Subject: Brenntag stormwater permit application submittal
Mandy,
Looks like the Brenntag stormwater permit application is sufficiently complete for us to process it, and the Final Report
seems compliant with the SOC as far as my cursory review can tell.
Attached written screening review summary was an exercise for me to be sure I remembered all that had happened
before on Brenntag, and a sort of record for whoever in our unit winds up with this application.
Are all these documents for us, or do you want some of them back?

Brenntag stormwater permit application screening review
6/14/2011, kbp
Tasks: review submittal for compliance with SOC requirements; screening review
for complete permit application submittal. Task results: communication to BB and
Mandy Hall review results.
Background file review
• 11/30/94 - As authorized by 40CFR122.26(a)(1)(v), the Director of the
Division of Environmental Management designates SouthChem for a
stormwater permit based on RRO determination that the site contributes
pollutants to Jordan Lake. Subsequent correspondence in 1998 suggests the
facility may never have been permitted, and raises the question of whether
the several rectangular concrete basins constitute a treatment system and
how that may play into the determination of a ww or sw discharge.
• Sept 2004 - Internal DWQ correspondence suggests the facility should get
an NPDES ww permit based on the operation of a treatment works.
• June 2005 - Internal DWQ determination that the Brenntag site should seek
a ww permit, not a stormwater permit.
June 2008 RRO NOV. Meeting with Brenntag and DWQ August 2008. EAA
submitted to DWQ November 2008. Meeting with Brenntag January
2009. Feb 2, 2009 RRO directs Brenntag to seek an SOC with enforcement
schedule. March 2009 SOC application received.
• October 18, 2010 - A revised version of the SOC, labeled Ad 1, is signed by
B, and in effect.
SOC review
• SOC requires B to segregate sw and ww; evaluate the feasibility of sending
the ww to Durham's POTW; to implement a SPPP; sample the basin outfalls;
sample the process waters under pump and haul disposal; submit quarterly
monitoring results;
• And, by 11/30/10 reroute roof drains, extend canopy, eliminate deep shear
gate system, and reroute truck loading area away from the deep shear gate
system.
• NLT 5/31/2011 B must submit stormwater permit application and final report
and progress account.
• B must submit quarterly progress reports of the work and activities under the
SOC to RRO and to the NPDES unit.
• B may continue to Pump and Haul wastewater up until June 30, 2011. If
beyond, B must reapply (I guess there is no assurance City of Durham POTW
will accept.)
• Attachment A: SPPP due to RRO and to SPU NLT April 18, 2011. KBP
review of SPPP in October 2010 indicated minor quibbles, but generally ok.
• Attachment B Monitoring Schedule;
o Stormwater
• 2/mo for TSS, O&G, pH, conductivity, COD, BOD5, NH3, TKN.
Monthly for: EPA 624, EPA 625, 13 heavy metals
Page 2 of 3
■ 10/10 thru 2/11 and four consecutive months after facility
retrofits (Nov 2010, Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar 2011)
o Wastewater:
■ Same parameters as stormwater, but different frequencies.
• Samples collected from the 20,000 g holding tank;
■ No discharges allowed;
• Sample period is for 6 consecutive weeks after facility retrofits
are accomplished, presumably NLT 11/30/2010.
Final Report and Progress Account review
• May 31, 2011 publication
• Chapter 2, Facility retrofits: cursory review, no comments. Did not check to
see if the retrofits were consistent in details with the SOC retrofit
requirements, presume they're close enough.
• Chapter 3, p. 6. Note that B has been monitoring on the basis of a
representative storm event, defined in part as 0.1" or greater. The new
permit will likely include the revised requirement of a `measurable discharge',
as the qualifying rain event.
• Ch. 4 Stormwater Monitoring activities.
o Note that the monitoring data included for stormwater in Table 2 DOES
NOT capture the runoff from the very significant area of the facility
roof, which bypasses the sampling point. While the monitoring
location used for the SOC may have captured the flows suspected of
having the greatest risk of contamination, that suspicion is
unconfirmed by testing, since the other flows weren't tested. Any
future stormwater permit will require the sampling of all stormwater
discharge points.
o 4.1: note that the final report claims that the samples were analyzed
by EPA Methods - however, the EPA method for pH has a 15 minute
hold time - overnight shipping to the lab in Savannah, Georgia most
certainly did not comply with the hold time requirement of the EPA
method. Too bad that while they were field testing for turbidity, they
didn't think to also do a field test for pH.
o Table 2 - results of the sampling of stormwater and 'non-stormwater'.
Note that the table highlights the sample values that exceed water
quality standards. This information is helpful, but a better comparison
would have been with the likely stormwater permit benchmarks. Note
that zinc and copper values routinely exceeded the stormwater
benchmarks, and that B did not test to the appropriate MDL for
mercury and silver.
• Ch 5 Process water monitoring. No comments. Limited relevance to
stormwater.
• Ch 6 Durham City water. SPU to evaluate the proposition that city water
might be influencing stormwater content for heavy metals and organics. My
initial suspicion is that the volume of stormwater so far outweighs that of city
water that it's unlikely that city water is affecting stormwater concentrations
to any significant extent.
Page 3 of 3
• Ch 7 Possibility of discharging process water to Durham POTW. No
comments.
• Ch 8 Summary and Conclusions. All conclusions as to the source and
significance of organics, metals, BOD/COD in stormwater will be reviewed
subject to re -interpretation as we process the permit application. No further
comment now.
Application screening review
• Check: check.
• EPA 1: Acceptable signature
• EPA 2F: Sufficient, even if incomplete in minor ways.
Summary & indicated action
• Appears compliant with the SOC
• Application sufficiently complete to process
• OK to process the application.

Subject: RE: Brenntag SP3
I've performed a cursory review, and I have the following comments. I have an unsigned copy of the SOC, and I note
that item 2.(6) requires them to submit an application for an individual stormwater permit by September 30, 2010. We
don't have their application as of today. I don't have a copy of the signed SOC, so the final form may be different from
my copy. Here are my comments on the SPPP.
Transmittal letter and SPPP signature page — signed by the consultants; but I don't see anywhere that Brenntag
has signed this document.
1.1—Site Description — generally ok. But,
a. As noted above there will be a stormwater discharge from this facility. Unless conditions of the SOC
were revised differently from my copy, I would expect this facility to apply for a stormwater discharge
permit from SPU.
b. Just a caution - - See p.3, 'Since the first two components of the facility's stormwater collection and
conveyance system do not come into contact with processing areas, product loading/unloading areas,
and/or outdoor storage areas; they are not considered a source of potential contamination of the
surface water.' Granted, these flows may no longer qualify as wastewaters. But, we want to be careful
about 'they are not considered a source of potential contamination of the surface water.' A gratuitous
statement that might be interpreted as indicating that this discharge should not be, what?Regulated?
Permitted? Should not be worth further consideration? - - These are exactly and specifically the kinds of
flows from an industrial activity site that the NPDES stormwater program is intended to address.
Manufacturing facilities, and this one in particular, are notoriously sloppy and routinely unsuccessful in
preventing their manufacturing materials from 'accidentally' getting into stormwater. From inspection
of SPPP Figure 5, 1 note that all three collection systems could have flows that qualify as from areas with
the potential for stormwater pollution. It worries me that apparently the consultants/owner don't get
this basic premise of the stormwater program. The key 'conversion of the heart' intended in the
stormwater program is to get site managers to appreciate their responsibility to control potential
sources of stormwater pollution. That's hard to do, if in your 'stormwater system operating manual' —
the SPPP, you just blow off as inconsequential the flows from a third of your site.
c. p. 4 & 5-both the lubricant tank farm and lubricant packaging areas have containment area drains that
drain to an o/w separator, and from there to the stormwater outfall. We have here two open -sided but
roofed and contained process areas with sumps for petroleum spills that drain through the o/w to the
stormwater discharge. While it is common for the AST farm (covered and contained as per other AST
provisions in our program), it is a bit unusual for the other straight -up, under roof, industrial processing
area to have a floor drain to the stormwater system, (even if through an o/w.) Especially when you note
that the immediately adjacent tank truck transfer area is uncovered and provided with dry sumps that
are manually pumped out, i.e. not connected to the nearby o/w separator. Not sure that we can insist
on any remedial action here, but it strikes me as a risky arrangement.

