Alchem, Inc_ as a part of its manufacturing process produces Aluminum Sulfate and a sand pmduct that contains very small amounts of Sulfuric Acid and Aluminum Sulfate. Alchem sells the Aluminum Sulfate for water and waste water purification. Alchem has developed a use for the sand product. as Envito- Clear. Workers in the State of Arkansas initially developed the use of Aluminum Sulfate in the poultry industry. The Aluminum reacts with the Phosphates in the poultry litter. This reduces the amount of Phosphate that washes off of the land and into streams. Increased Phosphate causes algae to increase and deplete Oxygen in water ways. Also, poultry litter contains Ammonia which comes out as a gas. The tiny amount of Sulfuric Acid reacts with the Ammonia and produces Ammonium Sulfate which is a beneficial fertilizer. All of this agronomic work is well documented in the literattire and as field work. Also, rule 15A I+ICAC 2T,1103 (5) allows for non -hazardous, residuals to be placed on land. Going to Enforcement Case Assessment Factors 1_ These were not acidic residues. They were our product. There are many instances in North Carolina when Limestone is left in piles to be spread on the farm land. No one characterizes these as Alkaline Residues. 2, This is self explanatory, I This is self explanatory. 4. There is no damage. 3. There was no money saved. This is our product. b. There were no violations, 7• Any prior violation has no bearing on this action. 8. The primary use of this facility is to produce Aluminum Sulfate and Envi.ro-Clear. 9. Our company management has always tried to contain any sand or any other material on site. I would agree that one of the company owners -Wayne Drye has shown a lack of concern. However, Randall Andrews —the other owner, has always tried to keep the facility operating as specified. Randall Andrews has personally lent in excess of $450,000.00 to make environmental improvements. Wayne Drye has left the company as of December 2007, Since that time major improvements have been accomplished. Alchem management does not agree that there was any environmental damage to Storing our product at a farm in Davidson County. We do not know of any savings.

No other commercial litter treatment holds litter pH as low for as long, especially during the critical early weeks of a growout. ENVIRO-CLEAR suppresses ammonia volatilization, reduces bird stress, and improves litter condition and ventilation programs. It also makes litter a, more effective fertilizer by maintaining nitrogen content and reducing phosphorus runoff when the litter is spread on fields. ENVIRO-CLEAR improves the productivity of broiler, breeder, egg and turkey houses and works in conjunction with all best management practices. It also offers growers a flexible program to help reach litter management, environmental and profitability goals. IMPROVED POULTRY OPERATION PERFORMANCE ■Long-lasting pH control in litter and on floors. ENVIRO-CLEAR acidifies litter and floors throughout a growout. It is a buffered acid that resists the rise in pH as manure builds in the litter, holding pH below levels that can stress the birds. ■Low airborne ammonia. ENVIRO-CLEAR consistently outperforms competing litter treatments as a way to prevent high ammonia levels which can have serious impacts on overall poultry health ■Moisture reduction. ENVIRO-CLEAR limits available water in litter which helps control the key condition for ammonia volatilization. ■Less stress on birds. By controlling ammonia, lowering pH and reducing moisture, ENVIRO-CLEAR creates improved poultry house conditions. Studies (available upon request) show that these improved conditions lead to lower mortality and condemnation rates. ■ Improved productivity. Birds raised on Enviro- Clear treated litter show increased weight gain and feed conversion, improving bird performance ■Higher fertilizer value. ENVIRO-CLEAR improves nitrogen retention in litter. Studies show that available nitrogen (N) in treated litter is up to 90% more than in untreated litter (i.e., 800 lb. N1100 tons of litter, the average amount in a 20,000-bird house). ■ Less phosphorus runoff. Litter treated with ENVIRO-CLEAR is low in soluble phosphorus, minimizing phosphorus runoff from fields, but allowing enough phosphorus uptake so crops are in balance with their nitrogen requirements. ■Ease of application. Apply ENVIRO-CLEAR while your equipment is winched out of the way, along with decaking, top dressing and other out -time activities. Use it for short layouts or up to 7 days before chick or bird placement in dry litter conditions. M....... _._...w .. v .... _..._a............. _...., _ HOW ENVIRO-CLEAR WORKS ENVIRO-CLEAR (aluminum sulfate) is a dry acid salt that neutralizes alkalinity. As a buffered compound (i.e., it resists pH change), itholdstotal litter pH below 5 or 6 for an extended time. Litter surface pH is reduced to 3.5 in the short term. This dramatically retards generation of ammonia, which does not form in significant amounts until pH rises above 7. ENVIRO-CLEAR also reduces available water in the litter through hydrolysis as it is activated. The hydrolysis of aluminum is a series of reactions resulting in a controlled generation of acid. This effect is due to the aluminum present. Each aluminum that hydrolyzes generates ENVIRO- CLEAR Product Profile ALCHEM, Inc. 8135 Red Road.

The application rate used should match your goals (see table). It is easy to use: ► Apply it to decaked litter three to seven days before chick placement, during normal out -times. During short out -times, when extra moisture is present, apply it at any time before chick placement. ► Distribute it evenly with a drop spreader, push or power rotary unit or other mechanical spreader. ► For dry litter, leave ENVIRO-CLEAR on the litter surface. For higher moisture conditions, drag it lightly into the upper half -inch of litter, while releveling the floor. ► If your litter is extremely dry, ALCHEM must be activated like any dry acid salt. Contact ALCHEM for the activation process. ►Prepare the house as usual to receive chicks. Ventilation need not begin until just before chick or bird placement. ... ......

