Address: 500 Service Rd 1-85 Salisbury, NC 28144 Contact: Allen Robey; SHE Manager Phone: (336) 847-5061 This facility is primarily engaged in the manufacturing of raw materials for the personal care industry. The products are utilized by other industrial facilities to produce shampoos, body washes, beauty bars, conditioners, and lotions. The source of the residuals is derived from the clean-up of a batch reactor (i.e. waste activated sludge) and boil outs between batches. The SIC Code for this facility is 2843. These are the materials to be land applied and are beneficial as a soil amendment for agricultural operations when managed properly. Based on laboratory analysis, there is no indication that the product would contain significant amounts of harmful materials if applied, based on agronomic rates or be classified as a hazardous material. A copy of an analysis for the material is provided as an attachment for your review. TRS manages sufficient resources to land apply the residuals from this facility at agronomic rates based on the guidelines of the existing permit. The estimated volume of residuals to be land applied from this facility is approximately 50 dry tons (780,000 gallons) per year based on the analysis provided.

Comments: * The reported flow volumes currently include the volume sent to the City of Salisbury (permitted yp to 60, 000 gpd). The remainder is the true effluent volume, which does not appear to have exceeded the 18, 000 gpd limit. The NDMRs occasional show days when the total {low exceeds 78, 000 gpd (the permit maximum), but the permittee has been able to show the elevated rates are typically due to reduced flow the day prior combined with large rain events, and/or a delayed meter reading (performe manuall . * * A field parameter certification is required. Per conversation with, Mr. Robey and Mr. White, the previous concerns expressed about the pH meter calibration method and instrument used have been addressed.

Additional Comments: Production volume at the facility is expected to increase significantly over the next few years. Please contact staff at the Mooresville Regional Office (704-663-1699) or permitting staff at the Central Office in Raleigh (littp.11portal.ncdenr.org/web/wo/aps/lau/staft) to discuss your permit prior to increases in volume and/or plant upgrades, as it is likely that a permit modification will be required.

The facility was recently visited in March of 2015 and comments noted during that inspection were quickly addressed. The permittee appears to do a good job maintaining the plant, fields, wells and their records. Per our conversation, the plant production (surfactants) is expected to grow significantly or the next 5+ years; at which time, they will likely have to increase flow to Salisbury and perhaps do some plant upgrades - either of which will require a permit modification.

The MRO is requesting w/ this renewal that Review & Compliance boundaries be established and maps submitted: however, additional MWs may not be required at this time. The most recent soils had been collected in Julv 2015, permittees had forgotten to retrieve from website and were to look into that.

The inspection included a review of: records, the residuals processing and storage areas and the application sites. I would like to thank you and your staff for your time during the inspection. Per conversation and email recent freeboard concerns from weather conditions have been addressed and freeboard levels are again > 2 feet. In addition, data questions were adequately addressed during our meeting or in subsequent email; however, there are a couple of points worth noting to maintain program compliance: . • Address effluent pH meter calibration concern noted under the Recordkeeping comments section on pg. 4 of the report. • The permit expiration date is May 31, 2016. Per permit requirements, a renewal application is due within 180 days of expiration. The attached report should be self-explanatory; however, should you have questions, please contact me by phone (704-235-2184) or email (maria.schutteAncdenr. ov).

Freeboard issues were adequately addressed and lagoon levels were > 2ft, the treatment system appeared to be operating properly and the disposal fields appeared to be in excellent condition, at the time of inspection. Data records were found to be in very good order. The MRO had a couple of data related questions which were either addressed at the meeting or via follow-up email. The MRO is communicating with Central Office (CO) in Raleigh to clarify a continuing flow reporting question. Please note: • —The MRO has some concerns aboutthe effluent pH -measurement. __The meter calibration—c oes not meet method requirements. Please see the Recordkeening comments section on pg. 4 for a more detailed explanation. • The permit expiration date is May 31st, 2016. A renewal application is due 180 days prior to expiration and may be found at: http://portal.nedenr.orghveb/wa/aps/lau/applications.

Innospec has taken proactive measures in anticipation of the upcoming rain events. We have rented approximately 60,000 gallons of storage; these tanks are currently being filled. This should give us approximately 6 more inches of freeboard. This water will be sent back through the treatment system once we gain freeboard. In addition, the City of Salisbury/Rowan Utilities has given us a temporary interim permit good for 30 days that allows an increase in the TSS we can send them from 75 pounds per day to 300 pounds per day.

Freeboard in our aerated lagoons has dropped below our permit limit of two feet. As of this morning our freeboard level is 1'10". Due to freezing temperatures we are not able to maintain waste water flow to the city or discharge to spray fields. We are experiencing issues with our chemical feed lines freezing up attributed to insulation problems and cold weather. Insulation issues around the chemical feed lines is being addressed by repairing a failed heat trace line and by installing an electrically heated blanket on a chemical feed tote.

We have found a small leak in a flange in the line that gravity feeds from the ponds to the flocculation tank. 2. The leak is contained in a manner to prevent ground contamination and we are pumping any accumulated water back to the wastewater system. 3. In order to repair the leak, we need to drain the ponds down at least 24" from current levels. This will take approximately 25 days at best flow rates. 4. Once the levels are down, we can plug the discharge pipe of the pond and make the repair. There is no valve between the leak and the discharge pipe of the lagoons, so a plug must be used to isolate the line. 5. The water leaving the ponds is continuing to go through the flocculation tank and clarifier, so we do not anticipate this issue to cause us to violate any permit limits. I will contact you once we get to the point where we can plug the line and make the repair. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call me.

