The facility formerly consisted of reverse osmosis (RO) and water softeners with reject or concentrate wastewaters. The RO and water softeners wastestreams have been removed. Currently, this facility is discharging cooling waters associated with boiler blowdown, cooling tower blowdown water and similar wastewaters (including fire tank blowdown). Hexion, Inc. has requested for coverage under general permit NCG500000. MONITORING FOR GENERAL PERMIT COC NCG500676: Coverage under the general permit is for discharge cooling waters associated with boiler blowdown, cooling tower blowdown water and similar wastewaters. General Permit NCG500000 Part I, A. (1.) gives the effluent limitations and monitoring requirements for such wastewaters. BIOCIDE FORM 101 APPROVAL: Hexion was approved on April 26, 2017 by the DWR Water Science Section Aquatic Toxicity Branch for ChemTreat CL and Hydrogen Peroxide to be discharged via Outfall 001 into Livingston Creek. Calculations predict the use of these products, at the dosage rate, will not cause toxic impacts to aquatic life in the receiving stream, Livingston Creek. Therefore, the use of this product as an additive to cooling water system is acceptable. Fact Sheet N P D ES COC NCG500676 Page I SUMMARY NOTES FOR RESCISSION OF INDIVIDUAL PERMIT NC0003395: • The Wilmington regional office confirmed in an inspection conducted on September 30, 2016 [see attached] that the reverse osmosis (RO) system has been taken off-line. As described regional office inspection report: Water softener (used for formaldehyde production make-up water) backwash is routed to the concrete basin, which also receives the first 30 minutes of flush stormwater from the hexamine process area. The concrete basin content is used for make-up water for cooling towers 5 and 6. All water in these towers is evaporated. Other cooling towers: no. 1 taken out of service, nos. 2, 10 and 11 have been replaced by new no. 3. Nos. 3, 7, and 12 are supplied water via the plant fire tank, which receives all make up water from Livingston Creek. The fire tank is blown down once per week. The one operational boiler currently discharges to the Columbus County POTW. This boiler blowdown may be sent back to outfall 002 at a future date. These cooling towers and boiler have various conditioners and biocides added to the makeup water. Plant hexamine production wastewater is sent to the Columbus County POTW. Outfall 002 was discharging and the effluent was noted to be clear and relatively free of suspended solids. • The water softener was removed in June 2016, which will no longer discharge of any reject or concentrate water via Outfall 002. Discharge form water softeners is now being incorporated into the recycled water system. • The facility formerly used treated process water as cooling water. Consequently, Outfall 002 was monitored for formaldehyde. A limit violation for formaldehyde occurred in November 2012. Since 2011, the facility has cleaned, removed and/or replaced cooling towers to eliminate discharge of formaldehyde. Notably, water from Livingston Creek is now used as cooling water instead of any process waste stream. • Fire tank blowdown is allowed by the general permit. TOXICITY — The previous permit NC000395 required Chronic using Ceriodaphnia dubia at 4.7% that was limited.

Fact Sheet NPDES COC NCG500676 Page 3 RPA: The need for toxicant limits is based upon a demonstration of reasonable potential to exceed water quality standards, a statistical evaluation that is conducted during every permit renewal utilizing the most recent effluent data for each outfall. The RPA is conducted in accordance with 40 CFR 122.44 (d) (i). The NC RPA procedure utilizes the following: 1) 95% Confidence Level/95% Probability; 2) assumption of zero background; 3) use of /2 detection limit for "less than" values; and 4) streamflows used for dilution consideration based on 15A NCAC 2B.0206. Effective April 6, 2016, NC began implementation of dissolved metals criteria in the RPA process in accordance with guidance titled NPDES Implementation of Instream Dissolved Metals Standards, dated June 10, 2016. A reasonable potential analysis was conducted on effluent toxicant data collected between Apr2016- Mar2017. Pollutants of concern included toxicants with positive detections and associated water quality standards/criteria. Based on this analysis, the following permitting actions are proposed for this permit: • No Limit or Monitoring: The following parameters will not receive a limit or monitoring, since they did not demonstrate reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality standards/criteria: Arsenic, Copper, Zinc, Fluoride, Chloride, Formaldehyde and Methanol. The individual permit NC000395 with these parameters of concern will be rescinded. See attached RPA spreadsheets and discussion of the implementation of the dissolved metal standard for Copper below. NPDES Implementation of Instream Dissolved Metals Standards — Freshwater Standards The NC 2007-2015 Water Quality Standard (WQS) Triennial Review was approved by the NC Environmental Management Commission (EMC) on November 13, 2014. The US EPA subsequently approved the WQS revisions on April 6, 2016, with some exceptions. Therefore, metal limits in draft permits out to public notice after April 6, 2016 must be calculated to protect the new standards - as approved. Table 1.

