Re: Wastewater Tank Failure
Valley Proteins, Inc. - Gastonia Division
Dear Mr. Lesley:
This will confirm our conversation on April 11, 2011 regarding the structural failure of our flow
equalization tank and subsequent spill of wastewater.
On April 9, 2011 this area experienced several significant storms and it is felt the high winds
caused structural damage to the tank. At approximately 4:00 a.m. on April 10, 2011 the tank
ruptured spilling approximately 25,000 gallons of wastewater. We were unaware the damage
occurred until investigation after the failure. Due to the amount of rainfall received we feel the
majority of the tank was rainwater. The spill was contained to our aeration basin with no
discharge to surface waters. The affected area of the spill was cleaned.
We regret this event occurred and appreciate your understanding If you have any questions
please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Lewis Graham or me.
Sincerely,
Paul Humphries, General Manager

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.
Sincerely,

PART III - OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION
1. Is this facility being constructed with Construction Grants Funds (municipals only)? No
2. Special monitoring requests: None at this time.
3. Additional effluent limits requests: none at this time
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
In November 1998, Carolina By-Products (CBP) eliminated the company's process
wastewater discharge (outfall 001) to Crowders Creek by connecting the discharge to the City of
Gastonia's Crowders Creek WWTP. CBP did not, however, connect the discharge from what was
previously known as outfall 002 in CBP's original NPDES Permit(NC0005011) to the City's
WWTP. CBP plans to continue to monitor this discharge under the terms and conditions of the
subject permit.
It is recommended that CBP be issued the General Permit as requested.
