HomeMy WebLinkAboutNCG500077_Regional Office Historical File Pre 2018Allocco, Marcia From: Allocco, Marcia Sent: Friday, February 04, 2011 11:53 AM To: Weaver, Charles Subject: RE: status of facility in Boger City / OVERDUE annual fees Hey Charles, I went by the Belding Hausman facility in Boger City yesterday while out in the field. I see the permit is still '`active" in BIMS (NCG500077). I assume neither the Belding Hausman or the current owner (Ingles Supermarkets) has requested permit rescission. The permit can be revoked as the entire facility has been flattened since the last time I was out there when there was one tenant left in the remaining building at that time — I assume to build the new Ingles Supermarket. Marcia From: Weaver, Charles Sent: Friday, August 13, 2010 2:08 PM To: wstowe@beldinghausman.com Cc: Allocco, Marcia Subject: status of facility in Boger City / OVERDUE annual fees Importance: High Mr. Stowe: Belding Hausman (BH) obtained the Boger City Plant from JPS Converter & Industrial Corporation in 1999. The facility held a Certificate of Coverage (CoC) for wastewater discharge under General Permit NCG500000. CoC NCG500077 was transferred to BH in May 1999. The CoC was renewed in 2002 and 2007. The Boger City Plant discharged non -contact cooling water from cooling towers and air compressor condensate to a dry ditch. Flow in the ditch eventually reached Lithia Creek in the Catawba River basin. Division personnel in the NC DENR Mooresville Regional Office report that most of the facility has been demolished. However, one cooling tower remains. Please notify us as to the current and future need for NCG500077. If all discharge has ceased, you may request rescission of the CoC. If discharge is continuing, please remit the overdue annual fees for the facility. All NPDES permittees must pay an Annual Compliance Monitoring Fee. This requirement is documented in your current permit at Part IV [page 131. The 2009 and 2010 fees for the Boger City Plant have not been paid. The total amount owed is $200.00; copies of the invoices previously sent to your company are attached. Failure to pay the annual fee is grounds for revocation of your permit, as documented at 15A NCAC 2H.0105 (b) (4). This letter serves as final notice that the Division will refer the fees noted above to the North Carolina Attorney General's Office for collection through the courts unless payment in the amount of $200.00 is received by August 27, 2010. Further enforcement action [including the revocation of the CoC, imposition of civil penalties, and placing a lien against the property] may also occur if the fee remains unpaid. Make checks payable to NC DENR; include the CoC number and invoice number on the check. Send the fee payment to: Mrs. Fran McPherson Annual Administering and Compliance Fee Coordinator 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 If you have questions regarding this matter, simply reply to this message. Contact Marcia Allocco [704 663-1699 or marcia.allocco@ncdenr.gov] in the NC DENR Mooresville Regional Office if you need help determining the status of your wastewater discharge.

NCG500000 expires on July 31, 2007. Federal (40 CFR 122.41) and North Carolina (15A NCAC 2H.0105(e)) regulations require that permit renewal applications must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current permit. If you have already mailed a renewal request, you may disregard this notice. To satisfy this requirement, the Division must receive a renewal request postmarked no later than February 1, 2007. Failure to request renewal by this date may result in a civil penalty assessment. Larger penalties may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request. This renewal notice is being sent well in advance of the due date so that you have adequate time to prepare your application. If any discharge previously covered under NCG500000 will occur after July 31, 2007, the CoC must be renewed. Discharge of wastewater without a valid permit would violate North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1; unpermitted discharges of wastewater may be assessed civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day. If all discharge has ceased at your facility and you wish to rescind this CoC [or if you have other questions], contact me at the telephone number or e-mail address listed below.

Location of Nearest Dwelling: The nearest dwelling is approximately 300 feet from the discharge location. 10. Receiving Stream or Affected Surface Waters: Unnamed tributary to Lithia Branch a. Classification: C b. River Basin and Subbasin No.: Catawba; 03-08-35 Page Two C. Describe receiving stream features and pertinent downstream uses: The receiving stream appeared to be the headwaters of the subject branch, which also appeared to be a dry ditch. The ditch was fairly narrow but well defined. There are no known pertinent downstream users, other than as prescribed by the Water Quality Standards. PART II - DESCRIPTION OF DISCHARGE AND TREATMENT WORKS 1. Type of Wastewater: 0% Domestic 100% Industrial a. Volume of Wastewater: 0.022 MGD (approximate daily average based on monitoring report) b. Types and quantities of industrial wastewater: The industrial wastewater is produced from cooling tower blowdown and steam condensate. The past year's monitoring data revealed a daily average of .02153 MGD. C. Prevalent toxic constituents in wastewater: Biocides are present in the wastewater. The type of Biocides and their makeup are to be submitted by the Permittee. d. Pretreatment Program (POTWs only): N/A 2. Production Rates (industrial discharges only) in Pounds: N/A 3. Description of Industrial Process (for industries only) and Applicable CFR Part and Subpart: N/A 4.

Treatment Plant Classification: Less than 5 points; no rating (include rating sheet). N/A 7. SIC Code(s): 2281 Wastewater Code(s): Primary: 17 Secondary: 14 PART III - OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION 1. Is this facility being constructed with Construction Grants Funds (municipals only)? No 2. Special monitoring requests: No 3. Additional effluent limits requests: No Page 4. Three Other: No PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS The applicant, JPS converter and Industrial Corporation, plans to continue discharging non -contact cooling water from two cooling towers and steam condensate from a steamer. All three discharges converge at one point in a catch basin and are then discharged to the receiving stream. There did not appear to be any problems with the discharge or the receiving stream other than some staining of the stream banks at the discharge point. This is probably due to the large amount of stormwater runoff from parking lots, mill buildings and Highway 150 that also converge at the above mentioned catch basin. The applicant has stated that biocides are present in the wastewater, and should submit information to the Permits and Engineering Unit prior to permit renewal. Pending review and approval by the Permits and Engineering Unit, it is recommended that the Permit be renewed. W.

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. Mas�Da�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 siich 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 wei.ght.s 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. T of the permit. C. The "maxi.mum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged during a calendar clay. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight of poll.uta.ilt 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 tile. 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 AveraRP" in Part I of the permit. Part It 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" cinder "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. T 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 arit.limetic 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. C Part II Page 13 of 14 Other Measurements 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 Sams les 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. I£ 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 eac}l 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. ' PART III OTHER REQUIREMENTS A.
