Permit No. NCS000101
PART I INTRODUCTION
SECTION A: INDIVIDUAL PERMIT COVERAGE
During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration,
the permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater associated with industrial activity.
Such discharges shall be controlled, limited and monitored as specified in this permit.
If industrial materials and activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described
in 40 CFR §122.26(g), the facility may qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES
stormwater discharge permit requirements. Any owner or operator wishing to obtain a No
Exposure Exclusion must submit a No Exposure Certification Notice of Intent (N01) form to
the Division; must receive approval by the Division; must maintain no exposure conditions
unless authorized to discharge under a valid NPDES stormwater permit; and must recertify
the No Exposure Exclusion annually.
SECTION B: PERMITTED ACTIVITIES
Until this permit expires or is modified or revoked, the permittee is authorized to discharge
stormwater to the surface waters of North Carolina or separate storm sewer system that
has been adequately treated and managed in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this permit. All stormwater discharges shall be in accordance with the conditions of this
permit.
Any other point source discharge to surface waters of the state is prohibited unless it is an
allowable non-stormwater discharge or is covered by another permit, authorization, or
approval. The stormwater discharges allowed by this permit shall not cause or contribute
to violations of Water Quality Standards.
This permit does not relieve the permittee from responsibility for compliance with any
other applicable federal, state, or local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or
decree.

Permit No. NCS000101
PART H MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR
PERMITTED DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
The permittee shall develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SPPP). The SPPP shall be maintained on site unless exempted from this requirement by
the Division. The SPPP is public information in accordance with Part III, Standard
Conditions, Section E, paragraph 3 of this permit. The SPPP shall include, at a minimum,
the following items:
Site Overview. The Site Overview shall provide a description of the physical facility
and the potential pollutant sources that may be expected to contribute to
contamination of stormwater discharges. The Site Overview 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 waters to which the stormwater outfalls
discharge, 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 points of stormwater discharge associated with industrial
activity. The general location map (or alternatively the site map) shall identify
whether any receiving waters are impaired (on the state's 303(d) list of impaired
waters) or if the site is located in a watershed for which a TMDL has been
established, and what the parameters of concern are.
(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. A narrative description of the potential pollutants that
could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall.
(c) A site map drawn at a scale sufficient to clearly depict: the site property boundary;
the stormwater discharge outfalls; all on -site and adjacent surface waters and
wetlands; industrial activity areas (including storage of materials, disposal areas,
process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads); site topography and
finished grade; all drainage features and structures; drainage area boundaries and
total contributing area for each outfall; direction of flow in each drainage area;
industrial activities occurring in each drainage area; buildings; stormwater Best
Management Practices (BMPs); and impervious surfaces. The site map must
indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious, and the site map
must include a graphic scale indication and north arrow.
(d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants during the previous three (3) years
and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts.
Part H Page 1 of 12

Permit No. NCS000101
(e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of
non-stormwater discharges. The permittee shall re -certify annually 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 Strategy. The Stormwater Management Strategy shall
contain a narrative description of the materials management practices employed which
control or minimize the Stormwater exposure of significant materials, including
structural and nonstructural measures. The Stormwater Management Strategy, at a
minimum, shall incorporate the following:
(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 rainfall and run-on flows. 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, this review shall document the feasibility of diverting the stormwater
run-on away from areas of potential contamination.
(b) Secondary Containment Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is
required for: bulk storage of liquid materials: storage in any amount of Section 313
of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water
priority chemicals; and storage in any mount of hazardous substancesin order to
prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. A table or summary
of all such tanks and stored materials and their associated secondary containment
areas shall be maintained. If the secondary containment devices are connected to
stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually
activated valves or other similar devices (which shall be secured closed with a
locking mechanism). 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 any
material. 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 (5) years. For facilities subject to a federal oil Spill
Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC), any portion of the SPCC Plan
fully compliant with the requirements of this permit may be used to demonstrate
compliance with this permit.
(c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management
Practices (BMPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs
shall be based on the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute
significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and on data collected
through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a
Part 11 Page 2 of 12

Permit No. NCS000101
written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the
selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually.
3. Spill Prevention and Response Procedures. The Spill Prevention and Response
Procedures (SPRP) shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based
on a materials inventory of the facility. Facility personnel responsible for implementing
the SPRP shall be identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and
dated by each individual acknowledging their responsibilities for the plan. A
responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility operations that have
increased potential to contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or exposure of
materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP must be site stormwater
specific. Therefore, an oil Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure plan (SPCC)
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 and good housekeeping program shall be developed and implemented.
The program shall address all stormwater control systems (if applicable), stormwater
discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial
activity areas (including material storage areas, material handling areas, disposal areas,
process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads), all drainage features and
structures, and existing structural BMPs. The program shall establish schedules of
inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping activities of stormwater control systems,
as well as facility equipment, facility areas, and facility systems that present a potential
for stormwater exposure or stormwater pollution where not already addressed under
another element of the SPPP. Inspection of material handling areas and regular
cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program. Timely
compliance with the established schedules for inspections, maintenance, and
housekeeping shall be recorded and maintained in the SPPP.
S. Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur
as part of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a
minimum on a semi-annual schedule, once during the first half of the year (January to
June), and once during the second half (July to December), with at least 60 days
separating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently than semi-annually).
These facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the stormwater
discharge characteristic monitoring at the outfalls required in Part Il B, C, and D of this
permit.
6. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill
response and cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's
operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. The facility
personnel responsible for implementing the training shall be identified, and their
annual training shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained.
PartII Page 3 of 12

Permit No. NCS000101
7. Responsible Party. The SPPP shall identify a specific position or positions responsible
for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision of the SPPP.
Responsibilities for all components of the SPPP shall be documented and position
assignments provided.
8. SPPP Amendment and Annual Update. The permittee shall amend the SPPP
whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, site drainage,
maintenance, or configuration of the physical features which may have a significant
effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of
the SPPP shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. The annual update
shall include:
(a) an updated list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous three
(3) years, or the notation that no spills have occurred (element of the Site
Overview);
(b) a written re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for
the presence of non-stormwater discharges (element of the Site Overview);
(c) a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the on -site stormwater
BMPs (BMPSummary element of the Stormwater Management Strategy).
(d) a review and comparison of sample analytical data to benchmark values (if
applicable) over the past year, including a discussion about Tiered Response
status. The permittee shall use the Division's Annual Summary Data
Monitoring Report (DMR) form, available from the Stormwater Permitting
Program's website (See'Monitoring Forms' here:
htW:Zlportal.ncdenr.org/web/Ir/nodes-stormwater).
The Director may notify the permittee when the SPPP 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 SPPP to meet minimum
requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with
Part 11I, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3) to the Director that the changes
have been made.
9. SPPP Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan and all appropriate BMPs consistent with the provisions of this permit,
in order to control contaminants entering surface waters via stormwater.
Implementation of the SPPP shall include documentation of all monitoring,
measurements, inspections, maintenance activities, and training provided to
employees, including the log of the sampling data and of actions 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 (S) years and made
available to the Director or the Director's authorized representative immediately upon
request.

Permit No. NCS000101
SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1.
All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at each
stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with
industrial activity must be sampled (See Definitions).
A measurable storm event is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the
permitted site outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours
prior. The 72-hour storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a shorter
interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and the permittee
obtains approval from the local DEMLR Regional Engineer. See Definitions.

1 Measurement Frequency: Twice per year (unless other provisions of this permit prompt monthly
sampling) during a measureable storm event, until either another permit is issued for this facility or until
this permit is revoked or rescinded. If the facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or Three
response actions under the previous permit, the facility shall continue a monthly monitoring and
reporting schedule in Tier Two or Tier Three status until relieved by the provisions of this permit or
the Division.
2 Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. When physical separation between
outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, sampling shall begin within the first 30
minutes, and shall continue until completed.
3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless
representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the Division's letter granting ROS shall be
kept on site.
4 For each sampled measureable storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge
is required. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain gauge reading
may be substituted for an on -site reading.
The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule
specified below in Table 2, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection
(see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Sampling is not required outside of the facility's
normal operating hours. A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2
sample dates, unless monthly monitoring has been instituted under a "Tier Two"
response. Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented
PartII Page S of 12

Permit No. NCS000101
in the SPPP and recorded on the DMR. The permittee must report the results from each
sample taken within the monitoring period (see Part 111, Section E). However, for purposes
of benchmark comparison and Tiered response actions, the permittee shall use the
analytical results from the first sample with valid results within the monitoring period.

