Inspection Summary.;
•
Facility manufactures metal brushes for electrical motors using a variety of materials including carbon, graphite and
copper. Inspection conducted with the assistance of Mr. Norb Dickmanni Manager of Environmental Services. Facilitys
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan is detailed yet easy to follow and contains all permit required items. Analytical and
qualitative monitoring are being conducted per the conditions of the general pert -nit. Facility has one outfall, which
conveys stormwater flow from storm 'drains located throughout the facility into.a municipal drainage ditch along the
backside of the property. Exposure of materials and waste products to stormwater has been limited through the use of
shelters, breezeways and "supersacks", which are large water resistant bags used in conjunction with the facility s dust
CollectorS to contain the fine metal shavings from the manufacturing process. Secondary containment is provided around
all above -ground Storage tanks and the stormwater release valves are equipped with a lock.
After the inspection was completed, an assessment was conducted on the company's commutator facility that is located
directly across North Ash Avenue to determine if this separate facility needed coverage under a general stormwater
permit While the commutator facility has pallets stored outside as well as a secondary containment structure with a
locked stormwater release valve around a used oil tank: there appeared to be no identifiable point of discharge. Based on
the lack of S:conbentratedStormwater discharge point it was determined that the commutator facility does not require
permit coverage at this time.

Attached is a Notice ;of Intent to be covered by the NPDES General Permit # NCG500000 and
the necessary $400.00 application fee. Morganite intends to discharge non -contact cooling
water to the stormwater drainage ditch located on our property, intermittently, as required as a
backup for our normal system. This non -contact cooling water would consist of city water with no
additives. Non -contact cooling water is normally sent to a cooling tower and recycled or, in some
cases, it consists of once -through city water discharged directly to the POTW. In the event of
an upset condition in' this cooling system we want to be able to switch all or part of the cooling to
once -through city water that can be discharged to the stormwater drainage ditch. Upset
conditions could include power failures where the pumps recirculating the water from the cooling
tower would not work and other infrequent mechanical pump and cooling tower failures. The
pressure of the city water would move the water through the cooling systems on the equipment
and then to the drainage ditch. It is impossible to route all of this once -through cooling water to
the POTW because our plumbing does not have the capacity to carry it all and several pieces of
equipment are not located near sewer hookups. The discharge to the drainage ditch would be
used as a backup only, though it could be used for days at a time in a major failure of a cooling
tower. A maximum of 100 gallons per minute is anticipated.
The stormwater drainage system wends its way through at least a mile of ditches before it is
discharged into waters of the United States. The local department of public works tells us that
the drainage ditches1discharge into the Black River between Dunn and Erwin but they say a map
of the ditch system is not available.
If you require additional information to process this application, please call me.
