DENR-LAND QUALITY
STORMWATER €'ERtmn—rIcNG
I am writing this letter to provide you an update in response to the activities we have conducted in the
interim time during the permit renewal period for Jackson Paper's NPDES stormwater permit renewal. As
you are aware, Jackson Paper operates a recycle paper mill at 152 West Main Street in Sylva, Jackson
County, North Carolina. The facility was issued a draft National Pollution Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) Stormwater Individual Permit No. NCS000295 for stormwater discharge associated with industrial
activity effective on January 1, 2017 and expiring on December 31, 2021.
We are currently working with our environmental consultant, Ramboll Environ, to review the facility's
operations and procedures for the purposes of updating the current Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SWPPP) and Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan. However, while we await
finalization of the new permit, we wanted to make you aware of the activities we've taken to meet the
conditions of the draft permit. These actions demonstrate our commitment to improve stormwater
management and document compliance with the individual industrial stormwater permit.
Task I Dye Test
A Sewer Dye Test was conducted on November 28 and 29, 2016 to evaluate the presence of possible non-
stormwater discharges. The purpose of the test was to determine if any cross -connections exist in the
stormwater system. Our subcontractors monitored both sanitary and stormwater manholes to determine
where discharges flowed. The full dye test report is included as Attachment A.
Ms. Ventaloro

Task 2 Housekeeping Best Management Practices (BMPs)
Significant housekeeping efforts were performed in the northern portion of the facility in the vicinity of the
truck scale and east of the sawdust piles. The effort involved removing sediment from the area (sawdust
and miscellaneous run-on solids), installation of a silt fence, and adding rip -rap. The effort is part of the
facility's commitment to continue to practice good housekeeping and to make continued efforts to reduce
pollutant contributions to surface water. We will continue to clean storm water drainage swales and
drainage areas that lead to facility outfalls. Photographs of cleanup activities are included as Attachment
B.
Task a Preparation of SWPPP and SPCC Plans
Jackson Paper is in the process of working with Ramboll Environ to update its SWPPP and implement an
SPCC Plan. The plans are presently in a draft form and the final plans will be in place by February 2017.
The SWPPP conforms to the required elements of the draft permit and include the following: 1) Site
overview; 2) Stormwater management strategy; 3) containment requirements and records; 34 Spill
prevention and response procedures (SPRP); 5) Preventative maintenance and good housekeeping; 6)
routine facility inspection schedule; 7) annual employee training; 8) provisions for amendments and annual
updates to the Plan; and 9) SWPPP implementation procedures. A draft figure including the facility layout,
stormwater conveyance system, drainage areas, outfall locations, potentially exposed materials locations,
and nearby surface water body is included as Attachment C.
Task 4 Preparation of Annual Training SWPPP and 5PCC Plans
Jackson Paper and Ramboll Environ are near completion of a comprehensive training program, which will be
completed in January 2017 for facility employees. The training will meet the federal requirements of 40
CFR, Part 112 (Oil Pollution Prevention) and cover the specifics within our NPDES individual Permit No.
NCS000295. The training will be provided to all our employees to ensure they are aware of activities that
have the potential to impact storm water and cover oil handling operations. The training content will closely
follow the guidance provided in both the SPCC and SWPPP plans.
Task 5 Stormwater Sampling Activities
A sampling event was conducted on November 29, 2016 of the three facility outfalls, prior to the discovery
of the fourth outfall. The three samples were analyzed for oil and grease, turbidity, total suspended solids
(TSS), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and pH in accordance with the
conditions of the draft permit. The results indicated exceedances for TSS, BOD, and COD in outfall 3.
Jackson Paper notes the exceedances were likely due to a buildup of sediments over time as the area
experienced a drought for an extended period of time.
A second sampling event was conducted on December 12, 2016 during which time samples were collected
from all four locations. Results from the second sampling did not indicate an exceedance of any benchmark
values. A summary of results is included as Attachment D.

SEWER DYE TEST REPORT
JACKSON PAPER MANUFACTURING COMPANY
152 WEST MAIN STREET SYLVA, NC
Dear Kiesha: January 5, 2017
Ramboll Environ US Corporation (Ramboll Environ) is providing this report to
Jackson Paper Manufacturing Company (Jackson Paper) to present the results of Rambo€l Env4ron
the Sewer Dye Testing performed at the facility located in Sylva, North Carolina. 1600 Parkwood Circle
The test was performed over a two day period taking place on November 281h and Suite 310
291h, 2016. Atlanta, GA 30339
USA
The purpose of the Sewer Dye Test was to evaluate the competency of the facility's
existing sanitary sewer lines and determine if any sanitary sewer discharges were T + 1 770 874 5010
entering the stormwater collection system. The work assessed waste discharges F [phone]
from various portions of the facility and potential cross -connections with other on-
www.ramboll-environ.com
site sewer systems. Floor drains, sinks, and bathrooms throughout the facility were
evaluated using dyed water to track their related discharges.
Sanitary Sewer Dye Test Methodology
To conduct the Sewer Dye Test, Ramboll Environ subcontracted with S&H
Waterproofing and Construction, LLC (S&H) from Piedmont, Alabama to provide the
necessary equipment and personnel for the procedure. S&H filled a 330-gallon tote
with water from a nearby creek via Jackson Paper's on -site pump system and
added a food -grade, blue -colored insoluble dye to use as a tracing media. The dyed
water was then pumped into each drain, sink, or bathroom of concern individually.
S&H verified each injection points' discharge location based on the presence of the
dyed water in the nearby sanitary sewer manholes. S&H concurrently monitored
the closest stormwater manhole to determine if dyed water was entering the
stormwater network.
Three main regions of the facility were tested using this methodology. The three
regions of the facility included the Administration Building, Paper Manufacturing
Building, and Recycling/Boiler Building. The results from each region are discussed
in more detail below (refer to Figure 1 for illustrative purposes).

Results
A summary of the results that were documented from each injection point is presented below. The results
are grouped together based on the three facility regions tested. Pictures of key findings and modifications
made are included in the photo log contained in Attachment A. The summary report provided by S&H is
contained in Attachment B.
Results from Administration Building
S&H tested one women's restroom sink, one women's restroom toilet, one men's restroom sink, and one
men's restroom toilet in the Jackson Paper Administration Building. Each of the four sources were found to
discharge to the correct sanitary sewer line.
Results from Paper Manufacturing Building
5&H tested several areas throughout the Jackson Paper Manufacturing Building. In the Shipping Area, S&H
tested one women's restroom sink, one women's restroom toilet, one men's restroom sink, and one men's
restroom toilet. Each of the four sources were found to discharge to the correct sanitary sewer line. In the
Shipping Lab, S&H tested two sinks and each sink discharged to the correct sanitary sewer line. In the
office behind the women's locker room, S&H tested the floor drain and found that it discharges to the
correct sanitary sewer line. In the men's locker room, S&H tested four sinks, three toilets, two urinals, two
showers, and one floor drain. Each of the twelve sources were found to discharge to the correct sanitary
sewer line. In the women's locker room, S&H tested one sink, one toilet, two showers, and one floor drain.
Each of the five sources were found to discharge to the correct sanitary sewer line. Inside the plant, S&H
tested two additional sinks that both discharged to the correct sanitary sewer line.
In the Electrical & Instrumentation (E&I) tool room, S&H tested a sink and determined that it discharged to
a drain located outside of the Paper Manufacturing Building. This drain was found to be broken at the
ground surface allowing the discharge to flow into a stormwater swale, as shown in Photo 1 of Attachment
A. Upon notice, Jackson Paper re-routed the drain to a confirmed sanitary sewer line located in the nearby
E&I tool room, as shown in Photo 2 and Photo 3 of Attachment A.
Results from Boiler Control Room
S&H tested one toilet, one bathroom sink, and an additional sink outside of the bathroom in the Boiler
Control Room. The three tests found that all three sources discharge to the facility's stormwater system at
Outfall 003. This was due to the fact that both the underground sanitary and stormwater piping was
crushed and broken in the same area. Consequently, flow from the crushed sanitary line was inadvertently
entering the broken underground stormwater line and reaching Outfall 003, as shown in Photo 4 of
Attachment A. Jackson Paper repaired both lines and addressed the cross -connection, as shown in Photo 5
of Attachment A.
Results from Recycling Building
In the Recycling Building, S&H tested one toilet, one bathroom sink, and an additional sink on floors 2 and
3. The testing confirmed that all three sources also discharged to the broken sanitary and stormwater line
noted at the Boiler Control Room. Photo 4 of Attachment A shows the condition of the crushed pipe upon
excavation of the lines. Jackson Paper repaired both lines immediately as shown in Photo 5 of Attachment
A and prevented further discharge to Outfall 003.
Conclusions
Based upon the Sanitary Sewer Dye Testing, S&H made seven findings as described above. The sink in the
E&I tool room of the Paper Manufacturing Building and both restrooms from the Boiler Control Room and
Recycling Building had their discharges inadvertently routed to stormwater lines. After discovering these
2/5

ENVIRON
cross connections, Jackson Paper took the necessary steps to address the findings and repaired all illicit
stormwater discharges within two days of their discovery.
We appreciate the opportunity to support Jackson Paper in this important project. If you have any
questions or need further information, please feel free to contact us at your convenience.
Yours sincerely,

Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit
Permit No. NCS000295
Jackson Paper Manufacturing - Sylva
Jackson County
Dear Ms. Slusser: (C(apy
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. Please
review the draft carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements
it contains.
The draft permit contains the following significant changes from the facility's current permit:
You are required to collect analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during
"measurable storm events" as defined in Part II, Section B. This term is different
from the "representative storm event" in earlier permits.
2. Requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Plan (SPPP) have been updated in Part 11,
Section A.
3. Changes have been made to multiple monitoring parameters, including a change to one
benchmark. Stormwater benchmarks are not permit limits, but rather guidelines for
implementing the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). A benchmark
exceedance is not a permit violation; however, the permittee must respond to
exceedances as directed in the Tiers.
The Oil & Grease parameter is changed to Non -polar Oil & Grease [EPA
Method 1664 (SGT-HEM)]; the benchmark for Non -polar Oil & Grease is 15
mg/L.
The Turbidity benchmark has been removed and monitoring of this parameter
will only be required if the TSS benchmark is exceeded for two consecutive
periods. In that event, monthly monitoring of the receiving waters will also be

required, but for a limited number of sampling periods. [See footnotes in Part II,
Section B, Tables l & 3.]
• The TSS benchmark has been changed from 100 mg/L to 50 mg/L to reflect
current requirements for waters classified as Trout waters. Trout are
particularly sensitive to high TSS levels.
• The Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) parameter has been removed.
il 0 Monitoring frequency has been changed from monthly to quarterly.
• Vehicle maintenance monitoring parameters have been revised as follows:
o Non -Polar Oil & Grease [EPA Method 1664 (SGT-HEM)] replaces
Oil & Grease/TPH. This requirement appears in all individual
stormwater permits; however, it only applies to facilities that perform
onsite vehicle maintenance activities. If the facility begins vehicle
maintenance during the permit cycle, the requirements shall apply.
o pH monitoring is no longer required for discharges only associated
with vehicle maintenance activities.
�1 1.
�. 4t_A` new section on Special Conditions has been added in Part II, Section E to comply
with federal regulations requiring electronic submittal of discharge monitoring
reports.
5. Civil and administrative penalty amounts have been updated to reflect current federal
law in Part II1, Section A, 2(b) and (g).
We are in receipt of the letter from Kiesha Bridges dated September 19, 2016 describing the
facility's good housekeeping efforts that have taken place since the agency's last site
inspection. It wasn't clear from the letter whether the facility had addressed concerns raised in
the Permit Compliance Inspection letter and report from DWQ dated April 13, 2012 regarding
potential illicit discharges from old infrastructure. That inspection report directed the facility
to identify any illicit discharges that may be entering the storm drain system. A slight
petroleum sheen was noted at the time of the inspection at Stormwater Discharge Outfall-002,
but the entire site should be evaluated. Dye testing or video testing can be useful in identifying
illicit discharges. Please provide us additional information regarding the identification of any
illicit discharges from old infrastructure on your site. If this has not yet occurred, the issuance
of your renewed permit may be delayed and monthly monitoring will continue io be required.
Please review the draft permit and submit any comments, as well as information regarding
identification of illicit discharges, to me no later than 45� following your receipt of the

Dear Mr. Murphy:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
This letter is in follow-up to the NPDES Stormwater Permit Compliance Inspection conducted on
March 20, 2012. Linda Wiggs and I, of the Asheville Regional Office /Division of Water Quality
(ARO/DWQ), appreciated the assistance of Josh Carnes, Environmental Manager, during review
of the site. The facility was found to be in compliance with permit NCS000295.
Enclosed is a copy of the Compliance Inspection Report, which contains additional observations
and comments for your reference.
ARO/D WQ recommends that the chip piles be moved approximately 25 feet from surface water
conveyances. This may help to alleviate elevated benchmark values when sampling. Due to the
older infrastructure at the plant, Jackson Paper should continue to evaluate any illicit discharges.
ARO/DWQ will work with DWQ's Raleigh Central Office through the renewal process to try to
reduce some of the required monitoring. Jackson Paper has performed ample sampling in the past
3 years and. DWQ appreciates the efforts made at the plant. In order for this to be successful,
Jackson Paper should continue to practice good housekeeping and make continued efforts to
reduce pollutant contributions to surface waters.

Inspection Summary. -
Susan Wilson and Linda Wiggs (ARO/DWQ) met Josh Carnes of Jackson Paper on March 20, 2012. Jackson Paper is
currently under an individual stormwater permit (effective May 1, 2009) which requires analytical and qualitative
monitoring on a monthly basis. Jackson Paper has diligently performed their required monitoring.
They have also conducted upstream and downstream monitoring, as well as an upstream DOT culvert that flows through
the site. Although some benchmarks have been exceeded - there is no direct correlation to instream values. Jackson
Paper has made modifications to the site to prevent excess runoff that may have been contributing to the elevated values
(particularly near the ditch line at the west of the property near the DOT culvert).
SDO-001 - this outfall is essentially the front parking area of the facility. There is a small area that may have some
exposure - but the majority of stormwater contribution comes from the drainage and runoff of the main highway that runs
in front of the plant. After conversations with Josh, there is not an adequate way to eliminate the highway runoff that this
outfall is receiving. ARO/DWQ will recommend to the Central Office that monitoring for this outfall be reduced or
eliminated - and good housekeeping practices be maintained in this area. This outfall has had some exceedances - that
were likely attributed to road runoff and/or the filter that was used in the drop inlet_
SDO-002 - this outfall is basically a previous drainagetstream that has-been culverted beneath the plant. This outfall has
only had a few turbidity exceedances in the past 2 years. DWQ/ARO will recommend to the Central Office that monitoring
for this outfall be reduced or eliminated,
SDO-003 - this outfall receives the majority of flow around the chip piles (which are used for fuel at the plant). It has had
some elevated values_ Jackson Paper is working to slow down some flow and provided some protection for this outfall.
Even though some of the values for this outfall have been elevated - they do not appear to be having an adverse effect on
Scott's Creek (based on pre- and post- sampling). AROIDWQ will recommend that monitoring be reduced at this outfall.
ARO does recommend that Jackson Paper move chip piles approximately 25 ft away from surface water conveyances.
This may help reduce some elevated values_ As stated previously, ARO also recommends that any illicit discharges be
identified.
In addition, ARO/DWQ does not expect Jackson Paper (Josh) to obtain samples in the middle of the night. It is
appropriate to mark "no flow" during a month if samples cannot be obtained during regular business hours.

DRE: RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR INFORMATION REGARDING
NPDES STORMWATER PERMIT RENEWAL
JACKSON PAPER — SYLVA, NORTH CAROLINA
Ms. Ventaloro:
I am writing this letter in response to your August 25, 2016 and subsequent September 15, 2016 emails
regarding Jackson Paper's National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) stormwater permit
renewal. I hope to clarify the recent confusion regarding the permit renewal and sampling activities at the
facility.
Jackson Paper operates a recycle paper mill at 152 West Main Street in Sylva, Jackson County, North
Carolina. The facility currently operates under the NPDES Stormwater Individual Permit No. NCS000295 for
stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity effective on May 1, 2009 and ultimately expired on
April 30, 2012.
On November 3, 2011, prior to the expiration of the facility's NPDES permit in April 2012, Jackson Paper
Formally submitted an NPDES Stormwater Permit Coverage Renewal Application to the North Carolina
Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR, now NCDEQ) Stormwater Permitting
Program. On March 20, 2012, the Asheville Regional Office/Division of Water Quality (ARO/DWQ)
conducted a NPDES Stormwater Permit Compliance Inspection at the site. In their final report dated April
13, 2012, the regional inspectors stated that the facility had performed ample sampling in the past 3 years
and ARO/DWQ would recommend to DWQ's Raleigh Central Office (RCO) that monitoring for all stormwater
outfalls be reduced or eliminated. Further, ARO/DWQ indicated that they would work with RCO to reduce
some of the required monitoring during the permit renewal process. The April 13, 2012 final inspection
report is included as Attachment A.