CAUSE OF THE VIOLATION(S) The violations are the result of Finetex's improper following of permit conditions including poor operation of spray field #2 resulting in poor field conditions. These conditions include: • the by-pass of untreated wastewater of the treatment facilities (clarifier by-pass) • improper buffer conditions which appeared to cause runoff to enter into the eastern property buffer. Hydrology indicators suggest that runoff has consistantly flowed off the spray filed and into the buffer area. • poor field conditions barren of vegetation and/or inundated with standing wastewater. • areas of the spray field were without suitable vegetative cover. • records indicating application of wastewater to the irrigation field during inclement weather on multiple occasions. • wastewater runoff from the spray field. • records indicating exceedances of a cumulative loading rate of 29.12 inches over any twelve month period or at an instananeous rate not to exceed 0.25 inches per hour on the seven, 37,000 square foot spray irrigation sites. • tire ruts and other evidence of compaction were observed in several areas of the field. • missing groundwater sampling data for Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) required to be collected every November. • no formal inspection log. B. THE DEGREE AND EXTENT OF HARM CAUSED BY THE VIOLATION(S) There was no permanent harm to the environment documented as a result of the poor operations of spray field 2. There was runoff observed at the time of investigation and the field had evidence of over application in excessive amounts. C. DURATION OF THE VIOLATIONS) The violations began sometime on or after September 28, 1998 and ended on October 1, 1999. Page 2 D. EFFECT OF VIOLATION(S) ON WATER, PUBLIC HEALTH AND FISH OR WILDLIFE, There is no documented effect on water, public health, fish or wildlife as a result of the violations. E. EFFECTIVENESS OF ANY PREVENTIVE OR RESPONSIVE MEASURE TAKEN BY THE VIOLATOR After receiving the NOV with notice to cease use of field #2, Finetex immediately suspended use of field #2 and hired McConnell and As consultant engineers, to advise them on correcting the problem. Jacobs Environmental was contracted to advise Finetex on repair recommendations, to re -calculate field loading capacities, and to recommend changes in operational proceedures and best management practices for the type of spray system. F. COST OF RECTIFYING THE DAMAGE OR INFORMATION THAT WOULD BE NEEDED TO DETERMINE THE COST, SUCH AS PROCESS RATES, CLEAN UP COSTS Finetex responded quickly by repairing and improving field 2 to re -instate the field into the existing spray treatment system. G. THE ALLEGED VIOLATOR'S PREVIOUS RECORD OF COMPLIANCE OR NONCOMPLIANCE Finetex has not been assessed prior penalties for violations of their non -discharge permit. H. MITIGATING, AGGRAVATING FACTORS, IF ANY It should be noted that Finetex, upon realization of the systems operational failure, promptly retained the expertise needed to re-evaluate the spray system and repair field #2 to working conditions as well as rewriting Standard Operating Procedures and sending more personnel to Operator Certification training. In addition, Finetex plans to monitor the newly renovated system and continue to make operational improvements as needed.

C. On September 30, 1999, and October 1, 1999, DWQ staff from the Mooresville Regional Office observed poor operating conditions at the wastewater treatment facility and at the 6 acre spray irrigation field. D. Said permit contains the following relevl nt conditions: • Part I, Condition 6 states the by-pass of untreated wastewater of the treatment facilities is prohibited. Bypass of equipment is considered a bypass of the treatment facilities. • Part I, Condition 7.b states The following buffers shall be maintained: 150 feet between wetted area and property lines. Runoff appeared to enter into the eastern property buffer and hydrology indicators suggest that runoff has consistantly flowed off the spray filed and into the buffer area. Finetex Findings and Decisions Page 2 • Part II condition 1 states that the facilities should be maintained at all times. The facility did not appear to be operated and maintained properly. The spray field was in poor condition and many areas were barren of vegetation and/or inundated with standing wastewater. Part II condition 3 states that a suitable vegetative cover shall be maintained. Several areas of the spray field were without suitable vegetative cover. • Part H condition 4 states that irrigation shall not be performed during inclement weather or when ground is in a condition that will cause runoff. Based on application records, Finetex applied wastewater to the irrigation field during inclement weather on multiple occasions. • Part II condition 5 states that adequate measures shall be taken to prevent wastewater runoff from the spray field. • Part II condition 7 states that the application rate shall not exceed a cumulative loading rate of 29.12 inches over any twelve month period or at an instananeous rate not to exceed 0.25 inches per hour on the seven, 37,000 square foot spray irrigation sites. • Part II condition 10 states that no traffic or equipment shall be allowed on the disposal area except while installation occurs or while normal maintenance is being performed. Tire ruts and other evidence of compaction were observed in several areas of the field. • Part IV condition 2 states that the existing monitoring wells shall be sampled for Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) every November. The November 8, 1998 groundwater quality sampling and analyses report submitted to the Division's Groundwater Section did not contain the laboratory analytical results for the VOC analysis. • Part V condition 2 states that the Penn ittee or his designee shall inspect the wastewater treatment and disposal facilities to prevent malfunctions and deterioration; operator errors and discharges which may cause or lead to the release of wastes to the environment. While Finetex possesses a form documenting equipment repair activities, an inspection log was not available. E.

