Owner's Other Permits: • WQ0023197 — Land Application of Residual Solids (503 exempt) — Moncure, NC WTP Alum Residuals Land Application Program + NC000189 — Wastewater Discharge — Performance Fibers / Moncure: two-outfalls, the second has some stormwater (pH, temp., TAE6C whole toxicity) - • Air Permit - 3703700002 2. General Observations: The plant operations most likely to cause stormwater pollution are material storage, drainage processes, loading and unloading, and 1r,,ste disposal practices. 3. Impairment: Neither, the Haw River not ,Shaddox Creek is listed on the 303d list of impaired waters; however, they both are Water Supply Waters. The .2005 Basinwide Plan states the Haw River is Supporting aquatic life but Moncure Plywood (NC0023442) had sigiificant violations of dissolved oxygen permit limits. Shaddox Creek is Not Rated for aquatic life on an evaluated basis because Sierrapine Limited (NC0040701) had significant violations with TSS permit lin7lits. The facility has installed screens to solve the TSS violations. However, both of these issues could have adversely impacted aquatic life. 4. Threatened and Endangered: Based on the Natural Heritage Virtual Workroom there is one federal endangered plant species within two mile of the facility is the Ptilimnium nodosum (Harperella). One state threatened species Moxostoma sp. 3 (Carolina Redhorse). 5. Location: Facility discharges stormwater to two waterbodies: an unnamed tributary to Haw River and Shaddox Creek. 6. Industrial Changes Since Previous Permit: The only change since the last renewal application was the shutdown and decommissioning of a beaming operation in 2007. 7: Analytical Monitoring Notes: See Table 1. There was no data collected in the fall of 2007, 2008 and 2009 because rainfall events that occurred during those time periods (September — November) were not representative storm events. - The last reviewer noted the facility stores srveral chemicals outside that may be pollutants of concern. TPA, glycol, fuel and diesel oil tanks, gasoline tanks, caustic, and -finish oil tanks are not stored under roof, according to the site map. Many of these tanks have secondary containment with diked -area inspections required before release. The majority of these areas drain to the NPDES wastewater outfall and fall under another permit (NC0001899), which also includes acute toxicity -monitoring. (Information for previous staff report by Bethany Georgoulias) The facility uses antimony as a catalyst, and drift from two process water cooling towers is the likely source of the metal in stormwater runoff. Antimony (Sb) was kept in the previous permit even though the reported values were below the benchmarks because process water cooling tower drift still has potential to contaminate stormwater. The old benchmark in the permit was 4.5 mg/l but it is now 0.09 mg/l which is''/z FAV. The EPA's human health and organism consumption criteria is 0.006 mg/l. This value reflects the drinking water standard (not a stream standard for water supply waters in North Carolina). This value is important to note because there are values at outfall 3 and 4 that are above this value. The reviewer recommends retaining Antimony in order to continue monitor this parameter. This industry is covered in the EPA Multi -Sector permit under Sector C: Chemicals and Allied Products. The permit includes zinc monitoring; however, this site is not a likely source. Based on the pervious staff report, years ago, the site used a zinc coating and a zinc -containing anti -corrosive material (Zinc is monitored at the NPDES wastewater outfall 002, where some stormwater drained); however the site no longer uses any zinc or chromates. Reviewer recommends retaining monitoring for pH, TSS, and Antimony; pHs are sometimes low and TSS is over the benchmarks in 3 of the 4 outfalls. Page 4 of 8 r NC3000100 8. Qualitative Monitoring Notes: Permittee sent results for four observations from 06-09. Cloudy clarity and brown colors noted occasionally, as well as some floating solids periodically noted.

Reviewer recommends retaining monitoring for pH, TSS, and Antimony: See•above for rationale. 2. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as defined in Part lI Section B. The permittee.must also document the total precipitation for each event. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating "No Flow" within 30 days, of the end of the six-month sampling period. Additionally, samples must be taken a minimum of 60 days apart, as specified in Table 2. 31. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring have been added to this draft permit. Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. 4. The permittee is required to collect all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during representative storm events as defined in Part.II Sectioif B. Qualitative monitoring is required regardless of representative outfall status. ' 5. The permittee is responsible for all monitoring until,the renewal permit.is issued. See Footnote 1 of Tables 1, 4, and 5. 6. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall parameter is in this permit, however.) 7. Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with analytical and qualitative monitoring. Other Proposed Changes to the Previous Permit: 1. Additional guidance is provided about the Site Plan requirements. The site map must now identify if the receiving stream is impaired and if it has a TMDL established. It must also describe potential pollutants in each outfall. The map requirements are stated more explicitly. And, the site plan must contain a list of significant spills that have occurred in the past three years and also must certify that the outfalls have been inspected to ensure that they do not contain non-stormwater discharges.. Additional information is provided in Part II Section A. 2. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Management Plan have been specified in.Part II Section A. More details regarding secondary containment are provided. 3. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been specified in Part I1,Section A. The plan must also be updated annually to include a list of significant spills and to certify that the outfalls do not contain non-stormwater discharges. 4. The facility must now implement a semi-annual Facility Inspection Program of the site's stormwater management controls as specified in Part II Section A. 5. Information regarding the No Exposure Exclusion has been added to this draft permit. If industrial materials and activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described in 40 CFR § I22.26(g), the facility may qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES stormwater discharge permit requirements. Additional information is provided in Part I Section A.

Stormwater Permit Number NCS000100 Chatham County Dear Mr. Stewart: Dee Freeman Secretary On September 16, 2010, Tom Ascenzo and Vicki Webb of the Raleigh Regional Office conducted a compliance evaluation inspection of the facility. Your help was appreciated as it facilitated the inspection process. The following observations were made: 1. Performance Fibers, Inc. is authorized to discharge stormwater from the facility located at Performance Fibers, Inc., 338 Pea Ridge Road, New Hill in Chatham County. The facility discharges into the receiving waters designated as an unnamed tributary to Haw River, a classified WS-IV stream and Shaddox Creek, a classified WS-IV stream in the Cape Fear River Basin. 2. All components of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SP3) were present including: detailed site map with labeled storm outfall, a list of potential contaminants, a spill and response plan, a narrative describing BMPs, and a contact list of whom to contact in an emergency. Employee training records were on -site. This facility maintains good housekeeping practices. The files are kept in a well organized fashioned. Such order eased the file review process. 3. Qualitative and quantitative inspection records were available for review and appeared complete. 4. The facility contains four stormwater outfalls. All four of the facility's stormwater outfalls were observed during the inspection. Outfall 002 had overgrown vegetation. This outfall should be cleaned immediately. This was discussed with Mr. Stewart during the inspection.