Based on the compliance inspection report findings and the facility's discussions with ARO/DWQ during the
inspection, Jackson Paper had the understanding that stormwater monitoring was no longer required for
stormwater discharge outfalls at the facility. Section B of the NPDES. Stormwater Individual Permit No.
NCS000295 notes that Jackson Paper is required to complete a minimum of 36 analytical samplings in
accordance with the schedule specified in Table 2 of the NPDES permit unless otherwise directed by
NCDEQ's Division of Water Quality (DWQ). Table 2 of the NPDES permit outlines 36 monthly sampling
periods beginning with May 1, 2009 - May 31, 2009 and ending with April 1, 2012 - April 30, 2012.
Jackson Paper conducted the required analytical monitoring through the ending sampling period of April 1,
2012 - April 30, 2012 as outlined in Table 2 of the NPDES Stormwater Individual Permit No. NCS000295.
In the NPDES inspection report, ARO/DWQ directed the facility to continue to practice good housekeeping
and to make continued efforts to reduce pollutant contributions to surface water. In a continued effort to
minimize impacts to Stormwater run-off and identify areas for updated control measurements, the facility
has continued to conduct semi-annual comprehensive site inspections. These semi-annual site evaluations
include the inspection of all storm water conveyances, including storm drain inlets and storm water
discharge outfalls for soil erosion; facility equipment and material handling areas for evidence of pollutants
entering the drainage system; and plant equipment and operational systems (secondary containment
structures) for conditions such as cracks or slow leaks in tanks, valves, piping, etc. which could cause
breakdowns or failures resulting in pollutant discharges to storm sewers or surface waters. Additionally,
Jackson Paper completed a relocation of the chip piles at the facility to approximately 25 feet from surface
water conveyances in response to the NPDES inspection report findings regarding ARO/DWQ's
recommendation. Other than the relocation of the chip piles, there have been no significant changes to the
facility's operation or site since the ARO/DWQ NPDES inspection report in March 2012.
Jackson Paper is currently working with Ramboll Environ, an environmental consultant to review the
facility's operations and procedures for the purposes of updating the current Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SWPPP). Once the NPDES permit renewal has been issued, we will incorporate the
requirements into the updated SWPPP.
We believe it would be beneficial to discuss the information provided above in further detail, so we would
like to setup a conference call with you. Please let us know if a call on Tuesday, September 27, 2016 at
2:OOPM EST would work with your schedule. We appreciate NCDEQ's review of this response. If you have
any questions regarding the information presented in this letter, please feel free to contact me by phone at

and manufacturing or fueling operations. In�areas where elimination of exposure is
not practical, this review shall document•the feasibility of diverting the stormwater
run-on away from areas of potential contamination.
(b) SecondaryContainment Require ants ' an/Records. Secondary containment is
required for: bulk stora e. of li ud materials; storage in any amount of Section 313
of Title II -I of the Superfurid�Am`endments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water
priority chemicals; and storage,in any amount of hazardous substances, in order to
prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. A table or summary
of all such tanks and stored materials and their associated secondary containment
areas shall be maintained..If the secondary containment devices are connected to
stormwater conveyance,systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually
activated valves or other similar devices (which shall be secured closed with a
locking mechanism). Any stormwater that accumulates in the containment area
shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam, outfall staining, visible
sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the accumulated stormwater.
Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be uncontaminated by any
material. Records documenting the individual making the observation, the
description of the accumulated stormwater, and the date and time of the release
shall be kept for a period of five (S) years. For facilities subject to a federal oil Spill
Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC), any portion of the SPCC Plan
fully compliant with the requirements of this permit may be used to demonstrate
compliance with this permit.
(c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management
Practices (BMPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs
shall be based on the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute
significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and on data collected
through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a
written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the
selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually.

3. Spill Prevention and Response Procedures. The Spill Prevention and Response
Procedures (SPRP) shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based
on a materials inventory of the facility. Facility personnel responsible for implementing
the SPRP shall be identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and
dated by each individual acknowledging their responsibilities for the plan. A
responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility operations that have
increased potential to contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or exposure of
materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP must be site stormwater
specific. Therefore, an oil Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure plan (SPCC)
may be a component of the.SPRP, but may not be sufficient to completely address the
stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may
be incorporated by reference into the SPRP. �_ <
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping=frog fm. A preventative
maintenance and good housekeeping program{shall be developed and implemented.
The program shall address all stormwater control systems (if applicable), stormwater
discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial

compliance with the established schedules for inspections, maintenance, and
housekeeping shall be recbrded and maintained in the SPPP.
5. Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur
as part of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a
minimum on a semi-annual schedule, once during the first half of the year (January to
June), and once during the second half (July to December), with at least 60 days
separating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently than semi-annually).
These facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the stormwater
discharge characteristic monitoring at the outfalls required in Part 11 B, C, and D of this
permit.
6. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill
response and cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's
operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. The facility
personnel responsible for implementing the training shall be identified, and their
annual training shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained.

Responsibilities for all components of the SPPP shall be documented and position
assignments provided.
8. SPPP Amendment and Annual Update. The permittee shall amend the SPPP
whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, site drainage,
maintenance, or configuration of the physical features which may have a significant
effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of
the SPPP shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. The annual update
shall include:
(a) an updated list ofsignificant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous three
(3) years, or the notation that no spills have occurred (element of the Site
Overview);

BMPs (BMP Summary element of the,St rmwater Management Strategy).
(d) a review and comparison of sample•analyticandata to benchmark values (if
applicable) over the past year„including.a0scussion about Tiered Response
status. The permittee shall use the Division's Annual Summary Data
Monitoring Report (DMR)if rmavailable from the Stormwater Permitting
Program's website,(See''Mbnitoring Forms' here:
The Director may notify the perAt ee when the SPPP does not meet one or more of the
minimum requirements of the,permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee
shall submit a time schedule -to the Director for modifying the SPPP to meet minimum
requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with
Part II1, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3) to the Director that the changes
have been made.
9. SPPP Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan and all appropriate BMPs consistent with the provisions of this permit,
in order to control contaminants entering surface waters via stormwater.

stormwater discharge outfall. (SDO). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with
industrial activity must be sampled (See Definitions).
A measurable storm event is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the
permitted site outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours
prior. The 72-hour storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a
shorter interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and the
permittee obtains approval from the local DEMLR Regional Engineer. See Definitions.

during a measureable storm event,•until either another permit is issued for this facility or until this
permit is revoked or rescinded._If the facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or Three
response actions under the previous permit, the facility shall continue a monthly monitoring and
reporting schedule in Tier Two or Tier Three status until relieved by the provisions of this permit or
the Division.
2 Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. When physical separation between
outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, sampling shall begin within the first 30
minutes, and shall continue until completed.
3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless
representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the Division's letter granting ROS shall be
kept on site.
4 if TSS at any SDO exceeds the TSS benchmark for two consecutive monitoring periods, monitoring of all
parameters in the receivingter, directly upstream (U) and downstream (D) of the SDO, shall be required
in accordance with Part 1I, Section B, Table 3, Footnote 1.
5 Turbidity is only required to be monitored in accordance with Part I1, Section B, Table 3, Footnote 1. The
permittee may elect to monitor turbidity in the receiving water, directly upstream (U) and downstream (D)
of the SDO, to demonstrate the discharge has not caused an instream water quality standard violation of
turbidity.
6 For each sampled measureable storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge
is required. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain gauge reading
may be substituted for an on -site reading.

The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule
specified below in Table 2, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection
(see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Sampling is not required outside of the facility's
normal operating hours. A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2
sample dates, unless monthly monitoring has been instituted under a "Tier Two"
response. Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented
in the SPPP and recorded on the DMR. The permittee must report the results from each
sample taken within the monitoring period (see Part III, Section E). However, for purposes
of benchmark comparison and Tiered response actions, the permittee shall use the
analytical results from the first sample with valid results within the monitoring period.

1 Maintain quarterly monitoring until either another permit is issued for this facility or until this
permit is revoked or rescinded. The permittee must submit an application for renewal of coverage
before the submittal deadline (180 days before expiration) to be considered for renewed coverage
under the permit. The permittee must continue analytical monitoring throughout the permit
renewal process, even if a renewal permit is not issued until after expiration of this permit.
2 If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report
indicating "No Flow" or "No Discharge" within 30 days of the end of the sampling period.
Failure to monitor quarterly per permit terms may result in the Division requiring
monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period. "No discharge" from an

outfall during a monitoring period does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is
properly recorded and reported.
The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3.
Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase
management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management
Practices (BMPS) in a tiered program. See below the descriptions of Tier One, Tier Two, and
Tier Three response actions below. In the event that the Division releases the permittee from
continued monthly monitoring and reporting under Tier Two or Tier Three, the Division's

SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and identify new potential sources of stormwater
pollution. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls must be performed during a
measurable storm event.
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each mwater outfall regardless of
representative outfall status. Qualitative monitoring shall'be performed quarterly as
specified in Table 4, and during required analytical`monitoring.events (unless the
permittee is required to perform further qua] itative,monitoring per the Qualitative
Monitoring Response, below). Inability to monitor because of adverse weather conditions
must be documented in the SPPP and recorded -on th'e Qualitative Monitoring Report form
(see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Only SDOsdischa`rging stormwater associated with
industrial activity must be monitored (See Definitions).
In the event an atypical condition is,noted`at a stormwater discharge outfall, the permittee
shall document the suspected cause ofthe,condition and any actions taken in response to
the discovery. This documentation wi�be maintained with the SPPP.

process until a new permit is issued.
2 Monitoring Location: Qualitative monitoring shall be performed at each stormwater discharge outfall
[SDO) regardless of representative outfall status.
A minimum of 60 days must separate monitoring dates, unless additional sampling has
been instituted as part of other analytical monitoring requirements in this permit.
If the permittee's qualitative monitoring indicates that existing stormwater BMPs are
ineffective, or that significant stormwater contamination is present, the permittee shall
investigate potential causes, evaluate the feasibility of corrective actions, and implement
those corrective actions within 60 days, per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below.
A written record of the permittee's investigation, evaluation,, and response actions shall be
kept in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. _ J
wilitative -Monitoring Response
Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluatirig.SPPP effectiveness, identifying new potential
sources of stormwater pollution, and prompting the.,permittee's response to pollution. if the
permittee repeatedly fails to respond effectively to correct problems identified by qualitative
monitoring, or if the discharge causes gr confutes to a water quality standard violation, the
Division may but is not limited to:
• require that the permittee reviseNincrease, or decrease the monitoring frequency for some
or all parameters (analytical or qualitative)
• require the permitteelto instalbstructural stormwater controls;
• require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures;
• require the permittee-to-perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize
impacts on receiving -waters; or
• require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion.
SECTION D: ON -SITE VEHICLE MAINTENANCE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Facilities that have any vehicle maintenance activity occurring on -site which uses more
than 55 gallons of new motor oil per month when averaged over the calendar year
shall perform analytical monitoring as specified below in Table 5. All analytical
monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at all stormwater
discharge outfalls (SDOs) that discharge stormwater runoff from vehicle maintenance areas,
and in accordance with the schedule presented in Table 2 (Section B).

permit [40 CFR 122.41(c)].
Bypassing of Stormwater Control Facilities
Bypass is prohibited and the Director may take enforcement action against a permittee for bypass
unless:
a. Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property damage; and
b. There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary control facilities,
retention of stormwater, or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime or dry
weather. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup controls should have been installed in
the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during
normal periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and

® Permit No. NCS000295
c. The permittee submitted notices as required under, Part III, Section E of this permit.
If the Director determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above, the Director may
approve an anticipated bypass after considering its adverse effects.
SECTION D: MONITORING AND RECORDS
1. Representative Sampling
Samples collected and measurements taken, as required herein, shall be characteristic of the volume
and nature of the permitted discharge. Analytical sampling shall be performed during a measureable
storm event. Samples shall be taken on a day and time that is characteristic of the discharge. All
samples shall be taken before the discharge joins or is diluted by any other waste stream, body of
water, or substance. Monitoring points as specified in this permit shall not be changed without
notification to and approval of the Permit Issuing Authority [4CFR 122.41(j)].
2. Recording Re5ults
For each measurement or sample taken pursuant to/they
o t` he requirements of this permit, the permittee
shall record the following information [40 CFR 122.41]:J�
a. The date, exact place, and time of sampling or measurements;
b. The individual(s) who performed the sampling or -measurements;
C. The date(s) analyses were performed; I l
d. The individual(s) who performed the analyses;
/ Z
e. The analytical techniques -or methods used and
f. The results of such analyses.
Flow Measurements r9/
Where required, appropriate flow measurement devices and methods consistent with accepted
scientific practices shallibe selected�and used to ensure the accuracy and reliability of measurements
of the volume of monitore� ages.
Test Procedures
Test procedures for the analysis of pollutants shall conform to the EMC regulations published
pursuant to NCGS 143-215.63 et. seq, the Water and Air Quality Reporting Acts, and to regulations
published pursuant to Section 304(g), 33 USC 1314, of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as
Amended, and Regulation 40 CFR 136.
To meet the intent of the monitoring required by this permit, all test procedures must produce
minimum detection and reporting levels and all data generated must be reported down to the
minimum detection or lower reporting level of the procedure. If no approved methods are
determined capable of achieving minimum detection and reporting levels below permit discharge
requirements, then the most sensitive (method with the lowest possible detection and reporting
level) approved method must be used.
5. Representative Outfa
If a facility has multiple discharge locations with substantially identical stormwater discharges that
are required to be sampled, the permittee may petition the Director for representative outfall status.
If it is established that the stormwater discharges are substantially identical and the permittee is
granted representative outfall status, then sampling requirements may be performed at a reduced
number of outfalls.

JACKSON PAPER — SYLVA, NORTH CAROLINA
Ms. Ventaloro:
This letter is to acknowledge that we have received your October 7, 2016 draft National Pollution Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) Stormwater Permit ("Permit") letter and the attached draft NPDES Stormwater
permit Number NCS000295 for our Jackson Paper Manufacturing facility in Sylva, North Carolina.
After a careful review of both the October 7th letter outlining the changes in conditions and requirements
from the current Permit and the proposed new draft Permit, we are in agreement with the updates and do
not have any comments at this time.
As indicated in our September 19, 2016 letter, Jackson Paper is currently working with Ramboll Environ, an
environmental consultant to update the facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) to
incorporate current operations and procedures as well as the requirements of the final NPDES Stormwater
permit, once issued. In addition, and as requested in the October 7th letter, Jackson Paper is working with
Ramboll Environ to investigate the request for additional information regarding the identification of any illicit
discharges from old infrastructure at the site. We will provide NCDEQ with information regarding the details
of our review as soon as we complete the investigation.
We appreciate NCDEQ's focus on the issuance of this renewal permit. If you have any questions, please
contact me by phone at [phone] ext. 226 or by email at [e-mail].

Ms. Ventaloro,
Please see the attached letter of response to the Draft for Jackson Paper's NPDES (Permit
No.NCS000295) Stormwater Permit Renewal. We plan to resume analytical monitoring and provide
that data to you (as well as to the Central Files address on the monitoring report form) in support of a
possible request for ROS (Representative Outfall Status) approval. Unfortunately, given our current
drought conditions, we have not had the opportunity to collect samples for analytical monitoring. We
stand at the ready to collect samples upon the next measurable rain event and submit analytical
monitoring results thereafter.

Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit
Permit No. NCS000295
Jackson Paper Manufacturing - Sylva
Jackson County
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. Please
review the draft carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements
it contains.
The draft permit contains the following significant changes from the facility's current permit:
1. You are required to collect analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during
"measurable storm events" as defined in Part I1, Section B. This term is different
from the "representative storm event" in earlier permits.
2. Requirements for the Stormwater Pollution PIan (SPPP) have been updated in Part II,
Section A.
3. Changes have been made to multiple monitoring parameters, including a change to one
benchmark. Stormwater benchmarks are not permit limits, but rather guidelines for
implementing the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). A benchmark
exceedance is not a permit violation; however, the permittee must respond to
exceedances as directed in the Tiers.
• The Oil & Grease parameter is changed to Non -polar Oil & Grease [EPA
Method 1664 (SGT-HEM)]; the benchmark for Non -polar Oil & Grease is 15
mg/L.
The Turbidity benchmark has been removed and monitoring of this parameter
will only be required if the TSS benchmark is exceeded for two consecutive
periods. In that event, monthly monitoring of the receiving waters will also be

required, but for a limited number of sampling periods. [See footnotes in Part II,
Section B, Tables 1 & 3.]
• The TSS benchmark has been changed from 100 mg/L to 50 mg/L to reflect
current requirements for waters classified as Trout waters. Trout are
particularly sensitive to high TSS levels.
• The Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) parameter has been removed.
• Monitoring frequency has been changed from monthly to quarterly.
• Vehicle maintenance monitoring parameters have been revised as follows:
o Non -Polar Oil & Grease [EPA Method 1664 (SGT-HEM)] replaces
Oil & Grease/TPH. This requirement appears in all individual
stormwater permits; however, it only applies to facilities that perform
onsite vehicle maintenance activities. If the facility begins vehicle
maintenance during the permit cycle, the requirements shall apply.
o pH monitoring is no longer required for discharges only associated
with vehicle maintenance activities.
4. A new section on Special Conditions has been added in Part 1I, Section E to comply
with federal regulations requiring electronic submittal of discharge monitoring
reports.
5. Civil and administrative penalty amounts have been updated to reflect current federal
law in Part III, Section A, 2(b) and (g).
We are in receipt of the letter from Kiesha Bridges dated September 19, 2016 describing the
facility's good housekeeping efforts that have taken place since the agency's last site
inspection. It wasn't clear from the letter whether the facility had addressed concerns raised in
the Permit Compliance Inspection letter and report from DWQ dated April 13, 2012 regarding
potential illicit discharges from old infrastructure. That inspection report directed the facility
to identify any illicit discharges that may be entering the storm drain system. A slight
petroleum sheen was noted at the time of the inspection at Stormwater Discharge Outfall-002,
but the entire site should be evaluated. Dye testing or video testing can be useful in identifying
illicit discharges. Please provide us additional information regarding the identification of any
illicit discharges from old infrastructure on your site. If this has not yet occurred, the issuance
of your renewed permit may be delayed and monthly monitoring will continue to be required.
Please review the draft permit and submit any comments,'as well as information regarding
identification of illicit discharges, to me no later than 45 days following your receipt of the

Dear Mr. Murphy:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
This letter is in follow-up to the NPDES Stormwater Permit Compliance Inspection conducted on
March 20, 2012. Linda Wiggs and 1, of the Asheville Regional Office /Division of Water Quality
(ARO/DWQ), appreciated the assistance of Josh Carnes, Environmental Manager, during review
of the site. The facility was found to be in compliance with permit NCS000295.
Enclosed is a copy of the Compliance Inspection Report, which contains additional observations
and comments for your reference.
ARO/DWQ recommends that the chip piles be moved approximately 25 feet from surface water
conveyances. `Phis may help to alleviate elevated benchmark values when sampling. Due to the
older infrastructure at the plant, Jackson Paper should continue to evaluate any illicit discharges.
ARO/DWQ will work with DWQ's Raleigh Central Office through the renewal process to try to
reduce some of the required monitoring. Jackson Paper has performed ample sampling in the past
3 years and DWQ appreciates the efforts made at the plant. In order for this to be successful,
Jackson Paper should continue to practice good housekeeping and make continued efforts to
reduce pollutant contributions to surface waters.

Inspection Summary:
Susan Wilson and Linda Wiggs (AROIDWQ) met Josh Carnes of Jackson Paper on March 20, 2012. Jackson Paper is
currently under an individual stormwater permit (effective May 1, 2009) which requires analytical and qualitative
monitoring on a monthly basis. Jackson Paper has diligently performed their required monitoring.
They have also conducted upstream and downstream monitoring, as well as an upstream DOT culvert that flows through
the site. Although some benchmarks have been exceeded - there is no direct correlation to instream values. Jackson
Paper has made modifications to the site to prevent excess runoff that may have been contributing to the elevated values
(particularly near the ditch line at the west of the property near the DOT culvert).
SDO-001 - this outfall is essentially the front parking area of the facility. There is a small area that may have some
exposure - but the majority of stormwater contribution comes from the drainage and runoff of the main highway that runs
in front of the plant. After conversations with Josh, there is not an adequate way to eliminate the highway runoff that this
outfall is receiving. AROIDWQ will recommend to the Central Office that monitoring for this outfall be reduced or
eliminated - and good housekeeping practices be maintained in this area. This outfall has had some exceedances - that
were likely attributed to road runoff and/or the filter that was used in the drop inlet_
SDO-002 - this outfall is basically a previous drainage/stream that has-been culverted beneath the plant. This outfall has
only had a few turbidity exceedances in the past 2 years. DWQIARO will recommend to the Central Office that monitoring
for this outfall be reduced or eliminated.
SDO-003 - this outfall receives the majority of FlOw around the chip piles (which are used for fuel at the plant). It has had
some elevated values. Jackson Paper is working to slow down some flow and provided some protection for this outfall_
Even though some of the values for this outfall have been elevated - they do not appear to be having an adverse effect on
Scott's Creek (based on pre- and post- sampling). AROIDWQ will recommend that monitoring be reduced at this outfall.
ARO does recommend that Jackson Paper move chip piles approximately 25 ft away from surface water conveyances.
This may help reduce some elevated values. As stated previously, ARO also recommends that any ilficit discharges be
identified.
In addition, AROIDWQ does not expect Jackson Paper (Josh) to obtain samples in the middle of the night. It is
appropriate to mark "no flow" during a month if samples cannot be obtained during regular business hours.

DRE: RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR INFORMATION REGARDING
NPDES STORMWATER PERMIT RENEWAL
JACKSON PAPER - SYLVA, NORTH CAROLINA
Ms. Ventaloro:
I am writing this letter in response to your August 25, 2016 and subsequent September 15, 2016 emails
regarding Jackson Paper's National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) stormwater permit
renewal. I hope to clarify the recent confusion regarding the permit renewal and sampling activities at the
facility.
Jackson Paper operates a recycle paper mill at 152 West Main Street in Sylva, Jackson County, North
Carolina. The facility currently operates under the NPDES Stormwater Individual Permit No. NCS000295 for
stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity effective on May 1, 2009 and ultimately expired on
April 30, 2012.
On November 3, 2011, prior to the expiration of the facility's NPDES permit in April 2012, Jackson Paper
formally submitted an NPDES Stormwater Permit Coverage Renewal Application to the North Carolina
Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR, now NCDEQ) Stormwater Permitting
Program. On March 20, 2012, the Asheville Regional Office/Division of Water Quality (ARO/DWQ)
conducted a NPDES Stormwater Permit Compliance Inspection at the site. In their final report dated April
13, 2012, the regional inspectors stated that the facility had performed ample sampling in the past 3 years
and ARO/DWQ would recommend to DWQ's Raleigh Central Office (RCO) that monitoring for all stormwater
outfalls be reduced or eliminated. Further, ARO/DWQ indicated that they would work with RCO to reduce
some of the required monitoring during the permit renewal process. The April 13, 2012 final inspection
report is included as Attachment A.
Ms. Ventaloro

I I
ENVIRQN
Based on the compliance inspection report findings and the facility's discussions with ARO/DWQ during the
inspection, Jackson Paper had the understanding that stormwater monitoring was no longer required for
stormwater discharge outfalls at the facility. Section B of the NPDES Stormwater Individual Permit No.
NCS000295 notes that Jackson Paper is required to complete a minimum of 36 analytical samplings in
accordance with the schedule specified in Table 2 of the NPDES permit unless otherwise directed by
NCDEQ's Division of Water Quality (DWQ). Table 2 of the NPDES permit outlines 36 monthly sampling
periods beginning with May 1, 2009 - May 31, 2009 and ending with April 1, 2012 - April 30, 2012.
Jackson Paper conducted the required analytical monitoring through the ending sampling period of April 1,
2012 - April 30, 2012 as outlined in Table 2 of the NPDES Stormwater Individual Permit No. NCS000295.
In the NPDES inspection report, ARO/DWQ directed the facility to continue to practice good housekeeping
and to make continued efforts to reduce pollutant contributions to surface water. In a continued effort to
minimize impacts to stormwater run-off and identify areas for updated control measurements, the facility
has continued to conduct semi-annual comprehensive site inspections. These semi-annual site evaluations
include the inspection of all storm water conveyances, including storm drain inlets and storm water
discharge outfalls for soil erosion; facility equipment and material handling areas for evidence of pollutants
entering the drainage system; and plant equipment and operational systems (secondary containment
structures) for conditions such as cracks or slow leaks in tanks, valves, piping, etc. which could cause
breakdowns or failures resulting in pollutant discharges to storm sewers or surface waters. Additionally,
Jackson Paper completed a relocation of the chip piles at the facility to approximately 25 feet from surface
water conveyances in response to the NPDES inspection report findings regarding ARO/DWQ's
recommendation. Other than the relocation of the chip piles, there have been no significant changes to the
facility's operation or site since the ARO/DWQ NPDES inspection report in March 2012.
Jackson Paper is currently working with Ramboli Environ, an environmental consultant to review the
facility's operations and procedures for the purposes of updating the current Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SWPPP). Once the NPDES permit renewal has been issued, we will incorporate the
requirements into the updated SWPPP.
We believe it would be beneficial to discuss the information provided above in further detail, so we would
like to setup a conference call with you. Please let us know if a call on Tuesday, September 27, 2016 at
2:OOPM EST would work with your schedule. We appreciate NCDEQ's review of this response. If you have
any questions regarding the information presented in this letter, please feel free to contact me by phone at
[phone] ext. 226 or by email at [e-mail].
Yours sincerely

This is.really helpful. I went back and forth between quarterly and biannual too. Scotts Creek is still impaired for FC.
think it's reasonable to require quarterly for this cycle since they have no data for the past 3-4 years, and because of
their past exceedances.
I will get in touch with the permittee prior to sending them the draft to discuss the lingering illicit discharge issue. I'll
explain that we may not feel comfortable reducing their monitoring down to quarterly unless this issue is addressed.
Thanks for your help!!

I agree with you all of your changes, except the more I think about it I am leaning towards quarterly instead of
biannual. We may want to go with quarterly sampling instead of biannual for at least another permit cycle, then
perhaps drop it down to biannual. Can you check to see if Scotts Crk is still listed as impaired? If it is, that
definitely gives us good reason to go with quarterly.
Regarding the illicit discharge, I agree with your thoughts also. However, since you are in contact with them, if
you call them and let them know we are considerinP adding something specifically to their permit about this
since it is a lingering compliance issue, then they will probably get their consultant to do it now to avoid this. It
looks like you are shooting to get this issued by 1 /201.7 so they have time to get this issue
investigated/documented.
Bottom line, if you call them and they don't get on it, then it can be addressed when/if they request ROS and/or
at their next inspection. We probably don't need to add a special condition to their permit, technically it is
already there. We (Susan and I) played nice with them on this issue, we called it out several times in the report
but did not send a NOV or call them non -compliant. We could have, but they really were doing a bang up job
working with their outfalls and sampling so we let it go with the understanding that they would deal with
this. It sounds like they have not, possibly because they have had personnel changes. If they don't act now, then
the next inspection should be a NOV stating this as a violation. Between you and me, I just worry about this
being overlooked down the road depending on who inspects this facility next and I figure since we have a carrot
(reduced monitoring) dangling in front of them, now is the time to push that issue again.

Linda,
Thanks for following up on this. Attached is a DRAFT version of the Jackson Paper renewal. I'd love to get your feedback
on the main changes I made. The changes are shown in blue text on the draft:
- Reduced sampling from monthly to twice/year; this is consistent with timber general permit.
- Eliminated BOD from analytical monitoring. I think'we're covered with just COD. Also consistent with timber
general permit.
- Removed benchmark value for turbidity, but require turbidity to be monitored at SDOs and in receiving water if
TSS exceedances trigger Tier 2. Also borrowed language from mining general permit stating that their
discharges cannot cause an instream water quality standard violation of turbidity. Especially important since
this is Trout water.
- Reduced TSS benchmark from 100 to 50 because that's the benchmark we now use for Trout waters.
- Changed Oil and Grease to Non -Polar Oil and Grease.
On the issue of illicit discharges, it doesn't appear they have addressed that since your 2012 report. Do you think it
would be appropriate to require they dye test/camera their old infrastructure lines BEFORE we approve any
Representative Outfall Status? They weren't 100% certain they would be requesting ROS approval —depends on what
their consultant finds. But now does seem like an good opportunity to work with their consultant on this issue. I'd
rather avoid writing this into their permit, but that is something I can do if needed.
I have to run out in a few minutes for a public hearing, but I will try to catch up with you later this week.
Thanks again!

Hi Julie.
Give me a call and we can talk about this. Keisha's letter has incorrect assumptions in it regarding sampling.
But given the timeframe between our last inspection and the permit rewrite, I would not fret over that too much,
there are several at blame; us being one.

Send me the draft if you have it worked up already. Bottom line from my recollection is, I would not
recommend that they no longer sample their outfalIs in the new permit, howe-Ver, a reduction to biannual or
quarterly should suffice. The outfall 001 in front could be considered for elimination or ROS, but the other two
I would not recommend for elimination only reductions. Whatever we use for timber now I would suggest for
this facility; not sure if that is biannual or quarterly.
The other thing I would drive home with them is the investigation of illicit discharges. If they have a consultant
working with them now, they need to get the consultant to dye test and/or camera all of that old industries lines
and drains. The reason we brought that up several times in the letter and report is because there were unknowns
at that site. Mostly in the building itself and as mentioned there may be a stream under this site and as we know
many old industries were built with direct discharges into streams, especially if they were built over a stream.
Keisha failed to mention that in her letter to you.
I have a meeting tomorrow morning but will be available after lunch if you want to give me a shout.

Hi Darlene,
Just left you a message. I wanted to make sure you were the right contact person in the ARO to help with this permit
renewal in Jackson County.
I'm working on drafting their permit now. I'll want your input on it before sharing it with the permittee. The issues
we're grappling with are years of benchmark exceedances, recent years of no monitoring at all, evidence from past RO
inspections that some of their issues with exceedances are likely attributed to runon from other properties, and CO's
long delay in completing their renewal. The permittee has a consultant who is currently reviewing their entire site, and
they may be requesting Representative Outfall Status.
I'm copying Linda W on this (hi, Linda!) because she was very familiar with this site and conducted the most recent
inspection a few years back. Hoping she can help us sort these issues out to some degree.

Kiesha and Josh,
Thank you for the conference call and getting us all on the same page. Here is the Representative Outfall Status request
form. From our conversation, my understanding is that you will resume analytical monitoring and provide that data to
me (as well as to the Central Files address on the monitoring report form) in support of a possible request for ROS
approval. Here is a data monitoring report form that you may use.
If you decide not to request ROS approval, it is still appropriate to continue monitoring under the conditions of your
expired, but still valid, permit. In the meantime, I am going to prepare a draft permit for Jackson Paper and discuss it
with the Asheville Regional Office. I will share the draft with you prior to publishing it for public comment.
I appreciate that you are eager to get your permit renewed, and I'd like to apologize again for this lengthy delay. I look
forward to working with you further.

NPDES STORMWATER PERMIT RENEWAL
]ACKSON PAPER — SYLVA, NORTH CAROLINA
Ms. Ventaloro:
I am writing this letter in response to your August 25, 2016 and subsequent September 15, 2016 emails
regarding Jackson Paper's National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) stormwater permit
renewal. I hope to clarify the recent confusion regarding the permit renewal and sampling activities at the
facility.
Jackson Paper operates a recycle paper mill at 152 West Main Street in Sylva, Jackson County, North
Carolina. The facility currently operates under the NPDES Stormwater Individual Permit No. NCS000295 for
Stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity effective on May 1, 2009 and ultimately expired on
April 30, 2012.
On November 3, 2011, prior to the expiration of the facility's NPDES permit in April 2012, Jackson Paper
formally submitted an NPDES Stormwater Permit Coverage Renewal Application to the North Carolina
Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR, now NCDEQ) Stormwater Permitting
Program. On March 20, 2012, the Asheville Regional Office/Division of Water Quality (ARO/DWQ)
conducted a NPDES. Stormwater Permit Compliance Inspection at the site. In their final report dated April
13, 2012, the regional inspectors stated that the facility had performed ample sampling in the past 3 years
and ARO/DWQ would recommend to DWQ's Raleigh Central Office (RCO) that monitoring for all stormwater
outfalls be reduced or eliminated. Further, ARO/DWQ indicated that they would work with RCO to reduce
some of the required monitoring during the permit renewal process. The April 13, 2012 final inspection
report is included as Attachment A.

