Review of Permit Renewal — NCS000386
Rohm and Hass Chemicals, LLC
August 6, 2018
SIC 2821— Chemical Manufacturing — Bulk latex polymer manufacturer. Finished product — water based acrylic
polymers. Majority ends up being used in paints.
Monitoring —The facility has been monitoring for TSS, BOD, Zn and pH. Previous permit did have tier system.
o Reviewed data from 2010 through 2018. Facility had continual exceedance of Zn benchmark and sampled
monthly for this at one outfall. Was only sampling for that parameter instead of for all.
o Don't appear to be any exceedances of BOD or pH at either outfall. BOD removed from draft. pH
maintained as a baseline parameter.
o Only a couple of exceedances of TSS benchmark at the 001 outfall. Maintain TSS.
o Zn — exceeded 8 times from 2010 to 2013 but not since then at outfall 001. Zn exceeded at most sampling
events at outfall 002. See discussion below.
o Parameters remaining in the permit — TSS, Zn and pH.
o Tier structure adjusted to have the three levels as in current permits.
o Parameter codes added to permit.
Discussed site issues with facility contact —Jamie Watts (6/4/18).
This is an acrylic emulsion facility. Finished product is a water based acrylic polymer. Looks like white paint. 75% of
what is in paint is this product. A few hazardous materials in their raw materials, but not final product. Three
reaction train converts to final polymer material that is not a toxic or flammable material.
Facility overview — Facility site plan shows five drainage areas and two outfalls. On the west side there is a high
point at the plant entrance. Flow splits from here and drainage around the side of the building around to visitor
parking flows to SDO#002 (Warehouse). Loading/unloading area is contained and pumped to wastewater. The
warehouse itself (roof) drains to a location that is routed to the wastewater system. Area with finished product is
diked and goes to wastewater. Number of areas under roof but with open walls have containment and are
evaluated and either released or pumped to wastewater. Stormwater flow goes to small pond near their
wastewater monitoring location. It is evaluated and if it hits all checks is pumped to the larger detention pond on
the east side of the facility. This pond has a gate valve and water is detained here, evaluated and released manually.
Mr. Watts indicated it takes significant rain amounts or multiple events before they release flow. Drainage areas I, II
and IV go through the pond system
Discussed the Zinc numbers with Mr. Watts. These issues have mainly been at Outfall 002 which only drains the
apron around the building. They have taken a number of steps to try and reduce the levels of Zn including
redirecting the warehouse roof drains. They feel the Zn results may be due to material from truck tires from truck
traffic into the loading/unloading area. There were a number of Zn benchmark exceedances at outfall 001 between
2009 and 2013. May be that the rerouting of the warehouse roof drain impacted these numbers? The Zn
benchmark has increased since the previous permit (from 0.067 to 0.125mg/L) so they might not hit the higher
benchmark as often.
Facility drains to UT to Brier Creek in the Catawba River Basin, a class C stream. 2014 Assessment Report 11-137-8-2
shows no impairment of concern for this facility in this area. Statewide Hg listing, but this facility does not appear to
be potential source in these problems.
NC National Heritage review— NHP report shows no aquatic resources of concern.
MRO — Draft permit to Regional Office and Charlotte -Mecklenburg Stormwater Services on June 11, 2018. Site visit
on 6/26/2018, email from James that region is okay to issue — 6/28/2018. Inspection report included notes that
recommendations were made to the permitee from MRO/CMSWS for more monitoring and for die testing of inlets
to confirm where things drain — wastewater system, starmwater pond, etc. Add language about this to the cover
letter for the permit. MRO and CMSWS approved language for letter 8/6/2018.

Inspection Summary:
The inspection was conducted as part of the permit renewal process. Based on the inspection the site was in compliance
and I recommend that the new permit be issued as drafted. However, the site is a candidate for further technical assistance.
They have been sampling monthy for zinc for many years and have evaluated most sources of zinc contributing the higher
discharge levels at outfall 2. Additional sampling was recommended during the inspection. Char/Mock stormwater services
also recommended that additional dye testing of the stormwaterlwastewater collection system be'conducted to confirm that
all of the site inlets discharge to the wastewater treatment system.

Permit No. NC5000386

Dear Mr. Watts:
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. Please review the draft
carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains.
The draft permit contains the following significant changes from the facility's current permit:
You are required to collect analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during "measurable
storm events" as defined in Part II, Section B. This term is different from the "representative
storm event" in earlier permits.
Requirements for the stormwater Pollution Plan (SPPP) have been updated in Part II, Section A.
Monitoring requirements in the draft permit have changed slightly from the previous permit.
Monitoring is proposed for Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Total Recoverable Zinc (Zn) and pH.
Monitoring reported in your renewal application showed results for Biological Oxygen Demand
(BOD) below the benchmark level. The draft permit proposes to remove BOD from the permit.
Comments from our regional staff or other information may result in maintaining this parameters
or adding other parameters if it is apparent that your activities in some way have the potential to
release them through stormwater runoff.
Stormwater benchmarks remain in the permit as before. Keep in mind that benchmarks are not
permit limits, but rather guidelines for implementing the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SPPP). A benchmark exceedance is not a permit violation; however, the permittee must respond
to exceedances. The draft permit has modified the tiered response process for benchmark
exceedances consistent with other permits in our program. Please become familiar with the tiered
process as proper response under the tiers may be enforceable items under your permit.
Response to the tiered process may include review of onsite conditions, installation of BMPs or
requirements for more frequent monitoring.

