Section D:Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary) Staff from the MRO visited the former SKF facility. We were not able to gain access to the two onsite recovery wells as the well out protective covers were locked and no key was available to open the locks. This system was shut down in 2008 and the system has be placed into an inoperative state. Except for the removal of system plumbling,the primary components of the system are present. As the system has been inactive for almost ten years, a good deal of work would be required to place the system back into an operational state should the permittee ever wish to reactivate the system. The permittee applied for a permit renewal in June 2015. The renewal application is currently listed as in Review status with Central Ofice Permitting. Due to permitting back log,renewal process is delayed. • Page# 2 Permit: NC0004260 Owner-Facility: SKF Gastonia Facility Inspection Date: 03/02/2017 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Operations& Maintenance Yes No NA NE Is the plant generally clean with acceptable housekeeping? ❑ ❑ III ❑ Does the facility analyze process control parameters,for ex: MLSS, MCRT, Settleable ❑ ❑ II ❑ Solids, pH, DO,Sludge Judge, and other that are applicable?

Treatment system piping has been removed and therefore the system has been made to be inoperable. There are currently no plans to restart the system in the near future. During the inspection,the out fall pipe was not found. There appears to be a storm drain pipe that is located behind the guard shack where the treament system is housed. The pipe was damaged during re-paving operations of a couple of years ago. It would be recommended that should the system be reactived, system discharge be connected to a nearby storm drain. Currently, the outfall appears to be connected to an intermittant stream channel. No discharge was noted to be occurinq at the time of the site visit. Should the system be brought back online,the MRO would need to be present at system startup. Page# 3 PAT MCCRORY NrilZ> Governor DONALD R. VAN DER VAART Sea elan r Water Resources S.

S Lansdale, PA 19446 E �"�CR���OFFICE Subject: NPDES Electronic Reporting Requirements and Sixty Day Notice of Minor Modification of the NPDES Permit SKF Gastonia Facility NPDES Permit Number: NC0004260 Dear NPDES Permittee: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) recently published the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Electronic Reporting Rule.The rule requires NPDES regulated facilities to report information electronically, instead of filing written paper reports.The rule does not change what information is required from facilities. It only changes the method by which information is provided (i.e., electronic rather than paper-based). EPA is phasing in the requirements of the rule over a 5-year period. The two phases of the rule, and their key milestones, are: • Phase 1—Starting on December21,2016, regulated entities that are required to submit Discharge Monitoring Reports(DMRs)will begin submitting these reports electronically, instead of on paper. If you are currently reporting your DMR data electronically using eDMR,then you simply need to continue reporting in the same way as you are now. The key change is that, starting on December 21, 2016, electronic reporting of DMRs will be required, instead of voluntary. • Phase 2—Starting on December 21,2020, regulated entities that are required to submit certain other NPDES reports will begin submitting these reports electronically, instead of on paper. Reports covered in the second phase include Notices of Intent to discharge in compliance with an NPDES general permit,Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports, and a number of other NPDES program reports. For more information on EPA's NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule,visit http://www2.epa.gov/compliance/final-national-pollutant-discharge-elimination-system-npdes- electronic-reporting-rule. For more information on electronic reporting to NC DWR,visit http://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/edmr/npdes-electronic-reporting or contact Vanessa Manuel at 919-807-6392 or via email at Vanessa.Manuel@ncdenr.gov. L State of North Carolina I Environmental Quality I Water Resources 1611 Mail service Center I Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1611 919 707 9000 Sixty Days' Notice of Minor Modification of the Subject NPDES Permit The NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule requires authorized NPDES programs to incorporate electronic reporting requirements into NPDES permits beginning December 21, 2015. Under the new rule,the electronic reporting process supersedes the paper reporting process outlined in your existing permit. To bring your permit up-to-date with the new reporting requirements,this letter serves to notify you that in sixty days your NPDES permit will be modified to incorporate the new electronic reporting requirements. The modification will require electronic reporting in place of paper-based reporting. Electronic reporting will be required beginning as indicated above for Phases 1 and 2 reporting. Please attach the enclosed NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Part 111—Addendum to your permit. This permit modification becomes effective on July 1,2016. All other terms and conditions in the original permit remain unchanged and in full effect. This modification 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 October 15, 2007. If any parts contained in this modification are unacceptable to you,then you have the right to file a petition for a contested case with the Office of Administrative Hearings within thirty(30) days following receipt of this letter. This petition must conform to the requirements of Chapter 150E of the North Carolina General Statutes. Petitions must be timely filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, Post Office Drawer 11666, Raleigh, North Carolina 27604. If you do not file a petition within the required time, the agency decision shall be final and binding.

This permit is for a ground water remediation pump and treat system at the former CR Industries site in Gastonia, NC. Similar to the prior renewal the ground water remediation system has not been used since March 2008. While there are no immediate plans to restart the system, we wish to renew the permit to allow use should the need arise. This submittal includes one original and two copies of the following information: • This cover letter requesting renewal of the permit and documenting changes at the facility since issuance of the last permit. • The completed application form, signed by the permittee. • This narrative description of the sludge management plan for the facility: Because this system uses air stripping as the treatment mechanism to remove volatile contaminants, the system does not produce wastewater treatment sludge.

In determining whether a remission request will be approved,the following factors shall be considered: (1) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-282.1(b)were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner; (2) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation; • (3) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident; (4) the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; (5) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions. Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details regarding the case status,directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions(Committee).

