Subject: RE: Removal of Outfalls 2 & 7 from eDMR for NCG030714 (CORMETECH, Inc. Kings
Mountain, NC Facility)
La n ette,
Since there has been a report submitted for these outfalls already, there are data tied to them that we cannot
remove. Here's what we need to do for the time being:
I have added a Monitoring Suspension on both Outfalls #2 and #7. It has to start on the beginning of a month, so I
chose 5/1/2022 (after the date of the inspection). It lasts until permit expiration.
I have added a comment on the permit that these outfalls should be removed at renewal of the permit (that is our next
opportunity to do so without compromising existing monitoring reports).
This means reports for May 2022 onward shouldn't include those outfalls as options to report for. This information
should refresh in eDMR by Monday, so please log on then to see if it's updated.
*The note to perform this action may get missed at renewal, so please touch base with Stormwater staff at that time to
make sure it's done. They can refer to the comment on this version of the permit (version 3.0)

Bethany,

I left you a voicemail message earlier this afternoon concerning the removal of Outfalls 2 & 7 from the eDMR System for
the CORMETECH, Inc. Kings Mountain, NC facility (COC NCG030714) located at 304 Linwood Road, Kings Mountain, NC
28086.
The attached reports were received from Lily Kay after a site visit to our Kings Mountain, NC facility on Thursday, April
28, 2022, by Ms. Kay and Matthew Gigante. Although Ms. Kay notes Outfalls 1 & 7 on pages 2 & 3 of the attached
Compliance Inspection Report (PDF Document), it is actually Outfalls 2 & 7 that exclusively receive stormwater flow from
parking areas and that should be removed from our sampling and reporting requirements in the eDMR System. We are
in the process of removing these two outfalls from our facility SWPPP now. I have copied Lily Kay on this communication
so that she can confirm that the attached report should reference Outfalls 2 & 7 that were approved for removal as
Outfall 1 at this facility does have industrial exposure for stormwater.
I currently have sampling results for the Q2 Stormwater Sampling for all Outfalls and for the May 2022 Tier 3 Response
Stormwater Sampling that need to be submitted in the eDMR System. However, I was hoping to have Outfalls 2 & 7
removed from the system prior to my submission of these sampling results.
Please feel free to contact me via my cell phone [phone]) should you have questions concerning this request or if
we need to discuss this process further.
Thanks!

Dear Ms. Plyler,
Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection Report for the
inspection we conducted at the King's Mountain Cormetech facility on April 28, 2022. Please
note that in the stormwater inspection report summary we ask that you continue additional
sampling and plans for outlet improvements to reduce the stormwater metal concentrations.
The report should be self-explanatory; however, should you have any questions, please do
not hesitate to contact me at [phone] or by E-mail at [e-mail].

Permit: NCG030714 Owner - Facility: Cormetech Inc
Inspection Date: 04/28/2022 Inspection Type : Technical Assistance Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
This inspection was conducted in response to the Tier III Response notification from the Permittee as required per the
permit. Outlet 4 is in Tier III for copper and outlet 6 is in Tier III for Copper and Zinc. The Permittee has installed rip rap and
Metalox Filtersox in the channels of the outlets. During the inspection it was determined that outlet 1 and 7 are not
indicative of the facility's industrial activity because those discharges are associated with parking lots. These outlets can be
removed from the sampling protocol. Additional sampling is needed from the roof drains and a background sample as they
were identified as potential contributors to the exceedances. The facility has plans to improve the outlets with additional rip
rap and anchors for the Metalox Filtersox. The facility is closing the wastewater basin and installation of a stormwater basin
in this area may be beneficial for passive treatment. There are also other metal absorption technologies that can be
implemented to reduce the metal concentrations. Submit all additional sampling to the Mooresville office for technical review
and reassessment of the discharges. If you have questions, contact me at Lily. [e-mail] or by phone at (704)
235-2137.
