Buncombe County
Dear Permittee:
The facility listed above is covered under NPDES General Permit NCG500000. .NCG500000 expires
on July 31,2007. Federal(40 CFR 122.41) and North Carolina(15A NCAC 2H.0105(e))regulations require
that permit renewal applications must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current permit. If
you have already mailed a renewal request,you may disregard this notice.
To satisfy this requirement,the Division must receive a renewal request postmarked no later than
February 1.2007. Failure to request renewal by this date may result in a civil penalty assessment. Larger
penalties may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request. This renewal notice is being sent
well in advance of the due date so that you have adequate time to prepare your application.
If any discharge previously covered under NCG500000 will occur after July 31, 2007,the
CoC must be renewed. Discharge of wastewater without a valid permit would violate North Carolina
General Statute 143-215.1;unpermitted discharges of wastewater may be assessed civil penalties of up to
$25,000 per day.
If all discharge has ceased at your facility and you wish to rescind this CoC [or if you have other
questions],contact me at the telephone number or e-mail address listed below.
Sincerely,
�Iwk � v �.

From: Matt Matthews P VI
Subject: Biocide Use
BASF Corporation
NPDES No. NCG500607 -
Buncombe County
BASF Corporation has requested approval for the use of two biocides: GE Betz Dianodic DN2478 and
Spectrus NX108. 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.

Dear Mr. Todd Christenson:
Attached are the Form 101s for two cooling tower chemicals that we would like to use. 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 [phone]. 1 have also included my
business card.

Eric- see Charlie's comments below regarding no half-life for DN2478 product.
It looks like if there was a half-life it would exceed the 5days on the DNR
form. I will not have my computer Friday through Tuesday, so if you need me,
please call. Thanks.

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" .

inform you. With regards to other non-oxidizers, they contribute chlorides due
to the salts they contain. Also, Charlie believes that we will be able to
feed 40 ppm of NX108 and achieve performance given the relatively clean

-Bromine Azole Toxicity doc_760638.doc

/ Water & Process Technologies
February 25, 2005
RE: Potential Interaction of Bromine and Azoles
Dear GE Infrastructure Water& Process Technology Customer:
As part of GE Infrastructure Water and Process Technology's
(GEIWPT's) commitment to keep its Customers informed on its products, this
letter is a summary of a potential issue involving the use of a combination of
products containing Azoles and products containing Bromine. 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.
Sincerely,
Steve Mertz

MEMORANDUM
To: Susan Wilson
From: Matt Matthews Mw-
Subject: Biocide Use
BASF Corporation
NPDES No.NCG500607
Buncombe County
BASF Corporation has requested approval for the use of two biocides: GE Betz Dianodic DN2479 and
Spectrus NX108. 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.
If there are questions concerning this review, please call me at [phone].

Concentrations on chemical feeds to cooling towers
Subject: Concentrations on chemical feeds to cooling towers
Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2003 13:16:45 -0400
From: "Eric S Barbour" <[e-mail]>
To: [e-mail]
Roy,
Here are the concentrations:
Diaaodic DN2481 177ppm
Dianodic DN2307 100ppm
Bleach 0.5ppm (free chlorine residual)
I will fax you the MSDS's for the bleach and the DN2307. 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.
Thank you,
Eric Barbour

Re: Application for General Permit for BASF Enka Plant
Dear Sir:
The BASF Enka Site is making preparations for the closing of their Waste Water
Treatment Plant which is currently permitted under NPDES Permit# NC 0000299. 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. (ID
7. 3 copies of the MSDS for the biocide used. .r.
8. 3 copies of a letter from the biocide manufacturer, Ashland Chemical, stati I�
that no copper, chromium, or zinc are present in the biocide. _�,�
9. 3 copies of a letter from Monty Payne of the Metropolitan Sewerage Distric
stating their refusal to treat the waste waters cited in this application.
Sand Hill Poed,P.O.Box 669,Enke,North Carolina 28728-0669 [phone]

Your prompt attention to this application is appreciated as these changes are being
made to make a deadline of May 31,2002 to coincide with the expiration of our NPDES
Permit.

Re Cooling Water.
Dean Mr.Ackerman:
This is in follow-up to your request concerting what MSD considers as unpolluted wastewater and
would not accept. 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:
1). rain 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 heal" In
section 5.03,Specific Prohibited Waste,the ordinance states,"any unpolluted:wastewater as defined in
'subsection 1.03.75 except 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.
Ifyou have arty questions concerning this issue,please contact this office
