Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit.
Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements
of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended).
There was one addition to the draft permit requirements. Because your discharge is upstream and within
5 miles of the Sanford WTP intake, the Division of Water Resources/Public Water Supply Section has alerted
the Division that monthly monitoring for effluent fecal coliform must be added to the final permit.
Summary of Cheri in Final Permit from Existing Permit
1. Outfall 001: Monthly monitoring for fecal coliform was added. Based on discharge location upstream
from Sanford WTP intake.
2. Outfall 001: Monitoring for chromium, copper, c59nide, lead, and zinc was removed. Based on
Reasonable Potential Analyses strategy.
3. Ou fall 001: New limits for BOD and TSS were applied based on process wastewater flow and domestic
wastewater flow. Based on 40 CFR 414 Subpart E guidance and domestic wastewater secondary
treatment standards
4. Oufall 001: New limits for effluent characteristic in A. (2) were applied based on process wastewater
flow. Based on 40 CFR 414 Subpart I guidance.
5. Oufall 001: Annual monitoring for salinity, total dissolved solids, total arsenic, total chloride, and total
iron will be added. Based on WTP guidance for reverse osmosis wastewater.

A. (3) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QUARTERLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant
mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 0.3901o.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in
the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised December 2010, or
subsequent versions or "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure"
(Revised -December 2010) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months of
February, May, August and November. These months signify the first month of each three month
toxicity testing quarter assigned to the facility. 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.
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 THP3B 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. Assessment of toxicity compliance is based
on the toxicity testing quarter, which is the three month time interval that begins on the first day of the
month in which toxicity testing is required by this permit and continues until the final day of the third
month.
Part I, Page 4 of 14

Permit NC00001889
(Continued A. (3) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QUARTERLY))
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.
If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently then required by this permit, the results of such
monitoring shall be included in the calculation and reporting of the data submitted on the DMR and all
AT Forms submitted.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control

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.
A. (4) PROVISIONAL WAIVER OF INSTREAM MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Instream monitoring requirements in this NPDES permit shall be provisionally waived so long as the
Permittee remains a member of the Upper Cape Fear River Basin Association and the Association
continues to function as approved by the Division and Environmental Management Commission. If
the Permittee does not participate in the Association or if the Association ceases to function, the
instream monitoring requirements in this permit become effective immediately; and the Division may
reopen this permit by administrative letter to establish additional instream monitoring requirements, it
deems necessary to adequately characterize the effects of the discharges on water quality in the
receiving stream.
A. (5) PERMIT RE -OPENER: SUPPLEMENTARY NUTRIENT MONITORING
Pursuant to N.C. General Statutes Section 143-215.1 and the implementing rules found in Title 15A of
the North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 02H, specifically, 15A NCAC 02H.0112(b)(1)
and 02H.0114(a), and Part 11, Sections B.12. and B.13. of this Permit, the Director of DWQ may

SECTION B: STORMWATER
Qi111D►i%IZi1\aTo7TI- ITelen:1.7ulC1
During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the
permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater associated with industrial activity through Outfalls
002, 003, and 004. Such discharges shall be controlled, limited and monitored as specified in this
permit.
If industrial materials and activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described in 40 CFR
§ 122.26(g), the facility may qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES stormwater discharge
permit requirements. Any owner or operator wishing to obtain a No Exposure Certification must
submit a No Exposure Certification NOI form to the Division; must receive approval by the Division;
must maintain no exposure conditions unless authorized to discharge under a valid NPDES stormwater
permit; and must reapply for the No Exposure Exclusion once every five (5) years.
B. (2) PERMITTED ACTIVITIES
Until this permit expires or is modified or revoked, the permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater
to the surface waters of North Carolina or separate storm sewer system that has been adequately treated
and managed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this individual permit. All stormwater
discharges shall be in accordance with the conditions of this permit.
Any other point source discharge to surface waters of the state is prohibited unless it is an allowable
non-stormwater discharge or is covered by another permit, authorization, or approval. The stormwater
discharges allowed by this individual permit shall not cause or contribute to violations of Water
Quality Standards.
This permit does not relieve the permittee from responsibility for compliance with any other applicable
federal, state, or local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or decree.
B. (3) STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
The Permittee shall develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, herein after referred to as the
Plan. This Plan shall be considered public information in accordance with Part Il, Section E, Paragraph
10 of this individual permit. The Plan shall include, at a minimum, the following items:
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 general location map (or alternatively the site map) shall
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

