NPDES Electronic Reporting Requirements AquAir rmediaion site NPDES Permit Number; NCO086673' 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 December 21, 2016, regulated entities that are required to submit Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) will begin submitting these reports electronically, if you are currently reporting your DR 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, electronicreporting of DMRs will be required, instead of voluntary. • Phase 2—Starting can December 21, 2020, regulated' entities that are required to submit certain other NPDES reports will begin; submitting these reports electronically. 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 ether NPDES program reports. Incorporating Electronic Reporting Requirements into NPDES Permits 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. According to our files, your NPDES permit became effective; after November 2013, and should contain the requirement to electronically report your Discharge Monitoring Reports using NC DWR's eDMR system. In addition to requiring permittees to report information electronically, the rule also requires permittees to identify the initial recipient for the NPDES electronic reporting data [see 40 CFR 122.41(l)(9)j. Initial State of North Carolina I Environmental Quality I Water Resources 1617 Mail Service; Center j Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 recipient of electronic NPDES information from WDES-regulatedfocilities (initial reci, entity (EPA or the state authorized by EPA to implement the NPDES program) that is for receiving electronic NPDES Data [see 40 CFR 127.2(b)]. Permittees are required I submit the required NPDES information to the appropriate initial recipient, as deterr 18, 2016, EPA must identify and publish on its web site and in the Federal Register a recipients by state and by NPDES, data group.

This requirement may be waived by the Director of the Division of Water Quality (or her designees) during extended periods of no discharge. I have reviewed. the November 2, 2011 correspondence submitted can SNL. Corporation's behalf by Mr. Robert L. Griffin, P.E. of Shield Engineering. The letter stated that operation of the subject.groundwater treatment system will remain suspended for an undetermined period of time, allowing assessment activities to be performed that will determine if the site may be entered into the Brownfields program. During this time, no groundwater extraction, treatment or discharge will occur. Once the assessment is completed, the Division will be advised of future plans at this site and whether the discharge of treated groundwater will be necessary. After reviewing your request and considering the recommendation of the staff of the Mooresville Regional Office, I have agreed to waive the requirement to submit monthly DMRs for the subject facility, effective with the November 2011 DMR. Additionally, I hereby waive the requirement for operator visitation at this facility. The facility should take all necessary steps to ensure there will be no direct discharge from this system to waters of the state. Please keep the Surface Water Protection Section of the Mooresville Regional Office apprised of any pertinent developments that arise regarding groundwater treatment and disposal from this facility. Please be mare that if the facility exhibits a potential for discharge of wastewater, then visitation, monitoring and reporting must resume as required by the terms of the permit and North Carolina's environmental laws. Conversely, if it is determined that no additional groundwater remediation is required at the site, rescission of the permit should be considered. 1617 Mail service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699.1617 One Location: 512 N.

A Compliance Evaluation Inspection Report was issued on January 4, 2007. PERMIT: The facility's current permit became effective July 1, 2005 and will expire on January 31, 2010.The facility; is permitted to discharge 0.0864 MGD of treated water from air on -site groundwater remediation system to an unnamed tributary to Steele Cheek.. The facility was originally constructed to include the following components: extraction wells, submersible pumps, surge tank, air stripper, particulate big filter, liquid -phase carbon absorption, and dial flow meters (influent and effluent). The pernrittee has re -engineered the treatment works to more aggressively treat contaminated groundwater. Changes include the addition of two new recovery wells (five total), an upgraded six -tray air stripper (replacement), the addition of a second liquid -phase granular activated carbon unit as a polishing or finishing step, and the replacement of existing controls, piping, and related electrical components. An Authorization to Construct was issued on august , 2003 for the changes made to the treatment works. The certification classification for NCO086 73 requires that the facility have an Operator in Responsible Charge. (ORC) with a Grade 1 Physical Chemical Water Pollution Control System (PC-1) certification. The facility is staffed (ORC and back-up) with personnel that possess the appropriate operator certification. The Division of Water Quality Compliance Database currently shows Mr. Robert Griffin as the ORC and Mr. John. Hawkins as the Back-up ORC. However, the October and November 2008 Discharge Monitoring Reports note that Mr. Jeff Nicholson is the ORC at the facility. Please complete the attached ORC form and have it signed by the per ittee if there has been a change to the ORC at the facility; the form must be submitted within 120 days of an ORC change. RECORDS/REPORTS: Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) were reviewed from the period September 2007 through August 2008. No deficiencies in record keeping were rioted. FACILITY SITE REVIEW: The treat and pump system has not discharged since mid -November 2008. The ORC i working to ,get the system back in full operation following a permit exceedance for carbon tetrachloride. According to the ORC approximately 58 air -sparking wells, 35 monitoring wells, and five recovery (extraction) wells have been installed across the site: NC MR r.