The penalty was assessed for effluent toxicity testing failures on February 19th, 2008 and March 18th, 2008. We do not dispute the permit exceedances but request remission of the civil penalty because the failures were accidental and appropriate steps were taken promptly to abate potential damage to the environment The enclosed explanation, excellent 0&M records (attached), and successful nine year operating history provide tremendous credibility regarding the thoughtfulness and expertise of our operations team. We have attached completed a Justification for Remission Request form and a Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing and Stipulation of Facts form in Appendix A. A brief history of the site remedial system and a detailed justification for our request is outlined below: SKF USA Inc. 1111,Adams Ave,Norrr•town.PA 19403 Tel 610 630-2800. Fax 610 630-2801. Web www.skfusa.com 07/07/2008 07:46 9197438517 DWQESS PAGE 03/19 Environmental Sciences Branch June 16, 2008 Page 2 Background Information The site ground water treatment system started fulltime operation in August 1999. The system includes two ground water recovery wells that pump ground water contaminated with chlorinated solvents into an air stripper system for treatment The system discharges approximately 1,000 gallons of treated effluent per day into Crowders Creek (a Class C water body). Refer to Figure 1 for a site location map. The original NPDES permit required analysis for select volatile organic compounds (chloroform, trans-1,2-dichloroethene, 1,2-dichloropropane, methylene chloride, tetrachloroethene, and trichloroethene and a Chronic Toxicity Ceriadaphnia test with an effluent concentration of 0.33 %. Note that there were no permit exceedances under the original permit using the Ceriadaphnia toxicity testing. The NPDES permit was renewed in June 2002. The renewed permit required the same effluent VOC analysis but changed the toxicity testing to the Acute Toxicity Fathead Minnow test with an effluent concentration of 90%. During the first quarter of 2003 there were two fathead minnow mortalities exceeding the permit level (<10% mortality). At the suggestion of our toxicity laboratory, and with concurrence of the DENR Environmental Science Branch, we completed a metals scan which indicated total copper (Cu) concentrations as high as 90 ug/l in the effluent samples. The laboratory indicated that Cu Levels above 80 ug/l u+,ere toxic to fathead minnows. Therefore, we shut the remedial system off to perform an investigation from May 27, 2003 through February 6, 2004. As part of this investigation we sampled the site recovery wells, bedrock monitoring wells, the influent holding tank, a sample port after the transfer pump, and at the final effluent port for metals analysis. Results indicated no significant background copper or elevated concentrations in the recovery wells but an increase was noted through the remedial system. We determined that several of the treatment system components (transfer pump internals, flow meter, valves, sample port, etc.) were constructed of bronze and brass and we replaced the components with other metals such as stainless steel. We also determined that sediment in the influent holding tank (also referred to as the surge tank) may also contribute to elevated copper levels and implemented a regular 0&M schedule to clean the surge/influent tank and the influent particulate bag filter. 07/07/2008 07:46 9197438517 DWQESS PAGE 04/19 Environmental Sciences Branch June 1.6, 2008 Page 3 In the four years of operating since the copper-containing parts were replaced and regular sediment cleaning was performed, only one permit violation (again relating to Fathead Minnow toxicity) occurred which indicated that our investigation and actions were highly successful. It is important to note that we have not had a VOC detection in the effluent samples since the remediation system was started indicating the system has been properly maintained. This February 19, 2008 failure is the second Fathead Minnow toxicity failure since the copper-containing equipment was replaced and the O&M cleaning schedule was implemented. Summary of Actions Relating to the February 2008 Permit Violation Prior to the quarterly effluent sampling on February 19. 2008, we conducted our typical particulate bag fitter replacement and no significant accumulation was observed in the surge tank (refer to the February 15, 2008 Operations and Maintenance (0&M) log in Appendix B). After we received the failing toxicity results from the laboratory in late-February, the Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) inspected the site and found a damaged and partially corroded flow meter(mechanical type flow meter with nickel-plated internal parts). During this visit, the ORC also observed additional sediment in the surge tank. On March 7, 2008, the site ORC replaced the damaged flow meter with a turbine flow meter constructed of PVC. Refer to the March 7, 2008 O&M log in Appendix B and the flow meter purchase receipt and specifications in Appendix C. During the March 7, 2008 site visit, the ORC also cleaned sediment from the surge tank and replaced the particulate bag filter. We also requested that the toxicity laboratory complete metals analysis on the effluent sample collected on February 19, 2008. Metals data from the February 2008 sample indicated no significantly elevated metals. Refer to Appendix D for a copy of the laboratory data from February 19,2008. Summary of Actions Relating to the March 2008 Permit Violation As required by the permit, an additional effluent sample was collected on March 18, 2008. This sample also indicated a reduced minnow mortality (25 % in March 2008 vs. 35 % in February 2008 mortality) exceeded permitted levels. The laboratory toxicity analytical data was completed and reported to our consultant on March 24, 2008. The March 18, 2008 toxicity laboratory data sheet included in your May 28, 2008 letter indicates the date the test was completed on the upper right had corner. The remediation system was shut off the same day that the laboratory data was reported. Refer to the March 24, 2008 O&M sheet in Appendix B indicating the system was turned off. No effluent has been discharged from the site since March 24, 2008. 07/07/2008 07:46 9197438517 DWQESS PAGE 05/19 Environmental Sciences Branch June 16,2008 Page 4 As indicated in the April and May 2008 Discharge Monitoring Reports, we have decided to leave the remediation system off and monitor the site ground water for natural attenuation. If the remediation system is restarted we will complete additional evaluation to determine the cause of the toxicity failures. Therefore,we request that you grant a remission of the civil penalty for this site. We feel that we have demonstrated that these permit violations were accidental and that we responded promptly to abate continued environmental damage resulting from the violation s.