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 outfalls, 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, direction of flow in each
drainage area, 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.
(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 outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-
stormwater discharges. The certification statement will be signed in accordance with
the requirements found in Part II, Section B, Paragraph 11. The permittce shall re-
certify annually that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of
non-stormwater discharges.
2. Stormwater Management Plan. The stormwater management plan shall contain a narrative
description of the materials management practices employed which control or minimithe
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, the pemuttee 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
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 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
Part I, Page 7 of 14

uncontaminated by any material. 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 the 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. A responsible person 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 Control and Countermeasure
plan (SPCC) 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.
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance and
good housekeeping 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 programs 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 Party. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 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.

Permit NC0000892
(Continued B. (3) STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN)
7. Plan Amendment. The permittee shall amend the Plan 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 Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plan 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 written re -certification
that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges.
Each annual update shall include a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the BMPs
listed in the BMP Summary of the Stormwater Management Plan.
The Director may notify the permittee when the Plan does not meet one or more of the
minimum requirements of the permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the pernttee shall submit
a time schedule to the Director for modifying the Plan to meet minimum requirements. The
permittee shall provide certification in writing in accordance with Part II, Section B, Paragraph
11 to the Director 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 special
conditions B.(4) and B.(5) of this permit.
9. Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Plan. Implementation of the Plan shall
include documentation of 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 docurentation 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.
B. (4) ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges from Stormwater Discharge Outfalls 002, 003, and
004 shall be performed as specified in Table 1. All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a
representative storm event. The required monitoring will result in a minimum of ten analytical
samplings being conducted over the term of the permit at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO).
A representative storm event is a storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall.
The time between this storm event and the previous storm event measuring greater than 0.1
inches must be at least 72 hours. A single storm event may have a period of no precipitation of
up to 10 hours. For example, if it rains but stops before producing any collectable discharge, a
sample may be collected if the next rain producing a discharge begins within 10 hours.

ADDENDUM - FACT SHEET FOR FINAL NPDES PERMIT
ARCLIN USA, LLC PERMIT NC0000892
As a discharge into a WS class receiving stream approval was requested from DWR/PWSS. The
PWSS Regional Engineer, Michael Douglas, reviewed the draft and approved the final permit
contingent on the addition of monthly monitoring for effluent fecal coliform because this
discharge is upstream and within 5 miles of Sanford WTP intake. Monthly effluent fecal
coliform monitoring was added. The Permittee representative was contacted and made aware of
the addition and why it was added prior to issuing the final permit.

Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Arclin US, LLC Wastewater Treatment Plant
NPDES Permit No. NC0000892
Chatham County
Dear Mr. Reddy:
On December 5, 2018, Jason Robinson of the Division of Water Resources (DWR)Raleigh Regional
Office (RRO) conducted a compliance evaluation inspection of the subject facility. The assistance
provided by yourself, Mr. Harvey Bowman, the HSE Coordinator and Mr. Chris Lamm, the backup
ORC, was appreciated. The inspection report is attached. The following observations were made:
The Arclin USA, LLC Wastewater Treatment Plant is a Class 2 wastewater facility (WW-2)
permitted to discharge at a rate of 0.100 MGD and consists of. gravity channel from the process
area, influent pump station; an aerated 1.7 MG concrete lined equalization basin with three
manually -operated 20 horsepower surface aerators, continuous pH monitoring and caustic feed for
needed adjustment, phosphoric acid feed for mixed liquor nutritional needs, defoamer feed; 1.6
MG concreted lined aerated storage basin (ASB) with three manually -operated 20 horsepower
surface aerators; 1 12-foot diameter, 8-foot deep clarifier with return activated sludge (RAS) and
waste activated sludge (WAS) capabilities; effluent through with a V-notch 90 degree weir; ultra-
sonic flow meter, feed for polymer feed system and eight covered sludge drying beds. An older
primary clarifier is used as an emergency collection / storage unit / holding tank.
1. David Lorbacher is the primary Operator in Charge (ORC) of the facility. Chris Lamm is the
backup ORC (bORC). Both are WW-2 Operators. It is recommended that the operator keen a
visitation logbook that includes dates and times of all daily actions, observations, etc.
2. The most recent permit became effective on July 31, 2013 and expired on July 31, 2016. A
permit renewal application was submitted to the Division by the permittee in March 2016. A
new permit has of yet not been issued to the facility. As mentioned in an earlier inspection
report, in the application, the description of the units should accurately reflect the units in the
wastewater system.
3. The facility is field certified for pH, temperature and dissolved oxygen. pH buffers were
within expiration inspection dates.

4. Lab results, chain :ustody forms, and DMRs were com-'-'- and current, kept in good order
and ready for rev.,,... February and August 2018 DMR & as reviewed and compared to
lab bench sheets; no data transcription errors were noted. Pace Analytical labs is used to
analyze most parameters.
a. Several parameters area analyzed in mg/L but are required to be reported in lbs/day. The
permittee uses a spreadsheet to make these conversions. Please continue to save and have
these spreadsheets available.
b. The permittee asked the inspector if hard copies of lab and other documents needed to be
kept if electronic copies are kept. Electronic copies may be kept instead of hard copies
However, the inspector recommends that hard copies of all documents should kept for at
least one year.
c. It was noted that some parameters that were analyzed and reported on the bench sheets
were not reported on the DMRs. The permittee explained this was because the lab
analyzed the parameters more frequently than is required by the permit, and the permittee
only reported the required frequency. Please note that if a parameter is analyzed, it must be
reported on the DMR even if that means that the permittee reports at a higher frequency
than what is required in the permit All analyzed parameters must be reported.
5. All aerators were in use were in use in both the equalization basin and ASB during the visit.
The aerators are operated manually. A current is located near influent of the equalization basin
to increase detention time. Weirs in the clarifier appeared level and clean. The sludge blanket
level of the 8' deep clarifiers was approximately 1.5'. RAS from the clarifier is recycled to
either the EQ or ASB. WAS is conveyed to the sludge drying beds. Seven of the 8 drying
beds were being used, and one was being used for storage. Sludge is removed by McGill
Environmental Services. Sludge records were reviewed. Please continue to keep these records.
6. Sump pumps located in two areas in the sludge bed area are designed to capture runoff in this
area and to pump it back into the system. Both pumps did not appear to be fully operational.
These pumps should be repaired or replaced and tested to ensure that runoff from this area is
collected and sent back into the system for treatment. In your response to this report, please
propose a timeline for the repair of these pumps and report to the Division when the repairs are
complete.
During the inspection and in follow-up conversations with facility staff, it was explained that
a new pump had been placed in the influent pump station to pump into the old adjacent primary
clarifier that is currently used as an emergency collection / storage unit / holding tank. The
water in the holding tank during the inspector's visit was said to come from the truck loading
area. This water is more concentrated (wash -water) and until recently was mostly recycled
back into the facility's product with the rest discharged to the EQ Basin. The facility still
recycles what it can, but are temporarily limited due to the loss of a specific customer whose
product could take a large portion of this more concentrated wastewater. Because of this, the
permittee has had to discharge more of the water to the EQ basin, and based on monitoring, is
diverting some to the storage tank where it's hauled by Shamrock Environmental for treatment.
The permittee anticipates that all wastewater will resume being sent to the EQ basin in the
.,.. D__ Q fir,

