Dear Mr. Schermbeck:
Coleen H. Sullins, Director
Division of Water Quality
The Raleigh Regional Office staff has reviewed your response dated May 28, 2008, requesting the Notice of
Violation and Assessment of Civil Penalty be retracted. Your letter explained that DWQ had misread the units
on the Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR). As such, the RRO re-evaluated the DMR and confirmed that the
actual value of 0.0068 pounds per day is much lower than the daily maximum and monthly average limit of the
permit.
This office agrees with your request, by copy of this letter the Notice of Violation and Assessment of Civil
Penalty, LV-2008-0171 dated May 9, 2008, are rescinded.
If you have questions or wish to discuss this matter further please call Stephanie Brixey or myself at (919) 791-
4200.
Sincere

Dear Mr. Schermbeck:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of $649.68
($600.00 civil penalty + $49.68 enforcement costs) against Arclin USA Inc.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge
monitoring report (DMR) submitted by Arclin USA Inc for the month of February 2008. This
review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations and/or
monitoring requirements found in NPDES Permit NC0000892. The violations that occurred in
February 2008 are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Arclin USA Inc violated the terms,
conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit NC0000892 and G.S. 143-215.1(a)(6) in the manner
and extent shown in Attachment A. In accordance with the maximums established by G.S. 143-
215.6A(a)(2), a civil penalty may be assessed against any person who violates the terms,
conditions or requirements of a permit required by G.S. 143-215. 1 (a).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with authority
provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the
Director of the Division of Water Quality, I, S. Daniel Smith, Division of Water Quality Regional
Supervisor for the Raleigh Region, hereby make the following civil penalty assessment against

TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
282'. 1 (b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or
to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over
which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative
hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please
prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be

Case No. LV-2008-0171
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282. I (b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Quality will review your evidence and inform
you of her decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details
regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to
the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions
(Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part
of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that
you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that
you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should
be submitted to the following address:

RE: Notice of Violation and Assessment of Civil Penalty
NPDES Permit Number NC0000892
Case Number LV-2008-0171
Arclin USA, Incorporated —Moncure, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Smith:
�i -JUN - 4,2008
Arclin USA, Incorporated owns and operates a chemical manufacturing facility in
Chatham County, North Carolina. We have received the above -referenced Notice of
Violation and Assessment of Civil Penalty issued by the NCDENR related to wastewater
discharges in February, 2008. Arclin believes this NOV was issued in error, and requests
that the NCDENR formally withdraw the NOV.
The NOV was issued for exceeding the "Daily Maximum" and "Monthly Average"
discharge limits for Nickel during monitoring conducted in February, 2008. The NPDES
permit limits discharge of Nickel to 1.527 pounds/day (daily maximum), and 0.648
pounds/day (monthly average). With a measured Nickel concentration of 11 µg/l, and the
discharge quantity of 74,128 gallons on February 19, 2008 (the day of sampling), Nickel
discharges were only 0.0068 pounds during that day, which is well below both the daily
maximum and monthly average Nickel discharge limits. A review of the NCDENR NOV
issued to Arclin seems to indicate the State misread the units of measure for discharge
permit limits, reading the discharge permit limits as micrograms/liter, instead of
pounds/day.
If you concur that the NOV was issued in error, please provide Arclin with a written
withdrawal of the Notice of Violation and Assessment of Civil Penalty. We request that
this be done as quickly as possible, in order for us to avoid the need to file a petition for
an administrative hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings, in accordance with
the terms and conditions set forth in the NOV.

If we have misunderstood the calculations used to determine that Arclin violated the
NPDES permit, and NCDENR still believes the NOV was correctly issued, please contact
us so that we may have discussions to better understand the basis of the NOV.

