A. (3) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant
mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 3.7%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, auarterlu monitoring using test procedures outlined
in the "North Carolina Ceriodaphrua Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998,
or subsequent versions or "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure"
(Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months of
March, June, September and December. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at
the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV below
the permit limit, then multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in each of the
two following months as described in "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test
Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions.
The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of
the highest concentration having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest
concentration that does have a detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of
"detectable impairment," collection methods, exposure regimes, and further statistical methods are
specified in the "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -
February 1998) or subsequent versions.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the
parameter code TGP3B for the pass/fail results and THP313 for the Chronic Value. Additionally,
DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Quality
Environmental Sciences Section
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no
later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made.
Test data shall be complete, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and
all concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved
designate signature. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and
reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity
monitoring is required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the
aquatic toxicity (AT) test form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number,
county, and the month/year of the report with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area
of the form. The report shall be submitted to the Environmental Sciences Section at the
address cited above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required,
monitoring will be required during the following month.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North
Carolina Division of Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this
permit may be re -opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum
control organism survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environmental
controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed
no later than the last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring.

Permit NC0000752
A. (4) BIOCIDE CONDITION
The permitted shall not use any biocides except those approved in conjunction with the permit
application. The permitted shall notify the Director in writing at least ninety (90) days prior to
instituting use of any additional biocide in the treatment system, which may be toxic to aquatic life
(other than biocides previously reported to the Division). Such notification shall include completion of
Biocide Worksheet Form 101 and a map indicating the discharge point and receiving stream.
A. (5) pH REOPENER
The Division may re -open this permit to remove pH limitation footnotes at Outfall 002, should new
information indicate water quality problems due to declining pH in this portion of the river.

Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. These samples shall be representative of
the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended, 33 USC 1251, et.
seq.
Annual Average
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal
coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Arithmetic Mean
The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
Bypass
The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is
not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility.
Calendar Day

Calendar Ouarter
One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December.
Composite Sample
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 ml, in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The
Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval
between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite
samples may be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant timelvariable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period
of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample
collection, or
(3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with
the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow
measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the
preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at
the treatment system, or

Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Kapstone — Kraft Paper Corporation - Roanoke Rapids Paper Mill
Permit No. NC0000752
Northampton County
Dear Mr. Kessinger:
W=
On November 16, 2016, Cheng Zhang of the Raleigh Regional Office (RRO) conducted a compliance
evaluation inspection of the subject facility. The assistance provided by Mr. Neal Davis, the operator in
responsible charge (ORC), Mr. Chris Williams, the backup ORC, and Mr. Paul Kinnin, was appreciated
as it facilitated the inspection process. The inspection report is attached. The following observations
were made:
Kapstone — Kraft Paper Corporation - Roanoke Rapid Paper Mill W WTP is permitted to discharge at
a rate of 28.0 MGD and consist of: mechanical bar screen, primary clarifier, emergency holding
pond, sludge lagoon, aeration pond, and three stabilization ponds. The plant discharges to Roanoke
River, a Class C water in the Roanoke River basin.
1. Current permit expires on March 31, 2017. The facility submitted permit renewal application On
September 23, 2016, which is in review by the Division of Water Resources.
2. All three influent pumps were in operation. The primary clarifier was in good condition. The
pipe connecting the primary clarifier and aeration pond was replaced in April 2016.
Sludge from the primary clarifier was dewatered at the sludge handling facility, two trains of belt
presses, screw presses, and chemical feed system were available. One train was in use at the time
of inspection, the other was off line for repair and maintenance. Dewatered sludge was disposed
at the onsite land fill. Leachate from the land fill and the old sludge pond flows by gravity into
the aeration pond and is treated along with the effluent from the primary clarifier.
4. Effluent from the clarifier was further treated at the aeration pond. 29 of 31 aerators were in use
at the time of inspection (two aerators were taken off line for repair).

5. Effluent from the aeration pond was further treated in the three stabilization ponds before being
discharged to the river.
6. The ORC maintains a daily logbook. Lab results, chain -of -custody forms, and Discharge
Monitoring Reports (DMRs) were complete and current, kept in good order and ready for
review. January and July 2016 DMR data were compared to lab bench sheets; no data
transcription errors were noted during the inspection.
7. The right of way to the Outfall 001 was well maintained. The effluent was observed to be clear
and free of solids. No visible impacts were noted immediately downstream the effluent pipe.
Outfall 002 was also maintained and accessible.
8. Field lab parameter (Certificate No. 183) calibration and analysis records were reviewed during
the inspection.
9. It was noted that the facility started to submit DMR electronically in August 2016.
The overall condition of the facility is compliant with Division standards. If you have any questions
regarding the attached reports or any of the findings, please contact Cheng Zhang at: [phone] (or

Subject: RE: KapStone Non -Contact Cooling Water Up and Stream Report for EDMR
Hi Mr. Davis,
I'm going to try this again, I made a few errors in my last email.
I've looked at your permit more closely.
Your permit requires that pH is monitored upstream and downstream from the non -contact cooling water discharge (002)
twice a year. Your permit does not require you do upstream and downstream sampling for pH for the discharge 001, it
only requires that pH is analyzed at the effluent at discharge 001.
However, it sounds like you regularly analyze and report upstream and downstream pH, so those values can be used for
discharge 001 and 002 in the eDMR.
I think you only need to report the upstream and downstream pH values for discharge 002 on the day you do the other
semi-annual testing for that outfall.
Hopefully this answers your questions. Please let me know if you have any questions.
-Jason

Subject: KapStone Non -Contact Cooling Water Up and Stream Report for EDMR
Mr. Jason Robinson
We at KapStone Kraft Paper in Roanoke Rapids NC. Permit number NC0000752 have just started reporting our monthly
report electronically in August. We were about to submit our September Report when we noticed in the Verification that

it required a separate report for the Up a )wn stream samples for our non-contac ing water discharge (
002). Since we have to report the Up and Down stream analysis for our process water and stormwater discharge
(001). Would it be allowable to use the data from those and not include a second Up and Down stream report?
We are required to sample and report the non -contact cooling water discharge Semi Annually. We have chosen for those
times to be Marchand September. We will be using the same values for our Up and Downstream samples for our non -
contact cooling water and the process water permit and have not including an Up and Down stream form with the non -
contact cooling water in the past. This is the reason for the question.
Also do we need to include all the Up and Down stream sample analysis for the entire month or just the day we sampled
the non -cooling water discharge? We appreciate any assistance in the matter.
Thanks for working with me.

