Subject: Shurtape Technologies, Inc. — Stoney Point Tape Plant
Chemical Treatment Use
NPDES No. NCG500323
JAN 12 9�
Alexander County cp
Shurtape Technologies, Inc. has submitted Suresperse 925L cooling water treatment
for review and approval. Data submitted to our office concerning dosage rate, degradation,
system volume, average daily discharge, toxicity of the active ingredient(s) and/or breakdown
products, and minimum stream flow have been reviewed and evaluated.
As the active ingredients of these products are not considered biocidal, approval from
this office is not required for their use. Following current permitting practices, the use of the
above mentioned boiler additives should be allowable at Shurtape Technologies, Inc. —
Stoney Point Tape Plant. If there are questions concerning this review please contact me at
[phone].

Shurtape Technologies, Inc. proposes to begin use of a new water treatment chemical in our cooling tower.
Please accept this letter as a written request to modify the subject permit to allow the use of this chemical.
The following water treatment chemical is proposed for use.
• Suresperse 925L Cooling Water Treatment
A Worksheet Form I01 has been included for your review along with a copy of the Material Safety Data
Sheet, and a copy of aquatic toxicity data for the product. A copy of this information is also being forwarded to
Melissa Rosebrock of the Aquatic Toxicity. Group.
It is my understanding that no fee is required for this modification and a letter will be issued by your office as
final permit action. If you have any questions please call me at [phone], extension 4428 or contact me via e-
mail at [e-mail]. Thank you for your prompt attention in this matter.
Respectfully yours,