Footngtes:
1 Maintain semi-annual monitoring until either another permit is issued for this facility or until this
permit is revoked or rescinded. The permittee must submit an application for renewal of coverage
before the submittal deadline (180 days before expiration) to be considered for renewed coverage
under the permit. The permittee must continue analytical monitoring throughout the permit
renewal process, even if a renewal permit is not issued until after expiration of this permit.
2 If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report
indicating "No Flow' or "No Discharge" within 30 days of the end of the sampling period.
Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring
monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period. "No discharge" from an
outfall during a monitoring period does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is
properly recorded and reported.
The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3.
Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase
management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management
Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. See below the descriptions of Tier One, Tier Two, and
Tier Three response actions below. In the event that the Division releases the permittee from
continued monthly monitoring and reporting under Tier Two or Tier Three, the Division's
release letter may remain in effect through subsequent reissuance of this permit, unless the
release letter provides for other conditions or duration.

The benchmark values in Table 3 are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for
implementation of the permittee's SPPP. An exceedance of a stormwater benchmark value
is not a permit violation; however, failure to respond to the exceedance as outlined in this
permit is a violation of permit conditions.
Tier One
If: The first valid sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for
any parameter at any outfall;
Then: The permittee shall:
1. Conduct a stormwater management inspection of the facility within two weeks of receiving
sampling results.
2. Identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedance.
3. Identify potential, and select the specific feasible: source controls, operational controls, or physical
improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern, and/or to bring
concentrations within the benchmark range.
4. Implement the selected feasible actions within two months of the inspection.
S. Record each instance of a Tier One response in the SPPP. Include the date and value of the
benchmark exceedence, the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the selected
actions, and the date the selected actions were implemented.
6. Note: Benchmark exceedances for a different parameter separately trigger a tiered response.
Two
If. The first valid sampling results from two consecutive monitoring periods are above the benchmark
values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall;
Then: The permittee shall:
1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier One,
2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring and reporting for all parameters. The permittee shall
conduct monthly monitoring at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark
value for two consecutive samples. Monthly (analytical and qualitative) monitoring shall continue
until three consecutive sample results are below the benchmark values or within benchmark range.
3. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee is required to submit a monthly
monitoring report indicating "No Flow" to comply with reporting requirements.
4. 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.
5. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the SPPP.
6. Continue Tier Two response obligations throughout the permit renewal process.
Part 11 Page 7 of 12

Permit No. NC5000101
Tier Three
If. The valid sampling results required for the permit monitoring periods exceed the benchmark
value, or are outside the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at any specific outfall on four
occasions, the permittee shall notify the DEMLR Regional Engineer in writing within 30 days of receipt of
the fourth analytical results;
Then; The Division may but is not limited to:
• require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring and reporting frequency for
some or all of the parameters herein;
• require sampling of additional or substitute parameters;
• require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls;
• require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures;
• require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize impacts
on receiving waters; or
• require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion;
• require the permittee to continue Tier Three obligations through thepermit renewal procE
Part H Page 8 of 12

Permit No. NCS000101
SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and identify new potential sources of stormwater
pollution. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls must be performed during a
measurable storm event.
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of
representative outfall status. Qualitative monitoring shall be performed semi-annually as
specified in Table 4, and during required analytical monitoring events (unless the permittee
is required to perform further qualitative monitoring per the Qualitative Monitoring
Response, below). Inability to monitor because of adverse weather conditions must be
documented in the SPPP and recorded on the Qualitative Monitoring Report form (see
Adverse Weather in Definitions). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with
industrial activity must be monitored (See Definitions).
In the event an atypical condition is noted at a stormwater discharge outfall, the permittee
shall document the suspected cause of the condition and any actions taken in response to
the discovery. This documentation will be maintained with the SPPP.

2 Monitoring Location: Qualitative monitoring shall be performed at each stormwater discharge outfall
(SDO) regardless of representative outfall status.
Part 11 Page 9 of 12

Permit No. NCS000101
A minimum of 60 days must separate monitoring dates, unless additional sampling has
been instituted as part of other analytical monitoring requirements in this permit.
If the permittee's qualitative monitoring indicates that existing stormwater BMPs are
ineffective, or that significant stormwater contamination is present, the permittee shall
investigate potential causes, evaluate the feasibility of corrective actions, and implement
those corrective actions within 60 days, per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below.
A written record of the permittee's investigation, evaluation, and response actions shall be
kept in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
' ualitative Monitorin g Response
Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluating SPPP effectiveness, identifying new
potential sources of stormwater pollution, and prompting the permittee's response to pollution. If
the permittee repeatedly fails to respond effectively to correct problems identified by qualitative

Footnotes:
1 Measurement Frequency: Twice per year during a measureable storm event (unless other provisions of
the permit prompt monthly sampling), until either another permit is issued for this facility or until this
permit is revoked or rescinded. See Table 2 for schedule of monitoring periods through the end of this
permitting cycle. If the facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or Three response actions
under the previous permit, the facility shall continue a monthly monitoring and reporting schedule in
Tier Two or Tier Three status until relieved by the provisions of this permit or the Division.
2 Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. When physical separation
between outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, sampling shall be begun within
the first 30 minutes, and shall continue until completed.
3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) that discharges
stormwater runoff from area(s) where vehicle maintenance activities occur, unless representative outfall
status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the letter granting ROS shall be kept on site.
4 For each sampled measureable storm event the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain
gauge is required. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain guage may
be substituted for an on -site reading.
Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring
monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period, as provided in Part 11
Section B.
Monitoring results shall be compared to the benchmark values in Table 6. The benchmark
values in Table 6 are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for the permittee's
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). Exceedances of benchmark values require
the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record
keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs), as provided in Part
II Section B.

2. Adverse Weallicf
Adverse conditions are those that are dangerous or create inaccessibility for personnel, such as local
flooding, high winds, or electrical storms, or situations that otherwise make sampling impractical -
When adverse weather conditions prevent the collection of samples during the sample period, the
permittee must take a substitute sample or perform a visual assessment during the next qualifying
storm event. Documentation of an adverse event (with date, time and written narrative) and the
rationale must be included with your SPPP records. Adverse weather does not exempt the permittee
from having to file a monitoring report in accordance with the sampling schedule. Adverse events
and failures to monitor must also be explained and reported on the relevant DMR.

Hope all is well at IP. I'm not sure if you are the contact now or if I need to contact Ed Kreul. Anyway, It is time again for
an inspection of the South Bay Dike # COLUM-008. I am also trying to schedule an inspection with the folks with
Honeywell for an inspection of the Holtrachem Stormwater Pond/Dam. If possible I would like to do the inspections on
the same day, but there is no rush on this.
Let me know if I need to coordinate with you or someone else regarding this.

Wallace,
I final was able to reach someone in the Central Office to discuss your site.
I found out the following:
*The requirement for analytical monitoring for oil and grease for the hydraulic lift area does fall under "vehicle maintenance" (see
definition at the back of permit) so please include that area in you monitoring for oil and grease.
*Qualitative monitoring should continue for all outfails. Having representative outfall status relies on qualitative monitoring to help
ensure these areas are being looked even if it is just twice a year. Also, looking at the topography of the discharge, there does
not appear to be a direct path for all of the flow to be captured at one distinct outlet.
*The tiered program should be followed if the benchmarks are exceeded for now. Be sure to document all actions taken to
evaluate possible causes of the exceedance as well as any management actions, additional BMPs, improvements or feasible
structural enhancements considered. If the samples do not show improvement and you feel you have taken all reasonable
actions, please contact us and we will reevaluate if monthly sampling relief should be considered.
I have attached the inspection report with much of this information in the summary.
Feel free to contact Carol or me at 910-7215.

Jean, I sent this to the wrong email address. Sorry for the delay. On Saturday I came out and sampled the 4 analytical locations,
including the new outfall at the wood truck gate, even though they will not be representative samples (<72 hrs since last
rain). I'll note it as such on the report. There's still an outside chance to get a real sample on Tuesday, and we will if
possible. Did you find out anything about the O&G testing? I collected a sample just in case. Thank you.

