Davis, PE, CPM Pat McCrory, Governor Director John E. Skvada, III, Secretary 24 March 2014 Mr. Tony Sprinkle Wieland Copper Products, LLC P.O. Box 160 Pine Hall, NC 27042 Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection &Tiered Response Requirements NPDES General Stormwater Permit NCG030000 Certificate of Coverage NCG030124 Wieland Copper Products, LLC Stokes Co u my Dear Mr. Sprinkle: Aana Taylor -Smith of the Winston-Salem Regional Office of the NC Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources (DEMLR) conducted a compliance evaluation inspection at the subject facility on 21 March 2014. Your assistance and cooperation, as well as that of Mr. Curtis Hicks, were greatly appreciated. An inspection checklist is attached for your records and the inspection findings are summarized below. This facility is located at 3990 US Highway 311 North in Pine Hall, Stokes County, North Carolina. Stormwater related to industrial activity is discharged from the site to the Dan River, this segment of which is currently classified as Class WS-IV Waters in the Roanoke River Basin. Documentation & Monitoring Review This inspection was conducted to assess compliance with NPDES General Stormwater Permit NCG030000 and to evaluate the drainage to the facility's five Stormwater Discharge Outfalis (SDOs). Monthly monitoring has been triggered by consecutive exceedances of the copper and zinc benchmarks at all outfalls. 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. Wieland Copper Products has been following the tiered response actions and is therefore in compliance with the permit. The facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) contains all of the required elements and is up to date and fully implemented. Both qualitative and analytical monitoring have been completed as required. New oil use for vehicle maintenance does not exceed 55 gallons per month on average. Site Review The facility is clean and well maintained. Secondary containment is implemented as required. All five outfalls were inspected and found to be in excellent condition. No evidence of erosion or instability at the SDOs was observed, and in all cases, the receiving stream was free of pollution indicators. Winston-Salem Regional Office 585 Waughtown Street, Winston-Salem, NC 27101 . Phone: 336-771-5000 I FAX: 336-771-4631 Wieland Copper Products 03/24/2014. Page 2 of 2 Tiered Response Requirements Currently, monthly monitoring is required in response to two consecutive exceedances of the benchmark values or range for any specific parameter at a specific SDO. Wieland Copper Products has completed monthly monitoring for all outfalls as well as taking extensive actions to identify and eliminate potential sources of pollution. The facility has spent over $200,000 on new buildings to cover industrial materials, plus additional funds on testing, new containment areas, a sweeper to clean outdoor areas, outfail maintenance, cleaning, and employee training. Wieland Copper Products has achieved ISO 14001 certification for environmental management and is a very well maintained facility. Additionally, well monitoring results at the site show groundwater copper levels of 1.78 rng/L and zinc levels of 0.54 mg/L. Those results exceed the NCG030000 permit's benchmark levels of 0.007 mg/L for copper and 0.067 mg/L for zinc, indicating that background levels of metals at this site are relatively high. Wieland Copper Products continually takes measures to reduce the potential for stormwater contamination on site and has a very rigorous environmental program. At this time, the Division concurs that more frequent monitoring at this site would be ineffective. The Division relieves you of the additional monitoring frequencies required in the Tiered Response section of this permit for copper and zinc. You must continue to monitor semi-annually as required by the permit, but you will not be required to institute monthly monitoring for any future exceedances of the copper and zinc parameters at Outfalls 1-5. Tiered response requirements still apply for all other parameters. You must notify this office in writing within five business days if you become aware of any significant source of copper or zinc 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 and housekeeping actions at Wieland Copper Products. If industrial practices change and copper and/or zinc become a significant stormwater exposure risk, this office reserves the right to withdraw this decision and reinstate the permit -specified tiered response or other actions that may be warranted.. We appreciate your efforts to comply with the stormwater permit and the proactive steps taken to identify and eliminate potential sources of pollution. No additional response to this letter is required, but please append this letter to your SPPP to document that your facility has been relieved of monthly monitoring requirements for the specified parameters. Should you have any questions regarding the NCG030000 permit or this inspection, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Taylor -Smith or me at (336) 771-5000. Sincerely, Matthew E.