This sampling event included laboratory detections of Carbon Tetrachloride and Tetrachloroethene in the treatment system effluent. Tetrachloroethene analysis did not exceed permit limitations. Analytical results from analysis of the Aquair samples indicated a Carbon Tetrachloride concentration of 93 microgram per liter. The permit limits for Carbon Tetrachloride is 15.6 micrograms per liter. PEeJiLninaa Investigation and Evaluation One possible scenario that appears to have had an impact on the operation of the treatment systems relates to the air stripper condition upon preliminary investigation: It appears that the air stripper pores started to. clog d the air to the stripper blower was able to flow through the tray pores effectively which may have resulted in short circuiting and loss of effectiveness. The metal stripper prevents the operator from actually seeing the flow as a plastic body stripper might or a tray with portholes or hand - ways. Therefore, this condition could not be detected by the operator. In the Aquair Treatment System the Air Stripper is designed as the primary treatment unit with carbon serving as a polishing step. Short circuiting of the stripper, although detectable, potentially had a major effect on the efficiency of the entire treatment system- Proggled Corrective Action Plan Shield .personnel will fully dismantle the stripper and clean (i.e. pressure wash and clean with acid to remove calcium carbonate build up) the trays. After completion of the cleaning, process flow will be directed back to the air stripper. Control samples will b collected after the stripper to assure proper removal of pollutants. Sampling will also be conducted at the time to evaluate the status of the primary and secondary carbon units. Water from this evaluation process will be recycled to the influent surge tank and not discharged to the receiving stream until such time sample results indicate the effluent meets permit standards. Shield will institute a quarterly stripperinspection process that will involve 2 people opening the top of the stripper and visually inspecting the top tray for growth and accumulation that could potentially cause a recurrence of these circumstances.

(Shield) is providing formal notification of an accidental release of approximately 1000 pounds of carbon from a treatment vessel equipment failure onsite at the Aquair groundwater remediationtreatment facility to the discharge stream. This notification is on behalf of SNL, LLC owner of the facility, Robert L. Griffin, Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) called John Leslie in the Mooresville Regional Office of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Surface Water Protection Section on August 6, 2003 at approximately 3:15 put to report the release and comply with the 24 hour notification requirement. The release occurred between the July 291h site visit and the time Shield's Robert L. Griffin, ORC, visited the site on August 6, 2008. Immediately upon discovering the release the treatment system was shut down pending the repair of the carbon vessel. Due to the release of carbon, the effluent flow rneter malfunctioned and did not indicate discharge flow volume from July 29, 2008 until the system was shut down on August 6, 2008. 1-he effluent flow meter was cleaned and is now operating properly. As we discussed the carbon should be inert and not pose a threat to the environment or stream. However, in good conscience the owner hired Stat, Inc., a vacuum truck service, to remove the carbon from the stream on the same day it was discovered, TetraSolv Filtration, Inc. removed the carbon from the site on August 8, 2008 and will recycle it with the other carbon removed from the vessels during repair and cleaning.

Changes include the addition of two new recovery wells (five total), an upgraded 6-tray air stripper (replacement), the addition of a2"d liquid phase granular activated carbon unit as a polishing or finishing step, and the replacement of existing controls, piping, and related electrical components. An Authorization to Construct (A to C), was issued on August 2, 2005, for the changes made to the treatment works. The certification classification for NCO0 6673 requires that the facility have an Operator in Responsible Charge (C RC) with a Grade I (or higher) Physical Chemical Water Pollution Control System (PC-1) certification. It appears that the facility is staffed with personnel (D. Crawley, PC-2 ##2 21 ) that possess the appropriate operator certification. However, the Division of "Water Quality's database indicates that neither an CRC nor a Pack. -up ORC"> has been designated for the AcluAir W TP. Please use the enclosed Water Pollution Control System ORC Designation Form to designate an ORC for the Aqu. it WWTP. DMRs from November 2005 through October 2006 were reviewed during the inspection, No deficiencies in record keeping were noted. FACILITY SITEREVIEW: During the inspection, disconnected piping and pumps were observed, verifying that the facility was currently non -operational clue to a pump failure. The O C expects the plant to be operational again on November 30, 20t?Ci, According to the CRC, approximately 58 air-sparging wells have been installed across the site. Also, two new recovery (extraction) wells have been installed for a total of five recovery wells. There are also approximately 55 monitoring wells on site. New components added through the A to C including a new upgraded air stripper and 'an additional liquid it will allow for more aggressive groundwater treatment. Numerous 55-gallon drums of soil cuttings (from the new air-sparefineei again observed on site during the inspection as related to new well installation in '. FLOW MEASUREMENT: When operational, the;AquAir facility continuously monitors both influeni flow using computer -based technology. Facility records indicated the effluent floc replaced and calibrated on October 20, 2006.