WQ0002702 ) AND N.C.G.S. 143-215.1 ) NORTH CAROLINA ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT COMMISSION File No. PC-2008-0026 FINDINGS AND DECISION AND ASSESSMENT OF CIVIL PENALTIES Acting pursuant to delegation provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Director of the Division of Water Quality, I, Andrew H. Pitner, P.G., Environmental Program Supervisor III of the Mooresville Regional Office (MRO) Aquifer Protection Section (APS) of the Division of Water Quality (DWQ), of the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, make the following: I. FINDINGS OF FACT: A. ALCHEM Incorporated (ALCHEM) is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of North Carolina. ALCHEM operates a washwater recycle system and a bauxite residuals disposal (monofill) system at their facility in Rockwell, Rowan County. The registered agent for ALCHEM is Randall F. Andrews. B. Non -Discharge Permit No. WQ0002702 (issued December 28, 2004) regulates the washwater recycle system at the ALCHEM facility and Non -Discharge Permit No. W00016338 (issued December 28, 2006, adjudicated and enforceable from terms of a Settlement Agreement filed on November 27, 2007) regulates the disposal of residuals from the recycle system. Permit WQ0016338 allows ALCHEM to dispose of spent bauxite residuals, after the residuals meet certain conditions, on site. Alternately, 15A NCAC 02T .1103 permits by rule the disposal of residuals in a subtitle D landfill. C. Permit W00002702 condition 6 states, "The residuals generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed of in accordance with General Statute 143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the Division." D. ALCHEM and the Division entered into a Settlement Agreement filed on November 27, 2007, to resolve alleged violations, in addition to the permit adjudication noted above. The Settlement Agreement states, "additional bauxite residuals must be disposed of in a manner consistent with Water Quality General Statutes and the relevant rules promulgated thereunder or applicable Solid Waste Statutes and the relevant rules promulgated thereunder." Disposal of wastewater residuals in a solid waste facility is permitted by rule in accordance with 15A NCAC 02T .1103. E. On or about January 24, 2008, MRO APS staff received a complaint (via phone) of a material being dumped (by a truck with the name ALCHEM on it) on land near Denton, NC, sometime in late December 2007. The material reportedly had been removed from lagoon number 2 at the ALCHEM facility. F. On January 25, 2008, MRO APS staff visited the Denton dumpsite and observed at least 27 piles of material that appeared to be spent bauxite residuals from ALCHEM. Photos and samples of the material were taken. A pH measurement was performed in the MRO lab using a calibrated meter. The sample had a low pH (3.7) typical of ALCHEM spent bauxite. The material was residuals generated at the ALCHEM facility. G. The Division has not issued a permit for the disposal of the residuals at the Denton dump site nor is the dump site a permitted solid waste facility approved to received such residuals pursuant to 15A NCAC 02T .1103. H. Staff costs and expenses associated with observing the violations, defining their nature and bringing enforcement action totaled $793.73. Based upon the above Findings of Fact, I make the following: II. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW: A. ALCHEM is a "person" within the meaning of G.S.143-215.6A pursuant to G.S. 143-212(4).. B. Permit No. WO0016338, was issued on December 28, 2006, and became effective and enforceable on November 27, 2007. Permit WO0002702, was issued on December 28, 2004.and became effective and enforceable on July 5, 2007. C. ALCHEM violated G.S. 143-215.1 and part 6 of permit WQ0002702, by disposing of spent bauxite sand at an unapproved off -site location. D. General Statute 143-215.6A(a) provides that a civil penalty of not more than $25,000.00 per violation may be assessed against a person who violates or fails to act in accordance with the terms, conditions, or requirements of a permit required by N.C.G.S. 143-215.1. E. General Statute 143-215.3(a)(9) provides that the reasonable costs of any investigation, inspection or monitoring survey may be assessed against a person who violates any regulations, standards, or limitations adopted by the Environmental Management Commission or violates any terms or conditions of any permit issued pursuant to N.C.G.S. 143-215.1, or special order or other document issued pursuant to N.C.G.S. 143-215.2. F. The Regional Supervisor of the Mooresville Aquifer Protection Section, Division of Water Quality, pursuant to delegation provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Director of the Division of Water Quality has the authority to assess civil penalties in this matter. Based upon the above Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, I make the following: III. DECISIONS: Pursuant to N.C.G.S. 143-215.6A in determining the amount of the penalty, I have taken into account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and considered all the factors listed in N.C.G.S. 143B-282.1, which are: (1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to private property resulting from the violation; (2) The duration and gravity of the violation; (3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality; (4) The cost of rectifying the damage; . (5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance; (6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally; (7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and (8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures. Accordingly, ALCHEM is hereby assessed a civil penalty of: $ 33,750.00 **for failing to perform to permit standards as required by G.S. 143-215.1. , Permit WQ0002702 condition 6 states, "The residuals generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed of in accordance with General Statute 143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the division." $ 793.73 Investigation and Enforcement costs assessed. $ 34,543.73 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE IV. NOTICE: I reserve the right to assess civil penalties and investigative costs for any continuing violations occurring after the assessment period indicated above. Each day of a continuing violation may be considered a separate violation subject to a maximum $25,000.00 per day penalty. Civil penalties and investigative cost may be assessed for any other rules and statutes for which penalties have not yet been assessed. V. TRANSMITTAL: These Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Decision shall be transmitted to ALCHEM, Incorporated, in accordance with N.C.G.S. 143-215.6(A)(d). .3o• C-)G (Date) i i Andrew H.

