Industrial Inspection Comments:
The Company currently employs approximately 334 full-time and 32 temporary employees and operates three shifts. The pretreatment
system includes the following: flow equalization (2 tanks); pH adjustment; chemical precipitation (2 tanks); coagulation; flocculation;
clarification (lamella clarifier); sand filtration; ion -exchange; effluent storage tank; in -line pH monitoring systems; and flow
measurement. Sludge is dewatered by a plate & frame press. The dewatered sludge is transported to the Metallix facility were the
precious metals are recovered and remaining sludge is incinerated. The facility has contracted companies (A&D Environmental, STAT,
Eco-Flo) to remove and dispose of non -hazardous and hazardous wastes generated on -site.
SUMMARY AND COMMENTS:
The contracted laboratory detection levels for antimony (0.010 mg/L) and lead (0.010 mg/L) were not at or below the required IUP
detection levels for South Fork Industries (antimony) and VT LeeBoy (lead). The Pretreatment Coordinator must either modify the
IUPs or have the contracted laboratory lower the applicable detection levels.
The records reviewed during the inspection were organized and well maintained. The City's Industrial Pretreatment Program was being
well managed and properly implemented.

Dear Ms. Tunstall:
Enclosed is a copy of the Pretreatment Compliance Inspection Report for the inspection of the City of
Lincolnton approved Industrial Pretreatment Program on May 20, 2015 by Mr. Wes Bell of this Office.
This report is being issued as a Notice of Deficiency (NOD) due to the City's failures to properly
implement the Pretreatment Program. Specifically, the City failed to take enforcement per the Division approved
ERP to address a SIU's failures to submit both a permit renewal application within 180 days of the permit
expiration date and a TTO Certification by 6/1/2014 (Permit Condition) as noted in the attached report.
It is requested that a written response be submitted to this Office by June 26, 2015, addressing the City's
actions to address these deficiencies. In responding, please address your comments to Mr. Wes Bell.

VILE REVIEW COMMENTS:
5. The POTW's corrective actions to the previous compliance inspection included the issuance of NOVs dated 5/26/2014 to McMurray
Fabrics, Mohican Mills, and South Fork Industries for the failures to submit renewal applications within 180 days of permit expiration
date.
34. McMurray Fabrics and VT LeeBoy did not submit renewal applications within 180 days of the permit expiration dates. The SIU
renewal applications were signed on 6/18/14 (McMurray Fabrics) and 5/7/13 (VT LeeBoy). See #5 regarding POTW's enforcement
actions to McMurray Fabrics. Note: The POTW reissued VT LeeBoy's IUP on 7/5/13.
35. POTW Inspections: Cataler North America - 12/30/14, VT LeeBoy - 12/16/14, McMurray Fabrics - 12/22/14.
39. POTW performs conventional parameters at the on -site lab and contracts Blue Ridge Labs (metals, phenols, cyanide) and Prism
Laboratories (total phosphorus, total nitrogen, COD) for analyses.
40. McMurray Fabrics and Cataler North America contract Blue Ridge Labs and VT LeeBoy contracts Prism Laboratories, Inc. for
analyses.
41b. VT LeeBoy did not submit the January — June 2014 TTO Certification by the IUP's stipulated date (6/1/14). The TTO
certification was submitted on 7/25/14. Note: The SILT did properly submit the July — December 2014 TTO certification prior to the
IUP's required date (12/7/14).
46. The POTW issued a NOV (dated 11/25/14) to VT LeeBoy for pH violation (November 2014).
SUMMARY AND COMMENTS:
Comments:
The POTW did not enforce the Division approved ERP for VT LeeBoy's failures to submit both a renewal application within 180 days
of expiration date and the January — June 2014 TTO Certification by 6/1/14 (Permit Condition).
The City has hired a new Pretreatment Coordinator.
The Pretreatment staff must ensure that a date tracking system (via emails, date stamping, etc.) is maintained for all submitted SIU
reports.
Requirements:
Initiate Enforcement action to VT LeeBoy for the failure to submit the January —June 2014 TTO certification by the required deadline
according to the Division approved ERP. The POTW's enforcement action should be issued within fourteen (14) days of receipt of the
inspection report.