Fall 2005 -- Fall 2009 Page 4 of 4 211110 ATTACHMENT 4 Best Management Practices Summary Performance Fibers, Inc. NPDES Stormwater Permit No. NCS000100 BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES SUMMARY General Best Management Practices Best Management Practices (BMPs) are measures used to prevent or mitigate pollution that can result from many types of industrial activities. BMPs cover a wide range of activities that include processes, procedures, schedules of activities, prohibitions on practices, and other management practices to prevent or reduce stormwater pollution. BMPs are aimed at preventing environmental incidents by stressing the importance of employee awareness of potential spill situations. The plant operations that are most likely to cause stormwater pollution are material storage, drainage procedures, transfer operations and in -plant processes, loading and unloading, and waste disposal practices. For each of these areas, Table 4.1 offers General Best Management Practices that are considered at the plant to reduce and prevent pollution. BMPs that have already been implemented are identified with a """. Fa`clilt" yfQperatidh ,y i Best Management Practices Bulk Storage o Wherever practical, install roofs over storage areas or the areas should be completely enclosed. ^ o Divert off -site drainage around storage areas. ^ o Make employees aware of the potential environmental problems caused when spilled products are not cleaned up immediately. ^ Drainage Procedures o When oil or other pollutants are seen ponding in the secondary containment areas, remove and properly dispose of them to prevent pollutant discharge. Investigate causes of the release and implement corrective actions for the root and contributing causes. ^ Transfer Operations and In -Plant o Have spill control materials such as absorbent socks Processes or booms available in areas where product and waste transfers occur. ^ Page 1 of 2 211110 • • Performance Fibers, Inc.

Waste Disposal Practices o Place dumpsters under covered areas if possible or consider covering dumpsters after use with a tarp or other cover. The area should be large enough to allow for emptying the dumpster without exposing the contents to stormwater. o if waste is stored outside, provide containers with tight fitting lids and keep them closed except when loading waste material into the dumpster. ^ o Use compactors that are loaded from an end or from within a building as an alternative to dumpsters. (Stored waste materials are less likely to come into contact with the rainfall.) ^ Page 2 of 2 211110 • 0 ATTACHMENT 5 Significant Changes Summary Performance Fibers, Inc. NPDES Stormwater Permit No. NCS000100 SIGNIFICANT CHANGES SUMMARY The only significant change that has occurred at the Performance Fibers, Inc. New Hill, North Carolina (Chatham County) facility since the last Stormwater Permit Renewal Application (May 2004) was the shutdown and decommissioning of a beaming operation in 2007. However, there have been no additions or deletions of work processes or significant changes in material handling/storage practices or in raw materials used by the facility or any other change in design, construction, operation or maintenance that would adversely impact the potential for discharge of pollutants to surface waters.

NPDES Stormwater Permit No. NCS000100 BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES SUMMARY General Best Management Practices Best Management Practices (BMPs) are measures used to prevent or mitigate pollution that can result from many types of industrial activities. BMPs cover a wide range of activities that include processes, procedures, schedules of activities, prohibitions on practices, and or reduce stormwater pollution. BMPs incidents by stressing the importance c situations. other management practices to prevent are aimed at preventing environmental F employee awareness of potential spill The plant operations that are most likely to cause stormwater pollution are material storage, drainage procedures, transfer operations and in -plant processes, loading and unloading, and waste disposal practices. For each of these areas, Table 4.1 offers General Best Management Practices that are considered at the plant to reduce and prevent pollution. BMPs that have already been implemented are identified with a "^". Facility Operation "T"I .� Best Management Practices Bulk Storage o Wherever practical, install roofs over storage areas or the areas should be completely enclosed. " o Divert off -site drainage around storage areas. " o Make employees aware of the potential environmental problems caused when spilled products are not cleaned up immediately. " Drainage Procedures o When oil or other pollutants are seen ponding in the secondary containment areas, remove and properly dispose of them to prevent pollutant discharge. Investigate causes of the release and implement corrective actions for the root and contributing causes. ^ Transfer Operations and In -Plant o Have spill control materials such as absorbent socks Processes or booms available in areas where product and waste transfers occur. " Page 1 of 2 211110 Performance Fibers, Inc. NPDES Stormwater Permit No. NCS000100 BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES SUMMARY Loading and Unloading o When feasible, protect loading and unloading areas with roofs over docks. " o Where practical, install berms or proper grading to divert stormwater from loading and unloading areas where spills are likely to occur. o Where storm drain grate inlets are located in loading and unloading areas, construct concrete or asphalt berms to divert spills and leaks from vehicles or have mechanism for closing or protecting drain. o Prevent leaking trucks and rail cars from entering or leaving the plant site until the leak is stopped. Waste Disposal Practices o Place dumpsters under covered areas if possible or consider covering dumpsters after use with a tarp or other cover. The area should be large enough to allow for emptying the dumpster without exposing the contents to stormwater. o If waste is stored outside, provide containers with tight fitting lids and keep them closed except when loading waste material into the dumpster. ^ o Use compactors that are loaded from an end or from within a building as an alternative to dumpsters. (Stored waste materials are less likely to come into contact with the rainfall.) " Page 2 of 2 211110 ATTACHMENT 5 Significant Changes Summary Performance Fibers, Inc. NPDES Stormwater Permit No. NCS000100 SIGNIFICANT CHANGES SUMMARY The only significant change that has occurred at the Performance Fibers, Inc. New Hill, North Carolina (Chatham County) facility since the last Stormwater Permit Renewal Application (May 2004) was the shutdown and decommissioning of a beaming operation in 2007. However, there have been no additions or deletions of work processes or significant changes in material handling/storage practices or in raw materials used by the facility or any other change in design, construction, operation or maintenance that would adversely impact the potential for discharge of pollutants to surface waters.

General Observations: The plant operations most likely to cause stormwater pollution are material storage, drainage processes, loading and unloading, and waste disposal practices. 3. Impairment: Neither, the Haw River nor Shaddox Creek is listed on the 303d list of impaired waters; however, they both are Water Supply Waters. The 2005 Basinwide Plan states the Haw River is Supporting aquatic life but Moncure Plywood (NC0023442) had siDiificant violations of dissolved oxygen permit limits. Shaddox Creek is Not Rated for aquatic life on an evaluated basis because Sierrapine Limited (NC0040701) had significant violations with TSS permit liiiiits. The facility has installed screens to solve the TSS violations. However, both of these issues could have adversely impacted aquatic life. 4. Threatened and Endangered: Based on the Natural Heritage Virtual Workroom there is one federal endangered plant species within two mile of the facility is the Ptilimnium nodosum (Harperella). One state threatened species Moxostoma sp. 3 (Carolina Redhorse). 5. Location: Facility discharges stormwater to two waterbodies: an unnamed tributary to Haw River and Shaddox Creek. 6. Industrial Chances Since Previous -Permit: The only change since the last renewal application was the shutdown and decommissioning of a beaming operation in 2007. 7. Analytical Monitoring Notes: See Table 1. There was no data collected in the fall of 2007, 2008 and 2009 -because rainfall events that occurred during those time periods (September — November) were not representative storm events. The last reviewer noted the facility stores several chemicals outside that may be pollutants of concern. TPA, glycol, fuel and -diesel oil tanks, gasoline tanks, caustic, and -finish oil tanks are not stored under roof, according to the site map. Many of these tanks have secondary containment with diked -area inspections required before release. The majority of these areas drain to the NPDES wastewater outfall and fall under another permit (NC0001899), which also includes acute toxicity monitoring. (Information for previous staff report by Bethany Georgoulias) The facility .uses antimony as a catalyst, and drift from two process water cooling towers is the likely source of the metal in stormwater runoff. Antimony (Sb) was kept in the previous permit even though the reported values were below the benchmarks because process water cooling tower drift still has potential to contaminate stormwater. The old benchmark in the permit was 4.5 mg/l but it is now 0.09 mg/1 which is %s FAV. The EPA's human health and organism consumption criteria is 0.006 mg/l. This value reflects the drinking water standard (not a stream standard for water supply waters in North Carolina). This value is important to note because there are values at outfall3 and 4 that are above this value. The reviewer recommends retaining Antimony in order to continue monitor this parameter. This industry is covered in the. EPA Multi -Sector permit under Sector C: Chemicals and Allied Products. The permit includes zinc monitoring; however, this site is not a likely source. Based on the pervious staff report, years ago, the site used a zinc coating and a zinc -containing anti -corrosive material (Zinc is monitored at the NPDES wastewater outfall 002, where some stormwater drained); however the site no longer uses any zinc or chromates.

