Subject: NPDES Stormwater Permit Coverage Renewal
Crane Resistoflex
COC Number NCG030499
McDowell 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://Portal.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.org/web/wq/ws/su/npdessw (click on 'General Permits' tab) to review that information
for your specific General Permit carefully.

Some of the changes include:
« Part II:
• Section A: The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) section, if applicable, has been updated
to the most current language of our permits. 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 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. 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 [phone].

Subject: TTO test waiver request
Crane Resistoflex
• Permit NCG030499
Dear Mr. Poteat:
I am returning the partial copy of your Integrated Spill and Stormwater Plan transmitted to
us by your letter of October 8, 2003. I direct your attention to footnote 5, Part II page 5 of
7 of your general permit, NCG030000. The elements of.a solvent management plan are
identified there as a) a list of the total toxic organic compounds used, b) the method of
disposal, and c) the procedures for assuring that toxic organics do not routinely get into the
stormwater. It is not clear that your Integrated Spill and Stormwater Plan contains these
elements, and so, it does not meet the permit requirements of a solvent management plan.
Footnote 5 provides that a permit holder may request a waiver of TTO testing based on the
development of a solvent management plan. For administrative reasons, the DWQ
generally considers that signing the TTO statement on the back of the DMR is that request,
that the request is granted by the permit itself, and that another approval by the DWQ is
not required. Additionally, the DWQ does not routinely require submittal of an industry's
solvent management plan. In your case, since your initial efforts did not meet permit
requirements, please send me a copy of your revised and compliant solvent management
plan if you still propose to take advantage of the TTO testing waiver.
Please call me with any questions or comments at [phone] ext 584.
Sincerely,

Mr. Silvers:
Mr. Steve Grindstaff of the McDowell County Health Department, requested that I send
you information on Crane Resistoflex's permit status, in order to expedite building permits. Crane -
Resistoflex currently has two (2) active permits with the Division of Water Quality. The first is
NPDES Wastewater Permit Number NC0039934. This permit authorizes the plant to discharge
treated wastewater, from their wastewater treatment plant to a tributary of the Catawba River.
This permit also allows the plant -to discharge non -contact cooling water, used in the plant's
processes, to the Catawba River at two (2) separate points or outfalls. The second is the NPDES
Stormwater Permit Number NCG030499. This permit authorizes the plant to discharge
stormwater from the plant property that has been adequately treated and managed in accordance
with their permit. The plant was last inspected on March 7, 2002 and was determined to be in
compliance with its permit conditions.
Finally, the Division has no issue with the Plant adding onto its existing floor drain system,
as long as the system continues to be operated in the manner it is, which precludes the discharge
of any material other than non -contact cooling water.
Should you require more information or have any questions regarding these permits
please contact me at [phone].

3.4 Emergency Response Procedures:
3.4.1 Notification:
Any employee may begin the notification process for any type of emergency. The
employee should notify his Cell Leader or any other PC that can be found quickly. In
the event no PC is available in the immediate area, pick-up any phone in the plant and
dial "0" for the switchboard operator. Advise the operator of the name of the caller,
nature of problem (fire, spill, injury, etc.), location in plant, and if PC or Emergency
Coordinator has been notified. Operator will notify Emergency Coordinator to verify
emergency and if outside resources are needed. If confirmed, operator will notify
"91 1" (McDowell Emergency Operation Center) of the emergency, answer any
questions the dispatcher has and await their instructions. Emergency Coordinator will
decide if evacuation is required and if so notify Switchboard Operator to activate alarm
system and begin emergency operations activating this plan. Even if no outside agency
response is needed, some notifications may be required to be made to local and state
officials depending on the emergency. If the spill has reached or is likely to reach the
sewer system or the drainage system that empties into the Catawba River, the
Emergency Coordinator shall notify the following agencies:

9) Actions Taken
Any request for outside assistance will automatically activate a notification process thru
the McDowell County Emergency Management Agency of any local or state agency
requiring notification.
3.4.2 Incident Control & Response:
Any control or containment decision must be made based on several factors. The
amount of materials spilled, the danger involved in the materials spilled, location in the
facility, materials involved in fire and its quantity, Bomb Threat, Injury or Medical
Emergency just to name a few. The decision whether to evacuate all or part of the plant
must also be made by the Emergency Coordinator. If the incident happens on the
second shift or on the weekend when few or no trained personnel are at the plant, the
employee should notify the night watchman and he will notify plant management and/or
an Emergency Coordinator, or if needed the employee may notify the "91 1" dispatch
center.
3.4.2.1 Spills:
In the event of a spill or release of hazardous or non -hazardous materials, only

