permit: NCS000374 Owner - Facility: Lumberton Cellulose LLC
Inspection Date: 07/12/2018 inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
Compliance inspection conducted as part of the individual permit renewal process. Met with Grant Oxendine, Environmental,
Health & Safety Manager, Discussed plant operations/industrial activities both past and present. A portion of the facility
used to function as a pulp mill, which; required coverage under an individual stormwater permit_ According to Mr. Oxendine,
the pulp mill operations ended in 2003. Currently, the facility receives by-product cotton fiber from other facilities, cleans and
bleaches the cotton, then returns the cotton in wrapped bales back to the customer. Caustic and hydrogen peroxide
solutions are used in the bleaching process, which is all conducted indoors.
Mr. Oxendine relayed information about a leak from the facility's underground piping associated with their AST for #2 fuel oil,
which can be used in their boiler as a backup heat source. The leak was discovered on March 29, 2018 and reported to staff
with the UST Section. Per Mr. Oxendine, approximately 2,900 gallons total was estimated to leak out with some of the
product getting into the perimeter drainage ditch, but none leaving the property. An environmental cleanup contractor was
notified and hired to respond and conduct assessment and recovery, which is being finalized.
Facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) is very detailed and well organized containing all permit -required
components. The SPPP is reviewed and updated annually as required and contains various forms for documenting employee
training, non-Stormwater certification, spills, etc. Facility has identified and conducted monitoring for nine outfalls. Monitoring
records from 2013 to 2017 were reviewed. Several exceedances of the benchmark value for TSS at outfalls 2, 6 and 7 and a
few for pH primarily at outfall 2 from 2011 to 2014 were noted, however records from 2016 and 2017 showed no
exceedances.
After the records review, toured the plant site and operations. Made observations of the area where the #2 fuel oil leak
occurred, secondary containment areas, stormwater discharge outfalls and associated drainage areas. Majority of the
drainage areas consist solely of roof runoff and areas with no industrial activities. Exposure of products/materials to
stormwater consists of two open top dumpsters, one for scrap metal and the other for waste cotton, some used pallets,
some metal ductwork and empty totes all of which are within the drainage area to outfall 2.
Although previous versions of the individual permit contained information designating representative outfalls, the
current/expired permit does not. Discussed with Mr. Oxendine the current process for requesting and documenting
representative outfall status and provided him with a copy of the Representative Outfall Status (ROS) Request Form. Also
discussed the possibility of the facility being covered under a general permit instead of the individual permit as well as
actions that could be taken for the facility to qualify for the No Exposure Certification. Based on the facility ceasing the pulp
mill operations and its current industrial activity of processing cotton fiber along with the most recent monitoring results and
limited exposure risks, inspector feels that coverage under Stormwater General Permit NCGO50000 would be appropriate. A
copy of the NOI for obtaining coverage under the NCGO50000 permit as well as a copy of the Rescission Request Form to
rescind the individual permit will be sent along with the compliance inspection report.

Attention: Mr. Brad Cole, Regional Supervisor
RE: Buckeye Lumberton Inc. -- Permit No. NCS000374
Corrective Measures Planned To Address Previously Reported Exceedance of TSS
Benchmark Value
Dear Mr. Cole:
J U N 6 2014
On April 24, 2014, the Buckeye Lumberton Inc. Mill in Lumberton, North Carolina, reported
total suspended solids (TSS) benchmark exceedances for Outfalls No. 6 and No. 7. To remain- a
below the TSS benchmark value going forward, the Mill made a commitment to implement
structural improvements to the stormwater management system and additional best
management practices, based on the recommendations from our corporate stormwater subject
matter expert. The Mill also made a committed to an evaluation of the sample collection
locations associated with Outfalls No. 6 and 7 to ensure they are consistent with our Storm
Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP).
A list of the structural improvements and additional best management practices being
undertaken at the Mill is attached. The Mill has already begun to implement these
improvements and plans are to complete them by July 31, 2014. These improvements should
allow us to maintain TSS discharge results below the benchmark value.
Also, the Mill has determined that it is more appropriate to begin coiiecting storm water
samples for Outfalls No. 6 and 7 closer to the actual outfall points. This change in sampling
location will better represent the storm water distributions presented in the SWPPP. The Mill
has already started using these new sampling points.