E. Director December 4, 2012 Natural Resources Dee Freeman Secretary Subject: NPDES Stormwater Permit Coverage Renewal Wieland Copper Products, LLC COC Number NCG030124 Stokes County In response to your renewal application for continued coverage under stormwater General Permit NCG030000 the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) is forwarding herewith the reissued General Permit. This permit is reissued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between the state of North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, dated October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended). The following information is included with your permit package: • A new Certificate of Coverage (COC) • A copy of General Permit NCG030000 • A copy of the Technical Bulletin for the General Permit • Two copies of the Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Form • Two copies of the Qualitative Monitoring Report Form The General Permit authorizes discharges of stormwater, and it specifies your obligations for discharge controls, management, monitoring, and record keeping. Please review the new permit to familiarize yourself with all the changes in the reissued permit. Your facility has six (6) months from the time of receipt of the permit to update your current SPPP to reflect all new permit requirements. The first sample period of your permit begins January 1, 2013. Your facility must sample a "measureable storm event" beginning during the periods beginning January 1 and July 1 of every year (or, if applicable, report "No Flow," as outlined in Part III, Section E). Also, please note that Tier 3 Actions in Part II of your permit are triggered by benchmark exceedances on four occasions beginning on the effective date of this permit and do not count prior exceedances. The more significant changes in the General Permit since your last COC was issued are noted either in the Draft Permit Fact Sheet that accompanied the public notice (http://po.-tal.ncdenr.org/web wq/ws/su/current- notices), or in the Response to Comments / Summary of Changes and Technical Bulletin documents that are posted on the Stormwater Permitting Unit's website with the new General Permit. Please visit http://Portal.ncdenr,orp/web/wq/ws/su/npdessw (click on 'General Permits' tab) to review that information for your specific General Permit carefully. 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Location: 512 N.

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/I for HQW, 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 B, 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 B, C: The term "Representative Storm Event" has been replaced by "Measurable Storm Event." A measurable storm event is defined in the permit. • Section 0: 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. DMR forms must be delivered to the Division no later than 30 days from the date the facility receives the sampling results from the laboratory. Also note that existing permittees do not need to submit a renewal request prior to expiration unless directed by the Division. Your coverage under the General Permit is transferable only through the specific action of DWQ. This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by DENR, nor does It relieve the permittee from responsibility for compliance with any other applicable federal, state, or local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or decree. If you have any questions regarding this permit package, please contact the Division's Stormwater Permitting Unit at (919) 507-6300.

This certificate of coverage shall become effective December 4, 2012. This Certificate of Coverage shall remain in effect for the duration of the General Permit. Signed this 411, day of December, 2012. for Charles Wakild, P.E., Director Division of Water Quality By Authority of the Environmental Management Commission Thomas, Mike From: Sent: To: Subject: Attachments: Good Morning Mike, TSprinkle@wieland.com Monday, November 26, 2012 11:41 AM Thomas, Mike-, ETucker@wieland.com Stormwater Reports ATT00001Jpe I have two Stormwater reports to send to you. One report is the monthly sampling report on Outfall 002 for Lead and the other report is the Semi -Annual report for all of the Outfalls. The monthly report which is my 3rd consecutive sample shows that WCP is in compliance with the standard at 0.027 mg/L taken on 10/15/12 at 11:02 am. This would allow WCP to be back into compliance and resolve the lead issue. The Semi -Annual report shows that the lead sample taken on the same day (10/15/12) at 9:00 am by a different operator shows a lead concentration on 0.051 mg/L. This is slightly above the standard of 0.033 mg/L. We have passed our Toxicity monitoring for the quarter for Outfall 002 which means that the lead is not causing any toxicity problems. The only options that WCP has left to do is to install a liner in the lead pipe or to replace the pipe. Both options would be very expensive to do. There was talk at one time of raising the Lead limit for Outfall 002 on the condition that WCP could demonstrate that the lead was not causing any harm to the environment. Can this be done? The other issue is that Bryant Harrell has been on leave of absence so is it okay if my boss who is the Safety & Environmental Director and an Executive signs the report whenever Bryant is out?

