee when the Plan does not meet one or more of the
minimum requirements of the permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee shall
submit a time schedule to the Director for modifying the Plan to meet minimum
requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with
Part 111, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 5) to the Director that the changes
have been made.
8. iFacility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur as
part of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a minimum on
a semi-annual schedule, once during the first half of the year (January to June), and once
during the second half (July to December), with at least 60 days separating inspection
dates (unless performed more frequently than semi-annually),, These facility inspections
are different from, and in addition to, the stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring
required in Part 11 B and C of this permit.
9. Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Plan. Implementation of the Plan
shall include documentation of all monitoring, measurements, inspections, maintenance
activities, and training provided to employees, including the log of the sampling data and
of actions taken to implement BMPs associated with the industrial activities, including
«. vehicle maintenance activities. Such documentation shall be kept on -site for a period of
five years and made available to the Director or the Director's authorized representative
immediately upon request.

Permit No. NCS000189
SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Analytical monitoring of stonnwater 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.

Pemit No. NCS000189
During the term of this permit, if the valid sampling results required for the permit monitoring
periods exceed the benchmark value, or are outside the benchmark range, for any specific
parameter at any specific outfall on more than four occasions, the ,permittee shall notify the DWQ
Regional Office Supervisor in writing within 30 days of receipt of the fourth analytical results.
DWQ may, but is not limited to:
• require that the permittee increase or decrease the monitoring frequency for the remainder
of the permit;
• require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls;
• require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures; or
• require that the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for the No Exposure
Exclusion.
This site discharges to impaired waters which are currently subject to a Fish Advisory for
Dioxin and Mercury. If a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is approved for this segment of
Roanoke River or Welch Creek, the permittee may be required to monitor for the pollutant(s) of
concern in the future and submit results to the Division of Water Quality. The Division will
consider the monitoring results in determining whether additional BMPs are needed to control
the pollutant(s) of concern to the maximum extent practicable.
If additional BMPs are needed to achieve the required level of control, the permittee will be
required to (1) develop a strategy for implementing appropriate BMPs, and (2) submit a timetable
for incorporation of those BMPs into the permitted Stonnwater Pollution Prevention Plan.

(Follow, Up Email to Site Visit 4/8/15 to Domtar Plymouth
Bill,
I'm writing this email in follow up to your site visit on 4/8/15 to look at stormwater outfall CL11 and offer guidance on
our next steps to achieve TSS below the benchmark.
We discussed the following options:
1. Add additional vegetative buffers on the northern ditch (15-20').
2. Install a valley ditch on the northern ditch to transport the stormwater across the gravel to the grassy area.
3. Close one or more driveways into the motor storage and GMI area and install vegetative buffers in their place.
4. Determine the flow in the ditches.
5. Add rip rap to the southern ditch to slow down the flow (target would be < 5 ft/s)
6. Sample at the following locations: just prior to the sediment catch basin, at our normal sampling location, and
50-100' past our normal sampling location.
7. Add a crescent rip rap dam just past the CL11 sampling location to diffuse the flow (ensure its all one level)
We will first implement the additional testing you recommend to gather as much data as possible before we choose our
next step. I will communicate those results with you and our next steps.
Thank you for your time.

I discussed this issue with Robert Patterson in Central Office of the Division of Water Quality, and We both agreed that it
would be OK not to collect or perform analytical monitoring on these two outfalls until the industrial.activity in the area
starts.
I will keep this correspondence in our file and I would suggest you do the same.

Subject: NBA 01 and NBA 02 Outfalls
Samir,
We have two stormwater outfalls located on the back side of our industrial landfill, NBA01 and NBA02. The NBA stands
for "New Borrow Area". The new borrow area is used during construction of new cells for our industrial landfill. One of the
outfalls is listed in the permit, the other is not. It was found during the construction of cells 3 & 4. Since discovering the
outfall, we have been collecting samples and performing analytical monitoring and reporting that information to the State.
There hasn't been any industrial activity in the area of these outfalls for over a year. There will not be any industrial activity
until the construction of the next phase of the landfill which is at least 3 years away.
We request that we not collect samples or perform analytical monitoring on these outfalls until such time that there is
industrial activity in the area.
Thanks for your consideration.

Inspection Summary:
A stormwater inspection was conducted at the Domtar Facility located at Plymouth, NC on June 20, 2013. Ms. Diane
Hardison, Environmental Manager, and Ms. Kari Cahoon, Environmental Engineer were present and are responsible for
the oversight & implementation of the SWMP. All aspects of the SWMP, including monitoring & sampling, record keeping,
and annual updates are well kept and appear to be in good order. We inspected all the designated stormwater discharge
outfalls, including the BMP's associated with each outfall. During the inspection, some of the outfalls were discussed in
more detail & are briefly noted as follows:
(1) PRPA [Power & Recovery Parking Lot]: this drainage basin is primarily an employee parking area located along the
Northern most part of the plant site & immediately adjacent to the Roanoke River. Sheet flow from the parking lot is
routed to a narrow grass buffer prior to discharge to the river. This grass buffer appears to be the only practical BMP for
this area & should be well maintained on a permanent basis.
(2) CL11 [Contractor Laydown West Area] & WYN [Woodyard North]: Both outfalls have exceeded benchmark values in
the past & have been in Tier II status. As a result, additional BMP's were implemented in each drainage area & based on
observations, along with 3 consecutive favorable sample events; these BMP's have been effective in reducing TSS in the
runoff. Domtar staff have properly followed the tiered responses in the permit & have now returned these SDO to the
normal sampling schedule.
(3) WRA [Wood Recycle Area]: This area was used to store & grind wooden pallets for use as fuel; this activity ceased in
2010. Due to past operations, this SDO was in Tier II status for TSS & COD. In late 2011, Domtar regraded & seeded
this area restoring it to a naturally vegetated area with no industrial activity. Since 2011, staff have made a diligent effort
to obtain additional samples; but, have not been able to observe an actual discharge [an indication that the only runoff
leaving this area is by sheet flow through vegeated buffers]. Based on our discussion, Kari submitted a written request by
email dated 06/25/2013 to have this SDO taken off Tier II status & returned to semi-annual sampling. I find Domtar's
assessment of the WRA outfall to be reasonable & agree that it should be taken off the Tier II status.
(4) WYN [Woodyard North]: A diversion berm & vegetated buffers are used as BMP's for this drainage area. During the
inspection, it was noted that equipment storage practices appear to be encroaching on a portion of the vegetated buffers.
The diversion berm & vegetated buffers in this area must be maintained on a permanent basis.
This permit is due to expire on 07/31/2014.

Analyses for outfalls CL-11, WYN and WRA for Donrtar Paper Company, LLC,
Plymouth, North Carolina —March 2013
Dear Sir(s):
As a reminder, WYN outfall is a tier two for TSS and COD. There was flow at WYN outfall this
month. The TSS was below the benchmark, 22 and the COD was below the benchmark, 39. This
is the third sample in a row that TSS and COD were below the benchmark values so according to
the Tier 11 guidelines WYN in no longer Tier II status.
WRA outfall is a tier two for COD and a tier one for TSS. There was no flow at WRA outfall this
month. The area was graded and seeded several months ago. There has been no flow from this
outfall since October 2011.
CL-1 I outfall is a tier two for TSS. The TSS was above the benchmark value four times in a row
in 2010. The samples in Dec, Jan, and Feb were below the benchmark for TSS so according to the
Tier Il guidelines CL11 in no longer Tier 11 status.
We will continue to perform monthly monitoring at the WRA outfall and will implement semi-
annual testing of WYN and CLI 1 beginning in August.
If you have any questions or require any additional information pertaining to this report, please

Good Morning Diane,
Got your email response. Thursday, June 20, about 9 am works for me. If you have past SP3 annual updates/reports
available electronically, you could send those by email. I would particularly be interested in any significant
changes/problems in the past 5 years. I will check with Samir to see if he can join us. If you have an on-line link to
Domtar's visitor safety training, please send that to me; otherwise, I will plan to come a few minutes early and view the
video at check -in. In case you have trouble catching up with me at the office; my cell [phone]. Let me know if
you have questions.

Thank you for the opportunity to suggest a good time for your visit. May we request June 20tn? I have assigned the
details of compliance with stormwater to Kari Cahoon, of our mill environmental team. She and I are both in Raleigh
next Wednesday for a meeting. She and I are both in Williamston in an all -day drinking water class next Thursday. Kari is
on vacation the 12tn and 13th, so we would like to suggest the 20tn, if that works for you. We look forward to your
visit. We always have some stormwater questions ready. We will have the plan, all records and other key documents
readily available for your review. We will plan to tour the site with you, making certain to get to all permitted
outfalls. What time would you like to arrive? It is possible that we may get through everything in a couple of hours, but
you might want to plan on at least 4 hours, just to be safe. Much of our SWPPP is electronic. If it is helpful to you, we can
emails much of it to you in advance, for your review. Would you like for us to do that?

Good Afternoon Diane,
I wanted to set up a site inspection at Domtar sometime in June. Here are some suggested dates: June 5, 6, 12, 13, 19,
20. We could start about 9 am. I anticipate at least 4-5 hours will be needed. Please have your permit, stormwater
plan, monitoring data & inspection reports available for discussion. I realize this is a large, complex facility with a lot of
history; I do not expect to get deep into past history unless you have some particular issue that needs to be
discussed. After our initial discussion, I would like to take a brief plant tour with our main focus on industrial areas,
stormwater outfalls and any "high potential" problem areas. I am currently trying to schedule other inspections as well,
so please give me your first & second choice dates. I am flexible with dates & time spent on -site; if we need more than
4-5 hours, I can arrange for a follow-up visit. Please email me with dates that are convenient for you and any
questions. By the way, I am not sure who the current lead environmental person is, or which staff are involved with
stormwater issues. Please let me know. Look forward to visiting with you soon.

Benchmark Value Exceedance of TSS
Ta m i ka,
After receiving your letter about four separate exceedance of TSS values at the outfall CL-11 and per our telephone
conversation of January 10, 2011, we in WaRO believe that installation of additional rock check dams to serve as
additional filtration before discharge will be sufficient measure as per permit requirements. This action can be
considered as a first step towards the TSS exceedance problem solution. The additional BMP's might be needed based
on results of the implementation of these measures. Please be advised that the monthly monitoring as specified in Tier
Two response guidelines will be required as well as maintenance of the tier two response records in SPPP. Please notify
us about all future monitoring results for this outfall.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call.

Dear Mr. Flodge:
At the Lime of this submittal, Domtar has exceeded the benchmark value for ,rSS at the
CL- I I outfall on four separate occasions. The area that drains to this outfall comes front a
gravel area that is periodically graded to keep it leveled. The controls that are already in
place at this outfall include riprap, vegetation, and a silt fence. After receiving the latest
results, we also installed rock dams to serve as additional filtration before the runoff
flows offsite.
As required by our NPDES Stormwater permit, we ate notifying you of our four
exceedances and will await further instruction.

SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Analytical monitoring of stornnvater 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.

SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of
representative outfall status and shall be performed as specified in Table 4, during the analytical
monitoring event. [If analytical monitoring is not required, the permittee still must conduct semi-
annual qualitative monitoring.] Qualitative monitoring is for the purpose of evaluating the
effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and assessing new sources of
stormwater pollution.
In the event an atypical condition is noted at a stormwater discharge outfall, the permittee shall
document the suspected cause of the condition and any actions taken in response to the
discovery. This documentation will be maintained with the Sl

Diane,
Your request to remove the dioxin testing from Tier Two response program (per permit Number NC5000189) was
discussed between Al Hodge and me here in Washington Regional Office and Bradley Bennett and Brian Lowther from
the Central Office. Due to the fact that sampling results did not show any traces of dioxin in two separate sampling
periods, we believe that COD exceedance of benchmark values for Outfall WYN will not have any effect on dioxin
resultants. By this e-mail we want to inform you that your request to remove the dioxin testing from the Tier Two
response program for Outfall WYN is approved until such time that three consecutive COD sample results are below the
benchmark values.

