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 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 sufficientto 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.

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
personnel responsible for implementing the training shall be identified, and their
annual training shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained.

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.

Permit No. NCS000236
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 instit"ut6d 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

Maintain semi-annual monitoring until either another permit is issued for this facility or until this
permit is revoked or rescinded. The permittee must submit an application for renewal of coverage
before the submittal deadline (180 days before expiration) to be considered for renewed coverage
under the permit. The permittee must continue analytical monitoring throughout the permit
renewal process, even if a renewal permit is not issued until after expiration of this permit.
If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report
indicating "No Flow" or "No Discharge" within 30 days of the end of the sampling period.
Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring
monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period. "No discharge" from an
Part II Page 6 of 12

Permit No. NCS000236
outfall during a monitoring period does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is
properly recorded and reported.
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, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management
Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. See below the descriptions of Tier One, Tier Two, and
Tier Three response actions below. 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.

SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Part II Page 8 of 12

Permit No. NCS000236
The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and identify new potential sources of stormwater
pollution. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls must be performed during a
measurable storm event.
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of
representative outfall status. Qualitative monitoring shall be performed semi-annually as
specified in Table 4, and during required analytical monitoring events (unless the permittee
is required to perform further qualitative monitoring per 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).
1 9
In the event an atypical condition is noted at a stor,:mwater,discharge outfall, the permittee
4� :,
shall document the suspected cause of the condition -arid any actions taken in response to
y-.:Iy
the discovery. This documentation will be maintained.with the SPPP.

A minimum of 60 days must separate monitoring dates, unless additional sampling has
been instituted as part of other analytical monitoring requirements in this permit.
Part 11 Page 9 of 12

Permit No. NCS000236
If the permittee's qualitative monitoring indicates that existing stormwater BMPs are
ineffective, or that significant stormwater contamination is present, the permittee shall
investigate potential causes, evaluate the feasibility of corrective actions, and implement
those corrective actions within 60 days, per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below.
A written record of the permittee's investigation, evaluation, and response actions shall be
kept in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluating SPPP effectiveness, identifying new
potential sources of stormwater pollution, and prompting the permittee's response to pollution. If
the permittee repeatedly fails to respond effectively to correct problems identified by qualitative
monitoring, or if the discharge causes or contributes to a. water quality standard violation, the
Division may but is not limited to: � ,'°
• require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease„the monitoring frequency for some
or all parameters (analytical orqualitative)
• require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls;

2.3 Best Management Practices`��
A. Existing Practices
The management of IAC have shown good effort in following a proactive approach to stormwater
pollution control. Practices relating to conveyance and diversion have been implemented and are
discussed in the following paragraphs.
1. Management of Runoff
Storm conveyances are positioned around the facility to control the bulk of the discharge created by
stormwater runoff. This drainage design allows the facility to reduce the number of outfalls by
concentrating the majority of stormwater associated with industrial activity into a common drainage
point.
2. Contact.Prevention
The use of sheltered storage areas for chemical products used in production is a good means of
contact prevention. These areas prevent or at least limit contact with residues on the outside of such
containers.
3, Good Housekeeping and Preventive Maintenance
IAC presently operates with existing practices addressing good housekeeping and preventive
maintenance. The scope of these practices has been modified to address any concerns relating to
stormwater discharge. A discussion of these practices is given in Section 4.0 of this program.
4. Secondary Containment
As discussed in Section 2.2, the gasoline and diesel fuel area as well as the tank farms for liquid
fertilizer products are provided with secondary containment. This is a key Best Management
Practice provided by IAC in preventing harmful discharges of pollutants by way of stormwater
runoff.
B. Stormwater Management. Measures Taken Based on Site Assessment:
Following the site assessment of potential pollutants, a number of activities required additional
measures to be taken by management in order to conform with best management practices. The
following paragraphs include all feasible solutions to obvious problems.
• Sediment and Erosion Control:
Many areas adjacent to impervious surfaces do not have grassed surfaces or measures to control
erosion. Stormwater flow is allowed to pass over uncovered ground that may increase sediment in
the storm effluent. The feasibility of installing sediment fences or barriers in those areas will be
discussed in the next section.
• Material Management Practices:
The primary purpose of the SPPP is prevention. Prevention can most often be obtained through
proper Material Management practices. These practices are discussed in the Good Housekeeping
and Preventive Maintenance Section. The practices described therein will be used as a guide to
reduce the risk of spills or other accidental exposure of materials and substances to stormwater
runoff.

Re: Stormwater Permit # NCS000236
Dear Sir:
.sue o "t't.�.
We made a large amount of improvements to our site. The improvements were done to
lessen run off of several metals such as Copper, Iron, and Zinc. We finished the first
stage of this around April 1, 2010. We did not have any recordable storm water events
after this date and before May 1, 2010. Therefore, we did not do a sampling. If you
should have any questions, please let me know.
Best regards,

• Burnt Swamp is not on the 303(d) list.
• There is no source for lead on site. Numbers for lead were well below the bench mark levels. Probably could
take lead off list of parameters.
• Copper and Zinc used in premium fertilizers. Facility previous commented that there was "no way that our
facility will ever be able to come under the limits for Copper and Zinc." Levels for Cu and Zn routinely exceed
bench mark levels.
• RO previously recommended adding iron and manganese to list of parameters
• Proposed new parameters include BOD and COD.
• Boron was included in the monitoring because of boron contaminated ground water. Also there are large
amounts of boron on site. At this time DEN cannot recommend a bench mark level for boron per Connie

2. Changes at the facility since previous permit: Not aware of any changes
3. Receiving Waters: Designated as unnamed tributary to Burnt Swamp, a class WS-IV; Sw stream in the Lumber
River Basin River Basin, Burnt Swamp is not on the 303(d) list.
4. Threatened and Endangered Species: There is one MES within 2 miles, Picoides Borealis (Red -cockaded
Woodpecker.
5. Analy1ical and/or qualitative monitoring during this past permit cycle: Levels for Cu and Zn as well as pH
routinely exceed bench mark levels.
6. Permit, Facility. and Owner Contacts updates: Current
7. Annual Fees: Current.
Recommendations:
Based on the documents reviewed, the application information submitted on December 30, 2013 is sufficient
to issue an Individual NPDES Stormwater Permit.
Central Office recommends reissuance of this permit with the same monitoring as the previous cycle. The
proposed draft permit reflects the most recent individual stormwater permit template and boiler plate
language, incorporating revisions that are similar to the industrial general permits issued during 2012-13.

following paragraphs include all feasible solutions to obvious problems.
• Sediment and Erosion Control:
Many areas adjacent to impervious surfaces do not have grassed surfaces or measures to control
erosion. Stormwater flow is allowed to pass over uncovered ground that may increase sediment in
the storm effluent. The feasibility of installing sediment fences or barriers in those areas will be
discussed in the next section.
• Material Management Practices:
The primary purpose of the SPPP is prevention. Prevention can most often be obtained through
proper Material Management practices. These practices are discussed in the Good Housekeeping
and Preventive Maintenance Section. The practices described therein will be used as a guide to
reduce the risk of spills or other accidental exposure of materials and substances to stormwater
runoff.

We made a large amount of improvements to our site. The improvements were done to
lessen run off of several metals such as Copper, Iron, and Zinc. We finished the first
stage of this around April 1, 2010. We did not have any recordable storm water events
after this date and before May 1, 2010. Therefore, we did not do a sampling. If you
should have any questions, please let me know.

I have reviewed the Site Assessment Report (SAR) received on March i 1, 2011 submitted for the subject
Site by The Clark Group ("your consultant"). While I agree with the general approach recommended by
your consultant for additional work, the following other items should also be addressed:
1. The information provided in the SAR concerning the presence and operational status of water
supply wells within a 500-foot radius of the Site is incomplete and should be more thoroughly
addressed. A work plan should be developed and implemented to sample supply wells that may have
been impacted as a result of activities that have occurred at the IAC facility. If the supply well is located
within a 500 toot radius of the Site and is deemed to be operational, samples should be collected to
determine if any of these wells including the adjacent well that was referenced in the report
recommendations have been contaminated by any of constituents that were identified in the

I wasn't sure what level of assistance you may be able to provide for an operational facility. However as referenced
below in my e-mail to John, the Industrial and Agricultural Chemicals site in the Buie community has contamination that
has migrated into at least one supply well which detected 1200 ug/L of boron in 1992. There are several other supply
wells down -gradient of the facility but these wells have not been sampled since that time period. I've requested that
Mr. Randall Andrews (owner of Industrial and Agricultural Chemicals) complete a SAR for this Site but given his level of
cooperation in the past it seems uncertain when or if this work will be done. Some of the material stored at this facility
originated from one of Mr. Andrews various other business interests namely the Alchem facility in Rockwell, NC.
Alchem currently has an enforcement case in the Mooresville Regional Office being pursued by the Aquifer Protection
Section for permit violations. Please contact me to let me know what information I can provide that would be helpful to
obtaining alternate water to residents in the area.

John,
This is the site that I warned you about down in Buie Robeson County. After taking a more thorough look at the ground
water report from 1992, it appears that one private supply well owned by Mr. Robert Cummings was showing 1.2 mg/L
of boron at a time when no groundwater standard had been established. The groundwater standard for boron is 315
ug/L and the Superfund Removal Action Level is 900 ug/L. This one well is over both standards and so although I have
Industrial Ag Chemicals under a 90 day deadline to perform a SAR we already have evidence that there is a significant
problem at the Site. I will look to find the contact info for the owner of this supply well and send it to you tomorrow,

will ever be able to come under your limits for Copper and Zinc. Our facility processes
thousands of tons of Zinc Sulfate and large quantities of Copper materials. At one time a
biologist did some testing downstream from our facility and found that we were not
affecting any aquatic life. I will not be able to ever meet such low limits. Could 1 meet

order to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. A table
or summary of all.suchf7tanks 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 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. A7preventative
maintenance and good housekeeping program shall.be developed. The program shall list
all stormwater control systems, stormwater discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent
surface waters and wetlands, industrial activity"'Areas,( ncluding material storage areas,

program shall establish schedules of inspection's; "maintenance, and housekeeping
If
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.
Inspection of material h ndling areas and regular cleaning schedules of these areas shall
be incorporated into the program�rTimely compliance with the established schedules for
inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping shall be recorded 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

Permit No. NCS000236
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 rcquircd
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. f�fi

Permit No. NCS000236
Industrial and Agricultural Chemicals, Inc.
Robeson County
Dear Mr. Andrews:
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 monitorin chap es:
1. Analytical monitoring parameters, pH, Oil & Grease, TSS, Boron, Copper, Lead and Zinc, have been
maintained in this permit.
2. 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 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.
3. 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.
4. You are required to conduct all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring during representative storm
events as defined in Part II Section B. Qualitative monitoring is required at every outfail regardless of
representative outfall status.
5. In the event that this permit expires, you are responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is
issued. See Footnote 1 of Tables 1, 4, and 5.
6. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall
parameter is still required in this permit, however.)

7. 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 in Section ILD shall apply.
Other permit changes:
1. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been specified in Part II
Section A. The plan must also be updated annually to include a list of significant spills and to certify that
the butfalls do not contain non-stormwater discharges.
2. 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 Il Section A.
3. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Management Plan have been specified in Part II Section A.
More details regarding secondary containment are provided.
4. The facility must now implement a semi-annual Facility Inspection Program of the site's stormwater
management controls as specified in Part 11 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.
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.