I wanted to make you aware that KapStone Kraft Paper Corporation, Wastewater permit NC0000752, will be
replacing its Clarifier Effluent pipe that carries the wastewater from the Primary Clarifier to the Aeration
Pond. This will be taking place April 22 — April 27, 2016. Flow from the mill will be reduced while the mill is
down for improvements. While the Clarifier Effluent line is being replaced, wastewater flow will be sent to the
Emergency holding pond. After the piping is replaced the Emergency holding pond will be pumped back to the
head of the Wastewater treatment facility as per our normal operating procedures.
If there are any questions or concerns please let me know.

Ms. Romanski:
Neil Davis with Kapstone gave me your nam as the historical contact person for the site's wastewater permit. I
had a question to pass by you for your input
There is an existing stormwater 'catch anpump' pond in the back of the site around the chipping area that
presently captures the stormwater in thiX part of the site and pumps it across the railroad spur to the large
holding pond. It is my understanding t the pond water is then pumped to the clarifier at the headworks of the
wastewater treatment process.
Due to new equipment proposed to/be installed in this area, we will need to relocate this pond somewhat. There
will be a slightly larger area drai ' g to it, but I would estimate no more than 10 - 15% increase to the small
pond's capacity. We will be utili g the same 4" force main that currently discharges to the large pond for the
relocated pond.
Neal has stated that they are ugder the permit limits (on average per month) and does not foresee any affect to
the wastewater permit, but we/are asking you for your concurrence.
Please reply with your input, and if you need additional information, please feel free to let me know that also.

RE: NC 40752 - Kapstone Paper
Roanoke Rapids, NC (MGA# P150075)
I have reviewed the Kapstone wastewater permit and confirmed that woodyard stormwater pond discharge is
documented and covered in A.(1) Outfall 001(wastewater and stormwater).
The woodyard stormwater discharges into the Emergency Pond (that is sized for 2.2 MGD).
The only limitation under the current permit is that the Emergency Pond flow is reported to hold 2.2 MGD and the total
flow limit to Outfall 001 is limited to 28 MGD.
As understood from phone conversation, the characteristics of the stormwater is unchanged, but there is the possibility
of a small increase in stormwater volume with the relocation of the woodyard pond. As long as the location change,
does not limit the facilities ability to meet A.(1) of the permit and the facility has adequate capacity in the 2.2 MGD
emergency pond, there is no need for a permit modification or other permit change paperwork at this time. However,
upon permit renewal please include a new drawing that depicts the capacity and new location of the woodyard pond.
If you need anything further please feel free to contact me. I have also copied Permitting Unit on this RRO response .

Subject: FW: Kapstone Kraft Paper Sludge Press Operator
Mr. Knudson and Mr. Davis,
The RRO received the Sludge Press Operation letter dated July 10, 2015. We apologize for the delay of the review of this
request.
Steve Reid was forwarded a copy of the letter today and the e-mail chain follows below for your record.
Both the RRO and DWR understand the term "sludge press operator in the original waiver letter dated November 5,
1993 is being phased out of the organization" due to automation of the sludge press operation. However, your July 10,
2015 request letter explains that a "Senior Operator located at the Lime Kiln Control Room" will continue to meet the
conditions set forth in the waiver and intent of the "sludge press operator language" in the waiver). Therefore, we
approve your request and will add the July 10, 2015 letter and email to the RRO Files for our record.
If you need anything further, please feel free to contact Danny, Steve, or myself.
Sincerely,
Autumn Romanski

I have no problem with the request. It is not really an issue of'ORC visitation', so there is not much I could comment on.
As long as the ORC visits the site as required, we are OK with whatever staffing they maintain.
If I missed anything, please let me know and I will regroup.

Hi Steve,
I received a call from Mr. Neal Davis about a slight change request for(Cert Operator 24/7) waiver that has been in place
since 1993.
The request relates to the conditions changing at the site- Specifically the sludge press will be automated and the
operator will move to the Kiln Operation. Since the "wording in the waiver conditions are specific to the sludge press
operator" - the facility requests something in writing to reflect a decision on the request and any new waiver wording
needed to ensure compliance with waiver conditions.
The RRO has no objections to the change - the facility will still have a certified operator on -site, just not the specific
sludge press operator as referred in the original waiver.
Please feel free to contact Danny, myself, Mr. Davis if you need anything further to consider this request.

Subject: Sludge Press Operation: KapStone Paper, Roanoke Raids, NC
Dear Mr. Smith:
KapStone Paper at Roanoke Rapids, NC operates a waste treatment facility permitted under DENR
permit number NC0000752. The sludge plant/waste treatment operator is currently located at the
sludge press building with operation controlled and monitored with a Distributive Control System
(DCS). Based on automation advances and DCS control capabilities, the sludge press operator, a
lime kiln operator position and a caustic area operator position will be combined into a senior
operator located at the lime kiln. The field duties and testing in these areas will be divided among
two helpers reporting to the senior operator. The lime kiln control room has complete sludge plant
DCS control capabilities. The effectiveness of monitoring and control of waste treatment
operations will continue at their current high levels.
Addressing Operator Certification:
In 1993, DWQ granted a variance from 24-hr. staffing coverage at the waste treatment/sludge plant
by State certified operators. The operator modification described above will not affect conditions
under which the variance was granted. Annual training and examination conditioned by said
variance will continue to be required for all operating personnel and supervision having contact
with the sludge press. KapStone Environmental Department personnel and the site Operator in
Responsible Charge (ORC) conduct this training and provide direction and oversight of the waste
treatment operation. We are also making improvements in the waste water certification credentials
within the Environmental Department resulting in more individuals with higher certifications.
As further background, the following discussion of the current operation the personnel
organizational structure line -of -progression as well as the proposed change is provided:
This facility has been in operation since 1906 undergoing several changes in operation and waste
treatment advances. In 1987, a sludge press was installed, handling primary sludge and transporting

