HomeMy WebLinkAboutNCS000386_Email RE WWT Demo Status_20201204Georgoulias, Bethany From: Bryson, Stacy (S) <SBryson@dow.com> Sent: Friday, December 4, 2020 1:21 PM To: Khan, Zahid; McCoy, Suzanne; Georgoulias, Bethany; james moore; Chandler, Jeffrey A Cc: Kreps, Sandra (SE); Lucas, Annette; Gamble, Aana C Subject: RE: [External] RE: Rohm and Haas Chemicals LLC - Charlotte Site - NPDES Permit NCS000386 CAUTION: External email. Do not click links or open attachments unless you verify. Send all suspicious email as an attachment to Report Spam. Update: WWT demo is done except for final debris removal and clean up. I plan on putting in the recission request this afternoon if time permits (or Monday if not). Mr. Moore/Mr. Chandler: Do you think there is any way possible the site visit could occur sometime between Tuesday afternoon and Friday. Again, I apologize as I hate "drop everything and help me" requests myself. We anticipate that there will be no Dow employees on site after Friday, December 11. Unfortunately, we've had little ability ourselves to modify the pre- defined decommission and sale schedule. THANKS!

Do not click links or open attachments unless you verify. Send all suspicious email as an attachment to report.spam@nc.gov The good news is that the final decommission of the waste water system is going quickly, and we hope to have it done by this weekend or next Monday. That will allow me to make the recission request earlier. We plan on having Dow representatives on site until the end of next week. As of now, we anticipate the sale going through before the holidays. Zahid: Do you think there is any way someone could do the site inspection later next week? I do apologize for the request as I understand everyone is very busy. We have not been given much latitude with the decommission and sale schedules. THANKS!

Stacy, The company will need to do its best to request rescission as soon as possible upon completion of demolition activities on 12/17. 1 am copying the Regional Engineer with the Mooresville Regional Office so he can be prepared to send staff to verify closure for a rescission inspection ahead of the 12/23 sale. Thank you for letting us know about the probable timeframe. Regards, Bethany Georgoulias Environmental Engineer Stormwater Program, Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources N.C.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you verify. Send all suspicious email as an attachment to report.spam@nc.gov Touching base to provide the most recent update on site activities. We have completed decommission of the site with the exception of the pump out of one maintenance wastewater sump (to be shipped as waste via vacuum truck), and that is anticipated to occur next week. Since my last communication, we have learned that the wastewater treatment area will be demolished as a stand-alone activity versus a full demolition project. This will consist of removal of structures with heavy equipment and fill in of basins with gravel (no excavation). As a result, the potential stormwater impact is primarily the use of heavy equipment (e.g., oil leaks). We intended to manage this as we have the other decommission activities with an addendum to our SWPPP outlining the demolition plan information, hazards, and safeguards to be employed. The wastewater treatment demolition is to begin this week and be complete by 12/17 with closing on the final sale of the site tentatively slated for 12/23. That timeframe leaves very little time to apply for rescinding the permit and site inspection following the end of the demolition activities. In addition, we will have no personnel on site after demolition is completed. Any advice you can provide on how to manage this situation to ensure ongoing compliance and also meet the permit closure process considering the current timeline is GREATLY appreciated. I will be at the Charlotte site all day Thursday and Friday morning this week if you would like to see the current site status. I can also be reached at the number below and on my cell at 865-207-1157. Thanks in advance for your input!