Subject: Review of Stormwater Basins E & T: COD History
NPDES Permit NCS000101
Dear Sir or Madam:
-020
International Paper's (1P's) Riegelwood Mill operates under NPDES stormwater permit NCS000101. which
went into effect on December 1, 2014. As noted in our second semester 2$4orm%vater report dated January
14. 2016. we are submitting information regarding our efforts to attain the water permit benchmarks in
Basins E and T. Our goal in submitting this information is to reach an acc e resolution with NC DEQ
�EMLR on appropriate measures to achieve these benchmarks.
Stormwater Basin E
Basin E anal)-tical results have historically exceeded most permit benchmarks.istrated in the attached
historical table (Attachment 1). 1P environmental. engineering. operational. an r�jtenance staff have
implemented a number of options to address this issue, and a history of correctiAench-marks,
ns is included in this
D submittal (Attachment 2). The result of these efforts is achievement of BOanBasin E
COD is much improved, but remains above the COD benchmark.
International Paper has met with NC DEQ DEN4LR twice to discuss stormwater quality- issues since the new,
tiered permit was issued in December 2014. On June 25. 2015. Carol Miller and Jean Conway of DEQ's
Wilmington Regional Office (WiRO) visited the mill to discuss stormwater issues. including runoff quality at
Basins E and T. In followup, on July 14. 2015. Ms. Miller and Ms. Con-%yay again toured the stormwater basins
with Mike Randall of DEMLR's Central office. The same quality issues Nvere reviewed. and it was agreed that
the mill would conduct additional sampling to rule out lab errors and to investigate the source of high COD
from Basins E and T.
Basin E runoff originates in the mill's softwood chip storage pile, which has been suspected as a COD
contributor. Additional runoff samples were collected in August 2015 from alternate points in Basin E. Runoff
from standing water directly at the base of the softwood chip pile (sample E-SCP) was analyzed by two separate
labs. with COD results of 383 and 564 mg/L, compared to the benchmark of 120 mg/L. A runoff stream from
0 he chip pile was also collected across the roadway from the softwood chip pile (E-RWSCP), with COD results
f 203 and 263 mg/L from the two labs. This data is presented in Attachment I and labeled as "investigative
samples." Copies of the lab results are included in Attachment I as well. These results appear to indicate that
the wood storage pile is the primary COD contributor for Basin E.

9k-BR was contracted to conduct a feasibility study evaluating the possibility of diverting Basin E runoff to the
mill"s permitted wastewater system (WTS) with the intent of removing Basin E as a permitted stormy;rater
basin. This option was infeasible due to the volume of runoff, distance to the WTS, and pumping elevation. A
second option studied was capturing the first flush during rain events and pumping that flow to the WTS. The
estimated cost of installation was quoted at over S6007000, which does not include annual system operation and
maintenance.
Attachment 2 lists, by semester and year, a history of corrective actions for Basin E. Excerpts from semester
reports submitted to NCDENR from 2009-2015 are quoted. as well as corrective actions. to demonstrate
continual efforts to improve runoff quality in this basin. 1P believes that it has already taken the steps outlined
in the permit for a Tier 2 response. The mill has implemented reasonable options to optimize runoff quality and
utilized considerable time and resources in doing so. IP has partnered with regional and state regulators to
address recognized issues and has investigated the cause of benchmark exceedances. Feasibility studies have
been contracted to seek resolution to the quality issues. IP does not believe that entering into the Tier 2 monthly
sampling program indefinitely Will positively affect storm water quality results for Basin E.
Per a phone conversation with Mike Randall of DEQ DEMLR on January 11, 2015, Mr. Randall recommended
meeting again with DEMLR to request moving directly to Tier 3 status to resolve the Basin E quality issue
expeditiously, as allowed by our NPDES permit. He further recommended that IP request that monthly Tier 2
sampling be discontinued until resolution of the issue. Based on Mr. Randal I's recommendation. International
Paper requests that we proceed to Tier 3 status for Basin E in order to reach an agreement on a path fonvard for
this basin. We are also requesting that Tier 2 monthly, sampling be discontinued until an agreement is reached
Ohrough the Tier 3 process.
Basin T
On a parallel note, a phenomenon similar to Basin E was observed in new Basin T in Spring 2015, when COD
results were reported as 194 mg/L. This area was newly concreted and clean, and the result was very
unexpected. The area was thoroughly cleaned. and duplicate samples were collected for analysis on August 3.
2015. Sample results were 104 and 116 mg/L, showing good agreement at the lab. On August 19, 2015, Basin
T was again sampled. and the COD -was 214 mg/L, with the only, observed contaminant being some pine straw
and bark from log truck traffic. Housekeeping was again increased, and a followup sample on August 31, 2015
resulted in a COD value of 44 mg/L. With continued intensive housekeeping in Basin T, the second semester
sample taken on November 2. 2015 showed a COD result of 1 1 5 mg/L. It is our observation that with even a
small amount of wood), material in the area, it is eery difficult to achieve the COD benchmark of 120 mg/L in
Basin T. During our meeting with DEMLR to discuss Basin E quality issues and Tier 3 status, we also request
that we discuss potential resolutions for quality issues in Basin T.
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

Permit No. NCS000101
PART I INTRODUCTION
SECTION A: INDIVIDUAL PERMIT COVERAGE
During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration,
the permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater associated with industrial activity.
Such discharges shall be controlled, limited and monitored as specified in this permit.
If industrial materials and activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described
in 40 CFR §122.26(g), the facility may qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES
stormwater discharge permit requirements. Any owner or operator wishing to obtain a No
Exposure Exclusion must submit a No Exposure Certification Notice of Intent (NO[) form to
the Division; must receive approval by the Division; must maintain no exposure conditions
unless authorized to discharge under a valid NPDES stormwater permit; and must recertify
the No Exposure Exclusion annually.
SECTION B: PERMITTED ACTIVITIES
Until this permit expires or is modified or revoked, the permittee is authorized to discharge
stormwater to the surface waters of North Carolina or separate storm sewer system that
has been adequately treated and managed in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this permit. All stormwater discharges shall be in accordance with the conditions of this
permit.
Any other point source discharge to surface waters of the state is prohibited unless it is an
allowable non-stormwater discharge or is covered by another permit, authorization, or
approval. The stormwater discharges allowed by this permit shall not cause or contribute
to violations of Water Quality Standards.
This permit does not relieve the perminee from responsibility for compliance with any
other applicable federal, state, or local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or
decree.

Permit No. NCS000101
PART II MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR
PERMITTED DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
The permittee shall develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SPPP). The SPPP shall be maintained on site unless exempted from this requirement by
the Division. The SPPP is public information in accordance with Part III, Standard
Conditions, Section E, paragraph 3 of this permit. The SPPP shall include, at a minimum,
the following items:
1. Site Overview. The Site Overview shall provide a description of the physical facility
and the potential pollutant sources that may be expected to contribute to
contamination of stormwater discharges. The Site Overview 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 waters to which the stormwater outfalls
discharge, 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 points of stormwater discharge associated with industrial
activity. The general location map (or alternatively the site map) shall identify
whether any receiving waters are impaired (on the state's 303(d) list of impaired
waters) or if the site is located in a watershed for which a TMDL has been
established, and what the parameters of concern are.
(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. A narrative description of the potential pollutants that
could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall.
(c) A site map drawn at a scale sufficient to clearly depict: the site property boundary;
the stormwater discharge outfalls; all on -site and adjacent surface waters and
wetlands; industrial activity areas (including storage of materials, disposal areas,
process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads); site topography and
finished grade; all drainage features and structures; drainage area boundaries and
total contributing area for each outfall; direction of flow in each drainage area;
industrial activities occurring in each drainage area; buildings; stormwater Best
Management Practices (BMPs); and impervious surfaces. The site map must
indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious, and the site map
must include a graphic scale indication and north arrow.
(d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants during the previous three (3) years
and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts.
Part 11 Page 1 of 12

Permit No. NCS000101
(e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of
non-stormwater discharges. The permittee shall re -certify annually 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 Strategy. The Stormwater Management Strategy shall
contain a narrative description of the materials management practices employed which
control or minimize the stormwater exposure of significant materials, including
structural and nonstructural measures. The Stormwater Management Strategy, at a
minimum, shall incorporate the following:
(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 rainfall and run-on flows. 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, this review shall document the feasibility of diverting the stormwater
run-on away from areas of potential contamination.
(b) Secondary Containment Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is
required for: bulk storage of liquid materials; storage in any amount of Section 313
of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water
priority chemicals; and storage in any amount of hazardous substances. in order to
prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. A table or summary
of all such tanks and stored materials and their associated secondary containment
areas shall be maintained. If the secondary containment devices are connected to
stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually
activated valves or other similar devices (which shall be secured closed with a
locking mechanism). 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 any
material. 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 (5) years. For facilities subject to a federal oil Spill
Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC), any portion of the SPCC Plan
fully compliant with the requirements of this permit may be used to demonstrate
compliance with this permit.
(c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management
Practices (BMPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs
shall be based on the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute
significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and on data collected
through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a
Part 11 Page 2 of 12