All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as defined in Part II Section B. The permittee must also document the total precipitation for each event. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating "No Flow" within 30 days of the end of the six-month sampling period. Additionally, samples must be taken a minimum of 60 days apart, as specif ed in Table 2. 31. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring have been added to this draft permit. Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. 4. The permittee is required to collect all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during representative storm events as defined in Part,11 Section B. Qualitative monitoring is required regardless of representative outfall status. 5. The permittee is responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit, is issued. See, Footnote 1 of Tables 1, 4, and 5. 6. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per-DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall parameter is in this permit, however.) 7. Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with analytical and qualitative monitoring. Other Proposed Chainges to the Previous Permit: 1. Additional guidance is'provided'about the Site Plan requirements, The site map must now identify if the receiving stream is impaired and if it has a TMDL established. It must also describe potential pollutants in each outfall. The map requirements are stated more explicitly. And, the site plan must contain a Iist of significant spills that have occurred in the past three years and also must certify that the outfalls have been inspected to ensure that they do not contain non-stormwater discharges., Additional information is provide_ d in Part H Section A. 2. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Management Plan have been specified in.Part II Section A. More details regarding secondary containment are provided. 3. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been specified in Part II, Section A. The plan must also be updated annually to include a list of significant spills and to certify that the outfalls do not contain non-stormwater discharges. 4. The facility must now implement a semi-annual Facility Inspection Program of the site's stormwater management controls as specified in Part U Section A. 5. Information regarding the No Exposure Exclusion has been added to this draft permit. If industrial materials and activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described in 40 CFR § 122.26(g), the facility may qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES stormwater discharge permit requirements.

Although all antimony (Sb) values were below the benchmark, retained monitoring because process water cooling tower drift still has' potential to contaminate stormwater.' Added pH monitoring (site monitored for pH at all outfalls anyway). All monitoring has changed to Semi -Annual (spring and fall). This change is based on the Division's revised strategy for stormwater monitoring in renewal permits and makes stormwater discharge sampling frequency consistent with qualitative monitoring. In addition, DWQ has incorporated benchmark values into the permit. These benchmarks are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for the facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention PIan (SPPP). New language specifies that if any measurements exceed benchmark values, the facility should evaluate the effectiveness of its BMPs, review and/or update its SPPP, and document any efforts to address stormwater contamination (see Part 1I, Sec. B & D). Total Flow monitoring has been removed per DWQ revised strategy (Total Rainfall and Event Duration parameters retained). Instead, Part II. Sec. A clarifies that SPPP site map include drainage area for,each outfall in acres and percent impervious area in each drainage area (should flow ever need to be estimated).

July 2000) Central Office Review Summary: Facility discharges stormwater to two waterbodies: an unnamed tributary to the Haw River, and Shaddox Creek. Neither of these waterbodies is listed on the 303(d) list of impaired waters; however, they are both Water Supply waters. The 2000 Cape Fear Basinwide Plan addresses general stormwater (S/W) management strategies for point sources and the Phase II MS4 program, but does not have specific recommendations for individual S/W dischargers. No significant issues affecting this site are discussed in the chapter on sub -basin 03-06-07. The draft 2005 Cape Fear Basinwide Plan is pending release for public review. Since last renewal, the company has had no significant changes in industrial activities. This site manufactures polyester fiber from terephthalic acid (TPA) and ethylene glycol. In 2003, facility applied for permit for one-time land application of alum sludge (from water treatment process) to two fields at this site. The fields (HWFN and HWFS) are located north and south of the site, outside stormwater drainage areas covered by this stormwater permit. See attached 9/2003 letter and map. Qualitative Monitoring Results: Permittee sent results from 1999-03. Floating and suspended solids periodically noted, as well as decrease in clarity occasionally observed. Site recorded possible causes in qualitative monitoring records. Analytical Monitoring: See attached Monitoring Data Analysis. Note —application incorrectly listed antimony levels in µg/1—should be mg/l. The reviewer recommends keeping antimony (Sb) monitoring in the permit, even though all values were below the benchmark concentration (4.5 mg/1). The facility uses antimony as a catalyst, and drift from two process water cooling towers is the likely source of the metal in stormwater runoff. Because of the persistent source, continued monitoring is appropriate to identify any future problems. [Levels at stormwater outfall 3 were above EPA's human health and organism consumption criteria (0.006 mg/I), but this reflects a drinking water standard (not a stream standard for water supply waters in North Carolina) and is probably not the best benchmark.] This draft permit does note that if values are below the benchmark, but unusually high for an outfall, the Permittee should still consider investigating sources/improving BMPs. See also the footnote to Table 3 regarding alternative benchmark value based on previous monitoring.' Recommend retaining other monitoring requirements; pHs are sometimes low, and TSS is occasionally over benchmark (>100 mg/1). Although site monitored for it anyway, Section B now includes pH. The EPA Multi -Sector permit includes zinc monitoring; however, this site is not a likely source. Years ago, the site used a zinc coating and a zinc -containing anti -corrosive material (Zn is monitored at the NPDES wastewater outfall 002, where some stormwater drained); however the site no longer uses any zinc or chromates. Total flow was reported, but rainfall amounts and event durations were not included in the renewal data summary or on the DMRs. 8/8/2003 flow estimate of 1.46 MG (?) is suspect. Facility stores several chemicals outside that may be pollutants of concern. In addition to TPA and glycol, fuel and diesel oil tanks, gasoline tanks, caustic, and finish oil tanks are not stored under roof, according to the site map. According to the site contact, many of these tanks have secondary containment with diked -area inspections required before release. Also, the majority of these areas drain to the NPDES wastewater outfall and fall under another permit (NC0001899), which also includes acute toxicity monitoring. Therefore, oil and grease monitoring probably not necessary for this facility's stormwater permit. Monitoring frequency will increase to semi-annually. This change ensures at least nine data points are collected through the permit term and makes monitoring frequency consistent with qualitative monitoring. Also, benchmark values for all parameters have also been added to the permit as a guide for the permittee to check the effectiveness of BMPs (and document efforts) when necessary. 2 NCS000100 • Follow-up with the company contact (Bill Boyer, 919-545-3154) on 4/7/05 and 5/4/05: • Verified no vehicle maintenance activities at this site. + VaIues for antimony in the application are in µg/l, but levels Iook too low (below standard detection levels?) --are these mg/I instead? What is antimony used for, and what is the source in the stormwater? Yes, double-checked lab reports —values should be mg/1. A catalyst; probably drift from process water cooling towers. + Is Zn a concern? No, not anymore. Zinc and chromates no longer used at this facility. • How did site estimate flow amounts? (Should be reporting event duration and rainfall amounts.) Multiply drainage surface area by surface area coefficient. If no duration and rainfall amounts were reported, it was an oversight. These are routinely recorded to calculate flow. • How are other chemicals contained? Has the site ever monitored for O&G? Secondary containment; diked -area inspections before release. Most of these areas drain to NPDES wastewater outfaU 002. Have not monitored for O&G, but have never observed stains in these areas.

