Subject: Example laboratory benchsheets
Mr. Parkulo,
When I visited your facility last week I noted I would follow-up with you regarding laboratory benchsheets to document
your pH meter calibrations on the days it is used to monitor the pH of your effluent. The Division's Laboratory
Certification group provides technical assistance documents on their website for field laboratory certified
facilities. Although your facility is not required to obtain laboratory certification we recommend facilities covered by our
general wastewater permits follow this guidance to assist in generating legally defensible monitoring data.
The guidance documents I provided during my inspection (pH and temperature) can be found at the top of the
website. If you scroll down to the "Tools for Laboratories" section of the page the first entry in the table is an example
benchsheet you can use to document your pH meter calibrations.
If you have any questions regarding the guidance provided or the benchsheet please let me know.
Regards,
Marcia Allocco

conducted at the subject facility on January 26, 2010 by Mr. Wes Bell of this Office.
This report is being issued as a Notice of Violation (NOV) due to the inclusion of an
unpermitted discharge (reverse osmosis reject water) in the facility's drainage system/effluent
discharge and the facility's failure to monitor upstream and downstream temperatures and collect
representative effluent samples (prior to comingling with stormwater). The unpermitted
discharge and failures to monitor upstream/downstream temperatures and collect representative
effluent samples are violations of the subject NPDES Permit and North Carolina General Statute
(G.S.) 143-215.1, as detailed in the Permit and Effluent Sampling Sections of the attached
report. Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A, a civil penalty of not more than twenty-five thousand
dollars ($25,000.00) per violation, per day, may be assessed against any person who violates or
fails to act in accordance with the terms, conditions, or requirements of any permit issued
pursuant to G.S. 143-215.1.
It is requested that a written response be submitted to this Office by March 3, 2010,
addressing the above-noted violations and the discrepancies noted in the Laboratory and Flow
Measurement Sections of the attached report. In responding to the violations, please address
your comments to the attention of Mrs. Marcia Allocco.

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE FOR FIELD ANALYSIS OF pH
This document is intended to provide technical assistance and guidance for the measurement of pH. This is
not meant to be a substitute for the method,but is offered as a guide to the method.
•
HOLDING TIME:
• Samples must be analyzed within 15 minutes of collection.
METER CALIBRATION:
• The meter must be calibrated prior to the analysis of samples.
• If compliance samples are analyzed throughout the day, a post calibration check(e.g.,7 buffer)must be
analyzed mid-day and at the end of the run(i.e., roughly every 4 hours based on an eight hour day).
• For routine work, use a pH meter accurate and reproducible to 0.1 pH unit with a range of 0 to 14,
equipped with a temperature compensation device. Follow all manufacturers' recommendations for the
calibration of the meter each analysis day. In all cases, the meter must be calibrated with at least two
buffers. Calibrating with the pH 4 and pH 10 buffers meets standard methods requirements and brackets
the pH range for most monitoring (with the exception of sludge) scenarios. The calibration; however,
must bracket the range of the samples being analyzed. In addition to the calibration standards, the meter •
must be verified with a third calibration standard (e.g., pH 7 buffer).
• In order to meet the above-specified criteria,the standard must read within a range of pH 6.9 to 7.1 to be
acceptable.
General Information:
• Samples shall be gently stirred during measurement.
• The electrode must be rinsed and blotted dry between measurements.
• All thermometers and temperature measuring devices must be checked every 12 months against a
NIST certified or NIST traceable thermometer and the process documented even if the instrument is not
used for reporting temperature results. 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 1°C
from the NIST certified or NIST traceable thermometer reading. 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. (NOTE: Other certified laboratories may provide assistance in meeting this
requirement.)
DOCUMENTATION:
The following must be documented whenever sample analysis is performed.
1. Time and date of sample collection
2. Time of calibration
3. Time and date of analysis(to verify 15 minute holding time is met)
4. Collector's/analyst's name
5. Value of buffers used for calibration
6. Value obtained for check buffer(e.g., pH 7 buffer)
7. Sample location/site
8. Post calibration checks(if applicable)
9. Report all data values to the nearest 0.1 pH unit.
10. The temperature correction (even if it is zero) must be posted on the meter as well as in hard copy
format(to be retained for 5 years).

