Page 3 of 3 SWU-224-101701 BonaKemi USA, Inc. Stormwater Management Plan Prepared by: Lisa King Compliance Officer Prepared — February 16, 2007 The State of North Carolina requires all facilities apply for a General Permit for Stormwater Discharges associated with SIC 285 Paints, Varnishes, Lacquers, Enamels, and Allied Products to submit a Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP). It is the intent of BonaKemi USA (Bona) to comply with all requirements of the North Carolina Discharge Permit System and reduce or eliminate pollution to North Carolina's water. This program will describe the steps Bona is taking to comply with the SWMP requirements. I. Industrial Activity Description Bona manufactures and sells hardwood flooring products including finishes (waterborne and solvent -based), polishes, sealers, stains, cleaners, fillers, and maintenance products. Products at this facility are handled in two ways: 1) Products are manufactured, processed, and packaged on -site 2) Products are imported in bulk and repackaged into smaller containers on -site II. Site Map Attached to this plan are the site maps that describe Bona's facilities. The structure consists of an office/manufacturing building on approximately 25 acres of land. The building is divided into offices, warehouse, a research and development laboratory, quality control laboratory, filling area and a manufacturing area where product is mixed/manufactured (referred to in this program as "Manufacturing'D. There are approximately 10,209 square feet of office space and 40,704 square feet used for the remainder of the site activities. III. Description of Potential Pollutant Sources/Containment A. Manufacturing Bona manufactures and processes waterborne products and a small quantity of solventbased products on site. The waterborne products manufactured on -site are combined in open -top stainless steel vessels and then repackaged into smaller containers. The vessels are pressure - washed and the rinse water is kept in holding tanks to be reused in future batches. The solventbased products manufactured on -site are combined in either a 55-gallon drum or in an open -top stainless steel vessel and then repackaged into smaller containers. Any spills that might occur during manufacturing or packaging are taken care of by either an absorbent pad designed for oils or a natural mineral absorbent that is swept into a drum and disposed of in accordance with the city and state regulations. All production personnel are trained to prevent any solventbased materials from entering the system. Page 2 of 6 BonaKemi USA Stormwater Management Plan - Continued B. Warehousing All spills in the warehouse will be contained with absorbent materials. A spill release center containing necessary materials for containing spills is located the manufacturing area. IV. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT CONTROLS AND PREVENTION A. SWMP Administrator The Compliance Officer has been designated as the SWMP Administrator and will be responsible for developing, implementing, maintaining and revising the SWMP. The Compliance Officer will report to the Director of Research and Development, who will be ultimately responsible for compliance with all regulations regarding spills of any kind. Risk Identification and Assessment Discussed below are four possible sources that could contribute pollutants to runoff. 1) Loading and Unloading operation — All dock doors are equipped with dock seals, which prevent precipitation from coming into contact with materials while being loaded or unloaded. Any spill inside the warehouse is immediately contained with the spill materials found at the spill response center. Therefore, no raw materials or manufactured products will be introduced into the stormwater system. Receiving of raw materials and other goods takes place at the main dock area on the east side of the building. Damaged containers which are known to contain leaking materials will not be accepted for delivery at the Bona facility. Should a container arrive that does contain leaking material, absorbent socks will be placed under the trailer to prevent spills to run toward the nearest storm drain. 2) Outdoor Storage Activity — Atomic Trailers, wooden pallets and metal housings for totes are temporarily stored outdoors. No manufactured products are stored outdoors. Thus, none are exposed to precipitation and will not be introduced into the stormwater system. Page 3 of 6 BonaKemi USA Stormwater Management Plan, - Continued Specific liquid raw materials are stored in the tank farm located at the rear of the facility. These raw materials are not SARA Title II Water Priority Pollutants. The tanks are surrounded by secondary containment. The unloading area for the tank farm has a sump pump for pumping material out of the area under the loading/unloading area. The sump pump is turned off at all times to ensure that raw material from the tank farm cannot enter the stormwater discharge. Water from rain events will only be pumped out of ,the containment area when a qualitative inspection has been performed by the Facilities Manager. If the water does not pass the qualitative inspection; the water will be allowed to evaporate or be pumped into totes and disposed of in accordance with local, state, federal regulations. 