Regional Office Staff' Comments (attach additional pages as necessary)
-Conducted site -visit on February 9, 2009, met with Mr. Randall Andrews
-Discussed conditions of current (expired) permit, of which Mr. Andrews seemed to be well aware
-Most recent inspection on October 4, 2007 by Trent Allen with FRO resulted in Compliance status
-Discussed proposed revisions with permit renewal including new analytical monitoring frequency,
Benchmark Values and Tiered response procedures
-Mr. Andrews expressed a lot of concern with meeting the Benchmark Values for copper and
zinc specifically as they are primary constituents of the materials used in facility operations
-Informed Mr. Andrews -of the revised strategy concerning pH monitoring as can now be performed by
facility personnel as long as done by appropriate EPA method
-Mr. Andrews expressed that toxicity sampling was still being conducted, so I informed him that that
parameter was taken out of the permit during last renewal and could be eliminated
-Upon review of site conditions, it appeared that some additional secondary containment needs to be
provided around several storage areas of multiple totes and barrels that totaled greater than 1,320
gallons
Recommendations for permit renewal include the addition of iron and manganese, however these
parameters were not in the monitoring table of the draft permit
-FRO recommends proceeding with permit issuance with the knowledge that Benchmark Values for
copper and zinc are not likely to be met, Mr. Andrews may request guidance from regional office and
permitting unit as to how to meet these values

Central Office Review Summary:
1. Owner's Other Permits:
• Air - 3715500168
2. General Observations: Fertilizer Ingredient Manufacture. No company website. There were complaints from the
public when the first -pen -nit was issued. Boron was included in the monitoring because of boron contaminating the
ground water.
3. Impairment: Burnt Swamp is not on the 303(d) list. The basinwide plan indicates that a total of 39.4 total stream
miles (27.7 percent) in this subbasin are classified as water supply watersheds (WS-IV) which includes Burnt
Swamp, Local governments having jurisdiction within the water supply watersheds are encouraged to implement a
more protective local water supply watershed ordinance than the state's minimal requirements. For example, a more
protective land use ordinance could require a wider natural, undisturbed riparian buffer. Local governments are also
encouraged to retain these water supply classifications. This will.continue further protection for the water supply
watersheds.
4. Threatened and Endangered: There is one endangered species within two miles of the facility based on the
Natural Heritage Virtual Workroom but the species is a Picoides borealis (Red -cockaded Woodpecker) and is
not an aquatic species.
5. Location: WS-IV; Sw
6. Industrial Changes Since Previous Permit: There was no change in industrial activities since the permit
applicationwas filed.
7. Analytical Monitoring Notes: Four samples were taken from 9/14/05 to 2/26/07. Values for pH were under our
current benchmarks for 3 samples. Values for Copper and Zinc were very high.
The EPA Multi -Sector General Permit for Sector C — Chemical and Allied Products Manufacturing, and
Refining, Subsector C 1 Agricultural Chemicals recommends monitoring for Nitrate plus Nitrite Nitrogen, Total
Lead, Total Iron, Total Zinc, and Phosphorus. SIC Code 2819 is covered in C2 under Industrial Inorganic
Chemicals and the monitoring recommended is Total Aluminum, Total Iron and Nitrate plus Nitrite Nitrogen.
This facility has no Nitrogen, Phosphorous or Potassium but does have Copper and Zinc that is used in
premium fertilizers. Therefore, Copper and Zinc are maintained in the permit. Oil & Grease, TSS, pH, Boron
have all been maintained. There.is no benchmark for Boron; however there are large amounts of Boron onsite.
There is no source for Lead on site according to the permittee, however Lead was maintained in the permit
because more samples are needed to verify it is not a pollutant and some lead was detected in the previous
samples.
8. Qualitative Monitoring Notes: The visual monitoring was completed 9 times from 5/13/03 to 6/20/07 and
showed no signs of pollutants. However, all the entries.were the same.

Revised Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring:
1. Maintain parameters pH, Oil & Grease, TSS, Boron, Copper, Lead and Zin-c`I haue been
added to the analytical monitoring requirements:
2. 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 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.
3. 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 terns 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.
4. The pennittee 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.
5. The permittee is responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote 1- of Tables 1,
4,and 5.
6. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall parameter is in
this permit, however.)
7. 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 II 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.

7. What is you SIC code? The permittee informed by email that their D and B report has 5191,2819, and 5169 on it.
Follow up Phone call: Randall F Andrews, 910-843-2121, 01/12/09
8. Do you have any source of Boron or Lead on site? Large amount of Boron stored similar to the other
materials. No source for lead.
Conversation with Bill Mills 01/13/09
Bill Mills gave Ken Pickle and me background of the permittee and the issues that were dealt with when the permit
was first issued.
- There were public complaints that lead to the first public hearing on an individual stormwater permit. Based
on the county file there was a problem with borax in the groundwater.
- The whole toxicity discharge test was added to the first permit by recommendation of Ken Averitte because
of the mix of materials found at the site. When the first permit was issued the site needed some clean up and
add some best management practices. The toxicity test was taken out of the second permit when the sampling
did not show any problems and is not commonly done in stormwater permits.

Best Management Practices
In all areas there is an attempt to get up and remove any small spills. There
is an attempt to keep as much material inside the buildings as possible. We
try to load as much material inside the plant as possible. All dust and
particulate generating activities are controlled by dust collectors. There is
no waste disposal of chemicals. The only waste disposed of is scrap paper
and scrap plastic. All waste paper is kept in a storage trailer and rainfall
mixing is avoided. All storage tanks are contained so as to prevent spills,
the storage tanks are also covered to prevent rainfall mixing. Periodically,
but not less than monthly, an inspection of all potential sources of
stormwater contamination that may result from faulty plant equipment and
systems will be done. All plant personnel are required to be certain that
areas are oleaned daily.
Significant Changes
There has been no change in the industrial activity. There have been no
changes i6 the material handling practices or raw materials at our facility.

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.

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.

Permit Number NCS000236
Robeson County
Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under NPDES Permit NCS000236. This permit will
expire on January 31, 2008. North Carolina Administrative Code (15A NCAC 2H.0105(e)) requires that an
application for permit renewal be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current permit. In order to assure
your continued coverage under your permit, you must apply to the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) for renewal
of your permit. To make this renewal process easier, we are informing you that your permit will be expiring.
Enclosed you will find an individual permit renewal application form, supplemental information request, and
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan certification.
Filing the application form along with the requested supplemental information will constitute your application for
renewal of your permit. As stated above, the application form must be completed and returned along with all
requested information by October 12, 2007 in order for the permit to be renewed. The Division currently has a
backlog of unissued, expired individual permits. Should your permit expire before the renewed permit can be
reissued continue to operate following the terms and schedule of the expired permit.
Failure to request renewal by October 12, 2007 may result in a civilassessment of at least $500.00. Larger
penalties may be assessed depending on the delinquency of the request. Discharge of stormwater from your facility
without coverage under a valid stormwater NPDES permit would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and
could result in assessments of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day.
If you have any questions regarding the permit renewal procedures please contact Aisha Lau of the Stormwater
Permitting Unit at [phone], ext. 578.

Subject: Stormwater Permit Monitoring
Requirements
Dear Mr. Andrews:
On January 3, 1997 I received your letter dealing with the recent changes in stormwater
permit sampling policy. The following changes have been made for all of North Carolina's
stormwater permits.
The definition of a Representative Storm Event has also changed, and is as follows:
"A storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall and that is preceded by at
least 72 hours during which no storm event measuring greater than 0.1 inches has occurred.
A single storm event may contain intervals of 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."
In addition to these changes all of the permittees who were required to take composite
samples to monitor their stormwater discharges are now allowed to take grab samples in their
place. These changes are currently in effect.
You had also asked about application requirements to amend the permit to allow additional
discharge points. You would need to write a narrative requesting permit modification, describing
the proposed changes, any new operations to be added to the plant along with the chemicals and
processes that would be added if any, a map showing the number of outfalls and the areas drained
by each outfall. If the additional outfall is to the same receiving stream as in the permit (unnamed
tributary to Burnt Swamp, we may not have to modify the permit. If the new outfall is to a
different stream we will definitely modify the permit to reflect both receiving streams.
If you have questions concerning this matter, please contact me (919 / 733-5083 ext. 548).

Dear Ken:
I would like to advise you that we were not able to obtain a storm
water sample during the first quarter of 1995. The problem was -
that there was not a time during the day when a recordable storm

We have been able to get a sample from the Strom event of April 6
and are having it checked for everything. Please call me if you have

Subject: Toxicity Testing Protocol tNV. -MANAGEMENT ,
Industrial and Agricultural Chemicals, WEMALLt AM. OFFS&
NPDES No. NCO000236
Robeson County
Thank you for your submittal of the Industrial and Agricultural Chemicals 9/24/94
acute toxicity test results for plant effluent. In reviewing the data associated with this test
we have found that it does not meet the test protocol required by the EPA Methods for
Measuring the Acute Toxicity of Effluents and Receivintr Waters to Freshwater_and
Marine Organisms, Fourth Ed., 1991. Therefore, we have judged this analysis a "bad
test".
Protocol guidelines stipulate that the maximum age of a sample used in the test
procedure is 36 hours. Through review of the chain of custody and laboratory bench
sheets, we noted a grab sample was collected for the toxicity analysis on 9/24/94 and the
test start date was 9/27/94. The sample was 72 hours old before the test was initiated and
violation of this protocol caused the test to be invalidated. We also reviewed your letter
dated November 2, 1994 that was attached to this packet of information. This letter
indicatcd that you marked the sample type for toxicity testing as composite rather than
grab. We encourage you to correct these paperwork discrepancies for future toxicity tests
so that we are able to evaluate compliance for the submitted toxicity test data.
We remind you that Industrial and Agricultural Chemicals' monthly monitoring
reports (DMR) to the Division's Central Files will need to be amended. The effluent DMR
facility information must be completely filled out (at the top of the sheet) and the form
should have "CORRECTED COPY" written or typed at the top. The parameter code of
your particular toxicity test should be re-entered in an appropriate column with a brief
explanation that the test was not suitable as performed.
As per Industrial and Agricultual Chemicals' permit requirement effective 2/l/94, a
48 hour acute toxicity test is to be performed semiannually. Because the discharge for
Industrial and Agricultural Chemicals is in response to storm events, it is the
recommendation of this office that the facility test during the next storm event.

(unless otherwise approved in writing by the Director of the Division of
Environmental Management)
1. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall be reviewed and updated
on an annual basis. Implementation of the plan shall include
documentation of all sampling, measurements, inspections and maintenance
activities and training provided to employees, including the log of the
sampling data and of activities 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 years and
made available to the Director or his authorized representative
immediately upon request.
2. 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 II, Standard
Conditions, Section B, #13) to the Director that the changes have been
made.
3. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur at a
minimum on a semiannual schedule, once in the fall (September -November)
and once during spring (April - June). The inspection and any
subsequent maintenance activities performed shall be documented,
recording date and time of inspection, individual(s) making the
inspection and a narrative description of the facility's stormwater
control systems, plant equipment and systems. Records of these
inspections shall be incorporated into the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan.
4. Sample collection and visual monitoring, (color, foam, outfall staining,
visible sheens and dry weather flow), shall be performed at all
stormwater discharge outfall locations. If a facility has multiple
discharge locations that are required to be sampled, the permittee may
petition the Director to sample at a reduced number of outfalls if it is
established that the stormwater discharges are substantially identical.
visual observations shall be recorded for all outfall locations.
5. For purposes of the stormwater sampling required in this permit, all
samples shall be collected from a discharge resulting from a
representative storm event (See Part II, Standard Conditions, Section
A). Failure to monitor storm events in accordance with the specified
frequency shall constitute a violation of this permit. If the
stormwater runoff is controlled by a detention pond, the following
sampling requirements shall apply:
a. If the detention pond detains the runoff generated by one inch of
rainfall for 24 hours, a grab sample of the discharge from the pond
shall be collected within the first 34 minutes of the discharge.
Page 4 of 27 Pages

b. If the detention pond discharges only in response to a storm event
exceeding a ten year design storm (See Part II, Standard Conditions,
Section A), visual observations (color, foam, outfall staining, visible
sheens, and dry weather flow) are required, but analytical sampling
shall not be required.
c. If the detention pond discharges only in response to a storm event
exceeding a 25-year, 24-hour storm (See Part II, Standard Conditions,
Section A), the pond shall be considered a non -discharging stormwater
control system and not subject to NPDES requirements, unless the
discharge causes a violation of water quality standards.
6. Samples analyzed in accordance with the terms of this permit shall be
submitted on forms provided by the Director no later than January 31 for
the previous year in which sampling was required to be performed.

