She had the permit file, and she had discussed the lagoons with the law firm handling the facility. Reading their letter more closely, the attorneys asked for a "suspension" of the permit and its monitoring requirements. I can provide that, along with what options are available to the current [or future] owners. .,O: x The current situation is: NC0000094 will expire on 11/30/2015. y To date, we have received no request to renew the permit. If no renewal request is received by 11/30/2015, the permit will automatically become Inactive on 12/1/2015 [per 40 CFR 122.41 (b)]. Y The outfall line has been sealed; the existing wastewater discharge has ceased, permanently. v Domestic waste from the facility bathrooms is disposed of via sanitary sewer. If permit renewal is requested, we could renew it simply to give the permittee the option of discharge in the future. We've done this many times in the past. We could make characterization of the lagoon sludge and/or lagoon water a requirement for the renewal. If NC0000094 becomes Inactive, a new owner could request a new NPDES permit for the facility. They would have to prepare an EAA [guidance attached]. Due to existing conditions at the site, the EAA must include char#eterization of any solids remaining in the lagoons, as well as analyses of the lagoon water. I'm going to write the attorneys a letter explaining this, as much for our files as theirs. They can also provide my letter to any purchaser of the facility. After that, I'll wait. If I don't get an application by 11/30/2015, the permit will be made Inactive on 12/1/2015.

We apologize for the length of time in handling your request, but the unique circumstances at the facility required extensive discussion. We appreciate your patience. This letter also serves to notify you of the options for the facility and its existing permit. After considering the recommendations of the staff in the Asheville Regional Office, I have agreed to waive the requirement to submit monthly DMRs for the subject facility, effective October 1, 2015. The DMRs up through (and including) September 2015 should be submitted as usual Be advised that if any wastewater discharge occurs, the discharge must be monitored as per the terms of the NPDES permit and other applicable rules or statutes. Please keep the Asheville Regional Office apprised of any pertinent developments that arise regarding this facility, especially if the discharge is re -activated. While requirements for operator visitation, monitoring and reporting are being waived, you are still required to pay the Annual Administering and Compliance Monitoring Fee that is associated with this and all NPDES permits. Currently: ➢ The facility's outfall line has been sealed; the permitted wastewater discharge has ceased. ➢ Domestic waste from the facility bathrooms is disposed of via sanitary sewer. A decision must be made promptly regarding renewal of NC0000094: ➢ NC0000094 will expire on 11/30/2015. ➢ To date, the Division has received no request to renew the permit. If no renewal request is received by 11/30/2015, the permit will automatically become Inactive on 12/1/2015 [per 40 CFR 122.41 (b)]. Any wastewater discharge after 11/30/2015 would be illegal, if permit renewal were not requested. 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 512 North Salisbury Street, Raleigh, North Carolina 27604 Phone: 919 807-6300 / FAX 919 807-6489 / Internet: www.ncwater.org An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer — 501/6 Recycled/101/o Post Consumer Paper NC0000094 DMR Submittal Waiver October 2015 If permit renewal is requested, the Division may renew it to give the permittee the option of discharge in the future. We have done this several times for industrial, private, and municipal permittees. Alternatively, if NC0000094 becomes Inactive, the facility could request a new NPDES permit at a later date. A new NPDES permit application must include an Engineering Alternatives Analysis (EAA) [guidance attached]. Due to existing conditions at the site, the EAA must include characterization of any solids remaining in the lagoons, as well as analyses of the lagoon water.

Julie From: Grzyb, Julie Sent: Friday, June 12, 2015 3:21 PM To: Burch, Brent Subject: lagoons at Fletcher Warehousing Company (formerly the Cranston Print Works Company ) Brent, There is a facility in Henderson County named Fletcher Warehousing Company that is requesting that their NPDES permit for a domestic wastewater discharge be revoked since they have now connected that discharge to the MSD sewer line. There is no problem with their request and we expect to proceed with rescinding the NPDES permit - However, this faci►ity was formerly the Cranston Print Works Company which originally used the two treatment ponds (-1 acre, total) to settle fly ash. When Fletcher took over in 1999 they discharged sanitary wastewaters to these ponds prior to discharge to the French Broad River for many years. No process wastewaters. I am wondering — are you aware of these ponds and do you have any record of sludge analysis performed on these ponds (lagoons) to determine if it is hazardous? I do not want to rescind the permit if DWR or DWM should be collecting sludge data from the lagoons or requiring some sort of closure. Any recommendations? The facility is located at 4600 Hendersonville Highway (Route 25) in Fletcher, NC. A map showing where the ponds and facility are located and the previous surface water discharge point is attached.