Permit No_ NCS000101
written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the
selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually.
3. Spill Prevention and Response Procedures. The Spill Prevention and Response
Procedures (SPRP) shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based
on a materials inventory of the facility. Facility personnel responsible for implementing
the SPRP shall be identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and
dated by each individual acknowledging their responsibilities for the plan. A
responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility operations that have
increased potential to contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or exposure of
materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP must be site stormwater
specific. Therefore, an oil Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure plan (SPCC)
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 and good housekeeping program shall he developed and implemented.
The program shall address all stormwater control systems (if applicable), stormwater
discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial
activity areas (including material storage areas, material handling areas, disposal areas,
process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads), all drainage features and
structures, and existing structural BMPs. The program shall establish schedules of
inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping activities of stormwater control systems,
as well as facility equipment, facility areas, and facility systems that present a potential
for stormwater exposure or stormwater pollution where not already addressed under
another element of the SPPP. Inspection of material handling areas and regular
cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program. Timely
compliance with the established schedules for inspections, maintenance, and
housekeeping shall be recorded and maintained in the SPPP.
6. Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur
as part of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a
minimum on a semi-annual schedule, once during the first half of the year (January to
June), and once during the second half (July to December), with at least 60 days
separating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently than semi-annually).
These facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the stormwater
discharge characteristic monitoring at the outfalls required in Part 11 B, C, and D of this
permit.
6. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill
response and cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's
operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. The facility
personnel responsible for implementing the training shall be identified, and their
annual training shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained.
Part II Page 3 of 12

Permit No. NCS000101 '
7. Responsible Party. The SPPP shall identify a specific position or positions responsible
for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision of the SPPP.
Responsibilities for all components of the SPPP shall be documented and position
assignments provided.
8. SPPP Amendment and Annual Update. The permittee shall amend the SPPP
whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, site drainage,
maintenance, or configuration of the physical features which may have a significant
effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of
the SPPP shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. The annual update
shall include:
(a) an updated list ofsignifrcant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous three
(3) years, or the notation that no spills have occurred (element of the Site
Overview);
(b) a written re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for
the presence of non-stormwater discharges (element of the Site Overview);
(c) a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the on -site stormwater
BMPs (BMP Summary element of the Stormwater Management Strategy).
(d) a review and comparison of sample analytical data to benchmark values (if
applicable) over the past year, including a discussion about Tiered Response
status. The permittee shall use the Division's Annual Summary Data
Monitoring Report (DMR) form, available from the Stormwater Permitting
Program's website (See'Monitoring Forms' here:
http:/Iportal.ncdenr.org/web/lr/npdes-stormwater).
The Director may notify the permittee when the SPPP 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 SPPP to meet minimum
requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with
Part 111, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3) to the Director that the changes
have been made.
9. SPPP Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan and all appropriate BMPs consistent with the provisions of this permit,
in order to control contaminants entering surface waters via stormwater.
Implementation of the SPPP shall include documentation of all monitoring,
measurements, inspections, maintenance activities, and training provided to
employees, including the log of the sampling data and of actions 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 (5) years and made
available to the Director or the Director's authorized representative immediately upon
request.
Part I I Page 4 of 12

Permit No. NCS000101
SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1.
All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at each
stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with
industrial activity must be sampled (See Definitions).
A measurable storm event is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the
permitted site outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours
prior. The 72-hour storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a shorter
interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and the permittee
obtains approval from the local DEMLR Regional Engineer. See Definitions.

1 Measurement Frequency: Twice per year (unless other provisions of this permit prompt monthly
sampling) during a measureable storm event, until either another permit is issued for this facility or until
this permit is revoked or rescinded. If the facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or Three
response actions under the previous permit, the facility shall continue a monthly monitoring and
reporting schedule in Tier Two or Tier Three status until relieved by the provisions of this permit or
the Division.
2 Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. When physical separation between
outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, sampling shall begin within the first 30
minutes, and shall continue until completed.
3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless
representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the Division's letter granting ROS shall be
kept on site.
4 For each sampled measureable storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge
is required. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain gauge reading
may be substituted for an on -site reading.
The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule
specified below in Table 2, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection
(see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Sampling is not required outside of the facility's
normal operating hours. A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2
sample dates, unless monthly monitoring has been instituted under a "Tier Two"
response. Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented
Part II Page 5 of 12

Permit No. NCS000101
in the SPPP and recorded on the DMR. The permittee must report the results from each
sample taken within the monitoring period (see Part 111, Section E). However, for purposes
of benchmark comparison and Tiered response actions, the permittee shall use the
analytical results from the first sample with valid resulM within the monitoring period.

Footnotes:
1 Maintain semi-annual monitoring until either another permit is issued for this facility or until this
permit is revoked or rescinded. The permittee must submit an application for renewal of coverage
before the submittal deadline (180 days before expiration) to be considered for renewed coverage
under the permit The permittee must continue analytical monitoring throughout the permit
renewal process, even if a renewal permit is not issued until after expiration of this permit.
2 if no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report
indicating "No Flow" or "No Discharge" within 30 days of the end of the sampling period.
Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring
monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period. "No discharge" from an
outfall during a monitoring period does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is
properly recorded and reported.
The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3.
Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase
management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management
Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. See below the descriptions of Tier One, Tier Two, and
Tier Three response actions below. In the event that the Division releases the permittee from
continued monthly monitoring and reporting under Tier Two or Tier Three, the Division's
release letter may remain in effect through subsequent reissuance of this permit, unless the
release letter provides for other conditions or duration.

The benchmark values in Table 3 are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for
implementation of the permittee's SPPP. An exceedance of a stormwater benchmark value
is not a permit violation; however, failure to respond to the exceedance as outlined in this
permit is a violation of permit conditions.
Eller _. k
..., . ...
If: The first valid sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for
any parameter at any outfall;
Then: The permittee shall:
1. Conduct a stormwater management inspection of the facility within two weeks of receiving
sampling results.
2. Identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedance.
3. Identify potential, and select the specific feasible: source controls, operational controls, or physical
improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern, and/or to bring
concentrations within the benchmark range.
4. Implement the selected feasible actions within two months of the inspection.
S. Record each instance of a Tier One response in the SPPP. Include the date and value of the
benchmark exceedance, the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the selected
actions, and the date the selected actions were implemented.
6. Note: Benchmark exceedances for a different parameter separately trigger a tiered response.
If: The first valid sampling results from two consecutive monitoring periods are above the benchmark
values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall;
Then: The permittee shall:
1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier One.
2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring and reporting for all parameter§. The permittee shall
conduct monthly monitoring at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark
value for two consecutive samples. Monthly (analytical and qualitative) monitoring shall continue
until three consecutive sample results are below the benchmark values or within benchmark range.
3. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee is required to submit a monthly
monitoring report indicating "No Flow" to comply with reporting requirements.
4. 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.
5. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the SPPP.
6. Continue Tier Two response obligations throughout the permit renewal process.

If- The valid sampling results required for the permit monitoring periods exceed the benchmark
value, or are outside the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at any specific outfall on four
occasions, the permittee shall notify the DEMLR Regional Engineer in writing within 30 days of receipt of
the fourth anal ic_ai results;
Then: The Division may but is not limited to:
• require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring and reporting frequency for
some or all of the parameters herein;
• require sampling of additional or substitute parameters;
• require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls;
• require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures;
• require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize impacts
on receiving waters; or
• require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion;
• require the permittee to continue Tier Three obligations through the permit renewalprocess.

SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and identify new potential sources of stormwater
pollution. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls must be performed during a
measurable storm event.
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of
representative outfall status. Qualitative monitoring shall be performed semi-annually as
specified in Table 4, and during required analytical monitoring events (unless the permittee
is required to perform further qualitative monitoring per the Qualitative Monitoring
Response, below). Inability to monitor because of adverse weather conditions must be
documented in the SPPP and recorded on the Qualitative Monitoring Report form (see
Adverse Weather in Definitions). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with
industrial activity must be monitored (See Definitions).
In the event an atypical condition is noted at a stormwater discharge outfall, the permittee
shall document the suspected cause of the condition and any actions taken in response to
the discovery. This documentation will be maintained with the SPPP.

