John E. Skvarla, III Governor Director Secretary June 6, 2013 Crane Resistoflex Kelly Daggett 1 Quality Way Marion NC 28752 SUBJECT: Compliance Sampling Inspection Crane Resistoflex Permit No: NCG500616 McDowell County Dear Mr. Daggett: On May 1, 2013, a compliance sampling inspection was conducted at the Crane Resistoflex facility. The facility was found to be non -compliant with permit NCG500616. You were present during a portion of the inspection, as was Jerry Freeman and Manny Mojica with Crane Resistoflex. There was some confusion during the inspection regarding the permits Crane Resistoflex holds. Crane Resistoflex currently holds two Division of Water Quality (DWQ) permits; a Stormwater General Permit (NCG030499) and a Wastewater General Permit (NCG500616). Attached is a letter to DWQ dated June 26, 2003 from Todd Poteat with Crane Resistoflex rescinding an old Wastewater Individual Permit (NC0039934). My inspection was for the Wastewater General permit NCG500616, which is associated with non -contact cooling waters etc. However, because of the permit confusion we did discuss the Stormwater General Permit at length as well. Therefore there are important comments in the inspection reported related to that permit which needs your attention. Also attached is letter from DWQ to Crane Resistoflex regarding Total Toxic Organics (TTO) sampling. Total Toxic Organic sampling is required for the Stormwater General Permit. This parameter is not currently being sampled; you will need to immediately include this in your stormwater sampling. Regarding the Wastewater General Permit there are several items that need to be addressed for compliance. It is important that you review the attached Water Compliance Inspection Report for findings and required actions. Items requiring immediate attention include initiating sampling of your wastewater discharges according to the permit for pH, temperature and chlorine, as well as upstream and downstream sampling. Chlorine levels during the inspection were elevated and a concern for aquatic organisms.

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary) Met with Kelly Daggett; we walked most of the site and went over paperwork. Mr. Daggett expects to cease discharging to the stream later this year once he installs his coolers and recycling system. We reviewed the sample results from Pace Analytical and they appeared to be compliant. There were however, two data points that were questionable. The inspector has inquired with Pace regarding these results. Mark Swann commented he reports in ug/I on his field sheet, but the lab report lists mg/I. Pace Analytical will fix the units and send amended reports to Crane Resistoflex.

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary) There appears to be confusion between the stormwater permit (NCG030499) requirements and the wastewater permit (NCG500616) requirements. STORMWATER PERMIT: Sampling results presented to the inspector from Pace Labs were for the Stormwater Permit. Although this inspection was not a stormwater inspection, I will offer comments regarding the stormwater permit compliance issues in order to assist the facility. 1. Contact Tim Fox with Division of Water Quality (DWQ) at 828-296-4500 for follow up compliance assistance. 2. The stormwater samples are not being obtained correctly. Please review Part 11 Section B of Stormwater Permit for sampling requirements. The frequency should be semi-annual unless in a tiered response mode. The stormwater samples must be obtained during a storm event and collected within the first 30 minutes of the stormwater discharge. This sampling requirement is important because the first flush of stormwater is a representative sample of the pollution load since it carries the most pollutants to the stream. Sample results reviewed indicated one sample set was obtained without any rainfall. Samples are obtained by a consultant in Asheville, so it is unlikely the 30 minute requirement can be met. Personnel at the facility should be gathering the samples and notifying consultant to come and pick up the samples for delivery to the lab. The Consultant can train Crane Resistoflex personnel in proper sampling and handling techniques. See Table 1 in stormwater permit for required parameters. 3. A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan has not been developed and implemented. Review Part I, Section A of Stormwater Permit for Plan requirements. Pieces of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan may be at the facility (i.e. other program requirements; Contingency Plan and Emergency Procedures) but have not been specifically developed and properly implemented for compliance with the Stormwater Permit. 4. Illicit discharges need to be evaluated and removed. This is an old industrial building, therefore the inspector discussed illicit discharges with staff. WASTEWATER PERMIT: The facility was not compliant with the Wastewater Permit. They were unaware of the NCG500616 permit requirements (General Permit No. NCG500000 Non -Contact Cooling Water, Cooling Tower and Boiler Blowdown, Condensate, etc). Required actions listed below are to assist facility with their General Wastewater Permit compliance. 1. Contact the local municipality to determine if discharging wastewater into the sewer system is a feasible alternative. Contact Larry Carver with the City of Marion at 652-8843. If you chose to tie onto the City sewer system contact me at 296-4500 to assist you with rescinding your NCG500616 General Wastewater permit. 2. You have to begin sampling your Wastewater Discharge (small boiler in lab and Ram tower extruder). Two wastewater discharges were discussed during the inspection. One discharge was sampled during the inspection (Ram Tower). Results indicated non-compliance with the permit (Part I A(1)). 3. If Crane Resistoflex wishes to retain the Wastewater permit, the chlorine residual in the wastewater discharge will have to be reduced. Chlorine is higly toxic to aquatic organisms especially at the levels indicated during the inspection. There are options to reduce/remove chlorine from your wastewater discharge; if you have the gradient it is possible to aerate the wastewater discharge enough to volitalize the chlorine. There are also dechlorination devices that can be installed.

