We wouldn't technically be able to rescind the permit unless the owner (Detrex, in our records) requests it. But if that's not possible, it would still be good to have a request from Trex, if only to document that Trex doesn't wish to keep the permit active. Rather than require Trex to go through the motions of transferring ownership of the permit, only to then rescind it, we would just inactivate the permit. This would have pretty much the same effect as rescission — the facility would not be shown as having an active permit, so billing would cease, as would all the requirements associated with the expired permit.

To my knowledge, the company is still solvent. Our contact for Trex is: David Craig at dcraie(d)enviroanalyticsgroup.com The AST that is still on site was not a permitted Hazardous Waste Storage Tank. Most likely, it was a product solvent tank and should be empty at this time. Trex completed final closure of the hazardous waste operations at the facility in June 2016. 1 suggest you contact David Craig with facility specific questions.

Ideally, the permitting office would like to close out the permit with a rescission request submitted by the company. I spoke to Andrew Decristofaro about the facility, and he was unsure if the company was still solvent at this time but recommended contacting you for the current facility status and to see if you had contact info for the current facility contacts. Although this is a minor concern compared to what else is occurring on the property, I noticed that one AST is still present on site within secondary containment. Do you know if the contents of this have been cleared out? Any information you could provide would be helpful.

I'm not sure of the best way to move forward. I guess ideally, they would request a rescission of their stormwater permit. Chad or Zahid — Do you know if there's a way to get a hold of the facility and recommend they request rescission? I would just need verification from one of you that there really are no materials exposed to stormwater remaining on the site. If they don't request rescission, we can pursue revocation of their permit since they haven't paid fees and their permit is expired. We generally prefer to have the permittee request rescission, but revocation is an option if we need it. Thanks for your help, Julie Ventaloro Stormwater Permitting Program NC Division of Energy.

From my understanding, the facility has not been active from a production/recycling standpoint in at least three years. You are correct about the current issues on site, as the site had significant soil and groundwater contamination of PCE and TCE. We've been involved with sampling efforts of the adjacent receiving stream, Little Sugar Creek, where we've found TCE levels well in excess of the WQ standards. I've had limited involvement with this facility, but at last check the company was still solvent during the initial stages of the clean-up process. In addition to administrative penalties, I think the facility is facing potential civil/criminal action for intentionally dumping the materials on site. From speaking to a coworker about the site this morning, it sounds like all items previously exposed to stormwater have been removed from the site. I'm happy to look into the site further if you need any more detailed information.

The Detrex Corporation facility conducts collection and storage of hazardous waste materials. The facility has five employees and operates five days a week, Monday - Friday, 8:00 am - 5:00 pm. The permittee conducts testing on solvents before they are sent to be landfilled. All activities are conducted indoors and not exposed to stormwater. Compliance History: The permittee/facilitydoes not have any prior compliance issues with the INC Division of Water Quality. According to Mecklenburg County Water Quality Program (MCWQP) files, on August 12, 1993, a spill occurred on site due to a punctured drum. The material was cleaned up with absorbent pads and did not reach surface waters. A stormwater Inspection was conducted on March 11, 2009 by Ms. Aliyah Turner of Charlotte - Mecklenburg Stormwater Services (CMSWS). A Notice of Violation was issued on March 31, 2009 by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality. Industrial Operations/City of Charlotte Stormwater Ordinance Review: During the inspection, an illicit connection was observed. Further investigation of the illicit connection revealed that it was a discharge pipe from the facility's sink in the storage area. All wastewater must be piped to the sanitary sewer system. During the follow-up stormwater inspection on September 9, 2009, it was revealed that the permittee has removed the sink and piping from the facility.

The permittee did not provide documentation of a Good Housekeeping Program and a, Stormwater Facility Inspection Program. The permittee has not updated the SPPP annually nor fully implemented it. The follow-up inspection found that the permittee provided documentation of a Good Housekeeping Program and a Stormwater Facility Inspection Program. The permittee has updated the SPPP (dated August 2009) including the general location map and has fully implemented the plan. However, the permittee will make final changes to the SPPP when the facility's permit is finalized.

