Subject: Individual Permit Renewal,NPDES Permit NCS000101
Dear Mr. Lowther:
Enclosed is the renewal application for Stormwater NPDES Permit Number NCS000101. Please record
the changes indicated on the Renewal Application Form. Requested supplemental information is
provided,including the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Development and Implementation
Certification. Please also note the enclosed Representative Outfall Status (ROS)Request Form.
In Section B of the current permit,Analytical Monitoring Requirements,Footnote 3,representative
P sampling locations are listed,including all mill basins are included except Basin J. Per conversation
with Aisha Lau, formerly of DWQ,Basin I was supposed to be listed as representative of J,but Basin J
was inadvertently omitted from the list. Please list Basin I as the representative sampling point for
Basin J. This request is also listed on the attached Repesentative Outfall Status Request Form.
Also in Section B of the current permit is a Monitoring Schedule. The left-hand column,Monitoring
Period,begins with"Year 1 —Spring". However,the permit was issued in August of 2007, which made
the first monitoring period Fall. This agrees with the Start and End columns in the same Schedule.
Thus,the final Monitoring Period will be Spring,2012 and not Fall as shown in the first column. Data
for that sampling period will be sent as soon as it is available,completing this application.
If you have questions or need additional information,please call Ed Kreul at(910)362-4883 or Wallace
Coverdale at(910)362-4590.
I certify,under penalty of law,that this document and all attachments were prepared under my direction
or supervision in accordance with a system designed to assure that qualified personnel properly gather
and evaluate the information submitted. Based on my inquiry of the person or persons who manage the
system,or those persons directly responsible for gathering the information,the information submitted
is,to the best of my knowledge and belief,true,accurate,and complete. I am aware that there are
significant penalties for submitting false information,including the possibility of fines and
imprisonment for knowing violations.
Sincerely,

Stormwater Best Management Practices Summary 2012
NPDES Stormwater Permit NCS000101
International Paper Mill
Riegelwood, NC
At the International Paper Mill, approximately 90% of runoff from
the main mill facility drains to the mill wastewater treatment system
(WWTS), and is treated under the mill's NPDES wastewater permit.
Runoff from the remaining 10% of the mill and from a few outlying
areas is covered in the mill Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
(SWPPP). The SWPPP identifies 19 stormwater basins, where
numerous Best Management Practices (BMPs) are used to control or
prevent erosion and sediment runoff.
Non-structural BMPs include the Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plan; the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures Plan; the
Hazardous Waste Handling Program; The Facility Response Plan; and
the Waterfront Dock Transfers manual. All stormwater basins
include signs marking the boundaries of stormwater runoff and the
locations of outfalls. Activities such as chemical storage, painting,
and vehicle maintenance are forbidden in stormwater basins, and
this information is also posted. Basic good housekeeping is
enforced, and numerous mill employees participate in monthly basin
inspections. Annual training is required for all employees working in
stormwater basins. Street and storm drain maintenance is a focus in
stormwater basins. Grasses and other vegetation are maintained
wherever feasible.
Structural BMPs and other control measures are used to reduce
erosion and sedimentation while promoting groundwater recharge.
Grassy swales and meandering natural streams carry flow, and
geotextile cloth with gravel or riprap covers bare areas. Jersey
dividers protect unpaved road edges. Earthen collection ponds and
basins allow groundwater infiltration. Rock filters surround several
outfalls, and a small French drain system directs runoff to one
outfall. Riprapped swales, a retaining berm, rock checkdams, and
drainage channels direct flow.

In areas of high traffic and high runoff flow, hardened structural
BMPs direct flow, prevent erosion and pollutants from entering
runoff, and provide flood control. Concrete and paved surfaces and
plastic ditch liners harden surfaces. Concrete containments, sumps,
curbing, and two oil/water separators (OWS) protect against runoff
contamination. Runoff is conveyed via pipes and concrete structures
such as catch basins, culverts, and outfall structures. A concrete
flow diverter and a concrete flow diffuser further control flow.
Planned BMPs: Roadwork is underway, and more is planned, that
will reduce the potential for erosion in Basins E, F, and G. In
conjunction with the road construction, the OWS at #2 wood chip
truck dump (Basin E) has been re-engineered to improve runoff
quality, and will be constructed in 2012. After construction,
vegetation will be established along the new roadways.

Significant Changes In Industrial Activities
NPDES Stormwater Permit NCS000101
International Paper Mill
Riegelwood, NC
International Paper's Riegelwood Mill has made several changes in
industrial activity that reduced the potential for stormwater
pollution.
An out of service ground level pipeline was removed from Basins G
and H. Previously this pipeline had prevented effective control of
stormwater flow along the west fenceline; now the area is shaped
into a long riprap swale. Runoff is currently directed to 4 discharge
points along the west fenceline, whereas previously there were 15
outfalls.
A water treatment chemical feed system was removed from storage
in Basin F to an area that drains to the mill wastewater treatment
system, eliminating the chance for a spill to stormwater.
New mill procedures have reduced material storage in stormwater
basins. Maintenance material, mainly steel and concrete, is no
longer permitted in Basin F, and all miscellaneous materials have
been removed from the area. In Basin G, storage is limited to
currently usable maintenance material, eliminating most material
storage.