Dear Mr. Schermbeck:
Michael F. Easley, Governor
William G. Ross, Jr., Secretary
North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources
Coleen H. Sullins, Director
Division of Water Quality
On May 22, 2008, Ms. Stephanie Brixey of the Raleigh Regional Office conducted a compliance evaluation
inspection of the facility with the assistance of Mr. David Lorbacher, ORC of the facility. His help was
appreciated as it facilitated the inspection process.
The following observations were made:
1. The Arclin W WTP is currently permitted to discharge at a rate of 0.100 MGD and consists of: an
aerated equalization basin, an aeration basin with activated sludge, a secondary clarifier, sand filters,
effluent trough with flow meter and sludge drying beds. The facility's permit also includes stormwater
requirements for three outfalls (002, 003 and 004). The facility discharges into the Haw River,
classified as WS-IV waters in the Cape Fear River Basin.
2. Mr. Lorbacher stated that Mr. James Frick is no longer a backup ORC. An ORC or backup ORC is
required to notify TACU in writing within 14 days of vacating an ORC or backup ORC position. The
ORC designation form can be found at: http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/tacu/forms.html. Please submit an
updated form immediately. Mr. Chris Lamm and Mr. Thomas Dixon are still backups for the facility.
3. Arclin has a field lab certification to analyze pH, temperature and D.O. All other parameters are sent to
Carolina Environmental and TriTest Laboratories.
4. A review of plant records indicated that all records are being kept as required. A comparison of the
January through March 2008 DMRs indicated no discrepancies.
5. McGill Composting disposes of the sludge from the facility's seven drying beds. The drying beds were
being cleaned the day of the inspection.
6. The sand filter is used when TSS levels are high. Currently there are no problems with solids; therefore
the filters are not in operation. Carolina

•
Mr. Lorbacher stated that he calibrates the flow meter annually used for reporting. He calibrates using
two points (low flow and high flow). Please make sure a three-point calibration is performed and
documented. It is recommended that the three points be at: zero flow, high flow and mid -range of the
previous two points.
8. The facility has a Delta V system that sets off an alarm if something vanes from the set range. The pH
meters in the equalization basin and the aeration basin are set to trigger the alarm when levels are too
low or too high. The system also monitors the sludge level in the secondary clarifier and the flow in the
effluent trough.
9. The facility no longer has an individual stormwater permit number NCS000150. The stormwater
requirements are now part of the NPDES permit number NC0000892. Stormwater records were
reviewed during the inspection. The following items were noted:
I. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) needs to be updated. The facility
has had a name change, which should be incorporated into the plan.
II. The site map needs to be updated to include outfall 004 and some buildings that
have been added to the site.
III. All outfalls should be re -certified.
IV. Employee training is computer based but needs to be documented some way in the
records.
10. Mr. Lorbacher is keeping the files in a well -organized fashion. Such order eased the file review process.
The overall conditions of the Arclin W WTP and stormwater program are compliant with Division standards. If
you have any questions regarding the attached report or any of my findings, please contact Stephanie Brixey at
[phone] (or email: stephanie.brixey@a,ncmail.net).

Formaldehyde Release Follow-up Report
Dear Mr. Schuster:
MAY 1 2 2D
This submittal is to provide written follow-up reporting, required by 40 CFR
355.40(b)(3), related to the May 7, 2008 release incident at the Arclin USA, Incorporated
facility in Moncure, North Carolina. Verbal notifications of this incident, which resulted
in the release of 250-300 pounds of formaldehyde to the air, were provided to Mr. Chris
Tant at the SERC, and Ms. Denise Suits of the Chatham County LEPC, as well as the
National Response Center (Mr. Tant indicated our written follow-up notification should
be sent to you).
Listed below is the information requested to be submitted by the regulation:
(i) Actions taken to respond to and contain the release; The release incident
occurred when a formaldehyde storage tank was overfilled, resulting in the
release of approximately 175 gallons of a 54% formaldehyde solution to the
concrete containment dike surrounding the tank. The transfer was
immediately terminated, and clean-up of the material commenced. The
spilled formaldehyde solution, and all clean-up water used to clean the area,
were recovered and will be re -used in our resin production process. Our
calculations indicate that during clean-up operations, which took about 90
minutes, approximately 250-300 pounds of formaldehyde evaporated into the
air.
(fi) Any known or anticipated acute or chronic health risks associated with the
release; No employees or off -site personnel were exposed as a result of this
incident; therefore no acute or chronic health effects are known or anticipated.

2. Dynea has a laboratory certification to analyze pH, temperature and D.O. All other parameters are sent
to Carolina Environmental and TriTest Laboratories for analyses.
3. McGill Composting disposes of the sludge from the facility's seven drying beds. McGill was cleaning
the drying beds on the day of the inspection.
4. The sand filter is used when TSS levels are high. There are no current problems with solids, and the
sand filter is not in operation.
5. Mr. Lorbacher stated that he calibrates the flow meter used for reporting. Please make sure that a three-
point calibration is performed and documented. It is recommended that the three points be at: zero flow,
high flow and mid -range of the other points.
6. A review of the plant records indicated that all records are being kept as required. A comparison of the
January through March 2007 DMRs indicated no discrepancies.

