Permit NC0000892
A (3). 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 (4). CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QUARTERLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant
mortality to Ceriodaphnfa dubfa at an effluent concentration of 0.39%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, auarterlu monitoring using test procedures outlined in
the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia 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
February, May, August and November. 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 THP3B for the Chrome 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.

Permit NC0000892
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.
A (S). 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 Boilerplate Part II, Section E (10) of
this permit. The Plan shall include, at a minimum, the following items:
a. 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:
(1) 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.
(2) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities, outdoor
process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and waste disposal
practices.
(3) A site map drawn to scale with the distance legend indicating location of industrial
activities (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas and loading and
unloading areas), drainage structures, drainage areas for each outfall and activities
occurring in the drainage area, building locations, existing BMPs and impervious
surfaces, and the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious. For each outfall, a
narrative description of the potential pollutants which could be expected to be present in
the stormwater discharge.
(4) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred at the facility during
the 3 previous years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts.
(5) 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 Boilerplate Part II, Section B. 11.
b. Stormwater Management Plan. The stormwater management plan shall contain a narrative
description of the materials management practices employed which control or minimize the
exposure of significant materials to stormwater, including structural and nonstructural
measures. The stormwater management plan, at a minimum, shall incorporate the following:
(1) 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

s ,r
Pernvt NC0000892
materials and processes to stormwater. Wherever practical, the permittee 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.
(2) Secondary Containment Schedule. A schedule to provide secondary containment for bulk
storage of liquid materials, storage of Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund
Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority chemicals, or storage of
hazardous substances to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff.
If the secondary containment devices are connected directly to stormwater conveyance
systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually activated valves or other similar
devices [which shall be secured with a locking mechanism] and any stormwater that
accumulates in the containment area shall be at a minimum visually observed for color,
foam, outfall staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the
accumulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be
uncontaminated by the material stored within the containment area. Records
documenting the individual making the observation, the description of the accumulated
stormwater and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a period of five years.
(3) BMP Summary. A narrative description shall be provided of Best Management Practices
(BMPs) to be considered such as, but not limited to, oil and grease separation, debris
control, vegetative filter strips, infiltration and stormwater detention or retention, where
necessary. The need for structural BMPs shall be based on the assessment of potential of
sources to contribute significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and
data collected through monitoring of stormwater discharges.
C. Spill Prevention and Response Plan. The Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP) shall
incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials inventory of the
facility. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the SPRP shall be identified. 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, a SPCC plan may be a
component of the SPRP, but may not be sufficient to completely address the stormwater aspects
of the SPRP. The common elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may be incorporated by
reference into the SPRP.
d. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance
program shall be developed. The program shall document schedules of inspections and
maintenance activities of stormwater control systems, plant equipment and systems. Inspection
of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated
into the program.
e. Employee Training. Training schedules shall be developed and training provided at a minimum
on an annual basis on proper spill response and cleanup procedures and preventative
maintenance activities for all personnel involved in 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.
f. 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.
g. 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

i t, I
Permit NC0000892
discharge of pollutants to surface waters. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall be
reviewed and updated on an annual basis.
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 permittee 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 Boilerplate Part II, Section B.11) to the
Director that the changes have been made.
h. Facility Inspection Program. Facilities are required to inspect all stormwater systems on at least
a semiannual schedule, once in the fall (September -November) and once in the spring (April -
June). The inspection and any subsequent maintenance activities performed shall be
documented, recording date and time of inspection, individual(s) making the inspection and a
narrative description of the facility's stormwater control systems, plant equipment and systems.
Records of these inspections shall be incorporated into the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
Stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring as required in A (6) Stormwater Monitoring
Requirements/Qualitative Monitoring and A (7) ) Stormwater Monitoring
Requirements/Analytical Monitoring for On -Site Vehicle Maintenance of this permit shall be
performed in addition to facility inspections.
Implementation. The permittee shall document all monitoring, measurements, inspections and
maintenance activities and training provided to employees, including the log of the sampling data
and of activities taken to implement BMPs associated with the industrial activities, including
vehicle maintenance activities. Such documentation shall be kept on -site for a period of five
years and made available to the Director or his authorized representative immediately upon
request.
A (6). STORMWATER MONITORING REQUIREMENTS/ Qualitative Monitoring
Qualitative monitoring requires a qualitative inspection of each stormwater outfall, regardless of
representative outfall status, for the purpose of evaluating the effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan and assessing new sources of stormwater pollution. No analytical tests are required.
Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls does not need to be performed during a representative
storm event.

Permit NC0000892
A (3). PROVISIONAL WAIVER OF INSTREAM MONITORING REgUIREMENTS
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 (4). CHRONIC TO%ICITY PERMIT LIMIT (gUARTERLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant
mortality to Ceriodaphnta dubta at an effluent concentration of 0.39%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, auarterlu monitoring using test procedures outlined in
the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia 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
February, May, August and November. 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 ffrst'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 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.

