Dear Mr. Krebs:
Results of analytical sampling of our storm water outfall designated SDO002 have exceeded the
benchmark value for Zinc as outlined in our permit on more than four occasions. This letter is to
inform you of this issue as required in the permit.
We are continuing to investigate the possible sources of Zinc into SDO002. Actions to date include
completion of a site sampling plan to eliminate potential sources, comparison of results to production
records to look for correlation and modification of maintenance activities such that the activities do
not cause Zinc to be present in the storm water at unacceptable levels. Following these activities, two
consecutive sample results of SDO002 indicated results below the benchmark values for Zinc, leading
us to believe we had resolved the issue. However, subsequent results from SDO002 have exceeded
the benchmark value. Additional investigative inspections have been performed, and more corrective
actions are planned to eliminate potential causes. We will continue to sample our storm water outfalls
monthly as required by the Tier Two program in the permit until three consecutive sample results are
below benchmark values.
If you need any further information, please feel free to call me or Jamie Watts at 704-596-3021.

ADDENDUM
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program was established under the federal
Clean Water Act and then delegated to the Division of Water Quality for implementation in North Carolina. The
NPDES permitting program for stormwater discharges was established i.n 1990. Phase I focuses on site and
operations planning to reduce pollutant sources.
Through the NPDES permitting program industrial facilities that fall into one of the subject ten categories are
required to obtain permit coverage under a general permit or an individual permit, depending upon the
facilities SIC code and the industrial activity occurring at the facility. There are currently 19 active general
stormwater permits in North Carolina. One condition that is applicable to both the general permits and
individual stormwater permits is the requirement to develop and implement site -specific comprehensive
Stormwater Pollution Prevention plans (SPPP). These plans are required to include a comprehensive
evaluation of the site and operations to reduce pollutant sources and prevent pollutant discharge.
Copies of the general permits and accompanying documents can be accessed from the following webpage:
httpa/portal.ncdenr,org/web/wqlwslsu/npdessw#General_Permits _NPDES, Permit text; technical bulletins,
discharge monitoring forms, and a Notice of Intent (which is the application for coverage under a NPDES
General Stormwater Permit] can be found on this website.
The following items are a subset of permit requirements and are listed to assist you and help bring your
attention to certain permitting issues, process and condition requirements of your permit. Please see the
above mentioned website to obtain a copy of the permit so you may fully comply with all the conditions therein.
Failure to properly comply with conditions of the permit, like those bulleted below, is a violation(s) of
the permit and subject to civil penalty assessment(s) of up to $25,000.00 per day.
• Industrial facilities that fall into one of the subject ten categories are required to obtain permit coverage
under a general NPDES stormwater permit or an individual NPDES stormwater permit
• All persons desiring to have facilities covered by a General Permit must register with the Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) by filing of a Notice of Intent (NOI) and Applicable Fees.
• This Notice of Intent (NO]) must be submitted and a Certificate of Coverage issued prior to any
discharge of stormwater associated with the industrial -activity, process wastewater, and/or mine
dewatering.
• Once the Notice of Intent is received, DWQ will review and determine whether a Certificate of Coverage
(COC) may be issued. If this Certificate of Coverage is issued the facility is covered by the General
Permit. That is, the permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater, process wastewater, and/or mine
dewatering pursuant to the type of General Permit until the permit expires or is modified or revoked.
• Any other point -source discharge to surface waters of the state is prohibited unless it is an allowable
non-stormwater discharge or is covered by another permit, authorization, or approval.
• There are currently 19 active general permits. Permit conditions vary accordingly; however, most of the
permits have the following condition requirements (you must read your entire permit to ensure full
compliance):

VIA OVERNIGHT COURIER
RE: Overflow of Process Wastewater Basin, Rohm and Haas Orr Road Plant
NPDES (Stormwater) Permit No. NCS000386
Dear Mr. Bou-Ghazale:
As we discussed in our phone conversation on Wednesday, August 27, 2007, the Rohm and Haas
Plant in Charlotte, NC experienced an overflow of one of the Plant's process wastewater basins
due to the heavy rain event that occurred on August 26th-27th. It is roughly estimated that about
20 gallons of the Plant's process wastewater overflowed the basin and co -mingled with normal
stormwater runoff. This stormwater was initially contained on -site, but due to the extraordinary
amount of rain, overflowed the detention area and had to be released.
At the beginning of the day on 8/26/08, steps were taken in waste treatment to accommodate the
rainwater expected throughout the day. Wastewater was transferred out of the raw waste basin
that receives the majority of process rainwater, and accumulated rainwater in the stormwater
detention area was tested and released. Approximately 2-4 inches of rain was expected based on
weather forecasts.
At approximately 11 AM, rain intensity increased and the operator took additional steps to
increase the transfer of wastewater from the receiving basin. As extra pumps were being set up,
an estimated 20 gallons of wastewater overflowed the basin, and contaminated the stormwater
detention area. Discharge flow from the detention area was immediately stopped to prevent
discharge of the contaminated stormwater, and pumps were set up to transfer the stormwater to
the aeration basin for discharge to the Plant's permitted city sewer outfall.
Because additional rain was expected, extra measures to prevent additional overflow were also
taken, including pumping wastewater to available empty tanks and rail cars, stopping transfer

operations and blocking drains to waste treatment to minimize the volume of stormwater routed
to the waste basin, and running the waste treatment operation at maximum rate (24 hours/day).
At approximately 3 AM on 8/27/08, the continued heavy rain began flooding buildings on site
and overflowing the stormwater detention area dam. The stormwater discharge valve was
opened to drain the accumulated stormwater to minimize damage to site equipment and
structures. At 7 AM, the darn for the stormwater detention area was observed to have collapsed
(see Figure 1).
The material contained in the basin that overflowed consists of latex emulsion rinse water from
the Plant production process. This material is non -hazardous, and similar to whitewater from
rinsing out a latex paint brush.
The cause of the overflow was the heavy volume of rain that fell that day, along with the
facility's Best Management Practices design in which areas of potential stormwater
contamination from tank truck and rail -car loading and unloading operations drain to the Plant's
waste treatment process. While rainwater from heavy rains is normally contained in the waste
treatment process, the extremely heavy volume and intensity of this rain event exceeded the
holding capacity of the waste treatment process, and of the stormwater detention area.
The Plant's rain gauge overflowed at 5". It is estimated that I I+ inches of rain fell at the site,
based on reports from nearby rain gauges (as reported in the Charlotte Observer and weather
station websites), and from estimates of rain depth in dikes at the Plant. Nearby weather station
websites (www.wunderground.com) also indicate rainfall rates up to 2 inches/hour in the time
period corresponding to the raw waste basin overflow.
The Plant has no permit limits on stormwater effluent, thus no limit violation exists. The Plant
was being operated in accordance with proper procedures, including those in the Plant's
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and the SPCC Plan.