NCS000295 notes that Jackson Paper is required to complete a minimum of 36 analytical samplings in
accordance with the schedule specified in Table 2 of the NPDES permit unless otherwise directed by
NCDEQ's Division of Water Quality (DWQ). Table 2 of the NPDES permit outlines 36 monthly sampling
periods beginning with May 1, 2009 - May 31, 2009 and ending with April 1, 2012 - April 30, 2012.
Jackson Paper conducted the required analytical monitoring through the ending sampling period of April 1,
2012 - April 30, 2012 as outlined in Table 2 of the NPDES Stormwater Individual Permit No. NCS000295.
In the NPDES inspection report, ARO/DWQ directed the facility to continue to practice good housekeeping
and to make continued efforts to reduce pollutant contributions to surface water. In a continued effort to
minimize impacts to stormwater run-off and identify areas for updated control measurements, the facility
has continued to conduct semi-annual comprehensive site inspections. These semi-annual site evaluations
include the inspection of all storm water conveyances, including storm drain inlets and storm water
discharge outfalls for soil erosion; facility equipment and material handling areas for evidence of pollutants
entering the drainage system; and plant equipment and operational systems (secondary containment
structures) for conditions such as cracks or slow leaks in tanks, valves, piping, etc. which could cause
breakdowns or failures resulting in pollutant discharges to storm sewers or surface waters. Additionally,
Jackson Paper completed a relocation of the chip piles at the facility to approximately 25 feet from surface
water conveyances in response to the NPDES inspection report findings regarding ARO/DWQ's
recommendation. Other than the relocation of the chip piles, there have been no significant changes to the
facility's operation or site since the ARO/DWQ NPDES inspection report in March 2012.
Jackson Paper is currently working with Ramboll Environ, an environmental consultant to review the
facility's operations and procedures for the purposes of updating the current Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SWPPP). Once the NPDES permit renewal has been issued, we will incorporate the
requirements into the updated SWPPP.
We believe it would be beneficial to discuss the information provided above in further detail, so we would
like to setup a conference call with you. Please let us know if a call on Tuesday, September 27, 2016 at
2:OOPM EST would work with your schedule. We appreciate NCDEQ's review of this response. If you have
any questions regarding the information presented in this letter, please feel free to contact me by phone at
[phone] ext. 226 or by email at [e-mail].

Dear Mr. Murphy:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
This letter is in follow-up to the NPDES Stormwater Permit Compliance Inspection conducted on
March 20, 2012. Linda Wiggs and I, of the Asheville Regional Office /Division of Water Quality
(ARO/DWQ), appreciated the assistance of Josh Carnes, Environmental Manager, during review
of the site. The facility was found to be in compliance with permit NCS000295.
Enclosed is a copy of the Compliance Inspection Report, which contains additional observations
and comments for your reference.
ARO/DWQ recommends that the chip piles be moved approximately 25 feet from surface water
conveyances. This may help to alleviate elevated benchmark values when sampling. Due to the
older infrastructure at the plant, Jackson Paper should continue to evaluate any illicit discharges.
ARO/DWQ will work with DWQ's Raleigh Central Office through the renewal process to try to
reduce some of the required monitoring. Jackson Paper has performed ample sampling in the past
3 years and DWQ appreciates the efforts made at the plant. In order for this to be successful,
Jackson Paper should continue to practice good housekeeping and make continued efforts to
reduce pollutant contributions to surface waters.

Inspection Summary: `
Susan Wilson and Linda Wiggs (ARO/DWQ) met Josh Carnes of Jackson Paper on March 20, 2012. Jackson Paper is
currently under an individual stormwater permit (effective May 1, 2009) which requires analytical and qualitative
monitoring on a monthly basis. Jackson Paper has diligently performed their required monitoring.
They have also conducted upstream and downstream monitoring, as well as an upstream DOT culvert that flows through
the site. Although some benchmarks have been exceeded - there is no direct correlation to instream values. Jackson
Paper has made modifications to the site to prevent excess runoff that may have been contributing to the elevated values
(particularly near the ditch line at the west of the property near the DOT culvert).
SDO-001 - this outfall is essentially the front parking area of the facility. There is a small area that may have some
exposure - but the majority of stormwater contribution comes from the drainage and runoff of the main highway that runs
in front of the plant_ After conversations with Josh, there is not an adequate way to eliminate the highway runoff that this
outfall is receiving. ARO/DWQ will recommend to the Central Office that monitoring for this outfall be reduced or
eliminated - and good housekeeping practices be maintained in this area. This outfall has had some exceedances - that
were likely attributed to road runoff and/or the filter that was used in the drop inlet.
SDO-002 - this outfall is basically a previous drainage/stream that has•been culverted beneath the plant. This outfall has
only had a few turbidity exceedances in the past 2 years. DWQ/ARO will recommend to the Central Office that monitoring
for this outfall be reduced or eliminated.
SDO-003 - this outfall receives the majority of flow around the chip piles (which are used for fuel at the plant). It has had
some elevated values. Jackson Paper is working to slow down some flow and provided some protection for this outfall.
Even though some of the values for this outfall have been elevated - they do not appear to be having an adverse effect on
Scott's Creek (based on pre- and post- sampling). ARO/DWQ will recommend that monitoring be reduced at this outfall.
ARO does recommend that Jackson Paper move chip piles approximately 25 ft away from surface water conveyances.
This may help reduce some elevated values. As stated previously, ARO also recommends that any illicit discharges be
identified.
In addition, ARO/DWQ does not expect Jackson Paper (Josh) to obtain samples in the middle of the night. It is
appropriate to mark "no flow" during a month if samples cannot be obtained during regular business hours.

FW: Renewal of NPDES Stormwater Permit NCS000295
Kiesha,
I've updated our database with the information Josh provided. Since you are now the permit contact, I will address
further questions to you.
A few questions I have for you at this point are:
1) Has the facility continued to monitor for the parameters required by Permit NCS000295? We have monitoring
data up through April 2013, but none after that. If so, please provide that to me (scanned copies are fine).
2) Have there been any significant changes to the facility's operation and/or site since March 2012, which is when
we last conducted an inspection of the site? One of the reasons I ask this is to determine whether changes
(additions/deletions) to the monitoring requirement are called for.
3) One of the recommendations made by DWQ back in 2012 was for the facility to move its chip piles at least 25
feet away from any surface water conveyances in order to help reduce elevated levels of turbidity, TSS,
COD. Was that done?
4) One thing I'd like to discuss with you at your convenience would be whether it is appropriate to re -start (or
continue, if that's the case) instream water quality monitoring upstream and downstream. I believe this was
initiated to help determine the source of runoff contributing to benchmark exceedances. I have a little more
information about this which I can share with you.
Thank you in advance for your assistance as we work through this permitting process.

Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under NPDES Permit NCS000295. This
permit expires on April 30, 2012. To assure consideration for continued coverage under your
individual permit, you must apply to the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) for renewal of your permit.
Enclosed you will find an individual permit Renewal Application Form, Supplemental Information
request, and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Certification for your facility.
Filing the application form along with the requested supplemental information will constitute your
application for renewal of this permit. Until your permit renewal is completed and you receive a new
permit, please continue to comply with all conditions and monitoring requirements in your expired
NPDES stormwater permit.
The application and supplement must be completed and returned to DWQ by November 3, 2011,
Failure to request renewal within this time period will result in delay of your permit renewal and may
result in a civil assessment. Discharge of stormwater from your facility without coverage under a valid
stormwater NPDES permit would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and could result in
assessments of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day.
If you have any questions regarding permit renewal procedures please contact Brian Lowther of the

Summary of Semi -Annual Visual Monitoring Results
6/18/09 Semi -Annual inspection of the waste water treatment area, boiler polymer
storage, outside paper storage, truck dock oil tank, shipping dock area, HD chest area,
mill water (north/south basin), rail dock, drum storage, bottom ash storage, plastic
storage, kerosene tank and diesel tank areas. These areas were observed to be in good
condition. The recycle biocide tank area had a small amount of loose plastic that was
removed. The secondary containment for the gasoline tank was bent but the unit would
still function if a leak occurred. There were areas where plastic had blown from the
boiler conveyors and facility personnel were used to clean these areas.
11/17/09 Semi -Annual inspection of the waste water treatment area, boiler polymer
storage, outside paper storage, truck dock oil tank, shipping dock area, HD chest area,
recycle biocide tank, mill water (north/south basin), rail dock, drum storage, bottom ash
storage, plastic storage, kerosene tank, diesel tank, and gasoline tank (bent) areas. These
areas were observed to be in good condition. It was noted that saw dust was migrating
from the fuel piles but that the cat tails, ditches and BMP's that have been installed
around the fuel yard were stopping the sawdust from reaching the drains in the area.
Also noted was soil erosion and sedimentation around the area where water enters the
property from a state tile crossing Chipper Curve Rd. from Allen St. There was also
visible erosion along the railroad tracks from water crossing Harold St. and running along
the rail bed. Both of these areas drain to Outfall 93 and have been noted in Tier 1
inspections. Additional samples from these areas were taken starting in September 2009
for permit analytical parameters and additional monitoring has been performed to show
the amount of additional contamination entering the Jackson Paper site from upgradient,
offsite sources. Jackson Paper was asked to take additional samples by Linda Wiggs
after Tier 1 investigations showed that the facility was experiencing offsite pollution
entering the property.
6/24/10 Semi -Annual inspection of the waste water treatment area, boiler polymer
storage, outside paper storage, truck dock oil tank, shipping dock area, HD chest area,
mill water (north/south basin), rail dock, drum storage, bottom ash storage, plastic
storage, kerosene tank, diesel tank, and gasoline tank (bent) areas. These areas were
observed to be in good condition. The recycle biocide tank had plastic inside the
secondary containment that was removed. The state tile that enters to Outfall #3 is
partially blocked due to sediment that has built up behind the rip rap that NCDOT placed
in front of tile to catch sediment. NCDOT was contacted about the condition of the tile.

Summary of Monthly Visual Monitoring Results
A monthly qualitative monitoring report was performed while taking samples at
each outfall. Parameters or indicators of storm water pollution that were observed for
each outfall consisted of outfall description, water color, odor, clarity, floating solids,
suspended solids, foam, oil sheen, deposition at outfall, erosion at outfall, and other
obvious indicators of stormwater pollution.
Outfall #1 area consists of a parking area for employees and visitors that has about 20
parking spaces, loading and unloading of delivery trucks to and from the facility at 3
docks, a truck staging/turning area, grass lawns and island separating the facility from
business highway 23/74/107 (Main Street) except where vehicles can turn into the facility
at either end of the parking area. The street is sloped so that the water from the street for
approximately 50 yards to the north of the facility to about 75 yards to the south of the
facility runs to a drain in the parking area. The total length of drainage from the street is
approximately 150 to 200 yards long by 25 yards wide. The flow from the street is
approximately 80% of the flow to Outfall # 1. The color is typically gray to black and
varies from light to dark in tint. There has been no observed odor at this outfall. Clarity
has ranged on a scale from 1 to 10 with 10 being very cloudy. Floating solids have
typically ranged from 1 to 5 on a 10 point scale with 10 being the surface covered in
floating solids. Suspended solids have ranged from 1 to 10 with 10 being extremely
muddy. Foam has not been observed at this outfall. Oil sheen has been noted
occasionally but it is typically very light. Deposition has been noted as road
grit/dust/sand throughout the parking area coming from the street and has been cleaned
and removed from the area on a regular basis. The road grit/dust/sand has been listed as
other obvious indicators of stormwater pollution and is related to snow and ice events in
the winter with NCDOT using salt, brine and sand/chat mixtures. The Road
grit/dust/sand is also present during the remainder of the year and continually deposits in
areas across the parking lot.
Outfall #2 drains an area consisting of building roof drains from the warehouse and paper
machine building roofs and a drain that collects water from a parking area between the
paper machine building and around waste water treatment. The outfall also drains ground
water from under the facility due to the pipe structure being level to or below the water
table. This outfall has continuous flowing water. The color has been noted as clear.
Odor has been recorded as having an earthy or musty smell. Clarity has been recorded
from 1 to 5 (on a scale of 10, see above). Floating and suspended solids have been noted
from 1 to 3 (on a scale of 10, see above). Foam and oil sheen, as well as deposition and
erosion, have not been recorded for this outfall. The three turbidity exceedances that
were recorded since the issuance of the last permit are thought to be a result of reduced
flow from this outfall at the time of sampling. One oil and grease exceedance was noted
at this outfall since the issuance of the last permit. The exceedance occurred while
maintenance work was being performed on the roof and part of the roof was being
replaced. All other storm events that were monitored at this outfall were non -detect for
oil and grease.

Outfall #3 drains the areas around the boiler and sawdust/fuel receiving and storage,
bottom ash storage and boiler ponds, the recycle pulp facility, cardboard bale receiving
dock and storage, several masonry storage buildings for spare equipment and the railroad
tracks that service the facility. Color has typically had reddish to brown tint and ranges
from light to dark. The odor was typically noted as earthy or musty. Clarity and
suspended solids ranged from 1 to 10 (on a scale of 10, see above) and floating solids
were typically 1-4 (on a scale of 10, see above). Foam and oil sheen have not been
observed at this outfall. Other obvious signs of stonnwater pollution have been noted
and monitored for this outfall, including the following:
• A drain tile crosses Chipper Curve road and enters the facility next to the fuel
storage piles. This stormwater comes from a few houses that have gravel roads
and garden areas onto Allen Street and then down a bank to Chipper Curve Road.
This stormwater stream is causing erosion and sedimentation around the area
where the stormwater enters our facility's property. In June 2009 NCDOT was
contacted about the situation and they placed a section of corrugated pipe to the
drain box on Allen Street that originally ran down the bank and was eroding the
area. NCDOT placed rip rap at the bottom of the the where it discharged to
Chipper Curve Rd. They also placed rip rap at the end of the state tile coming
from Chipper Curve onto Jackson Paper property. Additional samples for permit
parameters were taken at this site and are being submitted as Attachment 4_
• Further inspection of the drainage area for Outfall #3 showed signs of sediment
and erosion along the railroad tracks at Harold Street. Water in this area also
comes across Chipper Curve road and runs down Harold Street until it reaches the
rail crossing where it flows down the tracks towards drains that discharge to
Outfall 43. Samples for permit parameters have also been taken and are being
submitted in Attachment 4.

Summary of Best Management Practices
Jackson Paper has utilized several different BMPs at Outfalls # 1 and #3 in order to meet
the benchmarks for the facility. At Outfall #1 the facility has used drain filter inserts that
hang below the storm drain and filter debris and sediment as it passes through the filter
since February 2010. The filter handles low to moderate water flow well and a slight
reduction of TSS and Turbidity can be achieved. The parking area for Outfall 41 has
been cleaned and debris is removed on a regular basis by maintenance crews. In
addition,Jackson Paper has hired a local paving company to brush the parking area from
time to time with a street sweeper when the lot becomes too dirty to clean by hand. Due
to the amount of water entering this Outfall from offsite we believe we are not seeing the
full effects that our BMPs (i.e. drain filters and cleaning) should have on our discharges.
Outfall 43 has also seen the implementation of BMPs throughout the drainage area. After
working with NCDOT to repair and better construct the piping system from Allen Street
to Chipper Curve Road and the installation of additional rip rap at the outlet of the tile,
Jackson Paper also added silt fences, rip rap and drain covers around the fuel storage area
beginning in July 2009. ` The additional silt fences were placed along with rip rap to slow
the flow of water corning from Chipper Curve. There were several places where this was
implemented to add depth and settling time to the drainage ditches. The drain covers
were installed to insure that any plastic or sawdust that did reach the drainage ditch
would not make it to Outfall #3. These units also serve as an additional filter for the
water because the material is a mesh style silt fence and we used several layers in each
location. Due to the high concentrations of monitored pollutants in this NCDOT
discharge generated offsite, we believe we are not seeing the full effects that our BMPs
(i.e., rip rap and silt fences) should have on our discharges. If the high concentrations of
pollutants entering our property from the NCDOT discharge were not present, we believe
our facility would meet the benchmark limits in our permit with the already established
BMPs at the facility.
Significant Changes in Industrial Activities
Jackson Paper has not made significant process changes or changes in industrial
activities. Two process water tanks at the waste water treatment facility were replaced
with new stainless steel tanks in 2011. A Hydrocal flotation unit was installed in 2009
parallel to a smaller unit that was already in use.

