Compliance Evaluation Inspection

Permit Number NCS000259
Rowan County, NC
Dee Freeman
Secretary
Enclosed is a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection (CEI) report for the inspection conducted at the Akzo
Nobel and Henkel facilities, on December 22, 2010, by Ms. Barbara Sifford of this Office. The site drains to an
unnamed tributary of Grants Creek, Class C water located in the Yadkin River Basin. The assistance of Mr. Thom
Andersen and yourself was greatly appreciated during the inspection.
In summary the following observations were noted during the Division of Water Quality inspection:
1) Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP)
A stormwater pollution prevention plan has been developed and reflects the current operations at the facility.
Stonnwater from chemical storage areas is pumped to the wastewater pretreatment facility. Freeboard at the
lagoon equalizatiou ponds should be sufficiently maintained to handle the stormwater flow during a rainfall event
2) Qualitative Monitorine
Qualitative monitoring has been recorded and evaluated. Use the state form for rating each of the outfalls. A
copy of this is included with this inspection report.
3) Analytical Monitoring
Analytical monitoring data was available and reviewed during the inspection. When a discharge occurs that is not
stormwater the analytical monitoring that should be performed should be characteristic of the waste in the
discharge. Included with this report is information about field certification and pH monitoring documentation that
should be kept with the monitoring records of the permit compliance.

4 Outfall Observations
The stormwater pond for the new Henkel facility has not discharged at :he time of the inspection. The other three
outfills combine to the drainage ditch around the property. Drainage from offsite entering this ditch could be
evaluated for any contamination coming onto the property but from DWQ files no facilities are permitted that drain to
this tributary. The drainage ditch has a sluice gate that can stop the flow of the tributary should any type of spill occur
that needs to be pumped and hauled back to the treatment facility.
Thank you for your assistance and cooperation during the inspection and if you have any questions
concerning the inspection or compliance please do not hesitate to call this office. Pursuant to G.S. 143-
215.6A, a civil penalty of not more than twenty-five thousand dollars (S25,000.00) may be assessed against
any person who violates or fails to act in accordance with the terms, conditions, or requirements of any
permit issued pursuant to G.S. 143-215. 1.
The report should be self-explanatory; however, should you have any questions concerning the report,
please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Marcia Allocco or Ms. Sifford at [phone].

Inspection Summary:
Managing the freeboard of the VVVVfP lagoons to contain the rainfall events is critical. The overflow of this wastewater
could have an environmental impact to the tributary and to Grant Creek.
Concerns about stormwater draining onto the property from other industrial facilities can be addressed by analyzing for
some basic VWV parameters such as BOD, COD, pH, nitrate & nitrite.
Having a contingency plan for pump failure of the stormwater drainage basins.

Comment: Any area that has the potential to contaminate stormwater is diverted to the
W V 1p on site. In addition regular SW drainlines have valves that can be closed should
a spill enter this drainage system. The main area of concern is the overflow of the
equalization basin during extreme rain events and managing this level to contain the
storm flow from the plant drainage system. This has occurred in April 2007 and January
2010.

On Monday January 25, 2010, as a result of a severe rainfall event (3.7 inches), a combination of
accumulated storm water and partially treated water from the waste water treatment plant (W WTP)
exceeded containment and flowed out the storm water outfall. The event occurred at the Akzo Nobel
Surface Chemistry LLC., located a t 485 Cedar Springs Road, Salisbury, NC 28147. At 8:00 AM,
the operator found a mixture of collected storm water and partially treated water had exceeded
containment and was flowing to the storm water outfall. The event was controlled immediately and
stopped by 9:20 AM. A surveillance of the Unnamed Tributary found foam on the surface of the
creek. The volume of contaminated storm water was determined to be less than six thousand gallons
and sample results were a pH of 9.2 standard units and 35 cob of 1, 2-dicloroethane at the initial
point of discharge which is approximately 500 meters from the facilities outfall.
In accordance with Storm Water Permit, this event was reported on the January 25, 2010 in a
telephone conversation with Mr. Lon Snider of the Division of Water Quality, Mooresville Office.
If there is any question about this response, please feel free to contact me.

