Facility Activities and Process: Ennis Flint High Point Facility is a latex resin manufacturing facility for road markings. The facility manufactures resin products for incorporation into paint products for in-house distribution. Per information in the permit file history, production of latex resin involves applying an initiator (ammonium persulfate) and heat to a monomer methylmethacrylate (MMA) and butyl-acrylate (BA), along with minor chemicals, inside a reactor tank. Any spills that occur in the production area will collect to a central floor drain and drain to the AST containment berm. Onsite there is a production/manufacturing room, storage room for drums of methacrylic acid(MAA), and storage of nonflammable raw materials. Seven (7) ASTs are used for bulk storage of MMA and BA, the pre- emulsion process, an overflow AST for runaway reactions, and two (2) ASTs used for temporary storage of finished latex resin. In February 2020 there was a reduction in the percent of aqua ammonia(reduced from 29%to 19%). Per the December 2022 inspection report, the valve on the stormwater pond was damaged and the facility planned to increase the size of the pond (trees were cut around the pond at the time of inspection). Outfall SW001: Drainage area consists of the manufacturing and office building, loading bays, eleven (11)ASTs, IBC totes, 55-gallon drums, 700-gallon below-ground vault, containment pad, dumpsters,pallet storage areas,undeveloped land, and a stormwater pond. Potential pollutants include MMA, MAA, BA, and ammonium hydroxide. Additional outfalls: There is sheet flow from forested area onsite that goes directly to Kennedy Mill Creek. Why Industrial Sites with Stormwater are Subject to a Permit: Federal NPDES regulations define stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity in 40 CFR §122.26 (b)(14) as: "the discharge Page 1 of 5 from any conveyance that is used for collecting and conveying storm water and that is directly related to manufacturing,processing or raw materials storage areas at an industrial plant. The term does not include discharges from facilities or activities excluded from the NPDES program under this part 122. For the categories of industries identified in this section, the term includes, but is not limited to, storm water [sic] discharges from industrial plant yards; immediate access roads and rail lines used or traveled by carriers of raw materials, manufactured products, waste material, or byproducts used or created by the facility; material handling sites; refuse sites; sites used for the application or disposal of process waste waters (as defined at part 401 of this chapter); sites used for the storage and maintenance of material handling equipment; sites used for residual treatment, storage, or disposal; shipping and receiving areas; manufacturing buildings; storage areas (including tank farms) for raw materials, and intermediate and final products; and areas where industrial activity has taken place in the past and significant materials remain and are exposed to storm water. For the purposes of this paragraph, material handling activities include storage, loading and unloading, transportation, or conveyance of any raw material, intermediate product, final product, byproduct or waste product. The term excludes areas located on plant lands separate from the plant's industrial activities, such as office buildings and accompanying parking lots as long as the drainage from the excluded areas is not mixed with storm water [sic] drained from the above described areas." Section 2. Monitoring Information and Compliance History: • December 2015 to November 2022, benchmarks exceeded for: o TSS Ix o COD 2x Section 3. Proposed Monitoring for Stormwater Discharges: The Division considered potential pollutants from past and present industrial activities and data was submitted for December 2015 to November 2022. Quantitative sampling included pH, TSS, BOD, COD, and ammonia nitrogen. Parameters are based on potential pollutants in the drainage area, sampling results, and in some cases, dependent upon future activities (e.g., ash removal through the drainage area). Below is a table of the proposed monitoring for each outfall at the Ennis-Flint High Point site. Outfall SWO01 Quarterly monitoring Total Suspended Solids BASIS: Potential pollutant from drainage area and BMP effectiveness (TSS) indicator. Quarterly monitoring pH BASIS: Pollutant indicator Quarterly monitoring Total Rainfall BASIS: Discharge potential indicator Non-Polar Oil &Grease Quarterly monitoring Page 2 of 5 BASIS: Potential pollutant from lubricants; Method 1664 SGT-HEM targets petroleum-based O&G Quarterly monitoring Monthly Oil Usage BASIS: Potential pollutant from drainage area Quarterly monitoring BOD BASIS: Discharge potential indicator Quarterly monitoring COD BASIS: Discharge potential indicator Quarterly monitoring Ammonia Nitrogen BASIS: Potential pollutant from drainage area Stormwater Benchmarks and Tiered Response: Rather than limits,North Carolina NPDES Stormwater permits contain benchmark concentrations. Stormwater benchmarks are numerical action levels for stormwater monitoring. Benchmarks are not effluent limits, and benchmark exceedances are not permit violations. Benchmarks provide facilities a tool for assessing the significance of pollutants in stormwater discharges and the effectiveness of best management practices (BMPs). Benchmark concentrations are intended as guidelines for the facility's development and implementation of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). Benchmark exceedances require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater BMPs in a tiered program. The permit establishes a tiered approach to specify actions the permittee must take in response to analytical results above benchmark concentrations. The tiered structure of the permit provides the permittee and DEMLR wide flexibility to address issues that may arise with one or more parameters and/or outfalls. Metals benchmarks are calculated