Untreated lumber is received from vendors on trucks or rail whereby it is unloaded, stored,and introduced into the treatment process where each piece of wood is chemically treated to be resistant to.rot and decay. Lumber remains on the treatment area drip-pad until the dripping of free liquid from the treatment process is considered to have stopped. Once dripping has been determined stopped,the treated lumber is removed to the storage yard,warehouses,or shipping area The process system reclaims and recycles as much of the dripping as possible of treatment chemicals from the pads. Currently,all chemicals used in the treatment process are stored inside the treatment process area in totes and above ground storage tanks. The entire treatment area is covered by roof and is built in such a manner whereby the treatment area would contain any catastrophic accident which could cause the release of all the chemicals being stored. The constant movement and storage of unprocessed and processed lumber does,during very dry periods of time,causes the formation of fine dust on the surface of areas traversed on unpaved areas. The formation of fine dust is kept to a minimum by rotating storage strategies. The potential pollutants which could be expected to be present in the storm water discharge at each outfall would be TSS from the dust accumulated on the yard,traces of treatment chemicals,COPPER and their natural reactive chemistry,resultant a storm event washing over the surface of treated wood that has been staged on the yard awaiting shipment to customers,and COD and BOD from the interaction of oxygen with suspended solids and treatment chemicals An above ground double walled storage tank containing fuel for on-site vehicle operation resides on a concrete pad that is covered and diked in order to contain a sufficient quantity of the contents of the tank in the event of a spill. The handling of waste by the facility is dependent upon the characterization of the waste. Normally,the majority of waste generated at the facility is considered to be non-hazardous and is therefore placed into appropriate dumpsters strategically located throughout the facility.These wastes are removed from the facility on an as need basis and delivered to local landfills by contracted waste carriers. Hazardous waste materials are placed into hazardous waste satellite containers whereby they are accumulated for subsequent transfer into hazardous waste drums which are dated, labeled as to contents,and placed into secure storage awaiting removal from the premises by a licensed hazardous waste carrier. Due to vehicle maintenance being contracted off-site,there is little waste oil,lubricants,or maintenance fluids with respect to vehicle maintenance. Universal wastes are treated according to regulation and frequency of occurrence.

BMPs may include processes,procedures, schedules of activity,restrictions on practices,and other management practices to prevent or reduce water pollution. Baseline BMPs are general common sense practices which are inexpensive,relatively simple and applicable to a wide variety of industries and activities. The facility has implemented the following baseline BMPs with emphasis on management practices that ensure continued vigilance of proper facility operations and a methodology of inspections and oversight that continually reviews the program to facilitate effective pollution prevention. Good Housekeeping Those areas of the facility which may contribute pollutants to stormwater discharges are maintained in a.clean and orderly manner.All employees are trained in basic clean up procedures. Waste media are collected for disposal on a regular basis.The floors of the kiln,stacker building, and treatment area,as well as the ground surfaces are swept/cleaned on a regular basis.Material storage areas are properly maintained and all containers are labeled in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.This BMP is addressed in more detail in Section 5. Preventative Maintenance Preventative maintenance inspections of facility equipment are conducted on a monthly basis to ensure that all systems are working properly and to identify conditions(e.g. cracks,leaks,and corrosion)which may cause breakdowns or failures.The most important areas for inspection are the aboveground storage tanks.and associated above ground piping. Defective equipment, found during inspections,is promptly repaired or replaced. The completed"Monthly Maintenance Inspection"forms are maintained on-site in this plan. This BMP is addressed in more detail in Section 5. Visual Inspections In addition to the"Monthly Maintenance Inspections"of plant systems and equipment,outdoor storage areas to include loading/unloading and the storm water drainage system(including the drainage swales and outfalis)are conducted semi annually."Facility Semi-Annual Stormwater Inspection"forms are included in page 58 and copies of the completed forms are also maintained on-site. The goal of these regular semi-annual inspections is to confirm that chosen Best Management Practices for storm water pollution prevention are in place and working properly. This BMP is addressed in more detail in Section 9. Spill Prevention and Response The area with the highest spill potential is the fuel deck which facilitates vehicle fueling. The preventative