GENERAL INFORMATION
40 1.a Purpose
The purpose of the SWPPP is to identify potential sources of pollution or contamination that originate at
this facility, and to select and implement actions which prevent or minimize the release of pollutants into
the storm water. The storm water management controls included in the SWPPP focus on providing
adequate control of pollutant discharges with practical approaches that utilize readily available
techniques, expertise, material and equipment.
The SWPPP is intended to be a flexible, active operations plan to allow incorporation of changes and
management practices. As the plan is implemented and methods to improve the plan are found,or as
regulations change, revisions to the plan must be made. Revisions to the plan must be approved by
management and recorded in all copies of the plan in order to meet the requirements of the storm water
permit.
This is a wood preservation facility. Logs and some untreated poles/cumber are brought on site for
treatment using either an inorganic arsenical (CCA) or pentachlorophenol. Prior to treatment, the logs are
peeled on site, graded, and cut to length. All chemicals used in the treatment process are kept inside
containment areas. The containment systems do not have manual drain valves. Any liquids removed
from the containment areas must be pumped out. Waters accumulated inside these containment areas
are used back in the CCA process. All freshly treated poles/lumber are kept under cover, on a RCRA
Subpart W drip pad until drippage has ceased. The production facility is entirely surrounded by a ditch
that eventually leads to the only outfall (at Sunny Point).
Forklifts and other vehicles are regularly inspected and maintained by the maintenance department. Most
of the maintenance work is done under cover. Any oil or chemicals used at the maintenance department
are kept inside the maintenance building or under cover. All bulk oil tanks have secondary containment
and roofed. Chemical bulk unloading for the treating plant is within a truck containment system.
• Gasoline/diesel unloading is performed in the yard near the treating plant on concrete. The
gasoline/diesel tanks are located inside secondary containment. Any water contaminated with oil is run
through our wastewater treatment unit. The water is used in our CCA process and any residual oils are
used in our pentachlorophenol process.
BMPs currently in use are located under Section 4.
At this time, based upon a review of our current procedures for reducing or eliminating exposure of
materials to storm water, we have determined that our current BMP's are adequate for minimizing
exposure.
The maintenance area is inside a building, all oil tanks in secondary containment, all chemicals in
secondary containment or under cover. The untreated/treated poles and lumber stored outdoors, stacked
to minimize exposure and inventory controlled to reduce potential exposure to a rain event.
Housekeeping procedures are in place to regularly remove debris in the yard and inspect around our
maintenance and treating plant for chemical contamination.
1.b Procedural Requirements
The operator must comply with the following requirements:
• A signed copy of the SWPPP must be retained at the facility.
• The operator must conduct inspections at the facility in order to comply with the permit and this
plan. Inspection results may determine modification of this plan.
• The SWPPP will be updated whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation or
maintenance which may effect potential pollutants that may enter the storm water discharge.
• A copy of the permit will be kept with this plan
• All records must be maintained for at least one year from the date that the storm water permit
expires.

Process Description:
Wood preservation. Logs and some untreated lumber are brought on site for
treatment using either an inorganic arsenical (CCA) or pentachlorophenol.
Prior to treatment, the logs are peeled on site, graded, and cut to length. The
poles or lumber is placed into one of three cylinders and impregnated with a
wood preservative (chromated copper arsenate or Pentachlorophenol). Once
drippage has ceased, the treated poles or lumber is stored on the yard until
sold.
Liquid chemicals are stored inside concrete containment areas. Water that is
captured inside the chemical containment areas from rain events is re -used in
the wood preservation process. These containment areas cannot release
any liquid without manual pumping. Truck unloading of wood preservation
chemicals is within a tank truck containment area.

