REGAN Secretary LINDA CULPEPPER Director Mr. Jason Frost, Vice President (via email) DC Charlotte Plaza LLLP 191 Peachtree St. Suite 500 Atlanta, GA 30303 Dear Mr. Frost: NORTH CAROLINA Environmental Quality January 10, 2019 RE: Compliance Inspection Report Permit #NC0089656 Dimensional Place 1515 South Tryon Street, Charlotte 28203 Mecklenburg County Enclosed is a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection report for the inspection conducted at the subject site on December 20, 2018, by MRO staff. The MRO would like to extend a thank you to Gregg Jordan and Kevin Watts of Holder, and to Chris Orrell and Joe Nestor of ECS Limited for their combined assistance during the site visit. During the site visit, water was observed to be present on a large portion of the basement floor. MRO staff was able to confirm the presence of the water to be the result of a recent sump pump failure. Due to the sump pump failure, the sump alarm light was observed to be on. However, the electrical connection to the sum pump and the sump alarm was unclear and had to be explained to MRO personnel by Holder staff to assure that the pump connection was traceable. Currently, Holder staff need to perform daily inspections of the sump pump to ensure the pump is correctly functioning. The building control room was not able to be viewed during the site visit, as it is not currently completed to a status where treatment system telemetry would be able to be viewed at the time of the site visit. During the site visit, Holder staff made the suggestion of conducting a Skype conference call near the end of January 2019, to be able to review the building control room. During this Skype call, the MRO should be able to view how the telemetry system will display the treatment system alarm in the building control room.

NCO089656 I11 121 18/12/20 117 18 JCJ Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary) On December 20, 2018, MRO staff conducted a compliance inspection of the Dimensional Place de -watering and treatment system under permit NC0089656. The system has been installed as described in the modified permit. A review of the treatment system indicates midpoint sampling is available to the system operator as a method of internal monitoring of breakthrough of the primary carbon vessel. However, the permit only requires effluent data to be submitted. Please submit the October 2018 electronic Discharge Monitoring Report(eDMR) to the Central Proccessing Center in Raleigh. eDMR reports are expected to be submitted within 30 days from the end of the previous month. A copy of the October eDMR was submitted via email to MRO staff. During the site visit, mention was made that an Operations and Maintenance(O&M) log is required to be kept for routine system maintenance, flow measurements and waste carbon manifests. The permittee may use whatever means they chose to record the O&M information. However, the O&M log is required to be recorded on a minimum of monthly periods. However, the MRO suggests that weekly O&M information be recorded for the first year of operations for the purpose of system calibration. Laboratory analytical results should be kept as a separate record from the O&M log. No calibration sticker was present on the effluent flow meter. As this is a newly purchased meter, please provide a copy of the meter purchase order which can be used as verification that the meter calibration has been within a calendar year. Effluent meter calibration should also be maintained in the O&M logs book as this information is reviewed during site inspections. The carbon vessel has a portal to be used for the extraction of spent carbon from the vessel. MRO staff indicated that all waste carbon needs to be tracked via a waste manifest. The outfall from the treatment system was reviewed during the site visit. No foam, color, soilds or odor was observed during the site visit.

Comment: A large area of the basement floor was covered with water due to a recent sump pump failure. The sump alarm light was on durinq the site visit. A replacement sump had been installed to allow water to be drawn down into the sump well. Permanant and back-uD sum Dumps are Dlanned to be installed. The new Dumps will be directly connected to the main building control center. However, MRO staff was not able to review the building control area and the connection to the control room has not yet been established. MRO staff has requested to be notified when the connection has been comDleted and to have Holder send DhotoaraDhs of the new DumDs connected to the system. A skvae meetina is to be arranaed in January 2019 to be able to view how the system notifies building operations in the event of system failure. Permit Yes No NA NE (If the present permit expires in 6 months or less). Has the permittee submitted a new ❑ ❑ 0 ❑ application?