7. An inspection of the facility's stormwater permit (NCS000150) was also conducted during the site visit.
Stonnwater records were reviewed and found to be satisfactory. The site map needs to be updated to
include stormwater outfall 004. All outfalls should be re -certified. Mr. Frick said this would be
completed once the new permit becomes effective so he can incorporate any additional changes required
by the new permit. All three stormwater outfalls were observed. It is recommended that the right away
to each outfall be maintained so Dynea employees and DWQ staff can easily perform visual monitoring.
8. Mr. Lorbacher and Mr. Frick are keeping the files in a well -organized fashion. Such order eased the file

Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Dynes USA, Inc.
NPDES Permit Number NC0000892
Chatham County
Dear Mr. Langley:
On May 17, 2006 Mr. Christopher Wu of the Raleigh Regional Office conducted a compliance
evaluation inspection of the Dynes USA, Inc. facility with the assistance of Mr. David
Lorbacher, ORC of the facility, and Mr. James Frick, back-up ORC. All help was appreciated as
it facilitated the inspection process.
The following observations were made:
The Dynea WWTP is currently permitted to discharge at a rate of 0.100 MGD and
consists of: an equalization basin, aeration basin, secondary clarifier, sand filter, and
drying beds. The facility's permit also includes stormwater requirements for two
outfalls (002 and 003). A third outfall (outfall 004) is being monitored, but it is not
currently included in the permit. Outfall 004 merely drains an open field and does not
include process. It should, however, be included in the renewed permit.
2. Dynes USA, Inc. has a contract with McGill Composting to pump and compost
sludge collected from its seven drying beds.
3. While Dynea USA, Inc. has its own field certified laboratory it still contracts Carolina
Environmental and TriTest Laboratories to conduct analyses. Dynea staff are only
certified to analyze pH, temperature, and DO.
4. The low -rate sand filter is used when TSS levels are high. Because there are no
current problems with solids, the sand filter is not in operation.
5. An inspection of the facility's stormwater permit (formerly NCS000150) was also
conducted during the site visit. The stormwater files are kept in excellent condition.

Most of the required facets of the plan were easily accessible for review. A
comprehensive SPPP plan was present, as were a SPCC, semi-annual qualitative
monitoring, a list of potential pollutants of concern, and annual stormwater employee
training. The site map, however, needs to be updated to include stormwater outfall
004. Also, the stormwater outfall certification for outfalls 002 and 003 was last
signed on November 1, 1994. Because of the addition of 004, all outfalls should be
recertified.
The analytical monitoring for the stormwater permit is currently being conducted as
specified by the permit (quarterly samples are to be taken for the second year of the
permit cycle so that all data can be submitted prior to the next permit issuance). The
newest permit, however, was effective on May 1, 2004, and Dynea staff are currently
admist their second year quarterly sampling. The required analytical sampling will
not be available till the end of July 2006 at the earliest.
6. Both Mr. Lorbacher and Mr. Frick are keeping all of the files and data in a well
organized fashion. Such order eased the file review process.

The overall conditions of the Dynea WWTP are compliant with Division standards. If you have

Draft NPDES Permit
Permit NC0000892
Dynea WWTP
Chatham County
Alan W. Klimek, P.E., Director
Division of Water Quality
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft permit for your facility. Please review the draft very
carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains.
This draft has the following significant changes from your current permit:
• Stormwater outfall 004 has been added to this permit.
• The Cape Fear River (from the confluence of the Haw and Deep Rivers to Sanford) is listed on the
2006 303(d) list due to chlorophyll a exceedances. DWQ expects to initiate stream studies in 2010
and modeling in 2012 to determine limits for nutrient and oxygen -demanding wastes in these
waters. To prepare for that effort, TN monitoring has been added to this permit, along with
Special Condition A(8) that may require additional nutrient monitoring at a future date. Due
concerns about nutrient -related impacts, Dynea should bg aware that allowable nutrient loads for
any future expansions may be held to historical loading rates.
Please submit any comments to me no later than thirty days following your receipt of the draft.
Comments should be sent to the address listed at the bottom of this page. If no adverse comments are
received from the public or from you, this permit will likely be issued in two months.
If you have any questions or comments concerning this draft permit, please contact me at [phone] x
551 or via email at [e-mail].