Rex Gleason, P.E. North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) Division of Water Quality 610 East Center Ave, Suite 301 Mooresville, NC 28115 Subject: NPDES PERMIT NO. NCO086673 Request for Remission for Notice of Violation and Assessment of Civil Penalty of Case # LV-2006-0116 Against SNI, Corporation AquAir Waste Water Treatment Plant Mecklenburg County, North Carolina Shield Engineering Project No. 1040082-06 Dear Mr. Gleason, This letter is to request Remission for the Notice of Violation and Assessment of Civil Penalty for Case # LV-2006-0116 as stated in your April 28, 2006 letter. Shield Engineering (Shield) on behalf of SNL Corporation (SNL) request remission of the Notice of Violation and/or Assessment of Civil Penalty on the follow grounds. • Violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation, • Violation was inadvertent and/or the result of an accident, • Historic assessment of civil penalties. • Cost of civil penalty would, be better applied to additional treatment system safe guards and remedial actions. Detailed breakdown of our request for remission of the Notice of Violation and Civil Penalty is listed below. 1) Violation was promptly abated, negating continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation. Effluent analytical samples were collected on February 28, 2006 with verbal results of the exceedance of the permit limitations received by Shield on March 13, 2006. Effluent concentrations of 910 micrograms per liter (ug/L) carbon tetrachloride and 73 ug/L tetrachloroethene, were above the site NPDES permit limitations of 15.6 ug/L and 31.1 ug/L respectively. Shield, with concurrence from SNL obtained control samples from the AquAir WWTP Treatment System (WWTP) and immediately shut down the WWTP, on the same day verbal results were received. 4301 Taggart Creek Road Telephone 704.394.6913 Charlotte, NC 28208 www,shieldengineering.com Fax 704,394,6968 Shierverballyverbally reported the exceedence of permit limitations to NCDENR Mooresville Regional Office Office and followed up with a letter describing the cause of the exceedance and efforts made to correct the cause of the exceedance. Efforts made to correct the cause of the exceedance included backwashing the carbon polishing treatment units and adding cleaning of the air stripper float tree. After careful consideration and receipt of the analytical results from the control samples indicating levels of the NPDES monitored parameters below reporting levels the WWTP was re -started on March 22, 2006. Shield monitored the treatment system for proper function and added cleaning of the air stripper float and backwashing of the carbon units to the regular system maintenance check list, 2) Violation was inadvertent and/or the result of an accident. In February, 2006 the float switch for the air stripper sump became stuck and it is suspected that inadequately treated groundwater flooded the carbon units. Concurrently the back pressure for the carbon units increased. The system discharge rate near the end of February was low due to the activated carbon units requiring backwashing. 3) Historic assessment of civil penalties. The AquAir WWTP has been violation free since September 2004. A new groundwater treatment system was installed in 2005 in order to more adequately treat the recovered groundwater and more adequately mitigate possible environmental impact from the groundwater contamination. 4) Cost of civil penalty would be better applied to additional treatment system safe guards and remedial actions. The $278.95 civil penalty would better be applied to continued remedial efforts to remediate the contaminated groundwater and enhancements to the groundwater treatment system such as replacement of the granular activated carbon units within the carbon polishing treatment. SNL has voluntarily expended great sums of money and efforts to remediate the site contaminated groundwater and adhere to applicable environmental regulations. Penalizing SNL for one small mechanical failure of the groundwater treatment system would not serve any positive action. Shield and SNL would greatly appreciate your remission of the Notice of Violation and/or Civil Penalty, The groundwater remediation and treatment systems will continue to be run at the highest standards of operation. If you have any questions or for further discussion concerning this report, please feel free to contact the undersigned at (704) 394-6913. Sincerely, SHIELD ENGINEERING, INC.