2. Facility Retrofits
Final Report and Progress
Account, Stormwater Evaluation,
(April 2010 through March 2011)
As established in the SOC, Brenntag agreed to complete upgrades to the facility's
stormwater conveyance system in order to substantially eliminate process water inputs
to the system and to reduce the volume of stormwater that discharges into the
detention/containment basins. The majority of the facility retrofits were completed in
March 2010 including: re-routing of roof drains, elimination of the deep shear gate
system and its components, and reconfiguration of the conveyance lines in the truck
loading area. The final facility retrofit, which involved extending the canopy in the
Acid/Base Containment Area over a section of the processing and handling area, was
completed in October 2010. A site plan showing the components of the pre-existing
stormwater conveyance system (i.e. prior to the facility retrofits) is presented on Figure
1. The completed facility retrofits are illustrated on Figure 2, and a stormwater site
plan that depicts the current site conditions as of March 2011 is presented in Figure 3.
Photos of the completed facility retrofits are included in Appendix A.
2.1 Re -Routing of Roof Drains
Previously, the majority of the main building roof drain system collected stormwater in a
conveyance pipe that was suspended from the ceiling inside the building. The
overhead conveyance pipe then discharged to an underground line which conveyed
the roof drain water to the deep sheer gate system and then into the stormwater
detention basins as depicted in Figure 1. If the detention/containment basins were at
full capacity, then roof drainage would back up into the area surrounding the former
deep sheer gate and have the potential to comingle with process water and other non-
stormwater sources onsite.
In March 2010 Brenntag completed modifications to the roof drain conveyance system
so that it now discharges into the stormwater conveyance line located along the
southern perimeter of the facility (Figure 2), outside of the processinglstorage areas.
This modification consisted of the following:
• Abandoning the existing underground drainage line that connected the roof drains
to the Deep Shear Gate by filling the line with grout.
• Installing new overhead PVC piping for the roof drains, connecting the overhead
piping to the existing roof drains, and tying the new roof drain line into the
stormwater conveyance line near MH #5 immediately north of the rail line tracks
(see Figure 2 and photos in Appendix A).
ARCADIS
Final Report and Progress
Account, Stormwater Evaluation,
(April 2010 through March 2011)
The modifications were successful in re-routing rooftop stormwater sheet flow into the
perimeter stormwater conveyance line, thus bypassing the abandoned Deep Shear
Gate and onsite stormwater detention basins, and then discharging directly into the
unnamed creek.
2.2 Elimination of the Deep Sheer Gate System
A stormwater evaluation, completed as part of an Engineers Alternatives Analysis
(ARCADIS, 2008) of the facility, identified the deep shear gate system as a contributor
of non-stormwater inputs to the stormwater system. The evaluation concluded that
impacted groundwater was infiltrating the sub -surface conveyance line of the deep
sheer gate system. Furthermore, the evaluation determined that during heavy rain
events the system would surcharge and overflow from the deep shear gate system's
upstream catch basin (SW-3), and into the stormwater system at catch basin SW-4
(Figure 1). Thus, potentially impacted water from the deep shear gate system would
overflow and discharge into the detention basins.
In March 2010, the conveyance piping and catch basins associated with the deep
sheer gate system were abandoned in place. The abandoned catch basins, the deep
sheer gate, and approximately 720 linear feet of conveyance line piping were filled with
aggregate and permanently grouted as part of this retrofit (see Figure 2 and photos in
Appendix A).
In addition, a pumping system was installed in an existing vault inside the facility (a
former component of the deep sheer gate system beneath the main building) to
s facilitate the collection and removal of groundwater that may potentially accumulate in
that area (see Figure 2 and photos in Appendix A). The collected groundwater is now
pumped into an above grade conveyance line to the equalization basin, via the
overhead caustic conveyance line (designated OHC), where it is subsequently handled
as process water (Figure 2).
Installation of the caustic area sump -pump system and modifications to the OHC line
were completed in March 2010.
2.3 Reconfiguration of Conveyance for Outside Storage Area Drainage
Part of the abandonment activities for the deep sheer gate conveyance system
included disconnecting the catch basin designated as SW-8. The catch basin is now
utilized as a sump for collection of runoff originating in the outside storage area south
ARCADIS
Final Report and Progress
Account, Stormwater Evaluation,
(April 2010 through March 2011)
of the main building. Two sump pumps were installed inside the catch basin and
approximately 170 linear feet of a new subsurface conveyance line was installed to
route water which accumulates in the sump to the existing on -site stormwater
conveyance line that discharges to the detention basins (see Figure 2 and photos in
Appendix A),
Modifications to the catch basin/sump and the outside storage area conveyance
system were completed in March 2010.
2.4 Extension of Canopy at Acid/Base Containment Area
The trench drain collection system located in the acid tank area was designed to
contain any releases in this area by conveying water directly to the facility's
equalization basin. Liquid that accumulates in the equalization basin is neutralized and
then pumped to a 20,000 gallon wastewater AST, and the process water in the AST is
periodically hauled off by a contractor for offsite treatment and disposal. Prior to
retrofitting, a portion of the acid area trench drain system was exposed to the elements,
allowing stormwater to enter the facility's waste stream (see Figure 1). During heavy
rain events the trench drain system would surcharge and overflow into the stormwater
collection and conveyance line directly north of the trench drain (catch basins
designated SW-4, SW-7, and SW 9). Thus, potentially impacted water would overflow
and discharge into the stormwater detention basins.
In October 2010, the roof canopy in the Acid/Base Containment Area was extended in
order to cover the trench drains located in the processing and handling portion of the
Acid/Base Containment Area that had previously been exposed (Figure 2). This
retrofit successfully reduced the volume of rainwater entering the acid area trench
drains and equalization basin and minimized the potential for impacted process related
water from entering the stormwater system.

(April 2010 through March 2011)
3. Rainfall, Detention Basin Freeboard, and Discharge Monitoring Activities
In order to monitor the rainfall at the facility, a rain gauge was installed on April 23,
2010. Rainfall measurements, detention basin freeboard levels, and an account of
outfall releases from the basins are documented on a daily basis (excluding weekends
and holidays) by Brenntag personnel. In addition to the rainfall data collected from the
on -site rain gauge, daily rainfall data is also retrieved from the North Durham Water
Reclamation Facility (DURH), which is located approximately 3.5 miles north of the
Brenntag facility. The DURH gauging station is one of several North Carolina
Environment and Climate Observing Network (ECONet) stations, which collect and
record hourly weather and environmental conditions using automated sensors. The
T data is uploaded to a database and tracked through the State Climate Office of North
Carolina's website (http:/Awm.nc-climate.ncsu.edu/cronos/?station=DURH). The
results of the rainfall, detention basin freeboard, and outfall monitoring activities
conducted from April 2010 through March 2011 are presented on Table 1.
Daily rainfall data retrieved from the DURH station is used to determine if a
representative storm event has occurred in the area. Prior to sampling, data from the
on -site rain gauge is used to confirm that the criteria for a representative storm event
have been met at the facility. A representative storm event is defined in Attachment B
of the SOC as a storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall and is
preceded by at feast 72 hours in which no rainfall event measuring greater than 0.1
inches has occurred (NCDENR, 2010). The details of the stormwater outfall
monitoring and sampling program are discussed in the following section.
ARCADIS
4. Stormwater Outfall Monitoring Activities
Final Report and Progress
Account, Stormwater Evaluation,
(April 2010 through March 2011)
Stormwater outfall monitoring activities were conducted at the facility in accordance
with the requirements outlined in Attachment B of the SOC. As per the SOC, 4 months
of stormwater and non-stormwater sampling was conducted prior to completion of the
facility retrofits (April through July 2010). The facility retrofits were completed in
October 2010 and the second required 4 month period of stormwater and non-
stormwater sampling was initiated in November 2010 and completed in March 2011. A
summary of the analytical results for the 16 stormwater and 6 non-Stormwater sample
collection events conducted under the SOC between April 2010 and March 2011 is
provided in Table 2.
Stormwater sampling was conducted within a 24 hour period following a representative
storm event at the facility. Nan-stormwater discharge samples were also collected
prior to any discharge of water that had accumulated in the basins that was not
coincident to and representative of a storm event as defined in the SOC. The
stormwater and non-stormwater sampling activities completed between April 2010 and
March 2011 fulfill all the requirements for stormwater outfall sampling as presented in
Attachment B of the SOC. This includes the requirement to conduct two separate non-
stormwater sampling events greater than, or equal to, 7 days following a representative
storm event (non-stormwater samples from November 15, 2010 and March 23, 2011
met that requirement). The sampling procedures, analyses performed, and analytical
results from the monitoring activities are discussed below.
4.1 Sampling Procedures and Analyses
Stormwater and non-stormwater grab samples were collected directly from the last of
four stormwater detention basins from the sample location designated as "outfall", as
depicted on Figure 4. All water samples were collected into appropriately labeled
containers, packed on ice in a cooler, and shipped to the analytical laboratory.
Samples collected in the field remained in the presence of a project representative until
delivery to the laboratory. Each cooler containing water samples included a completed
chain -of -custody form to maintain a record of personnel that had contact with the
samples. Samples were shipped for overnight delivery to Test America, Inc. in
f ' Savannah, Georgia, via Federal Express.
Samples were submitted for the full suite of laboratory analyses as required by the
SOC including: total suspended solids (TSS) by Standard Method 2540D, oil and
grease by United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Method 1664A,

