The primary goal of this inspection was to evaluate compliance with the conditions of the NCG030000 General Permit, to discuss any actions that have been or could be taken to identify and limit potential sources of zinc and copper related to process operations. At the time of this inspection the facility was found to be in compliance with permit NCG030011 and no illicit discharges were discovered. Please keep in mind that benchmark exceedances are NOT limit violations or violations of permit conditions; however, you are obligated to follow the tiered response actions outlined in your permit. BorgWarner Emissions/Thermal Systems has been following the tiered response actions and therefore is in compliance with the permit. As part of tiered response, BorgWarner Emissions/Thermal Systems initiated housekeeping actions to reduce the zinc and copper levels and additional analytical monitoring to assess potential contributors, as documented in two reports from 2014 and 2015 provided during the inspection. Based on these actions and no finding of significant sources of zinc or copper related to processing at the facility, and upon receipt of this letter, BorgWarner Emissions/Thermal Systems may continue with the permit specified semi-annual analytical monitoring for the remainder of the current permit term. Your current permit is set to expire on October 31, 2017. This decision only applies to the zinc and copper benchmarks. A benchmark exceedance of any other parameter listed in your permit will trigger tiered response actions as described in the general permit.

From: Kucken, Darlene Sent: Monday, July 06, 2015 4:46 PM To: Georgoulias, Bethany Subject: BorgWarner- Mills Gap Hi Bethany, More questions.... I was contacted by Grover DeHart at BorgWarner (NCG030011) to help them assess what to do about theirCU and ZN benchmark hit. I will first note that their file was essentially non-existent here but there was a couple emails with Laura from a few months ago. Since I had been to the other BorgWarner facility, I felt I knew a bit about them. They are in Tier l response at present. They have one outfall and I have some issues with this outfall — so this question first. This outfall is below three pipes (one basically never flows and is from parking lot only, one is from the facility and has minimal and delayed flows and is from their loading dock area, the other captures a highly industrial watershed and is the creek itself.) During my inspection, the creek was running sewage! We went above their site and there was still sewage flowing. So it seems clear to me that sampling this outfall is very misleading. I'd like your input on changing their sampling outfall to ONLY their own pipe from the loading dock area. Okay, so this is tricky. If they sample the pipe from their loading dock area, will they be missing runoff from other drainage areas on their site? That's the basic question. It's true that they should not be sampling an outfall that includes other, unrelated industrial watersheds, nor the creek flow itself. Do all three pipes converge in a ditch or something before exiting, and then flow into a third pipe all commir;led? (Do you have a photo by any chance?) Does runoff from their property flow into a ditch and join that final pipe, below where the other three pipes are? Basically my answer would be this: #1 Yes, fine to sample only the loading dock area pipe, if that's the only industrial flow from their property. #2 If other flow joins downstream from that, they could sample that loading dock pipe, and then also create a confluence somehow of other flow from the property before it joins the monstrous triple -pipe commingled flow so they can capture runoff representative of their site. But... that's me trying to answer without a visual, and it's not so easy. Give me a call to explain more if you need to. ***Note I'm having phone issues this morning, though...f'm off-line at the moment, so you won't get a hold of me right now."* They have done extra sampling (weekly and ongoing) to determine where their Cu and Zn may be coming from and they provided me with their data. Two things arise for the ZN levels: the new galvanized roof and downspouts — and — ready for this?? — the air conditioner condensate water on the roof (0.766, 0.477. 0.512, 0.381). So one thought that comes to mind is whether they've ever cleaned the AC system coils with chemicals that contain those metals to prevent bacterial growth. Or with acidic chemicals that may draw out the metal from the coils or other parts in that system. I imagine the galvanized roof (you said it's new, so recently installed I assume) is probably a bigger influence. How much data do they have? Sounds like they are on the road to constructing a good case, if they haven't already. Under the revised benchmarks, they'd look pretty good since they're barely over the current benchmarks. I can scan and send you their research summary with data if it helps. The facility is very clean and they don't process any Zn or Cu. They believe the new roof and the air conditioner is the source. But I also want to emphasize that their sample outfall is not a good outfall to assess processing at this facility. Want more info? Let me know. But I don't think they should have to do any further tiered work.

