Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated May 9, 1994 (or as subsequently amended). This final permit includes no changes from the draft permit sent to you on March 15, 2006. Please be aware that South Buffalo Creek is listed as an impaired stream on North Carolina's 303(d) list. This means that the stream does not meet all water quality standards. Although urban stormwater runoff has been identified as the main contributor to this degradation, the Division will continue to monitor compliance at your facility and take appropriate steps should the discharge be found to cause any further impairment of the stream. If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings (6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714). Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding. Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division may require modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water Quality or permits required by the Division of Land Resources, the Coastal Area Management Act or any other Federal or Local governmental permit that may be required. tCarolina urall North Carolina Division of Water Quality 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 Phone (919) 733-7015 Customer Service Internet: www.ncwateEguality.org Location: 512 N.

There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts. Permit NCO078000 A. (2.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LINUT (QRTRLY) The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 22%. The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent versions or "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months of January, April, July, and October. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes. If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV below the permit limit, then multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in each of the two following months as described in "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the highest concentration having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest concentration that does have a detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of "detectable impairment," collection methods, exposure regimes, and further statistical methods are specified in the "North Carolina Phase U Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the parameter code TGP3B for the pass/fail results and THP3B for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Quality Environmental Sciences Section 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621 Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made. Test data shall be complete, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved designate signature. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream. Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the report with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to the Environmental Sciences Section at the address cited above. Permit NCO078000 CHRONIC TOXICITY, cont'd Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, monitoring will be required during the following month. Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re- opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits. NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring. imap://bob.sledge%40dwq.denr.ncmail.net@cros.ncmail.net:143/fet...

This is the former Worth Chemical Corporation site, which became known as Brenntag following a merger of the two companies in 2001. The contamination occurred as a result of spills collected in the former Worth Chemical's containment pond (the pond has been cleaned and filled for many years). Contaminants in the groundwater are chlorinated and non -chlorinated organic solvents. Previous notes in the file indicate the 22% IWC for toxicity testing is probably based upon flow of the final receiving stream — but toxicants are based on the immediate discharge point. South Buffalo Creek is shown on the 2006 draft 303d list in this stream section for impaired biological activity and turbidity, both attributed to stormwater runoff and not applicable to this discharge. Current (and recommended) Requirement: Chronic P/F @ 22% (Jan., Apr., July, Oct.) The facility has not failed a toxicity test during the past two permit cycles. FILE REVIEW/COMPLIANCE SUMMARY DMR data were reviewed from January 2002 through December 2005. No exceedances of permit limits were reported. In fact, monitored parameters showed no detection throughout this period of review. Flow averaged 0.04895 MGD during months when the system was in operation. Fmct Sheet NPDI:IS NC0078000 Renewal Page I TOXICANT/REASONABLE POTENTIAL ANALYSIS A Reasonable Potential Analysis was not run because all reported values were non detect. WASTE LOAD ALLOCATION The last waste load allocation was performed in 1989. SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES No changes are proposed for this permit.

NPDES Permit No. N00078000 Dear Mr. Weaver: On behalf of Brenntag Southeast, Inc. (Brenntag Southeast), ARCADIS G&M of North Carolina, Inc. (ARCADIS) has enclosed one original and two copies of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit renewal application for the continued discharge of effluent from a groundwater remediation system at the Brenntag Southeast facility (formerly Worth Chemical facility) in Greensboro, North Carolina. Treated groundwater from the remediation system is discharged directly to an un-named tributary of South Buffalo Creek located along the eastern boundary of the site. Other items enclosed with this letter in support of the NPDES permit renewal application include: a copy of the October 2005 Discharge Monitoring Report (Attachment A) which summarizes the most recent analytical data for the system effluent; a USGS topographic map of the project area that depicts the location of the system outfall (Figure 1); and a site map that depicts the route of the treated water to the discharge point (Figure 2). 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 (i.e. silt, iron and manganese precipitate) generated during the groundwater extraction process are filtered from the treatment stream using bag filters. The existing NPDES permit for the facility does not have an effluent monitoring requirement for suspended solids.

Also attached is the laboratory analytical data report for the parameters shown on the DMR and a copy of the Effluent Aquatic Toxicity Report Form (Form AT-1). During October 2005, the groundwater remediation system was down for the first seven days of the month (October 1 through October 7, 2005). The system was restarted on October 7, 2005, following completion of the repairs to the effluent transfer pump. A total of 1,184,337 gallons of water were extracted and treated by the groundwater treatment system from October 1, 2005 to October 31, 2005. As of October 31, 2005, approximately 223,810,595 gallons of water had been extracted and treated by the groundwater remediation system since activation of the system in October 1992. The groundwater remediation system effluent was sampled on October 18, 2005, and the effluent sample was analyzed for selected volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by EPA Method 8260 as required by the NPDES permit. All parameters were in compliance with permit requirements. The remediation system effluent was sampled for the chronic toxicity test on October 18 and 21, 2005. The grab samples were transported on ice to Research & Analytical Laboratories, Inc. in Kernersville, North Carolina. The samples were analyzed in accordance with the test procedures outlined in the North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Toxicity Procedure (revised February 1998).