Previous operations at the site consisted of: vanadium catalyst manufacturing, ` g, solvent recovery, reclamation and blending, bulk chemical repackaging, labt tory services, and chromium compound anufacturing. All facility operations ceased by 1988. Since that time, the site structures have been removed. A railroad track divides the site into two tracts (Figure 2). The northeastern tract contains an unnamed tributary to Steel Creek and a wastewater treatment facility that currently treats groundwater ` covered from three groundwat6r recovery wells located on the southwestern portion of the facility. Cont l titan at the site consists of metals, including arsenic, cadmium, chromium,lead, d vanadium in the soils and volatile organic compounds (VOC) in the sails and groundwater. Site managed remediation is being b the Inactive Ha ardour Sites Branch (IRSB) of the y North Carolina Department of Environment and Mural Resources (NCD NR), under the registered Environmental Consultant (C) program. VOC contamination is being ( reroediated by two remedi Lion technologies Air sparging is utilized to remediate the shallow aquifer contamination, d is not ttdressed nor an issue for this application. Deep aquifer contamination is being remediated using a Groundwater Recovery System (GT S) (Drawing 1).

(Shield) is pleased to submit one original and one copy of the August, 2004 Effluent Report (DWQ Form - I.1) for the above referenced AquAir Waste Water "Treatment Plant (AquAir WTP). The facility will continue to submit monthly effluent reports as required by the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System DES) Permit No. NCO08 73. Based on review of the sample analytical data in June, which demonstrated the need for returning to carbon treatment, and also due to a power surge (presumably from a lightning strike) the AquAir WTP was not operational from. July 1, 2004 through August 15, 2004. Shield restarted the treatment system on August 16, 2004 after addition of carbon and repair of the control panel. Neither Shield nor SNL Corporation has received the NPDES permit renewal application from NCDENR, Shield contacted NCDENR and requested a renewal application and was informed that the NCDENR was behind on sending renewals out, and a renewal would be sent. 4301 Taggart Creek Road Telephone 704.394.6993 arlo#te, NC 28208 www.shieldengineering.com Fax 704.394,6968 AquAir August 2004 DMR Shield Project No.. 1040082 September 29, 2004 Page 2 of If you have any questions or for further discussion concerning this report, please feel free to contact the undersigned at (704) 4- 911 Sincerely, SHIELD ENGINEERING, INC. t gertG4iffin, CEA David Stoner, P.G.

The power surge destroyed the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) for the treatment system. System repairs were conducted in July and the first two weeks in August of 2004. The site ORC was present on site during repairs. The AquAir WWTP was restarted on August 16 2004 Based on review of the sample analytical data for August 2004, the AquAir WWTP operated within the limitations as specified in the site NPDES Permit. Attached are the original analytical results for August 2004 effluent sampling and a copy of the aquatic toxicity results. The original aquatic toxicity results have been forwarded to the Environmental Sciences Division ofNCDENR. The AquAir NPDES Permit expires on January 31, 2005. The NPDES permit renewal has not been received to date. Shield Engineering employees contacted NCQE�NR to request a permit renewal application be sent and were told the NC L1ENR-DWt was six months behind on renewal applications.