• Building locations
• Existing BMPs and impervious surfaces and the % of each drainage area that is impervious
• For each outfall, a narrative description of the potential pollutants which could be expected to be present in the
stormwater discharge.
This forces permittee to analyze the site with relation to stormwater discharges. It is also a tool for the inspector to
understand if the site has changed over time, i.e. if site map does not match facility they must update their plan.
4. Does the Plan include a list of significant spills occurring during the past 3

Comment: Any area that has the potential to contaminate stormwater is diverted to the
WWTP on site. In addition regular SW drainlines have valves that can be closed should
a spill enter this drainage system. The main area of concern is the overflow of the
equalization basin during extreme rain events and managing this level to contain the
storm flow from the plant drainage system. This has occurred in April 2007 and January
2010.

Springs Road, Unit A, Salisbury, North Carolina 28147 - Rowan
County)
Mr. Lowther:
On behalf of Henkel Corporation, Akzo Nobel Surface Chemistry LLC
respectfully submits this notification to modify the NPDF,S stormwater permit
for the referenced facility. The proposed modification is associated with
expansion of the Henkel facility located adjacent to the Akzo Nobel facility.
Specifically, the Henkel expansion plans specify the construction of a retention
pond and associated "new" stormwater outfall (Outfall 004), and the relocation
of existing Outfall 002.
Henkel's expansion activities include constructing a new facility building and
an adjacent parking lot. The construction activities are planned to begin in July
2009. The location of the planned building and parking lot area is currently
wooded/undeveloped property.
Stormwater from the newly -constructed building rooftop and parking area
(non -process areas) will be routed to the proposed retention pond and be
discharged to Outfall 004 (shown on Figure 1 attached). Stormwater from
Outfall 004 will be discharged to the Unnamed Tributary (Northeast Tributary)
of Grants Creek which drains to Yadkin River. No new contaminants will be
introduced into the stofmwater, but stormwater quantity will likely increase
due to an increase in impervious cover on previously undeveloped land.
Proposed changes for Outfall 002 include extending the storm drain from the
Registe offim [ors here] RegistwW number Inumbw hare]

Tomorrows Answers Today
existing location of Outfall 002 to the east so that the outfall is located outside
of the proposed building footprint. Outfall 002 will be relocated approximately
300 feet directly east of its current location (shown on Figure 1 attached).
We anticipate that the monitoring requirements for the proposed retention
pond and outfall will be similar to existing permit requirements for existing
outfalls. The monitoring requirement stated in NPDES Permit No. NC5000259
include:
1. Quarterly analytical monitoring requirements for 1,2 Dichloroethane,
pH, total rainfall, event duration, and total flow.
2. Semi-annual qualitative monitoring requirements for color, odor, clarity,
floating solids, suspended solids, foam, oil sheen, and any other obvious
indicators of stormwater pollution.
All process water for the new facility will be discharged to the sanitary sewer
system, and then to the Akzo Nobel wastewater treatment system.
The attached site map identifies the proposed location of the retention pond,
proposed Outfall 004 and the current / proposed location of Outfall 002.

Dear Mr. Simons:
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. Please review the. draft
very carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains.
The draft permit contains the following significant changes from this facility's current permit:
Analytical monitoring changes:
1. Analytical monitoring parameters, 2-Dichloroethane and pH, have been maintained in this permit. to the
analytical monitoring.
..2. Toluene and Nitrate/Nitrate have 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. You are 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. You are responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote 1 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. This requirement appears in all Individual Stormwater permits, however it
only applies to facilities that do vehicle maintenance. If the facility begins vehicle maintenance during the
permitted timeframe then the requirements shall apply.
Other permit changes:
I. 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 Stormwater Management Plan have been specified in Part II 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. Tile 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.
Please submit any comments to ine no later than thirty (30) days following your receipt of the draft.
Comments should be sent to the address listed at the bottom of this page. If no adverse continents are
received from the public or from you, this permit will likely be issued in about two months.