Dear Sirs: S u 1 L -2003 EK Honeywell International is submitting the enclosed permit request for the one-time land application of alum sludge to two fields at its facility in Moncure, North Carolina. The alum sludge was generated over many years from the treatment of raw water (Haw River) in Honeywell's potable water treatment plant•(PWS No. 03-19- 414). The alum sludge is composed of potable water grade aluminum sulfate along with sand, silt and clay, which were removed from the raw water during the treatment (coagulation and flocculation) process. Spent alum sludge is routinely removed from the treatment process and blown down to an on -site alum pond where the solids settle out and the water is combined and discharged with effluent from the facility's wastewater treatment plant. During the fourth quarter of 2002 Honeywell reactivated an old alum pond by removing several year's worth of alum sludge and reshaping the pond. The excavated alum sludge was hauled to one of the proposed Iand application sites (Site HWFS) where it is currently stockpiled on plastic sheeting. The sludge is also covered with sheet plastic and the pile is surrounded by secured straw bales backed by sediment fence. Two on -site fields (identified as HWFS and HWFN) of approximately 8.5 acre each have been selected for land application of the alum sludge. The fields were visited and the soils evaluated by a North Carolina Licensed Soil Scientist. Based on the soil characterization, which was developed from on -site hand auger borings and chemical analyses, both sites are deemed suitable for the application of the spent alum sludge. The recommendation is based on the use of Site HWFN for the majority of the solids since the solids can more easily be incorporated into the soil at this site. Honeywell plans. are to continue to work with the soil scientist following receipt of the permit to insure the spent alum sludge is effectively incorporated into the soil and the soil assimilates the sludge components. A post application monitoring plan is included with the permit application to cover routine soil sampling, aluminum assimilation and maintenance of a good vegetative cover on both fields. The non -dedicated residuals land application package is composed of the following sections: NDRLAP, RSCA, LASCA, RWSC and CMNA. Please review the enclosed permit application and contact me at (919) 545-3154 if there are any questions. Any questions pertaining to the soils review or nutrient availability calculations should be directed to Mr. E. D. Black, Ph.D. at (919) 859-3805. Sincerely, W.L.

Is present at or above threshold levels at a facility subject to SARA title III, Section 313 reporting requirements; and C. That meet at least one of the following criteria: (1) Is listed in Appendix D of 40 CFR part 122 on either Table II (organic priority pollutants), Table III (certain metals, cyanides, and phenols) or Table IV (certain toxic pollutants and hazardous substances); (2) Is listed as a hazardous substance pursuant to section 311(b)(2)(A) of the CWA at 40 CFR 116.4; or (3) Is a pollutant for which EPA has published acute or chronic water quality criteria. Part VI Page 3 of 5 Pages 0 A 23. Severe Property Damage DRAFT Permit No. NCS000100 Means substantial physical damage to property, damage to the control facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss caused by delays in production. 24. Significant Materials Includes, but is not limited to: raw materials; fuels; materials such as solvents, detergents, and plastic pellets; finished materials such as metallic products; raw materials used in food processing or production; hazardous substances designated under section 101(14) of CERCLA; any chemical the facility is required to report pursuant to section 313 of Title III of SARA; fertilizers; pesticides; and waste products such as ashes, slag and sludge that have the potential to be released with stormwater discharges. 25. Significant Spills Includes, but is not limited to: releases of oil or hazardous substances in excess of reportable quantities under section 311 of the Clean Water Act (Ref: 40 CFR I 10,10 and CFR 117.21) or section 102 of CERCLA (Ref: 40 CFR 302A). 26. Stormwater Runoff The flow of water which results from precipitation and which occurs immediately following rainfall or as a result of snowmelt. 27. Stormwater Associated with Industrial Activity The discharge from any point source which is used for collecting and conveying stormwater and which is directly related to manufacturing, processing or raw material storage areas at an industrial site. Facilities considered to be engaged in "industrial activities" include those activities defined in 40 CFR 122.26(b)(14). The term does not include discharges from facilities or activities excluded from the NPDES program. 28. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan A comprehensive site -specific plan which details measures and practices to reduce Stormwater pollution and is based on an evaluation of the pollution potential of the site. 29. Ten Year Design Storm The maximum 24 hour precipitation event expected to be equaled or exceeded on the average once in ten years. Design storm information can be found in the State of North Carolina Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual. 30. Total Flow The flow corresponding to the time period over which the entire storm event occurs. Total flow shall be either; (a) measured continuously, (b) calculated based on the amount of area draining to the outfali, the amount of built -upon (impervious) area, and the total amount of rainfall, or (c) estimated by the measurement of flow at 20 minute intervals during the rainfall event. Part VI Page 4 of 5 Pages DRAFT Permit No. NCSOOO100 31. Total -Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) A TMDL is a calculation of the maximum amount of a pollutant that a waterbody can receive and still meet water quality standards, and an allocation of that amount to the pollutant's sources. A TMDL is a detailed water quality assessment that provides the scientific foundation for an implementation plan. The implementation plan outlines the steps necessary to reduce pollutant loads in a certain body of water to restore and maintain water quality standards in all seasons. The Clean Water Act, section 303, establishes the water quality standards and TMDL programs. 32. Toxic Pollutant Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act. 33. Upset Means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment or control facilities, inadequate treatment or control facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation. 34. Vehicle Maintenance Activity Vehicle rehabilitation, mechanical repairs, painting, fueling, lubrication, vehicle cleaning operations, or airport deicing operations. 35. Visible Sedimentation Solid particulate matter, both mineral and organic, that has been or is being transported by water, air, gravity, or ice from its site of origin which can be seen with the unaided eye. 36. 25-year, 24 hour storm event The maximum 24-hour precipitation event expected to be equaled or exceeded, on the average, once in 25 years. Part VI Page 5 of 5 Pages June 8, 2005 Regional Office Staff Review & Evaluation Facility Name: Performance Fibers, Inc. (formerly Honeywell International, Inc.) NPDES Permit Number: NCS000100 On June 7, 2005 Raleigh Regional Staff visited Performance Fibers, Inc. in Moncure, NC to evaluate their stormwater practices for an NPDES Stormwater Permit renewal. The significant findings were as follows: The RRO staff walked throughout the facility, accompanied by Bill Boyer and Stan Mann of Performance Fibers, Inc., following the provided site maps. The facility was laid out with trenches and berms that were in place to direct stormwater as described by the site maps. All outfalls were examined: they were all marked clearly and well maintained. • One pollutant of primary concern is antimony. The antimony originates from the cooling tower drift (it is the only process that has antimony - as verified by both Mr. Boyer and Mr. Mann). Upon further investigation RRO staff found this to be true — the cooling towers are closest to the drainage patterns for outfalls 02 and 03. These two outfalls had the highest levels of antimony in their discharge. The levels, however, were low enough to not exceed benchmark values. There was an open loading dumpster on -site that had a lot of polymer stored in it. During rain events the polymer could easily be washed out of the dumpster (it was enclosed by only three walls — it was designed so trucks could back into the dumpster to load and unload). Performance Fibers, Inc. has a catchment drain immediately down slope of the dumpster that will store any polymer runoff. This catchment drain is pumped as needed. While the polymer is inert, it still might impact stormwater practices by increasing sedimentation for outfall 02 (the dumpster is part of the drainage pattern for outfall 02). This scenario, however, is unlikely as the catchment drain is likely to catch all of the polymer runoff. RRO staff found no evidence of poor stormwater practices and saw no reason to deny a renewal of Performance Fibers, Inc.'s stormwater permit. Any questions should be directed to either Christopher Wu at (919) 571-4700, ext. 266 (or email at: chris.wu@ncrnail.net) or Chad Coburn at (919) 571-4700, ext. 240 (or email at: chad.coburn@ncmail.net).