(a) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or
severe property damage;
Page 20 of 27 Pages

r
(b) There were no.feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use
of auxiliary control facilities, retention of stormwater or
maintenance during normal periods of.equipment downtime or dry
weather. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup
controls should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable
engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during
normal periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance;
and
(c) The permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph c. of
this section.
(2) The Director may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its
adverse effects, if the Director determines that it will meet the three
conditions listed above in Paragraph d. (1) of this section.
4. Upsets
a. Definition.
'Upset • means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional
and temporary noncompliance with technology based permit effluent
limitations because of factors beyond the reasonable control of the
permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance to the extent caused
by operational error, improperly designed treatment or control
facilities, inadequate treatment or control facilities, lack of
preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation.
b. Effect of an upset.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to.an action brought for
noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations if the
requirements of paragraph c. of this condition are met. No
determination made during administrative review of claims that
noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for
noncompliance, is final administrative action subject to judicial
review.
C. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset.
A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset
shall demonstrate, through properly signed, contemporaneous operating
logs, or other relevant evidence that:
(1) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of
the upset;
(2) The permitted facility was at the time being properly operated; and
(3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II, E.
5. (b) (B) of this permit.
Page 21 of 27 Pages

(4) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part
II, A. 2. of this permit.
d. Burden of proof.
In any enforcement proceeding the permittee seeking to establish the
occurrence of an upset has the burden of proof.

SUBJECT: Stormwater Monitoring Information
Permit NCS000236
IAC, Robeson County
Dear Mr. Andrews:
We received your table of monitoring information on June 6, 1994. It
appears to satisfy the specific parameters identified in your permit. The only
item I noted that may require a change is the method of sampling for total
suspended solids. The lab sheet from Oxford Labs indicates that it was a grab
sample, where the permit requires that a composite sample be taken for TSS. I
sent a copy of your data to Bill Hills in Raleigh for his review and comment.
I'm still not sure of the format that is expected in these self
monitoring reports for individual permits such as yours. General permit
holders have specific forms available to them based on the particular type of
permit. When I get some details or further information on this, I will
certainly pass it on to you.
The particular wetland plant that we talked about, Scirnus validus, is a
fairly common bullrush. If you have not found a source, perhaps we can locate
some growing wild and get it transplanted. (Whenever time permits.)
If we can be of further assistance, please advise.
Sincerely,
Ken Averitte

This letter is to advise you that we feel that we have met the
requirements of I., A., 1., b., (3), (b) of our stormwater per—
mit to expand the constructed wetland. We planted extra wetland
type vegetation where none was before. We also have a vegetative
ground cover beside the wetlands.
We have this week sent to Oxford
the materials on page 6 and 7 of
of whole discharge toxicity.

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
La. Site Plan
(1) A location map is enclosed.
(2) Storage Practices - An attempt is made to keep all materials inside
buildings. All loading and unloading activities are conducted inside
buildings. All dust and particulate -generating activities are controlled
by dust collectors. There is no waste disposal of chemicals. The only
waste disposed of is scrap paper and scrap plastic: All waste paper is
kept in a storage trailer and rainfall mixing is avoided.
(3) Done -with a site map
(4) We have had no spills or leaks during the past 3 years.
(5) Certification is enclosed.
1.b. (1) IAC has changed almost all of the company operation and storage practices
within the last 3 years. Practically all storage practices have been
done to reduce exposure to storage, material handling operations,
manufacturing and fueling areas.
(2) All storage tanks have been contained so as to prevent spills. In
addition, all tank containment has a roof so as to avoid the possibility
of. any rainwater mixing with chemicals.
(3) All of the items under (a), (b) and (c) have been done.
(4) All stormwater conveyances and controls are inspected periodically,
but in no case, less often than monthly. IAC has planted vegetation
around ditches and other areas where stormwater can occur.
1.c. Randall Andrews'is responsible for taking care of this. If any material is
spilled, actions to stop the flow of the spill will begin immediately.
1.d. Periodically, but not less than monthly, an inspection of all potential
sources of stormwater contamination that may result from faulty plant
equipment and systems will be done. All plant personnel are required to
be certain that areas are cleaned daily.
I.e. Randall Andrews is responsible for implementing a training program for all
employees.
The person responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementa-
tion, and any revisions that may be necessary is Randall Andrews.

Liriope 151
SCIENTIFIC NAME/FAMILY: Liriope spkata (L. graminifolia) Liliaceae
(li-ri'o-pe spi-ka'ta}
COMMON NAME: Creeping Lily-,
t6rf T
LEAVES: Evergreen grass -like
leaves, 18" long and '/4" wide,
serrulate margin. In northern
areas the foliage is a dark
green until January and then
turns to a pale green -brown
color due to winter damage.
FLOWERS: The small flowers, %"
wide, are pale -violet to white
and are arranged in terminal
racemes atop erect, light
violet -brown stapes which are
8"--10" tall. Blue -black berry-
like fruit are often present in
the fall.
HABIT: This tufted evergreen per-
ennial is 8"-12" tall with
flower stapes to 10". This
plant forms a heavy, almost
impenetrable mound.
SEASON OF BLOOM: July and
August.
CULTURE: Shade or sun, although growth is usually best in light shade in a moist, fertile soil.
If planted in full sun or full shade, the plant may grow slowly unless the soil is sufficiently
moist. Old foliage should be removed in the spring to promote new growth.
UTILIZATION: The most common use of lily -turf is as a ground cover. It spreads easily by rhi-
zomes and can quickly crowd out everythinn, including grass and weeds. It is also used as an
edging plant and in the rock garden.
PROPAGATION: Division in the spring is a common propagation practice. Seeds can be germi-
nated after stratification.
DISEASES AND INSECTS: None serious.
HARDINESS: Zone 4.
RELATED SPECIES:
Liriope muscari — Big Blue Lily -turf.
L. muscari is taller growing, 1%' tall, and has wider leaves, '/", than L. spicata. L. muscari
(Zone 7), is considered the showier of the two species but it is not reliably hardy in
northern areas. L. muscari, however, is a widely used plant in the South.
ADDITIONAL NOTES: Liriope is named in honor of the Greek woodland nymph, Liriope, the
mother of Narcissus.
Native to China and Japan. Perennial

a
• Hemerocallis 123
SCIENTIFIC NAME/FAMILY: Hemerocallisspecies ;', Liliaceae
(hem-er-o-kal'is)
COMMON NAME: D3aylily `
LEAVES: Long linear leaves, V-2`,'/2"—%" wide.
FLOWER: 5-9 flowers, fragrant; 3"-4" long, tube %"-1", pedicels 1"-2" long with small,
lanceolate bracts, lobes about %" or less broad. Flowers are borne on a leafless stem called
a scape. Flowers can be obtained in almost any color of the rainbow. They generally last
one day.
HABIT: Plants in flower range in height from 20" to 3' or 4', depending upon the cultivar.
Daylily forms large clumps with erect flower stems.
SEASON OF BLOOM: Early summer to frost. By selecting particular cultivars, the bloom can be
extended from May until October.
CULTURE: Full sun or partial shade for pastel colors which fade in the sun. Do best in soils well
supplied with organic matter and well drained. High fertility leads to rank growth and poor
flowering. Heavy root system competes well with tree roots.
UTILIZATION: Daylilies are appropriate for borders; dwarf types are suitable for rock gardens.
PROPAGATION: Divide clumps in fall or spring every 4 to 6 years by separating into rooted
segments, each with about 3 shoots. This process is somewhat difficult as the fibrous root
system is dense and hard to separate. Seeds require 6 weeks of stratification and then 3-7
weeks for germination at 60-70°.
DISEASES AND INSECTS: None serious; the average daylily is so hard to kill that it may one
day become the symbol of abandoned or overgrown gardens.
HARDINESS: Zone 4.
CULTIVARS: There are literally thousands of cultivars for the daylily fancier to choose from.
Hybridizers, led by the late Dr. A. B. Stout, New York Botanical Garden, have introduced
countless numbers of selections with new shadings, petal formations, and sizes.
ADDITIONAL NOTES: Daylily is easy to culture and the plants multiply freely. They are per-
manent and are generally not palatable to insects. Hemerocallis is Greek meaning "beauti-
ful for a day" which refers to the flowers being short-lived. Daylily has a wide distribution
and fine specimens are found in northern and southern gardens.
Native to central Europe to China and Japan; however, most selections are now hybrids.

LEAVES: Leaves alternate, coarsely toothed,
lower leaves oblanceolate, to 1' long
including petiole; upper leaves, lanceolate,
sessile, coarsely and bluntly toothed.
FLOWER: Heads terminating the long stems,
2"-3" across, with broad. and obtuse
white rays, disk flowers yellow.
HABIT: 2' to 4' round habit.
SEASON OF BLOOM: June until frost.
CULTURE: Full sun or partial shade, fertile
soil, moist and well drained in summer and
not soggy in winter. Almost all cultivars
will be hardy if these conditions are
provided.
UTILIZATION: Cutting garden or in borders
where they are effective as singles or in
groups of three or more planted approxi-
mately one foot apart,
PROPAGATION: Seeds, sown in the spring, produce a variety of first class plants, Maintain seeds
at 70-75°F for 10-14 days. Clumps should be divided every other spring. One can also dig
the stolon-like shoots and plant in the fall.
DISEASES AND INSECTS: Leaf spots, stem rots, four -lined plant bug, and leaf miner.
HARDINESS: Zone 5. Shasta daisy is a very durable and ornamental perennial for northern and
southern gardens,
CULTI RS:
'Alask — Large single w lowers with yellow centers, 2' tall.
'Esther R ' — Do a white, 18" tall.
'Little Miss t' — Semi -double, white, dwarf, 14" tall. t
'Majestic' arge; single white flower (4"-5" across) with a small yellow center.
'Mar i' — Double;vhite, up to 6" flowers with frilled petals, long period of bloom, 2' tall.
ADDITIONAL NOTES: Double flowering cultivars perform best in partial shade. Shasta daisy
needs good air circulation and should not be crowded. Luther Burbank is often credited
with the shasta daisy as we know it today. Since his experiments were done near the white
peaks of Mt. Shasta in California, the common name is understandable.