beryllium, cadmium, copper, chromium, lead, mercury, nickel, selenium, silver,

In addition, an aliquot of water was collected and field tested for turbidity by USEPA
Method 180.1 using a portable turbidimeter.
4.2 Stormwater and Non-Stormwater Sample Analytical Results
The analytical results for stormwater and non-stormwater samples collected in April
2010 through March 2011 (Table 2), indicate that several VOCs were detected in the
samples at relatively low concentrations including: acetone, bromodichloromethane,
chloroethane, chloroform, 1,1-dichloroethane, toluene, 1,1,1-trichloroethane,
trichloroethene, and vinyl chloride. Three VOCs (bromodichloromethane, chloroform,
and vinyl chloride) were detected in the stormwater samples at concentrations that
exceeded surface water standards, and five VOCs (chloroethane, chloroform, toluene,
trichloroethene, and vinyl chloride) were detected in the non-stormwater samples at
^• concentrations that exceeded surface water standards (see Table 2). No SVOCs were
detected in any of the stormwater or non-stormwater samples collected between April
2010 and March 2011. Total nitrogen and ammonia were detected at low
concentrations in a majority of the samples collected in April 2010 through March 2011.
In general, the SOD and COD results for the samples collected between April 2010
and March 2011 were relatively low. The BOD results for the 22 samples collected
between April 2010 and March 2011 ranged from 2.1 milligrams per liter (mg/L) to 170
mg1L (see Table 2), with an average concentration of 22.1 mg/L. The COD results for
the 22 samples collected between April 2010 and March 2011 ranged from 20 mg/L to
340 mg/L (see Table 2), with an average concentration of 70.4 mg/L. Elevated
concentrations of two metals (zinc and copper) were also detected in the stormwater
and non-stormwater samples at concentrations that exceeded the surface water
standards for those two compounds; however, these concentrations are very
consistent with the concentrations of zinc and copper detected in the facility's potable
water supplied by the City of Durham.
ARCADIS
Final Report and Progress
Account, Stormwater Evaluation,
(April 2010 through March 2011)
Overall, the stormwater and non-stormwater sample analytical data continue to
indicate that the water that is accumulating in the detention basins is primarily not
impacted with VOCs or SVOCs that could be associated with chemicals that are
handled or stored at the site. This applies to water accumulating during rain events
and water accumulating during periods without rain. The low concentrations of VOCs
that have been detected in the stormwater and non-stormwater samples may however
be associated with some degree of groundwater and/or Durham city water infiltration
into the stormwater system. VOCs that were detected in the stormwater and non-
stormwater samples also have been detected in the groundwater at the site, and two of
the VOCs (bromodichloromethane and chloroform) have been detected in the Durham
city water samples collected from the site. In addition, elevated concentrations of zinc
and copper detected in the stormwater and non-stormwater samples would appear to
be associated with infiltration of Durham city water into the stormwater system as these
two metals have been detected at similar concentrations in Durham city water samples
collected from the site.

5. Industrial Process Water Monitoring Activities
Final Report and Progress
Account, Stormwater Evaluation,
(April 2010 through March 2011)
y. Industrial process water monitoring activities were conducted at the facility in
November and December 2010 in accordance with the requirements outlined in
Attachment B of the SOC. As per the SOC, 6 weeks of process water sampling was
conducted following completion of the facility retrofits. The facility retrofits were
completed in October 2010 and the required 6 week period for process water sampling
occurred from November 1 through December 12, 2010. A total of six process water
samples were collected during this time period. A summary of the industrial process
water accumulation, sampling, and disposal information for the period of November
2010 through March 2011 is provided in Table 3. A summary of the analytical results
for the process water sample collection events conducted in November through
December 2010 is provided in Table 4. The sampling procedures, analyses
performed, and analytical results from the industrial process water monitoring activities
are discussed below.
5.1 Sampling Procedures and Analyses
Industrial process water sampling activities were conducted on November 4, 12, 19,
23, and December 1 and 8, 2010. The sampling events consisted of collection of grab
samples directly from a spigot located on the 20,000 gallon AST from the sample
location designated as "Process Water", as depicted on Figure 4. The AST is used to
4 store the facility's process water prior to the water being shipped offsite for disposal.
All water samples were collected into appropriately labeled containers, packed on ice
in a cooler, and shipped to the analytical laboratory. Samples collected in the field
remained in the presence of a project representative until delivery to the laboratory.
Each cooler containing water samples included a completed chain -of -custody form to
maintain a record of personnel that had contact with the samples. Samples were
shipped for overnight delivery to Test America, Inc. in Savannah, Georgia, via Federal
Express.
Samples were submitted for a range of laboratory analyses as prescribed in the SOC
including: total suspended solids (TSS) by Standard Method 2540D, oil and grease by
United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Method 1664A, pH by
USEPA Method 150.1, conductivity by USEPA Method 120.1, total and dissolved
chemical oxygen demand (COD) by USEPA Method 410.4, total and dissolved
biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) by USEPA Method 405.1, total and dissolved

In addition, an aliquot of water was collected and field tested for turbidity by USEPA
Method 180.1 using a portable turbidimeter.
5.2 Industrial Process Water Sample Analytical Results
The analytical results for the industrial process water samples collected in November
and December 2010 (Table 4), indicate that several VOCs and SVOCs were detected
in the samples at low to moderate concentrations including: acetone, bromomethane,
chloroform, chloromethane, tetrachloroethene, phenol, and bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate.
As seen in Table 4, total nitrogen and ammonia were detected at very high
concentrations in three of the four samples that were analyzed for those compounds.
The BOD results for the four samples that were analyzed for BOD were all consistently
very high ranging from 3,100 mg/L to 9,600 mg/L. The COD results for the four
samples that were analyzed for COD also were all consistently very high ranging from
10,000 mg/L to 12,000 mg/L. Highly elevated concentrations of several metals were
detected in the process water samples including: chromium, zinc, copper, and nickel.

6, Durham City Water Sampling Activities
Final Report and Progress
Account, Stormwater Evaluation,
(April 2010 through March 2011)
Durham city water sampling activities were conducted at the facility in January 2011.
While not required by the SOC, samples of the Durham city water supply at the facility
were collected to assist in the evaluation of the quality of the city water that is utilized
onsite at the facility. A total of four city water samples were collected on January 7,
2011. The samples were collected from spigots at four locations across the facility
(Figure 4). Three of the four city water samples were analyzed for metals only, and
one of the city water samples was analyzed for the full suite of analytical parameters to
match the suite of analytical parameters used for the stormwater and non-stormwater
samples.
A summary of the analytical results for the Durham city water samples collected on
January 7, 2011 is provided in Table 5.
6.1 Durham City Water Sample Analytical Results
The analytical results for the city water samples collected on January 7, 2011 indicate
that the city water contains several compounds that are also being detected in the
stormwater and non-stormwater samples, and the concentrations of these compounds
are very similar to those detected in the stormwater and non-stormwater samples.
Two VOCs (bro mod i chloro methane and chloroform) were detected in the city water
sample which was submitted for the full suite of analyses. The VOCs were detected at
concentrations exceeding surface water standards (see Table 5). These same two
VOCs have been detected in stormwater and non-stormwater samples at similar
concentrations (see Table 2). In addition, the city water sample which was submitted
for the full suite of analyses contained concentrations of ammonia and total nitrogen
similar to those detected in the stormwater and non-stormwater samples (see Table 2
and Table 5).
Elevated concentrations of metals (zinc and/or copper) were detected in all four of the
city water samples. The concentrations of copper detected in the city water samples
exceeded the surface water standard for copper in two of the four city water samples,
and the concentrations of zinc detected in the city water samples exceeded the surface
water standard for zinc in all four city water samples. In addition, the zinc and copper
concentrations detected in the city water samples were generally higher than the
concentrations of the zinc and copper detected in the stormwater and non-stormwater
samples. It should also be noted that SOD and COD were not detected in the city
water sample which was submitted for the full suite of analyses.

ARCADIS
Final Report and Progress
Account, Stormwater Evaluation,
(April 2010 through March 2011)
Based on the analytical results from the four city water samples, it appears that at least
some of the compounds that are being detected in the stormwater and non-stormwater
samples could be originating from city water infiltrating into the stormwater system. In
particular the detections of zinc and copper in the stormwater and non-stormwater
samples may be directly related to infiltration of city water.

7. Feasibility of Routing Industrial Process Water to City of Durham Sanitary
Sewer
Currently, process water associated with site activities is temporarily containerized
within a 20,000 gallon AST located within the vicinity of the equalization basin.
Process water originating from the overhead caustic line and the acid/base
containment area trench drain system is discharged into the equalization basin, where
it is neutralized prior to being pumped into the AST. The AST is equipped with a float -
type sight gage that indicates the storage capacity remaining in the tank. The AST is
also equipped with an automated high level alarm.
The site's process water is disposed of by periodically pumping and hauling the waste
water to an off -site facility properly permitted for disposal. The wastewater is hauled by
Hilco Transport (Greensboro, North Carolina), and treated and disposed at the HOH
Corporation located in Winston Salem, North Carolina (EPA ID# NCR000012260).
In accordance with the SOC, Brenntag has been evaluating the feasibility of routing the
discharge of process water to the City of Durham's sanitary sewer system. As such,
Brenntag submitted an Industrial User Wastewater Survey and Permit Application
(Appendix B) to the City of Durham Department of Water Management (DWM) on
April 28, 2009. The DWM subsequently issued a letter indicating that they wanted to
wait until Brenntag completed their facility retrofits and process water sampling
activities under the requirements of the SOC prior to further evaluating Brenntag's
Permit Application. The results of the process water sampling activities conducted in
November and December 2010 were recently submitted to the City of Durham DWO.
Brenntag is re-establishing correspondence with the DWM to determine the
pretreatment requirements (if any) for the proposed discharge. Once the pretreatment
standards are established, an evaluation of the technical and economic feasibility of
discharging to the DWM sanitary sewer system will be initiated.