From: Samir Dumper, Environmental Engineer, WaRO
Re: Request to Remove Dioxin Sampling/Analysis Requirements from permit and Request for
Representative Outfall Status for Domtar Paper Company, LLC — Plymouth, North Carolina, NPDES
Stormwater Permit #NCSOOo189
Case Background
• July 24,2009
DWQ issued a NPDES Stonmwater Renewal permit # NCS000189 to
Domtar Paper Company, LLC located in Plymouth, Martin County,
North Carolina.
• March 9, 2010
Request for removal of Dioxin Sampling/Analyses requirement from
the NPDES permit, as well as Request for Representative Outfall
Status for two areas of the facility and removal of the requirement to
sample outfall due to sheet now conditions.
• March 31, 2010
On March 31, 2010, Samir llumpor of the Washington Regional
Office conducted a facility inspection, together with Diane Hardison,
Tamika Boone and Alan Barnes of Domtar Paper Company, to
determine if request for removal of Dioxin Sampling/Analysis and
representative Outfall Status can be granted.
• August 11, 2010
The additional sampling for two complete monitoring periods
submitted, as well as soil sampling at the areas likely to be affected by
dioxin as requested.
Facility Inspection findings
Request to Remove Dioxin Sampling/Analysis Requirements from Permit.
At the time of Request to remove Dioxin Sampling, only one analytical sampling (for first six-month
monitoring period) was performed. Dioxin analyses results for the sampled outfalls were all bellow
detection levels, however we in the WaRO requested additional sampling (for second six-month
monitoring period) to be performed and evaluated for dioxin, as well as soil sampling at the location
where the dioxin could potentially be introduced to site due to flooding of Welch Creek. On August 11,
2010 the WaRO received completed second sampling results as well as soil samples at 4 locations. All of

the stonnwater outfalls samples came back with no dioxin detected, while one of the soil samples taken at
Winter Log Storage area came back with positive results. The positive dioxin level was extremely small
(0.704 rig/kg) and well below the method reporting limit but above the estimated detection limit
The WaRO recommends partial approval of the request for dioxin sampling removal from the NPDES
stonnwater permit NCS000189. We believe that the dioxin sampling should be continued only at the
Winter Log Storage area.
Request for Representative Outfall Status for Outfall CL14.
Outfalls CL1 I, CL13 and CL14 are closely located to each other and service the Contractor Laydown
Area. This area of the facility does not have any raw materials or processes placed on it, hence the
biggest concern as far is analytical monitoring is TSS and pH. The drainage areas for outfalls CL13 and
CL14 is approximately same with the drainage area for outfall CL11 being slightly larger. On my
recommendation, Ms Diane R. Hardison, the Environmental Manager of the Domtar Paper Company
agreed to have outfall CLl 1 as Representative Outfall instead of CL14 as requested.
At this time the WaRO believes that granting the Representative Outfall Status for Outfall CLl 1 would
not diminish the quality of data for these three areas, hence we recommend approval of the
Representative Outfall Status for OutfalI CL 11.
Request for Representative Outfall Status for Outfall LFOL
Outfalls LFOI and LF02discharge stormwater from two sedimentation ponds which collect runoff from
the closed, capped and vegetated No. 2 Landfill. Site visit confirmed that LFO1 on the east side of
Landfill No. 2 regularly discharges flow during moderate to heavy rain events, while the outfall LF02
located on west side of Landfill No. 2 rarely discharges flow. Only excessive rain events of this winter
and spring caused discharge from LF02.
The WaRO concludes that granting the Representative Outfall Status to outfall LF01 would be beneficial
to both parties, DWQ and Domtar Paper Company.
• Request to remove the requirement to sample outfall WRA from the permit due to sheet flow.
Conditions was retracted by the Domtar Staff due to facility inspection. Domtar collected samples
from this outfall during rain event in March of 2010.

Subject: Domtar Stormwater Permit Dioxin Requirement
Brian,
Thank you for taking the time to talk with me by phone today. I have documented our conversation. for our facility records,
as follows:
Domtar's revised stormwater permit NCS000189 currently contains the requirement to sample and analyze for dioxin
from the outfalls because the Roanoke River and Welch Creek are currently listed as impaired for dioxin and are
posted.
Domtar may request to have this analytical requirement removed from the permit after completing sufficient sampling
to determine there is no issue concerning dioxin in any stormwater runoff from our facility.
We are to analyze for Total dioxin only, which is 2,3,7,8 TCDD
Please advise if we have misunderstood the permit directives with this documented clarification. Thank you.for your
responsiveness to our questions.

RE: Domtar Paper Company, LLC - Plymouth - NCS000189
Hello,
In reviewing the information that Tamika Boone presented for the operation, there are more outfalls that should be
monitored. Based on the outfalls that are listed in Item 3 of the facilities response (their order may be of significance for
them), I recommend all to be included except FY01 (which is stated by the company as not being around an industrial
activity and Travis Smith's comment being that the area would drain to the WWTS for treatment). Mr. AI concurred that
the outfalls listed as being dry or having sheet flow should remain in the permit until adequate history to justify that no flow
is available to be sample is provided by the facility (LF02, PRPA, WRA, NBA, OBA, WLS01 & WYN). Mr. Al is also
agreeable that the locations that expect a change, should remain in the permit with a condition being included so that
reporting is not necessary until the change occurs so that sampling is possible (LF03 & LF04).
So to list all that I recommend to be included in the permit (CP01, CL11, CL13, CL14, LF01, LF02, LF03, LF04, PRPA,
WRA, NBA, OBA, WLS01, RY01, & WYN).
Please let me know if you need more information of call me if you would like to discuss.
Thanks,
Thom

Thom,
I am working on drafting a final sw permit for Domtar. I received a few comments from them. One comment was to list
the outfalls that will need to be sample. I had planned to list them and had asked in the staff report about outfalls: CLll,
CL 13, LF01, AF01, CP01 and FY01. The signed staff report showed checks by CLll, CL13, LF01. AR01, CP01 and FY01
had a note — W WTS — internal ditches. Then RY01 was added on the end. Should I include all of these in the permit or
just the checked ones?
They also had a comment that CL14, PRPA and WYN outfalls are missing from the map I included in the draft permit.
Should any of these be sampled as well?
I attached their comments if you want to look at them. Let me know if you need any more info.

I apologize for not getting this processed earlier so that you would have received the staff report comments signed by the
region prior to the date specified. I will get it back in motion today, but I doubt that you will receive the signed comments
until after tomorrow. So to try to keep you on schedule, my comments are:
In anticipation of this request, as previously noted on the upcoming project notice forwarded to me by Al Hodge, that I
printed on 1/23/09, Travis Smith inspected the facility;on 4/9/09 and his comments were:
"Facility is doing a great job in keeping up with the permit specifications. The facility puts signs up identifying each
stormwater outfall on the map. The signs also tell whom to contact in case of a spill and which waterway it will drain into.
Another good practice the facility uses, is when a landfill is closed, each receives an individual sedimentation pond as
pretreatment. All ditches and runoff from chip piles flows back to the facilities water treatment plant for treatment. I
recommend renewal of the permit."
And therefore, I also have no objection to the draft permit as proposed to continue permitting this facility.
Please let me know if you need more information and again, the comments from the region will be submitted today for
approval and continued processing.

Subject. Comments Concerning the Draft Stormwater NPDES Permit No. NCS000189,
Domtar Paper Company, LLC, Plymouth, NC
Dear Mr. Lowther,
After reviewing the Sormwater draft permit, received by our office on June 3, 2009, we
have the following comments:
It would be helpful for the permit to specifically list all the SW outfalls at which
analytical monitoring is required. The location map provided at the front of the
draft permit does not show all outfalls. Is it intended to show all outfalls covered
by the permit? If so, the CL14, PRPA and WYN outfalls are missing. Also, it was
requested that the ash recycle area (AR01) be removed from the permit.
2. The permit references the requirement to list impairment and TMDL status of the
receiving streams on the site plan for the facility. The permit states on page 8 of
10 that the site discharges to impaired waters which are currently subject o Fish
Advisories for Dioxin and Mercury. However, the reference provided in the
permit to determine status does not list any impairment for the Roanoke River,
Welch or Warren Neck Creeks which are adjacent to the Dointar Facility. It only
lists mercury impairment for the Cashie River which discharges to the Roanoke
River Basin. The Domtar-Plymouth facility does not discharge into the Cashie
system.
3. All SW outfalls identified by Domtar in the recent permit application and our
supplemental information do not result in a point or channeled discharge which
can be sampled. Several produce only sheet flow. Domtar requests that DWQ

require, sampling only at the point discharge outfalls. The table below provides a
summary of what can be physically. sampled.

4. There are two SW outfalls identified by Domtar in the recent permit application
and our supplemental information, which we will be required to sample
However, they are located in an area where there is no industrial activity
occurring. Domtar requests that these locations, FY01 and PRPA be removed
from the list of required sampling locations.
5. Our current SWPPP provides within a table, a listing of all potential pollutants
and significant materials that could impact each of the facility's SW outfalls.
Does this satisfy the requirement to provide, "a narrative description of the
potential pollutants..." as stated in Part It. Section A, item 1. (b) (pg 1 of 10) of
the draft?
6. Please provide a basis for the benchmark values and imposing adherence to these
values on the Domtar-Plymouth facility. Current economic and market conditions

have lead to a reduced number in workforce. As a result, we have limited
resources to take on the burden of excessive sampling and analysis.
Why does this permit require increased analytical monitoring? In light of
economic conditions, we have limited resources to take on the burden of
excessive analysis. We invite you to visit our facility to ensure that this level of
effort is necessary.
If you have any questions or require any additional information pertaining to these
comments, please contact me by phone, [phone] or by email,

Dear Ms. Hardison:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
In response to your renewal application for continued coverage under NPDES stormwater permit NCS000189,
the Division of Water Quality (Division) is forwarding herewith the subject state - NPDES permit. This permit is
issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215 .1 and the Memorandum of
Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection agency dated October 15, 2007 (or as
subsequently amended).
This final permit includes no major changes from the draft permit sent to you on June 2; 2009.
I received your comments on the draft permit. The outfalls CL14, PRPA and WYN have been added to the map
in the permit. The 303d lists both the Roanoke River (23-(53)) and Welch Creek (23-55) for having a Fish
Advisories for Mercury and Dioxin.
Outfalls CL11, CL13, CL14, LF01, LF02, LF03, LF04, WRA, NBA, OBA, WLSOl, RY01 and WYN must be included '
in the analytical monitoring. The letter indicates some of these outfalls have sheet flow. If this is the case the
outfall does not have to be monitored. However, if some of the outfalls do become concentrated the outfall must
be sampled. Qualitative sampling must be done at every outfall.
Concerning your current SPPP question about whether or not a list of potential pollutants and significant
materials satisfies the narrative description of the potential pollutants, a list should be fine to satisfy this
requirement.
Benchmarks are now included in all of our individual stormwater permits. These benchmarks provide a
standard guidance for determining pollutant concentration levels of concern. Benchmarks for BOD and COD
are based on Secondary Treatment Regulation (40 CFR 133.03). The benchmark for TSS is based on National
Urban Runoff Program (NURP) Study. The benchmark for Dioxin is set to any detection because it is a
bioaccumulant and any detection is recognition of a problem. The range for pH is set to the water quality
standard.
The qualitative monitoring strategy remains the same (semi-annual) as the previous term of the permit. This is
standard for all our industrial stormwater permits. Please note that analytical monitoring is also required in this .

Hello,
In reviewing the information that Tamika Boone presented for the operation, there are more outfalls that should be
monitored. Based on the outfalls that are listed in Item 3 of the facilities response (their order may be of significance for
them), I recommend all to be included except FY01 (which is stated by the company as not being around an industrial
activity and Travis Smith's comment being that the area would drain to the WWTS for treatment). Mr. Al concurred that
the outfalls listed as being dry or having sheet flow should remain in the permit until adequate history to justify that no flow
is available to be sample is provided by the facility (LF02, PRPA, WRA, NBA, OBA, WLS01 & WYN). Mr. Al is also
agreeable that the locations that expect a change, should remain in the permit with a condition being included so that
reporting is not necessary until the change occurs so that sampling is possible (LF03 & LF04).
i
So to list all that I recommend to be included in the permit (CR91, CL11, CL13, CL14, LF01, LF02, LF03, LF04,'RRPA,
WRA, NBA, OBA, WLS01, R �01, & WYN).
Please let me know if you need more information of call me if you would like to discuss.
Thanks,

Thom,
I am working on drafting a final sw permit for Domtar. I received a few comments from them. One comment was to
the outfalls that will need to be sample. I had planned to list them and had asked in the staff report about outfalls: CI
CL 13, LF01, AF01, CP01 and FY01. The signed staff report showed checks by CL11, CL13, LF01. AR01, CP01 and FY01
had a note — W WTS — internal ditches. Then RY01 was added on the end. Should I include all of these in the permit t
just the checked ones?
They also had a comment that CL14, PRPA and WYN outfalls are missing from the map I included in the draft permit.
Should any of these be sampled as well?
I attached their comments if you want to look at them. Let me know if you need any more info.