Permit NC0000892
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.
A (5). 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 Boilerplate Part 11, Section E (10) of
this permit. The Plan shall include, at a minimum, the following items:
a. 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:
(1) 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.
(2) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities, outdoor
process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and waste disposal
practices.
(3) A site map drawn to scale with the distance legend indicating location of industrial
activities (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas and loading and
unloading areas), drainage structures, drainage areas for each outfall and activities
occurring in the drainage area, building locations, existing BMPs and impervious
surfaces, and the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious. For each outfall, a
narrative description of the potential pollutants which could be expected to be present in
the stormwater discharge.
(4) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred at the facility during
the 3 previous years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts.
(5) 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 Boilerplate Part 11, Section B. 11.
b. Stormwater Management Plan. The stormwater management plan shall contain a narrative
description of the materials management practices employed which control or minimize the
exposure of significant materials to stormwater, including structural and nonstructural
measures. The stormwater management plan, at a minimum, shall incorporate the following:
(1) 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

Permit NC0000892 - •
materials and processes to stormwater. Wherever practical, the pennittee 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.
(2) Secondary Containment Schedule. A schedule to provide secondary containment for bulk
storage of liquid materials, storage of Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund
Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority chemicals, or storage of
hazardous substances to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff.
If the secondary containment devices are connected directly to stormwater conveyance
systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually activated valves or other similar
devices [which shall be secured with a locking mechanism] and any stormwater that
accumulates in the containment area shall be at a minimum visually observed for color,
foam, outfall staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the
accumulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be
uncontaminated by the material stored within the containment area. Records
documenting the individual making the observation, the description of the accumulated
stormwater and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a period of five years.
(3) BMP Summary. A narrative description shall be provided of Best Management Practices
(BMPs) to be considered such as, but not limited to, oil and grease separation, debris
control, vegetative filter strips, infiltration and stormwater detention or retention, where
necessary. The need for structural BMPs shall be based on the assessment of potential of
sources to contribute significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and
data collected through monitoring of stormwater discharges.
C. Spill Prevention and Response Plan. The Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP) shall
incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials inventory of the
facility. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the SPRP shall be identified. 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, a SPCC plan may be a
component of the SPRP, but may not be sufficient to completely address the stormwater aspects
of the SPRP. The common elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may be incorporated by
reference into the SPRP.
d. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance
program shall be developed. The program shall document schedules of inspections and
maintenance activities of stormwater control systems, plant equipment and systems. Inspection
of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated
into the program.
e. Employee Training. Training schedules shall be developed and training provided at a minimum
on an annual basis on proper spill response and cleanup procedures and preventative
maintenance activities for all personnel involved in 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.
f. 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.
g. 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

Permit NC0000892
discharge of pollutants to surface waters. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall be
reviewed and updated on an annual basis.
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 permittee 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 Boflerplate Part II, Section B.11) to the
Director that the changes have been made.
h. Facility Inspection Program. Facilities are required to inspect all stormwater systems on at least
a semiannual schedule, once in the fall (September -November) and once in the spring (April -
June). The inspection and any subsequent maintenance activities performed shall be
documented, recording date and time of inspection, individual(s) making the inspection and a
narrative description of the facility's stormwater control systems, plant equipment and systems.
Records of these inspections shall be incorporated into the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
Stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring as required in A (6) Stormwater Monitoring
Requirements/Qualitative Monitoring and A (7) ) Stormwater Monitoring
Requirements/Analytical Monitoring for On -Site Vehicle Maintenance of this permit shall be
performed in addition to facility inspections.
Implementation. The permittee shall document all monitoring, measurements, inspections and
maintenance activities and training provided to employees, including the log of the sampling data
and of activities taken to implement BMPs associated with the industrial activities, including
vehicle maintenance activities. Such documentation shall be kept on -site for a period of five
years and made available to the Director or his authorized representative immediately upon
request.
A (6). STORMWATER MONITORING REQUIREMENTS/ Qualitative Monitoring
Qualitative monitoring requires a qualitative inspection of each stormwater outfall, regardless of
representative outfall status, for the purpose of evaluating the effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan and assessing new sources of stormwater pollution. No analytical tests are required.
Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls does not need to be performed during a representative
storm event.

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 time/variable 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
(4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at
a constant time interval. This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary
less than 15 percent. The grab samples shall be taken at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart
during any 24-hour period and must be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters. Use of this method
requires prior approval by the Director.

In accordance with (4) above, influent grab samples shall not be collected more than once per hour.
Effluent grab samples shall not be collected more than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems
having a detention time of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at
intervals evenly spaced over the 24hour period that are equal in number of hours to the detention time of the
system in number of days. However, the interval between effluent grab samples may not exceed six hours nor
the number of samples less than four during a 24-hour sampling period.
Continuous flow measurement
Flow monitoring that occurs without intermption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be
monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance
activities on the flow device.
Daily Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as
the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. The "daily discharge" concentration comprises the mean
concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the arithmetic mean of all
grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 1222)
Daily Maximum
The highest "daily discharge" for conventional and other non -toxicant parameters. NOTE: Peruttees may not
submit a "daily average" calculation [for determining compliance with permit limits] for toxicants. See the relevant
Federal effluent guidehne[s] for the appropriate calculation interval.
Daily Sampling
Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the
permit. The Division expects that sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other
disruptions of normal operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week
for any permit parameter(s), that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s).
DWO or "the Division"
The Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
EMC
The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
Facility Closure
The cessation of wastewater treatment at a permitted facility, or the cessation of all activities that require coverage
under the NPDES. Completion of facility closure will allow this permit to be rescinded.
Geometric Mean
The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of
calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection level]' shall be considered = 1.
Grab Sample
Individual samples of at least 100 ml collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be
collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream
samples).
Hazardous Substance
Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act
Instantaneous flow measurement
A measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total
discharge.