Impairment: Little Sugar Creek (11-137-8a, 11-137-8b, 11-137-8c) is on the 303(d). 11-137-8a is the closest to the facility and is on the 303d list for Standard violation: Fecal Coliform and Impaired biological integrity. 11-137-8b for Standard violation: Fecal Coliform and Impaired biological integrity. 11-137-8c for Standard violations: Fecal Coliform and Tubidity and Impaired biological integrity. Sources for each of the reaches include Urban Runoff/Storm Sewers and Municipal. The basinwide plan described the 03-08-34 watershed. The four streams (Irwin Creek [AU# 1 1-137-1], Little Sugar Creek [AU# 11-137-8], McAlpine Creek [AU# 11-137-9a and 11-137-9c], Sugar Creek [AU# 11-137a and 11-137b]) and their smaller tributaries collectively drain the metropolitan center of Charlotte in Mecklenburg County. The watershed receives large amounts of point and nonpoint pollution from the urban areas, severely impacting stream health in each of the streams. Similar habitat conditions are found at all sample sites within this watershed, sand/silt substrate, Section B: Chapter 5 - Catawba River Subbasin 03-08-34 151 severe bank erosion, and disturbed or nonexistent riparian vegetation. Elevated levels of both fecal coliform bacteria and turbidity indicate impairment by urban runoff and wastewater discharges in all four streams. Water quality in general has remained low but stable over the last planning cycle. In 2002, declines were noted on Sugar Creek (B-2) and Little Sugar Creek (B-3), but this decline was most likely due to the severe drought. Sugar Creek has a TMDL for fecal coliform. 4. Threatened and Endangered: Based on the Natural Heritage Virtual Workroom there are no federally endangered species near the facility and receiving stream. 5. Location: C stream 6. Industrial Changes Since Previous Permit: Detrex Corporation (DTRX) owns two buildings located at 3114 and 3124 Cullman Avenue. Prior to June of 2002, DTRX operated out of both buildings. As seen by the enclosed figures with the application, the 3124 address is a warehouse for storing USDOT containerized products and the 3114 address is utilized for the operation of the RCRA Part B Permit (TSDF). In June of 2002, DTRX sold the product portion of its business and related transportation equipment to the former president of the division. The transition from a single entity to two entities was seamless and did not alter overall operations as they existed prior to the transfer. Former DTRX personnel now work for Parts Cleaning Techologies (PCT). Under a management agreement PCT provides the manpower DTRX need to operate its permit. Detrex has and continues to operate under its RCRA Part B Permit (TSDF) at 3114 Cullman Ave. Under our pennit, this site accepts, stores, and reclaims halogenated solvents via a distillation unit. In addition, the Facility accepts and stores other hazardous, non-RCRA, non -hazardous, and other solid waste streams, in conjunction with the TSDF operation. All wastes are contained within the building at 3114 Cullman Ave. or on trailers located between the buildings. No wastes are disposed of on site. All activities associated with the TSDF operations occur within the building except for the transfer of waste and product into the building under applicable DOT regulations. The new entity PCT, operates their local office out of 3124 Cullman Ave. for warehouse distribution DOT containerized products, cleaning of parts supplied by customers, and as a base for their fleet associated with the transportation of parts, products, and waste materials. They continue to sell process chemistry to companies who clean their own parts using halogenated solvents. The main products sold by PCT are Trichloroethylene, Tetrachloroethylene, and N-Propyl Bromie. The PCT also sells a very limited volume of 1,1,1-Trichloroethane, as this material is no longer in production and the available supply is dwindling. Page 4 of 8 NCS000213 Bulk products sold by PCT continue to be stored at 3114 Cullman Ave due to the location of existing storage tanks. Most bulk storage tanks are located inside of the building. The amount of material stored in the outside tank farm has been reduced by decommissioning and in most cases removing the storage tanks. As of the submission of this request for renewal of the NPDES permit, there is only on active storage tank remaining in the diked lank fame. The outside tank is utilized by PCT for the storage of Tetrachloroethylene. 7. Analytical Monitoring Notes: No analytical monitoring was required in the previous permit. The industry (SIC code 2899) is covered in the EPA Multi -Sector General Permit in Sector C but there are not parameters recommended for monitoring. COD has been added to the monitoring as a potential pollutant. 8. Qualitative Monitoring Notes: Visual observations were done from 3/23/09 to 11/1 1/04. All of the entries say "clear; no sheen, phase separation, discoloration, or strange odors." Page 5 of 8 NCS000213 Revised Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring: I . Adding COD as a parameter. 2. pH has been added to the analytical monitoring requirements. 3. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as defined in Part II Section B. The permittee must also document the total precipitation for each event. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating "No Flow" within 30 days of the end of the six-month sampling period. Additionally, samples must be taken a minimum of 60 days apart, as specified in Table 2. 4. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring have been added to this draft permit. Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. If the sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at any outfall then the facility shall follow the Tier 1 guidelines which require a facility inspection within two weeks and implementation of a mitigation plan within two months. If during the term of this permit, the sampling results are above the benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall two times in a row (consecutive), then the facility shall follow the Tier 2 guidelines which require a repetition of the steps listed for Tier 1 and also immediately institute monthly monitoring for all parameters at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples. 5. The permittee is required to collect all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during representative storm events as defined in Part II Section B. Qualitative monitoring is required regardless of representative outfall status. 6. The permittee is responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote.l of Tables 1, 4, and 5. 7. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall parameter is in this permit, however.) 8. Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with analytical and qualitative monitoring. Other Proposed Changes to the Previous Permit: l . Additional guidance is provided about the Site Plan requirements. The site map must now identify if the receiving stream is impaired and if it has a TMDL established. It must also describe potential pollutants in each outfall. The map requirements are stated more explicitly.' And, the site plan must contain a list of significant spills that have occurred in the past three years and also must certify that the outfalls have been inspected to ensure that they do not contain non-stormwater discharges. Additional information is provided in Part II Section A. 2. Additional requirements for the Stornwater Management Plan have been specified in Part lI Section A. More details regarding secondary containment are provided. 3. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been specified in Part II Section A. The plan must also be updated annually to include a list of significant spills and to certify that the outfalls do not contain non-stormwater discharges. 4. The facility must now implement a semi-annual Facility Inspection Program of the site's stormwater management controls.as specified in Part II Section A. 5. Information regarding the No Exposure Exclusion has been added to this draft permit. If industrial materials and activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described in 40 CFR § 122.26(g), the facility may qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES stormwater discharge permit requirements. Additional information is provided in Part I Section A. Page 6 of 8 i . NCS000213 Discussion's with permittee: David Craig, 248-358-5800 ext 131, 03/11/09 1.