8. Summary and Conclusions
Final Report and Progress
Account, Stormwater Evaluation,
(April 2010 through March 2011)
Based on the analytical data from the stormwater/non-stormwater samples, process
water samples, and Durham city water samples collected over the period of April 2010
through March 2011, several general conclusions were developed. A summary of the
stormwater/non-stormwater sample analytical results along with associated
conclusions are presented below.
8.1 VOCs and SVOCs in StormwaterlNon-Stormwater Samples
The analytical results for stormwater and non-stormwater samples collected in April
2010 through March 2011 indicate that several VOCs were detected in the samples at
relatively low concentrations including: acetone, bromodichloromethane, chloroethane,
chloroform, 1,1-dichloroethane, toluene, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, trichloroethene, and
vinyl chloride. Three VOCs (bromodichloromethane, chloroform, and vinyl chloride)
were detected in the stormwater samples at concentrations that exceeded surface
water standards, and five VOCs (chloroethane, chloroform, toluene, trichloroethene,
and vinyl chloride) were detected in the non-stormwater samples at concentrations that
exceeded surface water standards. No SVOCs were detected in any of the stormwater
or non-stormwater samples collected between April 2010 and March 2011.
The stormwater and non-stormwater analytical data collected in April 2010 through
March 2011 indicate that the water that is accumulating in the detention basins is not
impacted with significant concentrations of VOCs that would be associated with
chemicals that are handled or stored at the site. In addition, no SVOCs have been
detected in the stormwater and non-stormwater samples. This would indicate that
Brenntag has implemented successful handling and storage practices for facility
chemicals that could introduce VOCs and/or SVOCs into the stormwater management
system at the site. The low concentrations of VOCs that have been sporadically
detected in stormwaterinon-stormwater samples may originate from several potential
sources including: normal runoff from paved areas at the facility, limited infiltration of
groundwater into the facility stormwater system, and/or introduction of Durham city
water into the stormwater system (housekeeping sources). Several of the VOCs that
have been sporadically detected at low concentrations in the stormwater and non-
stormwater samples also have been detected in the groundwater at the site; however,
groundwater infiltration should be very limited because the existing stormwater
management structures have been lined and epoxy coated. The introduction of
Durham city water into the stormwater system (e.g. washdown water) could account for
two of the VOCs detected in the stormwater and non-stormwater samples (chloroform

(April 2010 through March 2011)
and bromodichloromethane), as these two compounds also have been detected in the
Durham city water. See Section 8.4 for a more detailed discussion on how the city
water is suspected to be entering the stormwater management system.
8.2 Metals in Stormwater/Non-Stormwater Samples
Elevated concentrations of two metals (zinc and copper) have been detected in the
stormwater and non-stormwater samples at concentrations that exceeded the surface
water standards for those two compounds. The zinc results for the 22 samples
collected between April 2010 and March 2011 ranged from 120 micrograms per
liter (µg/L) to 500 µg/L. The copper results for the 22 samples collected between April
2010 and March 2011 ranged from 7.4 µg/L µg/L to 14 µglL. The concentrations of
zinc and copper detected in the stormwater and non-stormwater samples are very
consistent with the concentrations of zinc and copper detected in the facility's water
supplied by the City of Durham. The zinc and copper concentrations detected above
reporting limits in the four city water samples ranged from 420 pg/L to 1,200 pg/L and
17 pg/L to 30 pg/L, respectively. This provides a line of evidence that the zinc and
copper detections in the stormwater and non-stormwater samples could be associated
with the introduction of Durham city water into the stormwater management system.
See Section 8.4 for a more detailed discussion on how the city water is suspected to
be entering the stormwater management system.
8.3 BOD and COD in StormwaterlNon-Stormwater Samples
In general, the BOD and COD results for the stormwater and non-stormwater samples
collected between April 2010 and March 2011 were relatively low. The BOD results for
the 22 samples collected between April 2010 and March 2011 ranged from 2.1
milligrams per liter (mglL) to 170 mg/L, with an average concentration of 22.1 mg/L.
The COD results for the 22 samples collected between April 2010 and March 2011
ranged from 20 mglL to 340 mg/L, with an average concentration of 70.4 mg/L.
Although the majority of the detections of BOD and COD were relatively low, there was
enough variability in the detections to indicate that a non-stormwater source was
potentially entering the stormwater system and impacting the BOD and COD
concentrations.
As a comparison to the stormwater and non-stormwater BOD and COD results, the
BOD results for the four process water samples were all consistently very high, ranging
from 3,100 mg/L to 9,600 mg/L. The COD results for the four process water samples
that were analyzed for COD also were all consistently very high, ranging from 10,000
lire
ARCADIS

Account, Stormwater Evaluation,
(April 2010 through March 2011)
mg/L to 12,000 mg/L. The BOD and COD results for the process water samples
demonstrate that even a small amount of process water entering the stormwater
system could likely have a significant impact on the BOD and COD concentrations in
the stormwater/non-stormwater samples.
Because our analytical data primarily eliminated VOCs and SVOCs as constituents of
concern that might be creating elevated BOD and COD in the stormwater/non-
stormwater samples, we focused on other chemicals that are handled and stored at the
facility to determine what might be causing the elevated, and somewhat variable, BOD
and COD results for stormwater/non-stormwater samples. It was determined that
acetic acid is one of the primary chemicals stored and handled in the Acid/Base
Containment Area (see Figure 3), and that relatively small quantities of acetic acid can
yield elevated BOD and COD in stormwater (1.0 mg/L of acetic acid/acetate will yield
up to 0.9 mg/L of BOD). Therefore, the product handling and storage activities
conducted in the Acid/Base Containment Area were further reviewed to determine if a
pathway exists for acetic acid to enter the stormwater system in that area. The
following section discusses how acetic acid may be entering the stormwater
management system.
8.4 Potential Source of Elevated Metals and BODICOD for Stormwaterinon-Stormwater
Samples
T, The process water that is generated in the Acid/Base Containment Area is expected to
contain considerable concentrations of acetic acid. This process water is routed to the
equalization basin via the acid area trench drain system (see Figure 3). Based on site
observations, it appears that process water from the acid area trench drain may
intermittently have the potential to enter the stormwater system. Prior to retrofitting, a
portion of the acid area trench drain system was exposed to the elements, allowing
stormwater to enter the trench drain system. During heavy rain events the trench drain
system would surcharge and overflow into the stormwater collection and conveyance
line directly north of the trench drain (catch basins designated SW-4, SW-7, and
SW-9). Thus, potentially impacted water would overflow and discharge into the
stormwater detention basins.
In October 2010, the roof canopy in the Acid/Base Containment Area was extended in
order to cover the trench drains located in the processing and handling portion of the
Acid/Base Containment Area that had previously been exposed (Figure 2). This
retrofit successfully reduced the volume of rainwater entering the acid area trench
drains and equalization basin and minimized the potential for impacted process related
17

Account, Stormwater Evaluation,
(April 2010 through March 2011)
water from entering the stormwater system. However, city water used to wash down
drums and the floor in the Acid/Base Containment Area still has the potential to
accumulate in the trench drain, and if the trench drain system is not emptied into the
equalization basin, the city water which accumulates in the trench drain can still
overflow the trench drain and enter the same stormwater catch basins listed above.
This wash down water would have elevated zinc and copper concentrations as it
originates from city water, and it could have significant concentrations of acetic acid
depending on the amount of acetic acid that was being processed on any given day. It
appears that the surcharging of the trench drain system in the Acid/Base Containment
Area is the most likely explanation for the elevated zinc, copper, BOD and COD
concentrations which have been detected in the stormwater/non-stormwater samples
collected in the period of April 2010 through March 2011.

9. Recommendations
Final Report and Progress
Account, Stormwater Evaluation,
(April 2010 through March 2011)
This section provides recommendations for specific revised facility operational
procedures to address elevated metals, BOD and COD concentrations detected in
stormwater/non-stormwater samples.
• The valve that drains process water from the trench drain system in the Acid/Base
Containment Area should remain normally open so that process water does not
accumulate in the trench drain and this should eliminate the potential for
surcharging the trench drain and subsequent overflows into the stormwater
collection and conveyance system.
• A high level alarm should be installed for the equalization basin to avoid overfilling.
• A schedule for epoxy coating of the trench drain system should be established that
would be effective at maintaining an adequate epoxy coating on the trench drain
system components.
• The sloping of the concrete floor in the Acid/Base Containment Area should be
evaluated to determine if modifications would improve separation of process water
from stormwater catch basins and restriction of stormwater from entering the
trench drain system.
• Additional training should be provided to the Brenntag personnel that work in the
Acid/Base Containment Area to ensure they are aware of the importance of
keeping process water from accumulating in the trench drain system, and
particularly to avoid any scenario that allows process water to enter the nearby
stormwater catch basins.

Notes:
1 Data retrieval from DURH station - North Durham Water Reclamation Facility (approximately 3.5 miles north of Bmmtag Facility), httpd/www nr climate.ncsu.edu/cronosl7station=DURH
2 Data retrieved from on -site min gauge and recorded by Brenntag personnel. The reported value represents the total rainfall accumulation since the last reading.
Data from DURH station is fast used to determine if representative rainfall event criteria was met. Data from on -site rain gauge is used to confirm that a representative rainfall event has occurred at the site.
3 Basin freeboard depths are measured in feet from top of grate to water level.
4 The stormwater / non-stormwater sampling activities were conducted during specific time periods as per the requirements of the SOC. The first 4 month sampling period extended from April through July 20I0,
followed by a 3 month period of no sampling while facility retrofits were completed, followed by the second 4 month period which extends from November 2010 through Febnuuy 2011.