State environmental officials investigate spill at chemical company in Moncure
RALEIGH —State officials say most of a formaldehyde and phenol solution that spilled at a facility in Moncure Tuesday
appears to have been contained at the site.
Arclin, a company which makes resin that's used to make particle board, reported to state officials that a vessel
containing formaldehyde and phenol overheated and blew off about 113,000 pounds of vapor at its Moncure facility
early Tuesday. The vapor condensed and fell to the ground as liquid.
It appears almost all of the formaldehyde and phenol was contained on the site, but a small amount discharged to a
stormwater outfall running to the Haw River. However, shortly after the spill was detected, the stormwater outfalls
were shut and much of product that made its way into the stormwater drain was recovered and the drains were flushed
to storage tanks at the facility. Results of water quality testing at the discharge point, in the Haw River and at the outfall
are expected Thursday.
The Division of Water Resources has notified all downstream public water systems. All of the downstream municipalities
with intakes on the Haw River have reported their water is safe for drinking using normal treatment processes.

Arclin, which makes resin and overlay, has reported a spill of a formaldehyde solution at its facility in Moncure. The
incident was reported about 3 a.m. Staff in Emergency Management have notified DEQ staff (DAQ, DWM and DWR) and
public water supply staff are responding. About 13,000 pounds of formaldehyde/phenol is unaccounted for and may be
contained on site but the Haw River sits nearby and the EPA is on -scene with plant officials now to determine if the
mixture might have made its way into the Haw River, which supplies a number of downstream communities with water.
Staff in DWR are working now to determine next steps and notify downstream water users, if necessary. The nearest
public water supply intake on the Haw River is Sanford's intake about five miles away. The others are Lillington and
Dunn.
Steve Lewis with DWR is getting updates from Ken Rhame with EPA and we'll keep folks apprised.

Just a quick update on this release.... It appears to be effectively contained, and only a small amount of product had
made it to surface waters before it was contained. Clean-up operations have removed the product that was remaining
on the ground and in the storm drains. The storm drains have been blocked and isolated in order to contain any run-off
that may be generated during the anticipated precipitation event. All run off into the storm drains will be pumped into
frac tanks on -site for proper disposal. The preliminary lab results (they have not been approved for release by the lab
yet) indicate negligible impact on water quality in the river. DWR staff will continue to monitor clean-up operations.

Hey Sarah,
November 17`h

• 1 was notified by Steve Lewis of spill and EPA (Ken Rhame) around — 7:30 a.m. of a formaldehyde spill at Arcline
USA, Inc, Chatham County.
• RRO notified public water supply of the spill due to the receiving waters begin Class Water Supply IV
waters. (The City of Sanford's intake is at Hwy 42 approximately 4-6 miles downstream (my estimation). We
also notified Air Quality and DWM Hazardous Waste Sections of the spill.
• Public Water Supply Section notified the City of Sanford.
• EPA also called me and I explained the location of the spill (Corinth Road, Chatham County, adjacent to the Haw
River - Downstream from Jordan lake and upstream from the confluence with the Deep River).
• Autumn Romanski of RRO DWR responded and meet with EPA on site. She collected samples and photographs
of the spill (stormwater inlet and the discharge location etc.). Autumn and EPA contractor also sampled from
the Haw River with the assistance of the Moncure Fire Department.
November 18`n
• All stormwater outfalls have been shut, the stormwater drains have been flushed and the product recovered.
• All free liquid product outside of the secondary containment has been recovered and sent to the primary
storage tank.
• Arcline is planning to bring on site two (2) twenty thousand gallon frac tanks. This will enable them to store
product located in the secondary containment, due to pending rain fall event.
• Stormwater gates will remain closed. Water will be sampled and Arcline will contact RRO for approval to release
stormwater from these outfalls.
• We are following up today with additional sampling, along with EPA, to ensure that cleanup and product
recovery proceeds, as appropriate.
• Reaction vessel release of 127,000 Ibs of formaldelhyde. Approximately, 114,0000 Ibs was contained in
Secondary containment. A discharge of from outfall 003 occure; however, it appears that majority of the
remaining 13,000 Ibs of product appears to have remained on site. Arcline is actively trying to develop an
estimate of the amount of product that may have reached surface waters.

Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Arclin US, LLC Wastewater Treatment Plant
NPDES Permit No. NC000892
Chatham County
Dear Mr. Reddy:
Donald R. van der Vaart
Secretary
On November 3, 2015, Jason Robinson of the Raleigh Regional Office (RRO) conducted a compliance
evaluation inspection of the subject facility. The assistance provided by Mr. Harvey Bowman, the
HSE Coordinator, Mr. David Lorbacher, the ORC, and Mr. Chris Lamm, the bORC, was greatly
appreciated as it facilitated the inspection process. The inspection report is attached. The following
observations were made:
The Arclin USA, LLC Wastewater Treatment Plant is a class 2 wastewater facility (W W-2)
permitted to discharge at a rate of 0.100 MGD and consists of: influent pump station; an aerated
1.7 MG concrete lined equalization basin with three 20 hp 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
20 hp surface aerators; 1 12-foot diameter, 8-foot deep clarifier with return activated sludge (RAS)
and waste activated sludge (WAS) capabilities; two cylindrical high rate sand filters with back
wash capability; 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.
1. The current permit became effective on July 31, 2013, and is effective until July 31, 2016. A
permit renewal reouest must be submitted pri
or to 180 days of the expiration of your current
permit When applying for a permit renewal the description of the units should be revised to
accurately reflect all the units in the wastewater system.
2. The facility is field certified for pH, temperature and dissolved oxygen. pH buffers were
within expiration inspection dates. Sample storages were set at just less than 6 degrees Celsius.
3. The ORC maintains a daily logbook. Lab results, chain -of -custody forms, and DNIRs were
complete and current, kept in good order and ready for review. May and July 2015 DMR data
were compared to lab bench sheets; no data transcription errors were noted. Pace Analytical,
Cameron Testing Services and Environment One labs are used.
4. All aerators were in use were in use in both the equalization basin and ASB. Weirs in the
clarifier appeared level and clean. The sludge blanket level is approximately half of the depth

` oiihe clarifier. Sand filte.a me only used if total suspended solids are high. RAS from the
-- 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. A roof over
one of the beds had been repaired, as requested in the previous inspection report. Sludge is
removed by McGill Environmental Services.
5. The right of way to the outfall was well maintained. Effluent was clear and free from foam. No
visible impacts were noted immediately downstream of the effluent pipe.
If you have any questions regarding the attached reports or any of the findings, please contact Jason
Robinson at: [phone] (or email: Jason.t.robinson(a)ncdem.gov).

