Section 1. Facility Activities and Process:
Fortress Wood Products is a lumber treatment facility. Untreated lumber is chemically treated to be
resistant to fire, rot, and decay using CleanWood 46+AF Mold Inhibit, CleanWood AC (nitrate
compounds), Sodium Nitrite, Stabil CB, and MicroPro 200A(copper compounds). Information in the
permit file history indicated the facility previously used chromated copper arsenate (CCA) and alkaline
copper quaternary(ACQ) to treat wood. Information provided by Dave Maddox on 4/4/2023 indicated
CCA and ACQ had not been used in at least the last 14 years. Lumber remains on the treatment area
drip-pad until drippage of free liquid from the treatment process has stopped. Once drippage has
stopped, the treated lumber is removed to the stackers, dry kiln, storage yard, warehouses, or shipping
area. The treatment process is a closed loop full cycle system (process system reclaims and recycles
100% of the drippage of treatment chemicals from the pads). Hazardous waste (trash, wood splinters,
liquids, and other objects removed from the treatment area) is collected and stored onsite for removal by
a licensed hazardous waste carrier. Fine dust is kept to a minimum by occasionally wetting heavily
traversed areas with water.
Treating plant/chemical storage, untreated wood storage, dry kiln, diesel AST, two (2) treated lumber
storage areas, and onsite vehicle maintenance.
Outfall SW001:
Drainage area consists of agricultural area. There is no direct exposure to stormwater drainage from the
facility at this outfall. Potential pollutants include TSS.
Outfall SWO02:
Drainage area consists of the lumber treatment building. Potential pollutants include TSS, copper azole,
nitrate, and nitrite.
Page 1 of 7

Outfall SW003:
Drainage area consists of the lumber treatment building and treated lumber storage area. Potential
pollutants include TSS, copper azole, nitrate, nitrite, diesel oil, and gasoline.
Outfall SW004:
Drainage area consists of agricultural area. There is no direct exposure to stormwater drainage from the
facility at this outfall. Potential pollutants include TSS.
Outfall SW005:
Drainage area consists of the whitewood storage building, dry kiln, diesel fuel AST, and treated lumber
storage area. Potential pollutants include TSS, copper azole, nitrate, nitrite, kiln condensate, diesel oil,
and gasoline.
Why Industrial Sites with Stormwater are Subject to a Permit: Federal NPDES regulations define
stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity in 40 CFR §122.26 (b)(14) as: "the discharge
from any conveyance that is used for collecting and conveying storm water and that is directly related to
manufacturing,processing or raw materials storage areas at an industrial plant. The term does not
include discharges from facilities or activities excluded from the NPDES program under this part 122.
For the categories of industries identified in this section, the term includes, but is not limited to, storm
water [sic] discharges from industrial plant yards; immediate access roads and rail lines used or traveled
by carriers of raw materials, manufactured products, waste material, or byproducts used or created by
the facility; material handling sites; refuse sites; sites used for the application or disposal of process
waste waters (as defined at part 401 of this chapter); sites used for the storage and maintenance of
material handling equipment; sites used for residual treatment, storage, or disposal; shipping and
receiving areas; manufacturing buildings; storage areas (including tank farms) for raw materials, and
intermediate and final products; and areas where industrial activity has taken place in the past and
significant materials remain and are exposed to storm water. For the purposes of this paragraph, material
handling activities include storage, loading and unloading, transportation, or conveyance of any raw
material, intermediate product, final product, byproduct or waste product. The term excludes areas
located on plant lands separate from the plant's industrial activities, such as office buildings and
accompanying parking lots as long as the drainage from the excluded areas is not mixed with storm
water [sic] drained from the above described areas."
Section 2. Monitoring Information and Compliance History:
• January 2015 to February 2023,benchmarks exceeded for:
0 001: COD 2x, Ammonia Nitrogen lx, Copper 20x, TSS 9x,pH min not reached 2x
0 002: BOD lx, COD lx, Copper 20x, TSS 8x
0 003: BOD 3x, COD 3x, Ammonia Nitrogen 2x, Copper 20x, TSS 12x
0 004: COD Ix, Ammonia Nitrogen 3x, Copper 20x, TSS 4x,pH min not reached 3x
0 005: BOD Ix, COD Ix, Ammonia Nitrogen 2x, Copper 20x, TSS 7x, pH min not
reached 5x
• Per information provided with the permit renewal review, the facility was in Tier 2 status
• Per the DEMLR site inspection conducted 3/16/2023, the facility has historically exceeded the
copper benchmark limit. The facility is surrounded by extensive agricultural operations with
drainage ditches that contribute to their designated stormwater outfalls. It is reasonable to suspect
that the offsite drainage may affect their SDO sampling results; however, additional sampling
Page 2 of 7