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SP3)
1, Site Plan. The site plan shall provide a description of the physical facility and the potential
pollutant sources which may be expected to contribute to contamination of stormwater
discharges. The site plan shall contain the following:
(a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle map or appropriately drafted equivalent map),
showing the facility's location in relation to transportation routes and surface waters, the
name of the receiving water(s) to which the stormwater outfall(s) discharges, or if the
discharge is to a municipal separate storm sewer system, the name of the municipality
and the ultimate receiving waters, and accurate latitude and longitude of the point(s) of
discharge. The map should identify whether each receiving water is impaired (on the
state's 303(d) list of impaired waters) or is located in a watershed for which a TMDL
has been established, and what the parameter(s) of concern are. North Carolina's
303(d) list can be found at www.ncwaterquality.org.
(b) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities, outdoor
process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and waste disposal
practices. A narrative description of the potential pollutants which could be expected to
be present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall.
(c) A site map drawn to scale (including a distance legend) showing: the site property
boundary, the stormwater discharge points, all on -site and adjacent surface waters and
wetlands, industrial activity areas (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process
areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads), site topography, all drainage
features and structures, drainage areas for each outfall, industrial activities occurring in
each drainage area, buildings, existing BMPs, and impervious surfaces. The site map must
indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious and include flow
direction.
(d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred at the facility during the
three (3) previous years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts.
(e) Certification that the stormwater outfalis have been evaluated for the presence of non-
stormwater discharges.
Z. Stormwater Management Plan. The stormwater management plan shall contain a narrative
description of the materials management practices employed which control or minimize the
exposure of significant materials to stormwater, including structural and nonstructural measures.
The stormwater management plan, at a minimum, shall incorporate the following:
(a) Feasibility Study. A review of the technical and economic feasibility of changing the
methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure of
materials and processes to stormwater. Wherever practical, Brenntag shall prevent
exposure of all storage areas, material handling operations, and manufacturing or fueling
operations. In areas where elimination of exposure is not practical, the stormwater
management plan shall document the feasibility of diverting the stormwater runoff away
from areas of potential contamination.
(b) Secondary Containment Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is required
for: bulk storage of liquid materials; storage in any amount of Section 313 of Title III of
Srenntag Southeast, Inc.
Page 1 of 3
Attachment A,,
EMC SOC WQ No. S09-006 Ad I
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SP3)
the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority chemicals; and
storage in any amount of hazardous substances, in order to prevent leaks and spills from
contaminating stormwater runoff. A table or summary of all such tanks and stored
materials and their associated secondary containment areas shall be maintained. If the
secondary containment devices are connected directly to stormwater conveyance
systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually activated valves or other similar
devices (which shall be secured closed with a locking mechanism), and any stormwater
that accumulates in the containment area shall be at a minimum visually observed for
color, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the
accumulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be
uncontaminated by the material stored within the containment area. Records
documenting the individual making the observation, the description of the accumulated
stormwater, and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a period of five years.
(c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management Practices
(BMP) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs shall be based on
the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute significant quantities of
pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected through monitoring of stormwater
discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a written record of the specific rationale for
installation and implementation of the selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be
reviewed and updated annually
3. Spill Prevention and Response Plan. The Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP) shall
incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials inventory of the
facility. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the SPRP shall be identified in a
written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and dated by each individual acknowledging
their responsibilities for the plan. An employee trained in chemical hazard identification and
Brenntag's spill notification protocol shall be on -site at all times during facility operations that
have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or exposure of materials
associated with the .facility operations. The SPRP must be site stormwater specific. Therefore, an
oil Spill Prevention and Containment Control (SPCC) plan may be a component of the SPRP but
may not be sufficient to completely address the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common
elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may be incorporated by reference into the SPRP. Based on
the materials inventory for the facility, provide a detailed plan for cleaning up any chemical in the
event of a spill or chemical release.
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance
program shall be developed. The program shall list all stormwater control systems, stormwater
discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial activity areas
(including material storage areas, material handling areas, disposal areas, process areas, loading
and unloading areas, and haul roads), all drainage features and structures and existing structural
BMPs. The program shall establish schedules of inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping
activities of stormwater control systems, as well as facility, equipment, facility areas, and facility
systems that present a potential for stormwater exposure or stormwater pollution. Inspection of
material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into
the program. Timely compliance with the established schedules for inspections, maintenance,
and housekeeping shall be recorded in writing and maintained in the SPPP.

5. Employee Training Training schedules shall be developed and training provided at a minimum
on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill response and cleanup,
preventative -maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's operations that have the potential
to contaminate stormwater runoff. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the
training shall be identified, and their annual training shall be documented by the signature of
each employee trained.
6. Responsible Panfv. The SP3 shall identify a specific position(s) responsible for the overall
coordination, development, implementation, and revision to the Plan. Responsibilities for all
components of the Plan shall be documented and position assignments provided.
7. Plan Amendment. Brenntag shall amend the SP3 whenever there is a change in design,
construction, operation, or maintenance which has a significant effect on the potential for the
discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of the SP3 shall be reviewed and updated
on an annual basis. The annual update shall include an updated list of significant spills or leaks
of pollutants for the previous three years, or the notation that no spills have occurred. The
annual update shall include re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for
the presence of non-stormwater discharges. Each annual update shall include a re-evaluation of
the effectiveness of the BMPs listed in the BMP.Summary of the Stormwater Management Plan.
The Division may notify Brenntag when the SP3 does not meet one or more of the minimum
requirements of the Order. Within 30 days of such notice, Brenntag shall submit a time schedule
to the Division of Water Quality for modifying the Plan to meet minimum requirements. Brenntag
shall provide certification in writing to the Raleigh Regional Office that the changes have been
made.
8. ,Facility Inspections Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur as part
of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a minimum on a semi-
annual schedule, once during the first half of the year (January to June) and once during the
second half (July to December), with at least 60-days separating inspection dates (unless
performed more frequently than semi-annually). These facility inspections are different from, and
in addition to; the stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring required in the SOC.
9. Implementation. Brenntag shall implement the SP3. Brenntag shall document all monitoring,
measurements, inspections, maintenance activities, and training provided to employees, including
the log of the sampling data and of actions taken to implement BMPs associated with the
industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance activities. Such documentation shall be kept
on -site for a period of five years and made available to the Director or the Director's authorized
representative immediately upon request. A copy of the SP3 must be maintained on -site at all
times and available for review by staff of the Division of Water Quality.
Complete and submit as follows: one copy must be mailed to the Raleigh Regional Supervisor, Division
of Water Quality/Surface Water Protection Section, 1628 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1628
and one copy must be mailed to the Stormwater Permitting Unit, Division of Water Quality, 1617 Mail
Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1617. This SP3 is due in each respective office no later than 180
days from the effective date of this SOC.

Stormwater Outfalis
The stormwater contained in the detention basins will be grab -sampled a minimum of the frequency and
duration listed below. Each sample will be collected during a representative storm event (provided a
stormwater discharge occurs). If discharges of water occur and are not coincident to and representative
of a storm event (e.g. groundwater is seeping into the stormwater collection system), sampling must
occur at the frequency described below. A representative storm event definition is provided.
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.

Response to February 2, 2009 letter from NCDENR-DWQ with Special Order by
Consent (SOC) Application
Brenntag Southeast
Discharge to Unnamed Tributary to Third Ford Creek
Durham County
Dear Mr. Smith:
ARCADIS is responding on behalf of Brenntag Southeast, Inc. (Brenntag) to the
February 2, 2009 letter from the North Carolina Department of Environment and
Natural Resources (NCDENR), Division of Water Quality (DWQ) recommending that
Brenntag pursue a Special Order by Consent (SOC) to address the Notice of
Violation (NOV-2008-CV-0008) dated June 23, 2008.
Brenntag has completed revisions to the SOC Application template to eliminate
references to wastewater treatment since the detention/containment basins are not
process wastewater treatment units. As described in the Engineers Alternatives
Analysis (EAA) dated November 5, 2008, the primary purpose of these four detention
basins is to provide 110 percent containment in the event of a spill from the
loading/unloading areas at the facility. These four detention basins, misidentified as
_ "treatment units" in the February 2, 2009 NCDENR-DWQ letter, collect stormwater
sheet flow from loading/unloading areas, uncovered outdoor storage areas, and
covered processing areas. The aeration and pH adjustment operations formerly
performed in the four detention basins to correct the effects of co -mingling of non-
stormwater (identified as impacted groundwater) and stormwater were permanently
discontinued in August of 2008 after measures were taken that mitigated the non-
stormwater inputs. These measures included slip lining of the stormwater
conveyance lines associated with the deep sheer gate system, increased frequency
of pump -and -haul activities associated with the deep sheer gate, and repairs to the
acid trench drain system. Further, Brenntag has elected to take the deep sheer gate

