Subject: Inactive NPDES Permit

Individual Stormwater Permit
Cumberland County
Dear Mr. Keith:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
This letter is to inform you that the NPDES Permit NCS000147 issued for Fayetteville Fibers on
Cedar Creek Road will be set as inactive. If you would like for the permit to be officially rescinded then
it must be requested by the owner of the permit or current representative.
Mike Lawyer from the Fayetteville Regional Office did a site visit September 28, 2009 and was
informed that Cedar Creek Fibers LLC (owner of Fayetteville Fibers) went bankrupt in 2003. Given the
current condition of the site, which primarily provides temporary storage for office supplies and
equipment, the site does not need an NPDES Stormwater Permit. If conditions change such that your
facility has industrial activity, you may be obligated depending on the industry to immediately obtain
NPDES permit coverage for your stormwater discharge. Otherwise, the discharge becomes subject to
enforcement as an un-permitted discharge. An informational flyer has been included which details
covered industries.
If you have any questions about this matter, please contact me at (919) 807-6368,

Subject: RE: Individual Stomwater Permit NCS000147 Question
Mike,
Thanks for looking into this site more. I think the best thing would be to set the site as inactive in BIMS. The owner of
the permit has to ask for the permit to be rescinded and I am not sure how we would do that in this case. The fees have
already been waived. I can send a letter to Mr. Keith explaining that he doesn't need a permit currently but if an
industry does move on site then a permit might be required as you said. Let me know if you want me to add an specific.

Subject: RE: Individual Stomwater Permit NC5000147 Question
Brian,
I did a site visit yesterday to the address listed in BIMS for the subject facility. The facility appeared to be unoccupied,
but had a sign on the door to contact Tom Keith for information. After speaking with Mr. Keith, he informed me that
Cedar Creek Fibers LLC (owner of Fayetteville Fibers) went bankrupt in 2003. He has owned/managed the property for
the past five years and said that the building is only being used for temporary storage of some office furniture and some
equipment for the Goodyear tire plant that is also here in Fayetteville. I did not observe any materials or equipment
outside during my site visit, which would confirm this. I informed Mr. Keith that should an industry move into the facility
that permit coverage might be required depending on the industrial activity and exposure.
I think I would recommend rescission of the NC5000147 permit, but I'm not sure about the best way to proceed. Can"We
simply rescind the permit in BIMS without sending a rescission letter to the previous owner? Or, do we need to get Mr.
Keith to submit an ownership change form along with a rescission request? Either way, I think would be beneficial to
send Mr. Keith some kind of letter regarding permit coverage requirements so that both us and him have
documentation pertaining to this facility. If we can send him something like this, his address is:

Cedar Creek Fibers LLC
Permit Number NCS000147
Cumberland County
Dear Permittee:
Your facility is currently covered for Stormwater discharge under NPDES Permit NCS000147. This permit expires
on August 30, 2004. North Carolina Administrative Code (15A NCAC 21-1,0105(e)) requires that an application
for permit renewal be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current permit. In order to assure your
continued coverage under your permit, you must apply to the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) for renewal of
your permit. To make this renewal process easier, we are informing you in advance that your permit will be
expiring. Enclosed you will find an individual permit renewal application form, supplemental information request,
and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan certification.
Filing the application form along with the requested supplimental information will constitute your application for
renewal of your permit. As stated above, the application form must be completed and returned along with all
requested information by April 4, 2004 in order for the permit to be renewed by August 30, 2004.
Failure to request renewal by April 4, 2004 may result in a civil assessment of at least $500.00. Larger penalties
may be assessed depending on the delinquency of the request. Discharge of stormwater from your facility without
coverage under a valid stormwater NPDES permit would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and could
result in assessments of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day.
If you have any questions regarding the permit renewal procedures please contact Bill Mills of the Stormwater and
General Permits Unit at (919) 733-5083, ext. 548.

