The inspection found the Brenntag treatment system to be compliant with the NPDES permit. The inspection findings are detailed below and an inspection checklist is attached for your records. I. Permit The NPDES permit was issued on October 1, 2011 and expires on May 31, 2016. Please note -that at the next renewal, it is expected that the new permit will require Brenntag to begin submitting monthly self -monitoring reports electronically per the new EPA rule. H. Records/Reports The monthly self -monitoring reports (DMRs) were reviewed for the period January 2014 through October 2014. The facility was found to be in compliance with the NPDES effluent limits for the above period. Brenntag staff performs the on -site monitoring for continuous flow and pH. ARCADIS collects the quarterly effluent samples for the remainder of the parameters listed in the permit. All monitoring was performed per the frequencies specified in the permit. III. Facility Site Review The groundwater remediation system consists of the following; extraction wells, a single surge tank, two in line strainers and an air stripping tower. Flow is monitored using the two mechanical totalizers on the influent lines from the EW-1 and EW-2 recovery wells. The facility appeared to be competently operated and maintained. The remediation system was currently shut down due to pump issues at the EW-1 well. 450 West Hanes Mill Road, Suite 300, Winston-Salem, NC 27105 Phone: 336-776-9800 \ Internet: www.ncwaterguality.org An Equal Opportunity\Affirmative Action Employer —Made in partby recycled paper Mr. Bruce Biehl Page 2 January 15, 2015 IV.

On the data sheet, the flow rate recorded under "totalizer total' is based off the effluent totalizer, which measures flow rates inside the flume with a vortex flow meter. The flow rate reported on the DMR is based off the mechanical totalizers on the EW-1 and EW-2 influent lines. Most of the time the flow rates between the two methods are very close (i.e. within 10%). However, there are several factors that can affect the measurements inside the flume and if the detected water height is off by even a centimeter, it can cause a discrepancy in the reported flow rate. Since the mechanical totalizers are a more accurate form of measuring flow than the vortex meter, we have always presented the flow rates on the DMR according to the mechanical totalizers.

Operations Manager, to perform a Compliance Evaluation Inspection on the groundwater remediation system (GWR) at the above mentioned facility. This type of inspection consists of two basic parts: an in office file review and an on -site inspection of the treatment facility. The inspection found the Brenntag GWR system to be in complete compliance with the NPDES permit. The attached EPA inspection form notes the eight (8) areas that were evaluated for this inspection. The findings and observations are outlined below: I. Permit The NPDES permit was reissued with an effective date of October 1, 2011. The new permit now has a chronictoxicity testing concentration of 90% (previously 22%) due to the zero flow classification of the receiving stream by USGS. Otherwise, the effluent limitations and monitoring requirements remained the same. II. Self -Monitoring Program The monthly self -monitoring reports (DMR's) were reviewed for the period January 2011 through November 2011. The facility was found to be in complete compliance with final NPDES effluent limits for the above period. In regards to the permit monitoring requirements, it was noted that all sampling was performed per the frequencies specified in the permit. It was noted that the words "Guilford County" were accidently omitted from the self -monitoring reports submitted for non -quarterly sampling months. Please make sure the county name is included on the effluent page. III. Flow Measurement Effluent flow is monitored with a totalizer connected to an ultrasonic meter at the parshall flume. The totalizer values are cross checked against monitoring well pump rates for accuracy.

(ARCADIS) has enclosed one original and two copies of the jshilliday@arcadis- National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit renewal us.com application for the continued discharge of effluent from a groundwater remediation system at the Brenntag Southeast facility (formerly Worth Chemical facility) in Our ref: Greensboro, North Carolina. Treated groundwater from the remediation system is NC102030.0010 discharged directly to an un-named tributary of South Buffalo Creek located along the eastern boundary of the site. Other items enclosed with this letter in support of the NPDES permit renewal application include: a copy of the October 2010 Discharge Monitoring Report (Attachment A) which summarizes the most recent analytical data for the system effluent; a USGS topographic map of the project area that depicts the location of the system outfall (Figure 1); and a site map that depicts the route of the treated water to the discharge point (Figure 2). Sludge is neither generated nor discharged by the groundwater remediation system; therefore, a sludge management plan has not been included with this application. Any solids (i.e. silt, iron and manganese precipitate) generated during the groundwater extraction process are filtered from the treatment stream using bag filters. The existing NPDES permit for the facility does not have an effluent monitoring requirement for suspended solids.