Moncure, NC Stormwater Permit NCS000100 SUMMARY OF BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES (BMPs) and SIGNIFICANT CHANGES ' • Honeywell International Inc. • Moncure, North Carolina NPDES Stormwater Permit No. NCS000100 SUMMARY OF BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES (BMPs) Best Management Practices (BMPs) are measures used to prevent or mitigate pollution that can come from various industrial activities. BMPs cover a wide range of activities that include processes, procedures, schedules of activities, prohibitions on practices, and other management practices to prevent or reduce stormwater pollution. BMPs are aimed at preventing environmental incidents by stressing the importance of employee awareness of potential contamination situations. Plant operations that are most likely to cause stormwater pollution are material and equipment storage, drainage procedures, transfer operations and in -plant processes, loading and unloading, and waste handling practices. For each of these areas, Table I lists the General Best Management Practices used by this facility to reduce and prevent stormwater pollution. FACITLITY OPERATION BEST MANAGEMENT ?RACTICES USED70 PREVENT STORMWATER POLLUTION Bulk Storage • Where ever practical, install roofs over storage areas or enclose storage areas • Divert off -site drainage around storage areas • Make employees aware of the potential environmental problems caused when spilled products are not properly cleaned up immediately. • Pump accumulated stormwater to process cooling tower as make up water rather than discharging to a stormwater ditch and using potable water to make up for evaporation. Drainage Procedures • When oil or other pollutants are seen in secondary containment areas, remove and properly dispose of them to prevent pollutant discharge. • Lock out controls for diked area drainage pumps and require employees to inspect for pollutants and complete a diked area drainage report before draining or pumping secondary containment. • Hold employees accountable for not following diked area drainage procedures. Transfer Operations and In -Plant Processes • Vehicle unloading activities to be performed on concrete surfaces with collection sumps. In the event an impervious surface isn't available, surround stormwater collection basins with absorbent booms and keep spill clean up materials readily available while unloading. • Use buckets to collect residue remaining in hoses after unloading. Loading and Unloading • When feasible, cover loading and unloading docks with a roof. • Use berms or grading to divert stormwater from loading and unloading areas where spills are likely to occur • Use collection channels in the concrete to contain spills and make spill clean up easier. • Sweep loading areas to remove debris and other particulate contaminants • Honeywell International Inc. Moncure, North Carolina NPDES Stormwater Permit No. NCS000100 SUMMARY OF BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES (BMPs) Loading and Unloading (continued) • Ensure bottom valves on trucks and tank cars are tight before leaving the facility. Prevent leaking vehicles from entering or leaving the facility until the leak is stopped. • Install Drainguard' catch basin inserts to collect and remove grease, sediment, trash and oil from loading, unloading and product handling areas. Waste Handling • When feasible, place dumpsters under covered areas or locate dumpsters where liquids will be collected or directed to a wastewater treatment facility. • If waste is stored outside, provide containers with tight fitting lids and keep them closed except when loading waste material into the dumpster. • Use compactors that are loaded from the end and have self contained sumps (liquids released during compaction are less likely to leak out).

Please review the draft very carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains. The draft permit contains the following significant changes from this facility's current permit: + Analytical monitoring frequency for all parameters has changed to semi-annual (once in the spring and once in the fall). This change reflects the Division's revised strategy for renewal permits and makes stormwater sampling frequency consistent with qualitative monitoring. • pH monitoring is included in the permit. (This site has been routinely monitoring pH already.) • The Division has incorporated benchmark values into the permit. These benchmarks are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for your facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). If any measurements exceed benchmark values, your facility should evaluate the effectiveness of its Best Management Practices (BMPs), review and/or update its SPPP, and document any efforts to address storrnwater contamination (see Part II, Sections B and D). + An optional alternative benchmark for Antimony is noted in the footnote for Table 3 in Part 11, page 5. • Total Flow monitoring has been removed. The permit still requires Total Rainfall amount and Rainfall Event Duration be recorded for each sampling event. This change is also based on the Division's revised strategy for storrnwater monitoring in renewal permits. Please note that the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) site map must include drainage area for each outfall in acres and the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious (see Part 11, Sec. A). Please submit any comments to me no later than thirty (30) days following your receipt of the draft. Comments should be sent to the address listed at the bottom of this page. If no adverse comments are received from the public or from you, this permit will likely be issued in about two months.

Stormwater Management Plan. The stormwater management plan shall contain a narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or minimize the exposure of significant materials to stormwater, including structural and nonstructural measures. The stormwater management plan, at a minimum, shall incorporate the following: a. Feasibility Study. A review of the technical and economic feasibility of changing the methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure of materials and processes to stormwater. Wherever practical, the permittee shall prevent exposure of all storage areas, material handling operations, and manufacturing or fueling operations. In areas where elimination of exposure is not practical, the stormwater management pla s 61) document the feasibility of diverting the stormwater runoff away fr, a of pote tial contamination. b. Secondary Containment Schedule.

