Central Ave., Suite 301 Mooresville NC 28115 Subject: Notice of Violation Compliance Evaluation Inspection NOV-2018-PC-0125 Pharr Yarns, LLC NPDES permit No. NCG500214 Dear W. Corey Basinger, This in response to the aforementioned Notice of Violation. These two sites also double as storm water discharge points. When these two sites are sampled the contract lab shows up and collects the samples with no Pharr personnel present, only when the lab emails the results does anyone at Pharr know they have been sampled. It could take as many as sixteen days from the time of the sampling to get the results and then several days before they are downloaded. The sampling event for March 2018 was only downloaded the day before the inspection. To remedy the non-notification and to speed up the information transfer, the lab has been Informed it can no longer sample without Pharr personnel present. The lab has also been given our permit limits and will automatically send out an alert of any deviations.This will allow the ORC to notify Division personnel within 24 hours and more sampling to be done to verify readings or to correct any problems. We have also identified several places where ground water could actually contaminate the samples as they are taken. Changes to the sampling sites are ongoing to eliminate the possibility of cross contamination. We believe these changes, especially pertaining to lab and sampling will correct the problems noted in Inspection.

Transcription error on the outfall 003 DMR for 4/09. Response: After every sampling event the contract lab would contact the Environmental Manager which contacted plant personnel and ask them to remove the chlorine from the cooling tower. Following the Inspection our Director of Engineering became involved and the following steps have been taken to ensure no chlorine will be in the discharge. All plant personnel have been instructed as to what can and can not be used in the cooling tower. The area around the tower was inspected and all chlorine containing products were removed. Signs have been ordered will be put on all towers that state no chlorine can be used in towers. The transcription error was totally an error by the Environmental Manger. I have since tried to be more careful in transcribing lab data to DMRs and will continue to try to improve. Upstream/Downstream Sampling: Comment: No semiannual up and downstream temperature sampling for outfall 002 for 4/09 and outfall 003 4/09,8/09, and 3/10. Response: Outfall 002 has since been added to the sanitary sewer. Outfall 003 has not sampled up or downstream ever in the past. We understand that we must ensure more stringent measures to adhere to the requirements of our permit. Outfall 003 has since been cleared to the receiving stream with the clearing going 100 ft. up and down. Effluent Pipe: Comment: Outfall 003 was not accessible. Response: Outfall 003 has since been cleared to the receiving stream with clearing going 100 ft. up and down. This clearing will be maintained with periodic bush hogging.

The penetrating properties of CHEMTREAT CL-2112 ensure effective contact of this biocide with microorganisms shielded by slime and organic residues. This mechanism enhances the ability of CHEMTREAT CL-2112 to remove adhering slime masses from water handling equipment. The broad-spectrum nature of CHEMTREAT CL-2112 often allows the elimination of a secondary alternate biocide. TYPICAL PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Form Clear liquid Odor Sharp aldehyde pH --3.6 Density —9.42 lbs./gal. DOSAGE Dosage levels of CHEMTREAT CL-2112 and frequency of addition will depend on nature and severity of contamination. Slug additions will normally fall within the range of 50 to 150 ppm. FEEDING CHEMTREAT CL-2112 may by pumped continuously to the recirculating water or added intermittently by slug dosage. Consult your ChemTreat Representative for recommended feeding and handling equipment. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS For specific information on handling, safety and first aid,please review the product's Material Safety Data Sheet.

Mixers,loader,and others exposed to product must wear the following Personal Protective Equipment(PPE): long-sleeved shirt and long pants,rubber gloves and apron, shoes plus socks,and protective eyewear. Follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If there are no such instructions for washables,use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry. Users should wash hands before eating, drinking,chewing gum,using tobacco,or using the toilet. Users should remove clothing immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing. Users should remove PPE immediately after handling product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as possible,wash thoroughly. Discard clothing or other absorbent materials that have been drenched or heavily contaminated with this product's concentrate. Section 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection Use protective equipment in accordance with 29 CFR 1910 Subpart I. Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control airborne levels. Wear chemical splash goggles or safety glasses with full-face shield. Wear rubber gloves. Wash them after each use and replace as necessary. If conditions warrant,wear impervious protective clothing such as boots, aprons, and coveralls to prevent skin contact. Maintain eyewash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.

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.