trash).
Loading/Unloading — There are several locations where loading/unloading are performed. In the yard untreated logs/poles/lumber are unloaded and
trailers are then reloaded with treated lumber. The pole and lumber storage areas have minimal potential for pollution since the lumber is packaged and
strapped for loading. Logs can generate bark in their storage location. Logs generally are stored in one area of the facility. Bulk diesel for treatment use
with pentachlorophenol, along with treatment chemicals, while unloading, is in a concreted containment area. No tank truck is allowed to hook up without
management approval and a tank level check. The driver must remain at the truck during unloading.
Operations — At the treatment location, the poles/lumber is treated in a roofed containment area. Once the poles/lumber is removed from the cylinder, it
is placed on a drip pad, which is contained, until drippage has ceased. Poles/Lumber may then be stored under in the yard. Any water from a rain event
that is captured on the drip pad or tank farm area is picked up and reused in the CCA operation. All chemical bulk storage is located under roof and
inside containment. Any accumulation of water from a rain event into the containment area is picked up and reused in that operation.
Outdoor Process/Particulate Generation — Log peeling is performed outdoors, near the boiler area. The bark and chips are sent through a conveyor
pipe and blown out onto the ground next to the boiler. The bark and chips are then used as fuel for our boiler. Bark and chips are piled to minimize
blowing or contamination to the waterways.
Outdoor Storage --Treated poles/lumber is stored outdoors until used or sold.
Waste Disposal —
• Treating Plant— Waste generated is boxed, stored under roof and disposed of as a hazardous waste. All liquid is reused in the process
• Maim Shop — Used oil generated is stored in 55 gallon drums or bulk tank until recycled. The drums are kept indoors or under shed.
• Yard Debris -- Any broken pieces of lumber or general trash found in the yard is placed into the trash container and disposed of as a non-
hazardous waste
• Diesel Storage— The diesel tanks are inside containment. Rainwater cannot be released without manual pumping of the containment.

3.c Record Of Significant Leaks/Spills
If a significant leak/spill occurs, (such as a release that equals or exceeds a reportable quantity or if it is a
potentially harmful quantity, even though it is below a reportable quantity), then the SWPPP must be
modified within 14 calendar days. The modification will include a description of the release and the
circumstances leading up to the release. In addition we will review and identify any measures that may
be incorporated to prevent a reoccurrence. Any modifications will be added to the SWPPP.

