A review of our records show that your facility located on HWY 17N, at the Pender and Onslow County line Holly
Ridge, North Carolina is operating without a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit for
coverage under General Permit NCG210000 for STORMWATER DISCHARGES associated with activities
classified as: SIC (Standard Industrial Classification) 24 Lumber .11d wood products. Coverage under this
general permit is applicable to all owners or operators of stormwater point source discharges associated with
activities classified as establishments primaril, engaged in operating wood processing facilities
Process for applying for a General Stormwater Permit:
You are required to apply for the NPDES Permit by filling out and mailing a Notice of Intent (NOI) form to the
Stormwater Permitting Unit, Division of Water Quality at 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 The

Technical Bulletin for General Stormwater Permit NCG210000
Technical Bulletin for NCG210000, Volume V Revised 8/1/2013
What activities are covered by this general permit?
NCG210000 allows stormwater discharges associated with establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing
Timber Products [standard industrial classification (SIC) 24] and activities deemed by DEMLR to be similar in
the process and/or the exposure of raw materials, products, by-products, or waste materials. In 2011, the general
permit was modified to cover discharges from Wood Chip Mills, which were previously excluded.
Excluded: Wood Kitchen Cabinets [SIC 2434], Wood Preserving [SIC 2491], and Logging [SIC 2411].
What are the key permit requirements?
> Implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) (Part II, Section A)
> Provide secondary containment for all bulk storage of liquid materials (Part II, Section A, 2.(b))
> Perform and document qualitative monitoring during a measurable storm event (Part II, Section C).
> Perform analytical monitoring twice per year if storing exposed accumulations of sawdust, wood chips, bark,
mulch, or like materials on site for more than seven (7) days, and submit the results on the monitoring report
forms provided with the permit (Part II, Section B).
What has changed since the last renewal?
Some of the mayor changes since the last renewal include:
> Refinements and clarifications to the SPPP requirements; refer to Part II, Section A.
> Provisions to allow permittees to petition the DEMLR Regional Office Supervisor for relief from monitoring.
> It should be easier for monitoring to take place during a measurable storm event (new term) rather than a
representative storm event (old term); refer to Part II, Section B.
> The requirement for twice per year monitoring of pH has been eliminated; refer to Part II, Section B
> The TSS benchmark has been lowered to 50 mg/L for discharges into some especially sensitive waters, refer to
Part II, Section B.
> The tiered response structure has been modified to allow the DEMLR Regional Office Supervisor to grant
relief from Tier Two monthly monitoring; refer to Part II, Section B.
What are BMPs and why are they important?
The SPPP should include "Best Management Practices" (BMPs) to control discharge of pollutants from a facility's
stormwater outfalls. BMPs include a variety of things that help minimize the potential for pollutants to get into
the stormwater draining from a facility. There are different types of BMPs:
Non-structural (practices or activities) BMPs include:
> Eliminating exposure of materials and equipment wherever possible by moving them to indoor locations.
> Practicing good housekeeping on-site. Handle and store materials at the facility in an orderly fashion.
> Exchanging hazardous materials for non -hazardous ones wherever possible.
> Establishing routine leak & maintenance checks to minimize chance of spills. Clean up spills immediately.
> Establishing bulk storage tank protocols that minimize the risk of spills during loading and unloading.
> Store used pallets and process waste dumpsters inside or under roof so water can't flow on or around them.
Structural (equipment or devices) BMPs include:
> Containment dikes around the loading areas of bulk liquid storage containers.
> Changing painting operations from liquid systems to powdered systems that do not generate solvent waste
> Roofs and secondary containment around materials stored outside so that stormwater cannot contact them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Could I be exempted from an
NPDES stormwater permit?
Possibly. A facility with industrial
activity subject to the NPDES
Stormwater regulations that elimi-
nates all potential stormwater expo-
sure may be eligible for a No Expo-
sure Exclusion from a permit. A
facility that meets this condition
may submit a No Exposure Certifi-
cation application (see our website
below)
What if I sell my business, or the
name changes?
This change is a minor modification
and requires the Director's action to
transfer permit coverage. Complete
the Name/Ownership Change Form
SWU-239, is available on our web-
site:
http://Dortal.ncdenr.org/web/lr/npdes
-stormwater
Do 1 have to monitor all the
outfalls?
Yes However, you may request
Representative Outfall Status
(ROS). If approved, this status al-
lows analytical monitoring at fewer
outfalls. To request ROS, submit a
ROS Request Form SWU-ROS to the
DEMLR Regional Office The form
is available on our website (see
above)

Does a certified lab need to
analyze my samples?
Monitoring under all NPDES per-
mits must be conducted in accor-
dance with test procedures ap-
proved under federal regulations in
40 CFR § 136. Labs certified by
North Carolina perform analysis in
accordance with those procedures
N.C. certification requirements do
not apply to stormwater only dis-
charges, but data gathered under
an NPDES permit must conform to
federal requirements Using a cer-
tified lab is one way to ensure com-
pliance. A list of certified labs is
available at. http://
portal ncdenr.org/web/wQ/lab/cert/
How big of a pile triggers
monitoring?
The permittee must perform ana-
lytical monitoring if the facility
stores exposed accumulations of
sawdust, wood chips, bark, mulch,
or similar materials for longer than
seven (7) days. The permit does
not specify a size threshold because
a large area covered in "small
mounds" could impact stormwater
as much as one large pile If rea-
sonable judgment tells you there
are piles on site, monitoring is re-
quired unless that material is re-
moved within a week Also, remov-
ing only the top portion of piles and
leaving significant amounts of the
material on the bottom does not
satisfy the monitoring exemption.
Furthermore, in some cases
NCDENR may determine leachate
from such piles is a wastewater.
The facility should prevent dis-
charge of pile leachate as much as
possible
Do I have to keep a record of
every little piece of sawdust to
prove I don't have to monitor?
No. However, if the facility "opts
out" of analytical monitoring be-
cause it removes piles within a
week's time, DWQ expects the facil-
ity to keep a record of when the ma-
terial was generated, and when and
how it was removed to demonstrate
short periods of storage.
If I'm sampling my discharge, do
do qualitative monitoring at
the same time?
Yes
Who can 1 call with questions?
Please contact Stormwater Permit-
ting Program staff at the office near-
est your location. Help is also avail-
able from the NCDENR's Division of
Environmental Assistance and Cus-
tomer Service at 1-877-623-6748.
