Humphrey Re.: Rescission of Groundwater Monitoring Requirements Permit No. NC0000507 Henderson County Dear Mr. Humphrey, On June 14, 2002, the Water Quality Section of the Asheville Regional Office rescinded the subject permit. Under the subject permit, you were required to monitor groundwater quality in four monitoring wells. Based upon our review of the existing groundwater monitoring data and the rescission of the permit, the Groundwater Section is no longer requiring any groundwater monitoring associated with this permit. Within sixty (60) days upon your receipt of this letter, monitor wells MW-1, MW-2, MW-3 and MW-4 shall be permanently abandoned. Within thirty (30) days of abandonment, a Well Abandonment Record (see attached form GW-30) shall be completed for each well abandoned and mailed to the address listed in the "Reporting/Documentation"section of the Groundwater Requirements or this regional office. The wells must be abandoned by a North Carolina Certified Well Contractor, the property owner, or the property lessee according to General Statutes 87-98.4(b)(2). If the abandonment is not performed by a certified well contractor, the property owner o;r lessee must physically perform the actual well abandonment activities and the wells must be abandoned according to the North Carolina Well Construction Standards (15A NCAC 2C .0113) and local county rules.. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at 828-251-6208, ext. 301. Sincerely, G. Landon Davidson, P.G.

I believe the original intent of the triannual monitoring was to measure the impact our wastewater treatment lagoons had on our groundwater. GE Lighting Systems, inc. would like to discontinue the triannual monitoring for the following reasons: 1) The lagoons have not been used for process wastewater treatment since June of 1995 (i.e. only stormwater currently goes to the lagoons); and 2) We are currently conducting groundwater remediation as part of our superfund site cleanup and monitor numerous wells both on our property and in the surrounding area. Please let me know if your office agrees to discontinue the triannual monitoring. If you have any questions please give me a call at 828-693-2533. Sincerely, � " ' %Ohp� Lee A.

CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (MONTHLY) The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in: 1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic Bioassay Procedure - Revised *September 1989) or subsequent versions. The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality is 72 % (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document). The permit holder shall perform monthly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance with the permit condition. The first test will be performed after thirty days from the effective date of this permit. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code TGP3B. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch North Carolina Division of Water Quality 4401 Reedy Creek Road Raleigh, N.C. 27607 DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY l August 21, 1996 MEMORANDUM TO: Dave Goodrich �\ THROUGH: Matt Matthews M�V�� FROM: Kristie Robeson SUBJECT: Permit Modification GE Lighting Systems NPDES Permit No. NC0000507 Henderson County By cover letter dated July 2, 1996, the subject facility was issued NPDES permit No. NC0000507 with an effective date of August 1, 1996, and an expiration date of September 30, 2000. Review of the permit shows a discrepancy between the stormwater monitoring requirements page and Pan III, Condition J. The stormwater monitoring page of the permit shows that outfalls 001, 002, 004, 005, 006, and 008 should conduct 24 hour acute toxicity tfivnitoritlg; however, Part III, Condition J, contains an acute toxicity limit. This condition also specifies for the facility to collect a 24 hour grab sample for toxicity. Our office has recognized this sampling method as a repetitive error occurring in permits and should be removed from all templates. Since the outfalls referenced above discharge stormwater and the discharges are not continuous, 24 hour LC50 acute toxicity monitoring using fathead minnows would be the appropriate test to assign. Grab sampling would be the preferred sample type. Please find attached appropriate toxicity language to be inserted for Part III, Condition J. The effluent limitations page labeled D (8). which contains the monitoring requirements for outfall 001 when process wastewater is discharged also contains an error. The frequency for chronic toxicity testing is incorrect on this page. Chronic toxicity testing should be conducted monthly for this outfall when process wastewater is discharged. The quarterly months January, April, July, and October should be removed from this limits page. In addition, Part III, Condition K, should be changed to monthly as opposed to quarterly.. Please find attached language to be used for Part III, Condition K. We appreciate your assistance to undertake the necessary steps to correct the existing permit and incorporate the recommendations cited above.