Hello,
I apologize for not getting this processed earlier so that you would have received the staff report comments signed by the
region prior to the date specified. I will get it back in motion today, but I doubt that you will receive the signed comments
until after tomorrow. So to try to keep you on schedule, my comments are:
In anticipation of this request, as previously noted on the upcoming project notice forwarded to me by At Hodge, that I
printed on 1/23/09, Travis Smith inspected the facility on 4/9/09 and his comments were:
"Facility is doing a great job in keeping up with the permit specifications. The facility puts signs up identifying each
stormwater outfall on the map. The signs also tell whom to contact in case of a spill and which waterway it will drain into.
Another good practice the facility uses, is when a landfill is closed, each receives an individual sedimentation pond as
pretreatment. All ditches and runoff from chip piles flows back to the facilities water treatment plant for treatment. I
recommend renewal of the permit."
And therefore, I also have no objection to the draft permit as proposed to continue permitting this facility.
Please let me know if you need more information and again, the comments from the region will be submitted today for
approval and continued processing.

Domtar Paper Company, LLC Plymouth, NC
Dear Mr. Lowther,
After reviewing the stormwater draft permit, received by our office on June 3, 2009, we
have the following comments:
It would be helpful for the permit to specifically list all the SW outfalls at which
analytical monitoring is required. The location map provided at the front of the
draft permit does not show all outfalls. Is it intended to show all outfalls covered
by the permit? If so, the CL14, PRPA and WYN outfalls are missing. Also, it was
requested that the ash recycle area (ARO1) be removed from the permit.
2. The permit relerences the requirement to list impairment and TMDL status of the
receiving streams on the site plan for the facility. The permit states on page 8 of
10 that the site discharges to impaired waters which are currently subject o Fish
Advisories for Dioxin and Mercury. However, the reference provided in the
permit to determine status does not list any impairment for the Roanoke River,
Welch or Warren Neck Creeks which are adjacent to the Domtar Facility. It only
lists mercury impairment for the Cashic River which discharges to the Roanoke
River Basin. The Domtar-Plymouth facility does not discharge into the Cashic
system.
3. All SW outfalls identified by Domtar in the recent permit application and out -
supplemental information do not result in a point or channeled discharge which
can be sampled. Several produce only sheet flow. Domtar requests that DWQ

require sampling only at the point discharge outfalls. The table below provides a
summary of what can be physically sampled.

However, they are located in an area where there is no industrial activity

from the list of required sampling locations.
5. Our current SWPPP provides within a table, a listing of all potential pollutants
and significant materials that could impact each of the facility's SW outfalls.
Does this satisfy the requirement to provide, "a narrative description of the
potential pollutants..." as stated in Part 11. Section A, item 1. (b) (pg 1 of 10) of
the draft?
6. Please provide a basis for the benchmark values and imposing adherence to these
values on the Domtar-Plymouth facility. Current economic and market conditions

have lead to a reduced number in workforce. As a result, we have limited
resources to take on the burden of excessive sampling and analysis.
Why does this permit require increased analytical monitoring? In light of
economic conditions, we have limited resources to take on the burden of
excessive analysis. We invite you to visit our facility to ensure that this level of
effort is necessary.

Comments for SW Permit draft.docx
Thom,
I am working on drafting a final sw permit for Domtar. I received a few comments from them. One comment was to list
the outfalls that will need to be sample. I had planned to list them and had asked in the staff report about outfalls: CL11,
CL 13, LF01, AF01, CP01 and FY01. The signed staff report showed checks by CL11, CL13, LF01. AR01, CP01 and FY01
had a note — W WTS— internal ditches. Then RY01 was added on the end. Should I include all of these in the permit or
just the checked ones?
They also had a comment that CL14, PRPA and WYN outfalls are missing from the map I included in the draft permit.
Should any of these be sampled as well?
I attached their comments if you want to look at them. Let me know if you need any more info.

Hello,
I apologize for not getting this processed earlier so that you would have received the staff report comments signed by the
region prior to the date specified. I will get it back in motion today, but I doubt that you will receive the signed comments
until after tomorrow. So to try to keep you on schedule, my comments are:
In anticipation of this request, as previously noted on the upcoming project notice forwarded to me by Al Hodge, that I
printed on 1/23/09, Travis Smith inspected the facility on 4/9/09 and his comments were:
"Facility is doing a great job in keeping up with the permit specifications. The facility puts signs up identifying each
stormwater outfall on the map. The signs also tell whom to contact in case of a spill and which waterway it will drain into.
Another good practice the facility uses, is when a landfill is closed, each receives an individual sedimentation pond as
pretreatment. All ditches and runoff from chip piles flows back to the facilities water treatment plant for treatment. I
recommend renewal of the permit."
And therefore, I also have no objection to the draft permit as proposed to continue permitting this facility.
Please let me know if you need more information and again, the comments from the region will be submitted today for
approval and continued processing.
Thanks,
Thom

Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwa ter permit for your facility. Please review the draft
very carefully to ensure thorough understand big 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. 'Analytical monitoring parameters, COD, BOD, and TSS, have been maintained for this permit. Dioxin
and pH have been added to the parameters while TPH, VOCs, SVOCs, RCRA Metals, and TOC have been
removed.
2. 'All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as defined in
Part4l 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.
3. 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.
4. You are required to collect all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during representative
storm events as defined in Part 11 Section 13. Qualitative monitoring is required regardless of
representative outfall statics.
5. You are responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote 1 of Tables 1, 4,
and 5.

6. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (Tile total rainfall
parameter is in this permit, however.)
7. Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with analytical
and qualitative monitoring. This requirement appears in all Individual Stormwater permits, however it
only applies to facilities that do vehicle maintenance. If the facility begins vehicle maintenance during the
permitted tinneframe then the requirements shall apply.
Other permit 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 1I Section A.
More details regarding secondary containment are provided.
3. Additional requirements for the Stornnvater Pollution Prevention Plan have been specified in Part 11
Section A. The plan must also be updated annually to include a list of significant spills and to certify that
the outfalls do.notcontain non-stormwater discharges.
4.. The facility must now implement a senni-annual Facility Inspection Program of the site's stormwater
management controls as specified in Part 11 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 CPR §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] or

Inspection Summary:
Facility is doing a great job in keeping up with the permit specifications. The facility puts signs up identifying each storm
water outfall on the map. The signs also tell who to contact in case of a spill and which waterway it will drain into. Another
good practice the facility uses, is when a landfill is closed they each get their own sedimentation pond to collect runoff. All
ditches and runoff from chip piles go back to the facility water treatment plant to get treatment.

Special Issues Explanation:
• Request was made to remove drainage area— Ash Reclaim Pile. During the last summer (2008), the
ash reclaim pile (AR01) was removed. The area is not currently being used for any activity. The pennittee
has requested this area to be removed from the permit.
• Request to include additional drainage areas. The north side of the wood yard should be included as a
drainage area. The stonnwater runoff would come off ofthe emergency hog fuel pile, an adjacent
equipment laydown area, and a river water pumping station with diesel tanks inside containment. It would
all drain as sheet (low to the adjacent wetlands, Warren Neck Creek, and the Roanoke River. The other
drainage area is. the southern east end of the contractor laydown area parking lot should also be included as a

drainage area. The flow would drain, as sheet flow, into a roadside, earthen ditch that goes offsite to adjacent
wetlands.
Description of Onsite Activities:
Pulp and Paper Manufacture Facility. Make encode -free Paper and Pulp that will be used for diapers. Pulp and
Paper mill which includes Wood yard, Pulp Area, three paper machines and power facilities.

Contractor Laydown Area, Landfill and Ash Recycle Area, and Plant Area. For the contractor laydown area,
the permit shows representative outfall status for outfalls C1,02 and CLI 1. Analytical monitoring for CL02
was BOD; COD, TSS, TPH, RCRA Metals, VOCs, and SVOCs. Analytical monitoring for CLI 1 was
BOD, COD, TPI-1, and RCRA Metals. Sampling was done quarterly during the 4°i year. For the landfill and
ash recycle area, the permit shows representative outfall status for outfalls LFOI and AR01. These outfalls
represent the landfill and recycle areas. Analytical monitoring for 1.1701 was BOD, COD, TSS, and TPH.
Analytical monitoring for AR01 was BOD, COD, TSS, and RCRA Metals. Sampling was done quarterly
duringthe 4°i year. For the plant area, representative outfall status was granted for outfalls 006, CPO] and
FYOI . Analytical monitoring for 006 was BOD, COD, TSS, TPFI, and RCRA Metals. Analytical
monitoring for CP01 was BOD, COD, TSS, RCRA Metals, and TOC. Analytical monitoring for FY01 was
BOD, COD, and TSS.

2. General Observations: The W WTS treats discharges from two other onsite, non -Weyerhaeuser, and non-Domtar
owned facilities. The alum manufacturing currently owned and operated by GEO Specialty Chemicals and the
precipitated calcium carbonate manufacturing facility current owned and operated by Specialty Minerals. There
operations and their discharges are clarified in the August 2, 2005 Renewal Request.
3. Impairment: The Roanoke River (23-(53)) and Welch Creek are on the 2006 303(d) list for a Fish Advisory for
Dioxin and Mercury. The Basinwide Plan identifies the sources of dioxin for the Roanoke River and W lech
creek are W WTP NPDES. Basinwide Plan recommendations were that DWQ, in cooperation with
Weyerhaeuser Company, will continue to monitor the lower Roanoke River and Welch Creek and will work
closely with the DF1HS to lift the advisory when there is no longer a risk to human health from consumption of
fish. The EPA approved a dioxin TMDL in 1996. Discussions between multiple state and federal agencies
regarding alternative dioxin clean up options have ensued. Such alternatives look at site remediation and testing,
removal and capping of the dioxin contaminant in Welch Creek.
From 2001 Basnnvide Plan: Fish tissue samples were collected by DWQ from two sites on the Roanoke River in
1995 and 1999. Eight bowfin from the river near Williamston had mercury concentrations greater than FDA
consumption criteria in 1995. In 1999, 15 of 24 samples (63 percent) of bowfin, largemouth bass and white
catfish had mercury concentrations greater than EPA and FDA criteria (0.6 and 1.0 µg/g, respectively). Mercury
concentrations were somewhat lower near Plymouth: four of seven (57 percent) bowfin collected in 1995 had
high mercury concentrations. In 1999, four (three largemouth bass and one chain pickerel) out of 22 samples (18
percent) had concentrations which exceeded consumption criteria. The Roanoke River and Welch Creek are
impaired because of fish consumption advisories and are discussed in following sections.
1996 Recommendations: The 1996 basin plan listed Welch Creek and the Roanoke River from Williamston
down to and including the Albemarle Sound as partially supporting due to a fish consumption advisory for
dioxin. Weyerhaeuser Company operates a facility at the mouth of Welch Creek and originally it discharged
directly to the stream. In the 1980s, it was recognized that dioxin, a carcinogenic byproduct of the chlorine
bleaching process, was accumulating in fish tissue. In 1988, improvements were made and the discharge was
relocated to the Roanoke River. Weyerhaeuser is required by DWQ to provide extensive monitoring in the
Roanoke River. The recommendation was to review this data to monitor the decline of dioxin in fish tissue.
The Roanoke River, from the Roanoke Rapids dam to the Albemarle Sound, is impaired because of a statewide
fish consumption advisory due to high levels of mercury in bowfin (blacktish). Bowfin with levels of mercury
that exceed consumption criteria were collected by DWQ in the Roanoke River near Williamston and Plymouth
in 1995 and 1999. Because ofthese advisories, this portion of the river is only partially supporting the fish
consumption use support category. DWQ will continue to monitor fish tissue in the Roanoke River and will
work to identify sources of mercury. Given the global scale of mercury cycling, it may be difficult for DWQ to
recognize significant reductions of mercury in fish over the short-term.
These waters remain impaired (Welch Creek — not supporting; Roanoke River and Albemarle Sound — partially
supporting) because of fish consumption advisories for dioxin. No fish should be consumed from Welch Creek.
Data collected by Weyerhaeuser Company indicate a decline in dioxin concentrations. Shellfish are not covered
by this advisory.
4. Threatened and Endanacred: There was one species that was federally protected within a two mile radius of the
site: Canis rufus (Red Wolf). The canis rtfrs is not an aquatic species.

