Treatment Facility History — The former Textron facility in Gastonia is a GW-REM system designed to
remove volatile organic compounds pumped from groundwater via an array of recovery wells. In 2011, DWR
calculated the discharge IWC at 39.24 %. This 0.300 MGD treatment system originally consisted of two (2)
air -stripping units with a third unit available as backup. In 2011 the Permittee reduced flow to 0.100 MGD
utilizing a single four -tray air stripper. The current renewal application (March 03, 2020) states that the
system includes no chemical additives, produces no solids or bio-sludge, and proposes no increase in flow
since last renewal.

Basin Plan and Instream Data Review — Since 2011 the entire 0.4-mile UT stream segment (from its source
to Crowders Creek) is listed as Impaired by undefined causes. More recently [303d list 2018], DWR notes
poor instream habitat, possible toxicity, and evidence of nutrient enrichment.
Instream Monitoring — This facility does not perform in -stream monitoring — based on the above record, no
changes recommended.
Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) Testing - Compliance Review - Based on BIMS records, the Division has
issued no limit or monitoring violations to this facility since March of 2006. WET -test history (Jan2016 to
Apr202O) shows seventeen (17) Quarterly chronic tests [TG3PB) indicating "pass." No changes
recommended.
Effluent Data Review - Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA) — Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs)
appear regular and complete (Jan2016-Jun2020). The Permittee supplied annual analytical results for EPA Test
Method 601 indicating regular, but trace detections only, of total chlorinated compounds (EPA 601) above
method -detection levels (MDLs). Traces include 1,1 DCA, 1,1,2-DCE, cis- 1,1,2 DCA, and TCA. These data
suggest no reasonable potential to exceed respective surface water -quality standards [see Application
Summary of Recent Analytical Results — NPDES Discharge 0011.
Renewal Changes — Based on trace detections of multiple compounds, renewal will continue to require
Quarterly monitoring of Test Method EPA 601 to facilitate future compliance evaluation [see permit
section A. (L)].
Renewal 2020 Summary
1. Updated facility description and map
2. Updated text for eDMR compliance
3. Updated text WET testing text
4. eDMR reporting - added footnote to A. (1.) requiring the
Permittee to list any VOC detected in eDMR.
5. No further changes recommended.

Subject: Request for Renewal of NPDES Permit NCO084662
Former Homelite/Former John Deere Facility Waste Water Treatment Plant (Groundwater
Remediation)
Gastonia, Gaston County, North Carolina
Dear Ms. Thedford,
On behalf of Textron, Inc. (Textron), AECOM Technical Services of North Carolina, Inc. (AECOM) is
requesting renewal of National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES Permit)
NCO084662 for the groundwater treatment system located at the former Homelite/former John
Deere Consumer Products facility in Gastonia, Gaston County, North Carolina.
Textron relocated the NPDES outfall as specified in the Request for Minor Permit Modification
submitted to NPDES Complex Permitting Unit on June 6, 2014. As specified in this letter, and
approved by e-mail on June 9, 2014, the outfall was moved to a new location approximately 50 feet
downstream of the previous NPDES outfall. The outfall relocation was completed during the week
of June 15, 2015. The current NPDES outfall location is shown on the attached Figure 1, and the
former and current outfall locations are shown on the attached Figure 2.
No solids or sludges are generated by the treatment process. Therefore, no special handling or
disposal of generated solids/sludges is required.
Attached is the electronic signature agreement including the delegation of signature authority dated
May 23, 2019 and July 12, 2019, respectively. Textron has delegated signature authority for
NPDES correspondence to the AECOM Project Managers (Nick Shore and Erin Stewart). Also
attached are the required application and documentation necessary for renewal of the permit.
If you have any questions regarding this application for renewal please contact either Nick Shore
[phone] or Erin Stewart [phone].

The MRO would like to extend its thanks to Mr. Jon Wakeman for taking the time to provide assistance during the
October 17, 2018, inspection. Enclosed you will find the report for the compliance inspection. The treatment and
disposal system appears to be performing within the permit requirements.
During the site visit, mention was made regarding the potential of rebound studies being conducted at older release
sites. As stipulated in the permit in Part 3 Other Requirements, Section D. Facility Closure Requirements, please
notify the DWR regional office if you plan system shut -down activity.
The report should be self-explanatory. Should you have any questions regarding this report, feel free to contact

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
A Compliance Inspection was performed on October 17, 2018, for the Textron facility under permit
NC0084662. The facility appears to be in good condition and operating within the specifications of the
permit. The outfall area was reviewed. No foam, color or solids were observed in the outfall.
Prior to the site visit, a file review was performed of the eDMR records for the period of January 2018
through August 2018. Laboratory analytical data was reviewed for the period of 10/2017 through
9/2018. No violations were observed in the review. The records are up to date. Laboratory analytical
data indicates the system is performing well and the effluent water meets 2B surface water standards.
The inspector requested to be notified if Textron is contacted regarding the implementation of a
rebound study for this facility.
Mr. Wakeman was gracious enough to forward a copy of the 2018 Annual Report that he supplies to
DWM, IHSB group.
The recovery well located inside the chainlink fenced was reviewed. Moisture was observed to be
present in the gallery, but there was no standing water.

A. (2). CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to
Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 66%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarter lX monitoring using test procedures outlined in the "North Carolina
Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent versions or "North Carolina
Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The tests will
be performed 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.
If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV below the permit limit, then
multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in each of the two following months as described in
"North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent
versions.
The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the highest concentration
having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest concentration that does have a detectable
impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of "detectable impairment," collection methods, exposure regimes,
and further statistical methods are specified in the "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test
Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring
Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the parameter code TGP313 for the pass/fail results and
THP313 for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Quality
Environmental Sciences Section
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no later than 30 days after
the end of the reporting period for which the report is made.
Test data shall be complete, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all
concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved designate signature. Total
residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of
the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, the
permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test form indicating the facility name,
permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the report with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area
of the form. The report shall be submitted to the Environmental Sciences Section at the address cited above. Should the
permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, monitoring will be required during the
following month.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality
indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re -opened 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, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an
invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month
following the month of the initial monitoring.
