Inspection Summary:
on September 12, 2018 this facility was inspected for compliance. I met with Adam Davis on site. No issues were observed
during the inspection. It was discussed that the fire prevention pond in front of the facility is pumped out periodically. As long
as the release of that water does not result in the discharge of pollutants gathered in the basin, the only other concern which
requires monitoring, is erosion at the outlet.

Inspection bate: 09/14/2010 Inspection Type: Stormwater Reason for Visit: Follow-up
Inspection Summary:
Follow up to observe improvements Milliken made to outfalls. Facility did a nice job repairing the SDO
ditchlines/ephemeral channels.
All petroleum product had been removed from outfall #4.
Dam was removed from stream and streambank were reformed and matted for stabilization. I told Adam Davis the matting
used should be removed next spring, once the streambank begins to stabilize with foliage. Matting used was plastic which
impinges amphibians and reptiles that live in the riparian area. I also told Mr.Davis he could use live stakes to speed the
stabilization of the streambanks.

RE: Response to Compliance Inspection Report
Milliken & Company — Hatch Plant
Permit No.: NCG170068
Dear Ms. Wiggs:
M1 �
I,
Milliken & Company ("Milliken") has received and reviewed your Compliance Inspection Report
dated March 5, 2010 that we received on March 9, 2010. As requested, this letter is being submitted
within 45 days to describe our proposed remediation plans for the issues noted in the report.
1. Erosion at Stormwater Dischary
ge Outfalls #1-and #2
Rip rap will be placed at these outfalls to prevent additional erosion.
2. Erosion at Stormwater Dischar e Outfall #3
The length of the current ditch will be graded and then stabilized using erosion control fabric and
rip rap. The rip rap will also slow the velocity of the storm water as it travels down the hill,
making erosion less likely in the future.
3. Petroleum Product at Stormwater Discharge Outfall #4
Milliken has determined that the pipe identified as Outfall 94 in the facility storm water plan is
actually an abandoned steam condensate drain line that originates near the #6 fuel oil tanks. The
line has been out of service since 1996, when the use of fuel oil was discontinued. It is likely that
the petroleum product found in the vicinity of "Outfall #4" is fuel oil that leaked into the steam
lines used to heat the fuel oil when it was still in use. The oil was carried to the contaminated area
along with the stream condensate, where it solidified upon cooling. The berzned basin area noted
w,.
Milliken & Company, P. O. Box 1926, Spartanburg, S.C. 29304-1926
Telephone: [phone]

in your report appears to have been built as a contingency to trap fuel oil in the event of such an
occurrence, in the manner of an oil -water separator. Because of the extremely viscous nature of #6
fuel oil at ambient temperatures, and because of the design of the benned area, we do not believe
that #6 fuel oil was released to a stream. There is no evidence of petroleum contamination outside
of the berned basin.
Milliken has removed all contaminated materials, including soil and water, from the area. The
contaminated materials will be transported to appropriate waste disposal facility for incineration or
treatment. The pit has been filled in and the site covered with erosion control materials.
4. Streambank Erosion at Old Dam
Milliken has determined that the old dam described in inspection report, though formerly owned by
Milliken & Company, is now owned by Pacolet Milliken Enterprises ("Pacolet"), a real estate
management company operated separately from Milliken & Company. Milliken has discussed the
findings from your'inspection with representatives from Pacolet and they have begun investigating
potential actions to remedy the stream bank erosion. Due to the complexity associated with the
removal or construction of dams, this investigation is still underway, and a specific remedial action
cannot be proposed prior to the due date of this response. Milliken and Pacolet will, however,
provide additional details and proposed actions in the future, upon request by the Department.
If you have any questions, or need any additional information, please call me at [phone].

SUBJECT: NPDES Stormwater Permit Compliance Inspection

Dear Mr- Slusher:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
A NPDES Stormwater Permit Compliance Inspection was conducted on February 11, 2010 at the
Milliken and Company -Hatch Plant in Polk Cattnty NC. Present during the inspection was Adam
Davis. A Division of Water Quality (DWQ) file review indicates this to be the first inspection of
the Milliken facility in Polk County, The facility was found to be in compliance with permit
NCG170068, however, the following observations and recommendations need to be addressed by
the facility.
Stormwater Discharee Outfalls
Qualitative Monitoring at Stormwater Discharge Outfalls (SDO) is a permit requirement that is a
useful tool for industries to visually evaluate if impacts to the environment are occurring from their
facility. Two discharge characteristics: oil sheen and erosion at outfall, should have been noted at
the Milliken facility SDOs. Four SDOs were observed during the inspection. SDO #1 and #2 have
minor erosion occurring at their outfalls. The placement of some filter cloth and riprap should help
to avoid further erosion by dissipating the energy from the stormwater flows. SDO #3 has
significant erosion at the outfall. The prolonged erosion has created a deep gully in the ephemeral
channel (ditch) to the receiving stream. This eroded channel needs to be repaired to a stable
channel- SDO ##4 had petroleum product solidified in a bermed basin area as well as product
evident on standing water. This contaminated bermed area needs to be remediated. The source of
this product also needs to be identified and ceased.
Stream Impacts
In the west stream adjacent to the Milliken facility an old dam has breached causing streambank
erosion. The remnants of the dam need to be removed from the channel and the streambanks need
restoration and stabilization.