Hunt, Jr., Governor Jonathan B. Howes, Secretary A. Preston Howard, Jr., P.E., Director C July 2, 1996 Mr. Lee Humphrey General Electric Company GE Lighting Systems 3010 Spartanburg Highway - Hendersonville, North Carolina 28793 �F*,%,J k. Subject: NPDES Permit Issuance Permit No. NC0000507 GE Lighting Systems Henderson County Dear Mr. Humphrey: In accordance with the application for a discharge permit received on November 1, 1995, the Division is forwarding herewith the subject NPDES permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated December 6, 1983. In response to comments and concerns raised by environmental groups, members of the public, and yourself concerning NPDES draft permit no. NC0000507 for GE Lighting Systems, major changes to the draft permit include the following: - Supplement to Permit Cover Sheet (item no. 2): this item now indicates six (rather than five) outfalls and includes outfall 001 within the parentheses listing the six outfalls. Site map: outfall 001 indicates that both ston-nwater and process wastewater are permitted to be discharged at this location. - Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements page for the groundwater remediation discharge: a monthly monitoring requirement for the following metals has been added - beryllium, chromium (total), cobalt, iron, nickel, and zinc. In addition, mercury will have it daily maximum limit of 0.031 ugA and monitoring will be required twice/month. The draft permit was prepared using data which indicated that lead was the only potential metal of concern in the groundwater. More recent groundwater data indicated the presence of other metals in the groundwater which if discharged to surface water could adversely affect the stream's water quality. Therefore, additional metals monitoring requirements have been added to the permit. Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements page for the process wastewater discharge: downstream monitoring station location has been moved upstream to Tabor Road and wording of footnote number three has been changed slightly. Some members of the public believed a downstream monitoring station that was closer than 1.5 miles downstream from the discharge locations would be more representative of potential impacts to the stream. The proposed monitoring station location at Tabor Road should be more representative and also is located in an accessible location. The wording of footnote number three was changed to improve comprehension of its intent. ' - Part 111, Special Condition E: has been changed to include metals in addition to'toxicity and a statement has also been added which allows the permittee to petition the Division for reductions or elimination of certain monitoring requirements if data support such changes.

Specific Monitoring Requirements (for the stormwater discharges): The sample location for Acute Toxicity monitoring was clarified. The requirement specifies monitoring at only SDO and not "SDO or 001. If the facility regularly passes toxicity tests at these locations, the facility may petition the division to decrease monitoring frequency. Finally, the Division recommends that the facility install a filter system and or use sequestering agents to protect against potential iron and/or manganese fouling the groundwater remediation treatment system. If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150E of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, Post Office Drawer 27447, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7447. Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding. Please take note that this permit is not transferable. Part 1I, EA. addresses the requirements to be followed in case of change in ownership or control of this discharge. This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water Quality or permits required by the Division of Land Resources or any other Federal or Local governmental permit that may required.

Inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program. e Training schedules shall be developed and training provided at a minimum on an annual basis on proper spill response and cleanup procedures and preventative maintenance activities for all personnel involved in 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 in the plan. The Stormwatee Pollution Prevention Plan shall identify a specific position(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(s) assignments provided. The permitted 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. This Plan shall be considered public information in accordance with Part 11 Standard Conditions, Section E.10. ofthis NPDES permit. PART i Section A: Continued FINAL LIMITATIONS AND CONTROLS FOR STORMWATER DISCHARGE During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the Permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater from the General Electric Company's Facility. Such discharges shall be controlled, limited and monitored as specified below: - The Permittee shall develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, herein after referred to as the Plan. The Plan shall include, at a minimum, the following items: a. Site Plan. The site plan shall provide a description of the physical facility and the potential pollutant sources which may be expected to contribute to contamination of stormwater discharges. The site plan shall contain the following: (i) A general location map (USG§ quadrangle map or appropriately drafted equivalent map), showing the facility's location in relation to transportation routes and surface waters, the name of the receiving water(s) to which the stormwater outfall(s) discharges, or if the discharge is to a municipal separate storm sewer system, the name of the municipality and the ultimate receiving waters; and accurate latitude and longitude of the point(s) of discharge. (2) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities, outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and waste disposal practices. (3) A site map drawn to scale with the distance legend indicating location of industrial activities (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas and loading and unloading areas), drainage structures, drainage areas for each outfall and activities occurring in the drainage area, building locations and Impervious surfaces, and the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious. For each outfall, a narrative description of the potential pollutants which could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge.' (4) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred at the facility during the 3 previous years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts. (5) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. PART 1 Je ion b: MINIMUM MUNI I UHINU ANU Ht: VH 1 INU HLUUIHtMtN I S (unless otherwise approved in writing by the Director of the Division of Water Quality) 1. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. Implementation of the plan shall include documentation of all sampling, measurements, inspections and maintenance activities and training provided to employees, Including the log of the sampling data and of activities 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 his authorized representative immediately upon request. 2. 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 to the Director that the changes have been made. 3. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur at a minimum on a semiannual schedule, once in the fall (September -November) and once during spring (April - June). The inspection and any subsequent maintenance activities performed shall be documented, recording date and time of inspection, individual(s) making the inspection and a narrative description of the facility's stormwater control systems, plant equipment and systems. Records of these inspections shall be incorporated into the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. 4. Sample collection and visual monitoring for color, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, shall be performed at all stormwater discharge outfall locations. If a facility has multiple discharge locations that are required to be sampled, the permittee may petition the Director to sample at a reduced number of outfalis if it is established that the stormwater discharges are substantially identical. Visual observations shall be recorded for all outfall locations. 5. For purposes of the stormwater sampling required in this permit, all samples shall be collected from a discharge resulting from a representative storm event (See Section C: Stormwater Definitions). Failure to monitor storm events in accordance with the specified frequency shall constitute a violation of this permit. If the stormwater runoff is controlled by a detention pond, the following sampling requirements shall apply: a. If the detention pond detains the runoff generated by one inch of rainfall for 24 hours, a grab sample of the discharge from the pond shall be.collected within the first 30 minutes of the discharge. b. If the detention pond discharges only in response to a storm event exceeding a ten year design storm (See Section C: Stormwater Definitions), visual observations for color, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens, and dry weather flow are required, but analytical sampling shall not be required. C. If the detention pond discharges only in response to a storm event exceeding a 25-year, 24-hour storm (See Section C: Stormwater Definitions), the pond shall be considered a non -discharging stormwater control system and not subject to NPDES requirements, unless the discharge causes a violation of water quality standards. 6. Samples analyzed in accordance with the terms of this permit shall be submitted on forms provided by the Dirctor no later than January 31 for the previous year in which sampling was required to be performed. r-, N g g S g g g g 8 E' 0 CD 0000 C d E tU O• D D� D DD O f� i� 0 0 Q � H C C 0 C O C RS RJ C C O C ctS R3 f0 c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c alc Qaaaaaaaa LO 0 O 0 U Z c co a E 3 � � c c c ¢QQ 12 L 000 i0 C C d Ln to O 0 z Z-- z 0 ►li E amcn a Ln Ln to 7� z 7- 0) tm 0 =i.3=L vs o m _ �a � __ m (a p N N 3 N E~ O_ p O -5 -. 10- 0 � xo w75 x O _ a� 0 LL C� m.E E 0) - — FO- `1212 � o c ;oE .. m76 � � c��voa�c�> sc viam ... � .r u) E F- E0 UUU� �-,ZCAN F- dUUXQ U cq Q O O .D C cC CO O 0 O O O O O O 0 0 N ctl 0 a> m cc a� io E O N 0 co e 0 U 0 CD a T co d CD c a Ocm N > �- E , O oCDCD ,_. noc v do�ccr off.° cEVE cv cts a, coi3O c V Ew, cts_ a, W C C Ew ca co N a, c o t:EEza, «.c3 CD =c- mca°ccao cC o'" tm cn at 0— o .0 ` C C 0 O EG (n ov..

Act or "the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq. 5. Mass/Day Measurements a. The "monthly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such month. It is .therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" in Part I of the permit: b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar week (Sunday = Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" in Part I of the permit. c. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged during A calendar day. If only one sample is taken daring any calendar day the weight of pollutant calculated from it is the "maximurh daily discharge. This limitation is identified as "Daily Maximum," in Part I of the permit. d . The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the year and then dividing this 'suit by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in Part I of the permit. a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average monthly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit: b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar week (Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration of pollutant calculated from it is the "Maximum Daily Concentration". It is identified as "Daily Maximum" under "Other Limits" in Part 1 of the permit: d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal colform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day . The average yearly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar year: This limitation is identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits" to Part I of the permit. e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the minimum allowable amount of dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge averaged over a calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a calendar day, the sample is considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the discharge. It is identified as "daily average" in the text of Part 1: f. The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken,over a calendar quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I of the permit. g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and October through December. Part II 7. Other Measurements a. Flow, (MGI)): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar month. b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge. c. A "continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility which occurs continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device. 8. Types of Samples a. Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of: (1) a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual ;m7samples le collection, of (2) a series of of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the present gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or (3) a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional to the rate of now. In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be no greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall be no greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at time intervals evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in number of hours to the detention time of the system in number of days. However,` in no case may the time interval between effluent grab samples be greater than six (6) hours not the number of samples less than four (4) during a 24 hour sampling period. b. Grab Sampler Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge or the receiving waters. 9. Calculation of Means a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. b . Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the product of the individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values. The geometric mean is equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be considered to be one (1). c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each concentration times its "respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows. Part II 10. Calendar Day A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However; for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. 11.

