Application Summary

February 19, 2015

APPLICATION SUMMARY Union County Lumber is reopening an existing lumber mill located at 5482 Junction Highway in El Dorado, AR. The facility was formerly owned by Georgia Pacific. The facility contains a wet deck operation that is used to keep logs wet when stored on-site. The wet deck operation contains two ponds. One is used to recirculate water to the wet deck. The other pond is a free board pond that is used to collect overflow water from the recirculation pond in times of a large storm event and as make-up water wet deck operations. The recirculation pond was closed upon permanent shutdown of the facility by GP. Union County Lumber plans to re-open the recirculation pond in the same location as it was previously. This application package is being submitted for a State Construction Permit and to request coverage under an NPDES permit for the wet decking activities at the facility. Included with this application package are Forms 1, 2D, 2F, Area Maps, Site Diagram, Water Supply Sources, Flow Diagram, Design Drawings and Calculations, Disclosure Statement, and other pertinent information necessary to complete the permit renewal process.

SECTION H -TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Technical information to support this application shall be furnished in appropriate detail to understand the project. Information in this Part is required for obtaining a construction permit or for modification of the treatment system.

1. Describe the treatment system. Include the types of control equipment to be installed along with their methods of operation and control efficiency.

Union County Lumber is re-opening a sawmill in El Dorado, AR. The facility was formerly owned by Georgia Pacific. The facility contains a wet deck operation that is used to keep logs wet when stored on-site. The main wet deck operation contains two ponds. One is used to recirculate water to the wet deck. The other pond is a free board pond that is used to collect overflow water from the recirculation pond in times of a large storm event and as make-up water for the wet deck operation. The recirculation pond was closed upon permanent shutdown of the facility by GP. The closed recirculation pond will be re-commissioned by excavating fill that was placed for closure and re-construction of a levee and spillway. The pond will have a capacity of 1,7480,000 gallons. An overflow structure will be placed two feet below the top of bank. The recirculation pond will overflow into the freeboard pond. The freeboard pond will be used to maintain a 10-year 24 hour holding capacity.

2. One set of construction plans and specifications, approved (Signed and stamped) by a Professional Engineer (PE) registered in Arkansas, must be submitted as follows:

a. The plans must show flow rates in addition to pertinent dimensions so that detention times, overflow rates, and loadings per acre, etc. can be calculated.

b. Specifications and complete design calculations. c. All treated wastewater discharges should have a flow measuring device such as a weir or Parshall flume installed.

Where there is a significant difference between the flow rates of the raw and treated wastewater, a flow measuring device should be provided both before and after treatment.

3. If this application includes a construction permit disturbing five or more acres, a storm water construction permit must be obtained by submitting a notice of intent (NOI) to ADEQ.

Construction Specifications for Union County Lumber

Recirculation Pond Site Preparation Areas designated for borrow areas, embankment, and structural works shall be cleared, grubbed and stripped of topsoil. All trees, vegetation, roots and other objectionable material shall be removed. All trees shall be cleared and grubbed within 15 feet of the toe of the embankment. All cleared and grubbed material shall be disposed of outside and below the limits of the reservoir as directed by the owner or his representative. If available, suitable topsoil will be stockpiled in a convenient location for use on the embankment and other designated areas. Earth Fill Material – The fill shall be taken from the site when applicable and can be trucked in from an off-site source as needed. It shall be free of roots, stumps, wood, rubbish, and stones greater than 6”, frozen or other objectionable materials. Materials used in the outer shell of the embankment must have the capability to support vegetation of the quality required to prevent erosion of the embankment. Placement – Areas on which fill is to be placed shall be scarified prior to placement of fill. Fill materials shall be placed in maximum 8 inch thick (before compaction) layers which are to be continuous over the entire length of the fill. The most permeable borrow material shall be placed in the downstream portions of the embankment. The principal spillway must be installed concurrently with fill placement and not excavated into the embankment. The embankment fill shall not be placed higher than the centerline of the principal spillway until after the spillway has been installed. Compaction –Compact each 8-inch layer with equipment prior to placement of the next lift. Stabilization All borrow areas shall be graded to provide proper drainage and left in a sightly condition. All exposed surfaces of the embankment, spillway, and berms shall be stabilized by hydromulching or seeding and matting in accordance with local Natural Resources Conservation Service Standards and Specifications.

Erosion and Sediment Control Construction operations will be carried out in such a manner that erosion will be controlled and water and air pollution minimized. State and local laws concerning pollution abatement will be followed. Construction plans shall detail erosion and sediment control measures.

SUBJECT: Union County Lumber Calculations

Introduction:

Union County Lumber is re-opening a sawmill in El Dorado, AR. The facility was formerly owned by Georgia Pacific. The wet deck operation, which is used to keep logs wet when stored on-site, contains two ponds. One is used to recirculate water to the wet deck. The second pond is a free board pond that is used to collect overflow water from the recirculation pond in times of a large storm event. The recirculation pond was closed upon permanent shutdown of the facility by GP. The closed recirculation pond will be re-commissioned by excavating fill that was placed for closure and re-construction of a levee and spillway. The recirculation pond will overflow into the existing freeboard pond. The freeboard pond will be used to maintain a 10-year 24 hour holding capacity.

Available Storage Volume:

CADD was used to determine the available storage volume in the recirculation and freeboard ponds. Recirculation Pond = 233,000 ft3

(1,742,000 gallons)

Existing Freeboard Pond = 684,000 ft3

(5,116,000 gallons)

10 year – 24 hour Storm Volume Determination:

In accordance with Figure 6.3 below, the 10 year – 24 hour rainfall amount for El Dorado, AR is approximately 7 inches.

SUBJECT: Union County Lumber Calculations

Therefore, the required storage volume from a 10 year – 24 hour storm event, assuming fully saturated soil conditions, can be calculated as follows: Volume = drainage area * 10 year-24 hour storm event = 10 acres * 43,560 ft2

/acre* 7” *(1ft/12”)

= 254,100 ft

3

= 1,900,800 gallons The volume of the freeboard pond is 684,000 ft3

(5,116,000 gallons). The freeboard pond has sufficient capacity to contain a 10 year-24 hour storm event.