John E. Skvarla. III
Secretary
Enclosed is a copy of the Pretreatment Compliance Inspection Report for the inspection of the City of
Lincolnton approved Industrial Pretreatment Program on May 1, 2014 by Mr. Wes Bell of this Office.
This report is being issued as a Notice of Violation (NOV)/Notice of Recommendation for Enforcement
(NRE) due to the City's failures to properly implement the Pretreatment Program, violations of North Carolina
General Statute (G.S.) 143-215.1, 15A North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) 2H .0900, and NPDES Permit
No. NC0025496, Part III, Section D. Specifically, the City failed to initiate the following: take enforcement per the
Division approved Enforcement Response Plan (ERP) to address Significant Industrial User (SIU) failures to
submit permit renewal applications within 180 days prior to expiration, renewal of four SIU permits prior to the
expiration dates (all SIU permits expired on March 31, 2014), issue a public notice for a SIU in Significant
Noncompliance (SNC) in 2013 by March 1, 2014, and submit the 2013 Pretreatment Annual Report (PAR) by the
extended date of March 21, 2014 (originally due March 1, 2014). Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A, a civil penalty of
not more than twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) 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
Please note that the City's failures to submit a public notice, take enforcement according to the Division
approved ERP, and submit a completed PAR were previously cited during the June 27, 2013 inspection. In order to
come back into compliance with the requirements of the Pretreatment Program, please issue the following within 14
days of receipt of this letter: appropriate enforcement actions to the SIUs per the ERP, public notice for the S1U in
SNC for 2013, and a completed 2013 PAR.

Dear Mr. Bell,
The City of Lincolnton received your letter regarding "Notice of Violation / Notice of Recommendation
for Enforcement". As requested, we offer this written response to addresses the actions taken by the City
as a result of the Pretreatment Compliance Inspection completed on June 27, 2013.
1. The City published the Public Notice for all SIU's in SNC on July 8d' in the Lincoln Times -News
newspaper.
2. The City has submitted the 2012 PAR. The 2012 PAR was submitted on July 2"d with the
exception of the Public Notice. The Public Notice was submitted on July 22"d.
3. The City has issued new SIU and CIU permits to the three facilities with expired permits. The
permits are in the 30-day review period by the industries and have an effective date of July 5,
2013. The finalized permits will be sent to Sarah Morrison for approval after the review period.
P.O. Box 617 • LINCOLNTON, NORTH CAROLINA 28093.0617
PHONE [phone] • FAx [phone]

4. The City will work diligently to complete and submit the Headworks Analysis and the draft
Sewer Use Ordinance by the October 1, 2013 deadline.
The cause of the non-compliance was due in part to lack of adequate staffing in the Pretreatment
Compliance Technician position. I was serving in the Pretreatment Compliance Technician position until
I was promoted into the Interim W WTP Supervisor\Operator in Responsible Charge of the City of
Lincolnton Wastewater Treatment Plant on December 1, 2012. Due to the demands of this interim
position, I was not able to keep up with all the responsibilities of the Pretreatment Compliance Technician
position. We do not have personnel with adequate training to fill in for the now vacant Pretreatment
Compliance Technician position.
On June 3, 2013, I was officially hired as the WWTP Supervisor. The City has not yet filled the
Pretreatment Compliance Technician position, but this should be resolved in the next few weeks. We
believe once we have this position filled, the City of Lincolnton Pretreatment Program will return to
compliance as it was for many previous years.
I trust this written response provides sufficient information as to what actions the City of Lincolnton has
taken in response to the Notice of Violation/Notice of Recommendation for Enforcement reference above.
If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at [phone].
Si cerely,

Lincoln County, NC
Enclosed is a copy of the Pretreatment Compliance Inspection Report for the inspection of the City of
Lincolnton approved Industrial Pretreatment Program on May 14, 2012 by John Lesley and Wes Bell and
Donna Hood of this office. The inspection found the following discrepancy:
Sampling data for Sabo USA was missing for September 2011. Sabo USA was reported in SNC for zinc
limit violations (33% TRC). If the facility sampled in September 2011, a revision of the PAR will be needed to
determine the SNC status of Sabo USA for zinc. In addition Sabo USA must be issued an enforcement action
for failing to report in a timely manner consistent with the POTW's ERP.
It is requested that a response be submitted to this office which details the findings of the POTW's
investigation of the September 2011 sampling event for Sabo USA and, if needed, a revised SNC determination
must be submitted for inclusion in the 2011 PAR. Please submit your findings to Mr. Bell and Ms. Hood by no
later than June 16, 2012.