Atwood Dear Mr. Atwood: NCDENR NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT ANo NATURAL RESOURCES DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY October 25, 1999 Subject: Notice of Violation and Recommendation for Enforcement Permit No. WQ0001077 and NCGS 143-215.1 Finetex, Inc., 775 Hackett Street Spencer, Rowan County Finetex, Incorporated (Finetex) was issued Permit No. WQ0001077, effective April 20, 1998, for the continued operation of a 18,000 GPD spray irrigation and disposal facility. Based upon site visits conducted by personnel from this Office on September 30th and October 1st 1999, the Division has reason to believe that you are responsible for activities resulting in noncompliance with North Carolina Law and the subject Permit. In particular, the following violations of the existing permit conditions were observed: Violation of Permit Condition "I.1." — This Office's file does not contain a certification from a professional engineer (PE) certifying that the drip field facility was installed in accordance with -the permit, the approved plans and specifications. The facility did not appear to be constructed in accordance with the application specifications. In particular, the wastewater distribution system in the application was designed at a pump rate of 30 gpm, while 60 gpm pumps were installed at the facility. In addition, some of the drip lines were placed on semi -impervious to impervious surfaces such as the gravel driveway. You should be aware that Permit Condition "VI. 1." states, "The permit shall become voidable unless the facilities are constructed in accordance with the conditions of this permit, the approved plans and specifications, and other supporting data." Violation of Permit Condition 4. — During the site visit on September 30th DWQ staff observed that the clarifier, the flocculation tank and the polymer feed system were not in operation. During a subsequent phone conversation, Mr. Atwood stated that the clarifier and flocculation equipment were not utilized if the wastewater were to be disposed of through irrigation. The permit was issued with the understanding that this equipment would be utilized in the treatment of the wastewater prior to irrigation. Not operating this equipment is considered a bypass of the treatment 919 North Main Street, Mooresville, North Carolina 28115 Telephone 704-663-1699 FAX 704-663-6040 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper s. Finetex. Inc. - NOV October 25 1999 Page 2 of 3 facilities and is prohibited by the permit. In addition, a small stream of cloudy wastewater was observed flowing from an earthen berm located at the western corner of the aeration basins. The stream flowed approximately 50 feet before infiltrating into the soil. Watermarks around the stream indicate that the flow was greater prior to the site visit. Wastewater may be bypassing the treatment system through holes or other imperfections in the earthen liner enclosing the aeration basins. Violation of Permit Condition IT 7. b)" — During the September 30t' site visit, DWQ personnel observed a mixture of stormwater and wastewater flowing off of the easternmost drip irrigation field. The runoff appeared to enter into the eastern property buffer. Hydrology indicators in the area, suggest that runoff has consistently flowed off of the drip field and into the buffer area. Violation of Permit Condition "II. 1." - The facility did not appear to be operated and maintained properly. The drip irrigation field was in poor condition. Many areas were barren of vegetation and/or inundated with standing water. Several drip lines were observed to be overlapping (should be 31 feet apart). The sample results of the treatment system effluent report wastewater constituent concentrations in excess of the achievable limits specified in part "V. 14." of the July 1997 drip irrigation system application. In addition, the clarifier and flocculation units were not in operation. Violation of Permit Condition I'll. 3." — Several areas within the drip irrigation fields were without suitable vegetative cover. Violation of Permit Condition I'll. 4." — Based on the application records submitted by Finetex to this Office, Finetex has applied to the irrigation fields during inclement weather on multiple occasions. From May through August 1999, Finetex applied to at least one irrigation field during 20 of the 28 working days in which precipitation was reported. Mr. Atwood stated that the drip field had . received wastewater during similar circumstances prior to this Office's September 30'' site visit. The condition of the drip field observed during the September 30`h site visit was indicative of irrigation during inclement weather. Violation of Permit. Condition "II.5." — Runoff was observed on September 30'' from the easternmost application field of the drip irrigation system. Violation of Permit Condition I'll. 7." — Drip lines that are not separated by 31 feet or are operated at pumping rates above the design rate of the drip irrigation system (as described in the 1997 application for the drip fields) may exceed the application rate of 0.25 inches per hour. Comment regarding Permit Condition I'll. 10." — While equipment is allowed on the application fields during maintenance activities, the permittee should be careful when operating the equipment in order to avoid compaction of the soils that may retard and reduce the infiltration rates of the soils in the application fields. Several tire ruts and -other evidence of compaction were observed in the drip irrigation fields. Violation of Permit Condition "IV. 2." — The November 1998 groundwater quality sampling and analysis report submitted to the Division's Groundwater Section did not contain the laboratory analytical results for the volatile organic compounds analysis. Finetex Inc - NOV October 25 1999 Page 3 of 3 Violation of Permit Condition "V. 2." — The permittee does not appear to be adequately inspecting the wastewater treatment facilities. While Finetex possessed a form documenting equipment repair activities, an adequate inspection log was not available. Finetex should be inspecting the irrigation fields as well as the equipment.

Preston Howard, Jr., P.E., Director 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. Finetex is an incorporated business organized and existing under the laws of the State of North Carolina. B. On April 20, 1998, DWQ issued Water Quality Permit No. WQ00031077 to Finetex which allows the treatment and spray irrigation of industrial wastewater on two permitted sites located in Rowan County, North Carolina. C. On September 30, 1999, DWQ staff from the Mooresville Regional Office observed poor operating conditions at the wastewater treatment facility and at the 6 acre drip/spray irrigation field. D. Said permit contains the following relevant conditions: Part I, Condition 6 states the by-pass of untreated wastewater of the treatment facilities is prohibited. Bypass of equipment is considered a bypass of the treatment facilities. • Part I, Condition 7.b states The following buffers shall be maintained: 150 feet between wetted area and property lines. Runoff appeared to enter into the eastern property buffer and Hydrology indicators suggest that runoff has consistantly flowed off the spray filed and into the buffer area. • Part II condition 1 states that the facilities should be maintained at all times. The facility did not appear to be operated and maintained properly. The Spray filed was in poor condition and many areas were barren of vegetation and/or inundated with standing wastewater. • Part II condition 3 states that A suitable vegetative cover shall be maintained. Several areas of the spray field were without suitable vegetative cover. • Part II condition 4 states that Irrigation shall not be performed during inclement weather or Owhen ground is in a condition that will cause runoff. Based on application records, Finetex has applied to the irrigation fields during inclement weather on multiple occasions. • Part II condition 5 states that adequate measures shall be taken to prevent wastewater runoff from the spray field. • Part II condition 7 states that the application rate shall not exceed a cumulative loading rate of 29.12 inches over any twelve month period at an instananeous rate not to exceed 0.25 inches per hour on the 7, 37,000 square foot spray irrigation sites. • Part II condition 10 states No traffic or equipment shall be allowed on the disposal area except while installization occurs or while normal maintenance is being performed. Tire ruts and other evidence of compaction were observed inseveral areas of the field. • Part IV condition 2 states that the existing monitoring wells shall be sampled for Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) every November. The November 8, 1998 groundwater quality sampling and analyses report submitted to the Divisions Groundwater Section did not contain the laboratory analytical results for the VOC analysis. • Part V condition 2 states that the Permittee or his designee shall inspect the wastewater treatment and disposal facilities to prevent malfunctions and deterioration, operator errors and discharges which may cause or lead to the release of wastes to the environment. While Finetex posses a form documenting equipment repair activities, an adequate inspection log was not available. E. A notice of Violation concerning the above mentioned violations was sent to Finetex by DWQ's Mooresville Regional Office on October 25, 1999. F. The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures in this matter totaled $690.79. Based upon the above Findings of Fact, I make the following: II. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW: A. Finetex is a "person" within the meaning of G.S.143-215.6A pursuant to G.S. 143-212(4). B. The disposal system cited in Findings of Fact B. above falls within the definition of same at G.S. 143-213(10) or G.S. 143-213(17). C. A permit is required for the disposal of wastewater pursuant to G.S. 143- 215. 1 (a)(9) and Part VI, Condition No. 4 of DWQ Permit No. WQ0001077. D. Finetex violated G.S. 143 -215. 1 (a)(9) and Part VI, Condition No. 4 of DWQ Permit No. WQ0001077 by failing to properly operate and maintain a non - discharge spray irrigation system. E. Finetex may be assessed civil penalties in this matter pursuant to G.S. 143- 215.6A(a)(2), which provides that a civil penalty of not more than ten thousand dollars per violation may be assessed against a person who is required but fails to apply for or to secure a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1(a)(9). F. The State's enforcement costs in this matter may be assessed against Finetex pursuant to G.S. 143-215.3(a)(9) and G.S. 143B-282.1(b)(8). G. The Director, Division of Water Quality, pursuant to delegation provided for by G.S. 143- 15.6A(h), has the authority to assess civil penalties in this matter. III. DECISION: Accordingly, Finetex is hereby assessed a civil penalty of: $ for failing to perform to permit stipards as required by G.S. 143-215. 1 (a)(9) and Parts I,II,IV,V,VI, of DWQ Permit No. WQ0001077 for the spray irrigation treatment and disposal of wastewater. TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY, which is percent of the maximum penalty authorized by G.S. 143-215.6A. $ 690.79 Enforcement costs $ TOTAL AMOUNT DUE As required by G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have considered the factors listed in G.S.143B-282.I(b), 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.