it to an onsite landfill (Permit No. WQ0000436). The Sludge Press operator has as his primary
responsibilities: the control of solids removal, i.e. clarifier and sludge press operation. Operator
duties can extend to the control of nutrient addition and aerator operation at the direction of the
ORC and Environmental Department. The sludge press operator also monitors sewer alarms, main
sewer bypassing events to the surge pond, and facilitates maintenance activities for the press and
clarifier area. There is a DCS at the sludge press operators' station from which he/she can operate
equipment and monitor systems. The sludge press operator reports to the Pulp and Utilities Shift
Manager who in turn reports to the Business Unit Manager of Pulp and Utilities.
Under the current organization, the first position that advances to the sludge press operator is called
a Swing Helper and once qualified, can set-up to the sludge press operator. The line of progression
for the sludge press operator is the kiln operator and then the caustic area operator (recaust). All
the information, alarms, and control capabilities on the sludge press operator DCS station are
combined as part of the kiln/recaust operating DCS. This provides opportunity for the sludge press
operator to temporarily cover duties at the kiln control room and operate the press remotely. When
the press operator is away from the operating station for extend periods, the kiln/recaust operators
are notified to monitor the process.
A change to the area's organizational structure will take place within the next few months as
follows: A senior position, the sludge press/kiln/recaust operator, will manage those operations
from the lime kiln control room. There will be a first helper that will be running tests, making
rounds and providing overview of the systems. In addition, the swing helper's duties will be
expanded to also include sludge press rounds. To repeat, the DCS at the lime kiln control room has
all the capabilities as does the sludge press DCS. The sludge press is already highly instrumented
and automated. However, a few technological improvements will be made including, but not
limited to: additional cameras and additional level transmitters.
Physically, the lime kiln operator room is at the head of the main sewer flowing to the clarifier and
about 720 feet from the current sludge press operator room. Continuous awareness of the press
operation is assured with this re -organization. The sludge press/kiln/recaust operator will be at the
operating station 24-7. The first helper and swing helper will be making multiple rounds at the
press to conduct testing and to insure reliability of operation and the equipment.
KapStone Paper is very much attuned to its Environmental obligations and emphasizes such
continuously. We believe our compliance record bears that out. KapStone Paper is confident that
this change will not in any way jeopardize compliance with our various permit requirements.

Dear Mr. Puryear,
This letter is in response to your letter of September 28, 1993, concerning your request
for a waiver of the new regulation that requires 24 hour staffing coverage at your WWTP
by certified operators. Your request has been reviewed by the staff of the Water Quality
Section's Operations Branch. Your request for a variance of the regulation requiring
24-hour staffing coverage by certified operators is hereby granted with the following
conditions:
1) The sludge press operators must complete the wastewater training program and
successfully pass the written wastewater examination offered by Champion International
within 90 days of employment. Documentation of the training and examinations for each
employee shall be kept on file and will be subject to review by DEM staff.
2) This variance shall be in effect until May 31, 1997 and will be reviewed with the renewal
of the NPDES permit for this facility. A request for renewal of this variance should be
submitted with the permit renewal request.
3) The variance may be rescinded at the discretion of the Director in the event that the
compliance status changes, the training program is discontinued, the training program does
not prove to provide adequate training of the operators or if there are major changes in the
treatment process.
The Division appreciates the efforts that Champion International has made to provide the
operator training necessary to insure the proper operation of the wastewater treatment
facilities and look forward to your continued cooperation. If you have any questions or
need any further assistance in this matter, please contact Tim Donnelly of the Raleigh
Regional Office at [phone] or Dwight Lancaster, Training and Certification at

Operator Training
During a meeting held with the Director of the DEM we were able
Co convince the state that it was not necessary to have
certified operators on duty 24 hours per day. The state will
require us to develop a training program specific to our
treatment system. The deadline for the development of the
program is October 1. 1993. The following is an outline of the
items that I recommend to be covered in the training program:
1. An introduction to wastewater treatment
2. An overview of the mill's wastewater treatment system
7. Operation of the mill's wastewater treatment system
3. Instruction on wastewater analysis applicable to our system
4. Problems associated with treatment plant operation;
.t. Torque problems
h. Equipment failure
C. ContaCtS in the event of an emergency
S. Overview of wastewater treatment regulations
I also recommend that you contact John Lewyta 13--5-'J131 at
West Vyack for assistance in developing the program. John has
helped other Champion mills with treatment plant operator
training programs. Cindy Finnin at the treatment plant
operators certification commission would also be willing to
assist us. If you have any questions please give me a call.

On February 2, 2015Autumn Romanski and Jason Robinson of the Raleigh Regional Office
(RRO) conducted a compliance evaluation inspection of the subject facility. The assistance
provided by Mr. Neal Davis, Mr. Paul Kinnin, and Mr. Mike Knudson was greatly appreciated.
The inspection report checklist is attached.
The following summary of observations is provided:
Kapstone Kraft Paper Corporation Roanoke Rapids Mill WWTP (Classification WW-4) is
permitted to discharge 28.0 MGD. The WWTP consists of open wastewater collection trough,
mechanical bar screen, primary clarifier, aeration basin, 3 stabilization ponds, an
emergency/surge pond, a sludge storage pond, 1 blend tank, chemical treatment storage and feed
equipment, 2 rotary screen thickners, and 2 screw presses. The facility discharges the treated
effluent to the Roanoke River, a Class C water in the Roanoke River Basin and the solids are
taken to the permitted on -site landfill (Permit Number WQ0000436).
1) The open effluent collection channel, wet well, pumps, parshall flume, and flowmeter,
were observed and had recently been upgraded/rehabilitated and along with the primary
clarifier were in good operational condition.
2) The facility has a routine aerator and solids removal maintenance schedule for the
aeration basin and stabilization ponds. The ponds and dikes are clay lined and have the
capacity of approximately 480 million gallons at a normal operating level of 4 feet.
3) The Primary ORC is Neal Davis WW-4 certified Operator (6740). The BORC position is
currently being filled by Paul Kinnin, Lab Technician who holds a temporary W W-3
certified Operator (1000500). Mr. Kinnin is in the process of completing WW-3 training.

