Section 1. Facility Activities and Process:
McRae Woodtreating, Inc. is a wood treating facility. The facility pressure treats southern yellow pine
using two different preservatives: CA-C (copper azole type C) and Ecolife.
Per the previous permit renewal fact sheet, the plant switched from CCA (chromated copper arsenate) to
ACQ (alkaline copper quaternary) treatment in 2004 (tanks and cylinders were cleaned and CCA was
shipped offsite). The drip pad is covered, curbed and bermed, and the water is directed to a pit and then
to a holding tank, where it is recycled back into the treating plant. The 2010 permit application states
only stormwater from roofs and ground water discharge off the site (no water from the drip pad runs
offsite) and sample are collected from 3 to 4 different areas where water runs off the site. Per the 2018
renewal application, the facility has changed their chemical preservative from ACQ (ammonium copper
quat) to CA-C (copper azole type C) and EL-2 preservative. Per the September 2022 inspection report,
the facility is using a preservative called CA type C, which does not contain Chromium or Arsenic like
the preservative previously used (ACQ). The current preservative contains Copper and Azole, which is a
binding agent to keep the Copper in solution.
Outfall SW001:
Drainage area contains a covered loading and drip pad area, treatment building, office, and shop.
Why Industrial Sites with Stormwater are Subject to a Permit: Federal NPDES regulations define
stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity in 40 CFR §122.26 (b)(14) as: "the discharge
from any conveyance that is used for collecting and conveying storm water and that is directly related to
manufacturing, processing or raw materials storage areas at an industrial plant. The term does not
include discharges from facilities or activities excluded from the NPDES program under this part 122.
For the categories of industries identified in this section, the term includes, but is not limited to, storm
Page 1 of 6

water [sic] discharges from industrial plant yards; immediate access roads and rail lines used or traveled
by carriers of raw materials, manufactured products, waste material, or byproducts used or created by
the facility; material handling sites; refuse sites; sites used for the application or disposal of process
waste waters (as defined at part 401 of this chapter); sites used for the storage and maintenance of
material handling equipment; sites used for residual treatment, storage, or disposal; shipping and
receiving areas; manufacturing buildings; storage areas (including tank farms) for raw materials, and
intermediate and final products; and areas where industrial activity has taken place in the past and
significant materials remain and are exposed to storm water. For the purposes of this paragraph, material
handling activities include storage, loading and unloading, transportation, or conveyance of any raw
material, intermediate product, final product, byproduct or waste product. The term excludes areas
located on plant lands separate from the plant's industrial activities, such as office buildings and
accompanying parking lots as long as the drainage from the excluded areas is not mixed with storm
water [sic] drained from the above described areas."
Section 2. Monitoring Information and Compliance History:
• May 2011 to November 2022, benchmarks exceeded for:
o TSS:4x
o COD:4x
o Copper: IOx
• Per the September 2022 inspection report, several monitoring periods have been missed;
monitoring only conducted and recorded for May 2011, May 2012, August 2012, February 2014,
February 2015, December 2016, December 2018 and November 2021.
o Results indicated benchmark exceedances for Copper
o All other parameters below the respective benchmark values
• NOV-2011-PC-0057 issued January 2011 for failure to develop/implement a SPPP and failure to
perform analytical and qualitative monitoring
• September 2022 inspection found several deficiencies:
o NOV issued (see below)
o During previous permit cycle, monitoring was only conducted May 2011, May 2012,
August 2012, February 2014, February 2015, December 2016, December 2018, and
November 2021
o Monitoring results indicate exceedances of the copper benchmark value
NOV-2022-PC-0583 issued September 2022 for an inadequate SPPP and failure to
conduct/record monitoring results
DEMLR FRO staff recommendation 9/2022: Based on the change in preservative as well as the
available monitoring records indicating results well below the benchmark values for Chromium
and Arsenic, the removal of Chromium and Arsenic from the monitoring parameters in the
renewed permit should be considered.
Section 3. Proposed Monitoring for Stormwater Discharges:
The Division considered potential pollutants from past and present industrial activities and data was
submitted for July 2011 to November 2021. Quantitative sampling included BOD, COD, TSS, arsenic,
chromium, copper, ammonia, and pH.
Page 2 of 6

Parameters are based on potential pollutants in the drainage area, sampling results, and in some cases,
dependent upon future activities (e.g., ash removal through the drainage area). Below is a table of the
proposed monitoring for each outfall at the McRae Woodtreating, Inc. site.