W;A
If you have any questions or comments regarding this correspondence, or if additional
information is needed, please contact me at [phone].
Sincerely,
Chuck Oxendine
General Manager

Lumberton Plant Stormwater Management System Improvement Plan
to Reduce TSS Discharges from Outfalls 6, and 7
Structural Improvements:
1. Install curbing around storm drains associated with Outfalls 6, and 7 to reduce runoff
velocity which would allow particulate to settle out before entering the storm drain
system,
2. Install and maintain filters in storm drains associated with Outfalls 6, and 7 to capture
particulate that would get past the curbing,
3. In the triangular area just north of the storm drain associated with Outfall 7: eliminate
parking in this area, vegetate the area, and install physical barrier(s) to prevent vehicle
traffic from encroaching on this area,
uuN 6 2014
Best Management Practices Improvements:
1. Clean and maintain the lines and the catch basins in the storm drain systems associated
with Outfalls 6, and 7 to remove accumulated sediment, and
2. Conduct visual inspections of all storm drain systems and associated outfalls on a
monthly basis.

Previous Discrepancies in Response to TSS Benchmark Exceedances and
Notification of Four Occasions of Exceedance of TSS Benchmark Value
Dear Mr. Cole: APR 2 5 2014
As you are probably'aware, the Buckeye Lumbei-fon Inc: facility'in 6m6erton,.North Carolina_,
was recently pur'6ased by Georgia-Pacific LLC'(GPJ: As part"of the acquisition and'transition
process, a thorough -review of all p&m'its-held by the facility was'conducted in conjunction with
the implementation of GP's compliance systems. Based on the review of the existing NPDES
stormwater permit and historic sampling data, which was conducted last week, GP discovered
previous omissions in responses to total suspended solids (TSS) benchmark exceedances for
Outfalls No. 6 and No. 7. Upon discovery of these omissions the Lumberton Mill immediately
implemented the required responses to the exceedances. In addition, a GP corporate subject
matter expert has conducted a thorough assessment of potential stormwater management
system vulnerabilities and will be working with the Mill to implement structural improvements
and additional best management practices that should significantly improve TSS performance.
With regard to Outfall No. 6, the results from the second half sampling event in 2011 triggered
the need to initiate Tier Two monitoring requirements. Also, the results from the first half
sampling event in 2012 triggered the requirement to notify the Division of Energy, Minerals,
and Land Resources (DEMLR) Regional Office Supervisor that a benchmark value was exceeded
at a specific outfall on four occasions. These additional requirements were not implemented in
a timely manner.
With regard to Outfall No. 7, the results fromY'the secondhalf sampling event" in '2D12 triggered
the need to initiate Tier Two monitoring -requirements and the-firsi_half'samIpling'event in' 2013
triggered the'requirement to notify the DEMLR AR gional Office Supervisorthat a benchmark

value was exceeded at a specific outfall on four occasions. These requirements were not
implemented in a timely manner.
As indicated above, the Lumberton Mill has initiated the Tier Two monitoring: requirements for
Outfalls No. 6 and 7, and we will be sampling these Outfalls for all required parameters monthly
as required. Also, through this letter, we are hereby providing the requisite notification of four
occasions of exceeding the TSS benchmark value during the term of the permit for Outfalls No.
6 and No. 7. To consistently remain below the TSS benchmark value going forward, the Mill will
be implementing structural improvements to the stormwater management system and
additional best management practices, based on the recommendations from our corporate
stormwater subject matter expert. Additionally, as part of the review of the stormwater system
and permit, we are also evaluating the sample collection locations associated with Outfalls No.
6 and 7 to ensure consistency with our SWPPP. Once the mill develops the final list of
stormwater management system improvements and any necessary changes to sampling
locations, we will communicate our plans to your office.
The Lumberton Mill takes its compliance obligations seriously and hopes that the NCDENR
views this letter as supportive of that position. If you have any questions or comments
regarding this correspondence, or if additional information is needed, please contact me at
[phone].