Attachments ebh Page 1 Summary On Thursday, January 24, 2008, the Mooresville Regional Office received a complaint of dumping by ALCHEM on a site just north of Denton, NC. Peggy Finley visited the site on January 25, 2008 and observed multiple piles of ALCHEM spent bauxite sand dumped in a field off of Tom's Creek Church Road in Denton, NC (Davidson County). At least 27 piles were counted on the site in two locations of a level grassy field (photos attached). Chronology of Events/Correspondence January 24, 2008 — A report of dumping is received by the MRO. Complainant says dumping occurred in the latter part of December 2007. January 25, 2008 — Staff from the MRO conducted a site visit at the location given by the complainant. Observations and pH readings of the material lead to the conclusion that it is ALCHEM's spent bauxite sand. CHECKLIST FOR PERMIT VIOLATIONS Copies of the Permits (#WQ0016338, WQ0002702) are attached. 2. The violator is ALCHEM, Incorporated. Mr. Randall Andrews is the agent for the company. Mr. Randall Andrews 2042 Buie Philadelphus Road Red Springs, North Carolina 28377 3. This enforcement involves violations of non -discharge Permit conditions and general statute G.S. 143-215.1. 4. Copies of correspondence are attached. 5. Copies of chain -of -custody for samples taken at dump site are attached. Not applicable. 6. The violation is not due to a power failure or by-pass of any treatment facility. 7. Are violation(s) chronic and/or due to a single operational upset? The violation is considered to be unlawful and willful. 8. Were any specific notifications submitted concerning noncompliance? A NOV/NRE was sent on March 25, 2008, which documented the subject permit violations and indicated that an enforcement recommendation would be prepared. 9. Cost of the investigation: 8 hours by Ellen Huffman for preparation of enforcement report at $24.62/hour = 196.96 8 hours by Peggy Finley for preparation of enforcement report at $24.62/hour = 196.96 8 hours by Andrew H.

The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to private property resulting from the violation: Acidic residuals were in an area accessible to the public on private property. 2. The duration and gravity of the violation: The violations were reported to have taken place in the latter part of December 2007. Estimates of the volume of material hauled off site took approximately 4 + working days. There were at least 27 piles found at the site. A site visit on April 18, 2008, by MRO staff concluded clean up is complete at the Denton site. 3. The effect on water/groundwater quality: There is no documented effect on water, public health, and fish or wildlife, as a result of these violations. 4. The cost to rectify the damage: The cost to rectify damage is difficult to determine. A report from ALCHEM included costs that were not associated with the violation. The submitted clean-up plan did not specify, however, as of April 18, 2008, ALCHEM has completed site clean up. 5. Amount of money saved by noncompliance: The amount of money saved is approximately 1$ 9,440. Savings were calculated by using weight from submitted ALCHEM weight tickets and calculated by landfill tipping fees. The tipping fee for Rowan County Landfill is $32.00 per ton. Each of the 27 loads was estimated at 45,000 Ibs (22.5 tons). 6. Whether or not the violations were committed willfully or intentionally: The violations were willful and intentional. ALCHEM knew from permit requirements, previous documentation, and settlement agreement, that disposal options only consist of on -site, landfill, or selling as product filler to Southern States was acceptable. 7. The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority:. The ALCHEM facility has an extensive record of non-compliance, including NOV 10/25/1990, NOV 01/07/2002, NOV 03/15/2002, NOV/NRE 05/12/2003, NOV 08/19/2003, NOV/NRE 01112/2005, NOV/NRE 09/20/2005, NOV/NRE 01106/2006, NOV/NRE 12/20/2006, NOV/NRE 12/20/2006, and currently, under court order. 8. Type of violator and general nature of business: 9 10 11 The permittee manufactures chemicals for water and wastewater treatment. The primary use of the facility is to chemically treat bauxite to produce Alum for water and wastewater treatment. Violator's degree of cooperation (including efforts to prevent) or recalcitrance: The permittee historically has exhibited either a lack of ability or indifference regarding facility conditions and has demonstrated poor management of the bauxite fill area and the recycle system. Note that by April 18, 2008, the dumpsite had been cleaned up as required. Recent management changes at Alchem have resulted in some improvements at the facility in Rockwell, but the company owner has shown lack of concern. Mitigating circumstances: This Office is very concerned with the 22-year history of poor management of ALCHEM's non -discharge facilities. These violations exhibit a continuation of this history regarding compliance with permit conditions, and poor management of the bauxite fill area. See file history included in package.