SECTION C. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF POLLUTION CONTROLS 1. Certified Operator Pursuant to Chapter 90A-44 of North Carolina General Statutes, and upon classification of the facility by the Certification Commission, the permittee shall employ a certified wastewater treatment plant operator in responsible charge (ORC) of the wastewater treatment facilities. Such operator must hold a certification of the grade equivalent to or greater than the classification assigned to the wastewater treatment facilities by the Certification Commission. The permittee must also employ a certified backup operator of the appropriate type and any grade to comply with the conditions of Title 15A, Chapter 8A .0202. The ORC of the facility must visit each Class I facility at least weekly and each Class 1I,III, and IV facility at least daily, excluding weekends and holidays, and must properly manage and document daily operation and maintenance' of the facility and must comply with all other conditions of Title 15A, Chapter 8A .0202. Once the facility is classified, the permittee shall submit a letter to the Certification Commission which designates the operator in responsible charge within thirty days after the wastewater treatment facilities are 50% complete. 2. Proper Operation and Maintenance The permittee shall at All times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit. Proper operation and maintenance also includes adequate laboratory controls and appropriate quality assurance procedures. This provision requires the operation of back-up or auxiliary facilities or similar systems which are installed by a permittee only when the operation is necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of the permit: 3. Need to Halt or Reduce not a Defense ' It shall not be a defense for a pefYnittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the condition of this permit. Part 11 4, Bypassing_of Treatment Facilities a. Definitions (1) 'Bypass" means the known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility: (2) "Severe property damage" means substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss caused by delays in production. b. Bypass not exceeding limitations: The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to be exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation. These bypasses are not subject to the provisions of Paragraphs c. and d. of this section. c. Notice (1) Anticipated bypass. If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass; including an evaluation of the anticipated quality and affect of the bypass. (2) Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as required in Part I1, E. 6. of this permit. (24 hour notice). d. Prohibition of Bypass (1) Bypass is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement action against a permittee for bypass, unless: (A) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property damage; (B) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities, retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup equipment should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and (C) The permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph c. of this section. (2) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its adverse affects, if, the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above in Paragraph d. (1) of this section. 5. Upsets a. Definition. "Upset " means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, Part II inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation. b . Effect of an upset. An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with such technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final administrative action subject to judicial review. c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset. A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate, through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that: (1) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset; (2) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and (3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II, E. 6. (b) (B) of this permit. (4) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part II, B. 2. of this permit. d. Burden of proof. In any enforcement proceeding the permitted seeking to establish the occurrence of an upset has the burden of proof. 6.

Hunt, Jr., Governor Jonathan B. Howes, Secretary A. Preston Howard, Jr., P.E., Director Mr. Lee Humphrey General Electric Company GE Lighting Systems 3010 Spartanburg Highway Hendersonville, NC 28793 Dear Mr. Humphrey: 4 April 14,1994 Subject: NPDES / NC GE Lighting Systems Henderson County In accordance with your application for discharge permit received on October 6, 1992, we are forwarding herewith the subject State - NPDES permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the US Environmental Protection Agency dated December 6, 1983 In response to your letter of June 11, 1993, regarding your draft permit, the following NPDES permit comments are for your clarification. They are in the same order as the June letter. 1. DEM agrees with the modification to include the stormwater outfall numbers and they have been added to the supplement to cover page, the map and the stormwater effluent pages. 2. Part 1, Section B, 6 and Part II, Section D, 2 do create confusion by appearing to be contradictory. Therefore, to reduce the confusion, Part I, B,6 has been removed from the test of the permit. Reporting of the stormwater data shall be required to be submitted in accordance with Part H, Section D, 2. 3. DEM agrees that the three per term is extensive for this short term permit. The has been changed at the respective locations. 4. The stormwater outfall numbers have been added. At this point in time, DEM cannot concur with your request to consider outfall 006 and outfall 008 similar. Therefore, sampling shall be required at all stormwater outfalls. GE may submit more detailed information on outfall 006 and 008 and request DEM re -calculate the outfalls for similarity.. 5. After review of the files, it appears that cyanide and fluoride do not exist in levels that require monitoring in the stormwater samples. Therefore DEM has removed the monitoring requirements for cyanide and fluoride as well as their respective footnotes. 6. The requirement to sample for Total Toxic Organics shall remain in the permit. After submittal, review, and approval of the solvent management plan, the facility shall have approval to submit the certification statement in Part 1, Section C, 7 stating no dumping of concentrated toxic organics occur in stormwater areas in lieu of sampling for TTO. 7.