Permit: NCG170068 Owner - Facility: Milliken and Co
Inspection Date: 02/1112010 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
No other inspections were found in database or files, this appears to be the first inspection of facility.
Met with Adam Davis to conduct inspection. No vehicle maintenance is performed at facility, no analytical monitoring is
required. Documents are in good order, currently Mr. Davis is updating documents.
Qualitative monitoring is performed, however needs improvement. Qualitative monitoring is a useful tool to indicate
problems occurring onsite; at the facility, at the outfall, and/or at the transitional area of land between outfall and
waterbody (ie.usually a ditchline/ephemeral channel). This facility's qualitative monitoring should have indicated "oil
sheen" at outfall #4 and "erosion at outfall" for outfalls #1,#2,#3.
Outfall #1 & #2 does have minor erosion at outfall and needs rocks placed at outfall to disperse energy and avoid further
erosion.
Outfall #3 releases to a significant erosion gully. This outfall's ditchline needs to be fixed. The ditchline between the
outfall and creek has become a deep gully that will continue to get worse and is likely sending a sediment load to
receiving stream. The gully needs to be repaired, properly armored and repaired with clean fill, to create a suitable/stable
ditchline.
Outfall #4 appears to be the outfall location of some piping from the above ground storage tanks containment area,
qualitative monitoring should have noted oil sheen here. The above ground storage tanks are no longer in use, but
stored #6 fuel. There is still minimal amounts of #6 remaining in tanks. The tanks are housed in a secondary
containment area that has a gravel bottom which could be a concern if there is a discrete under drain system.
To the SISW of the #6 fuel tank storage area (outfall#4) is a bermedlbasin area that had solidified #6 fuel in it and
petroleum residue evident on standing water. The berm/basin has what appeared to be an outlet pipe that could release
the product to the wooded area and Flow to the nearby creek. Fortunately, there was no recent evidence of any fuel
beyond the berm/basin by overland flows to the creek. The source of the solidified and residual petroleum product in the
berm/basin area needs to be identified and remediated. A feasibility study (remediation plan) needs to be evaluated at
the facility to remediate the petroleum product currently in the berm/basin and to avoid future releases. Milliken shall
report to DWQ their plans to remediate this situation.
The Milliken facility use to pipe water from the nearby creek (west of building) to their reservoir. A dam was associated
with this piping system. The dam has breached and facility is no longer piping water to reservoir. The dam failure location
is causing instream impacts, primarily to the streambanks. The remnants of the dam that remain in the stream channel
need to be removed. This area of the stream needs to be restored; the facilities old dam has caused sediment loads to
the stream as well as damage to the channel and streambanks. Since Milliken/(Pacolet Land Co) owns most of this
watershed and other adjacent watersheds, this'site lends itself as being a potentially good site for EEP mitigation funds if
any become available.

Comment: No significant spills in last 3 years. Feasibility not previously needed.
However, a feasibility study or remediation plan of action needs to be undertaken by
facility in relation to the storage tanks and product at SD0#4', Storage tanks use to
hold #6 fuel but are no longer in use. Secondary containment (concrete wall) is sufficient

Dear Mr. Stoner:

Stormwater Permit Modification -

Polk County
r ri)
On December 23, 1996 I received your modified Notice of Intent and request for the
Certificate of Coverage (NCG170068) which Milliken holds for stormwater discharges from the
Hatch Plant. The cover letter explained that Milliken had modified the decorative pond in front of
the plant such that only stormwater was discharging from that pond (the pond had previously
contained cooling water and discharged under the provisions of NCG500028, a wastewater
general permit). You requested that the stormwater permit coverage be amended to included the
pond discharge.
After review of your request and discussion with you concerning the nature and location of
this additional stormwater discharge, we have determined that the additional discharge will not
require modification of the certification. Your request and explanation will be added to your permit
file. You should, however, modify your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan in the appropriate
sections to reflect these changes in discharges.
If you have questions concerning this matter, please contact me (919 f 733-5083 ext. 548).