system out of service as a permanent solution. Additional proposed retrofits
associated with the facility's storm water system are included in the SOC Application.
In order to provide a better understanding of the complexity of the stormwater issues
associated with the Brenntag facility, a brief explanation of the primary sources of
non-stormwater (identified as impacted groundwater) that have created water quality
issues in the four detention basins is provided below.
(1) Deep Sheer Gate System. The deep sheer gate system has been identified
as the primary source of non-stormwater (impacted groundwater) which has
historically been discharging to the four detention basins. Impacted
groundwater has been infiltrating into the underground piping associated with
the deep sheer gate system from the subsurface in the area of the main
facility building. Based on a camera survey, the piping under the main facility
rt building was determined to be cracked and have offset joints which allowed
impacted groundwater from beneath the facility to enter the piping and
subsequently discharge into the deep sheer gate. The water that
accumulated in the deep sheer gate periodically overflowed into catch basins
connected to the detention basins thus causing impacted groundwater to co -
mingle with stormwater, resulting in pH excursions. The source of the
impacted groundwater is believed to be caused by exfiltration of stormwater
from the roof drains that discharge to the deep sheer gate subsurface
conveyance piping. For example, during rain events, the conveyance piping
associated with the deep sheer gate fills with stormwater which is then forced
out of the piping through cracks/offsets and into the pipe bedding and into
contact with impacted soils. After the rain event, the head pressure in the
pipe is reduced and impacted groundwater infiltrates back into the piping
subsequently discharging to the deep sheer gate.
Once it was determined that infiltration of impacted groundwater to the deep
sheer gate system was occurring, the piping associated with the deep sheer
gate system was slip lined in an attempt to eliminate the influx of impacted
groundwater. However, it was determined that the slip lining did not
completely eliminate the influx of impacted groundwater into the piping and
impacted groundwater continued to co -mingle with storm water in the deep
sheer gate. An alternate method was then employed to address this issue.
The contents of the deep sheer gate were pumped out on a more frequent
basis to prevent overfilling of the deep sheer gate, thus preventing the
subsequent overland flow of impacted stormwater to stormwater catch

-° basins connected to the four detention basins. The pump and haul activities
associated with the deep sheer gate have generally been effective at
stopping the deep sheer gate from providing impacted water to the four
detention basins. However, in the event that the deep sheer gate is
overfilled during a significant rain event, the comingled stormwater and
impacted groundwater continue to back up into the deep sheer gate piping
network and flow out of one of the catch basins associated with the deep
sheer gate system and into a catch basin associated with the four
containment basins. It has been determined that the best way to stop this
from occurring is to redirect the roof drain water so that it is no longer
entering the deep sheer gate system and then completely abandon the deep
sheer gate system.
(2) Acid Area Trench Drain System. The trench drain system in the acid area is
also considered a potential source for non-stormwater (impacted
groundwater) that may be entering catch basins connected to the four
detention basins. The trench drain system in the acid area is designed to
collect rinse water and convey it to the equalization basin where the process
water is subsequently treated (pH neutralization) and then pumped to a
20,000 gallon above -ground storage tank. The process water in the above-
ground storage tank is periodically pumped off and hauled offsite for
disposal.
-- Based on water quality monitoring data from catch basins located north of
the acid trench drain, it appears that some process water may have leaked
from the trench drains into the subsurface and subsequently migrated to the
catch basins. The acidic water which accumulated in the catch basins
located north of the acid containment area then discharged to the four
detention basins. Brenntag has implemented a practice of periodically
coating the trench drains to eliminate the leaking of process water. In
addition, the proposed extension of the canopy over the trench drains will
eliminate the surcharging of the trench drains that currently occurs during
rain events.
It is ARCADIS's professional judgment that the activities presented in the SOC
Application Attachment included with this letter should be sufficient to fully separate
the facility's stormwater from any facility process water or impacted groundwater.
Thus, the Brenntag facility's stormwater discharge would be eligible for an Individual

Stormwater Permit under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) program.
Further, Brenntag concurs that directly discharging its process water from the
equalization basin to the sanitary sewer system for treatment at the City of Durham
publicly owned treatment works (POTW) would be preferred to off -site pump and
haul disposal provided that:
■ Pretreatment limits do not require installation of a treatment system that is
more expensive to install and operate than the pump and haul program that
is currently being followed;
■ The pretreatment system, if any, does not require a full-time operator; and
• Sewer usage and POTW fees are not cost -prohibitive.
On behalf of Brenntag, ARCADIS requests concurrence with the proposed retrofits
and schedule included with the SOC Application.
Thank you for your consideration of this SOC Application. We have attempted to
provide the appropriate information given that the applicable circumstances are
different from those of the usual SOC Application. If you have any questions or
comments concerning this document, please contact us.
Sincerely,
ARCADIS G&M of North Carolina, Inc.

IV. Necessity Narrative
The circumstances at the Brenntag facility necessitating this SOC include the following:
A. Responding to a Notice of Violation (NOV-2008-CV-0008) dated June 23,
2008;
B. Improving stormwater management by voluntary evaluation of the stormwater
system to identify non-stormwater inputs;
C. Improving process water management; and
D. Facility management's desire to cooperate with the NCDENR and ensure
e compliance of site activities.
The circumstances noted above are described in greater detail below.
A. Responding to NOV-2008-CV-0008
The Notice of Violation (NOV) issued on June 23, 2008 identified potential permitting
issues for the Brenntag facility. Brenntag responded to the NOV by evaluating the
facility for non -storm water (defined as impacted groundwater) and process -related
impacts to stormwater conveyance and discharge.
Brenntag responded to the NCDENR in a letter dated August 29, 2008 which provided
for an intermediate step in addressing the permitting issues. The intermediate step
involved preparation of an Engineers Alternatives Analysis (EAA) to evaluate storm
water issues at the facility. The EAA was completed on November 5, 2008 and
submitted to the NCDENR. The EAA provided an evaluation of the following four
stormwater and process -related water management options:
1. Identifying and implementing stormwater best management practices (BMPs) for
the facility to eliminate impacted groundwater and/or process related inputs to
the stormwater system and application for an Individual Stormwater Permit.
2. Retrofitting the facility to remove specific stormwater inputs (e.g. roof drains,
y sheet flow from off -site sources, etc.) from discharging into the deep sheer gate
system and subsequently the detention basins, and a recommendation for
eventual abandonment of the deep sheer gate system.

3. Conveying process -related water from the equalization basin to the City of
Durham publicly owned treatment works (POTW) under an Industrial User
Wastewater Permit.
4. Continued use of the existing deep sheer gate system to contain stormwater
along with implementation of upgrades to the four stormwater detention basins to
facilitate removal of BOD and discharge of the treated stormwater to the
unnamed tributary of Third Fork Creek under an NPDES Industrial Wastewater
Permit,
The EAA provided reasons for not pursuing option four and a more detailed evaluation
of options one, two, and three was utilized to develop some of the proposed activities
presented in this SOC Application.
As described in the EAA and the cover letter associated with this SOC Application,
periodic surcharge of the deep sheer gate system (i.e. overfilling of the deep sheer
gate system due to rain events) caused some co -mingling of non-stormwater
(impacted groundwater that leaches into the piping associated with the deep sheer
gate) with stormwater, which ultimately reached the four detention basins. The
aeration and pH adjustment operations in the detention basins to correct the effects of
co -mingling of non-stormwater and stormwater were permanently discontinued in
August of 2008 after measures were taken that generally eliminated the introduction of
non -storm water into the four detention basins. These measures included slip lining of
the storm water conveyance lines associated with the deep sheer gate system,
increased frequency of pump and haul activities associated with the deep sheer gate
system, and repairs to the trench drain system in the acid containment area. Brenntag
has elected to take the deep sheer gate system out of service as a permanent solution.
B. Improving Sformwater Management
Brenntag aims to improve stormwater management at the facility by continuing
ongoing monitoring of stormwater discharged from the facility, separating conveyance
and discharge of non-stormwater and stormwater, planning and completing facility
retrofits, and applying for an Individual Stormwater Permit.
Since August 6, 2008, Brenntag has implemented daily sampling of the influent to the
stormwater detention basins for chemical oxygen demand (COD). A sample was also
collected weekly and submitted for laboratory analysis of biochemical oxygen demand

(BOD). In addition, conductivity and pH measurements were collected daily from each
of the basins. Results from these sampling efforts were provided in the EAA.
As a result of the facility evaluation and storm water sampling activities conducted in
2008, the deep sheer gate system was identified as contributing to stormwater impacts
at the facility. The stormwater evaluation indicated that impacted groundwater is
infiltrating the conveyance line to the deep sheer gate through cracks and offsetjoints
in the conveyance line. Further, the evaluations indicated that during rain events,
T stormwater from roof drains discharged to the deep sheer gate sub -surface
conveyance line, causing periodic hydraulic loading of the subsurface conveyance line
which resulted in exfiltration of stormwater into subsurface soils under the facility's
main building. In some areas beneath the main building the subsurface soils are
impacted and the exfiltrated stormwater that comes in contact with those soils also
becomes impacted. Following the rain event, the water leaches back into the
subsurface conveyance line exacerbating the groundwater impacts detected at the
deep sheer gate.
..
In addition, periodic surcharging of the Deep Sheer Gate conveyance line (overfilling of
the conveyance line during rain events) resulted in water overflowing from catch basin
SW-3 to the pavement. The overflow then discharges into stormwater collection catch
basin SWA which subsequently drains to the detention basins. Since this was
identified in August 2008, the facility has increased the frequency at which water is
pumped out of the deep sheer gate basin to prevent surcharging as an intermediate
measure. The BOD results collected from August 2008 through December 2008 have
generally been lower than 5 milligrams per liter (mg/L), without any "treatment" (it
should be noted that pH adjustment and aeration was permanently discontinued in
August 2008 after measures were taken that generally eliminated the introduction of
non -storm water into the four detention basins). Despite these improvements,
occasional increased BOD concentrations to levels slightly above 5 mg/L have been
detected in the detention basins, which influenced Brenntag's decision to take the deep
sheer gate system out of service (as discussed above). The proposed retrofits
associated with this modification are discussed in Section VI of the SOC Application.
Brenntag plans to utilize the formal structure provided by the Individual Stormwater
Permit to better manage facility stormwater through a Pollution Prevention Plan and
best management practices.