Box 188 Fletcher, North Carolina 28732 Dear Mr. Owen: Division of Water Quality Charles Wakild, P. E. Director March 22, 2013 John E. Skvarla, III Secretary Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NC0000094 Fletcher Warehousing Company Henderson County Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit. Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended). The following changes have been incorporated into this permit renewal: • The receiving stream classification was changed from WS-IV to B in 2002 and the Supplement to Cover page was updated to reflect this change. • A footnote for Total Residual Chlorine monitoring was added to Section A.(L) as follows: TRC limit and monitoring requirement only apply if chlorine is used for disinfection. The Permittee shall report all effluent TRC values reported by a NC - certified laboratory [including field -certified]. Effluent values below 50 µg/L will be treated as zero for compliance purposes. The Division recognizes that this facility was designed to treat 4 MGD of industrial textile wastewater and it is recommended that the small volume of 100% domestic wastewater from < 25 employees would be better treated if discharged to the local POTW. It is our understanding that the permittee is pursuing a connection to the City sewer line and will request rescission of the NPDES Permit once this is completed. 1617 Mail Servioe Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Location: 512 N.

No Current expiration date Nov. 30, 2010 New expiration date Nov. 30, 2015 Comments received on Draft Permit? No BACKGROUND: This facility is the former textile plant, Cranston Print Works, which was converted to a warehousing facility in 1999-2000. The textile plant had a treatment system designed for a permitted flow of 4.0 MGD which is now used to treat 100% domestic wastewater from < 25 employees. Much of the stormwater runoff, previouly directed to the treatment system, has been diverted, however, stormwater runoff from roof drains is still being collected in the aeration basins. After the majority of the stormwater was redirected, the permitted flow was reduced to 0.01 MGD and most of the effluent limits pertaining to textile facilities were removed from the permit. The facility has two 3.75 MGD aeration basins (lagoons) where wastewater is stored. Discharges occur only a few times a year. Asheville Regional staff expects the permittee to connect to the City POTW once the Cane Creek Sewer District installs the sewer mainline on the main road by Fletch. Installation of the mainline will hopefully occur by the end of 2013. The receiving stream was classified as WS-IV until 2002 when part of the French Broad was reclassified as B. Fletcher discharges to the segment that was reclassified as B waters. EFFLUENT LIMITS: Originally, a Level B water quality model was performed and the water quality based BOD5 limitations were compared to the textile production based limits to determine which were more stringent. The current concentration limitations in the permit of 26 mg/L for a monthly average and 39 mg/L for a daily max were based on the more stringent textile production loading standard of 868 lbs/day (868 lbs/day - (4 MGD * 8.34)= 26 mg/l; 26 * 1.5 = 39 mg/L) and have been maintained in the permit since 1995. The facility has demonstrated continued compliance with these limits and they will remain in this permit renewal as well. The Total Suspended Solids (TSS) limits are based on secondary treatment standards for domestic wastewater and the Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) limit is the daily maximum required to protect for acute toxicity. The fecal coliform limits are human health standards and are required for B classification streams. TSS, TRC, and fecal coliform limitations will all remain in the permit. VIOLATIONS & INSPECTIONS Since 2008 the facility has exceeded its fecal coliform limitation on two occassions due to heavy rainfall. Several NOVs have been issued for monitoring frequency violations. A routine inspection was performed on 2/19/2010 and the facility was found to be compliant. However, the inspection recognized that the facility was designed to treat 4 MGD of industrial textile wastewater and recommended that the small volume of 100% domestic wastewater from < 25 employees would be better treated by an on -site treatment system or if discharged to the local POTW. INSTREAMDATA: Up and downstream sampling was not found with any DMRs submitted past July 2008. Henry Dyar, the ORC at Goldie & Associates, was contacted and he emailed instream fecal coliform data collected since 2009 and noted that he would follow-up on including instream data in the DMR's as required by the NPDES permit. A review of the limited up and downstream fecal coliform sampling data shows significant variations in fecal coliform levels in the receiving stream. It can not be determined if the discharge from Fletcher is having an impact on the receiving stream. RECOMMENDATIONS: It is recommended that the current limitations and sampling requirements be maintained in the permit renewal and that the facility connect to the City POTW when possible. NAME• JAIL DATE: REGIONAL OFFICE COMMENTS: Linda Wiggs from ARO inspected this site on 1/15/2013. She found the WWTP inoperable but the effluent was in compliance with the limits. There was some maintenance needed for stormwater issues as well. Linda will keep track of this facility and will follow-up with the WWTP if they do not connect to the POTW after the sewer mainline is installed.