Dear Mr. Crawford:
Donald van der Vaart
Secretary
This is to inform you that a review of your toxicity self -monitoring report for the month of February 2015 indicates a violation of the toxicity
limitation specified in your NPDES Permit.
You should take whatever remedial actions are necessary to eliminate the conditions causing the effluent toxicity violation(s). Your efforts may
include conducting a Toxicity Reduction Evaluation (7RE), a site -specific study designed to identify the causative agents of effluent toxicity, isolate
the sources of toxicity, evaluate the effectiveness of toxicity control options, and confirm reductions in effluent toxicity. Please be aware that North
Carolina General Statutes provide for assessment of civil penalties for violations of NPDES permit limitations and requirements.
The reverse side of this Notice contains important information concerning your Whole Effluent Toxicity Monitoring and Reporting Requirements.
Please note appropriate mailing addresses for submitting your Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRr) and Aquatic Toxicity (A7) Test Forms. We
encourage you to review this information; if it would be helpful to discuss this situation or possible solutions to resolve effluent toxicity
noncompliance, please contact me at (919 743-8442 or Mr. John Giorgino with this office at (919) 743- 8441.

WHOLE EFFLUENT TOXICITY MONITORING AND REPORTING INFORMATION
➢ The following items are provided in an effort to assist you with identifying critical and sometimes overlooked toxicity testing and reporting
information. Please take time to review this information. The items below do not address or include all the toxicity testing and reporting
requirements contained in Your NPDES permit. If you should have any questions about your toxicity testing requirement, please contact Mr.
John Giorgino with the Aquatic Toxicology Branch at [phone] or another Branch representative at the same number.
➢ The permittee is responsible for ensuring that toxicity testing is conducted according to the permit requirement and that toxicity report forms are
appropriately filed.
➢ The reporting of whole effluent toxicity testing data is a dual refit uirement. All toxicity test results must be entered (with the appropriate
parameter code) on your monthly Discharge Monitoring Report which is submitted to:
North Carolina Division of Water Resources
Central Files
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1617
IN ADDITION
Toxicity test data (original "AT" form) must be submitted to the following address:
North Carolina Division of Water Resources
Water Sciences Section
1623 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
➢ Toxicity test results shall be filed with the Water Sciences Section no later than 30 days after the end of the reoortine period (eg, January
test result is due by the end of February).
➢ Toxicity test condition language contained in your NPDES permit may require use of multiple concentration toxicity testing upon failure of any
single quarterly toxicity test. If the initial pass/fail test fails or if the chronic value is lower than the permit limit, then at least two multiple
concentration toxicity tests (one per month) will be conducted over the following two months. As many analyses as can be completed will be
accepted. If your NPDES permit does not require use of multiple concentration toxicity testing upon failure of any single quarterly test, you
may choose to conduct either single concentration toxicity testing or multiple concentration toxicity testing per the Division's WET enforcement
initiatives effective July 1, 1999. Follow-up multiple concentration toxicity testing will influence the Division's enforcement response.
➢ Toxicity testing months are specified by the NPDES Permit, except for NPDES Permits which contain episodic toxicity monitoring
requirements (eg, if the testing months specified in your NPDES permit are March, June, September, and December, then toxicity testing must
be conducted during these months).
➢ If your NPDES Permit specifies episodic monitoring and your facility does not have a discharge from January 1-June 30, then you must provide
written notification to the Water Sciences Section by June 30 that a discharge did not occur during the first six months of the calendar year.
➢ If you receive notification from your contract laboratory that a test was invalidated, you should immediately notify the Water Sciences Section
at [phone] and provide written documentation indicating why the test was invalidated and the date when follow-up testing will occur.
➢ If your facility is required to conduct toxicity testing during a month in which no discharge occurs, you should complete the information block
located at the top of the AT form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county and the month/year of the subject report.
You should also write "No Flow" on the AT forth, sign the form and submit following normal procedures.
➢ The Aquatic Toxicity Test forms shall be signed by the facility's Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) except for facilities which have not
received facility classification. In these cases, a duly authorized facility representative must sign the AT form. The AT form must also be
signed by the performing lab supervisor.
➢ To determine if your AT test forms were received on time by the Division of Water Resources, you may consider submitting Your toxicity test
results certified mail return receipt requested to the Water Sciences Section.