To address the potential that new storage facilities are constructed in the future, the statement requiring tank containment will remain in the permit. 9. The spelling correction has been made. 10. As was intended by this paragraph, all prior NPDES permits with the number NC0000507 will be revoked upon the issuance of this NPDES permit. This action does in no way effect any other NPDES or other permits held by this facility. 11. Several concerns have been raised by the Clean Water Fund concerning several parameters, cobalt, carbon disulfide and xylenes. After review of the file data, the request for monitoring seems to be warranted based on the need to obtain additional information to assess potential affects on receiving waters. Therefore, as agreed to by General Electric in the June 17, 1993 letter, elm ' as been added to the effluent pages. ar on a quarterly basis. If the data inAcars concentrations of the above parameters sufficient to create a potential for adverse affects on the receiving waters, the Division may reopen permit to address the concerns.

SECTION E. DEFINITION 1. Permit Issuing Authority The Director of the Division of Environmental Management. 2. DEM or Division Means the Division of Environmental Management, Department of Natural Resources and Community Development. Part II Page 11 of 14 3. EMC: Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission. 4. Act or "the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq. 5. Mass Day Measurements a. The "monthly average discharge: is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sample and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges samples and/or measured during such.month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. The limitation is identified as "Daily Average" or "Monthly Average" in Part I of the permit. b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar week (Sunday -Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges samples and/or measured during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" in Part I of the permit. C. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged during a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as "Daily Maximum," in Part I of the permit. d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sample and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of. pollutants found each day of the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in Part I of the permit. Part II Page 12 of 14 6. Concentration Measurement a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges samples and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or 'measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average monthly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a .calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" or "Daily Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the.concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar week (Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. C. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a calendar day. It is identified as "Daily Maximum" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average yearly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar year. This limitation is identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. 7. Other Measurements 8. 9 Part II Page 13 of 14 a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow, averaged monthly: It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar month. b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge. Types of Samples a. Composite Sample: These samples consist of grab samples collected at equal intervals and combined proportional to flow, a sample continuously collected proportionally to flow, or equal volumes taken at varying time intervals. If a composite sample is obtained from grab samples, the following requirements apply. The intervals between influent grab samples shall be no greater than hourly. Intervals between effluent grab samples shall be no greater than hourly except where the detention time of the wastewater in the facility is greater than 24 hours, in which case, the interval between grab samples shall be no greater in number of hours than the detention time in number of days; provided, however, in no case may the time between effluent grab samples be greater than six hours nor the number of grab samples less than four during any discharge period of 24 hours or less. b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. Calculation of Means a. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the product of the individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values. The geometric mean is equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be considered to be one (1). C. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows. Part II Page 14 of 14 10. Calendar Day A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. 11. Hazardous Substance A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act. 12. Toxic Pollutant A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act. k PART III OTHER REQUIREMENTS A. Previous Permits t All previous State water quality permits issued to this fac:i.lity, whether for construction or operation or discharge, are hereby revoked by issuance of this permit. The conditions, requirements, terms, and provis:iou, of this permit authorizing discharge under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System govern discharges from this facility. B.

