Section 1. Facility Activities and Process:
The International Paper Company New Bern Mill manufactures fluff pulp from pine timber. Per the June
2023 inspection report, this is a paper and wood products mill. Per the 2009 permit fact sheet, the
facility has been in operation since 1969 and produced approximately 1,000 tons per day of bleached
cellulose fiber used primarily for disposable paper products. The raw product is Southern Pine trees and
sawmill residual wood, which are processed by wood cellulose digestion,bleaching, washing, and
drying. The facility also has NPDES permit NC0003191 for their wastewater lagoon discharge.
Outfall SW001: Satellite Woodyard
Drainage area consists of a surplus log storage area. Potential pollutants include suspended solids, wood
chips, and bark.
Outfall SWO02: NCASI East
Drainage area consists of office buildings, parking lots, container truck storage, and employee activity
areas. Potential pollutants include suspended solids, motor oil, and O&G.
Outfall SWO03: NCASI West
Drainage area consists of office buildings, parking lots, container truck storage, and employee activity
areas. Potential pollutants include suspended solids, motor oil, and O&G.
Page 1 of 10

Outfall SW005: Timberlands Shop
Drainage area consists of a shop currently leased to a forestry support equipment company that stores
heavy equipment at the facility (no significant maintenance activities). Potential pollutants include
suspended solids, motor oil, and O&G.
Additional outfalls
Outfall SW004: Forestry Research
Drainage area consists of two (2) small office buildings and a parking lot. There is no industrial activity
in the drainage area. Potential pollutants include suspended solids and motor oil.
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:
• September 2015 to August 2022,benchmarks exceeded for:
o SW001: COD I
o SW005: COD Ix, pH min not reached 2x
o Monitoring data only provided for outfalls SW001, SW003, and SW005
• Per information in the permit file history, ROS was requested in April 2015 and may have been
approved in July 2015
o SW003 is representative of SW002; There is no stormwater associated with industrial
activity within the watershed boundaries of these outfalls.
o SW005 is representative of SW004; sampling not required at SW004 as there is no
industrial activity
• Per the June 2023 inspection report:
o As informed by the responsible party, all stormwater from the main plant site and
processing areas is routed to their existing wastewater pond. All the SW outfalls
inspected were outside the plant area.
Page 2 of 10

o Outfall 003 is the representative of outfall 002 and are collecting runoff from the same
basin located at the vehicle parking/storage area. Outfall 004 is not sampled.
Threatened/Endangered Species:
There are no threatened or endangered species at the points of discharge, however, in the immediate and
nearby vicinity, there are:
• Atlantic Sturgeon(Acipenser oxyrinchus oxyrinchus; NC status: E; Federal status: E)
• Grassleaf Arrowhead (Sagittaria weatherbiana; NC status: E)
• Neuse River Waterdog (Necturus lewisi; NC status: T; Federal status: T)
• Carolina Madtom (Noturus furiosus; NC status: E; Federal status: E)
• Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus;NC status: T; Federal Status: BGPA)
Additional species of concern at the point of discharge or in the nearby vicinity include:
• Regal Darner(Coryphaeschna ingens;NC status: SR)
• Phantom Darner(Triacanthagyna trifida; NC status: SR)
• Crowfoot Sedge (Carex crus-corvi;NC status: SR-P)
• Beadle's Coreopsis (Coreopsis palustris; NC status: SR-P)
Section 3. Proposed Monitoring for Stormwater Discharges:
The Division considered potential pollutants from past and present industrial activities and data was
submitted for September 2015 to August 2022. Quantitative sampling included pH, TSS, COD, total
nitrogen, and total phosphorus.
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 New Bern Mill 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
Page 4 of 10

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:
Parameter Benchmark Basis
Total Suspended 100 mg/L National Urban Runoff Program(NURP) Study, 1983
Solids TSS
H freshwater 6 s.u. —9 s.u. NC Water Quality Standard(Range)
H (saltwater) 6.8 s.u. — 8.5 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 (freshwater) 30 mg/L BPJ; Based on Secondary Treatment Regulation(40 CFR
133.03
COD (freshwater) 120 mg/L BPJ; Generally found at levels 4x BOD5 in domestic
wastewaters
Total Nitrogen 30 mg/L TKN +Nitrate +Nitrite Benchmarks (Expressed in mg/L of
freshwater N)
Total Phosphorus 2 mg/L BPJ; Based on wastewater permit limits for NSW waters
(freshwater)
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
Page 5 of 10