Stormwater Benchmarks and Tiered Response: Rather than limits, North Carolina NPDES
Stormwater permits contain benchmark concentrations. Stormwater benchmarks are numerical action
levels for stormwater monitoring. Benchmarks are not effluent limits, and benchmark exceedances are
not permit violations. Benchmarks provide facilities a tool for assessing the significance of pollutants in
stormwater discharges and the effectiveness of best management practices (BMPs). Benchmark
concentrations are intended as guidelines for the facility's development and implementation of the
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP).
Benchmark exceedances require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions,
increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater BMPs in a tiered program. The permit establishes a
tiered approach to specify actions the permittee must take in response to analytical results above
Page 3 of 6

benchmark concentrations. The tiered structure of the permit provides the permittee and DEMLR wide
flexibility to address issues that may arise with one or more parameters and/or outfalls.
Metals benchmarks are calculated to mimic acute water quality standards and with the guidance of
DWR. NC DWR follows established federal procedures for calculating acute standards when developing
the benchmarks. Just like the acute standards, metals benchmarks normally reflect one half of the
calculated Final Acute Value (the "1/2 FAV"). In most cases, translation into total recoverable values is
based on an assumed hardness of 25 mg/L and a total suspended solids (TSS) concentration of 10 mg/L.
Acute standards protect aquatic life from negative impacts of short-term exposure to higher levels of
chemicals where the discharge enters a waterbody. The Stormwater Permitting Program applies this
approach because of the ephemeral nature of rainfall events.
The Division may evaluate results to determine if a smaller suite of parameters for some outfalls is
adequate to characterize potential pollution or BMP effectiveness. For example, one or more metals or
other parameters may serve as an adequate tracer for the presence of ash pollution during disturbance or
ash removal in specific drainage areas at this site. For parameters that do not have a stormwater
benchmark, the Division may develop a benchmark value if appropriate toxicity data become available
or if rising trends in concentrations suggest a persistent source.
A summary of the benchmarks in the draft permit, and their basis, is below:

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan: The proposed permit conditions reflect the EPA and NC's
pollution prevention approach to stormwater permitting. The Division's maintains that implementation
of Best Management Practices (BMPs) and traditional stormwater management practices that control the
source of pollutants meets the definition of Best Available Technology (BAT) and Best Conventional
Pollutant Control Technology (BCT). The permit conditions are not numeric effluent limitations but are
designed to be flexible requirements for implementing site -specific plans to minimize and control
pollutants in stormwater discharges associated with the industrial activity. Title 40 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) § 122.44(k)(2) authorizes the use of BMPs in lieu of numeric effluent limitations in
NPDES permits when the agency finds numeric effluent limitations to be infeasible. The agency may
also impose BMP requirements which are "reasonably necessary" to carry out the purposes of the Act
Page 4 of 6

under the authority of 40 CFR 122.44(k)(3). The conditions proposed in this draft permit are included
under the authority of both of these regulatory provisions. In essence, the pollution prevention and BMP
requirements operate as limitations on effluent discharges that reflect the application of BAT/BCT.
Flexibility in Tier Responses: Tier Two actions provide an opportunity for the permittee to propose an
alternative monitoring plan for approval by the Region:
• Alternatively, in lieu of steps 2 and 3, the permittee may, after two consecutive exceedances,
exercise the option of contacting the DEMLR Regional Engineer as provided below in Tier
Three. The Regional Engineer may direct the response actions on the part of the permittee as
provided in Tier Three, including reduced or additional sampling parameters or frequency.
• If pursuing the alternative above after two consecutive exceedances, the permittee may propose
an alternative monitoring plan for approval by the Regional Engineer.
The permit therefore allows the permittee to petition the Regional Office for monitoring changes sooner
than Tier Three (upon any four benchmark exceedances) and gives guidance on one option to take. For
example, the permittee may request that mercury only be monitored semi-annually under the tiers, or
that only parameters over the benchmark be monitored more frequently. In this way, changes to the
monitoring scheme for any outfall could be handled outside of a permit modification.
Other Proposed Requirements:
• It is standard for Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) requirements to include an
annual certification that stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-
stormwater discharges, and if any are identified, how those discharges are permitted or otherwise
authorized.
• Requirement to submit a request for permit modification if the facility identifies or creates any
new outfalls, removes outfalls, or alters any drainage area that changes potential pollutants.
• The Division expects the permittee to apply best professional judgment and consider the safety
of its personnel in fulfilling sampling obligations under the permit.
• Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs). If a
state does not establish a system to receive such submittals, then permittees must submit DMRs
electronically to the EPA.
• Quarterly QualitativeNisual Monitoring to assure regular observation of outfalls throughout
year.
Section 4. Chances from previous permit to draft:
• Monitoring increased from semi-annually to quarterly for all parameters (qualitative and
quantitative)
• "No discharge" clarifications made
• eDMR requirement added
• Boilerplate language moved into body of the permit; boilerplate no longer attached
• Facility address updated based on permittee comments
• Monitoring for total hardness added as monitoring for hardness dependent metals is required
• Monitoring for Estimated Average Monthly Oil Usage added to the permit as standard
monitoring requirement for all SW permits
• Benchmarks updated for parameters per guidance from DWR Standards group on stormwater
benchmarks