4. MEASURES AND CONTROLS
The results of a site assessment indicate that controls are either in place or need to be added to minimize
contaminant releases to storm water run off. Housekeeping is one area that can be readily controlled to
limit the discharge of wood debris and minimize the generation of dust.
Best Management Practices (BMPs) as well as other controls are used to reduce potential contaminant
releases. Some of our controls are as simple as ensuring that we maintain vegetation, such as grass on
slopes to prevent soil erosion and keeping outfall areas clean and free of debris.
All chemical bulk storage tanks are within secondary containment and under roof. None of our secondary
containment structures have any type of drainage system that would allow a release into the yard. Only
personnel placing a pump into the diesel containment area can remove liquid. This method prevents any
release of oil from our containment system due to rain. Our chemical storage containment areas that are
not located inside a building have automatic pumps that will pick up liquid and place it into a bulk storage
tank located within a containment area. This liquid is then used in our treating processes.
Most hose as well as the trailer connections are inside a containment area or on concrete. If any tank or
hose connections would have to be outside the contained area due to an unusual circumstance, each
connection would have a bucket underneath to catch drips and minor leaks. A quaffied employee with
access to the proper safety equipment approves the hook up to our tank prior to unloading and monitors
the loading and unloading process.
All non -bulk containers, such as drums, are stored either indoors or within a contained area.
Finished pole/lumber products are stored in the yard until shipment. Prior to storing any treated pole or
lumber products outdoors, verification that there is no drippage has been documented (Ask to see
drippage reports).
The drip pad is under roof with a concrete base and metal secondary containment to prevent any release.
Any liquid generated from drippage or a rain event flows to a sump and then is automatically picked up
and place into an effluent tank. Visual, as well as some documented Inspections are regularly performed
on the drip pad and maintenance is performed as needed. (Ask to see any drip pad documented
inspection reports).
SWPPP 2007 Page 10 of 23
I*
All cutting of poles/lumber is currently performed outdoors. This is a wood preservation facility. Logs and
some untreated poles/lumber are brought on site for treatment using either an inorganic arsenical (CCA)
or pentachlorophenol. Prior to treatment, the logs are peeled on site, graded, and cut to length. All
chemicals used in the treatment process are kept inside containment areas. Waters accumulated inside
these containment areas are used back in the CCA process. All freshly treated poles/lumber are kept
under cover, on a RCRA Subpart W drip pad until drippage has ceased.
Various types of equipment associated with this wood preserving facility include but are not limited to
pressure retorts, mechanical pumps, fueling trucks, maintenance equipment, freight transfer vehicles,
construction equipment and fork lifts.
Trucks, trailers, and forklifts are cleaned in an enclosed, roofed area designed for this purpose. The
water is reclaimed through an oil water separator.
It is recognized that maintenance of vehicles can be a significant source of storm water pollutants.
Materials associated with vehicle maintenance include waste oil, solvents and other degreasers, brake
fluid, anti freeze, battery acids, radiator flush, and sludge. The following vehicle maintenance practices
are utilized:
Maintenance is completed indoors and protected from runoff and precipitation whenever
possible. If maintenance has to be performed outside of the enclosed area, all possible
means are used to prevent spillage and approved cleaning methods (oil dry, etc) are used if
any spillage occurs.
All used products are properly stored until they are sent for recycling or disposal.
Batteries, used tired, and used solvents are collected and recycled through the appropriate
vendors (Typically batteries are recycled immediately, so there is minimal to no storage).
A feasibility review to determine if there is a way to modify or change our operating procedures or install
controls to further reduce chemical exposure indicates the following:
o Non -bulk chemical containment — All non -bulk chemicals are currently stored in secondary
containment areas or under roof.
o Chemical unloading — Chemical unloading is performed under roof or in containment areas that
will allow the end of the trailer to be placed within this containment. Most hose connections at the
tanks for bulk loading or unloading are inside the bulk storage containment area. Any tank or
hose connections outside the contained area would have buckets underneath to catch drips and
minor leaks. A qualified employee with access to the proper safety equipment approves the hook
up to our tank prior to unloading and monitors the loading and unloading process.
o Chemical containment — All chemicals are currently stored in secondary containment systems
that cannot release without manual pumping.
o Particulate containment — Log peeling is performed outdoors, near the boiler area. The bark and
chips are sent through a conveyor pipe and blown out onto the ground next to the boiler. The
bark and chips are then used as fuel for our boiler. Bark and chips are piled to minimize blowing
or contamination to the waterways.
o Diesel storage — The diesel tanks used to fuel lifts and other equipment is located within a
secondary containment system that cannot release without manual pumping. Filling the tank and
fueling procedures are performed just outside the containment area on a concrete pad. This is all
under roof. Current procedures and training are in place to prevent a release on the ground as
well as emergency equipment availability at the diesel area to handle a release immediately to
prevent rain event contamination.
o Treated wood storage —Treated lumber is typically stored outdoors. Prior to placing the treated
lumber outdoors, the material is documented that all drippage has ceased. This procedure
should ensure that there is minimal release of chemicals during a rain event from the treated
lumber. The lumber is also not placed directly on the ground, but stored 2-6" above to prevent
contact.
SWPPP 2007 Page 11 of 23
To ensure that the BMPs and other controls are in use and working, employees are taught about controls
in use and periodic inspections are performed.