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
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
Page 6 of 10

• Boilerplate language moved into body of the permit; boilerplate no longer attached
• Monitoring for all outfalls has been separated to reflect industrial activity and potential pollutants
specific to each discharge area
• Monitoring for BOD has been added for SW001 based on materials kept in drainage area
• Monitoring for chromium, copper, lead, and zinc added for outfalls SW002, SW003, and SWO05
as metals are identified as a potential pollutant in the drainage areas
• Monitoring for total hardness added for outfalls SW002, SW003, and SWO05 as monitoring for
hardness dependent metals is required
• Benchmarks updated for parameters per guidance from DWR Standards group on stormwater
benchmarks
o Benchmarks removed for SWO01 for COD, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus as there
are no saltwater benchmarks for these parameters
o pH benchmark updated for saltwater discharge SW001
Section 5. Changes from draft to final:
• Footnote added to Table 1 regarding monitoring requirements upon industrial activities restarting
• Monitoring for chromium, copper, lead, zinc, and hardness removed from outfalls SW002,
SW003, and SWO05 as metals are not a pollutant of concern
Section 6. Discussions with the Facility and Regional Office:
• Initial contact with facility: 3/10/2023
• Initial contact with Regional Office: 3/13/2023
• Draft sent to CO peer review: 6/28/2023
• Draft sent to Regional Office: 9/13/2023
• Final permit sent for supervisor signature: 10/18/2023
Section 7. Comments received on draft permit:
• Maria Dunn (NCWRC; via email 9/13/2023): 1 have reviewed the NPDES permit referenced
above and have no comment. The changes made should not increase adverse impacts to wildlife
resources, and likely would improve monitoring of current allowances.
• Elena Sanders (International Paper; via email by Justin Meyer 10/12/2023):
Draft permit cover letter:
o Item 2 of the cover letter notes that units of measure for several benchmarks have been
changed from mg/L to µg/L. Please specify which benchmarks have been updated, as this
was not readily apparent during our permit review. It does appear that new benchmarks
for metals listed in the draft permit have units of µg/L.
■ DEMLR Response: This is standard language used in many permit cover letters.
The language was mistakenly kept in this draft permit.
o Item 9 notes that the TSS benchmark has been removed from Outfall SW001; however, a
TSS benchmark is still noted in Table 1 of the permit.
Page 7 of 10

■ DEMLR Response: TSS was mistakenly identified in the draft permit cover
letter as being removed. The TSS benchmark will remain for outfall SW00L
o Item 10 notes that chromium, copper, lead, and zinc benchmarks have been added for
SW002, SW003, and SW005. Please provide clarification as to what industrial activities
are driving the addition of these benchmarks.
■ DEMLR Response: Monitoring for chromium, copper, lead, zinc, and total
hardness were added for outfalls SW002, SW003, and SW005 as metals were
identified as being potential pollutants Stormwater Program's permit file history.
As these are not pollutants of concern in the drainage areas, this monitoring will
be removed for all outfalls.
o Representative outfall status (ROS) will be addressed with the Washington Regional
Office via a separate submission.
■ DEMLR Response: No response required.
Draft permit:
o C-2 Qualitative Monitoring Response (b): IP-New Bern requests that this requirement be
expanded to include electronic and hard copy records.
■ DEMLR Response: The storage mechanism of this requirement is up to the
permittee as long as the record is kept in the SWPPP.
o Table 1 rows:
■ Row 1: Please remove the TSS benchmark from this table for consistency with
Item 9 in the cover letter.
• DEMLR Response: TSS was mistakenly identified in the draft permit
cover letter as being removed. The TSS benchmark will remain for outfall
SW001.
■ Row 4: IP-New Bern requests that oil and grease and monthly oil usage
requirements be removed from this table, as no vehicle maintenance activities
(VMAs) occur in this drainage area.
• DEMLR Response: Non-Polar O&G and Estimated Average Monthly Oil
Usage are standard monitoring requirements of all individual industrial
permits and required for each drainage area with an outfall. The
requirements no longer apply to only areas with vehicle maintenance
activities.
■ Currently, no industrial activities take place in Outfall SW001 (surplus log storage
area). Logs have not been stored in this area since 2013, and the drainage area
currently consists of natural woods and brush. IP-New Bern does not believe that
quarterly monitoring of Outfall SW001 is warranted and proposes to discontinue
sampling of this outfall. If surplus log storage is resumed in this drainage area, IP
New Bern will notify DEMLR and resume monitoring as prescribed in its NPDES
stormwater permit.
• DEMLR Response: The monitoring table for outfall SW001 shall remain
in the permit as the potential for future activities exists in this drainage
area. However, based on the information provided, monitoring for the
outfall will be suspended until notification from International Paper that
industrial activities have restarted. A footnote has been added under
Table 1 with further guidance.
Page 8 of 10

