The treatment system was found to be compliant with all effluent limits and monitoring requirements of the NPDES permit. The inspection findings are detailed below and an inspection checklist is attached for your records. I. Permit The current NPDES permit expires on April 30, 2017. Please note that upon renewal, it is expected that the permit will require MillerCoors to begin submitting monthly self -monitoring reports (DMRs) electronically per the new EPA rule which mandates NPDES permittees to electronically submit DMRs. Information on the eDMR process along with the eDMR Registration form can be found at the following link: http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/admin/bog/ipu/edmr. II. Self-Monitorina Proaram The monthly DMRs were reviewed for the period July 2014 through April 2015. The facility was found to be in compliance with all effluent permit limits. In regards to the permit monitoring requirements, it was noted that all sampling was being performed per the frequencies specified in the permit. III. Flow Measurement The NPDES permit requires continuous flow recording as well as an annual calibration of the flow measuring device. The daily effluent flow values reported on the DMRs are measured using an ultrasonic flow meter with parshall flume. The meter was last calibrated by MillerCoors staff on June 29, 2015. Additionally, it was noted that flow proportional composite effluent samples are collected per Part II, Section A of the permit. 450 West Hanes Mill Road, Suite 300, Winston-Salem, NC 27105 Phone: 336-776-9800 \ Internet: www.ncwatercluality.org An Equal Opportunity \ Affirmative Action Employer — Made in part by recycled paper Mr. Smith MillerCoors Page 2 of 2 IV. Sludge Handling and Disposal Solids handling consists of two aerobic digesters and a belt press. The dewatered residuals are distributed under non -discharge permit No. WQ0001347 issued by the Division of Water Resources. V. Operations and Maintenance The facility was well operated and maintained. No problems pertaining to O&M were noted. VI. Facility Site Review The existing 5.2 MGD treatment system consists of the following components: influent screw type lift station, manual bar screen, grit chamber, aeration basins, secondary clarifiers, polishing lagoons, effluent pump station and effluent flow meter. Please refer to the attached inspection checklist for specific comments on each system component.

Attached are the two last inspection reports you requested. We are currently in the process of auditing Meritech right now — we were there on May 20rh and are returning to finish the audit on Wednesday the 28`h. If you or EPA would like a copy of that report when it is completed let us know and we can send it. Regarding our paper trail process — when we perform an inspection at a facility like Miller/Coors we do not also travel to the contract lab (Meritech) to review bench sheets. We do not have the staff levels that would allow us to do that. I know that was done back in the day with the old Performance Audit Inspections (PAI) that we were sometimes asked to assist Water Quality folks with, but it is not a routine part of a laboratory inspection and we have not had a request for assistance in performing a PAI in years. We look at it like we are there to inspect that particular lab and that lab's contract lab will be inspected independently .As you can see from the interval between inspections we are struggling to keep our heads above water with inspection frequencies due to all the positions we have lost so that would be next to impossible to incorporate into a routine laboratory inspection. What we do at all facilities (not commercial labs) is review three random DMRs and we follow all the data points produced by that lab (Miller/Coors) back to the bench sheets and the data from the contract lab (Meritech) we compare the client report form from Meritech to the DMR and look for transcription errors etc. If we see something that raises a major red flag we would follow up with the commercial lab — but not routinely. When we inspect a commercial lab we try to randomly select a couple client report forms and follow the data back to the bench sheets if time allows. If we get a request from data receivers — like you folks — or a client (Miller/Coors) to look at specific data we always do that — usually independently of the normal audit process. As far as a contact person for EPA — they can contact either me or Dana— contact information for both of us is below in email string.

