Section 1. Facility Activities and Process:
Culpeper of Ramseur, LLC is a wood preservation facility. Lumber is treated using a copper based
(micronized) amine formula. The facility previously used chromated copper arsenate (CCA; ceased in
2003) and copper azole (ceased in 2008). All freshly treated lumber is kept under cover on a drip pad
until drippage has ceased. Water accumulated inside containment areas is used back in the process and
all chemicals used in the treatment process are kept inside containment areas. Storage sheds store as
much of the treated lumber as possible (around 75%), and any remaining lumber is kept on the yard until
sold. Chemicals used onsite include micronized copper, diesel fuel, gasoline, motor oil, and hydraulic
oil. Oil-contaminated water is shipped for recycling or the oil removed prior to releasing.
The facility previously had two (2) outfalls, however,per the 2018 inspection report, the outfall near the
office was removed following new grading and would flow to the existing outfall.
Outfall SW001:
Drainage area consists of untreated and treated lumber storage areas, treating plant, six(6) storage sheds,
maintenance building, fuel storage,propane, kiln, and two (2) stackers. Hazardous waste is stored at the
treating plant and oils are stored in the maintenance shop.
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
Page 1 of 6

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 3. Proposed Monitoring for Stormwater Discharges:
The Division considered potential pollutants from past and present industrial activities and data was
submitted for April 2017 to July 2022. Quantitative sampling included pH, TSS, copper, COD, BOD,
and hardness.
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 Culpeper Ramseur 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
Page 3 of 6

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:
Parameter Benchmark Basis
Total Suspended 100 mg/L National Urban Runoff Program(NURP) Study, 1983
Solids TSS
H 6 s.u. —9 s.u. NC Water Quality Standard(Range)
Non-Polar Oil & Review of other state's daily maximum benchmark
Grease 15 mg/L concentration for this more targeted O&G;NC WQS that
EPA Method 1664 does not allow oil sheen in waters
SGT-HEM
BOD 30 mg/L BPJ; Based on Secondary Treatment Regulation(40 CFR
133.03
COD 120 mg/L BPJ; Generally found at levels 4x BOD5 in domestic
wastewaters
Copper Total 10 /L Acute Aquatic Criterion, '/2 FAV
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.
Page 4 of 6

• 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
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 been implemented to reflect industrial activity and potential
pollutants specific to each discharge area
• Monitoring for BOD and COD added for SW001
o Monitoring was removed in the previous permit as all values were below benchmark
o Monitoring being added back as BOD and COD are useful parameters for indicating
issues with discharge for this type of industry
• Monitoring for total hardness added for outfalls where 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

species that occur over 1.5 miles from the Culpeper of Ramseur outfall: federal and state
endangered Cape Fear shiner(Notropis mekistocholas), state endangered yellow lampmussel

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES
There have been no significant changes to our process or chemicals.
BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
The purpose of the SWPPP is to identify potential sources of pollution or contamination that originate at
this facility,and to select and implement actions which prevent or minimize the release of pollutants
into the storm water. The storm water management controls included in the SWPPP focus on providing
adequate control of pollutant discharges with practical approaches that utilize readily available
techniques, expertise, material and equipment.
The SWPPP is intended to be a flexible, active operations plan to allow incorporation of changes and
management practices. As the plan is implemented and methods to improve the plan are found, or as
regulations change, revisions to the plan must be made. Revisions to the plan must be approved by
management and recorded in all copies of the plan in order to meet the requirements of the storm
water permit.
This is a wood preservation facility. Untreated lumber is brought on site for treatment using a copper
based (micronized)amine formula. All chemicals used in the treatment process are kept inside
containment areas. Waters accumulated inside these containment areas are used back in the process.
All freshly treated lumber is kept under cover, on a RCRA Subpart W drip pad until drippage has ceased.
There are several storage sheds where we store as much of the treated lumber as possible. Any
remaining lumber is kept on the yard until sold.
Forklifts and other vehicles are regularly inspected and maintained by an outside contractor. All
maintenance work is done under cover, if possible. Now work is performed outdoors during a rain
event. Any oil or chemicals used at the maintenance department are kept inside the maintenance
building or under cover. All bulk oil tanks have secondary containment along with drip pans under the
nozzles. Any water accumulated within this containment, if contaminated with oil, is shipped for
recycling or the oil removed prior to releasing.
At this time, based upon a review of our current procedures for reducing or eliminating exposure of
materials to storm water,we have determined that it is not economically feasible to modify our
program. We have our maintenance area inside a building, all oil tanks under cover and in secondary
containment, all chemicals in secondary containment or under cover and numerous sheds to store
treated lumber in. The lumber stored outdoors is dry,stacked to minimize exposure and inventory
controlled to reduce potential exposure to a rain event. Housekeeping procedures are in place to
regularly remove debris in the yard and inspect around our maintenance and treating plant for chemical
contamination.
BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES—MEASURES AND CONTROLS
The results of a site assessment indicate that controls are either in place or need to be added to
minimize contaminant releases to storm water runoff. Housekeeping is one area that can be readily
controlled to limit the discharge of wood debris and minimize the generation of dust.

