Some of the changes include:
Part II:
• Section A: The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) section, if applicable, has been updated
to the most current language of our permits. Additional conditions for specific industry sectors have
been added to the SPPP requirements in some cases.
• Sections B, C: Failure to perform analytical stormwater monitoring may result in the Division requiring
that the permittee begin a monthly sampling scheme.
• Sections B, C: A lower TSS benchmark of 50 mg/I for HQW, ORW, PNA and Tr Waters applies to these
more sensitive waters.
• Sections B, C. The monitoring parameter Oil & Grease (O&G) has been replaced by the parameter
Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) for vehicle maintenance areas, and in some cases, other
analytical monitoring requirements.
• Sections B, C, D: Inability to sample due to adverse weather must be recorded in the SPPP, or in
separate on -site records if your General Permit does not require an SPPP. Adverse weather is defined
in the "Definitions" section of the permit.
• Sections B, C. The term "Representative Storm Event" has been replaced by "Measurable Storm
Event." A measurable storm event is defined in the permit.
• Section D: If the permittee fails to respond effectively to problems identified by qualitative
monitoring, DWQ may require the permittee to perform corrective action.
Please review Parts III and IV to understand the Standard Conditions of your new NPDES General Permit,
including Compliance and Liability, Reporting, Monitoring and Records requirements; Operation and
Maintenance obligations; and Definitions. Please note that all samples analyzed in accordance with the terms
of this permit must be submitted to the Division on Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) forms available on
the Stormwater Permitting Unit's website above. DMR forms must be delivered to the Division no later than
30 days from the date the facility receives the sampling results from the laboratory. Also note that existing
permittees do not need to submit a renewal request prior to expiration unless directed by the Division.
Your coverage under the General Permit is transferable only through the specific action of DWQ. This permit
does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by DENR, nor does it
relieve the permittee from responsibility for compliance with any other applicable federal, state, or local law,
rule, standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or decree. If you have any questions regarding this permit
package, please contact the Division's Stormwater Permitting Unit at [phone].

Permit Number - NCG060254
County- Person
Dear Mr.Taylor:
On October 8, 2012, Autumn Romanski, of the Division of Water Quality (DWQ), Raleigh Regional Office,
performed a stormwater compliance evaluation inspection of the U.S. Flue -Cured Tobacco Facility in Person
County. The assistance of Mr. Dirreck Sims, Safety Manager, to complete the inspection was greatly
appreciated. Please review the Compliance Inspection Report enclosed for details. A summary of the
inspection findings is listed below.
Iqde>Istry.an
d,
U.S. Cured Tobacco Growers Facility site conducts tobacco processing and cigarette manufacturing.
Stormwater runoff generated at such facilities is regulated by General Permit NCG060000. DWQ has therefore
issued the U.S. Tobacco Growers, Inc. certificate of coverage, NCG060254, which became effective on 11-01-
2007 and expires on 10-31-2012.
Inspection.
The facility keeps excellent records and was in compliance with permit requirements. The staff was
knowledgeable and the facility has implemented the SPPP and Best Management Practice's (BMP's). The
stormwater discharge at the site is associated with runoff from roof drains, paved parking areas, and truck traffic
(during stemery season). The permittee reported that the drains associated with the area by the bulk chemical
unloading station and trucking area beside the loading station discharges to sanitary sewer, as well as, the
cooling water and boiler blowdown discharges. The waste process area by the loading docks is monitored
regularly and a rubber mat and spill kit are available for use as needed. The facility has two stormwater outfalls
that discharge to the North Flat River, both require semi-annual analytical sampling. The facility has done an
excellent job completing the required inspections and monitoring. The implementation of the SPPP and BMP's
is evident with monthly inspections and no reported parameters exceeding benchmarks.

NCGO80676
Page 2
A few comments to consider:
1. Signage to identify the location of the stormwater outfalls, as they can be difficult to locate due to their
distance into wooded areas.
2. Outfall #001 is located down an embankment, and samples are taken in a rip -rap channel that can be
difficult to traverse during a storm event. The facility should consider safety improvements to sampling
access point as feasible.
It is our goal to insure the quality of the surface waters of this State.
If you have questions about the inspection report, or if we car' be of further assistance, please contact Autumn
Romanski at 919-791-4200.
Sincerely,
Autumn Romanski

# Is a copy of the Permit and the Certificate of Coverage available at the site?
# Were all outfalls observed during the inspection?
# If the facility has representative outfall status, is it properly documented by the Division?
# Has the facility evaluated. all illicit (non stormwater) discharges?
Comment: The facility has two stormwater outfalls that drain paved parking area, truck
traffic area (during short stemery production season) and roof drains. The outfalls were
in good structural condition with apron and rip -rap lining for aeration and sediment
capture prior to discharge to the stream.
The major area of risk was the bulk unloading station and the waste process area
beside the loading docks. It was reported that the drain for the bulk unloading station
and trucking area by the unloading station has been routed to sanitary sewer as a best
management practice and precaution. Also, Boiler and cooling tower blowdown were
reported to discharge to sanitary sewer. The area beside the loading docks is
monitored and a rubber mat seal for the drain nearest the operation is available and
ready for use as needed. The facility also has spill kits available.

Dear Mr. Schmelzer:
Michael F. Easley, Governor

North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources
Alan W. Klimek, P.E., Director
Division of Water Quality
On March 20, 2006, I conducted a stormwater inspection at the US Flue Cured Tobacco facility in
Timberlake, NC. Derrick Sims and yourself represented the facility during the inspection. Your aid
was greatly appreciated.
The US Flue Cured Tobacco facility is a manufacturing plant located off of Highway 501 in southern
Person County. The site contains two stormwater outfalls that discharge into the Neuse River basin.
The stormwater management and the spill prevention and response plans were reviewed during the
inspection and found to be sufficient. According to Mr. Sims, the plans are reviewed at least annually
but this could not be confirmed with documentation. Please document these annual reviews and any
revisions made to the plans.
All permanent employees undergo spill prevention and response training annually. Temporary
employees are given an abbreviated version of this training by Mr. Sims.
According to you, the facility has a preventative maintenance and good housekeeping program but no
records were available to confirm the program and its elements. Please maintain documentation of the
good housekeeping inspections and maintenance schedules within the spill prevention and response
plan.
The plant met the cut-off concentrations for all analytical monitoring parameters except chemical
oxygen demand in October 2005. The facility is not required to continue analytical monitoring of the
parameters that met the cut-off concentrations until the last year of the permit unless there are
significant changes in the facility's operations. Chemical oxygen demand must continue to be
monitored until the concentration is analyzed at or below the cut-off concentration of 120 ppm.
Qualitative monitoring of the outfalls was last conducted in October 2005. I remind you that the
outfalls are to be inspected during the spring (April through June) and fall (September through
November) of each year.

A visual review was made of the site and the stormwater outfalls. Empty barrels and metal equipment
were being stored outside during the inspection. It appeared as though some rust from the metal
equipment had reached the storm drain in the area. The facility had one spill kit readily available. I
recommend that this kit be placed in a location so it is easily assessable from the chemical unloading
area. Both outfalls appeared to be well maintained. No flow was observed at outfall 1. Dry weather
flow was observed at outfall 2.
