Page# 1 DocuSign Envelope ID: C969BE0A-9829-4552-A778-200E3DB1886A 31 NPDES yr/mo/day NCG500270 I11 121 22/02/22 I17 Inspection Type 18LI (Cont.) 1 Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary) An inspection was performed on 2/22/2022 of Permit Number NCG500270 for the Phoenix Technology, Ltd. (PTL) facility in Burgaw, North Carolina. The inspection was performed in order to verify compliance with the existing permit. Present during the visit were Brenda and Veronica Vesligaj with the facility as well as Morella Sanchez -King and Bryan Lievre, both with NCDEQ, DWR. The facility is located at 210 Progress Drive (State Road 1413), Burgaw, Pender County, NC 28425. Permit NCG500270 was issued for non -contact cooling water at the custom plastic injection molding facility. The production process uses the thermal properties of water to cool their molds in a non -contact manner. The injection molding equipment is used to manufacture a variety of stocks, grips and accessories for various hand guns, shot guns and rifles. The facility's equipment is cooled utilizing the water from the supply well which is combined with "used" water in an open air mixing tank, with excess overflowing to the outfall. Potable water is provided by the Town of Burgaw although the facility utilizes a private water supply well for non -potable purposes including the process water. The primary well is located near the mid -point of the north side of the building, east of the pump house which is adjacent to the north side of the building. This well is believed to be approximately 350 feet deep. A secondary well is located approximately 25 feet east of the eastern side (front) of the building. The cooling water effluent is discharged through a subgrade pipe which leads to a ditch which transects the property approximately 70 feet west of the western side of the building. The discharge location is approximately 75 feet northwest of the northwestern building corner. The ditch appears to drain to the north and leads to roadside stormwater ditches which are suspected to discharge into a tributary of Osgood Canal. The water within the tank was inspected and had great clarity with no hint of chemical addition and no chemical feeds or filters observed. The pump house which is along the north side of the main building was also inspected and not found to contain any chemical injections or additives. The discharge location was viewed during the inspection and the water and receiving stream were very clear with no visible solids or foam. MOst recently, Environmental Chemists, Inc. performed sampling on the effluent and receiving stream on 9/18/2017 and 7/23/2019. System staff were reminded of sampling requirements which include semi-annual estimation of flow, semi-annual effluent sampling of pH and semi-annual sampling of effluent, upstream and downstream sampling for temperature.
