Subject: NPDES Stormwater Permit Coverage Renewal COC #NCG240004
Dear Permittee:
TRACY DAVIS
Dhwcior
For coverage under Stormwater General Permit NCG240000, the Division of Energy,
Mineral, and Land Resources (DEMLR) is forwarding herewith the reissued Certificate of
Coverage (COC). This permit is reissued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina
General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between the state of North
Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, dated October 15, 2007 (or as
subsequently amended.) A new Certificate of Coverage (COC) is included with this
letter.
You must print a copy of the new NCG240000 General Permit from our website here:
htt de .nc. ov about divisions ever -mineral-1 nd-res ur es ever -mineral-land-
permits/stormwater-permits/npdes-industrial-sw. In addition to the full permit, the 2017
print package on the website includes revised Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) forms,
Annual Discharge Monitoring Report forms, and Qualitative Monitoring Report Forms.
The General Permit authorizes discharges of stormwater and wastewater (if applicable),
and it specifies your obligations with respect to discharge controls, management,
monitoring, and record keeping. Please review the new permit to familiarize yourself with
all changes in the reissued permit. Your facility has six (6) months from receipt of the
permit to update your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) to reflect any new
permit requirements.
Among the changes, the permittee now reports the sampling analytical results once a year
(by March 1) to the Central Office in an Annual Data Monitoring Report (DMR), as specified
in Part V, Standard Conditions, Section E, until electronic DMR reporting begins. However,
benchmark exceedances or limit violations must be reported to the Regional Office
within 30 days of receiving results. Note some benchmark values have changed.

How does the new General Permit affect Fier Status?
The first sample period of your permit begins in the fourth quarter of the year. Tier 3
actions in Part IV of your permit are triggered by benchmark exceedances on four (4)
occasions beginning on the effective date of this permit and do not count prior
exceedances. Likewise, Tier 2 actions are triggered by two consecutive benchmark
exceedances beginning on the effective date of this permit and do not count prior
exceedances. However, if your facility is already in Tier 2 (monitoring stormwater
discharges monthly) or Tier 3, you must continue monthly monitoring until relieved
through conditions of the permit or by DEMLR staff approval.
When does electronic DMR reporting start?
We are setting up our database with final permit parameters and the outfalls that
permittees submitted on-line. All NCG24 Permittees will receive notification when our
eDMR system is ready for these permittees to register and begin reporting
monitoring data electronically. If you have any questions about the status, please
contact Bethany Georgoulias at [phone] or Robert Patterson at [phone]. If
you did not submit outfall information on-line, we have included a form for you to
return to us. (Note: NO FORM IS ATTACHED if we already have your outfall information.)
Your coverage under the General Permit is transferable only through the specific action of
DEMLR. This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which
may be required by the N.C. Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), 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 DEMLR
Stormwater Permitting Program at [phone].
Sincerely,
for Tracy E. Davis, P.E., C.P.M.

Dear NPDES Permittee:
TRACY DAVIS
nirrrtor
The NCG240000 General Permit expires on September 30, 2017. Our records indicate that your annual
fees are up to date; therefore, your coverage will be automatically renewed unless you submit a
rescission request for this permit. If you no longer need this permit, a rescission form can be found on
our website (http://,goo.gl/BcgDP4).
The new draft General Permit NCG240000 is available for public comment on our website above (see
the table of General Permits there). The notice period concludes in mid -September, and the new
general permit is scheduled to be issued and become effective on October 1, 2017. Upon issuance of
the final general permit, your coverage will be renewed, and we will send you a new Certificate of
Coverage (COC) with the new effective and expiration dates.
Although the renewal process is automatic this year, two items require your action no later than
August 31, 2017:
(1) You must review your permit contact information and notify us of any changes.
(2) You must submit outfaII information on-line for this site in preparation for electronic data
monitoring report (eDMR) requirements.
Permit Contact Information
Please review the permit contact information enclosed. Ensure that Owner Affiliation and Permit
Contact are accurate, and that e-mail addresses are provided wherever possible. Your new COC will be
mailed to both of these contacts once the General Permit is renewed.