INTRODUCTION: On -Site Inspection Report Miller Coors LLC. NCO029980 863 East Meadow Road Eden, NC 27288 5107 September 24, 2013 Field Maintenance Nick Jones Drew Lucas This laboratory was inspected by a representative of the North Carolina Wastewater/Groundwater Laboratory Certification (NC WW/GW LC) program to verify its compliance with the requirements of 15A NCAC 2H .0800 for the analysis of environmental samples. II. GENERAL COMMENTS: The laboratory was clean and well organized. The facility has all the equipment necessary to perform the analyses. Proficiency Testing (PT) samples have been analyzed for all certified parameters for the 2013 proficiency testing calendar year and the graded results were 100% acceptable. Contracted analyses are performed by Meritech, Inc. (Certification #165). Current quality assurance policies for Field Laboratories and approved procedures for the analysis of the facility's currently certified parameters were provided at the time of the inspection. III. FINDINGS, REQUIREMENTS, COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Comment: The laboratory needs to increase the documentation of purchased materials and reagents. The Quality Assurances Policies for Field Laboratories document states: all chemicals, reagents, standards and consumables used by the laboratory must have the following information documented: Date Received, Date Opened (in use). Vendor. Lot Number. and Expiration Date. A system (e.g., traceable identifiers) must be in place that links standard/reagent preparation information to analytical batches in which the solutions are used. Documentation of solution preparation must include the analyst's initials, date of preparation, the volume or weight of standard(s) used, the solvent and Page 2 #5107 Miller Coors LLC. final volume of the solution. This information as well as the vendor and/or manufacturer, lot number, and expiration date must be retained for chemicals, reagents, standards and consumables used for a period of five years. Consumable materials such as PH buffers and lots of pre -made standards are included in this requirement. The traceability log supplied by the auditor during the inspection was implemented by laboratory personnel before the conclusion of the inspection on 9/24/2013. No further response is necessary for this finding. IV. PAPER TRAIL INVESTIGATION: The paper trail consisted of comparing field testing records and contract lab reports to Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) submitted to the North Carolina Division of Water Resources. Data were reviewed for Miller Coors (NC0029980) for June, July and August 2013. No transcription errors were detected. The facility appears to be doing a good job of accurately transcribing data. V. CONCLUSIONS: All findings noted during the inspection were adequately addressed prior to the completion of this report. The inspector would like to thank the staff for its assistance during the inspection and data review process. No response is required.

CHW From: Mickey, Mike Sent: Friday, May 09, 2014 4:21 PM To: Weaver, Charles Subject: DWR's guidance for "Reduction of Monitoring Frequencies for Exceptionally Performing Facilities" Charles — MillerCoors (NC0029980 - 5.2 MGD industrial) inquired about the above monitoring reductions. However, the guidance says it is for facilities included in SIC 4952. Wouldn't that exclude MillerCoors? I don't think they receive any domestic wastewater. Thanks, Mike.

MillerCoors Brewery on 18 April 2011. Your assistance and cooperation as well as that of Mr. Matt Toms was greatly appreciated. Inspection findings are summarized below. The facility is located at 863 Meadow Road, in Eden, in Rockingham County. Wastewater produced at the facility is discharged to the Dan River, which is currently classified as . � waters in the Roanoke River Basin. L NPDES Permit NCO029980 Site Review The facility is very well operated and maintained. At the time of inspection three of the eight basins were offline and not in use. Two of these had been drained to repair leaks in the wall separating the two basins and the third was not in use while maintenance is being performed on the diffuser system. The facility still has more than adequate capacity to function properly while these basins are offline. The facultative lagoons were inspected and found to be in very good shape. No indications of erosion or presence of burrowing animals was observed. During the inspection you inquired about the ability to utilize polymer logs to help reduce suspended nutrients and control algal growth. To follow up, Mr. Thomas spoke with Sergei Chernikov, with our Complex Permitting Unit, about using this type of polymer. Please provide this office with a letter describing the product and its intended use for our review. Additional sampling for toxicity may be required to determine your facilities ability to use this product long term.

On September 23, 2012, a wastewater by-pass occurred in the facility's wastewater treatment plant causing a minor amount of wastewater to backflow to the drain system inside the Main Wastewater Building and to the asphalt area located adjacent to the building. The incident occurred around 11:00AM and was caused by equipment failure (backup pump failed to start). The backup diesel pump was in place at the time. The operator manually started and primed the pump after flow was established and made the necessary reporting calls. Upon discovery of the incident, the facility immediately took corrective measures in accordance with our Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan to ensure containment of the spilled material and prevent the material from being discharged off -site. An assessment was made at downstream locations to ensure no off -site impact release or damage from the spilled material. Please contact me at (336) 627-2137 or at hassan.nunn@millercoors.com should you have any questions or comments regarding this submittal. Sincerely, Hassan A.