CHIONODOXA 1 CHRYSANTHEMUM
-Iuciliae (loo-sil' cc -aye) Glory -of -the -Snow 4-6"14
Early Spring Blue with white eye Asia Minor Zones 4-9..
This is the best species of the genus. The two linear leaves arise in the spring
followed by three to six wide open flowers on each flower stem. Each intensem•:,..
blue flower is about 1" wide with a large white center. If weather remains coo);
flowers persist for 3-4 weeks. Warm weather accelerates flowering (as in all
spring bulbs) and results in reduced flowering time. `
Bulbs require good drainage and if planted on sides of hills or banks, they.

soon spread to make a spectacular display. They are also at home in the garden
but at least 50, preferably one hundred or more, should be planted together. '.
Cultivars:
var. alba has white flowers on 6" tall stems and var. raua has pink flowers on 8"
high stems. Other than flower color, they arc similar, although not as pretty
as the species.
var. gigantea has large (2" dia.-neter) blue flowers and var. tmolusii produces late
flowering blue and white flowers. These varieties have recently undergone
some taxononvc hair splitting and are now considered distinct species.
Related Species:
C. sardemic, Sardenian glory-of-thc-snow, has 6-8 sky blue flowers which
have no white disc (or very diminutive) at the throat of the flower. Some gar-
deners find that the lack of white center intensifies the flower color, however, I
feel the white of C. Iucilias provides interest as well as beauty. It flowers about
a week earlier than C. luciliae.
x Chionauilla alknii is a natural intergcncric hybrid between C. lucdiae and
Scilla bs lora but is seldom offered in the trade. It is similar in habit to Chionadaxa
but is subject to fungal diseases which attack ScXa.
Propagation is by offsets, small bulbs which form around the older bulbs,
just after flowering. Fresh seed should be sown in seed flats at 65-700F. If seed
dries out, cold moist stratification (35-40°F) for 4-6 weeks provides more
uniform germination.
Chrysanthemum {kris-anth' c-mum) Chrysanthemum Asteraceac
The chrysanthemum is one of the oldest cultivated plants in existence. Chry-
santhemums provide a common bond with the people of China who lived 500
years before the birth of Christ. As happens with plants in cultivation that long,
breeding efforts have changed the natural form and size so that some species
exist in habits (eg. cascading forms, tree forms), colo-s, and flower shapes en-
tirely different from the species. This is particularly true for the decorative C. x
mmfolium (Dendranthemagrandifiora). Although most people think of the fall -
flowering "mum" as the only plant in the genus, �over $100 species„arc recorded,
including many useful garden plants. A number of common wild floweii such
as ox-eye daisy (C. kucanthemum) and Nippon daisy (C. nipponkum), green-

house flowers such as margueritc daisy (C. f 4ttsctm) and commercially grown
cut flowers like the pungent feverfew (C. flarthrnium) arc commonly cultivated.
Species flower in summer and fall and almost every color of flowcr but blue is
available. Several miniatures such as C. atlanticum, with lovely white daisy flow-
ers, and C. hwnamwc, grow less than one foot tall while underuscd annuals
including C. carinatum, rainbow daisy, and C. segerum, corn daisy, offer addi-
tional possibilities. The leaves of all species arc alternate, but may be divided,
lobed, or entire.
Chrysanthemums arc best planted in full sun and need little more than adc-
quate drainage to thrive.

SUBJECT: Criteria for copper, lead, and zinc
t
As we had discussed, presented below are criteria for copper, zinc, and lead which are
derived from formulas Rmsented by the EPA Water Quality Criteria Documents for each of
the respective metals. 'The criteria are hardness dependent, reflective of the potential
increase in toxicity of these metals at lower hardness values. Following those numbers is a
table of values which divides the EPA criteria by two to derive what NC WQ standards (15
NCAC 02B.0202(1)(a))would define as the acute toxicity threshold_
My understanding is that these values will be used to determine appropriate limits in a
stormwater discharge situation where highest potential values will occur during higher
receiving stream flows. As such, appropriate limitations should be based on a short term
maximum potential exposure instmam derived through dilution calculations. It may also be
appropriate to consider far -field effects of potential metals deposition in sediments.
Determination of this fate for lead may be further influenced by the narrative standard
provided by 15 NCAC 02B.021l(L)(viii).
We have not been able to locate any toxicity data on boron. If we can provide any further
clarification of this information, please give us a call at 3-2136.

Dear Mr. Andrews:
On February 10, 1993, the Division of Environmental Management received a NPDES
Notice of Intent (NOI) for coverage under General Wastewater Permit No. NCG510000 for the
subject facility. The General Permit No. NCG510000 is specifically for the discharge of
Remediated Groundwater from projects designed to treat petroleum contaminated groundwater.
The project for which you submitted the NOT is a remediation of Boron contaminated groundwater.
The General Permit does not cover this type of project. Therefore, the Division of Environmental
Management is returning the NOI and your check #6755.
There are no General NPDES Permits for the type of discharge you propose. The only
type of application and permit available for this type of discharge are those for individual
applications and individual NPDES permits
If you have any questions, please contact me at [phone].

BORON
750 mg/L for long -tern irrigation on sensitive crops.
INTRODUCTION:
Boron is not found in its elemental form in nature: it is
usually found as a sodium or calcium borate salt. Boron salts
are used in fire retardants, the production of glass, leather
tanning, and finishing industries, cosmetics, photographic
materials, metallurgy and for high energy rocket fuels.
Elemental boron also can be used in nuclear reactors for neutron
absorption. Borates are used as "burnable" poisons.
Boron is an essential element for growth of plants but there
is no evidence that it is required by animals. The maximum
concentration found in 1,546 samples of river and lake waters
from various parts of the United States was 5.0 mg/L; the mean
value was 0.1 mg/L (Kopp and Kroner, 1967). Ground waters could
contain substantially higher concentrations at certain places.
The concentration in seawater is reported as 4.5•mg/L in the fora
of borate (NAS, 1974). Naturally occurring concentrations of
boron should have no effects on aquatic life.
The minimum lethal dose for minnows exposed to boric acid at
20 oC for 6 hours was reported to be 18,000 to 19,000 mg/L in
distilled water and 19,000 to 19,500 mg/L in hard water (Le Clerc
and Devlaminck, 1955: Le Clerc, 1960).

In the dairy cow, 16 to 20 g/day of boric acid for 40 d
produced no ill effects (McKee and wolf, 1.963).
Sensitive crops have shown toxic effects at 1000 ug/L
less of boron (Richards, 1954). Bradford (1966); in a review
boron deficiencies and toxicities, stated that when the bo
concentration in irrigation waters was greater than 0.75 ug

5. POTENT�AL FOR HUMAN EXPOSURE
5.1 OVERVIEW
Boron is a naturally -occurring element found combined with other
elements throughout the environment. Boron is neither transformed nor
degraded in the environment, although changes in the specific form of boron
and its transport may occur, depending on environmental conditions. It is
estimated that natural weathering is a significant source of environmental
boron.
.Ingestion of boron from food (primarily fruits and vegetables) and water
is the most frequent route of human exposure, but occupational exposures to
boron dusts may be significant. Boron is also a component of several consumer
products, including cosmetics medicines'and insecticides. Populations
residing in areas of the western United States with natural boron -rich
deposits may be exposed to higher -than -average levels of boron.
The EPA has identified 1,177 NPL sites. Boron, borate, and borax have
been found at 21, 1, and 1, respectively, of the sites evaluated for these
chemicals. However, we do not know how many of the 1,177 NPL sites have been
evaluated for the presence.of these chemicals. As more sites are evaluated by
the EPA, these numbers may change (View 1989). The frequency of these sites
within the United States can be seen in Figure 5-1.
5.2 RELEASES TO THE ENVIRONMENT
Borates are widespread, naturally -occurring substance found mainly as an
inorganic compound in sediments and sedimentary rock. It is released to the
environment slowly in low concentrations by weathering processes. Although
few data are available quantifying boron releases from industrial sources, it
is estimated that natural weathering releases more boron to the environment
worldwide than do these industrial sources (Butterwick et al. 1989).
Releases of boron to the environment occur from the production and use
of boron and boron -related compounds. However, neither boron nor boron-
related'compounds are listed on the Section 313 toxic chemical list and,
therefore, are not included in the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI).
5.2.1 Air
Borates are released to air from natural and industrial sources.
Natural sources, include oceans, volcanoes, and geothermal steam (Graedel
1978). Boron compounds are released from anthropogenic sources such as coal-
fired and geothermal steam power plants, chemical plants, and rockets as well
as manufacturing facilities producing fiberglass and other products (EPA
1987c; Graedel 1978; Hollis et al. 1988; Lang et al. 1986; Rope et al. 1988;
Stokinger 1981). No quantitative data regarding boron releases to air were
located.

5. POTENTIAL FOR HUMAN EXPOSURE
5.2.2 Water
Natural weathering of boron -containing rocks is a major source of boron
compounds in water (Butterwick et al. 1989). The quantity of boron released
varies widely with the geographic variations in boron -rich deposits. In the
United States, the area richest in natural boron deposits is the Mojave Desert
in California (Butterwick et Al. 1989; Stokinger 1981).
Boron compounds are released to water in municipal sewage from
perborates in detergents, and'in waste waters from coal -burning power plants,
copper smelters, and industries using boron. Borate levels above background
may be present in runoff waters from areas where boron -containing fertilizers
or herbicides were used (Butterwick et al. 1989; Nolte 1988; Waggott 1969).
An average concentration of 1 mg boron/L was reported in sewage effluents in
California (Butterwick et al. 1989). No other quantitative data regarding
boron releases to water in the. United States were located. However, Waggott
(1969) reported that boron concentrations in municipal sewage in a treatment
plant in England ranged from 2.5 to 6.5 mg/L, releasing between 130 and 240 kg
boron/day.
Boron has been detected in surface water and groundwater at hazardous
waste sites. Data from the Contract Laboratory Program (CLP) Statistical
Database indicate that boron occurred at about 20% of the sites -at a geometric
mean concentration of 156 ppb (0.156 mg boron/L) in positive samples of
groundwater and at about 58 of the sites at a geometric mean of 1,177 ppb
(1.177 mg boron/L) in surface water (CLPSD 1989).
5.2.3 Soil
Boron is naturally released to soil and water by rainfall, weathering of
boron -containing minerals, desorption from clays and by decomposition of
boron -containing organic matter. Man-made sources include application of
boron -containing fertilizers or herbicides, application of fly ash or sewage
sludge as a soil amendment, the use of waste water for irrigation or land
disposal of boron -containing industrial wastes (Butterwick et al. 1989; Hollis
et al. 1988; Mumma et al. 1984; Nolte 1988; Rope et al. 1988).
No quantitative data were located regarding man-made releases of boron
compounds to soil. However, Mumma et al. (1984) reported that the boron
concentration in sewage sludges from 23 U.S. cities ranged from 7.1 to
53.3 mg/kg. Landfilling or land application is a common disposal method for
these sludges.
Data from the CLP Statistical Database indicate boron was detected in
soil at about 5% of hazardous waste sites at a geometric mean concentration
of 8,055 ppm in positive samples (CLPSD 1989). However, earlier data from the
CLPSD (1980-1983) indicate a geometric mean concentration of boron of 21 mg/kg
and a maximum concentration of 320 mg/kg (Eckel and Langley 1988), essentially
equivalent to reported background levels of boron in soil. Clarification of

52 . ,.
5. POTENTIAL FOR HUMAN EXPOSURE
the discrepancy in the data is necessary in order to compare boron levels at
hazardous waste sites to background levels.
5.3 ENVIRONMENTAL FATE
5.3,1 Transport and Partitioning
Boron is a nonvolatile metalloid that occurs in combination with most of
the other elements known (Cotton and Wilkinson 1980). Atmospheric boron may
be in the form of particulate matter or aerosols as borides, boron oxides,
borates, boranes, organoboron compounds, trihalide boron compounds, or
borazines, Borates are relatively soluble in water, and will probably be
removed from the atmosphere by precipitation and dry deposition (EPA 1987c).
The half-life of airborne particles is usually on the order of days, depending
on the size of the particle and atmospheric conditions (Nriagu 1979). No
specific information on the fate of atmospheric boron was located.
Boron readily hydrolyzes in water to form the electrically neutral, weak
monobasic acid H3B03 and the monovalent ion B(OH)y. In concentrated
solutions, boron may polymerize, leading to the formation of complex and
diverse molecular arrangements. Rai et al. (1986) concluded that because most
environmentally relevant boron minerals are highly soluble in water, it is
unlikely that mineral equilibria will control the fate of boron in water.
Waggott (1969), for example, noted that boron is not significantly removed
during the conventional treatment of waste water, Boron may, however, be
co -precipitated with aluminum, silicon, or iron to form hydroxyborate
compounds on the surfaces of minerals (Biggar and Fireman 1960).
Water borne boron may be adsorbed by soils and sediments. Adsorption -
desorption reactions are expected to be the only significant mechanism that
will influence the fate of boron in water (Rai et al. 1986). The extent of
boron adsorption depends on the pH of the water and the chemical composition
of the soil. The greatest adsorption is generally observed at pH 7.5-9,0
(Keren et al. 1981; Keren and Mezuman 1981; Waggott 1969). Bingham et al,
(1971) concluded that the single most important property of soil that will
influence the mobility of boron is the abundance of amorphous aluminum oxide.
The extent of boron adsorption has also been attributed to the levels of iron
oxide (Sakata 1987), and to a lesser extent, the organic matter present in the
soil (Parks and White 1952), although other studies (Mezuman and Keren 1981)
found that the amount of organic matter present was not important,
The adsorption of boron may not be reversible in some soils. The lack
of reversibility may be the result of solid -phase formation on mineral
surfaces (Rai et al, 1986), and/or the slow release of boron by diffusion from
the interior of clay minerals (Griffin and Burau 1974).
Partition coefficients such as adsorption constants describe the
tendency of a chemical to partition from water to solid phases. Adsorption
constants for inorganic constituents such -as a boron cannot be predicted a
priori, but must be measured for each soil -water combination. Compilations of