6. Industrial Chances Since Previous Permit: In February, 2006, Weyerhaeuser permanently shutdown two
processes at the Plymouth facility: the NC I Linerboard Paper Machine and the Recycled Fiber Operation. In
2005, Weyerhaeuser modernized the existing Woodyard operation area. These three projects have resulted in
significant work force reduction. These process modifications impact process and storm water discharges to the
onsite wastewater treatment system since they involve operating areas that are contained in the sewer and
drainage systems discharging to the wastewater treatment system.
Former outfall 006 no longer exists. Rainwater is now routed to W WTS. Only sheet flow from the parking lot
runoff now discharges from the east side of the facility into the Roanoke River via drains in file adjacent
bulkhead.
Weyerhaeuser has relandscaped and reconfigured the stormwater drainage pattern of the West Contractor
Laydown area. This area is mainly vegetated now and contains few industrial activities. Most stormwaler from
the area discharges from the area into the adjacent swamps as sheet Flow. Two point discharge outfalls remain,
CLI 1 and new CL13. All of the former outfalls (CLI-CL12), except for CLI I have been eliminated. The area is
completely vegetated and its perimeter lined with either silt fences or hay bales.
A temporary outfall, LF04, now exists on the south, east corner of cell #2 of the No. 3 landfill. They will
eliminate the outfall as addition landfill cells are constructed. However, it is likely to exist throughout the period
of the renewed permit. Whether samples should be taken at LF04 will depend on if LF01 is representative or
not. Currently LF01 represents the entire landfill area. This will be evaluated at the site visit.
The Weyerhaeuser pulp and paper manufacturing facility in Plymouth, NC became part of Domtar Paper
Company, LCC on March 7, 2007. Weyerhaeuser's lumber facility located within the contiguous property
boundary of the pulp and paper industrial complex in Plymouth will remain under the ownership and name of
Weyerhaeuser Company.
Analytical Monitoring Notes: There are seven outfalls that require monitoring in the permit: CL02, CLI 1, LFOI,
AR01, 006, CPOI and I'Y0L The industrial rainwater for outfall 006 was diverted to the onsite wastewater
treatment system. Therefore, 006 was not sampled. Complete RCRA metals, VOC and SVOC analyses were
attached. '['here were four samples taken at each outfall.
Representative outfall was given for the Contractor Laydown Area (CL02 and CLI 1), Landfill and Ash Recycle
Area (1.1701 and AR01), and Plant Area (006, CP01 and FYOI). Specific outfalls to monitor will be included in
the final permit.
EPA draft 2008 Scctor-Specific permit, Sector B "Paper and Allied Products" recommends monitoring for COD.
However, SIC 261 1 is not included. Industry 2611 is primarily shipping pulp.
Metals detected at each outfall were: CL02 —As, Ba, TCR, Pb; CLI I — Ba TCr, Pb; LFOI — none; AROI —As,
Ba, Cd, TCr, Pb; CPO —As, Ba, Cel, TCr, Pb; FY01 —none. None of the levels were close to any current
benchmarks.
Recommended sampling:
CIA I- BOD, COD, TSS
CL13- BOD, COD, TSS
LF01- BOD, COD, TSS
AROI- BOD, COD, TSS
CPO 1- BOD, COD, TSS
FYOI- BOD, COD, TSS
C1.02 will be removed with from the analytical monitoring because it no longer exists. CLI I and LF04 have
been added.

Dioxin was added as monitoring parameter because of the TMDL for Dioxin.
8. Qualitative Monitoring Notes: Some visual monitoring was given for on a semiannual basis. As for visual
inspections, each time only "Monitored parameters noted as present or not. present. No significant issues noted."
The control measure onsite were also inspected semiannually. 3/31/03 and 1 1/20/03 noted the ash pile needed
improvement to maintain ash inside of earthen berm. 6/22/04 noted there was a new outfall in the No. 3 landfill
Some trash was noted in the west contractor laydown area. 6/14/05 and 1 1/1 1/05 noted that regarding and
reconfiguration of west contractor laydown area outfalls and rainfall flow pattern was going to take place as part
of the CERCLA remediation governing this location.

Revised Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring:
I. Maintaining the monitoring parameters COD, BOD, and TSS at all outfalls. Add Dioxin as a monitoring
parameter. TPI-1, VOCs, SVOCs, RCRA Metals, and TOC have been removed. (Specific rationale back in
previous text)
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 mininuun 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 stornwater 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 tile 'Fier 2 guidelines which require a repetition of
the steps listed for 'Fier I 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 11 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 1 of Tables I, 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
outfitll. The map requirements are stated more explicitly. And, the site plan nmst 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 Slonnwater 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 runoffas 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.

Discussions with permittee: Diane Hardison, 252-793-861 1, 12/05/08 [e-mail]
1. General description of industrial activities? Pulp and Paper Man: factioe Facility. Make uncode-f ee Paper
and Pulp that will be used for diapers. Pulp and Paper mill which includes Woodyard, Pnlp Area, three paper
machines and poster facilities.
2. Have there been any changes since filing the application? Yes. Will send in changes.
3. Why are there high TSS values? No sure btu described the areas. CL area has changed to provide sheet flow
and only 2 outlets. AR01 has been done away with. CPO is a road side ditch that have piles of hark and coal
nearby. The piles have trenches around them but some dust can be blown by the word. F}'01 is a paved area
where rucks come in and oat
4. The renewal application indicates a temporary outfall named LF04 on the south, east corner of cell #2 of the No.
3 Landfill. Does this outfall exist now? Yes, still there.
5. Do you have vehicle maintenance onsite? Yes, but all the area is inside and water goes to the WW.
From Waste Water Permit File:
Weyerhaeuser Plymouth Dioxin Permit Histouy (copy attached). The history gives a timeline of dioxin at the mill.
The history states the facility changed its manufacturing process in the early nineties as part of a $500 million
modernization project (including an oxygen delignification system and eliminating the use of elemental chlorine).
This significantly reduced the discharge of dioxin. It has basically been in compliance with its dioxin limit since it
became effective in the permit.
From the file: Dioxon Monitoring — monitoring plan for 2008 including tissue samples.
Stream Sampling
Outfall 006- analyzed for 2,3,7,8 TCDD and 12 chlorinated phenol compounds
Dioxins (http://www.epi.state.nc.tis/epi/fish/contaminants.litml)
There are a number ot'dioxin compounds. Dioxins are not intentionally manufactured by industry. They are the
byproduct of other industrial processes. The most heavily studied compound - 2,3,7,8 TCDD - is formed during
the chlorine bleaching process at pulp and paper mills. All of North Carolina's dioxin -related fish consumption
advisories are related to paper mills. All of the paper mills have made substantial changes to their processes to
reduce or prevent dioxin formation. That's why several of the advisories have been modified since they were
originally issued.
Studies have shown that exposure to 2,3,7,8-TCDD increases the risk of several types of cancer in animals.
Some studies suggest that dioxin increases the risk of certain types of cancer in humans. Other studies don't
show any connection between dioxin exposure and cancer. The most common health effect in humans is
chloracne. Chloracne is a severe skin disease, characterized by large, deep acne -like lesions.

for Stormwater NPDES Perrrrit No. NCS00018, Domtar Paper Company, LLC,
Plymouth, NC
Dear Mr. Lowther:
This letter provides supplemental information for inclusion with the Stormwater NPDES
Permit Renewal Request that Domtar (formerly Weyerhaeuser) submitted to DWQ on
April 24, 2006 for review.
Request to Remove Drainage Area — Ash Reclaim Pile
During the summer of this year, the ash reclaim pile (AR01) was removed. The area is
not currently being used for any activity. It is requested that this area be removed from
the permit.
Request to Include Additional drainage areas
• The north side of the wood yard should be included as a drainage area. The
Stormwater runoff would come off of the emergency hog fuel pile, an adjacent
equipment laydown area, and a river water pumping station with diesel tanks
inside containment. It would all drain as sheet flow to the adjacent wetlands,
Warren Neck Creek, and the Roanoke River (see attached map Figure 3-12).
• The southern east end of the contractor laydown area parking lot should also be
included as a drainage area. The flow would drain, as sheet Ilow, into a roadside,
earthen ditch that goes offsite to adjacent wetlands (revised Figure 3-6).
Update of Previously Submitted Site Maps
www.domtar.com

We have updated the site maps that were submitted with the permit renewal request. We
have replaced the name Weyerhaeuser Company with Domtar Paper Company, LLC. As
necessary, maps have also been updated to properly show permitted outfalls, newly
designated drainage areas, and areas that have been relocated.
If you have any questions or require any additional information pertaining to this

Dear Permittee:
Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under NPDES Permit NCS000189. This permit expires
on October 31, 2006. 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 supplemental 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 May 1, 2006 in order for the permit to be renewed by October 31, 2006.
Failure to request renewal by May 1, 2006 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 Mike Randall of the Stonnwater
Permitting Unit at [phone], ext. 545.

Subject: {Veyerhaeuser-Plymouth Stormwater Permit Renrval Application
NPDES No. NCS000189 W,
Dear Sirs:
Please find enclosed two copies of a completed stormwater permit renewal application
request for Weyerhaeuser's manufacturing facility in Plymouth, NC. The majority of all
rainwater falling on industrial activities within this facility's contiguous property
boundary is collected and routed to the onsite wastewater treatment system which is
permitted separately by NPDES permit No. NC0000680. This permit allows for treated
effluent to discharge via outfall 001 and non -contact cooling water via outfall 002.
This request for stormwater permit renewal includes the following items:
• A completed "Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Development and
Implementation Certification" form,
• A completed " Renewal Application Form",
• A completed " Supplemental Information Required for Renewal of Individual
NPDES Stormwater Permit" check form,
• A Current Outfall List table which describes each stormwater outfall,
• .Ten Site Maps from the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan that detail each
outfall drainage area,
• A summary of the analytical monitoring results during the teen of the existing
permit,
• A summary of visual monitoring results during the term of the existing permit.
and
• A summary of the Best Management Practice's utilized at the facility.
Summary of Significant Changes Since Issuance of Current Permit
In February, 2006, Weyerhaeuser permanently shutdown two processes at the
Plymouth facility: the NC 1 Linerboard Paper Machine and the Recycled Fiber
Operation. Also, in 2005, Weyerhaeuser modernized the existing Woodyard
operation area. The modernized Woodyard is currently in start up mode.
These three projects have resulted in significant work force reduction. These
process modifications impact process and storm water discharges to the onsite

wastewater treatment system since they involve operating areas that are
contained in the sewer and drainage systems discharging to the wastewater
treatment system.
• Former outfall 006 no longer exists. Rainwater collection projects now route
all runoff from areas of industrial activity'on the east side of the facility to the
onsite wastewater treatment system. Only sheet flow from parking lot runoff
now discharges from the east side of the facility into the Roanoke River via
drains in the adjacent bulkhead.
• As a result of the EPA Record of Decision concerning the CERCLA
remediation project for Operating Unit 1 (OU 1), Weyerhaeuser has re -
landscaped and reconfigured the stormwater drainage pattern of the West
Contractor Laydown area. This area is mainly vegetated now and contains
few industrial activities. Most stormwater discharges from the area into the
adjacent swamps as sheet flow. Two point discharge outfalls remain, CLI 1
and new CL 13. All of the former outfalls (CLI-CL12), except for CLl I have,
been eliminated. The area is completely vegetated and its perimeter lined
with either silt fences or hay bales.
• A temporary outfall, named LF04 now exists on the south, east corner of cell
R2 of the No. 3 landfill. We will eliminate this outfall as addition landfill cells
are constructed. However, it will likely exist throughout the period of the
renewed permit cycle.
Should you have any questions or require additional information concerning this renewal
application, please contact me by phone at (252)793-361 1 or by email at

