Subject : Compliance Inspection Report:
Permit No. NCG 210477
BMC East, LLC - Greensboro
Guilford County
Dear Permit Holder:
On September 9, 2019, Brandon Wise, inspector with the North Carolina Department of
Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) — Division of Energy, Minerals, and Land Resources, met with Scott
Boswell at the facility located at 2329 Joe Brown Drive in Greensboro. The purpose of this visit was to
conduct a compliance inspection as part of the 30-day comment period that comes with new permit
issuance. The inspection consisted of review of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and
each of its components, review of the facility outfalls, as well as the review of the overall site conditions.
Permit:
This facility has General Stormwater Permit NCG210477 to discharge stormwater from industrial
activity associated with Lumber and Wood Products, Except Furniture [SIC 24] under the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). This version of the permit was applied for on
September 4, 2019 and currently is in the 30-day comment period.
Records/Reports:
This facility is required to develop and maintain a SWPPP in accordance with Part II, Section A
of the permit. All qualitative and analytical monitoring records are required to be maintained with the
SWPPP for a minimum of five (5) years. Under this permit, analytical monitoring is required under
current operating procedures. The facility does not currently have any monitoring records as the permit is
still in the process of being issued. The SWPPP for this facility had been put together and implemented
prior to the inspection. This facility is required to perform employee training annually in accordance with
Part II, Section A, Item 6 of the permit. NCDEQ was informed during the inspection that training had
been completed, please ensure these records are added to the permit when able.
Facility Site Review:
This facility operates as a specialty builder of lumber products. The facility is graded in a way
that stormwater on the western side of the facility drains towards a drain located at a loading dock. The
stormwater on the eastern side of the facility drains to the south and off site at an outfall located in the
tree line. All manufacturing is performed inside of the two large buildings located at the facility. The
only exposed industrial activity is sawdust and some lumber storage located at the eastern part of the
facility. The outfall at the loading dock should be cleared and kept clean as some sediment and debris
was seen during the inspection, but since no industrial activity flows to this outfall no analytical
D�.

monitoring will be required at this outfall. NCDEQ does require that qualitative (visual) monitoring be
performed at this outfall. The outfall located in the southeastern corner of the facility should have
analytical and qualitative monitoring performed at it as this outfall does catch stormwater that is subject to
industrial activity. The general housekeeping of the site was very good during the inspection, it was also
noted during the inspection there is not a lot of impervious surface outside of one paved parking lot and
the two buildings. This could allow for a decreased amount of offsite discharge.
Effluent Receiving Waters:
Effluent from this facility drains into Jorden Branch, class "WS-V; NSW" waters of the Cape
Fear River Basin. Please note that these receiving waters are listed as nutrient sensitive waters and may
be subject to extra regulations.
Self -Monitoring Program:
This facility is required to provide analytical and qualitative monitoring twice annually. The
outfalls where stormwater is discharged from the facility are expected to be properly maintained and
monitored. At the time of the inspection monitoring was being prepared, however since the permit was
new, no monitoring had been done at the time of the inspection. Monthly inspections of the facility are
required to ensure the facility is meeting the housekeeping requirements in the permit.
There are no additional comments or changes to the newly applied for permit. Please begin the
required upkeep and monitoring of stormwater discharges. If you have any questions or need additional
information, please contact Brandon Wise at (336) 776-9660 or Brandon.wise@ncdenr.gov.

Inspection Summary:
Facility inspected as part of the 30 day comment period for a new permit. Facility is very clean and a majority of industrial
activity occurs indoors or under cover. Two outfalls were listed for the facility and both were inspected. Outfall #1 is located
at the southeast corner of the property where stormwater will discharge into the woods via a small swale. Ensure this outfall
is kept clean and a proper area to sample from is established. This outfall catches an area of sawdust storage and area of
potential extra wood storage. Outfall #2 is located on the western side of the facility at a loading dock. This outfall will not
have analytical requirements as the outfall catches the parking lot and rooftop drainage. This outfall will however require the
qualitative (visual) inspections at the same regularity as Outfall #1. Should weird analyticals be discovered during sampling
the first check should be of water that comes from upgradient as there are multiple industrial facilities that could drain onto
the site and cause issues. The SWPPP had recently been put together and looked good. Training had just occured and
was being prepared to be put into the records. Overall no changes or special conditions recommended for the issuance of
permit NCG210477.

Comment: Permit was avaible at site but Certificate of Coverage had not been issued as the permit was still
in the 30 day comment period. Both outfalis were observed. Outfall #2 (near loading dock)
needed to be cleaned up as sediment had been deposited there and should be monitored to
ensure this does not continue.