Comment: The facility was not using ferric chloride the day of this inspection. Oranae color was
reported in past inspections in various steps of treatment (historic use of Ferric Chloride)
The color is easily removed by anthracite sand filters but since the sand filters are only
used when needed for elevated TSS some color has been observed (2013 inspection) at
the effluent pipe during use of ferric chloride
The facility has switched to a polymer - Ferric treatment is known for better organics
removal, please review results of organics removal as the indicator of optimum treatment
as the color is easily removed by use of the sand filters and also by the routine

Dear Mr. Lorbacher:
Mitch Hayes of the Raleigh Regional Office conducted the subjected inspection on October 28, 2013. Yours
and Christopher Lamm's assistance with the inspection was appreciated. Below is a list of findings and
recommendations developed from the inspection:
1. The Arcline facility is listed as a class 2 wastewater facility (WW-2). Basinwide Information Management
Systems (BIMS) list Christopher Lamm as the grade 2 WW Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) and
David W Lorbacher as the back-up ORC, grade 2 WW.
2. The subject permit was reissued June 10, 2013 and became effective July 01, 2013. The following
changes were made to the permit: monitoring for fecal coliform was added; monitoring for chromium,
copper, cyanide, lead, and zinc was removed; new limits for BOD and TSS were applied; new limits for
effluent characteristic in A. (2) were applied based on process wastewater flow; annual monitoring for
salinity, total dissolved solids, total arsenic, total chloride, and total iron has been added.
3. The wastewater treatment facility consists of the following units: influent pump station; an aerated 1.7
MG concrete lined equalization basin with three 20 hp surface aerators; continuous pH monitoring and
caustic feed for needed adjustment; phosphoric acid feed for mixed liquor nutritional needs; defoamer
feed; 1.6 MG concrete lined aerated storage basin (ASB) with three 20 hp surface aerators; a 12-foot
diameter, 8-foot deep clarifier with return activated sludge (RAS) and waste activated sludge (WAS)
capabilities; two cylindrical high rate sand filters with back wash capability; effluent trough with a V-
notch 90 degree weir; ultra sonic flow meter; feed for 2 polymers and 8 covered sludge drying beds. An
older primary clarifier is used as an emergency collection / storage unit.
4. At the time of inspection, the influent appeared orange in color due to ferric chloride being used as a
flocculent. All floating aerators are manually operated and all were in use. Retention time between the
two basins is approximately 12 hours. The mixed liquor is conveyed to the secondary clarifier. All weirs
in the secondary clarifier appeared level with effluent, light orange in color, flowing off the weirs.
Secondary effluent flows into an effluent trough where it is measured by the ultrasonic flow meter. Sand
filters are used only if total suspended solids are high. RAS from the clarifier is recycled to either the
EQ or ASB. WAS is conveyed to the sludge drying beds. Four out of eight drying beds were in use.
Dried sludge is held until there is sufficient volume to haul. Sludge is hauled by and taken to McGill

Composting in Moncure, NC for further processing. Some of the roof covering the sludge drying beds
had been damage during past storms. This damage should be repaired to expedite the drying of
sludge. Effluent flowing in the Haw River appeared orange in color with foam dissipating within 15 feet.
5. The facility is field certified for pH, temperature, and dissolved oxygen. All pH buffers are within

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional) sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
The subject permit was reissued June 10, 2013 and became effective July 01, 2013. The following changes
were made to the permit: monitoring for fecal coliform was added; monitoring for chromium, copper,
cyanide, lead, and zinc was removed; new limits for BOD and TSS were applied; new limits for effluent
characteristic in A. (2) were applied based on process wastewater flow; annual monitoring for salinity, total
dissolved solids, total arsenic, total chloride, and total iron has been added.
The wastewater treatment facility consists of the following units: influent pump station; an aerated 1.7 MG
concrete lined equalization basin with three 20 hp surface aerators; continuous pH monitoring and caustic
feed for needed adjustment; phosphoric acid feed for mixed liquor nutritional needs; defoamer feed; 1.6 MG
concrete lined aerated storage basin (ASB) with three 20 hp surface aerators; a 12-foot diameter, 8-foot
deep clarifier with return activated sludge (RAS) and waste activated sludge (RAS) capabilities; two
cylindrical high rate sand filters with back wash capability; effluent trough with a V-notch 90 degree weir;
ultra sonic flow meter; feed for 2 polymers and 8 covered sludge drying beds. An older primary clarifier is
used as an emergency collection / storage unit.
At the time of inspection, the influent appeared orange in color due to ferric chloride being used as a
flocculent. All floating aerators are manually operated and all were in use. Retention time between the two
basins is approximately 12 hours. The mixed liquor is conveyed to the secondary clarifier. All weirs in the
secondary clarifier appeared level with effluent, light orange in color, flowing off the weirs. Secondary
effluent flows into an effluent trough where it is measured by the ultrasonic flow meter. Sand filters are used
only if total suspended solids are high. RAS from the clarifier is recycled to either the EQ or ASB. WAS is
conveyed to the sludge drying beds. Four out of eight drying beds were in use. Dried sludge is held until
there is sufficient volume to haul. Sludge is hauled by and taken to McGill Composting in Moncure, NC for
further processing. Some of the roof covering the sludge drying beds had been damage during past storms.
This damage should be repaired to expedite the drying of sludge. Effluent flowing in the Haw River
appeared orange in color with foam dissipating within 15 feet.
The facility is field certified for pH, temperature, and dissolved oxygen. All pH buffers are within expiration
date. Temperature on the Orion Star A111 meter is checked against an NIST thermometer annually. The
effluent flow meter was last calibrated December 11, 2012. All calibration logs are maintained. The effluent
flow sampler temperature was 4 degrees C.
Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMR's) for the period October 2012 through September 2013 were
reviewed for compliance with permit limit and monitoring requirements. No discrepancies or violations were
noted.
Commercial lab results, chain of custody records, and bench sheets were compared with data submitted on
the DMR for August 2013. No discrepancies were noted. Cameron Testing Services, Inc. analyzes all
parameters except field parameters and toxicity. Pace Analytical analyzes toxicity.