specific in terms of the "errors in [Cameron Testing Service's] procedure/methods" that they referred to so we
contacted Chris Cameron to inquire what they found. Dr. Cameron was immediately aware of the issue with the Arclin
samples and stated that he disagreed with Arclin's explanation. He explained that they did not find any error in their
analytical procedure/methods. Cameron Testing Services is appropriately titrating BOD samples according to SM 5210 B
(4) (b) (2)-2001. When using this method, an aliquot of sample is tested by adding 2%sulfuric acid, KI solution and
starch. If upon addition of these initial reagents, the solution remains clear, this is indicative that no chlorine (or other
oxidizers) is present and there is no sodium sulfite neutralization required. If the solution turns blue, an oxidizer is
present and samples are carefully titrated with sodium sulfite solution drop -by -drop with stirring until the sample is
clear again. The drops are counted and that same ratio amount is added to an aliquot of sample used for BOD analysis.
So while Arclin is correct that sodium sulfite can exert its own demand, there was no influence from this on Arclin's
samples since they were appropriately titrated.
Dr. Cameron went on to say that Mr. Chris Lamm and Mr. Bowman Harvey of Arclin came to the lab and observed the
positive testing results for oxidizers on their samples both using a DPD screen (DPD powder can be used as a qualitative
check as to whether oxidizers are present and is often used as a quick pre-screen of samples, which when they test
positive are then titrated per SM) and the SM 5210 B titration. Dr. Cameron stated that he also measured chlorine
spectrophotometrically in at least one Arclin sample as high as 27 mg/L. The analyst (Beth) also stated that the samples
had a strong odor of chlorine when the sample bottle was opened for analysis. She also mentioned that sample bottles
appeared swollen as if the samples were off -gassing.
So, since the "split" sample results between Pace and Cameron Testing were so widely divergent, we contacted Pace -
Eden to determine if they had similar findings. At this point in time, Pace was just finalizing corrective actions having
self -discovered a quality control issue with the Arclin samples. The Arclin samples were initially received at the Pace —
Raleigh location and then transferred to the Pace — Eden location for analysis. For routinely received samples, the Pace -
Eden laboratory verifies the chlorine at sample receiving with DPD powder and then documents it and lets the lab
know. If there is a sample with chlorine, the laboratory then titrates the sample and dechlorinates it appropriately. The
issue was that since the Arclin samples came through Pace -Raleigh and then transferred to the Eden lab, the Eden lab
thought the Raleigh lab had already screened the samples for chlorine, the samples were not checked at Eden and were
assumed to be free of chlorine. Pace has since addressed the issue and are requiring the Eden lab to check each sample
at the bench and not to rely on sample receiving. Pace - Eden analyzed Arclin samples collected on 9/7/2017 using this
procedure and found through the SM titration procedure that they had to use 1.46 mis of sodium sulfite to neutralize
oxidizers and the resultant BOD value was 180 mg/L (data attached), which is similar to the results Cameron Testing
Services was seeing for these samples.
So, this appears to support that Cameron Testing Service's protocol did appropriately follow the Standard Methods
method requirements and that there was initially an error with the Pace — Eden results. I see that Arclin states that
chlorine is not used in their process, but other oxidizers (e.g., bromine, iodine, chlorine dioxide, permanganate, ozone)
with similar effect are determined through this process. As an industrial waste stream, Arclin's discharge may be
complex and so it is possible that these samples might require special study and treatment.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have additional questions.

Sodium Sulfite:
If there is a "0" listed in 'Drops of SS" column, then Chlorine was measured and found not present in sample.
Footnotes:
BI Less than 1.0 mg/L DO remained for all dilutions set. The reported value is an estimated greater
than value and is calculated for the dilution using the least amount of sample.
B2 Oxygen usage is less than 2.0 for all dilutions set. The
reported value is an estimated less than value and is
calculated for the dilution using the most amount of sample.
B3 The dissolved oxygen depletion of the dilution water blank
exceeded 0.20 mg/L.
LO Analyte recovery in the laboratory control sample (LCS) was outside QC limits.
Analyte recovery in the laboratory control sample (LCS) was above QC limits. Results for the
Ll analyte in the samples may be biased high.