Meeting Agenda
I. Purpose of meeting
IL Introduction of attendees
III. Overview of current consolidated facility -wide storm water permit
A. Overview mill aerial
B. Overview each stormwater drainage area and its outfalls
C. Overview changes in SWPPP (stormwater improvement projects) since issuance of
permit.
• 006 drainage area
DWQ - when Weyerhaeuser submits its analytical sampling summary report to the
State, it should note that "there is no longer any industrial activities draining to this
outfall; industrial rainwater now diverted to the onsite wastewater treatment system.
Therefore, 006 was not sampled."
• Contractor Laydown (additional outfall and some renumbering)
DWQ-attempt to sample in the some locations as originally designated as CL02 and
CLII. Unless permit changes, always call the sample points from which Company
collects, CL02 and CL11. Maintain up-to-date info on outfall configuration and
numbering in SWPPP. Continue to sample this area as it is today and as it is described
in current permit until start making physically modifications to the drainage system
and landscaping, then contact DWQ about the changes. If have sheet flow, don't
have an outfall and don't have to sample.

r
• Winter Log Storage area — in SWPPP, not in original application or permit
DWQ - yes it was included in original permit application and was addressed. There is
no need to sample this area.
• Norfolk Southern Railyard — in SWPPP, not in original application or permit
DWQ- not an issue, make sure it is included in SWPPP only. This drainage area is also
represented by outfall CPOI which is required to be sampled. Still need to sample
CPOI even though have SW improvement projects around coal pile. This is because
rail cars still sit in this area.
• Two new sedimentation ponds for landfill #3 — mentioned in application, not
in permit, next revision of SWPPP should include them.
DWQ- Weyerhaeuser may not have to sample LF01 which collects 5W runoff from
landfill #2, if there is no longer any industrial activity in the area draining to it (#2
landfill is closed out and vegetated, no longer any waste disposed of in it). New ponds
#3 and 4 will collect SW runoff from new landfill #3 once Weyerhaeuser begins
capping and vegetating its filled (closed -out) cells. These ponds should become
sample points at that time. However, until these ponds begin collecting stormwater
runoff from the #3 landfill, Weyerhaeuser should mark on the analytical summary
report "no discharge". When Weyerhaeuser starts closing out #3 landfill, need to
start sampling and reporting for these two new ponds.
IV. Specific questions concerning 1" round of quarterly analytical sampling
A. For the contractor laydown area, may we sample CL09 instead of CLl 1? CL09 is
better configured in the field.
DWQ- Outfall CL09 is not favorable for sampling. The outfall in the area currently
identified as CLIO is more representative of the industrial activity in that drainage
area of the contractor laydown area. The outfall currently identified as CLII is not a
good sample point; it is more like sheet flow, not channeled. CLIO is very close to
CLII. Weyerhaeuser should sample at location CL10 and call this CLII. The CLIO
outfall has channeled flow and is representative of the industrial activity on the
south side of the contractor laydown area. When sampling during a representative
rain event, if don't have a discharge from the outfall the Company is to sample, then
check all the other outfalls in the drainage area and find the next closest one with
flow (flow over the rip rap check dam) and sample it. Company should document this
on the analytical summary report submitted to the State. If none of the outfalls
have flow during the quarter, document on the summary report, "all flow was
contained, there was no discharge during the quarter during any rain event".
B. We need to confirm method for calculating flow (drainage area) for each
representative outfall to be sampled.
• May we use the AutoCAD Calc method of mapped drainage areas?

Created on 9/24/2004 1:31 PM Created by Diane Hardison

DWQ - This is acceptable
• Are we to Calc total area and report, or total area divided by number of
outfalls, in areas with many outfalls and only 1 or 2 designated for sampling?
DWQ - Weyerhaeuser should use its professional judgment in determining the
drainage areas and document how it determined them. It is acceptable to use runoff
coefficients in determining total flow from an area. Weyerhaeuser should calculate
the drainage flow into just the outf all being sampled, not the entire drainage area.
• Confirm use of flow measurements where they can be measured and applied.
DWQ- Use your best judgment on length of rain to translate g/m into millions of
gallons (MG).
C. Define VOC and SVOC analytical methods for stormwater samples.
DWQ (answered via follow-up email from 9/21/04)
VOC: method 8260 GC Mass Spec. or Method 8021 GC PID/ELCD
SVOC: Method 8270 GC Mass Spec
D. Is the required TPH analysis for the gas or diesel fraction or both?
DWQ (answered via follow-up email from 9/21/04)
TPH: California Method
DWQ - When Weyerhaeuser renews its permit, it should request different, more
appropriate sampling parameters.
V. Outfall tour — field review of drainage areas and outfalls
VI. Other Questions
A. How should we handle changes in drainage areas and outfalls?
DWQ - Maintain updated 5WPPP, address changes with permit renewals
B. How should we handle incorporation of new landfill sedimentation ponds into
consolidated facility -wide permit?
See comments above under III. C. concerning landfill #3
C. Does original construction -related stormwater permit for landfill sedimentation
ponds remain effective?
DWQ - NCG permit is effective for construction phase only, will not be incorporated
into facility -wise stormwater permit that begins with prefix NCS.
D. Discuss plans for developing a wet log storage yard, with spray system — what are
the applicable regulations and permitting requirements?
• Tour site

• To discharge to creek, Weyerhaeuser should apply for an NPDES
permit to discharge to surface waters. Company would have to
provide "alternative analyses" to proof it considered all options
and the best one was to discharge to creek. It will likely not
acquire State approval to do this since it operates an onsite,
NPDES permitted wastewater treatment system. .
• To construct and use a holding pond, company would need to
request to modify its current NPDE5 permit to include the pond
and get authorization to construct it. There are criteria for
constructing ponds. They have to be lined. Look at regulation. For
details.
• If area to be disturbed > i acre, then need approved erosion,
sedimentation, control plan.
• To route discharge to existing WWTS, need to complete Form C
and submit to State and request modification to NPDES permit.
• Give State 3- 6 months to provide authorization to construct.
• Reg 02H 0.200 explains how to build pond and pumping station
• Robert to forward to Weyerhaeuser the forms and check lists
for items required for inclusion in request.

Dear Mr. Haynes:
This letter is to officially rescind your facility's general stormwater permit for the landfills at your site,
NCG120022. The stormwater running off of the landfill sites has been covered by individual stormwater permit
NCS000189 that was issued on November 1, 2001. We apologize that this recission did not occur coincident
with the renewal of the stormwater individual permit as should have occurred.
If you have any questions about this matter please contact either Ms. Aisha Lau at [phone], ext. 578, or
Ms. Delonda Alexander at ext. 584.
Sincerely,

Review of application package:
1) Analytical Monitoring
a) Samples were collected from 4 outfalls (006, 007, 008, landfill pond 1) every year of the permit term.
i) COD was above cutoff concentrations (COC) 12 times, TSS was above COC 12 times, BOD was
above COC 4 times, fecal coliform was above COC 2 times
ii) All results below cutoffs, except one pH sample which was 5.7
b) Sampling regime for permit renewal will be quarterly samples in 4" year of permit term.
c) Based upon meetings with Weyerhaeuser's consultant and the submission of new outfall data, seven outfalls
will be monitored in the renewed permit. The outfalls to be monitored are CL02, CLI1, LF01, 006, CPOI,
FY01 and AR01. Representative outfall status was granted for these outfalls.
d) Based upon individual characteristics at each of the outfalls, monitoring parameters have been revised for
the renewed permit.
2) Visual Monitoring
a) All outfalls were monitored.
b) No atypical conditions noted on a consistent basis
c) No dry weather flow noted at any outfall
3) Best Management Practices
a) Preventive maintenance, training and spill prevention / response programs in place
4) Significant changes at the facility
a) Elimination of outfall 008 through installation of new paved road and drainage ditch.
b) Regraded and paved main office parking lot to eliminate stormwater flows.
c) Elimination of outfalls 005 and 007 through diversion of stormwater to sewer system.
d) Modification of drainage system in the coal yard.
e) Installation of new No. 1 lift station.
f) Replaced pulp mill sewer.

5) Certification of S3P development/implementation
a) Signed and submitted
6) Basinwide Management Plan review
a) Welch Creek is listed as not supporting. The Roanoke River is listed as partially supporting. In the 1980's
dioxins were found in the creek, believed to be a by-product of activities at the Weyerhaeuser plant. As a
result, Weyerhaeuser continues to perform extensive river monitoring in conjunction with DWQ.

Subject: Draft NPDES Permit No. NCS000189 Weyerhaeuser Company, Plymouth, NC
Dear Mr. Evans:
First let me commend you and others who may have helped on pulling the complex issues of our —2,500
acre plant site into one usable permit document. It looks very good.
We have reviewed the subject draft individual stormwater permit for our site and offer the following
comments for you review and consideration:
I. On the cover page please remove the word Paper from the company name. Our Official name is
Weyerhaeuser Company and this permit covers all company operations at this site.
2. Part I Page 2 of 2 — The photo does not show all of the facility property most notably the landfill site.
This may not be an issue but I wanted to point it out
3. Part 1 Page 2 of 2 — Please remove the word Paper from the company name.
4. Part I Page 2 of 2 — The facility is actually in 3 counties (Washington, Martin & Bertie) with industrial
activity occurring in Martin and Washington counties. The production operations and wastewater
treatment system are in Martin County while the #2 & #3 Landfill and recycling areas are in
Washington County. Again this may not matter but I wanted to point out that Welch Creek is the
county line.
5. Part II — The outfalls do not seem to be listed or identified in the permit. This will not allow the
tracking system for the monitoring and inspection program to exactly match the permit wording. This
may be by design and as you intended but was mentioned in our internal review. Our internal
reviewers did not have the drawings and documents submitted with the request for this individual
permit application. An example of the potential confusion: is the contractor laydown area (on the west
end of the facility and Flail Yard (in Washington County on the east end of the facility) included in the
plant area?
6. Part 11 Page 4 of 10 #10 — Please list the recycling area with the landfill so we know it is included.
7. Part lI Page 5 of 10 — items a, b, c and d reference a mining permit and mining activity. I spoke with
Pat McClain of the Division of Land Resources about the need for a mining permit or borrow area
permit as you suggested during your site visit. He is familiar with our site and stated that the
sedimentation and erosion control plan covers this because the borrow activity is for on site use.
Please remove the reference to the mining permit because the activity is covered by our Sedimentation
and Erosion Control Permit.
8. Part 11 Page 6 of 10 — at the top of the page the (E) seems to be a typo
l/i
�IIlily ; lry
t. _�

9. Part 11, page 10 of 10. — Our on site vehicle maintenance facility is total contained and drains to our
permitted NPDES wastewater treatment facility. I request that this section be removed to avoid future
confusion. If the section has to remain in the permit please note that the first paragraph refers to Table
5. I believe the reference should be to Table 6.
10. Part III Page 6 of 8 item 5 —
Representative Outfall:
I. Our Contractor laydown area (closed #1 Landfill) has a number of outfalls which are substantially
identical
2. Our #2 Landfill has two outfalls from settling ponds and the #3 landfill will have 4 settling pond
outfalls (numbered 1-6) which will be substantially identical
We request reduced monitoring points for these two locations under the representative outfall status
provisions if they can be granted as a part of this permit.
Again thank you for your efforts and attention to these matters. If you require additional information
please contact me at 252-793-8693.

SUBJECT: Permit No. NCS000189
Weyerhaeuser Paper Company
Martin and Washington Counties
This office conducted a site investigation on May 5, 2000. The investigation included a site tour at
which time this office reviewed Weyerhaeuser's stormwater and wastewater permits. Concerns related
with their stormwater permit and renewal application are as follows:
1. Weyerhaeuser would Lice to "put all of their stormwater permits under their Individual
Permit NCS000189. This means that NCG120022, NCG080089, and NCGO40102 would
be consolidated under their individual permit NCS000189. The permits for construction
would still be issued under Land Quality's Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plans.
2. Weyerhaeuser is also operating a borrow pit for miscellaneous things on -site. This activity
needs to be covered under the individual permit and should include language similar to the
language under the mining permit. I do not believe they are dewatering or washing sand,
so the only language that needs to be in there is for stormwater.
Weyerhaeuser has an area where their contractors are stationed. The contractors use the
area for placement of their office trailers, vehicles and equipment, and their raw materials
for construction. Most of these materials appeared to be metal in nature. Also, it appeared
that the contractors were not performing any vehicle maintenance on site. This area needs
to be included in the permit. I recommend that the following parameters be tested for:
TSS, COD, Lead, Cadmium, OR and Grease and Turbidity.

4. Weyerhaeuser needs to address one area of concern where hog waste (wood bark and
chips) is stored. This area was a problem last time I inspected the site. Wood bark and
chips are washed in to the drainage ditches by stormwater. In one location, Weyerhaeuser
had even covered the drainage ditch with the wood chips. This is not something that needs
to be addressed in the permit, but wanted you to know about the situation.
If you should have any questions, please contact me at [phone].