Atwood Dear Mr. Atwood: NCDENR NORTH CAROUNA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY October 25, 1999 Subject: Notice of Violation and Recommendation for Enforcement Permit No. WQ0001077 and NCGS 143-215.1 Finetex, Inc., 775 Hackett Street Spencer, Rowan County Finetex, Incorporated (Finetex) was issued Permit No. WQ0001077, effective April 20, 1998, for the continued operation of a 18,000 GPD spray irrigation and disposal facility.. Based upon site _ visits conducted by personnel from this Office on September 30`h and October Is' 1999, the Division has reason to believe that you are responsible for activities resulting in noncompliance with North Carolina Law and the subject Permit. In particular, the following violations of the existing permit conditions were observed: Violation of Permit Condition "I. I." — This Office's file does not contain a certification from a professional engineer (PE) certifying that the drip field facility was installed in accordance with the permit, the approved plans and specifications. The facility did not appear to be constructed in accordance with the application specifications. In particular, the wastewater distribution system in the application was designed at a pump rate of 30 gpm, while 60 gpm pumps were installed at the facility. In addition, some of the drip lines were placed on semi -impervious to impervious surfaces such as the gravel driveway. You should be aware that Permit Condition "VI. L" states, "The permit shall become voidable unless the facilities are constructed in accordance with the conditions of this permit, the approved plans and specifications, and other supporting data." Violation of Permit Condition "I.6." — During the site visit on September 30th DWQ staff observed that the clarifier, the flocculation tank and the polymer feed system were not in operation. During a subsequent phone conversation, Mr. Atwood stated that the clarifier and flocculation equipment were not utilized if the wastewater were to be disposed of through irrigation. The permit was issued with the understanding that this equipment would be utilized in the treatment of the wastewater prior to irrigation. Not operating this equipment is considered a bypass of the treatment 919 North Main Street, Mooresville, North Carolina 28115 Telephone 704-663-1699 FAX 704-663-6040 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper Finetex Inc - NOV October 25 1999 Page 2 of 3 .`� facilities and is prohibited by the permit. In addition, a small stream of cloudy wastewater was observed flowing from an earthen berm located at the western corner of the aeration basins. The stream flowed approximately 50 feet before infiltrating into the soil. Watermarks around the stream indicate _ - that the flow was greater prior to the site visit. Wastewater may be bypassing the treatment system through holes or other imperfections in the earthen liner enclosing the aeration basins. Violation of Permit Condition "I.7. b)" - During the September 30`h site visit, DWQ personnel observed a mixture of stormwater and wastewater flowing off of the easternmost drip irrigation field. The runoff appeared to enter into the eastern property buffer. Hydrology indicators in the area, suggest that runoff has consistently flowed off of the drip field and into the buffer area. Violation of Permit Condition "II. L" - The facility did riot appear to be operated and maintained properly. The drip irrigation field was in poor condition. Many areas were barren of vegetation and/or inundated with standing water. Several drip lines were observed to be overlapping (should be 31 feet apart). The sample results of the treatment system effluent report wastewater constituent concentrations in excess of the achievable limits specified in part 'IV. 14. " of the July 1997 drip irrigation system application. In addition, the clarifier and flocculation units were not in operation. Violation of Permit Condition "II.3." - Several areas within the drip irrigation fields were without suitable vegetative cover. Violation of Permit Condition I'll. 4." - Based on the application records.submitted by Finetex to this Office, Finetex has applied to the irrigation fields during inclement weather on multiple occasions. From May through August 1999, Finetex applied to at least one irrigation field during 20 of the 28 working days in which precipitation was reported. Mr. Atwood stated that the drip field had received wastewater during similar circumstances prior to this Office's September 3&- site visit. The - condition of the drip field observed during the September 30'' site visit was indicative of irrigation during inclement weather. Violation of Permit Condition "II.S." - Runoff was observed on September 30t' from the easternmost application field of the drip irrigation system. Violation of Permit Condition "U. 7." - Drip lines that are not separated by 31 feet or are operated at pumping rates above the design rate of the drip irrigation system (as described in the 1997 application for the drip fields) may exceed the application rate of 0.25 inches per hour. Comment regarding Permit Condition "II.10." - While equipment is allowed on the application fields during maintenance activities, the permittee should be careful when operating the equipment in order to avoid compaction of the soils that may retard and reduce the infiltration rates of the soils in the application fields. Several tire ruts and other evidence of compaction were observed in the drip irrigation fields. Violation of Permit Condition "IV. 2 " - The November 1998 groundwater quality sampling and analysis report submitted to the Division's Groundwater Section did not contain the laboratory analytical results for the volatile organic compounds analysis. A Finetex, Inc. - NOV October 25, 1999 Page 3 of 3 Violation of Permit Condition "V. 2." — The permittee does not appear to be adequately inspecting the wastewater treatment facilities. While Finetex possessed a form documenting equipment repair activities, an adequate inspection log was not available. Finetex should be inspecting the irrigation fields as well as the equipment. Finetex should begin keeping an inspection log that at a minimum includes: the date and time of inspections; any observations made (field wet, pools of water, etc.); all maintenance activities (mowing, pipe moving, parts, etc.); and any additional corrective actions. The logs must be maintained for three years. At this time, this Office is considering recommending enforcement for the violations described in this Notice. North Carolina General Statute (NCGS) 143-215.6A provides for a civil penalty assessment of not more than twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) per violation, per day against any person who violates or fails to act in accordance with the terms, conditions, or requirements of any permit issued pursuant to NCGS 143-215.1. It is requested that you respond to this Notice in writing by November 5, 1999. Your response should document any comments you may have regarding the violations cited in this Notice, any corrective actions to prevent any similar conditions, and:anticipated dates to complete the necessary corrective actions. Your response will be considered prior to this Office's recommendation for enforcement and will be included in any enforcement recommendation packages. You should not apply to the new drip field until the PE certification for the as -built specifications has been forwarded to the Division, the field has been rehabilitated, the Division has re -inspected the facilities, and the Division has provided written authorization that you may resume irrigation to the field. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Mr. Charley Schwartz or me at (704) 663-1699. _ Sincerely, D. Rex Gleason, P.E.