Permit No. NCS000101 '
A minimum of 60 days must separate monitoring dates, unless additional sampling has
been instituted as part of other analytical monitoring requirements in this permit.
If the permittee's qualitative monitoring indicates that existing stormwater BMPs are
ineffective, or that significant stormwater contamination is present, the permittee shall
investigate potential causes, evaluate the feasibility of corrective actions, and implement
those corrective actions within 60 days, per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below.
A written record of the permittee's investigation, evaluation, and response actions shall be
kept in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
.- �* _ itativeMonitor�n 'Re onset , ": 'MiN
Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluating SPPP effectiveness, identifying new
potential sources of stormwater pollution, and prompting the permittee's response to pollution. If
the permittee repeatedly fails to respond effectively to correct problems identified by qualitative
monitoring, or if the discharge causes or contributes to a water quality standard violation, the
Division may but is not limited to:
• require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring frequency for some
or all parameters (analytical or qualitative)
• require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls;
• require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures;
• require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize
impacts on receiving waters; or
• require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion.

SECTION D: ON -SITE VEHICLE MAINTENANCE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Facilities that have any vehicle maintenance activity occurring on -site which uses more
than 55 gallons of new motor oil per month when averaged over the calendar year
shall perform analytical monitoring as specified below in Table 5. All analytical
monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at all stormwater
discharge outfalls (SDOs) that discharge stormwater runoff from vehicle maintenance areas,
and in accordance with the schedule presented in Table 2 (Section B).

Subject: Review of Stormwater Basins E & T: COD History
NPDES Permit NCS000101
Dear Sir or Madam:
International Paper's (IP's) Riegelwood Mill operates under NPDES stormwater permit NCS000101, which
went into effect on December 1, 2014. As noted in our second semester 2015 stomtwater report dated January
14, 2016, we are submitting information regarding our efforts to attain the stormwater permit benchmarks in
Basins E and T. Our goal in submitting this information is to reach an acceptable resolution with NC DEQ
DEMLR on appropriate measures to achieve these benchmarks.
Stormwater Basin E
Basin E analytical results have historically exceeded most permit benchmarks, as illustrated in the attached
historical table (Attachment 1). lP environmental, engineering, operational, and maintenance staff have
implemented a number of options to address this issue, and a history of corrective actions is included in this
submittal (Attachment 2). The result of these efforts is achievement of BOD and TSS benchmarks; Basin E
COD is much improved, but remains above the COD benchmark.
International Paper has met with NC DEQ DEMLR twice to discuss stormwater quality issues since the new,
tiered permit was issued in December 2014. On June 25, 2015, Carol Miller and Jean Conway of DEQ's
Wilmington Regional Office (WiRO) visited the mill to discuss o , ter issues, including runoff quality at
Basins E and T. In Followup, on July 14, 2015, Ms. Miller Ms. Conwa again toured the stormwater basins
with Mike Randall of DEMLR's Central office. The same quality Lss es were reviewed, and it was agreed that
the mill would conduct additional sampling to rule out lab errors and t investigate the source of high COD
from Basins E and T. I- 9-1—� WC-5 pt'�F�-
Basin E runoff originates in the mill's softwood chip storage pile, which has been suspected as a COD
contributor. Additional runoff samples were collected in August 2015 from alternate points in Basin E. Runoff
from standing water directly at the base of the softwood chip pile (sample E-SCP) was analyzed by two separate
labs, with COD results of 383 and 564 mg/L, compared to the benchmark of 120 mg/L. A runoff stream from
the chip pile was also collected across the roadway from the softwood chip pile (E-RWSCP), with COD results
of 203 and 263 mg/L from the two labs. This data is presented in Attachment I and labeled as "investigative
samples." Copies of the lab results are included in Attachment 1 as well. These results appear to indicate that
the wood storage pile is the primary COD contributor for Basin E.

KBR was contracted to conduct a fcasibility study evaluating the possibility of diverting Basin E runoff to the
mill's permitted wastewater system (WTS) with the intent of removing Basin E as a permitted storrnwater
basin. This option was infeasible due to the volume of runoff, distance to the WTS, and pumping elevation. A
second option studied was capturing the first flush during rain events and pumping that flow to the WTS. The
estimated cost of installation .vas quoted at over $600,000, which does not include annual system operation and
maintenance.
Attachment 2 lists, by semester and year, a history of corrective actions for Basin E. Excerpts from semester
reports submitted to NCDENR from 2009-2015 are quoted, as well as corrective actions, to demonstrate
continual efforts to improve runoff quality in this basin. 1P believes that it has already taken the steps outlined
in the permit for a Tier 2 response. The mill has implemented reasonable options to optimize runoff quality and
utilized considerable time and resources in doing so. IP has partnered with regional and state regulators to
address recognized issues and has investigated the cause of benchmark exceedanees. Feasibility studies have
been contracted to seek resolution to the quality issues. IP does not believe that entering into the Tier 2 monthly
sampling program indefinitely ►►gill positively affect storm►%wer quality results for Basin E.
Per a phone conversation with Mike Randall of DEQ DEMLR on January 1], 2015, Mr. Randall recommended
meeting again with DEMLR to request moving directly to Tier 3 status to resolve the Basin E quality issue
expeditiously, as allowed by our NPDES permit. He further recommended that IP request that monthly Tier 2
sampling be discontinued until resolution of the issue. Based on Mr. Randall's recommendation. International
Paper requests that we proceed to Tier 3 status for Basin E in order to reach an agreement on a path forward for
this basin. We are also requesting that Tier 2 monthly sampling be discontinued until an agreement is reached
through the Tier 3 process.
Basin T
On a parallel note, a phenomenon similar to Basin E was observed in new Basin T in Spring 2015, when COD
results were reported as 194 mg/L. This area was newly concreted and clean, and the result was very
unexpected. The area was thoroughly cleaned, and duplicate samples were collected for analysis on August 3,
201 S. Sample results were 104 and 116 mg/L, showing good agreement at the lab. On August 19, 2015, Basin
T was again sampled, and the COD was 214 mg/L, with the only observed contaminant being some pine straw
and bark from log truck traffic. Housekeeping was again increased, and a followup sample on August 31, 2015
resulted in a COD value of 44 mg/L. With continued intensive housekeeping in Basin T. the second semester
sample taken on November 2, 2015 showed a COD result of 115 mg/L. It is our observation that with even a
small amount of woody material in the area, it is very difficult to achieve the COD benchmark of 120 mg/L in
Basin T. During our meeting with DEMLR to discuss Basin E quality issues and Tier 3 status, we also request
that we discuss potential resolutions for quality issues in Basin T.

BASIN E HISTORIC COD RECORDS
2009 - 2015
Spring 2009: July 20, 2009: High COD: 472 mg/L, no obvious cause, Oil -water separator cleaning
increased to 2x/yr
"...despite numerous rainfall events, Basins B and E did not discharge during a qualifying event.
Several unsuccessful attempts were made to collect samples during April, May, June, and even
July."
Fall 2009: 9/22/2009: COD 389, housekeeping measures increased; Bobcat cleanups
attempted in area
"Additional measures are being evaluated to reduce COD at Basin E."
Spriniz 2010: 8/13/2010: COD and BOD above benchmarks. Earthen collection basin ahead of OWS
inlet cleaned out with an excavator
"Basin E was above the COD benchmark at 290mg/L, and BOD was 38 mg/L, above the BOD
benchmark. Basin E runoff flows through a collection basin and an oil/water separator (OWS)
. that lie next to the main mill chip pile. It is suspected that degrading chip debris is captured in
the collection pond, elevating both COD and BOD. Past efforts to clean the separator and the
collection pond more frequently and with different techniques have met some success, but
have not solved the problem. Mill personnel are currently considering other methods for
improving runoff quality."
Fall 2010: 12/28/2010: COD, BOD, TSS above benchmarks. Regular forebay cleanouts
initiated; collection bay becoming deeper
"Basin E was above the COD, BOD, and TSS benchmarks at 474 mg/L COD, <38 mg/L BOD, and
228 mg/L TSS. Basin E runoff flows through a collection basin and an oil/water separator that
are located next to the main wood chip pile and next to a chip truck dump. It is suspected that
chip debris is captured and degrades in the collection pond, elevating COD, BOD, and TSS.
Efforts to clean the separator and the collection pond, as well as the surrounding area,
continue; however, significant improvement has not been achieved. Mill personnel are
currently considering other methods of improving runoff quality..."
Spring 2011: July 29, 2009: No flow; Collection bay concrete prep
. No sample: "Basin E, the third representative sample, did not flow on any rain event. In
preparation for an upcoming paving project, the collection basin at the oil/water separator