Summary of Findings /Comments
1. Permit:
Your NPDES Individual Wastewater permit became effective June 1, 2012 and expires on
March 31, 2017. The facility is not currently under a Special Order by Consent.
The facility was compliant with the wastewater requirements of the NPDES permit the day of
the inspection.
The current permit issued in June 2012 noted that limits for BOD. TSS Pentachlorophenol,
trichlorophenol were increased to reflect the most recent production data (Outfall 001). It
was also noted that Outfall 003 was eliminated. The plant should be commended for
converting heated cooling water from outfall 003 to re -use water and thereby eliminating this
discharge outfall.
2. Compliance Schedules:
The permit does not have any outstanding compliance schedules for this facility.
3. Facility Site Review:
The overall condition of the plant site was satisfactory. The appearance of the facility was in
acceptable condition indicating the current housekeeping practices are good.
4. Records/Reyorts•
a) A review of the daily monitoring data submitted during the previous 12-month period
and a review of the permit conditions indicates the facility was in compliance with the
permit requirements and/or limitations.
The facility was issued no penalty assessments and no notices of violation for the 12-
month period.
The wastewater DMR reports data was reviewed for September 2013 and no
discrepancies were found However. amended DMRs for March 2012 and December
2011 were faxed to DWR on 1012512012. The Bims record system was updated to
reflect compliance and the NOD's frequency violations associated with these DMR's
were deleted as they were processed in error after the amended reports had been
submitted
b) The facility must designate a certified Operator -in -Responsible -Charge (ORC) having
a certification level equal to or greater than the facility classification. A Back-up ORC
must also be designated with a minimum certification level at least one level less than
the facility classification.
2 1 P a g e

The facility is currently in compliance with these requirements. This facility is
classified as a Biological (WW M and the Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) is
Chris Puryear. He holds a WW-IV (Cert. No.8275). Neal Davis is the (BORC). He
holds WW-IV(Cert. No. 6740).
The facility is current! in n compliance with these requirements.
5. Self-Monitorine Program:
You are reminded that your monitoring samples must be collected, preserved, and analyzed by
appropriate procedures and methods. You should maintain records of the sampler temperature,
and a certified laboratory must calibrate the sample thermometers annually.
Your operator is reminded that he/she must keep a logbook of all operation/maintenance
activities undertaken at the facility. The logbook should include all daily process control
activities including any field measurements conducted for process control. A visitation log for
the facility must also be maintained.
The facility is currently in compliance with these requirements.
6. Laboratory:
For all analytical data submitted for compliance monitoring purposes, a certified laboratory
must be utilized for all laboratory analysis. Additionally, if field parameter testing is
conducted, an operator certified to perform the specified field parameter analysis is also
required. The operator needs to be sure to calibrate all meters/instrumentation before each use
and retain all calibration records.
Monitoring for Temp. pH. Do. BOD. TSS. and Conductivity is conducted by the ORC at
required sample locations but other sampling requirements (metals/toxicity..) have been
contracted out to NC Certified Lab # 165 (Meritech Labs).
The facility holds a current NC DWO Laboratory Field Parameter Certification # 183
The Regional Field Inspectors checklist (to be forwarded to the DWO Laboratory
Certification Program) was completed the day of the inspection and reflects the extent of
laboratory items investigated by Regional inspectors Lab inspections are also performed
separately by the Lab Certification Program. The Regional lab checklist results are
attached.
7. Flow Measurement:
If the permit requires a flow measurement device for determining the effluent flow, the
flow measurement device must be calibrated annually.
This facility is required to monitor and report effluent flow at outfall 001 and the facility is
thru flow is estimated and reported semi-annually as required.
3 1 P a g e

8. Effluent/Receivine Waters:
The effluent discharge should be clear with a continuous flow with no visible changes to
the receiving waters.
The effluent discharge was clear and flow was continuous. The receiving waters looked
clear with no visible changes from the effluent discharze.
9. Pretreatment:
This facility currently has no pretreatment permit and does not accept or discharge
domestic or industrial waste to a sanitary sewer system. Pre-treatment permits are
required, if applicable, by your NPDES Discharge Permit.
10. Solids Handline/Disposal:
The facility must dispose of solids by an acceptable method such as a landfill or utilize the
services of an approved solids hauling and disposal contractor, which requires the facility
to be included under the contractor's non -discharge permit (i.e. land application). The
facility is reminded to maintain adequate records (i.e. shipment dates, quantities, etc.) of
any solids hauling and/or disposal activities.
The ,facility is in compliance with these requirements, and disposes of sludge in the
Kapstone landfill permitted by the NC Division of Waste Management The facility uses
multiple fuel boilers -recovery boiler, biofuels, and some coal for power generation. A
small amount of ash from power generation is stored in an evaporative ash pond. The dry
ash is disposed of in the landfill and/or re -used per NC DWR policy (Jon Ris ag rd is
currently the DWR contact on reuse1503 exempt solids and Steve Kaltenbach of DWR
completed 503 exempt inspection in August 2013-see attached copy). Leachate from the
landfill is sent to the aeration basin (21.5 acres. 3.8 days retention. 73.6 millon ag llon
capacity).
12. Compliance SamWing:
No compliance sampling was conducted the day of this inspection.
13. Operations & Maintenance:
The facility was in compliance with the permit O & M requirements reviewed with facility
staff the day ofthe inspection. However, the inspector notes the following:
The facility reported a proactive maintenance plan for the #1 stabilization basin dredging
and removal ofsolids from 113 of the basin each year. The facility has 3 basins with total
treatment capacity of 480 million gallons (basins are generallyopgrated at 4 feet level). It
was not clear ifbathometry studies or sludge solids data is used to ensure optimum
treatment, but it was explained that wasteivater/sludge can be pumped (as needed/in
emery) to the old sludge lagoon providing additional storage capacity (27.3 acres). It
was also unclear if/how the increased production noted in the DWR permit renewal letter at
the time ofpermit renewal will impact current treatment/capacit�

Raleigh, North Carolina 27609
Subject: KapStone Paper ORC (W W Permit Number NC0000752)
Dear Mr. Reid:
Attached is The Water Pollution System Operator Designation Form identifying the
Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) for the KapStone Paper mill in Roanoke Rapids.
This designation has become necessary due to the retirement of our current ORC, Chris
Puryear. The new ORC will be Mr. Neal Davis, also a Grade IV certified operator, who
has been our backup ORC.
That brings to point the backup ORC. Per our conversation, KapStone has 120 days to
fill the Backup ORC slot. KapStone Paper does not have in its employment the required
Grade III certified operator. Circumstances have prevented us from pursuing another
wastewater engineer in replacement prior to this date. Essentially, Chris' retirement does
not become official until July 7, 2014, and our hands are tied until that date. Such
activity will then proceed immediately. In the interim, I reference 15A NCAC 08G .0602
Temporary Certificates wherein it states that:
"Temporary certificates, of any type and grade, may be issued by the Commission to the
operator of a water pollution control system, for a period not to exceed one year, due to:
1. The vacancy of the Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) or the Backup
Operator in Responsible Charge (Backup ORC)..."
Paul Kinnin, our in-house NPDES laboratory technician is a Grade 2 Operator who will
work towards obtaining Grade III certification in 2014. There is a Grade III class offered
in September and Paul will register for this class held in Kinston, NC. Upon registration,
we will submit the application (with the required $200 fee). The test is in December.