Central Office Review Summary:
1. Owner's Other Permits:
• Air — 3715900055
RCRA — NCD000623116
2. General Observations:
• Stormwater Pretreatment — This pretreatment Facility discharges wastewater into the City of Salisbury
Grant's Creek W WTP, a publicly owned treatment works (POTW), Significant Industrial Users Permit
#0002. The pretreatment system consists of four lagoons, all of which have concrete basins. All runoff
from the process areas is directed to the pretreatment system.
• Three catch basins are located northwest of the truck scales along the curb. Catch basins are also
located next to the tanker pad behind ]he area III reactor room and at the Area III tanker pad. Another is by
the truck scales. Collectcd rainwater is directed to the pretreatment syst_ em.
• There are three discharge points from the operating areas (SW Discharge 1, 2, and 3). SW Discharge
point #2 discharges stormwater from the Henkel operations onto the Henkel property, with the stormwater
flow then flowing overland, eventually discharging into the "Unnamed Tributary". Discharge #3 collects
stormwater from Henkel and Akzo operations and discharges onto Henkel property and eventually to the
"Unnamed Tributary." Discharge point #1 collects stormwater from the southern Henkel and Akzo
operations, and collectively leave the operating area to Henkel property, eventually flowing to the Unnamed
Tributary.
3. Impairment: Grants Creek is on the 303(d) list for standard violations of Fecal Coliform and Turbidity, as well
as, Impaired biological integrity. Potential sources were unknown, urban runoff/storm sewers or agriculture. The
Basinwide Plan recommendations are as followed:
1998 Recommendations
The 1998 basin plan discussed water quality impacts from the Salisbury Grants Creek W WTP and Spencer
Sowers Ferry Road W WTP discharges and Salisbury's plans to relocate the Grants Creek W WTP discharge to
the Yadkin River. Recommendations were for DWQ to monitor the stream following the removal of this
discharge and for local action to reduce nonpoint source pollution.
2002 Recommendations
Although Grants Creek above the City of Salisbury is not Impaired, impacts are evident. Further investigation
into the causes and sources of biological impacts in the lower portion of Grants Creek is needed before specific
recommendations to improve water quality can be made. DWQ expects to see some improvement below the old
Sowers Ferry Road W WTP during the next basinwide planning cycle due to Salisbury's elimination of this
discharge. However, local actions will continue to be needed throughout the watershed to reduce sedimentation
and turbidity and to promote the production of instream habitat by restoring riparian vegetation.
DWQ's fecal coliform TMDL for Grants Creek was approved by the EPA in 2002. The study revealed that the
sources of fecal coliform in the Grants Creek watershed are urban sources in the Landis, China Grove and
Salisbury areas, livestock grazing and manure application on agricultural lands and pasturelands, and wildlife in
the forested areas of the watershed. The Coliform Routing and Allocation Program was utilized to simulate
instream fecal concentrations and to allocate the fecal coliform loads to the various sources. In order for water
quality standards for fecal coliform to be met in Grants Creek, a nonpoint source load reduction of 33-60 percent
under dry weather conditions and 85-97 under wet weather conditions must be met. The model estimates that
W WTP discharges contribute an insignificant percentage of the fecal coliform loading in the watershed. In
addition, both major discharges have now been removed from Grants Creek. Therefore, the reduction allocation
focuses on the fecal coliform loading from urban sources in the Landis, China Grove and Salisbury areas and
livestock grazing and manure application on agricultural lands. These calculations are the first step in reducing
fecal coliform concentrations in the watershed. Many of the BMPs employed to implement the TMDL will likely
help reduce habitat degradation in the watershed as well. In addition, Landis, China Grove and Salisbury are
Page 4 of 9