To update contact information for your permit: You may simply e-mail us changes to contact
information, unless there is a change to the Owner Affiliation. Because Owner Affiliation is the person
legally responsible for the permit, we require a hard copy of the signed Owner Affiliation Change Form
(enclosed) to make this change. (A change in company Name or Ownership requires a different form, so
please contact us if necessary.) Changes to other contacts can be e-mailed to Laura Alexander at

Submitting Outfall Information for E-Reporting
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) Electronic Reporting Rule in December 2015. The rule requires NPDES regulated
facilities to report certain information electronically, instead of filing written paper reports. EPA is
phasing in the requirements of the rule over a 5-year period. The first phase required regulated entities
to submit Data Monitoring Reports (DMRs) electronically starting on December 21, 2016.
While that deadline has passed, EPA is aware that NC is working on expanding the State's eDMR System
(currently available to NPDES Wastewater Permit -holders) to include Stormwater Program DMR
reporting. As soon as eDMR is available for your permit, we will notify you. In the meantime, we must
collect information about the discharge outfalls at your facility to prepare the system to flow data to
EPA as the new federal rule mandates.
To submit outfall information to DEQ: Go to the following website and enter the discharge outfall
number, type of discharge, receiving water information, representative outfall status information, and
other details no later than August 31, 2017. The website will walk you through all steps.
The website is: https://deg.nc.gov/about/stormwater-program/stormwater-outfall-collection
The reissued general permit will include new electronic reporting requirements. For more information
on EPA's NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule, visit http://www2.epa.goy/compliance/final-national-
pollutant-discharge-elimination-system-npdes-electronic-reporting-rule. For more information on
electronic reporting to INC DEMLR, visit ht_tp://deg.nc.g*ov/about/divisionslenergy_mineral-land-

CENTRAL, FILES,
DWQ/f30G
On April 24, 2013, a site inspection was conducted for the Delway Facility located at 1100 Herring Road, Rose
Hill, Sampson County, North Carolina. A copy of the Compliance Inspection Report is enclosed for your review.
Mr. Steve Cockman, Operations Manager, and Mr. Anthony Teachey, Plant Manager, were also present during
the inspection and their time and assistance is greatly appreciated. Permit coverage authorizes the discharge of
stormwater only from the facility to receiving waters designated as New Hope Creek and Clear Run Swamp, both
Class C;Sw waters in the Cape Fear River Basin. The site visit and file review revealed that the subject facility is
covered by NPDES Stormwater General Permit-NCG240000, Certificate of Coverage- NCG240004.
As a result of the inspection, the facility was found to be in compliance with the conditions of the NCG240000
permit. Please refer to the enclosed Compliance Inspection Report for additional comments and observations
made during the inspection.
Please be advised that violations of the NPDES Stormwater General Permit are subject to a civil penalty
assessment of up to $25,000 per day for each violation. If you or your staff has any questions, comments, or
needs assistance with understanding any aspect of your permit, please contact me at [phone] or by e-mail

Inspection Summary:
Met with Mr. Noel Lyons, President, Mr. Steve Cockman, Operations Manager, and Mr. Anthony Teachey, Plant Manager
to review and discuss the facility's compliance schedule of activities. Facility's Certificate of Coverage authorizes
stormwater only discharges, however since issuance of permit coverage in August 2012 the facility has reported no
discharges and therefore has no analytical data with which to compare to the benchmark values. A Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan has been developed and DMRs indicating no Flow have been recorded and submitted to Central Files as
required by the permit. To date, facility personnel have cleaned out their two stormwater basins and placed rock check
dams and filter socks along drainage paths leading to the basins. There are plans to vegetate the area where material in
windrows has been relocated to further assist with potential pollutant removal. At the time of inspection, the facility
appeared to be well managed with majority of operational activities kept under roof.

Narrative
General
McGill Environmental Systems of N.C., Inc. operates the Delway Facility in Sampson County.
This facility is located at 1 100 Herring Road in Rose Hill, North Carolina, 28458. The contact
person is Steve Cockman and he may reached at [phone]. Division of Water Quality
permit WQ0006816 allows the production of "finished compost."
When the McGill Delway Facility opened it represented the best technology and affordable
design available to McGill. Through the years of operation at Delway and the design and
construction of new McGill plants elsewhere in the world a number of design and operational
improvements have been developed and implemented at the Delway Facility where at all feasible
and beneficial.
Compost Manufacturing Sequence .
Composting at Delway is similar to the Glenville Compost Option, which has been in use for a
number of years in Ireland, and calls'for more active management of the material within the
building through earlier screening and significant curing indoors. This results in diminishing
outside curing and operating a plant on a significantly smaller footprint. All materials are
blended inside the building and then moved to aerated static piles for primary processing. The
material is screened indoors after one week when Process to Further Reduce Pathogens (PFRP)
has been achieved. The screened material is then returned to an aerated static pile for further
processing/curing for an additional 14 plus days. At that point material can be moved a third
time for further curing outside.
In a well controlled aerated static pile environment the most intense biological activity takes
place in the first few days. The early screening further homogenizes the mix, redistributes
moisture and enzymes stimulating further rapid biodegradation. There is also a very significant
space efficiency gained through the screening process.