Neely Road Charlotte, Mecklenburg County NCD 074511361 Shield Project #104002-2 Dear Mr. Bridgeman: Regarding the Former AquAir facility at the above address, a Report issued as a Notice o Violation (Report) elated September 22, 2004 was received from the North Carolina Department of Environment & Natural Resources (NCDENR). The Report detailed deficiencies and violations under the Records/Reports and Self -Monitoring Program headings. Shield Engineering, Inc, (Shield) on behalf of SNL, LLC is responding to this NOV. Included in our response are amended Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) prepared by Shield and S&ME, a previous consultant that was in responsible charge during the time period that some violations and/or deficiencies occurred. Also included are the requested responses to the violations, some provided based on conversations with S&ME. Shield can not guarantee accuracy or validity of information obtained from others, but has no reason to doubt the validity. Response to Records/Reports section of Report 1. Amended January, 2004 DMR supplied by S&ME (Attached). `?. Amended May, 2004 DMR supplied by Shield (Attached.). 3. Amended June, 2004 DMR supplied by Shield (Attached.). Response to Self Monitoring Program section of Report I . The DMR dated December 2003 indicated that compliance samples uvr*e collected on December 30, 2003, when the flaw was reported at 0. 000 iiIGD1 S ME stated to Shield on October 13, 2004 that the system had been "down" and when they inspected the system on December 30, 2003 they were able to get it operating. They 4301 Taggart Creek Road Telephone 704,394,6913 Charlotte, NC 28208 www.sh eldengineering.cam Fax 704,394.6968 t4 r sampled the effluent thereafter. The consultants in charge of this project changed from S&ME to Shield in May 2004. Shield will endeavor not to have a similar occurrence. 2-13. Response to violations 2 through 13 are addressed in this section. The DUR dated April 004 indicates that only one sample was collected fvr analyses of the required parameters in April 2004. The suNect permit requires samplin ./br these parameters twice per month. The consulting company in charge of this project changed during this monitoring period. It was the understanding of Shield: that S&ME had performed all required monitoring events, up to the date of transferring responsibility of this project to Shield. In May 2004. it was learned that on April 13, 2004 S ME sampled the effluent for Toxicity Testing but not chemical testing. On April 23, 2004 Shield sampled for all of the required parameters This was noted in the May 2004 DMR. Shield is now in charge of the facility operation. Shield's Project Manager is tracking all sampling requirements and due dates. In addition, Shield has an inner company scheduling calendar for reminders to the Site Project Director and Project Manager of all site requirements and due dates. These procedures at Shield should ensure timely and complete sampling per the permit. 14-15. Response to violations 14 & 15. The 1 MR dated ,lane 2004 reported a permit exceedance for Carbon Tetrachloride and Tetrachlor oethene as sampled on hone 30, 2004. Additional groundwater recovery wells were added to the system in June 2004. Apparently this increased the contaminant loading to the system. At approximately the same time that we confirmed the exceedance of the permit, there was a power surge that damaged some of the system controls. For these two reasons, the system was left "down" until approval was received from the NCDENR to put the carbon filtering portion of the system back on line, and the system controls were repaired. One 1,000-Lbs liquid phase carbon unit was installed on August 16-17, 2004 with concurrence from NCDENR Raleigh Central Office"s Tom Belick. The system has been operating in compliance with the permit since August 17, 2004. Shield is in the process of requesting NCDENR permission to add another 1,000 ZLbs carbon unit to be placed in parallel with the current 1,000-Lfbs carbon unit to ensure compliance with NPDES permit discharge limitations. System effluent sampling will continue as directed in the site NPDES permit NCD 074511361. Shield has amended the DMRs as requested in the September 22, 2004 Report and they are attached. Copies of analytical data have not been included. Also included please find a copy of the Report. r .�w VSHIELD UNQINEERINQINC.

Only toxicity sampling on the effluent was conducted the first sampling event by S& E. Operation and maintenance responsibilities of the AquAir WWTP were transferred from S&ME to Shield on April 22, 2004. It was Shield's understanding at the time of transfer that S&ME had sampled the effluent earlier in the month; as a result Shield only sampled the effluent the second portion of the month. Shield will be performing operations, maintenance and sampling in compliance with the current NPDES Permit number NCO086673 until directed otherwise.