53
5. POTENTIAL FOR HUMAN EXPOSURE
available data for boron are given elsewhere (Rai et al. 1986). In general,
boron adsorption will be most significant in soils that contain high
concentrations of amorphous aluminum and iron oxides and hydroxides such as
the reddish Ultisols in the southeastern United States.
It is unlikely that boron is bioconcentrated significantly by organisms
from water. A bioconcentration factor (BCF) relates the concentration of a
chemical in the tissues of aquatic and terrestrial animals o'r plants to the
concentration of the chemical in water or soil. The BCFs of boron in marine
and freshwater plants, fish, 4nd invertebrates were estimated to be less than
100 (Thompson et al. 1972). Experimentally measured BCFs for fish have ranged
from 52 to 198 (Tsui and McCart 1981). These BCFs suggest that boron is not
significantly bioconcentrated. Boron in water is completely absorbed by the
human system, but it does not accumulate in body tissues (Waggott 1969). No
other experimentally measured BCFs were located.
5.3.2 Transformation and Degradation
5.3.2.1 Air
There is no information available that suggests that particulate boron
compounds are transformed or degraded in the atmosphere.
5.3.2.2 Water
Elemental boron is inert in the presence of water. Boron compounds
rapidly transform to borates, the naturally occurring form of boron, in the
presence of water. No further degradation is possible. Borate and boric acid
are in equilibrium depending only on the pH of the water. If dissolved in
atmospheric water, the standard borate -boric acid equilibria are established.
5.3.2.3 Soil
Most boron compounds are transformed to borates in soil due to the
presence of moisture. Borates themselves are not further degraded in soil.
However, borates can exist in a variety of forms in soil (see Section 5.2.3).
Borates are removed from soils' by water leaching and by assimilation by
plants.
5.4 LEVELS MONITORED OR ESTIMATED IN THE ENVIRONMENT
5.4.1 Air
There are few studies made to estimate the concentration of boron -
containing compounds in ambient air. This is partly due to difficulties of
analysis at the low levels involved. Bertine and Goldberg (1971) estimated
that approximately 11,600 tons of boron are injected into the atmosphere as a
component of fly ash produced by coal combustion which was estimated to
contain an average of about 75.mg/kg boron.

54
5. POTENTIAL FOR HUMAN EXPOSURE
5.4.2 Water
Boron is widely distributed in surface water and groundwater. Average
surface water concentration in the United States is about 0.1 mg boron/L
(Butterwick et al. 1989; EPA 1986b), but concentrations vary greatly,
depending on boron content of local geologic formations and anthropogenic
sources of boron (Butterwick et.al. 1989). A survey of U.S, surface waters
detected boron in 98% of 1,577 samples at concentrations ranging from 0,001 to
5 mg boron/L. Mean concentrations calculated for the 15 drainage basins in
---the continental United States ranged from 0.019 mg boron/L in the Western
Great Lakes Basin to 0.289 mg boron/L in the Western Gulf Basin (Butterwick
et al. 1989). The concentration of boron in sea water is about 4.5 mg/L
(Butterwick et al. 1989; EPA 1986b).
Several studies have measured boron concentrations in water in those
areas of California with boron -rich deposits. Reported high boron
concentrations in surface waters ranged from 15 mg boron/L in coastal drainage
waters to 360 mg boron/L in a boron -rich lake (Butterwick et al. 1989; Deverel
and Millard 1988). Mean boron concentration in a California river ranged from
0.30 to 0.50 mg boron/L over a 20-year. period (Butterwick et al. 1989).
Reported boron concentrations in groundwater in the San Joaquin Valley ranged
from 0.14 to 120 mg boron/L with a median concentration of about 4 mg boron/L
(Butterwick et al. 1989; Deverel and Millard 1988). Waggott (1969) reports
that groundwater boron concentrations greater than 100 mg/L are common in
California.
Drinking water surveys generally do not -report boron concentration.
However, concentrations of boron in tap water have been reported in a range of
0.007-0.2 mg/L in the United States and England (Choi and Chen 1979; Waggott
1969), and the National Inorganics and Radionuclides Survey completed in 1987
reported relatively widespread occurrence of boron in 989-public water
supplies (NIRS 1987). Boron concentrations ranged from less than 0.005 to
greater than 2 mg/L, with concentrations of up to 0.4 mg/L in 90% of systems
(NIRS 1987). A survey of 969 public water supply systems showed 99% contained
boron at less than 1 mg/L. The maximum level measured was 3.28 mg/L (McCabe
et al. 1970),
5.4.3 Soil
Background boron levels in U.S. soils were reported at a geometric mean
concentration of 26 mg/kg with a maximum concentration of 300 mg/kg (Eckel and
Langley 1988). Boron was detected in soils in Idaho at geometric mean
concentrations of 4.6-9.8 mg/kg (Rope et al. 1988) and in sediments of Puget
Sound (Malins et al. 1984).
Boron is an essential nutrient for plants. Boron soil concentrations
for optimum plant growth reportedly range from 0.1 to 0.5 mg/kg for several
plant species (Butter -wick et al. 1989),

55
5. POTENTIAL FOR HUMAN EXPOSURE
5.4.4 Other Environmental Media
Boron is assimilated by plants from soil and is therefore a natural
constituent of many foods, mainly fruits and vegetables. The amount of boron
absorbed varies considerably among different,plant species (Butterwick et al.
1989). The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has set a tolerance limit of
8 ppm boron for citrus fruit (21 CFR 180.271).
Boron compounds are present in several consumer products. Sodium borate
and boric acid are widely used in cosmetics. Over 600 cosmetic products,
including makeup, skin and hair.care preparations, and shaving creams, contain
these compounds at concentrations of up to 5% (Beyer et al. 1983). These
compounds have also been used in insecticide powders for roach control, in
medicines applied to the skin at concentrations up to 5% (Beyer et al. 1983)
and in some laundry products (Butterwick et al. 1989; Stokinger 1981; Waggott
1969).
5.5 GENERAL POPULATION AND OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE
Human exposure to borates may occur through ingestion of food and water
or insecticides used to control cockroaches, inhalation of boron -containing
powders or dusts, or absorption of boron from cosmetics or medical
preparations through mucous membranes or damaged skin. The most appreciable
boron exposure to the general population is likely to be ingestion of food and
to a lesser extent in water. Estimates of average daily boron ingestion by
humans range from 10 to 25 mg (Beyer et al. 1983; Waggott 1969).
Occupational exposure to boron compounds may be higher. Workers in
industries producing or using boron or boron compounds may be exposed by
inhalation to boron -containing dusts or gaseous boron compounds due to process
upsets or faulty equipment. Dermal absorption of boron may also occur if
damaged skin is in contact with these materials, but this is considered a
minor pathway (Stokinger 1981).
Borate dusts have been monitored in workplace air. Reported
concentrations of borax dust in different- areas of a large borax mining and
refining plant ranged from 1.1 to 14.6 mg/m3 (Garabrant et al, 1985) and the
mean boric acid/boron oxide dust concentration in a boric acid manufacturing
plant was 4.1 mg/m3 (Garabrant et al. 1984). These values indicate that
permissible exposure limits (PELs) set by OSHA, or threshold limit values
(TLVs) recommended by the ACGIH, for boron -containing dusts in workplace air
(Table 7-1) may, at times, be exceeded. Other industries include manufacture
of fiberglass and other glass products, cleaning and laundry products,
fertilizers, pesticides, and cosmetics (U.S. Borax and Chemical Corporation
1991; Stokinger 1981). Median normal values of boron in human blood
(9.76 mg/100 g) and urine samples from these workers (720 Ng boron/L) were
reported (Stokinger 1981). Boron was not detected in a national survey of
human adipose tissue (Stanley 1986), The National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH) estimated that the number of workers potentially
exposed to boron increased from 6,500 in the early 1970s (NO1HS 1989) to 35,600

M
5. POTENTIAL FOR HUMAN EXPOSURE
in the early 1980s (NOES 1989). Neither the NOHS nor the NOES databases
contain information on the frequency, concentration, or duration of exposures
of workers to any of the chemicals listed therein. These surveys provide only
estimates of the number of workers potentially exposed to chemicals in the
workplace. Sittig (1985) reports that NIOSH estimated the number of workers
potentially exposed to borax at 2,490,000, to boron oxide at 21,000, and to
boron trifluoride at 50,000.
5.6 POPULATIONS WITH POTENTIALLY HIGH EXPOSURES
The populations living in areas of California and other western states
with boron -rich geological deposits have potentially high exposure to boron
from drinking water and locally grown foods (Butterwick et al. 1989).
Individuals using boron -containing cosmetics or medicines extensively,
especially on damaged skin, may be exposed to higher -than -normal levels of
boron (Beyer et al. 1983). Infants may be at risk in homes where boric acid
containing roach powder on floor parameters is used to control cockroaches.
Workers in industries producing or using boron -containing materials also
have potentially high exposure as noted above (Section 5.5). People living in
the vicinity of waste sites are also at risk of higher -than -normal exposure
levels.
5.7 ADEQUACY OF THE DATABASE
Section 104(1)(5) of CERCLA, as amended, directs the Administrator of
ATSDR (in consultation with the Administrator of EPA and agencies and programs
of the Public Health Service) to assess whether adequate information on the
health effects of boron is available. Where adequate information is not
available, ATSDR, in conjunction with'the NTP, is required to assure the
initiation of a program of research designed to determine the health effects
(and techniques for developing methods to determine such health effects) of
boron.
The following categories of possible data needs have been identified by
a joint team of scientists from ATSDR, NTP, and EPA. They are defined as
substance -specific informational needs that, if met, would reduce or eliminate
the uncertainties of human health assessment. In the future, the identified
data needs will be evaluated and prioritized, and a substance -specific
research agenda will be proposed.
5.7.1 Data Needs
Physical and Chemical Properties, The solubilities of many boron
minerals are not known precisely, but this lack of detailed information may
not be a major limitation, since it appears unlikely that mineral equilibria
significantly influence the fate of boron in the environment.

57
5. POTENTIAL FOR HUMAN EXPOSURE
Production, Import/Export, Use, and Disposal. The production volume and
uses of boron and boron compounds are well documented (Ferguson et al. 1982;
HSDB 1989; U.S Bureau of Mines 1989). However, data on disposal methods and
volume would allow better estimation of human exposure to boron from this
source.
According to the Emergency Planning and Community Right -to -Know Act of
1986, 42 U.S.C. Section 11023, industries are required to submit chemical
release and off -site transfer information to the EPA. The Toxics Release
Inventory (TRI), which contains this information for 1987, became available in
May of 1989. However, neither boron nor boron -related compounds are currently
listed in the database. This database will be updated yearly and should
provide a list of industrial production facilities and emissions.
Environmental Fate. The only quantifiable mechanism that influences the
fate of boron is soil adsorption (Rai et al. 1986). Additional research with
soils that do not have significant quantities of aluminum and iron oxide may
provide a more comprehensive view of the mobility of boron in the environment.
Bioavailability from Environmental Media. Boron compounds can be
absorbed following inhalation of contaminated workplace air, ingestion of
contaminated food, or through damaged skin (Draize and Kelley 1959; Wong
et al. 1964). The most significant routes of exposure near hazardous waste
sites are likely to be through drinking boron -contaminated water and ingestion
of locally grown food (Beyer et al. 1983; Butterwick et al. 1989; CLPSD 1989).
While exposure can occur by these routes, quantitative data on amounts
absorbed or are bioavailable would be useful in clarifying the toxic potential
of boron in humans.
Food Chain Bioaccumulation.' Only one study was located where boron
bioconcentration was actually measured (Tsui and McCart 1981). Future
research may be helpful, but it appears that boron is not significantly
bioconcentrated. There are no data on the biomagnification of boron in the
food -chain, but it is not likely that bioaccumulation'is a major environmental
concern.
Exposure Levels in Environmental Media. Data on boron levels in surface
water and soil are extensive (Butterwick et al. 1989; Eckel and Langley 1988;
EPA 1986b), but additional data on air, food, and drinking water
concentrations of boron would be useful in increasing the accuracy of human
exposure estimates.
Exposure Levels in Humans, 'Normal levels of boron in human blood and
urine have been reported (Stokinger 1981). Additional data on blood and/or
urine concentrations in individuals with potentially high exposure to boron
would be useful in assessing the'magnitude of human exposure.