4. Vehicle maintenance (Tables 4 & 5) monitoring parameters have been revised. Non -Polar Oil &
Grease [EPA Method 1664 (SGT-HEM)] replaces Oil & Grease/TPH. The benchmark for Non -polar
Oil & Grease using this method is 15 mg/L. This requirement appears in all individual stormwater
permits; however, it only applies to facilities that perform onsite vehicle maintenance activities. If
the facility begins vehicle maintenance during the permit cycle, the requirements shall apply. Also,
pH monitoring is no longer required for discharges only associated with vehicle maintenance
activities.
The vehicle maintenance language in the permit has also been modified to clarify that these
activities include not just vehicles, but also other similar equipment maintenance activities that
may be exposed to stormwater. This has always been the Division's implementation of this
requirement, but hopefully the adjusted language is a little clearer about this process.
5. Language has been added under Part It Section D to address potential responses to qualitative
monitoring issues.
6. A new section on Special Conditions has been added in Part II, Section E to comply with federal
regulations requiring electronic submittal of discharge monitoring reports. Our electronic
submittal process is not available for use at this time, but we will continue to provide feedback on
when this process will be available.
7. Civil and administrative penalty amounts have been updated to reflect current federal law in Part
III, Section A, 2(b) and (g).
8. The definition of Bulk Storage of Liquid Materials was revised in Part IV Definitions to omit the
language "located in close proximity to each other" as it applies to multiple above ground storage
containers having a combined storage of 1,320 gallons.
Please review the draft permit and submit any comments to me no later than 30 days following your
receipt of the draft. Comments may be emailed to me at [e-mail] or mailed to my
attention at NC DEMLR, Stormwater Permitting Program, 1612 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-
1612. With this notification the Division will solicit comment on this draft by publishing a notice in a local
newspaper. Following the 30 day public comment period, the Division will review comments and take
appropriate action prior to issuance of the final permit.
If you have any questions, please email me or call me at [phone].

PART II MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR
PERMITTED DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
The permittee shall develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SPPP). The SPPP shall be maintained on site unless exempted from this requirement by
the Division. The SPPP is public information in accordance with Part III, Standard
Conditions, Section E, paragraph 3 of this permit. The SPPP shall include, at a minimum,
the following items:
1. Site Overview. The Site Overview shall provide a description of the physical facility
and the potential pollutant sources that may be expected'to contribute to
contamination of stormwater discharges. The Site�Overview shall contain the following:
(a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle map`or appropriately drafted equivalent
map), showing the facility's location in relation,to transportation routes and surface
waters; the name of the receiving waters;to which4the stormwater outfalls
!,. of
discharge, or if the discharge is to a muni
r cipal separate storm sewer system, the
errf Jrw:
name of the municipality and the ultimate receiving waters; and accurate latitude
and longitude of the points of stormwater discharge associated with industrial
activity. The general loc-`ation map, or Alternatively the site map) shall identify
whether any receiving waters arempaired (on the state's 303(d) list of impaired
waters) or if the site is located' in a watershed for which a TMDL has been
established, and what�the parameters of concern are.
(b) A narrative description of'storage practices, loading and unloading activities,
outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and
waste disposal practices. A narrative description of the potential pollutants that
could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall.
(c) A site map drawn at a scale Sufficient to clearly depict: the site property boundary;
the stormwater discharge outfalls; all on -site and adjacent surface waters and
wetlands; industrial activity areas (including storage of materials, disposal areas,
process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads); site topography and
finished grade; all drainage features and structures; drainage area boundaries and
total contributing area for each outfall; direction of flow in each drainage area;
industrial activities occurring in each drainage area; buildings; stormwater Best
Management Practices (BMPs); and impervious surfaces. The site map must
indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious, and the site map
must include a graphic scale indication and north arrow.
(d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants during the previous three (3) years
and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts.
Part II Page 1 of 12

