Facility Description: Wallace Farm is a family owned and operated business located at 14410 Eastfeld Road in
Mecklenburg County near the Cabarrus County line. Beginning in the early 1940s, the Wallace Farm operated as one of
the largest dairy farms in the State until 1990, when it began converting to a soil and composting operation. Currently the
facility produces a line of soil and compost products using aerobic composting techniques.
Compliance History: Wallace Farm is regulated as a permitted solid waste compost facility by the N.C. Department of
Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR), Waste Management Division under Permit Number SWC-60-22.
Mecklenburg County's Solid Waste Management Program works cooperatively with the State through a Memorandum of
Agreement to enforce the requirements of this permit; however, all regulatory authority for this facility lies with the State
and not the County. Wallace Farm is also regulated by the NCDENR, Division of Water Quality under NPDES
Stormwater Permit NCS000525. In addition, Wallace Farm has an industrial pretreatment permit from
Charlotte -Mecklenburg Utilities (CMU) to discharge into their sanitary sewer system (CMU Permit #6001).
The facilities Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) had been implemented, however, there were a number of
deficiencies of the SPPP noted during the inspection. There also has been no analytical testing or qualitative monitoring
performed since December 2010. The deficiencies noted in the SPPP include: p f - Pa r C
jr A. 1,.Q.1. The general location (USGS) map did not include whether or not the receiving waters were on the State's 303D list for
impaired waters. Clarke Creek is on the 303(d) List for poor bioclassification (Ecologicallbiological integrity Fish). Clarke
Creek is a Class C stream in the Yadkin River Basin.
j,A.l.c. 2. The site map needs to show drainage areas and detail activities occurring within the drainage area.
A.7. 3. The SPPP should contain an annual certification as to whether any significant spills have occured and any corrective
actions that were taken. The permittee should be aware of the reportable quantities for wastewater and oil releases, and
SARA Title III.
A• 2,6, 4. Any releases from secondary containment structures should be observed for color, foam, outfall staining, visible
sheens, and dry weather flow prior to release. The SPPP should also include documentation of the individual making the
observation, description of water, date, and time of release.
CGA.2 G 5.. The SPPP included a BMP summary, but the summary had not been updated to include the SW diversion berm and
additional SW detention that had been added since the SPPP had been written.
A.-5, 6. The Spill Prevention and -Response Plan (SPRP) should be updated to include the (team) responsible for
implementing the SPRP. It is recommended that the SPRP be posted in the Office for quick reference by other company
staff.
A-4 , 7. The SPPP included a Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Plan, however the Plan had not been
updated since 2010.
8. The person responsible for employee training should be identified in the SPPP. At a minimum, annual training for all
personnel should be provided. This training should include: proper spill response, cleanup procedures, preventative
maintenance activities for all personnel involved in any of the facility's operations that have the potential to contaminate
stormwater runoff.

Inspection Date: 05/22/2012 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit. Routine
ITA7. 9. The SPPP has not been updated on an annual basis as required by the permit. Yearly updates should be noted in the
plan and then certified by an authorized signature.
.0 10. Qualitative monitoring is not being performed at this facility as required by the permit. The last documented
qualitative monitoring was performed in December 2010.
11. Analytical testing is not being performed at this facility as required by the permit. The last documented analytical
testing was performed in December 2010. A review of this data reflected a number of benchmark exceedances which
should have required the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping,
and/or install additional BMPs in a tiered program (see Section B of the permit). Such being the case, this inspection
report will be issued as a Notice of Deficiency for the failure to conduct the required analytical testing and qualitative
monitoring as set forth in the subject permit.
The SW outfall for this facility was observed during the inspection. There was no evidence that a release of product
(compost) had occurred nor was there evidence that the SW pond on the southern most part of the site had experienced
a release. The water level in the pond was over a foot below the emergency spillway and the area had recently
experienced a heavy rainfall event.

Subject: Sun Gro - Wallace Farm
Hi Bill,
Per your request, and for reference as to our dealings with Sun Gro, here's what I found in our bMR files for Wallace
Farm:
It looks like Wallace has sampled only twice per year, rather than quarterly as required by their permit. Sample
events 12/11/08 and 6/5/09 since permit issuance 10/1/08. (First quarter and third quarter 2009 missing.)
COD= 153, 101 mg/L; TSS= 400, 510 mg/L; BOD5= 5, 7.1 mg/L; pH= 7.8, 6.7 mg/L; TN= 5.9, 3.9 mg/L; TP= 1.9, 0.59
mg/L; fecal= 2200, 6000 /100ml; on the two sample dates.
MRO Routine CEI 8/26/09 provides an overall good report of the facility:
o SPPP in pretty good shape, WFarm correcting minor deficiencies per DWQ Central Office review of the SPPP
- - OK.
o Flexible fabric cover not employed, instead WF has moved the mixing pile activity under roof - - OK. (A
notification letter from WF would have been nice, since this specific activity is directed by the permit text,
and they're not doing it.)
o WF has installed sediment basin as required by permit, and has installed additional basins, too - - OK.
(Again, notification from WF of additional measures would have been nice.)
o WF has augmented the eastern boundary to establish a distinct surface water drainage divide on site,
effectively segregating sw from ww (Compliance on this permit requirement previously reported verbally by
MP) - - OK.
I note consecutive monitoring benchmark exceedences for TSS and fecal. On this basis the permit requires Wallace
to now be sampling monthly. It's unclear whether they're doing that, or not.
E-mail correspondence to and from this address may be subject to the North Carolina Public Records Law, and may be
disclosed to third parties.

may occur in other approved areas within the permitted boundary. Authorization
to blast at the blast site may be granted at the time of the verbal reporting of the
high ground vibration or high air blast reading if the circumstances justify verbal
approval. Failure to report will constitute a permit violation.