P.O. Box 164 Spencer, NC 28159 (704)633-8028 Subject: Response to Notice of Violation dated October 25, 1999. Dear Mr. Rex Gleason, _ This letter responds to the Notice of Violation dated October 25, 1999 (the "NOV"). I note that Finetex had previously applied to the Division of Water Quality ("DWQ") for a modification to Permit No. WQ0001077 to expand its two aeration basins. The September 30 inspection was conducted in response to this application for modification. Finetex, in continuous operation since 1949, operates our key manufacturing facility in North Carolina. Our recent Spencer employment taps into the North Carolina Piedmont region and while modest, provides about 40 high paying jobs. We remain committed to good relations with our employees, customers, and all Regulatory Agencies. This includes full compliance with State Permits and Regulations. We take the 10/25/99 Notice of Violation very seriously. MMARY RESPONSE Finetex has three outlets for its trlefe ste ater: Irrigation Field #1 (in operation since 1976), Irrigation Field #2 (in operation since and for the extended rain events, the City of Spencer. The clarifier and its related systems are used for pretreatmen prior to discharge into Silencer's WWTP. These systems have been designed and constructed with the knowledge of the DWQ to allow Finetex's growth and to ascertain compliance under all conditions. The systems are operated according to permit terms and DWQ regulations. The NOV has several factual errors. The as -built certification from our professional engineer was u mitted n or about May 19, 1998 (See enclosed copy of certification by Gary R. MacConnell, P.E. dated May 19, 1998). Finetex does not apply residual wastewater during precipitation events (See mtiJ ONth 5r" ` NOT iN VFPCE PL5 ` FINETEX INC., P.O.

We are well aware of the seepage and monitor it The seepage is intermittent, dependent on aeration basin operations and varies between zero and 5 gallons per hour. It originates on the side of our western basin and seeps down slope. At low seepage rate, the seepage evaporates leavin water -marks. At the seepage rate of about 5 GPH, it travels approximately 6 f et were it is collected in and du . It is then returned to the aeration basin with a small u p purr', To our knowledge, no untreated wastewater has left our property from this source. We desire to address this concern properly and plan to- act accordingly when the basin is empty during aeration basin expansion. The application for modification of the permit to allow the expansion of the aeration basin is intended to address this issue, so it is somewhat ironic that we were cited for violation as a result. Finetex believes that no diversion or bypass has occurred. Finetex believes that the permitted equipment is being properly operated as envisioned at the time of issuance of Permit No. WQ00010077. Violation of Permit Condition "I.7.b" Sto a and waste water draining off the irrigation fields: The Finetex facility experience a one a[�« inch rain event"Sept. 28th. Early the morning of Sept. 30th we experienced a second heavy rain event. r Copies of the September Non Discharge Waste Water Monitoring Report are attached. Typically, either such event alone can generate appreciable storm water runoff. As part of the inspection Mr. Charley Schwartz of DWQ and Mr. Kirby Atwood of Finetex together walked the entire perimeter of the irrigation fields 'There was no standing or flowing water in the_buffer areas. inetex believes the heavy rain events may have caused the "hydrology indicators" and possibly give the appearance of flow from the irrigation field. Finetex has reason to believe wastewater did not enter the buffer areas. To further alleviate chances of water leaving the irrigation area, additional rye seed has been applied to the soil for further improved absorption and to retard storm water flow. Finetex believes rain event runoff caused "hydrology,, indicators" and waste water did not penetrate �gt- k Wh5 �Zv RAW—, FCA(,6GD So Nor- CPMAIN ,-d-c"W buffer zones.

They are also moved for maintenance purposes (mowing) but may overlap until replaced (approximately 31 feet apart) prior to subsequent irrigation. - Primary vegetative cover is forest with work ways between the trees for inspection and movement of the irrigation drip lines. As a new irrigation field, grass grows poorly with limited sunlight beneath established trees. Over the course of 2 years, young vegetative cover has improved since original State inspection and we continue to work establishing improved grass vegetative cover between trees. `Standing water observed was caused by the rain events of Sept. 28th and early morning of the 30th. - Waste water constituent concentrations: Finetex produces waste that is fully biologically degradable. Constituent concentrations will improve when the expanded aeration basins are complete. Finetex has applied to the State for aeration basin expansion. �I�� te�e�toWE tF (cLw tt FUe.-T"K +Toom W 5rkv10h, - Clarifier, flocculation and polymer system function is reported in our response to Violation of Permit Condition "I.6." detailed above.

Finetex Inc. 11/3/99 Pg. 4 (of 5) Violation of Permit Condition "II.3." - Suitable vegetative cover: forest is our primary vegetative cover. Grass is grown to assist water consumption in areas that sunlight permits. Original 1997 construction left the field with significant heavy equipment (bulldozer) ruts and areas void of vegetative cover. Ruts have been restored and vegetative cover between trees improved. We continue to cultivate new grass and continue to make significant progress in the low light conditions among the trees. Additional rye grass seed has recently been applied. Finetex believes we have operated in accordance to permit conditions and continues efforts to establish secondary grass vegetative cover beneath the trees. 7 5 w►� i Violation of Permit Condition " II.4." L�� ��55t(��u�TA - Records do reflect days of both rain events and irrigation. Existing DMR forms do not allow forgo DAi morning and afternoon record entries for either rain events or irrigation resulting in the potential q `1k' f I LID L9 appearance of coinciding irrigation and rain events when in fact the two may have been separate. It isotr:t��°� possible, for example, to irrigate in the morning and experience an afternoon rain event. It is also LOG o possible to experience a light rain event and subsequently irrigate when no standing water is present. Su i occurrence might be interpreted as non-compliance when in fact it reflects limitations of the currently required DMR form. - We do not at anytime irrigate during rain events. Irrigation after a light rain does occur but only after verifying the absence of standing water. Finetex does not irrigate during a rain event nor after a rain event when standing water is present and has reasons to believe we operate in accordance to Permit regulations.