;6. ANALYTICAL 4THODS
The purpose of this chapter is to desc ibe the analytical methods that
are available for detecting and/or measuri and monitoring boron in
environmental media and in biological sampls. The intent is not to provide
an exhaustive list of analytical methods thit could be used to detect and
quantify boron. Rather, the'intention is r identify well -established methods
that are used as the standard methods of a lysis. Many of the analytical
methods used to detect boron! in environmen 1 samples are the methods approved
by federal agencies such as EPA and the Na-ional Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH), Other methods resented in this chapter are those
that are approved by groups such as the A ociation of Official Analytical
Chemists (AOAC) and the American Public H lth Association (APHA).
Additionally, analytical methods are incl ed that refine previously used
methods to obtain lower detection limits, and/or to improve accuracy and
precision.
6.1 BIOLOGICAL MATERIALS
Methods for the determination of boron in samples of toxicological
interest have been summarized (Stokinger 1981; Van Ormer 1975). Usually total
boron is determined, although in limited cases specific boron species can be
determined as well. Boron is very poorly measured by atomic absorption
analysis. High -temperature atomic spectrometric methods, especially
inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry, including atomic
emission spectrography, work well for boron. Colorimetry and prompt neutron
activation analysis can also be used.
Methods for the determination of boron in biological materials are
summarized in Table 6-1.
Normally, for determination in biological samples, the sample is
digested or ashed, and the boron is measured by atomic spectrometric
determination.
6.2 ENVIRONMENTAL SAMPLES
Methods for the determination of boron in environmental samples are
summarized in Table 6-2. 1
Boron is readily measured in multielement analyses of air, water, and
solid waste samples by inductively coupled plasma (ICP) atomic emission
spectroscopy, the method of choice for the determination of boron in modern
practice.I Although not multielement procedures, colorimetric cucumin and
colorimetric carmine methods are still reliable methods for the determination
of boron in water, air and solid waste samples. These colorimetric procedures
provide adequate methods when ICP instrumentation is not available.

WA I (_t{
Water- ..Quafi. -�i-'Standards _ Section,_: has _updated .-the
Substance Spreadsheet" to provide a comprehensive
published criteria guidance values for toxic
Section 304(a) of the Clean Water Act (CWA).' The
contains other related, applicable material.
FEB 0 ? IM
Due t-- the number of criteria revisions since the October 1991
Toxic Substance Spreadsheet and the recent signing of the National
Toxics Rule, we are updating only the 'criteria" version of the
spreadsheet at' this time. However, we intend to update the
"screening" chart version of the spreadsheet within the next six
months. -�
One' significant change in this revision was removal of criteria
values based on organoleptic effects. This is now reflected in the
spreadsheet dueto the listing of criteria in the National Toxics
Rule based only on an endpoint of toxicity (or carcinogenicity).
Since the criteria based on organoleptic effects were established='
only on adverse taste and odor effects for drinking water, EPA has ...:
determined that organoleptic based criteria are not required for
adoption by states as water quality standards.
This condensed table holds current listings of all EPA published
criteria, with adjusted criteria for human health based on revised
reference dose factors (RfDs) and cancer potency factors (ql*)
posted in IRIS (EPA's Integrated Risk Information System).
This update includes RfD values for several pollutants which have
been classified as carcinogens, These RfDs were not used to
calculate criteria values (since criteria based on carcinogenicity
are more stringent), and are included for informational purposes
only.
Description of Table Columns:
Date Revised Colum - This column indicates the most recent
date a revision was made for a pollutant in the spreadsheet.
EPA Detection Level - Generally two methods are listed, both
of which are found in 40 CFR 136.
Pronged or -::er

Human Health Criteria - Human Health Criteria are given for
(1) the combined exposure from consumption of contaminated water,
fish, and shellfish; and (2) exposure from consumption of
contaminated fish and shellfish only. For carcinogens, the
criteria are given at a risk level of 10-6.
Bioconcentration Factor - All BCF values printed and used. in
the Human Health Criteria calculations are from the 1980 Ambient
Water Quality Criteria Documents. The reported BCFs are
.:.:.normalized" to..3 %....1ipid ..content .
EPA Fish Tissue Concentrations - These fish and shellfish
tissue values are used along with the BCF factors listed in the
previous column to calculate the EPA Human Health Water Quality
"Organisms Only" Criteria. These concentrations can aid in
evaluating health risks associated with contaminated fish tissue.
These values are based on the same exposure calculations outlined
in EPA's criteria documents for consumption of aquatic organisms.
Criteria Dates - contains the date of the applicable EPA
criteria document and if appropriate the date of the most recent,
RfD, ql*, or MCL used to adjust the criteria document values.
Summary of Changes:
The following summarizes the December 1992 changes for Region IV's
Toxic Substance Spreadsheet:
Beryllium - no longer considered human carcinogen, RfD 0.005 added
12/85, Human Health Criteria removed by Toxics Rule. (EPA is
re-evaluating the evidence that correlates ingestion with
tumor appearance.)
Cadmium - Human Health Criteria removed by Toxics Rule. (EPA is re-
evaluating the toxicity of cadmium from exposure to water in
terms of bioconcentration potential.)
Chromium(III) - Human Health Criteria removed by Toxics. Rule (EPA
determined that the proposed criteria were not scientifically
defensible.)
Chromium(VI) - Human Health Criteria removed by Toxics Rule. (EPA
determined that the proposed criteria were not scientifically
defensible.)
Copper - Human Health Water & Organisms Criteria of 1300 µg/1
published in Final National Toxics Rule. (Previous Criteria
based on organcleptic effects.)
Lead - Saltwater CMC changed from 140 µg/l to 220 µg/l, Saltwater
CCC changed from 5.6 µg/l to 8.5 µg/l, Human Health Criteria
removed by Toxics rule. (Previous MCL was replaced with an
"Action Level" and no RfD or q,* are available for lead.)

i
'Selenium - Human Health criteria removed by Toxics Rule, RfD 0.005
added 3/91. (EPA is re-evaluating the human health assessment

5. POTENT'IAL FOR HUMAN EXPOSURE
5.1 OVERVIEW
Boron is a naturally -occurring element found combined with other
elements throughout the environment. Boron is neither transformed nor
degraded in the environment, although changes in the specific form of boron
and its transport may occur, depending on environmental conditions. It is
estimated that natural weathering is a significant source of environmental
boron.
Ingestion of boron from food (primarily fruits and vegetables) and water
is the most frequent route of human exposure, but occupational exposures to
boron dusts may be significant. Boron is also a component of several consumer
products, including cosmetics medicines and insecticides. Populations
residing in areas of the western United States with natural boron -rich
deposits may be exposed to higher -than -average levels of boron.
The EPA has identified 1,177 NPL sites. Boron, borate, and borax have
been found at 21, 1, and 1, respectively, of the sites evaluated for these
chemicals. However,' we do not know how many of the 1,177 NPL sites have been
evaluated for the presence,of these chemicals. As more sites are evaluated by
the EPA, these numbers may change (View 1989). The frequency of these sites
within the United States can be seen in Figure 5-1.
5.2 RELEASES TO THE ENVIRONMENT
Borates are widespread, naturally -occurring substance found mainly as an
inorganic compound in sediments and sedimentary rock. It is released to the
environment slowly in low concentrations by weathering processes. Although
few data are available quantifying boron releases from industrial sources, it
is estimated that natural weathering releases more boron to the environment
worldwide than do these industrial sources'(Butterwick et al. 1989).
Releases of boron to the environment occur from the production and use
of boron and boron -related compounds. However, neither boron nor boron -
related -compounds are listed on the Section 313 toxic chemical list and,
therefore, are not included in the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI).
5.2.1 Air
Borates are released to air from natural and industrial sources.
Natural sources include oceans, volcanoes, and geothermal steam (Graedel
1978). Boron compounds are released from anthropogenic sources such as coal-
fired and geothermal steam power plants, chemical plants, and rockets as well
as manufacturing facilities producing fiberglass and other products (EPA
1987c; Graedel 1978; Hollis et al. 1988; Lang et al. 1986; Rope et al. 1988;
Stokinger 1981). No quantitative data regarding boron releases to air were
located.

5. POTENTIAL FOR HUMAN EXPOSURE
5.2.2 Water
Natural weathering of boron -containing rocks is a major source of boron
compounds in water (Butterwick et al. 1989). The quantity of boron released
varies widely with the geographic variations in boron -rich deposits. In the
United States, the area richest in natural boron deposits is the Mojave Desert
in California (Butterwick et al. 1989; Stokinger 1981).
Boron compounds are released to water in municipal sewage from
perborates in detergents, and in waste waters from coal -burning power plants,
copper smelters, and industries using boron. Borate levels above background
may be present in runoff waters from areas where boron -containing fertilizers
or herbicides were used (Butterwick et al. 1989; Nolte 1988; Waggott 1969).
An average concentration of 1�mg boron/L was reported in sewage effluents in
California (Butterwick et al. 1989). No other quantitative data regarding
boron releases to water in the United States were located. however, Waggott
(1969) reported that boron concentrations in municipal sewage in a treatment
plant in England ranged from 2.5 to 6.5 mg/L, releasing between 130 and 240 kg
boron/day.
Boron has been detected ;in surface water and groundwater at hazardous
waste sites. Data from the Contract Laboratory Program (CLP) Statistical
Database indicate that boron occurred at about 20% of the sites at a geometric
mean concentration of 156 ppb�(0.156 mg boron/L) in positive samples of
groundwater and at about 5% of the sites at a geometric mean of 1,177 ppb
(1.177 mg baron/L) in surface water (CLPSD 1989).
5.2.3 Soil
Boron is naturally released to soil and water by rainfall, weathering of
boron -containing minerals, desorption from clays and by decomposition of
boron -containing organic matter. Man-made sources include application of
boron -containing fertilizers or herbicides, application of fly ash or sewage
sludge as a soil amendment, the use of waste water for irrigation or land
disposal of boron -containing industrial wastes (Butterwick et al, 1989; Hollis
et al. 1988; Mumma et al. 1984; Nolte 1988; Rope et al. 1988).
No quantitative data were located regarding man-made releases of boron
compounds to soil. However, Mumma et al. (1984) reported that the boron
concentration in sewage sludges from 23 U.S. cities ranged from 7.1 to
53.3 mg/kg. Landfilling or land application is a common disposal method for
these sludges.
Data from the CLP Statistical Database indicate boron was detected in
soil at about 5% of hazardous waste sites at a geometric mean concentration
of 8,055 ppm in positive samples (CLPSD 1989). However, earlier data from the
CLPSD (1980-1983) indicate a geometric mean concentration of boron of 21 mg/kg
and a maximum concentration of 320 mg/kg (Eckel and Langley 1988), essentially
equivalent to reported background levels of boron in soil. Clarification of