Ammonia nitrogen split into summer and winter benchmarks
Monitoring for arsenic and chromium removed for all outfalls as wood treatment chemical
changed (per DEMLR FRO staff)
o Monitoring data all below benchmarks
Section 5. Changes from draft to final:
• None
Section 6. Discussions with the Facility and Regional Office:
• Initial contact with facility: 8/12/2022
• Initial contact with Regional Office: 8/12/2022
• Draft sent to CO peer review: N/A
• Draft sent to Regional Office: 1/3/2023
• Final permit sent for supervisor signature: 2/27/2023
Section 7. Comments received on draft permit:
Mike Lawyer (FRO; via email 1/10/2023): Subject draft permit looks good. Under the Tier
Three response actions table it says "Monitor all parameters monthly (qualitative and
quantitative) at appropriate outfall(s)." Does this mean that Tier Three now triggers monthly
monitoring? I'm thinking of a scenario where a facility is not in Tier Two, but has had four
benchmark exceedances during the permit term, which do not have to be consecutive
exceedances.
o DEMLR response: The Tier Response condition in the permit is the standard language
used in all individual permits. Monthly monitoring is required if they hit Tier III, but this
isn't a new requirement to my knowledge.

Good Morning,
Thank you again for following up with us. With regard to the requested information:
1- We do only have 1 outfall location
2 - The Stream Index Number is 13-16-5
3 - The industrial activity that occurs on our property is that we pressure treat southern yellow pine using two different
preservatives. The first preservative is CA-C (copper azole type C) currently purchased from the Viance
Corporation. The second preservative we use is called Ecolife also purchased from the Viance corporation. The outfall
area is at a drainage ditch near the trucking entrance to the property.
I have also attached an updated a copy of our latest analytical report (results page), entire report available at your
request. Similarly, I have attached a summary spreadsheet showing the latest report.
Please let me know if you need any further information.
Thank you,

Good Afternoon,
Thank you for your help earlier. There is just a slight difference in the updated form and the forms that I had on file. I
would also like to add regarding our activity that is being done in the drainage area that we are no longer treating with
the old chemical known as CCA ( copper chrome and arsenic AKA copper chromate). We have not used that chemical
since 2004.
In addition, I am trying to bring us up to date regarding the eDMR. We had sent the registration form in December of
2000, but had heard there were problems with the registrations. I have attached the registration form that we
completed from Dec. 2020 with the only change being our address. As mentioned in a earlier email, our facility has not
moved but the address change reflects our correct 911 address. We have switched our contact information to this
address after an incident where the authorities were responding to a break in and they went to the wrong location.
Please let me know if you need any additional information regarding the eDMR.
Thanks,

Good Afternoon,
We have received your request for updated information regarding our permit. Upon review of the listed information we
have verified that all of our information, industrial activity and operational procedures are the same with the exception of a
911 address. Our physical location has not changed but our 911 address system has us listed as 105 National St instead
of the 455 Julius Chambers Ave. The Julius Chambers Avenue is the name of a short portion of NC Hwy 109 inside the
city limits, and National Street is the name of our private drive located off of Julius Chambers Ave. Prior to your
contacting us, we were inspected by Mike Lawyer. As a result of his inspection and recommendation, we have made
several improvements to our documentation procedures. We have always strived to keep our risk of stormwater
contamination to a minimum, and we have welcomed his feedback to make improvements. As mentioned earlier, we
have made improvements to our documentation procedures and so you will find the attached spreadsheet with our
sample records to be sparse. We have already implemented the changes to rectify this issue moving forward and have a
stormwater sample awaiting analysis at the lab. Please let me know if I need to make this address change with Bethany
Georgoulias as we have not moved but are only changing our address to reflect our correct 911 addressing system. Also,
please let me know if you need any further information.