After a review of the various operations at the site and the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWP3) in operation at the time of the CEI, Detrex would like to provide the following responses to concerns raised during the inspection. Facility Description: As a clarification, while Detrex owns both 31 14 and 3124 Cullman Ave. it only operates out of 31 14 Cullman Ave. Detrex operates a Treatment Storage and Disposal Facility (TSDF) where hazardous and non -hazardous wastes are received from offsite generators. Selected wastes are reclaimed on site via distillation while others are shipped off site for processing and disposal; wastes are not sent to landfills. All wastes are stored inside of buildings or in trailers with secondary containment. Detrex leases 3124 Cullman Ave. to Parts Cleaning Technologies, LLC (PCT) for their operations. PCT sells various solvents to dry cleaners and companies involved in metal cleaning operations. PCT also cleans metal parts in an onsite vapor degreaser. Although Detrex and PCT are separate entities, PCT provides the manpower to staff operations at the TSD(: site. As both sites are owned by Detrex, and personnel from PCT are used to staff Detrex's operations, a single SWP3 was developed for both locations. All operations with the exception for the loading / unloading of bulk tankers are performed inside of the buildings. Loading and unloading operations are performed in locations that have secondary containment structures. Industrial Operations: at the time of the inspection an illicit connection, a sink installed by a part time employee, was observed. This illicit outfall was removed shortly after the inspection. To help ensure 04091, inspection response.doc Loo q to, % DETREX future illicit connections are not installed, a review of general permit conditions and the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWP3) was addressed during a training session held the week of March 23`a SWP3: Detrex is in the process of finalizing changes to the SWP3 in response to the CEI. While portions of the revised SWP3 are already being used, full implementation of the revised plan will occur no later than April 271h. The updated SWP3 will include a revised monitoring form, a site inspection form specific to criteria required under the plan, a revised diagram showing the longitude and latitude of the only site outfall, and a certification that the site has been inspected for illicit discharges. Detrex however would like to point out that the SWP3 in place at the time of the inspection did specifically address some non -compliant items noted in the CEI. Specifically the SWP3: required site personnel to document qualitative monitoring prior to discharging water to the outfall (a requirement that has been in place since the inception of the original SWP3 back in 1994), addressed the issues of preventative maintenance and good housekeeping (although a specific inspection form was not included in the plan), and had a site diagram showing the location of the outfall (the diagram however did not indicate the oufall's latitude and longitude). To demonstrate compliance with those portions of the SWP3, the following documents are being provided in electronic format on the enclosed CD; All files are in PDF format: discharge forms for calendar years 2006 through March of 2009, the original and updated site diagrams, a copy of the 1994 SWP3 (developed by ESE), and the initial application for the storm water permit. Qualitative Monitoring: as Detrex specifically inspects every load of stormwater prior to discharge, there is no need for a semiannual inspection. To ensure all criteria required under the semiannual inspections are picked up during each inspection, the `stormwater discharge monitoring form' has been revised to include all qualitative requirements. In conclusion, the revisions being implemented under the revised SWP3 will ensure the site is in compliance with all aspects of the discharge permit and it's SWP3. Detrex and PCT appreciate your assistance in addressing deficiencies in our program. Please feel free to contact me at 248.358.5800 ext 131 if you have any questions regarding our SWP3 or our response to your inspection.

