d. Description of treatment process: Shurtape Technologies operates a 10,000 gpd extended
aeration type WWTP to treat domestic wastewater and:. non -contact tooling water
generated by Shurtape's -Stony Point Tape Plant. The extended aeration plant consists of
an inlet bar screen, aeration: basin, hopper -type clarifier with a v-notch type weir, tablet- .
type chlorination, chlorine contact chamber, tablet de -chlorination, and an aerated sludge
holding tank.: Discharge of the treated wastewater is into Third Creek in the Yadkin -Pee
Dee River Basin. To optimize the operation of the WWTP, Shurtape conducts process
testing of MLSS, MLVSS, and settleability in the'aeration basin.

Annual System Performance Report
Shurtape Stony Point Facility

system performance consisted of reviewing the operator's logbook, process control
equipment calibration logbooks, sludge removal records, and DMR's from January 2012
through December 2012. During this time period, no effluent violations occurred.
During this time period, the process control monitoring equipment was found to have met
calibration checks unless further described herein. Buffer solutions used for pH meter
calibrations were valid; and sampling results have attached chain of custody forms. The
operator logbooks verified that the system had been attended as required with
maintenance activities performed. During 2012, there were no events noted in the
logbook that would cause the facility to operate in a non -compliant manner. The facility
operated in compliance.
Two typographical errors not affecting compliance were identified during the records
review. First, the March 2012 DMR showed an ORC on -site time for one day as 1 hour,
whereas the log book showed 2 hours. Second, the April 2012 DMR showed a
downstream -sampling time that disagreed with the log book by one minute. These two
issues were discussed with Mr. Wes Bell of NCDENR on 6-Feb-2012 and it was agreed
that amended DMRs were not required.
b. During the time period of January 2012 through December 2012 no effluent violations
occurred.
Description of any known environmental impacts of violations:
N/A — No known violations of effluent limitations.
d. Description of corrective actions taken to address violations or deficiencies: No known
violations existed for the reporting period.
e. Shurtape has met the requirements to conduct analysis of field parameters on site through
Lab Certification Procedures.
f. Lab Certification No. 5087; EPA Lab ID No. NC01311
Proficiency testing was completed during July 2012. The approval report was issued
13-Aug-2012.
g. Notification: Shurtape's WWTP serves the manufacturing facility at Stony Point. There
are no other users connected to the system. Therefore, Shurtape is the only user of the
system. Note that a copy of this report is sent to the Senior Vice President of
Manufacturing.

Summary of ORC Log Book Review:
Logbook is up to date with appropriate notations of actions by ORC and back-up ORC. Logbook appears to contain the operational
information required to demonstrate compliance (see exceptions below, if any).
The. March DMR showed one. incorrect ORC time on site value (the actual was hour, greater.than reported ont he DMR), and, the April DMR
showed a downstream sampling time that disagreed with the Log Book by one minute.
Summary of Review:
Annual Performance Test for. Field Parameters: pH: Method 4500 H+B & TRC: Method 4500 CIG.
Corning pH & YSI DO meters both have correction factors noted on meters. (current factor is "0").