This foam was from a recent flow of waste beer that was diverted into our #3 basin per plant procedure. We immediately turned off the aerators to this basin to reduce foaming and prevent further bypass. There was no evidence of the material leaving the site and the rain/snow mix helped to knock down the foam as well. This issue has been resolved, however, we are submitting this notice to serve as a bypass notification from the event. It is estimated that <10 gallons total of foam was carried out of the basin.

Lucas@millercoors.com] Sent: Friday, June 03, 2011 3:56 PM To: Thomas, Mike Cc: Toms, Matthew Subject: MiilerCoors - Eden, NC - pH excursion - 6/1/2011 Attachments: image001.jpg Mike, As discussed via telephone, we had a daily pH excursion in our final effluent on 6/1/2011 that will be reported on the June DMR submitted to NCDENR by July 31. This was caused by higher ambient temperature causing increase in algae growth and alkalinity removal in the polishing lagoons. Additionally, a plugged screen at the lagoon discharge (normally used as a precaution to keep leaves and debris from effluent) decreased flow across the polishing lagoons. Normally, if a high pH is ever approached, standard procedure is to open the blend valve (adding clarifier effluent water) to produce an acceptable final effluent pH. We do not have a high pH in our clarifiers, but in our lagoons due to naturally occurring circumstances and blending of the effluent reduces pH to acceptable levels. A less experienced WWTP lab technician was on shift during the high pH timeframe. Although they have been thoroughly trained, we have a couple of new operators at our WWTP that have not had exposure to this situation before and lack experience, during the warmer months, to blend with clarifier water as necessary. We plan to reiterate this issue with our WWTP operators to ensure a thorough understanding of standard procedures and monitoring requirements. Corrective Actions include: 1.) Report non-compliance to NCDENR - COMPLETE 2.) Remove lagoon discharge screen during high temperature periods, whenever possible, to prevent plugging — COMPLETE 3.) Re-train all WWTP operators to better understand pH monitoring, dissolved oxygen/alkalinity balance and effluent blending strategy to prevent high pH situations - by 6/10/11 The pH excursion was a one-time occurrence and effluent pH was immediately corrected to acceptable levels upon discovery of this issue. The above actions will prevent recurrence of this issue and ensure the facility maintains acceptable pH levels in our effluent. Please let me know if any questions or comments regarding this issue.

Lucas, Environmental, Health & Safety Representative 863 East Meadow Road Eden, NC 27288 Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection NPDES Permit NCO029980 & NPDES General Stormwater Permit NCG060112 MillerCoors, LLC Rockingham County Dear Mr. Lucas: Mr. Mike Thomas of the Winston-Salem Regional Office of the North Carolina Division of Water Quality conducted a compliance evaluation inspection of the MillerCoors Brewery on 18 May 2011. Your assistance and cooperation as well as that of Mr. Matt Toms was greatly appreciated. Inspection findings are summarized below. The facility is located at 863 Meadow Road, in Eden, in Rockingham County. Wastewater produced at the facility is discharged to the Dan River, which is currently classified as WS-IV waters in the Roanoke River Basin. NPDES Permit NCO029980 Site Review The facility is very well operated and maintained. At the time of inspection three of the eight basins were offline and not in use. Two of these had been drained to repair leaks in the wall separating the two basins and the third was not in use while maintenance is being performed on the diffuser system. The facility still has more than adequate capacity to function properly while these basins are offline. The facultative lagoons were inspected and found to be in very good shape. No indications of erosion or presence of burrowing animals was observed. The sludge handling facilities were inspected and found to be very well maintained and operated. The facility has a 90 thousand gallon sludge tank where sludge is held before going to the sludge press. The resulting product is then land applied offsite. Effluent flow is measured and flow proportional samples are collected through a sampler located in the basement of the treatment building. Temperature in the sampler was below the required 6°C specified in the permit. The flow meter is calibrated as required by the permit.