(NC0000094) permit renewal Hi Julie, This facility is on my priority list for an inspection so I am going to go visit them Tuesday 1/15. 1 spoke with the owner and he is all set to tie onto the sewer system, he is just waiting for the city to complete the mainline. It sounds like that will happen soon, but definitely this year. So I don't know if that info makes you want to delay this permit further since you will likely be getting a rescission request. Let me know. But I will still be visiting it next week. The "B" class is correct. It use to be a WS-IV, but in 2002 we removed that part of the FrB as a WS, so now it is just B.

(NC0000094) permit renewal Linda, Attached is the draft permit, cover letter, fact sheet and map for Fletcher Warehousing Co. (NC0000094). There are no changes to the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements page. The last inspection noted that the facility description needed updating — I think it is but perhaps you can double check. Also, Planning's maps show that the stream classification is B — not WS-IV. Can you confirm? I know there has been talk on getting this discharge connected to a WWTP, expanding it for use as a WWTP, or building an on - site system. Not sure any of that has gone anywhere but if so, please let me know. I am hoping to get this out to Public Notice next Wed. so if you can just check on the three concerns listed above I would appreciate it. Thanks, Julie Julie A.

December 21, 2007 Susan Wilson DEHNR 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 RE: Permit Number 00094 Dear Ms. Wilson: DEC 2 7 2007 DU4R . WATER QUALITY { P; 1,1.7.-SOURCE, I represent the above referenced permit holder. The permitee is in the process of shutting down their waste water treatment lagoons. As part of that shutdown process, I would request that the discharge limitations on this permit be increased. By way of background, this permit until recently allowed for the discharge of approximately 4 million gallons per day. However, the permit was modified through action on the part of the Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources over time to allow the current discharge of only to 10,000 gallons per day. The discharge limitation of 10,000 gallons per day does not allow for discharge of two (2) waste water treatment lagoons, each containing approximately 2 million gallons nor does it allow for storm water events.. We had earlier this year conducted a 2 year hydrological study of the site indicating that an anticipated 2 year rain event would result in approximately 800,000 gallons of effluent — the storm water system is integrated into the waste water processing for the facility. I would request that the above referenced permit be modified by administrative letter. I would request that the permit be modified to allow discharge of between 200,000 and 400,000 gallons per day. I would request this discharge modification be temporary. I would anticipate that we would need at least 90 days and would hopefully not need more than 180 days. Please note I am trying to ask for the minimum feasible modification. We may need to revisit this based on unforeseen time parameters or other events. If so, I appreciate your cooperation in advance. Please note this is part of the process of shutting down the waste water treatment facility and not everything can be anticipated or planned for in advance. I look forward to hearing from the Department soon. (fie Alwutir) s,a ur WPF/skh PC: Keith Haynes, via facsimile Charles D.

They want to get out of the wwtp business, completely and finally. That said, ARO has no issue with the permit renewal. ARO will keep the heat on the permittee to correct their issues and push for a permanent solution - connection to the sewer.