C. Improving Process Water Management
Brenntag aims to improve process water management at the facility by implementing
measures to further ensure that process water generated in the acid containment area
is conveyed to the equalization basin in a manner that doesn't allow the process water
to leach into the subsurface (i.e. routinely sealing the acid area trench drain system).
The trench drain system in the acid area was identified as a potential source for non -
storm water (impacted groundwater) that may be entering catch basins associated with
the storm water system and subsequently discharging to the four detention basins.
The trench drain system in the acid area is utilized to convey acidic process water from
the acid containment area to the equalization basin where the process water is
subsequently treated and then pumped to a 20,000 gallon above -ground storage tank.
The process water in the above -ground storage tank is periodically pumped off and
hauled offsite for disposal.
Based on water quality monitoring data from catch basins located north of the acid
trench drain, it appears that some process water may have leaked from the trench
drains into the subsurface and subsequently migrated to the catch basins. The acidic
water which accumulates in the catch basins located north of the acid containment
-- area then discharges to the four detention basins. Brenntag has implemented a
practice of periodically coating the trench drains to eliminate the leaking of process
water. In addition, the proposed extension of the canopy over the trench drains will
eliminate the surcharging of the trench drains that currently occurs during rain events.
0"
In addition, Brenntag will be evaluating the feasibility of discharging process water from
the equalization basin to the City of Durham POTW. Brenntag is moving forward with
collecting samples from the equalization basin to assist with characterizing the water
quality associated with the process water generated at the acid containment area.
This water quality data will be reviewed along with daily flow estimates for process
water as part of the feasibility evaluation for discharge to the City of Durham POTW.
D. Facility Management's Desire to Cooperate with Agency and Ensure
Compliance of Site Activities
It has been Brenntag's desire to ensure continued compliance with state and federal
regulations and to cooperate with the agencies administrating those regulations.
Brenntag has already completed some facility modifications since the NOV was issued
in June 2008. The stormwater evaluation that took place following the NOV identified

ARCADIS
- the impacted groundwater and process water related inputs to the stormwater
collection and conveyance system. The following sections list the identified
groundwater and process water related inputs along with a detailed explanation of the
facility improvements that Brenntag has implemented to date.
1. Groundwater Infiltration - It was determined that impacted groundwater was
infiltrating into the underground pipeline associated with the deep sheer gate
system. In order to prevent groundwater infiltration, Brenntag slip -lined the
conveyance line and associated catch basins designated SW-3 and SW-8. This
modification helped reduce groundwater infiltration, but it did not eliminate it.
2. Tank Containment Area - Pitting was observed on the galvanized steel
structures adjacent to the tank containment area in the southwest area of the
property (designated as "Phase III Ex Tanks" on Figure 2). The pitting indicated
that metal constituents such as zinc could be mobilized and potentially enter the
stormwater system. Once identified, Brenntag applied a chemical resistant
coating to the galvanized steel equipment exposed to stormwater as a corrective
measure.
3. Acid Containment Area -The trench drain collection system located in the acid
containment area (labeled AATD on Figure 2) is used to collect and convey
process water from the acid containment area to the equalization basin.
Improvements were implemented to the trench drain collection system through
- the application of a chemical resistant coating. This improvement was
implemented as a routine maintenance measure to prevent process water from
leaching out of the trench drain into the subsurface and then potentially leaching
-T into the stormwater conveyance line associated with catch basins designated
SW-4, SW-7 and SW-9. Storm water catch basins SW-4, SW-7, and SW-9
discharge to the four detention basins; therefore, improvements to the trench
drain system should facilitate improvement of the quality of water entering the
detention basins.
V. Certification
This section, as written in the original SOC application provided by NCDENR-DWQ, is
not applicable to this facility's circumstances for entering into an SOC. Brenntag does
not currently operate the detention basins as treatment units, nor will they in the future.
Therefore, this document does not include an evaluation of water treatment processes.

VI. Predicted Compliance Schedule
Brenntag proposes to implement the facility modifications presented in this SOC
Application within 10 months following the NCDENR's concurrence with the
Application. A proposed schedule for performing the tasks necessary to implement the
facility improvements is presented as Figure 1. For the purposes of a timeline, it was
assumed that obtaining the NCDENR's concurrence on the proposed facility
improvements may take up to 6 weeks. Therefore, the timeline shown in Figure 1
begins May 1, 2009. Included within this schedule are the following, facility retrofit
design and construction, preparation and submittal of an NPDES Individual Stormwater
Permit Application, and evaluation of directly connecting the facility's process effluent
T to the City of Durham POTW.
The following retrofits to the system are proposed to remove non-stormwater inputs
to the stormwater collection conveyance system as well as reduce the volume of
stormwater discharging to the detention basins.
A. Re -Route Roof Drains
Currently the majority of the main building roof drain system collects stormwater
in a conveyance pipe that is suspended from the ceiling inside the building. The
overhead conveyance pipe discharges to the underground deep sheer gate
conveyance line. Brenntag proposes to modify the indoor overhead conveyance
pipe to discharge to the stormwater conveyance line located east of the facility,
outside of the processing/storage areas. The line will be connected to this
stormwater conveyance line at MH #4 (see Figure 2).
B. Reconfigure Conveyance of Truck Loading Area Drainage
The catch basin located in the truck loading area will be disconnected from the
deep sheer gate conveyance system by abandoning the connection at the catch
basin designated as SW-8. A new subsurface conveyance line will be routed to
connect the catch basin to the existing stormwater conveyance line that
discharges to the stormwater detention basins (see Figure 3).
C. Eliminate Deep Sheer Gate System
The conveyance piping and catch basins associated with the deep sheer gate
will be abandoned in place downstream of the catch basin adjacent to the
southwest side of the main building (upstream of the catch basin designated
SW-3). Abandoned catch basins and the deep sheer gate will be filled with
aggregate and permanently grouted. A pumping system to be installed in the

existing vault (a component of the deep sheer gate conveyance line beneath the
main building) is proposed to facilitate the collection and removal of groundwater
that may accumulate in the underground conveyance line located beneath the
main building. The collected groundwater will be pumped into an above grade
conveyance line to the overhead caustic line (designated OHC) to be handled as
process water at the equalization basin (see Figure 3).
D. Extend Canopy at Acid Containment Area
The roof canopy will be extended over a section of the processing/handling area
associated with the acid containment area to reduce the potential for rain water
to enter the acid area trench drains (see Figure 2). Included in the schedule is
the required approval of a building permit from the City of Durham for this
construction activity, which alone may take up to a month.
Upon completion of the above listed facility retrofits, Brenntag will be in a position to
operate under a NPDES Individual Stormwater Permit. The Individual Stormwater
Permit will include selection of facility best management practices (BMPs), as well as a
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. Preparation of the application will be concurrent
with design and construction of facility retrofit activities with the goal of submitting the
permit before the end of the 10 month timeline.
The process water monitoring programs in place will be reviewed and updated as
necessary to include, at minimum, pH, BOD, metals, and organics and sufficient
monitoring frequency.
The documentation procedures for the pump and haul activities will be reviewed and
updated as necessary to include, at minimum, storage control status, storage volume
records, pump and hauling records, and destination.
Brenntag would like to conduct a feasibility evaluation for pretreating facility process
water that is contained in the equalization basin and directly routing the process water
to the City of Durham POTW in lieu of the present pump and haul activities. It is
proposed that this evaluation will take approximately 3 months. The evaluation would
include a conclusion regarding the feasibility of this option, as well as an approximate
timeline and estimated costs for design and construction.

Subject: Review of Engineers Alternatives Analysis
Brenntag Southeast, Inc.
Discharge to Unnamed Tributary to Third Ford Creek
Durham County
Dear Mr. Biehl,
Dee Freeman
Secretary
This letter concerns issues discussed with you and your representatives in our meeting on January 30, 2009
concerning the Engineers Alternatives Analysis submitted by ARCADIS on the behalf of Brenntag Southeast,
Inc dated November 5, 2008. The submittal was submitted in response to the Notice of Violation from this
office dated June 23, 2008 and a subsequent meeting with your representatives on August 19, 2008.
As we discussed in the meeting, there are still concerns/constraints with: 1) co -mingling of process water and
stormwater, 2) volume(s) of stormwater that is conveyed to the treatment units, 3) sample data from the facility
indicates that the discharge would not consistently meet the requirements of a stormwater permit without
treatment, and 4) there are regulatory constraints with respect to using stormwater permitting mechanism to
address wastewater and process control/wastewater treatment units (e.g. pH adjustment and aeration).
It is the Raleigh Regional Office position that the facility has an existing illegal (unpermitted) treatment unit,
and wastewater discharge. This facility, a bulk chemical re -distribution facility, is required to have an
Individual Stormwater permit. Currently, the aeration basins are installed in series and do not appear to be
properly engineered for the flow volumes that these units episodically receive.
You indicated in the meeting, your intention to separate out the process water and other contaminated water
from the stormwater and possibly pursue connection to the City of Durham of the process wastewater that is
currently being pumped and hauled. Accordingly, it is the RRO recommendation that you seek out a Special
Order by Consent (SOC) to allow the facility to pursue compliance with requirements for permitting activities
on site while an enforceable compliance schedule is in place. This tool (SOC) will allow Brenntag to develop
and implement an organized approach to affecting full compliance.

