Best Management Practices
Fortress Wood Products
NCS 000008
Best Management Practices (BMPs) are measures used to prevent or mitigate pollution from any
type of activity. BMPs may include processes, procedures, schedules of activity, restrictions on
practices, and other management practices to prevent or reduce water pollution.
Baseline BMPs are general common sense practices which are inexpensive, relatively simple and
applicable to a wide variety of industries and activities. The facility has implemented the
following baseline BMPs with emphasis on management practices that ensure continued vigilance
of proper facility operations and a methodology of inspections and oversight that continually
reviews the program to facilitate effective pollution prevention.
Good Housekeeping
Those areas of the facility which may contribute pollutants to stormwater discharges are
maintained in a clean and orderly manner. All employees are trained in basic clean up procedures.
Waste media are collected for disposal on a regular basis. The floors of the kiln, stacker building,
and treatment area, as well as the ground surfaces are swept/ cleaned on,a regular basis. Material
storage areas are properly maintained and all containers are labeled in accordance with applicable
regulatory requirements. This BMP is addressed in more detail in Section 5.
Preventative Maintenance
Preventative maintenance inspections of facility equipment are conducted on a monthly basis to
ensure that all systems are working properly and to identify conditions (e.g. cracks, leaks, and
corrosion) which may cause breakdowns or failures. The most important areas for inspection are
the aboveground storage tanks and associated above ground piping. Defective equipment, found
during inspections, is promptly repaired or replaced. The completed "Monthly Maintenance
Inspection" forms are maintained on -site in this plan. This BMP is addressed in more detail in
Section 5.
Visual Inspections
In addition to the "Monthly Maintenance Inspections" of plant systems and equipment, outdoor
storage areas to include loading/unloading and the storm water drainage system (including the
drainage swales and outfalls) are conducted semi annually. "Facility Semi -Annual Stormwater
Inspection" forms are included in page 63 and copies of the completed forms are also maintained
on -site. The goal of these regular semi-annual inspections is to confirm that chosen Best
Management Practices for storm water pollution prevention are in place and working properly.
This BMP is addressed in more detail in Section 9.

Spill Prevention and Response
The area with the highest spill potential is the fuel deck which facilitates vehicle fueling. The
preventative maintenance/inspection programs outlined above are one of the most important
methods for spill prevention. They ensure that faulty equipment and deteriorating storage
containers are detected before a leak/release occurs. Good housekeeping practices also reduce the
potential for accidental pollutant releases, as it ensures that containers are properly stored and
maintained. Employees have also been trained in proper materials handling methods. Finally, in
order to prevent spills during loading/uploading, care is taken to ensure that all drums/ containers
are tightly closed and handled appropriately. Any spills which occur at this facility is documented
and records are maintained on -site. This BMP is addressed in more detail in Section 4.
Sediment and Erosion Control
All undeveloped areas surrounding the plant, including the stormwater drainage swales, are either
planted with agricultural crops or grassed to prevent soil erosion. These areas are inspected semi-
annually (Facility Semi -Annual Stormwater Inspection) to ensure that erosion is kept at a
minimum and grass and/or appropriate vegetation is replanted if bare spots are observed
developing.
Management of Stormwater Runoff
Management of stormwater runoff is accomplished through practices that control and divert
stormwater in such a manner that natural filtration of stormwater runoff occurs which reduces the
concentration and amount of pollutants in stormwater discharge from the site. This is
accomplished through management practices which minimize outside inventory storage of treated
lumber, management of areas which provide exposure of other materials and operations, and
vigilance as to the healthy integrity of vegetation in and around stormwater swales and outfalls. In
this manner, exposure of pollutants is minimized and stormwater runoff can be managed in each of
the five stormwater outfalls to reduce flow velocity of the water. Reduction of flow velocity
combined with the flow of the water through large areas of vegetation provides the opportunity for
pollutants to disperse, dilute, and be naturally captured on site.
Employee Training
An employee training program is provided to inform personnel at all levels as to their
responsibility for assuring that the components and goals of this SWPPP are upheld and complied
with. Employee training addresses each component of the SWPPP, including how and why tasks
are to be implemented. This BMP is addresses in detail in Section 6.
Recordkeeping and Reporting
Recordkeeping and reporting procedures are defined in various sections of this SWPPP and
Summarized in Section 9. The inspection, recordkeeping, and reporting program is established to
monitor pollution prevention practices, maintain storm water drainage areas, prevent spills and
leaks from reaching navigable waters, identify and document needed improvements, and define
responsibilities and communications in the event of a related emergency.

Activity -Based and Site -Specific Best Management Practice
Specific Best Management Practices (BMPs) for industrial activities which may contaminate
storm water include fueling, storage of treatment materials, outside storage for treated product, and
by-products of activities. Other site -specific BMPs consider storm water flow diversion, exposure
minimization practices, mitigation practices, and sedimentation and erosion prevention practices.
Type of activity specific BMP I Activity specific BMP employed
1. Tank stored in a bermed area.
Fueling 2. Dry sorbent material used to clean-up small spills.
3. Topping off of fuel tanks is discouraged.
1. Liquids and chemicals stored in tanks inside of the
treatment building where entire contents are contained by
the architectural construction of the building.
Treatment material storage 2. Tanker off-load area slanted to capture tanker leaks,
spills, and catastrophic events.
3. A mechanical dam/gate has been constructed on
Stormwater Outfall #2 as a secondary containment
strategy in the event of a catastrophic spill which
migrates outside the treatment area.
1. Treated product inventory is minimized.
2. Treated material is dead packed and stacked in such a
Outside storage of treated product
manner to minimize stormwater contact.
3. Treated material is placed on bolsters thereby avoiding
direct contact with the ground and stormwater.
1. Water condensate from drying operations is collected
Activity by-products
and recycled back into the treatment process.
