Dear Mrs. Cantwell, As a follow-up to our conversation yesterday May 26, 2015, the events of the non -contact cooling .water spill are as . follows: Dave Haack; Director of Engineering,:became aware of the issue Friday -afternoon May 22, 2015 by Gwen Snipes, the after hours fechnicia.n on. duty. -In talking with Mrs. Snipes; it was determined that the overflow alarm -was sounding - due to the water level in the non-contact`cooling water tank getting too high.'To prevent the alarm from going off repeatedly, the technician went to the'outside port of the cooling water tank and released the water onto'a gravel driveway between the building and the ditch. Mr. -Haack became aware that the technician had released water from the tank ondifferent occasions -(dates and times unknown), so that the overflow alarm would not continuously be sounded. Mr. Haack was also made aware that the technician did not know that the water in the tank contained chemicals to prevent slime, rust and buildup. 'Mr. Haack immediately notified her that the non -contact cooling water does in fact contain chericals and should never be released, to the outside. He showed. Mrs. Snipes the correct valve to use which releases the overflow water to the. sewer system. Due to the overflow, alarm issues and after talking with the technicican, Mr. Haack had our Maintenance Department inspect the tank and valves. Maintenance determined that the level switch sensor was working intermittently due to buildup, which was causing the water level in the tank at certain- times to be too high and cause the alarm. The level.sensor has been cleaned and is now working properly. The water was discharged to a ditch with a very slight grade to another ditch, which feeds -an un-named tributary to King's.Creek. The approximate linear travel distance from the point of release to the creek is 1400 feet. The total volume of cooling water in.our system is 3,700 gallons, including approximately 3,000 gallons in the outside storage tank, 400 gallons in transfer piping, and 300 gallons in the furnace piping. The chemicals that are added to the cooling water tank are.C965L and S100L..The C965L is a scale inhibitor which is added at about 8-10 ppm'and the S100L is a biocide.that is added at about'S ppm. The chemicals.are kept.onsite and are added to the cooling water . tank by.automaticpumps. Specific ingredients of each added chemical are attached as MSDS's. Also attached is a: copy of the most recent report.by Cascasde Water'Services, who tests and checks water levels in the tank. The report shows the conductivity, pH; alkalinity; chloride, hardness and phosphate content of the cooling water. Further measures beingAakew. • All techincians that respond to internal alarms have been made aware.that the cooling water contains chemicals that are not to be released to the ditch outside, • All techicians have been notified.whicb valve to open in the case of an overflow alarm so that the overflow water is directed to the sewer system. • A notice has been posted at the cooling.water control panel that chemicals are used in the water.

The plant appears to be well maintained, clean and operating properly. The Plant was not discharging, from either outfall, at the time of the inspection. Plant records are in good condition with at least 3 years available. The inspectors recommend that the Plant establish, by written policy, the Upstream, 2 Effluent and Downstream sampling sites, this will be helpful during future inspections. The inspectors do recommend that the Plant use a Downstream site across Shephard Street from the Plant, that is safe and accessible. Thanks to Ms. Kim Melvin for her assistance during the inspection.