However, application of the dissolved and hardness -dependent standards requires additional consideration in order to establish the numeric standard for each metal of concern of each individual discharge. The hardness -based standards require some knowledge of the effluent and instream (upstream) hardness and so must be calculated case -by -case for each discharge. Metals limits must be expressed as `total recoverable' metals in accordance with 40 CFR 122.45(c). The discharge -specific standards must be converted to the equivalent total values for use in the RPA calculations. We will generally rely on default translator values developed for each metal (more on that below), but it is also possible to consider case -specific translators developed in accordance with established methodology. RPA Permitting Guidance/WOBELs for Hardness -Dependent Metals - Freshwater The RPA is designed to predict the maximum likely effluent concentrations for each metal of concern, based on recent effluent data, and calculate the allowable effluent concentrations, based on applicable standards and the critical low -flow values for the receiving stream. If the maximum predicted value is greater than the maximum allowed value (chronic or acute), the discharge has reasonable potential to exceed the standard, which warrants a permit limit in most cases. If monitoring for a particular pollutant indicates that the pollutant is not present (i.e. consistently below detection level), then the Division may remove the monitoring requirement in the reissued permit. 1. To perform a RPA on the Freshwater hardness -dependent metals the Permit Writer compiles the following information: Fact Sheet NPDES COC NCG500676 Page 5 • Critical low flow of the receiving stream, 7Q10 (the spreadsheet automatically calculates the 1 Q 10 using the formula 1 Q 10 = 0.843 (s7Q10, cfs) 0.993 • Effluent hardness and upstream hardness, site -specific data is preferred • Permitted flow • Receiving stream classification 2. In order to establish the numeric standard for each hardness -dependent metal of concern and for each individual discharge, the Permit Writer must first determine what effluent and instream (upstream) hardness values to use in the equations. The permit writer reviews DMR's, Effluent Pollutant Scans, and Toxicity Test results for any hardness data and contacts the Permittee to see if any additional data is available for instream hardness values, upstream of the discharge. If no hardness data is available, the permit writer may choose to do an initial evaluation using a default hardness of 25 mg/L (CaCO3 or (Ca + Mg)). Minimum and maximum limits on the hardness value used for water quality calculations are 25 mg/L and 400 mg/L, respectively. If the use of a default hardness value results in a hardness -dependent metal showing reasonable potential, the permit writer contacts the Permittee and requests 5 site -specific effluent and upstream hardness samples over a period of one week. The RPA is rerun using the new data. The overall hardness value used in the water quality calculations is calculated as follows: Combined Hardness (chronic) = (Permitted Flow, cfs *Avg. Effluent Hardness, mg/L) + (s7Q10, cfs *Avg. Upstream Hardness, mg/L) (Permitted Flow, cfs + s7Q10, cfs) The Combined Hardness for acute is the same but the calculation uses the 1 Q 10 flow. 3. The permit writer converts the numeric standard for each metal of concern to a total recoverable metal, using the EPA Default Partition Coefficients (DPCs) or site -specific translators, if any have been developed using federally approved methodology. EPA default partition coefficients or the "Fraction Dissolved" converts the value for dissolved metal at laboratory conditions to total recoverable metal at in -stream ambient conditions. This factor is calculated using the linear partition coefficients found in The Metals Translator: Guidance for Calculating a Total Recoverable Permit Limit from a Dissolved Criterion (EPA 823-B-96-007, June 1996) and the equation: Cdiss = Ctotal 1 1 + { [I( ] [satt+a)] [106] } Where: ss = in -stream suspended solids concentration [mg/1], minimum of 10 mg/L used, and Kpo and a = constants that express the equilibrium relationship between dissolved and adsorbed forms of metals. A list of constants used for each hardness -dependent metal can also be found in the RPA program under a sheet labeled DPCs. Fact Sheet NPDES COC NCG500676 Page 6 4. The numeric standard for each metal of concern is divided by the default partition coefficient (or site -specific translator) to obtain a Total Recoverable Metal at ambient conditions. In some cases, where an EPA default partition coefficient translator does not exist (ie. silver), the dissolved numeric standard for each metal of concern is divided by the EPA conversion factor to obtain a Total Recoverable Metal at ambient conditions. This method presumes that the metal is dissolved to the same extent as it was during EPA's criteria development for metals. For more information on conversion factors see the June, 1996 EPA Translator Guidance Document. 5. The RPA spreadsheet uses a mass balance equation to determine the total allowable concentration (permit limits) for each pollutant using the following equation: Ca = (s7Q10 + Qw) (Cwqs) — (s7Q10) (Cb) Qw Where: Ca = allowable effluent concentration (µg/L or mg/L) Cwqs = NC Water Quality Standard or federal criteria (µg/L or mg/L) Cb = background concentration: assume zero for all toxicants except NH3* (µg/L or mg/L) Qw = permitted effluent flow (cfs, match s7Q10) s7Q10 = summer low flow used to protect aquatic life from chronic toxicity and human health through the consumption of water, fish, and shellfish from noncarcinogens (cfs) * Discussions are on -going with EPA on how best to address background concentrations Flows other than s7Q10 may be incorporated as applicable: 1 Q 10 = used in the equation to protect aquatic life from acute toxicity QA = used in the equation to protect human health through the consumption of water, fish, and shellfish from carcinogens 30Q2 = used in the equation to protect aesthetic quality 6. The permit writer enters the most recent 2-3 years of effluent data for each pollutant of concern. Data entered must have been taken within four and one-half years prior to the date of the permit application (40 CFR 122.21). The RPA spreadsheet estimates the 95th percentile upper concentration of each pollutant. The Predicted Max concentrations are compared to the Total allowable concentrations to determine if a permit limit is necessary. If the predicted max exceeds the acute or chronic Total allowable concentrations, the discharge is considered to show reasonable potential to violate the water quality standard, and a permit limit (Total allowable concentration) is included in the permit in accordance with the U.S. EPA Technical Support Document for Water Quality -Based Toxics Control published in 1991. 7. When appropriate, permit writers develop facility specific compliance schedules in accordance with the EPA Headquarters Memo dated May 10, 2007 from James Hanlon to Alexis Strauss on 40 CFR 122.47 Compliance Schedule Requirements. 8. The Total Chromium NC WQS was removed and replaced with trivalent chromium and hexavalent chromium Water Quality Standards. As a cost savings measure, total chromium data results may be used as a conservative surrogate in cases where there are no analytical results based on chromium III or VI. In these cases, the projected maximum concentration (95th %) for total chromium will be compared against water quality standards for chromium III and chromium VI. 9. Effluent hardness sampling and instream hardness sampling, upstream of the discharge, are inserted into all permits with facilities monitoring for hardness -dependent metals to ensure the accuracy of the permit limits and to build a more robust hardness dataset.