Pitner, P.G., Environmental Program Supervisor III of the Mooresville Regional Office (MRO) Aquifer Protection Section (APS) of the Division of Water Quality (DWQ), of the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, make the following: FINDINGS OF FACT: A. ALCHEM Incorporated (ALCHEM) is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of North Carolina. ALCHEM operates a washwater recycle system and a bauxite residuals disposal (monofill) system at their facility in Rockwell, Rowan County. The registered agent for ALCHEM is Randall F. Andrews. B. Non -Discharge Permit No. WQ0002702 (issued December 28, 2004) regulates the washwater recycle system at the ALCHEM facility and Non -Discharge Permit No. WQ0016338 (issued December 28, 2006, adjudicated and enforceable from terms of a Settlement Agreement filed on November 27, 2007) regulates the disposal of residuals from the recycle system. Permit WQ0016338 allows ALCHEM to dispose of spent bauxite residuals, after the residuals meet certain conditions, on site. Alternately, 15A NCAC 02T .1103 permits by rule the disposal of residuals in a subtitle D landfill. C. Permit WQ0002702 condition 6 states, "The residuals generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed of in accordance with General Statute 143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the Division." D. ALCHEM and the Division entered into a Settlement Agreement filed on November 27, 2007, to resolve alleged violations, in addition to the permit adjudication noted above. The Settlement Agreement states, "additional bauxite residuals must be disposed of in a manner consistent with Water Quality General Statutes and the relevant rules promulgated thereunder or applicable Solid Waste Statutes and the relevant rules promulgated thereunder." Disposal of wastewater residuals in a solid waste facility is permitted by rule in accordance with 15A NCAC 02T .1103. E. On or about January 24, 2008, MRO APS staff received a complaint (via phone) of a material being dumped (by a truck with the name ALCHEM on it) on land near Denton, NC, sometime in late December 2007. The material reportedly had been removed from lagoon number 2 at the ALCHEM facility. F. On January 25, 2008, MRO APS staff visited the Denton dumpsite and observed at least 27 piles of material that appeared to be spent bauxite residuals from ALCHEM. Photos and samples of the material were taken. A pH measurement was performed in the MRO lab using a calibrated meter. The sample had a low pH (3.7) typical of ALCHEM spent bauxite. The material was residuals generated at the ALCHEM facility. G. The Division has not issued a permit for the disposal of the residuals at the Denton dump site nor is the dump site a permitted solid waste facility approved to received such residuals pursuant to 15A NCAC 02T .1103. H. Staff costs and expenses associated with observing the violations, defining their nature and bringing enforcement action totaled $793.73. Based upon the above Findings of Fact, I make the following: II. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW: A. ALCHEM is a "person" within the meaning of G.S.143-215.6A pursuant to G.S. 143-212(4).. B. Permit No. WQ0016338, was issued on December 28, 2006, and became effective and enforceable on November 27, 2007. Permit WQ0002702, was issued on December 28, 2004 and became effective and enforceable on July 5, 2007. C. ALCHEM violated G.S. 143-215.1 and part 6 of permit WQ0002702, by disposing of spent bauxite sand at an unapproved off -site location. D. General Statute 143-215.6A(a) provides that a civil penalty of not more than $25,000.00 per violation may be assessed against a person who violates or fails to act in accordance with the terms, conditions, or requirements of a permit required by N.C.G.S. 143-215.1. E. General Statute 143-215.3(a)(9) provides that the reasonable costs of any investigation, inspection or monitoring survey may be assessed against a person who violates any regulations, standards, or limitations adopted by the Environmental Management Commission or violates any terms or conditions of any permit issued pursuant to N.C.G.S. 143-215.1, or special order or other document issued pursuant to N.C.G.S. 143-215.2. F. The Regional Supervisor of the Mooresville Aquifer Protection Section, Division of Water Quality, pursuant to delegation provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Director of the Division of Water Quality has the authority to assess civil penalties in this matter. Based upon the above Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, I make the following: III. DECISIONS: Pursuant to N.C.G.S. 143-215.6A in determining the amount of the penalty, I have taken into account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and considered all the factors listed in N.C.G.S. 143B-282.1, which are: (1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to private property resulting from the violation; (2) The duration and gravity of the violation; (3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality; (4) The cost of rectifying the damage; (5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance; (6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally; (7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and (8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures. Accordingly, ALCHEM is hereby assessed a civil penalty of: $ 33,750.00 **for failing to perform to permit standards as required by G.S. 143-215.1. , Permit W00002702 condition 6 states, "The residuals generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed of in accordance with General Statute 143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the division." $ 793.73 Investigation and Enforcement costs assessed. $ 34,543.73 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE IV. NOTICE: I reserve the right to assess civil penalties and investigative costs for any. continuing violations occurring after the assessment period indicated above. Each day of a continuing violation may be considered a separate violation subject to a maximum $25,000.00 per day penalty. Civil penalties and investigative cost may be assessed for any other rules and statutes for which penalties have not yet been assessed. V. TRANSMITTAL: These 'Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Decision shall be transmitted to ALCHEM, Incorporated, in accordance with N.C.G.S. 143-215.6(A)(d). (Date) r i Andrew H. Pitner, P.G.