Records documenting e t i idual making the observation, the description of the accumulated stormwater and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a period of five years. C. BMP Summary. A narrative description shall be provided of Best Management Practices (BMPs) to be considered such as, but not limited to, oil and grease separation, debris control, vegetative filter strips, infiltration and stormwater detention or retention, where necessary. The need for structural BMPs shall be based on the assessment of potential of sources to contribute significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected through monitoring of stormwater discharges. 3. Spill Prevention and Response Plan. The Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP) shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials inventory of the facility. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the SPRP shall be identified. A responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or exposure of materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP must be site stormwater specific. Therefore, a SPCC plan may be a component of the SPRP, but may not be sufficient to completely address the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may be incorporated by reference into the SPRP. Part H Page 2 of 7 Permit No. NCS000100 SECTION B. ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater subject to the provisions of this permit. Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified below in Table 1. All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a representative storm event. The required monitoring will result in a minimum of nine analytical samplings being conducted over the term of the permit at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). The permittee shall complete the minimum nine analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified below in Table 2.

Permittee The owner or operator issued a permit pursuant to this individual permit. 17. Point Source Discharge of Stormwater Any discernible, confined and discrete conveyance including, but not specifically limited to, any pipe, ditch, channel, tunnel, conduit, well, or discrete fissure from which stormwater is or may be discharged to waters of the state. 18. Re resentative Storm Event A storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall and that is preceded by at least 72 hours in which no storm event measuring greater than 0.1 inches has occurred. A single storm event may contain up to 10 consecutive hours of no precipitation. For example, if it rains for 2 hours without producing any collectable discharge, and then stops, a sample may be collected if a rain producing a discharge begins again within the next 10 hours. 19. Representative Outfall Status When it is established that the discharge of stormwater runoff from a single outfall is representative of the discharges at multiple outfalls, the DWQ may grant representative outfall status. Representative outfall status allows the permittee to perform analytical monitoring at a reduced number of outfalls. 20. Rinse Water Discharge The discharge of rinse water from equipment cleaning areas associated with industrial activity. Rinse waters from vehicle and equipment cleaning areas are process wastewaters and do not include washwaters utilizing any type of detergent or cleaning agent. 21. • Secondary Containment Spill containment for the contents of the single largest tank within the containment structure plus sufficient freeboard to allow for the 25-year, 24-hour storm event. 22. Section 313 Water Priority Chemical A chemical or chemical category which: Is listed in 40 CFR 372.65 pursuant to Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) of 1986, also titled the Emergency Planning and Community Right - to -Know Act of 1986; b. Is present at or above threshold levels at a facility subject to SARA title III, Section 313 reporting requirements; and C. That meet at least one of the following criteria: (1) Is listed in Appendix D of 40 CFR part 122 on either Table II (organic priority pollutants), Table III (certain metals, cyanides, and phenols) or Table IV (certain toxic pollutants and hazardous substances); (2) Is listed as a hazardous substance pursuant to section 311(b)(2)(A) of the CWA at 40 CFR 116.4. or (3) Is a pollutant for which EPA has published acute or chronic water quality criteria. Part VI Page 3 of 5 Pages • DRAFT Permit No. NCS000100 31. Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) A TMDL is a calculation of the maximum amount of a pollutant that a waterbody can receive and still meet water quality standards, and an allocation of that amount to the pollutant's sources. A TMDL is a detailed water quality assessment that provides the scientific foundation for an implementation plan. The implementation plan outlines the steps necessary to reduce pollutant loads in a certain body of water to restore and maintain water quality standards in all seasons. The Clean Water Act, section 303, establishes the water quality standards and TMDL programs. 32. Toxic Pollutant Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act. 33. Upset Means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment or control facilities, inadequate treatment or control facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation. 34. Vehicle Maintenance Activity Vehicle rehabilitation, mechanical repairs, painting, fueling, lubrication, vehicle cleaning operations, or airport deicing operations. 35. Visible_ Sedimentation Solid particulate matter, both mineral and organic, that has been or is being transported by water, air, gravity, or ice from its site of origin which can be seen with the unaided eye. 36. 25-year, 24 hour storm event The maximum 24-hour precipitation event expected to be equaled or exceeded, on the average, once in 25 years. Part VI Page 5 of 5 Pages 6 June 8, 2005 Regional Office Staff Review & Evaluation Facility Name: Performance Fibers, Inc. (formerly Honeywell International, Inc.) NPDES Permit Number: NCS000100 On June 7, 2005 Raleigh Regional Staff visited Performance Fibers, Inc. in Moncure, NC to evaluate their stormwater practices for an NPDES Stormwater Permit renewal. The significant findings were as follows: • The RRO staff walked throughout the facility, accompanied by Bill Boyer and Stan Mann of Performance Fibers, Inc., following the provided site maps. The facility was laid out with trenches and berms that were in place to direct stormwater as described by the site maps. All outfalls were examined: they were all marked clearly and well maintained. • One pollutant of primary concern is antimony. The antimony originates from the cooling tower drift (it is the only process that has antimony - as verified by both Mr. Boyer and Mr. Mann). Upon further investigation RRO staff found this to be true — the cooling towers are closest to the drainage patterns for outfalls 02 and 03. These two outfalls had the highest levels of antimony in their discharge. The levels, however, were low enough to not exceed benchmark values. • There was an open loading dumpster on -site that had a lot of polymer stored in it. During rain events the polymer could easily be washed out of the dumpster (it was enclosed by only three walls — it was designed so trucks could back into the dumpster to load and unload). Performance Fibers, Inc. has a catchment drain immediately down slope of the dumpster that will store any polymer runoff. This catchment drain is pumped as needed. While the polymer is inert, it still might impact stormwater practices by increasing sedimentation for outfall 02 (the dumpster is part of the drainage pattern for outfa1102). This scenario, however, is unlikely as the catchment drain is likely to catch all of the polymer runoff. RRO staff found no evidence of poor stormwater practices and saw no reason to deny a renewal of Performance Fibers, Inc.'s stormwater permit.

Compliance Schedule: N/A. Basis for Monitoring: See attached Monitoring Data Analysis. Although all antimony (Sb) values were below the benchmark, retained monitoring because process water cooling tower drift still has potential to contaminate stormwater. Added pH monitoring (site monitored for pH at all outfalls anyway). Basis for Other All monitoring has changed to Semi -Annual (spring and fall). This change is based on the Division's revised strategy for stormwater monitoring in renewal permits and makes stormwater discharge sampling frequency consistent with qualitative monitoring. In addition, DWQ has incorporated benchmark values into the permit. These benchmarks are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for the facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). New language specifies that if any measurements exceed benchmark values, the facility should evaluate the effectiveness of its BMPs, review and/or update its SPPP, and document any efforts to address stormwater contamination (see Part 11, Sec. B & D). Total Flow monitoring has been removed per DWQ revised strategy (Total Rainfall and Event Duration parameters retained). Instead, Part 11. Sec. A clarifies that SPPP site map include drainage area for each outfaIl in acres and percent impervious area in each drainage area (should flow ever need to be estimated). N/A. N. C.