If there are any questions please call Neal Davis at [phone] or me at (252) 533-
6280.
Sincerely.

Dear Mr. Gore:
I understand there is some concern on the wording that appears in Section 6 on the Safety
Data Sheets for 4 defoamer products. The phrase "Do not contaminate surface water' is the
Ecolab standard phrase for products that are not hazardous to the aquatic environment under
"Environmental precautions". Although the product is non -hazardous, we want to ensure that
the information on the SIDS provides the necessary hazardous communication for the
concentrated product and is disposed of properly. Since local authorities may vary in their
requirements, the information found in Section 12 provides the Ecotoxicity data which can
then be used for local compliance.
Extensive testing has been completed on all 4 products of interest. The information provided
along with the specific dose rates can be used to assist our customers in gaining NPDES
approval with their local authorities. Below you will find a summary of applicable acute LC50
data for each product (This information can also be found in section 12 of our MSDS). To put
these values into perspective, the EPA considers products with acute LC50 values greater than
100 mg/L to be practically non -toxic.

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
RISK
Causes severe bums.
Risk of serious damage to eyes.
May cause SENSITIZATION by skin contact.
Toxic by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed.
Very toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long -tens adverse effects in the aquatic environment.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
• The material can produce severe chemical bums within the oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract following ingestion.
■ Toxic effects may result from the accidental ingestion of the material; animal experiments indicate that ingestion of less than 40 gram may
be fatal or may produce serious damage to the health of the individual.
■ Limited evidence exists that the substance may cause irreversible but non -lethal mutagenic effects following a single exposure.
■ isothiazolinones are moderately to highly toxic by orel administration. The major signs of toxicity were severe gastric irritation, lethargy, and
ataxia.
EYE
• The material can produce severe chemical bums to the eye following direct contact. Vapors or mists may be extremely irritating.
• If applied to the eyes, this material causes severe eye damage.
■ Solutions containing isothiazolinones may produce corrosion of the mucous membranes and comes. Instillation of 0.1 ml of an aqueous
solution containing 560 ppm isothiazolinone into rabbit eye did not produce irritation whereas concentrations, typically around 3% and 5.5 %,
were severely irritating or corrosive to the eye.. Symptoms included clouding of the comes, chemosis and swelling of the eyelids.
SKIN
• Skin contact with the material may produce toxic effects; systemic effectsmay result following absorption.
• The material can produce severe chemical bums following direct contactwith the skin.
■ Aqueous solutions of isothiazolinones may be irritating r even corrosive depending on concentration. Solutions containing more than 0.5%
(5000 ppm active substance) may produce severe irritation of human skin whilst solutions containing more than 100 ppm may irritate the
skin.
■ Open cuts, abraded or irritated skin should not be exposed to this material.
■ Entry into the blood -stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, may produce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine
the skin prior to the use of the material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.
INHALED
■ Inhalation of vapors, aerosols (mists, fumes) or dusts, generated by the material during the course of normal handling, may produce toxic
effects.
• The material can cause respiratory irritation in some persons. The bodys response to such irritation can cause further lung damage.
• Persons with impaired respiratory function, airway diseases and conditions such as emphysema or chronic bronchitis, may incur fuller
disability if excessive concentrations of particulate are inhaled.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
• Repeated or prolonged exposure to corrosives may result in the erosion of teeth, inflammatory and ulcerative changes in the mouth and
necrosis (rarely) of the jaw. Bronchial irritation, with cough, and frequent attacks of bronchial pneumonia may ensue. Gastrointestinal
disturbances may also occur. Chronic exposures may result in dermatitis and/or conjunctivitis.
Long-term exposure to respiratory irritants may result in disease of the airways involving difficult breathing and related systemic problems.
Skin contact with the material is more likely to cause a sensitization reaction in some persons compared to the general population.
Limited evidence suggests that repeated or long-term occupational exposure may produce cumulative health effects involving organs or
biochemical systems.
Exposure to the material may result in a possible risk of irreversible effects. The material may produce mutagenic effects in man. This
concem is raised, generally, on the basis of
appropriate studies with similar materials using mammalian somatic cells in vivo. Such findings are often supported by positive results from in
vitro mutagenicity studies.
Long term exposure to high dust concentrations may cause changes in lung function i.e. pneumoconiosis; mused by particles less than 0.5
micron penetrabng and remaining in the lung. Prime symptom is breaNlessness; lung shadows show on X-ray.
The isothiazolinones are known contact sensitisers. Data are presented which demonstrate that, in comparison with the chlonnated and
dichlorinated compounds which share immunological cross -reactivity, the non -chlorinated isothiazolinones have a lower potential for
sensitization and no documented immunological cross -reaction with the chlorinated isothiazolinones. The risk of sensitization depends on
how contact with the product occurs. The risk is greater when the skin barrier has been damaged and smaller when the skin is healthy.
Dermatological studies have demonstrated that mixed isothiazolinone concentrations below 20 ppm may cause sensitisation and that allergic
reactions can be provoked in sensitized persons even with concentrations in the range of 7-15 ppm active isothiazolinones.
The isothiazolinones are a group of heterocyclic sulfur -containing compounds. In general all are electrophilic molecules containing an
activated N-S bond that enables them with nucleophilic call entities, thus exerting biocidal activity. A vinyl activated chlorine atom makes
allows to molecule to exert greater antimicrobial efficiency but at the same time produces a greater potential for sensitisation.
Several conclusions relating to the sensitising characteristics of the isothiazolinones may therefore be drawn'
The strongest sensitisers are the chlorinated isothiazolinones.
2of11

