PART I - GENERAL INFORMATION
1. Facility and physical address: Buckeye Mount Holly

Mount Holly, NC 28120
2. Date of investigation: August 26, 2011
3. Report prepared by: Michael L. Parker, Environmental Engineer II
4. Person contacted and telephone number: Eric Bolin, [phone].
5. Directions to site: The Buckeye Mount Holly plant is located just off highway 27 on
Buckeye Drive, 4.0 miles west of the junction of highway 273 and highway 27 in the City
of Mount Ho11y.
6. Discharge point(s): Latitude: 35 ° 20' 05"
Longitude: 81° 03' 33"
USGS Quad No.: F14SE
7. Receiving stream or affected surface waters: South Stanly Creek

a. Classification: WS-IV
b. River Basin and Subbasin No.: Catawba 030833
c. Describe receiving stream features and pertinent downstream uses: The receiving
stream is 4 - 6 feet wide and 3 - 6 inches deep at the point of discharge. There are
no other known downstream users for a distance of several miles.
PART II - DESCRIPTION OF DISCHARGE AND TREATMENT WORKS
1. a. Actual treatment capacity: N/A
b. Current permitted capacity: N/A (new discharge)

Page Two
d. Description of existing or substantially constructed WWT facilities: There are no
existing WWT facilities constructed specifically for this proposed discharge, however,
the wastewater will pass through an existing earthen settling basin prior to exiting the
property. The basin was constructed during the original grading of the plant side and
was originally used as a sediment basin.
e. Description of proposed WWT facilities: The applicant does not propose to construct
any additional treatment facilities at this time.
f. Possible toxic impacts to surface waters: There are a number of biocidal additives
added to the proposed waste stream. Toxicity worksheets for these additives have been
submitted for review.
2. Treatment plant classification: N/A (does not meet the minimum requirements for a Class I
rating).
3. Compliance Background: This facility has no previous compliance history.
PART III - OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION
1. Special monitoring or limitations (including toxicity) requests: None at this time.
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The applicant proposes to discharge a combination of non -contact wastewater, boiler blow -
down wastewater, and roof wash down wastewater to South Stanly Creek. To -date, these waste
streams have been sent to the City of Mount Holly's WWTP, however, high sewer use fees have
necessitated the need to find an alternative disposal option for waste waters not produced in the
manufacturing process. For this reason, the applicant has chosen to discharge these waste streams off -
site under the authority of a General Permit.
The applicant has proposed up to 5,200 gpd of wastewater generation, however, actual flows
may be much less depending on plant operations. This proposed discharge should benefit from the
location of the existing settling basin, which is positioned between the main plant site and the receiving
stream. This use of this basin should aid in promoting biocidal degradation and reducing thermal
contributions expected from the boiler blow -down waste stream.
This Office recommends issuance of the General Permit pending a final technical review and
approval of the biocidal information submitted with the permit application.

Buckeye Mt. Holly LLC has requested approval of 5 chemicals, ChemTreat BL-8631, ChemTreat BL-1253,
ChemTreat CL-4907, ChemTreat CL-4882, & ChemTreat CL-2156. These products will be discharged into
their Outfall 001, into the South Stanley Creek.
Calculations predict the use of the other 5 products, at the stated dosage rates, will not cause toxic impacts to
aquatic life in the receiving stream, South Stanley Creek. Therefore, the use of these products as an additive to
their cooling water system at Buckeye Mt. Holly LLC is acceptable.

Rob- I think this can fit into a deemed permitted activity per 15A NCAC 2H.0106(f)(10)- flows from fire fighting. Deemed
permitted activities also includes flushing/hydrostatic testing of utility distribution systems, so I don't see any additional
concerns from testing fire fighting equipment.