(OWS) was dug out for shaping and surfacing. For that reason, the basin currently does not
discharge.... In Basin E, the collection basin ahead of the oil/water separator has been entirely
cleaned out, and repaving is scheduled in that area to facilitate improved housekeeping."
Fall 2011: December 28, 2011: No flow: Collection bay concrete prep
No sample: In Basin E, the collection basin ahead of the oil/water separator has been entirely
cleaned out, and repaving is underway in that area to facilitate improved housekeeping and
runoff quality. Basin E is scheduled for improvements to the collection basin ahead of the
oil/water separator (OWS). A paving project to reshape and concrete the collection basin is
currently underway; additionally, the inlet to the OWS will be modified for better filtration."
Spring 2012: July 12, 2012: BOD above benchmark. Nearby road paved, retaining wall
redirects road runoff away from OWS. New concrete forebay allows cleanout with Bobcat.
Collection bay clean; OWS cleaned out just after construction.
"Basin E qualitative results were very good, and analytical results improved but were slightly
above the permit benchmark for BOD... Basin E had a BOD result of 34mg/L. To address this,
housekeeping measures will be adjusted for the newly paved roadways and drainage system."
Fall 2012: January 3, 2013: New sample point installed inline to prevent mixing with other
. runoff. OWS cleanouts continue.
"Basin E BOD improved to within benchmarks after a new sampling point was installed in the
discharge line". Other parameters were within benchmarks.
Spring 2013: August 16, 2013: COD, BOD, TSS above benchmark: discharge pipe corrosion
noted; compost sock trials to filter wood debris from runoff.
"Basin E was above the benchmarks for BOD, COD, and TSS. Investigation revealed internal
corrosion in the discharge line of the oil -water separator that may be the source of high TSS.
Pipe repair is currently under evaluation. Compost filters are currently being trialed to improve
the BOD and COD."
Fall 2013: January 28, 2014: COD within benchmark; compost sock use and all other measures
continue.
"All of the fall 2013 analytical results were within benchmark values for COD, BOD, TSS, and
pH"
Spring 2014. August 18, 2014: COD, BOD, TSS over benchmark; recent sliplining of discharge
• pipe disabled inline sample port; new port not completed; non -representative sample collected
at alternative sample point.

"The use of compost socks continues in Basins E ... Basin E exceeded three benchmarks, at 248
mg/L COD versus the 120 benchmark; 52 mg/L BOD, versus the 30 mg/L benchmark; and 279
mg/L TSS versus the benchmark of 100 mg/L. Basin E had a sampling port in the outlet pipe;
that outlet pipe was slip -lined recently, and the sample point was no longer available. A
replacement port was planned, but was not completed until after the sampling period ended.
Sampling from an alternative sampling point proved very difficult, and could not be achieved
before mixing with other streams occurred; thus, a representative sample was not attainable.
The new sample port will be used for future sampling."
Fall 2014: February 5, 2015: High COD; new inline sample port installed.
"in Basin E, the new sample port was modified to facilitate representative sampling... Basin E
COD was 144 mg/L... There is no unusual obvious source for the high COD numbers. Basin E
drains the mill softwood pile..."
Spring 2015: August 10, 2015: High COD; all previous measures to control COD are in place.
New Basin T also showed high COD on the first sampling. DEMLR reps toured the site twice and
agreed with IP's plan for investigative sampling and engineering feasibility studies.
"...two exceptions were COD exceedances in Basins E and T...; Basin E's test result was
148mg/L. Basin E runoff originates in the mill's softwood chip storage pile, and it is suspected
that the wood storage contributes to high COD. IP Environmental and engineering staff are
researching feasible ways to reduce Basin E COD." Basin T's analytical result was 194 mg/L.
This area is newly concreted and clean; the result was very unexpected. No source of COD was
discovered upon investigation ... multiple resampling will be conducted to verify this result."
The Spring, 2015 sample event was the first under the new permit issued December 1, 2014.
Due to concerns about the new Basin T COD results, historic Basin E results, and the tiered
response in the new permit, IP invited DEMLR staff to the mill for a conference. Carol Miller,
Jean Conway from WiRO, toured the site on 6/25/15, and again on 7/14/15 with Mike Randall
from Raleigh. They visited the site and toured Basins E and T. Actions were agreed upon,
including additional investigative sampling and engineering alternatives to the SWPPP. Tier 2
and 3 options were also discussed.
Fall 2015: January 12, 2016: High COD at Basin E; Basin T meets COD benchmark with
intensive housekeeping efforts. Duplicate samples were sent to the lab, with good agreement;
lab error was ruled out. Basin E samples were sent to two independent labs to ensure
accuracy. Additional investigative analyses point to woody materials as a source of the
exceedances at both locations.
is "...the one exception was a COD exceed ance...Basin E's result was 131 mg/L."

Permit No. NC5000101
PART II MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR
PERMITTED DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
The permittee shall develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SPPP). The SPPP shall be maintained on site unless exempted from this requirement by
the Division. The SPPP is public information in accordance with Part III, Standard
Conditions, Section E, paragraph 3 of this permit. The SPPP shall include, at a minimum,
the following items:
1. Site Overview. The Site Overview shall provide a description of the physical facility
and the potential pollutant sources that may be expected to contribute to
contamination of stormwater discharges. The Site Overview 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 waters to which the stormwater outfalls
discharge, 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 points of stormwater discharge associated with industrial
activity. The general location map (or alternatively the site map) shall identify
whether any receiving waters are impaired (on the state's 303(d) list of impaired
waters) or if the site is located in a watershed for which a TMDL has been
established, and what the parameters of concern are.
(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. A narrative description of the potential pollutants that
could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall.
(c) A site map drawn at a scale sufficient to clearly depict: the site property boundary;
the stormwater discharge outfalls; all on -site and adjacent surface waters and
wetlands; industrial activity areas (including storage of materials, disposal areas,
process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads); site topography and
finished grade; all drainage features and structures; drainage area boundaries and
total contributing area for each outfall; direction of flow in each drainage area;
industrial activities occurring in each drainage area; buildings; stormwater Best
Management Practices (BMPs); and impervious surfaces. The site map must
indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious, and the site map
must include a graphic scale indication and north arrow.
(d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants during the previous three (3) years
and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts.
Part 1I Page 1 of 12

Permit No. NCS000101
(e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of
non-stormwater discharges. The permittee shall re -certify annually 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 Strategy. The Stormwater Management Strategy shall
contain a narrative description of the materials management practices employed which
control or minimize the stormwater exposure of significant materials, including
structural and nonstructural measures. The Stormwater Management Strategy, at a
minimum, shall incorporate the following:
(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 rainfall and run-on flows. 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, this review shall document the feasibility of diverting the stormwater
run-on away from areas of potential contamination.
(b) Secondary Containment Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is
required for: bulk-s-torage of liquid materials: storage in any amount of Section 313
of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water
pijority chemicals, and storage in any amount of hazardous substances in order to
prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. A table or summary
of all such tanks and stored materials and their associated secondary containment
areas shall be maintained. If the secondary containment devices are connected to
stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually
activated valves or other similar devices (which shall be secured closed with a
locking mechanism). 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 any
material. 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 (S) years. For facilities subject to a federal oil Spill
Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC), any portion of the SPCC Plan
fully compliant with the requirements of this permit may be used to demonstrate
compliance with this permit.
(c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management
Practices (BMPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs
shall be based on the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute
significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and on data collected
through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a
PartII Page 2 of 12

Permit No. NCS000101
written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the
selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually.
3. Spill Prevention and Response Procedures. The Spill Prevention and Response
Procedures (SPRP) shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based
on a materials inventory of the facility. Facility personnel responsible for implementing
the SPRP shall be identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and
dated by each individual acknowledging their responsibilities for the plan. A
responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility operations that have
increased potential to contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or exposure of
materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP must be site stormwater
specific. Therefore, an oil Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure plan (SPCC)
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 and good housekeeping program shall be developed and implemented.
The program shall address all stormwater control systems (if applicable), stormwater
discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial
activity areas (including material storage areas, material handling areas, disposal areas,
process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads), all drainage features and
structures, and existing structural BMPs. The program shall establish schedules of
inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping activities of stormwater control systems,
as well as facility equipment, facility areas, and facility systems that present a potential
for stormwater exposure or stormwater pollution where not already addressed under
another element of the SPPP. Inspection of material handling areas and regular
cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program. Timely
compliance with the established schedules for inspections, maintenance, and
housekeeping shall be recorded and maintained in the SPPP.
5. Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur
as part of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a
minimum on a semi-annual schedule, once during the first half of the year (January to
June), and once during the second half (July to December), with at least 60 days
separating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently than semi-annually).
These facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the stormwater
discharge characteristic monitoring at the outfalls required in Part II B, C, and D of this
permit.
6. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill
response and cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's
operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. The facility
personnel responsible for implementing the training shall be identified, and their
annual training shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained.
Part 11 Page 3 of 12