Dear Mr. McIntire:

CERTIFIED MAIL
RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
The purpose of this letter is twofold; to request the replacement of several storm water
permits with a single storm water permit for our facility and to request authorization to
construct eight projects, five of which are associated with storm water runoff.
Our facility currently operates with five (5) storm water permits, one (1) storm water
outfall which is part of our NPDES permit and one (1) non -permitted stormwater outfall:
1) NCGO10000 - contractor laydown area
2) NCG120000 -No. 2 Landfill
3) NCS000189 - outfalls 006,007,008
4) NCG040102 - flailyard
5) SW7960306 - No. 2 Landfill closure project
6) NC0000680 - outfall 005
7) Non -permitted outfall - part of coal pile area.
The contractor laydown area is covered by storm water permit number NCGO10000. This
area was established as a storage and parking area for contractors during our
modernization in the early nineties. We now use this area for contractor offices and
material storage. Some minor assembly operations take place here and there is one
satellite hazardous waste module here as well. There were originally fourteen (14) storm
water outfalls for this area. Since that time, outfalls #1 and #2 have been joined and flow
into the ditch leading from our woodyard to our waste treatment system. Through time,
#9, #10, #11, and #13 outfalls have become one and actually sheet flow into the swamp
on the southern edge of the contractor laydown area. The remaining eight (8) outfalls are
intact.
1004,

Our No. 2 Landfill is covered by storm water permit number NCG120000. Storm water
runoff from the No. 2 Landfill area is designed to flow into two (2) sedimentation basins.
No. 1 Sedimentation Basin handles the storm water from twenty-two (22) acres and No. 2
Sedimentation Basin handles the flow from five (5) acres.
Storm water permit number NCS000189 covers outfall numbers 006, 007 and 008.
Outfall 006 drains the main office parking lot and surrounding area. Outfall 007 drains
the storm water runoff from our Area 8 shop area. Outfall 008 accepts storm water run
off from the woodyard chip piles and surrounding area. Outfalls 006 and 007 discharge
into the Roanoke River while 008 drains into the swampy area west of the woodyard.
Storm water outfall number 005 is covered in our NPDES permit number NC0000680.
This outfall drains the area behind our fine paper operation. This outfall discharges into
the Roanoke River.
The non -permitted discharge drains our rail storage area and the roadside ditches along
the power department portion of the mill road. Due to topography in the southeast comer
of the coal pile area, some storm water enters the roadside ditches. This outfall discharges
to Welch Creek.
As mentioned above, we would like to combine our facility storm water permits into one
(1) storm water permit. Our storm water permit renewal application for number
NCS000189 (outfalls 006,007 and 008) is presently in for review and renewal is on hold
pending further information from Weyerhaeuser. The water improvement projects we are
requesting authorization to construct in this letter will divert the storm water from outfalls
005,006,007,008 and the non -permitted outfall to our waste treatment system and thus
will no longer be storm water discharges. This will leave the contractor laydown area, our
present No. 2 Landfill, the flailyard and the new No. 3 Landfill (proposed below) to be
combined into one (1) permit.
In addition to the request for a single storm water permit, we are requesting authorization
to construct the following projects:
1) coal pile runoff
2) Woodyard drainage
3) Area 8 & Fine Paper drainage
4) No. I Lift Station replacement
5) Main Office parking lot drainage
6) Pulp Mill Sewer replacement.
7) secondary sludge dewatering facility
8) No. 3 Landfill
Projects one through six are described in the attachments.
Project No. 7, the secondary sludge dewatering facility will be constructed on our
approved landfill site. The facility will process approximately 400,000 gallons per day of
dredged sludge slurry via plate and frame technology. The resulting cake (35-40 %
solids) will be conveyed to our new No. 3 Landfill where it will be landfilled with other
mill wastes. The filtrate from the sludge will enter a sump in the process area of the

sludge facility and will be pumped to the No. 1 Settling Pond, the beginning of our waste
treatment system.
Project No. 8, the new No. 3 Landfill will be a lined facility with leachate collection.
Leachate will be pumped to the sump in the sludge dewatering facility and will be
transferred along with the sludge filtrate to the No. 1 Settling Pond. We also plan to use
some of the leachate and secondary sludge effluent for dust control on the landfill proper.
Storm water runoff from the landfill will be handled by three (3) sedimentation ponds.
The attached drawings portray the current conditions in black and the proposed project
designs as we know them today in color. The outfalls are identified by permit number for
your convenience.
Thank you for considering our requests. If you have any questions, please feel free to call
me at(252)-793-8326 or Joe Kloeker at(252)-793-8693.

SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
The permittee shall develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, herein after referred
to as the Plan. This Plan shall be considered public information in accordance with Part
❑I (Standard Conditions), Section E, Paragraph 3 of this individual permit. The Plan
shall include, at a minimum, the following items:
Site Plan. The site plan shall provide a description of the physical facility and the .
potential pollutant sources which may be expected to contribute to contamination
of stormwater discharges. The site plan shall contain the following:
(a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle map or appropriately drafted
equivalent map), showing the facility's location in relation to
transportation routes and surface waters, the name of the receiving
water(s) to which the stormwater outfall(s) discharges, or if the discharge
is to a municipal separate storm sewer system, the name of the
municipality and the ultimate receiving waters; and accurate latitude and
longitude of the point(s) of discharge.
(b) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading
activities, outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating or control
processes, and waste disposal practices.
(c) A site map drawn to scale with the distance legend indicating location of
industrial activities (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process
areas and loading and unloading areas), drainage structures, drainage areas
1'or each outfall and activities occurring in the drainage area, building
locations, existing BMPs and impervious surfaces, and the percentage of
each drainage area that is impervious. For each outfall, a narrative
description of the potential pollutants which could be expected to be
present in the storrwater discharge.
(d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred at the
facility during the 3 previous years and any corrective actions taken to
mitigate spill impacts.
(c) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the
presence of non-stormwater discharges. The certification statement will
be signed in accordance with the requirements found in Part III (Standard
Conditions), Section B, Paragraph 3.

Permit No. NCS000189
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 technical and economic feasibility of
changing the methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate
or reduce exposure of materials and processes to stormwater. Wherever
practical, the permittee shall prevent exposure of all storage areas, material
handling operations, and manufacturing or fueling operations. In areas
where elimination of exposure is not practical, the stormwater
management plan shall document the feasibility of diverting the
stormwater runoff away from areas of potential contamination.
(b) Secondary Containment Schedule. A schedule to provide secondary
containment for bulk storage of liquid materials, storage of Section 313 of
Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA)
water priority chemicals, or storage of hazardous substances to prevent
leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. If the secondary
containment devices are connected directly to stormwater conveyance

STORM WATER MANAGEMENT CONTROLS
Storm water, managerent 'control measures, also referred to as Best Management
Practices (BMPs), will be implemented by the Weyerhaeuser Plymouth facility to reduce
the amount of .pollutants,in storm water discharges. There are two general'catekories
of BMPs:
• Non-structural (Source) Controls: Operational practices intended to
improve storm water quality by minimizing or eliminating the
accumulation and potential contact of pollutants with runoff at or near
their source.
• Structural Controls: Physical B v1Ps designed to contain and treat storm
water runoff as well as control the volume and discharge rate.
Source controls have been given the highest priority for implementation in this SWPPP
as the most cost-effective, practical, and environmentally sound approach to pollution
prevention. At a minimum, in accordance with the Permit, the SWPPP must consider
the following storm water management controls:
• Good Housekeeping
• Preventive Maintenance
• Spill Prevention and Response
• Storm Water Management Practices
• Sediment and Erosion Prevention
• Employee Training
• Routine Visual Inspections w
Section 1.1 of this SWPPP identifies the existing control measures used at the
Weyerhaeuser Plymouth facility to minimize storm water contamination. These BMPs
currently employed at the facility will be continued. This section focuses on
improvements to the existing BMPs and new BMPs that could be implemented to further
S:\WCYLR97\WHYCR.5\1 M497 5-1

Woodward -Clyde
mitigatethe potential sources.'of polluiion.at 'the facility. 'Table 5=l�summacizes the
proposed BMPs to be implemented at the Weyerhaeuser Plymouth Facility. These
BMPs will be implemented as soon as feasible, but no later than one-year after the date
of the certificate of coverage..
5.1 STORNI WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION TEAM
The Pollution Prevention Team is responsible for developing, implementing, maintaining
and revising this SWPPP. Each member should be familiar with the management and
operations of the facility. Table 5-2 lists the members of the team and identifies their
primary responsibilities.
5.2 GOOD HOUSEKEEPING
Good housekeeping practices are intended to maintain areas which may contribute
pollutants to runoff in a clean and orderly manner. The Weyerhaeuser Plymouth facility
already has in place good housekeeping practices for the permitted drainage areas. Each
area supervisor is responsible for good housekeeping and weekly inspections by facility
staff makes sure that good housekeeping is maintained. No new good housekeeping
BMPs are listed in Table 5-1. Weekly inspections are conducted for safety concerns,
good housekeeping practices, and environmental conditions. These inspections are
conducted by pre -assigned mill personnel. .
5.3 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
The preventive maintenance program at the Weyerhaeuser Plymouth facility includes
weekly inspections by facility staff, bi-weekly street sweeping, on -site spill response team
and routine inspection and maintenance of the storm water conveyance system, aati
inspection and testing of plant equipment whose failure could result in discharge of
pollutants to storm water. The existing preventive maintenance program is effective and
already includes addressing storm water quality control. No new preventative
maintenance procedures are listed in Table 5-1.
S: \ W LYER93XWUYER.n 10.U1-93 5-2

Woodward -Clyde
----- -- ---
- 5.4 SPILL PREVENTION AND RESPONSE
The Weyerhaeuser Plymouth facility has developed and implemented a Comprehensive
Emergency Management Plan (CEMP)-to respond to any potentialspillsand-prevent the
— -
.
release of contaminants on -site and has a trained spill response team on -site to quickly _
respond to spills. The SCP addresses (1) material storage and containment, (2) spill
response .and- clean-up measures, (3) reporting procedures; " (4) inspections and
recordkeeping, (5) security, and (6) personnel training. The existing SCP will continue
to be used to respond to accidental spills or leaks which could potentially enter the
storm water drainage system.
5.5 STORM WATER MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
Storm water management practices are practices (other than those which control the
source of pollutants) used to divert, infiltrate, reuse or otherwise manage the discharge
of pollutants in runoff. The Permit requires that these additional storm water
management practices be considered where reasonable and appropriate. The
Weyerhaeuser Plymouth facility has previously implemented storm water management
practices and will continue to do so when needed. No new specific storm water
management practices are listed in Table 5-1.
5.6 SEDIMENT AND EROSION PREVENTION
This section describes the sediment and erosion prevention for the three recently
permitted storm water discharge areas at the Weyerhaeuser facility: Drainage Areas 006,
007, and 008, the Contractor Laydown Area, and the Solid Waste Landfill. Sediment
and erosion prevention in each of these permitted areas is presented in the following
sections. .
5.6.1 Drainage Areas"006, 007, and 008
The topography of these drainage areas is predominately flat. No erosion was evident
during the site reconnaissance. Erosion prevention in these drainage areas will consist
of continued maintenance of storm water conveyances, grassed areas, and paved areas.
s:�wev"93%WevCR.5\MW-93 5-3

Woodward -Clyde
5.6.2 "Contractor Laydowq Area .,- "•-< -- ,
The contractor laydown area has a Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan,prepared
by BE&K Engineering.of Birmingham, Alabama in accordance -with the Construction
General Permit. Appendix D presents the plan for the contractor laydown area.
5.6.3 'Solid Waste Landfill _..... ...... .._-,.._
The solid waste landfill has an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan prepared by
Weyerhaeuser in accordance with the Landfill General Permit. Appendix E contains the
plan for the landfill.
5.7 EMPLOYEE TRAINING
Effective management of storm water pollution will require all facility staff to be alert
to those conditions that may cause pollution. Furthermore, day-to-day proper use of
water quality best management practices by all employees is essential for the success of
the SWPPP.
The storm water Pollution Prevention Team (Section 5.1) is responsible for making sure
that appropriate staff at the facility understand the components of the SWPPP, how it
will be implemented, and their role in contributing to. the effectiveness of the storm
water control measures. The employee training can be integrated with the facility's
existing environmental training program in place for personnel involved with spill
response and materials handling.
At a minimum, the SWPPP training will be conducted annually and such training should
be documented. The following subjects will be addressed in the training program: r
• Objectives and requirements of the SWPPP . "-
• Spill prevention, response and reporting procedures
• Good housekeeping practices
• Material management practices
• Proper fueling and storage procedures
S: \ W EYZR93\ W EYYU,5\ 10.01"93 5-4