5. SPILL PREVENTION AND RESPONSE PROCEDURES
Spill prevention is key to preventing releases. Process controls are in place to minimize the potential for
a release and employees are trained on these process controls. All chemical storage tanks are located
inside containment areas. The containment areas cannot release any minor spills or drips unless liquid is
manually pumped out.
Facility personnel responsible for implementing the Spill Prevention and Response Procedures are as
follows:
o Mike Rouse — Facility Manager
o Scott Russell — Pole Mill Supervisor
o Palmer Matcher — Production Supervisor
o Dale Bollinger — Treating Supervisor
o Dale Nichols — Production Supervisor
c Jerry Faulk — Maintenance Supervisor
The above personnel perform visual and documented inspections of the facility's operational areas to
ensure there has been no damage to containment, equipment or releases due to chemical handling. At a
minimum, one of these personnel will be on site during operations.
Process controls in place to prevent a release are as follows;
o Daily visual inspections by above personnel and others to ensure there has been no accidental
releases
o Daily visual inspections of equipment by above personnel and others to ensure there are no leaks
o Weekly documented inspections of equipment and containment areas to ensure there have been
no releases or equipment leaks (Ask to see documented inspections)
o Chemicals are handled and stored on concreted, contained, and roofed areas
o Preventative maintenance program on forklifts, equipment, and containment to discover and
repair leaks, damage, or other issues that might cause a release
All personnel involved with the handling of hazardous chemicals or waste are trained under 40 CFR
265.16 and 29 CFR 1910.1200. Any large releases will be handled by an outside firm.
Information pertaining to a release and our response procedures are located in this facility's contingency
plan.
6. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
This facility has a maintenance program. This program includes regular maintenance on all vehicles used
on site. Employees have been trained to notify the maintenance department or their supervisor if any
vehicles have a leak that needs repair. Daily visual inspections on all tanks and equipment that store
hazardous chemicals is performed by our operators to ensure prompt repairs for any leaks that may come
in contact with storm water run off.
SWPPP 2007 Page 14 of 23
Documented inspections on equipment is as follows:
o Weekly drip pad inspections to ensure no damage to drip pad or berm that may cause a release
. o Daily forklift inspection by operators
o Weekly equipment and storm water controls and discharge areas inspected weekly by
maintenance personnel.
o Periodic facility inspection, which includes outfall, containment, oil storage, and particulate
generating area inspections. This is performed at a minimum, 4 times annually.

9.b Sample Collection Protocols
Grab Sample Collection — A manual grab is collected within 30 minutes of a discharge at the outfall by
inserting a container under or down current of a discharge with the container opening facing upstream. If
the outfall is less accessible, then you may need to use a pole or bucket to collect the sample.
o Label sample containers before sampling
o Take a cooler with ice to the sampling point

GENERAL FIRE PROCEDURES
Small fire —Fire extinguishers are kept in several locations throughout the facility. In the event of a small fire, select
employees have been trained in the use and handling of the fire extinguishers.
Large Fire - all employees are to evacuate. The local fire department will be notified to handle this type of emergency,
Water is available on site for the fire department to use.
Note:Evidence shows that the smoke from fires involving CCA treated lumber is not significantly more toxic than
untreated lumber. ALSO ashes from treated lumber may contain arsenic, copper, chromium, and pentachlorphenol.
GENERAL SPILLIEMERGENCY RESPONSE PROCEDURES
ONLY EMPLOYEES THAT HAVE BEEN TRAINED ARE ABLE TO CONTAIN, STOP LEAKS OR PERFORM CLEAN
UP. ALL OTHER EMPLOYEES ARE ONLY AUTHORIZED TO NOTIFY MANAGEMENT
ALL REQUIRED PPE MUST BE DONNED PRIOR TO RESPONDING TO ANY SPILLS.
Liquid spill in a contained area — For all water soluble chemicals, the hazardous chemical can be washed down to the
nearest sump and then picked up and placed back into the effluent system for re -use in the process.
For non -water soluble chemicals (such as Diesel fuel), an absorbent will be placed over the spill area to pick up the
chemical. After the maximum amount of chemical has been picked up, the area will be cleaned and mopped using a
mild detergent. The material will be stored in sealed, labeled, compatible drums or buckets and disposed of according
to State and Federal Regulations.
Liquid spill in a non -contained area — For all chemicals, the following procedures apply:
Safely stop the flow, if possible
Contain the spill by building a dam type, U-shaped structure using sand, kitty litter, lime or dirt. The containment
structure should be built back far enough away from the spill to allow time for complete containment
Notify the proper authorities lithe amount of chemical released was at or above the reportable quantity. (This
should be done As Soon As Possible and immediately if the spill has left the property)
Once contained, inspect the area to ensure that the release did not leave the properly. If the release left the
property site, notify the local and state emergency contacts. Prevent any further quantity of the chemical from
leaving the property. Have a topographical map available to assist in determining the flow pattern of the released
chemical. (At the Treating Plant, where the bulk chemicals are stored, the closest property edge is greater than 500
feet before these products can leave the property.)
Pick up any liquid using a wet/dry vacuum system or pump. This liquid goes back to a containment area for re -use
or is properly stored for disposal. Diesel Fuel and/or other chemicals will be picked up using absorbents if
vacuuming or pumping is not feasible.
• Dig up the contaminated dirt a minimum of 2-4 inches. Store in properly sealed, labeled, compatible drums. All
products in bulk are compatible with steel drums with a painted liner.
• Sample the area after cleaning to determine that all of the contaminated soil has been removed.
Solid chemical spill in a contained area - The spill will be swept or vacuumed up and placed in properly sealed,
labeled and compatible drums or buckets for re -use or approved Federal and State disposal.
Solid chemical spill in a non -contained area - The spill will be swept, shoveled or vacuumed up and placed in
properly sealed, labeled and compatible drums or buckets for re -use or approved Federal and State disposal. The top
layer of contaminated soil will be removed and placed into property sealed, labeled and compatible drums for approved
State and Federal disposal. Sample the area after clean up to ensure that all contaminated soil has been removed.
GENERAL SPILUEIVIERGENCY RESPONSE PROCEDURES CONTD
Gas, fume or vapor releases into the atmosphere — Most of the chemicals kept at the facility generate minimum to no
vapors or fumes, except in a fire situation. Diesel Fuel, gasoline, and propane may represent a potential fiammability
vapor hazard. The exposure levels are as follows:
Hazard
LEL
UEL
Vapor Density
Diesel fuel
0.9%
7.0%
3-4
Gasoline
1.3%
6.0%
3-4
Propane
2.3%
9.5%
1.56
Carolina Pole— Leland, NC Contingency Plan Page 6 of 13
2006
The vapor will remain close to the ground, if a quantity greater than 50 gallons of any of the above is released, electrical
equipment within a 100 foot radius will be shut down and the local fire department notified.