Thank you for info about dischargers, but they are permitted and we would have to consider allocated assimilative capacity even if they are not built. Please keep me posted. Unfortunately, we can't keep permit on hold for a long time. Thank you! Sergei Larry Frost wrote: Sergei We are going to have to find a way and I hope it is not as a major modification. Remember the plant was designed for 4.0 mgd and is currently permitted for .010 mgd. The current discharge outfall pipe is approximately 2 miles long, from the plant to the French Broad River and has failed (due to hurricane flooding in September 2004). The current discharge pipe crosses under 2 major highways (Interstate 26 and US Hwy 25), under the only north -south railroad line in the area (Norfolk Southern) and crosses 2 tribs to cane Creek in route to the French Broad. The line has failed and the WWTP is currently discharging to Cane Creek and/or it's watershed. They cannot afford to replace or repair the 18" line. The WWTP serves the warehouse and 22 employees Cane Creek is adjacent to the plant and it converges with the French Broad approximately 2 miles downstream. And we are proposing a surface sand filter with less than .005 mgd discharge and maybe less than .002 mgd. I have heard nothing from the owner in the last few weeks.

Sergei Chernikov wrote: Larry, I have received a NOW for Fletcher that was based on your inspection. I have noticed that you suggested that company build surface sand filter, which we completely support. The one concern we have is that you recommended discharge to a Cane Creek instead of French Broad River. The relocation is possible but it would be lengthy and complicated process. In order to relocate discharge to Cane Creek they would need to apply for a Major Permit Modification. After we receive their application we would develop a water quality model to calculate new limits for your permit. After limits are developed we would go to a Public Notice, if there are no objections by private citizens, businesses, government organizations or environmental groups, we would modify their permit to allow relocation of discharge point. Since they would be moving to a smaller receiving stream it is likely that permit limits would be tighter. Cane Creek already has seven dischargers and most of it's assimilative capacity has been allocated. Therefore, limits for a new discharge would be tight to assure compliance with the water quality standards. I think that they need to keep their discharge at the current location. Please let me know the latest developments in your talks with them. Thank you!

The plant is overgrown and a refuge for wildlife. The facility must either be maintained or another treatment option found. Repair and maintenance of the existing plant has been determined to be too expensive, power consumption to run just the influent pump station is high. The warehouse has investigated the possiblity of installing traditional septic tank and nitrofication field; and have been denied by Henderson County. The warehouse is/has investigated connection to MSD and the Cane Creek Sanitary District and found the prospects very expensive. It is the recommendation of these inspectors, in consultation with the Regional Supervisor and the NPDES Permitting Unit, that the; - 1) current permit renewal process be put on hold - 2) that the warehouse investigate the possibility of (utilizing the current permit, which will reduce permitting time) permitting with the NPDES Permitting Unit a surface sand filter to handle the domestic wastewater of its employees. In doing so the warehouse should request a discharge point in Cane Creek adjacent to the warehouse. - 3) the warehouse should begin investigating the ultimate disposal of sludge from this facility. Including volume, which I understand may be minimal (from Mr. Roy Davis). They should contact class D land fills for testing requirements and disposal requirements; or municipile wastewater treatment plants that may accept it as septage. - 4) the warehouse should also investigate their disposal needs for storm water as well. In order to utilize a treatment option the stormwater will have to be discharged form the site. The Asheville Regional Office looks forward to working with Fletcher Warehousing to resolve these issues.

ASSOCIATES engineering, environmental and laboratory services Please find enclosed three (3) copies of the above referenced permit renewal package (application, discharge location map, and sludge management plan). Goldie and Associates is submitting this information on behalf of Fletcher Warehousing Company, and request that the existing NPDES permit be renewed. Although the plant was originally designed as a 1 MGD facility, it now only serves domestic wastewater from the warehouse's restrooms (and some storm water runoff), and is therefore currently permitted for 0.010 MGD. We request that this permitted flow be retained for the renewal. Additionally, because of this reduced flow, a reduced sampling frequency for some parameters was granted in March 2004. We would request that this reduced frequency also be carried over into the new permit. Please contact us at (864) 881-8194 if you require further information.

The facility was originally designed. for handling 1.0 MGD of domestic and industrial wastewater; thus, the amount of biosolids entering the plant at the now permitted flow of 0.1 MGD is easily treated and degraded by the plant without need for removal. The facility does accept small amounts of biosolids from other domestic treatment facilities, but these amounts remain insignificant relative to the treatment capacity of the plant. imap:Hsergei.chemikov%40dwq.denr.ncmail.net@cros.ncmail.net:143/f...

