The compounds are to be used in cooling towers at the company's Buncombe County facility. Data submitted by BASF Corporation describing the application rates of the compounds, system volumes,system flow rates, and active ingredient toxicity have been reviewed and evaluated. One minor modification made during the review occurred due to the nature of the toxicity data submitted for the Speetrus NX108 product. The toxicity data submitted was a 21-day reproduction LCso. Given that this is a chronic endpoint, no Application Factor was employed in the calculations. The purpose of the Application Factor is to estimate a chronic endpoint(Regulated Limitation) from acute data. Since a chronic endpoint was available, a direct comparison of the level of chronic toxicity of the product to the receiving stream concentration could be made, with no need for a conversion. This resulted in a significant increase in the safety margin between the regulated limitation and the receiving stream concentration as compared to the original submittal. Calculations summarized on the accompanying worksheet predict that the use of these products at the stated dosage rate and discharge conditions will not cause toxic impacts to aquatic life in the receiving stream,Hominy Creek. Therefore, the use of these products as biocides at BASF Corporation's Buncombe Co. facility is acceptable. If there are questions concerning this review, please call me at(919) 733-2136. cc: Eric S.

The reason the change is that we are experiencing stress corrosion cracking on some stainless steel heat exchangers. We believe that the increased chloride concentration from our current bleach biocide treatment coupled with the high water temperature is causing the corrosion. I have also included some supporting documentation regarding the MSDSs, cooling system capacities, cycle and blowdown rates, etc. that are required. The only part that is not included is a letter from our water treatment company, GE Betz, stating that the two chemicals do not contain chromium, zinc, and copper. I was told verbally that they do not, and I will fax you the letter as soon as I received it. If you have any questions, please call me at (828)667-7346. 1 have also included my business card.

[New Response] Steve - There is no 1/2 life info for the DN2478 as there is for NX108. NX108 is composed of a single active that has a fairly well-defined rate of hydrolysis. DN2478 is a blend of phosphates, azole, and polymer. You won't be able to provide a single value that is meaningful for the product. The 1/2 life question would have to be posed and answered for each of the actives. I don't have such data. I expect the organics (HRA & HPS I) might have 1/2-lives but under normal cooling water conditions expect they would be measured in weeks or longer. Don't think phosphates have a "1/2-life" . CA [Original Question] Butch, customer is putting in form with NC.DNR and needs to know half-life of NX108.

GEIWPT has learned that the use of bromine as a disinfectant in waters that contain azoles has the potential to result in by-products that can adversely affect the aquatic toxicity of discharged waters depending on the toxicity test performed and whether the water requires treatment prior to discharge. Azoles (tolyltriazole (TTA), benzotriazole (BZT) or halogen resistant azole (HRA)) are used for copper corrosion control in cooling systems. Bromine- based disinfectants (e.g., Stabilized Bromine, Sodium Bromide, BCDMH and other sources of active bromine) are often used for microbial control. In some instances, Customers have used Azoles and Bromine in combination to treat their cooling systems. This combined use of Bromine and Azoles under certain conditions may produce a by-product that may cause difficulty meeting water discharge limits for aquatic toxicity. The most sensitive aquatic species appear to be fish (trout and minnows) with less sensitivity detected in the invertebrates (daphnia and ceriodaphnia). To eliminate such direct discharge effluent toxicity concerns, discontinue use of sodium bromide products (e.g., Spectrus OX1201 or OX109) and use chlorine alone from gas, liquid bleach or solid chlorine donors for cooling water disinfection. Application of HRA will permit the chlorine residual to be adjusted as needed to provide the desired microbial control without incurring an increase in copper corrosion. Where solid BCDMH-type bromine donors are in use (e.g., Spectrus OX103,-OX1200, OX1203),-consider use of Spectrus OX1202 (di- chloro hydantoin in briquette form) or Spectrus OX101 (granular chloro- isocyanurate). The dosage and/or feed frequency of the chlorine donor may require adjustment to compensate for solubility or efficacy differences. The potential for increased aquatic toxicity is not limited to activated sodium bromide or BODMI-1-type products. All products capable of generating an active bromine oxidizing residual (e.g., Spectrus NX102, NX108, NX1102, OX105, OX903 and OX909) have the potential to increase aquatic toxicity in direct discharge streams when co-fed with azoles. Of course, even without co-feeding Bromine and Azoles, effluent toxicity issues may still exist due to the presence of other unrelated chemical species. These recommendations do not guarantee aquatic toxicity tests will automatically be passed. if you use azoles in combination with a Bromine product to treat your cooling system and you have a water discharge that regulates aquatic toxicity you may want to contact your GEIWPT representative for further assistance and alternative treatment suggestions.

The compounds are to be used in cooling towers at the company's Buncombe County facility. Data submitted by BASF Corporation describing the application rates of the compounds, system volumes, system flow rates, and active ingredient toxicity have been reviewed and evaluated. One minor modification made during the review occurred due to the nature of the toxicity data submitted for the Spectrus NX108 product. The toxicity data submitted was a 21-day reproduction LC50• Given that this is a chronic endpoint, no Application Factor was employed in the calculations. The purpose of the Application Factor is to estimate a chronic endpoint(Regulated Limitation) from acute data. Since a chronic endpoint was available, a direct comparison of the level of chronic toxicity of the product to the receiving stream concentration could be made, with no need for a conversion. This resulted in a significant increase in the safety margin between the regulated limitation and the receiving stream concentration as compared to the original submittal. _ Calculations summarized on the accompanying worksheet predict that the use of these products at the stated dosage rate and discharge conditions will not cause toxic impacts to aquatic life in the receiving . stream, Hominy Creek. Therefore, the use of these products as biocides at BASF Corporation's Buncombe Co. facility is acceptable.

As I mentioned on the last fax, we plan use the DN2307 rather than the DN2481, but not both. It depends on how many cycles we can run on the tower. A "cycle" is the ratio of the dissolved solids of the water in the tower basin to the dissolved solids in the make-up water. The goal is to run as high as you can on cycles while preventing the solids from plating out on the tower basin. The higher the cycles, the lower your chemical costs and water usage. I hope I have explained this adequately, but if not, please let me know. I do understand that probably we will have to dechlorinate our tower blowdown to meet the 17ppb limit.

Plans are to complete this by May 2002. At that time all sanitary and process-related waste will be sent to the Metropolitan Sewerage District which serves the City of Asheville. The plans include the removal of all cooling water discharges from the industrial waste stream designated to be discharged to MSD . The attached application package is to request a General Permit for direct discharge of cooling tower blow down and once- through cooling water via the East Ditch to Hominy Creek , a class "C' stream that currently receives our NPDES Permitted discharge. Effective October 1, 2001; Colbond, Inc. of the Accordis Group, who formerly shared the site with BASF purchased the site (land and buildings)from BASF. Colbond currently discharges cooling tower blow down to our W WTP and is making a separate application to your office for a General Permit to allow them to discharge through the East Ditch directly to Hominy Creek. This arrangement is depicted on the enclosed diagram of the water sources and planned discharge points. The following items are included in this application package: � == � 1. A check for$80.00 made payable to NC DENR 2. 3 copies of a USGS quad map showing site location. 3. 3 copies of the application. o 4. 3 copies of a drawing showing the pathway of the cooling water discharge . ^. 5. 3 copies of a diagram depicting the various point sources. 6. 3 copies each of Form 101 for the biocide used in cooling towers.
