8.1 Describe the nature of your business.
Pesticide formulation,agriculture,and research facility.Chemicals are transported to the facility via the Bellamy Mill
Road entrance.These materials are brought into covered facilities for formulating and packaging then shipped via
truck back through the Bellamy Mill Road entrance.Two main product types are produced at the facility,copper
•cn based algaecides and herbicides and fluridone based herbicides.The copper based herbicides and algaecides are
co produced by transporting sealed containers of raw copper material which is opened indoors and conveyed into a
reactor to be mixed with amine based chelators and water.After the material is reacted the mixture is directly
pumped to an adjacent room for packaging.A similar process is used to make fluridone based herbicides,with
z fluridone transported to an indoor facility,then opened and poured into a diked mixing tank,ground in a liquid state,
then mixed with surfactants and thickeners.This mixed fluridone material is pumped into an adjacent room for
packaging.The sealed containers are transported off site to wareshouses for sale.

o Y NPDES permitting authority to determine what specific information needs to be submitted and when.)
cj c
c There is a closed loop system that recirculates water to cool reactors used to produce copper based algaecides and
herbicides.When maintenance to the recirculation system occurs,water is sent to a vendor for disposal.On site
potable water is used to refill the reservoir.