Attachments ebh Page 1 Summary On Thursday, January 24, 2008, the Mooresville Regional Office received a complaint of dumping by ALCHEM on a site just north of Denton, NC. Peggy Finley visited the site on January 25, 2008 and observed multiple piles of ALCHEM spent bauxite sand dumped in a field off of Tom's Creek Church Road in Denton, NC (Davidson County). At least 27 piles were counted on the site in two locations of a level grassy field (photos attached). Chronology of Events/Correspondence January 24, 2008 — A report of dumping is received by the MRO. Complainant says dumping occurred in the latter part of December 2007. January 25, 2008 — Staff from the MRO conducted a site visit at the location given by the complainant. Observations and pH readings of the material lead to the conclusion that it is ALCHEM's spent bauxite sand. CHECKLIST FOR PERMIT VIOLATIONS Copies of the Permits (#WQ0016338, WQ0002702) are attached. 2. The violator is ALCHEM, Incorporated. Mr. Randall Andrews is the agent for the company. Mr. Randall Andrews 2042 Buie Philadelphus.Road Red Springs, North Carolina 28377 3. This enforcement involves violations of non -discharge Permit conditions and general statute G.S. 143-215.1. 4. Copies of correspondence are attached. 5. Copies of chain -of -custody for samples taken at dump site are attached. Not applicable. 6. The violation is not due to a power failure or by-pass of any treatment facility. 7. Are violation(s) chronic and/or due to a single operational upset? The violation is considered to be unlawful and willful. 8. Were any specific notifications submitted concerning noncompliance? A NOV/NRE was sent on March 25, 2008, which documented the subject permit violations and indicated that an enforcement recommendation would be prepared. 9. Cost of the investigation: 8 hours by Ellen Huffman for preparation of enforcement report at $24.62/hour = 196.96 8 hours by Peggy Finley for preparation of enforcement report at $24.62/hour = 196.96 8 hours by Andrew H.

The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to private property resulting from the violation: Acidic residuals were in an area accessible to the public on private property. 2. The duration and gravity of the violation: The violations were reported to have taken place in the latter part of December 2007. Estimates of the volume of material hauled off site took approximately 4 + working days. There were at least 27 piles found at the site. A site visit on April 18, 2008, by MRO staff concluded clean up is complete at the Denton site. 3. The effect on water/groundwater quality: There is no documented effect on water, public health, and fish or wildlife, as a result of these violations. 4. The cost to rectify the damage: The cost to rectify damage is difficult to determine. A report from ALCHEM included costs that were not associated with the violation. The submitted clean-up plan did not specify, however, as of April 18,;2008, ALCHEM has completed site clean up. 5. Amount of money saved by noncompliance: The amount of money saved is approximately $19,440. Savings were calculated by using weight from submitted ALCHEM weight tickets and calculated by.landfill tipping fees. The tipping fee for Rowan County Landfill is $32.00 per ton. Each of the 27 loads was estimated at 45,000 Ibs (22.5 tons). 6. Whether or not the violations were committed willfully or intentionally: The violations were willful and intentional. ALCHEM knew from permit requirements, previous documentation, and settlement agreement, that disposal options only consist of on -site, landfill, or selling as product filler to Southern States was acceptable. 7. The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority: The ALCHEM facility has an extensive record of non-compliance, including NOV 10/25/1990, NOV 01/07/2002, NOV 03/15/2002, NOV/NRE 05/12/2003, NOV 08/19/2003, NOV/NRE 01/12/2005, NOV/NRE 09/20/2005, NOV/NRE 01/06/2006, NOV/NRE 12/20/2006, NOV/NRE 12/20/2006, and currently, under court order. 8. Type of violator and general nature of business: 9. 10. 11 The permittee manufactures chemicals for water and wastewater treatment. The primary use of the facility is to chemically treat bauxite to produce Alum for water and wastewater treatment. Violator's degree of cooperation (including efforts to prevent) or recalcitrance: The permittee historically has exhibited either a lack of ability or indifference regarding facility conditions and has demonstrated poor management of the bauxite fill area and the recycle system. Note that by April 18, 2008, the dumpsite had been cleaned up as required. Recent management changes at Alchem have resulted in some improvements at the facility in Rockwell, but the company owner has shown lack of concern. Mitigating circumstances: This Office is very concerned with the 22-year history of poor management of ALCHEM's non -discharge facilities. These violations exhibit a continuation of this history regarding compliance with permit conditions, and poor management of the bauxite fill area. See file history included in package. Cost to the State of the enforcement procedure: The cost to the State in bringing about this enforcement action is as follows: 8 hours by Ellen Huffman for preparation. of enforcement report at $24.62/hour = 196.96 8 hours by Peggy Finley for preparation of enforcement report at $24.62/hour = 196.96 8 hours by Andrew H.

HISTORY The Rowan County Solid Waste Landfill has been in operation since December 1989. It is a 415 ton per day landfill. The landfill has a life expectancy of years at our current disposal rates. The landfill has a clay liner and an HDPE liner. This liner is to protect the groundwater from being contaminated by the solid waste. Any water that collects on the liner is collected and held in a lagoon. It is then pumped to a waste water facility for treatment. The landfill is self-supporting and does not operate from taxes.

