Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
I met with Tom Hill and Wayne Bray to complete the inspection. They explained that they have 2 boilers
the State DOL does 2 inspections per year for the boilers, and during the inspections they dump all the
water from one boiler, so each boiler is emptied once per year. Each boiler contains —1400 gal. They
dump into a floor drain that goes to a storm drain and eventually leads to an unnamed tributary to Little
Troublesome Creek. They said that they take samples from the stream at Courtland Park, where a
blue line appears on various maps, and where they said they were told to take samples by inspectors
in the past. When they dump they said they add water for dilution.
Additives are Sodium hydroxide, and ChemAqua formulas 10100, 12800, and 18101. They said these
are the same chemicals they've always added but the company may have a different name. According
to the SDS:
10100 contains sodium sulfite, sodium betabisulfite and cobalt sulfite (-1 % cobalt sulfite)
12800 contains potassium hydroxide
18101 contains morpholine and 2-methoxyethanol. Operators said this is contained in the boilers'
steam and isn't discharged.
If new additives are to be used, Permittee should notify the Division in writing as required by the Permit.
Semiannual monitoring summary:
Date COD pH Temp
(mg/1) (F)
4/19 <15 6.7 63.7
10/18 <15 6.7 66.8
4/18 60 6.5 57
10/17 <15 6.5 63
Analyzed by Meritech. They said they get the sample to them within 15 minutes of collection, so
Meritech uses their own meters for pH and temp.