Inspection Summary:
Met with Mr. Noel Lyons, President, Mr. Steve Cockman, Operations Manager, and Mr. Anthony Teachey, Plant Manager
to review and discuss the facility's compliance schedule of activities. Facility's Certificate of Coverage authorizes
stormwater only discharges, however since issuance of permit coverage in August 2012 the facility has reported no
discharges and therefore has no analytical data with which to compare to the benchmark values. A Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan has been developed and DMRs indicating no flow have been recorded and submitted to Central Files as
required by the permit. To date, facility personnel have cleaned out their two stormwater basins and placed rock check
dams and filter socks along drainage paths leading to the basins. There are plans to vegetate the area where material in
windrows has been relocated to further assist with potential pollutant removal. At the time of inspection, the facility
appeared to be well managed with majority of operational activities kept under roof.

Mike,
As a follow up to our meeting on March 24, 2013 at the Delway facility here are some of the practices and
BMP's we will be considering
as we collect and evaluate stormwater'sampling results. Currently stormwater is directed by site grading away
from the screening and curing areas along a vegetated berm through filter socks and rock check dams into the
two sediment basins located on the site. Additional rock check dams and filter socks will be placed as needed.
Additionally two areas will be seeded with permanent vegetation to further guard against sediment and
pollutants leaving the site. One of these areas is located southeast of the screening area and contains
approximately 40,000 square feet, the other area is located northwest of the processing buildings and
contains approximately 64,000 square feet. We are also evaluating the condition and location of our outfall
sampling points for safety and sample integrity, the use of a V notch weir and outfall pipes are being
considered. Anthony Teachey (Delway Site Manager) and Steve Cockman (Operations Manager) have received
a certificate of completion for "Stormwater BMP Inspection & Maintenance Certification" from North Carolina
State University.
I will update you as we evaluate our sampling results and amend our Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Thanks,
Steve

McGILL DEWAY COMPOST FACILITY
Section A: STORMWATER DISCHARGES: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
Site Plan: McGill Environmental Systems owns and operates the Delway Composting
Facility. The facility is located at 1100 Herring Road, Rose Hill, NC and consists of
approximately 50 acres of which 15 acres are being used in the composting operation.
The site consists of processing buildings, unloading pad, screening and curing
operations. Primary composting takes place under roof on concrete floors and is not
exposed to stormwater during processing. Post composting curing takes place on a pad
adjacent to the processing buildings, screening also takes place on this pad. Finished
compost is stored in bulk next to the screening plant.
A site map is located in the site manager's office.
No significant spills have occurred on the property in the previous three years.
Stormwater Management Plan: The concrete unloading pad is sloped to move
rainwater and feed stocks into the processing building; this eliminates stormwater
contamination from the unloading pad. Stormwater is directed by grading away from
the screening and curing areas along a vegetated berm through filter socks and rock
check dams into the sediment basin.
Spill Prevention and Response Plan: Sawdust and wood chips are kept on hand in the
event of a spill onsite. Off loading of trucks is done on a concrete pad that slopes into
the processing building to contain any spilled material during off loading.
Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program: Good Housekeeping
requires facility personnel to maintain cleanliness and order in areas that could cause
storm water contamination. The following is a list of practices that are used:
• Keep outside areas neat and orderly
Clean up any spilled materials promptly
• Fix leaks on onsite equipment and inspect equipment daily
• Pick up wind blown debris
• Maintain absorbent materials (saw dust, compost)

Steve,
Our office has received your letter requesting an extension of an additional six months to develop and provide a
schedule of activities to achieve full compliance with the conditions of the NCG240000 General Stormwater Permit for
compost facilities. As discussed with you via telephone on 2/25/13 and confirmed via telephone with Ken Pickle of our

