Dear Mr. Vogler:
On August 29, 2019, Melissa Joyner and Mike Lawyer from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Energy,
Mineral and Land Resources (DEMLR), conducted a site inspection for the Valley Proteins, Inc. — Fayetteville Division
facility located at 1309 Industrial Drive, Fayetteville, Cumberland County, North Carolina. A copy of the Compliance
Inspection Report is enclosed for your review. Matt Hill, Wastewater Supervisor and Tom Shoe, Environmental Manager
were also present during the inspection and their time and assistance is greatly appreciated. The site visit and file review
revealed that the subject facility is covered by NPDES Stormwater General Permit NCG060000 under Certificate of
Coverage NCG060160. Permit coverage authorizes the discharge of stormwater from the facility to receiving waters
designated as the Cape Fear River, a Class WS-IV, CA waterbody in the Cape Fear River Basin.
As a result of the inspection, the facility was found to be in compliance with the conditions of the NCG060000 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 have any questions, comments, or needs

Inspection Summary
Melissa Joyner and Mike Lawyer met with Matt Hill, Wastewater Supervisor and Tom Shoe, Environmental Manager and
conducted an inspection at the Valley Proteins, Inc. - Fayetteville Division facility. The inspection was initiated due to a
complaint received by this Office from personnel with the Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Air Quality about
standing stormwater observed within the facility grounds. This was not observed during the inspection. Ms. Joyner and Mr.
Lawyer were informaed that a drain had been clogged causing an excess of stormwater but this water was draining directly
to a wastewater containment treatment system owned by the facility.
Initially the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) was reviewed. It was orderly and contained the information required
by General Permit NCGO60000. The Drainage Pad Area should be labeled on the Site Map. The SPPP was being thoroughly
implemented by the facility. The Analytical and Qualitative Monitoring forms were reviewed. Fecal Coliform does not need to
be monitored because meat by-products are only being processed at this facility. In the first period of 2019, there was an
exceedance of the benchmark value of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) at Outfall #2. If there is a sample result of a
consecutive exceedance of COD in the second period of 2019 for Outfall #2 (omitting periods with no discharge), the facility
will be in Tier Two and monthly monitoring will need to be initiated for all parameters at this outfall until three consecutive
sample results are below or within the benchmark range. On the Qualitative Monitoring form, if there is no discharge, "No
Discharge" is the only information which should be noted on the form.
The facility grounds and Outfalls #1, #2 and #3 were inspected. There was no active discharge from Outfall #1. The water
was being pumped back to the on -site wastewater containment treatment system where it was treated prior to being
discharged to PWC. The discharge point for Outfall #2 was observed with no issues. It was unsafe to easily access this
discharge point and it was recommended that the water sample be collected from the drop inlet upslope of this location. If
the sampling location for Outfall #2 is changed, the site map will need to be updated with the new location of Outfall #2.
Outfall #3 was also observed with no issues.