Permit No. NCS000386 DRAFT
(e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of
non-stormwater discharges. The permittee shall re -certify annually 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 Strategy. The Stormwater Management Strategy shall
contain a narrative description of the materials management practices employed which
control or minimize the stormwater exposure of significant materials, including
structural and nonstructural measures. The Stormwater Management Strategy, at a
minimum, shall incorporate the following:
(a) Feasibility Study. A review of the technical and economic feasibility of changing
the methods of operations and/or storage practices�o61iminate or reduce exposure
of materials and processes to rainfall and rum"on flows. Wherever practical, the
rV /^ \ . r
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, this review shall document the°feasibility of diverting the stormwater
run-on away from areas of potential contamination:'
(b) Secondary Containment Requirementiand '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 an . amount of hazardous substances in order 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. If the secondary containment devices are connected to
stormwater conveyancetsystems, the connection shall be controlled by manually
activated valves or other similar devices (which shall be secured closed with a
locking mechanism). 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 any
material. 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. For facilities subject to a federal oil Spill
Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC), any portion of the SPCC Plan
fully compliant with the requirements of this permit may be used to demonstrate
compliance with this permit. The Division may allow exceptions to secondary
containment requirements for mobile refuelers, as with the exemption provided by
amendments to federal SPCC regulations, as long as appropriate spill containment
and/or diversionary structures or equipment is used to prevent discharge to surface
waters. Exceptions do not apply to refuelers or other mobile tankage used primarily
as hulk liquid material storage in a fixed location in place of stationary containers.
(c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management
Practices (BMPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs
Part lI Page 2 of 12

Permit No. NC5000386 DRAFT
shall be based on the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute
significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and on data collected
through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a
written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the
selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually.
3. Spill Prevention and Response Procedures. The Spill Prevention and Response
Procedures (SPRP) shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based
on a materials inventory of the facility. Facility personnel responsible for implementing
the SPRP shall be identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and
dated by each individual acknowledging their responsibilities for the plan. A
responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility operations that have
increased potential to contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or exposure of
materials associated with the facility operations. The SPWmust be site stormwater
specific. Therefore, an oil Spill Prevention Control,and Countermeasure plan (SPCC)
may be a component of the SPRP, but may not bye sufficentto.completely address the
stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common elements of tile' SPCC with the SPRP may
be incorporated by reference into the SPRP.
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative
/1r
maintenance and good housekeeping program shall be developed and implemented.
The program shall address all stormwater control systems (if applicable), stormwater
discharge outfalls, all on-site,and adlacents' uYface waters and wetlands, industrial
�...y "I , y.,
activity areas (including material,storageareas, material handling areas, disposal areas,
process areas, loading and unload ng,areas, and haul roads), all drainage features and
structures, and existing structural BMPs. The program shall establish schedules of
inspections, maintenance and housekeeping activities of stormwater control systems,
as well as facility equipment; -facility areas, and facility systems that present a potential
for stormwater exposure or'stormwater pollution where not already addressed under
another element of the SPPP. Inspection of material handling areas and regular
cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program. Timely
compliance with the established schedules for inspections, maintenance, and
housekeeping shall be recorded and maintained in the SPPP.
5. Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur
as part of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a
minimum on a semi-annual schedule, once during the first half of the year (January to
June), and once during the second half (July to December), with at least 60 days
separating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently than semi-annually).
These facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the stormwater
discharge characteristic monitoring at the outfalls required in Part I1 B, C, and D of this
permit.
6. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill
response and cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's
operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. The facility
Part it Page 3 of 1Z

Permit No. NCS000386 DRAFT
personntiel responsible for implementing the training shall be identified, and their
annual training shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained.
7. Responsible Party. The SPPP shall identify a specific position or positions responsible
for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision of the SPPP.
Responsibilities for all components of the SPPP shall be documented and position
assignments provided.
8. SPPP Amendment and Annual Update. The permittee shall amend the SPPP
whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, site drainage,
maintenance, or configuration of the physical features which may have a significant
effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of
the SPPP shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. The annual update
shall include: A 1�1

The Director may notify the permittee when the SPPP 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 SPPP 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.
9. SPPP Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan and all appropriate BMPs consistent with the provisions of this permit,
in order to control contaminants entering surface waters via stormwater.
Implementation of the SPPP shall include documentation of all monitoring,
measurements, inspections, maintenance activities, and training provided to
employees, including the log of the sampling data and of actions taken to implement
BMPs associated with the industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance activities.
Such documentation shall be kept on -site for a period of five (5) 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 measureable storm event at each
stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with
industrial activity must be sampled (See Definitions).
A measurable storm event is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the
permitted site outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours
prior. The 72-hour storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a shorter
interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and the permittee
obtains approval from the local DEMLR Regional Engineer. See Definitions.

Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. When physical separation between
outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, sampling shall begin within the first 30
minutes, and shall continue until completed.
3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless
representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the Division's letter granting ROS shall be
kept on site.
4 For each sampled measureable storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge
is required. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain gauge reading
may be substituted for an on -site reading.
The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule
specified below in Table 2, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection
(see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Sampling is not required outside of the facility's
normal operating hours. A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2
sample dates, unless monthly monitoring has been instituted under a "Tier Two"
response. Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented
in the SPPP and recorded on the DMR. The permittee must report the results from each
sample taken within the monitoring period (see Part III, Section E). However, for purposes
Part 11 Page 5 of 12

The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3.
Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase
management actions, increaall
se record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management
Practices (BMPs) in a tieredj'program. See below the descriptions of Tier One, Tier Two, and
Tier Three response actions'l?elow. In the event that the Division releases the permittee from
continued monthly monitoring and reporting under Tier Two or Tier Three, the Division's
release letter may remain in effect through subsequent reissuance of this permit, unless the
release letter provides for other conditions or duration.

representative outfall status. Qualitative monitoring shall be performed semi-annually
during required analytical monitoring events unless the permittee is required to perform
further qualitative monitoring-p r,the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below). Inability
to monitor because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and
recorded on the Qualitative Monitoring -Report form (see Adverse Weather in Definitions).
Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must be monitored
(See Definitions).
In the event an atypical condition is noted at a stormwater discharge outfall, the permittee
shall document the suspected cause of the condition and any actions taken in response to
the discovery. This documentation will be maintained with the SPPP.

Mr. Watts,
Thanks for talking with me earlier this week about the permit renewal for your facility. First, let me apologize
for how long it has taken us to get going on your permit renewal. A number of issues over the last few years
have led to a backlog on renewal of our Individual permits. As I indicated in the call, I will be working on this
renewal process. Since the previous renewal application came in back in 2013 I'm guessing there may be
some changes that we should discuss and possibly have documented for the renewal. In addition, here are a
few additional items that would be helpful if you can provide updates:
• I have attached a printout of contacts we have in our database for the facility. Can you please review
this and let me know if there are changes to contacts and if the owner/facility information is still
accurate?
• We will have to work to get accurate outfall location information in our system in order to meet
federal requirements for electronic reporting. If you could provide the lat/long coordinates for your
outfall points that would be helpful.
• If you can provide summary monitoring information since your application submittal in October 2013
that would be help as well.
• Let me know about any changes that have occurred in your facility or processes since your application
submittal.
I would like to set up a time that we can have a conference call to discuss the renewal in more detail. I work
part time and my schedule is generally to be in the office on Monday through Wednesday but I can be
available to talk at other times. I will be out of the office all of the week of May 71" but will be back in on May
14th. Please let me know when we may be able to talk.
Thanks
Bradley Bennett

RE: Rohm and Haas Chemicals at 6101 Orr Road, Charlotte, NC; NCS000386
Dear Bradley Bennett:
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide information
about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
A query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are records for rare species, important natural
communities, natural areas, or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. These
results are presented in the attached 'Documented Occurrences' tables and map.
The attached 'Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that have been
documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these records suggests that
these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area if suitable habitat exists and is
included for reference. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed area within a one -mile radius of the
project area, if any, are also included in this report.
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation planning, project
review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria for regulatory decisions.
Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published without prior written notification to the
NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP
data may not be redistributed without permission.
Also please note that the NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a
Dedicated Nature Preserve (DNP), Registered Heritage Area (RHA), Clean Water Management Trust Fund
(CWMTF) easement, or an occurrence of a Federally -listed species is documented near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance, please
contact Rodney A. Butler at rodney.butler(m cn dcr.gov or 919.707.8603.
Sincerely,

There are no documented element occurrences (of medium to very high accuracy) that intersect with the project area. Please note, however, that although the NCNHP database
does not show records for rare species within the project area, it does not necessarily mean that they are not present; it may simply mean that the area has not been surveyed. The
use of Natural Heritage Program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys if needed, particularly if the project area contains suitable habitat for rare species. If rare
species are found, the NCNHP would appreciate receiving this information so that we may update our database.

Summary of Best Management Practices
Rohm and Haas Chemicals, LLC
Charlotte Plant
The following Best Management Practices have been implemented to protect stormwater discharge
from contamination at the Rohm and Haas Charlotte Plant.
Good
Plant Rounds are conducted to identify areas in need of housekeeping. A recurring
Housekeeping
task list is used to ensure basic housekeeping is accomplished on a routine basis.
Maintenance is performed under roof where feasible.
Preventive
The plant has an extensive preventive maintenance program to extend the life of
Maintenance
operating equipment and to minimize the potential for leaks. This includes a
mechanical integrity program that complies with the requirements of OSHA PSM.
No additional controls are considered necessary.
Inspections /
Several areas of the plant require periodic inspections because of their potential for
Outfall Sampling
serious environmental, operations, or personal consequences in the event of a failure
Requirements
or malfunction.
Plant areas must be frequently inspected for spills or leaks which could lead to a
release of chemicals to the environment or a threat to human health. Inspections must
be performed often enough to identify problems in time to correct them before they
cause any damage or harm. These inspections are accomplished via plant rounds.
Plant rounds procedures have been developed which identify areas and equipment to
be inspected, types of problems to look for during the inspection, personnel or
department responsible for the inspections, and the inspection frequency.
The Stormwater discharge outfall and all associated conveyance and storage facilities
shall be inspected semi-annually per the stormwater permit conditions (November —
April, and May -October). Written records of these inspections are maintained on site.
Sampling and analysis of stormwater discharges will be required s specified in the
facility stormwater permit. Results of these sampling events (SDO Monitoring
Report) should be submitted to the Central Files, Division of Water Quality, Raleigh,
North Carolina, and maintained in the Appendix to this Plan.
Spill Prevention
All employees are actively encouraged to report both spills and potential spills
and Response
through our LOPC (Loss of Primary Containment) reporting process. Reports are
actively reviewed and ranked by likelihood and potential impact. Pre-emptive actions
are taken to prevent spills before they occur. This is part of an ongoing effort to
eliminate all spills at the site.
A Consolidated Emergency Response Plan is maintained by the site with instructions
on Spill Response. It includes specific instructions on spills to stormwater systems,
including notification of NCDENR.
Management of
Runoff from Areas 11,111 and IV is discharged through SDO #001 only after it has
Runoff
been assessed for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. This is done by written
procedure, and includes a record of sampling results.
October 2013, J. Watts