PART II MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR PERMITTED
DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
The permittee shall develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, herein after referred to as
the Plan. This Plan shall be considered public information in accordance with Part 11I, Standard
Conditions, Section E, Paragraph 3 of this individual permit. The Plan shall include, at a
minimum, the following items:
1. Site Plan. The site plan shall provide a description of the physical facility and the
potential pollutant sources which may be expected to contribute to contamination of
stormwater discharges. The site plan shall contain the following:
(a) A general. location map (USGS quadrangle map or appropriately drafted
equivalent map), showing the facility's location in relation to transportation
routes and surface waters, the name of the receiving water(s) to which the
stormwater outfall(s) discharges, or if the discharge is to a municipal separate
storm sewer system, the name of the municipality and the ultimate receiving
waters; and accurate latitude and longitude of the point(s) of discharge.
(b) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities,
outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and
waste disposal practices.
(c) A site map drawn to scale with the distance legend indicating location of
industrial activities (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas
and loading and unloading areas), drainage structures, drainage areas for each
outfall and activities occurring in the drainage area, building locations, existing
BMPs and impervious surfaces, and the percentage of each drainage area that is
impervious. For each outfall, a narrative description of the potential pollutants
which could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge.
(d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred at the facility
during the 3 previous years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill
impacts.
(e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of
non-stormwater discharges. The certification statement will be signed in
accordance with the requirements found in Part III, Standard Conditions, Section
B, Paragraph 3.
2. Stormwater Management Plan. The stormwater management plan shall contain a
narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or
minimize the exposure of significant materials to stormwater, including structural and
nonstructural measures. The stormwater management plan, at a minimum, shall
incorporate the following:
Part 11 Page L of 5
Permit No. NCS000147
(a) Feasibility Study. A review of the technical and economic feasibility of changing
the methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure
of materials and processes to stormwater. Wherever practical, the permittee shall
prevent exposure of all storage areas, material handling operations, and
manufacturing or fueling operations. In areas where elimination of exposure is
not practical, the stormwater management plan shall document the feasibility of
diverting the stormwater runoff away from areas of potential contamination.
(b) Secondary Containment Schedule. A schedule to provide secondary containment
for bulk storage of liquid materials, storage of Section 313 of Title III of the
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority
chemicals, or storage of hazardous substances to prevent leaks and spills from
contaminating stormwater runoff. If the secondary containment devices are
connected directly to stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be
controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices [which shall be
secured with a locking mechanism] and any stormwater that accumulates in the
containment area shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam, outfall
staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the accumulated
stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be
uncontaminated by the material stored within the containment area. Records
documenting the individual making the observation, the description of the
accumulated stormwater and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a
period of five years.
(c) BMP Summary. A narrative description shall be provided of Best Management
Practices (BMPs) to be considered such as, but not limited to, oil and grease
separation, debris control, vegetative filter strips, infiltration and stormwater
detention or retention, where necessary. The need for structural BMPs shall be
based on the assessment of potential of sources to contribute significant quantities
of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected through monitoring of
stormwater discharges.
3. Spill Prevention and Response Plan. The Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP)
shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials
inventory of the facility. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the
SPRP shall be identified. A responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility
operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or
exposure of materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP must be site
stormwater specific. Therefore, a SPCC plan may be a component of the SPRP, but may
not be sufficient to completely address the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common
elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may be incorporated by reference into the SPRP.
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative
maintenance program shall be developed. The program shall document schedules of
inspections and maintenance activities of stormwater control systems, plant equipment
and systems. inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of
these areas shall be incorporated into the program.
Part II Page 2 of 5
Permit No. NCS000147
Employee Training. Training schedules shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis on proper spill response and cleanup procedures and
preventative maintenance activities for all personnel involved in any of the facility's
operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. Facility personnel
(or team) responsible for implementing the training shall be identified.
6. Responsible Party. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall identify a specific
position(s) responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and
revision to the Plan. Responsibilities for all components of the Plan shall be documented
and position assignments provided.
7. Plan Amendment. The permittee shall amend the Plan whenever there is a change in
design, construction, operation, or maintenance which has a significant effect on the
potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. The Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis.
The Director may notify the permittee when the Plan does not meet one or more of the
minimum requirements of the permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee shall
submit a.time schedule to the Director for modifying the Plan to meet minimum
requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with
Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3) to the Director that the changes
have been made.
8. Facility Inspection Program. Facilities are required to inspect all stormwater systems on
at least a semiannual schedule, once in the fall (September -November) and once in the
spring (April - June). The inspection and any subsequent maintenance activities
performed shall be documented, recording date and time of inspection, individual(s)
making the inspection and a narrative description of the facility's stormwater control
systems, plant equipment and systems. Records of these inspections shall be
incorporated into the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
Stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring as required in Part H of this permit shall
be performed in addition to facility inspections.
9. Implementation. The permittee shall document all monitoring, measurements,
inspections and maintenance activities and training provided to employees, including the
log of the sampling data and of activities taken to implement BMPs associated with the
industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance activities. Such documentation shall
be kept on -site for a period of five years and made available to the Director or his
authorized representative immediately upon request.
SECTION B: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of
representative outfall status and shall be performed as specified below in Table 1. Qualitative
monitoring is for the purpose of evaluating the effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution
Part II Page 3 of 5
Permit No. NCS000147
Prevention Plan (SPPP) and assessing new sources of stormwater pollution. No analytical tests
are required. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls does not need to be performed during

Dear Permittee:
Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under NPDES Stormwater Permit NCS000147. This
permit will expire on August 31, 1999. North Carolina General Statute 143.215.l(c) requires that an application
for permit renewal be filed no later than 180 days prior to the expiration date. A prior notice of renewal was sent
for this site on February 19, 1999. To date, no response has been received by the Division of Water Quality
(DWQ). In order to assure your continued coverage under the NPDES Stormwater permit, you must apply to
DWQ for renewal of your permit.
Enclosed you will find a permit renewal application form, supplemental information request, and Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan certification. Filing the application form along with the requested supplimental
information will constitute your application for renewal of your permit. The application form must be completed
and returned along with all requested information by May 14, 1999 in order to assure continued coverage under the
NPDES permit.
Failure to request renewal by May 14, 1999 will result in a civil assessment of at least $250.00, Larger penalties
may be assessed depending on the delinquency of the request. Discharge of stormwater from your facility without
coverage under a valid stormwater NPDES permit would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and could
result in assessments of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day.
If you have any questions regarding the permit renewal procedures please contact Tony Evans of the Stormwater

Dear Permittee:
Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under NPDES Permit NCS000147. This permit
expires on August 31, 1999. In order to assure your continued coverage under your permit, you must apply to the
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) for renewal of your permit. To make this renewal process easier, we are
informing you in advance that your permit will be expiring. Enclosed you will find an individual permit renewal
application form, supplemental information request, and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan certification.
Filing the application form along with the requested supplimental information will constitute your application for
renewal of your permit. The application form must be completed and returned along with all requested
information within thirty days of receipt of this letter in order to constitute a timely renewal filing.
Recent legislation modified the fee structure for DWQ permits. Renewal fees have been eliminated and annual
fees have been changed. The new annual fee for your permit is now $715.00 (you will be invoiced later this year
for your annual fee.) A copy of the new fee schedule is enclosed in this package.
Failure to request renewal within the time period indicated may result in a civil assessment of at least S250.00.
Larger penalties may be assessed depending on the delinquency of the request. Discharge of stormwater from
your facility without coverage under a valid stormwater NPDES permit would constitute a violation of NCGS