o Table 2 rows:
■ Rows 4 and 5: IP-New Bern requests that oil and grease and monthly oil usage
requirements be removed from this table, as no vehicle maintenance activities
(VMAs) occur in these drainage areas.
• DEMLR Response: Non-Polar O&G and Estimated Average Monthly Oil
Usage are standard monitoring requirements of all individual industrial
permits and required for each drainage area with an outfall. The
requirements no longer apply to only areas with vehicle maintenance
activities.
■ Rows 9-12: IP-New Bern requests that metals and hardness testing be removed
from this table, as finished product container staging in the drainage areas for
SW002 and SW003 are unlikely to result in detections of chromium, copper, lead,
or zinc.
• DEMLR Response: Monitoring for chromium, copper, lead, zinc, and
total hardness were added for outfalls SW002 and SW003 as metals were
identified as being potential pollutants Stormwater Program's permit file
history. As these are not pollutants of concern in the drainage areas, this
monitoring will be removed for all outfalls.
■ IP-New Bern does not believe that the activities within the drainage basin for
Outfall SW005 meet the definition of stormwater discharges associated with
industrial activity. The fenced area in this basin that is leased to a forestry
company for heavy equipment parking is not"directly related to manufacturing,
processing or raw materials storage areas at an industrial plant." IP-New Bern
does not believe that quarterly monitoring of Outfall SW005 is warranted and
proposes to discontinue sampling of this outfall. If supporting operations/activities
resume in this drainage area, IP-New Bern will notify DEMLR and resume
monitoring as prescribed in its NPDES stormwater permit.
• DEMLR Response: As heavy equipment is stored in the drainage basin, a
pollutant exposure potential exists therefore monitoring is required.
However, as metals are not pollutants of concern in the drainage areas this
monitoring will be removed.
o D-5 Tier One Response: Single Benchmark Exceedance: IP-New Bern requests that
language be added to this condition specifying that an outfall enters Tier 1 Status by
exceeding a single benchmark parameter on one occasion.
■ DEMLR Response: This section is standard language used in all permits. Section
D-5. (a) states this requirement.
o D-6 Tier Two Response: Two Consecutive Benchmark Exceedances
■ (d): IP-New Bern requests that the first sentence of this requirement be reworded
as follows: "Two consecutive exceedances of a single benchmark parameter at a
single outfall shall constitute an event that requires a Tier Two response."
• DEMLR Response: This section is standard language used in all permits.
Section D-6. (a) states this requirement.
■ (d): IP-New Bern requests clarification as to the meaning of the last sentence in
this condition: "Subsequent events shall not include the same exceedances that
have been addressed in a Tier Two response."
• DEMLR Response: If there are additional exceedances for a benchmark
at an outfall, new Tier 11 responses need to be accounted for.
o Part F: Other Occurrences that Must be Reported
■ Please correct the spelling of"Occurrences" in the section heading.
Page 9 of 10

• DEMLR Response: The spelling has been corrected.
■ Table 6 is incorrectly labeled as Table 7.
• DEMLR Response: The reference has been corrected.
o H-6. Required Notice for Bypass or Upset: Table 7 is incorrectly labeled as Table 8.
■ DEMLR Response: The reference has been corrected.