52
5. POTENTIAL FOR HUMAN EXPOSURE
the discrepancy in the data is necessary in order to compare boron levels at
hazardous waste sites to background levels.
5.1 ENVIRONMENTAL FATE
5.3.1 Transport and Partitioning
Boron is a nonvolatile metalloid that occurs in combination with most of
the other elements known (Cotton and Wilkinson 1980). Atmospheric boron may
be in the form of particulate matter or aerosols as borides, boron oxides,
borates, boranes, organoboron compounds,- trihalide boron compounds, or
borazines. Borates are relatively soluble in water, and will probably be
removed from the atmosphere by precipitation and dry deposition (EPA 1987c).
The half-life of airborne particles is usually on the order of days, depending
on the size of the particle and atmospheric conditions (Nriagu 1979). No
specific information on the fate of atmospheric boron was located.
Boron readily hydrolyzes in water to form the electrically neutral, weak
monobasic acid H3B03 and the monovalent ion B(OH)a. In concentrated
solutions, boron may polymerize, leading to the formation of complex and
diverse molecular arrangements. Rai et al. (1986) concluded that because most
environmentally relevant boron minerals are highly soluble in water, it is
unlikely that mineral equilibria will control the fate of boron in water.
Waggott (1969), for example, noted that boron is not significantly removed
during the conventional treatment of waste water. Boron may, however, be
co -precipitated with aluminum, silicon, or iron to form hydroxyborate
compounds on the surfaces of minerals (Biggar and Fireman 1960).
Water borne boron may be adsorbed by soils and sediments. Adsorption -
desorption reactions are expected to be the only significant mechanism that
will influence the fate of boron in water (Rai et al. 1986). The extent of
boron adsorption depends on the pH of the water and the chemical composition
of the soil. The greatest adsorption is generally observed at pH 7.5-9.0
(Keren et al. 1981; Keren and Mezuman 1981; Waggott 1969). Bingham et al.
(1971) concluded that the single most important property'of soil that will
influence the mobility of boron is the abundance of amorphous aluminum oxide.
The extent of boron adsorption has also been attributed to the levels of iron
oxide (Sakata 1987), and to a lesser extent, the organic matter present in the
soil (Parks and White 1952), although other studies (Mezuman and Keren 1981)
found that the amount of organic matter present was not important.
The adsorption of boron may not be reversible in some soils. The lack
of reversibility may be the result of solid -phase formation on mineral
surfaces (Rai et al. 1986), and/or the slow release of boron by diffusion from
the interior of clay minerals (Griffin and Burau 1974).
Partition coefficients such as adsorption constants describe the
tendency of a chemical to partition from water to solid phases. Adsorption
constants for inorganic constituents such•as a boron cannot be predicted a
priori, but must be measured for each soil -water combination. Compilations of

I
53
5. POTENTIAL FOR HUMAN EXPOSURE
available data for boron are given elsewhere (Rai et al. 1986). In general,
boron adsorption will be most significant in soils that contain high
concentrations of amorphous aluminum and iron oxides and hydroxides such as
the reddish Ultisols in the southeastern United States.
It is unlikely that boron is bioconcentrated significantly by organisms
from water. A bioconcentration factor (BCF) relates the concentration of a
chemical in the tissues of aquatic and terrestrial animals or plants to the
concentration of the chemical in water or soil. The BCFs of boron in marine
and freshwater plants, fish „ 4nd invertebrates were estimated to be less than
100 (Thompson et al. 1972). Experimentally measured BCFs for fish have ranged
from 52 to 198 (Tsui and McCart 1981). These BCFs suggest that boron is not
significantly bioconcentrated. Boron in water is completely absorbed by the
human system, but it does not accumulate in body tissues (Waggott 1969). No
other experimentally measured BCFs were located.
5.3.2 Transformation and Degradation
5.3.2.1 Air
There is no information available that suggests that particulate boron
compounds are transformed or degraded in the atmosphere,
5.3.2.2 Water
Elemental boron is inert in the presence of water. Boron compounds
rapidly transform to borates,' the naturally occurring form of boron, in the
presence of water. .No further degradation is possible. Borate and boric acid
are in equilibrium depending only on the pH.of the water. If dissolved in
atmospheric water, the standard borate -boric acid equilibria are established.
5.3.2.3 Soil
Most boron compounds are transformed to borates in soil due to the
presence of moisture. Borates themselves are not further degraded in soil.
However, borates can exist in a variety of forms in soil (see Section 5.2.3).
Borates are removed from soils by water leaching and by assimilation by
plants.
5.4 LEVELS MONITORED OR ESTIMATED IN THE ENVIRONMENT
5.4.1 Air
There are few studies made to estimate the concentration of boron -
containing compounds in ambient air. This is partly due to difficulties of
analysis at the low levels involved. Bertine and Goldberg (1971) estimated
that approximately 11,600 tons of boron are injected into the atmosphere as a
component of fly ash produced by coal combustion which was estimated to
contain an average of about 75 mg/kg boron.

54
5. POTENTIAL FOR HUMAN EXPOSURE
5.4.2 Water
Boron is widely distributed in surface water and groundwater. Average
surface water concentration in the United States is about 0.1 mg baron/L
(Butterwick et al. 1989; EPA 1986b), but concentrations vary greatly,
depending on boron content of local geologic formations and anthropogenic
sources of boron (Butterwick et al. 1989). A survey of U.S. surface waters
detected boron in 98% of 1,577 samples at concentrations ranging from 0.001 to
5 mg boron/L. Mean concentrations calculated for the 15 drainage basins in
--the continental United States ranged from 0.019 mg boron/L in the Western
Great Lakes Basin to 0.289 mg boron/L in the Western Gulf Basin (Butterwick
et al. 1989). The concentration of boron in sea water is about 4.5 mg/L
(Butterwick et al. 1989; EPA 1986b).
Several studies have measured boron concentrations in water in those
areas of California with boron -rich deposits. -Reported high boron
concentrations in surface waters ranged from 15 mg baron/L in coastal drainage
waters to 360 mg boron/L in a boron -rich lake (Butterwick et al. 1989; Deverel
and Millard 1988). Mean boron concentration in a California river ranged from
0.30 to 0.50 mg boron/L over a 20-year period (Butterwick et al. 1989).
Reported boron concentrations in groundwater in the San Joaquin Valley ranged
from 0.14 to 120 mg boron/L with a median concentration of about 4 mg boron/L
(Butterwick et al. 1989; Deverel and Millard 1988). -Waggott (1969) reports
that groundwater boron concentrations greater than 100 mg/L are common in
California.
Drinking water surveys generally do not report boron concentration.
However, concentrations of boron in tap water have been reported in a range of
0.007-0.2 mg/L in the United States and England (Choi and Chen 1979; Waggott
1969), and the National Inorganics and Radionuclides Survey completed in 1987
reported relatively widespread occurrence of boron in 989 public water
supplies (NIRS 1987). Boron concentrations ranged from less than 0.005 to
greater than 2 mg/L, with concentrations of up to 0.4 mg/L in 90% of systems
(NIRS 1987). A survey of 969 public water supply systems showed 99% contained
boron at less than 1 mg/L. The maximum level measured was 3.28 mg/L (McCabe
et al. 1970).
5.4.3 Soil
Background boron levels in U.S. soils were reported at a geometric mean
concentration of 26 mg/kg with a maximum concentration of 300 mg/kg (Eckel and
Langley 1988). Boron was detected in soils in Idaho at geometric mean
concentrations of 4.6-9.8 mg/kg (Rope et al. 1988) and in sediments of Puget
Sound (Malins et al. 1984).
Boron is an essential nutrient for plants. Boron soil concentrations
for optimum plant growth reportedly range from 0.1 to 0.5 mg/kg for several
plant species (Butterwick et al. 1989).

55
5. POTENTIAL FOR HUKAN EXPOSURE
5.4.4 Other Environmental Media
Boron is assimilated by plants from soil and is therefore a natural
constituent of many foods, mainly fruits and vegetables. The amount of boron
absorbed varies considerably among different plant species (Butterwick et al,
1989). The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has set a tolerance limit of
8 ppm boron for citrus fruit (21 CFR 180.271).
Boron compounds are present in several consumer products. Sodium borate
and boric acid are widely used in cosmetics. Over 600 cosmetic products,
including makeup, skin and hair care preparations, and shaving creams, contain
these compounds at concentrations of up to 5% (Beyer et al, 1983). These
compounds have also been used in insecticide powders for roach control, in
medicines applied to the skin at concentrations up to 5% (Beyer et al. 1983)
and in some laundry products (Butterwick et al. 1989; Stokinger 1981; Waggott
1969).
5.5 GENERAL POPULATION AND OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE
Human exposure to borates may occur through ingestion of food and water
or insecticides used to control' cockroaches, inhalation of boron -containing
powders or dusts, or absorption of boron from cosmetics or medical
preparations through mucous membranes or damaged skin. The most appreciable
boron exposure to the general population is likely to be ingestion of food and
to a lesser extent in water. Estimates of average daily boron ingestion by
humans range from 10 to 25 mg (Beyer et al, 1983; Waggott 1969).
Occupational exposure to boron compounds may be higher. Workers in
industries producing or using boron or boron compounds may be exposed by
inhalation to boron -containing dusts or gaseous boron compounds due to process
upsets or faulty equipment. Dermal absorption of boron may also occur if
damaged skin is in contact with`these materials, but this is considered a
minor pathway (Stokinger 1981).
Borate dusts have been monitored in workplace air. Reported
concentrations of borax dust in different areas of a large borax mining and
refining plant ranged from 1.1 to 14.6 mg/m3 (Garabrant et al. 1985) and the
mean boric acid/boron oxide dust concentration in a boric acid manufacturing
plant was 4.1 mg/m3 (Garabrant et al. 1984). These values indicate that
permissible exposure limits (PELs) set by OSHA, or threshold limit values
(TLVs) recommended by the ACCIH, for Moron -containing dusts in workplace air
(Table 7-1) may, at times, be exceeded. Other industries include manufacture
of fiberglass and other glass products, cleaning and laundry products,
fertilizers, pesticides, and cosmetics (U.S. Borax and Chemical Corporation
1991; Stokinger 1981). Median normal values of boron in human blood
(9.76 µg/100 g) and urine samples from these workers (720 µg boron/L) were
reported (Stokinger 1981). Boron was not detected in a national survey of
human adipose tissue (Stanley 1986). The National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH) estimated that the number of workers potentially
exposed to boron increased from'6,500 in the early 1970s (NOHS 1989) to 35,600

56
5. POTENTIAL FOR HUMAN EXPOSURE
in the early 1980s (NOES 1989). Neither the NOHS nor the NOES databases
contain information on the frequency, concentration, or duration of exposures
of workers to any of the chemicals listed -therein. These surveys provide only
estimates of the number of workers potentially exposed to chemicals in the
workplace. Sittig (1985) reports that NIOSH estimated the number of workers
potentially exposed to borax at 2,490,000, to boron oxide at 21,000, and to
boron trifluoride at 50,000.
5.6 POPULATIONS WITH POTENTIALLY HIGH EXPOSURES
The populations living in areas of California and other western states
with boron -rich geological deposits have potentially high exposure to boron
from drinking water and locally grown foods (Butterwick et al. 1989).
Individuals using boron -containing cosmetics or medicines extensively,
especially on damaged skin, may be exposed to higher -than -normal levels of
boron (Beyer et al. 1983). Infants may be at risk.in homes where boric acid
containing roach powder on floor parameters is used to control cockroaches.
Workers in industries producing or using boron -containing materials also
have potentially high exposure as noted above (Section 5.5). People living in
the vicinity of waste sites are also at risk of higher -than -normal exposure
levels.
5.7 ADEQUACY OF THE DATABASE
Section 104(1)(5) of CERCLA, as amended, directs the Administrator,of
ATSDR (in consultation with the Administrator of EPA and agencies and programs
s of the Public Health Service) to assess whether adequate information on the
health effects of boron is available. Where adequate information is not
available, ATSDR, in conjunction with the NTP, is required to assure the
initiation of a program of research designed to determine the health effects
(and -techniques for developing methods to determine such health effects) of
boron.
The following categories of possible data needs have been identified by
a joint team of scientists from ATSDR, NTP, and EPA. They are defined as
substance -specific informational needs that, if met, would reduce or eliminate
the -uncertainties of human health assessment. In the future, the identified
data needs will be evaluated and prioritized, and a substance -specific
research agenda will be proposed.
5.7.1 Data Needs
Physical and Chemical Properties. The solubilities of many boron
minerals are not known precisely, but this lack of detailed information may
not be a major limitation, since it appears unlikely that mineral equilibria
significantly influence the fate of boron in the environment.