Box 457 Swannanoa, North Carolina 28778 Subject: NPDES Permit Modification Fletcher Warehousing Company NPDES Permit NC000094 Henderson County Dear Mr. Pott II: Division personnel have reviewed your request for revision of sampling requirements and increase in flow adjustment. We have reduced your sampling frequency for several parameters in accordance with state regulations (Administrative code section 15A NCAC 2B .0500). New sampling frequencies are presented in Attachment A(1). However, we are unable to grant your request for increase in permitted flow. Analyses of Discharge Monitoring Reports for your facility indicated that since the conversion to Fletcher Warehousing Company during 2001 and 2002 flow has been recorded only in March of 2001. Since the beginning of 2003, flow has been recorded every month of the year and frequently exceeded the permitted flow of 0.01 MGD. The Division understands that you are in the process of modifying your stormwater conveyance systems to divert roof drains from the treatment system, which should alleviate existing problems. Stormwater can be discharged in accordance with Stormwater General Permit. Please contact Ken Pickle at 919-733-5083 (ext. 584) to obtain information on General Stormwater Permits. If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit modification are unacceptable to you, you have the right to an ad)udicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings (6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699- 6714). Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.

Goodrich NCDENR-NPDES Unit 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 Re: NPDES Permit NC0000094 Dear Mr. Goodrich: D L5 OCT 17 2003 L DENR-WATER QUALITY POINT SOURCE BRANCH Pursuant to your letter of July 3, 2003 regarding our May 8, 2003 request for a flow volume change we hereby include a check for the permit revision fee in the amount of $215 as requested. Additionally, as we have not received any response to our request of March 7, 2003 (copy enclosed) for a revision of sampling requirements we wish to incorporate that request into the flow volume request for a single permit modification, as set forth below. We had concerns when our permit was originally being drafted as a change from the old Cranston Print Works permit levels about the very low flow volumes of the revised permit given historical peak rainfall levels in the area and that our roof drains for all buildings feed into the treatment system. Rainfall levels this spring have dramatically increased our documented flow levels and we wish to request an increase in our authorized flow volumes to .1MGB in recognition of this. The increase inflow is due solely to rainfall levels and not to any increased activity levels at the site. We also wish to request a modification in our above referenced permit for sampling requirements. Our permit covers a 4.0 MGD extended aeration wastewater treatment facility for an average flow of 0.01 MGD. The wastewater plant was originally configured for a textile finishing plant, but the property is currently utilized as a warehouse and distribution facility. Primary inflows to the system are roof drains and stormwater versus sanitary waste, although sanitary waste does flow into the system. The sampling requirements of our effluent are certainly reasonable if system flows were at the 4.0 MGD level, but are quite onerous since we are limited to 0.01 MGD average flow. I have been given to understand that the sampling requirements we are under are not standard for a facility with flows of 0.01 MGD. We are also investigating alternatives for handling the storm drain flows, but believe a permit revision in the interim will be necessary for us to remain in compliance. We have maintained contact with our regional representative, Mr. Roy Davis, about the status of our potential alternatives, and hope we can have the issue fully resolved before the end of this summer. If you have any questions regarding this request, please contact me at 828-210-1820. Sincere x, William H. Pott Il M. Roy Davis, Asheville Regional Office t FLETCHER WAREHOUSING COMPANY P.O.

I made it back from Asheville just fine and returned to a lovely stack of permit files, one of which is in your county. I've been looking at the DMRs for the last three years to ascertain what should be included in the new permit. The attached file contains Excel plots of the flow, COD, phenol, chromium and sulfides data (I thought it was easiest to look at the data graphically). The data seem to indicate (and there is an e-mail in the permit file from Charles Weaver that confirms this) that Fletcher has so little waste now that they are storing it in a lagoon for several months and then discharging it. Also, when Cranston was in operation, they said that 0.5% of their total flow was domestic waste. Since they were permitted at 4 MGD and 0.50 of 4 MGD is 20,000 gpd AND Fletcher's waste is entirely domestic, I'm suggesting the reduction of their flow limit to 0.05 MGD. As for the other parameters, notes in the file suggest that phenols, sulfides, chromium and COD be eliminated, especially since the waste is now domestic and the 40 CFR does not included these as parameters of concern for domestic waste. Lastly, the current TSS limit is 80.0 mg/L, which should probably be reduced to 30 mg/L. I would like your input on these changes; it might be best to discuss on the phone - my number is 919-733-5083 ext. 551. Thanks! Natalie LJNC0000094 effluent limits assesment.xls ............