Page # 3 Permit: NCG500616 Owner - Facility: Crane Resistoflex Inspection Date: 05/01/2013 Inspection Type: Compliance Sampling Permit Yes No NA NE (If the present permit expires in 6 months or less). Has the permittee submitted a new application? n n ■ n Is the facility as described in the permit? ■ n n n # Are there any special conditions for the permit? n n ■ n Is access to the plant site restricted to the general public? ■ n n n Is the inspector granted access to all areas for inspection? ■ n n n Comment: There is a fence around the property, however there is an area by the stream where the fence is hanging loose because of an eroded streambank. Restoration of the streambank should be considered otherwise the erosion will continue. Operations & Maintenance Yes No NA NE Is the plant generally clean with acceptable housekeeping? ■ ❑ 0 ❑ Does the facility analyze process control parameters, for ex: MLSS, MCRT, Settleable Solids, pH, DO, Sludge fl rl ■ rl Judge, and other that are applicable? Comment: Housekeeping outside the plant could be improved. There is alot going on outside currently with the addition of a Germany facility. Stormwater permit inspector should address area by hazardous waste storage. Record Keeping Yes No NA NE Are records kept and maintained as required by the permit? n ■ n n Is all required information readily available, complete and current? n ■ n n Are all records maintained for 3 years (lab. reg. required 5 years)? n ■ n n Are analytical results consistent with data reported on DMRs? n n ■ n Is the chain -of -custody complete? ■ n n n Dates, times and location of sampling ■ Name of individual performing the sampling ■ Results of analysis and calibration ■ Dates of analysis ■ Name of person performing analyses ■ Transported COCs ■ Are DMRs complete: do they include all permit parameters? n n ■ n Has the facility submitted its annual compliance report to users and DWQ? n n ■ n (If the facility is = or > 5 MGD permitted flow) Do they operate 24/7 with a certified operator on each shift? n n ■ n Is the ORC visitation log available and current? n n ■ n Page # 4 Permit: NCG500616 Inspection Date: 05/01/2013 Owner - Facility: Crane Resistoflex Inspection Type: Compliance Sampling Record Keeping Is the ORC certified at grade equal to or higher than the facility classification? Is the backup operator certified at one grade less or greater than the facility classification? Is a copy of the current NPDES permit available on site? Facility has copy of previous year's Annual Report on file for review? Comment: Facility needs to visit site below to obtain copy of their NCG500000 permit. http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/swp/ps/npdes/permits Fffluent Pine Is right of way to the outfall properly maintained? Are the receiving water free of foam other than trace amounts and other debris? If effluent (diffuser pipes are required) are they operating properly? Comment: The Inspector visited two of the three outfalls. Three outfalls are reported on the site map for this facility. Outfall #4 was evaluated during the inspection. This outfall carries wastewater associated with the NCG500616 permit. During the inspection this was discharging wastewater from the Ram tower. The facility has a small boiler in lab that also has a wastewater discharge, it is unclear where this discharges. There was an area with several pipes at outfall #4, all of the pipes origins were unknown. This has to be determined by facility. The other two outfalls are believed to be associated with the stormwater permit NCG030499. Note: Outfall #4 also carries stormwater during a rain event, therefore outfall #4 should never be sampled for wastewater associated with permit NCG500616 during a rain event. Effluent Sampling Is composite sampling flow proportional? Is sample collected below all treatment units? Is proper volume collected? Is the tubing clean? # Is proper temperature set for sample storage (kept at less than or equal to 6.0 degrees Celsius)? Is the facility sampling performed as required by the permit (frequency, sampling type representative)? Comment: Facility is not sampling for NCG500616 permit. Inspector was presented with sample results by Pace Labs but these results are from the samples obtained for the stormwater permit NCG030499, not the wastewater permit. Wastewater was flowing from outfall #4 and was evaluated, see below and summary. Yes No NA NE Yes No NA NE ■nnn ■nnn nn■n Yes No NA NE Page # 5 Permit: NCG500616 Inspection Date: 05/01/2013 Upstream / Downstream Sam Owner - Facility: Crane Resistoflex Inspection Type: Compliance Sampling Yes No NA NE Is the facility sampling performed as required by the permit (frequency, sampling type, and sampling location)? ❑ ■ ❑ ❑ Comment: Analysis of wastewater effluent (outfall #4, Ram Tower) was performed during the inspection. Results indicate that temperature may not be an issue in the receiving stream, however chlorine is likely an issue. Chlorine levels obatined during the inspection were 1.78 mg/I or 1780 ug/I. The DWQ considers values less than 50 ug/I compliant with the permit. Chlorine is toxic to aquatic organisms. Crane Resistoflex needs to evaluate chlorine levels in their effluent as well as upstream and downstream where their wastewater discharge enters the receiving stream (Unnamed Tributary to Catawba). This needs to be done at an increased rate to determine if the actions taken by Crane Resistoflex are effective for compliance with permit limits. Contact inspector for proper upstream and downstream sampling locations. Page # 6 5af,=l I ray- ,,r�lrf r � s r �'�:. �' _ +'.- •fir ;.. r V+'.�.

NCG500616 I11 12, 17/03/14 117 18 ICI Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary) I (Dan Boss) and Mikal Willmer conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection at Crane-Resistoflex in Marion, NC on 3/14/2017. James Freeman guided us through the facility during the inspection. Resistoflex staff indicated that the non -contact cooling water system has been replaced by chillers which do not discharge. The boiler blowdown water is now discharged to the Marion sewer system. Looking over their test results performed by Pace Analytical, it was clear that Resistoflex was still discharging water into the outfalls. Most of the effluent tests for Total Residual Chlorine exceeded the 50 micrograms/L compliance limit. According to Mr. Freeman, the only discharges that they have to the outfalls besides storm water comes from hydrostatic testing of pipes and contact cooling water. The wastewater from these systems needs to be plumbed to the Marion sewer or Crane-Resistoflex needs to apply for an Individual Wastewater NPDES Permit. Contact the City of Marion sanitary sewer staff regarding the discharge of this additional water to their system.