On December 11, 2012, Thomas Ascenzo of the Raleigh Regional Office (RRO) conducted a
compliance inspection (CEI) of Arclin USA Inc. wastewater treatment plant. The assistance of
Jon Overby Health and Safety Coordinator and David Lorbacher, operator in charge (ORC)
was appreciated as it facilitated the inspection process.
The following observations were made:
1. The Arclin USA Incorporated is authorized to discharge wastewater and stormwater
from the facility located at 790 Corinth Road, Moncure in Chatham County. The facility
discharges into the Haw River, classified WS-IV, waters in the Cape Fear River Basin.
The permit expired on July 31, 2011 is currently in the renewal process.
2. The Arclin USA, Inc. WWTP is permitted to discharge at a rate of 0.100 MGD and
consists of an aerated equalization basin, aeration basin with activated sludge, clarifier,
sand filters, effluent trough with flow meter, and sludge drying beds.
3. The facility has a field lab certification for temperature, dissolved oxygen, and pH. All
other parameters are analyzed by a contract lab.
4. A review of the discharge monitoring report (DMR) for July 2012 was checked with
bench sheet and found to be accurate with no discrepancies noted.
5. All plant components were inspected and found to be operational.
6. Effluent sampler refrigerator temperature was at 3 degrees Celsius within permit
guidelines.

Form 2C Supplemental Information
January 2011
Form 2C -11. B.
Waste water is collected onsite through a sewerage system and then pumped into an
aerated, one million gallon, concrete lined equalization basin (EQ). This basin has three
20 hp surface aerators. This is followed by a concrete lined aerated stabilization basin
(ASB) which has three 20 hp surface aerators. The mixed iquor is en isc arge into a
12-ft diameter, 8-ft. deep clarifier. Clarified effluent may be discharged into a sand filter
if needed. The sand filter is back washed into the ASB. Filtered effluent is monitored
and discharged into the Haw River.
Return activated sludge (RAS) is recycled to either the EQ or ASB. Waste activated
sludge (WAS) is discharged into covered sludge drying beds where a polymer is applied
to aid in drying. The dried sludge is picked up by a contractor for composting at their
facility.
An older primary clarifier is used as an emergency collection/storage system. Any
wastewater collected and stored there is then tested and metered into the WWTP.
Form 2C - III. C. Production Notes
Mass based discharge limits are calculated for most of the parameters for the subparts of
thermo-set resins and organic chemicals under the Categorical Limits for Organic
Chemicals, Plastics, and Synthetic Fibers (40CFR414). The mass based limits are
derived based upon the NPDES effluent discharge rate which for Arclin appears to
correlate with production volume.
Attached is Graph I which shows the resin and formaldehyde annual production versus
average daily NPDES discharge for the years 2005 through 2010. This graph shows a
fairly good correlation and has been extended out to the estimated production at the end
of the NPDES permit in 2015.
The average daily discharge in 2015 is estimated to be approximately 0.085 MGD. This
flow can vary greatly from month to month due to production volume and the effect of
evaporation and rainfall due to the size of Arclin's aeration basins. As such, we
performed a statistical evaluation of monthly average discharge data for December 2009
through November 2010 to estimate future variations in discharge flowrates. The flow
data are from the month DMRs and the statistical summary data is presented in Table 1
below.

The monthly average daily discharge for this period was 0.047 MGD with a maximum of
0.112 MGD. To include the range of flowrates which could be expected, the average
with a six sigma deviation was calculated and determined to be 0.138 MGD. This is the
range of flowrates statistically expected for the current average of 0.047 MGD. This
range is above the current permit limit of 0.1 MGD.
Next the six sigma deviation was calculated as a percent of the current average flow of
0.047 MGD and determined to be 195% of that flow. This percent increase was then
applied to the future monthly average flow of 0.085 MGD which resulted in a future six
sigma deviation of 0.249 MGD. This is the upper range of flows which would be
expected with the estimated future increases in production through 2015.
As such, we request that our monthly average daily discharge limit be increased to at
least 0.249 MGD to encompass the range of flows we anticipate during the five year life
of this permit.

Form 2C - V All Parts
Data for this section came from the most recent twelve months of monthly discharge
reports submitted to the State (December 2009 through November 2010). Due to the
depressed construction market our production during the last several years has been
below normal. As such, all these values are below normal. As construction increases and
our production increases these values will increase more to the levels we have reported in
previous permit applications and beyond.
Form 2C - V Part B
l.c. Color— While it is anticipated to be present on occasion it is anticipated to be very
faint amber at most.
Li. Phosphorus — Testing is only performed quarterly therefore only maximum daily and
long term averages are included.
l.o. Aluminum — Aluminum sulfate solution is used as a flocculant. Testing has not been
performed for aluminum in the discharge.
Form 2C - V Data for Outfalls 002, 003 and 004
Outfalls 002, 003 and 004 are stormwater outfalls. We conduct semi-annual qualitative
analysis and prepare reports documenting the inspection, housekeeping of the outfalls,
and qualitative monitoring.