Jackson Paper Manufacturing
■ Privately held company, located in Sylva, NC,
founded in 1927
■ Manufactures 100% recycled corrugated
medium paper (SIC code 2631)
■ Industrial wastewater is recycled through
system (eliminated their NPDES discharge)
■ Discharge on -site only due to stormwater
runoff
Company is trying to be sustainable
Receives recycled cardboard from Ingles, WaiMart, WM, etc
Using chips/sawdust for boiler to operate plant
Went to total industrial recycle on wastewater
2

Jackson Paper Manufacturing
i
Makes cardboard/heavyweight paper mainly for the NC furniture industry — tries to
keep products local.
3

Why an Individual Permit?
x.
■ Has had Individual Permit since 1/7/02 (no
stormwater permit prior to this)
3
■ Stores chips/sawdust to use as boiler fuel
■ Doesn't quite fit under NCG05O00O (Paper
products) and has characteristics of
NCG21O0O0 (Timber products, due to
sawdust storage)
First application — 2000; issued 2002 (only records I could find)
NCG05 — no analytical monitoring
NCG21 —timber products/sawdust piles, more analytical monitoring (COD, TSS, pH)
4

What are the Individual Permit
Requirements?
■2002 Individual Permit:
—Analytical: BOD, COD, TSS,
rainfall, etc. (quarterly)
—Qualitative (standard; 2/year)
—Vehicle maintenance (standard)
No tiered response for this permit in 2002 — weren't doing that yet
5

r� What are the Individual Permit
Requirements?
■ 2009 Individual Permit:
—Analytical: TSS, O/G, COD, BOD,
pH, Turbidity (monthly with
benchmarks)
—Qualitative (standard; monthly)
r
—Vehicle Maintenance (standard)
Monthly monitoring put in permit — not just as Tiered response
More requirements than NCG21 (which has TSS, COD, pH)

How many SDOs?
■ 3 Stormwater Discharge Outfalls:
— SDO 001 — at front parking area
— SDO 002 — at historically culverted underdrain that
flows under plant
— SDO 003 — by RR tracks that drains back of site,
including historic wetlands and saw dust piles
■ Voluntarily monitoring:
— Upstream, downstream, DOT culvert, upstream at RR
tracks
■ In general, site drains north to south
So — doing monitoring at 7 sites!

Next steps....
U ■ Get Ken to start work on renewal...'cause it's
expired..
■ Evaluate data to determine if there is an
impact to receiving waters (Scott's Creek)
• ■ If no correlation, reduce monitoring, but
continue up and downstream monitoring on
i Scott's Creek
---- p ■ Continue working with them on good
Eli housekeeping
Scott's Creek —imp a i red for Fecal —Jackson Paper doesn't contribute to that
Difficult to get a "pure" up and downstream point around the site
Brief perusal of the data does not indicate a real correlation between blips at site and
blips downstream on Scotts' Creek (of which there haven't been many — some
turbidity due to Trout class/ 10 NTU)
ARO will advocate removal of O/G and BOD monitoring and reduction of others

1. Special Issues:
o Added a new section on Special Conditions in Part I1, Section E to comply with
federal regulations requiring electronic submittal of discharge monitoring
reports.
o Reduced sampling from monthly to quarterly.
o The Oil & Grease parameter is changed to Non -polar Oil & Grease [EPA
Method 1664 (SGT-HEM)] for consistency with other permits. The benchmark
for Non -polar Oil & Grease is 15 mg/L.
o Eliminated BOD from analytical monitoring. Retain COD.
o Removed benchmark for turbidity, but require turbidity to be monitored at

SDOs and in receiving water if TSS exceedances trigger Tier 2.
o Reduced TSS benchmark from 100 mg/L to 50 mg/L for consistency with
current practice for Trout waters.
o Requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Plan (SPPP) have been updated in
Part I1, Section A.
o Permittee will be required to collect analytical and qualitative monitoring
samples during "measurable storm events" as defined in Part 11, Section B. This
term is different from the "representative storm event' in earlier permits.
o Civil and administrative penalty amounts have been updated to reflect current
federal law in Part III, Section A, 2(b) and (g).
o In cover letter to permittee, requested they provide information regarding
whether they have investigated their site for illicit discharges from old
infrastructure. This action was called for in DWQ/ARO's 2012 letter. We will
delay issuance of the renewed permit until this has been satisfied.
o ARO-DWR staff Linda Wiggs was familiar with this facility and had conducted the
most recent inspection in 2012. CO-DEMLR staff conferred with her prior to
development of this draft permit. CO staff incorporated ARO-DWR
recommendations into this draft permit and cover letter. A copy of the
correspondence with ARO-DWR is attached to this staff report request.
2. Changes at the facility since previous permit:
o They reported relocating the chip piles to approximately 25 feet from surface
water conveyances in response to DWQ/ARO March 2012 inspection.
3. Receiving_ Waters: Scott Creek (Class C; Tr) - Impaired for Fecal Coliform; no TMDL.
4. Threatened and Endangered Species w f in 2 miles:
o Appalachian Elktoe (mussel)
o Smoky Mountain Covert (snail)
5. Analytical and for qualitative monitoring during this past permit cycle: Numerous
benchmark exceedances; monthly monitoring for 3-year permit cycle. Data can be
viewed in Laserfiche at: http://portal.ncdenr.or rou_p/lr/stormwater-dmrs (search by
permit number). Note: Permittee stopped analytical monitoring in 2012 after their
permit expired.
b. Permit. Facility, and Owner Contacts updates:
® Confirmed contact information with permittee and updated BIMS if necessary.
® Obtained e-mail addresses for each contact and updated BIMS.
7. Annual Fees:
® Confirmed in BIMS that permittee does not owe fees.

Recommendations:
Based on the documents reviewed, the application information received on November 7,
2011 is sufficient to issue an Individual NPDES Stormwater Permit (pending response to
2012 ARO inspection directive to identify illicit discharges).
Central Office recommends reissuance of this permit with the changes to monitoring
parameters described above. The proposed draft permit reflects the most recent individual
stormwater permit template and boiler plate language, incorporating revisions that are
similar to the industrial general permits issued during 2012-16.

Subject: RE: Friday site visit
Hi Julie,
To follow up on our phone conversation yesterday. I am ok with issuing Jackson Papers permit as drafted. Also
I mentioned I think they put a lot of effort/expense into the consultant work and it appears the consultants did a
good job. However, 1 am concerned that they did not completely encompass/evaluate all of the potential illicit
discharges, i.e. floor drains/outfalls in or around containment structure and treatment units. They focused on
restrooms, sinks and it sounded like floor drains adjacent to these areas. The area I specifically think they may
need to further evaluate because it may have potential discharge points that could deliver a pollutant load is by
their water treatment system and storage areas, which have SW drains associated with SDO 1. That being said.
SDO 1 would not suffice for ROS and I can get back out there and look at this area of their facility.
Have a good weekend,

Linda and Rick,
I'm just picking up this permit again and reviewing their dye test report. Since they appear to have addressed our
concerns about failing infrastructure, and they've resumed sampling, I'd like to go ahead and issue their new
permit. Are okay with that? Or do you think we ought to do a site visit before issuing the renewed permit? I don't
think I'll be able to get back out to Asheville that soon, but you're welcome to go without me.

They haven't submitted a Representative Outfail Status request yet (they needed to collect some recent sampling data
first). Would it make sense to wait for the site visit until they've submitted the ROS request?
Your feedback is appreciated!

Just wanted to check in with you regarding our site visit scheduled for noon tomorrow (Friday). For now,
we're still planning on coming. But we may have to wait and see how the weather shapes up in the

Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under NPDES Permit NCS000295. This
permit expires on April 30, 2012. To assure consideration for continued coverage under your
individual permit, you must apply to the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) for renewal of your permit.
Enclosed you will find an individual permit Renewal Appfication Form, Supplemental Information
request, and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Certification for your facility.
Filing the application form along with the requested supplemental information will constitute your
application for renewal of this permit. Until your permit renewal is completed and you receive a new
permit, please continue to comply with all conditions and monitoring requirements in your expired
NPDES stormwater permit.
The application and supplement must be completed and returned to DWQ by November 3, 2011.
Failure to request renewal within this time period will result in delay of your permit renewal and may
result in a civil assessment. Discharge of stormwater from your facility without coverage under a valid
stormwater NPDES permit would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and could result in
assessments of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day.
If you have any questions regarding permit renewal procedures please contact Brian Lowther of the
Stormwater Permitting Unit at (919)-807-6368 or [e-mail].

RE: Response to Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit
Jackson Paper Manufacturing Company (NCS000295)
Sytva, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Larsen:
We received the draft NPDES Stormwater Permit and your letter dated February 20,
2009. In addition, there was an inspection of our facility conducted on December 16,
2008 by Linda Wiggs of the Asheville Regional office. Ms. Wiggs raised some concerns
and, in response to her concerns, we conducted sampling at Outfall #3. Based on the
inspection and follow-up from the inspection, we offer the following comments on the
draft permit:
1) As we understand, the terms of the draft permit are based on BOD and COD
sampling conducted and reported in 2005. The draft permit requires extensive
monthly qualitative and quantitative monitoring of the Outfalls. However, as
mentioned earlier, we sampled Outfall 93 for BOD and COD in January 2009 and
were below the proposed benchmark concentrations for both parameters.
Therefore, we believe additional monitoring is not required.
However, Jackson Paper can agree to monitor Outfall #3 monthly for 6 months.
If the results are below the proposed benchmark concentrations during that period,
we request DWQ to reduce both qualitative and quantitative monitoring from
monthly to semi-annual monitoring thereafter.

` '11% Mr. Cory Larsen March 10, 2009
2) According to the draft, qualitative and analytical monitoring is required monthly
at each stormwater discharge outfall. Based on previous sampling results and the
types of activities conducted in Drainage Areas 1 and 2, we believe the qualitative
and quantitative monitoring for Outfalls #1 and #2 should be reduced to semi-
annual monitoring.
3) In response to your comment about Outfall #3 Special Conditions, we have
demonstrated that because of our best management practices (BMPs), the results
of our sampling for (BOD and COD) were below the proposed benchmark
concentrations. Jackson Paper will continue to implement these BMPs for this
drainage area. However, we believe at this time there is no reason for us to apply
limits/BMPs beyond those already in place.
Based on our review, we strongly believe that the draft permit should be revised. Please
contact me at [phone] if you have any questions or need any additional
information.

Dear Sirs:
On December 16, 2008, an inspection of your facility located in Sylva N.C. was conducted to
determine if requirements of Stormwater Permit NCS000295 were being followed. Present
during the inspection was Tim Coggins.
The following observations were noted during the Division of Water Quality inspection:
Qualitative Monitoring
Qualitative monitoring needs to be conducted and recorded in accordance with the permit
requirements, semi-annually.
Analytical MonitorinjZ
Analytical monitoring needs to be conducted and recorded in accordance with the`peimit f_
requirements. Results from 2005 at outfall #3 are a concern. During the next representative
storm event, please perform analytical monitoring at outfall #3 and supply results to my attention
at the address listed in the footer.
Non-Stormwater Discharge
Documentation for the permanent closure of historic discharge points could not' be located.;=..:• .
Please reevaluate for the presence of non-stormwater discharge. A dye'test should fie sufficient,
however you will need to be in contact with me during this process.,

OutfallfDrainage #1: Outfall 41 has not been monitored. Site Drainage Map indicates this area
as #I. A link to the pump house is depicted on the Site Drainage Map. During the inspection,
this drainage area appeared to be only the southern section of drainage area #1, which is the
Main Office parking lot and a shipping area: with possible added drainage coming from Main
Street. It is unclear where the northern section of drainage area #1 drains or if the pump house is
connected. Please evaluate this and clarify. If the outfall is only receiving the southern section of
drainage area #1, please perform the following tasks: clean out the stormdrain, then perform oil
and grease analysis during the next representative rainfall event and submit results to me. It is
possible this outfall would be better protected by installation of a pillow device to collect
sediment and parking lot petroleum residues. Any pillow device deployed would need quarterly
replacement.
Outfall/Drainage #2: Outfall 42 is monitored from a fairly deep storm drain structure on the
south side of the main building. This is the drainage area where non-stormwater discharge
evaluations need to focus. During the inspection there was considerable water in the storm drain
absent considerable rainfall. This structure makes for difficult monitoring; please discuss
qualitative and analytical monitoring techniques at this location.
Outfall/Drainage 93: Outfall 43 is monitored from a manhole at the south end of drainage area
#3 adjacent to the railroad tracks. This outfall receives drainage from the piles of sawdust, which
are used for fuel. This outfall has had elevated analytical results that are a concern, specifically
the BOD and COD results. Please perform analytical monitoring at this outfall during the next
representative rainfall event and submit results to me. Due to the sawdust piles in this drainage,
it is likely the BOD and COD will continue to remain elevated. Therefore methods to reduce
these parameters elevated results will likely need to be explored.
Response submittal of items noted above is required within 60 days of the date of the letter. If
you or your staff has any questions, please call me at 828-296-4653.

Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit
Permit No. NCS000295
Jackson Paper Manufacturing Company - Sylva
Jackson County
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. Please review the draft permit
and special conditions for Outfail 003 in this letter very carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the
conditions and requirements.
The draft permit contains the following significant changes from this facility's current permit:
Analytical monitoring changes:
1. Analytical monitoring parameters have been added to this permit including pH, oil & grease, and turbidity.
Total suspended solids, biochemical oxygen demand and chemical oxygen demand have been maintained.
2. Analytical monitoring has been set to monthly during a representative storm event as defined in Part U
Section B. The permittee must also document the total precipitation for each event. .
3. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring have been added to this draft permit. Exceedances of benchmark
values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping,
and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program.
4. You are required to conduct all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring during representative storm
events as defined in Part 11 Section B. Qualitative monitoring is required at every outfall regardless of
representative outfall status.
5. In the event that this permit expires, you are responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is
issued. See Footnote 1 of Tables 1, 4, and 5.
6. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall parameter is
still -required in this permit, however.)
7.' Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi-annually. This requirement appears in all
Individual Stormwater permits; however it only applies to facilities that do vehicle maintenance. If the
facility begins vehicle maintenance during the permitted timeframe then the requirements in Section ILD
shall apply.
Other permit changes:
1. The duration of the discharge permit has been reduced to three years instead of five years.
2. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been specified in Part 11 Section
A. The plan must also be updated annually to include a list of significant spills and to certify that the outfalls
do not contain non-stormwater discharges.

3. Additional guidance is provided about the Site Plan requirements. The site map must now identify if the
receiving stream is impaired and if it has a TMDh established. It must also describe potential pollutants in
each outfall. The map requirements are stated more explicitly. And, the site plan must contain a list of
significant spills that have occurred in the past three years and also must certify that the outfalls have been
inspected to ensure that they do not contain non-stormwater discharges. Additional information is provided
in Part II Section A.
4. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Management Plan have been specified in Part II Section A.
More details regarding secondary containment are provided.
5. The facility must now implement a semi-annual Facility Inspection Program of the site's stormwater
management controls as specified in Part 11 Section A.
6. Information regarding the No Exposure Exclusion has been added to this draft permit. If industrial
materials and activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described in 40 CFR §122.26(g), the
facility may qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES stormwater discharge permit requirements.
Additional information is provided in Part I Section A.
Outfall 003 Special Conditions:
Based on the facility inspection performed December 16, 2008 and review of Outfall 003 analytical data, which
includes four consecutive exceedances of oxygen demand benchmarks, discharge from the sawdust stockpile has
characteristics similar to wastewater, not stormwater. Thus upon expiration of this permit in 2012, discharge
from Outfall 003 may not be re -permitted by DWQ as stormwater.
Upon issuance of the final permit DWQ will require Jackson Paper Manufacturing Company to take steps to
cease discharge of polluted flows at Outfall 003 in accordance with the following schedule:
1.. During the first year of the permit, Jackson Paper Manufacturing Company shall evaluate options (e.g.
prevention, collection, treatment, etc of sawdust pile discharges) and develop a plan to implement the
selected corrective actions or BMPs;
2. In year two of the permit, implementation of the plan;
3. In year three of the permit, demonstrate compliance with stormwater benchmarks under the new
operations of the plan.
In an effort to ensure compliance with the above schedule, DWQ will perform semi-annual facility inspections
and allocate increased attention to Jackson Paper for the duration of the permit.
Please submit any comments to me no later than thirty (30) days following your receipt of the draft. Comments
should be sent to the address listed at the bottom of page 1. If no adverse comments are received from the public
or from you, this permit will likely be issued in approximately one month. If you have any questions or
comments concerning this draft permit, contact me at [phone] or cory.larsen®ncmail.net.

