Landon Davidson, P.G., Regional Supervisor water oua Reglonaloperenprq Water Quality Regional Operations Section Mille Re lonaloffioe Asheville Regional Office Division of Water Resources, NCDEQ 2090 U.S. 70 Highway Swannanoa, NC 28778 Dear Mr. Lewis and Mr. Davidson: Pursuant to your letter dated March 29, 2018 regarding the "Notice of Violation and Assessment of Civil Penalty for Violations of North Carolina General Statute (G.S.) 143- 215.1(a) Low& Bonar Inc. — 1301 Sand Hill Road Case No. DV-2018-0012 Buncombe County', Low& Bonar Inc. hereby requests remission or mitigation for the assessed penalty of$82,222.97. Attached are the Request for Remission of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulations of Facts Form and the Justification for Remission Request Form. Our detailed justification and pleading is contained in the body of this letter. t DETAILS OF JUSTIFICATION FOR REMISSION REQUEST As to our pleading for remission: For Factor (1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in the N.C.G.S. 14313-282.1(b)were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner; Eight sub-factors are considered and set forth from G.S. 143B-282.1(b): Sub-Factor (1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to public health, or to private property resulting from the violation; Sub-Factor (2) The duration and gravity of the violation; Sub-Factor (3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality; Sub-Factor (4) The cost of rectifying the damage; Sub-Factor (5) The amount of money saved by the noncompliance; Sub-Factor (6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally; Sub-Factor(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and Sub-Factor (8) The cost to the state of the enforcement procedures. Low& Boner Inc. (L&B) will address each factor one by one below for consideration: Sub-Factor (1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to public health, or to private property resulting from the violation; L&B Response: There were not any deleterious effects detected in the environment because of the permit rescission. To our knowledge, State Natural Resources, Public Health, and Private Property have not been impacted by this violation. Sub-Factor (2) The duration and gravity of the violation; L&B Response: While the duration appears to have been long, the impact to the environment for not having the permit has been unremarkable. The violation itself was a self-reporting action on the part of Low&Bonar Inc. due to its discovery in its initiative to become ISO 14001-2015 certified. 2 One of the ISO 14001 clauses §6.1.3 Compliance Obligations states that "The organization shall: a) determine and have access to the compliance obligations related to its environmental aspects; b) determine how these compliance obligations apply to the organization; c) take these compliance obligations into account when establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving its environmental management system. The organization shall maintain documented information of its compliance obligations." It was due to auditing our compliance obligations that this was detected and not due to environmental harm and intervention by DWQ Enforcement. Sub-Factor (3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality; L&B Response: From our engineering studies conducted by Pisgah Environmental Services and a retired L&B contract engineer, it is determined that approximately 29,500 gallons per day of ground water is infiltrating into our storm water system. We basically have a miniature stream flowing through our storm water system. This infiltration is positive displacement and not absorbing our non-contact cooling waters and chiller tower blowdowns. As far as surface water quality, as stated previously, there has not been any detriment to the environment. Linda Wiggs, Environmental Senior Specialist, from your office conducted a Site Survey with me, the engineers from Pisgah Environmental Services, and a retired facilities engineer from L&B on July 6, 2017. Ms. Wiggs was able to witness the discharge of the combined stream of ground water and purchased city water used for cooling into what L&B calls the East Ditch. It is also referred to in Pisgah's reports as the Unnamed Tributary To Hominy Creek. She was able to witness aquatic life, fish and minnows freely swimming about with normal vegetation on the ditch/stream banks. Air quality has not been impacted in any fashion due to discharging purchased city water. In fact L&B is in good standing with WNC Regional Air Quality as we are inspected every year as a Title V permit requirement. Sub-Factor (4) The cost of rectifying the damage; L&B Response: As L&B did not have any costs for remediation of environmental damage, because there was not any environmental damage, we can only describe the costs associated with fulfilling the requirements for reapplication for the NPDES permit to discharge Noncontact Cooling Waste Water. 