Can one of you call Greg Dellinger with Kurz Transportation Products at 336-397-1724. He said he had an exceedance of BOD in his sand filter system and he'd always call Jennifer to report things like this before it showed up on his EDMR. He'd like to report it to someone in person this afternoon and I wasn't sure what to do with the information.

Kurz Transfer Products exceeded daily maximum limit value (45 mg/1) for BOD on February 6, February 17, March 3, and May 6, 2014. In addition the monthly average limit (30 mg/1) was exceeded in February, March and May due to these excursions. Kurz Transfer Products believes the root cause of the BOD problem is the use of chlorine bleach to disinfect our floor sweep. In March we deducted this may be the problem and instructed employees to use a smaller amount of bleach and to complete the disinfection process on a less frequent basis. We had no BOD issues in April. In May we exceeded the daily rnaximiun BOD limit but dial rot exceed the average monthly. We have completely eliminated the use of chlorine bleach. The June sampling was normal with no violations of BOD limits. Please call me if you require further information. I can be reached at 336-397-1724, 704-927-3851 or 704-560-8290.

Mr. Quentin Campbell, ORC, and Greg Dellinger, Environmental, Health and Safety Manager, were present during the inspection. The inspection consisted of two parts: an on -site inspection of the discharge systems and a review of facility files and self -monitoring data. With respect to the administrative portion of the facility's self -monitoring program, no deficiencies were noted. The following is a summation of the inspection. A) Facility records (daily logs and maintenance records) are well organized and current. B) The visual and audible alarm was tested and functioned properly. C) Copies of the permit are kept on site and with the ORC. D) The facility has no fecal or total residual chlorine limits. No chlorine is added prior to either discharge point. E) BOD permit limit exceedences in early 2014 are believed to have been caused by a temperature inversion within the septic tank. The tank was pumped out and numbers have subsequently returned to compliance. Should you have any questions please contact Jenifer Carter in our Winston-Salem Regional Office at (336) 771- 4957.

NCO070637 & NCG050288 Davidson County Dear Mr. Dellinger: Natural Resources Dee Freeman Secretary On June 27, 2012, Ms. Jenifer Carter of the Winston-Salem Regional Office conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection at Kurz Transfer Products's Wastewater and Stormwater Discharge Facilities. Mr. Quentin Campbell, ORC, and Greg Dellinger, Environmental, Health and Safety Manager, were present during the inspection. The inspection consisted of two parts: an on -site inspection of the discharge systems and a review of facility files and self -monitoring data. NCG050288 Three stormwater outfalls are monitored as required and records were complete. Qualitative monitoring was recorded twice annually, once on the State -provided monitoring form and once as part of a more detailed annual audit. The State -provided form should be filled out each time to be consistent. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan is adequate, though does not illustrate all preventative measures being taken, such as relocation of drums from areas prone to flooding when rain is expected. When the plan is updated to account for the upcoming building addition, it would be a good time to include and take credit for actions that demonstrate preventative measures being taken at Kurz to protect surface waters. NC 0070637 With respect to the administrative portion of the facility's self -monitoring program, no deficiencies were noted. The following is a summation of the inspection. A) Facility records (daily logs and maintenance records) are well organized and current. B) The visual and audible alarm was tested and functioned properly. C) Copies of the permit are kept on site and with the ORC. D) The facility has no fecal or total residual chlorine limits. No chlorine is added prior to either discharge point.

You and Mr. Quentin Campbell, ORC, were present during the inspection. The inspection consisted of two parts: an on -site inspection of the discharge systems and a review of facility files and self -monitoring data. A review of the submitted self -monitoring data did not reveal any limits violation during the last two years. A pH violation at outfall 002 (boiler blowdown) noted during the last inspection was addressed by boiling down more often. With respect to the administrative portion of the facility's self -monitoring program, no deficiencies were noted.

B) The sand filter visual and audible alarms were tested and functioned properly. C) Copies of the permit are kept on site and with the operator. D) Since the facility has no fecal limits, no chlorine is added. No biocides are utilized in the be prior to blowdown.