PROC NAMEWOLDER: CONTENGENCY PLAN & EMERGENCY / EHS DATE PRINTED 05/01/13

BANE Resistoflex
One Quality Way
Marion, NC 28752
Revision H
These guidelines outline procedures to be followed to insure prompt action in
the event of a Spill, Fire, Bomb Threat, Weather or other incident that would
require the evacuation of this facility, Evacuation routes listed in section 3.7.4
should be reviewed periodically with all employees. Actual Drills should be
held at least semi-annual. All employees transferred to another department
should be retrained. All new employees should be made aware of evacuation
routes on their first day. Employees should be aware of evacuation routes if
they happen to be in another part of the building during an emergency. Cell
Leaders have been designated as evacuation wardens. The Cell Leader will
insure all employees that report to them are aware of the emergency and has
started to the Pavilion Shed for accountability purposes. The Cell Leader will
turn off hydraulic units and any process that cannot be left unattended until the
all -clear signal is given and all employees are allowed to return to the facility.
3.7.2 When to evacuate:
The decision to evacuate either the entire facility or just a certain section will be
made based on the immediate threat to our employee's health & safety. A spill
in the Mixing Room may require employees to move to the other end of the
building while the spill is cleaned up. However, a major fire or Bomb Threat
would require a plant wide evacuation of all employees.
3.7.3 Emergency In -House Response Team (Reference 3.6.7):
In the event an evacuation is sounded, the Emergency Coordinator, persons
trained in fire response, spill containment, and maintenance personnel are to
meet at the front employee entrance door. The Emergency Coordinator will
account for the employees present and notify Personnel Control at the Pavilion
Shed. This team will then proceed to address what ever the emergency may
involve. First Aid Personnel should, if possible, retrieve first Aid Cart and
proceed to the Pavilion and await further instructions.
3.7.4 Signals to evacuate:
A continuous "yeow" horn signal from the fire alarm system will indicate that.
all personnel should evacuate the plant and assemble at the employee picnic
shed, which is located approximately 100 yards north of the plant lobby
entrance. Persons having the authority to sound the emergency evacuation
alarm are as follows;
1.) Any Emergency Coordinator
2.) Any Staff Member
3.) Any Cell Leader
4.) Engineering Group
5.) Second Shift Supervisor
Specific department or area evacuation may be necessary without total plant
evacuation. This will be decided only by the Emergency Coordinator.
No employee should return to the facility until the all -clear signal is given by
the Emergency Coordinator or the Emergency Response Team.
3.7.5 Drills & Testing of Alarms:
Actual drills shall be conducted at least two times per year. Drills should not
contain the same scenario and conditions every time. Drills must vary in the
initial response from in-house teams, notifications, and evacuation routes.

SUBJECT: Compliance Sampling Inspection
Crane Resistoflex
�--Pe Imr t No:—NCG500616 _McDowell`County
Dear Mr. Daggett:
On May 1, 2013, a compliance sampling inspection was conducted at the Crane
Resistoflex facility. The facility was found to be non -compliant with permit NCG500616.
You were present during a portion of the inspection, as was Jerry Freeman and Manny
Mojica with Crane Resistoflex.
There was some confusion during the inspection regarding the permits Crane Resistoflex
holds. Crane Resistoflex currently holds two Division of Water Quality (DWQ) permits; a
Stormwater General Permit (NCG030499) and a Wastewater General Permit
(NCG500616). Attached is a letter to DWQ dated June 26, 2003 from Todd Poteat with
Crane Resistoflex rescinding an old Wastewater Individual Permit (NC039934). My
inspection was for the Wastewater General permit NCG500616, which is associated with
non -contact cooling waters etc. However, because of the permit confusion we did
discuss the Stormwater General Permit at length as well. Therefore there are important
comments in the inspection reported related to that permit which needs your attention.
Also attached is letter from DWQ to Crane Resistoflex regarding Total Toxic Organics
(TTO) sampling. Total Toxic Organic sampling is required for the Stormwater General
Permit. This parameter is not currently being sampled; you will need to immediately
include this in your stormwater sampling.
Regarding the Wastewater General Permit there are several items that need to be
addressed for compliance. It is important that you review the attached Water Compliance
Inspection Report for findings and required actions. Items requiring immediate attention
include initiating sampling of your wastewater discharges according to the permit for pH,
temperature and chlorine, as well as upstream and downstream sampling. Chlorine levels
during the inspection were elevated and a concern for aquatic organisms.

Crane Resistoflex
You mentioned during the inspection that you may hire a consultant to assist you with
compliance, if you do hire someone please have them contact me. You are required to
report back to me in writing by July 31, 2013 the actions you plan to undertake for
compliance. In your response you need to address how you plan to obtain and maintain
compliance with your wastewater permit. Also include in your response all wastewater
sampling results obtained from the date of this letter through July. It is requested that you
sample your effluent and receiving stream on several occasions (weekly is suggested, at
a minimum monthly) to assist you in determining if your actions are achieving compliance
with your wastewater permit.
Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for inspection findings and actions Crane
Resistoflex will need to take. If you or your staff have any questions, please call me at
828-296-4500.