RE: Notice of Violation and Recommendation for Enforcement
Case NUmbefNOV-2012-LV-0251
Arclin USA, LLC
NPDES Permit Number NC0000892
Dear Mr. Smith:
This submittal is in response to the above -reference Notice of Violation (NOV), issued to the Arlin USA, LLC
facility in Moncure, North Carolina. This NOV was issued for exceeding allowable BOG discharge limits. Arclin
submitted a letter detailing our investigation as to the cause of the exceedance at the time our Discharge
Monitoring Report was submitted, but it is unclear to us if it was received by your office. After investigation,
Arclin believes the exceedance is the result of laboratory error, and requests that the Division of Water Quality
take no additional enforcement action against Arclin, alto further, requests the NOV be withdrawn.
Laboratory testing of Arclin's effluent on February 15, 2012 indicated that Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD)
was 192 mg/I. This BOD concentration resulted in an exceedance of the facility wastewater discharge permit's
maximum daily BOD limit of 63 pounds/dey. This result is approxirnately a full order of magnitude higher than
normal ROD concentrations at the facility. Our investigation indicated that there were no unusual activities at
the plant during this time period. the sample appeared normal at the time of collection, and other weekly BOD
samples during the month were consistent, and in a normal range; 1.6 mg/I, 7 4 mg/I, 12 4 mg/I, and 2.9 mg/I.
In addition, other parameters measured on February 15 2012 were all within normai ranges. Therefore. Arclin
believes this is a laboratory error. It should also be rioted that there have been no violations or unusually high
BOD results from any samples taken at the facility since the time of the permit exceedance in February.
Arclin contacted TriTest. our contract analytical laboratory, and they have not been able to find anv er ors in
their calculations. Because allowable hold times would be exceeded, the sample could not be re -run
It is Arclin's intention to fully comply with all federal, state and local regulations and permit conditions. We take
all non-compliance situations very seriously. Whenever a non-compliance situation occurs, it is our policy to

take immediate actions to investigate and take appropriate corrective actions. However, in this instance, our
review strongly indicates there was a laboratory error.
We would be happy to meet with you or your staff to discuss this issue in more detail. If you have questions

Dear Mr. Barton:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
On December 14, 2011, Thomas Ascenzo and Mack Wiggins of the Raleigh Regional Office (RRO) conducted a
compliance inspection (CEI) of Arclin USA Inc. wastewater treatment plant. The assistance of Art Shermbeck
Health and Safety Coordinator and David Lorbacher, operator in charge (ORC) was appreciated as it facilitated
the inspection process.
The following observations were made:
1. The Arclin USA Inc, is authorized to discharge wastewater and stormwater from the facility located at 790
Corinth Road, Moncure in Chatham County. The facility discharges into the Haw River, classified WS-IV,
waters in the Cape Fear River Basin. The permit expired on July 31, 2011 is currently in the renewal
process.
2. The Arclin USA, Inc. WWTP is permitted to discharge at a rate of 0.100 MGD and consists of an aerated
equalization basin, aeration basin with activated sludge, clarifier, sand filters, effluent trough with flow
meter, and sludge drying beds.
3. The facility has a field lab certification for temperature, dissolved oxygen, and pH. All other parameters
are analyzed by a contract lab.
4. A review of the discharge monitoring report (DMR) for May 2011 was checked with bench sheet and
found to be accurate with no discrepancies noted.
5. All plant components were inspected and found to be operational.
6. Effluent sampler refrigerator temperature was at 5 degrees Celsius within permit guidelines.
7. ORC Logs were available and well maintained.
8. The plant effluent was clear of visible solids. The receiving stream looked healthy and the right of way
(ROW) to the outfall was well maintained.

Dear Ms. Webb:
This submittal is to inform you of our plans to correct two findings you noted during the
November 2, 2010 compliance evaluation inspection.
All 55-gallon drums that were outside of the clarifier room and in front of our tank farm have
been moved to our drying bed area. This area provides secondary containment for all drums.
The pump at our influent pump station was replaced on November 30. We controlled the process
water for the pump station by inserting a temporary sump pump to direct the water flow to the
ponds. Our secondary option was the overflow system set up in the pump station. The overflow
system was not used at any time.
If you have questions concerning this submittal, please feel free to contact Art Schermbeck at
[phone] extension 3003.

Clyde Barton

Dear Mr. Barton:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
On November 2, 2010, Tom Ascenzo and Vick Webb of the Raleigh Regional Office conducted a
compliance evaluation inspection of the Arclin USA, Inc's wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and
stormwater program. The assistance of Mr. David Lorbacher, operator in responsible charge (ORC) of
the facility, and Art Schermbeck, health, safety, and environmental (HSE) coordinator, was appreciated
as it facilitated the inspection process.
The following observations were made:
NC0000892
1. The Arclin USA, Inc. is authorized to discharge wastewater and stormwater from the facility
located at 790 Corinth Road, Moncure in Chatham County. The facility discharges into the
receiving waters designated as the Haw River, classified WS-IV, waters in the Cape Fear River
Basin. The permit expires July 31, 2011.
2. The Arclin USA, Inc. W WTP is permitted to discharge at a rate of 0.100 MGD and consist of a:
aerated equalization basin, aeration basin with activated sludge, clarifier, sand filters, effluent
trough with flow meter, and sludge drying beds.
3. This permit discharges wastewater through outfall 001 and stormwater through outfalls 002, 003,
and 004.
4.
The facility has field tab certification for temperature, dissolved oxygen and pH. All other
parameters are analyzed by a contract lab.

