CEI Report
FINDINGS AND OBSERVATIONS:
Facility Description
The Facility, owned by Culpeper of Belchertown, LLC, is primarily a wood treating plant that includes the
treatment and preservation of raw lumber and the storage of both untreated and treated lumber. The Facility
treats approximately 60 million board - feet of raw wood (3.5 million feet) yearly. The Facility uses treatment
products such as two moldicides (Cleanwood 46-Plus and Cleanwood AC), a sodium nitrite corrosion
prohibitor, and Micronized Copper Azole (MCA) for treatment of wood.
The Facility comprises 13 acres located off Springfield Road in Belchertown, Massachusetts (refer to Appendix
A, Photograph 1). The Facility is bordered by a forested wetland area and Jabish Brook to the west and
southwest, a forested area to the north, a forested and residential area to the east, and a solar plant to the
southeast. The Facility's outdoor industrial activities included the following:
Northeast portion - outdoor staging area for raw lumber
Northwest portion - outdoor staging area for treated lumber
Southeast corner - fueling area for forklifts and minor vehicle maintenance
The Facility receives raw lumber via railcar at the north perimeter. The Facility stages the raw lumber in the
northwest area of the Facility for approximately 2-7 days (refer to Appendix A, Photograph 2). The Facility
treats the lumber in the treatment plant and stores it on the drip pads to the east and west of the treatment plant
for approximately 24-48 hours (refer to Appendix A, Photographs 3, 4, and 5). The drip pads are contained by
concrete berms, a roof, and are graded towards trench drains. After the treated lumber is dried, it is stored in the
outdoor staging area in the Facility's northeast area (refer to Appendix A, Photographs 6 and 7). The Facility
representatives stated treated lumber sits for up to a year outdoors before it is shipped out. The Facility
representatives also stated that raw and dried, treated wood is occasionally pressure washed with only water to
remove decaying material and dirt as needed.
The Facility owns fourteen (14) forklifts and three (3) tractor trailers. The forklifts are refueled outside of the
garage at the southeast corner of the Facility using a 250-gallon diesel aboveground storage tank (AST) (refer to
Appendix A, Photograph 8). The tank is located under a roof and within secondary containment. Vehicle
maintenance (i.e., oil changes) is performed both inside and outside the garage by staff or contractors. Used oil
is stored in the garage in 50-gallon drums that are removed by a contractor approximately four times a year. The
Facility has spill kits inside the garage and the treatment plant (refer to Appendix A, Photograph 9). The Facility
representatives stated the garage does not have internal floor drains. An uncovered dumpster that stores plastic
waste is adjacent to the garage (refer to Appendix A, Photograph 10).
The Facility representatives stated residue from pressurized wood treatment collected in drip pads is considered
hazardous material. During the treatment process, the residue is collected in storage containers that are
contained in the covered east drip pad adjacent to the treatment plant. The hazardous material is picked up and
removed by a contractor on a quarterly basis.

CEI Report
Facility Drainage Systems and Discharges
The Facility representatives stated the Facility has two stormwater outfalls (Outfalls 001 and 002), three
stormwater detention basins, and three catch basins. Outfall 001 is located on the south perimeter of the Facility
(refer to Appendix A, Photographs 11). The Facility representatives stated they had not observed discharge
from the outfall, but that the site drainage was potentially designed for the outfall to receive piped flow from a
ditch along the south perimeter and piped stormwater flow from the garage rooftop. The EPA Inspector did not
observe discharge from the outfall during the inspection.
The Facility representatives stated stormwater from the southeast area of the Facility flows towards a detention
basin at the southeast corner of the Facility (refer to Appendix A, Photographs 12 through 14). Stormwater in
the southeast basin either infiltrates or evaporates. The Facility representatives stated they have not seen
standing water in the basin " for a long time ".
The EPA Inspector observed one catch basin in the mid - east area of the Facility. The Facility representatives
stated the catch basin connects to a catch basin in the mid - north area of the Facility (refer to Appendix A,
Photographs 16 and 17).
Stormwater from the mid - north area of the Facility drains to two catch basins located in the mid - north area
located between two canopied staging areas (refer to Appendix A, Photographs 18 through 21). The two catch
basins are connected to the northwest detention basin.
Stormwater in the west area of the Facility flows to both the northwest detention basin and the southwest
detention basin (refer to Appendix A, Photographs 22 and 30). Stormwater in the northwest detention basin
either infiltrates, evaporates, or flows into the southwest detention basin via piped flow. The EPA Inspector
observed standing water in the northwest basin. Stormwater in the southwest detention basin is discharged to
Outfall 002 via a concrete sump at the center of the basin. Stormwater that is discharged from Outfall 002
eventually discharges to Jabish Brook, which flows north to south (refer to Appendix A, Photographs 31 and
32).
Facility representatives stated that stormwater has the potential to discharge from the southwest corner of the
Facility to Jabish Brook at the entrance at the southwest corner of the Facility. Facility representatives reported
seeing stormwater pool at this location (refer to Appendix A, Photographs 33 and 34).
The Facility representatives stated the Facility does not connect to a municipal separate storm sewer system
(MS4).