NCS000259
required to obtain an NPDES permit for municipal stormwater systems under the federal Phase 11 stormwater
rules. Refer to Section A, page 37 for details.
The Grants Creek watershed (03040103 010010) is one of 55 watersheds in the Yadkin -Pee Dee River basin that
has been identified by the NC Wetlands Restoration Program (NCWRP) as an area with the greatest need and
opportunity for stream and wetland restoration efforts. This watershed will be given higher priority than a
nontargeted watershed for the implementation of NCWRP restoration projects.
4. Threatened and Endangered: Based on the Natural Heritage Virtual workroom there was no protected species
within 2 miles of the facility.
5. Location: C; NSW
6. Industrial Changes Since Previous Permit: Plant Expansion — The expansion will utilize raw materials already
onsite. Additional bulk tanks for raw materials and finished goods were installed. These new tanks were located
in diked areas. The plant utilizes written bulk loading and unloading procedures. Some of the process areas are
outside but they are in diked areas. Stormwater from this area will be treated in the plant's pretreatment system.
All product is drawn off in an enclosed area of the facility. The tank truck loading and unloading area
constructed utilizes a bermed section of roadway.
Increased Flammable Storage Capacity — Additional outdoor storage areas are presently being constructed for the
storage of flammable materials in drums. These areas are under roof and will utilize curbing to contain any
spills.
Catalyst Storage Building #2 — A new catalyst storage building was built to house catalysts that require cool (not
cold) storage. Containers are small and any spillage would be contained inside the building.
Truck scale — a new truck scale is being installed across from the Area 3 warehouse. Concrete drainage piping
was put in. Spillage of chemicals from trucks will be contained by local sumps at the scales.
Pilot Plant Warehouse Loading Dock — A loading dock has been added to the Pilot Plant Warehouse Building
# I,. There is containment in that area for any spillage of chemicals. Any stormwater from that area must be
pumped, and is pumped to the effluent system (not to the stormwater).
Analytical Monitoring Notes: Analytical monitoring was done 5 times for 1,2-Dichloroethane and pl-I. The
values for 1,2-Dichloroethane were below the cutoff values from the first permit. pH was below the acceptable
range for 4 of the samples.
The industry for SIC code 2843 is covered in the EPA Multi -Sector General Permit in Subsector C3 (Soaps,
Detergents, and Cleaning Preparations; Perfumes, Cosmetics, and Other Toilet Preparations) and the parameters
recommended for monitoring is Nitrate plus Nitrite Nitrogen and Total Zinc. Based on the Multi -Sector General
Permit recommendation and since Nitrogen Compounds is listed on the TRI Total Releases and Transfers for the
site Nitrate plus Nitrogen Nitrogen will be added to the analytical monitoring. Zinc will not be added because
there is not a source on site.
Maintain monitoring for 1,2-Dichloroethane and pH. The benchmark for 1,2-Dichloroethane was determined to
be 60 mg/L (from Nikki Remington 4/9/09).
Toluene was added to the analytical monitoring. Toluene was listed as a TRI Total Releases and transfers and is
a pollutant of concern.
h[tp://www. epa-otis. gov/cgi-bin/get 1 cReport.cgi?tool=al lfive&IDNumber-28144NTNLSCEDA R
8. Qualitative Monitoring Notes: Visual monitoring was done from October 1, 1999 to February 3, 2004. Little
signs of pollution in the observations. pH and temperature were recorded for each observation. A few of the PH
values were below 6 but none were less than 5.4.

Revised Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring:
1. Maintain monitoring for 1,2-Dichloroethane and pH. Add Toluene and Nitrate/Nitrate to the analytical
monitoring. These are potential pollutants based on sources on site.
2. 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.
3. 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 l 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.
4. 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.
5. The permittee is responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote I of Tables 1, 4,
and 5.
6. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall parameter is in
this permit, however.)
7. 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:
1. 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 Il Section
A.
2. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Management Plan have been specified in Part II 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.