Patrick,
I have a client that has recently been required to test his fire pump pressure bypass valve for 10 minutes every week by
his Factory Mutual Insurance Inspector to ensure that is correctly functioning in the event of a fire.
The water source is potable tap water out of the Fire Water Holding Tank.
The bypass potable water flows to a dry stormwater drainage ditch, and meanders about 2500 ft. to a running surface
water creek.
Should I recommend that my client submit a NCG500000 for an NPDES Permit for this discharge?
Thanks in advance for your response.

• Cooling Tower Blowdown is 2,900 gpd average, and the cooling tower usage is 17,000
gpd average;
• Roof Washdown is 50 gpd average, and this is from a 250 gallon per week washdown
event; and
• The AHU1 in PM1 does have some discharge that goes to the storm drain and into the
sedimentation basin. This is estimated as 1,100 gpd average.
8) The type of chemical added to the wastewater for treatment
Buckeye uses the following chemicals and note that the name, manufacturer, quantity per year
and product use have also been provided;
• ChemTreat, Inc., BL-8631, 8,625 lbs./yr., Boiler water treatment for internal boiler tube
scale/corrosion control, alkalinity, and anti -foam (See attached Form 101_1 of 7 with
MSDS);
• ChemTreat, Inc., BL-1253, 5,907 lbs./yr., Boiler water treatment as oxygen scavenger
for deaerator tank (See attached Form 101_2 of 7 with MSDS);
• ChemTreat, Inc., CL-4907, 1,800 lbs./yr.(Baseline) with an additional 201bs./day as
necessary for mitigating algae growth during the summer months, Cooling Tower water
treatment bromine/chlorine biocide for bacteria and slime control (See attached Form
101_3 of 7 with MSDS and Environmental Information sheet);
• ChemTreat, Inc., CL-4882, 1,659 lbs./yr., Cooling Tower Scale and corrosion inhibitor in
open recirculating waters (See attached Form 101_4 of 7 with MSDS);
• ChemTreat, Inc., CL-2156, 771 lbs./yr., Cooling Tower non -oxidizing biocide for bacteria
and mold control (See attached Form 101_5 of 7 with MSDS and Environmental
Information sheet);

• ChemTreat, Inc., CL-2032, 0.0 lbs./day, Cooling Tower algaecide is currently used for
algae control during summer months, but will be discontinued in the event that a non -
contact wastewater discharge permit is approved and implemented. (See attached Form
101_6 of 7 with MSDS); and
• ChemTreat, Inc., CL-280, 4,608 Lbs./yr., Corrosion inhibitor for recirculation closed loop
hot or chill water systems (See attached Form 101_7 of 7 with MSDS).
9) Completed Biocide 101 Forms for review are attached along with MSD sheets
10) There are no plans to provide additional treatment processes to these wastewater flows
prior to discharge to the non -point runoff discharge.
12) Pollutants:
Since most of the chemical additives in the wastewater are alkaline pH a slight increase in pH
may occur. Some of the additives are boiler additives, and the blowdown will be higher than
ambient temperature. The chemical composition will contribute to the total dissolved solids in
the wastewater.
14) Alternatives to Direct Discharge:
a) The Boiler Blowdown and Cooling Tower Blowdown are currently discharged to the
local POTW; however, there is a very high sewer use charge of $7.80 / 1,000 gallons for
sewer use. Buckeye is ; therefore, requesting permission to discharge these non -contact
wastewaters directly to the on -site storm sewer system.
b) Subsurface disposal has not been considered due to a high overall project cost.
c) Spray irrigation has not been considered due to a high overall project cost.
15) Additional Information Requirements:
a) See attached Figure 1 (7.5 minute USGS Topographic Map). Since this is not a direct
discharge point see Figure 2.
b) See attached Figure 2 (Site Map) since the discharge is not directly to the stream this
Figures shows the stormwater drainage basin 01 which will be the non -point runoff area
for the wastewaters described in this application.
c) See attached letter designating Golder Associates as the consulting engineer
representing Buckeye for this application.
d) & e) Final Plans & Specifications are not applicable. Only minor mechanical changes
are required upon approval of this application.