efforts to support this premise by the industry are inconclusive. After inspection of each outfall
and the activities within each drainage basin, concluded that ROS was a reasonable approach for
future monitoring. The facility will prepare/submit a request for ROS.
Threatened/Endangered Species:
There are no threatened or endangered species in the vicinity of the facility, but there is one species of
concern: Slender Blue Iris (Iris prismatica; NC status: SR-T).
Section 3. Proposed Monitoring for Stormwater Discharges:
The Division considered potential pollutants from past and present industrial activities and data was
submitted for January 2015 to February 2023. Quantitative sampling included BOD, COD, ammonia
nitrogen, copper,pH, and TSS.
Parameters are based on potential pollutants in the drainage area, sampling results, and in some cases,
dependent upon future activities (e.g., ash removal through the drainage area). Below is a table of the
proposed monitoring for each outfall at the Fortress Wood Products site.

Stormwater Benchmarks and Tiered Response: Rather than limits,North Carolina NPDES
Stormwater permits contain benchmark concentrations. Stormwater benchmarks are numerical action
levels for stormwater monitoring. Benchmarks are not effluent limits, and benchmark exceedances are
not permit violations. Benchmarks provide facilities a tool for assessing the significance of pollutants in
stormwater discharges and the effectiveness of best management practices (BMPs). Benchmark
concentrations are intended as guidelines for the facility's development and implementation of the
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP).
Benchmark exceedances require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions,
increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater BMPs in a tiered program. The permit establishes a
tiered approach to specify actions the permittee must take in response to analytical results above
benchmark concentrations. The tiered structure of the permit provides the permittee and DEMLR wide
flexibility to address issues that may arise with one or more parameters and/or outfalls.
Metals benchmarks are calculated to mimic acute water quality standards and with the guidance of
DWR. NC DWR follows established federal procedures for calculating acute standards when developing
the benchmarks. Just like the acute standards, metals benchmarks normally reflect one half of the
calculated Final Acute Value (the "1/2 FAV"). In most cases, translation into total recoverable values is
based on an assumed hardness of 25 mg/L and a total suspended solids (TSS) concentration of 10 mg/L.
Acute standards protect aquatic life from negative impacts of short-term exposure to higher levels of
chemicals where the discharge enters a waterbody. The Stormwater Permitting Program applies this
approach because of the ephemeral nature of rainfall events.
The Division may evaluate results to determine if a smaller suite of parameters for some outfalls is
adequate to characterize potential pollution or BMP effectiveness. For example, one or more metals or
other parameters may serve as an adequate tracer for the presence of ash pollution during disturbance or
ash removal in specific drainage areas at this site. For parameters that do not have a stormwater
benchmark, the Division may develop a benchmark value if appropriate toxicity data become available
or if rising trends in concentrations suggest a persistent source.
A summary of the benchmarks in the draft permit, and their basis, is below:

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan: The proposed permit conditions reflect the EPA and NC's
pollution prevention approach to stormwater permitting. The Division's maintains that implementation
of Best Management Practices (BMPs) and traditional stormwater management practices that control the
source of pollutants meets the definition of Best Available Technology (BAT) and Best Conventional
Pollutant Control Technology(BCT). The permit conditions are not numeric effluent limitations but are
designed to be flexible requirements for implementing site-specific plans to minimize and control
pollutants in stormwater discharges associated with the industrial activity. Title 40 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) §122.44(k)(2) authorizes the use of BMPs in lieu of numeric effluent limitations in
NPDES permits when the agency finds numeric effluent limitations to be infeasible. The agency may
also impose BMP requirements which are "reasonably necessary" to carry out the purposes of the Act
under the authority of 40 CFR 122.44(k)(3). The conditions proposed in this draft permit are included
under the authority of both of these regulatory provisions. In essence, the pollution prevention and BMP
requirements operate as limitations on effluent discharges that reflect the application of BAT/BCT.
Flexibility in Tier Responses: Tier Two actions provide an opportunity for the permittee to propose an
alternative monitoring plan for approval by the Region:
• Alternatively, in lieu of steps 2 and 3, the permittee may, after two consecutive exceedances,
exercise the option of contacting the DEMLR Regional Engineer as provided below in Tier
Three. The Regional Engineer may direct the response actions on the part of the permittee as
provided in Tier Three, including reduced or additional sampling parameters or frequency.
• If pursuing the alternative above after two consecutive exceedances, the permittee may propose
an alternative monitoring plan for approval by the Regional Engineer.
The permit therefore allows the permittee to petition the Regional Office for monitoring changes sooner
than Tier Three (upon any four benchmark exceedances) and gives guidance on one option to take. For
example, the permittee may request that mercury only be monitored semi-annually under the tiers, or
Page 5 of 7