Summary of Best Management Practices
Rohm and Haas Chemicals, LLC
Charlotte Plant
Employee
Personnel handling chemicals or who are involved in environmental protection and
Training
product safety activities at the site receive training in the safe handling of oils,
hazardous substances/wastes, and in spill and release prevention and response as
required by their assigned jobs.
Employees involved directly in releasing stormwater from SDO #001 or in sampling
stormwater for compliance monitoring receive training on those topics.
Employee training records are maintained by the Training Coordinator.
General Employee
Training topics include a general overview of chemical use in the plant, how to
Awareness
recognize problems (i.e., potential and actual spills and leaks), and procedures for
addressing releases. All employees are made aware of the Emergency Response Plan,
and are encouraged to read and understand the purpose and contents of the Plan.
Employee training records are maintained by the Training Coordinator.
Emergency
Because the Plant will evacuate in the event of a significant spill or release, no formal
Response Team
Emergency Response Team exists. All plant personnel are trained on their roles in
implementing the Emergency Response Plan, including specific roles of certain job
functions. These roles are identified in the Emergency Response Plan.
The following topics are covered in training:
• First aid (appropriate job titles)
• Evacuation plans
• Recognition of nature of spills (i.e., flammable, etc.)
• Spill control, containment, and clean-up procedures
• Use of various types of fire extinguishers
• Documentation of training and proficiency
Facility Security
The Charlotte Plant is enclosed by a security fence (6' to 8' high) and is manned
continuously. The facility is illuminated at night. Lighting is sufficient to allow.
visible detection of leaks, spills or releases during darkness. Access to the operations
area of the site is gained through key -coded electronic security gates.
Recordkeeping
All records of inspection, certifications, incident reports, and training documentation
and Reporting
are maintained on site. The Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan and all associated
documentation are retained for a period of five years.
October 2013, J. Watts

Significant Industrial Activity Changes
Rohm and Haas Chemicals, LLC
Charlotte Plant
The last Stormwater permit application for the Rohm and Haas Charlotte Plant was submitted in
February of 2006. Since then, the following significant changes have been made:
• Installation of a new Reactor Train and associated Processing and Storage Vessels
• Completion of several Mechanical Integrity Driven Projects including replacement of monomer
feed lines from the Tank Farm to the Reactor Deck
Neither of these changes increase the likelihood of non-stormwater discharges or required changes to
our established Best Management Practices.

VIA OVERNIGHT MAIL CD
RE: Draft NPDES (Stormwater) Permit No. NCS000386
Rohm and Haas Chemicals LLC - Charlotte PIant
Dear Mr. Lowther:
Rohm and Haas is in receipt of the draft stormwater permit for our -facility, dated January 28,
2009. We have reviewed the draft permit and are providing these comments for your
consideration. Our main concern with the draft permit is the benchmark values for pH. and zinc.
Based on the data presented below we are concerned that we may routinely exceed these
benchmarks values due to background conditions at our site.
The draft pemit Benchmark Value for zinc is 0.067 mg/L. Zinc is commonly found in rain, and
is recognized to be washed out of the atmosphere during rain events. Data on zinc concentrations
in rainwater is limited in scientific literature, but there is a reference that "The average
concentration of zinc in rain falling in the United States was 0.107 mg/L" (Lazrus, A.L., Lorange,
E. and Lodge, J.P. Lead and other metal ions in United States precipitation. Environ. SCL
TechnoL, 4: 55 (1970)) This average value is higher than the benchmark value of 0.067mg/L.
The draft permit Benchmark Value for pH is 6-9. Data from the National Atmoshperic
Deposition Program indicates that the pH of rain in the Charlotte area is typically less than 5.0.
See attached Figure 1, or the websites for data from the 2 closest monitoring stations:
http://nadp.sws.uiuc.edu/sites/siteinfo.asp?net=NTN&id=NC34
http://nadp.sws.uiuc.edu/sites/siteinfo.asp?net=NTN&id=NC36
Given that background conditions of zinc and pH in rainwater may be outside of their respective
benchmark valuess, Rohm and Haas requests that these zinc and pH benchmark values be
excluded, or adjusted to more accurately reflect naturally occurring contaminants.
In Section C, the draft permit indicates that qualitative monitoring be conducted during the
analytical monitoring event/rain event. Please note that the Plant retains rainwater on site in the
stormwater detention area typically until the rain event has ended, and that typically there is no
discharge through Pipe 001 during the rain event itself. The rainwater is released only after
satisfying inspection and testing criteria. Given that the required analytical monitoring sample