RE: Arclin USA, LLC
NPDES Permit Number NC0000892
Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD 5-Day)
Monthly Average Discharge Permit Limit Exceedance
Dear Mr. Smith,
NC Dept of Environmental Quality
AUG _ 1 2017
lWeigh Reg
PvSG���
Arclin USA, LLC operates the above -referenced wastewater treatment facility. Laboratory testing of Arclin's
effluent for the month of June 2017 indicates that Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD 5-Day) monthly average
discharge was 29.1 Ibs/day. This BOD resulted in an exceedance of the facility wastewater discharge permit's
maximum monthly limit: average of 27.5 lbs/day. However, there were no unusual activities at the plant during
the month of June, and the samples appeared normal at the time of collection. While investigating our process we
took split samples starting in the month of July. Samples were sent to two analytical laboratories, Cameron
Testing Services and Pace Analytical Laboratory. Sample results indicated a vastly different result between the
two laboratories. Pace Analytical reported results of <2 mg/l, while Cameron Testing reported results of 107 mg/1
on 7/6/17, and had similar discrepancies between split samples taken on July 13th (see table below).
Arclin contacted Cameron Testing, our contract analytical laboratory for BOD 5-Day analysis, and they found
errors in their analytical procedure/methods. The lab was checking for the presence of residual chlorine using
method SM 5210 B (4) (2)-2001. Because we do not use chlorine in our process, this method significantly
contributed to the higher BOD result with the excessive neutralizing of our samples with sodium sulfite.
Cameron Testing Services has since stopped using sample method SM 5210 B (4) (2) 2001. Cameron Testing is
now only pre-screening our samples utilizing the DPD powder method which indicates no chlorine present in our
wastewater samples.
Unfortunately, allowable hold times for the samples are exceeded for the month of June therefore the samples
could not be re -analyzed.

While the evidence supports laboratory error, Arclin is reporting the BOD measurements but are claiming in-
compliance status.
In addition, because Cameron Testing Services used the same chlorine pre-screening method since January 26,
2017 during the month of March 2017 were we first exceeded our BOD monthly limit: average, we feel that the
reported BOD 5-Day measurements were well within normal ranges during that time. Arclin now believes the
March, 2017 BOD5 results are extremely inflated, and that we were actually in compliance with the BOD5
monthly average discharge permit limit. Therefore, Arclin respectfully requests that NC DENR rescind the
Notice of Violation issued to Arclin on June 19, 2017 for exceeding the monthly average 5-day BOD permit limit.

RE: Notice of Violation & Intent to Assess Civil Penalty
Tracking Number: NOV-2017-LV-0454
Permit Number NC0000892
Arclin USA, LLC
Dear Mr. Smith: V�
This submittal is in response to the Notice of Violation & Intent to Assess Civil Penalty, issued
to the Arclin USA, LLC facility in Moncure, North Carolina, which was received on June 20,
2017. The NOV was issued for exceedance of the monthly average 5-Day BOD discharge limit
in Arclin's wastewater discharge permit in March, 2017.
Upon learning of the elevated BOD discharge concentrations from our contract laboratory,
Arclin conducted an investigation as to potential causes. It is believed that extensive equipment
cleaning operations during the middle of the month contributed to additional organics being sent
to the facility wastewater treatment plant, resulting in elevated BOD in the wastewater discharge.
Steps are being taken to ensure these operations are limited in the future to prevent a recurrence
of high organic loading to the wastewater facility.
In addition, the NOV issued by NCDEQ includes a reminder that "Pursuant to Permit Condition
6 in Section E, the Permittee is required to notify the Regional Office as soon as possible, not to
exceed 24 hours, from first knowledge of any non-compliance at the facility including limit
violations, bypasses of, or failure of a treatment unit". It is Arclin's understanding that this
condition only applies to "any non-compliance that potentially threatens public health or the
environment." Because the average BOD concentration exceedance reported (36.08 lbs./day)
was less than half the permit allowance of the daily maximum BOD allowable discharge (72.8
lbs./day), we did not believe that the discharge was a threat to public health or the environment.
Therefore, the permit exceedance was reported per instruction of Condition 7, and included in
the March Discharge Monitoring Report. If all numerical discharge limit exceedances are
790 Corinth Road • Moncum, North Carolina 27559 • USA • p 919.542.2526 f919.542.2817 • w ..arclin.com