You should take whatever remedial actions are necessary to eliminate the conditions causing the effluent toxicity violation(s). Your efforts may include conducting a Toxicity Reduction Evaluation (TRE), a site-specific study designed to identify the causative agents of effluent toxicity, isolate the sources of toxicity, evaluate the effectiveness of toxicity control options, and confirm reductions in effluent toxicity. Please be aware that North Carolina General Statutes provide for assessment of civil penalties for violations of NPDES permit limitations and requirements. The reverse side of this Notice contains important information concerning your Whole Effluent Toxicity Monitoring and Reporting Requirements. Please note appropriate mailing addresses for submitting your Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) and Aquatic Toxicity (AT) Test Forms. We encourage you to review this information; if it would be helpful to discuss this situation or possible solutions to resolve effluent toxicity noncompliance, please contact Mr. John Giorgino with this office at(919) 743-8441.

I have attached Kevin's response to you regarding the two outstanding items summarized below: Item 1)No site visit was indicated on the November 2005 DMR for the week of November - -- 27-December 3,2005; and Item 2) No site visit was indicated on the June 2006 DMR for the week of June 18-24, 2006. Regarding Item 11 Kevin visited the site on December 2, 2005 and has provided a completed O&M sheet for that day. We have also provided you with his time sheet and company vehicle `•'`!' log both indicating that a trip was made to the site on December 2, 2005. - • "' Regarding Item 2) No site visit was conducted the week of June 18-24, 2006 because the system had shut down with NO effluent discharge. This system has an auto-dialer that alerts us remotely that the system is off and of any alarm conditions. Kevin was on vacation that week and recalled that since the system was off due to an apparent electrical issue that we decided to leave it off until he returned and could properly diagnose the problem the following Monday (6/26). You will see on the attached logs that the system was found OFF on 6/26. It ,. is also evident that only 1,643 gallons flowed through the system during the period of 6/12 n.���!' through 6/27/06 which is less than two typical days of flow(typically 900-1,100 per day) • Please contact me if this information is unclear or if you need additional information.

Although I feel the field inspection portion went very well, I know that you had some questions about site visitation during two separate weeks(11/27—12/3/05 and 6/18--6/24/06). After arriving back at the office and reviewing Time Sheets,Field Notes,Vehicle Usage Reports, and going thru material in my office,I believe that I have found the information that you were requesting. Permit Required Site Visit Week of 11/27/05 thru 1213/05 I made a site O&M visit to the former CR Industries on 12/2/05. I made this visit during a day in which I did O&M work on three separate sites CR Industries(also referred to as Coltec& SKF-USA)located in Gastonia, a former ExxonMobil Terminal located in Spartanburg, and a third site located in Kings Mountain(Dawson). I frequently bundled these three sites together based on their proximity to each other_ In addition to the field O&M log for CR Industries which I was able to locate(it was out of order in my O&M Log Book),I am also including as back up documentation,a copy of my Vehicle Mileage log showing that I was on these three sites on 12/2/05, and a copy of my time sheet ending 12/2/05 also collaborating that I performed an O&M visit on I2/2/05. Permit Required Site Visit Week of 6/18/06 thru 6/24/0006 I made a site visit on 6/12/06 and had to restart the system due to it shutting down from an electrical outage.The totalizing Flow Meter(FM)reading at this time was 24,094 gallons.Based on what I recall,Flow Meter Readings, and Time Sheets,the system shut down two days later on 6/14/06 and I was notified via the auto dialer located on the system. I was out of town at the time,and was scheduled for vacation the following week(6/18-6/23/06)so it was decided to leave the system off till I returned from vacation. I made a site visit the Monday that I returned to work(6/26/06)and restarted the system(FM reading=25,737 gallons). This FM reading also provides documentation that the system was not in operation during this period since only 1,643 gallons were pumped over this 14 day period(the system averages approximately 1,100 gallons per day when it is operating). I am including a copy of the O&M logs dated 6/12 and 6/26/06, my time sheet the week Of 6/17-6/23/06 showing that I was on vacation, and a check of the DMR for the month of June will confirm the volume of water pumped. I appreciate the opportunity you gave me to provide you with documentation regarding the dates mentioned above. I hope that the information I have provided will be sufficient, however if you have any comments or questions,please do not hesitate contacting me at 704-560-6257,or Chad Grubbs(Project Manager)at 704-887-4604.