collection would likely occur after the rain event has ended, the Plant is requesting that language
be added to allow qualitiative inspection during the rain event or during discharge for the
analytical monitoring event.
Please feel free to contact me at [phone], 0061 if you have any questions or need
additional information.
Sincerely,
1 �

Dear Thomas L. Archibald:
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. Please review the draft
very carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains.
The draft permit contains the following significant changes from this facility's current permit:
Analytical monitoring changes:
1. Analytical monitoring parameters, Zinc and BOD-5, have been maintained for the renewal Permit.
The EPA General Sector Specific Stormwater permit recommends monitor for TSS and Zinc for the sector
C "Chemical and Allied Products" under SIC code 2821. Therefore, TSS has been added to this permit.
2, pH has been added to the analytical monitoring requirements.,
3. Ail analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as defined in
Part 11 Section B. The permittee must also document the total precipitation for each event. If no discharge
occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating "No Flow"
within 30 days of the end of the six-month sampling period. Additionally, samples must be taken a
minimum of 60 days apart, as specified in Table 2.
4. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring have been added to this draft permit. Exceedances of benchmark
values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record
keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. If the
sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at
any outfall then the facility shall follow the Tier 1 guidelines which require a facility inspection within
two weeks and implementation of a mitigation plan within two months. If during the term of this permit,
the sampling results are above the benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific .
parameter at a specific discharge outfall two times in a row (consecutive), then the facility shall.follow the
Tier 2 guidelines which require a repetition of the steps listed for Tier 1 and also immediately institute
monthly monitoring for all parameters at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark
value for two consecutive samples.
5. You are required to collect all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during representative
storm events as defined in Part 11 Section B. Qualitative monitoring is required regardless of
representative outfall status.
6. You are responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote 1 of Tables 1, 4,
and 5.
7. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall Non`hCarolina

8. Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with analytical
and qualitative monitoring. This requirement appears in all Individual Stormwater permits, however it
only applies to facilities that do vehicle maintenance. If the facility begins vehicle maintenance during the
permitted timeframe then the requirements shall apply.
Other permit changes:
1. Additional guidance is provided about the Site Plan requirements. The site map must now identify if the
receiving stream is impaired and if it has a TMDL established. It must also describe potential pollutants
in each outfall. The map requirements are stated more explicitly. And, the site plan must contain a list of
significant spills that have occurred in the past three years and also must certify that the outfalls have
been inspected to ensure that they do not contain non-stormwater discharges. Additional information is
provided in Part II Section A.
2. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Management Plan have been specified in Part II Section A.
More details regarding secondary containment are provided.
3. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been specified in Part 11
Section A. The plan must also be updated annually to include a list of significant spills and to certify that
the outfalls do not contain non-stormwater discharges.
4. The facility must now implement a semi-annual Facility Inspection Program of the site's stormwater
management controls as specified in Part II Section A.
5. Information regarding the No Exposure Exclusion has been added to this draft permit. If industrial
materials and activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described in 40 CFR §122.26(g), the
facility may qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES stormwater discharge permit
requirements. Additional information is provided in Part I Section A.
6. Per the requirements of the Catawba Riparian Buffer Rule, all stormwater drainage from portions of
this site that have been constructed after June 30, 2001 must be discharged through a correctly
designed level spreader or another device that meets diffuse flow requirements per 15A NCAC 2B
.0243. Diffuse flow requirements are described in Chapter 8 of the North Carolina Stormwater BMP
Manual, available at: httl2://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/`­bmp—forms.htm
Please submit any comments to me no later than thirty (30) days following your receipt of the draft.
Comments should be sent to the address listed at the bottom of this page. If no adverse comments are
received from the public or from you, this permit will likely be issued in about two months.
If you have any questions or comments concerning this draft permit, contact Brian Lowther at

(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 5. The permittee shall re -certify annually that the stormwater
outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges.
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:
(a) Feasibility Study. A review of the technicald nomic 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 u�noff away from areas of potential
contamination.
(b) Secondary Containment equ regiments and Records. Secondary containment is
required for: bulk storage of liquid materials; storage in any amount of Section
313 of Title III of theSuperfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA)
water priority chemicals;'and storage in any amount of hazardous substances, in
order to preventJeaks•and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. A table
or summary of all s ch tanks and stored materials and their associated secondary
containment areas shall be maintained. If the 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 years.
(c) BMP Summary, A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management
Practices (BMP) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs
shall be based on the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute
significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected
through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a
written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the
selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary -shall be reviewed and updated annually.

