Remediation System, Brenntag Mid-South, Inc., Greensboro, North Carolina.
Dear Ms. Thedford:
Date.

On behalf of Brenntag Mid-South, Inc. (Brenntag), Arcadis G&M of North Carolina,
Inc. (Arcadis) is submitting the attached National Pollutant Discharge Elimination Contact:
System(NPDES)permit renewal application for the continued discharge of effluent Jim Shilliday
from a groundwater remediation system at the Brenntag facility(former Worth
Chemical facility) in Greensboro, North Carolina (NPDES Permit NC0078000). Phone.
Treated groundwater from the remediation system is discharged directly to an 919.415.2302
unnamed tributary of South Buffalo Creek located along the eastern boundary of the email:
site. No changes have been implemented to the groundwater remediation system [e-mail]
since issuance of the previous NPDES Permit that became effective on December 1,
2016. Our ref:
30065851
Please note that sludge is neither generated nor discharged by the groundwater
remediation system; therefore, a sludge management plan has not been included
with this application. Any solids (e.g., silt, iron, and manganese precipitate)
generated during the groundwater extraction and/or treatment processes are filtered
from the treatment stream using bag filters.
Other items enclosed with this letter in support of the NPDES permit renewal
application include the following:
• Figure 1 - USGS topographic map of the project area that depicts the location of
the system outfall;
• Figure 2 - site map that depicts the route of the treated water to the discharge