provided to facility personnel, either by using the form included in Appendix D or another suitable means.
The training topics include the following items:
Review of the content and relevance of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan;
Discussion of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Team and their responsibilities;
Review of the proper BMPs to be used by facility employees on a regular basis, including good
housekeeping measures, materials handling procedures and spill prevention and response practices;
Discussion of the most recent site inspection results and any resulting changes to this SWPPP Plan;
and
* Review of the Facility's stormwater drainage structures and the Outfall location. "
The Facility representatives stated that regular stormwater training is not performed. The Facility
representatives provided documentation of 5-minute workplace safety talks that took place on September 9,
2021; September 28, 2021; December 17, 2021; January, 31, 2022; February 14, 2022; May 27, 2022; and
June 20, 2022. The material did not cover stormwater topics.
2. Permit Part 5.2.2 states, " If an annual average exceeds an applicable benchmark threshold based on the
following events, the AIM requirements have been triggered for that benchmark parameter. You must
follow the corresponding AIM-level responses and deadlines described in Parts 5.2.3, 5.2.4, and 5.2.5 unless
you qualify for an exception under Part 5.2.6. An annual average exceedance for a parameter can occur if:
5.2.2.1 The four - quarterly annual average for a parameter exceeds the benchmark threshold, or
5.2.2.2 Fewer than four quarterly samples are collected, but a single sample or the sum of any sample results
within the sampling year exceeds the benchmark threshold by more than four times for a parameter. This
result indicates an exceedance is mathematically certain (i.e., the sum of quarterly sample results to date is
already more than four times the benchmark threshold). (For pH, an annual average exceedance can only
occur if the four - quarter annual average exceeds the benchmark threshold.) "
Permit Part 5.2.3.1 states, " If any modifications to or additional control measures are necessary in response
to AIM Level 1, you must implement those modifications or control measures within 14 days of receipt of
laboratory results, unless doing so within 14 days is infeasible. If doing so within 14 days is infeasible, you
must document per Part 5.3 why it is infeasible and implement such modifications within 45 days. "
The Facility reported the following benchmark monitoring results of total recoverable copper from Outfall
002 from the fourth quarter of 2021 through the third quarter of 2022 shown in Table 1. The Facility's
monitored concentration of total recoverable arsenic did not exceed the benchmark concentration.

CEI Report
The sample collected during the Quarter 3 2022 (received by Net - DMR on July 6, 2022) monitoring event
was greater than four times the parameter limit of 5.19 g / L, triggering an AIM Level 1 action. The
Permittee's SWPPP did not include plans to address the AIM event.
3. Permit Part 6 states, " The SWPPP is a living document. Facilities must keep their SWPPP up - to - date
throughout their permit coverage, such as making revisions and improvements to their stormwater
management program based on new information and experiences with major storm events. "
The Facility was referred to by its previous name, Northeast Treaters, throughout the SWPPP (refer to
Appendix B, Exhibits 1, 2, and 4). The Facility's name was changed to Culpeper of Belchertown, LLC on
July 1, 2022, as stated on the SWPPP certification page signed on November 9, 2022.
4. Permit Part 6.2.2.3 states the permittee must, " Provide a map showing:
a. Boundaries of the property and the size of the property in acres.
i. Locations of all stormwater monitoring points;
j. Locations of stormwater inlets and discharge points, with a unique identification code for each discharge
point (e.g., 001, 002), indicating if you are treating one or more discharge points as " substantially identical "
under Parts 3.2.4.5, 6.2.5.3, and 4.1.1, and an approximate outline of the areas draining to each discharge
point... "
The EPA Inspector observed the Site Drainage Plan provided during the inspection was missing the
following (refer to Appendix B, Exhibit 3):
The size of the Facility in acres
The locations of all stormwater monitoring points at the Facility
The mid - east catch basin that had the potential to discharge to Outfall 002 (refer to Appendix A,
Photographs 16 and 17)
The Site Drainage Plan depicted a stormwater outfall (Outfall 001) at the mid - west perimeter that the
Facility representatives stated does not experience discharge and is not monitored (refer to Appendix A,
Photograph 11). The Site Drainage Plan also did not depict the northwest and southwest detention basins as
two separate basins but as one continuous basin.
5. Permit Part 6.2.7 states, " You must sign and date your SWPPP in accordance with Appendix A, Subsection
11. "
At the time of the inspection, the EPA Inspector identified that the onsite SWPPP had not been signed (refer
to Appendix B, Exhibit 1). On November 21, 2022, the Facility representatives sent the EPA Inspector an
updated copy of the SWPPP certification page that was signed on November 9, 2022 (refer to Appendix B,
Exhibit 4).
POTENTIAL AREAS OF CONCERN:
The northwest and southwest detention basins were overgrown with vegetation and required
maintenance. Due to the vegetative growth, the EPA Inspector was unable to observe the inlets where
flow from the mid - north catch basins discharge into the basin (refer to Appendix A, Photograph 22
through 27).