Rain Duration: 3hrs 20 min. mg/L = milligrams per Liter= parts per million Ippm) SU = Standard Units <= less than or Below Quantitation Limit (BQL) Stormwater Discharge Calculations WIELAND COPPER PRODUCTS, LLC 2012 Calendar Year Rationale for Discharge Calculations The rational formula is used for the basis of the calculations. The rational formula has been developed to calculate the rate of run-off from a rain event of a given intensity over a given area. The formula is written: Q=CIA where: Q is the rate of run-off flow in cubic feet per second (CFS) I is the rain intensity in inches per hour A is the land area contributing run-off to the discharge point and: C is a run-off coefficient which ranges from 0 for a completely pervious surface to 1.0 for a completely impervious surface. The rational formula results from the fact that, for a completely impervious surface, a rainfall of one inch over a period of one hour on an area of one acre will result in a run-off discharge of one CFS. The run-off coefficient C can be. thought of as a correction factor based on the percentage of the total rainfall which will nm off from a given area due to how pervious or impervious the surface of that area is. Since the discharge permit for this facility requires an estimate of the total discharge from the storm event during which samples are collected, we will use a modified form of the rational formula to calculate the total discharge as follows: Qt = CRA (0.027) where: Qt is the total discharge in Million Gallons C is the run-off coefficient as defined above R is the total amount of rainfall in inches A is the surface area contributing flow to the sample location in acres and: The constant 0.027 in the modified equation corrects the units to Million Gallons (MG) based on the fact that 1 acre -inch = 0.027 MG For drainage areas which are comprised of a combination of pervious and impervious areas, the formula can be written as follows: Qt = [CIA, + C2A21 (R) (0.027) where: C, = C factor for pervious areas Ai = pervious area contributing to the outfall in acres C2 = C factor for impervious areas A2 = impervious area contributing to the outfall in acres Discharge Calculations The total rainfall for the August 10, 2012 storm during which samples were collected at this facility was 0.75 inches. We will use generally accepted conservative estimates of the run-off coefficient of C= 090 for impervious areas, and C= 0.50 for pervious areas. The drainage areas contributing to each of the five outfalls as follows: Outfall Total Area (acres) Pervious Area (acres) @ C=0.50 Impervious Area (acres) @ C=0,90 002 15.5 6.2 (40°l0) 9.3 (60%) Total Discharge at Stonnwater_Discharge Outfall 002 Q, = [(0.50)(6.2) + (0.90)(9.3)] (0.75) (0,027) Q, = 0.232 MG Page 2 of 2 B'" .

Page 2 SWIJ-242-020705 Stormwater Discharge Calculations KOBE WIELAND COPPER PRODUCTS, LLC 2010 Calendar Year Rationale for Discharge Calculations The rational formula is used for the basis of the calculations. The rational fonnula has been developed to calculate the rate of run-off from a rain event of a given intensity over a given area. The formula is written: Q=CIA where: Q is the rate of run-off flow in cubic feet per second (CFS) I is the rain intensity in inches per hour A is the land area contributing run-off to the discharge point and: C is a run-off coefficient which ranges from 0 for a completely pervious surface to 1.0 for a completely impervious surface. The rational formula results from the fact that, for a completely impervious surface, a rainfall of one inch over a period of one hour on an area of one acre will result in a run-off discharge of one CFS. The run-off coefficient C can be thought of as a correction factor based on the percentage of the total rainfall which will run off from a given area due to how pervious or impervious the surface of that area is. Since the discharge permit for this facility requires an estimate of the total discharge from the stone event during which samples are collected, we will use a modified form of the rational formula to calculate the total discharge as follows: Q, = CRA (0.027) where: Q, is the total discharge in Million Gallons C is the run-off coefficient as defined above R is the total amount of rainfall in inches A is the surface area contributing flow to the sample location in acres and: The constant 0.027 in the modified equation corrects the units to Million Gallons (MG) based on the fact that I acre -inch = 0.027 MG For drainage areas which are comprised of a combination of pervious and impervious areas, the formula can be written as follows: Qt = [CIA[ + C?A?] (R) (0.027) where: C, = C factor for pervious areas Al = pervious area contributing to the outfall in acres C2 = C factor for impervious areas A-, = impervious area contributing to the outfall in acres The total rainfall for the June 12, 2010 stone during which samples were collected at this facility was 0.1 inches. We will use generally accepted conservative estimates of the run-off coefficient of C= 0.90 for impervi'bus areas, and C= 0.50 for pervious areas. The drainage areas contributing to each of the five outfalls as follows: Outfall Total Area (acres) Pervious Area (acres) G C=0.50 hnpervious Area (acres) a C=0.90 002 15.5 6.2 (40%) 9.3 (60%) Total Discharge at Stormwater Discharge Outfall 002 Qt _ [(0.50)(6.2) + (0.90)(9.3)] (0.1) (0.027) Qt = 0.031 MG Page 2 of 2 RESEARCH & ANA1yTICA1 LAbORATORiES, INC.

