We have received a letter dated March 2, 2015 from Mr. Tim McCorkle, Project
Manager, with ARM Environmental Services, Inc. on your behalf, requesting that your
facility be considered for semi-annual sampling events. An inspection of the facility was
conducted by Mr. Samar Bou-Ghazale on March 19, 2015. File review of the facility
confirmed that the sample collected for zinc and copper on January 23, 2015 were below
the bench mark value. Please note that in order to revert to the semi-annual sampling it is
required by the permit that you have to pass 3 consecutive sampling events.
If you have any questions or need further information, please contact Mr. Samar Bou-
Ghazale at [phone], or at samar.bou-ghazale(-a)ncdenr.gov

Wix Filtration Corporation -Allen Facility
Gastonia, North Carolina
Thank you for the submitted information regarding Zinc/Copper exceeding the benchmark value at the
subject facility.
As requested a site investigation will be performed at the subject facility and if it is determined that
exceeding the bench mark values are beyond your control and that you have exhausted all the
possibilities to be in compliance with the benchmark, then your facility might be considered for the
requirements mentioned in Tier three. In the meantime it is requested that you conduct an upstream
and downstream sample in order for us to better evaluate the migration of contaminants from the site.
If you have any questions or need further information, please contact Samar Bou-Ghazale at (704) 235-

Re: Wix Facilities - Stormwater Sampling
Dear Ms. Tow:
Because there has been no storm event meeting the necessary stormwater sampling criteria at -a
time feasible for a sampling by one of our engineers, the Wix facilities in(Gasionia have not yet
met their stormwater sampling requirements.
I am writing to inform you that we are still attempting to take the necessary samples when the
weather is acceptable for such, as well as looking into other options including training on -site
employees to take the samples.
If you have any questions or comments please do not hesitate to cah us at [phone].

Wix Corporation - Allen Plant
Gaston County
The Division of Water Quality (Division) has reviewed your petition submitted on behalf of the
Wix Corporation for representative outfall status at their Allen Plant facility located at 2900
Northwest Boulevard, Gastonia, North Carolina.
You petitioned the Division to allow stormwater discharge outfall #1 (SDO #1) to be
representative of outfall #2 (SDO #2). Based on a review of the submitted documentation, it is
clear to the Division that SDO #1 would contain the same types of potential pollutants as SDO #2.
Therefore, the Division agrees with your petition and grants your request to sample SDO #1 as
representative of SDO #2.
Please note that qualitative monitoring is still required at all outfalls at the facility regardless of
representative outfall status as stated in Part 11, Section C, Paragraph 1 of General Permit
NCG030000,
If you have any questions concerning the contents of this letter, please contact Darren England at

Trash compactor in drainage area l (Outfall to be sampled)
Summary - Both drainage areas contain similar potential sources of pollutants, oil and
grease from vehicular traffic and pallet / metal bin storage exposure. Request was to
sample outfall 1 as representative, which seems reasonable.
Ozark Plant (NCG030413)
Trench drain near trash compactor and dumpster would be excluded if request was
granted as submitted (Drainage areas 1 & 2).
No bulk storage of liquids.
Summary - Four outfall identified. Outfalls 1 & 2 having similar exposures (Roof,
vehicles, compactor, and dumpster) and 3 & 4 having similar exposures (Roof, vehicles,
metals waste bin). Recommend modifying request to include sampling of outfall 2 in order
to monitor trench drain effluent.
Dixon Plant (NCG030414)
No above ground bulk storage of liquids, one UST indicated
Drainage area 1 exposure primarily vehicular, some shipping exposure.
Summary - Drainage area 2 contains most of the potential sources of exposure, dumpsters,
metal bins, trash compactor, vehicular, and shipping. Request was to sample outfall 2 as
representative, which seems reasonable.