to mimic acute water quality standards and with the guidance of DWR. NC DWR follows established federal procedures for calculating acute standards when developing the benchmarks. Just like the acute standards, metals benchmarks normally reflect one half of the calculated Final Acute Value (the "1/2 FAV"). In most cases, translation into total recoverable values is based on an assumed hardness of 25 mg/L and a total suspended solids (TSS) concentration of 10 mg/L. Acute standards protect aquatic life from negative impacts of short-term exposure to higher levels of chemicals where the discharge enters a waterbody. The Stormwater Permitting Program applies this approach because of the ephemeral nature of rainfall events. The Division may evaluate results to determine if a smaller suite of parameters for some outfalls is adequate to characterize potential pollution or BMP effectiveness. For example, one or more metals or other parameters may serve as an adequate tracer for the presence of ash pollution during disturbance or ash removal in specific drainage areas at this site. For parameters that do not have a stormwater benchmark, the Division may develop a benchmark value if appropriate toxicity data become available or if rising trends in concentrations suggest a persistent source. A summary of the benchmarks in the draft permit, and their basis, is below: Page 3 of 5 Parameter Benchmark Basis Total Suspended 100 mg/L National Urban Runoff Program(NURP) Study, 1983 Solids TSS H 6 s.u. —9 s.u. NC Water Quality Standard(Range) Non-Polar Oil & Review of other state's daily maximum benchmark Grease 15 mg/L concentration for this more targeted O&G;NC WQS that EPA Method 1664 does not allow oil sheen in waters SGT-HEM BOD 30 m /L BPJ; Based on Secondary Treatment Regulation(40 CFR g 133.03 COD 120 mg/L BPJ; Generally found at levels 4x BOD5 in domestic wastewaters Ammonia Nitrogen At 7.5 s.u. pH and summer(26°C) temperature from (summer) 5.6 mg/L Wasteload Allocation document for the coastal plain region worst-case scenario Ammonia Nitrogen At 7.5 s.u. pH and winter(14°C) temperature from Wasteload (winter) 15 mg/L Allocation document for the coastal plain region(worst-case scenario Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan: The proposed permit conditions reflect the EPA and NC's pollution prevention approach to stormwater permitting. The Division's maintains that implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) and traditional stormwater management practices that control the source of pollutants meets the definition of Best Available Technology (BAT) and Best Conventional Pollutant Control Technology(BCT). The permit conditions are not numeric effluent limitations but are designed to be flexible requirements for implementing site-specific plans to minimize and control pollutants in stormwater discharges associated with the industrial activity. Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) §122.44(k)(2) authorizes the use of BMPs in lieu of numeric effluent limitations in NPDES permits when the agency finds numeric effluent limitations to be infeasible. The agency may also impose BMP requirements which are "reasonably necessary" to carry out the purposes of the Act under the authority of 40 CFR 122.44(k)(3). The conditions proposed in this draft permit are included under the authority of both of these regulatory provisions. In essence, the pollution prevention and BMP requirements operate as limitations on effluent discharges that reflect the application of BAT/BCT. Flexibility in Tier Responses: Tier Two actions provide an opportunity for the permittee to propose an alternative monitoring plan for approval by the Region: • 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. • If pursuing the alternative above after two consecutive exceedances, the permittee may propose an alternative monitoring plan for approval by the Regional Engineer. The permit therefore allows the permittee to petition the Regional Office for monitoring changes sooner than Tier Three (upon any four benchmark exceedances) and gives guidance on one option to take. For example, the permittee may request that mercury only be monitored semi-annually under the tiers, or that only parameters over the benchmark be monitored more frequently. In this way, changes to the monitoring scheme for any outfall could be handled outside of a permit modification. Page 4 of 5 Other Proposed Requirements: • It is standard for Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan(SWPPP)requirements to include an annual certification that stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non- stormwater discharges, and if any are identified, how those discharges are permitted or otherwise authorized. • Requirement to submit a request for permit modification if the facility identifies or creates any new outfalls, removes outfalls, or alters any drainage area that changes potential pollutants. • The Division expects the permittee to apply best professional judgment and consider the safety of its personnel in fulfilling sampling obligations under the permit. • Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs). If a state does not establish a system to receive such submittals, then permittees must submit DMRs electronically to the EPA. • Quarterly QualitativeNisual Monitoring to assure regular observation of outfalls throughout year. Section 4. Changes from previous permit to draft: • Monitoring increased from semi-annually to quarterly for all parameters (qualitative and quantitative) • "No discharge" clarifications made • Feasibility study requirement removed per updated stormwater program requirements • eDMR requirement added • Boilerplate language moved into body of the permit; boilerplate no longer attached • Outfall-specific monitoring been implemented to reflect industrial activity and potential pollutants specific to each discharge area • Benchmarks updated for parameters per guidance from DWR Standards group on stormwater benchmarks Section 5.