Operation logs were reviewed and found to meet all requirements. Scheduled maintenance at the plant is managed through an electronic database that produces work orders when maintenance is due. Comparison of available lab reports and field monitoring data with discharge monitoring reports (DMR) showed no concerns or errors. Chain of custody records were available and complete. The visitation and operation/maintenance logs were reviewed and found to be complete and current. All required lab testing for the facility, is conducted by Men itech. MillerCoors has a current field laboratory certification for dissolved oxygen, pH and temperature. MillerCoors, LLC, had no effluent limit violations or monitoring violations the past twelve months. No annual report is required for this facility. The facility operates 24 hours a day 7 days a week with a total of six operators (two per shift). The assigned Operator in Responsible Charge, Mr. Toms, as well as, the other operators has the appropriate, current certifications to operate the facility. NPDES General Stormwater Permit NCG060112 Site Review The entire manufacturing plant was very clean and well maintained. No issues were observed at the time of inspection. All secondary containment measures were in place and secured with appropriate locks. Minor erosion was noted at the outfalls located near the constructed wetlands adjacent to NC HWY 770. The erosion can likely be managed by reducing the frequency and intensity of mowing around the concrete structures and along the stream banks. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SP3) was found to meet all requirements. The plan is reviewed annually and updated as needed. Training sessions are conducted annually for current staff and new hires receive training as part of their orientation. Both analytical and qualitative monitoring are being conducted per the permit and no readings above permit benchmarks has occurred. MillerCoors, LLC has representative outfall status that allows monitoring of only one of the four stormwater discharge outfalls. Mr. Thomas found no reason to reconsider this status and therefore it will remain in effect for the time being. We appreciate your efforts to effectively operate and maintain this treatment system. No additional response to this letter is required. If you have questions regarding the inspection or this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Thomas or me at (336) 771-5000. Sincerely, W.

Lucas@millercoors.com] Sent: Monday, December 06, 2010 5:47 PM To: Thomas, Mike Subject: MillerCoors - Eden, NC - Leaking Aeration Basin Attachments: image001.jpg Mike, As discussed during our recent telephone conversation, the MillerCoors — Eden, NC facility made notification to NCDENR in accordance with our NPDES Permit regarding a leak in our #2 Aeration Basin that was discovered on Tuesday, 11/30/2010. The basin was leaking underneath the unit and into our internal stormwater conveyance ditch. Samples were taken at the discharge of our retention pond located downstream of the stormwater conveyance ditch to verify no off -site discharge or impacts took place during this event. Samples for COD and pH were verified to be within normal parameters during and after the incident. The following corrective actions are planned to prevent further issue in the #2 basin: 1.) Empty #2 Aeration Basin to prevent further leakage — COMPLETE 2.) Lower the wastewater level in #3 Aeration Basin to prevent leakage through crack in adjoining wall into #2 Aeration Basin —COMPLETE 3.) Remove #2 Aeration Basin from service and install pump system to remove all residual wastewater and/or rain water from unit —COMPLETE 4.) Investigate location of leak in floor and wall of #2 Aeration Basin — IN PROGRESS 5.) Procure quotes for cleanout and repair of #2 Basin — IN PROGRESS 6.) Repair #2 Aeration Basin and restore to normal operation —Scheduled for early 2011(unit will remain out of service until repairs are complete) As previously mentioned, the #2 Aeration Basin has been completely emptied to prevent further leakage. This unit will remain out of service until repairs can be made. The facility will continue to closely watch this unit to ensure no influent or leakage occurs during the repair timeframe.