3 In a meeting on June 23, 2017, with Landon Davidson, PG, Regional Supervisor for the Asheville Area; Linda Wiggs, Senior Environmental Specialist; Darlene Kucken, Environmental Specialist, Dan March, Principal of Pisgah Environmental Services; Wayne Merritt, Site Manager for L&B; and Steve Jenkins, CSP, REM, HSE Manager for L&B; a plan of action was discussed that entailed a directive from Mr. Davidson: (Paraphrased) "that for a permit application to go forward, a complete engineering survey of Low& Bonar Inc.'s waste stream sealed by a professional engineer would have to be conducted. We would have to have complete knowledge of L&B's waste lines." For this reason and to bring our discharge stream into one compliance point, Low& Bonar Inc. has spent to date in excess of$533,000 to get to where we could actually apply for a discharge permit. The breakout of this is $261,000 in hardware (e.g. pumps, piping, monitoring equipment, de-chlorination equipment, etc.), $170,000 in engineering and legal costs (e.g. waste water survey, mapping, drawings, water quality testing, report writing, permit application, legal review of work, etc.), and$102,000 in Labor and other expenses (e.g. asbestos removal and disposal from old piping, installation work for pumps and piping, electrical work for new monitoring and measuring equipment, etc.). Please note that since our General Permit Application was returned, and additional testing and calculations are required to be re-submitted for an Individual Permit, our costs have continued to accumulate. We estimate another$10,000 to $15,000 will be spent, which is not part of the $533,000 mentioned above. While there were no costs due to environmental damage, Low & Bonar Inc, has incurred significant costs of over a half million dollars to get to the point where we could apply for the permit. As mentioned previously, the costs are continuing to rise due to the General Permit Application being returned because of the Copper, Zinc, and Calcium Carbonate parameters. Please note that the cost figures mentioned above do not account for any of the Low & Bonar staff time that has accrued during the managing of this issue. Sub-Factor (5) The amount of money saved by the noncompliance; L&B Response; Based off of NC DEQ DWR fee schedule and the estimated costs of Quantative Tests required for the General Permit, if the testing were to be conducted by Pisgah Environmental Services, Low& Bonar Inc. estimates the total cost of the permit with testing included to be < $2500 per year. In the overall operation of this plant, this is a minute amount per year. Avoiding paying the annual permit fees and testing requirements was not the reason for rescinding the permit. 4 Sub-Factor(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally; L&B Response: The terminology willfully or intentionally would imply a deceptive motivation. Low& Boner Inc. did not intentionally or willfully operate without a permit. A Low & Boner employee believed that all process wastewater was being discharged to the Metropolitan Sewerage District. As Mr. Davidson indicated during our meeting on June 23, 2017 (paraphrased) "we (Low&Boner Inc.) need to know where all of our waste streams are coming from and where they discharge." This is where we think the disconnect was. It was a lack of knowledge of what the definition of wastewater was, as well as the locations of discharge points from all the equipment that use pass through purchased water for cooling. The engineering survey has corrected this, and the future ISO 14001 program will keep such misunderstandings from occurring again. Sub-Factor (7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and L&B Response: Low& Boner Inc. does not have any objective evidence that a Notice of Violation occurred due to non-compliance with environmental programs during the past 5 years. Sub-Factor (8) The cost to the state of the enforcement procedures. L&B Response: Low& Boner Inc. does realize that the state has incurred cost to investigate and process this Notice of Violation. This is something that we humbly apologize for. We are certainly willing to pay for the costs you have incurred due to this incident. We would ask that you please remember that we came to you as part of our due diligence for becoming ISO 14001 Certified. The state did not incur costs associated with having to track us down as a source of environmental degradation to the Hominy Creek/French Broad River Basin. We hope you will take our actions of Self-Reporting as an indicator that Low& Boner Inc. is on a path of environmental stewardship. We are working to improve ourselves and our environment. For Factor (2)whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation; L&B Response: As there was not any environmental damage that occurred due to the violation Low& Bonar Inc, worked diligently to fulfill the requirements that were given to us by Mr. Davidson and the DWQ on June 23, 2017 and follow-ups 5 by Ms. Wiggs regarding our testing parameters to get us to the point of submitting a permit application. Ourpermit application was filed on December 18, 2017 with the Department of Water Quality. Low & Bonar Inc. completed the following in 148 Days: a. A comprehensive engineering study of all our equipment, their water usage and discharge points. b. Drains for both Sanitary and Storm Water were physically identified, confirmed, and drawings updated. c. All relevant drain lines for Steam Condensate were re-directed with condensate pumps and return lines back to the boilers. d. All relevant drain lines for non-contact cooling water and cooling tower blow down were directed to one single compliance point—A small tank with a weir to monitor flow. e. A de-chlorination system was installed to lower the amount of chlorine in the non-contact cooling water to acceptable