Good morning,

I am working on renewing the individual stormwater permit for McRae Woodtreating Inc. (NCS000291). I need
additional information in order to 1) confirm that the information I have is correct and 2) make sure the permit
adequately serves the needs of the facility. Please provide the following:
• Confirmation on the number of outfalls and outfall coordinates;
• SIC/NAICS code;
• Description of industrial activity in each drainage area;
• An electronic spreadsheet summarizing all of the monitoring data that has been collected since the
effective date of the current permit;
• Verification that the information in the renewal application is still complete and correct; and
• An explanation of any operational changes since the renewal application was submitted.
Enter your stormwater permit number into the Stormwater Permit Summary Report and you will see a form that includes
the address of the facility, contact information for the permit, and the regulated stormwater outfall(s) for the facility. Please
review the facility information to make sure it is correct. Information can be updated using the links provided below, where

Permit: NCS000291 Owner - Facility: McRae Woodtreating Inc
Inspection Date: 09/22/2022 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
Inspection conducted as part of the permit renewal process. Permit renewal application submitted in early 2018. Reviewed
facility's current Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), which is dated March 2018. The SWPPP contains the
major components, however there is no documentation pertaining to the annual review and update requirements for
employee training, listing of significant spills or notation that none have occurred, non-stormwater certification, etc.
Additionally, there is no documentation of a feasibility study or facility inspections. The site map needs more detail to show
the location of the stormwater outfall(s), material storage areas, disposal areas, loading/unloading areas, site topography,
drainage features, drainage areas for each outfall, direction of stormwater flow, etc. In reviewing the facility's available
monitoring records, it appeared that several monitoring periods have been missed. The monitoring frequency under the
current/expired permit is semi-annual, however monitoring was only conducted and recorded during the following periods;
May 2011, May 2012, August 2012, February 2014, February 2015, December 2016, December 2018 and November 2021.
The monitoring results indicate exceedances of the benchmark value for Copper with all other parameters below the
respective benchmark values. Vehicle maintenance is conducted onsite, but less than 55 gallons of new motor oil is used
per month. After the SWPPP/records review, observations were made of site conditions including the covered loading area
and drip pad, sheltered product storage area, ASTs with secondary containment, and stormwater outfall.
Based on the information provided in the permit renewal application and onsite discussion with Mr. Rodney McRae, facility is
currently using a preservative called CA type C, which does not contain Chromium or Arsenic like the preservative previously
used (ACQ). The current preservative contains Copper and Azole, which is a binding agent to keep the Copper in solution.
Based on this change in preservative as well as the available monitoring records indicating results well below the benchmark
values for Chromium and Arsenic, the removal of Chromium and Arsenic from the monitoring parameters in the renewed
permit should be considered.

Summary of Best Management Practices
From the beginning of the design of our facility, everything was designed to
minimize the impact on storm water runoff with regards to the pressure treating
process. All of our untreated lumber (southern yellow pine) comes into the
treatment area from the left side (when facing the cylinder door), and this
material is then removed to the drip pad from the right side after treatment. This
entire process happens on a sloped pad which is designed to catch any chemical
that may drip off, and then that chemical is recaptured and reused. After the
lumber is treated it remains on the sloped drip pad until there are no visible signs
of dripping. Furthermore, after all visible signs of dripping have ceased a
substantial portion of our treated lumber is then stored under shed which
prevents rain from running off the processed packs. All of our treating chemicals
are stored in tanks and areas such that any spills could be contained in the event
of malfunction, rupture or equipment failure into secondary containment.
In addition to the design of the plant, we also make every effort to maintain
our equipment by scheduled preventative maintenance to prevent leaks from
machinery contaminating the ground. And, we notify any third parties that come
to our property to transport lumber of any visible leaks that we see.

Changes to Our Facility Since Last Permit Issuance
Our overall treating process and safe handling practices have not
significantly changed since our last permit issuance. However, our chemical
preservative has changed. At the time of our last permit issuance, we were using
ACQ (ammonium copper quat) under the trade name Preserve, and we are now
using CA-C (copper azole type C) which is also under the trade name Preserve. In
addition, we are also using EL-2 preservative, which is manufactured under the
trade name Ecolife. The safe handling and storage practices remain the same as
before.
At the time of this writing, we have reviewed our storm water prevention
plan, and made changes to reflect the different preservative. Furthermore, it is
our desire to be in complete compliance, and we recognize even plans with the
best of intentions can be tweaked or have room for improvement. It is with this
desire that we have reviewed our plan to make any necessary tweaks going
forward.