Thank you for helping NCDENR be environmentally responsible. permit: NCG030011 Owner • Facility, Borg Warner Cooling Systems Inspection date: 0710112015 Inspection Type : Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine Inspection Summary: 1. This inspection was conducted by request of Grover DeHart to assess progress made towards assessing potential Zn and Cu inputs to stormwater from process activities as part of Tier I investigations and as a general stormwater permit compliance evaluation. 2. The following observations were made during the inspection: a. There are five pipes being assessed for potential Cu and Zn inputs to stormwater. These pipes are serving as a research study. b. Per the stormwater permit, there is one outfall that should be sampled as a measure of potential inputs of Zn and Cu from process activities at the facility. This is called the "right pipe". Other pipes being sampled are not actual outfalls associated with processing and are only being sampled as part of the research study to determine potential inputs. c. It was noted during the inspection that the "center/main pipe/creek" had raw sewage in the flow at the time of inspection. This pipe is not considered to be representative of the facility process activities and should not be sampled as the outfall sample. d. There is a galvanized roof that was installed last year and gutters were added within the last few months that could be contributing to Zn and Cu levels. 3. Current benchmark levels for Zn = 067mg/L and for Cu = _007niglL. Upon permit renewal, these benchmark levels will be increased to Zn = ,126mg/L and Cu = .010mg1L. At current benchmark levels, the facility is below the benchmark for Zn in the 2015 sampling of the "right pipe" (.048mg/[)and above the Cu benchmark (.023mg/L). 4. In addition to the five pipes assessed for the research study, the study also assessed the potential contributions of Zn from the air conditioner condensate water on the roof. The sampling showed high levels of Zn in the condensate water sample (.766, .477, .512, and .381 mg/L). It appears that the condensate water may be a contributor of Zn and further reseach on this contributor may be warranted if Zn and Cu benchmarks are exceeded such that Tier II sampling is required in the future. 5. In summary, it appears that housekeeping has been assessed and internal contributions to Zn and Cu are relatively non-existent; the reseach study has demonstrated Zn and Cu levels at several locations; the air conditioner condensate water has shown the highest levels of Zn; and Cu from the "right pipe" was above the benchmark in the 2015 sampling. 6. Semi-annual sampling of the "right pipe" should continue per permit conditions.

The primary goal of this inspection was to evaluate compliance with the conditions of the NCG030000 General Permit, to discuss any actions that have been or could be taken to identify and limit potential sources of zinc and copper related to process operations, and to discuss potential for representative outfall statds on -one or more outfalls. At the time of this inspection the facility was found to be in compliance with permit NCGO30075 and no illicit discharges were discovered. Monthly monitoring was triggered by exceedances of the zinc and copper benchmarks in Storm Drain Outfalls OF-1, OF-2, OF-3, OF-4 and OF-7 at your facility. Please keep in mind that benchmark exceedances are NOT limit violations or violations of permit conditions, however, you are obligated to follow the tiered response actions outlined in your permit. BorgWarner Turbo Systems has been fallowing the tiered . response actions and therefore is in compliance with the permit. As part of tiered response, BorgWarner Turbo Systems initiated housekeeping actions to reduce the zinc and copper levels, as documented in the 'Evaluation of Stormwater Activities Related to Tiered Response' dated March 26, 2015. Based on these actions and no finding of significant sources of zinc or copper, we are granting regulatory relief in the form of a collapsed Tier 2 — Tier 3 response. Upon receipt of this letter, BorgWarner Turbo Systems may resume the permit specified semi-annual analytical monitoring for the remainder of the current permit term. Your current permit is set to expire on October ' 31, 2017.

A benchmark exceedance of any other parameter listed in your permit will trigger tiered response actions as described in the general permit. In response to your request for Representative- Outfall Status, we agree that OF-3 is representative of OF-2 and OF-3. We also note that OF-4, OF-5, OF-6 and OF-7 should be documented as. outfalls in your SPPP, but you are granted relief from analytical monitoring of these outfalls because they are not related to any process areas. Therefore, analytical monitoring will -only be required per your permit conditions on OF-1 and OF-3. You must notify this office in writing, within five business days, if you become aware of any significant source of zinc or copper at your facility that has the potential to be exposed to stormwater. The relief granted in this letter is contingent upon the current industrial practices at BorgWarner Turbo Systems. If industrial practices change and zinc or copper does become a significant stormwater exposure risk then this office reserves the right to withdraw this decision and reinstate the permit specified tiered response or other actions that may be warranted by the new set of circumstances.