Permit No. NCS000386
3. 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 the team) responsible for implementing
the SPRP shall be identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and
dated by each individual acknowledging their responsibilities for the plan. 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 Spill
Prevention Control and Countermeasure plan (SPCC) 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
SPRP.
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative
maintenance and good housekeeping program4allebie developed. The program shall list
all stormwater control systems, stormwater discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent
surface waters and wetlands, industrial activity`areas,(including material storage areas,
material handling areas, disposal areas, process a easloading and unloading areas, and
haul roads), all drainage features and str:uctures;. and'extsting structural BMPs. The
program shall establish schedules of inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping
activities of stormwater control systems,,as well as facility equipment, facility areas, and
facility systems that present a potential f tormwater exposure or stormwater pollution.
Inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of these areas shall
be incorporated into the program: Timely compliance with the established schedules for
inspections, maintenance and housekeeping shall be reeorded in writing and maintained
in the SPPP.
5. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill response
and cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for 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, and their annual training
shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained.
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.
7. Plan Amendment. The permittee shall amend the Plan whenever there is a change in
design, construction, operation, or maintenance which has a significant effect on the
potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of 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. Each annual update shall include a re-evaluation of the

effectiveness of the BMPs listed in the BMP Summary of the Stormwater Management
Plan.
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 Plan to meet minimum
requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with
Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 5) to the Director that the changes
have been made.
Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur as
part of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a minimum on
a semi-annual schedule, once during the first half of the`year (January to June), and once
during the second half (July to December), with at least`60 days separating inspection
dates (unless performed more frequently than semi-annually) These facility inspections
are different from, and in addition to, the stormwa er discharge characteristic monitoring
required in Part II B and C of this permit. ell

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 ten 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.

SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of
representative outfall status and shall be performed as specified in Table 4, during the analytical
monitoring event. [If analytical monitoring is not required, the permittee still must conduct semi-
annual qualitative monitoring.] Qualitative monitoring is for the purpose of evaluating the
effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and assessing new sources of
stormwater pollution.
In the event an atypical condition is noted at a stormwater discharge outfall, the permittee shall
document the suspected cause of the condition and any actions taken in response to the
discovery. This documentation will be maintained with the SPPP.

Central Office Review Summary:
1. Owner's Other Permits: (If applicable)
NCG090005 Inactive: Paints, Varnishes, Lacquers Stormwater Discharge, Rohm and Haas Chemicals LLC
2. General Observations: Chemical plant that produces architectural and functional coatings.
3. Impairment: Not 303(d) listed. Not addressed in the 2004 Basinwide Plan.
4. Threatened and Endangered: On the National Heritage map no species were federally regulated.
5. Location: The outfalls drain to a C stream.
6. Industrial Changes Since Previous Permit: Only change since the last permit application is the addition of methyl
methacrylate in bulk storage. "It is stored in a tank in the same dike as other bulk hazardous materials. And does
not pose any additional issues requiring changes in stormwater management."
7. Analytical Monitoring Notes: The permittee sampled, BOD-5, cBOD, Lead, and Zinc. Four sampling dates
were given from 11/4/2004 to 8/9/2005. Two outfalls were collected. A letter in the file dated February 18,
2004 stated that due to a lab error the BOD sample was analyzed as carbonaceous BOD instead of BOD-5. The
sample from the main stormwater collection area (`pipe 00P) which collects the stormwater from the Plant's
processing area was not affected. Monitoring was required quarterly on the four year.
8. Qualitative Monitoring Notes: The qualitative monitoring was from 11/26/01 to I0I6/05. Stormwater was
contaminated on 5/21/03 because of an overflow of a rail car loading spill pan. All contaminated stormwater
was contained and treated. None left the site. Outfall 001 had some slightly muddy water on occasion. Outfall
2 was all OK.