There appears to be confusion between the stormwater permit (NCG030499) requirements and the
wastewater permit (NCG500616) requirements.
STORMWATER PERMIT:
Sampling results presented to the inspector from Pace Labs were for the Stormwater Permit. Although this
inspection was not a stormwater inspection, I will offer comments regarding the stormwater permit
compliance issues in order to assist the facility.
1. Contact Tim Fox with Division of Water Quality (DWQ) at 828-296-4500 for follow up compliance
assistance.
2. The stormwater samples are not being obtained correctly. Please review Part it Section B of Stormwater
Permit for sampling requirements. The frequency should be semi-annual unless in a tiered response mode.
The stormwater samples must be obtained during a storm event and collected within the first 30 minutes of
the stormwater discharge. This sampling requirement is important because the first flush of stormwater is a
representative sample of the pollution load since it carries the most pollutants to the stream. Sample results
reviewed indicated one sample set was obtained without any rainfall- Samples are obtained by a consultant
in Asheville, so it is unlikely the 30 minute requirement can be met. Personnel at the facility should be
gathering the samples and notifying consultant to come and pick up the samples for delivery to the lab. The
Consultant can train Crane Resistoflex personnel in proper sampling and handling techniques. See Table 1
in stormwater permit for required parameters.
3. A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan has not been developed and implemented. Review Part 1,
Section A of Stormwater Permit for Plan requirements. Pieces of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
may be at the facility (i.e. other program requirements; Contingency Plan and Emergency Procedures) but
have not been specifically developed and properly implemented for compliance with the Stormwater Permit.
4. Illicit discharges need to be evaluated and removed. This is an old industrial building, therefore the
inspector discussed illicit discharges with staff.
WASTEWATER PERMIT:
The facility was not compliant with the. Wastewater Permit. They were unaware of the NCG500616 permit
requirements (General Permit No. NCG500000 Non -Contact Cooling Water, Cooling Tower and Boiler
Blowdown, Condensate, etc). Required actions listed below are to assist facility with their General
Wastewater Permit compliance.
1. Contact the local municipality to determine if discharging wastewater into the sewer system is a feasible
alternative. Contact Larry Carver with the City of Marion at 652-8843. If you chose to tie onto the City sewer
system contact me at 296-4500 to assist you with rescinding your NCG500616 General Wastewater permit.
2. You have to begin sampling your Wastewater Discharge (small boiler in lab and Ram tower extruder).
Two wastewater discharges were discussed during the inspection. One discharge was sampled during the
inspection (Ram Tower). Results indicated non-compliance with the permit (Part I A(1)).
3. If Crane Resistoflex wishes to retain the Wastewater permit, the chlorine residual in the wastewater
discharge will have to be reduced. Chlorine is higly toxic to aquatic organisms especially at the levels
indicated during the inspection. There are options to reduce/remove chlorine from your wastewater
discharge; if you have the gradient it is possible to aerate the wastewater discharge enough to volitalize the
chlorine. There are also dechlorination devices that can be installed.

Comment: The Inspector visited two of the three outfalls. Three outfalls are reported
on the site map for this facility. Outfall #4 was evaluated during the inspection. This
outfall carries wastewater associated with the NCG500616 permit. During the
inspection this was discharging wastewater from the Ram tower. The facility has a small
boiler in tab that also has a wastewater discharge, it is unclear where this discharges.
There was an area with several pipes at outfall #4, all of the pipes origins were
unknown. This has to be determined by facility.
The other two outfalls are believed to be associated with the stormwater permit
NCG030499.
Note: Outfall #4 also carries stormwater during a rain event, therefore outfall #4 should
never be sampled for wastewater associated with permit NCG500616 during a rain
event.

Comment: Facility is not sampling for NCG500616 permit. Inspector was presented
with sample results by Pace tabs but these results are from the samples obtained for
the stormwater permit NCG030499, not the wastewater permit.
Wastewater was flowing from outfall #4 and was evaluated, see below and summary.

Comment. Analysis of wastewater effluent (outfall #4, Ram Tower) was performed
during the inspection. Results indicate that temperature may not be an issue in the
receiving stream, however chlorine is likely an issue. Chlorine levels obatined during the
inspection were 1.78 mg/l or 1780 ug/l. The DWQ considers values less than 50 ug/I
compliant with the permit.
Chlorine is toxic to aquatic organisms.
Crane Resistoflex needs to evaluate chlorine levels in their effluent as well as upstream
and downstream where their wastewater discharge enters the receiving stream
(Unnamed Tributary to Catawba). This needs to be done at an increased rate to
determine if the actions taker! by Crane Resistoflex are effective for compliance with
permit limits. Contact inspector for proper upstream and downstream sampling
locations.

The purpose of this letter is to request that Crane Resistoflex Individual Permit No. NC0039934,
be rescinded. Out fall 001 is now piped into the new Pleasant Garden Sewer Extension and the
Package Treatment Plant has been removed from service. I am also requesting that our non -
contact cooling water discharges 002, 003, and 004 (004 has been in existence, but was not used
as non contact cooling. It will be used as such with our new expansion) be changed to a General
Wastewater Discharge Permit, along with our already existing General Stormwater Permit No.
NCG030499. Discharge 002, 003, and 004 are pre-existing discharges presently in use at this
facility. Attached is a completed Notice of Intent.
Sincerely,