Permit No. NCS000101
7. Responsible Party. The SPPP shall identify a specific position or positions responsible
for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision of the SPPP.
Responsibilities for all components of the SPPP shall be documented and position
assignments provided.
S. SPPP Amendment and Annual Update. The permittee shall amend the SPPP
whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, site drainage,
maintenance, or configuration of the physical features which may have a significant
effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of
the SPPP shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. The annual update
shall include:
(a) an updated list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous three
(3) years, or the notation that no spills have occurred (element of the Site
Overview);
(b) a written re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated far
the presence of non-stormwater discharges (element of the Site Overview);
(c) a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the on -site stormwater
BMPs (BMP Summary element of the Stormwater Management Strategy).
(d) a review and comparison ofsample analytical data to benchmark values (if
applicable) over the past year, including a discussion about Tiered Response
status. The permittee shall use the Division's Annual Summary Data
Monitoring Report (DMR) form, available from the Stormwater Permitting
Program's website (See 'Monitoring Forms' here:
http:./.Iportal.ncdenr.org/web.1ir-Inpdes-stormwateE).
The Director may notify the permittee when the SPPP 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 SPPP 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.
9. SPPP Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan and all appropriate BMPs consistent with the provisions of this permit,
in order to control contaminants entering surface waters via stormwater.
Implementation of the SPPP shall include documentation of all monitoring,
measurements, inspections, maintenance activities, and training provided to
employees, including the log of the sampling data and of actions 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 (S) years and made
available to the Director or the Director's authorized representative immediately upon
request.

Permit No. NCS000101
SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1.
All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at each
stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with
industrial activity must be sampled (See Definitions).
A measurable storm event is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the
permitted site outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours
prior. The 72-hour storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a shorter
interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and the permittee
obtains approval from the local DEMLR Regional Engineer. See Definitions.

this permit is revoked or rescinded. if the facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or Three
response actions under the previous permit, the facility shall continue a monthly monitoring and
reporting schedule in Tier Two or Tier Three status until relieved by the provisions of this permit or
the Division.
2 Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. When physical separation between
outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, sampling shall begin within the first 30
minutes, and shall continue until completed.
3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless
representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the Division's letter granting ROS shall be
kept on site.
4 For each sampled measureable storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge
is required. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain gauge reading
may be substituted for an on -site reading_
The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule
specified below in Table 2, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection
(see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Sampling is not required outside of the facility's
normal operating hours. A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2
sample dates, unless monthly monitoring has been instituted under a "Tier Two"
response. Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented
Part 11 Page S of 12

Permit No. NCSOOO101
in the SPPP and recorded on the DMR. The permittee must report the results from each
sample taken within the monitoring period (see Part III, Section E). However, for purposes
of benchmark comparison and Tiered response actions, the permittee shall use the
analytical results from the first sample with valid results within the monitoring period.

Footnotes:
1 Maintain semi-annual monitoring until either another permit is issued for this facility or until this
permit is revoked or rescinded. The permittee must submit an application for renewal of coverage
before the submittal deadline (180 days before expiration) to be considered for renewed coverage
under the permit. The permittee must continue analytical monitoring throughout the permit
renewal process, even if a renewal permit is not issued until after expiration of this permit.
2 if no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report
indicating "No Flow" or "No Discharge" within 30 days of the end of the sampling period.
Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring
monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period. "No discharge" from an
outfall during a monitoring period does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is
properly recorded and reported.
The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3.
Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase
management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management
Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. See below the descriptions of Tier One, Tier Two, and
Tier Three response actions below. In the event that the Division releases the permittee from
continued monthly monitoring and reporting under Tier Two or Tier Three, the Division's
release letter may remain in effect through subsequent reissuance of this permit, unless the
release letter provides for other conditions or duration.

The benchmark values in Table 3 are not 1ermit limits but should be used as guidelines for
implementation of the permittee's SPPP. An exceedance of a stormwater benchmark value
is not a permit violation; however, failure to respond to the exceedance as outlined in this
permit is a violation of permit conditions.
-Tier One
If: The first valid sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for
an arameter at any outfall;
Then: The permittee shall:
1. Conduct a stormwater management inspection of the facility within two weeks of receiving
sampling results.
2. Identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedance.
3. Identify potential, and select the specific feasible: source controls, operational controls, or physical
improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern, and/or to bring
concentrations within the benchmark range.
4. Implement the selected feasible actions within two months of the inspection.
S. Record each instance of a Tier One response in the SPPP. Include the date and value of the
benchmark exceedence, the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the selected
actions, and the date the selected actions were implemented.
5. Note: Benchmark exceedances for a different parameter separately trigger a tiered response.
Tier Two
If The first valid sampling results from two consecutive monitoring periods are above the benchmark
values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall;
Then: The permittee shall:
1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier One.
2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring and reporting for all parameters. The permittee shall
conduct monthly monitoring at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark
value for two consecutive samples. Monthly (analytical and qualitative) monitoring shall continue
until three consecutive sample results are below the benchmark values or within benchmark range.
3. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee is required to submit a monthly
monitoring report indicating "No Flow" to comply with reporting requirements.
4. 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.
5. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the SPPP.
6. Continue Tier Two response obligations throughout the permit renewal process.

If.- The valid sampling results required for the permit monitoring periods exceed the benchmark
value, or are outside the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at any specific outfalI on four
occasions, the permittee shall notify the bEMLR Regional Engineer in writing within 30 days of receipt of
the fourth analytical results;
Then: The Division may but is not limited to:
• require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring and reporting frequency for
some or all of the parameters herein;
• require sampling of additional or substitute parameters;
• require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls;
• require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures;
• require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize impacts
on receiving waters; or
• require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion;
• require the permittee to continue Tier Three obligations through the permit renewal proce
Part lI Page 8 of 12

Permit No. NCS000101
SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and identify new potential sources of stormwater
pollution. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls must be performed during a
measurable storm event
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of
representative outfall status. Qualitative monitoring shall be performed semi-annually as
specified in Table 4, and during required analytical monitoring events (unless the permittee
is required to perform further qualitative monitoring per the Qualitative Monitoring
Response, below). Inability to monitor because of adverse weather conditions must be
documented in the SPPP and recorded on the Qualitative Monitoring Report form (see
Adverse Weather in Definitions). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with
industrial activity must be monitored (See Definitions).
In the event an atypical condition is noted at a stormwater discharge outfall, the permittee
shall document the suspected cause of the condition and any actions taken in response to
the discovery. This documentation will be maintained with the SPPP.

(SDO) regardless of representative outfall status.
Part 11 Page 9 of 12

Permit No. NCS000101
A minimum of 60 days must separate monitoring dates, unless additional sampling has
been instituted as part of other analytical monitoring requirements in this permit.
If the permittee's qualitative monitoring indicates that existing stormwater BMPs are
ineffective, or that significant stormwater contamination is present, the permittee shall
investigate potential causes, evaluate the feasibility of corrective actions, and implement
those corrective actions within 60 days, per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below.
A written record of the permittee's investigation, evaluation, and response actions shall be
kept in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluating SPPP effectiveness, identifying new
potential sources of stormwater pollution, and prompting the permittee's response to pollution. If
the permittee repeatedly fails to respond effectively to correct problems identified by qualitative
monitoring, or if the discharge causes or contributes to a water quality standard violation, the
Division may but is not limited to:
• require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring frequency for some
or all parameters (analytical or qualitative)
• require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls;
• require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures;
• require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize
impacts on receiving waters; or
• require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion.

SECTION D: ON -SITE VEHICLE MAINTENANCE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Facilities that have any vehicle maintenance activity occurring on -site which uses more
than 55 gallons of new motor oil per month when averaged over the calendar year
shall perform analytical monitoring as specified below in Table S. All analytical
monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at all stormwater
discharge outfalls (SDOs) that discharge stormwater runoff from vehicle maintenance areas,
and in accordance with the schedule presented in Table 2 (Section B).