Discussions with permittee: Richard Franklin (retired) New Contact — David Simons, 704-633-1731, 03/24/09
[e-mail]
1. Describe the industrial activities onsite. Batch chemistry manufacturing plant. Make adhesives and hair care
products. They process indoors and have storage tanks indoors and outdoors. They have an onsite biological
waste water treatment plant.
2. Have there been any changes in industrial activities since the application was filed? Two processes were built
but were indoors.
3. Do you use 1,2-Dichloroetliane or have any sources of it? How much and where? One process has DCA. The
tanks are in area 2 and they recover and reuse DCA in their process. There might be some residue from the
process. The DCA is in a 20, 000 gallon tank.
4. What materials are stored outside? All the tanks outside have secondary containment and are pumped to the
WWTP.
5. Do you have vehicle maintenance onsite? No
The site was sold and there are now two companies that occupy the same space. Akzo Nobel and Henkel. Akzo
Nobel has submitted a change of ownership form and will be in charge of the stormwater permit for the whole area.

SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1. All
analytical monitoring shall be performed during a representative storm event. The required
monitoring will result in a minimum of ten analytical samplings being conducted over the term of
the permit at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO).
A representative storm event is a storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall
and that is preceded by at least 72 hours in which no storm event measuring greater than 0.1
inches has occurred. A single storm event may contain up to 10 consecutive hours of no
precipitation. For example, if it rains for 2 hours without producing any collectable discharge,
and then stops, a sample may be collected if a rain producing a discharge begins again within the
next 10 hours. /\

The benchmarks for the two chemicals that you requested are as follows..
1,2- Dichloroethene (CAS # 540-59-0): 70 mg/L Limited Data
1,1,1- Trichloroethane (CAS # 71-55-6): 25 mg/L
As you can see, neither of these chemicals appear to be very acutely toxic to
aquatic life. As far as phenol is concerned, the driver for this chemical is
organoleptic effects. We would expect to confront odor issues long before we
would see any toxic impacts. The organoleptic criteria is 300 ug/L, per the
EPA's National Recommended Water Quality Criteria. This would be the screening
level that I would recommend, however keep in mind that it is not a toxic
endpoint.

these are parameters of concern and what would the benchmarks be for them?
Also, I have another permit with phenol. Our benchmark document only has a
Trout benchmark and it states the non -trout phenol value was removed because
it was based on only one value. If I need a benchmark for phenol should I
use the trout one then?

Per our telephone conversation of 5/6/08, 1 am hereby notifying you of some changes that have
occurred at the Cedar Springs Plant of the former National Starch and Chemical Company, as
well as requesting that your division issue a renewal permit reflecting these changes. As you
are aware, National Starch and Chemical Company operated a facility located at 485 Cedar
Springs Road, Salisbury, North Carolina. National Starch and Chemical Company was a
wholly -owned subsidiary of Imperial Chemical Industries, a British company. This facility had a
stormwater permit, NCS00259, for discharge of stormwater from the facility to the "Unnamed
Tributary of Grant's Creek." This permit contained the discharge limitations, monitoring
requirements, and other conditions for the discharge of stormwater from the manufacturing
facility of National Starch. This permit expired on September 30, 2004; as you are aware, a
renewal application was submitted to your agency per the renewal requirements contained in
the permit.
On January 2, 2008, AkzoNobel Corporation purchased ICI in its entirety; thus making National
Starch and Chemical Company (NSC) a wholly -owned subsidiary of AkzoNobel. However,
AkzoNobel decided to divest itself of some of the operations of the "former" NSC, including a
portion of the facility in Salisbury. The electronic materials manufacturing facilities, as well as
the transdermal adhesives manufacturing units, were sold to another company (Henkel). The
legal entity for the Salisbury Henkel operations is Indopco, Inc. (which was the former legal
entity of National Starch and Chemical Company).
The current contiguous facility consists of approximately 470 acres, with two separate owners.
A facility survey map is included with this submission. The Henkel operations are located on
approximately 15 acres of the facility, while the Akzo Nobel operations cover approximately 35
acres of the facility, with the balance being undeveloped property. As indicated on the
accompanying drawing, there were three discharge points from the "operating areas"
(demarked by the indicators "SW Discharge #1," "SW Discharge #2," and "SW Discharge #3"
on the drawing). SW Discharge point #2 discharges stormwater from the Henkel operations
onto the Henkel property, with the stormwater flow then flowing overland, eventually
CFFIC7