that only parameters over the benchmark be monitored more frequently. In this way, changes to the
monitoring scheme for any outfall could be handled outside of a permit modification.
Other Proposed Requirements:
• It is standard for Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan(SWPPP)requirements to include an
annual certification that stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-
stormwater discharges, and if any are identified, how those discharges are permitted or otherwise
authorized.
• Requirement to submit a request for permit modification if the facility identifies or creates any
new outfalls, removes outfalls, or alters any drainage area that changes potential pollutants.
• The Division expects the permittee to apply best professional judgment and consider the safety
of its personnel in fulfilling sampling obligations under the permit.
• Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs). If a
state does not establish a system to receive such submittals, then permittees must submit DMRs
electronically to the EPA.
• Quarterly QualitativeNisual Monitoring to assure regular observation of outfalls throughout
year.
Section 4. Changes from previous permit to draft:
• Monitoring increased from semi-annually to quarterly for all parameters (qualitative and
quantitative)
• "No discharge" clarifications made
• Feasibility study requirement removed per updated stormwater program requirements
• eDMR requirement added
• Boilerplate language moved into body of the permit; boilerplate no longer attached
• Outfall-specific monitoring has been implemented to reflect industrial activity and potential
pollutants specific to each discharge area
• Monitoring for ammonia nitrogen updated seasonally
• Monitoring for total nitrogen added due to pollutants and industrial activities onsite
• Monitoring for total hardness added for all outfalls as monitoring for hardness dependent metals
is required
• Benchmarks updated for parameters per guidance from DWR Standards group on stormwater
benchmarks
Section 5. Changes from draft to final:
• None
Section 6. Discussions with the Facility and Regional Office:
• Initial contact with facility: 3/3/2023
• Initial contact with Regional Office: 3/3/2023
• Draft sent to CO peer review: N/A
• Draft sent to Regional Office: 4/26/2023

Subject: [External] Recent Supreme Court Ruling on Clean Water Act
CAUTION: External email. Do not click links or open attachments unless verified. Report suspicious emails with the Report Message
button located on your Outlook menu bar on the Home tab.
Good morning Ms.Young,
Considering the recent ruling last week by
the U. S. Supreme Court rebuking the U.S.
EPA's continuous manipulation of legal
definitions and Congressional Original mandate
of the Clean Water Act (CWA) , in that,
the Supreme Court has unanimously ruled
U.S.EPA has continuously over stepped it's
legal authority for years and ruled that the
CWA CAN ONLY ALLOW the U.S.EPA to regulate
discharges of water into wetlands that are
indistinguishable from protected waters.
Under this decision, other wetlands ARE NO
longer protected under the CWA in the way
U.S.EPA was mandating. The Supreme Court
decision has very broad and wider reaching
ramifications for federal and state
regulators on water quality management in
general and STORMWATER management specifically.
By U.S. EPA's own admission to the Court,
their interpretation of NAVAGATABLE WATERS,
as set forth by Congress in the CWA, makes
nearly all waters and wetlands in the United
States susceptible to their many years of
unchallenged rules and written regulations.
This gross and bureaucratic interpretive
over reach of the CWA by U.S. EPA literally
risks criminal prosecutions for such
mundane things as moving dirt.
The CWA extends to ONLY streams, oceans,
rivers and lakes and those wetlands with a
"continuous SURFACE connection to those
bodies", " a continuous surface connection
to bodies of the United States in their own
right.
In both Draft Permits for NCS000008 and
NCS000566, the wording of discharge to
receiving waters DESIGNATED as an UNNAMED
TRIBUTARY appear. Also, in NCS000566, the receiving
stream is listed "as impaired for benthos on the
1