Industrial Inspection Comments:
The facility ceased discharge on 3/16/09. All clean up activity is being conducted by GARCO, Inc. from Asheboro, North Carolina.
Process wastewaters held in tanks,
mop water, and other clean up wastes are being taken off site for treatment. Manifests are maintained to
document the removal of all wastewater (except for domestic wastewater). All connections of the manufacturing process to the POTW
have been capped.
Ten staff remain at the facility to oversee the inventory and auction of various tools and process equipment.
No potential threats to the POTW collection system or WWTP were found.
SUMMARY AND COMMENTS:
Comments:
The POTW violated permitted effluent limits for Antimony (1/08) and phenol (2/08). IUP limits were issued for antimony to all textile
related SUIs. Phenol noncompliance was traced to McMurray Mills. McMurray Mills was in violation of the IUP limits for phenol in
1/08.
Requirements:
See the Program Elements Review Section of this report for due dates.
Recommendations:
Submit a drop request for Robert Bosch Tools.

NC DWQ Pretreatment Compliance Inspection (PCI) Form Updated 7/25/07 Page 2

FILE REVIEW COMMENTS:
35.
Mohican Mills: Inspection 12/18/07 McMurray Fabrics: Inspection 12/20/07 Robert Bosc.
37. Robert Bosch is currently revising their Slug/Spill Control Plan and TOMP.
42b. Robert Bosch IUP is based on daily maximum limits instead of production.
43.
Mohican Mills: Violations — 1/17/07 BOD, NH3; 2/21/07 Selenium; 2/22/07 NH3; 4/10/07 BOD, Ni
8/30/07 NH3, Temperature
McMurray Fabrics: Violations — 5/4/07 Cyanide; 7/19/07 Temperature; 10/19/07 Cyanide; 11/27/07 Phenol.
uses water meter readings for discharge flow reporting. This method of flow measurement gives higher than actual flow values.
Robert Bosch Tools: Violations — 4/15/07 COD, Zinc; 6/12/07 Zinc, O&G; 7/19/07 O&G. A Cooling water line broke that
lead to the zinc noncompliance.
SUMMARY AND COMMENTS:
Comments:
1. Paul Lavitt Mills has been dropped from the Pretreatment Program — DWQ Approval 4/3/2007.
2. Antimony and Phenol pass through identified as coming from textile users who process material that has been shipped in from China.
Rinse water contains higher amounts of antimony and phenol. 1 /07 Antimony noncompliance traced to Paul Lavitt Mills doing a tank clean
out after closing operations, 9/07 and 10/07 Antimony noncompliance suspected from South Fork Industries (textile SIU), and the phenol
violations in 11/07 and 12/07 have been traced to increases in phenol at more than one textile SIU.
Requirements:
1. See the Program Elements Review Section of this report for due dates.
2. All monitoring (including flow monitoring) must be representative of the discharge and must be measured with an accuracy within 10% of t
the actual flow. Utilizing water meter readings at McMurray Fabrics may not satisfy this requirement. It is required that a flow study be
conducted by the SIU which documents that the water meter readings and the actual flow is within 10% accuracy.
Recommendations: Increase monitoring at textile SIUs for antimony, phenol, and any other constituents that my cause WWTP impacts.

2. The WWTP design was modified in Mav 2004 by changing the piping to the oxidation ditch outer ring from the inner ring.
Since this change the facility has maintained compliance with permit limits.
3. The Citv's Industrial Pretreatment Program appeared to be well organized and managed.
North Carolina Pretreatment Audit Form

Requirements: Submit a revised LTMP that describes the current WWTP. Because the facility has significantly improved
treatment capability it may be necessary to submit additional site specific data for the development of a HWA (the current
HWA is based upon design criteria). The revised LTMP must be submitted to the Pretreatment Unit for approval by no later
than October 31, 2004.
Recommendations: A written SOP for file review and confidential information procedures should be developed.