Dear Ms. Henson,
This letter is in reference to the NOV received by Buckeye dated October 3,
2007.
The report by Mr. Allen notes two deficiencies found during his 9-26-07
inspection. As for the qualitative monitoring report' for the fall of 2006, it
appears that we missed the sampling event altogether. We are aware that sampling
is required semi-annually and we have submitted reports on that basis in the
past. However, we have undergone some changes in our staffing group recently and
this missed sampling event was more than likely a result of those changes. I
have personally taken charge of the environmental area once again for the site
so we do not see any issues with complying with permit requirements going
forward.
As for the second issue, it was an oversight on our par that we weren't
performing qualitative monitoring for the number 1 and 5 outfalls. It was our
understanding that we were only to address the outfalls that we were actually
sampling (2,4,6,7 & 8). Mr. Allen has cleared this up fo,r us so we will add
outfalls 1 and 5 to our reporting for qualitative monitoring going forward.
Please let me know if have any questions.

ADDENDUM
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program was established under the
federal Clean Water Act and then delegated to the Division of Water Quality for implementation in
North Carolina. The NPDES permitting program for stormwater discharges was established in 1990.
Phase I focuses on site and operations planning to reduce pollutant sources.
Through the NPDES permitting program industrial facilities that fall into one of the subject ten
categories are required to obtain permit coverage under a general permit or an individual permit,
depending upon the facilities SIC code and the industrial activity occurring at the facility. There are
currently 19 active general stormwater permits in North Carolina. One condition that is applicable to
both the general permits and individual stormwater permits is the requirement to develop and implement
site -specific comprehensive stormwater pollution prevention plans (SPPP). These plans are required to
include a comprehensive evaluation of the site and operations to reduce pollutant sources and prevent
pollutant discharge.
Copies of the general permits and accompanying documents can be accessed from the following
webpage: http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/Forms Documents.htm Permit text, technical bulletins, discharge
monitoring forms, and a Notice of Intent [which is the application of for coverage under a NPDES
General Stormwater Permit] can be found at this, web site.
The following items are a subset of permit requirements and are listed to assist you and help bring your
attention to certain permitting issues, process and condition requirements of your permit. That said;
please see the above -mentioned web site in order to obtain a copy of the permit such that you may fully
comply with all the conditions therein. Failures to properly comply with conditions of the permit,
like those bulleted below, constitutes violations and are subject to a civil penalty assessment of up
to $25,000.00 per day, per violation.
• Industrial facilities that fall into one of the subject ten categories are required to obtain permit
coverage under a general NPDES stormwater permit or an individual NPDES stormwater permit
• All persons desiring to have facilities covered by a General Permit must register with the
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) by the filing of a Notice of Intent (NOI) and Applicable Fees.
• This Notice of Intent (NOI) must be submitted and a Certificate of Coverage issued prior to any
discharge of stormwater associated with the industrial activity, process wastewater, and/or mine
dewatering.
• Once the Notice of Intent is received, DWQ will review and determine whether a Certificate of
Coverage (COC) may be issued. If this Certificate of Coverage is issued the facility is covered
by the General Permit. That is, the permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater, process
wastewater, and/or mine dewatering pursuant to the type of General Permit until the permit
expires or is modified or revoked.
• Any other point source discharge to surface water of the state is prohibited unless it is an
allowable non-stormwater discharge or is covered by another permit, authorization or approval.
• There are currently 19 active general permits. Permit conditions vary accordingly; however, most
of the permits have following condition requirements (you must read your entire permit to ensure
full compliance):

o Development and compliance with the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 1,
a Collection, reporting, and recording of Analytical Monitoring
o Collection, reporting and recording of Qualitative Monitoring
o Collection, reporting and recording of Vehicle Maintenance Monitoring
o Records — Visual monitoring shall be documented and records maintained at the facility

