RE: NPDES Stormwater Permit Coverage RenewalConway Resins Plant DENR LAND
NPDES Stormwater STCRM
Permit No.:NCS000251 WATER PERMITTING
Northampton County
To Whom It May Concern,
Please find enclosed the completed NPDES stormwater permit renewal application for our Conway,NC facility
located in Northampton County. The permit application includes the following information in duplicate at your
request.
1. A current site map from the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan that includes the location of industrial
activities,drainage structures,drainage areas for each outfall,building locations and impervious surfaces.
2. A summary of Analytical Monitoring results during the term of the existing permit.
3. A summary of the Visual Monitoring Results during the term of the existing permit.
4. A summary of our facility's Best Management Practices.
5. There have been no significant changes in industrial activities at this facility during the existing term of this
permit.
6. Signed Certification of the development and implementation of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
at this facility.
REQUESTED PERMIT MODIFICATIONS
We are requesting a modification to the permit in order to clarify the concentration of formaldehyde that triggers
spray irrigation from the stormwater detention basin(SWDB). In Section B,Table 3(Benchmark Values for
Analytical Monitoring)of the permit,the benchmark concentration for formaldehyde is set at 0.49 ppm. However,
Table 4(Threshold Values requiring Spray Irrigation from the SWDB)in Section B establishes a land application
benchmark of 1.0 ppm. The gap between the Analytical Benchmark concentration(0.49 ppm)and the Spray
Irrigation Benchmark concentration(1.0 ppm)creates uncertainty as to how stormwater in the SWDB with a
concentration between 0.50 ppm and 0.99 ppm should be managed. The facility's standard operating procedure is to
land apply any stormwater in the SWDB with a concentration greater than 0.49 ppm. We are requesting the
following modifications and clarifications:
1) Remove the Spray Irrigation benchmark for formaldehyde from Table 4 and make it a requirement that any
stormwater with a formaldehyde concentration greater than 0.49 ppm be land applied in the spray field.
Modify footnote#4 of Table 1 to reflect this change as well.
2) Clarify that Tier I and Tier II requirements are only triggered in the event of a discharge of stormwater with
a formaldehyde concentration greater than 0.49 ppm.

Should you have any questions,please feel free to contact Tim Riddick at(252)585-3819.
Sincerely,

Required Item # 4
BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
All material and process storage areas that pose a reasonable potential for
stormwater pollution at the Conway Resins facility have been placed inside
buildings or sheds. All bulk liquid storage tanks, loading/unloading areas, and
manufacturing areas are provided with secondary containment and/or are roofed to
minimize stormwater contact and to collect any stormwater that comes into
contact with manufacturing operations. All technical and economically feasible
means to eliminate and/or reduce exposure of materials and processes to
stormwater have been implemented.
Good Housekeeping Measures and Controls
Good housekeeping practices are designed to maintain a clean and orderly work
environment. At this facility, the following types of good housekeeping measures
are implemented in an effort to prevent pollutants from entering storm water
discharges.
Operation and Maintenance
• Floors and ground surfaces are kept dry and clean by using brooms,
shovels, vacuum cleaners, or cleaning machines.
• Garbage and waste materials are regularly picked up and properly disposed.
• All spillage is promptly removed.
• Equipment is routinely inspected to make sure it is maintained in working
order.
• The importance of spill cleanup procedures are communicated to
employees through routine meetings.
Materials Storage Practices
• Adequate aisle space is provided to facilitate material transfer and easy
access for inspections.
• Containers, drums, and bags of material are stored away from direct traffic
routes to prevent accidental spills.
• Containers are stacked according to manufacturers' instructions.
• Containers are stored on pallets to prevent corrosion.

Required Item # 4
Material Inventory Procedures
• An up-to-date inventory of all hazardous and non-hazardous materials kept
at the facility is maintained.
• All containers are labeled showing the name of the materials.
• Storage areas where hazardous materials are stored have been specially
designed to contain spills.
Employee Participation
• Information on good housekeeping practices are distributed during
employee training sessions.
• Good housekeeping measures are discussed at routine employee meetings.
• Good housekeeping tips and reminders are noted around the plant.
Preventive Maintenance
The facility's preventive maintenance program includes:
• Timely inspections and maintenance of storm water management devices.
• Regular inspection and testing of facility equipment and systems to uncover
conditions that could cause breakdowns or failures resulting in discharges
of pollutants to surface waters.
• Proper maintenance of facility equipment and systems.
• The facility has an active preventive maintenance program under the
guidance of the maintenance supervisor.
Equipment Repair or Replacement
• Defective equipment found during inspections and testing shall be promptly
repaired or replaced.
Records on Preventive Maintenance
• The facility has a records system that indicates when inspections are to be
conducted. Inspection and testing records are maintained at maintenance
planner's office.

Required Item # 4
Visual Inspections
• Visual inspections are conducted on a routine basis. The inspections shall
be performed periodically and after storm events. The following areas are
inspected:
1. areas around all equipment
2. areas where spills and leaks have occurred in the past
3. material storage areas (tank farms and drum storage)
4. outdoor material processing areas
5. material handling areas (loading, unloading, and transfer)
6. waste generation, storage, treatment, and disposal areas

Required Item # 5
This requirement does not apply for our facility as there have been no significant
changes in industrial activities at this facility during the existing term of the
current permit.
