I just got off.the phone from a conference call with Stormwater Permitting in Raleigh. Given results of your analytical
sampling over the last ten years and the condition of yourfacility at inspection, they are willing to go rescind your
Individual Permit and allow you to be covered under General Permit NCG180000. The best thing about NCG18 coverage
is that you won't be required to provide any analytical monitoring unless you begin servicing a lot of vehicles.
• You will have to submit the NOI (Notice of Intent) Application for the General Permit along with the $100 fee. I've
included an editable copy of the application, attached. Make submittal to the Raleigh Office.
• Include a copy of SM&E's report with your analytical results from the last 10 years.
- This will reduce your annual fee from $860 to $100 for coverage.
- Eliminates Analytical Monitoring requirement all together.
You'll get a copy of my inspection report in the mail next week. Your facility looked good. Let me know if you have
questions. I'll try to answer them.

Facili Site Review:
Marsh Furniture began its operation in this same location, one hundred -ten (I 10) years ago and
hasremained in constant operation. It currently employs approximately four hundred (400)
personnel who manufacture kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities of various levels of quality
and styles from value conscious to high end qualities.
Mr. Braswell gave the inspector a thorough tour of all of the facilities operations. It is a busy
production site that is clean and very well maintained. Air quality was much better that was
anticipated. All of the sawdust from production is used to power boilers that make heat used in
the drying process for stains and paints. All facility operation is conducted inside buildings or
under roof. The only possible exposure locations would be the loading/unloading dock area and
a metal/spare parts boneyard area. There is one (1) gasoline tank and one (1) diesel tank. The
gasoline is no longer used. Diesel is only used for heavy-duty forklift used un outside operation.
Both tanks have secondary containment and are under roof.
Effluent Receiving_ Waters:
Effluent from this facilities industrial operations drains to High Point City Streets that lead to
unnamed tributaries of Richland Creek, Class WS-IV waters of the Cape Fear River Basin
Self -Monitoring Program:
This facility has been required to conduct qualitative and special analytical monitoring since the
individual permit was initially issued. Monitoring has been performed as required. A ten (10)
year record arras recently provided to the inspector. This record shows that the facility tested
within permit parameters with a few exceptions. The Stormwater Permitting Unit of NCDEQ in
Raleigh will allow Marsh Furniture coverage under a General Permit, NCG180000. Please
submit a copy of SM&E's ten (10) year results with the NOI (Notice of Intent).
Marsh Furniture was found to be compliant with requirements of its Individual Industrial
Stormwater Permit. If you have questions or need additional information, please contact Glen

Technical Assistance Report:
On 11/22/2016 Glen White of NCDEQ - DEMLR met with Bruce Braswell at the Marsh Furniture facility located at 1001 S.
Centennial Street in High Point; NC to conduct a walk through inspection of the facility and grounds to verify that it qualifies
for a General Stormwater Permit and to answer Mr. Braswells questions and offer comments or suggestions where
warranted. Matt Dowdy, Facility Manager assisted with inspection as well. Document review was not conducted at this
time.
Marsh Furniture has been in business in the Centennial Street location for more than 100 years and currently employs
approximately 700 employees working full time on one shift of either 8, 10 or 12 hour days. They produce cabinets from
economic and affordable quality to high end expensive luxury quality and do so utilizing varied techniques, materials as well
as skilled and unskilled labor. They are a very high volume production facility. Several buildings house the workspace and
production occurs on three (3) levels in the main building. The facility is clean with better than expected air quality.
Renovations are occuring in some areas of the plant so there is a boneyard area where metal waste is stored until it is
hauled off. This area is constantly being cleaned up and waste metals hauled off for recycling. There are also a couple of
staging areas with new materials to be installed in buildings within the coming month. There are several large dumpsters.
Dumpsters used for metal waste and scrap materials are dumped approximately once a week. Domestic waste dumpsters
are emptied twice per week. All scrap wood material waste is burned in the boilers to produce heat used in the production
process.
Marsh Furniture's facility and operations fall well within General Stormwater Permit NCG 180000. Mr. Braswell plans to
have application for a General Permit submitted to NCDEQ Stormwater Permitting Unit within the next week. He has
already spoken with Julie Ventaloro who advised him to make request to have the Individual Permit Rescinded at the time of
General Permit submittal.