Best Management Practices (BMPs)as well as other controls are used to reduce potential contaminant
releases. Some of our controls areas simple as ensuring that we maintain vegetation, such as grass on
slopes to prevent soil erosion and keeping outfall areas clean and free of debris.
All chemical bulk storage tanks are within secondary containment. None of our secondary containment
structures have any type of drainage system. Only personnel placing a pump into the diesel and
gasoline containment area can remove liquid. This method prevents any release of oil from our
containment system due to rain. Our chemical storage containment areas that are not located inside a
building have automatic pumps that will pick up liquid and place it into a bulk storage tank located
within a containment area. This liquid is then used in our treating processes.
Most hose connections at the tanks for bulk loading or unloading are inside the bulk storage
containment area. Any tank or hose connections outside the contained area have buckets underneath
to catch drips and minor leaks. A qualified employee with access to the proper safety equipment
approves the hook up to our tank prior to unloading and monitors the loading and unloading process.
All non-bulk containers,such as drums, are stored either indoors or within a contained area.
Finished lumber products are stored under sheds or in the yard until shipment. The trucks are loaded
over asphalt areas. Prior to storing any treated lumber outdoors,verification that there is no drippage
has been documented (see drip pad logs).
The drip pad is under roof and bermed/sloped to prevent any release. Any liquid generated from
drippage or a rain event flows to a sump and then is automatically picked up and place into an effluent
tank. Visual, as well as some documented Inspections are regularly performed on the drip pad and
maintenance,such as sealing or cracks and coating replacement, is performed as needed.
All cutting of lumber on site is performed under roof. The sawdust and particles are then loaded into a
drum or onto the dump truck. The truck is kept under roof unless loading.
Various types of equipment associated with this wood preserving facility include but are not limited to
pressure retorts, mechanical pumps,fueling trucks, maintenance equipment,freight transfer vehicles,
construction equipment and fork lifts.
Trucks,trailers,and forklifts are cleaned in an enclosed, roofed area designed for this purpose. The
water is reclaimed through an oil water separator.
It is recognized that maintenance of vehicles can be a significant source of storm water pollutants.
Materials associated with vehicle maintenance include waste oil,solvents and other degreasers, brake
fluid, anti-freeze, battery acids, radiator flush, and sludge. The following vehicle maintenance practices
are utilized:
- Maintenance is completed in an enclosed area protected from runoff and precipitation
whenever possible. If maintenance has to be performed outside of the enclosed area, all
possible means are used to prevent spillage and approved cleaning methods (oil dry, etc)
are used if any spillage occurs.
- All used products are properly stored until they are sent for recycling or disposal.
- Batteries, used tired,and used solvents are collected and recycled through the appropriate
vendors(Typically batteries are recycled immediately,so there is minimal to no storage).

A feasibility review to determine if there is a way to modify or change our operating procedures or
install controls to further reduce chemical exposure indicates the following:
o Bulk Chemical containment(Including Diesel)—All bulk chemicals are currently stored in
secondary containment systems and some are under roof. We do not have any secondary
containment systems that can release without manual pumping.
o Non-bulk chemical containment—All non-bulk chemicals are currently stored in secondary
containment areas or under roof.
o Particulate containment—Generation of sawdust is currently performed under roof in the saw
area. There is a general cleanup performed after the cutting is complete.
o Diesel/Gasoline storage—The diesel/gasoline tanks used to fuel the lifts and trucks are located
within a secondary containment system that cannot release without manual pumping. Filling
the tank and fueling procedures are performed just outside the containment area, but under
roof. Maintenance personnel or supervisors are the only employees that fuel the lifts.
o Treated wood storage—Treated lumber is stored in sheds or outdoors. Prior to placing the
treated lumber outdoors,the material is documented that all drippage has ceased. This
procedure should ensure that there is minimal release of chemicals during a rain event from the
treated lumber. The lumber is also not placed directly on the ground, but stored 2-6" above to
prevent contact.
o Chemical unloading—Chemical unloading is performed on paved areas. Most hose connections
at the tanks for bulk loading or unloading are inside the bulk storage containment area. Any
tank or hose connections outside the contained area have buckets underneath to catch drips
and minor leaks. A qualified employee with access to the proper safety equipment approves the
hook up to our tank prior to unloading and monitors the loading and unloading process. In the
future, as monies permit,we will review the installation of containment areas for the bulk
chemical trucks to be located during unloading.
To ensure that the BMPs and other controls are in use and working, employees are taught about
controls in use and periodic inspections are performed.
The measures currently in use or to be implemented at our facility to control contaminant releases are
found under section 4.a.
