Inspection Summary:
Inspeciton was in response to permit renewal. Facility manufactures Acetaminophen (APAP) and PAP. Acetic acid and
ammonia sulfate are generated during the processing. The facility currently has three outfalls.
Outfalls 1 and 2 receive stormwater at the southern sides of the facility. Outfall 1 receives water from a shipping and
receiving bay as well an emergency equipment shed and fire water tower. Outfall 2 receives water from a fire training area
and the dry storage warehouse. The APAP product is stored in the onsite warehouse and is shipped out from the bay.
The remainder of the site, including the majority of the industrial operations, drains to outfall 3. Outfall 3 is located at the
manual siphon at Lake Burkott. The lake was designed as a fail safe where in the event of a major spill, any spilled material
would be contained in the lake or be contained before reaching the lake. The lake does not have an outfall or emergency
spillway and water levels are controlled manually as needed. Stormwater discharging through zone 3 of the facility travels
approximately'/4 mile through spray fields and under a railroad track to reach the pond. Stormwater travels to the pond
through open swales and stormwater pipes to reach the pond.
There is an onsite wastewater treatment plant that functions as a pre-treatment plant before the effluent is piped to the City
of Raleigh WWTP. Several tanker trucks were parked onsite in the fire training area and contained wastewater. The fire
training area is bermed. There are diesel tanks located in Zone 2 (draining to outfall 2), and are stored in proper secondary
containment. There were empty totes stored in several areas onsite, but were reported to have been emptied and cleaned
and were waiting to be sold.
All chemical tanks used in the processing were observed to be stored in concrete bermed areas/secondary containment. A
moderate amount of pallets were also observed stored onsite. The pallets were not stored under cover.
A hazardous waste pad is located in Zone 3. The facility is a large quantity generator. The hazardous waste pad is within a
storm -resistant shelter. All containers were labelled.
There is a used oil storage building in zone 3. Containers were stored in proper secondary containment.
All necessary paperwork was available onsite. The SWPPP is updated annually and all components were present.