GENERAL: The Mecklenburg County Water Quality Program (MCWQP) last inspected the facility on January2, 2003. A Compliance Evaluation Inspection ( El) ) Report of Deficiency was issued on January 28, 2003. PERMIT: AquAir WWTP's NPDES Permit became effective February 1, 2000. The facility is permitted to discharge 0.0864 MGD treated water from an on -site groundwater remediation system to an unnamed tributary to Steele Greer. The current permit will expire on January 31, 2005. e facility is comprised of the following components. extraction wells, submersible pumps, surge t, air stripper, particulate filter, and flow meter. The AquAir WWIT facility received approval from DWQ to remove the liquid phase carbon absorption component from the treatment works in March 2 01t Documentation of this facility modification is maintained in DWQ's facility file. RECORDS/REPORTS: DMRs and nmintenance records from September 2002 through August 2003 were reviewed during the inspection. facility records and reports appeared to be well organized and were readily available. One deficiency in record keeping was noted, as follows: Marginal N SITE The treatment system not discharging when MCA QP personnel arrived for the inspection, however, the ORC reported that all components were operational d subsequently reset the system components of the treatment system appeared to be operating properly and the effluent discharge was observed. A locked gate and fence surround the facility, providing controlled access: All compliance samples continue to be collected at a designated post -treatment sampling valve. FLOW MEASUREMENT: Both influent and effluent flow e continuously monitored using computer -based technology (Signet vortex flaw meters). The monitoring equipment is inspected for residue and cleaned approximately every 6-months. Facility records indicated that flow meters were last serviced on Feb 10, 2003 d the RC reports that service is scheduled again in the next few week. EFFLUENT/RECEIVING AT The facility discharges to an unnamed tributary of Steele Creel, which is a Glass C water in the Catawba River Bassin. Effluent discharged from the system. during the inspection appeared to be clear and odorless. The tributary appeared to be flowing normally under ambient conditions d no effluent impacts in the receiving water were discernible. SELF -MONITORING Facility effluent monitoring appeared to be consistent with permit requirements with the following exception: 1. The DMR dated.. December 2002 indicated that laboratory hold -times were exceeded for samples collected on December 18. An attached letter from pace Analytical (the contract service °ce laboratory) indicates that a laboratory equipment failure resulted in broken hold - times for 'samples that were analyzed under EPA Method 8260. This constitutes one (1) failure to monitor for each of the nineteen'(1 ) required. VOC.` parameters. The December DMR correctly identified the non-cornpliant facility status. Facility effluent analytical results were reported to be within permit limitations with the following exception: . The DMR dated April ` 003 indicated that the facility failed to "Pass" the Chronic Toxicity test for samples collected on April 8 and April 11. This constitutes one (1) violation of the subject permit. The April DMR correctly identified the non -compliant facility stat d subsequent monitoring was completed per the permit requirements. Two other deficiencies in monitoring were observed during the period of review. loth` deficiencies were related to compliance sample collection, as follows.: 2. The DMR dated: September 2002 indicates that compliance samples; were collected on 9/23, whenflow was reported at 0 1623 MGD. This represents flow in excess of 10 times the monthly average, SELF -MONITORING PROGRAM (Continued): 3. The DMR dated November 2002 indicates that compliance samples were collected on 11 11, when flow was reported at 0.0000 MGD. Compliance samples should be collected, at a time when the discharge is characteristic of the entire period that the sample represents. RATING: Unsaliyfactory OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE: Overall operation and maintenance strategies appeared appropriate for the facility. The grounds and buildings appeared to be well maintained and good housekeeping practices were apparent.

