Based on the recent site inspections for NCS000315 — Nexeo Solutions, NCS000304 — Gerdau Ameristeel and NCS000049
— IMG Resins, I recommend issuing all 3 as drafted. Please the attached inspected reports. Also, no data from Charlotte
Pipe yet, please keep that one on hold.

Thanks for the info James. It looks like you have communicated directly with them and they are going to email you the
results. Could you forward the results to us when you get them. Also, do you feel that these four outfalls will be the
ones they should be monitoring? If so, we will need to get locations for the outfalls (lat/Long) so we can update the
outfalls in BIMS.
Thanks

We inspected Charlotte Pipe last week and ask that you hold off on issuing the new permit until some addition sampling
/data analysis can be completed. Please see the attached report and site map. The other 3 sites will be inspected next
week.
Please call if questions.

Subject: Four Permit Renewals in Mecklenburg County
Hey Guys,
I have four more Mecklenburg County stormwater permit renewals heading to public notice. These will all appear in a
public notice in the Charlotte Observer on Friday Sept 21" and the comment period will run through October
21'. Please take a look at the draft permits at the Laserfiche links below and let us know if you have any

questions/concerns. It would be helpful if you could schedule a site visit for each facility and check these out if possible
over the next 30 days. The Laserfiche links have the draft permit and cover letter and other information that is part of
the renewal file. Let me know if you need any other information or have any problems accessing the files. Below for
each I have included some areas for review.
NCS000040 — Charlotte Pipe and Foundry Co. —1335 S. Clarkson St.
https://edocs.deg.nc.gov/Stormwater/Browse.aspx?id=720757&dbid=0&repo=WaterResources
This facility probably needs some review of their outfall locations. They have some areas where they have questions
since at least one outfall (005A) doesn't get much flow. The facility continues to have some issues with some metals
(Cu, Pb and Zn remain in the permit).
NCS000049 — IMG Resins USA, Inc. — 3300 Westinghouse Blvd.
https://edocs.deg.nc.gov/Stormwater/Browse.aspx?id=720887&dbid=0&repo=WaterResources
One big issue with this facility relates again to outfalls. Back in 2010 there was an inspection that found that a perimeter
Swale around the facility may instead be a stream segment. They had been monitoring the swale. We asked them to
instead monitor an outfall to the Swale. After talking with them I think this really needs to be worked out at the
site. The correspondence from before is in the Laserfiche folder.
NCS000304 — Gerdau Ameristeel US, Inc. — 6601 Lakeview Rd.
https://edocs.deg.nc.gov/Stormwater/Browse.aspx?id=706112&dbid=0&repo=WaterResources
This facility has a number of ponds onsite and they capture and use a lot of stormwater in their industrial process. The
ponds are pumped from on to another until it gets to the North pond which feeds into their industrial process use. They
also have a closed loop wastewater recycle system. Process water apparently doesn't comingle with the stormwater but
probably a good idea to check that. The stormwater outfalls appear to only discharge when there are larger storms that
lead to overflow from the ponds (they indicated 2yr storm or more). They want to continue monitoring one outfall (4)
as representative. Probably worth reviewing this to make sure it is okay. Look at the review material in the files along
with the documents they provided. They describe their stormwater flow pretty well and give some maps that help
also. There was an issue in a 2013 inspection about potential dry weather flow from their landfill and they never
responded to the regional office's request to provide info on this. The current staff have indicated that they feel that all
of the leachate is properly collected and the flow was from surface runoff that takes a while to work its way to the
outfall. Probably worth check on this also.
NCS000315 — Nexeo Solutions, LLC — 3930 Glenwood Rd
https://edocs.deg.nc.gov/Stormwater/Browse.aspx?id=721118&dbid=0&repo=WaterResources
Take a look at the review document in the Laserfiche folder. There were some questions we asked that we haven't
heard back on yet. Related to two outfalls that were removed from the most recent site plan and getting more
information on the containment pond onsite and how it functions, when it discharges, etc.
Sorry for the long email. Hope it is some help. Let me know if you have any questions. My time here as a temp is
winding down. I should be here through a good bit if not all of October, so hopefully we can get these moving toward
issuance before then.
Thanks!