Stormwater Permitting Unit on 2/26/13, the intent of the compliance schedule for existing dischargers such as your
facility is to provide a schedule with reasonable time frames as to what actions, if any, it may take to ensure predictable
compliance with all conditions of the permit. Based on your letter, there has been limited rainfall and limited discharges
at the facility to provide sufficient data in order to determine the need for any additional BMPs. This is the type of
information that can be included in your schedule of activities for determining what might be needed to achieve
compliance. It would be reasonable to provide a phased plan of activities to include review of future/additional sampling
results as compared to the established Benchmark Values, design and installation of potential BMPs, and consideration
to revisions of the schedule as may be deemed necessary and approved by this office. Please note that item 2(e) under
the compliance schedule of the permit states that "This General Permit does not allow the continuation of the required
compliance schedule beyond four years from the date of the initial issuance of the COC." Our expectation is that full
compliance is achieved as soon as possible although we recognize that this will take some amount of time, which should
be indicated in the schedule of activities.
In considering your request for a six month extension to provide the aforementioned information, our office is not
agreeable to this amount of time. However, we hereby grant an extension to March 31, 2013 to receive the schedule of
activities as outlined in the General Permit. A printout of this e-mail will be placed in the permit file at the Fayetteville
Regional Office.
If there are any questions or our office can be of any assistance in this matter, please contact me or Belinda Henson.

Bethany,
Considering that Ken has already conducted a site visit and you and he are both familiar with Mr. Lyons from the
stakeholder process, I see no reason to delay issuance of their COC. I would appreciate a copy of the application package
including the aerial map if possible.

Subject: NOI from McGill - Delway Composting Facility in Sampson County
Hi Mike,
Attached is an NOI application from McGill Environmental Systems, Inc. for their composting.operation in Rose Hill,
Sampson County (Delway Facility) for coverage under the NCG24 general permit. This is actually a Type 4 Composting
facility under DWM regs (includes biosolids, food waste, etc.) —typically excluded from the General Permit; however,
most processing, composting, and curing is done indoors here, and so potential discharges are considered stormwater
only. Therefore, we allowed application under NCG24 and feel it's most expeditious to cover this site under a general
permit.
Ken Pickle has visited the site. The compost product is not moved outside into final curing piles until it has met PFRP and
been cured an additional 14 days. Also, we are both familiar with the primary company contact, Noel Lyons, from the
Compost Stakeholders' meetings.
This site will discharge stormwater to New Hope Creek and Clear Run Swamp, both C;Sw waters.

Mike, I'll send a copy of the full application package, which includes a large site plan aerial map, with the issued COC. It
was too much to scan in for this request. Since we are moving to get as many of these facilities covered under NCG24 as
soon as possible (their deadline to apply was July 2012), please let me know if you have any questions or concerns by
August 315t, if at all possible.
Thanks so much!

' Narrative
General
' McGill Environmental Systems of N.C., Inc. operates the Delway Facility in Sampson County.
This facility is located at 1100 Herring Road in Rose Hill, North Carolina, 28458. The contact
person is Steve Cockman and he maybe reached at [phone]. Division of Water Quality
permit WQ0006816 allows the production of "finished compost."
' When the McGill Delway Facility opened it represented the best technology and affordable
design available to McGill. Through the years of operation at Delway and the design and
construction of new McGill plants elsewhere in the world a number of design and operational
' improvements have been developed and implemented at the Delway Facility where at all feasible
and beneficial.

Compost Manufacturing Sequence
' Composting at Delway is similar to the Glenville Compost Option, which has been in use for a
number of years in Ireland, and calls for more active management of the material within the
' building through earlier screening and significant curing indoors. This results in diminishing
outside curing and operating a plant on a significantly smaller Footprint. All materials are
blended inside the building and then moved to aerated static piles for primary processing. The
' material is screened indoors after one week when Process to Further Reduce Pathogens (PFRP)
has been achieved. The screened material is then returned to an aerated static pile for further
processing/curing for an additional 14 plus days. At that point material can be moved a third
' time for further curing outside.
In a well controlled aerated static pile environment the most intense biological activity takes
place in the first few days. The early screening further homogenizes the mix, redistributes
moisture and enzymes stimulating Further rapid biodegradation. There is also a very significant
space efficiency gained through the screening process.