3) On -site Waste Disposal Practices — Wastewater from manufacturing processes is collected indoors and is never exposed to precipitation. Product and raw material containers are disposed of in several ways, none of which exposes any substances to precipitation. 4) Outdoor Manufacturing or Processing Activities — There are no outdoor manufacturing or processing activities. Therefore, there is no risk of this contributing pollutants to stormwater runoff. B. Monitoring Requirements BonaKemi USA, Inc. must perform analytical monitoring of the Stormwater discharges once a year commencing on the effective date of the permit. The Stormwater discharge will be analyzed for the following parameters. Discharge Characteristics Units Measurement Fre uen Sample Type Sample Location Cadmium, Total /l annually Grab SDO Chromium, Total /l annually Grab SDO Lead, Total /l annually Grab SDO Total Rainfall Inches annuall Event Duration minutes annually Total Flow MG annually SDO Discharge Characteristic Cut-off Concentration Cadmium, Total 5 /1 Chromium, Total 984 /l Lead, Total 33 /l Bona must submit analytical results no later than 30 days from the date the facility received the sampling results from the laboratory. Analyticatal results will be submitted the fitst year and the last year of the permit to the Division. The last year analytical results will be sent in with the permit renewal application. Page 4 of 6 BonaKemi USA Stormwater Management Plan - Continued C. Preventive Maintenance/Good Housekeeping All manufacturing at Bona takes place indoors, and the following preventive maintenance and good housekeeping policies/procedures are in place to ensure stormwater discharge will not occur: 1) The manufacturing equipment (tanks, hoses, valves) is used daily (Monday -- Friday) and is inspected daily for any potential problems or leaks. 2) The dumpsters in the yard are emptied four times a week and have a lid attached which is kept closed. 3) Forklifts are inspected on a bi-monthly basis by the manufacturer and are maintained so as to prevent any fluids from entering the system. 4) The warehouse personnel make every effort to keep the building and yard clean and free of debris. D. Spill Response The Plant Manager will document any spill/leak involving any raw materials or totes and any other spills greater than 5 gallons. Maps of the drainage system will be kept in the office of the Facility Manager so that it may be ascertained whether material has entered the system. Any significant spills will be reported as per CERCLA, EPCRA, the North Carolina Department of Health Water Quality Control Division, or other affected local, state and federal regulations. The Director of R&D and/or the Vice President of Operations will meet with the employees involved to discuss how to prevent future such occurrences. The occurrence will be noted in the Spill Summary Log located in the Compliance Office. Copies of the Spill Summary Log will be given to: Manufacturing, Purchasing, and the Vice President of Operations. E. Employee Training All warehouse, manufacturing and lab employees are subject to training under the Stormwater Management Plan. These employees work directly with the chemicals and therefore must be aware of the potential hazards. Training will be conducted annually and in conjunction with the Hazard Communications training for new warehouse, lab and manufacturing employees. The Plant Manager will briefly train any temporary employee before they start work. Training consists of the following: 1) spill response, 2) good housekeeping, and 3) material management practices. Page 5 of 6 BonaKemi USA Stormwater Management Plan - Continued F. Qualitative Monitoring Requirements (Inspections) A comprehensive inspection is conducted twice annually by the Compliance Officer one in the spring (April -- June) and Once in the fall (September — November). The SWU-242 Qualitative Monitoring Form will be used. The Director of Research & Development or Vice President of Operations will review and sign off. The Qualitative Monitoring Form will be sent in with the Analytical Monitoring Form during the first year of the permit. Subsequent Qualitative Monitoring Forms will be filed and kept on hand at all times. Page 6 of 6 Corporate Center Orl., BonaKemi USA, Inc.