No other commercial litter treatment holds litter pH as low for as long, especially during the critical early weeks of a growout. ENVIRO-CLEAR suppresses ammonia volatilization, reduces bird stress, and improves litter condition and ventilation programs. It also makes litter .a more effective fertilizer by maintaining nitrogen content and reducing phosphorus runoff when the litter is spread on fields. ENVIRO-CLEAR improves the productivity of broiler, breeder, egg and turkey houses and works in conjunction with all best management practices. It also offers growers a flexible program to help reach litter management, environmental and profitability goals. �..,k..... ._ �..w._._.. , ., ..... _ _. _ , .... _..._...... z�......, ... �_........ .... ,.r . IMPROVED POULTRY OPERATION PERFORMANCE ■Long-lasting pH control in litter and on floors. ENVIRO-CLEAR acidifies litter and floors throughout a growout. It is a buffered acid that resists the rise in pH as manure builds in the litter, holding pH below levels that can stress the birds. ®Low airborne ammonia. ENVIRO-CLEAR consistently outperforms competing litter treatments as a way to prevent high ammonia levels which can have serious impacts on overall poultry health ■Moisture reduction. ENVIRO-CLEAR limits available water in litter which helps control the key condition for ammonia volatilization. ■Less stress on birds. By controlling ammonia, lowering pH and reducing moisture, ENVIRO-CLEAR creates improved poultry house conditions. Studies (available upon request) show that these improved conditions lead to lower mortality and condemnation rates. HOW ENVIRO-CLEAR WORKS ■ Improved productivity. Birds raised on Enviro- Clear treated litter show increased weight gain and feed conversion, improving bird performance ■Higher fertilizer value. ENVIRO-CLEAR improves nitrogen retention in litter. Studies show that available nitrogen (N) in treated litter is up to 90% more than in untreated litter (i.e., 800 lb. N/100 tons of litter, the average amount in a 20,000-bind house). ■ Less phosphorus runoff. Litter treated with ENVIRO-CLEAR is low in soluble phosphorus, minimizing phosphorus runoff from fields, but allowing enough phosphorus uptake so crops are in balance with their nitrogen requirements. ■Ease of application. Apply ENVIRO-CLEAR while your equipment is winched out of the way, along with decaking, top dressing and other out -time activities. Use it for short layouts or up to 7 days before chick or bird placement in dry litter conditions. ENVIRO-CLEAR (aluminum sulfate) is a dry acid salt that neutralizes alkalinity. As a buffered compound (i.e., it resists pH change), itholdstotal litter pH below 5 or 6 for an extended time. Litter surface pH is reduced to 3.5 in the short term. This dramatically retards generation of ammonia, which does not form in significant amounts until pH rises above 7. ENVIRO-CLEAR also reduces available water in the litter through hydrolysis as it is activated. The hydrolysis of aluminum is a series of reactions resulting in a controlled generation of acid. This effect is due to the aluminum present. Each aluminum that hydrolyzes generates ENVIRO- CLEAR Product Profile ALCHEM, Inc. 8135 Red Road.

Below you will find the process that will be used to remove above mentioned sand. PLANNED REMOVAL Alchem will contract Black's Excavating in Salisbury, NC for 5 Quad Axle Dump Trucks; we will rent a 953 CAT Track Loader from Mays Equipment in Lexington, NC for the purpose of loading the sand into the Dump Trucks. NEW LOCATION of SAND All loads of Bauxite Sand will be brought back to Alchem for processing. THOMASVILLE, NC LOCATION After removal of the Bauxite Sand from the property, Alchem will remove 4-5 inches of soil where the sand was sitting; we will then replace the soil with a topsoil, lime and reseed the area. Alchem will have a TCLP done on the soil removed and water samples from any creek or waterway around the above mentioned property, when the results are in we will forward all results to DENR Mooresville Office. FINAL NOTE Andrew, as I told you during our phone conversation last week, these loads of sand were sent to Thomasville back in November of 2007 when Alchem, Inc was still under the Management of Wayne Drye, VP. In our conversation I also informed you that Mr. Drye still to this date retains 21% of Alchem, Inc and is still looked upon as an Officer of this company. He is also responsible bylaw for 21 % of the cleanup cost of Alchem, Inc. I also have every reason to believe that this current situation (sand) was set up by Mr. Drye knowing he was going to loose his active roll at Alchem, Inc once- I came into the picture. Mr. Drye swore vengeance so I am sure this will not be the last retaliatory act/call you will receive from him or someone affiliated with him. He phoned the office again on April 2, 2008 at 3:57pm and asked Denise to relay a message to me, in that message he called me names and said that "THE BEST IS YET TO COME". What Mr. Drye doesn't understand is that he is incriminating himself from a legal standpoint. As I am aware that this is not your concern or issue to deal with, however I feel it is sad that State Agencies are being used by Mr. Drye and his affiliates for his own personal grievances. Knowing this is not your issue, I do however want you to be aware of the situation. Thank you for your time, attention and understanding. Best Regards, ROBERT A.

