PART I-INITIAL INTERVIEW
Has anything changed since the last inspection tr IUP application in the following:
COMMENTS
Product NO
Raw Materials Used NO
Manufacturing processes NO
Categorical,if applicable NO
Production Rate NO---But IU stated production tonnage has been down slightly.
#Employees: 116 Permanent #Shifts: I"12 hours-6:00 am-6:00pm ; 2"d 12 hours-6:00pm-6:00 am.
#Days/Week: Facility operates 24 hours per day, 7 days per week
PART II-PLANT TOUR-Visit all areas where wastewater is generated or where there are drains to the POTW.
Plant Tour Section A-PRODUCTION AND STORAGE AREAS
1. Are there floors drains in the production area? YES
Where do they go?
There are trenches located throughout production&storage areas that are used for containment. There are no drains to these trenches,
but they are pumped to the drag tank There are no floor drains in the new production areas in Building#2.Note:All machinery has been
removed from Building#2.
2.Are production areas diked,contained,or otherwise constructed in such a way as to prevent harm to the WWTP,especially from spills
or slugs? YES
Comments:
There are sumps in the basement floor of Building#2 that would require manual pumping to remove spills-no direct connection to POTW
from these sumps. Building#2 is no longer in service and is mainly used for warehousing.
3.Are there floor drains in the storage area? YES
Where do they go?
Same as#1.
4.Are storage tanks and areas diked,contained,or otherwise constructed in such a way as to prevent harm to the WWTP,especially
from spills or slugs? YES
Same as#1. Oil storage building in SE corner of Building#1 and Building#2 has a recessed floor and no drains.
5.Are process and storage tanks and pipes labeled? YES
IU continuing to upgrade pipe labeling throughout facility
Page 1
f i109 71! /7.ojO

6.How are off-spec raw materials,and products disposed of?
The off-spec raw materials and products are either reused or sold to NUCOR of Monroe,NC.
Also,IU is recycling some off-spec raw materials in-house.
7.When is the production area cleaned?
Floors are cleaned by floor scrubbers once per day or several times per week
8.Is the wastewater from cleaning the production area discharged to the POTW? NO
90%of cleaning water is now detergent free and the water from scrubbers is emptied into the concrete basin(sludge)adjacent to the drag
tanks between building#1 &building#2.POTW receives the water that overflows from the drag tanks. This basin is associated with the
ISO 14001 2015 edition certification. Water evaporates from this and the material is hauled to the landfill. Concrete basin was last cleaned
July 2019.
9.What non-process wastewaters are discharged to POTW?
Domestic and cooling tower water goes through scrubber#1 before being discharged to the POTW.
Part II,Section A.Comments:
• Southeastern Labs maintains the chemicals in the cooling towers by performing checks of the chemical levels and replacement
as needed.
• There is an outside building for storage of new and old oil. It is located on the far right side of the main building. The empty
totes for oil are stored inside until they receive new totes.In addition, an oil shed located behind building#2 is being used for
container storage.
• Rare earth magnets ceased production at the end of January 2015.
PART II-Plant Tour Section B-PRETREATMENT SYSTEM
Ask the operator to describe pretreatment system.
1.Does operator seem knowledgeable about the system? YES
2.Are all units operational? YES
Units in Building#1 are operational. There is no pretreatment equipment in Building#2.
3.How often does operator/maintenance person check system?
Visual inspection and check at the beginning of each shift by the facility maintenance personnel.Repairs are ordered and performed as
needed. This is part of their daily maintenance checklist which includes monitoring of the raw material storage area.
4.Is there an operator for each shift? YES
Maintenance staff
5.How and when is sludge disposed of?
On an as needed basis, the trenches around the system and plant are pumped out and cleaned by the SIU The sludge is put into a concrete
pit outside of Building#2. It is mixed with an absorbent material and then hauled off site by Concord Industrial Service Company, Inc. to
the Allied Waste landfill. The piping under this pit has been plugged. IU also stated the grinding and pressing area are cleaned on an as
needed basis.