Page 2 CORPORATION Mrs. Janet Cantwell - NC DENR- Division of Water Quality 2090 U.S. 70 Highway Swannanoa, NC28778 Dear Mrs. Cantwell, As a follow-up to our conversation yesterday May 26, 2015, the events of the non -contact cooling water spill are as foalows: Dave Haack, Director of Engineering, became aware of the issue Friday afternoon May 22, 2015 by Gwen Snipes, the after hours technician on duty. In talking with Mrs. Snipes, it was determined that the overflow alarm was sounding due to the water level in the non -contact cooling water tank getting too high. To prevent the alarm from going off repeatedly, the technician' went to the outside port of the cooling water tank and released the water on to a gravel driveway between the building and the ditch. Mr. Haack became aware that the technician had released water from the flank on different occasions (dates and times unknown); so that the overflow alarm would not continuously be sounded. Mr. Haack was also made aware that the technician did not. know that the water in the tank contained chemicals to prevent slime, rust and buildup, Mr. Haack immediately notified her that the non -contact cooling water does in fact contain chemicals and should never be released,to`the outside. He showed Mrs. Snipes the correct valve to use. which releases the overflow water to the sewer system. Due to the overflow alarm issues and after talking with the technicican, Mr. Haack had our Maintenance Department inspect the tank and valves. Maintenance determined that the level switch sensor was working intermittently due to buildup, which was causing the water level in the tank at certain times to be too high and cause the alarm, The level sensor has been cleaned and is now working properly. - The water was discharged to a ditch with a very slight grade to another ditch, which feeds an un-named tributary to King's Creek. The approximate linear travel distance from the point of release to the creek is 1400 feet. The total volume of cooling water in our system is 3,700-gallons, including approximately 3,000 gallons in the outside storage tank, 400 gallons in transfer piping, and 300 gallons in the furnace piping. The chemicals that are added to the cooling water tank are C965'L and S100L. The C965L is a .scale inhibitor which is added at about 8-10 pprn and the S100L is a biocide that is added at about 5 ppm. The chemicals are kept onsite and are added to the cooling water tank. by automatic pumps. Specific ingredients of each added chemical are attached as. MSDS's. Also attached is a copy of the most recent report by Cascasde Water Services, who tests and checks water levels in the tank. The report shows the conductivity, pH,. alkalinity, chloride, hardness and phosphate content of the cooling water. Further measures being. taken: All techincians that respond to internal alarms have been made aware that the cooling water contains. chemicals that are not to be released to the ditch outside. ® All techicians have been notifiedwhich valve to open in the case of an overflow alarm so that the overflow water is directed to the.sewer system.

In accordance with NPDES regulations at § 122.45, allowing detection of a pollutant: Instances could arise where the combination of process and non -process wastewaters result in dilution of a pollutant of concern such that it would not be detectable using approved analytical methods. Internal monitoring would enable characterization of the pollutant before dilution with other wastewaters. 4. The upstream location for the natural water temperature shall be interpreted as the influent to the penstock or other appropriate location in the impounded waterbody. Effluent is the outflow from the powerhouse. The temperature change between these two values is considered the heat added and judged for compliance with Note 1 of the permit and 15A NCAC 2H.0211 0). SECTION C. APPLICABILITY This permit is applicable to the following types of discharges defined below: 1. Non -contact cooling water and open recirculation cooling water systems used in industrial processes for the sole purpose of cooling machinery and other equipment. Non -contact cooling water is defined as water used for cooling which does not come into direct contact with any raw material, intermediate product, waste product or finished product. Contact cooling water is defined as cooling water that comes into contact with raw material, intermediate product, finished product, byproduct or waste product. Open recirculating cooling water systems, continuously reuse the cooling water which passes through the heat transfer equipment. Open recirculating cooling water system discharges to a Water Supply water body may require an individual NPDES permit. Contact cooling water discharges require an individual NPDES permit. 2. Condensate wastewater from atmospheric cooling systems. Page 5 of 6 8/1/2012 General Permit NCG500000 3. Blowdown wastewaters. Blowdown is defined as the minimum discharge of recirculating water for the purpose of discharging materials contained in the water, the further buildup of which would cause concentration in amounts exceeding limits established by best engineering practice. 4. Exempt stormwater, which is defined as discharges of stormwater which do not require permits under the state or Federal NPDES programs. Exempt stormwater includes stormwater which accumulates in outdoor basins or ponds designed for cooling water or other waters covered by this permit. 5. Water associated with hydroelectric power facilities, including cooling waters, waters from sumps and drains, dam seepage and exempt stormwater. 6. Other similar wastewaters which may qualify for coverage under this General Permit. SECTION D.

This permit expires on July 31, 2002. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) staff is in the process of rewriting this permit with a scheduled reissue in the summer of 2002. Once the permit is reissued, your facility would be eligible for continued coverage under the reissued permit. In order to assure your continued coverage under the general permit, you must apply to the DWQ for renewal of your permit coverage. To make this renewal process easier, we are informing you in advance that your permit coverage will be expiring. Enclosed you will find a general permit coverage renewal application form. This will serve as your application for renewal of your permit coverage. The application must be completed and returned with the required information by February 01, 2002 in order to assure continued coverage under the general permit. There is no renewal fee associated with this process. Your facility will be invoiced for the annual permit fee at a later date. Failure to request renewal within this time period may result in a civil assessment o at least $250.00. Larger penalties may be assessed depending on the delinquency of the request. Discharge of wastewater from your facility without coverage under a valid wastewater NPDES permit would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and could result in assessments of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day. If the subject wastewater discharge to waters of the state has been terminated, please complete the enclosed rescission request form. Mailing instructions are listed on the bottom of the form. You will be notified when the rescission process has been completed. If you have any questions regarding the permit coverage renewal procedures please contact the Asheville Regional Office at 828-251-6208 or Delonda Alexander of the Central Office Stormwater Unit at (919) 733-5083, ext. 584 Sincerely, i 7- Bradley Bennett, Supervisor Stormwater and General Permits Unit cc: Central Files Stormwater and General Permits Unit Files Asheville Regional Office 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Telephone 919-733-5083 FAX 919-733-9919 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/ 10% post -consumer paper NCDENR North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Water Quality Michael F.

