RE: Stormwater Discharge Outfall Monitoring Report
Columbia Forest Products, Old Fort, North Carolina
COC No.: NCG210136
To Whom It May Concern:
Please find attached the Stormwater Outfall Discharge Monitoring Reports for Columbia Forest
Products located in Old Fort, North Carolina (Columbia Carolina). Columbia Carolina operates
under Certificate of Coverage Number NCG210136. Samples were collected on 5/26/2022 and
analytical results were received 6/9/2022.Outfall #8 was above benchmarks for COD. A sormwater
inspection was conducted within two weeks and identified the bark/mulch pile as the likely source
of COD at Outfall #8. This inspection was followed by a Tier I Response Form and appropriate
Corrective Actions, including the removal of the bark/mulch piles nearest to the ditch leading to
Outfall #8, which started in June 2022. Columbia Forest Products is working to remove the
bark/mulch piles entirely by the first quarter of 2023. Outfall #8 remains in Tier Two and will
continue to be sampled monthly until three consecutive lab results are below benchmarks.
If you have any questions or comments, please contact me at [phone].
Sincerely,

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