WWTP Gaston County Dear Mr.McGlocklin: This is to inform you that a review of your toxicity self-monitoring report form for the month of February 2006 indicates a violation of the toxicity limitation specified in your NPDES Permit. You should take whatever remedial actions are necessary to eliminate the conditions causing the effluent toxicity violation(s). Your efforts may include conducting a Toxicity Reduction Evaluation (TRE), a site-specific study designed to identify the causative agents of effluent toxicity, isolate the sources of toxicity, evaluate the effectiveness of toxicity control options, and confirm reductions in effluent toxicity. Please be aware that North Carolina General Statutes provide for assessment of civil penalties for violations of NPDES permit limitations and requirements. The reverse side of this Notice contains important information concerning your Whole Effluent Toxicity Monitoring and Reporting Requirements. Please note appropriate mailing addresses for submitting your Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) and Aquatic Toxicity (AT) Test Forms. We encourage you to review this information; if it would be helpful to discuss this situation or possible solutions to resolve effluent toxicity noncompliance, please contact me or Mr.Kevin Bowden with this office at(919)733-2136. Sincerely, Matt Matthews Aquatic Toxicology Unit Supervisor cc: Rex Gleason-Mooresville Regional.Office John Lesley-Mooresville Regional Office Aquatic Toxicology Unit Central Files _Dne Carolina turally North Carolina Division of Water Quality 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh,NC 27699-1621 Phone(919)733-2136 Customer Service Internet www.esb.enr.state.nc.us 4401 Reedy Creek Rd.

Please take time to review this information.The items below do not address or include all the toxicity testing and reporting requirements contained in your NPDES permit. If you should have any questions about your toxicity testing requirement,please contact Mr.Kevin Bowden with the Aquatic Toxicology Unit at(919)733-2136 or another Unit representative at the same number. > The permittee is responsible for ensuring that toxicity testing is conducted according to the permit requirement and that toxicity report forms are appropriately filed. ➢ The reporting of whole effluent toxicity testing data is a dual requirement. All toxicity test results must be entered(with the appropriate parameter code)on your monthly Discharge Monitoring Report which is submitted to: North Carolina Division of Water Quality Central Files 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh,NC 27699-1617 IN ADDITION Toxicity test data(original"AT"form)must be submitted to the following address: North Carolina Division of Water Quality Environmental Sciences Section 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1621 ➢ Toxicity test results shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period(eg,January test result is due by the end of February). > Toxicity test condition language contained in your NPDES permit may require use of multiple concentration toxicity testing upon failure of any single quarterly toxicity test. If the initial pass/fail test fails or if the chronic value is lower than the permit limit,then at least two multiple concentration toxicity tests(one per month)will be conducted over the following two months. As many analyses as can be completed will be accepted. If your NPDES permit does not require use of multiple concentration toxicity testing upon failure of any single quarterly test, you may choose to conduct either single concentration toxicity testing or multiple concentration toxicity testing per the Division's WET enforcement initiatives effective July 1, 1999. Follow-up multiple concentration toxicity testing will influence the Division's enforcement response. ➢ Toxicity testing months are specified by the NPDES Permit,except for NPDES Permits which contain episodic toxicity monitoring requirements(eg,if the testing months specified in your NPDES permit are March,June,September,and December,then toxicity testing must be conducted during these months). > If your NPDES Permit specifies episodic monitoring and your facility does not have a discharge from January 1-June 30,then you must provide written notification to the Environmental Sciences Section by June 30 that a discharge did not occur during the first six months of the calendar year. ➢ If you receive notification from your contract laboratory that a test was invalidated,you should immediately notify the Environmental Sciences Section at(919)733-2136 and provide written documentation indicating why the test was invalidated and the date when follow-up testing will occur. ➢ If your facility is required to conduct toxicity testing during a month in which no discharge occurs,you should complete the information block located at the top of the AT form indicating the facility name,permit number,pipe number,county and the month/year of the subject report. You should also write"No Flow"on the AT form, sign the form and submit following normal procedures. ➢ The Aquatic Toxicity Test forms shall be signed by the facility's Operator in Responsible Charge(ORC)except for facilities which have not received a facility classification. In these cases,a duly authorized facility representative must sign the AT form. The AT form must also be signed by the performing lab supervisor. ➢ To determine if your AT test forms were received on time by the Division of Water Quality,you may consider submitting your toxicity test results certified mail,return receipt requested to the Environmental Sciences Section.