Hi Nikki,
I talked with Bruce Biehl (sp?) yesterday from the Brenntag, Southeast, Inc. Durham facility and he stated that the
State was requiring them to get a stormwater permit for their Durham facility even though the SIC code did not
require it. He stated that they had originally applied — 7 years ago but that application was lost. He stated they had
reapplied — 3years ago but had not hear anything so maybe we could address all Brenntag Southeast, Inc. facilities at
once and get them all reviewed and permitted together.
As far as the second NOV/NRE is concerned they have identified the source of the discharge and it was legacy to
when they bought the facility. Apparently a containment area in the railroad offloading section of the site was piped
to the creek. He stated that next week he and the facility manager would be walking the site to identify any other
pipes and their origin.

Here is the last think on the Brenntag Durham facility that I have. As I noted, the group determined that
the system should be permitted as a wastewater treatment works and no stormwater permit would be
required. I'm not sure how much of this Shannon transmitted in his letter. Judy Garrett may have some
info as it appears she was in the meetings.

Teresa,
Gil wanted me to pass on the results of our meeting this afternoon with
RRO about Brenntag.
ATTENDING: Ken Schuster, Shannon Langley, Judy Garret, Jenny Atkins, Gil
Vinzani, and Ken Pickle
The group reached the following conclusions.
a) The four treatment vaults constitute a treatment works, and Brenntag
must apply for an NPDES wastewater permit for the operation of a
treatment works. Or, Brenntag must cease the discharge. Or Brenntag
can capture and haul away the discharge. Or Brenntag can provide a roof
for larger portions of the site, and potentially connect to the City of
Durham's wastewater collection system.
b) Shannon Langley will make minor modifications to a draft letter to
Brenntag, and send it out right away. The letter will inform Brenntag
that they must either cease the discharge, or apply for a permit for the
discharge from the four treatment vaults. RRO expects the facility to
object to the requirement for a permit, and that the ceasing of the
discharge is not a viable option for this business.
c) It appears that the facility currently has an NPDES discharge permit
for a groundwater remediation system, and it appears that that permit is
currently under review for renewal.
d) After discussion both ways, RRO felt that there might be some
advantage to permitting the discharge from the four treatment vaults on
the same permit as the already existing groundwater remediation permit.
1 of2 2/18/2008 7:31 AM
[Fwd: Brenntag meeting with RRO]
My sense is that this decision is subject to change, if RRO or if NPDES
E unit encounters any good reason to keep the two discharges on two
different permits.
e) The Stormwater Permitting Unit will not try further to resurrect
Brenntag's 1996 application for a stormwater permit (we seem to have
lost the paperwork, and cannot find anything about it), nor will we seek
a new submittal for a stormwater permit from Brenntag. The group
consensus was that the operation of a treatment works argues for an
NPDES wastewater permit, not a stormwater permit. The group believes
that the Director's 1994 determination that Brenntag must seek a
stormwater permit may have been reached before the four treatment vaults
were installed.

Tom and Mike,
Dave and Vanessa indicated this email would be best directed to you. I am sending this as an
informational item but also looking for some feedback from our HQ permitting staff and
recommendations on how to proceed.
Brentagg Inc (formerly SouthChem) is a chemical distributor located in Durham. The facility receives
and repackages for distribution large volumes of chemicals. Our office has received a significant
number of complaints about impacts from the facility to a UT to third fork creek (which is impaired).
The facility has a GW remediation permit but also has a series of "vaults" where they collect all the
rainwater runoff from their property. These "vaults" are aerated. Further, company staff check and
adjust pH of the water collected in these valuts prior to releasing it to the UT. Company staff have
indicated they have to add sulfuric acid to the water to adjust pH b/c it usually has a pH of 10 or 11.
Sometimes though staff have to adjust the pH upwards b/c it is below 6.0.
Durham Stormwater services, a service of Durham public works, have done some more extensive
sampling out there. I have attached a spreadsheet they sent to us with some of the results they got from
sampling the vaults. Downstream samples of pH have shown values anywhere from 4-11 below the
plant (there is no upstream as this plant sits right at the fall line between the Neuse and Cape Fear
basins).
We have taken ph readings below the facility and gotten reading of 9.2 pH instream.
A file review reveals that in 1994, then Section chief Steve Tedder, sent a letter to the facility stating
they must obtain an NPDES SW permit. An aplication was submitted and received a permit number
(NCS000345). This permit still shows up as "In draft" on BIMS and no permit has been issued.
In 1998, a memo from the Raleigh regional office was sent to Coleen stating since the facility was
capturing, aerating and performing pH adjustment on this water, that this process constituted the
"operation of a treatment works". No further information is available in our files. It seems as if a
discussion as to whether the facility should receive a SW or WW permit may have resulted in the facility

imap://ken.pickle%40dwq.denr.ncmail.net @cros.ncmail. net:143/fetc...
receiving no permit at all to this point.
The creek below this facility is being impacted. Basic pH conditions, acidic ph conditions, chemical
smells in the creek are documented on a routine basis. Smells have been so bad at times Durham police
have been called in to look for dead bodies. Our office recommends the facility be required to apply
for and obtain an individual NPDES permit because of the nature of "treatment' of this water. Before
proceeding we would like to get any comments or suggestions from HQ on this matter. The RRO plans
to send the facility a letter detailing our findings and requiring that the facility submit an application for
an NPDES permit to your office. If you would like to do a site visit I would be happy to arrange.
Thanks.

Designation Letter
SouthChem Incorporated

P.O. Box 1491
Durham, N.C. 27702
On November 8, 1994 Messrs. Ted Cashion and Steve Mitchell visited
the subject facility. Although the Standard Industrial
Classification does not apply for stormwater permitting (there is
no actual manufacturing that takes place) this facility repackages
chemicals for resale. SouthChem is a regional distributor of
industrial chemicals. This facility manages high volumes of
chemicals which include caustic soda, soda ash, sodium sulfate,
muriatic acid, acetone, trichloroethane, xylene, methyl ethyl
ketone, and toluene. This repackaging transpires from railroad car
or tanker, to forty pound sack or five gallon carboy, etc.
The stormwater generated at this site is collected in two separate
aeration basins, mixed and neutralized as necessary, and
discharged. There is proper containment around the bulk holding
tanks and I am sure that all of the safety procedures are followed.
But accidents and spills do occur when transferring from train cars
to distribution areas to fifty-five gallon drums and so forth.
This facility recently released 200 gallons of water (August 22,
1994) from the containment basin with a pH of 10.2 and at that time
the treatment works were determined to be a treatment works. In
response, the company indicated that they would remove the aeration
and mixing and thereby create a stormwater containment basin and
not be in violation of General Statutes for operation of a
treatment works without a permit.
If this is not sufficient information for designation, please
inform me.

Re: NPDES Permit Application for Southchem, Inc.,
Dear Mr. Cashion:
pany
1995
This letter is to confirm our telephone conversation on May 16, 1995, regarding the NPDES
permit application submittal for the Southchem, Inc. facility located at 2000 E. Pettigrew Street,
Durham, North Carolina.
On March 3, 1995, prior to the deadline for submitting the NPDES permit application, we
talked with Mr. Steve Ulmer, Division of Environmental Management, regarding the potential delay in
submitting the NPDES permit application for the above -referenced facility due to sampling problems
associated with the weather. Most of the significant storm events occurred at night or within 72 hours
of the previous storm event. As a result we were not able to collect the storm water samples from the
facility outfalls. Mr. Ulmer indicated that the 90-day deadline was informal and a formal extension was
not required. He also indicated that he would update you on the status of the Southchem permit
application based on our conversation.
As I informed you on May 16, 1995, we are currently waiting for a significant storm event for
sampling. Upon collection/analysis of the storm water samples, a NPDES permit application will be
submitted as soon as practicable to the Division of Environmental Management
Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions please contact myself or Najun
Shetty at (919) 571-1662.

Dear Mr. Biehl:
Based upon an evaluation made by Mr. Steve Mitchell and Mr. Ted Cashion of the Raleigh Regional Office
concerning the stormwater discharge from SouthChem our Water Quality Section has determined that
this facility is a contributor of pollutants to the waters of the B.E. Jordan Watershed. I have determined that
this discharge of stormwater must be covered by an NPDES Permit to be issued by this Division.
Therefore, in accordance with the provisions of Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part
122,26(a)(1)(v), I am hereby designating this stormwater discharge as subject to permitting under the
NPDES program.
A NPDES permit application shall be submitted within 90 days of the receipt of this letter. The attached
application forms (Form 1 and Form 2F) must be completed and properly signed and the permit application
filing fee ($400.00) must accompany the application forms. Please note that these applications require
the sampling and analyses of a stormwater sample from a representative storm event and the submission
of the data in the Form 2F.
If you should have any questions or require additional information, please contact Mr. Mitchell of our
Raleigh Regional Office at 919-571-4700.
