Jenny,
Thanks to you and David for your time talking about the permit renewal yesterday. I think I have a better feel for all the things going
on at your facility. I did want to try and summarize some things from our discussion and also highlight a few areas where we would
like some additional information or where you needed some additional guidance from us.
• We discussed the current outfalls at the facility. We would like to make sure that we have all the right locations and everyone
is on the same page with these. It seems that the best way to accomplish this is through the regional office site visit that will
be coming up after the draft permit is ready. In particular it seems that you have questions about outfall 0005A since it
doesn't get much flow. We understand that once a draft is prepared, we will be contacted by the regional office to schedule.
• The major facility changes since the renewal application in 2014 seems to be the shift of some activities due to the loss of
property in the southeastern part of your property due to DOT construction. The renewal application also noted the change
to E -coat system and the installation of the aggregate waste storage building (condition of 2009 permit). Please see attached
(Site Layout, Revised 9-2018) that indicates new storage locations for aggregate materials and truck parking within Area 1.
The propane tanks in Area VI have also recently been removed and pipe product is now being stored in that location.
• We discussed the monitoring results and the references to outfalls 001, 002 and 004 being "net deductions from upgradient
outfalls" It would be helpful for me if you could provide a little bit more information on this process and maybe even give
mean example of how this is determined in your monitoring efforts. During a rain event, samples are taken at our
downstream outfall location and also at a location upstream of the foundry. The concentration from our location is
subtracted from the upstream location concentration to get the reportable quantity. For example for the July 2018 monthly
sampling for Zinc from SWO04: Net SWO04 Zinc Conc, ug/L = (SWO04 Zn Conc, ug/L) — (SW003 Zn Conc, ug/L) = (124 ug/L) —
(56.5 ug/L) = 67.5 ug/L = 67.5 mg/L.
• We discussed the changes in the benchmark values for some of the metal parameters. With some adjustments over the last
few years to Department water quality standards there have also been some changes to our benchmark values. You will
notice in the draft permit that a number of the metals benchmarks will increase. This should make a difference in your
monitoring under the tier system. We look forward to seeing the new concentrations.

You indicated in our discussion that the contact information that we forwarded for your review is out of data and needs to be
corrected. Please forward me the corrections and I will make the needed changes in our system. Please see attached file
(NCS000040 Contacts Report, Updated 9-2018).
If you have an electronic version of your site plan that you could provide to me it would be helpful in getting information
to our regional office. We are trying to get more information available electronically, but we don't have the ability to scan
large plans. Please see attached file (Site Layout, Revised 9-2018).
We also discussed the possibility of getting updated summary information on your facility's qualitative monitoring results
since the renewal application in 2014. You were going to take a look at this at see if you had any information that you
could easily -provide. Please see attached file (Outfall Sampling Data, Updated 9-2018).
I hope I hit all the major areas. If you have any questions please let me know. As I mentioned, we will prepare a draft permit and
send it toy you for comment in the next few weeks. Our regional office will also schedule a site visit once the draft is available.
Thanks for your help.

Hello, and first let me apologize for how long it has taken us to get going on your permit renewal. A number of issues over the last
few years have led to a backlog on renewal of our Individual permits. I would like to set up a time where I can call and talk with you,
or other staff as appropriate, about the renewal. I will be working on this process. Since the previous renewal application came in
back at the end of 2013 I'm guessing there may be some changes that we should discuss and possibly have documented for the
renewal. In addition, here are a few other items that would be helpful if you can provide updates:
• I have attached a printout of contacts we have in our database for the facility. Can you please review this and let me know if
there are changes to contacts and if the owner/facility information is still accurate?
• Federal regulations changed in the last few years to require electronic reporting of data. We are not yet at the stage of being
able to collect stormwater data this way, but we will have to work to get accurate outfall location information in our system in
order to meet federal requirements for electronic reporting when our systems can handle the data. If you could provide the
lat/long coordinates for your facility's outfall points that would be helpful.
• If you can provide a summary of monitoring information since your application submittal in December 2013 that would be
help as well.
• I am very interested in any changes that may have occurred in your facility or processes since your application submittal that
could affect pollutants discharged in stormwater runoff. I see in our files that there were some adjustments to activities in
2016 due to land being sold to NC DOT. If there are other changes on site or changes in your process we would like to know
about those.
• If there have been changes, a new site map showing the most up to date layout of activities, outfalls and drainage will be
needed.
I work part time and I am generally in the office three days a week (Monday— Wednesday). Maybe we can find a day/time soon
that works to talk. For this week I will be in the office Today and Wednesday (8/7-8/8). Next week I will be out of the office and
then I'll be back Aug 20-22.
Thanks for your help!