maintenance/inspection programs outlined above are one of the most important methods for spill prevention. They ensure that faulty equipment and deteriorating storage containers are detected before a leak/release occurs. Good housekeeping practices also reduce the potential for accidental pollutant releases, as it ensures that containers are properly stored and maintained.Employees have also been trained in proper materials handling methods. Finally,in order to prevent spills during loading/uploading,care is taken to ensure that all drums/containers are tightly closed and handled appropriately.Any spills which occur at this facility is documented and records are maintained on-site. This BMP is addressed in more detail in Section 4. Sediment and Erosion Control All undeveloped areas surrounding the plant,including the stormwater drainage swales,are either planted with agricultural crops or grassed to prevent soil erosion. These areas are inspected semi- annually(Facility Semi-Annual Stormwater Inspection)to ensure that erosion is kept at a minimum and grass and/or appropriate vegetation is replanted if bare spots are observed developing. Management of Stormwater Runoff Management of stormwater runoff is accomplished through practices that control and divert stormwater in such a manner that natural filtration of stormwater runoff occurs which reduces the concentration and amount of pollutants in stormwater discharge from the site. This is accomplished through management practices which minimize outside inventory storage of treated lumber,management of areas which provide exposure of other materials and operations,and vigilance as to the healthy integrity of vegetation in and around stormwater swales and outfalls. In this manner,exposure of pollutants is minimized and stormwater runoff can be managed in each of the five stormwater outfalls to reduce flow velocity of the water. Reduction of flow velocity combined with the flow of the water through large areas of vegetation provides the opportunity for pollutants to disperse,dilute,and be naturally captured on site. Employee Training An employee training program is provided to inform personnel at all levels as to their responsibility for assuring that the components and goals.of this S WPPP are upheld and complied with.Employee training addresses each component of the S WPPP, including how and why tasks are to be implemented. This BMP is addresses in detail in Section 6. Recordkeeping and Reporting Recordkeeping and reporting procedures are defined in various sections of this SWPPP and Summarized in Section 9. The inspection,recordkeeping, and reporting program is established to monitor pollution prevention practices,maintain storm water drainage areas,prevent spills and leaks from reaching navigable waters,identify and document needed improvements,and define responsibilities and communications in the event of a related emergency. Activity-Based and Site-Specific Best Management Practice Specific Best Management Practices(BMPs)for industrial activities which may contaminate storm water include fueling, storage of treatment materials,outside storage for treated product,and by-products of activities. Other site-specific BMPs consider storm water flow diversion,exposure m. .*__ation practices,mitigation practices,and sedimentation and erosion prevention practices. _T3Te of activity s ecific BMP Activity specific BAP employed 1.Tank stored in a bermed area. Fueling 2.Dry sorbent material used to clean-up small spills. 3. Topping off of fuel tanks is discouraged. 1.Liquids and chemicals stored in tanks inside of the treatment building where entire contents are contained by the architectural construction of the building. Treatment material storage 2.Tanker off-load area slanted to capture tanker leaks, spills,and catastrophic events. 3.A mechanical dam/gate has been constructed on Stormwater Outfall#2 as a secondary containment strategy in the event of a catastrophic spill which nu grates outside the treatment area. 1. Treated product inventory is minimized. 2. Treated material is dead packed and stacked in such a Outside storage of treated product manner to minimize stormwater contact. 3. Treated material is placed on bolsters thereby avoiding direct contact with the ground and stormwater. ,.•� 1. Water condensate from drying operations is collected Activity by-products and recycled back into the treatment process. Site-Specific BAPS Activity to mitigate pollution exposure 1.Fuel oil stored in closed tanks. Exposure Minimization Practices 2.Fuel oil storage tanks cleaned as necessary. Mitigation Practices 1. Fueling performed under supervision. Sedimentation and Erosion Prevention 1. Drainage swales are grassed. Practices 2. Sedimentation basin employed BMP Assessment Impacted Area Activity to address assessment Training Liquid Storage Training is part of this S WPPP 1. Swales have been dressed and planted with vegetation. Additionally, rip-rap (stone)has been placed in the swales.All Drainage swales and swale manicuring has been done to assist Stormwater Flow Control property egress in the filtering of the stormwater,control of stormwater flow,and to assist in the prevention of stormwater erosion. Signage added at the fuel deck to remind Signs Liquid Storage Fueling employees of housekeeping and pollution r"`tI prevention policies.