North Carolina 2022 303 (d) Impaired Water
List. Addressing Impaired waters is a high
priority with the Division, and INSTREAM data
will continue to be evaluated" .
Unnamed tributary is defined as a little creek,
or seep,or spring,or bog,or wetland without
a name that begins life as surface water,
e.g. "stormwater". When it seeps into the ground
and later emerges, most times from places
other than entry, it makes up more than
60% of unnamed tributaries in the United States.
The Supreme Court has ruled that the
NAVAGATABLE water section of the CWA, must
show "A CONTINUOUS SURFACE CONNECTION TO
THOSE BODIES" in order for U.S. EPA to have
legal jurisdiction in matters to which they
assumed they had.
Since EPA uses delegated authority to the states
and legal experts recognize the mess
U.S EPA has made of the CWA along with the fact
that this ruling will certainly have an affect
on stormwater Discharge and Permitting, can you please
provide me with an update as to where NC DEMLR is
currently at with Stormwater Permitting considering
the actions of the Supreme Court last week.
Thanking you in advance for your response to
this matter, I remain,
Sincerely,
Dave Maddox

Description of Industrial Activity Occurring Onsite
Fortress Wood Product, Inc. is located in the southwest corner of Elizabeth City at 899 Foreman
Bundy Road and is identified by map on pages 50 and 51. Area topography is generally flat
which is common to the county. The surrounding area is generally farm land property. At the
time of a June 2011 inspection, the immediate area surrounding the facility was observed to be
planted in soy bean. Population within a'/z mile radius of the facility is less than 500 persons.
There are no schools, hospitals, nursing homes,or other institutional facilities within %2 mile of
the facility. The land at the facility slopes to the southeast.
The major activity at the plant is the treatment of lumber products. Untreated lumber is received
from vendors on trucks whereby it is unloaded and introduced into the treatment process where
each piece of wood is chemically treated to be resistant to fire and resistant to rot and decay.
Lumber remains on the treatment area drip-pad until the drippage of free liquid from the
treatment process is considered to have stopped. Once drippage has been determined stopped,the
treated lumber is removed to the stackers, dry kiln, storage yard, warehouses, or shipping area.
The treatment process is a closed loop full cycle system,in that,the process system reclaims and
recycles 100%of the drippage of treatment chemicals from the pads.
Currently, all chemicals used in the treatment process are stored inside the treatment process area
in totes, drums, and above ground storage tanks.The entire treatment area is covered by roof and
is built in such a manner whereby the treatment area would contain any catastrophic accident
which could cause the release of all the chemicals being stored.
Dedicated moving equipment is assigned to the treatment area to prevent the tracking of
treatment chemicals outside the covered treatment area.
The constant movement and storage of unprocessed and processed lumber does,during very dry
periods of time, causes the formation of fine dust on the surface of areas traversed. The
formation of fine dust is kept to a minimum by rotating storage strategies and on occasion,the
wetting of heavily traversed areas with water.
The potential pollutants which could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge at
each outfall would be TSS from the dust accumulated on the yard, traces of treatment chemicals,
COPPER and their natural reactive chemistry,resultant a storm event washing over the surface
of treated wood that has been staged on the yard awaiting shipment to customers, and COD and
BOD from the interaction of oxygen with suspended solids and treatment chemicals.
The above ground storage tank containing fuel for on-site vehicle operation resides on a covered
concrete pad that is diked in order to contain the contents of the tanks in the event of a spill.

Description of Industrial Activity Occurring Onsite
Page -2-
The handling of waste by the facility is dependent upon the characterization of the waste.
Normally,the majority of waste generated at the facility is considered to be non-hazardous and
is therefore placed into appropriate dumpsters strategically located throughout the facility. These
wastes are removed from the facility on an as need basis and delivered to local landfills by
contracted waste carriers.
All trash,wood splinters, liquids, and other objects removed from the treatment area are
currently considered by the facility to be hazardous in nature due to their contact with the drip-
pad. These articles are placed into hazardous waste satellite containers whereby they are
accumulated for subsequent transfer into hazardous waste drums which are dated, labeled as to
contents, and placed into secure storage awaiting removal from the premises by a licensed
hazardous waste carrier.
Due to vehicle maintenance being contracted off-site,there is little waste oil, lubricants,or
maintenance fluids with respect to vehicle maintenance.
Universal wastes are treated according to regulation and frequency of occurrence at the facility.
Chemicals Used by the Facility and Stored at the Facility
• Cleanwood 46+AF Mold Inhibit— No reportable compounds
• Clean Wood AC— Nitrate Compounds
• Sodium Nitrite
• Stabil CB— No reportable compounds
• MicroPro 200A— Copper Compounds

Best Management Practices
Best Management Practices
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 spill which occurs 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 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 manner to minimize stormwater
Outside storage of treated product 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 and recycled back into the treatment
Activity by-products process.