Additional analysis was performed and reported. That analysis reflected no detectable VOC results. Documentation is attached. The operator was instructed in careful sampling procedures. Finetex has complied with the permit conditions. Violation of Permit Condition "V.2" - The maintenance log used by Finetex requires the operator to walk and inspect the irrigation lines on each field used. The entire fields and related equipment are checked. The log has space to check off conditions and instructions to report problems. With DWQ staff s observation, Finetex has expanded the log to include additional descriptions, observations, time of inspection, and comment sections. A copy of the new form is attached. RESPONSE CONCLUSION Finetex is a second -generation family owned and managed business. We are proud of our relations with customers, employees and government regulatory agencies. We believe we have operated our facilities in compliance with all conditions of Permit No. WQ0001077. Our company strives to comply with permit and regulatory requirements, and, where it is environmentally beneficial and economically feasible, to surpass those requirements. Since further improvements are always possible, I welcome you and your staffs questions and suggestions. We encourage your visitation to review and inspect our facilities again at the earliest possible date and look forward to State re authorization to re - activate Irrigation Field #2. If possible, I would like to personally be present for the future re inspection and to that end and if possible, would like to request a prearranged inspection date. Our offices look forward to you earliest possible response. Re Itful! l i Robert H.

Based upon our - engineering evaluation, the owing is a list or recommendations for contin>ied proper operation and. maintenance of the Finetcx ,wastewater treatment and disposal facility: • proceed with the aeration- basin expansion project as soon as the permit is issued While expansionn-of the basins is underway, tho corm of the dike experiencing. seepage should be excavated, and recompacted in accordance with the project specifications . The soil should be excavated, the slopes should be benched and appropriate fill material should be. placed and.recompacted in. accordance with the project specifications. This should elintinate any seepage through the embankment. It should be noted that the aeration basin expansion project will have a profound effect on operation of the wastewater treatment plant and disposal facility. The expansion will of the basin will be re provide two feet of fieeboard, the site upstream regraded to dive .rt stormwater runoff from the wcccss road and other upstream cress underneath the access road and away from -the_ aeration basins, longer detention times will be provided producing a higher quality effluent for land application and the area of concern due to seepage through the .ennban�ent will be repaired_ .. • jJntil such. time as the seepage repair has been made, the sump for collecting the seepage should continue to be used.. The seepage raze has been estimated at a maximum of only 3 gallons per hour and. sbould infiltrate the soil at this rate. however, during vain events, the runoff .which collects in this .sump should be pumped back into the aeration basins. From site observations, it is obvious that the channels in the access road near the seepage area have been created by stomawaier runoff flowing down the access road. This was very obvious, today because of the �ff continuing to flow down this channel towards the sump upon our inspection. • The disposal fields should be continue to be upgraded. A continuing program for improving the site has been underway since canpletion of the .flood irrigation project._ The desire is to create a site with a. unitbrm grak no depressions which allow for ponding of effluent and gwzn hater, and a good. vegetative cover for assirnilation of the wastewater enieet. Since the inspection on September 3®, a great deal of work has 9m* been per%rmed to improve the site. Many ofthe.major depressions on fields 1, 2,4 and 5.have already been.filled with topsoil and grass seed has been planted_ For better germination of the grass .seed, some type of mulch (straw, .etc). should be. placed on these areas. This .will provide. adequate moisture for germination and. prevent stormwater runoff Rom. washing I way the grass seed.. This program should be continued until the site maintains a.uniform grade which. does not pond after rain events. During the inspection, it was noted that field number 3. is in the most need of repair. There are many low -spots which collect water and. contain marginal vegeta&e cover. This field is downstream of a large stormwater drainage area and also from irrigation fields 1, 2 and 4. Therefore, opificant hydraulic loading may be occurring on this field from stormwater runoff and to a much smaller Wait, possibly irrigation water from fields 1, 2 and 4. Fmctex to have two options in this situation.. Extensive fiend repeats can be undertakes to obtain a uniform slope and to improve the vegetative cover oa field 3. FFL M MacConnell & Associates, P.C.

'Theselwo . fields bavc good vegetative cover established, �s main fairly uniform slopes and have a smaller upstream drainage area as compared to fief 3. • The "berms" of construction debris should be removed from the disposal fields. These. berms create somewhat of a dam, impounding storrnwater runofffi� upstream areas. These ponded areas are too saturated to allow for infiltration of the effluent into the. soil.Upon removal of the. berms and creation of a uniform grade, the stormwater will be able continue to flow downstream and offthe site., • The drip lines w1 ich appear to be ovedspping should be 'cut off just downstream of their ast lirrigation orifice .Inspection of these lines. indicates that for approx mately. the last 15 feet of these fines there are no irrigation orifices. To eliminate the appearance that these. lines are. irrigating these areas with twice,- as much effluent, the lines should be shortened to their last orifice and'capped with the misting gate valves at the ends of these lines; • The irrigation lines which cross over a gravel surface should be removed from use.. Gravel surfaces will escperience lower permeability rates than the surrounding soil _. urfam. Therefore,. inigatien rates being applied to the soil surfaces may cause .runoff from the. gravel surfaces. 'Removal of these lines will not .result in. an roar AUPeous application rate. in excess -of those recommended by . the . soiil sciewast. However. reroutingthem to adjacent areas will :provide better: distribution at a lower rate throughout the field. • No change in the dgsing rages of the disposal fields should be made. Upon observation of the system; it appears as.though less than 1/4. inch per hour of irrigation is talang place. The dosingunps i�ngate the fields at a rate of 60 .gallons per minute (GPM): These fields have an. offec&e area of.35,000 square feet .(per 1997 application package) per field. Since the fields are .dosed individually, they receive .the entire 60 GPM. Yn _ one hour of irrigation, aWoik ately 3,600 gallons are'does over the 35,000 square foot 4Tes. This results in an instantaneous. inigation rate of 0.16S inches per hour. This rate is much lower than the acceptable instantaneous irrigation rate as determined by the soil scientist..