You should take whatever remedial actions are necessary to eliminate the conditions causing the effluent toxicity violation(s). Your efforts may include conducting a Toxicity Reduction Evaluation (TRE) which is a site-specific study designed to identify the causative agents of effluent toxicity, isolate the sources of toxicity, evaluate the effectiveness of toxicity control options, and then confirm reductions in effluent toxicity. Please be aware that North Carolina General Statutes provide for assessment of civil penalties for violations of NPDES permit limitations and requirements. The reverse side of this Notice contains important information concerning your Whole Effluent Toxicity Monitoring and Reporting Requirements. Please note updated mailing addresses for submitting your Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) and Aquatic Toxicity (AT) Test Forms. We encourage you to review this information and if it would be helpful to discuss this situation or possible solutions to resolve effluent toxicity noncompliance, please contact Mr. John Lesley with this office at (704) 663- 1699. Sincerely, �r r244 D. Rex Gleason,P.E. Regional Water Quality Supervisor cc: Aquatic Toxicology Unit Central Files 4 WHOLE EFFLUENT TOXICITY MONITORING AND REPORTING INFORMATION > The following items are provided in an effort to assist you with identifying critical and sometimes overlooked toxicity testing and reporting information. Please take time to review this information. The items below do not address or include all the toxicity testing and reporting requirements contained in your NPDES permit. If you should have any questions about your toxicity testing requirement. piease contact Mr. Kevin Bowden with the Aquatic Toxicology Unit at(919)733-2136 or another Unit representative at the same number. > The permittee is responsible for ensuring that toxicity testing is conducted according to the permit requirement and that toxicity report forms are appropriately filed. > The reporting of whole effluent toxicity testing data is a dual requirement. All toxicity test results must be entered (with the appropriate parameter code) on your monthly Discharge Monitoring Report which is submitted to: North Carolina Division of Water Quality Central Files 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh,NC 27699-1617 IN ADDITION • Toxicity test data(original"AT"form)must be submitted to the following address: North Carolina Division of Water Quality Environmental Sciences Branch 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1621 > Toxicity test results shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch no later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period(eg,January test result is due by the end of February). > Toxicity test condition language contained in your NPDES permit may require use of multiple concentration toxicity testing upon failure of any single quarterly toxicity test. If the initial pass/fail test fails or if the chronic value is lower than the permit limit, then at least two multiple concentration toxicity tests (pne per month)will be conducted over the following two months. As many analyses as can be completed will be accepted. If your NPDES permit does not requite use of multiple concentration toxi&v testing upon failure of any single quarterly test, you may choose to conduct either single concentration toxidty testing or multiple concentration toxicity testing per the Division's WET enforcement initiatives effective July 1, 1999. Follow-up multiple concentration toxicity testing will influence the Division's enforcement itm,pvnse. > Toxicity testing months are specified by the NPDES Permit, except for NPDES Permits which contain episodic toxicity monitoring requirements (eg, if the testing months specified in your NPDES permit are March, June, September,and December,then toxicity testing must be conducted during these months). > If your NPDES Permit specifies episodic monitoring and your facility does not have a discharge from January 1- June 30, then you must provide written notification to the Environmental Sciences Branch by June 30 that a discharge did not occur during the first six months of the calendar year. > If you receive notification from your contract laboratory that a test was invalidated, you should immediately notify the Environmental Sciences Branch at(919) 733-2136 and provide written documentation indicating why the test was invalidated and the date when follow-up testing will occur. > If your facility is required to conduct toxicity testing during a month in which no discharge occurs, you should complete the information block located at the top of the AT form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county and the month/year of the subject report. You should also write "No Flow" on the AT form,sign the form and submit following normal procedures. > The Aquatic Toxicity Test forms shall be signed by the facility's Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) except for facilities which have not received a facility classification. In t ese cases, a duly authorized facility representative must sign the AT form. The AT form must also be signed by the performing lab supervisor. To determine if your AT test forms were received on time by the Division of Water Quality,you may consider submitting your toxicity test results certified mail, return receipt recuested to the Environmental Sciences Branch. tikfrllarl&Hickman 501 Minuet Lane Suite 101 A Professional Corporation Charlotte,NC 28217 704 586-0007 Phone 586-0373 Fax CERTIFIED MAIL www.harthickman.com ENRETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED NV guALRSQuREFT.OFv� �g � MooRESVttI -; March 30, 2004 ' • s } APR 1 2 2004 Division of Water Quality North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources 1621 Mail Service Center QUALITY SECTION Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621 WATER"�" #7003 2260 0005 5438 7930 Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch Re: AT-2 Form Former CR Industries Facility Gastonia, North Carolina NPDES Permit#NC0004260 H&H Project No. SKF-001 Dear Sirs: Attached is the completed DWQ AT-2 form for the above referenced site for the February 2004 reporting period. The remedial system was restarted on February 6, 2004. On February 18, 2003 the base of the influent storage tank was cleaned of an accumulation of sediment. Quarterly effluent monitoring on February 24, 2004 for the required chemical compounds indicated no detections; however, acute toxicity testing performed indicated a 30% mean mortality rate, which constitutes a failure to comply with permit limits for this criteria. The disturbance of sediments within the influent tank just days prior to the effluent sampling may have contributed to the failing toxicity testing. As required by Section A (2) of the facility permit, an additional effluent sample was collected on March 11, 2004 for acute toxicity testing. The data from this testing indicates 0% mortality and a passing result. The results from the March 2004 testing will be reported in the next DMR. Environmental Sciences Branch February 18, 2004 Page 2 As indicated in the permit, and following a discussion with Mr. Kevin Bowden on March 28, 2004, the effluent sampling will now revert to quarterly monitoring.

Gastonia site Gaston County Dear Mr. McGlocklin: Please find enclosed the DRAFT permit for the subject wastewater treatment plant for your review and comment. The draft permit includes the following items: • The name of the permit holder was changed from CR Industries to SKF USA, Inc. • The sampling type for chronic toxicity was changed from composite to grab. • Monitoring for chloroform was eliminated from the permit. • The monitoring frequency for 1,2-trans-Dichloroethene, 1,2-Dichioropropane, methylene chloride, PCE and TCE was reduced from monthly to quarterly. • The permitted flow of 0.0144 MGD was modified to 0.0072 MGD. The permitted flow of 0.0144 MGD was based on a design capacity of 10 gpm for the air stripper. The current and expected flows for the treatment system are much lower than the capacity of the system. The new flow limit represents a flow of 5 gpm. Please provide any comments you have regarding the draft permit to this office by December 14, 2001. At this time, the Division is also publishing a notice in the newspapers of general circulation in Gaston County, inviting public comment on the draft permit. Following the 30-day comment period, we will review all pertinent comments received and take appropriate action on the permit renewal. Crowders Creek is listed as an impaired stream on North Carolina's 303(d) list. This means that the stream does not meet all water quality standards. Both point and non-point sources contribute to this degradation, therefore the Division will continue to monitor compliance at your facility. Ultimately, the removal of this discharge may be necessary. 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Telephone(919) 733-5083 FAX(919)733-0719 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer Visit us on the INTERNET @ www.enr.state.nc.us Permit No. NC0004260 Page 2 If you have any questions concerning the draft permit or the other requirements for your facility, please call me at (919) 733-5083, extension 595.