There are known immunological cross -reactions between at least 2 different chlorinated isothiazolirones.
There appears to be no immunological cross reaction between non -chlorinated isothiazolinones and chlorinated isothiazolinones.
Although classified as sensitisers, the nonchlorinated isothiazohnones are considerably less potent s inshisers than are the chlorinated
isothiazolnones.
By avoiding the use of chlorinated isothiazolinones, the potential to induce sensitisation is greatly reduced.
Despite a significant percentage of the population having been previously sensitised to chlorinated and non -chlorinated species, it is likely
that careful and judicious use of non -chlorinated isothiazolinones will result in reduced risk of allergic reactions in those persons.
Although presently available data promise that several non -chlorinated isothiazolinones will offer effective antimicrobial protection in
industrial and personal care products, it is only with the passage of time that proof of their safety in use or otherwise will become available.
B.R. Alexander: Contact Dermatitis 2002, 46, pp 191-196
Although there have been conflicting reports in the literature, it has been reported by several investigators that isothiazolinones are
mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium strains (Ames test). Negative results were obtained in studies of the DNA -damaging potential of mixed
Isothiazolinones (Kathon) in mammalian cells in vitro and of cytogenetic effects and DNA -binding in vivo. The addition of rat liver S-9
(metabolic activation) reduced toxicity but did not eliminate mutagenicity. These compounds bind to the proteins in the S-9. At higher
concentrations of Kathon the increase in mutagenicity may be due to an excess of unbound active compounds.
A study of cutaneous application of Kathon CG in 30 months, three times per week at a concentration of 400 ppm (0.04%) a.i. had no local or
systemic tumourigenic effect in male mice. No dermal or systemic carcinogenic potential was observed.
Reproduction and teratogeniciry studies with rats, given isothiazolinone doses of 1.4-14 mgfkgtday orally from day 6 to day 15 of gestation,
showed no treatment related effects in either the dams or in the foetuses.
The isothiazolinones are used extensively in many industries where antibacterials are required. A mixture in common use contains three
closely related chlorinated isothiazolinones, all of which exhibit allergenic activity;
5chloro-2-methy144sothiazolin-3one (5243-K-CG)'
2-methy14-isothiazolin-3-one (243-K-CG)'
4,5-dichloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3cne (4523-K-CG)'
typically in the ratio 45:15:1.
In guinea pigs equimolar concentrations of the 3 allergens show 5243-K-CG, and 4523-K-CG to be equally strong skin contact sensitisers. In
humans, a similar strength of reactivity is apparent; reaction to 243-K-CG is unclear.

SWALLOWED
For advice, contact a Poisons Information Center or a doctor at once. Urgent hospital treatment s likely to be needed. If swallowed do
NOT induce vomiting. - If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head -down position, if possible) to maintain open airway
and prevent aspiration. - Observe the patient carefully. - Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced
awareness; i.e. becoming unconscious. Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as casualty can comfortably
drink. - Transport to hospital or doctor without delay Treat for shock, if necessary.
EYE
■ If this product comes in contact with the eyes: Immediately hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with running water. Ensure
complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower
lids. - Continue flushing until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Center or a doctor, or for at least 15 minutes. Transport to hospital
or doctor without delay. Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel.
SKIN
■ If skin or hair contact occurs: - Immediately flush body and clothes with large amounts of water, using safety shower if available. - Quickly
remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear. - Wash skin and hair with running water. Continue flushing with water until advised to
stop by the Poisons Information Center. Transport to hospital, or doctor.
INHALED
If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area. Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested. Prostheses such
as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed, where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures. - Apply artificial respiration
if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag -valve mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if necessary.
Transport to hospital, or doctor, without delay. Inhalation of vapors or aerosols (mists, fumes) may cause lung edema. Corrosive substances
may cause lung damage (e.g. lung edema, fluid in the lungs). As this reaction may be delayed up to 24 hours after exposure, affected
individuals need complete rest (preferably in semi -recumbent posture) and must be kept under medical observation even if no symptoms are
(yet) manifested. Before any such manifestation, the administration of a spray containing a dexamethasone derivative or beclomethasone
derivative may be considered. This must definitely be left to a doctor or person authorized by himther. (ICSC13719).
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
■ for corrosives:
BASIC TREATMENT
Establish a patent airway with suction where necessary.
Watch for signs of respiratory insufficiency and assist ventilation as necessary.
Administer oxygen by non-rebreather mask at 10 t0 15 Vmin.

MATERIAL DATA
2-M ETHYL-4-I SOTH IAZOLI N-3-ONE:
. Sensory irritants are chemicals that produce temporary and undesirable side -effects on the eyes, nose or throat. Historically occupational
exposure standards for these irritants have been based on observation of workers' responses to various airbome concentrations. Present
day expectations require that neatly every individual should be protected against even minor sensory irritation and exposure standards are
established using uncertainty factorsor safety factorsof 5 to 10 or more. On occasion animal no -observable -effect -levels (NOEL) are used to
determine these limits where human results are unavailable. An additional approach, typically used by the TLV committee (USA) in
determining respiratory standards for this group of chemicals, has been to assign ceiling values (TLV C) to rapidly acting irritants and to
assign short-term exposure limits (TLV STELs) when the weight of evidence from irritation, bicaccumulation and other endpoints combine to
warrant such a limit. In contrast the MAK Commission (Germany) uses a five -category system based on intensive odour, local irritation, and
elimination half-life. However this system is being replaced to be consistent with the European Union (EU) Scientific Committee for
6of11

Occupational Exposure Limits (SCOEL); this is more closely allied to that of the USA.
OSHA (USA) concluded that exposure to sensory irritants can:
cause inflammation
cause increased susceptibility to other irritants and infectious agents
lead to permanent injury or dysfunction
permit greater absorption of hazardous substances and
acclimate the worker to the irritant warning properties of these substances thus increasing the risk of overexposure.
It is the goal of the ACGIH (and other Agencies) to recommend TLVs (or their equivalent) for all substances for which there is evidence of
health effects at airbome concentrations encountered in the workplace.
At this time no TLV has been established even though this material may produce adverse health effects (as evidenced in animal experiments
or clinical experience). Airborne concentrations must be maintained as low as is practically possible and occupational exposure must be kept
to a minimum.
NOTE: The ACGIH occupational exposure standard for Particles Not Otherwise Specified (P.N.O.S) does NOT apply.