Date: Mon, 18 Oct 1999 11:27:16 -0400 From: Charles Weaver <charles.weaver@ncmail.net> To: Mark Mcintire <mark.mcintire@ncmail.net> We can't do an NCG550 - Forrest & Roy said that the facility is seeking other users for the lab and treatment works. Forrest wants the new owners to understand that later expansions of flow should be no problem, but that they can't keep the 4 MGD. They won't get another industry in there, but they may want to expand the flow for domestic waste later on. If DDK Environmental tries out their plan for diluting & treating animal waste, they will need an individual permit, and some pretty stringent monitoring. The facility will probably be startled enough at flow <1 MGD. Roy wanted to let them keep the 4 MGD but Forrest & Dave nixed that. They both want the flow well below 1 MGD - there's no reason for this facility to be a major. I'd give them limits for 0.05 MGD. That will allow them to expand slowly from the present skeletal operation, but keep them from making too big a change without approval from the ARO (and us). It will also allow for any massive rainfall events, etc. You can probably pick any number you'd like and run it by Forrest - if he says yes, I'd go with that. CHW C S ' G(✓1 rG t \ e C- �' .

Hunt, Jr., Governor Bill Holman, Secretary Kerr T. Stevens, Director g,q MEMORANDUM To: Mark McIntire f From: Charles H. Weaver, Jr. Subject: Modification of Permit NC0000094 Fletcher Warehousing Company Henderson County 'AlT111 NCDENR NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES Mark, Cranston Print Works formerly owned this site. That company left town and removed all of its manufacturing gear. The new owners, Fletcher Warehousing Company, requested a name & ownership change mod. I talked to Dave & Forrest Westall about this, and have also had several conversations with Roy Davis about it (as it's in one of Roy's assigned counties). A hard copy of the draft modification I prepared is in the permit folder. Changes were made to the old permit based on the following info: or William Pott (facility contact) said that all the facility stormwater flows through outfall 001 also. Thirty-year rainfall data yielded a worst case figure of 3.3 MGD discharge of stormwater, so Mr. Pott wanted the flow limit to stay at 4.0 MGD. Dave & Forrest want this changed (see below) Ar BOD and TSS limits are from Jackie's 1995 wasteload, calculated for 4 MGD. Jackie went over the revised permit with me and suggested that monitoring frequencies not be changed for the remaining parameters. The permit is due to expire in September 2000 so we will be revisiting this issue in less than a year. Limit changes can be made then, along with changes in monitoring frequencies as necessary. IF Metals limits & monitoring and the tox limit were removed. Mr. Pott said that the facility currently discharges only when there is heavy rainfall. His company has hired DDK Environmental to run the WWTP and operate the lab on -site. DDK is pursuing contracts with dairy farmers in the area to "clean out cow lagoons" and use the WWTP to treat whatever they remove. Nothing has been done yet, but I'll let the ARO know this is a possibility. In the last staff report, the ARO suggested that connecting the WWTP to the Asheville sewer system was "possible". This also might be brought up at renewal — if the domestic waste were tied in to the city sewer, only a stormwater permit would be necessary. Your job (should you decide to accept it) is to calculate a new flow limit and adjust the other limits accordingly. Dave & Forrest want to give a flow limit representative of the much smaller activity at the site. As I mentioned earlier, there is no flow data from the facility. It hasn't discharged at all.

What had been several properties were consolidated into one on this transfer. If you need a history reflecting the parcels separately, please let me know. The deed has two dates reflected on it. The December 22 date is when closing was originally scheduled. This closing was postponed as weather conditions kept Federal Express from delivering certain documents related to the closing. The December 29 date reflected as the filing and recording date in the Register of Deeds Office in Henderson County was the actual closing date and properly reflects the title transfer date. Up through last month Cranston still had an employee on site to continue meeting their requirements with NCDENR. We have engaged DDK Environmental to perform these tasks for us and they have offices on the property. Please let me know should you require any further information to transief owucrsiup of the permit. Sincerely, 4�0 *�/� William H.