Discussed the problem with SE Laboratories Engineer and he thinks there may be a hydrogen sulfide problem due to low flow issues. A type of bacteria may be the issue. We are starting treatment with Magnesium Hydroxide which will raise the PH and coat the pipe with the material which will keep the lead from leaching from the pipe.

Took samples of material around exhaust fans and sent them to certified laboratory. B. Contacted certified laboratory and will begin sampling of outfall on a monthly basis as required by the permit. C. Lab Tests came back showed that the material around the roof fans contain .054 rng/L of lead and the PH is 5.99. D. Received a quote from environmental company to clean around fans, E. Consulted with maintenance technician about the type of grease used for the fan bearings. All bearings are sealed and do not require grease. F. No identification has yet been possible as to where the lead would come from in the plant exhaust. G. 9-30-08 contacted Mr. Kory Bassinger in the Raleigh office and he said that the lead might be naturally occurring and to send him what I had and lie would get back to me. H. Continuing to take monthly samples as required by the permit. Monthly samples still showing lead concentrations exceeding the permit limits.

Box 160 Pine Hall, NC 27042 Subject: Response to Compliance Evaluation Inspection and Notice of Violation (NPDES Permit No. NCO035173 and General NPDES Stormwater Permit No. NCG030124) 3. The additional chlorine tablets observed by your DWQ Field Inspector was added as a precautionary measure in case of chlorine demand spikes that infrequently in the past have caused an exceedance of our NPDES Permit limit for fecal coliform. We believe this problem has been corrected by replacement of suspected chemical cleaning agents. Recent historical data appears to show that this problem has been significantly reduced. 4. In response to DWQ inspectors comments concerning "significant amount of greaseballs floating in WWTP" the operator/maintenance staff will increase their efforts to physically remove these floating solids even though it has not appeared to adversely impact effluent permit limits. As suggested by DWQ's > inspection we will investigate this further to determine source and impact to NPDES permit compliance. The problem associated with meeting minimum TRC detection limit using the Hach "Pocket Pal" Colorimeter has been corrected. Kobe Wieland's WWTP Contractor (Research and Analytical Laboratories, Inc.) in coordination with DWQ-Laboratory Certification Representative, Gary Francies, has ordered a Hach DR 2700 Spectrophotometer to meet the lower minimum detection limit. It is expected this requirement will be met within thirty (30) days, but not until PE samples for low level TRC has been performed, as well as, a five point verification of each internal standard curve. 8. A copy of the receipt from the septic hauling company that removes sludge from the WWTP is included in this response for your review. Carolina Backhoe from Walkertown, NC provides this service. Sludge from Kobe Wieland is hauled to the Archie Elledge WWTP in Winston-Salem, NC. In addition, we are in the process of preparing an Annual Compliance/Performance Report for the WWTP and it is also included in this response. 11d. Drainage Area 5 which drains to SDO 005 will be monitored in accordance with the permit. 12a.