The average of the downstream data is 41.32 mg/L. This hardness data is utilized in the attached RPA to demonstration that the predicted maximum concentration is less than both the acute and chronic allowable concentration. As a result, no limitation is recommended by the RPA. Additionally, a stress test of hardness data was conducted using an RPA spreadsheet for Copper indicating that a Total Hardness of>29.45 mg/L is required for no reasonable potential to exceed the water quality standard for dissolved copper. The ambient stream data would indicate that Total Hardness for Livingston Creek is well above this stress test endpoint value.

Confirmed that RO sytem has been taken off-line. Water softener (used for formaldehyde production make-up water) backwash is routed to the concrete basin, which also receives first 30 minutes flush stormwater from the hexamine process area. The concrete basin content is used for make up water for cooling towers 5 and 6. All water in these towers is evaporated. Other cooling towers: no. 1 taken out of service, nos. 2, 10 and 11 have been replaced by new no. 3. Nos. 3, 7, and 12 are supplied water via the plant fire tank, which receives all make up water from Livingston Creek. The fire tank is blown down once per week. The one operational boiler currently discharges to the Columbus County POTW. This boiler blowdown may be sent back to outfall 002 at a future date. These cooling towers and boiler have various conditioners and biocides added to the makeup water. Plant hexamine production wastewater is sent to the Columbus County POTW. Oufall 002 was discharging and the effluent was noted to be clear and relatively free of suspended solids. Permittee is currently preparing a general permit application along with biocide worksheets for each chemical. Permittee may also propose a new downstream sample site due to current access issues; there may be a more accessible site which would also be more representative of potential downstream impacts.