6.Is there schedule for preventative maintenance? YES
Grinder recirculation pumps are checked monthly. The system is checked to ensure the water flows properly, but there is no maintenance
required of the system. The system is checked every day and maintenance is performed if needed. There are automatic alarms on the
pumps if there are problems with the system. If these pumps go down, the POTW would receive more water. IU is in process of upgrading
these pumps that incorporate an agitator on suction impellor to prevent sludge from entering pump(IU has changed out approximately
98%of these pumps at time of inspection).
Part II,Section B.Comments:
The scrubber tanks outside of the building act as the pretreatment system. The gases are precipitated into liquid which forms an acid.
Wastewater entering these tanks is treated with magnesium powder mixed with water which forms magnesium hydroxide in order to adjust
pH.IU has recently conducted an upgrade to their pH probe. If pH is out of range, an audible alarm sounds and an alarm also appears
on a monitoring screen. The solids are settled out. The water goes through a scrubber system then discharged to the POTW when it
overflows the drag tank An oil-water separator is also used and a small amount of water is discharged to the POTW from this treatment.

PART II-Plant Tour Section C-SAMPLING POINT(S)AND FLOW MEASUREMENT
(Collect a sample if desired.)
1.Does an outside lab complete sampling? NO If yes,name of lab.
Research&Analytical Laboratories of Kernersville,NC performs analysis only.
2.If industry completes sampling,ask the industty representative to describe sampling procedures.
The SIU collects samples and fills out COC's. The contract lab provides the pre-preserved bottles and a rented composite sampler. Sampler
is set up by the SIU. The samples are collected and packed in an iced cooler and picked up by contract lab.
3.Is flow measurement equipment operational? YES
Meter Reading:79238
4.Is there a calibration log for the flow meter? YES
Part II,Section C Comments:
The flow meter calibration log is typically submitted every six months(January-June reporting period and July—December reporting
period). Calibration is typically performed in April and October.SIU has the means to provide backup power to the flow meter if necessary.
NOTE:Research and Analytical Labs, Inc.performs temperature verification and calibration of hand held pH meter monthly.
PART III-EXIT INTERVIEW
Review monitoring records and other SIU records required by IUP.
1.Are files well organized? YES
2.Are sample collection/chain-of-custody forms filled out properly? YES
3.Do results in files agree with reports sent to POTW? YES
4.Who has authority to shut down production should a spill or slug discharge occur?
Avery Moore,Director of Manufacturing;Jeff Goodman, Maintenance Engineer;and shift supervisors at night
5.How does SIU inform employees of whom to call at IOTW in case of spill/slug?
Monthly safety meetings and the written policy is posted.Spill training is covered annually(Last conducted on October 2019).
6.Slug/Spill Control Plan Required? YES
Last update submitted: January 10,2020
7.Is SIU implementing slug/spill plan? YES
Review procedures.In general,SIU implements spill kits.If a spill occurs, maintenance is contacted immediately. Spill plan is kept in
front office.
Part III Comments:The annual update to the Slug/Spill Plan is due by January,2021
INSPECTION RESULTS
Comments,Required or Recommended Actions Molybdenum and Copper reduction was discussed during inspection. IU has been
addressing Copper issue since inspection on 11/16/2017(copper reduction has been achieved with a pump replacement program that has
reduced copper residue).Note: The old pump seals were failing and flooding motor windings, releasing copper to wastewater effluent.
Molybdenum reduction has been addressed by IU by switching chemical used for cooling tower water treatment with a molybdenum free
chemical.IU will investigate other processes for possible molybdenum sources, including raw materials used.
Note:IU stated traces of Moly was detected in Oil/Water separator from hydraulic oils used at facility.IU followed up with vendor and IU was
told that vendors'hydraulic oils were Moly free.
IU will inform Pretreatment Depa nt of on-going progress concerning Copper and Molybdenum reduction.