A Compliance Evaluation Inspection (CEI) Report Notice of Deficiency was issued on January 28, 2003. PERMIT: AquAir WWTPs NPDES Permit became effective February 1, 2000. The facility is permitted to discharge 0.0864 MGD treated water from an on -site groundwater remediat on system to an unnamedtributaryto Steele Creek. The current permit will expire on January 31, 2005. The facility is comprised of the following components: extraction wells, submersible pumps, surge tank, air stripper, particulate filter, and flow meter. The AquAir WWTP facility received approval from DWQ to remove the liquidphase carbon absorption component from the treatment works in March 2001. Documentation of this facility modification is maintained in DWQ's facility file. RECORDS/REPORTS: DMRs and niaintenance records from September 2002 through August 2003 were reviewed during the inspection. facility records and reports appeared to be well organized ized were readily available. One deficiency in record keeping was noted, as follows, 1. The DMR dated February 2003 indicates that compliance samples were collected on 2/13, however, results were reported as if collected on'2/1 . The DMR indicates that no personnel were on site on 2/15 to collect samples. The DMR should be amended to accurately reflect the sampling date and results, and resubmitted to NODE . AIING: Marginal FACIUTY SITE The treatment system was not discharging when MCWP personnel arrived for the inspection; however, the ORC reported that all components were operational and subsequently reset the system components of the treatment system appeared to be operating properly and the effluent discharge was observed. A locked gate and fence surround the facility, providing controlled access. All compliance samples continue to be collected at a designated post -treatment sampling valve. FLOW ENT: Both influent and effluent flow are continuously monitored using computer -based technology (Signet vortex flow meters). The monitoring equipment is inspected for residue and cleaned approximately every 6-months. Facility records indicated that flow meters were last serviced on February 10 2003 and the ORC reports that service is scheduled again in the next few weeks. EFFLUENT/RECEIVING ATE' The facility discharges to an unnamed tributary of Steele Creek, which is a Mass C water in the Catawba River Basin. Effluent discharged from the system during g the inspection appeared to be clear and odorless. The tributary appeared to be flowing normally under ambient conditions d no effluent impacts in the receiving water were discernible. SELF -MONITORING PROGRAM: Facility effluent monitoring appeared to be consistent with permit requirements with the following exception. 1. The DMR dated December 2002 indicated that laboratory hold -times were exceeded for samples collected. on December 18. An attached letter from Face Analytical (the contract service laboratory) indicates that a laboratory equipment failure resulted in broken hold - times for samples that were analyzed under EPA Method 8260. This constitutes one (1) failure to monitor for each of the nineteen (19) required VOC parameters. The December DMR correctly identified the non -compliant facility status. Facility effluent analytical results were reported to be within permit limitations with the following exception. 1. The DMR dated April 2003 indicated that the facility failed to "Pass" the Chronic Toxicity test for samples collected on April 8 and April 11. This constitutes one (1) violation of the subject permit. The April DMR correctly identified the non -compliant facility status d subsequent monitoring was completed per the permit requirements. Two other deficiencies in monitoring were observed during the period of review. Both deficiencies were related to compliance sample collection, as follows. 2. The DMR dated. September 2002 indicates that compliance samples were collected on 9/23, when flow was reported at 0.1623 MGD. This represents flow in excess of 10 times the monthly average. v SELF -MONITORING PROGRAM (Continued). - The DMR dated November 2002 indicates that compliance samples were collected on 1 Ill 1, when flaw was reported at 0.0000 MGD. Compliance samples should be collected at a time when the discharge is characteristic of the entire period that the sample represents. TING: Unsatisfactory OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE: Overall operation. and maintenance strategies appeared appropriate for the facility. The grounds and buildings appeared to be well maintained and good housekeeping practiceswere apparent. r 22-2004 17-13 SHIELD ENVIRONMENTAL 7043946968 P.02/03 i I --- ff'ISK AD 1 lmww'nvkdImo.

(Shield) is submitting written notification of permit noncompliance. Shield reported the noncompliance to you by telephone on July 16, 2004. In June, flow from a second recovery well was added to the treatment system. Preliminary results of mid -June effluent sampling received in early July showed carbon tetrachloride exceeding the maximum discharge limitation of the permit, The permitted level is 15.6 parts per billion (ppb) and the level detected was 26 ppb. The new recovery well RW-2 is near the source area and not surprisingly is probably producing more contaminated groundwater, which overall will help with the cleanup. The results from sampling conducted in late June were pending, Analytical results of the late Tune sampling event received on July 16, 2004 confirmed that the effluent had exceeded the discharge limitation of the permit. Carbon tetrachloride was detected this time at 140 ppb, again the permitted level is 15.6 ppb. Tetrachloroethene was detected at 61 ppb, and the permitted level is 31.3 ppb. In early July, 2004, the control panel for the treatment system had a power surge most likely from recent lightning storms. The RTU (:Remote Telemetry Chit) was not communicating with the CPU (Central Processing Unit). For this reason and more importantly because the effluent exceeded the permit limits, the system currently has been left off To address the effluent limitations, Shield plans to re -install the activated carbon treatment portion of the system or use an alternate filter media.

The AuAir WWTP is operated to treat groundwater recovered from the site prior to discharge to the unnamed tributary located on site. In response to the noted deficiency under Records/.Reports, S&ME is attaching the amended Effluent Reports (DWQ Form MR- 1.1) from September 2001 to August 2002 with the corrections detailed by Mecklenburg County Water Qualify Program (MC QP). The analytical laboratory estimates of constituent concentrations below established minimum detection limits (DL) have been changed to display "<MDL" on the re -submitted monthly NP'DES reports as per the requests of MCWQP and NCDENR Division of Water Quality. Although the period of record review was from September 2001 to August 2002, the same deficiency occurs on the Effluent Reports submitted for September 2002 to November 2002. As a pre-emptive measure, S&ME is also submitting the amended Effluent Reports for the period of September 2002 to November 2002. E, Inc. Moiling address-, (704) 5 -4726 9751 Southern Fine Blvd. P.O.