5. A review of the plant records indicated that all records are being kept as required. A comparison
of the September 2009 DMR indicated no discrepancies.
6. It was observed during the inspection that the facility has several 55-gallon drums in two main
locations (by the wastewater plant and by the tank farm). It is required under A (5) Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SP3) b. (2) of your permit that you provide secondary containment for
bulk storage of liquid materials. This was discussed in detail with Mr. Lorbacher and Mr.
Schermbeck during the inspection. Please explain in writing within 30 days from receipt of
this letter how this facility will provide secondary containment for the 55-gal drums.
7. During the inspection of the influent pump station, Mr. Lorbacher stated that the pump went out
on Friday (10/29/10) and that they had one on the way to be installed. Please explain in writing
the progress of this pump being replaced. If this pump has not been replaced by receipt of
this letter, then explain how the facility will control the process water for the pump station.
8. The plant effluent was free and clear of solids. The receiving stream looked healthy and showed
no adverse conditions and the right-of-way (ROW) to the outfalls was well maintained.
NCS000150
9. File review showed that this facility still had an active stormwater permit. After detailed
discussion among the stormwater permitting unit, the permit (NCS000150) was rescinded. This
permit is no longer valid. Stormwater is cover under the NC0000892 permit
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
Vicki Webb at [phone] (or email: vicki.webb(@ncdenr.gov).
Sincerely,
Vick Webb

Missing Sample Analysis
Dear Mr. Smith:
This submittal is to inform you of a missing sample analysis on Arclin's October, 2009 NPDES
Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR).
As required by the facility's above -referenced NPDES permit, samples were collected and sent to Central
Carolina Laboratories on October 21, 2009 to satisfy weekly monitoring requirements. The chain of
custody (copy enclosed) between Arclin and Central Carolina Laboratories reflect that all samples were
received by the laboratory. On October 26d' Arclin was informed that Central Carolina Laboratories were
going out of business. All samples still in house were to be forwarded by Central Carolina Laboratories
to Tritest for analysis. The chain of custody (copy enclosed) reflects that one of the samples, for NH3 as
N analysis, was sent by Central Carolina Laboratories but not received by Tritest. Both labs have been
contacted regarding this issue, but the sample was never recovered. All other samples collected on that
day were analyzed and results included on the October DMR.
If you have questions concerning this issue, or need additional information, please contact David
Lorbacher at [phone], extension 3054, or Brad Crawford, at extension 3075.

Dear Mr. Crawford:

SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Arcline USA Inc.
NPDES Permit NC0000892
Chatham County
Dee Freeman
Secretary
On August 28, 2009, Mitch Hayes of the Raleigh Regional Office conducted a compliance
evaluation inspection of the subject facility. The assistance of you and David Lorbacher with this
inspection was greatly appreciated. Below is a list of findings developed from the inspection:
1. The subject permit was modified for a name change and was reissued and became effective
December 07, 2007. The permit will expire July 31, 2011. Request for permit renewal must
be made 180 days prior to expiration.
2. The Basinwide Information Management System (BIMS) lists David Lorbacher as the
Operator in Charge (ORC) Grade W W-2 and back up ORC's as Thomas Dixon, Grade-3 and
Christopher Lamm, Grade-2. Please contact Steve Reid at 919.733.0026, extension 314 if
there are any corrections to be made.
3. The Class II, 0.1 MGD wastewater treatment facility consists of the following units: one
influent pump station; 1.7 MG equalization basin with pH monitoring and caustic feed for
needed adjustment, phosphoric acid feed for mixed liquor nutritional needs, defoamer feed;
1.6 MG aerated basin; a 12-foot diameter, 8-foot deep clarifier; two sand filters; feed for 2
polymers; effluent trough with a V-notch 90 degree weir; ultra sonic flow meter, and 8 sludge
drying beds.
4. Process wastewater from the thermosetting resins manufacturing is 95% of the discharge
flow and wastewater from sanitary sewage is 5% of the discharge flow. Influent appeared
orange in color. All floating aerators were operating normally. Each aerator is manually
operated. Retention time between the two basins is approximately 12 hours. Primary effluent
is conveyed to the clarifier. Effluent flowing off the weirs appeared clear with no solids.
Secondary effluent flows into an effluent trough where it is measured by the ultrasonic flow
meter. Flocculent (Aluminum Sulfate) is added for further clarification. Sand filters are used
only if total suspended solids are high. Sludge from the clarifier and waste activated sludge
are conveyed to the sludge drying beds. Five out of eight drying beds were in use at the time
of inspection. Sludge is held until there is sufficient volume to haul. Sludge is hauled by and

5. The facility is field certified for pH, temperature, and dissolved oxygen. Discharge Monitoring
Reports (DMR's) for the period April 2008 through May 2009 were reviewed for compliance
with permit limit and monitoring requirements. No discrepancies or violations were noted.
6. Commercial lab results, chain of custody records, and bench sheets were compared with
data submitted on the DMR for May 2009. No discrepancies were noted. Carolina
Environmental and Tritest analyzes all permit parameters.
The ORC logbook was available and being maintained. The effluent flow meter is calibrated
annually and checked every Wednesday against a staff gage. The effluent sampler
temperature was 4 degrees Celsius. The thermometer was last calibrated 12/31/2009.

8. Stormwater monitoring is part of permit NC0000892 requirements. A copy of the Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan was available for inspection. All elements of the stormwater
pollution prevention plan were being implemented. There were no spills during 2008 and up
to the day of inspection. Facility site inspection was completed 04/15/2009. Employee
training on spill response, cleanup procedures and preventative maintenance occurred
04/03/2009. Stormwater outfalls were certified for the presence of non-stormwater discharges
on 10/17/2009.
9. Analytical and qualitative monitoring was last completed on 06/16/2009. There is no vehicle
maintenance performed on site. The last two-year results were below benchmark values.
Qualitative monitoring is done according to schedule.
10. Gate valves control Stormwater discharges at outfalls 2, 3, and 4. All gate valves were open
at the time of inspection. There were no discharges at outfalls 2, 3, and 4.
11. A guidance for rating stormwater discharge clarity has been developed to help with filling out
qualitative monitoring forms. The guidance document can be found at the web page