NCO070637 and NCG050288 Davidson County Dear Mr. Ramey: Coleen H. Sullins, Director Division of Water Quality On April 15, 2008, Ms. Jenifer Carter of the Winston-Salem Regional Office conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection at Kurz Transfer Products's Wastewater and Stormwater Discharge Facilities. Mr. Quentin Campbell, ORC, and Greg Dellinger, Environmental, Health and Safety Manager, were present during the inspection. The inspection consisted of two parts: an on - site inspection of the discharge systems and a review of facility files and self -monitoring data. NCG050288 Three stormwater outfalls are monitored as required and records were complete. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan is adequate, though the site map needs to be updated to show that stormwater outfall #2 no longer exists. Secondary containment is provided where required. NC 0070637 A r view of the submitted self -monitoring data for the period of March 2007 through March 2008 revealed two pH limit violations in September 2007 and March 2008 at outfall 002. Options to solve the problem are currently being discussed, including capturing the discharge (less than 1'/2 gallons per day) and allowing it to evaporate off, or pumping the discharge to the sand filter system. If the latter option is chosen please contact this office prior to proceeding. In either case, contact Ms. Jenifer Carter once a solution is in place. With respect to the administrative portion of the facility's self -monitoring program, no deficiencies were noted. The following is a summation of the inspection. A) Facility records (daily logs and maintenance records) are well organized and current. B) The visual and audible alarm was tested and functioned properly. C) Copies of the permit are kept on site and with the ORC. D) The facility has no fecal limits, and no chlorine is added prior to either discharge point.

Outfall 001 is from sand filter system, and 002 is boiler blowdown discharge. Chlorine is not added to either system, negating the requirement for TRC monitoring. There were no limits violations during the previous 12 months for which the this office has records at outfall 001. ERM Environmental performs the semi-annual monitoring for outfall 002. Less than 1 1/2 gallons is discharged daily at 002. There have been problems meeting the pH limit, so a solution is currently being sought. Options being discussed are 1.) capturing the discharge and evaporating it off, or 2.) using a sump pump to pum the discharge to the sand filter system. ***If the latter option is chosen, PLEASE CONTACT THIS OFFICE PRIOR TO PROCEEDING. Priority should be given to avoid shocking the treatment system batches of high pH wastewater, so pumping as frequently as possible will be important. If necessary, neutralization of the boiler blowdown water prior to pumping may be necessary.*** Page # 2 J Permit: NCO070637 Owner - Facility: Kurz Transfer Products Inspection Date: 04/15/2008 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Permit Yes No NA NE (If the present permit expires in 6 months or less).

The permit (NC070637) for the domestic waste treatment system at this site was most recently issued on July 28, 2004. The permit authorizes the discharge of 1500 gallons per day of treated domestic wastewater and establishes other limitations that the facility must meet. A compliance inspection on December 1, 2005 indicated that the facility was meeting all the limits. Your letter indicates that the daily total of employees at this facility would increase from 49 to 57. The treatment plant is capable of handling the additional domestic wastewater without any impact to its operation. This letter can be used to request approval of the addition by Davidson County Zoning Department. If you have any questions on this response do not hesitate to contact me at 336-771-4608, extension 282.

Box 29535 Raleigh, NC 27626-0535 Re: Outfall Addition to Permit No.# NCO070637 Dear Mr. Goodrich: Enclosed please find a SHORT FORM C application filled out for an additional outfall to the existing outfall permit referenced above, as well as the appropriate fee and site map. I have conferred with Ms. Susan Wilson on this matter and she was most helpful in providing guidance and information on correct procedures to follow. After talldng with Susan about this additional outfall she agreed that it was really an insignificant discharge but that we should still go forward with the addition to our present permit. It was thought helpful by Ms. Wilson to give some further explanation. Hence, the reason we are applying for this additional outfall is to cover our condensate/blow down on our two steam boilers. We are required to blow down our boilers once a shift, five days a week, for a few minutes. This really amounts to less than one and a half gallons per week as stated in the application. I have also submitted copies of the MSDS sheets for the additives that go into treating our boilers. I trust that all will be in order for this addition to our present outfall permit. Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated. If you have any further concerns please contact me. Sincerely yours, Piedmont C nv 'ng, C.