AFFIDAVIT OF KIRBY ATWOOD State of North Carolina County of Rowan ss: KIRBY ATWOOD, being first duly sworn, deposes and states as follows: 1. My name is Kirby Atwood. I am of legal age to make this Affidavit. I have personal knowledge of all of the facts stated in this Affidavit, and I am competent to testify to the truth of said facts. 2. I am employed as Compliance Coordinator by Finetex, Inc. I have held this position for one and one-half years. In this position I am responsible for compliance for environmental laws, regulations and permits at the Finetex manufacturing facility in Spencer, N. C. in Rowan County. Cis 1 3. On September 30, 1999, I accompanied Mr. Ghade&Schwartz on an inspection of the Finetex irrigation application facilities. 4. No application of waste was made to the irrigation ap lication .gPLjP&VvP I1A0 is r 0 hCkT fields on September 30, 1999. ro pt��X gurNor- 571"fJnr DPAP RaD 3 5. Among my duties is the responsibility of deciding when and where to apply residual wastewater to the irrigation application fields, or, in the alternative, to route the residual wastewater to the wastewater treatment plant of the Town of Spencer. 6. I have never authorized the application of residual wastewater to the irrigation fields during a precipitation event. To the best of my knowledge _ and belief, residual wastewater have never been applied to irrigation application fields during a precipitation event. \NL loll � I f T*t\T' oN� +w oY I wS�7 ou R1oQ 'o 0 7. Prior to authorizing the application or residual wastewater to ��e�� S z,.*AR d �o ojAett D 50 via irrigation application fields, I ersonall determine the condition of the field. I do F LL� not, nor have I ever, authorize app ication of residual wastewater to irrigation application fields if there is water standing on the field. 8. There have been occasions during the summer of 1999 when I authorized the application of residual wastewater to irrigation application fields on the same day that a precipitation event occurred. To the best of my knowledge and belief, in every one of those instances, the irrigation application of residual wastewater occurred prior to the initiation of the precipitation event, or after the conclusion of alight precipitation event after all standing water had drained from, or had infiltrated into, the irrigation application field. 9. The drip lines used on the irrigation application fields are flexible. One reason for the use of flexible drip lines was to allow workers in the irrigation application fields to move the lines for the purpose of maintenance. I do not, nor have I ever, authorize application of residual wastewater to irrigation application fields if the drip lines are not properly separated. To the best of my knowledge e so'& KAol-s °a��E orl and belief, the flexible drip lines have always been restored to their proper separation prior to the delivery of the residual wastewater to the lines.

On December 1998, I personally reported to Linda Love of the Mooresville Regional Office of the Department of Environmental and Natural Resources, by telephone, that styrene had been detected in two separate monitoring well samples collected on November 17, 1998. At my direction, additional samples were taken on December 14, 1998, from the two monitoring wells. The latter samples showed no detectable VOCs. Subsequent investigation indicated that the styrene concentrations were caused by inadvertent contamination of the samples. Further affiant sayeth not.

NC 27626-0578 From: Kirby Atwood, Compliance Coordinator Finetex Inc. - Permit Number WQ0001077 PO Box 164 Spencer, NC 28159 Sir, I am submitting this letter as a follow-up to my December 30th cover -letter = submitted with our GW-59 monitoring well reports. The cover letter stated that we had detectable amounts of styrene reported from our VOC analysis in two monitoring wells. We do not presently use any styrene at our facility or at any time during the past. The wells were re -sampled to confirm the VOC results. Results from the re -samples did not have any'detectable styrene or any other VOC.

Hunt, Jr., Governor William E. Holman, Secretary Certified Mail Return Receipt Requested Finetex, Incorporated Post Office Box 164 Spencer, North Carolina 28159 Attention: Mr. Emmett K. Atwood Dear Mr. Atwood: N CDENR NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY October 25, 1999 Subject: Notice of Violation and Recommendation for Enforcement Permit No. WQ0001077 and NCGS 143-215.1 Finetex, Inc., 775 Hackett Street Spencer, Rowan County Finetex, Incorporated (Finetex) was issued -Permit No. WQ0001077, effective April 20, 1998, for the continued operation of a 18,000 GPD spray irrigation and disposal facility. Based upon site visits conducted by personnel from this Office on September 30th and:October lst 1999, the Division has reason to believe that you are responsible for activities resulting in noncompliance with North Carolina Law and the subject Permit. In particular, the following violations of the existing permit conditions were observed: Violation of Permit Condition "I. I." — This Office's file does not contain a certification from a professional engineer (PE) certifying that the drip field facility was installed in accordance with the permit, the approved plans and specifications. The facility did not appear to be constructed in accordance with the application specifications. In particular, the wastewater distribution system in the application was designed at a pump rate of 30 gpm, while 60 gpm pumps were installed at the facility. In addition, some of the drip lines were placed on semi -impervious to impervious surfaces such as the gravel driveway. You should be aware that Permit Condition "VI. 1." states, "The permit shall become voidable unless the facilities are constructed in accordance with the conditions of this permit, the approved plans and specifications, and other supporting data." Violation of Permit Condition " I.6." — During the site visit on September 30th DWQ staff observed that the clarifier, the flocculation tank and the polymer feed system were not in operation. During a subsequent phone conversation, Mr. Atwood stated that the clarifier and flocculation equipment were not utilized if the wastewater were to be disposed of through irrigation. The permit was issued with the understanding that this equipment would be utilized in the treatment of the wastewater prior to irrigation. Not operating this equipment is considered a bypass of the treatment 919 North Main Street, Mooresville, North Carolina 28115 Telephone 704-663-1699 FAX 704-663-6040 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE First -Class Mail Postage & Fees Paid LISPS f Permit No. G-10 0 �' 0 � o • Sender: Please print your name, address, and ZIP+4 in 0`9'66x •^' _ -��" N C -, o CD c Mtn ro 3 CD r� M (D Lr 1Vit WATER QUALITY SSGTZON1v p,, H� o rr r r 3 �`� w '� 919 NORTH MAIN STREW- MOORESVILLE NC 28115 0: 00 z 4- � 000 — C (D .