levels before leaving the plant. f. All roof drain discharge pipes were re-directed to the East ditch on Low& Boner Inc.'s property instead of contributing to the neighboring drain system to the North of our property line. g. A flow meter and weir system were installed at the flood gates prior to the East ditch. This aided in determining Ground Water infiltration rates. h. A comprehensive Ground Water infiltration study was conducted in conjunction with the engineering study. i. Requested reports and testing were submitted to DWQ in a timely manner depending on the parameters that were being analyzed. j. A permit application was submitted on December 18, 2017. From Low& Boner Inc.'s perspective, a lot of work and expense happened in 148 days. Today our expenses continue to rise as we sort out the returned General Permit Application and prepare an Individual Permit Application. 6 For Factor (3) whether the violation was inadvertent or result of an accident; L&B Response: As described in our answer to Factor(1) Sub-Factor(6) we believe rescinding the permit was done out of lack of knowledge of the water drainage system for the Low & Sonar Inc. site and the general terminology and definition of wastewater. From our perspective it was an inadvertent innocent mistake based off of incomprehension of the site and its discharges. For Factor(4)whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; L&B Response: To the best of our knowledge, other than this Notice of Violation's civil penalty, Low & Sonar Inc. has not been assessed any civil penalties for violations within the past five years. For Factor (5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions; L&B Response: While Low & Sonar Inc. is not having to remediate any environmental impacts caused by the rescission of its General Permit NCG500608, it has certainly incurred substantial costs with attempting to get another permit re-established. We did engineering and infrastructure work to substantially improve our processes to get us to the point where we applied for a 500000 series General Permit December 18, 2017. We were then notified March 23, 2018 that the General Permit application was being returned because our Copper, Zinc, and hardness (Calcium Carbonate) levels were beyond the allowable compliance parameters for a general permit. We now have performed more testing up-stream and down-stream and are preparing to re-submit for an Individual Permit. In the meantime we continue to incur testing costs, reporting costs, and re-application costs. Our focus going forward is to concentrate on the "E"portion of the NPDES permit—Reducing water consumption and eliminating the waste stream if at all possible. Instead of paying penalties, we would rather be investing in recirculation of chilled water systems that would help eliminate the once through use of city water and discharge to the Unnamed Tributary to Hominy Creek. Low & Sonar Inc. asks that DEQ consider its cooperation with DEQ and the extensive work done to address the matter in the last year, in evaluating this request for remission. Concluding Statements for Consideration: It is an unfortunate set of circumstances that have led to the issuance of the Notice of Violation Incident number 201701034. The lack of knowledge of site systems led to the rescission of permit number NCG500608 in late September of 2013, and it was the self- improvement journey of becoming ISO 14001 certified that led to the discovery that the permit had been rescinded in error. While I can understand your displeasure with the decision in 2013, 1 would ask you to evaluate the following: If Low & Bonar Inc. had not wanted to become a more responsible company by seeking ISO 14001 certification and had not a compliance obligations audit conducted by an independent environmental firm occurred, would we have ever discovered this problem? Please take under consideration we came to you in good faith with the disclosure that we had inadvertently rescinded the permit, and we wanted to get back into compliance and correctness with your department. Low & Bonar Inc. is on an environmental journey to proper stewardship. This will entail us to continually improve our Environmental Management System as dictated by the ISO 14001 Standard. Our Environmental Management System will prevent future mistakes such as this rescission from occurring. It will cause us to critically look at all aspects and impacts to make decisions for improving and reducing pollution, as well as for reducing uses of natural resources such as water. We have every intention of becoming ISO 14001 certified this year and proceeding on ourjourney for continual environmental improvement and stewardship. My intention is, in the not too distant future, to introduce the Asheville Site to the Environmental Stewardship Initiative program sponsored by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality, Department of Environmental Assistance and Customer Service. I hope that our decision and candor to inform you of an improper rescission and our timely responses for correction through engineering studies and infrastructure modifications provide proof that we are serious regarding the next steps for our Environmental Stewardship journey. We sincerely apologize for the mistake and hope we can establish a good working relationship with your department in the future. With kindest regards, Stephen C.