required to be reported orally within 24 hours, please let us know, and we will update our
reporting procedures.
Arclin strives to be a good corporate citizen, and takes all permit exceedances seriously. If you
have any questions concerning this permit exceedance, our investigation, or corrective measures,
please feel free to contact Bowman Harvey at [phone], or me at [phone].

Dlrrrror
On March 17, 2017, Cheng Zhang of the Raleigh Regional Office (RRO) conducted a compliance
evaluation inspection of the subject facility. The assistance provided by Mr. David Lorbacher, the
operator in responsible charge (ORC), Mr. Chris Lamm, the backup ORC, and Mr. Harvey Bowman, the
HSE Coordinator, was appreciated as it facilitated the inspection process. The inspection report is
attached. The following observations were made:
Arclin USA, Inc. — Moncure Plant is permitted. to discharge at a rate of 0.1 MGD and consist of:
aerated equalization (EQ) basin with surface aerators, active sludge aeration basin with surface
aerators, secondary clarifier, sludge drying beds, effluent flow meter and composite sampler. The
plant discharges into the Haw River, a WS-IV waters in the Cape Fear River basin.
1. Current permit expires on July 31, 2016. The facility submitted permit renewal application On
March 28, 2016, which is in review by the Division of Water Resources.
2. The facility has seven sludge drying beds (four 20 fix 50ft ones and three 25 ft x 50 ft ones). The
facility does not have tertiary sand filters. At the time of inspection, all beds were empty. Dried
sludge was placed in a storage area adjacent to the beds and ready to be hauled away.
3. Domestic sewage is pumped to the EQ basin from the domestic pump station. Process water is
also pumped to the EQ basin. EQ basin has three surface aerators. Aeration basin also have three
surface aerators. These aerators are turned on or off based on the DO levels at the basins.
4. Mixed liquor leaves aeration basin and enters the secondary clarifier, polymers and Megafloc are
fed to facilitate settling of solids. At the time of inspection, sludge blanket was higher (6 feet in

the 8 feet deep clarifier) than normal (about two feet). Mr. Lamm explained that high sludge
blanket is due to a frozen tube during previous night causing polymer not being fed.
5. 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. December 2016 DMR data were compared to lab bench sheets; no data transcription
errors were noted during the inspection.
6. 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.
Outfalls 002, 003, and 004 (stormwater discharge outfalls) was also maintained and accessible.
7. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan was reviewed and found compliant with permit
requirements. Qualitative and analytical monitoring results were also reviewed. It was noted
that the facility exceeded benchmarks for BOD and COD at Outfal1002 for two consecutive
sampling periods (November 2015 and May 2016), which put it in Tier Two. Facility failed
to conduct monthly sampling at the outfall. Sample results for the two parameters from
September 2016 were below the benchmarks.
8. Field lab parameter (Certificate No. 5285) calibration and analysis records were reviewed during
the inspection.
9. It was noted that the temperature inside the effluent composite sampler was more than 10
degrees Celsius (the sampler was not collecting samples at the time). Please ensure the
temperature of composite sample be kept at less than or equal to 6.0 degrees Celsius.
10. It was noted that the facility started to submit DMR electronically in December 2016.