Box 160 Pine Hall, NC 27042 SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection Individual NPDES Wastewater Discharge Permit: NCO035173 Compliance Evaluation Inspection & Notice of Violation General NPDES Stormwater Discharge Permit: NCG030124 NOV-2009-PC-0044 KobeWieland Copper Products, CLC Stokes County Dear Mr. Sprinkle: Mr. Ron Boone of the Winston-Salem Regional Office (WSRO) of the NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ or the Division) conducted compliance evaluation inspections (CEI) of KobeWieland's wastewater treatment plant (WWTP-NCO035173) and stormwater, program (NCG030124) on 7 January 2009. Your assistance and cooperation during the inspection, as well as that of Mr. Mark Nault, Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) of the WWTP, were greatly appreciated. Inspection findings are summarized below and inspection reports are attached for your records. 2. The manufacturing facility is located at 3990 US Highway 311, approximately 0.5 miles northeast of the intersection of US Highway 311 and NC Highway 772, in Pinehall, Stokes County, North Carolina. Both wastewater and stormwater are discharged to the Dan River, this section of which is currently classified as Class WS-IV (water supply) waters in the Roanoke River basin. The WWTP is a package plant that consists of a bar screen, aeration basin, clarifier, chlorinator, dechlorinator and an aerobic digester. The WWTP receives domestic wastewater from the manufacturing facility. NCO035173 authorizes the discharge from this WWTP at outfall 001, as well as the discharge of cooling tower blowdown and non -contact cooling water at outfall 003.. The manufacturing facility is also authorized to discharge stormwater related to industrial activity under general NPDES stormwater permit NCG030124. NCO035173 - Outfall 001 - WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT SITE REVIEW Na"hCarotina North Carolina Division of Water Quality Winston-Salem Regional Office Ph: (336)771-5000 Customer Service: 1-877-623-6748 Surface Water Protection Section Fax: (336)771-4630 Internet: vNAv.ncwaterquality.org. 585 Waughtown Steel, Winston-Salem, NC 27107 An Equal OpportunityfAfftrma6ve Action Employer — 50% Recycledflo% Post Consumer Paper Mr. Tony Sprinkle `! NCO035173 & NCG030124 NOV-2009-PC-0044 KobeWieland Copper Products, LLC 21 January 2009 Page 2 of 6 3. The facility appeared clean and fairly well maintained. Mr. Boone noted during the inspection that significant amounts of chlorine tablets were being placed in the clarifier's weir overflow trough, just prior to the actual tube type chlorinator. All four tubes of the chlorinator were also full of tablets. When Mr. Boone questioned you and Mr. Nault about this, you mentioned that the WWTP often receives rogue flows from the manufacturing facility, resulting from workers and custodial personnel dumping unauthorized substances into toilets,'slop sinks and other domestic drains. It is believed that these rogue flows have made it somewhat difficult to maintain a viable biological population in the WWTP that can maintain permit effluent compliance; therefore the chlorine is being added in an effort to negate any impacts resulting from this unfortunate trend. You also mentioned several initiatives that you have undertaken within the manufacturing facility to stop such rogue flows; including training, providing tanks where such materials can be dumped and .disposed properly, and disciplinary actions to any personnel caught dumping such materials into domestic drains. The limit violation history of the WWTP also indicates that operators had have difficulty for quite some time now, maintaining a good balance between the control of Fecal Caliform and Total Residual Chlorine in the effluent. Please be aware that if such violations do continue, violation notices as well as the assessment of civil penalties may increase progressively. Ultimately, KobeWieland must take all steps'necessary to prevent this unfortunate trend and prevent further violations. In addition, all actions KobeWieland takes to curb this trend must be well documented. 4. The WWTP also had a sign ificant-amount of grease balls floating on the surface of the water throughout the WWTP. You mentioned that you thought it was mostly due to employees .washing their hands after handling oily/greasy materials within the manufacturing process. There is also a kitchen in the facility that could be a primary cause of grease in the plant. Regardless, the source of the grease should be investigated further and KobeWieland may need to consider installing a grease trap and/or oil/water separator to assist in correcting this problem. DOCUMENTATION REVIEW 5. Mr. Nault, of Research & Analytical Laboratories, Inc., (R&A), performs field-testing parameters (total residual chlorine (TRC), dissolved oxygen (DO), temperature and pH) and transports non -field samples to R&A's labs for.analysis. Part 11, Section D, Paragraph 4, of the permit states, "To meet the intent of the monitoring required by this permit, all test procedures must produce minimum detection and reporting levels that are below the permit discharge requirements and 'all data generated must be reported down to the