On June 11, 2013, Sara Knies from the Raleigh Regional Office (RRO) of the Division of Water Quality
(DWQ) conducted a site inspection for the business known as Jarden Home Brands in Nash County,
North Carolina. The subject business is authorized under the General Permit No. NCG210000 for the
discharge of stonmwater. This authorized discharge of stormwater is to receiving waters designated as an
unnamed tributary to Little Turkey Creek, Class C, Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NCSW) in the Tar -
Pamlico River Basin. The assistance of Wayne Butler, Plant Manager, was appreciated and facilitated
the inspection process.
The following items were noted during the DWQ inspection.
A SPPP (Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan) was on site. The SPPP included a general
location (USGS) map, detailed site map, evaluation of feasible altematives, a Preventative and
Good Housekeeping Plan, a list of Responsible Parties, and a Stormwater Facility Inspection
Program. All documentation in the SWPP was dated 2010. All parts of the SPPP should be
reviewed and updated as needed on an annual basis; documentation should always reflect
the current year. Please ensure copies of employee training and documentation of Good
Housekeeping Practices are kept with the SPPP.
2. A SPRP (Spill Prevention and Response Procedures) plan was on site. The SPRP was signed by
a list of responsible parties, and included a table of all on site BMP's (Best Management
Practices) and on site secondary containment. There was no documentation or initialing on the
list of significant spills. All documentation in the SPRP was dated 2010. The SPRP needs to be
updated on an annual basis. BNIP's and secondary containment listed in the SPRP should

The following items were noted during the DWQ inspection.
A SPPP (Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan) was on site. The SPPP included a general
location (USGS) map, detailed site map, evaluation of feasible alternatives, a Preventative and

be reviewed and updated to reflect current containment and practices at plant for
respective year. If no significant spills occur during current calendar year, spill list must
reflect absence of spills, and be signed and dated. All documentation should reflect the
current year.
3. Mr. Butler stated that the subject facility does not retain exposed piles of sawdust, wood chips,
bark, mulch, or other similar material on site for more than seven (7) days, and therefore
analytical monitoring is not being conducted. A facility that is exempt from analytical
monitoring on this basis of removing material in seven (7) days or less shall keep in its
SPPP a record of dates when the material is generated and removed, and how/by whom it
was removed.
4. Qualitative records were available and complete starting from permit monitoring schedule Year
2, Period 2; monitoring should have commenced Year 2, Period 1. Qualitative monitoring
requirements need to continue per permit requirements even when plant experiences brief
periods of inactivity. No notification to DWQ of plant shut down is necessary.
5. Outfalls were designated on facility site map as DSN-01, DSN-02, DSN-03, and DSN-04
respectively.
a) DSN-01 drains approximately 0.5 acres, with the upstream outfall footprint containing a
trash compactor, and diesel/kerosene AST (aboveground storage tanks). The trash
compactor was in good condition, and AST have proper secondary containment that
appeared to be functioning properly. No illicit discharges or contaminated discharge was
observed at DSN-01.
b) DSN-02 drains approximately 2.0 acres, with the upstream outfall footprint containing
wax storage cars, diesel AST, scrap metal, and empty 55 gallon drums. It was confirmed
that scrap metal does not have any residue or fluid on it that would contaminate
stormwater. The 55 gallons drums are empty and diesel AST have secondary containment
that appeared to be functioning properly. Mr. Butler explained the secondary
containment for wax storage cars 5 and 6 fill with rainwater and need to be pumped out
on an in frequent basis. There is the possibility of wax product being present in
secondary containment. Mr. Butler stated a filter is fitted over the end of a hose which
allows rainwater to be pumped out from containment, but isolates the wax, which is
returned to wax storage cars. No illicit discharges or contaminated discharge was
observed at DSN-02.
• Per permit Section A.2.b: If the secondary containment devices are connected
directly to stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be controlled by
manually activated valves or other similar devices, and any stormwater that
accumulates in the containment area shall be at a minimum visually observed for
color, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release
of the accumulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if
found to be uncontaminated by the material stored within the containment area.
Records documenting the individual making the observation, the description of
the accumulated stormwater, and the date and time of the release shall be kept for
a period of five years. Please ensure that as of inspection date, records are
being maintained for each instance where a direct connection between the
wax storage cars secondary containment and the stormwater conveyance
systems is being created by the manual pumping and discharge of
accumulated rainwater.