Short Narrative Describing Any Significant Changes at the
Permitted Facility
In an attempt to reduce the amount of air borne dust at the facility and surrounding yard areas,
Fortress Wood Products installed a pad of approximately 58,000 square feet consisting of paved
asphalt and poured concrete.This was done in an attempt to have a cleaner operational facility,
reduce the amount of air blown dirt getting onto the unfinished and finished product as well as
acting as a means to reduce the stormwater load on BOD,COD,and TSS resultant the constant
wind blowing and associated air borne dust lifted into the surrounding air and deposited at the
entire facility. Other than this pad installation,there have been no other significant changes
made at the permitted facility since the last permit was issued.
OBSERVATION 1: During calendar years 2021 and 2022,the facility expressed numerous
concerns to Environmental Solutions and Strategies, LLC, "ES'that
weather patterns in the area seemed abnormal and "weird",in that,they
were not experiencing significant rainfall events to conduct the necessary
semi-annual sampling, much less Tier 11 sampling. During this same period
of time,and currently continuing,the facility began experiencing a
significant change in surface winds at the facility.The increase in winds and
wind speeds began to have impacts at the facility, not only from the
airborne dust and particulate being transported on-property from off-
property but also from the gravel and dirt storage yards at the facility.The
lack of adequate rainfall to clear and clean off-site air as well as dampen
on-site yard areas began to cause significant quality issues for the product
being produced at the facility.As this situation escalated and product
quality continued to deteriorate, Fortress Wood Products went to great
expense,as stated above,to install an asphalt and concrete pad to mitigate
the issues of on-site as well as accumulating off-site airborne dust and
particulate and the subsequent impact being felt at the facility.

OBSERVATION 2: ES2 is the environmental consulting company used by Fortress Wood
Products. During the many trips to the facility over the years, ES2 has
noticed very profound changes to the Elizabeth City, North Carolina area.
The area has undergone significant physical changes over a recently short
period of time from an immense irrigated multi-agricultural landscape to
that of a barren landscape of turbine wind farms. On multiple trips, ES2 has
observed"dust storms", localized and wide spread, along with an unusual
dryness in the area,suspectedly due to the lack of vibrant irrigated
vegetation which once covered the entire landscaped area.Additionally, ES2
has also observed a gradual drying of the lowlands and swampy areas in the
community,suggesting a significant lack of moisture replenishment and/or
retention to the surrounding areas in and around the Elizabeth City area.
ESZ has no factual data to support this observation but the empirical data
suggests there could very well be a causal relationship to the deforestation
of the moist agricultural landscape and the introduction of massive turbine
wind farms.The use of turbine wind farms, especially at the scale seen in the
Elizabeth City area, is still an infancy science and technology.As with most
issues surrounding emerging technology,only time will be the arbitral as to
their relevance or potential hazards.Therefore, until factually proven
otherwise, OBSERVATION#2 must find its way into the conversation as a
possible mitigating facture with regard to the observed climatic changes at
the facility as well as in the surrounding area.

Inspection Date: 03/16/2023 Inspection Type:Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
Fortress Wood Products operates a lumber treatment facility(SIC 2491) located at 899 Foreman Bundy Rd near Elizbeth
City, NC. The faiclity has an existing individual federal sw permit[NCS000008] issued 01/01/2015 with an expiration date of
12/15/2014.A renewal application was submitted November 2019.
Site inspection conducted on 03/16/23; met with William Cox& Nancy Kerby(252)264-2466. SP3 plan, monitoring
activities and records all appear to be in good order; facility is well maintained. Historically, this facility has exceeded their
copper benckmark limit. Their facility is surrounded by extensive agricultural operations with drainage ditches that
contribute to their designated stormwater outfalls. It is reasonable to suspect that the offsite drainage may affect their SDO
sampling results; however, additional sampling efforts to support this premise by the industry are inconclusive. The facility
currently has (5)designated outfalls. After inspection of each outfall &the activities within each drainage basin, we
concluded that ROS was a reasonable approach for future monitoring. The facility will prepare/submit a request for ROS.
It is recommended that the permit be renewed &amended to include montly sampling.

Best Management Practices
,101*N 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 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.
Site-Specific BMPs Activity to mitigate pollution exposure
1. Fuel oil stored in closed tanks.
Exposure Minimization Practices 2. Fuel oil storage tanks cleaned as necessary.
Mitigation Practices 1. Fueling performed under supervision.
Sedimentation and Erosion Prevention 1. Drainage swales are grassed.
Practices 2. Sedimentation basin employed