Gastonia Summary The permit was originally issued to CR Industries for the treatment of domestic and industrial waste. The permit has been modified extensively since it was issued in 1996. In 1998 they added a groundwater treatment system and began discharging the treated groundwater through the same outfall as the industrial/domestic treatment plant. In 1999 they closed the facility and ceased the domestic/industrial discharge. They eventually sold the facility and the new owner connected the domestic/industrial portion of the effluent to the City of Gastonia WWTP. SKF USA retained the groundwater treatment system and the responsibility for its operation and maintenance. The groundwater remediation system was installed to extract trichloroethene, tetrachloroethene and cis-1,2dichloroethene from the groundwater. Permit Issues A permit modification was requested to allow for the collection of a grab sample for the toxicity test due to the low flow into the treatment system. This permit renewal will also incorporate the request for a name change from CR Industries to SKF USA Inc. SKF USA is the parent company of CR Industries. CR Industries is no longer in operation. Hart & Hickman, PC. is in charge of the operation and maintenance of the groundwater treatment system. Facility Description The groundwater treatment system consists of a surge tank, air stripper and flow measurement. Fact Sheet Renewal -- NPDES Permit NC0004260 Page 1 Basin Plan Crowders Creek is listed in the 303(d) list as biologically impaired due to unknown causes. COMPLIANCE REVIEW In August 1999 they eliminated the discharge of the process and domestic wastewater and from thereon the discharge consisted entirely of treated groundwater. For the purpose of this permit renewal the data review and evaluation will look at the data since August 1999 (groundwater discharge only). Notices of Violation (NOVs) No NOVs have been issued to the permitte for the period of August 1999 to August 2001. Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) Test Data from August 1999 until August 2001 show that they have pass all the toxicity tests. DMR Effluent Data Review The average flow from the groundwater treatment system was 826 gpd. The maximum reported flow was 2,800 gpd. Trichloroethene was detected twice at 2.7 pg/I in May 2000 and 2.2 pg/I in January 2001. Methylene chloride was detected once at 1.3 Ng/I. All other parameters were below quantitation levels. Reasonable Potential Analysis(RPA) A RPA was done for trichloroethene (TCE). The maximum predicted concentration was 7.56 pg/I, the allowable concentration is 81 pg/I. The analysis shows no reasonable potential for TCE to exceed the allowable concentration. PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS • Reduce the permitted flow from 0.0144 MGD to 0.0072 MGD. The permit limit of 0.0144 MGD was based on the capacity of the air stripper which is 10 gpm. Historically the flow through the system has been between 500 to 2800 gpd since the system start- up. This flow is more representative of the actual and expected conditions for the treatment system. The application lists 5,000 gpd as their maximum expected flow. The proposed flow limit allows the discharge of up to 5 gpm or 7,200 gpd. The consultant for the facility, Bruce Hickman from Hart and Hickman was consulted and he agreed that this flow will be adequate. • Change the sampling type for Chronic Toxicity test from composite to grab. This change was requested by the permittee because the flow through the system is low and a composite sample can't be obtained. The Aquatic Toxicology Unit and the regional office agree with this modification. • Change the permittee name to SKF USA, Inc. SKF USA Inc. is the owner of the groundwater treatment system. CR Industries is no longer in operation and the building was sold. • Eliminate monitoring for chloroform. This parameter has not been detected in the effluent since the groundwater treatment system began operation. Fact Sheet Renewal -- NPDES Permit NJC0004260 Page 2 Permit No. NC0004260 SECTION A(1).

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 0.33 %. The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, auarterlu 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 February, May, August and November. 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 TGP3B for the pass/fail results and THP3B 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 Branch 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621 Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch 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 Branch 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.

The permittee may utilize a flow totalizer to measure flow. 2. Chronic Toxicity(Ceriodaphnia), P/F at 0.33%, February, May,August, and November; See Supplement to Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements-Special Condition A(2). The flow and groundwater treatment system should be checked at least on a weekly basis. There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts. r . . Permit No. NC0004260 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 0.33 %. The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterlq 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 February, May, August and November. 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 TGP3B for the pass/fail results and THP3B 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 Branch 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621 Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch 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 Branch 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.