PART II MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR
PERMITTED DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
The Permittee shall develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, herein after referred to as
the Plan. This Plan shall be considered public information in accordance with Part III, Standard
Conditions, Section E, Paragraph 3 of this general permit. The Plan shall include, at a minimum,
the following items:
Site Plan. The site plan shall provide a description of the physical facility and the
potential pollutant sources which may be expected to contribute to contamination of
stormwater discharges. The site plan shall contain the following:
(a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle map or appropriately drafted
equivalent map), showing the facility's location in relation to transportation
routes and surface waters, the name of the receiving water(s) to which the
stormwater outfall(s) discharges, or if the discharge is to a municipal separate
storm sewer system, the name of the municipality and the ultimate receiving
waters, and accurate latitude and longitude of the point(s) of discharge. The
general location map (or alternatively the site map) shall identify whether each
receiving water is impaired (on the state's 303(d) list of impaired waters) or is
located in a watershed for which a TMDL has been established, and what the
parameter(s) of concern are.
North Carolina's 303(d) List can be found here:
http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/tmd]/Gencral_303d.htm#Downloads
North Carolina TMDL documents can be found here:
http:l/h2o.enr.state.ne.us/tmdl/TMI)L list.htru Final TMDLs.
(b) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities,
outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes; and
waste disposal practices. A narrative description of the potential pollutants which
could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall.
(c) A site map drawn to scale (including a distance legend) showing: the site property
boundary, the stormwater discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent surface
waters and wetlands, industrial activity areas (including storage of materials_
disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads), site
topography, all drainage features an.d structures, drainage areas for each outfall,
direction of flow in each drainage area, industrial activities occurring in each
drainage area, buildings, existing I3MPs, and impervious surfaces. The site map
must indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious.
(d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred at the facility
during the three (3) previous years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate
spill impacts.
Part II Page I of 10

Permit No. NCS000295
(e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of
non-stormwater discharges. The certification statement will be signed in
accordance with the requirements found in Part I11, Standard Conditions, Section
B. Paragraph 5. The permittee shall re -certify annually that the stormwater
outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges.
2. Storm-,vater Management Plan. The stormwater management plan shall contain a
narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or
minimize the exposure of significant materials to stormwater, including structural and
nonstructural measures. The stormwater management plan, at a minimum, shall
incorporate the following:
(a) Feasibility Study. A review of the technical and economic feasibility of changing
the methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure
of materials and processes to stormwater. Wherever practical, the permittee shall
prevent exposure of all storage areas, material handling operations, and
manufacturing or fueling operations. In areas where elimination of exposure is
not practical, the stormwater management plan shall document the feasibility of
diverting the stormwater runoff away from areas of potential contamination.
(b) Secondary Containment Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is
required for: bulk storage of liquid materials; storage in any amount of Section
313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA)
water priority chemicals; and storage in any amount of hazardous substances, in
order to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. A table
or summary of all such tanks and stored materials and their associated secondary
containment areas shall be maintained. If the secondary containment devices are
connected directly to stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be
controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices (which shall be
secured closed with a locking mechanism), and any stormwater that accumulates
in the containment area shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam,
outfall staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the
accumulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to
be uncontaminated by the material stored within the containment area. Records
documenting the individual making the observation, the description of the
accumulated stormwater. and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a
period of five years.
(e) 13MP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management
Practices (BMP) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs
shall be based on the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute
significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected
through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a
written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the
selected site BMI's. The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually.
PartII Page 2 of I 0

Permit No. NCS000295
3, Spill Prevention and Response Plan. The Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP)
shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials
inventory of the facility. Facility personnel (or the team) responsible for implementing the
SPRP shall be identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and dated
by each individual acknowledging their responsibilities for the plan. A responsible
person shall be on -site at all times during facility operations that have the potential to
contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or exposure of materials associated with the
facility operations. The SPRP must be site stormwater specific. Therefore, an oil Spill
Prevention Control and Countermeasure plan (SPCC) may be a component of the SPRP,
but may not be sufficient to completely address the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The
common elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may be incorporated by reference into the
SPRP.
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative
maintenance and good housekeeping program shall be developed. The program shall list
all stormwater control systems, stormwater discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent
surface waters and wetlands, industrial activity areas (including material storage areas,
material handling areas, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and
haul roads), all drainage features and structures, and existing structural BMPs. The
program shall establish schedules of inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping
activities of stormwater control systems, as well as facility equipment, facility areas, and
facility systems that present a potential for stormwater exposure or stormwater pollution.
Inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of these areas shall
be incorporated into the program. Timely compliance with the established schedules for
inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping shall be recorded in writing and maintained
in the SPPP.
Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill response
and cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's operations
that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff, Facility personnel (or team)
responsible for implementing the training shall be identified, and their annual training
shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained.
6. Responsible Party. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall identify a specific
position(s) responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and
revision to the Plan. Responsibilities for all components of the Plan shall be documented
and position assignments provided.
7. Plan Amendment. The permittee shall amend the Plan whenever there is a change in
design, construction. operation, or maintenance which has a significant effect on the
potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of the Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. The annual
update shall include an updated list of'significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the
previous three years, or the notation that no spills have occurred. The annual update shall
include re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence
of non-stormwater discharges. Each annual update shall include a re-evaluation of the
Part 11 Page 3 of 10

Permit No. NCS000295
effectiveness of the BM1's listed in the BMP Summary of the Stormwater Management
Plan,
The Director may notify the permittee when the Plan does not meet one or more of the
minimum requirements of the permit. Within 30 days ol'such notice, the permittee shall
submit a time schedule to the Director for modifying the Plan to meet minimum
requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with
Part 111, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 5) to the Director that the changes
have been made.
Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur as
part of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a minimum on
a semi-annual schedule, once during the first half of the year (January to June), and once
during the second half (July to December), with at least 60 days separating inspection
dates (unless performed more frequently than semi-annually). These facility inspections
are different from, and in addition to, the stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring
required in Part I1 B and C of this permit.
9. Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Plan. Implementation of' the Plan
shall include documentation of all monitoring, measurements, inspections, maintenance
activities, and training provided to employees, including the log of the sampling data and
of actions taken to implement BMPs associated with the industrial activities, including

SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in "Table 1. All
analytical monitoring shall be performed during a representative storm event. The required
monitoring will result in 36 analytical samplings being conducted over the term of the permit at
each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). The permittee shall complete a minimum of 36
analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified below in Table 2 unless
otherwise directed by DWQ.
A representative storm event is a storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall
and that is preceded by at least 72 hours in which no storm event measuring greater than 0.1
inches has occurred. A single storm event may contain up to 10 consecutive hours of no
precipitation, For example, if it rains for 2 hours without producing any collectable discharge,
and then steps, a sample may be collected if a rain producing a discharge begins again within the
next 10 hours.

SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1. All
analytical monitoring shall be performed during a representative storm event. The required
monitoring will result in a minimum of tom' e analytical sarnp� llings�being conducted over the term of
the permit atcll stormwater discharge outfall (SDO).
A representative storm event is a storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall
and that is preceded by at least 72 hours in which no storm event measuring greater than 0.1
inches has occurred. A single storm event may contain up to 10 consecutive hours of no
precipitation. For example, if it rains for 2 hours without producing any collectable discharge,
and then stops, a sample may be collected if a rain producing a discharge begins again within the
next 10 hours. A'0�'

Linda, I've attached the staff report with Ken Pickle's review comments on top and
also a site plan. Of particular concern with this site is the large sawdust
stockpile depicted in the aerial photo on the western portion of the site. We are
not sure if we'll permit that as stormwater or leachate/wastewater. I believe the
sawdust is used to fire the plant's boiler.
You can see what parameters I've recommended in the staff report. I'm open to
adding more based on what you see there. I also attached the renewal app for
facility contact info....Tim Coggins is who I've been in touch with and he's
replaced Don Arrington. Look forward to hearing what you find.

Re: Stormwater Monitoring
Phone conversation 8111/09 with Erin Moro, Environ Consulting (spelling?) (ph# 843-820-6805)
She and I discussed the ongoing monthly stormwater monitoring at Jackson Paper. The results have
exceeded benchmarks for Turb and TSS. They have, and are continuing to, evaluate these
exceedances along with past exceedances of COD. They believe a DOT stormwater ditch could be
contributing to the TSS and Turb. DOT and Jackson Paper have added riprap in the vicinity of the
stormwater ditch to attempt to offset hydraulic and contaminant intrusions. I told her to add TSS and
Turb samples at the edge of Jackson Paper property near this ditch to gain data to confirm or dispute
this source. Erin also mentioned that Jackson Paper ran a COD sample that had been filtered and it
read lower than the non -filtered sample. So the current and previous benchmark exceedances could be
tied together. Ms. Moro wanted me to know that Jackson paper with the assistance of Environ
Consulting is monitoring and evaluating their stormwater issues.

RE: Response to Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit

Dear Mr. Larsen:
We received the draft NPDES Stormwater Permit and your letter dated February 20,
2009. In addition, there was an inspection of our facility conducted on December 16,
2008 by Linda Wiggs of the Asheville Regional office. Ms. Wiggs raised some concerns
and, in response to her concerns, we conducted sampling at Outfall #3. Based on the
inspection and follow-up from the inspection, we offer the following comments on the
draft permit:
1) As we understand, the terms of the draft permit are based on BOD and COD
sampling conducted and reported in 2005. The draft permit requires extensive' - r
--monthly '"qualitative and quantitative monitoring of the Outfalls. However, as
mentioned earlier, we sampled Outfall #3 for BOD and COD in January 2009 and Z
were below the proposed benchmark concentrations for both parameters.
Therefore, we believe additional monitoring is not required.
However, Jackson Paper can agree to monitor Outfall #3 monthly for 6 months.
If the results are below the proposed benchmark concentrations during that period, we request DWQ to reduce both qualitative and quantitative monitoring from
monthly to semi-annual monitoring thereafter.

Mr. Cory Larsen
March 10, 2009
2) According to the draft, qualitative and analytical monitoring is required monthly
at each stormwater discharge outfall. Based on previous sampling results and the
types of activities conducted in Drainage Areas 1 and 2, we believe the qualitative
and quantitative monitoring for Outfalls #1 and #2 should be reduced to semi-
annual monitoring.
3) In response to your comment about Outfall 93 Special Conditions, we have
demonstrated that because of our best management practices (BMPs), the results
of our sampling for (BOD and COD) were below the proposed benchmark
concentrations. Jackson Paper will continue to implement these BMPs for this
drainage area. However, we believe at this time there is no reason for us to apply
limits/BMPs beyond those already in place.
Based on our review, we stronglyrbelievethat the draft permit should be revised. Please
contact me at [phone] if you have any questions or need any additional
information.

Dear Mr. Coggins:
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. Please review the draft permit
and special conditions for Outfall 003 in this letter very carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the
conditions and requirements.
The draft permit contains the following significant changes from this facility's current permit:
Analytical monitoring changes:
1. Analytical monitoring parameters have been added to this permit including pH, oil & grease, and turbidity.
Total suspended solids, biochemical oxygen demand and chemical oxygen demand have been maintained.
2. Analytical monitoring has been set to monthly during a representative storm event as defined in Part II
Section B. The permittee must also document the total precipitation for each event. .
3. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring have been added to this draft permit. Exceedances of benchmark
values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping,
and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program.
4. You are required to'conduct all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring during representative storm
events as defined in Part II Section B. Qualitative monitoring is required at'every outfall regardless of
representative outfall status.
5. In the event that this permit expires, you are responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is
issued. See Footnote I of Tables 1, 4, and 5.
6. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall parameter is
still required in this permit, however.)
7.' Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi-annually. This requirement appears in all
Individual Stormwater permits; however it only applies to facilities that do vehicle maintenance. If the
facility begins vehicle maintenance during the permitted timeframe then the requirements in Section II-D
shall apply.
Other permit changes:
1. The duration of the discharge permit has been reduced to three years instead of five years.
2. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been specified in Part 11 Section
A. The plan must also be updated annually to include a list of significant spills and to certify that the outfalls
do not contain non-stormwater discharges.

3. Additional guidance is provided about the Site Plan requirements. The site map must now identify if the
receiving stream is impaired and if it has a TMDL established. It must also describe potential pollutants in
each outfall. The map requirements are stated more explicitly. And, the site plan must contain a list of
significant spills that have occurred in the past three years and also must certify that the outfalls have been
inspected to ensure that they do not contain non-stormwater discharges. Additional information is provided
in Part Il Section A.
4. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Management Plan have been specified in Part H Section A.
More details regarding secondary containment are provided.
5. The facility must now implement a semi-annual Facility Inspection Program of the site's stormwater
management controls as specified in Part II Section A.
6. Information regarding the No Exposure Exclusion has been added to this draft permit. If industrial
materials and activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described in 40 CFR §122.26(g), the
facility may qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES stormwater discharge permit requirements.
Additional information is provided in Part I Section A.
Outfall 003 Special Conditions:
Based on the facility inspection performed December 16, 2008 and review of Outfall 003 analytical data, which
includes four consecutive exceedances of oxygen demand benchmarks, discharge from the sawdust stockpile has
characteristics similar to wastewater, not stormwater. Thus upon expiration of this permit in 2012, discharge
from Outfall 003 may not be re -permitted by DWQ as stormwater.
Upon issuance of the final permit DWQ will require Jackson Paper Manufacturing Company to take steps to
cease discharge of polluted flows at Outfall 003 in accordance with the following schedule:
During the first year of the permit, Jackson Paper Manufacturing Company shall evaluate options (e.g.
prevention, collection, treatment, etc of sawdust pile discharges) and develop a plan to implement the
selected corrective actions or BMPs;
In year two of the permit, implementation of the plan;
In year three of the permit, demonstrate compliance with stormwater benchmarks under the new
operations of the plan.
Ln an effort to ensure compliance with the above schedule, DWQ will perform semi-annual facility inspections
and allocate increased attention to Jackson Paper for the duration of the permit.
Please submit any comments to me no later than thirty (30) days following your receipt of the draft. Comments
should be sent to the address listed at the bottom of page 1. If no adverse comments are received from the public
or from you, this permit will likely be issued in approximately one month. If you have any questions or
comments concerning this draft permit, contact me at [phone] or [e-mail]. .

Roger and 1 spoke, comments to a-e follow:
a.) Monthly monitoring -yes. modify Tier Format'`' Doesn't Tier Two already required this? If the format needs to be reformatted that will be ok, please pass it by us prior to
issuance so we will know the changes.
b) We would prefer a 3 year/36 month term.
c) yes
d) yes. We believe b%iving them a year to evaluate their options and develop a Plan is reasonable, then allowing the remaining years for implementation. Preferably
implementation the second year and the third under the new operations indicating compliance with benchmarks.
e) Yes I plan to work with Jackson Paper throughout this permit term to assist them with compliance. Alot of that will be face to face conversations. For example they will
know what is coming in this permit before they get it because I have told the M6r. (Tim) that I would let him know. Advice would also be a component, instream sampling a
possibility. Perhaps the way to address the "intensified intent" in the transmittal is to commit me (ARO) to biannual inspections.
Tim and I brainstormed for onsite options ie. wetlands, structural controls. When we brainstormed we came up with the connection to sewerline and the roof. All these options
need to be evaluated by Jackson Paper. We will mention to Tim the sewerline and roofoptions. He will need to get in touch with TWSA regarding sewerline connection and
we will be a component of that conversation.