minimum detection or lower reporting level of the procedure." The TRC effluent compliance limit for all water/wastewater treatment facilities with chlorine bearing waste streams was set to 50 micrograms per liter (Ltg/1) per the issuance of DWQ policy letter dated 1 May 2008. This new limit became effective 1 March 2008. Mr. Nault currently uses a meter incapable of reading down to a minimum detection level below the 50 4g/I limit. His meter actually reads in milligrams per liter (mgll) and he then converts the.result to 4g1l and reports that value on discharge monitoring reports (DMR). This is a permit violation and must be corrected immediately. Mr. Tony Sprinkle NCO035173 & NCGO30124 NOV-2009-PC-0044 KobeWieland Copper Products; LLC 21 January 2009 Page 3 of 6 6. DMRs were compared with laboratory data and no errors were noted. Chains of custody were complete. All lab related records were complete and current. R&A's laboratory certification is also current. 7. Mr. Nault's visitation and operation/maintenance logs were reviewed and found to be complete and current. Please note that the permit requires all such records to be maintained by the permittee for a minimum of three years. Should the. operation and maintenance of the facility change hands again in the future, the Permittee must retain all such records on file. 8. Please provide a copy of the most recent sludge removal/disposal records with your response to this letter. A copy of the. receipt from the septic hauling company that removed sludge will be sufficient for this requirement. Additionally, KobeWieland has not yet completed an Annual Compliance/Performance Report for the WWTP as required by Part II, Section E, Paragraph 12 of the permit. You must complete the report in accordance with the requirements of this section, because the facility does treat domestic waste. Completion of the report may also benefit KobeWieland in their effort to curb the rogue flows discussed above. NCO035173 - Outfall 003 - Cooling Tower Blowdown & Non -Contact Cooling Water SITE REVIEW 9. Outfall 003 was inspected and no issues were found. It is noted that, for the purposes of measuring temperature for 003 under NC0035173, WW outfall 003 and SW outfall 001 are one in the same. The WW discharged from 003 is actually discharged into a SW pipe that parallels the western side of the plant, the end of which is SW outfall 002. Temperature for WW 003 is also measured at SW 002, to account for the temperature change caused by the combination of the SW and WW in the SW pipe. From the point that WW 003 enters the SW pipe, to the end of the pipe and the receiving stream, or SW outfall 002, is approximately 1,300 feet. This is acceptable; however, please continue to measure all other parameters required for 003 at the discharge pipe for WW 003, before it combines with the SW. No other issues were noted in relation to the site review for WW outfall 003. DOCUMENTATION REVIEW 10. The TRC measurement issue mentioned above in paragraph 5 for WW outfall 001, also applies for WW outfall 003. All required records were available and complete, including ORC visitation, operation/maintenance, DMRs, lab bench data and chains of custody. GENERAL STORMWATER PERMIT - NCG030124 SITE REVIEW 11. There were several problems noted during the site inspection as detailed below: Mr. Tony Sprinkle NCO035173 & NCG030124 NOV-2009-PC-0044 KobeWieland Copper Products, LLC 21 January 2009 Page 4 of 6 a. There are several oil sump access points on the western side of the building that allow oil removal trucks to insert hoses through the exterior wall of the building in order to vacuum out, waste oil sumps on the inside of the building. There was significant evidence of oil spillage at the location of each oil sump access point. These. conditions indicate a lack of proper spill prevention and cleanup training and practice. The process either needs to be altered or preferably, completely stopped by using alternate methods of disposing of waste oil where spills will be less likely to occur and present less of an environmental hazard when they do occur. b. The oil processing area on the southwest corner of the facility was extremely messy and completely unacceptable from a stormwater standpoint. There was a great deal evidence throughout this entire area of significant spillage of oil 'and improper cleanup. This operation must be either moved inside the manufacturing facility, completely covered and better maintained in its current location, or moved to another area outside of the plant with a cover to protect it from precipitation. Although the facility's stormwater pollution prevention plan (SP3) includes a spill plan, it is apparently not well implemented at the site. c. The drain for the secondary containment in the diesel fuel storage area has a valve on it but the handle was broken off and the valve was not locked, as required by the permit. This must be corrected immediately. Please recheck all other secondary containments on site to ensure they also have locked valves that are operated in accordance with Part II, Section A, Paragraph 2(b) of the permit.. Please also note the documentation requirements for the monitoring and draining of secondary