Certified Operator Pursuant to Chapter 90A of North Carolina Goneral Statutes, the permittee shall employ a certified wastewater treatment plant operator in responsible charge of the wastewater treatment facilities. Such -operator must hold a certification of the grade equivalent to or greater than the classification as—,igned to the wastewater treatment facilities. D. Groundwater Monitoring The permittee shall, upon written notice from the Director_ of the Division of Environmental Management, conduct groundwater monitoring as may he required to determine the compliance of this NPDES permitted t:acil..ity with the current groundwater standards. U . Li.mitat ions__ Reo1�enPr This permit shall be modified or al.ternat.i_vely, revoked anci reissued, to comply with any appli.rable effInent guideline or water qua ity ste:,'dard i�sseied or approved under Sections 302(b) (2) ic), at�d (d), 504, ) (2), and 3137(a) (2) of the Clean Water Act, if the effluent- guideline or water quality standard so issued or approved: 1. contains different conditions or is otherwise more. stringent than any effluent limitation in the permit; or 2. controls any pollutant not limited in the permit. The permit as modified or reissued under this paragraph shall also contain any other requirements in the Act then applicable. F. Toxicity Reopener Part III Permit No: NC0000507 This permit shall be modified, or revoked and reissued to incorporate toxicity limitations and monitoring requirements in the event toxicity testing or other studies conducted on the effluent or receiving stream indicate that detrimental effects may be expected in the receiving stream as a result of this discharge. G. Chronic Toxicity Testing Requirement The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity in any two consecutive toxicity tests, using test procedures outlined in: 1). The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic Bioassay Procedure - Revised *February 1987) or subsequent version. The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality is 72% (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document). The permit holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance with the permit condition. The first test will be performed after thirty days from issuance of this permit during the months of January, April, July, and October. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code TGP3B. Additionally, DEM from AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention: Technical Services Branch North Carolina Division of Environmental Management P.O. Box 27687 Raleigh, N.C. 27611 Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream. C Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.. Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be reopened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or.limits. NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate retesting (within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements. W1 N. The permittee shall conduct a test for pollutants annually at the effluent from the treatment plant. The discharge shall be evaluated as follows: 1) A pollutant analysis of the effluent must be completed annually using EPA approved methods for the following analytic fractions: (a) purgeables (i.e., volatile organic compounds); (b) acid extractables; (c) base/neutral extractables; (d) organochlorine pesticides and PCB's (e) herbicides; and (f) metals and other inorganics. The Annual Pollutant Analysis (APA) Monitoring Requirement Reporting Form A, to be provided to all discharges affected by this monitoring requirement, describes the sampling and analysis requirements and lists chemicals to be included in the pollutant analysis. This monitoring requirement is to be referred to as the "Annual Pollutant Analysis" (APA). 2) Other significant levels of synthetic organic chemicals must be identified and approximately quantified. For the purpose of implementing this requirement, the largest 10 GC/MS peaks in each organic chemical analytic fraction (or fewer than 10, if less than 10 unidentified peaks) occur for chemicals other than those specified on the APA Monitoring Requirement Reporting Form A should be identified and approximately quantified as stated in the APA Reporting Form A instructions. This part (item 2) of the APA monitoring requirement is to be referred to as the "10 significant peaks rule". Permit Reopener This permit shall be modified, or revoked and reissued to incorporate new effluent limitations and monitoring requirements in the event testing or other studies conducted on the effluent or receiving stream indicate that detrimental effects may be expected in the receiving stream as a result of this discharge. Within one year of permit issuance the permittee shall submit a report on the feasibility of eliminating this discharge by connection to the City of Hendersonville's sewer system. k. PART IV ANNUAL ADMINISTERING AND COMPLIANCE FEE REQUIREMENTS A. The permittee must pay the annual administering and compliance fee within 30 (thirty) days after being billed by the Division. Failure to pay the fee in a timely manner in accordance with 15 NCAC 2H .0105(b)(4) may cause this Division to initiate action to revoke the permit.

Introduction - This laboratory was inspected to verify its compliance with the requirements of NCAC 2H .0200 for the analysis of wastewater samples. II. General Comments: Laboratory space and equipment are adequate to do the analyses. Excellent bench sheets have been developed and record keeping is very good. A review of data was conducted. This consisted of comparing laboratory bench sheets and contract lab reports to DMRs and compliance report forms submitted to this Division. Data was reviewed for both the wastewater treatment system and the groundwater monitoring wells. The following items were noted: A. Monitoring Wells - All data is generated by a contract lab. Although not required, samples have been analyzed for silver. This data has not been reported. It is required that all data generated be reported. It is recommended that the feasibility of the contract lab lowering the minimum reporting level for phenols be investigated. Currently pbPnnls are reported to 50 ug/1. B.

Recommendations: The weighing of a low, medium, and high standard weight was not documented. This must be done. No blank was analyzed as required. Air must be drawn through the flask with an applied vacuum to ensure all Freon fumes are removed. Metals - A reagent blank is rum between each sample and standard. This is a very good lab technique but there is no documentation of it. It is recommended that this be documented. Oil & Grease - Since an emulsion is usually present, it is recommended that the extraction be filtered through sodium sulfate. See Standard Methods 17th Edition 5520B.4. IV. Conclusions: Overall the facility is doing a good job and appears to be producing quality data. Upon correction of the above deviations, all requirements of certification will be met. Implementing the recommendations will further improve the quality of the data. Report Prepared By:_Gary W.

Link, Regional Groundwater Supervisor Asheville Regional Office FROM: Kay Dechant, Hydrogeologist Asheville Regional Office SUBJECT: Groundwater Monitoring Requirements Permit No. NC0000507 General Electric Company Henderson County, North Carolina Enclosed, for George Everett's signature, is a letter requiring groundwater monitoring for compliance with NPDES Permit No. NC0000507 dated April 28, 1989. General Electric Company has been conducting groundwater compliance monitoring since NPDES Permit No. NC0000507, effective December 20, 1983, was modified (Attachment I) to require groundwater monitoring at the settling basins at the NPDES facility. Specific groundwater monitoring requirements were not included in the renewal of Permit No. NC0000507 Part III D. (Attachment II) issued April 28, 1989. The enclosed letter for George Everett's signature, serves as written notice for the effective groundwater monitoring requirements. As the result of compliance monitoring at this facility, groundwater contamination by chlorinated solvents was discovered in the upgradient monitor well (Attachment III) and Groundwater Incident No. 3481 investigation was initiated. The parameters for organic analyses specified in the enclosed letter are consistent with the ongoing incident investigation. If you�have any comments or questions, please call me.