Gastonia Summary The permit was originally issued to CR Industries for the treatment of domestic and industrial waste. The permit has been modified extensively since it was issued in 1996. In 1998 they added a groundwater treatment system and began discharging the treated groundwater through the same outfall as the industriaVdomestic treatment plant. In 1999 they closed the facility and ceased the domestic/industrial discharge. They eventually sold the facility and the new owner connected the domestic/industrial portion of the effluent to the City of Gastonia WWTP. SKF USA retained the groundwater treatment system and the responsibility for its operation and maintenance. The groundwater remediation system was installed to extract trichloroethene, tetrachloroethene and cis-1,2dichloroethene from the groundwater. Permit Issues A permit modification was requested to allow for the collection of a grab sample for the • toxicity test due to the low flow into the treatment system. This permit renewal will also incorporate the request for a name change from CR Industries to SKF USA Inc. SKF USA is the parent company of CR Industries. CR Industries is no longer in operation. Hart & Hickman, PC. is in charge of the operation and maintenance of the groundwater treatment system. Facility Description The groundwater treatment system consists of a surge tank, air stripper and flow measurement. Fact Sheet Renewal -- NPDES Permit NC0004260 Page 1 Basin Plan Crowders Creek is listed in the 303(d) list as biologically impaired due to unknown causes. COMPLIANCE REVIEW In August 1999 they eliminated the discharge of the process and domestic wastewater and from thereon the discharge consisted entirely of treated groundwater. For the purpose of this permit renewal the data review and evaluation will look at the data since August 1999 (groundwater discharge only). Notices of Violation (NOVs) No NOVs have been issued to the permitte for the period of August 1999 to August 2001. Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) Test Data from August 1999 until August 2001 show that they have pass all the toxicity tests. DMR Effluent Data Review The average flow from the groundwater treatment system was 826 gpd. The maximum reported flow was 2,800 gpd. Trichloroethene was detected twice at 2.7 pg/I in May 2000 and 2.2 pg/I in January 2001. Methylene chloride was detected once at 1.3 pg/I. All other parameters were below quantitation levels. Reasonable Potential Analysis(RPA) A RPA was done for trichloroethene (TCE). The maximum predicted concentration was 7.56 pg/I, the allowable concentration is 81 pg/I. The analysis shows no reasonable potential for TCE to exceed the allowable concentration. PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS • Reduce the permitted flow from 0.0144 MGD to 0.0072 MGD. The permit limit of 0.0144 MGD was based on the capacity of the air stripper which is 10 gpm. Historically the flow through the system has been between 500 to 2800 gpd since the system start- up. This flow is more representative of the actual and expected conditions for the treatment system. The application lists 5,000 gpd as their maximum expected flow. The proposed flow limit allows the discharge of up to 5 gpm or 7,200 gpd. The consultant for the facility, Bruce Hickman from Hart and Hickman was consulted and he agreed that this flow will be adequate. • • Change the sampling type for Chronic Toxicity test from composite to grab. This change was requested by the permittee because the flow through the system is low and a composite sample can't be obtained. The Aquatic Toxicology Unit and the regional office agree with this modification. • Change the permittee name to SKF USA, Inc. SKF USA Inc. is the owner of the groundwater treatment system. CR Industries is no longer in operation and the building was sold. • Eliminate monitoring for chloroform. This parameter has not been detected in the effluent since the groundwater treatment system began operation. Fact Sheet Renewal -- NPDES Permit NC0004260 Page 2 • Reduce monitoring frequency from monthly to quarterly for 1,2-trans-Dichloroethene, 1,2-Dichloropropane, methylene chloride, PCE and TCE.

As previously indicated on the May Discharge Monitoring Report, quarterly effluent monitoring in May 2003 for the required chemical compounds indicated no detections; however, quarterly acute toxicity testing also performed in May indicated a failure to comply with permit limits for this criteria. We have decided to temporarily shut down the site remedial system in order to determine the cause of the failure and an appropriate remedy. The remedial system has been shut down since May 23, 2003. H&H will inform the Division of Water Quality when we have determined the cause of the failure, corrective steps have been taken, and when we will re-start the system. Once the system has been restarted, monthly acute toxicity testing will be performed until the test is passed. Upon passing, testing will revert to quarterly monitoring in the months specified in the permit. oOo s:\aaa-master projects\skf-usa\skf 01\2003 dmr cover\6-03 dmr-cover.doc r 'V July 25, 2003 Page 2 Should you have any questions or require any additional information concerning this report, please feel free to contact this office at(704) 586-0007.

You should take whatever remedial actions are necessary to eliminate the conditions causing the effluent toxicity violation(s). Your efforts may include conducting a Toxicity Reduction Evaluation (TRE) which is a site-specific study designed to identify the causative agents of effluent toxicity, isolate the sources of toxicity,evaluate the effectiveness of toxicity control options,and then confirm reductions in effluent toxicity. Please be aware that North Carolina General Statutes provide for assessment of civil penalties for violations of NPDES permit limitations and requirements. The reverse side of this Notice contains important information concerning your Whole Effluent Toxicity Monitoring and Reporting Requirements. Please note updated mailing addresses for submitting your Discharge Monitoring Reports(DMRs)and Aquatic Toxicity(AT) Test Forms. We encourage you to review this information and if it would be helpful to discuss this situation or possible solutions to resolve effluent toxicity noncompliance,please contact Mr. John Lesley with this office at(704) 663- 1699. Sincerely, D. Rex Gleason,P.E. Regional Water Quality Supervisor cc: Aquatic Toxicology Unit Central Files WHOLE EFFLUENT TOXICITY MONITORING AND REPORTING INFORMATION ➢ The following items are provided in an effort to assist you with identifying critical and sometimes overlooked toxicity testing and reporting information. Please take time to review this information.The items below do not address or include all the toxicity testing and reporting requirements contained in your NPDES permit. If you should have any questions about your toxicity testing requirement,please contact Mr. Kevin Bowden with the Aquatic Toxicology Unit at(919)733-2136 or another Unit representative at the same number. ➢ The permittee is responsible for ensuring that toxicity testing is conducted according to the permit requirement and that toxicity report forms are appropriately filed. ➢ The reporting of whole effluent toxicity testing data is a dual requirement. All toxicity test results must be entered (with the appropriate parameter code) on your monthly Discharge Monitoring Report which is submitted to: North Carolina Division of Water Quality Central Files 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh,NC 27699-1617 IN ADDITION Toxicity test data(original"AT"form)must be submitted to the following address: North Carolina Division of Water Quality Environmental Sciences Branch 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1621 ➢ Toxicity test results shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch no later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period(eg,January test result is due by the end of February). ➢ Toxicity test condition language contained in your NPDES permit may require use of multiple concentration toxicity testing upon failure of any single quarterly toxicity test. If the initial pass/fail test fails or if the chronic value is lower than the permit limit,then at least two multiple concentration toxicity tests (one per month)will be conducted over the following two months. As many analyses as can be completed will be accepted. If your NPDES permit does not require use of multiple concentration toxicity testing upon failure of any single quarterly test, you may choose to conduct either single concentration toxicity testing or multiple concentration toxicity testing per the Division's WET enforcement initiatives effective July 1, 1999. Follow-up multiple concentration toxicity testing will influence the Division's enforcement response. ➢ Toxicity testing months are specified by the NPDES Permit,except for NPDES Permits which contain episodic toxicity monitoring requirements (eg, if the testing months specified in your NPDES permit are March, June, September,and December,then toxicity testing must be conducted during these months). ➢ If your NPDES Permit specifies episodic monitoring and your facility does not have a discharge from January 1- June 30, then you must provide written notification to the Environmental Sciences Branch by June 30 that a discharge did not occur during the first six months of the calendar year. ➢ If you receive notification from your contract laboratory that a test was invalidated, you should immediately notify the Environmental Sciences Branch at (919) 733-2136 and provide written documentation indicating why the test was invalidated and the date when follow-up testing will occur. ➢ If your facility is required to conduct toxicity testing during a month in which no discharge occurs,you should complete the information block located at the top of the AT form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county and the month/year of the subject report. You should also write "No Flow" on the AT form,sign the form and submit following normal procedures. ➢ The Aquatic Toxicity Test forms shall be signed by the facility's Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) except for facilities which have not received a facility classification.