BMPs currently being practiced include secondary containment structures(concrete floor/berm walls) around all ASTs,as well as a secondary containment structure utilized by the tanker trucks during offloading of bulk liquids. The ASTs and associated transfer piping will be visually inspected on a routine basis for cracks, bulging,pitting,rust/corrosion,loose fittings,or any other physical defects which could contribute to a release. The concrete secondary containment structures will be routinely inspected for signs of cracking, spills/leaks, or drainage issues. Signs are present designating this as a hazardous material storage area. Post Addition Shelter A shelter for post additions,which contain any post addition raw materials,is located south of the ASTs. The shelter is constructed with a concrete floor and a secondary containment structure consisting of a concrete containment curb. The post additions are pumped from the shelter to the appropriate tank. BMPs in place include the inspection of the overhead piping for signs of deterioration and damage. The concrete secondary containment structure will be routinely inspected for signs of cracking, spills/leaks, or drainage issues.. Warm Raw Materials Storage Room A description of the warm raw materials storage room is provided in Section 1.3. BMPs include a secondary containment structure (concrete berm)to contain any potential spills or leaks which may occur. Loading bays with covered overhangs,located along the eastern side of the main building,will be utilized during delivery/offloading of the raw materials stored in this room in order to limit their potential for exposure to stormwater during rainfall events. Raw materials are transported between the warm raw materials storage room and the production room via forklift on an as-need basis. The concrete secondary containment structure will be routinely inspected for signs of cracking, spills/leaks, or drainage issues. Signs are present designating this as a hazardous material storage area. Production Room A description of the production room is provided in Section 1.3.As with the warm raw materials storage room,the production room also contains a secondary containment structure (concrete berm)to contain spills/leaks. The materials transfer route between the production room and adjacent warm raw materials storage room should be maintained free of clutter at all times to prevent spills associated with forklift operation. The concrete secondary containment structure will be routinely inspected for signs of cracking, spills/leaks, or drainage issues. Warehouse Located east of the production and warm raw materials storage rooms,this area of the facility is used for storage of various other hazardous and non-hazardous materials used in the production process (see table in Section 1.3). The raw materials are packaged in a combination of 55-gallon drums and paper sacks, and are stored on pallet racks/shelving along the perimeter of the room. Materials are transferred to the production room via forklift as they are needed. The materials transfer route between the warehouse and production room should be maintained free of clutter at all times to prevent spills associated with forklift operation. Signs are present designating this as a hazardous material storage area. A floor drain is located in the central portion of the warehouse room and will contain any spills that may occur within the warehouse area. The drain is plumbed directly to a belowground 700-gallon capacity steel-walled holding vault located west of the manufacturing building and north of the ASTs. The steel vault was verified to be the direct and only discharge point of the warehouse floor drain through use of a plumbing inspection camera in June 2014. Eastern Loading Bays Two loading bays with covered overhangs are located along the eastern side of the facility. All raw materials that are stored in non-bulk quantities will be delivered to the site and offloaded at the covered loading bays. Covered overhangs limit the potential for materials to be exposed to stormwater during the delivery/unloading process. Hazardous Material Routes Exposure of contaminants to rainfall and stormwater could occur in this process if forklift mishaps result in spills or releases of materials.A summary of potential BMPs to minimize the potential for exposures of contaminants to stormwater is provided as follows. • Forklift operator training: all facility employees who operate forklifts are trained in the proper and safe procedures for such operation. • Spill response: the facility SPRP includes procedures for prompt response to material and waste spills/releases, should they occur. Spill and release cleanup equipment is staged at various facility locations for rapid and convenient access,as documented in the SPRP. • Minimize outdoor transfers of materials/wastes during rainfall events: facility personnel involved in material/waste transfers are instructed to avoid such transfers during rainfall events whenever possible. If transfers are necessary during rainfall events,personnel should utilize loading bays with covered overhangs for loading and offloading materials. Outdoor Dumpsters Two dumpsters are located outdoors near the northwest corner of the manufacturing/office building. An open 30-cubic yard capacity dumpster is used for disposal of general facility wastes,while an 8-cubic yard capacity covered dumpster is used for cardboard recycling. Hazardous chemicals, substances,and powdered solids are expressly prohibited from disposal in the dumpster.. The dumpsters should be routinely inspected for the presence of cracks,holes,or other damages which could result in the wastes being exposed to stormwater. Outdoor Pallet Storage Damaged and unused pallets are stored outdoors in an uncovered location near the northwest corner of the manufacturing/office building,adjacent to the waste dumpsters. Pallets should not be stored outdoors in an uncovered location unless the pallets are clean and completely free of raw materials. Any damaged pallets showing signs of staining from raw materials should be either stored indoors, or thoroughly cleaned prior to transporting them to the outdoor storage area. No other facility features have been observed which could potentially generate adverse stormwater exposures. 3/20/23,2:17 PM North Carolina Secretary of State Search Results • File an Annual Report/Amend an Annual Report • Upload a PDF Filing • Order a Document Online - Add Entity to My Email Notification List • View Filings • Print a Pre-Populated Annual Report form • Print an Amended a Annual Report form Business Corporation Legal Name Ennis-Flint, Inc.