AkzoNobeO
Tomorrows Answers Today
discharging into the "Unnamed Tributary." Discharge #3 collects stormwater from both Henkel
and Akzo operations, and discharges onto Henkel property and eventually to the "Unnamed
Tributary." Discharge Point #1 collects stormwater from the southern Henkel and Akzo
operations, and collectively leave the "operating area" to Henkel property, eventually flowing to
the Unnamed Tributary. The Unnamed Tributary's flow leaves Henkel property and flows
through Akzo property, eventually leaving Akzo property at the point indicated at Airport Road.
The site's stormwater is managed under site contractual agreements between the two parties.
This agreement allows both parties to investigate any issues associated with potential spills or
releases from either party that might contaminate soil, groundwater, or runoff. A site committee
manages all service contract issues, as well as overseeing any issues associated with
implementation of the contracts.
Based on the physical operations and contractual agreements for managing stormwater at the
facility, it is hereby requested that the stormwater permit be renewed in the name of Akzo
Nobel SPG LLC. Please advise if any further information is required, as well as if there are any
regulatory issues associated with this request.
Yours faithfully,

Re: Stormwater Permit Renewal — Permit No. NCS000259 m cl
Dear Mr. Pickle:
Subsequent to our phone conversation of May 6, 2008, 1 notified you in a letter dated June 20,
2008, of some changes that occurred at the Cedar Springs Plant of the former National Starch
and Chemical Company, as well as requesting that your Division issue a renewal stormwater
permit reflecting the changes. You were informed that National Starch and Chemical Company
operated a facility having a stormwater permit, NCS00259, for the discharge of stormwater
from the facility to the "Unnamed Tributary of Grant's Creek." On January 2, 2008, AkzoNobel
Corporation purchased the facility, and subsequently sold part of the facility in April to another
company (Henkel, whose legal entity name is Indopco, Inc.). The discharge of the Henkel
operations is onto property owned by AkzoNobel, which then discharges to Unnamed Tributary;
thus, no discharges occur directly from the Henkel property, and the request was that the
permit renewal be issued in AkzoNobel's legal entity name.
No changes have subsequently occurred to the physical parameters of the two plants, but there
has been another legal entity name change. The request in June stated that the legal entity for
the AkzoNobel-owned operations was "Akzo Nobel SPG LLC;" on January 1, 2009, these
.operations were transferred to another legal entity named "Akzo Nobel Surface Chemistry
LLC." It is hereby requested that the stormwater permit be renewed in the name of Akzo Nobel I ✓
Surface Chemistry LLC. Please advise if you need further information, as well as if there are
any regulatory issues that are associated with this request.
Yours faithfully /

On Monday April 16, 2007, as a result of the severe rainfall event, an overflow of the wastewater
treatment system occurred at National Starch and Chemical Company located at 485 Cedar Springs
Road. The overflow was discovered at approximately 8:00 AM and was contained within the hour. The
amount of the overflow was determined to be 5,000 to 10,000 gallons. A sample was tested for pH (7.2)
and analyzed for 1, 2-dichloroethane (ND @ 25 ppb). These results are within the limits specified in
National Starch and Chemical Company Storm Water Permit.
In accordance with the Storm Water Permit,:the incident was reported to the Mooresville Regional Office.
The telephone report was followed up.with a discussion of the incident with Mr. Wes Bell, Environmental
Specialist at NCDENR.
If there is any question about this report, please feel free to contact me.