Stormwater Site Flows
As shown on Figure 2, there are four watersheds at this site.
Watershed 1: There are no production, shipping, receiving, or loading activities
occurring in this watershed. Watershed 1 includes non-contact
cooling water from the Acrylic Polymer Plant cooling tower
overflow and a small.amount of stormwater from the Acrylic
Polymer Plant production area. In order to direct the flow from
this watershed to the spill control basin, additional piping was
added in this area in 1996. As a result of the piping change, this
watershed drains through Outfall 02 at the discharge of the spill
control basin.
Watershed 2: The majority of the production, shipping, receiving, and loading
activities occur within this watershed. The Acrylic Polymer
Plant, the Latex Compounding Plant, and the SBR Plant are
included in this watershed. This watershed drains through
Outfall 02 at the discharge of the spill control basin.
Watershed 3: The only activity occurring in this watershed is the "bone yard"
storage area. The bone yard consists of scrap metal, scrap
equipment and other miscellaneous items. This watershed
drains through Outfall 03, a small, channelized discharge point.
Watershed 4: There are no production, shipping, receiving or loading activities
occurring in this watershed. Stormwater runoff from Watershed
4 does not have a central discharge point.
All industrial activity at the Noveon Gastonia site is contained in watershed 1 or
watershed 2. All stormwater from these two areas drains to the stormwater
basins before being discharged to surface waters. Stormwater retention basins
consist of two concrete basins piped in series. Stormwater from watershed 1 and
2 combine to enter the west basin which has a capacity of 221,228 gallons. If the
west basin fills, it will automatically overflow to the east basin which has a
capacity of 418,160 gallons. When the west basin fills, it will overflow to the
stream running through Noveon property. Under normal operating conditions,

all stormwater enters the west basin and is pumped to the east basin after
operators perform visual observation of the water. When the east basin level
reaches about half full, a visual observation is recorded along with the pH and
temperature and the water is discharged to the stream exiting the property. This
stream is a tributary to Crowders Creek. Retention times vary depending on
rainfall but the average retention is several days. During dry periods, retention
time may exceed one week.

Dear Permittee:
The facility listed above is covered under NPDES General Permit NCG500000. NCG500000 expires
on July 31, 2007. Federal(40 CFR 122.41) and North Carolina(15A NCAC 2H.0105(e))regulations require
that permit renewal applications must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current permit. If
you have already mailed a renewal request,you may disregard this notice.
To satisfy this requirement,the Division must receive a renewal request postmarked no later than
February 1,2007. Failure to request renewal by this date may result in a civil penalty assessment. Larger
penalties may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request. This renewal notice is being sent
well in advance of the due date so that you have adequate time to prepare your application.
If any discharge previously covered under NCG500000 will occur after July 31,2007, the
CoC must be renewed. Discharge of wastewater without a valid permit would violate North Carolina
General Statute 143-215.1;unpermitted discharges of wastewater may be assessed civil penalties of up to
$25,000 per day.
If all discharge has ceased at your facility and you wish to rescind this CoC [or if you have other
questions],contact me at the telephone number or e-mail address listed below.

Dear Mr. Nelli:
This office has received a soil erosion and sediment control
plan for the project listed on page two which was submitted as
required by the North Carolina Sedimentation Pollution Control
Act (G. S. 113A-57) .
Please be advised that the Act requires that all persons
disturbing an area of one or more acres of land must obtain
approval of a soil erosion control plan prior to the commencement
of the land-disturbing activity. The Act further states that
this plan must be filed a minimum of 30 days prior to the
activity and the approving authority must approve or disapprove
the submitted plan within 30 days of receipt. Failure of the
approving authority to approve or disapprove the submitted plan
within the 30 days period will be deemed approval of the plan if
the submitted plan is complete. Commencement or continuation of
a land-disturbing activity under the jurisdiction
of this Act prior to the approval of an erosion and sediment
control plan is a violation of the Act.
We have performed a preliminary review of your submitted
plan and have determined that additional information will be
necessary before a final review can be completed. Enclosed is a
checklist of items that must be submitted before we can complete
the review process. Failure to provide the additional
information may result in disapproval of your plan.

Use of Biocides
NPDES No. NC0049824
Gaston County
BF Goodrich-Gastonia has submitted microbiocides Biosperse 261T and Biosperse 240 for
approval. Data submitted by the subject facility concerning the dosage rate of the compounds, system
volume, average daily discharge, toxicity of the active ingredient and/or breakdown products, and
minimum stream flow have also been reviewed and evaluated.
Biosperse 240 toxicity data supplied by the facility was for rainbow trout (whole product LC50=
20.0 mg/1). Given the geographical location of the facility, the more appropriate toxicity data would be
for the Daphnia magna (whole product LC50=24.8 mg/1). This revision did not alter the final analysis
portion of the worksheet (part IV, page three).
Calculations summarized on the accompanying worksheet predict that the use of Biosperse 261T
and Biosperse 240 at the stated dosage rate, retention time(6.0 hours), and discharge conditions will not
result in toxic impact to aquatic life in the receiving stream. Therefore, the use of this product as a
biocide at BF Goodrich-Gastonia is deemed acceptable.