Inspection Date: 09/26/2007 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
The sump pumps in the secondary containment areas pump waste water back to the waste water basin that is disposed
of at the Lumberton WWTPAn the ocasions that the movable sump is used, make sure there is no contaiminated water in
the containment areas before the water is pumped on the ground.
Since a portion of the plant is no longer in operation, there is very little motor oil used and the vehical maintenance area is
no longer monitored.
This facility has representative outfall status. 4utfalls 2,4,6,7,and 8 are the analytical monitoring sites, At the time of the
inspection, these sites were the only qualitative monitoring that was being recorded. The permit requires all outfall sites be
qualitative monitored. Requested that outfalls 1 and 5 should also be qualitative monitored.
All stormwater samples are to be taken semi-annually. At the time of the inspection, there were only sample results for
once in the year of 2006. Requested that samples be taken twice a year following the timetables listed in the permit.

FROM: Darren England.
FAYETTEVILLE
SUBJECT: Buel eye.I imberton,Site Visit REI;.7 OFFICE
Site visit conducted with Ken Averette of the Fayetteville Regional Office. Buckeye represented by Eric Bolin,
Environmental Manager.
Outfalls
#1: Roof drains, fire system blowdown, small area of asphalt. Recommend approving representative
outfall status for this outfall. Potential contaminants same as those draining to Outfall #4
#2: Covered loading dock, asphalt parking area, waste compactor (covered and diked with sump to
waste treatment facility), new pallet storage. Recommend disapproval of request for
representative outfall status. TSS sample submitted with application was the highest value for all
outfalls. Location of drain at bottom of loading dock ramp provides a direct path for any
materials dropped/spilled as they are being transferred to waste compactor.
#3: Abandoned in place, concrete filled
#4: Railcar unloading area, scrap metals dumpster, roof drains
#5: Roof drains, fire system blowdown. Recommend approval of request for representative outfall
status (outfall #4 would be representative)
#6: Yard drains, scrap materials area, covered but not enclosed flammable liquid storage area
(partially diked with sump - needs to be fully diked or materials removed)
#7: Roof drains, chemical storage (some w12' containment), stock towers (some material appears to
escape), waste dumpster (uncovered).
#8: Chemical storage (some wl 20 containment), primary receiving basin for all plant waste, sludge
press loading area (indoors, but trailers are moved across gravel area to trailer drain area)
Haz. Mat.
Facility is a conditionally exempt small quantity generator of hazardous waste. Generate approximately 1 30-gallon
drum a year. Contract with Safety-Kleen of St. Pauls for transport and disposal.
Source. of high results in outfall samples unknown: Outfalls 2, 4, & 7 contain runoff from large expanse of roof
area. Facility is located,in migratory pathway and an area that is home to a large population of seagulls. Roosting
birds may be the source. Outfalls are surrounded by wooded area, local wildlife may also be the source.
High results at outfalls 6, 7, and 8 may be connected to waste treatment sludge handling activities. Waste treatment
sludge handling activities occur in drainage area of outfall 8 and vehicles transporting sludge traverse drainage areas
for outfalls 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8.
Recommend fecal coliform sampling for the initial permit period.

barren, we still only treat industrial waste at this facility. All
domestic waste is discharged to and treated by the City of Lumberton
POTW. Please let me know if you hove any further questions.

Eric:
The original NPDES wastewater discharge application indicated that the
influent to the waste treatment facility was 100% industrial wastewater
(all sanitary lines discharging to Lumberton POTW). Have there been
any plant modifications over the years which connected any sanitary
waste lines at your facility into your waste treatment facility?