Best Management Practices
1. Structural Features that Control Pollutants in Storm Runoff
• All outdoor storage tanks, process tanks, and reactors are located in diked areas. All
rainwater from diked areas are pumped to the pretreatment system.
• All outdoor drum and bag storage areas are roofed.
• Loading areas are concreted to contain any spills and runoff is directed to the pretreatment
system.
• Curbing is in place in all loading and unloading areas. Collected rainwater is directed to the
pretreatment system.
• Curbing is in place at the major trucking dock at the main warehouse and at the truck scales.
Collected rainwater is directed to the pretreatment system.
• Three catch basins are located northwest of the truck scales along the curb. Catch basins are
also located next to the tanker pad behind the Area III reactor room and at the Area III
tanker pad. Another catch basin exists underneath the truck scales. Collected rainwater is
directed to the pretreatment system.
• All accumulated stormwater from containment areas is pumped to the pretreatment
system.
• The need of new structural BMP's is based on the findings of the semiannual
facility -wide inspection, stormwater outfall discharge monitoring and on any change of
design, construction, or operation which could potentially expose stormwater to pollutants.
2. Storm Water Pretreatment
This Pretreatment Facility discharges wastewater into the City of Salisbury Grant's Creek
Wastewater Treatment Plant, a publicly owned treatment works (POTW), Significant Industrial
Users Permit 40002. The pretreatment system consists of four lagoons, all of which have
concrete basins. All runoff from the process areas is directed to the pretreatment system. A
concrete spillway is in place between the lagoons #1 and #2 to prevent any wastewater from
overflowing onto the ground.
Capacity is maintained in Lagoon #2 to accept an additional 600,000 gallons of water, the
equivalent of a 3.25 inches of rain falling on the collection areas of the plant. Additionally a
concrete lined basin, which is normally used for flow diversion capacity, can hold an additional
70,000 gallons of water. Lagoon 43 can accept an additional 250,000 gallons of water, and Lagoon
# 4 an additional 500,000 gallons of water.
When rainfall amounts are greater than 2 inches, water discharge controls are enacted to prevent any
discharges to surface waters.

Significant Changes in Industrial Activities
Plant Expansion:
The expansion in the facility, mentioned in the permit renewal of 1999 was completed. This
expansion will utilized raw materials which are already present at the site. Additional bulk tanks
for raw materials and finished goods were installed. These new bulk tanks are located in diked
areas. The plant utilizes written bulk loading and unloading procedures.
Some of the processing areas are outside, however, all outdoor processing areas are located in
diked areas. Rainwater from these areas as well as other process waste waters will be treated in
the plant's pretreatment system. All product is drawn off in an enclosed area of the facility.
The tank truck loading and unloading area constructed utilizes a bermed section of roadway.
The drainage from this section of roadway flows by gravity to a containment tank front which
materials may be recovered or pumped to the pretreatment system, depending upon the
requirements.
Increased Flammable Storage Capacity:
Additional outdoor storage areas are presently being constructed for the storage of flammable
materials in drums. These areas are under roof and will utilize curbing to contain any spills.
These areas is not a usage area, so spillage of chemicals should be rare.
Catalyst Storage Building 42:
A new catalyst storage building (#2) was built to house catalysts that require cool (not cold)
storage. Containers are small and any spillage would be contained in the building itself.
Truck Scale:
A new truck scale is being installed across from the Area 3 warehouse (see map). The drainage
in front of the scales was via ditch. Concrete drainage piping replaced the ditch. Spillage of
chemicals from trucks will be contained by local sumps at the scales. That spillage (should it
occur) will be managed as a waste, or via the plant's effluent system. No chemicals are loaded or
unloaded at that site. The old scales will be abandoned.
Pilot Plant Warehouse Loading Dock:
A loading dock has been added to the Pilot Plant Warehouse Building 91. There is containment
in that area for any spillage of chemicals. Any stormwater from that area must be pumped, and is
pumped to the effluent system (not to the stormwater).

renewal of your permit. As stated above, the application form must be completed and returned along with all
requested information by April 3, 2004 in order for the permit to be renewed by September 30, 2004.
Failure to request renewal by April 3, 2004 may result in a civil assessment of at least $500.00. Larger penalties