Dear Ms. Young:
International Paper's New Bern Mill (IP-New Bern)appreciates the opportunity to review and
provide initial comments on the draft IVPDES.storrnwater permit for our.facility; which was
received electronically on:September 13, 2023. This submission should be considered timely
as it.is being submitted within 30 days.of receipt of the draft permit. Our comments are
outlined below.
Draft Perm Cover Letter
L Item 2 of the cover letter notes that units.of:rneasure.for several benchmarks.have been.
changed from mglL to.4g1L. Please specify which benchmarks have been updated, as
this was not readily apparent during our permit review. It does appear that.new
benchmarks for metals listed in the draft permit have units of µglL.
2. Item 9 notes that the TSS benchmark has been.rexnoved front Outfall SW001; however,
.a TSS benchmark is still noted in Table 1 of the permit.
3. Item 10 notes that chromium, copper, lead, and zinc benchmarks have been added for.
SW002, SWQ03, and SW005. Please provide clarification as to what industrial
activities are.driving the addition of these.benclunarks.
4. Representative outfall status(ROS)will be addressed with the Washington Regional
Office via.a separate submission.

Draft PermU
1. C-2 Qualitative Monitoring.Response.(b): IP-New Bern requests that this requirement.
be expanded to 'include electronic and hard copy.records.
2. Table 1 rows:
a. Row 1: Please.remove the TSS benchmark.from this,table for:consistency with.
Item 9 in.the cover letter.
b. Row 4: IP-New Bern requests that oil and grease and monthly oil usage.
requirements be removed from this table, as no vehicle maintenance activities.
(VMAs) occur in this drainage area.
C. Currently,no industrial activities take place in Dutfall. SWO01 (surplus.log storage
area). Logs have not.been stored in this area since 20"13; and the drainage area
currently consists of natural woods and:brush.. IP-New Bern does not believe that
quarterly monitoring of Dutfall SWOOl is warranted and proposes to discontinue
sampling of this outfall: If surplus log storage is resumed in.this drainage area, IP-
New Bern will notify DEMLR and resume monitoring as prescribed in its NPDES
stormwater permit.
3. Table 2 vows:
a. Rows 4 and.5. IP-New Bern requests that oil and grease and.monthly oil usage
requirements he removed from this table,.as no vehicle maintenance activities
(VMAs),occur in these:drainage areas.
b. Rows 9-12. IP-New.Bern requests that Metals and hardness testing be removed
from this table; as finished product container staging in the drainage areas for
SW0.02.and SW003.are unlikely to result in detections of chromium, copper,lead,
or zinc.
c. IP-New Bern does not believe that the activities within the drainage basin.for
Outfall SWO05 meet the definition of.stormwater..discharges:asso.ciated with
industrial activity. The fenced area in this basin that is leased to a:forestry company
for heavy equipment parking is not"directly related to manufacturing,processing or
rave materials.storage areas at an industrial plant. IP-New Bern does not believe
that quarterly monitoring of Outfall SWOO5 is warranted and proposes to
discontinue sampling.of this outfall. If supporting operations/activities resume in
this drainage area, IP-New Bern will notify-DEMLR and resume monitoring as
prescribed in its NPDES.storrnwater permit.
4. D-5 Tier One.Response. Single Benchmark
a. IP-New Bern requests that language be..added'to this condition specifying that an
outfall enters Tier 1 status by exceeding a single benchmark Parameter.on one
occasion.

5. D-b Tier Two Response: Two Consecutive Benchmark Exceedances
a. (d): IP-New Bern requests that the first sentence of this requirement be reworded
as follows: "Two consecutive exceedances of a single benchmark parameter at a
single outfall shall constitute an event that requires a Tier Two response."
b. (d): IP-New Bern requests clarification as to the meaning of the last sentence in this
condition: "Subsequent events shall not include the same exceedances that have
been addressed in a Tier Two response."
6. Part F.• Other Occurrences that Must be Reported