Revised Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring:
1. Zinc and BOD-5 sampling has been maintained. Sector C recommends monitoring for Zn and TSS. TSS has
been added to the permit.
2. pH has been added to the analytical monitoring requirements.
3. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as defined in Part II
Section B. The permittee must also document the total precipitation for each event. If no discharge occurs
during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating "No FIow" within 30 days
of the end of the six-month sampling period. Additionally, samples must be taken a minimum of 60 days apart,
as specified in Table 2.
4. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring have been added to this draft permit. Exceedances of benchmark values
require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or
install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. If the sampling results are above a
benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at any outfall then the facility shall
follow the Tier 1 guidelines which require a facility inspection within two weeks and implementation of a
mitigation plan within two months. If during the term of this permit, the sampling results are above the
benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall
two times in a row (consecutive), then the facility shall follow the Tier 2 guidelines which require a repetition of
the steps listed for Tier 1 and also immediately institute monthly monitoring for all parameters at every outfall
where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples.
5. The permittee is required to collect all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during representative
storm events as defined in Part II Section B. Qualitative monitoring is required regardless of representative
outfall status.
6. The permittec is responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote 1 of Tables 1, 4,
and 5.
7. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall parameter is in
this permit, however.)
8. Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with analytical and
qualitative monitoring.
Other Proposed Changes to the Previous Permit:
1. Additional guidance is provided about the Site Plan requirements. The site map must now identify if the
receiving stream is impaired and if it has a TMDL established. It must also describe potential pollutants in each
outfall. The map requirements are stated more explicitly. And, the site plan must contain a list of significant
spills that have occurred in the past three years and also must certify that the outfalls have been inspected to
ensure that they do not contain non-stormwater discharges. Additional information is provided in Part II Section
A.
2. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Management Plan have been specified in Part II Section A. More
details regarding secondary containment are provided.
3. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been specified in Part li Section A.
The plan must also be updated annually to include a list of significant spills and to certify that the outfalls do not
contain non-stormwater discharges.,
4. The facility must now implement a semi-annual Facility Inspection Program of the site's stormwater
management controls as specified in Part II Section A.
5. Information regarding the No Exposure Exclusion has been added to this draft permit. If industrial materials and
activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described in 40 CFR § 122.26(g), the facility may qualify
for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES stormwater discharge permit requirements. Additional information
is provided in Part I Section A.

Process Overview
Bulk raw materials are received by rail cars and tank trucks. These materials are pump unloaded
into bulk storage tanks located in the monomer tank farm or along the back drive. Other raw
materials are received in drums, totes, or bags at the warehouse. For processing, the bulk raw
materials are pumped from the storage tank into process vessels where the chemical reaction
(polymerization) takes place. Other raw materials are weighed and poured or pumped into
process vessels in either the chemical building or the reactor deck. After the reaction is
complete, the finished product is filtered and placed into product storage tanks located in the
warehouse or along the back drive. Finished product is pumped from storage tanks to either
drums, totes, tank wagons, or rail cars for shipment to customers.

Note 1: Stormwater was contaminated due to an overflow of a rail car loading spill pan. All contaminated rainwater was contained on site and
treated in the plant's wastewater treatment system; no contaminated rainwater was discharged.

Summary of Best Management Practices
Rohm and Haas Chemicals LLC
Charlotte Plant
The following best management practices have been implemented to protect storm water discharge from
contamination at the Rohm and Haas Charlotte Plant.
Containment:
Stormwater Detention:
Stormwater from a majority of the facility (including all process areas) drains to a detention pond. The
valve for the detention pond outfall is kept closed and locked. Stormwater is only released after
inspection and testing of the water. In the event of a fire, potentially contaminated fire water would be
contained on site. (Estimated capacity of the detention area is 1 million gallons.)
Secondary Containment:
Process and storage areas (including loading and unloading areas) are equipped with secondary
containment, consisting of dikes and/or trenches, which route spills or potentially contaminated rainwater
to the plant's wastewater treatment plant (for treatment and discharge to the POTW).
Prevention:
Monitoring:
Hazardous materials and waste storage areas are routinely inspected for malfunctions and/or leaks which
could result in a release of hazardous constituents to the environment. All discharges from the detention
area are evaluated prior to release. Semi-annual inspections are performed of the stormwater outfalls per
the Plant's permit conditions, as well as required sampling and testing of stormwater.
Procedures and Training:
Procedures and training are in place, including jobs handling hazardous materials, transfer operations, and
spill prevention and response. Unloading and loading operations include the use of a checklist.
Good Housekeeping: Forklift and other outdoor maintenance will be performed under roof where
feasible.
Employee Training
Personnel handling chemicals or who are involved in environmental protection and product safety
activities at this facility receive training in the safe handling of hazardous materials, finished product,
wastes, and spill and release prevention and response as required by their assigned jobs.
This training covers site -specific information including implementation of the facility's Emergency
Response Plan, the facility's Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan, relevant Stormwater Permit
requirements, and any current issues related to. stormwater. All new personnel receive appropriate
training within one month of the date they are hired. Likewise, personnel who transfer to new jobs which
involve these responsibilities receive appropriate additional training within six months of the date of
transfer. Everyone who works involves hazardous material handling receives appropriate training
initially, and annual refresher training.

Significant Industrial Activity Changes
Rohm and Haas Chemicals LLC
Charlotte Plant
Since the last permit application, the only significant change in industrial activity is the addition
of methyl methacrylate in bulk storage. This material is stored in a tank in the same dike as other
bulk hazardous materials, and does not pose any additional issues requiring changes in
stormwater management.