NCG210385
c) DSN-03 drains approximately 1 acre, with the upstream footprint containing the saw dust
system. The saw dust system was tidy, and no saw dust was observed at the outfall. Mr.
Butler stated that if any saw dust product accumulates in the drainage ditch upstream of
the outfall, it is removed before it can discharge to the outfall and off site. No illicit
discharges or contaminated discharge was observed at DSN-03.
d) DSN-04 drains approximately I acre, with the upstream footprint containing the mixing
area. Equipment in the mUing area discharges a small volume of condensate as a by-
product; this discharge has the ability to come in contact with any product or residue in
the area, and discharge to DSN-04. During the inspection, a sheen and discoloration was
noted on pavement adjacent to the mixing area. No illicit discharges or contaminated
discharge was observed at DSN-04.
<i,
Mixing area discoloration noted on pavement adjacent
to mixing area.
Please consider how the facility can ensure no contaminated product is discharging
off site. At a minimum, this area should be inspected and cleaned on a routine basis
to ensure all residues and other products are removed and properly disposed of,
eliminating the possibility of an illicit discharge. Any time a sheen or discoloration is
noted on discharge, absorbent should be used to prevent loss of contaminants.

The following is a list of major issues noted during the SWPPP/SPCC site investigations:
Diesel Tanks — Single Walled No Secondary Containm ent (40 CFR 112.8 (c)(2))
• Sacramento, CA —The Active diesel AST is single walled and secondary containment is
required so that the engineer can cert� the SPCC Plan).
• Fairfield, AL — The secondary containment is currently under construction. The site
manager has been provided requirements for the construction of this containment,
/DieseFTan6s =Secondary Containment�eeds coatings to make impervious (40CFR=112:8 -^
��•�Spring:Hope--NE'— The Facility Manager has been told about the need of adding a
impervious coating to the concrete containments. We can forward him the specs for the
coating material.
Diesel Tanks -Need16cks_(CFR.-1'l2:7-'(g)))
This is part of the security requirements in the regulation. The fills and vents of the diesel and
wax ASTs should be equipped with locks.
• Sacramento, CA
�Kitchener,

• Greenville, TX
• _+S pri rig-Hope,'.NCt
Diesel Tanks — Not Used, Need to be Removed (Not regulatory requirement, but as a BMA it is
advised so that they are not filled accidentally and result in on unwanted release. Also, one has
no containment and the other's is insufficient and full of water. If these tanks are removed froth
the site they will not have to be incorporated into the plan. The Plans are written as though they
are not there).
• Kitchener, Ontario (2 ASTs)
Underground Pipes - no corrosion protection, the pipes should be periodically tested for
integrity or replaced w/ cathodically protected underground piping (CFR I12.8(d))
• Sacramento, CA
j Secondary containment pallets need to be obtained to store all 55-gallondrums at the sites.
I j These pallets need to be able to contain 110% of the capacity of the largest container, which it
holds (usually a 55-gallon drum).

Non-stormwater discharges noted included, boiler blowdown, wastewater discharge
from the candle melting tanks, steam from the wax rail car heating system. It is
recommended that alterations be made to prevent all non-stormwater discharges from
being released into the stormwater drainage system. This could be done is by placing a
containment around the discharges that allows the water to evaporate so the water does
not come in contact with stormwater. The non-stormwater discharges from around the
wax rail cars can be prevented by plugging up the holes in the containment walls.
NC: If this can not be done, Jarden will need to obtain a General Permit for Non -contact
Wastewater Discharges from the NCDENR (7VCG500000)..NC allows commingled
wastewater and stormwater discharges provided both a Wastewater General Permit and
Stormwater General Permit are obtained. The current IVCG500000 Permit expires on
July 31, 2007.
u
• Sacramento, CA
Non-stormwater discharge is not allowed to be released into the stormwater drainage
system. This could be done is by placing a containment around the discharges that
allows the water to evaporate so the water does not come in contact with stormwater, The
Sacramento Stormwater Ordinance does not allow any non-stormwater discharges into
the stormwater drainage system. The link to the Sacramento ordinances is:

General Housekeeping Issues
Sacramento, CA — There are several areas on the exterior of the building that are covered
in the wax/saw dust mixture (from being tracked by various pieces of equipment) on
various paved areas of the Property, The wax needs to be cleaned up so that the
stormwater runoff is not impacted and also measures should be taken to prevent further
tracking of the wax outside the building.
Kitchener, ON — Hundreds of 55-gallon drums of scrap wax are being stored outdoors
without any containment. The scrap wax is supposedly usable; however, the number of
drums of scrap wax being stored outside has not decreased since our 2006 visit). Several
of these drums were noted to be uncov tied and full of wax and rainwater. There are also
several 55-gallon drums of ethylene glycol stored inside and outside. Mr. Khan noted
they are no longer used; therefore, proper arrangements should be made for disposal.