MEADOW ROAD EDEN, NC 27288-3636 336.627.2100 www.MillerCoors.com EqSEP EC ;_i1- -2 9 2010 RE: MillerCoors LLC — Eden Brewery — NPDES Permit #NC0029980 Notification of Missed Sample for August 2010 This letter serves as follow-up to our notification via telephone on September 23, 2010 of a missed sample for the MillerCoors Eden Brewery located at 863 East Meadow Road, Eden, NC 27288 located in Rockingham County (NPDES Permit #NC0029980). It was discovered on September 23, 2010, during preparation and review of the August DMR, that a sample had been inadvertently missed for the week of August 9, 2010. The missed sample was for ammonia and is a weekly monitoring requirement per our NPDES Permit. This requirement is not associated with an existing numerical discharge limit and is for monitoring purposes only. This sample was missed due to human error as a part-time employee was responsible for weekly sampling during this timeframe and failed to take the required sample. This issue was also missed by supervisory personnel and our contract laboratory. Upon discovery of this omission, the facility immediately worked to take corrective actions and prevent recurrence. Samples taken during the week before and after the missing sample period show no indication of variability for ammonia within the facility's wastewater discharge and it is expected that all ammonia sampling results would be similar within this timeframe. This is also supported by consistent operation of the facility's wastewater plant with no issues and low variability within the discharge characteristics during this timeframe. As a result, this sample would have not contributed any change in information to the existing, large quantity of data collected by the facility for the monitoring -only requirement for ammonia. As previously discussed, the facility took immediate corrective actions to prevent recurrence of this issue. Internal notifications were immediately performed in accordance with the facility's reporting structure and a plan has been implemented to ensure thorough review on a weekly basis of all scheduled samples in accordance with PP VLetterto Mr. Mike Thomas— NCDENR-DWQ September 27, 2010 the facility's NPDES Permit. Specifically, the facility has developed a procedure to ensure part-time employees are not involved with sampling as they could lack experience and routine to ensure consistent adherence to monitoring requirements. Instead, only experienced, full-time employees will be assigned to compliance sampling activities and a review of all chain of custodies and sampling schedule will take place each week by the Operator -in Responsible Charge (ORC). Additionally, an automated, electronic reminder system has been implemented to ensure this review occurs on a consistent basis each week to make certain all samples are collected within the required timeframes. This automated system also notifies plant supervision and environmental management personnel for additional follow-up and as backup to ORC review. Additional corrective actions include retraining of wastewater treatment plant employees on compliance sampling schedules and requirements and further discussion with our contract laboratory to ensure the facility is immediately notified of any known, missed samples. MillerCoors LLC is committed to minimizing environmental impact and ensuring compliance with our permit limits and conditions at all times. The Eden Brewery strives to continuously improve our environmental management system to go beyond compliance. The above corrective actions have already been implemented at the facility and we are confident these additional tasks will prevent recurrence of this issue.

On Saturday, 3/27/2010 at approximately 12:30 PM, the facility released a small quantity of sludge supernatant (treated wastewater) from our filter press/sludge storage building towards our stormwater ditch. This was caused by an abnormal batch of wet sludge being dropped to the sludge storage pad, which plugged the drain system, flooded the concrete storage area and the supernatant escaped from the building. We estimate the quantity of supernatant water discharged from the building to be —800 gallons. Due to the wooded buffer area between the sludge storage building and the stormwater ditch, we do not expect this entire quantity to have been released directly into the stormwater ditch (estimated at less than 50 gallons) and there was no evidence of this material being released off -site. Upon discovery, the facility took immediate corrective actions and placed sand bags, absorbent pads and bulk sand to stop the flow. The discharge was stopped within a few minutes. We allowed time for the water to be absorbed and then removed all material from the ground. The facility also made notification to the NC Emergency Operations Center as this incident happened outside of normal business hours. As a corrective action, the facility plans to install additional curbing around the sludge storage building to prevent recurrence. Please contact me with any questions or comments regarding this incident at (336) 627-2592 or via e-mail at Lucas.Andrewc@-MillerCoors.com. Sincerely, Andrew C.

The actual outfall could not be reached during the inspection due to extremely damp and muddy conditions. However, a distant visual observation showed the right-of-way to the outfall to be clear and accessible. Documentation Review 3. The following documentation was reviewed: a. Laboratory records, both in-house and contract, were reviewed. All records were complete, accurate, well organized and available for review. At least five years worth of records are kept on file. Laboratory records matched discharge monitoring reports and no transcription or other errors were noted. MillerCoors has a current field laboratory certification for dissolved oxygen, pH and temperature. All laboratory chains of custody were also complete, well organized and available for review. b. Operation and maintenance records were also complete, current well organized and available for review. Most maintenance of plant equipment is managed through electronic databases that produce work orders when maintenance is due. Completed work orders are kept on file. An operational log book is kept. Operators make appropriate daily entries during their shifts. C. An operator visitation log is also kept. It is complete and current. d. No annual compliance report is required. e. The plant is currently operated 24/7. f. The assigned ORC, Harry Hudgins, as well as the backup ORC(s), have current appropriate certifications to enable them to operate the plant. g. The plant had no limit violations over the previous twelve months. 4. No problems were noted during this inspection. It is noted that Mr. Hudgins will be retiring within the next few months. Please keep in mind the ORC/BORC requirements and plan ahead to ensure MillerCoors always maintains ORC/BORC(s) of the required grade in these positions at all times. Please be sure to copy this office on all ORC designation forms submitted to our Raleigh office. NPDES General Industrial Stormwater Permit NCG060112 Site Review 5. The entire manufacturing plant .was quite clean and well maintained. Only one small discrepancy was noted; the drain for one secondary containment facility was left opened and unlocked. It was fixed immediately, however. Please ensure all secondary containment facilities are always maintained in accordance with the permit; i.e. drains always locked in the closed position when not in use. Also, only designated personnel should be allowed to manage the locks. Documentation Review 6. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SP3) was found to meet requirements. All discrepancies noted during the last inspection had been corrected. Both analytical and qualitative monitoring has been accomplished as required; no exceedences of permit benchmarks have occurred. MillerCoors currently has representative outfall status (ROS) that allows them to monitor only one of four stormwater discharge outfalls (SDO). Mr. Boone found no reason to reconsider this status and therefore it will remain in effect for the time being. Wt oors, LLC Mr. Andrew C.

