Dear Mr. Wanek:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
Subject: Permit No. WQ0000961
R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company
Davie County Storage Facility
Wastewater Irrigation System
Forsyth County
In accordance with your permit modification request received June 20, 2012, we are forwarding
herewith Permit No. WQ0000961, dated August 16, 2012, to Ashley Furniture Industries, Inc. for the
continued operation of the subject wastewater treatment and surface irrigation facilities. -
The subject permit has been modified to reflect a change of ownership from RJ Reynolds
Tobacco Company to Ashley Furniture Industries, Inc. Please note that on August 5, 2009, Session Law
2009-406, entitled "An Act to Extend Certain Government Approvals Affecting the Development of Real
Property Within the State," was enacted by the General Assembly and signed into law. The Act, known as
the Permit Extension Act of 2009, extends the expiration date of certain government approvals and
permits. On August 2, 2010, this Act was extended an additional year as Session Law 2010-177. The
subject permit falls within the scope of this Act and is therefore being extended to August 31, 2017.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until August 31, 2017, shall void Permit
No. WQ0000961 issued July 15, 2009, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified
therein. Please pay particular attention to the monitoring requirements in this permit. Failure to establish
an adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required operational information will result in
future compliance problems.

Within twelve months of permit issuance, the permit requires a lagoon closure plan to be
submitted for closure of the effluent holding lagoon near the southern parcel boundary. The closure plan
is required to include a schedule for attaining closure within 12 months of connecting to the county sewer
system. A pump and haul permit must be obtained within three months of permit issuance from the
Winston-Salem Regional Office to handle the wastewater in the event of a system failure before the sewer
system is connected.
Within eighteen (18) months of permit issuance, unless the facility is connected to the sewer
system as proposed within the next 12 months, the facility will be required to demonstrate that the
existing 3-acre irrigation field will adequately assimilate the wastewater associated with the 10,000 gpd
design flow.
Please note that the 24-acre irrigation field has been removed from the permit, and that semi-
annual groundwater sampling is now required at monitor wells MW-1 and MW-4. Please also note the
setback distances described under Permit Condition II.10. It is the Division's understanding that all of
these setbacks have already been met, If there appears to be a conflict, please contact the Aquifer
Protection Section.
Please also note that since the last permit issuance, the Division has instituted a new
monitoring policy for all non -discharge systems and created a new permit shell. Please pay careful
attention to the monitoring frequencies and parameters listed in Attachment A, as they may differ
from the requirements and frequencies in the last permit issuance
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the
right to request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of
this permit. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150E of the
North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service
Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-6714. Unless such demands are made this permit shall be final and binding.
If you need additional information concerning this matter, please contact David Goodrich at (919) 807-
6352 or david.goodrich@ncdenr.gov.
Sincerely,
Zor�Iesakild,P.E.

of pH shall be made after purging and prior to sampling for the remaining parameters.
3. The measuring points (top of well casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed to provide the relative elevation of the measuring point for each monitoring well. The measuring points (top
of casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed relative to a common datum.
4. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) - In November only, analyze by one of the following methods:
a. Standard Method 6230D, PQL at 0.5 µg/L or less
b. Standard Method 6210D, PQL at 0.5 µg/L or Tess
c. EPA Method 8021, Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 iug/L or less
d. EPA Method 8260, Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 µg/L or less
c. Another method with prior approval by the Aquifer Protection Section Chief
Any method used must meet the following qualifications:
a. A laboratory must be DWQ certified to run any method used.
b. The method used must, at a minimum; include all the constituents listed in Table V1I1 of Standard Method 6230D.
c. The method used must provide a PQL of 0.5 µg/L or less that must be supported by laboratory proficiency studies as required by the DWQ Laboratory Certification Unit. Any constituents
detected above the MDL but below the PQL of 0.5 gg/L must be qualified (estimated) and reported.
5. If any volatile organic compounds (VOC) are detected as a result of monitoring as provided in Attachment C, then the Winston-Salem Regional Office Aquifer Protection Supervisor, telephone
number (336) 771-5000, must be contacted immediately for further instructions regarding any additional follow-up analyses required_

6. If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/l are detected in any downgradient monitoring well, additional sampling and analysis must be conducted to identify the individual constituents
comprising this TOC concentration, If the TOC concentration as measured in the background monitor well exceeds I0 mg/1, this concentration will be taken to represent the naturally occurring
TOC concentration. Any exceedances of this naturally occurring TOC concentration in the downgradient wells shall be subject to the additional sampling and analysis as described above.