Summary of Current Best Management Practices:
Log Storage areas:
1) Diversion of stormwater around log storage areas with ditches,swales,and/or berms.
2) Log storage areas are located on stable,well drained soils with slopes of 0-2%.
3) togs are stacked high to minimize surface areas of materials exposed to precipitation.
4)Good housekeeping procedures such as frequent removal of debris.
5)Collection of runoffs diverted to containment basins and sedimentation ponds to provide maximum
infiltration.
Employee Vehicle,Container Parking and Truck Maintenance Areas:
1)Vehicles are kept clean to prevent the buildup of oil and grease
2)Timberlands Shop driveway and parking area has minimal slope to prevent high velocity stormwater
runoff, Ditches,swales,and berms are present to reduce runoff velocity and increase ground
infiltration 3) North employee parking area runoff is directed to a 1-acre retention pond to promote
infiltration and reduce solids transport
4) Container truck parking area border has a rock berm and a large wooded buffer area to prevent
solids transport to outfall
5) Al stormwater outfalls flow through vegetative ditches prior to discharge to the Neuse Rive or
to the Swift Creek.These ditches are inspected semi-annually for bank erosion and excessive vegetative
growth that interferes with channel flow are cut back.
Mill-wide-
1) Ditches,outfalls,and drainage areas are inspected semi-annually.
2)All employees receive annual refresher training regarding environmental responsibilities that overlaps
with the requirements of the SWPPP.
3) Employees with specific responsibilities related to spill prevention,spill cleanup,and maintenance of
the facility grounds attend annual SWPPP training.
4)All SPCC locations are inspected monthly.

Changes in Industrial Activities at the Facility:
There have been no other significant changes in industrial activities at the facility.

Inspection Summary:
Inspection was conducted on 06/13/2023. Met with Elena Sanders (email: [e-mail], T: 252-633-7229) anc
Justin Meyer, Environmental Engineer(email: [e-mail], T: 252-633-7206, M: 252-269-2365). This is paper
and wood products mill that changed hands with Weyerhouser in 2019-20.
As informed by the responsible party, all stormwater from the main plant site and prcessing areas is routed to their existing
wastewater pond. Therefore, plant area itself was not inspected. All the SW outfalls inspected were outside the plant area.
Following is the list outfalls :
Outfall # Receiving waters
----------------------------
001 Swift Creek
002 Neuse River
003 Neuse River
004 Swamp to Neuse River
005 Wetland to Neuse River
Outfall 003 is the representative of outfall 002 and are collecting runoff from the same basin located at the vehicle parking/
storage area. Outfall 004 is not sampled. This facility has been sending paper DMRs to the wrong agency (DWR in Raleigh)
and were advised to send it to WARD. Also, site has been sending eDMRs but may have been uploading at the wrong portal
and were advised to make necessary corrections.
It is recommended that the permit NCS000211 may be renewed.

Summary of Current Best Management Practices:
Log Storage areas:
1) Diversion of stormwater around log storage areas with ditches,swales, and/or berms.
2) Log storage areas are located on stable,well drained soils with slopes of 0-2%.
3) Logs are stacked high to minimize surface areas of materials exposed to precipitation.
4) Good housekeeping procedures such as frequent removal of debris.
5) Collection of runoffs diverted to containment basins and sedimentation ponds to provide maximum
infiltration.
Employee Vehicle, Container Parking and Truck Maintenance Areas:
1)Vehicles are kept clean to prevent the buildup of oil and grease
2)Timberlands Shop driveway and parking area has minimal slope to prevent high velocity stormwater
runoff. Ditches,swales,and berms are present to reduce runoff velocity and increase ground
infiltration 3) North employee parking area runoff is directed to a 1-acre retention pond to promote
infiltration and reduce solids transport
4) Container truck parking area border has a rock berm and a large wooded buffer area to prevent
solids transport to outfall
5) All Stormwater outfalls flow through vegetative ditches prior to discharge to the Neuse Rive or
to the Swift Creek.These ditches are inspected semi-annually for bank erosion and excessive vegetative
growth that interferes with channel flow are cut back.
Mill-wide:
1) Ditches, outfalls,and drainage areas are inspected semi-annually.
2)All employees receive annual refresher training regarding environmental responsibilities that overlaps
with the requirements of the SWPPP.
3) Employees with specific responsibilities related to spill prevention, spill cleanup, and maintenance of
the facility grounds attend annual SWPPP training.
4)All SPCC locations are inspected monthly.

Changes in Industrial Activities at the Facility:
There have been no other significant changes in industrial activities at the facility.
