Good Afternoon Andrew,
I am contactingyou on behalf of the Gold Bond Building Products Mount Holly Plant(NCG070175)to report an
upset within our stormwater system that has resulted in an unanticipated bypass of a stormwater control
measure.Yesterday while routinely cleaning the filter screen in our#2 retention pond, personnel from the plant
lost their grip on the filter screen and it fell puncturingthe plastic pipe leading into the outfall#2.This puncture has
allowed water from the pond to free flow through the pipe and into outfall#2.The water that is flowing out of
outfall#2 is coming directly out of the retention pond and water quality is not a concern, but the water is flowing
out of the pond at a faster rate than it was designed for so we wanted to report the upset to the NCDEQ.
Repairs are underway to replace the pipe and we expect the issue to be resolved tomorrow and we will inform you
when the repairs have been completed.
Please reach out if you need any additional information at this time.
Thankyou.
Very Respectfully,
Fred Perard