RE: NOV - Discharges Without Valid Permit(s)
Jarden Home Brands, 1000 Barbee Street, Spring Hope, NC 27882-123
Dear Mr. Smith:
In response to the above -referenced Notice of Violation (NOV) issued to the Jarden
Home Brands (Jarden) Firelog facility in Spring Hope, North Carolina, dated November
28, 2007, Cody Ehlers Group (CEG), on behalf of Jarden, has prepared the following
response to notify the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NC DWQ) of the
actions that are being taken at the Jarden facility to correct the violations that were
identified.
Issue #1: The facility manufactures fire logs, the raw products for which are sawdust,
wax and molasses. It was established during the site visit that there currently are no
DWQ issued stormwater or wastewater NPDES discharge permits for the facility.
However, there were several discharges at the facility that must be permitted in
accordance with NC General Statute 143-215.1, Control of Sources of Water Pollution;
Permits Required, unless the discharges are eliminated. Such discharges could
negatively impact receiving waters. The identified discharges are listed below:
a. Industrial Stormwater Runoff: There are many materials at the site in addition to
saw dust, wax and molasses that are exposed to stormwater. There is a
considerable amount of equipment and materials stored outside on the east side of
the facility. This equipment and material should be carefully examined to assess
its potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. Such items should be stored inside
a building or covered with removable covers. It appears as though the majority of
runoff exposed to industrial activity flows off site to a pond located on the
southeast corner of the site.
Response: Materials being stored in this area at the time of the inspection included
unused transmissions and scrap metal. The transmissions have been moved to a
covered canopy on the north side of the warehouse and covered with a tarp. Jarden
will be arranging to have these transmissions to be removed from the site in the near
future. The scrap metal originates from work conducted inside the facility. It has not
been exposed to any petroleum or chemical products. Therefore, it is not likely to
contaminate stormwater runoff at the facility.

Mr. Danny Smith

b. Wax Melter: The wax melter has a condensate discharge as well as a minor leakage
discharge that flows southeast from the wax melter through an earthen storm
drainage conveyance and into the pond on the southeast corner of the site. This
discharge combines with the boiler blowdown and stormwater discharges before
flowing to the pond. This discharge could be eliminated to prevent the need for a
permit or redirected to the city's sanitary sewer system, with their approval.
Response: There was a minor crack in one of the wax melter tanks that was welded
and repaired on December 15, 2007. This has stopped the minor leakage noted
during the inspection. Condensate is only discharged from the wax melter tanks
when they are in use (currently only a few days each year). The discharge is
controlled with a manual valve and will be delivered into the evaporator vessel
discussed below (in item c) located between the boiler room and the wax pumps.
Jarden will not discharge any condensate from the wax melter tank prior to the
completion of the wastewater collection tank installation (see Response c, below for
additional information on the evaporator tank).
c. Boiler: The boiler blowdown is discharged from a small pipe that penetrates the
exterior wall of the building and then combines with the wax melter and
stormwater discharges in the earthen storm drainage conveyance before flowing to
the pond.
Response: Jarden is installing a dedicated 1,500-gallon stainless steel evaporator
vessel. Boiler blowdown will be directly piped to this unit. It is anticipated that this
system will be operational by January 15, 2008.
d. Extruder Coolant: The extruder coolant is discharged via a large pipe that daylights
near the southern edge of the property. It then flows into a stormwater conveyance
that carries it to the pond located on the southeast corner of the facility. It appears
as though this discharge also combines with the stormwater, wax melter and boiler
blowdown discharges before flowing into the pond.
Response: Extruder coolant is only discharged during the summer months, since the
extruding process does not need to be cooled during winter months. The discharge
pipe, referenced in the NOV letter, has been disconnected. In the future, any extruder
coolant that is generated will be collected and manually added to the wastewater
evaporator vessel.

Issue #2: You must immediately apply for permits needed to cover the above listed
discharges.
Response: This issue (non -permitted wastewater discharges) is no longer applicable
to facility operations. As explained previously in this letter, Jarden has successfully
contained or eliminated all three non-stormwater discharges (Wax Melter Condensate
and Leak, Boiler Blowdown, and Extruder Coolant Water).
It was recommended by NCDWQ that Jarden apply for the General Stormwater
Permit for Food and Kindred Products (General Permit NCG060000). However, it is
our opinion that the most appropriate SIC Code applicable for the facility is 2499
(Timber Products, Not Elsewhere Classified). On December 19, 2007, CEG spoke with
Bethany Georgoulias, Environmental Engineer in the NCDENR Stormwater
Permitting Unit. Ms. Georgoulias agreed that General Permit NCG210000 would be
the correct permit based on the Jarden facility's SIC code. A copy of the NOI
submitted to NCDENR is attached.
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or require any additional
information at [phone].