Andrews, Registered Agent RE: Inspection Report and Notice of Violation with Recommendation for Enforcement NOV-2008-SC-0134 Non -discharge Permit No. WQ0002702 Industrial Recycle -Bauxite Process and, Non -discharge Permit No. W00016338 Bauxite Residuals Monofill Alchem - Red Road Plant Rockwell, Rowan County Dear Ms. Andrews: On January 29, 2008, staff from the Aquifer Protection Section (APS) conducted a follow-up inspection of your facility. As you are aware, a previous inspection was conducted on December 6, 2007. Enclosed you will find a report for the January inspections covering the subject permits as well as the Settlement Agreement, which was filed on November 27, 2007. At the time of the inspections, it was evident that some of the much -needed work had been accomplished and that other site improvements were in progress. The Division appreciates this effort, however, there are conditions in violation of the subject permits as well as the Settlement Agreement. SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT CONDITIONS This office wishes to emphasize the condition that is in violation as well as upcoming deadlines and items that were established in that agreement: Within 30 days of the execution of this Agreement, Petitioner will immediately create two (2) feet of freeboard space in all storage lagoons. Additional bauxite residuals must be disposed of in a manner consistent with Water Quality General Statutes and the relevant rules promulgated thereunder or applicable Solid Waste Statutes and the relevant rules promulgated thereunder. The Agreement was filed on November 27, 2007. Site conditions related to freeboard on January 29, 2008 were in violation of this condition. 2. Petitioner shall inspect and repair all three storage lagoons on site by June 1, 2008, with site work monitored, tested and certified by a licensed professional engineer to ensure proper construction. As of January 29, 2008, considerable progress has been made towards cleanout of Lagoon 2; Lagoons 1 and 3 remain overfilled. NorthCarolina Naturally Division of Water Quality / Aquifer Protection Section / Mooresville Regional Office Phone: (704) 663-1699 Fax: (704) 663-6040 610 East Center Street Suite 301, Mooresville, NC 28115 Customer Service 1-877-623-6748 Internet: muw.ncwaterguality.orq Alchem NOWNRE February 21, 2008 Page 2 of 3 3. On or before June 1, 2008, the Petitioner will install sampling ports in the pipes between the wash system and the storage lagoons. Additionally, Petitioner will provide sampling data to the Mooresville Regional Office of DWQ that the bauxite residuals being transferred from the wash system to the mixer and/or storage lagoons and eventually to the berm fill area, have achieved the prescribed pH level. As of January 29, 2008, no sampling ports have been installed, no mixer has been installed, and it is not apparent that the process has been fixed to achieve prescribed pH levels. Permit # WQ0002702- inspection findings related to permit conditions 1. Freeboard in all of the lagoons shall not be less than two feet at any time (also per the Settlement Agreement, this shall be accomplished by December 27, 2007, and maintained beyond that time). Freeboard in all three lagoons is still less than the required two feet, though significant cleanout has occurred at lagoon #2 and some trenches were created around the edges of the other lagoons. 2. Waste -level gauges, to monitor levels in the settling lagoons shall be installed within 60 days of issuance of this permit, We feel this is implicit in the above freeboard requirement and will work with you regarding their installation during lagoon clean outs. We expect that permanent gauges will be installed as the lagoons are repaired. 3. A protective vegetative cover shall be established and maintained on the earthen embankments around lagoons #1, #2 and #3, berm, pipe runs, erosion control areas and surface water diversions. Vegetation exists in some, but not all of these areas. 4. Within 90 days of permit issuance, the recycle system shall be required to keep the recycled water at a pH of not less than 6.0 Standard Units as it leaves the wash area and goes to the storage lagoon. Lagoon 3 was actively receiving slurry at the time of the inspection. This also relates to the Settlement Agreement condition regarding sampling ports and onsite residuals transfers. 5. During cleanout of the lagoons, a pH reading shall be taken and documented for every load of material removed from the lagoon. This documentation shall be conveyed to the Division within (30 days) of the cleanout. This item is related to the Settlement Agreement items of creation of freeboard and lagoon inspection and repair. During the inspection, records were provided for loads removed from the site to Southern States and to Industrial and Agricultural Chemicals, Inc. Permit # W00016338- inspection findings related to permit conditions The stormwater basin water retention footprint should extend only to the extent of the berm area that has been re -enforced to retain stormwater as reflected in the as -built drawings. Water in the basin should not be stored beyond that point of the berm as noted in the Delta Engineering report dated June 15, 2007 (see figures tab). During the January inspection, it was noted that water is ponded in areas extending northward beyond the reinforced stormwater basin. It also appeared that the berm was allowing seepage from one location in the reinforced area and in other areas beyond the reinforced area where the berm had been reconstructed. This indicates that the berm is not functioning as proposed. See attached photos. 2. It has been noted that area rain records do not support the amount of water currently collected in the stormwater basin. The stormwater basin, which collects rainwater from the fill area, may be Alcl.em NOV/NRE . e February 21, 2008 R Page 3 of 3 used as a source for makeup water in the water recycle system but it is not a part of the wash water/recycle system. No water other than stormwater is allowed in the stormwater basin. Please be advised that this Office is considering sending a recommendation for enforcement action to the Director of the Division of Water Quality for the above mentioned violations of Non - discharge Permits #WQ0016338, #WQ0002702, and the Settlement Agreement. If you have an explanation for the violations that you wish to present, please include it in the requested response. Your explanation will be reviewed and if an enforcement action is still deemed appropriate, your explanation will be forwarded to the Director along with the enforcement package for his consideration. Be advised that G.S. 143-215.6A provides for a civil penalty assessment of not more that twenty- five thousand dollars ($25,000.00), or twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) per violation, per day when the violation is of a continuing nature, against any person who fails to abide by the conditions of the permit (G.S. 143-215.1). It is requested that you respond in writing to this Notice indicating ALCHEM's plans to correct these violations. The plan should detail restoration activities (with specific timelines for completion) and measures you will take to prevent recurrence. Please address your response to Ms. Ellen Huffman by no later than March 21, 2008. The enclosed. inspection report should be self-explanatory. Should you have any questions, please call me at 704/235-2180. Sincerely, Andrew H. Pitner, P.G.