We talked with Bradley, and were all ok with the interim strategy of re -issuing the permit pretty much as we discussed, with:
a) monthly monitoring to start. This will require us to modify the Tier format to suit.
h) —2-year or 30-month term of the permit
c) notification in the transmittal letter that DWQ may not re -permit outfalt 003
d) a permit condition (or other written directions) that requires milestone accomplishments in ceasing the discharge of highly polluted flows from 003 under the
stormwater permit.
e) We discussed heightened attention from ARO at this site, in not -yet -determined form (instream samples? on site advice on housekeeping? face-to-face explanation
of our problem/their problem with such high CODs?). Do you think we should notify the facility of our intensified intent in the transmittal letter?
I) Cory, did I leave offanything?
Cory told me today that he will have a draft permit ready for public comment by the end of next week.
You all were going to provide a first opinion on the feasibility of connecting this discharge to Sylva. Any idea yet?

Dear Sirs:
On December 16, 2008, an inspection of your facility located in Sylva N.C. was conducted to
determine if requirements of Stormwater Permit NCS000295 were being followed. Present
during the inspection was Tim Coggins.
The following observations were noted during the Division of Water Quality inspection:
Oualitative Monitoring
Qualitative monitoring needs to be conducted and recorded in accordance with the permit
requirements, semi-annually.
Analytical Monitoring
Analytical monitoring needs to be conducted and recorded in accordance with the permit
requirements. Results from 2005 at outfall #3 are a concern. During the next representative
storm event, please perform analytical monitoring at outfall #3 and supply results to my attention
at the address listed in the tooter.
Non-Stormwater Discharge
Documentation for the permanent closure of historic discharge points could not be located.
Please reevaluate for the presence of non-stormwater discharge. A dye test should be sufficient,
however you will need to be in contact with me during this process.
Stormwater Discharge Ou_tfall
The actual stormwater discharge outfall pipe locations were undetermined and are likely
inaccessible. Monitoring is performed at the furthest inline manhole or storm drain points.
Individual stormwater discharge outfalls and drainage areas are discussed below:

Outfall/Drainage #1: Outfall #1 has not been monitored. Site Drainage Map indicates this area
as #I. A link to the pump house is depicted on the Site Drainage Map. During the inspection,
this drainage area appeared to be only the southern section of drainage area #1, which is the
Main Office parking lot and a shipping area: with possible added drainage coming from Main
Street. It is unclear where the northern section of drainage area 91 drains or if the pump house is
connected. Please evaluate this and clarify. If the outfall is only receiving the southern section of
drainage area #1, please perform the following tasks: clean out the stormdrain, then perform oil
and grease analysis during the next representative rainfall event and submit results to me. It is
possible this outfall would be better protected by installation of a pillow device to collect
sediment and parking lot petroleum residues. Any pillow device deployed would need quarterly
replacement.
Outfall/Drainage #2: Outfall #2 is monitored from a fairly deep storm drain structure on the
south side of the main building. This is the drainage area where non-stormwater discharge
evaluations need to focus. During the inspection there was considerable water in the storm drain
absent considerable rainfall. This structure makes for difficult monitoring; please discuss
qualitative and analytical monitoring techniques at this location.
Outfall/Drainage #3: Outfall #3 is monitored from a manhole at the south end of drainage area
43 adjacent to the railroad tracks. This outfall receives drainage from the piles of sawdust, which
are used for fuel. This outfall has had elevated analytical results that are a concern, specifically
the BOD and COD results. Please perform analytical monitoring at this outfall during the next
representative rainfall event and submit results to me. Due to the sawdust piles in this drainage,
it is likely the BOD and COD will continue to remain elevated. Therefore methods to reduce
these parameters elevated results will likely need to be explored.
Response submittal of items noted above is required within 60 days of the date of the letter. If
you or your staff has any questions, please call me at 828-296-4653.

Inspection Date: 12/16/2008 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
Tim Coggins, Technical and Quality Manager, was present during inspection.
Outfall #1 as previously noted in permit and outfall section was not located. A stormdrain in the parking lot is the receiving
drain for drainage area #1. It is doubted that the northernmost area of drainage #1 actually is received in #1, more likely
drainage area #2. Based on this evaluation of the drainage area for #1 it can be discontinued once the stormdrain has
been cleaned, followed by a storm sampling event for oil and grease, then installation of pillow product in the stormdrain.
It should also be noted that this storm drainage area can receive runoff from the road. Jackson Paper should not be held
accountable for DOT runoff. It is the inspectors recommendation that the pillow product is a solution and the discharge no
longer be sampled analytically, only qualitatively. With pillow maintenance and replacement being performed quarterly.
Site representative believes in 1996, under different ownership, Jackson Paper hired a consultant to deal with site
discharges, ie. old floor drain discharges etc. Conveyances from the papermill were supposed to have been concreted in.
However the consultant report findings, maps and blockage of such historical drain systems could not be found. Without
the consultants report it is recommended that a dye study be performed to make sure there are no internal illicit
discharges. Primarily in the vicinity of outfall/drain #2.
The northern section of drainage area #3 is not in use currently, but processing expansion is planned in the future. It
appears a wetland is present north and west of the truck scales. Outfall #3 receives water from the sawdust piles located
in darainage #3, water leaving this area is black and tannic. This is the likely source of the elevated COD results. The
potential wetland mentioned near the truck scales is up gradient of the sawdust runoff and does not appear to be able to
be used for treatment. However, a wetland could potentially be created in the vicinity of the ash pit and should be able to
treat the runoff from the sawdust piles to an acceptable analytical level prior to discharge.
All dirt road surfaces at facility need to be regraveled.
It is receommended that the next stormwater permit be issued. By following the permit requirements under stormwater
mgt plan, feasibility study, and the tiered approach for benchmark exceedences the facility will have to evaluate their
options and resolve benchmark exceedences in order to gain compliance.

NCS000295
Revised Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring:
1. Maintaining BOD, COD and TSS. Adding parameters...
a. Turbidity — adding turbidity because the receiving water is impaired for turbidity violations and outfall
003 has shown elevated TSS concentrations near the benchmark. Additionally, Scotts Creek has trout
stream classification and may be sensitive to excessively turbid water. Natural Heritage indicates that
nearby water bodies have potential to provide habitat for two endangered aquatic species that may also
be sensitive to elevated turbidity/TSS levels.
b. O&G — rational is that facility has a number of oil tank areas onsite. Oil sheen was observed at outfall
002 in 2006. Truck traffic another potential source of O&G.
2. pH added.
3. All analytical monitoring set to semi-annually.
4. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring and Tiered monitoring system added to this draft permit.
5. Analytical and qualitative monitoring required during representative storm events. Qualitative monitoring
required regardless of representative outfall status.
6. Flow reporting replaced by total rainfall parameter.
7. Vehicle maintenance monitoring revised to semi-annually.
Other Proposed Changes to the Previous Permit:
1. See draft permit for full details.

Discussions with Permittee: Tim Coggins, 828-586-5534, 10/23/2008
1. Q: Is there any other analytical data available after 2005?
a. ANSWER: No.
2. Q: Is there any other qualitative data available after 2006?
a. ANSWER: Yes, we will scan and send to you.
3. Q: What chemicals are stored onsite?
a. ANSWER: Most chemicals are stored indoors. The most dangerous chemical in use at the facility is
probably caustic for pH adjustment. Chemicals stored outside secondary containment per SPCC
requirements. Some biocides are used to control biological growth in some operations.
4. Q: Is your wood ash from the boiler stored outside?
a. ANSWER: Yes, and it is bermed to prevent material migration.

cooling water discharges to Outfall #002 were discontinued on April 16.
Areas okay.
Spring 04' inspection, June 24 and 25. Boiler polymer chemical area needed
cleaning_ Directed C.W. to do this: Outside paper storage had some litter.
Minor migration of ash due to spillage during routine cleanings. Other areas
okay.
Fall inspection 05'. Drum storage of special wastes too high. Will plan to
reduce. Lot of erosion south of Harold street on creek bank due to
September storms. Railroad installed rip rap. Other areas along creek ok.
Spring 05' inspection, 4-20. Some litter at outside paper storage, "normal".
Other areas okay.
Fall 05' inspection, 9-19. Bottom ash inventory high. Areas okay_
Spring 06' Inspection., 4-17 & 18. Lot of wind has blown dust around. Litter
cleanup in progress. Areas inspected okay. Ash inventory coming down.
Some oil sheen in outfall 92. Began regular checks. No turbidity with sheen,
not process water. Sawdust. area drains being cleaned.
April 19 we had a heavy downpour during am, pm Mike Beck and Tim
Coggins looked for sheen and didn't see any indication of sheen. Later pm
on 19'h Mike and Tim (me observing) placed an absorbent boom at Outfall

KBP peer review comments
10/29/08
1. Staff report signed.
2. Suggest that we specifically request to ARO to visit the site, and hold action until we get their
report.
3. I see outfalls 002 and 003 were sampled. What about 001? Are they claiming that no
industrial activity is taking place in that sub -drainage area? Quick check on Google earth
might be advisable to corroborate any such assertion by the permittee/assumption by us. I
note the aerial photo in the file is dated December 2002 — more current aerials are available.
4. Our staff report notes that cardboard is the only raw material, but aerial photo and facility site
plan show very large areas of sawdust on site. Consider if we should reconcile this apparent
discrepancy. Note that site plan specifically notes that there are storm.drain inlets and storm
drain piping from the big sawdust piles leading to outfall 003 - - perhaps explaining why we
have GODS as high as 600 at this outfall.
5. I think this issue of the sawdust piles deserves close consideration. You may already know
that we have just issued General Permit NCG21 with significantly increased sampling
requirements from previous versions. Part of our concern in this general permit was our
evolving awareness that piles of sawdust can generate a leachate. We're trying to establish a
posture that'leachate' is not stormwater, it's wastewater. We've taken this position, and
we're trying it out to see how it fits as each new permitting circumstance comes up. Under
that posture, this site looks like it has outfall 003 discharging what we would now call
wastewater. If we stick with this posture, I'd conclude that we can't issue a stormwater
permit to cover this wastewater discharge. Note also that a COD of 600 mg/L is way beyond
what we would be comfortable with as a 'stormwater' discharge.
6. So, let's get ARO to visit the site. Be sure Roger Edwards, ARO Supervisor, is aware of our
concern here with ww vs. sw. Roger was pumped up about the sawdust and wastewater issue
about a year ago when I visited a couple of sites with him.
7. It may be a pretty big deal if we have to tell Jackson Paper that they will have to re-route the
drainage from the sawdust area into their WWTP.
8. When we know more of the facts here, let's pull Bethany and/or Bradley into the discussion
about sawdust and outfall 003 and CODs of 600 mg/L.

Dear Permittee:
Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under NPDES Permit NCS000295. This permit expires
on January 31, 2007. North Carolina Administrative Code (15A NCAC 2H.0105(e)) requires that an application
for permit renewal be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current permit. In order to assure your
continued coverage under your permit, you must apply to the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) for renewal of
your permit. To'make this renewal process easier, we are informing you in advance that your permit will be
expiring. Enclosed you will find an individual permit renewal application form, supplemental information request,
and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan certification.
Filing the application form along with the requested supplemental information will constitute your application for
renewal of your permit. As stated above, the application form must be completed and returned along with all
requested information by August 4, 2006 in order for the permit to be renewed by January 31, 2007.
Failure to request renewal by August 4, 2006 may result in a civil assessment of at least $500.00. Larger penalties
may be assessed depending on the delinquency of the request. Discharge of stormwater from your facility without
coverage under a valid stormwater NPDES permit would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and could
result in assessments of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day.
If you have any questions regarding the permit renewal procedures please contact Mike Randall of the Stormwater
Permitting Unit at [phone], ext. 545.

KBP peer review comments
10/29/08
1. Staff report signed.
2. Suggest that we specifically request to ARO to visit the site, and hold action until we get their
report.
3. I see outfalls 002 and 003 were sampled. What about 001? Are they claiming that no
industrial activity is taking place in that sub -drainage area? Quick check on Google earth
might be advisable to corroborate any such assertion by the permittee/assumption by us. I
note the aerial photo in the file is dated December 2002 - more current aerials are available.
4. Our staff report notes that cardboard is the only raw material, but aerial photo and facility site
plan show very -la rg e-area s-of-sawdust on -site. —Consider if_we_shouId-reconcile this apparent
discrepancy. Note-that_site_plan_specifically_notes that there are storm drain inlets and storm
drain piping from the big sawdust piles leading to outfall 603 - - perhaps explaining -why we
have CODS as high as 600 at this outfall.
5. I think this issue of the sawdust piles deserves close consideration. You may already know
that we have just issued General Permit NCG21 with significantly increased sampling
requirements from previous versions. Part of our concern in this general permit was our
evolving awareness that piles of sawdust can generate a leachate. We're trying to establish a
posture that'leachate' is not stormwater, it's wastewater. We've taken this position, and
we're trying it out to see how it fits as each new permitting circumstance comes up. Under
that posture, this site looks like it has outfall 003 discharging what we would now call
wastewater. If we stick with this posture, I'd conclude that we can't issue a stormwater
permit to cover this wastewater discharge. Note also that a COD of 600 mg/L is way beyond
what we would be comfortable with as a 'stormwater' discharge.
6. So, let's get ARO to visit the site. Be sure Roger Edwards, ARO Supervisor, is aware of our
concern here with ww vs. sw. Roger was pumped up about the sawdust and wastewater issue
about a year ago when I visited a couple of sites with him.
7. It may be a pretty big deal if we have to tell Jackson Paper that they will have to re-route the
drainage from the sawdust area into their WWTP.
8. When we know more of the facts here, let's pull Bethany and/or Bradley into the discussion
about sawdust and outfall 003 and CODS of 600 mg/L.

standard.
o It is discussed under the 2007 Basinwide Plan Ch. 2 for impainnent. Stressors to the creek include
fecal coliform, turbidity and habitat degradation.
o Scotts Creek is a tributary of the Tuckasegee River which is also impaired in the reach nearest Scotts
Creek for fecal colifonn.
4. Threatened and Endangered: Two federal- and/or state -listed endangered aquatic species were located within
two stiles of the facility (]Natural Heritage Database):
o Appalatian Elk -toe (mussel)
o Smoky Mountain Covert (snail)
5. Location:
o Facility is located in mixed industrial/commercial/residential area along Scotts Creek within Sylva, NC.
Stormwater fi•ont the site drains directly to Scotts Creek.
6. Industrial Changes Since Previous Permit:
o No significant industrial changes have occurred.
7. Analvtical Monitoring Notes:
o Analytical monitoring data collected quarterly during 2005 (4" yr of permit).
o Consistent BOD/COD exceeedaof current benchmarks 30 ntg/L and 120 mg/L respectively at
Outfall 3. See Table 1 below.
8. Qualitative Monitoring Notes:
o lnfonnal visual monitoring performed semi-annually since Fall 2003.
o Oil sheen observed at Outfall 2 in 2006. Other minor issues related to housekeeping were noted. See
Summary of Visual Monitoring Results as Appendix A.

Revised Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring:
1. Maintaining BOD, COD and TSS. Adding parameters...
a. Turbidity — adding turbidity because the receiving water is impaired -for -turbidity -violations -and outfall
003 has shown elevated TSS concentrations near the benchmark. Additionally, Scotts Creek has trout
stream classification and may be sensitive to excessively turbid water. Natural Heritage indicates that
nearby water bodies have potential to provide habitat for two endangered aquatic species that may also
be sensitive to elevated turbidity/TSS levels.
b. @&G — rational is that facility has a number of oil_tank:areas-onsite. Oil sheen was observed at outfall
002 in 2006. Truck traffic another potential source of O&.G.
2. pH added.
3. All analytical monitoring set to semi-annually.
4. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring and Tiered monitoring system added to this draft permit.
5. Analytical and qualitative monitoring required during representative storm events. Qualitative monitoring
required regardless of representative outfall status.
6. Flow reporting replaced by total rainfall parameter.
7. Vehicle maintenance monitoring revised to semi-annually.
Other Proposed Changes to the Previous Permit:
1. See draft permit for full details.
with Permittee: Tim Coggins, 828-586-5534, 10/23/2008
Q: Is there any other analytical data available after 2005?
a. ANSWER: No.
2. Q: is there any other qualitative data available after 2006?
ANSWER: Yes, we will scan and send to you.
3. Q: What chemicals are stored onsite?
ANSWER: Most chemicals are stored indoors. The most dangerous chemical in use at the facility is
probably caustic for pH adjustment. Chemicals stored outside secondary containment per SPCC
requirements. Some biocides are used to control biological growth in some operations.
4. Q: is your wood ash from the boiler stored outside?
a. ANSWER: Yes, and it is bermed to prevent material migration.