Sullins, Director Division of Water Quality 1. Mr. Ron Boone of the Winston-Salem Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) conducted wastewater and stormwater compliance evaluation inspections (CEI) of the MillerCoors, LLC facility located at 863 East Meadow Road, in Eden, Rockingham County, North Carolina, on 3 December 2008. Your assistance and cooperation, as well as that of Mr. Harry Hudgins, Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) of the wastewater treatment plant, were greatly appreciated. Inspection findings are summarized below and inspection reports are attached for your records. Individual NPDES Wastewater Discharge Permit NCO029980 2. The MillerCoors wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) discharges into receiving waters known as the Dan River, this section of which is currently classified as Class C waters in the Roanoke River basin. The plant consists of influent screw lift pumps, a bar screen, a grit chamber, neutralization, flow equalization, extended aeration basins, secondary clarifiers, nutrient addition, polishing lagoons and aerobic digestion. Some of these components/processes, such as neutralization and equalization, are only used on an as needed basis, as flows from the manufacturing facility change. The plant also has an effluent flow meter, which is used for flow reporting, and a sludge press along with lime and ferric chloride addition for sludge dewatering before it is land applied. Neither the flow meter nor the press and chemical process is included in the plant description of the permit. Please ensure these components are added to the plant description during the next permit renewal cycle, along with any other plant components that should be added to the description. Documentation Review 3. Mr. Boone evaluated laboratory data and all required records were available and complete. Comparison of lab reports with discharge monitoring reports (DMR) revealed no transcription errors and chains of custody were also complete. All lab records were well organized. The plant lab's certification for field laboratory tests is current. The plant has had no limit violations over the 12 months previous to the inspection.

All records must be maintained for a period of three years, with the exception of laboratory records, which must be kept on file for a minimum of five years. Site Review 5. Most plant components were operational during the inspection except for two of the clarifiers, which were down for maintenance/repair. Several of the aeration basins were also shut down. None of these units are needed to meet permit limits; only a portion of the plant's capacity is currently required to treat the influent flow. One aeration basin is actually used as an aerobic digester and others are used for flow equalization and/or neutralization as needed. The plant is well operated and maintained. No discrepancies were noted. 6. It was discussed during the inspection that Mr. Hudgins will soon be retiring from service. Please note that MillerCoors must designate a new ORC for the plant within 120 calendar days following Mr. Hudgins vacating the position. You must do so by submitting a properly filled out and signed operator designation form to the Division's Technical Assistance and Certification Unit (TACU). Additionally, Mr. Hudgins must personally notify the TACU and the appropriate regional office within 14 calendar days of vacating the position. General NPDES Stormwater Discharae Permit NCG060112 7. Stormwater related to industrial activity is discharged from this site to an unnamed tributary to Dry Creek, which is currently classified as Class C waters in the Roanoke River Basin. The site currently has four stormwater discharge outfalls (SDO), only one of which is currently monitored analytically due to MillerCoors being granted representative outfall status (ROS) in March 1994. Consequently, MillerCoors analytically monitors only SDO 004. Furthermore, no conditions were noted during the inspection that brought into question the validity of ROS for this site. The entire site was clean and well maintained. All four SDOs were inspected and the receiving waters exhibited no adverse effects from stormwater discharges. Documentation Review 8. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SP3) was reviewed and the following discrepancies were noted: a. The general location map (GLM) does not show accurate latitudes/longitudes for each of the SDOs, the receiving stream is not labeled and the map does not indicate the whether the receiving stream is impaired according to the state's 303(d) list of impaired waters. Please refer to Part II, Section A, Paragraph 1(a) for further details on these requirements. b. The site map does not delineate separate drainage areas for the site and does not indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious. c. The SP3 was originally written in November 1997 and reviews/updates have not been properly recorded. The SP3 should include a review/update log on which the required annual reviews and associated updates are annotated. In addition, the permit now requires that you update the list of significant spills or make an annotation that no spills have occurred and recertify the SDOs in accordance with Part II, Section A, Paragraph 1(e), as part of the annual review. Please note that the certification of the outfalls is a requirement V rt Cranson cember 2008 3 of 3 separate from analytical monitoring, although nothing precludes you from performing the tasks simultaneously, as long as all documentation requirements are met. All other components of the SP3 were found to be compliant. 9. Analytical and qualitative monitoring records for 2008 were reviewed. No discrepancies were noted and no benchmarks were exceeded. It is again noted that the facility has ROS and analytically monitors only SDO 004, but still qualitatively monitors all four SDOs, as required by the permit. No vehicle maintenance is performed at the site. 10. We greatly appreciate your cooperation in the inspection process and your efforts to meet the requirements of both the wastewater and stormwater permits. Please reply to this letter in writing within 30 days of receiving it. Your response should include a corrective action plan with implementation schedule for each of the discrepancies noted above in paragraphs 8(a) through 8(c). If you have any questions regarding the inspection or this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Boone or me at (336) 771-5000. Sincerely, Steve W.