Permit: NCS000525 Owner - Facility: Wallace Farm Inc
Inspection Date: 08/26/2009 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
On September 30, 2008, Wallace Farms, Inc. (WFI) was issued NPDES Stormwater permit No. NCS000525 by the
Division of Water Quality. In addition to the requirements set for in the subject permit, there were additional provisions
added to the final permit that WFI was required to implement within six months of permit issuance. These include:
1. Develop and implement a SPPP.
WFI developed a SPPP, which was received by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) for review on May 29, 2009, In a
letter dated July 15, 2009, the DWQ acknowledged receipt of the SPPP and noted that the Plan contains the basic
components required by the NPDES permit. Deficiencies in the SPPP were noted and WFI is in the process of addressing
these deficiencies. Implementation of the Plan was confirmed during the Compliance Evaluation Inspection (see attached
report).
2. WFI must provide and emply a flexible fabric cover to prevent incident rainfall on the working material in the Product
Mixing Area.
WFI chose to move the area where the product is mixed under roof so there would be no contact with SW.
3. WFI must install a BMP to reduce solids which may be in the runoff from the SW drainage area.
WFI has installed the requested BMP to reduce solids which may be found in the runoff from the SW drainage area. In
addition, WFI has constructed additional sediment basins that will aid in sediment removal from the site's SW.
4. WFI must augment the eastern boundary of the SW drainage area to insure effective run on minimization and
segregation.
WFI has made the necessary topographic changes to provide an effective drainage divide so that Product Mixing Area
SW and other SWs are segregated and do not comingle. This drainage augementation has been accomplished by
reshaping the topography so that the two areas are separated by an elevated ridge that prevents comingling of the SW
from the two areas.

d. . A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred at the facility
during the three (3) previous years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate
spill impacts.
e. Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-
stormwater discharges. The certification statement will be signed in accordance with
the requirements found in Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3.
2. Stormwater Management Plan. The stormwater management plan shall contain a
narrative description of the materials management practices employed which -control or
minimize the exposure of significant materials to stormwater, including structural and
nonstructural measures. The stormwater management plan, at a minimum, shall
incorporate the following:
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 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 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. Ifthe 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 closed 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 (5) 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 the potential of pollutant sources to contribute
significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected
through monitoring of stormwater discharges.

Permit No. NCS000525
d. Temporary Covers Requirement in the Product Mixing Area. The permittee must
provide a readily accessible flexible cover for each pile of material in process at
the Product Mixing Area shown on the site plan. The covers shall be located in
an adjacent building,.and must be immediately employed to prevent exposure to
incident rainfall onto materials being sized, sorted, mixed, or staged in the area.
The covers shall remain in place for the duration of any rainfall, and when the
necessary operating personnel are riot present. The Stormwater Management Plan
shall record the storage location of the flexible covers and the associated anchors
to prevent removal by wind, a specification of the materials of construction and
thickness of the covers, and a narrative on the weather, timing, and any other
operating circumstances related to the employment of the covers. The permittee
shall keep a daily log of the instances when the flexible covers are employed.
Staff training on the employment of the covers and anchors shall be recorded in
the SPPP.
e. Stormwater Treatment BMP. The permittee shall install a stormwater treatment
BMP to reduce pollutant migration off site. Significant portions of the permitted
area are regularly disturbed by heavy equipment and have the potential to
generate soils or other suspended solids into the runoff. The BMP shall, at a
minimum, be designed to reduce sediment, suspended solids, and turbidity from
the total permitted runoff flow before it is discharged to the receiving water.
Prior to installation, the permittee shall submit the proposed BMP for review and
approval to DWQ's Mooresville Regional Office Supervisor, Surface Water
Protection Section. The BMP shall be inspected at least once every seven
calendar days, and within 24 hours after any storm event of 0.5 inches of rain per
24-hour period.
f. Run On Reduction and Segregation Measures. The permittee shall augment the
surface drainage divide along the eastern boundary of the permitted drainage area
as shown on the application site plan drawing. Additional ditching, berming,
raised road surface, culverts, or other improvements as necessary shall be
installed from the discharge point at the southern extent of the drainage area
extending up to Product Storage and Bagging Building areas. The permittee
shall request on -site inspection and assistance from the DWQ Mooresville
Regional Office Supervisor, Surface Water Protection Section for field
identification of the extent of drainage divide augmentation. .
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, an oil SPCC plan may be a component of the SPRP, but
may not be sufficient to completely address the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The
common elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may be incorporated by reference into the
r r r
Part II Page 3 of 10

Pemih No. NCS000525
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.
Employee Training. Training schedules shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis on proper spill response and cleanup procedures and
preventative maintenance activities for all personnel involved in any of the facility's
operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. Facility personnel
(or team) responsible for implementing the training shall be identified.
6. Responsible Party. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall identify a specific
position(s) responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and
revision to the Plan. Responsibilities for all components of the Plan shall be documented
and position assignments provided.
Plan Amendment. The permittee shall amend the Plan whenever there is a change in
design, construction, operation, or maintenance that 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 annual update
shall include an updated list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous
three years, or the notation that no spills have occurred. The annual update shall include
re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-
stormwater discharges.
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 PIan 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.

activities. Such documentation shall be kept on -site for a period of five years and made
available to the Director or the Director's authorized representative immediately upon
request.
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 representative storm event. The required
monitoring will result in a minimum of twenty analytical samplings being conducted over the
term of the permit at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO).
A representative storm event is 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.