57
5. POTENTIAL FOR HUMAN EXPOSURE
Production, Import/Export, Vse, and Disposal. The production volume and
uses of boron and boron compounds are well documented (Ferguson et al. 1982;
HSDB 1989; U.S Bureau of Mines 1989). However, data on disposal methods and
volume would allow better estimation of human exposure to boron from this

According to the Emergency Planning and Community Right -to -Know Act of
1986, 42 U.S.C. Section 11023, industries are required to submit chemical
release and off -site transfer information to the EPA. The Toxics Release
Inventory (TRI), which contains this information for 1987, became available in
May of 1989. However, neither boron nor boron -related compounds are currently
listed in the database. This database will be updated yearly and should
provide a list of industrial production facilities and emissions.
Environmental Fate. The only quantifiable mechanism that influences the
fate of boron is soil adsorption (Rai et al. 1986). Additional research with
soils that do not have significant quantities of aluminum and iron oxide may
provide a more comprehensive view of the mobility of boron in the environment.
Bioavailability from Environmental Media. Boron compounds can be
absorbed following inhalation of contaminated workplace air, ingestion of
contaminated food, br through damaged skin (Draize and Kelley 1959; Wong
et al. 1964). The most significant routes of exposure near hazardous waste
sites are likely to be through drinking boron -contaminated water and ingestion
of locally grown food (Beyer et'al. 1983; Butterwick et al. 1989; CLPSD 1989).
While exposure can occur by these routes, quantitative data on amounts
absorbed or are bioavailable would be useful in clarifying the toxic potential
of boron in humans.
Food Chain Bioaccumulation. Only one study was located where boron
bioconcentration was actually measured (Tsui and McCart 1961). Future
research may be helpful, but it appears that boron is not significantly
bioconcentrated, There are no data on the biomagnification of boron in the
food chain, but it is not likely that bioaccumulation Is a major environmental
concern.
Exposure Levels in Environmental Media. Data on boron levels in surface
water and soil are extensive (Butterwick et al. 1989; Eckel and Langley 1988;
EPA 1986b), but additional data on air, food, and drinking water
concentrations of boron would be useful in increasing the accuracy of human
exposure estimates.
Exposure Levels in Humans. Normal levels of boron in human blood and
urine have been reported (Stokinger 1981). Additional data on blood and/or
urine concentrations in individuals with potentially high exposure to boron
would be useful in assessing the magnitude of human exposure.
I
Exposure Registries. No exposure registries for boron were located.
This compound, is not currently one of the compounds for which a subregistry
has been established in the National Exposure Registry. The compound will be

considered in the future when chemical selection is made for subregistries to
be established. The information that is amassed in the National Exposure
Registry facilitates the epidemiological research needed to assess adverse
health outcomes that may be related to the exposure to this compound.
5.7.2 On -going Studies
No information was located on any on -going studies on the fate,
transport, or potential for human exposure for boron.

6. ANALYTICAL
The purpose of this chapter is to descibe the analytical methods that
are available for detecting and/or measuriN and monitoring boron in
environmental media and in biological sampes. The intent. is not to provide,
an exhaustive list of analytical methods t1it could be used to detect and
quantify boron. Rather, the intention is identify well -established methods
that are used as the standard methods of a lysis. Many of the analytical
methods used to detect boron in environmen 1 samples are. the methods approved
by federal agencies such as 'EPA and the Na'ional Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH). Other methods resented in this chapter are those
that are approved by groups ,such as the A ociation of Official Analytical
Chemists (AOAC) and the American Public H lth Association (APHA).
Additionally, analytical methods are incl;ed that refine previously used
methods to obtain lower detection limits, 'and/or to improve accuracy and
precision. ?
6.1 BIOLOGICAL MATERIALS
Methods for the determination of boron in samples of toxicological
interest have been summarized (Stokinger 1981; Van Ormer 1975). Usually total
boron is determined, although in limited dases specific boron species can be
determined as well. Boron is very poorly measured by atomic absorption
analysis. High -temperature atomic spectrometric methods, especially
inductively coupled plasma at emission spectrometry, including atomic
emission spectrography, work well for boron. Colorimetry and prompt neutron
activation analysis can also be used.
Methods for the determination of boron in biological materials are
summarized in Table 6-1.
Normally, for determination in biological samples, the sample is
digested or asked, and the boron is measured by atomic spectrometric
determination.
6.2 ENVIRONMENTAL SAMPLES
Methods for the determination of boron in environmental samples are
summarized in Table 6-2.
Boron is readily measured in multielement analyses of air, water, and
solid waste samples by inductively coupled plasma (ICP) atomic emission
spectroscopy, the method of choice for the determination of boron in modern
practice. Although not multielement procedures, colorimetric cucumin and
colorimetric carmine methods are still reliable methods for the determination
of boron in water, air and solid waste samples. These colorimetric procedures
provide adequate methods when ICP instrumentation is not available.

The following is a brief update on the status of Division of Environmental Management
activities at the subject facility.
AIR QUALITY
The Fayetteville Regional Office's monitoring group has, since June 12, 1992, collected
approximately 140 TSP (Total Suspended Particulate) samples near the IAC site in the Buie
community. These samples were taken at three (3) locations --one south, one east, and another
west of the IAC plant.
Presently, we have laboratory results from the DEM laboratory for approximately 75
samples. The others are waiting to be analyzed. The results of the analysis received to date
indicates no measured exceedances of the TSP Ambient Air Standard.

We will continue our Air Quality study at Buie through IAC's spring busy season.
The Fayetteville Regional Office's staff inspected IAC recently and observed that their
bag filters, duct work, and other emission control devices appeared to be properly maintained
and operated. No visible emissions were observed from the process that was operating. There
appeared to be a great improvement in housekeeping and maintenance.
WAT—ER!QIIALITY SECTIO
On September 3, 1992, Mr. Tommy Stevens of the Fayetteville Regional office
accompanied by Ms. Coleen Sullins, Mr. Bill Mills and Ms. Carol Sanderson, visited the site
as a part of the storm water permit evaluation. At the time of the visit, the Division was
awaiting the receipt of storm water sample data from IAC in order to complete the storm water
application requirements. In a follow up telephone conversation with Mr. Andrews of IAC on
October 12, 1992, he stated that the storm water samples were collected on October 4, 1992 and
he was awaiting receipt of the results. After the receipt of this data, appropriate limits will be
established for inclusion in the NPDES Stormwater Discharge Permit.
GROUNDWATER SECTION
The initial site assessment report for the IAC site was received on May 14, 1992.
After discussions between IAC, their consultant and Fayetteville Regional Office
personnel, a schedule for additional site assessment was received on August 4, 1992.
Additional monitor wells have been installed and samples have been collected, but the
laboratory analyses have not yet been received. The report of the additional assessment is to
be prepared and presented to the Fayetteville Regional Office before the end of October. Once
delineation of the Boron plume has been established, a determination will be made as to what
type of remediation system is appropriate.
A health risk standard for boron in water has been requested from the Raleigh Central
Office and the Office of Epidemiology by the Fayetteville Regional Office.

Dear Mr. Andrews:
Our office received the lab analysis on February 13, 1992 for the
sampling that was conducted by Mr. Tommy Stevens during his inspection of your
facility with Mr. Thomas E. Plouff, Region IV, EPA. The results of these
samples show no significant changes when compared to the previous data
collected on November 27, 1991.
At the time of the January 22, 1992 inspection, it was noted that the
sulfur pile had been relocated to an enclosed area on the site, thus
eliminating the potential for surface runoff of this material.
On the date of this inspection, the Fayetteville Regional Office received
a complaint of odor and visual emissions from the site. During the
inspection, however, (2:30-3:15 p.m. on January 22, 1992) no odors or
emissions were observed at the site.
A letter has been drafted by Me. Coleen Sullins, Coordinator for the
Storm Water Program regarding some additional sample data that will be needed
to complete the storm water permit application. Upon receipt of this
additional data, the Division will prepare a draft storm water permit for your
review and public notice.

Dear Ms.. Collins:
I appreciate the concerns about Industrial & Agricultural Chemicals, In,G,.
that your group expressed at the May 20, 1991 meeting of the Robeson County
commissioners. As I stated at the meeting, our office is committed to
conducting additional monitoring at the facility to better address the group's
concerns.
As of Tuesday, May 21, 1991, our water quality staff has initiated
additional sampling of the drainage ditch, and adjacent surface waters. In
addition, we propose to collect sediment samples and consider further
parameters that may prove useful in evaluating the effect surface runoff from
the site may be having on Burnt Swamp. Sample data will not be available to
our office for three (3) to four (4) weeks after the collection of, samples and
upon the receipt of all sampling data, we will be glad to provide you with our
findings.
We have also made arrangements to conduct a well survey to be coordinated
with the Robeson County Health Department. This survey will include well
water sampling by either the Health Department or ourselves depending on
whether or not the residence is connected to the Robeson County water system.
When these results have been compiled, we will forward the findings to you.
It is likely that these analytical results will also take two (2) to four (4)
weeks.
There was a'question raised by your group on Monday night about the final
disposition of the soil that was removed from the demolition of a building
during February 1990. Based on our files and a discussion with Mr. Andrews,

SUBJECT: Groundwater Monitoring
Industrial & Agricultural Chemicals,
Inc.
Buie, Robeson County
Dear Mr. Andrews:
Groundwater sampling of residential wells in the vicinity of Industrial &
Agricultural Chemicals, Inc. (IAC) indicated that only one well (Mr. Rennert
Cummings) had a boron level of any significance. It is our understanding that
Mr. Cummings now has service provided by the Robeson County water system and
it is no longer necessary for him to use his well for drinking water. Other
parameters that were monitored in the surrounding residential wells did not
indicate any problem.
The IAC well analysis indicates a boron level of 7.7 mg/l. Since the
residential wells (except for Mr. Cummings) showed boron levels less than 0.25
mg/l, this indicates that some past or on -going activity at your facility has
caused boron levels to increase above background.
At this time no numerical standard exists for boron and we are attempting
to determine whether or not there is an acceptable alternative level for boron
other than the initial interim level of 0.6 mg/l established by the
Environmental Epidemiology Branch. Any additional information you or your
consultant has available concerning what constitutes an acceptable level of
boron. for drinking water purposes must be submitted for consideration on or
before November 25, 1991.
Additionally, you are requested to submit to this office on or before
November 25, 1991 a plan of study for determining the cause and extent of the
elevated -boron level.

NON -DISCHARGE PERMIT APPLICATION

Industrial and Agricultural Chemicals, Inc.., washes to construct
an Aluminum Sulfate plant at its current location. The process
involves reacting Sulfuric Acid with Bauxite. After the reaction
is complete, the resultant mixture of Aluminum Sulfate solution
and Sulfuric Acid insoluble compounds (consisting almost chiefly
of sand) is pumped to a settling tank. The sand settles to the
bottom of the tank and the Aluminum Sulfate is pumped off. The
sand is then washed twice to remove residual Aluminum Sulfate.
This wash water is used for dilution water in the Aluminum Sulfate
process and is therefore recycled. After the washing process is com-
plete and the pH of the resulting sand is above 2, the sand is
pumped to a retention pond to dry. The retention pond would be a
bowl -shaped retention pond lined with agricultural lime. This
pond could possibly be lined with Bentonite if that is required.
The resultant sand would be disposed of at the county landfill or
some other site as required.
This waste material is not a hazardous waste. One typical analysis
is attached.