July 2000) Central Office Review Summary: Facility discharges stormwater to two waterbodies: an unnamed tributary to the Haw River, and Shaddox Creek. Neither of these waterbodies is listed on the 303(d) list of impaired waters; however, they are both Water Supply waters. The 2000 Cape Fear Basinwide Plan addresses general stormwater (S/W) management strategies for point sources and the Phase II MS4 program, but does not have specific recommendations for individual S/W dischargers. No significant issues affecting this site are discussed in the chapter on sub -basin 03-06-07. The draft 2005 Cape Fear Basinwide Plan is pending release for public review. Since Iast renewal, the company has had no significant changes in industrial activities. This site manufactures polyester fiber from terephthalic acid (TPA) and ethylene glycol. In 2003, facility applied for permit for one-time land application of alum sludge (from water treatment process) to two fields at this site. The fields (HWFN and HWFS) are located north and south of the site, outside stormwater drainage areas covered by this stormwater permit. See attached 9/2003 letter and map. Qualitative Monitoring Results: Permittee sent results from I999-03. Floating and suspended solids periodically noted, as well as decrease in clarity occasionally observed. Site recorded possible causes in qualitative monitoring records. Analytical Monitoring: See attached Monitoring Data Analysis. Note —application incorrectly listed antimony levels in µg/I—should be mg/l. The reviewer recommends keeping antimony (Sb) monitoring in the permit, even though all values were below the benchmark concentration (4.5 mg/1). The facility uses antimony as a catalyst, and drift from two process water cooling towers is the likely source of the metal in stormwater runoff. Because of the persistent source, continued monitoring is appropriate to identify any future problems. [Levels at stormwater outfall 3 were above EPA's human health and organism consumption criteria (0.006 mg/1), but this reflects a drinking water standard (not a stream standard for water supply waters in North Carolina) and is probably not the best benchmark.] This draft permit does note that if values are below the benchmark, but unusually high for an outfall, the Penmittee should still consider investigating sources/improving BMPs. See also the footnote to Table 3 regarding alternative benchmark value based on previous monitoring. Recommend retaining other monitoring requirements; pHs are sometimes low, and TSS is occasionally over benchmark (> 100 mg/1). Although site monitored for it anyway, Section B now includes pH. The EPA Multi -Sector permit includes zinc monitoring; however, this site is not a likely source. Years ago, the site used a zinc coating and a zinc -containing anti -corrosive material (Zn is monitored at the NPDES wastewater outfall 002, where some stormwater drained); however the site no longer uses any zinc or chromates. Total flow was reported, but rainfall amounts and event durations were not included in the renewal data summary or on the DMRs, 8/8/2003 flow estimate of 1.46 MG (?) is suspect. Facility stores several chemicals outside that may be pollutants of concern. In addition to TPA and glycol, fuel and diesel oil tanks, gasoline tanks, caustic, and finish oil tanks are not stored under roof, according to the site map. According to the site contact, many of these tanks have secondary containment with diked -area inspections required before release. Also, the majority of these areas drain to the NPDES wastewater outfall and fall under another permit (NC0001899), which also includes acute toxicity monitoring. Therefore, oil and grease monitoring probably not necessary for this facility's stormwater permit. Monitoring frequency will increase to semi-annually. This change ensures at least nine data points are collected through the permit term and makes monitoring frequency consistent with qualitative monitoring. Also, benchmark values for all parameters have also been added to the permit as a guide for the permittee to check the effectiveness of BMPs (and document efforts) when necessary. NCS000100 Follow-up with the company contact (Bill Boyer, 919-545-3154) on 4/7/05 and 5/4/05: + Verified no vehicle maintenance activities at this site. + Values for antimony in the application are in µg/l, but levels look too low (below standard detection levels?) —are these mg/l instead? What is antimony used for, and what is the source in the stormwater? Yes, double-checked lab reports —values should be mg/1. A catalyst; probably drift from process water cooling towers. + Is Zn a concern? No, not anymore. Zinc and chromates no longer used at this facility. + How did site estimate flow amounts? (Should be reporting event duration and rainfall amounts.) Multiply drainage surface area by surface area coefficient. If no duration and rainfall amounts were reported, it was an oversight.

Honeywell International Inc. Moncure, NC Stormwater Permit NCS000100 SUMMARY OF BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES (BMPs) and SIGNIFICANT CHANGES Honeywell International Inc. Moncure, North Carolina NPDES Stormwater Pernut No. NCS000100 SUMMARY OF BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES (BMPs) Best Management Practices (BMPs) are measures used to prevent or mitigate pollution that can come from various industrial activities. BMPs cover a wide range of activities that include processes, procedures, schedules of activities, prohibitions on practices, and other management practices to prevent or reduce stormwater pollution. BMPs are aimed at preventing environmental incidents by stressing the importance of employee awareness of potential contamination situations. Plant operations that are most likely `to cause stormwater pollution are material and equipment storage, drainage procedures, transfer operations and in -plant processes, loading and unloading, and waste handling practices. For each of these areas, Table I lists the General Best Management Practices used by this facility to reduce and prevent stormwater pollution. FACITLITY�'OPERATION` BEST,MANAGEMENTrPRi1CTICES;:USED TO r P.REVEN. > ORMWATERPOL`LU IO :....:. Bulk Storage • Where ever practical, install roofs over storage areas or enclose storage areas • Divert off -site drainage around storage areas • Make employees aware of the potential environmental problems caused when spilled products are not properly cleaned up immediately. • Pump accumulated stormwater to process cooling tower as make up water rather than discharging to a stormwater ditch and using potable water to make up for evaporation. Drainage Procedures • When oil or other pollutants are seen in secondary containment areas, remove and properly dispose of them to prevent pollutant discharge. • Lock out controls for diked area drainage pumps and require employees to inspect for pollutants and complete a diked area drainage report before draining or pumping secondary containment. • Hold employees accountable for not following diked area drainage procedures. Transfer Operations and In -Plant Processes • Vehicle unloading activities to be performed on concrete surfaces with collection sumps. In the event an impervious surface isn't available, surround stormwater collection basins with absorbent booms and keep spill clean up materials readily available while unloading. • Use buckets to collect residue remaining in hoses after unloading. Loading and Unloading • When feasible, cover loading and unloading docks with a roof. • Use berms or grading to divert stormwater from loading and unloading areas where spills are likely to occur • Use collection channels in the concrete to contain spills and make spill clean up easier. • Sweep loading areas to remove debris and other particulate contaminants Honeywell International Inc. Moncure, North Carolina NPDES Stormwater Permit No. NCS000100 SUMMARY OF BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES _BMPs) Loading and Unloading (continued) • Ensure bottom valves on trucks and tank cars are tight before leaving the facility. Prevent leaking vehicles from entering or leaving the facility until the leak is stopped. • Install Drainguard' catch basin inserts to collect and remove grease, sediment, trash and oil from loading, unloading and product handling areas. Waste Handling • When feasible, place dumpstcrs under covered areas or locate dumpsters where liquids will be collected or directed to a wastewater treatment facility. • If waste is stored outside, provide containers with tight fitting lids and keep them closed except when loading waste material into the dumpster. • Use compactors that are loaded from the end and have self contained sumps (liquids released during compaction are less likely to leak out). SIGNIFICANT CHANGES AT HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC. MONCURE, NC Honeywell's facility in Moncure, NC manufacturers industrial strength polyester fiber for industrial applications. Raw materials for the polyester process are terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol. No changes have been made in bulk chemicals handled, work practices, material handling practices or storage practices.