The request did not include any documentation (such as a deed or sales agreement) showing the date on which your firm took control of the subject facility. Please submit the appropriate documentation to my attention at the address listed at the bottom of this page. Due to the fluid nature of facility ownership changes, Division policy requires written documentation that the new owner has taken possession of the permitted facility. In the past, ownership modifications were erroneously issued due to delayed transfers of ownership, corporate restructuring, abandoned purchases, etc. For compliance purposes, it is best to have an exact date on record to document when your firm took control of the former Cranston Print Works site. I apologize for the delay in responding to your request. The NPDES Unit currently has five vacant positions with an additional staff member on extended medical leave. This staff shortage is delaying all of our work. Your modification request is among thirty modification requests I am currently reviewing. Please submit the deed (or other comparable) documentation and I will complete the name and ownership change modification. If you have any questions about this matter, or about the NPDES permitting process, contact me at (919) 733-5083, extension 511. Sincerely, Charles H.

I very much enjoyed meeting 4 .�4 you yesterday and look forward to working with you in the years to come. During the inspection, I was informed that manufacturing at this location has ceased and that Owen., ? Manufacturing closed on the former Cranston Print Works property on December 29, 1998. At the time of my inspection only a small volume was being discharged, primarily as a result of infiltration of groundwater into treatment plant units. I discussed the transfer of Cranston's NPDES Permit with Charles Weaver of our central headquarters staff. We agreed that Owen manufacturing should submit a Short Form D - (attached) along with a check made out to the Department (DENR) in the amount of $214 . 50 as a permit processing fee. We view this as a major modification to a minor permit which determines the amount of processing fee. In a cover letter, please discuss the flow you want to discharge and how that figure was arrived at. Also, please stress that you are seeking transfer and modification of Cranston's existing Permit (NC0000094). It would also be well to attach a letter from Cranston in which Cranston agrees to the �.x requested transfer. Given that Owen Manufacturing proposes to use this property exclusive) for warehousing,the new .,• � P P Y Y . effluent limits page would authorize the discharge of treated domestic wastewater only and would no longer ,aw>� authorize the discharge of treated industrial process wastewater.

Greene Cranston Print Works Company Fletcher Division Fletcher, North Carolina 28732 Dear Mr. Greene: Subject: NPDES Permit Modification Permit No. NC0000094 Cranston Print Works Co. Henderson County This correspondence is in response to your February 23, 1996 request for a minor permit modification. Specifically, you requested that fecal coliform limitations be removed based upon a change in receiving stream classification from WS-IV to C. The Division does not require fecal coliform limitations based upon stream classification. Fecal coliform limits are based upon the effluent dilution ratio which is a function of stream flow, not classification. Under this policy, the fecal coliform limitations currently contained in your NPDES permit are appropriate. In addition, your facility has been found to discharge high levels of fecal coliform . Although the Division does not typically encourage the chlorination of industrial wastewater discharges, the fecal coliform limitations are necessary and no permit modification with respect to fecal coliform has been made. It was also requested that chlorinated phenolic compound monitoring be reduced to quarterly rather than weekly based upon a change in receiving stream classification from WS-IV to C. Although there is no water quality standard for chlorinated phenolic compounds in non -water supply classified waters, the Division is still concerned with the potential for discharge of these compounds. However, the Division concurs that weekly monitoring is not necessary to adequately characterize this potential. In accordance with this determination, your NPDES permit has been modified to provide for twice monthly monitoring of chlorinated phenolic compounds and permit effluent limitations for these parameters have been removed. Attached to this correspondence is an amended Supplement to Permit Cover Sheet which reflects the new stream classification and an Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements page which reflects the changes noted above. These pages should be inserted into your permit. The old Supplement to Permit Cover Sheet and Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements page should be discarded. All other terms and conditions contained in the issued permit remain unchanged and in full effect. These permit modifications are issued pursuant to the requirements of Nortla'Carolina General Statutes 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This permit modification becomes effective immediately. If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a ti rittcn petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the P.O.

