Dear Sir or Madam
As required by our NPDS general permit NO. NCG060000 and CDC NO. NCG060292 we are submitting our
Assessment of Best Management Practices for the Smithfield/Farmland Packaged Food Group Kinston facility.
Please contact me with any question.
Sincerely,

Material handling activities
Raw materials are delivered by refrigerated trailers, box trailers and tankers. The raw materials trailers
are backed up to receiving dock doors which have overhangs and drains that flow to the on -site
wastewater plant.
Any trailer containing raw meat that cannot be backed into a receiving door immediately, is staged on a
concrete bermed pad with a drain that feeds to our on- site wastewater plant.
All oils used in machinery are delivered in 55 gallon steel drums. The facilities procedure is to place all oil
drum deliveries inside the building as soon as they are off loaded. SOP KENG-002 Receiving Oils and
Lubricants.
Used oil is staged inside of the Central utilities Plant and is monitored during the reclaim process. SOP
KENG-001 Waste Oil/Waste Oil Materials
Used oil filters are drained inside for a minimum of 60 minutes before being placed inside a covered bin
that is staged on a concrete pad with a drain to an oil water separator. SOP KENG-001 Waste Oil/Waste
Oil Materials.
Bulk Tanker Deliveries
Chemicals used in the wastewater plant are located inside of the wastewater building in secondary
containment. Tanker truck deliveries are monitored during the off load. The tanker is parked on a
concrete pad that is sloped to a wastewater drain. All fill ports are locked and must be opened by a
trained designated Smithfield employee only. SOP KENG-004 Chemical Receiving at Wastewater Plant.
Anhydrous ammonia deliveries are monitored during the entire off-load by a refrigeration mechanic.
SOP KENG-003 Ammonia Receiving which references the facility's PSM program SOP in Vol. 1, Section 1
on page 1. Refrigeration mechanics review the SOP annually.
Bulk Salt, Lactate, Corn syrup, and Liquid Smoke tanks are outside of the facility in secondary
containment. Fill ports are locked and must be opened by a trained designated Smithfield employee
who monitors the entire off load of product. SOP KPOC-003 procedure for Filling a Silo
Diesel tanks and Gasoline are located outside of the central utilities Plant. Fill ports are located on a
concrete pad that is sloped to a drain that is an oil water separator. Both tanks are double walled and
the _fill ports are locked. Fill ports must be unlocked by a trained designated Smithfield employee and the
off load monitored continuously.

Feasibility Evaluation
All bulk storage tanks are either double walled with alarms or are contained within secondary
containments. Weekly, monthly and bi-annual inspections are conducted on all outside areas of the
facility.
Wastewater mechanics monitor all secondary containments for the presence of accumulated rainwater.
That water is then tested and then either discharged to the stormwater system or pumped out into 275
gallon totes and released to the on- site wastewater treatment system.
All oil is placed on portable secondary containments inside of either the main facility or the Central
Utilities Plant.
All deliveries are continuously monitored and if any sign of a leak or spill is found, the off load is stopped
immediately and the spill response team is notified. The facility has a trained Hazmat and Spill Response
team on site with the necessary material need to contain any type of spill or release.
Do to food safety reasons and the size of the bulk salt, lactate, corn syrup and liquid smoke; it is not
feasible to locate these tanks inside of the building.
Since opening in 2005 the facility has had no reportable spills of any materials and feels that the location
of the tanks within containments and the annual training are working well and no corrective actions are
needed.
Animals/Wildlife On -Site
The facility is a further processing plant and does not keep and hogs on -site. The stormwater pond
located behind the facility does however see geese migrate to the pond during certain times of the year.
The pond also has fish in it most likely caused by birds carrying eggs and depositing them in the pond.
The facility has no time stocked this pond with fish. The pond and surrounding storm ditches are home
to many turtles. Fecal coliform concentrations might be correlated to the presence of these animals.
Corrective Actions
--- The facility will be installing approximately 30 foot of pipe in the storm drain located near our open top_
trash container. The pipe will be covered with concrete so that any leakages from the container will not
flow into the storm drain but to a drain that flows to the wastewater plant. The pipe will allow rainwater
to continue to flow unimpeded. This project will be completed by 2/1/2014

emailed to the department supervisor and his superintendent along
with the plant Engineer and the Food Safety Manager. Once the issue
is corrected the completed report is sent back to the Environmental