Incident Number: 201701034 County: Buncombe Case Number: DV-2018-0012 ASSESSMENT FACTORS 1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State,to the public health,or to private property resulting from the violation; All effluent violations may be detrimental to surface waters,but may not be immediately quantified. 2) The duration and gravity of the violation; NCG500608 was rescinded September 27,2013.The facility continues to discharge without a permit equating to a discharge duration of 1,642 days based on the assessment date of March 27,2018,Due to improvements made at the facility,the discharge of wastewater has decreased in volume from 51,830 gpd(July 2017)to 15,384 gpd(November 2017). Based on these flow volumes,the total wastewater discharged without a permit approximates 71,162,590 gallons (1,373 days * 51,830 gallons)for the period from permit rescission to approximately July 1,2017 and 4,138,296 gallons (269 days * 15,384 gallons)for the period from after July 1,2017(15,384 gpd reading,after reductions in flow discharge between July 2017 and November 2017)to assessment date of March 27,2018. 3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality; All effluent violations may be detrimental to surface waters,but may not be immediately quantified. Based on reports by Low and Bonar,the wastewater discharge complies with applicable surface water standards with the exception of zinc, copper,molybdenum and total residual chlorine. 4) The cost of rectifying the damage;.Estimated at$500,000 based on facility information. 5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance; The money saved over a 1,642 day period of not paying the annual general permit fees and not performing the required analyses are estimated at$2000. The facility would also save the amount it would costs to discharge to MSD,the local sewer authority, which the facility indicates all their wastewater was being discharged to.Based on a reported billing rate of$4.50/CCF(centum cubic feet)(ref:MSD email dated 02/21/2018),the total savings of not sending the wastewater to municipal sewer as reported is estimated at$453,013.35(75,300,886 gallons total/748 gallons(1 CCF=748 gallons) $4.50/CCF)over the period from permit rescission to assessment date of February 20,2018. 6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally; Incorrect information was provided to the Division to support the rescission of the general permit CDC NCG500608.There is no information available to the Division that suggests this rescission request was willful or intentional however the documentation provided to support rescission exhibits a high degree of negligence. 7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and There is no prior record for Low and Bonar,the current owners. 8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures. oacusien•a nr: $122.97 3/27/2018 ]EBPA380BSB4BC..

With the assistance of Mr. March, Boner personnel attempted to delineate historic pipelines,their contents, - point of origin and endpoint. Their evaluation determined all pipes that carry any type of wastewater go to the onsite lift station for discharge to the Metropolitan Sewerage District(MSD) line. The content of these lines is comingled industrial process wastewater, domestic wastewater, non-contact cooling wastewater, along with ground water infiltration and stormwater inflows (I & 1). If indeed all wastewater from this facility is discharged to MSD and not to waters of the State,then it is not necessary to maintain wastewater permit coverage. The current water quality permit(NCG500608) held by Boner is a General Wastewater Permit specifically for the discharge of Non-Contact Cooling wastewater to waters of the State. No other wastewater(i.e. industrial process wastewater, domestic wastewater) can legally be discharged with this General Permit. Therefore,the comingled wastewater mentioned above is not allowed to be discharged to waters of the State under this permit, under any circumstances. Boner would have to apply for an Individual Wastewater Permit if they wanted to discharge those wastewaters to the stream. This site has been down this road historically and had gotten out of the wastewater business when it disassembled/closed out its wastewater treatment units. If you want to discharge under the current General Wastewater Permit you will have to separate out the Non-Contact Cooling water from other wastewater, analyze that water for compliance with the Effluent Limitations in Part I A.(1), and submit up to date Biocide/Chemical Treatment work sheets for each chemical used. Given that Boner is discharging to the MSD system and not to waters of the State, it is suggested Boner request the General Wastewater Permit(NCG500608) be rescinded.