DECONTAMINATION
A decontamination area will be set up using the following equipment:
• Plastic baby pool (one for wash, one for rinse)
• Roll of plastic to lay down under the decontamination area
• Scrub brushes
• Cleaner for removal of diesel fuel
Plastic will be laid down to form a path from the spill area (under the decontamination area) to the "dean" area to
prevent the spread of contamination. Equipment and personnel wiR use the water from the pool to clean equipment. All
equipment, once cleaned will be returned to the treating plant area. Any disposable items will be cleaned and thrown
away into the clean trash or, if not cleanable, will be placed into drums and
disposed of according to State and Federal regulations. If diesel fuel or other "oily" product is involved, a cleaning aid
will be added to the water_
Once completed, the water will be pumped back to the treating plant for re -use. If the liquid cannot be re -used, then it
will be drummed and disposed of according to State and Federal regulations. (See attached diagram)

PREVENTION AND BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
This facility
• Weekly inspections of the drip pad area
• Weekly hazardous waste storage area
• Monthly full facility inspections
• Bulk Chemicals are kept in contained (diked) areas
• Periodic training on handling and spill control of the chemicals on site for employees
• Initial forklift training and continued evaluations
• Daily visual inspections of chemical storage equipment by employees prior to use
• Maintenance program which includes immediate repairs of equipment that shows signs of leakage
Unloading of bulk liquid chemicals are done by trained professional drivers on concreted or asphalted areas
using buckets at each hook up point that is not in a contained area. Spill equipment is immediately available
and with the driver.
is NATURAL DISASTERS
•
A natural disaster pertains to a threat to the operations or equipment as related to severe and unusual weather
conditions. Examples of such weather conditions include, but are not limited to; hash flooding, snow/ice storms, tornado
or high winds, Hurricanes, severe cold.
The best defense against these events is early warning. With advance notice from a radio, we can plan to minimize a
natural disaster impact with the following preparations:
• Orderly plant shutdown, which includes valve closures and/or pipe draining to prevent breakage
• Stocking of extra absorbents and other items that might be needed in the event of a problem
• Moving of potential problem chemicals (small quantities) into more secure areas,
Our goal is to always be proactive in preventing potential problems due to natural disasters by maintaining emergency
equipment inventories, anticipating problems through inspections, and quality training. In the event of a tornado or other
type severe weather, employees will be directed to designated locations within their departments for shelter. (See
Evacuation Section for more information).