Dear Mr. Pope:
In response to your renewal application for continued coverage under NPDES stormwater permit
NCS000295, the Division of Water Quality (Division) is forwarding herewith the subject state - NPDES
permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215 .1
and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the US Environmental Protection
agency dated May 9, 1994 (or as subsequently amended).
Please note that the Division has revised the analytical monitoring strategy for individual
stormwater permits. Based on a review of the permit monitoring data received to date, the analytical
monitoring measurement frequencies have been changed and cut-off concentrations have been removed.
These changes will be implemented for all second term individual stormwater permits with analytical
monitoring requirements. For those permits with analytical monitoring requirements, Part 11 -
Monitoring, Controls, and Limitations for Permitted Discharges has been modified to reflect the change
in monitoring strategy.
The qualitative monitoring strategy remains the same as the first term of the permit. Please note
that the semi-annual qualitative monitoring is a requirement of the permit. Failure to complete the
monitoring as required is a violation of the permit and any permit noncompliance constitutes a violation
of the Clean Water Act. Reference Part III, Section A, Item 2 "Duty to Comply", Item 9 "Penalties for
Tampering " and Item 10 "Penalties for Falsification of Reports" of your permit for further information.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are
unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30)
days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to
Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative
Hearings, Post Office Drawer 27447, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611 -7447. Unless such demand is
made, this decision shall be final and binding.
Please take notice this permit is not transferable. Part Ill, B.2. addresses the requirements to be
followed in case of change in ownership or control of this discharge.
This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required
by the Division of Water Quality or permits required by the Division of Land Resources, Coastal Area

Permit No. NCS000295
PART II MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR
PERMITTEDDIISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
The permittee shall develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, herein after referred to as
the Plan. This Plan shall be considered public information in accordance with Part III, Standard
Conditions, Section E, Paragraph 3 of this individual permit. The Plan shall include,.at a
minimum, the following items:
Site Plan. The site plan shall provide a description of the physical facility and the
potential pollutant sources which may be expected to contribute to contamination of
stormwater discharges. The site plan shall contain the following:
(a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle map or appropriately drafted
equivalent map), showing the facility's location in relation to transportation
routes and surface waters, the name of the receiving water(s) to which the
stormwater outfall(s) discharges, or if the discharge is to a municipal separate
storm sewer system, the name of the municipality and the ultimate receiving
waters; and accurate latitude and longitude of the point(s) of discharge.
(b) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities,
outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and
waste disposal practices.
(c) A site map drawn to scale with the distance legend indicating location of
industrial activities (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas
and loading and unloading areas), drainage structures, drainage areas for each
outfall and activities occurring in the drainage area, building locations, existing
BMWs and impervious surfaces, and the percentage of each drainage area that is
impervious. For each outfall, a narrative description of the potential pollutants
which could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge.
(d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred at the facility
during the 3 previous years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill
impacts.
(e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of
non-stormwater discharges. The certification statement will be signed in
accordance with the requirements found in Part II1, Standard Conditions, Section
B, Paragraph 3.
2. Stormwater Management Plan. The stormwater management plan shall contain a
narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or
minimize the exposure of significant materials to stormwater, including structural and
Part 11 Page I of 6

Permit No. NCS000295
nonstructural measures. The stormwater management plan, at a minimum, shall
incorporate the following:
(a) Feasibility Study. A review of the technical and economic feasibility of changing
the methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure
of materials and processes to stormwater. Wherever practical, the permittee shall
prevent exposure of all storage areas, material handling operations, and
manufacturing or fueling operations. In areas where elimination of exposure is
not practical, the stormwater management plan shall document the feasibility of
diverting the stormwater runoff away from areas of potential contamination.
(b) Secondary Containment Schedule. A schedule to provide secondary containment
for bulk storage of liquid materials, storage of Section 313 of Title III of the
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority
chemicals, or storage of hazardous substances to prevent leaks and spills'from
contaminating stormwater runoff. If the secondary containment devices are
connected directly to stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be
controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices [which shall be
secured with a locking mechanism] and any stormwater that accumulates in the
containment area shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam, outfall
staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the accumulated
stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be
uncontaminated by the material stored within the containment area. Records
documenting the individual making the observation, the description of the
accumulated stormwater and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a
period of five years.
(c) BMP Summary. A narrative description shall be provided of Best Management
Practices (BMPs) to be considered such as, but not limited to, oil and grease
separation, debris control, vegetative filter strips, infiltration and stormwater
detention or retention, where necessary. The need for structural BMPs shall be
based on the assessment of potential of sources to contribute significant quantities
of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected through monitoring of
stormwater discharges.
3. Spill Prevention and Response Plan. The Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP)
shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials
inventory of the facility. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the
SPRP shall be identified. A responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility
operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or
exposure of materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP must be site
stormwater specific. Therefore, a SPCC plan may be a component of the SPRP, but may
not be sufficient to completely address the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common
elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may be incorporated by reference into the SPRP.
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative
maintenance program shall be developed. The program shall document schedules of
inspections and maintenance activities of stormwater control systems, plant equipment
Part I1 Page 2 of 6

Permit No. NCS000295
and systems. Inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of
these areas shall be incorporated into the program.
5. Employee Training. Training schedules shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis on proper spill response and cleanup procedures and
preventative maintenance activities for all personnel involved in any of the facility's
operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. Facility personnel
(or team) responsible for implementing the training shall be identified.
6. Responsible Party. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall identify a specific
position(s) responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation,. and
revision to the Plan. Responsibilities for all components of the Plan shall be documented
and position assignments provided.
7. Plan Amendment. The permittee shall amend the Plan whenever there is a change in
design, construction, operation, or maintenance which has a significant effect on the
potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. The Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis.
The Director may notify the permittee when the Plan does not meet one or more of the
minimum requirements of the permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee shall
submit a time schedule to the Director for modifying the Plan to meet minimum
requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with
Part I1I, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3) to the Director that the changes
have been made.
Facility inspection Program. Facilities are required to inspect all stormwater systems on
at least a semiannual schedule, once in the fail (September -November) and once in the
spring (April - June). The inspection and any subsequent maintenance activities
performed shall be documented, recording date and time of inspection, individual(s)
making the inspection and a narrative description of the facility's stormwater control
systems, plant equipment and systems. Records of these inspections shall be
incorporated into the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
Stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring as required in Part 11 of this permit shall
be performed in addition to facility inspections.
9. Implementation. The permittee shall document all monitoring, measurements,
inspections and maintenance activities and training provided to employees, including the
log of the sampling data and of activities taken to implement BMPs associated with the
industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance activities. Such documentation shall
be kept on -site for a period of five years and made available to the Director or his
authorized representative immediately upon request.

Dear Kevin,
Yesterday afternoon: June 12, 2002 at 8:45 P iVI, Jackson Paper personnel discovered a flow of
process water coming £rom the overflow of our white water surge chest. We immediately open a
valve to drain the overflow into another he. The spill occurred during a scheduled shut while we
were rerouting the overflow drain lice on the surge chest. The routing of the drain line was
completed and no future occurrences will occur. An estimate of less than 2,000 gallons reached
the storm drain and an observation of the creek indicated no evidence of any deposition_
Any questions, please give me a call.

Dear Kevin,
This morning, December 14, 2000 Jackson Paper personnel discovered a flow of water coming
from a drain in the wet end basement of the machine room. After further investigation, we
discovered that the temperature of the water was about 124 degrees F, indicating that it might be
process water. We checked our storm water drains located close to the leakage and discovered
that the heated water was entering the drain under the floor which goes to Scotts Creek. The
temperature of the water entering the creek was 84 degrees F and the PH was 7.89- We isolated
an underground gravity fed cast iron pipe going from an outside surge tank to an inside chest and
the flow disappeared. We had a heavy rain (.74") early this morning and during inspection of the
creek, .the water was very cloudy from the excessive rain and the water level was high enough to
back up into the storm drain- The leak was stopped completely by 10:00 am 12/14/2000. The
buried cast iron fine will be abonded and replaced with a new pipe. Personnel are routinely in the
basement during the day and the leakage was discovered early this morning. It is hard to estimate
a quantity that got into the storm drain, but we feel that it was a minimal amount, less than 5,000
gallons.
Observation of the creek during the spill indicated no evidence of any deposition. Any questions,
please give me a call.
Yours Truly,
Pope

Reference: Process Water Spill on November 03, 1997
Mr. Anderson,
This note is to inform you of a process water spill we encountered at Jackson Paper
Manufacturing Company on November 03, 1997 at approximately 10:00 AM. During our fall
shut down, a contractor open a section of our clarifier supply line to hydroblast the line, and
approximately 50 gallons of mill process water trapped in the line drained into the 42 outfall
storm water line emptying into Scotts Creek. The valve that drains the supply line into the South
Basin was not open before the cleaning process began. Everyone involved in the incident has
been instructed of the correct procedure.
The drainage into the creek cleared up within an hour. I inspected the creek for 1./2 to 1 mile
downstream and found no evidence of any problems.
Any questions or concerns, please call me at 704-586-5534.
Very Sincerely,

Mr. Anderson,
This note is to inform you of a process water spill we encountered at Jackson Paper
Manufacturing Company on August 13, 1997 at approximately 2:15 PM. A cap broke on a
nipple on our clarifier supply line and approximately 50-100 gallons of mill process water
drained into the #2 outfall storm water line emptying into Scotts Creek.
At the time of the spill, we were on a scheduled maintenance shut down. Our clarifier supply
tank had overfilled inside the building so the operator turned on the pump to send water to the
clarifier. With the surge of the pump pressure, a 3/4" nipple cap broke and the water escaped
into the storm drain. The leak was discovered within a couple of minutes and the nipple was
repaired. The drainage into the creek cleared up within an hour. l inspected the creek for 1/2 to
1 mile downstream and found no evidence of any problems.
Any questions or concerns, please call me at 704-586-5534.

2. Minimum Monitoring and Reporting Rye uiremenis
Minimum monitoring and reporting requirements are as follows unless otherwise approved in
writing by the Director of the Division of Environmental Management.
a. If a facility has multiple discharge locations with substantially identical stormwater
discharges that are required to be sampled, the permittee may petition the Director for
representative outfall status. If it is established that the stormwater discharges are
substantially identical and the permittee is granted representative outfall status, then
sampling requirements may be performed at a reduced number of outfalls.
b. Visual monitoring for color, odor, solids, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens and dry
weather flow shall be performed at all stormwater discharge outfall locations. All visual
monitoring shall be documented and records maintained with the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan. The initial visual monitoring event shall be performed simultaneously
with the first analytical monitoring event and documentation of only this initial visual
monitoring event shall be submitted along with the required analytical monitoring submittal.
c . For purposes of the stormwater sampling required in this permit, all samples shall be
collected from a discharge resulting from a representative storm event (See Part I1,
Standard Conditions, Section A). Failure to monitor storm events in accordance with the
specified frequency shall constitute a violation of this permit. If the stormwater runoff is
controlled by a detention pond, the following sampling requirements shall apply:
(1) If the detention pond detains the runoff generated by one inch of rainfall for 24
hours, visual observations for color, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens, and dry
weather flow are required, but analytical sampling shall not be required.
(2) If the detention pond discharges only in response to a storm event exceeding a 25-
year, 24-hour storm (See Part II, Standard Conditions, Section A), the pond shall
be considered a non -discharging stormwater control system and not subject to
NPDES requirements, unless the discharge causes a violation of water quality
standards.
d. Samples analyzed in accordance with the terms of this permit shall be submitted on forms
provided by the Director no later than January 31 for the previous year in which sampling
was required to be performed.
e. Analytical results from sampling during the final year of the permit term shall be submitted
with the permit renewal application.
This permit regulates stormwater discharges. Non-stormwater discharges which shall be
allowed in the stormwater conveyance system are:
(1) All other discharges that are authorized by a non-stormwater NPDES permit.
(2) Uncontaminated groundwater, foundation drains, air -conditioner condensate
without added chemicals, springs, discharges of uncontaminated potable water,
waterline and fire hydrant flushings, water from footing drains, flows from riparian
habitats and wetlands.
(3) Discharges resulting from fire -fighting.

This permit may be modified, revoked and reissued, or terminated for cause. The
notification of planned changes or anticipated noncompliance does not stay any
permit condition.
�J • •' •_• r_ i �1• ur_t�IM 1 .._�AWC a -Ell MANI • • �MII: •
The permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and
systems of treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or
used by the permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit.
Proper operation and maintenance also includes adequate laboratory controls and
appropriate quality assurance procedures. This provision requires the operation of
back-up or auxiliary facilities or similar systems which are installed by a permittee
only when the operation is necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of
the permit.
It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have
been necessaryto halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain
compliance with the condition of this permit.
3. Bypassing -of Stormwater ControlFacilities
a. Definitions
(1) "Bypass" means the known diversion of stormwater from any portion of a
stormwater control facility including the collection system, which is not a
designed or established or operating mode for the facility.
(2) "Severe property damage" means substantial physical damage to property,
damage to the control facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or
substantial and permanent Ioss of natural resources which can reasonably be
expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage does
not mean economic loss caused by delays in production.
b. Bypass Not Exceeding Limitations.
The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause limitations to be
exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient
operation. These bypasses are not subject to the provisions of Paragraphs c. and d.
of this section.
C. Notice
(1) Anticipated bypass. If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a
bypass, it shall submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the
date of the bypass; including an evaluation of the anticipated quality and
affect of the bypass.

Individual Stormwater Page Al2
(2) Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice within 24 hours of
an unanticipated bypass as required in Part II, E. 5. of this permit. (24-
hour notice).
d. Prohibition of Bypass
Bypass is prohibited and the Director may take enforcement action against a
permittee for bypass, unless:
(1) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe
property damage;
(2) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of
auxiliary control facilities, retention of stormwater or maintenance during
normal periods of equipment downtime or da wrgher. This condition is
not satisfied if adequate backup controls should have been installed in the
exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which
occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventive
maintenance; and
(3) The permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph c. of this
section.
The Director may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its adverse
effects, if the Director determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above
in Paragraph d. of this section.
4. jjys^tc
a. Definition
"Upset " means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and
temporary noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations
because of factors beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does
not include noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error, improperly
designed treatment or control facilities, inadequate treatment or control facilities,
lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation.
b . Effect of an Upset.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance
with technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c.
of this condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of
claims that noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for
noncompliance, is final administrative action subject to judicial review.
c . Conditions Necessary for a Demonstration of Upset
A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall
demonstrate, through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other
relevant evidence that:
(1) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the
upset;

Individual Stormwater Page A13
(2) The permitted facility was at the time being properly operated; and
(3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II, E. 5. (b)
(B) of this permit.
(4) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part II,
A. 2. of this permit.
d. Burden of Proof
In any enforcement proceeding the permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of
an upset has the burden of proof.
Samples collected and measurements taken, as required herein, shall be
characteristic of the volume and nature of the permitted discharge. Samples shall be
taken on a day and time that is characteristic of the discharge. All samples shall be
taken before the discharge joins or is diluted by any other waste stream, body of
water, or substance. Monitoring points shall not be changed without notification to
and approval of the Director.

1314, of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as Amended, and Regulation 40
CFR 136.
To meet the intent of the monitoring required by this permit, all test procedures
must produce minimum detection and reporting levels that are below the permit
discharge requirements and all data generated must be reported down to the
minimum detection or lower reporting level of the procedure. If no approved

Individual Stormwater Page A 14
methods are determined capable of achieving minimum detection and reporting
levels below general permit discharge requirements, then the most sensitive
(method with the lowest possible detection and reporting level) approved method
must be used.
The Clean Water Act provides that any person who falsifies, tampers with, or
knowingly renders inaccurate, any monitoring device or method required to be
maintained under this permit shall, upon conviction, be punished by a fine of not
more than $10,000 per violation, or by imprisonment for not more than two years
per violation, or by both. If a conviction of a person is for a violation committed
after a first conviction of such person under this paragraph, punishment is a fine of
not more that $20,000 per day of violation, or by imprisonment of not more than 4
years, or both.
The permittee shall retain records of all monitoring information, including all
calibration and maintenance records and all original strip chart recordings for
continuous monitoring instrumentation, copies of all reports required by this
permit, for a period of at least 5 years from the date of the sample, measurement,
report or application. This period may be extended by request of the Director at any
time.