The site was found to be in very clean condition both inside and outside. A field assesment of potential impacts to each outfall was conducted. Based on the reference analytical work conducted, best management practices installed, and the site conditions, the following communication was provided by email on 3116t2015 from Darlene Kucken to Jack Martindale and Matthew Wallace: 1. Outfalls #4, 5, 6 and 7 should be documented in your SWPPP and you should conduct visual inspections per your permit, but you are granted relief from analytical monitoring of these outfalls because they are related to parking lots and grassed areas and not to process areas. Please understand that these four outfalls are unregulated, which is different from Representative Outfall Status. 2. As for your request for Representative Outfall Status: We are prepared to agree to continued sampling of outfall #1 and outfall #3 (as representative of outfalls #2 and #3). Therefore, only outfalls #1 and #3 will require analytical monitoring. This should be documented in your SWPPP. 3. Please submit a written engineering argument for the relief from monthly Tiered sampling. This argument should address what you have already done in response to the exceedances, such as wet mopping, magnet sweeping, pre -vent filters, etc., etc. Within the engineered argument, please provide your data on the rainfall sampling you conducted. The intent of this argument is to provide documentation, which we do not currently have from you, to the file. Until we receive this engineered argument, you should continue your Tiered sampling. 4.

As we discussed, this facility has only exceeded the zinc benchmark once, and is still in Tier I response. You indicated that you all have put together a team to initiate investigation and response to the Tier I requirements. Also, you corrected me in that this is the Borg Warner facility out in Mills Gap area at NCG030011, NOT the other facility (NCG030075). Thanks for the clarification. We look forward to working with you. Thanks, Laura Laura Herbert, P.E.

From: Herbert, Laura C Sent: Thursday, July 03, 2014 9:17 AM To: odehart@borqwarner.com Cc: Wiggs, Linda; Fox, Tim; Kucken, Darlene Subject: RE: NCG03 Borg Warner NCG 030075 Grover, Thanks for your notification regarding exceedance of the zinc benchmark. We have been corresponding with Matthew Wallace of AMEC regarding your facility. I think that J Martindale of BW was also copied on these discussions (see attached email string). We are aware that non -process contributors such as galvanized roofing and gutters can increase zinc levels in outfalls, but we want to be sure that any potential process contributors have been addressed and minimized. As part of the tiered response, we would encourage you to review the facility material inventory for any processes that may be using zinc -containing materials and any possible venting/exposure of these materials to stormwater. Where feasible, these potential exposures should be addressed with best management practices (BMPs) to reduce stormwater exposures. We appreciate your efforts in minimizing stormwater exposures and look forward to working with you to address your concerns. If zinc benchmarks continue to be exceeded after implementation of BMPs, we can review the facility for regulatory relief from the Tiered response. To initiate this, we will need a request from the N� company that summarizes the results, wrtat actions the company has taken in the tiered response, and your inventory/process review for zinc exposures generated as part of the process. Any information concerning background levels of zinc or non -process sources will also be helpful. Once we receive this, we will schedule an inspection as part of our review of the request. Let me know if you have any questions or need more information. Give Darlene Kucken or me a call at (828) 296-4500 if you would like to discuss. Regards, Laura Laura Herbert, P.E.

Additional conditions for specific industry sectors have been added to the SPPP requirements in some cases. • Sections B, C: Failure to perform analytical stormwater monitoring may result in the Division requiring that the permittee begin a monthly sampling scheme. • Sections B, C: A lower TSS benchmark of 50 mg/1 for HOW, ORW, PNA and Tr Waters applies to these more sensitive waters. • Sections B, C. The monitoring parameter Oil & Grease (O&G) has been replaced by the parameter Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) for vehicle maintenance areas, and in some cases, other analytical monitoring requirements. • Sections 8, C, D: Inability to sample due to adverse weather must be recorded in the SPPP, or in separate on -site records if your General Permit does not require an SPPP. Adverse weather is defined in the "Definitions" section of the permit. • Sections 8, C The term "Representative Storm Event" has been replaced by "Measurable Storm Event." A measurable storm event is defined in the permit. • Section D: if the permittee fails to respond effectively to problems identified by qualitative monitoring, DWQ may require the permittee to perform corrective action. Please review Parts III and IV to understand the Standard Conditions of your new NPDES General Permit, including Compliance and Liability, Reporting, Monitoring and Records requirements; Operation and Maintenance obligations; and Definitions. Please note that all samples analyzed in accordance with the terms of this permit must be submitted to the Division on Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) forms available on the Stormwater Permitting Unit's website above.