1 Measurement Frequency: Twice per year during a measureable storm event (unless other provisions of
the permit prompt monthly sampling), until either another permit is issued for this facility or until this
permit is revoked or rescinded. See Table 2 for schedule of monitoring periods through the end of this
permitting cycle. If the facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or Three response actions
under the previous permit, the facility shall continue a monthly monitoring and reporting schedule in
Tier Two or Tier Three status until relieved by the provisions of this permit or the Division.
2 Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. When physical separation
between outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, sampling shall be begun within
the first 30 minutes, and shall continue until completed.
3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) that discharges
stormwater runoff from area(s) where vehicle maintenance activities occur, unless representative outfall
status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the letter granting ROS shall be kept on site.
4 For each sampled measureable storm event the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain
gauge is required. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain guage may
be substituted for an on -site reading.
Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring
monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period, as provided in Part II
Section B.
Monitoring results shall be compared to the benchmark values in Table 6. The benchmark
values in Table 6 are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for the permittee's
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). Exceedances of benchmark values require
the permtttee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record
keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs), as provided in Part
11 Section B.

Hi, Dan, International Paper has just completed the second semester stormwater monitoring report under our new
NPDES permit, issued Dec. 1, 2014. The new permit includes provisions for a Tiered response to benchmark
exceedances, and we are now in Tier 2 at one location in the mill. I have been in touch with Carol Miller and Jean
Conway of the Wilmington office, and also with Mike Randall of the Raleigh central office and, as allowed in the permit,
have written a request to move to Tier 3 to resolve the issues. Mike Randall suggested sending a copy of the Tier 3
request to you. I cannot find your mailing address online, so am attaching an electronic version of both the request and
the semester report. I have requested a meeting with the appropriate DEMLR personnel to discuss options and plan a
track forward. Please respond with your input and recommendations on this issue. Thank you

. Representative Outfall Status Request
For NPDES Permit Number NCS000101
Explanation of Requests
January 27, 2012/updated June 25, 2012
Basin S
Basin S was added to the mill SWPPP in May, 2008, after inspection by Linda Willis of the
Wilmington Regional DWQ office. Ms. Willis requested anal��tical data for Basin S for
consideration for representative status. However, sampling has proved difficult because the
outfall does not flow during normal representative rain events. To discharge, runoff passes
through a collection pond and a meandering stream through low-lying woods. Runoff rarely
flows as far as the outfall. Twice samples were collected to establish some data. these were both
collected alter multi -day rain events that were not representative events. The results for these
Basin S samples are similar to analytical results for Basin 1. Please refer to the attached analysis
comparison for Basins I and S. Please note that in 2010 and in early 2011, Basin I exceeded
benchmarks. After investigation, the basin was repaved, eliminating loose material washoff
and allowing improved housekeeping. Analytical results were within benchmarks after that
improvement. Again in Spring, 2012, the TSS benchmark for Basin I was exceeded; a buildup of
sand was observed along the diffuser and is suspected as the source of the solids. Area
maintenance practices have been improved to correct this issue.
Basins S and 1 are both used for storage of trailers, empty and full. Basin I trailers contain
finished product, and Basin S trailers store wood chips and logs. Both basins are on the south
side of the mill and runoff from both eventually drains to Livingston Creek. a tributary of the
Cape Fear River. As stated in the current NPDES stormwater permit,Q"''
Basin J
Basin J was omitted from the list of representative outfall sampling points in Section B of the
existing NPDES permit. Per site visit by Aisha Lau, formerly of DWQ, Basin J was to have been
represented by Basin I. During review of the current permit, in a letter dated November 20,
2006(attached), specification of representative sampling points was requested to be included in
the permit for clarity. Basin J was the only basin out of 1S that was not specified. Please add it
to the list of outfalls represented by Basin I. Basin J is in the same general vicinity as Basin 1,
and discharge drains in the same direction. Transfer or storage of materials is the main activity
in both basins. Basin I is used for storage of trailers containing finished product, and in Basin J
the main activity is transfer/storage by rail of wood chips and logs. Visual inspection results are
similar for both outfalls and are attached.

REPRESENTATIVE OUTFALL STATUS (ROS)
REQUEST FORM
FOR AGENCY USE ONLY
Daze Rmeived
Year
Month
Day
If a facility is required to sample multiple discharge locations with very similar storm water discharges, the
permittee may petition the Director for Representative Outfall Status (ROS). DWQ may grant Representative
Outfall Status if stormwater discharges from a single outfall are representative of discharges from multiple
outfalls. Approved ROS will reduce the number of outfalls where ana ical sampling requirements apply.
If Representative Outfall Status is granted, ALL out
falls are still subject to the qualitative monitoring
requirements of the facility's permit --unless otherwise allowed by the permit (such as NC6020000) and DWQ
approval. The approval letter from DWQ must be kept an site with the facility's Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan. The facility must notify DWQ in writing if any changes affect representative status.
For questions, please contact the DWQ Regional Office for your area (see page 3).

Dear Mr. Grimes:
In response to your renewal application for continued coverage under NPDES stormwater permit
NCS000101, the Division of Water Quality (Division) is forwarding herewith the subject state -
NPDES permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General
Statute 143-215 .1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the US
Environmental Protection agency dated May 9, 1994 (or as subsequently amended).
As Ms. Coverdale requested in her comment letter received by DWQ on November 21,
2006, the representative outfall status of outfalls B, E, and I have been documented in the
permit body itself. The reference is made in Footnote #3 under Table I in Part II of the
permit, Page 4 of 7.
The qualitative monitoring strategy remains the same (semi-annual) as the previous term of the
permit. Please note that analytical monitoring is also required in this pemt. Failure to .
complete the monitoring as required is a violation of the permit -and any permit noncompliance
constitutes a violation of the Clean Water Act. Reference Part III, Section A, Item 2 "Duty to
Comply", Item 9 "Penalties for Tampering " and Item 10 "Penalties for Falsification of Reports"
of your permit for further information.
Previous monitoring has shown that TSS and COD have been recurring parameters of concern.
Best Management Practices (BMPs) to improve the quality of stormwater runoff at International
Paper need to be considered. Investigation into the possibility of utilizing BMP's such as
vegetative filter strips, surface regrading, infiltration and stormwater detention or retention
should be conducted, as required in the third paragraph of Part II, Section B: Analytical
Monitoring Requirements.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are
unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within
thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written
petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the

Permit No. NCS000101
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:
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 perinittee 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 storrwater 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
Part 11 Page 2 of 7

Permit No: NCS006101
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.
5. 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 foramplementing 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 II of this permit shall
be performed in addition to facility inspections.

International Paper
Columbus County
In response to your renewal application for continued coverage under NPDES stormwater
permit NCS000101 the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) is forwarding herewith the subject
state - NPDES permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina
General Statute 143-215 .1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the
US Environmental Protection agency dated December 6, 1983.
Please note that the Division has revised the analytical monitoring strategy for individual
stormwater permits. Based on a review of the permit monitoring data received to date, the
analytical monitoring measurement frequencies have been changed and cut-off concentrations
have been removed. These changes will be implemented for all second term individual
stormwater permits with analytical monitoring requirements. For those permits with analytical
monitoring requirements, Part II - Monitoring. Controls, and Limitations for Permitted
Discharges has been modified to reflect the change in monitoring strategy.
The qualitative monitoring strategy remains the same as the first term of the permit.
Please note that the semi-annual qualitative monitoring is a requirement of the permit. Failure to
complete the monitoring as required is a violation of the permit and any permit noncompliance
constitutes a violation of the Clean Water Act. Reference Part III, Section A, Item 2 "Duty to
Comply", Item 9 "Penalties for Tampering " and Item 10 "Penalties for Falsification of Reports"
of your permit for further information.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit
are unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request
within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a
written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed
with the Office of Administrative Hearings, Post Office Drawer 27447, Raleigh, North Carolina
27611 -7447- Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.
Please take notice this permit is not transferable. Part M. B.2. addresses the requirements
to be followed in case of change in ownership or control of this discharge.

the Plan. This Plan shall be considered public information in accordance with Part III, Standard
Conditions, Section E, Paragraph 3 of this individual permit. The Plan shall include, at a
minimum, the following items:
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
storrwater 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.

nonstructural measures. The stormwater management plan, at a minimum, shall
incorporate the following:
(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

18. Representative Storm Event
A storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall and that is preceded by at least 72
hours in which no storm event measuring greater than 0.1 inches has occurred_ A single storm
event may contain up to 10 consecutive hours of no precipitation. For example, if it rains for 2
hours without producing any collectable discharge, and then stops, a sample may be collected if a
rain producing a discharge begins again within the next 10 hours.
19. Re resentative Outfall Status
When it is established that the discharge of stormwater runoff from a single outfall is
representative of the discharges at multiple outfalls, the DWQ may grant representative
outfall status. Representative outfall status allows the permittee to perform analytical
monitoring at a reduced number of outfalls.