Everett, Ph.D. Director Permit No. NC0000507 Part III D. issued on April 28, 1989, states that groundwater monitoring may be required to determine compliance with groundwater standards. This letter serves as written notice of groundwater monitoring requirements for Permit No. NC0000507. 1. The three (3) existing downgradient monitor wells (Q84p10, Q84p11, and Q84p12) and one (1) upgradient monitor well (Q84p9) shall be sampled every March, July, and November for the following parameters: TDS (500.)

The numbers in parentheses represent the maximum allowable concentrations in groundwater for the various analytical parameters, as specified in 15A NCAC 2L {Groundwater Classifications and Standards}. Unless otherwise specified, the units for these concentrations are expressed as milligrams per liter. If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/l are detected in any downgradient monitoring well, additional sampling and analysis must be conducted to identify the individual constituents comprising this TOC concentration. If the TOC concentration as measured in the background monitor well exceeds 10 mg/l, this concentration will be taken to represent the naturally,occurring TOC concentration. Any exceedances of this naturally occurring TOC concentration in the downgradient wells shall be subject to the additional sampling and analysis as described above. The results of the sampling and analysis shall be sent to the N. C. Division of Environmental Management on Form GW-59 {Compliance Monitoring Report Form} every April, August, and December.

Thomas Rhodes, Secretary Subject: Drum Holding Area and Underground Petroleum Product Storage General Electric Company Henderson County, North Carolina On September 5, 1985, I had a telephone conversation with Mr. Paul Chin of your Company, to discuss suggestions made by Mr. Roy Davis, Ms. Kay Dechant, and me with the Division of Environmental Management, on our tour of the General Electric Company on July 9, 1985, in regard to ways to minimize possible groundwater contamination from the plant's operation. Mr. Chin informed me that the Company was ready to begin construction of a concrete pad with a spill retaining curb around the drum storage area but was concerned about what to do with the precipitation buildup on the pad. In this case, the most viable alternative would be to put a roof over the concrete pad. While on the site on July 9, 1985, we discussed tank tests for several underground petroleum storage tanks on the property. It was indicated to us at that time that the Company had considered tank tests but were inclined to wait until regulations regarding existing tanks were adopted as the Company did not want to run repeat tests. We were informed that there were some monitor wells installed at some of the tanks in the past, but they had not been sampled since their installation. I would strongly suggest that water samples be taken from these wells to.check for the presence of odor or free petroleum products. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

LSD I contacted Mr. Yarborough concerning subject site. Mr. Yarborough indicated that there probably is not much information-documented"on pre-1980 hazardous waste disposal. G. E. also generates a substantial quantity of PCB wastes which is now sent to Emelle, Alabama for burial. G.E. has installed a number of groundwater monitoring wells around underground storage tanks and sludge lagoons, although not required to by DHS or DEM..