Woodward -Clyde
Regular feedback regarding .the implementation and 'maintenance of storm 'water
management practices are to be provided to operations staff by the Pollution Prevention
Team. In addition, the team will annually evaluate the ' effectiveness of the training
_ program and make improvements as necessary to promote employee awareness -and
accountability. 1
. (The facility. shall identify periodic dates for such training wit)iin- tliis SWPPP.)
5.8 VISUAL INSPECTIONS
Weyerhaeuser staff has a weekly inspection program in place that includes inspections
of housekeeping practices in all areas of the mill, identifies areas of concern and
recommends actions to be taken to reduce the potential for pollution. In addition to this
weekly inspection program, Weyerhaeuser will perform documented inspections semi-
annually that will be part of this SWPPP to ensure that facility storm water management
practices are working properly.
The Permit requires that a log be kept of the semi-annual inspections which documents
the following information:
• . Date of inspection
• Name of inspector and signature
• Problems observed
• Corrective actions taken or needed (identify who is responsible for
implementing the action and when).
Records of these semi-annual inspections should be retained with this SWPPP or with
other inspection records until at least one year after coverage under this permit expires,.
5.9 TECHNICAL AND ECONOMIC EVALUATION
The permit requires a study that addresses the technical and economic feasibility of
changing methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure
of materials and processes to storm water. In areas where elimination is not practicable,
SAW EYER9J\WEYER.5\ I G-N-95 5-5

Woodward -Clyde
because of their. size, (approximately 6 acres). There is also little contribution of storm
water from other areas, which can be seen on Figures 2-5 and 2-6.
5.10 SCHEDULE FOR SECONDARY. CONTAINMENT .
The permit requires a schedule for .secondary, containment for bulk storage of liquid
materials, including all Superfund Amendm-eats'and Reauthbcization'Act (SARA) Title
III, Section 313 water priority chemicals. .. .
Drainage Areas 006, 007, and 008 do not have any bulk liquid storage containers.

Subject: Specific Stormwater Monitoring Requirement
Analytical Monitoring - Permit No. NC5000185
United Organics made many attempts to monitor a "typical" storm in
1995 but was unable to meet sampling protocol (ie.)
a) The storm event followed at least 72 hours of dry
weather.
b) The event resulted in at least 0.1 inches of rainfall.
c) The event not vary by more than 50 percent from the
average rainfall amount and length for this part of the
country.
On 1/24/96, we were able to conduct sampling ofa "typical" storm
event. Samples were reported at 20 minutes intervals lasting 120
minutes in duration.
Attached find test reports for the required monitoring from'Blue
Ridge Labs.
We report total flow *calculated for each stormwater discharge
outfall (500) below:
Outfall 001 = .0045783 MG
002 = .00884282 MG
Total Flow = .0134211 MG
* Calculated based.on,the amount of area draining to the..outfall,.
the amount of built -upon (impervious) area, and the total amount of
rainfall.

drums, pails and bags. With the exception of the bulk
materials, all raw materials and finished products are stored
indoors.
By eliminating or minimizing the possibility of stormwater
coming into contact with potential pollutants UNOCO strives to
eliminate or minimize the contamination of stormwater
discharges associated with its daily. production activities.
As a result, fewer materials are carried away by stormwater
runoff.. There- is no need for collecting and treating
contaminated. ..stormwater and safety and , environmental
liabilities associated from spills and leaks are reduced.
Completely eliminating the exposure of materials to stormwater
is not always possible. However, for the UNOCO plant facility,
enclosure under roof or bulk storage tank has proven
technologically and economically feasible.
Containing spills is the primary method used in minimizing
bulk tank exposure of contaminants to stormwater runoff. Spill
containment is used for enclosing any drips, overflows, leaks,
or other liquid material releases, as well as for isolating
and keeping pollutant spills away from stormwater runoff. Two
of the, numerous exposure minimization methods used by UNOCO
and incorporated in "The Plan" are Containment Diking and drip
pans. (See Best Management Practices)
C. 2. United Organics Corporation provides secondary containment for
bulk storage of liquid materials storage of Section 3.3 of
Title III and water priority chemicals to prevent leaks from
becoming mixed with stormwater runoff. Stormwater that
accumulates in the containment areas is minimized by placement
of a roof. It is visually observed for color, foam, visible
sheens, and tested for PH and VOCS prior to release. It has
been the practice of United Organics Corporation to evaporate
or use its water in select process activities (i.e., sodium
acetate solution).
Accumulated stormwater can be released if found to be
uncontaminated. Records documenting the individual making the
observations, the description of the accumulated stormwater,
date and time of the release is kept for a period of five
years.
Revised 12/20/94 Page 10

Since it is the policy of United Organics Corporation to store
raw, materials and finish products, inside to. eliminate:or._reduce
exposure of materials .to stormwater, no attempt to
stormwater runoff away from current designated outfalls is
proposed. Internally through our Incident Investigation and
periodic monitoring program, the technical and economic feasibility
of changing the method of,operations / or storage -practices to -
eliminate or reduce exposure of materials and�process'to stormwater
will -be ;imp lemented:.

D. Industrial waste management and outside manufacturing
areas
E. Outside storage of raw materials and finished goods'
F. Loading and unloading by air pressure or vacuum
G. Sweeping and dust control
H. Containment diking
I•. Drip pans,
J. Good housekeeping for area control procedures
Best Management Practices
for Fuel Stations
United Organics Corp. has a no.2 fuel oil tank located at the
North West outside rear of the building. This tank is owned,
refueled, and serviced by Blount Petroleum. When refueling the
tank Blount Petroleum Company is required to follow their best
management practices in case of spill, leak, or drip and to notify
a supervisor at United Organics Corp. if there is a problem. They
are also required to follow United Organic's procedures to have
spill containment at hand and spill cleanup materials if needed.
When storm water flows over fuel spilled or leaked onto the
ground, the water becomes polluted with chemicals that are harmful
to humans and to fish and wildlife. Fuel overflows during storage
tank filling could be a major source of spills. Spills are to be
controlled by Blount Petroleum immediately. Small spills can be
contained using absorbent material such as drip pads or straw.

Best Management Practices
for Loading and Unloading Materials
Loading and unloading of materials usually take place on the
loading dock.. Materials, are moved by fork lift from the delivery
truck into"the building. or.from the building to the truck .that is -
to pick up the material.. United organics Corp.. (UNOCO) fork lift.'

the.offic'e upon arrival-. 2) The office will notify the supervisor..'
3) The supervisor will direct the driver to the location. of .the
receiver tank. 4) The supervisor will follow the accepted.
procedure . (ie. 'sampling,laboratory results, or other)'.before
acceptance of the product. The truck must be visually inspected by
a supervisor, an employee, and the driver. After all agree that
everything on the truck is in good order they then proceed to check
the equipment (pumps, motors, lines, and valves). when the
equipment has passed the inspection and is approved, the employee
and a supervisor proceed to put pails under all of the connections
as a safety precaution. 5) The supervisor will appoint an
employee to monitor safe unloading of the truck. 6)Driver will
hook up all equipment and must also stay and monitor unloading of
truck along with UNOCO employee. (UNOCO supervisor will unlock
lock -box around valve, and turn valve.).
N

Best Management Practices
for Liquid Storage in Above -Ground Tanks
Accidental releases of chemicals from above -ground storage
tanks can contaminate storm water.. Materials spilled, leaked, or
lost from storage tanks may accumulate ' in 'soils or on other -
surfaces and be carried away by rainfall. runoff.. At. United,
Organics Corp. the. -storage tanks -are visually- inspected' by the
supervisor. The storage tank (MMA, Toluene, &'Acetic Anhydride) "
=are -diked so if the tank were to rupture, the liquid could be
,contained -by -the diking. A shelter is built above some of the. :.
-_:,:.:.materials .(MMA-•& Toluene) tokeep the sun from shining directly -on
the tanks, thereby heating and vaporizing the material. The
shelter also acts as a shield from the rain and weather. The valve
connections on the acetic anhydride tank and the toluene tank are
in lock boxes. The supervisors, plant manager and maintenance
worker are the only employees with keys to assure the valves cannot
be turned on without supervision.
A visual inspection by the supervisor consist of identifying,
problem areas before they lead to a release. Areas inspected would
be tank foundation, connections, coatings, tank walls, and the
piping systems. Also, for corrosion, leaks, staining of tank
supports structures from leaks, cracks, scratches in protective
coatings, or other physical damage that may weaken the tank system.

� ..Best Management:Practices- --
for Industrial Waste Management and Outside Manufacturing Areas
Storm water runoff from areas where industrial waste is
stored, treated, or disposed of" can- be polluted. Outside
manufacturing activities can also contaminate storm water runoff.
Activities such as operations that use hazardous materials are
particularly dangerous., Spills, leaks,.'and materials lost from
outside' -manufacturing areas may build up.in,soils. or on "'other
surfaces and'be carried•away-by rainfall runoff
UNOCO • feels -that ..the "best =way -'to "reduce. the' potential for
storm water contamination from waste is that rso waste be stored -.-
outside. Waste management - areas and outside manufacturing
activities are conducted so as to reduce the amount of waste that
is created and consequently, the amount that must be stored. In
our waste reduction, we have installed a closed loop system in
specific areas, and an air recycle system for loading and unloading
bulk products. Raw materials stored outside are in bulk storage
tanks. The replacement of SARA 313 listed solvents with appropriate
non -listed solvents in processes is researched in the laboratory
and implemented when possible. Training and supervision of
materials and waste are given to each employee that is to come in
contact with that particular substance. Reuse and recycling of
waste products is researched and often implemented into the
process.

Best Management Practices
for Outside.Storage of Raw Materials or _Finished Products
Storage tank areas (raw materials and finished products)
exposed to rain and/or runoff can pollute storm water. Storm water
can become contaminated when solid materials wash off storage
vessels and dissolve into water, or by spills or leaks.
UNOCO,;feels the best way to avoid contaminating storm water:;._._

Best Management Practices
Loading and Unloading by Air Pressure or Vacuum
Air pressure systems are commonly used for transporting and
loading and unloading materials. This system is simple to .use and.
effective in transferring material from one area to-another..,In an air pressure system, :a `safety relief valve -is used to
-separate material from the.air and then release the air -accumulated.

Because of the enclosed nature -of the system, pollutants -are -not
exposed to wind or precipitation and therefore have less potential
to contaminate.storm water discharge.
Air pressure systems are used at UNOCO to unload acetic
anhydride from the tank truck to a 6000 gallon bulk tank. The
system is brought by the truck that brings in the material.
New. 12/09/94 Page 18

Best,Manageinent Practices
for Sweeping
Sweeping with brooms or squeegees is used to remove small
quantities of chemicals that have settled on the floor of the
building. A large portion of the floor 'sweepings are dust and
condensation from high humidity or heavy,rain. Cleaning by brooms
or squeegees are a low cost. practice that can be performed `by all=''-
employees and requires no special equipment or training
Sweeping. can -be used at many material- handling areasand
".,.r. process areas-. timing is an important -cbnsideration`for all'"
mitigative practices. To be effective as a storm water control,
cleanup.must take place promptly to keep all trace quantities of
chemical in the building. Cleanup activities are performed to keep
the tracking of materials to the outside to a minimum level.
Floor sweepings once collected are put into a drum and stored
in the plant.
Employees that are sweeping should wear the proper safety
equipment (Safety glasses, hard hat, & dust mask).
Best Management Practices
for Dust Control (Industrial)
Dust controls for material handling areas are controls that
prevent pollutants from entering storm water discharges by reducing
the surface and air transport of dust caused by industrial
activities. The purpose for UNOCO dust control is to collect or
contain dusts to prevent storm water runoff from carrying the dusts
to the surface waters.
Dust control is used in process areas, loading and unloading
areas, material handling areas, and transfer areas where dust is
generated. sweeping is UNOCO's main source of dust control.
NEW 12/09/94 Page 19