Chatham County Dear Mr. Carnevale: In accordance with your application for a stormwater discharge permit received on December 15, 1999, we are forwarding herewith the subject state - NPDES permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215 .1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the US Environmental Protection agency dated December 6, 1983. If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, Post Office Drawer 27447, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611 -7447. Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding. Please take notice this permit is not transferable. Part II, B.2. addresses the requirements to be followed in case of change in ownership or control of this discharge. This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Environmental Management or permits required by the Division of Land Resources, Coastal Area Management Act or any other Federal or Local governmental permit that may be required. If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact Mack Wiggins at telephone number 919/733-5083 ext. 542. Sincerely, Kerr T. Stevens cc: Mr. Roger O.

This permit shall become effective April 28, 2000. This permit and the authorization to discharge shall expire at midnight on November 30, 2004. Signed this day April 28, 2000. - UL&&� - - for Kerr T. Stevens, Director Division of Water Quality By the Authority of the Environmental Management Commission NCS000100 Hey Bethany — the permit looks very good overall... just a couple comments 1) The wastewater permit number on page 2 of the staff report I think has a typo (there's a post - it note there). 2) You may want to consider removing the antimony monitoring. I have two concerns here... a) Is the benchmark critera of 5.6 ug/L for drinking water or for in -stream water quality? Although this is a WS stream, there's going to be some treatment before anyone would drink the water I would think. It might make sense to use the 4.5 mg/L value for stormwater. b) Even if you use the 5.6 ug/L standard, the maximum measured value is 0.06 ug/L, which is about 90 times less than the standard. Just a suggestion... Hope this helps!

Most emitted antimony is in the form of ATO, which is released as a result of coal burning or with fly ash when antimony -containing ores are smelted (Nriagu & Pacyna, 1988). Approximately 6400 tonnes of antimony are transported annually to oceans (Bowen, 1979). The chemical behaviour of antimony is as complex as that of arsenic, its neighbour in the periodic table (Wiberg, 1985). It is speculated that antimony could be a natural co - contaminant with arsenic in some drinking -waters (Gebel, 1999b). Soluble forms of antimony (and arsenic) tend to be quite mobile in water, whereas less soluble species are adsorbed onto clay or soil particles and sediments, where they are mainly bound to extractable iron and aluminium (Crecelius et at., 1975). Although few data address the speciation of antimony in water, those that are available together with thermodynamic predictions indicate that the most favoured form in water will be the pentavalent oxo- anion, Sb(OH6)" (Mohammad et al., 1990; Cotton et al., 1999). r 2. ANAL YTICAL METHODS Antimony can be determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS), with a detection limit of 0.8 µg/litre (EPA Method 204.2). More sensitive determination is possible using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, with detection limits of 0.1 µgllitre in the presence of three other metals (ICI -Technology, 1996) and 0.02 µg/litre (EPA Method 6020). Antimony(V) can be differentiated from antimony(III) using N-(p-methoxyphenyl)-2- furylacrylohydroxamic acid and can be determined separately by electrothermal AAS at concentrations down to 0.01 µg of antimony per litre (Abbassi, 1989). 3. ENVIRONMENTAL LEVELS AND HUMAN EXPOSURE 3.1 Air Atmospheric antimony concentrations of about 0.2 ng/m3 were reported for the Alps at Jungfraujoch, Switzerland (Dams & de Jonge, 1976). In more densely populated areas of Europe, levels between 0.6 and 32 ng/m3 were determined in the 1980s (Hurtig, 1990). Concentrations of antimony in air are considered to be lower today because industrial emissions have been significantly reduced by the introduction of dust filters. At present, abrasion of antimony (and other metals) from brakes, tires and street surfaces as well as emission of aerosolic antimony in vehicle exhaust are the main sources of antimony in urban fine dust (Stechmann, 1993). In Gottingen, a medium-sized city in Germany, approximately 176 kg of antimony are emitted annually from the above sources (Plessow et al., 1997). Honeyydefl Performance Polymers Honeywell P.O.

Dear Sirs: Z v r a 0 r� C1 rV SP1.i2003 0: E` t1. Honeywell International is submitting the enclosed permit request for the one-time land application of alum sludge to two fields at its facility in Moncure, North Carolina, The alum sludge was generated over many years from the treatment of raw water (Haw River) in Honeywell's potable water treatment plantr(PWS No. 03-19- 414). The alum sludge is composed of potable water grade aluminum sulfate along with sand, silt and clay, which were removed from the raw water during the treatment (coagulation and flocculation) process. Spent alum sludge is routinely removed from the treatment process and blown down to an on -site alum pond where the solids settle out and the water is combined and discharged with effluent from the facility's wastewater treatment plant. During the fourth quarter of 2002 Honeywell reactivated an old alum pond by removing seveial year's worth of alum sludge and reshaping the pond. The excavated alum sludge was hauled to one of the proposed land application sites (Site HWFS) where it is currently stockpiled on plastic sheeting. The sludge is also covered with sheet plastic and the pile is surrounded by secured straw bales backed by sediment fence. Two on -site fields (identified as HWFS and HWFN) of approximately 8.5 acre each have been selected for land application of the alum sludge. The fields were visited and the soils evaluated by a North Carolina Licensed Soil Scientist. Based on the soil characterization, which was developed from on -site hand auger borings and chemical analyses, both sites are deemed suitable for the application of the spent alum sludge. The recommendation is based on the use of Site HWFN for the majority of the solids since the solids can more easily be incorporated into the soil at this site. Honeywell plans are to continue to work with the soil scientist following receipt of the permit to insure the spent alum sludge is effectively incorporated into the soil and the soil assimilates the sludge components. A post application monitoring plan is included with the permit application to cover routine soil sampling, aluminum assimilation and maintenance of a good vegetative cover on both fields. The non -dedicated residuals land application package is composed of the following sections: NDRLAP, RSCA, LASCA, RWSC and CMNA. Please review the enclosed permit application and contact me at (919) 545-3154 if there are any questions. Any questions pertaining to the soils review or nutrient availability calculations should be directed to Mr. E. D. Black, Ph.D. at (919) 859-3905. Sincerely, W.L.