In addition, a small stream of cloudy wastewater was observed flowing from an earthen berm located at the western corner of the aeration basins. The stream flowed approximately 50 feet before infiltrating into the soil. Watermarks around the stream indicate that the flow was greater prior to the site visit. Wastewater may be bypassing the treatment system through holes or other imperfections in the earthen liner enclosing the aeration basins. Violation of Permit Condition IT 7. b)" — During the September 30`h site visit, DWQ personnel observed a mixture of stormwater and wastewater flowing off of the easternmost drip irrigation field. The runoff appeared to enter into the eastern property buffer. Hydrology indicators in the area, suggest that runoff has consistently flowed off of.the drip field and into the buffer area. Violation of Permit Condition I'll. 1." - The facility did not appear to be operated and maintained properly. The drip irrigation field was in poor condition. Many areas were barren of vegetation and/or inundated with standing water. Several drip lines were observed to be overlapping (should be 31 feet apart). The sample results of the treatment system effluent report wastewater constituent concentrations in excess of the achievable limits specified in part "V. 14." of the July 1997 drip irrigation system application. In addition, the clarifier and flocculation units were not in operation. Violation of Permit Condition I'll. 3." — Several areas within the drip irrigation fields were without suitable vegetative cover. Violation of Permit Condition "II.4." = Based on the application records submitted by Finetex to this Office, Finetex has applied to the irrigation fields during inclement weather on multiple occasions. From May through August 1999, Finetex applied to at least one irrigation field during 20 of the 28 working days in which precipitation was reported. Mr. Atwood stated that the drip field had received wastewater during similar circumstances prior to this Office's September 30`h site visit. The condition of the drip field observed during the September 301h site visit was indicative of irrigation during inclement weather. Violation of Permit Condition "II.S." — Runoff was observed on September 30`h from the easternmost application field of the drip irrigation system. Violation of Permit Condition "II. 7." — Drip lines that are not separated by 31 feet or are operated at pumping rates above the design rate of the drip irrigation system (as described in the 1997 application for the drip fields) may exceed the application rate of 0.25 inches per hour. Comment regarding Permit Condition I'll. 10." — While equipment is allowed on the application fields during maintenance activities, the permittee should be careful when operating the equipment in order to avoid compaction of the soils that may retard and reduce the infiltration rates of the soils in the application fields. Several tire ruts and other evidence of compaction were observed in the drip irrigation fields. Violation of Permit Condition "IV. 2." — The November 1998 groundwater quality sampling and analysis report submitted to the Division's Groundwater Section did not contain the laboratory analytical results for the volatile organic compounds analysis. 9 Finetex Inc. - NOV ' y October 25 1999 Page 3 of 3 Violation of Permit Condition "V. 2." — The permittee does not appear to be adequately inspecting the wastewater treatment facilities. While Finetex possessed a form documenting equipment repair activities, an adequate inspection log was not available. Finetex should be inspecting the irrigation fields as well as the equipment. Finetex should begin keeping an inspection log that at a minimum includes: the date and time of inspections; any observations made (field wet, pools of water, etc.); all maintenance activities (mowing, pipe moving, parts, etc.); and any additional corrective actions. The logs must be maintained for three years. At this time, this Office is considering recommending enforcement for the violations described in this Notice. North Carolina General Statute (NCGS) 143-215.6A provides for a civil penalty assessment of not more than twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) per violation, per day against any person who violates or fails to act in accordance with the terms, conditions, or requirements of any permit issued pursuant to NCGS 143-215.1. It is requested that you respond to this Notice in writing by November 5, 1999. Your response should document any comments you may have regarding the violations cited in this Notice, any corrective actions to prevent any similar conditions, and anticipated dates to complete the necessary corrective actions. Your response will be considered prior to this Office's recommendation for enforcement and will be included in any enforcement recommendation packages.. You should not apply to the new drip field until the PE certification for the as -built specifications has been forwarded to the Division, the field has been rehabilitated, the Division has re -inspected the facilities, and the Division has provided written authorization that you may resume irrigation to the field. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Mr. Charley Schwartz or me at (704) 663-1699. Sincerely, D. Rex Gleason, P.E.

The new fibergla`- ss tank `wrll�f the same capacity (8,000 gallons) but will be in a new location about 40 feet from its current location. Additional piping will be added to accommodate the new tank. Based on similar situations at other facilities, we have advised Finetex staff that this is typically considered a maintenance issue. Because there is no change in plant capacity, operations, nor process; it is our understanding that no permit modification nor approval is required. However, Finetex is notifying the Regional Office of its intentions by way of this letter, in a show of continuing cooperation.

February 13, 2002 i To: Bob Scala From: Kirby Atwood Subject: Consultant Inspection of Wastewater Treatment Systems Dear Sir, FEB 2 1 2002 Michael Allen, PE of MacConnell & Associates performed an independent surprise inspection of the Wastewater Treatment Systems Monday February 1 Vh His inspection covered the wastewater plant area, sprayfields, and documentation. The wastewater plant was in operation with discharge going to the Spencer POTW. Mr. Allen's inspection included a section pipe used to carry wastewater to the sprayfields. Mr. Allen remarked that the piping was in good condition and recommended that we continue present operation and maintenance activities. No other suggestions were made concerning the wastewater plant. The inspection of the sprayfields was done following .25 inches of rain on the day prior. There had been no discharge to the fields in about a month. Mr. Allen noted that small pockets of rainwater on the fields were clear with no visible wastewater impact to the rainwater. Inspection of the fields did not show any solids build up. Rye/fescue grass was green and healthy. Michael commented that he wished his yard was as green. `Mr. Allen was complimentary of the voluntary improvements made to Sprayfield #2. Those improvements were the installation of impact heads over most of the Zones and clearing of brush from the Sprayfield. The only recommendation was to continue the current project of impact head installation and clearing the zones. Wastewater documentation was also covered in the inspection. This included daily operator logs, monthly reports, monitoring well reports, annual loading report, etc. All documentation was present and in order. No suggestions were made. Results of the unexpected inspection were good and reflect the improvements made in operation and maintenance of wastewater treatment systems.

Occasionally, the concentration of lead reported in the three original monitoring (bored) wells has been above the NC groundwater standard of 0.015 mg/L but generally not above one order of magnitude. My review of both gw and effluent monitoring data for the last several years does not indicate that the elevated gw concentrations are related to the waste disposal activities. They may reflect natural conditions for the surficial aquifer. The Groundwater Section does not consider this a pollution incident at this time.

Rowan County The purpose of this letter is to address reporting deficiencies with your monthly spray irrigation report. Currently the State utilizes two (2) forms that have been developed to compile all your required reporting information. These forms are the NDAR and NDMR. It is important to use these forms properly and please remember that both forms must be submitted each month. Regarding the NDMR, the first four columns; "Operator Arrival Time"," Operator Time on Site","ORC on Site" and "Daily Rate (Flow) into Treatment System" must be reported monthly. If you do not report flow on the NDMR form, your monthly average calculated for the year will be inaccurately inflated. Required reporting parameters listed in the subject permit must be submitted, three times a year, as regulated by the permit. This figure must also be measured correctly; your system must have flow meters or some measurement device that allows you to read the flow of wastewater into your treatment system. This is before diluting, processing, aerating, etc... Also Daily Rate must be reported in the units of measurements stated on the monitoring form. All parameters not preprinted on the NDMR form must be filled in by the permittee and must be reported in the units stated in the subject permit. Regarding NDAR forms, fields must be consistently identified and cover crops listed when reports are submitted each month. Each. field must also be identified with acreage. and, cover crop listed each time you submit reports with completed data. Please record 0.0 inches Monthly Loading if there is no activity. Nothing in this letter should be taken as absolving you of your responsibility to abide by all relevant NC Statutes and Regulations. P.O.