C6 vtn wi e n 17 O 1-1 vc d Ca,pe v From: Buller, Thomas <Tom.Buller@hexion.com> Sent: Thursday, June 01, 2017 12:00 PM To: Denard, Derek Cc: Bazinet, Ronald Subject: RE: Biocide Review - Hexion Acme Facility Derek, Nice talking to you this morning. The likely source of copper and zinc at the facility is from legacy production at Oak Bark of a product called Mintrex. Oak Bark ceased production in 2011-2012. Oak Bark did not control their process or production well and Mintrex contaminated most of the site. It is a fine dust and we suspect that it has blown all around the plant site and entrained in cooling towers. The site knows of no other source of copper that could be impacting our cooling tower discharges. The site has seen decreasing concentrations of copper and zinc at all of our stormwater outfalls as well as in our 002 NPDES wastewater discharge which indicates that we are correct that the source of the copper is from legacy Mintrex contamination. In addition our permit application stated that blowdowns from Cooling Towers #3, #7, and #12 would be discharged. Cooling Tower #7 has changed operation and will not be blowing down in the future. In addition Cooling Tower #3 will also be changing operation once we receive our new air permit this year. Therefore our estimated discharge amounts will be decreasing quite significantly. Let me know if you have any questions about this email.

You will see the General Permit Application attached. We have attached the Chemical Treatement/Biocide Forms and documentation for the Cooling Tower chemical treatment and biocide. We are also sending them to the Aquatic Toxicology group. Hexion discovered that our current makeup of our boiler treatment chemicals do not meet the criteria for discharge to the creek. It is important to remember that Hexion is not currently discharging boiler blowdown as that was not allowed under our individual permit. We will be working with our vendor and the Aquatic Toxicology Branch to find a treatment regimen that will meet the criteria. Hexion will not discharge boiler blowdowns until that has been approved by the Aquatic Toxicology Branch. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

Further firefighting advice: Oxidizing material In case of major fire and large quantities: Evacuate area. Fight fire remotely due to the risk of explosion. Decomposition will release oxygen, which will intensify a fire. Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water spray. Closed containers of this material may explode when subjected to heat from surrounding fire. Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses. Fire fighting equipment should be thoroughly decontaminated after use. Fire and explosion hazards: Explosive when mixed with combustible material. Avoid breathing fumes from fire exposed material. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES In case of spill or leak: Prevent further leakage or spillage if you can do so without risk. Evacuate area of all unnecessary personnel. Ventilate the area. Eliminate all ignition sources. Avoid generation of vapors. Avoid contact with cellulose, paper, sawdust or similar substances. Risk of self -ignition or promotion of fires. Combustible materials exposed to hydrogen peroxide should be rinsed immediately with large amounts of water to ensure that all the hydrogen peroxide is removed. Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible absorbent material such as clean sand, earth, diatomaceous earth or non -acidic clay and place into suitable properly labeled containers for prompt disposal. Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and sewers. Consult a regulatory specialist to determine appropriate state or local reporting requirements, for assistance in waste characterization and/or hazardous waste disposal and other requirements listed in pertinent environmental permits. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling General information on handling: Do not taste or swallow. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Avoid breathing vapor or mist.

EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION Airborne Exposure Guidelines: HYDROGEN PEROXIDE (7722-84-1) US. ACGIH Threshold Limit Values Time weighted average 1 ppm US. OSHA Table Z-1 Limits for Air Contaminants (29 CFR 1910.1000) PEL: 1 ppm (1.4 mg/m3) Only those components with exposure limits are printed in this section. Limits with skin contact designation above have skin contact effect. Air sampling alone is insufficient to accurately quantitate exposure. Measures to prevent significant cutaneous absorption may be required. Limits with a sensitizer designation above mean that exposure to this material may cause allergic reactions. Engineering controls: Investigate engineering techniques to reduce exposures below airborne exposure limits or to otherwise reduce exposures. Provide ventilation if necessary to minimize exposures or to control exposure levels to below airborne exposure limits (if applicable see above),If practical, use local mechanical exhaust ventilation at sources of air contamination such as open process equipment Consult ACGIH ventilation manual or NFPA Standard 91 for design of exhaust systems. Respiratory protection: Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Where airbome exposure is likely or airborne exposure limits are exceeded (if applicable, see above), use NIOSH approved respiratory protection equipment appropriate to the material and/or its components. Full facepiece equipment is recommended and, if used, replaces need for face shield and/or chemical goggles. Consult respirator manufacturer to determine appropriate type equipment for a given application. Observe respirator use limitations specified by NIOSH or the manufacturer. For emergency and other conditions where there may be a potential for significant exposure or where exposure limit may be significantly exceeded, use an approved full face positive -pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus or positive -pressure airline with auxiliary self-contained air supply. Respiratory protection programs must comply with 29 CFR § 1910.134.