Telephone No. 704/279-7908 Reason for Inspection ROUTINE COMPLAINT X FOLLOW-UP OTHER Inspection Summary: Staff from the Mooresville Regional Office, Aquifer Protection Section (Andrew Pitner, Ellen Huffman, Peggy Finley and Kevin Bubak) conducted a follow-up inspection on January 29, 2008. Current site managers Bob and Jason Wolcott were also present. Cleanout of one lagoon continues but the facility is still not in compliance with elements of the settlement agreement. Laboratory certification for field parameters needs to be obtained from the DWQ Laboratory Certification Branch. Stormwater berm is not functioning as proposed. Is a follow-up inspection necessary X yes no Date of inspection January 29, 2008 4 ALCHEM inspection January 29, 2008 Trnatmant Page 2 It is unclear that the water washing process was ever installed as previously stated. The water washing process (currently described as taking place inside the reactor after batch production) is still producing recycle water that has a pH of <4.0. New management (as of November 2007), has neutralizing chemicals on site, however, they are currently not using them. Depending on the design of a new process, a permit modification request may be necessary. Residuals Storage Lagoons The freeboard in all three lagoons is still less than the required two feet. Lagoon #1 is still overfilled and mounded with bauxite residuals. It is evident that a large amount of material has been removed from lagoon #2. Lagoon #2 is currently not being used. The trench that was behind lagoon #2 has been filled as requested. Lagoon #3 is full and is still receiving slurry via a hose. Trenches in the material have created some freeboard for this lagoon since the last inspection (Dec. 6, 2007). See attached photos. Waste level gauges have not been installed. A vegetative cover around the lagoons has not been established. The clay liners have not been inspected or repaired because none of the lagoons have been cleaned out (deadline is June 1, 2008, per the Settlement Agreement). An active water supply well is located less than 100 feet from lagoon #1. Transport of Residuals Billing records indicate that spent bauxite has been hauled off -site to Industrial and Agricultural Chemicals, Inc., and to Southern States, Statesville, NC. A spill plan (required for transport) was not reviewed during this inspection but there should be a copy of such a plan in each transport vehicle. The transport vehicle(s) were not inspected for proper maintenance. The current manager, Bob Wolcott, stated that federal rules does not require him to do so, however, permit condition 1-11 has provisions for transport and best management practices, which include a spill plan, can be found under the General Statutes 15A NCAC 02T .1110 (attached). Residuals Fill Area Much grading has been done in the fill area. The work is consistent with the work plan that was submitted to the regional office. Management stated that the cement pad and storage tanks, recently built in the disposal area, are going to be torn down and rebuilt. Stormwater Basin The recently reconstructed stormwater basin, which collects rainwater from the spent bauxite fill area, may be used for makeup water in the water recycle system (but it is not a part of the wash water/recycle system). Photos of the lagoon on January 29, 2008 show that water levels are much higher than in December 2007. At the time of the inspection, it was rE ALCHEM inspection January 29, 2008 Page 3 apparent that the impounded water extended farther to the north than the engineered portion of the berm. Current management reported that the pH remains in a range <4.0. Evidence of seepage at the base of the berm was visible on the backside of the berm indicating failure of the newly repaired/reinforced section as well as water seepage through the old (un- reinforced) section that was not approved to hold back stormwater. Recordkeeping Documentation was provided on the volume and pH of the bauxite residuals that have been removed from lagoon #2. Comments on the documentation related to the disposal of these residuals have been made under Transport of Residuals. Groundwater Monitoring Wells Review of report forms GW-59 and the associated lab reports have been submitted on schedule, but form GW-59A has not been included. The groundwater samples are being analyzed for the required parameters but there has been significant variability in the reported concentrations of those parameters. There has also been variability between the results obtained from samples collected by Alchem staff and those collected at the same time by regional office staff. The monitoring wells are not identified in accordance with the permit. The new well, which was installed upgradient of the lagoons, should be identified as MW-3. MW-1 is the well nearest lagoon #3 and MW-2 is the well nearest lagoon #2. Compliance reports indicate that the wells are not being sufficiently purged prior to sampling. This may be a factor in the variable sampling results that have been reported. Based on data collected since the wells were installed in July 2002 and up to the present, the pH concentrations in both MW-1 and MW-2 have decreased from an average 5.5 to 4.5 S.U. This suggests that the groundwater has been impacted by the permitted activities. Compliance Monitorin_g Alchem does not have field parameter certification from the DWQ Laboratory Certification Branch for groundwater and lagoon sampling or pH. Confusion exists as to the designation, location and depth of the on -site water supply wells. Bob Wolcott agreed to provide a map with the location of all on -site water supply wells, as well the as their depth and status. Complaints This office has received telephone calls and a -mails from a neighbor who has concerns about the impact of Alchem's operations on local air and water quality. Regional office staff has responded by collecting groundwater samples from water supply wells in the area surrounding the facility.