For the last 6 months we have been at full staff, and we have almost cleared up what was a very delinquent backlog of individual permit renewals, of which Detrex was one of approximately 150. Based on very good recent progress, I would expect Detrex to be processed in the next three months. Thanks for your patience to date. Ken bbenson wrote: Mr. Pickle, I am writing in refernce to a storm water permit renewal for Detrex Corporation and Parts Cleaning Technologies. I know you have spoken with David Craig and that you are processing our renewal. However we are also working on our Part B renewal and as part of that we have been asked to verify that we are also waiting on our renewal for storm water. Our storm water renewal was submitted in February of 2005 and if you would respond via e mail that it is in the works that would be helpful.

The facility has five employees and operates five days a week, Monday - Friday, 5:00 am - 5:00 pm. The permittee conducts testing on solvents before they are sent to be landfilled. All activities are conducted indoors and not exposed to stormwater. Compliance History: The permittee/facility does not have any prior compliance issues with the NC Division of Water Quality. According to Mecklenburg County Water Quality Program (MCWQP) files, on August 12, 1993, a spill occurred on site due to a punctured drum. The material was cleaned up with absorbent pads and did not reach surface waters. Industrial Operations/City of Charlotte Stormwater Ordinance Review: During the inspection, an illicit connection was observed. Further investigation of the illicit connection revealed that it was a discharge pipe from the facility's sink in the storage area. All wastewater must be piped to the sanitary sewer system.

This permit expires on June 30, 2005. North Carolina Administrative Code (15A NCAC 2H.0105(e)) requires that an application for Permit renewal be filed at least 190 days prior to expiration of the current permit. In order to assure your continued coverage under your permit, you must apply to the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) for renewal of your permit. To make this renewal process easier, we are informing you in advance that your permit will be expiring. Enclosed you will find an individual permit renewal application form, supplemental information request, and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan certification. Filing the application form along with the requested supplimental information will constitute your application for renewal of your permit. As stated above, the application form must be completed and returned along with all requested information by January 7, 2005 in order for the permit to be renewed by June 30, 2005. Failure to request renewal by January 7, 2005 may result in a civil assessment of at least $500.00. Larger penalties may be assessed depending on the delinquency of the request. Discharge of stormwater from your facility without coverage under a valid stormwater NPDES permit would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and could result in assessments of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day. If you have any questions regarding the permit renewal procedures please contact Bill Mills of the Stormwater and General Permits Unit at (919) 733-5083, ext. 548.

DETREX CORP. 3114 CULLMAN AVENUE CHARLOTTE, NC 28206 Dear Permittee: February 19, 1999 A1� �.�v 01 NCDENR NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES Subject: NPDES Stormwater Permit Renewal Detrex Corp. Permit Number NCS000213 Mecklenburg County Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under NPDES Permit NCS000213. This permit expires on August 31, 1999. In order to assure your continued coverage under your permit, you must apply to the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) for renewal of your permit. To make this renewal process easier, we are informing you in advance that your permit will be expiring. Enclosed you will find an individual permit renewal application form, supplemental information request, and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan certification. Filing the application form along with the requested supplemental information will constitute your application for renewal of your permit. The application form must be completed and returned along with all requested information within thirty days of receipt of this letter in order to constitute a timely renewal filing. Recent legislation modified the fee structure for DWQ permits. Renewal fees have been eliminated and annual fees have been changed. The new annual fee for your permit is now $715.00 (you will be invoiced later this year for your annual fee.) A copy of the new fee schedule is enclosed in this package. Failure to request renewal within the time period indicated may result in a civil assessment of at least S250.00. Larger penalties may be assessed depending on the delinquency of the request. Discharge of stormwater from your facility without coverage under a valid stormwater NPDES permit would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and could result in assessments of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day. If you have any questions regarding the permit renewal procedures please contact Bill Mills of the Stormwater and General Permits Unit at (919) 733-5083, ext. 548.
