Dear Stormwater Engineer:

RECEIVED
DEMLR-Stormwater Program
On behalf of City of Laurinburg, Smith Gardner, Inc. IS+G) is submitting this Notice of Intent
(NOI) for the NPDES Industrial stormwater program. This is a permitted Type 1 Compost
Facility. This submission contains the NOI form, a USGS quadrangle map showing the site
Location, and a site map.
Contact information for City of Laurinburg is as follows:
Name: Angie Foster
Email: afosterfalaurinbura.ora
Phone: [phone]
Additionally, the following is a narrative description of the site as required by Section 7 of the
NOI application form.
Compost General Feedstocks
The following materials will be accepted for composting:
• Yard and garden waste;
• Silviculturat waste;
• Dry or green leaves;
• Tree trimmings;
• Brush;and
• Wooden pallets in limited quantities (unpainted and without color/dye).
Compost Manufacturing Sequence
Acceptable yard waste materials including grass clippings and leaves will be hauled directly
to the compost area for windrowing. Limbs and woody vegetation will be stockpiled together
and used as feedstock for an air curtain burner.

Grass clippings and leaves will be windrowed and actively composted for at least 21 days.
During active composting, windrows will be turned at least once.
A compost thermometer with a that indicator and a minimum 60-inch long probe will be used
to measure the temperatures within the composting piles. Temperature monitoring will be
conducted bi-weekly (at minimum) until temperatures reach 131 °F, then daily for at least
three (3) consecutive days, aerating as necessary to maintain temperatures above 131°F.
After three (3) consecutive days of elevated temperatures (above 1317), temperature
monitoring will be conducted weekly (at a minimum) until temperatures fall below 100°F.
Temperatures of stockpiles will be measured and recorded at approximately 25-foot centers,
approximately four (4) to six (6) feet above ground surface. Probes will be pushed full depth
unless obstructions are encountered, in which case the probe will be extracted and offset
approximately two (2) feet from the original entry point. This will be repeated as necessary
until a full -depth push is achieved.
The curing phase beings after temperatures fall below 100°F. The curing phase of
composting lasts a minimum of 28 days, but is typically anywhere between 30 to 60 days.
During this phase, the product becomes stable and marketable. The product completes the
curing phase when the finished product's temperature is close to ambient temperature, or
when trained personnel deem appropriate.
Finished Compost
The finished products (compost and leaf mulch) will be primarily distributed to the public
(including the general public, commercial landscapers, and other professional users) for
various uses and periodically used for City facilities. The City may also authorize the
distribution of material to various organizations on a case -by -case basis.
Stormwater BMPs
The Stormwater BMPs that will be employed for this site are as follows:
• Skimmer sediment basin;
• Diversion channels; and
• Vegetative stabilization.
Wastewater Treatment
There are no plans to treat or discharge wastewater at this site. The only discharge from this
site will be stormwater.