All items discussed below have been documented in SELEE's "Walk -About" system for continuous improvement. As such, each action item is assigned to a person or team, and progress has been tracked through daily or weekly meetings. Actions taken within the first week of becoming aware of the release: • All technicians that respond to internal alarms were made aware that the non -contact cooling water contains chemicals that are not to be released to the ground. • All technicians that respond to internal alarms have been retrained on the proper valve to be opened in the event of an overflow to ensure the water is directed to the sewer system. • A notice was posted at the non -contact cooling water control panel and on the tank itself, stating that the water contains chemicals and may not be released to the ground. Photo attached. • The valve on the non -contact cooling water tank has been locked out/tagged out as well as glued closed. The tag states that maintenance should be contacted before removing the lock or attempting to open the valve. Photo attached. Actions taken within the second week of becoming aware of the release: • New fail-safe closed valves were ordered to replace the current directional valves on the incoming and outgoing lines (Work Order # 15810 tracked the SELEE maintenance system). • Spill procedures were reviewed at the plant -wide Communications meeting and all employees were made aware of the unauthorized release. p®rva i r Pic 700 Shepherd Street, Hendersonville, NC 28792 USA +1 (828) 697-2411 (800) 438-7274 Fax: +1 (828) 693-1868 Mr. Steve Lewis July 29, 2015 Page 2 of 3 Additional actions: , • New fail-safe closed valves (referenced above) have now been installed. Copy of Work Order attached. • Comprehensive training for all employees will be held in August 2015 to discuss the following: o potential impacts of the non -contact cooling water release on the environment; o proper procedure for handling and reporting chemical spills in accordance with our NPDES permit and Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan; and o proper storage, handling and disposal of all SELEE materials. SELEE Corporation is committed to not only preventing a future discharge of non -contact cooling water, but any other unauthorized release of.materials stored and handled at our site. As an ISO 9001 certified plant, SELEE holds continuous improvement as a core value and has used this experience as an opportunity to error -proof other aspects of our potential impact on the environment. Continued compliance with regulations and requirements is a fundamental commitment of SELEE Corporation's Quality, Environmental and Safety Policy. Prompt abating of environmental damage: It should be noted that no actual environmental damage is believed to have occurred as a result of this release. There is no evidence of damage to vegetative or aquatic life in the area. The cooling water was released to the ground along the back side of the plant in a large, flat, gravel area where the water pooled up and eventually made its way to the ditch which has a very slight grade (Google Earth shows an elevation of 2104 feet with no measurable grade for the first 460 feet from discharge point). The linear distance from the release point to the closest waterway is 1,400 feet. This information is presented to explain that no abating of environmental damage was deemed necessary. We thank you for considering this request for remission for the civil penalty being assessed. Please contact Alesia Griesmyer at agreismyer@selee.com (828) 694-3340, Gerald Rice at Brice@selee.com (828) 694-3335, or myself at mmorse@selee.com (828) 694-3322 if any additional information is required.

Any chemical spill needs to be contained to prevent environmental contamination outside the SELEE facility. 1.2.1 A typical hazardous material incident might involve a leak or spill of a solid, liquid or gas, -which is toxic, corrosive or a pollutant. 1.2.2 Non -Hazardous Materials. . 1.2.2.1. The majority of materials at SELEE are not considered hazardous. The materials are stored inside the manufacturing facility to prevent any contact with the outside environment in case of a spill or emergency. In most cases, the dry powders can be disposed of All immediately -in trash or reused if clean. Any liquids can- be washed into the SELEE waste drainage system, which goes -to the employees basement for treatment (adjustment of pH and removal of solids). This does not apply to non production chemicals such as cleaning compounds. A complete description of how this process works in Procedures 9520-01, Environmental Control and 9520-03 Alar Treatment.