Jeff Menzel and I appreciate your assistance while conducting the inspection, as well as the assistance of Mr. Gaddy and Mr. Trantham. A summary of the inspection is provided with this letter. As we discussed on-site,the Division will continue to assist you with determining appropriate t sampling points. An updated stormwater pollution prevention plan should be completed within 90 days s of the effective date of the new permit(and annually thereafter). Following the determination of the sampling points for quantitative and qualitative sampling, along with completion of the updated plan, the Division expects that Colbond will resolve the existing non-compliance issues noted in the inspection report. The Division also recommends that Colbond work with Enka Water Control to ensure that the stormwater outfall remains clear of debris, and that the vegetation is regularly trimmed to allow easy access.

Wilson and Jeff Menzel)met with Mr. Jeremy Nauerl(Quality, Health, Safety and Environmental Manager)at the site on August 25, 2009. Colbond extrudes polymer pellets to manufacture nonwoven fabric used for carpet backing, in the construction industry,etc. Part of the north end of the site has been sold to Fletcher Partners and is in the process of demolition. Colbond owns the southern portion of the site and leases much of that space.A non-profit corporation (Enka Water Control)was formed among the various site owners to control the dike, Flood pumps, and outfalls. This scenario makes for complications in determining an appropriate monitoring outfall that is the sole responsibility of Colbond and that will be representative of runoff from Colbond's site. A tour was conducted of the exterior of the facility, observing the potential stormwater exposure areas, outfalls, and site conditions During the visit,the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan manual was reviewed, operational activities and existing stormwater exposures were discussed. The stormwater permit is currently up for renewal and some of the proposed changes were discussed with Mr. Nauert(especially regarding the"tiered"aspect of the permit). As noted in the inspection questionnaire section,the stormwater pollution prevention plan has not been properly updated I' (this plan should be updated within 90 days of the effective date of the new permit and annually thereafter). Due to the .state of flux of the site,the qualitative and quantitative monitoring was not conducted as required by the permit. Based on conversation with Mr. Nauert during the site visit, and resolution of the appropriate monitoring areas-this noncompliance will be remedied after issuance of the current permit(if not before). Secondary containment surrounds existing fuel tank areas. The size of the secondary containment is unknown -but should be stated and provided within the stormwater pollution prevention plan.Any stormwater from the these areas can be pumped out(after ensuring there is no petroleum contamination). No vehicle maintenance is conducted on-site. Again, at this time the Division and Mr. Nauert determined the northern edge of the property line at the east side ditch is an appropriate location for analytical and qualitative monitoring. As disucssed on-site,Colbond may also wish to perform analytical monitoring upstream of its site to ensure that any runoff from upstream impacts do not adversely affect Colbond's analytical monitoring results. The monitoring location for the west side is a bit more complex. Monitoring may need to be continued at the existing westside outfall location if the upstream storm drain area is not feasible. In addition, the stormwater drains should be reviewed more thoroughly in light of the current demolition to determine what drainage pipes are still viable and what Colbond is responsible for. Colbond should discuss with this office what the final decision is with regard to qualitative and analytical monitoring sites for the west side of the facility. The Division recomends Colbond work with its nonprofit partner, Enka Water Control,to ensure that the stormwater outfall (westside)remains clear of debris and the vegetation is trimmed enough to allow easy access.