Mr. Yarborough did not volunteer any information concerning past practices or problems resulting from these practices, .(ORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY AT _�-L:-r�- SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE AND LIFE SCIENCES DEPARTMENT OF SOIL SCIENCE Box 5907 ZIP 27607 PHONE: (919) 137-;.r6555 / / /2 I' F?J� ( I February 12, 1976 Q�v E' VF4 Mr. Richard Turner r r General Electric Company Hendersonville, North Carolina 28739oo <<ti Gf ,o Dear Mr. Turner:. The studies you referred to concerning sludge application on land at High Point, North Carolina have been underway only a short time and, consequently, we have collected minimum data so far. I am enclosing a copy of the letter and data.summary which I recently sent to the regional office of DNER outlining the progress at High Point. Concerning your sludge problem from the newly constructed wastewater pollution control plant at General Electric, I see no major problems of land spreading this material if the flow rates and chemical makeup of the sludge are as you show and suitable land area can be used. The basis for my calculations are as follows: Sludge Characteristics Solids- - 50 lbs/day 18,250 lbs/yr 10% liquid basis P (ortho)- 15 lbs/day 5,500 lbs/yr 3% liquid basis Fe - - - - 10 lbs/day 3,650 lbs/yr 2% liquid basis Zn - - - -1.5 lbs/day 550 lbs/yr 0.3% liquid basis Ni - - - - 0.5 lbs/day 183 lbs/yr 0.10% liquid basis Cu - - -- 0.2 lbs/day 73 lbs/yr 0.04% liquid basis Cr - - -• 0.1 lbs/day 37 lbs/yr 0.02% liquid basis For sludges that contain significant quantities of heavy metals, the application rate is determined by the total loading of heavy metals which can be applied to a particular soil without creating toxic conditions for the crop or significant pollution in the ground or surface waters. There have been several emperical equations developed for estimating this maximum loading but the one used most often relates the sludge, in terms of zinc equivalents, to the cation exchange capacity (CEC) of the soil. This equation is based on studies that show copper is generally twice as toxic as zinc and nickel is four times as toxic as zinc to most crops and that we could add toxic metals up to 5 percent of the CEC of the soil without harmful effects. The total accumulative sludge load that can be applied per acre is then determined by the following equation: CEC x 32,600 Dry tons of Sludge.= ppm Zn + (2) ppm Cu + (4) ppm Ni - 300 f Mr. Richard Turner Page 2 February 12, 1976 Based on a CEC of 5, which approximates the average of surface soils in your area, the following rates were calculated for the sludge applications: Dry tons of Sludge = 5(32,600) 3000+ 2 400 + 4 000 - 300 163,000 500 Dry tons of Sludge = 21.7 tons/acre Since these metals accumulate in the soil, 21.7 tons of dry solids per acre is the total sludge loading which may be safely applied to the land at the General Electric site without creating heavy metal toxicity. This says nothing about yearly application rates, which gets us to the next area of concern, that of phosphorus loadings. While acid soils such as is found in your area, are very efficient adsorbers of phosphates, adding very large quantities of PO to soils at one loading may cause some short-term problems such as induced Aeficl encies of other elements, or some transport of PO to drainage waters. The long-term effect of continuous loadings should 4 produce few problems, however, because of this tremendous capacity of soils to adsorb and remove P from solution. If we look at the combined problem*of heavy metals and high P'loadings, it would appear to me that the best management program would be one of sludge application on grass such as fescue with yearly applications spread ,over about 10 acres. This land area would handle your sludge output at the rate of 10 tons/year for the next 20 years without creating heavy metal problems and the annual rate of PO of 550 lbs per acre should create no short- term or long-term problems. By spreading the sludge at the very light rate of 1 ton per acre per year, this falls below loading rates where the EPA would require a detailed monitoring of the field. This loading also allows light applications which will dry quickly and minimize odor .development or surface movement of solids from the field. This is not to preclude the use of higher application rates on a smaller acreage if a detailed site monitoring program is implemented and sludge applications are well planned. However, if the land area is readily available, the larger field could be easily managed with a minimum of nuisance.. With such a small volume of waste, a minimum of equipment will be required for handling. A small honey wagon, such as is used for liquid animal wastes would do an adequate job of hauling and spreading.

Information concerning CERCLA hazardous substance releases at your plant site such as spills of feedstocks, leaking storage tanks, or other releases (include locations on a map) and description of any remedial actions undertaken. Enclosed is a letter dated January 21, 1983 to the Division of Environmental Management concerning a release of an estimated 1,400 gallons of #2 fuel oil on January 19, 1984. An unknown quantity of this material entered a wastewater holding pond via a storm drain. Incorporation of absorbent pads prevented this material from entering Bat Fork Creek. No .other records have been discovered concerning releases which may have occurred in the past since the beginning of manufacturing operations at this site in 1955. Attached is a list of all.existing underground storage tanks depicting material stored, tank status, storage capacity, approximate locations, and presence of sampling wells. Additionally, a topographical map depicting actual locations has been attached. Materials have been and continue to be stored in underground storage tanks. Pressure tests.to determine integrity of the various storage tanks have not been performed. Item 4. Provide a map of the site with the location of any monitoring wells, production wells, or sump pump wells located on your property. Monitoring wells in existence at this site total sixteen (16) in number. Included in this quantity are wells installed adjacent to underground storage tanks (4) and wells installed in four areas where wastewater treatment sludge was land applied (12). Wells present in areas used for land application of sludge are grouped as three units, each well to a varying depth.- Actual locations of these monitoring wells are depicted on the attached topographical map. - 1 - Item S. Provide chemical analysis results for any site monitoring that has indicated contamination of soil, groundwater, or sediments. Site monitoring has been conducted in the wells depicted above which were utilized to monitor those areas where wastewater treatment sludges were land applied. Attached are results of tests conducted by General Electric Company and the Department of Natural Resources & Community Development on various occasions between August 14, 1979 and August 11, 1981. Although these wells are in existence at the present time land application of sludge materials was discontinued in 1982. However, in October, 1983 samples were collected for analysis by the Department of Natural Resources & Community Development. Results of this sampling program have not been received by General Electric. Records depicting the land application program have also been attached for your review. - 2 - GENERAL ELECTRIC LIGHTING SYSTEMS GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY, HENDERSONVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA 28739 DEPARTMENT January 21, 1983, 1984 Division of Environmental Management` Water Quality Section P. 0.