Best Management Practices
for Containment Diking
Containment diking at UNOCO'facility-is-permanent concrete
retaining walls that are designed'to hold spills. Diking -is one of
the most common types of containment and is an effective- method of_
pollution prevention for -above -ground liquid storage tanks. Diking
provides .one .'of' the best protective measures against the
_. .....contamination of storm-"water.'-It'surrounds the -area of concern and
holds .the. spill, keeping spill materials separated from+the storm
water'outside of the diked area.
There .is diking around the Methyl Methacrylate(MMA), Acetic
Anhydride, and Toluene tanks. Also, there is, diking around the
outside manufacturing equipment for the project Dazomet.
The containment dikes are large enough to hold an amount equal
to the tank or equipment plus the expected rainfall from a twenty
five year event. Since UNOCO does not have a overflow system
installed the rain water is removed periodically after testing and
record keeping have been done.
In addition, containment dikes are checked during the site walk
around inspection.
New 12/09/94 Page 20

Best Management Practices
-. for Drip Pans -•
Drip pans are depressions or shallow vessels used to contain
very small volumes of leaks, drips, and spills that many occur at
-. our facility. UNOCO's drip pans are made of metal and most are
-permanent.
Drip pans are used to catch'drips'of condensate water, and
_.., drips, leaks, and spills from valves, pipes, etc., so that the
materials or chemicals can be managed easily or recycled before
-.they can contaminate storm water. Although leaks and drips are
-• ----repaired and eliminated as part -of� - a -preventive.=-maintenance'
program, drip pans provide a temporary solution where repair or
replacement must be delayed. In addition, drip pans are an added
safeguard when positioned beneath areas where leaks and drips may
occur.
Because of their small holding capacities, drip pans will easily
overflow if not emptied. Frequent inspections of the drip pans are
done during the walk around inspection of the plant.
l�
New 12/09/94 Page 21

Best Management Practices
for -Area Control Procedures
The activities conducted at UNOCO often could result in
materials being deposited on clothes and footwear. As a result,
the materials may.find-their way throughout the facility.
A control rocedures involve practicing -good housekeeping
rea p_
measures such as maintaining processing areas',- katerial..handling
areas, and -storage. areas. The areas are kept'clean'so the.risk-of -'
accumulating materials on footwear and clothing. -is .-reduced. The
..'chance of: significant' pollutants. making contact witli- storm water.
and polluting surface water is minimized.
Employees are instructed by the supervisor to brush off
clothing and shoes before leaving the working area. In some cases
coveralls are used as overgarment where exposure to material is of
greatest concern. In the case of the coveralls the employees are
instructed to remove them before leaving that area.

As of July 1998, United Organics Corp. has had a significant change, which resulted in
the phaseout and subsequent deletion of its Bis Trichloromethyl sulfone.process . This
process used no process cooling water, which was dicharged daily to outfall-002.
Consequently the removal of this project has reduced the discharge to 002 and currently

b. 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:
(1) A study addressing the technical and economic feasibility of changing the methods
of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure of materials
and processes to stormwater. Wherever practicable the permittee shall cover all
storage areas, material handling operations, manufacturing or fueling operations to
prevent materials exposure to stormwater. In areas where elimination of exposure
is not practicable, the stormwater management plan shall document the feasibility of
diverting the stormwater runoff away from areas of potential, contamination.
(2) A schedule to provide secondary containment for bulk storage of liquid materials,
storage of Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority chemicals, or storage of hazardous
materials to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. 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 with a locking mechanism] and any
stormwater that accumulates in the containment area shall be at a minimum visually
observed for color, foam, and visible sheens, prior to release of the accumulated
stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be
uncontaminated. 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 years.
(3) 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
potential of sources to contribute significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater
discharges and data collected through monitoring of stormwater discharges.
(4) Inspection schedules of stormwater conveyances and controls and measures to be
taken to limit or prevent erosion associated with the stormwater systems.
Spill Prevention and Response Plan. The Spill Prevention and Response Plan shall
incorporate a risk assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials inventory
of the facility. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the plan shall be
identified in the plan. 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.
Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance
program shall be developed. The program shall document schedules of inspections and
maintenance activities of stormwater control systems, plant equipment and systems.
Inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of these areas shall be
incorporated into the program.
e. Employee Training. Training schedules shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis on proper spill response and cleanup procedures and
preventative maintenance activities for all personnel involved in any of the facility's
Page 5

Permit No. NCS000189
operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. Facility personnel (or
team) responsible for implementing the training shall be identified in the Plan.
f. Responsible Party. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall identify a specific
position(s) responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and
revision to the Plan. Responsibilities for all components of the Plan shall be documented
and position(s) assignments provided.
g. Plan Ammendment. The permittee shall amend the Plan whenever there is a change in
design, construction, operation, or maintenance which has a significant effect on the
potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. The Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis.
The Director may notify the permittee when the Plan does not meet one or more of the
minimum requirements of the permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee shall
submit a time schedule to the Director for modifying the Plan to meet minimum
requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with Part
II, Standard Conditions, Section B, #9) to the Director that the changes have been made.
h. Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur at a
minimum on a semiannual schedule, once in the fall (September -November) and once
during the spring (April - June). The inspection and any subsequent maintenance activities
performed shall be documented, recording date and time of inspection, individual(s)
making the inspection and a narrative description of the facility's stormwater control
systems, plant equipment and systems. Records of these inspections shall be incorporated
into the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
Visual monitoring as required in I.A.2.g.(3) shall be performed in addition to facility
inspections.
i. Implementation. Implementation of the plan shall include documentation of all monitoring,
measurements, inspections and maintenance activities and training provided to employees,
including the log of the sampling data and of activities taken to implement BMPs associated

Permit No. NCSo00189
2. Minimum Monitoring and Reporting Requirements
Minimum monitoring and reporting requirements are as follows unless otherwise approved in
writing by the Director of the Division of Environmental Management.
a. If a facility has multiple discharge locations with substantially identical stormwater
discharges that are required to be sampled, the permittee may petition the Director for
representative outfall status. If it is established that the stormwater discharges are
substantially identical and the permittee is granted representative outfall status, then
sampling requirements may be performed at a reduced number of outfalls.
b. Visual monitoring for color, odor, solids, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens and dry
weather flow shall be performed at all stormwater discharge outfall locations. All visual
monitoring shall be documented 'and records maintained with the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan. The initial visual monitoring event shall be performed simultaneously
with the first analytical monitoring event and documentation of only this initial visual
monitoring event shall be submitted along with the required analytical monitoring submittal.
c. For purposes of the stormwater sampling required in this permit, all samples shall be
collected from a discharge resulting from a representative storm event (See Part H,
Standard Conditions, Section A). Failure to monitor storm events in accordance with the
specified frequency shall constitute a violation of this permit. If the stormwater runoff is
controlled by a detention pond, the following sampling requirements shall apply:
(1) If the detention pond detains the runoff generated by one inch of rainfall for 24
hours, visual observations for color, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens, and dry
weather flow are required, but analytical sampling shall not be required.
(2) If the detention pond discharges only in response to a storm event exceeding a 25-
year, 24-hour storm (See Part II, Standard Conditions, Section A), the pond shall
be considered a non -discharging stormwater control system and not subject to
NPDES requirements, unless the discharge causes a violation of water quality
standards.
Samples analyzed in accordance with the terms of this permit shall be submitted on forms
provided by the Director no later than January 31 for the previous year in which sampling
was required to be performed.
Analytical results from sampling during the final year of the permit term shall be submitted
with the permit renewal application.
This permit regulates stormwater discharges. Non-stormwater discharges which shall be
allowed in the stormwater conveyance system are:
(1) All other discharges that are authorized by a non-stormwater NPDES permit.
(2) Uncontaminated groundwater, foundation drains, air -conditioner condensate
without added chemicals, springs, discharges of uncontaminated potable water,
waterline and fire hydrant flushings, water from footing drains, flows from riparian
habitats and wetlands.
(3) Discharges resulting from fire -fighting.

Permit No. NCS000189
If the storm event monitored and reported in accordance with this permit coincides with a
non-stormwater discharge, the permittee shall separately monitor and report all parameters
as required under the non-stormwater discharge permit and provide this information with
the stormwater discharge monitoring report.

conditions.
2 Sample Type: Defined in Part II, Standard Conditions, Section A.
3 Sample Location: Samples to be taken at each stormwater discharge
outfall (SDO) unless representative outfall status has been granted.,
4 For each sampled representative storm event the total precipitation, storm duration,
and total flow must be monitored. Total flow shall be 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.
(2) Cut-off Concentrations
The arithmetic mean of all analytical sampling results collected during the term of the permit
shall be calculated for each parameter and compared to the cut-off concentrations listed below.
If the arithmetic mean meets the specified cut-off concentration condition for a given parameter,
then the facility is not required to continue annual analytical monitoring for that parameter
during the term of the permit unless a significant change in facility operations or configuration
occurs. If a cut-off concentration results in discontinued analytical monitoring, the permittee is
Page 8

Permit No. NCS000189
required to maintain facility operations that ensure the continuation of stormwater runoff
quality.
The permittee must perform analytical sampling during the first and last year of the permit term
regardless of cut-off concentration conditions. Analytical results from sampling during the
final year of the permit term must be submitted with the permit renewal application.

(3) Visual Monitoring
Visual monitoring requires a qualitative visual inspection of each stormwater outfall, regardless
of representative outfall status, for the purpose of evaluating the effectiveness of the
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and assessing new sources of stormwater
pollution. No analytical tests are required. Visual monitoring of stormwater outfalls does not
need to be performed during a representative storm event.

Application For Permit to Discharge Stormwater
Discharges Associated With Industrial Activity
Section IV. Narrative Description of Pollutant Sources
Part B. Description of Past and Present Materials Management Practices
Outfall SW006 drains a total area of approximately 82,091 ft2 in the mill's Power Boiler
area, located in the N.E. comer of the mill property. There exists no storage of materials
such that they will come in contact with stormwater runoff. There is no application of
herbicides, pesticides, etc. in the collection area. There is a fuel oil unloading station in
the Southeast quadrant of the designated area which is diked and sloped to a sump to
collect any spillage or runoff. A railcar unloading station, located in the North Central
portion of the drainage area, is supplied with concrete containment and sump to collect
any spillage.
Outfall SW007 drains primarily roof drain runoff from the Fine Paper Roll Storage
warehouse, but includes roof and pavement runoff from the maintenance area located just
north of the warehouse. Storage materials present include steel pipe for use by mill
maintenance, and pallets for use in the warehouse. There is no application of pesticides,
etc. in the area. A satellite Hazardous Waste storage facility (1 drum), is located just
north of the drainage area. This storage facility is covered and contained to prevent
contact with stormwater.
Outfall SW008 is located at the west end of the mill property, and drains 290,625 Ft2 of
the chip storage piles, as well as part of the paved area around the screen house. Aside
from wood chips and bark, there are no material storage areas, nor are there any
pesticides, etc. applied.
Part C. Description of Pollutant Control Measures
SW006 includes two material unloading areas which are provided with concrete
containment and sumps to prevent contamination. Good housekeeping practices are
always followed in the power area to minimize washoff of ash and miscellaneous trash.
A mill Spill Response Team exists and is always on site and ready to respond to releases.
The mill also keeps an updated SPCC Plan and training materials for those involved in
material unloading.
S W007 includes a contained and covered hazardous waste satellite storage area.
Amounts of stored material are minimized by removal of full drums, and at least weekly
inspections. Those responsible for removal of full drums are fully trained in handling
procedures. This area also includes a pipe storage area and pallet storage. There is some
sandblasting of new pipe before painting, and when painting is done outside, materials
are placed on tarps or pallets.

Part C. Description of Pollutant Control Measures (cont'd)
Due to the large area of SW008, and the fact that material stored here is solely wood
chips and bark, minimization of contact with stormwater is not feasible. Washoff of
chips into drainage ditches is minimized, and the low slope of the drainage ditch
minimizes the amount of chips and other material carried away by the runoff. Their
drainage ditches are also periodically cleaned out.
Part VI. History of Significant Leaks or Spills
August. 1990: A spill occurred at the river water treatment plant involving
approximately 660 gallons of corrosion inhibitor containing 67% zinc chloride. Spilled
material was contained within a 15 ft by 50 ft area.
November 1991: A spill of approximately 200 gallons of hydrochloric acid occurred in
the power department, due to a broken valve on an on -site contractors tank. The spill
was neutralized with lime as it leaked through the valve.
August 1992: Approximately 500 gallons of 93% Sulfuric acid was released from a
storage tank at the river water Demineralizer building. Released material was neutralized