Please note that quarterly effluent monitoring in May 2003 for the required chemical compounds indicated no detections; however, quarterly acute toxicity testing also performed in May indicated a failure to comply with permit limits for this criteria. We have decided to temporarily shut down the site remedial system in order to determine the cause of the failure and an appropriate remedy. H&H will inform the Division of Water Quality when we have determined the cause of the failure, corrective steps have been taken, and when we will re-start the system. Once the system has been restarted, monthly acute toxicity testing will be performed until the test is passed. Upon passing, testing will revert to quarterly monitoring in the months specified in the permit.

In order to insure the proper operation and maintenance of these systems, this Rule requires that all systems permitted for a physical / chemical process to treat wastewater be classified as physical/chemical systems. If the subject physical / chemical system consists of systems designed for (1) the remediation of contaminated groundwater, or (2) that utilizes a primarily physical process to treat wastewaters, (with the exception of reverse osmosis, electrodialysis, and utrafiltration systems), then that system shall be classified as a Grade I Physical / Chemical Water Pollution Control System. Rule 15A NCAC 8G .0306(a) If the subject physical/chemical system consists of systems that utilizes a primarily chemical process to treat wastewaters (including those systems whose treatment processes are augmented physical processes), they shall be classified as a Grade II Physical / Chemical Water Pollution Control System. Reverse osmosis, electrodialysis, and utrafiltration systems shall also be classified as Grade II Physical / Chemical Water Pollution Control System. Rule 15A NCAC 8G .0306(b) If the water pollution control system that has, as part of its treatment process, biological water pollution control system that may be classified under Rule .0302, then that system shall be subject to additional classification as a biological water pollution control system. Rule 15A NCAC 8G .0306(c) Any water pollution control system subject to classification under Rule .0302 of this Section, utilizing a physical/chemical process to enhance an activated sludge or fixed growth process, shall not be subject to additional classification.

Pollution Control System Operators Certification Commission hereby classifies your system as a Grade 1 Physical Chemical System. This classification is based on information submitted in your application for a NPDES permit and/or based on the information you provided in the physical chemical classification survey that you completed during the months of April-May 2001. As required by Rule 15A NCAC 8G .0202(2) and the subject permit, a certified Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) and back-up operator of the appropriate type must be designated for each classified system. Your system requires an ORC and back-up operator who hold valid physical / chemical operator certificates. Please complete and return the enclosed designation form to this office by December 31, 2003. Failure to designate a properly certified ORC and back-up operator is a violation of the permit issued for this system. In accordance with Rule 15A NCAC 8G .0406(b), individuals presently working at physical / chemical water pollution control systems holding a valid Grade I, II, III, or IV wastewater treatment plant operator certification, may apply for a conditional operators physical / chemical certificate without examination. He or she may do so if, he or she has one year experience and has successfully completed a training school sponsored or co-sponsored by the Commission for Grade I or Grade 2 Physical / Chemical Water Pollution Control System Operators. This conditional certification allows the bearer to act as the ORC or Backup ORC of that System only. This conditional certification must be renewed annually per section .0700 of the rules. The Rules for this certification as well as others is found on the DWQ/Technical Assistance and Certification Unit web page (http://h20.enr.state.nc.us/tacu). N.C. American Water Works Association (NC AWWA) is offering a physical school that meets the school requirements for operator's certification. There are two schools available now, July 23-26, 2002 in Morganton, N.C. and October 15-18, 2002 in Morehead City, N.C. Please contact NC AWWA at(919) 829-9694 for registration information. If we can be of assistance or you have any questions concerning this requirement, please call James Pugh at 919-733-0026,ext. 341 or e-mail: James.Pugh@ncmail.net.