HANDS/FEET
■ Elbow length PVC gloves.
NOTE: The material may produce skin sensitization in predisposed individuals. Care must be taken, when removing gloves and other
protective equipment, to avoid all possible skin contact.
Suitability and durability of glove type is dependent on usage. Important factors in the selection of gloves include: such as:
frequency and duration of contact,
chemical resistance of glove material,
glove thickness and
dexterity
Select gloves tested to a relevant standard (e.g. Europe EN 374, US F739).
When prolonged or frequently repeated contact may occur, a glove with a protection class of 5 or higher (breakthrough time greater than
240 minutes according to EN 374) is recommended.
When only brief contact is expected, a glove with a protection class of 3 or higher (breakthrough time greater than 60 minutes according to
EN 374) is recommended.
Contaminated gloves should be replaced.
Gloves must only be wom on clean hands. After using gloves, hands should be washed and dried thoroughly. Application of a non -perfumed
moisturiser is recommended.

Ensure there is ready access to a safety shower.
RESPIRATOR
Respirators may be necessary when engineering and administrative controls do not adequately prevent exposures.
The decision to use respiratory protection should be based on professional judgment that takes into account toxicity information, exposure
measurement data, and frequency and likelihood of the worker's exposure - ensure users are not subject to high thermal loads which may
result in heat stress or distress due to personal protective equipment (powered, positive flow, full face apparatus may be an option).
Published occupational exposure limits, where they exist, will assist in determining the adequacy of the selected respiratory, These may be
government mandated or vendor recommended.
Certified respirators will be useful for protecting workers from inhalation of particulates when property selected and fit tested as part of a
complete respiratory protection program.
Use approved positive flow mask if significant quantities of dust becomes airborne.
Try to avoid creating dust conditions.
The local concentration of material, quantity and conditions of use determine the type of personal protective equipment required.
Use appropriate NIOSH-certified respirator based on informed professional
judgement. In conditions where no reasonable estimate of exposure can be
made, assume the exposure is in a concentration IDLH and use NIOSH-certlfied
full face pressure demand SCBA with a minimum service life of 30 minutes, or
a combination full facepiece pressure demand SAR with auxiliary selftontained
air supply. Respirators provided only for escape from IDLH atmospheres shall be
7of11

NIOSH-certified for escape from the atmosphere in which they will be used.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Local exhaust ventilation is required where solids are handled as powders or crystals; even when particulates are relatively large, a certain
proportion will be powdered by mutual friction.
Exhaust ventilation should be designed to prevent accumulation and recirculation of particulates in the workplace.
If in spite of local exhaust an adverse concentration of the substance in air could occur, respiratory protection should be considered. Such
protection might consist of:
(a): particle dust respirators, if necessary, combined with an absorption cartridge:
(b): filter respirators with absorption cartridge or canister of the right type;
(c): fresh -air hoods or masks
Build-up of electrostatic charge on the dust particle, may be prevented by bonding and grounding.
Powder handling equipment such as dust collectors, dryers and mills may require additional protection measures such as explosion venting.
Air contaminants generated in the workplace possess varying "escape" velocities which, in tum, determine the "capture velocities" of fresh
circulating air required to efficiently remove the contaminant.
Type of Contaminant: Air Speed:
direct spray, spray painting in shallow booths, drum filling, conveyer
loading, crusher dusts, gas discharge (active generation into zone of 1-2.5 m/s (200-500 f/min.)
rapid air motion)
grinding, abrasive blasting, tumbling, high speed wheel generated
dusts (released at high initial velocity into zone of very high rapid air 2.5-10 m/s (500-2000 f/min.)
motion).
Within each range the appropriate value depends on:
Lower end of the range
Upper end of the range
1: Room air currents minimal or favorable to capture
1: Disturbing room air currents
2: Contaminants of low toxicity or of nuisance value only
2: Contaminants of high toxicity
3: Intermittent, low production.
3: High production, heavy use
4: Large hood or large air mass in motion
4: Small hood -local control only
Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidly with distance away from the opening of a simple extraction pipe. Velocity generally
decreases with the square of distance from the extraction point (in simple cases). Therefore the air speed at the extraction point should be
adjusted, accordingly, after reference to distance from the contaminating source. The air velocity at the extraction fan, for example, should be
a minimum of 4-10 m/s (800-2000 f/min) for extraction of crusher dusts generated 2 meters distant from the extraction point. Other
mechanical considerations, producing performance deficits within the extraction apparatus, make it essential that theoretical air velocities are
multiplied by factors of 10 or more when extraction systems are installed or used.

TOXICITY AND IRRITATION
■ unless otherwise specified data extracted from RTECS - Register of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances.
■ Contact allergies quickly manifest themselves as contact eczema, more rarely as urticeria or Ouincke's edema. The pathogenesis of
contact eczema involves a cell -mediated (T lymphocytes) immune reaction of the delayed type. Other allergic skin reactions, e.g. contact
urticana, involve antibody -mediated immune reactions. The significance of the contact allergen is not simply determined by its sensitization
potential: the distribution of the substance and the opportunities for contact with it are equally important. A weakly sensitizing substance
which is widely distributed can be a more important allergen than one with stronger sensitizing potential with which few individuals come into
contact. From a clinical point of view, substances are noteworthy if they produce an allergic test reaction in more than 1% of the persons
tested.
Asthma -like symptoms may continue for months or even years after exposure to the material ceases. This may be due to a non -allergenic
condition known as reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS) which can occur following exposure to high levels of highly irritating
compound. Key criteria for the diagnosis of RADS include the absence of preceding respiratory disease, in a non-atopic individual, with
abrupt onset of persistent asthma -like symptoms within minutes to hours of a documented exposure to the irritant. A reversible airflow
pattern, on spirometry, with the presence of moderate to severe bronchial hyperreactivity on methachcline challenge testing and the lack of
minimal lymphocyec inflammation, without eosinophilia, have also been included in the criteria for diagnosis of RADS. RADS (or asthma)
following an irritating inhalation is an infrequent disorder with rates related to the concentration of and duration of exposure to the irritating
substance. Industrial bronchitis, on the other hand, is a disorder that occurs as result of exposure due to high concentrations of irritating
substance (often particulate in nature) and is completely reversible after exposure ceases. The disorder is characterised by dyspnea, cough
and mucus production.
No significant acute toxicological data identified in literature search.
The material may be irritating to the eye, with prolonged contact causing inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may
produce conjunctivitis.
The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and may produce on contact skin redness, swelling, the
production of vesicles, scaling and thickening of the skin.
NOTE: Substance has been shown to be mutagenic in at least one assay, or belongs to a family of chemicals producing damage or change
to cellular DNA.

