Subject: Individual Permit Renewal, NPDES Permit NCS000101
Dear Stormwater Program:
Enclosed is the completed renewal application for Stormwater NPDES Permit Number NCS000101.
This application contains the Renewal Application Form, Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SWPPP) Development and Implementation Certification, and supplemental information and checklist.
A current SWPPP Site Map is included, along with a summary of analytical and qualitative results to
date for the sampling period of the 5-year permit. 2019 results will be submitted as they become
available. A summary of Best Management Practices at the site and a narrative of significant changes
in industrial activities are also enclosed. In addition, an updated signatory authority is included.
Changes to the SWPPP include the addition of Outfall T due to new industrial activities. Five
stormwater outfalls were deleted because of removal or lack of potential pollutants, or due to
redirection of runoff discharges. Details are attached to the Renewal Application Form and are included
in the narrative of changes in industrial activities. These changes are reflected on the attached SWPPP
map.
If you have questions or need additional information, please call Wallace Coverdale at (910)362-4590.
I certify, under penalty of law, that this document and all attachments were prepared under my direction
or supervision in accordance with a system designed to assure that qualified personnel properly gather

SWPPP Changes
(Attachment to Renewal Application)
The changes below are the main changes to International Paper's SWPPP. Several Basins were added, or
deleted, and some individual outfall locations were deleted. Details follow:
• Basin T was added to the SWPPP when the mill woodyard was upgraded. A new wood truck
entrance and scalehouse were constructed, and the new outfall was created to include runoff
from this new location of industrial activity.
• Two stormwater basins were removed from the SWPPP, Basins H and K, because of the lack of
potential pollutants. The unused, underground black liquor line has been removed from Basin
H, and the adjacent black liquor ponds have been emptied and cleaned out, and are no longer
in use. Black liquor was the potential pollutant in Basin H. The only mill activities in that area
are a seldom -used, dead-end mill road and a rail spur for wood chip cars. Basin K also has no
potential pollutants, only a little -used access road and an underground natural gas line.
• Several individual outfalls were also removed: G3, F2, and R1. Outfall G3 is similar to Basin H
above, with removal of the black liquor line from the area. The same seldom -used, dead-end
mill road and rail spur for wood chips are the only activities in this area. Outfall F2 has been
removed; runoff has been rechanneled to discharge at F1. Similarly, Outfall R1 was removed
because runoff now discharges through Outfall S.

,..o,, Stormwater Best Management Practices Summary 2019
NPDES Stormwater Permit NCS000101
International Paper Mill
Riegelwood, NC
At the International Paper Mill, approximately 90% of runoff from the main
mill facility drains to the mill wastewater treatment system (WWTS), and
is treated under the mill's NPDES wastewater permit. Runoff from the
remaining 10% of the mill and from a few outlying areas is covered in the
mill Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). The SWPPP
identifies 18 stormwater basins, where numerous Best Management
Practices (BMPs) are used to control or prevent erosion and sediment
runoff.
Non-structural BMPs include numerous mill manuals, plans, and
policies. Spill prevention and response are addressed by the:
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan; the Spill Prevention, Control, and
Countermeasures Plan; the Hazardous Waste Handling Program; two
Facility Response Plans; the Chemical Hygiene Plan; Best Management
Practices Plan for Spent Pulping Liquor, Soap, and Turpentine
Management; and the Environmental Manual. All stormwater basins
include signs marking the boundaries of stormwater runoff and the
locations of outfalls. Activities such as chemical storage, painting, and
vehicle maintenance are forbidden in stormwater basins, and this
information is also posted. Basic good housekeeping is enforced, and
numerous mill employees participate in monthly basin inspections.
Annual training is required for all employees working in stormwater
basins. Street and storm drain maintenance is a focus in stormwater
basins. Grasses and other vegetation are maintained wherever feasible.
Mill policies limit the use of pesticides and herbicides to the absolute
minimum needed for personnel safety and establishment and
maintenance of ground cover. No waste operations are allowed in
stormwater basins. Dust control is limited to a water truck.
Structural BMPs and other control measures are used to reduce erosion
and sedimentation while promoting groundwater recharge. Grassy
swales and meandering natural streams carry flow, and geotextile cloth
with gravel or riprap covers bare areas. Jersey dividers protect unpaved
road edges. Earthen collection ponds and basins allow groundwater
infiltration. Rock filters surround several outfalls, and a small French
drain system directs runoff to one outfall. Riprapped swales,-a retaining
berm, rock checkdams, and drainage channels direct flow. A skimmer
and filtering manifold are in use in one basin, and sediment socks and
/AWI, bags are also used. Hardened spillways are also in place, as well as
riprap swales.
Faft'.,
In areas of high traffic and high runoff flow, hardened structural BMPs
direct flow, prevent erosion and pollutants from entering runoff, and
provide flood control. Recent roadway repairs in stormwater basins focus
on reducing erosion from roadways. Concrete and paved surfaces and
roads, as well as plastic ditch liners, harden surfaces. Concrete
containments, sumps, curbing, and two oil/water separators (OWS)
protect against runoff contamination. Runoff is conveyed via pipes and
concrete structures such as catch basins, culverts, U-drains, swales, and
outfall structures. A concrete flow diverter and a concrete flow diffuser
further control flow.
Planned BMPs: Investigations are underway to improve runoff quality in
a Basins R and T, where good runoff quality is difficult to achieve. No
decisions have been reached, but concentrated efforts will continue to
improve and maintain high quality runoff.

Renewal Application 2019
Changes in Industrial Activities 2015-2019
The Riegelwood Mill has experienced several changes to the industrial process during the term of the
current permit. Some do, and some do not, affect stormwater operations, as noted below.
• The mill woodyard was modernized and expanded to increase the mill's ability to produce its
own chips, resulting in the creation of Outfall T at the new mill wood truck entrance and
scalehouse. Other than the new truck entrance, there is no change in stormwater operations;
other affected areas drain to the mill wastewater treatment system.
• Project Zebra was another mill modernization that changed the process from a pulp/paper mill
to a strictly pulp mill. This large project eliminated dozens of process chemicals from the site,
all in non-stormwater areas. One result of Project Zebra was an increase in containerized pulp
and a corresponding increase in truck traffic, moving the containers of pulp into and out of
Basin R. Another direct result is a switch to strictly pine wood, with no hardwood mix. That
creates a change in the type of wood chips stored and handled in Basins C, D, E, F, and G. More
pine = more turpentine production as a byproduct. No.1 power boiler was also taken offline as
part of Project Zebra. The entire Zebra project has no impact on stormwater.
• During this period, the mill began burning more natural gas and less fuel oil in its power boilers
and the #4 lime kiln. A corresponding change is the cessation of oil barging at Basin A; the mill
maintains the physical infrastructure to receive barges, but has not barged oil in over 2 years.
• The mill produces potable water, and recently converted the disinfection process from the use
of chlorine to sodium hypochlorite. This has resulted in a large decrease in chlorine onsite, and
will eventually result in the complete removal of chlorine from the site. This switch has no
effect on stormwater.
• In Basin Q, the backwash pond from the water plant filters has been permanently piped to the
intake pumps at the pumphouse, and electrical backup has been provided. This minimizes the
chance of releases of backwash into the stormwater basin.
• The unused underground black liquor line has been removed from Basin H, and the adjacent
black liquor ponds have been emptied and cleaned out, and are no longer in use. Since black
liquor was the potential pollutant at Outfalls H and F3, they have been removed from the
SWPPP.