Jeff Price and Derrick Harris of the Mecklenburg County Water Quality Program�(MCWQP) conducted an inspection at the subject facility. This inspection was conducted as part of a cooperative working agreement between Mecklenburg County and the Division of Water Quality. The enclosed report should be self-explanatory, , This report is being issued as a Notice of Deficiency ncy (NOD) because of the findings noted under the Records/Reports heading of the enclosed report. It is requested that a written response, which addresses the ;noted deficiency, be submitted to this Office c� titer than l ettruar E} 3. Phase direct your response to Mr. Richard Bridgeman of this Office, Additionally, please send a cony of this response to Mr. Rusty Rozzelle of MCWt P at 700 N Tryon Street, Suite 205,Charlotte, NC 28202. If you have any questions concerning this report or any other matters, please do not hesitate to call Mr. Bridge an or me at this office. Sincerely, D. Rex Gleason, P.E.

The Mecklenburg County Wafer Quality Program (MCWQP)'conducted the original facility inspection on October 15, 2001. A Compliance EvaluationInspection report was issued on November 8,2001. PERMIT: DES Permit NCO086673 was issued to AquAir WWTP on December 20,1999 and became effective February 1, 2000, The facility is permitted to discharge 0,0864 MC 'treated water from an on -site Groundwater Remediation system into an unnamed tributary to Steele Creek in the Catawba River Basin. The current permit will expire on January 31, 2005. The supplement to the Permit Cover Sheet indicates that the facility is comprised of the following components: extraction wells, submersible surge t pumps, ,air stripper, particulate filter, liquid phase carbon adsorption, and flaw meter, As noted in the previous inspection, the AquAir WWTP facility received approval from DWQ to remove the liquid phase carbon absorption component from the treatment works in March 2001. Consequently, the current permit's description of the facility remains incorrect. Documentation of this permitted deviation is maintained in DW }'s Facility file. RECORDS/REPORTS: All facility records and reports reviewed during the inspection appeared to be well organized and easily accessible. However, during MCWQP's in-house I file review for the period of September 2001 through August 2002, several DNIR reporting deficiencies were noted. Specifically, analytical laboratory estimates below established MDLs, without benefit of low range standards, should be reported as " L". For example, if the MDL is 10 u, L, then the value reported would be <10 ug/L. MCWQP provided detailed descriptions of the noted deficiencies to S&ME representatives. Although none of the reporting deficiencies appeared to be related to overall facility operation or discharge, in that no permit violations were noted, amended 1CMRs should be submitted to the DWQ. AT1NG. :"jar itea FACILITY SITE REVIEW: The facility discharges to an unnamed tributary of Steele Creek, which is a Mass C water in the Catawba River Basin.

RATING: Alarginal FACHATY SM REVIIEW: The facility discharges to an unnamed tributary of Steele Creek, which is a Class C water in the Catawba River Basin. All of the permitted equipment appeared in place and serviceable. All equipment was reportedly functional but no effluent was discharged during the inspection. C FLOW MEASUREMENT: AquAir WWTP's current NPDES permit requires continuous, recording flow monitoring o either the influent or the effluent. The facility employs computer -based tchnolo vortex flow meters} to monitor both influent d effluent flow. The monitoring equipmentgy riet inspected for residue and cleaned every 6-months, flow information is recorded continuously. EFFL NT t E G WATERS: The facility discharges to an unnamed tributary of Steep Creek, which is a glass C water in the Catawba River Basin. No effluent was discharged from the system during the inspection; therefore, no evaluation ofrepresentative effluent was conducted. However, recent rain elevated stream stage in the receiving tributary, causing increased flow and turbidity. This appeared to b a natural condition uninfluenced by the facility operations. SELF -MONITORING PROGRAM. - Parameter monitoring frequencies at the facility were consistent with permit requirements. The NPDES permit identifies Outfall 001 as the required sample collection location, Samples are currently being collected from a valve, located inside the facility structure. So long as the current sample location is totally.: post -treatment, the location is acceptable. RATING, marginal OPERATIONS N & MAINTENANCE: Overall operation and maintenance strategies appeared appropriate for the facility, in that'. the grounds and buildings appeared to be well maintained. Good' housekeeping practices were apparent. A lockable gate and fence surround the somewhat isolated facility structure, providing adequate access control and security,