Refer to data for ingredients, which follows:
2-METHYL-4-ISOTH IAZOLIN-3-ONE:
Marine Pollutant: Yes
■ Very toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.
■ Do NOT allow product to come in contact with surface waters or to intertidal areas below the mean hgh water mark. Do not contaminate
water when cleaning equipment or disposing of equipment wash -waters.
Wastes resulting from use of the product must be disposed of on site or at approved waste sites.
• The isothiazolinones are very toxic to marine organisms (fish, Daphnia magna and algae)
The high water solubility and low log Kow values of several chlorinated and non -chlorinated indicate a low potential for bioaccumulation.
Studies of 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3cne (CMI) in bluegill sunfish (Lepomis machrochirus) show BCF values of 102. 114 and 67 at
nominal concentrations of 0.02, 0.12 and 0.8 mg1l. The BCF for 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3cne (MI) was determined at 2.3 at a nominal
concentration of 0.12 mgA
Primary biodegradation of MI and CMI occurred with half-lives of less than 24 hours in aerobic and anoxic sediments, and within a period of
less than one week the parent compounds were depleted to very low levels that could not be clearly distinguished from analytical artifacts.
The ultimate aerobic biodegradability of both MI and CMI attained levels of > 55% within 29 days. Furthermore, the proposed metabolites of
MI and CMI are considered to have a low aquatic toxicity on the basis of OSAR estimates and the measured toxicity of the structurally related
N-(n-octyl) malonamic acid.
• Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or watercourses.
■ DO NOT discharge into sewer or waterways.
■ The material is classified as an ecotoxin' because the Fish LC50 (96 hours) is less than or equal b 0.1 mgA

SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIRE FIGHTING:
In case of fire, wear a full face positive -pressure self contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.
6. 1 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS:
Restrict access to area as appropriate until clean-up operations are complete. Stop or reduce any leaks if it is safe to
do so. Do not touch spilled material. Ventilate spill area if possible. Use personal protective equipment recommended
in Section 8 (Exposure Controls/Personal Protection).
METHODS FOR CLEANING UP:
SMALL SPILLS: Soak up spill with absorbent material. Place residues in a suitable, covered, properly labeled
container. Wash affected area. LARGE SPILLS: Dike and absorb with inert material (e.g. dry earth, sand), shovel all
contaminated solids into a pail or drum and then treat with enough deactivation solution to wet the solids thoroughly.
Let these containers stand open for 48 hours to prevent pressure build up and then seal for disposal. Equipment
containing residues should be decontaminated before carrying out maintenance or repair work or using for other
service. Contaminated surfaces should be swabbed with deactivation solution, wait for the reaction to subside and
rinse thoroughly with clean water. DEACTIVATION SOLUTION - Estimate volume of remaining spilled material on the
floor and prepare 10 times as much deactivation solution as follows. Prepare fresh by mixing 5% sodium hypochlorite
(household bleach) and 5% sodium bicarbonate or potassium bicarbonate away from the immediate area of the spill.
The solution can be prepared by adding household bleach to the 3-quart fill mark on the 1 gallon plastic container
containing 1/3 of a lb. (150 grams) of sodium bicarbonate. Put on the appropriate personal protection equipment and
close the container securely and shake well for 1 minute. The materials and equipment for preparing solutions should
be kept available for use in areas where spills may occur. Wash site of spillage thoroughly with water. Contact an
approved waste hauler for disposal of contaminated recovered material. Dispose of material in compliance with
regulations indicated in Section 13 (Disposal Considerations).
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS:
Do not contaminate surface water.
7. 1 HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING:
Avoid eye and skin contact. Do not take internally. Ensure all containers are labeled. Keep the containers closed
when not in use.
STORAGE CONDITIONS:
Store the containers tightly closed. Protect product from freezing.
SUITABLE CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL:
Compatibility with Plastic Materials can vary; we therefore recommend that compatibility is tested prior to use

SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIRE FIGHTING:
In case of fire, wear a full face positive -pressure self contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.
6. 1 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS:
Restrict access to area as appropriate until clean-up operations are complete. Stop or reduce any leaks if it is safe to
do so. Do not touch spilled material. Ventilate spill area if possible. Use personal protective equipment recommended
in Section 8 (Exposure Controls/Personal Protection).
METHODS FOR CLEANING UP:
SMALL SPILLS: Soak up spill with absorbent material. Place residues in a suitable, covered, properly labeled
container. Wash affected area. LARGE SPILLS: Dike and absorb with inert material (e.g. dry earth, sand), shovel all
contaminated solids into a pail or drum and then treat with enough deactivation solution to wet the solids thoroughly.
Let these containers stand open for 48 hours to prevent pressure build up and then seal for disposal. Equipment
containing residues should be decontaminated before carrying out maintenance or repair work or using for other
service. Contaminated surfaces should be swabbed with deactivation solution, wait for the reaction to subside and
rinse thoroughly with clean water. DEACTIVATION SOLUTION - Estimate volume of remaining spilled material on the
floor and prepare 10 times as much deactivation solution as follows. Prepare fresh by mixing 5% sodium hypochlorite
(household bleach) and 5% sodium bicarbonate or potassium bicarbonate away from the immediate area of the spill.
The solution can be prepared by adding household bleach to the 3-quart fill mark on the 1 gallon plastic container
containing 1/3 of a lb. (150 grams) of sodium bicarbonate. Put on the appropriate personal protection equipment and
close the container securely and shake well for 1 minute. The materials and equipment for preparing solutions should
be kept available for use in areas where spills may occur. Wash site of spillage thoroughly with water. Contact an
approved waste hauler for disposal of contaminated recovered material. Dispose of material in compliance with
regulations indicated in Section 13 (Disposal Considerations).
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS:
Do not contaminate surface water.
7. 1 HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING:
Avoid eye and skin contact. Do not take internally. Ensure all containers are labeled. Keep the containers closed
when not in use.
STORAGE CONDITIONS:
Store the containers tightly closed. Protect product from freezing.
