Individual Permit Renewal
1612 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1612
To Whom It May Concern:
The current NPDES Stormwater Discharge Permit for Rohm and Haas Chemicals LLC in Charlotte (Permit #
NCS000386) expires on 4/30/2014. The plant wishes to renew the permit, and is submitting this application for
permit renewal prior to the required date as indicated in the permit.
Enclosed you will find the Permit Renewal Application Form, Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Certification
and the Supplemental Information as required by the form. I have marked "Don't Know" on the application form
for the question concerning whether the site discharges into impaired waters. The receiving stream (Brier
Creek) is not listed on the 2012 North Carolina 303(d) List and it is not depicted on the NCDWQ Impaired
Waters Map. Several miles Southwest of the facility, Brier Creek joins the Little Sugar Creek, which is on the
2012 NC 303(d) List.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need additional information. My phone number is
[phone], Extension 3050 and my email address is [e-mail].

building locations and impervious surfaces should be clearly noted.
MV) 2. A summary of Analytical Monitoring results during the term of the existing permit (if your
permit required analytical sampling). Do not submit individual lab reports. The summary
can consist of a table including such items as outfall number, parameters sampled, lab
results, date sampled, and storm event data. 11
3M►' 3. A summary of the Visual Monitoring results. Do not submit individual monitoring reports.
The summary can consist of a table including such items as outfall number, parameters
surveyed, observations, and date monitoring conducted.
TM t'✓ 4. A summary of the Best Management Practices utilized at the permitted facility. Summary

Summary of Best Management Practices
Rohm and Haas Chemicals, LLC
Charlotte Plant
The following Best Management Practices have been implemented to protect stormwater discharge
from contamination at the Rohm and Haas Charlotte Plant.
Good
Plant Rounds are conducted to identify areas in need of housekeeping. A recurring
Housekeeping
task list is used to ensure basic housekeeping is accomplished on a routine basis.
Maintenance is performed under roof where feasible.
Preventive
The plant has an extensive preventive maintenance program to extend the life of
Maintenance
operating equipment and to minimize the potential for leaks. This includes a
mechanical integrity program that complies with the requirements of OSTIA PSM.
No additional controls are considered necessary.
Inspections /
Several areas of the plant require periodic inspections because of their potential for
Outfall Sampling
Requirements
serious environmental, operations, or personal consequences in the event of a failure
or malfunction.
Plant areas must be frequently inspected for spills or leaks which could lead to a
release of chemicals to the environment or a threat to human health. Inspections must
be performed often enough to identify problems in time to correct them before they
cause any damage or harm. These inspections are accomplished via plant rounds.
Plant rounds procedures have been developed which identify areas and equipment to
be inspected, types of problems to look for during the inspection, personnel or
department responsible for the inspections, and the inspection frequency.
The Stormwater discharge outfall and all associated conveyance and storage facilities
shall be inspected semi-annually per the stormwater permit conditions (November —
April, and May -October). Written records of these inspections are maintained on site.
Sampling and analysis of stormwater discharges will be required s specified in the
facility stormwater permit. Results of these sampling events (SDO Monitoring
Report) should be submitted to the Central Files, Division of Water Quality, Raleigh,
North Carolina, and maintained in the Appendix to this Plan.
Spill Prevention
All employees are actively encouraged to report both spills and potential spills
and Response
through our LOPC (Loss of Primary Containment) reporting process. Reports are
actively reviewed and ranked by likelihood and potential impact. Pre-emptive actions
are taken to prevent spills before they occur. This is part of an ongoing effort to
eliminate all spills at the site.
A Consolidated Emergency Response Plan is maintained by the site with instructions
on Spill Response. It includes specific instructions on spills to stormwater systems,
including notification of NCDENR.
Management of
Runoff from Areas II, III and IV is discharged through SDO #001 only after it has
Runoff
been assessed for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. This is done by written
procedure, and includes a record of sampling results.
October 2013, J. Watts

Summary of Best Management Practices
Rohm and Haas Chemicals, LLC
Charlotte Plant
Employee
Personnel handling chemicals or who are involved in environmental protection and
Training
product safety activities at the site receive training in the safe handling of oils,
hazardous substances/wastes, and in spill and release prevention and response as
required by their assigned jobs.
Employees involved directly in releasing stormwater from SDO #001 or in sampling
stormwater for compliance monitoring receive training on those topics.
Employee training records are maintained by the Training Coordinator.
General Employee
Training topics include a general overview of chemical use in the plant, how to
Awareness
recognize problems (i.e., potential and actual spills and leaks), and procedures for
addressing releases. All employees are made aware of the Emergency Response Plan,
and are encouraged to read and understand the purpose and contents of the Plan.
Employee training records are maintained by the Training Coordinator.
Emergency
Because the Plant will evacuate in the event of a significant spill or release, no formal
Response Team
Emergency Response Team exists. All plant personnel are trained on their roles in
implementing the Emergency Response Plan, including specific roles of certain job
functions. These roles are identified in the Emergency Response Plan.
The following topics are covered in training:
• First aid (appropriate job titles)
• Evacuation plans
• Recognition of nature of spills (i.e., flammable, etc.)
• Spill control, containment, and clean-up procedures
• Use of various types of fire extinguishers
• Documentation of training and proficiency
Facility Security
The Charlotte Plant is enclosed by a security fence (6' to 8' high) and is manned
continuously. The facility is illuminated at night. Lighting is sufficient to allow
visible detection of leaks, spills or releases during darkness. Access to the operations
area of the site is gained through key -coded electronic security gates.
Recordkeeping
All records of inspection, certifications, incident reports, and training documentation
and Reporting
are maintained on site. The Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan and all associated
documentation are retained for a period of five years.
October 2013, J. Watts

Significant Industrial Activity Changes
Rohm and Haas Chemicals, LLC
Charlotte Plant
The last Stormwater permit application for the Rohm and Haas Charlotte Plant was submitted in
February of 2006. Since then, the following significant changes have been made:
• Installation of a new Reactor Train and associated Processing and Storage Vessels
• Completion of several Mechanical Integrity Driven Projects including replacement of monomer
feed lines from the Tank Farm to the Reactor Deck
Neither of these changes increase the likelihood of non-stormwater discharges or required changes to
our established Best Management Practices.
October 2013, J. Watts