Stormwater Management Plan. The stormwater management plan shall contain a narrative - -description of the materials management practices employed which control or minimize the exposure of significant materials to stormwater,including structural and nonstructural measures. The stormwater;management plan,at a minimum,shall incorporate the following: (a) Feasibility Study. A review of the technical and economic feasibility of changing the methods of operations and/or storage practices:to eliminate or reduce exposure of materials and processes to stormwater. Wherever practical,the perrnittee shall prevent exposure of all storage areas,material handling operations,and manufacturing or fueling operations. In areas where elimination of exposure is not practical,the stormwater management plan shall document the feasibility of diverting the stormwater ranoff away from areas of potential contamination. (b) Secondary Containment Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is required for: bulk storage of liquid materials; storage in any amount of Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act(SARA)water priority chemicals; and storage in any amount of hazardous substances,in order to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating storrnwater runoff. A table or summary of all such tanks and stored .materials and their associated secondary containment areas shall be maintained. If the secondary containment devices are connected to stomrwater conveyance systems,the connection shall be controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices (which shall be secured closed with a locking mechanism), 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 any material. 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. (c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management Practices(BMP)shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs shall be based on the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute significant quantities of pollutants to storrawater discharges and data collected through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually. 3. Spill Prevention and Response Plan. The Spill Prevention and Response Plan(SPRP).shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials inventory of the facility.Facility personnel(or the team)responsible for implementing the SPRP shall be identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and dated by each individual acknowledging their responsibilities for the plan. A responsible person shall be on-site at all times during facility operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or exposure of materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP must be site stormwater specific. Therefore,an oil Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure plan (SPCC)may be a component of the SPRP,but may not be sufficient to completely address the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may be incorporated by reference into the SPRP. - - Pert II Page2of8 Permit No.NCS000179 4, Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance and good housekeeping program shall be developed. The program shall list all stormwater control _ systems, stormwater discharge outfalls,all on-site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial activity areas(including material storage.mesa,material handling areas,disposal areas, process areas,loading and unloading areas, and haul roads),all drainage features and structures, and existing structural BMPs.The program shall establish schedules of inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping activities of stormwater control systems,as well as facility equipment, facility areas,and facility systems that present a potential for stormwater exposure or stormwater pollution; Inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program Timely compliance with the established schedules for inspections,maintenance, and housekeeping shall be recorded in writing and maintained in the SPPP. 5. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill response and cleanup, preventative maintenance activities,and for any of the facility's operations that have the potential _ to contaminate stormwater runoff. Facility personnel(or team)responsible for implementing.the - training shall be identified,and their annual training shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained. 6 Responsible Party. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall identify a specific -- positiou(s)responsible for the overall coordination,development,implementation,and revision to the Plan. Responsibilities for all components of the Plan shall be documented and position assignments provided. - - - - 7. Plan Amendment. The permittee shall amend the Plan whenever there is a change in design,. construction,operation,or maintenance which has a significant effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. The annual update shall include an updated list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous three years, or the notation that no spills have occurred. The annual update shall include written re-certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. Each annual update shall include a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the BMPs listed in the BMP Summary of the Stormwater Management Plan. The Director may notify the permittee when the Plan does not meet one or more of the minimum requirements of the permit. Within 30 days of such notice;the permittee shall submit a time schedule to the Director for modifying the Plan to meet minimum requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing(in accordance with Part III,Standard Conditions,Section B, i Paragraph 5)to the Director that the changes have been made. 8. Facility Inspections.Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur as part of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a minimum on a semi-annual schedule,once during the first half of the year(January to June),and once during the second half of the year(July to December),with at least 60 days separating inspection dates(unless performed more frequently than semi-annually). These facility inspections are different from, and in addition to,the stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring required in Part B B and C of this permit. t Part II Page 3 of 8 P Permit No.NCS000179 9. Implementation. The pear ittee shall implement the Plan. Implementation of the Plan shall include documentation of all monitoring,measurements, inspections,maintenance activities, and training provided to employees,including the log of the sampling data and of actions taken to implement BMPs associated with the industrial activities,including vehicle maintenance activities. Such documentation shall be kept on-site for a period of five years and made available to the Director or the Director's authorized representative immediately upon request. SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1. All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a representative storm event. The required monitoring will result in a minimum of ten analytical samplings being conducted over the term of the permit at each stormwater discharge outfall(SDO). Sampling results shall be reported as described in Part III, Section E. A representative storm event is a storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall. The time between this storm event and the previous storm event measuring greater than 0.1 inches must be at least 72 hours. A single.storm event may have a period of no precipitation of up to 10 hours. For example,if it rains but stops before producing any collectable discharge,a sample may be collected if the next rain producing a discharge begins within 10 hours. Table 1.