containment systems. d. Drainage area 5, which drains to stormwater discharge outfail (SDO) 005, is not currently being monitored in accordance with the permit. This is because the only industrial activity in this drainage area is a relatively small hazardous waste storage building. No activity occurs outside of the facility except the delivery and removal of hazardous waste to and from the building. However, because these activities are industrial in nature, you must immediately start monitoring the area and SDO 005 in accordance with the permit, just as you monitor the other four SDOs and their respective drainage areas. e. The slag storage area, which is immediately adjacent to the oil processing area mentioned above in paragraph 11 b, is also a potential problem. Although it is mostly covered, some of the slag was not under cover at the time of the inspection and stormwater runon and subsequent runoff is carrying some slag residue out from under the cover. This practice should also be reevaluated to prevent carry -off of slag residue in stormwater runoff. DOCUMENTATION REVIEW 12. The facility does have an SP3. The following discrepancies were noted: Mr. Tony Sprinkle NCO035173 & NCG030124 NOV-2009-PC-0044 Kobewieland Copper Products, LLC 21 January 2009 Page 5 of 6 a. The General Location Map (GLM) needs to be updated to reflect whether the receiving stream is impaired and accurate latitudes and longitudes for each SDO. Please review Part 11, Section A, Paragraph 1(a) of the permit for further information on these requirements. b. The Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP) of the SP3 needs to be updated and/or better implemented.. This is apparent from the conditions mentioned above concerning the oil sump access points and the oil processing area. C. The employee -training program also needs to be better implemented with regard to spill prevention, cleanup and reporting procedures, as also evidenced by the conditions mentioned above. d. The SP3 contains a written statement that no spills have occurred at the site. However, the SP3 was written in December 2006 and there is no update to this statement as to whether any other spills have occurred since then. Please note that there is no spill amount threshold for this requirement. All spills at the facility should be managed and recorded through the use of a properly implemented SPRP and SP3. There are established spill amount thresholds at which you must report such spills to DWQ within 24 hours. If you are not familiar with these thresholds, please contact Mr. Boone for further information. e. The annual review of the SP3 must be annotated and dated each time it is completed. Also, the annual review requirement now requires you to update the spill statement mentioned above in paragraph 12d, as well as recertify the SDOs in accordance with Part 11, Section A, Paragraph 1(e) of the permit, in conjunction with the annual SP3 review. f. Analytical and qualitative monitoring of SDOs 001 through 004 is being accomplished in accordance with the permit. SDO 002 has experienced lead exceedences for which you have undertaken the newly required Tier One response actions. Please be aware that thorough documentation of Tier One and Tier Two response actions is imperative to showing compliance with these requirements. It is noted that some actions you have taken were not accomplished within the time frames specified in the permit. You should strive to ensure Tier One/Two response actions are completed within the specified timeframes. Please provide an update on your Tier One/Tier Two response activities with your reply to this letter and notify us of any further benchmark exceedences at any of the outfalls, which require further Tier One response actions. Finally, as stated above, please start monitoring drainage area and SDO 005 immediately, in accordance with permit conditions. 13. This office considers the problems with the oil processing area, oil sump access points, and drainage area/SDO 005, as major issues that could lead to severe permit violations. You should strive to correct these issues as soon as possible, preferably within six months. However, in the interim, you must immediately devise a temporary fix to prevent the spillage Mr. Tony Sprinkle NCO035173 & NCGO30124 NOV-2009-PC-0044 KobeWietand Copper Products. LLC 21 January 2009 Page 6 of 6 of oil and provide better cleanup when it does occur. Unannounced follow up inspections may be made to assess your progress with these issues. 14. You are reminded that violations of the NCO035173 and NCG030124 hermits are subject to civil penalties not to exceed $25,000 per day, per violation. Please reply to this letter in writing within 30 days of receiving it. Your reply should include a corrective action with implementation schedule for each of the violations/deficiencies noted above in -paragraphs 3 through 5, 8, 9a through 9e, 10a through 10f, and 11. Please also provide an explanation of the actions you plan to take immediately to address the issues mentioned above in paragraph 11. 15. If you have any questions regarding the inspection or this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Boone or me at (336) 771'-5000. Sincerely, Steve W.