INTRODUCTION: IV. This laboratory was inspected to verify its compliance with the requirements of 15A NCAC 2H .0800 for the analysis of environmental samples. GENERAL COMMENTS: The laboratory is spacious and well equipped. All facilities and instrumentation are well maintained. Comment: Finding A is a new policy that has been implemented by our program since the last inspection. FINDINGS, REQUIREMENTS, COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Temperature — Standard Methods, 20"' Edition, 2550 B A. Finding: The temperature correction factors were not documented on any of the thermometers/meters in use. Requirement: All thermometers and temperature measuring devices must be checked every 12 months against a NIST certified or NIST traceable thermometer and the process documented. To check a thermometer or the temperature sensor of a meter, read the temperature of the thermometer/meter against a NIST certified or NIST traceable thermometer and record the two temperatures. The thermometer/meter readings must be less than or equal to 10C from the NIST certified or NIST traceable thermometer reading. (NC Wastewater/Groundwater Laboratory Certification Policy). The documentation must include the serial number of the NIST certified thermometer or NIST traceable thermometer that was used in the comparison. Also document any correction that applies on both the thermometer/meter and on a separate sheet to be filed. PAPER TRAIL INVESTIGATION: The paper trail consisted of comparing field testing records and contract lab reports to Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) submitted to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality. Data were reviewed for the following months: March, April and May, 2008. No transcription errors were detected. The facility appears to be doing a good job of accurately transcribing data. a 11er Brewing Company CONCLUSIONS: Correcting the above cited finding and implementing the recommendations will help this lab to produce quality data and meet certification requirements. The inspector would like to thank the staff for its assistance during the inspection and data review process. Please respond to all findings. Report prepared by: Ramon L.

December 31, 2007 Miller Brewing Company Eden, NC 27288 Dear Mr. Russel: On December 31, 2007 at approximately Sam Miller Brewing's ORC Harry Hudgins notified Miller Management of a foaming issue that was observed at the influent screw lift basin. MBCO notified DQW Winston-Salem Regional Office at approximately 10 AM by phone, and left you a message detailing the incident and that clean up had begun. Most of the foam was on the pavement around the bar screen, grit box & grit chamber. On the west side of bar screen the foam was on the grass about 15' down the hill, however did not impact any surface waters or migrate off site. The cause of this foaming was due to routine drain cleaning that was performed over the holiday shutdown. The debris and built-up grime that was loosened during the cleaning contained solidified conveyor lubricant that when agitated caused excessive foaming. Corrective actions are being developed and put in place to minimize this occurrence in the future. If you have any questions regarding this incident or more specific information on corrective actions feel free to contact me at 336-627-2592 or by email at cranson.kurt@mbco.com. Sincerely Kurt R.