Implement the selected actions within twomonths of the inspection. 5. Record each instance of a Tier One response in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, Include the date and value of the benchmark exceedence,the inspection date,the personnel conducting the inspection,the selected actions;and the date the selected actions were implemented. ';Tier Two : _ If:During the term of this permit,the fast valid sampling results are above the benchmark values,or outside of the benchmark range,for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall two times in a row (consecutive); _ Then:The permittee shall: 1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier One. 2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring for all parameters at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples. Monthly(analytical and qualitative)' monitoring shall continue until three consecutive sample results are below the benchmark values,or within the benchmark range,for all parameters at that outfall. 3. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period,the permittee is required to submit a monthly monitoring report indicating"No Flow." 4. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. During the term of this permit,if the valid sampling results required for the permit monitoring periods exceed the benchmark value, or are outside the benchmark range,for any specific parameter at any specific outfall on four occasions,the permittee shall notify the DWQ Regional Office Supervisor in writing within 30 days of receipt of the fourth analytical results. DWQ may,but is not limited to: • require that the permittee increase or decrease the monitoring frequency for the remainder of the permit; • require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls; • require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures; or • require that the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for the No Exposure Exclusion. Part 11 Page 6 of Permit No.NCS000179 This site discharges to impaired waters experiencing problems with:biological.integrity. If a Total r Maximum Daily Load(TMDL)is approved for this segment of Hominy Creek,the permittee may be required to monitor for the pollutan (s)of codcem in the future and submit results to the Division of Water Quality. The Division will consider the monitoring results in determining whether additional BMPs are needed to control the pollutant(s) of concern to the maximum extent practicable. - If additional BMPs are needed to achieve the required level of control,the permittee will be required to (1)develop a strategy for implementing appropriate BMPs, and(2) submit a timetable for incorporation of those BMPs into the permitted Stormwater Pollution.Prevention Plan. SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUMEMENTS Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of representative outfall status;and shall be performed as specified in Table 4, during the analytical monitoring event. [If analytical monitoring is not required,the permittee still must conduct semi-annual qualitative monitoring.] In the event an atypical condition is noted at a smarawater discharge outfall,the permittee shall document the suspected cause of the condition and any actions taken in response to the discovery. This documentation will be maintained with the SPPP. - r Table 4.

The MSD Sewer Use Ordinance defines unpolluted wastewater, (section 1,03-75),as "any wastewater which is substantially free of pollutants and is discharge from the following: - I) min downspout and drains,or; 2) footing drains,or; 3) storm drains,or; 4) cooling water systems 5) aquifer restoration or well development The ordinance goes on to define cooling water,(section 1.03.14),as"the wastewater discharged from any use such as air conditioning,cooling or refrigeration or to which the only pollutant added is heat." In section 5.03,Specific Prohibited Waste,the ordinance states,"any=polluted wastewater as defined in subsection 1.03.75except as specifically permitted by the Engineer-Manager." As you can clearly seen,the MSD Ordinance does not allow for the addition of unpolluted water into the collection system.

BASF Corporation on the same manufacturing site also obtained a similar permit(NCG500607). This application is for the modification of the Colbond permit. The modifications are: 1. Add cooling tower blowdown Actually,the cooling tower blowdown Colbond is adding is from cooling towers that BASF currently operates and are a part of their permit. These cooling towers will be transferred to Colbond. See attachment A,drawing CIENK002.025, Rev. 0, source#2. 2. Add boiler blowdown Colbond is adding new gas-fired steam boilers. This application is for the blowdown from these new boilers. The new arrangement is shown on the enclosed diagram(Attachment A, drawing Cl ENK002.25, Rev. 0) of the water sources and planned discharge points. The following items are included in this application package: 1. 3 copies of the application. 2. 3 copies of a USGS quad map showing site location. 3. 3 copies of a drawing C1ENK002.025,Rev. 0 showing the pathway of the cooling water discharges. 4. 3 copies of drawing C I ENK001.025, Rev. 0 showing the various point sources. 5. 3 copies each of three(3) different Worksheet-Form 101's for the chemicals used. 6. 3 copies of MSD's for the biocides and rust inhibitor used. It is our understanding that for the modification another$80.00 fee is not required. --Yours£ruly> R ' Colbond Inc. Site Manager P.O.