Goodrich Permits and Engineering Unit Division of Environmental Management/ WQ Section Post Office Box 59535 Raleigh, N. C. 27626-0535 Dear Mr. Goodrich: /co,�_ 'zt vEcE vED FEB 9- We would like to request a review, and possible modification of our NPDES Permit, NC 0000094. Our current permit became effective as of October, 1995 with the classification of the receiving stream being WS IV. The portion of the river receiving our discharge was being considered as a surface water source for the City of Asheville. The portion of the receiving stream that we discharge to has since been reclassified to a Class C status, and is no longer being considered as a surface water source. The proposed intake has been relocated to a point upstream of our discharge to the Mills River and Upper French Broad. We would like to request two modifications to our permit: 1) The limit for Phenols, 4-Chloro-3 methyl phenol, 4-Chloro-2 methyl phenol, and 2,4-dimethyl phenol be changed to reflect the stream classification change. These parameters were in our permit based on the use of the stream as a water source, which is no longer the case. We would also request that the monitoring frequency be reduced to quarterly rather than weekly due to the changes in plans to use the stream as a water APO - source. 2) The Fecal Coliform limits to be removed to reflect the stream classification change.,, We believe that to meet the current limit that chlorination will be necessary. We also believe that this would be more detrimental to the receiving stream quality than the possible impact of F. Coliform in an industrial discharge. cp w AN EMPLOYEE -OWNED COMPANY RI'CEIYED F€Q 2 § f* We would appreciate your consideration and comments on this matter.

Facility Name CRANSTON PRINTWORKS Permit # NC0000094_ Pipe # 001 CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY) The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in: 1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic Bioassay Procedure - Revised *September 1989) or subsequent versions. The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality is _1.9_% (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document). The permit holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance with the permit condition. The first test will be performed after thirty days from the effective date of this permit during the months of _MAR JUN SEP DEC .. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code TGP3B. Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch North Carolina Division of Environmental Management 4401 Reedy Creek Road Raleigh, N.C. 27607 Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream. Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above. Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this pemut 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 and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate retesting(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements. 7Q10 316 cfs Permitted Flow 4.0 MGD IWC 1.9 % Basin & Sub -basin FRB02 Receiving Stream French Broad River.

Instream monitoring for fecal shows 200 standard is violated both upstream and downstream of Cranston. Since proposed Asheville water intake is downstream, approximately 10 miles, will recommend that fecal limit be given at this renewal. Toxicant analysis results: Cr - monitoring no/ longer needed, < 1/10 of allowable concentration Phenols = limit of 52 µg/i needed, WQ based, convert to mass concentration of 1.73 lbs/day Copper = monitoring needed, predicted 20x greater than allowable, max. observed value 10x greater than allowable Zinc = monitoring needed, predicted almost twice the allowable, max. observed value N2 allowable Cn - monitoring no longer needed, < 1/10 of allowable concentration Will recommend the renewal of 4 chloro 3 methyl phenol, 4 chloro 2 methyl phenol, and 2,4 dimethyl phenol. Should note that these are carcinogens (use Qa to calculate allowable, would be extremely High). Probably not within 1/10 of allowable. However, because these have been in permit, historically will recommend renewal of monitoring for these substances, since there have been some reported values above detection. 25s_ Q Cranston Print Works NC0000094 EFFLUENT GUIDELINE LIMITATIONS Type of Product Produced 1000 lbs/day Produced Daily Max Monthly Avg Effluent Guideline Reference Simple Woven Fabric Finishing 40 CFR 410, Subpart D Synthetic 6.752 5.064 Natural 108.034 81.025 N/S Blend 20.256 15.192 Complex Woven Fabric Finishing 40 CFR 410, Subpart D Synthetic 6.752 5.064 Natural 108.034 81.025 N/S Blend 20.256 15.192 Simple Knit Fabric Finishing 40 CFR 410, Subpart E Synthetic Natural 42.56 35 N/S Blend 10.64 5 Complex Knit Fabric Finishing 40 CFR 410, Subpart E Synthetic, Natural 1 42.56 35 N/S Blend 1 10.64 5 CTTRPART D - W.- Fahrir Finichina Cnhratranry Effluent Parameter EPA Limitations (Ibs/1000 in 40 CFR Ibs ofproduct) Effluent Limits Ohs/ day) Comments Footnote Daily Max 30 day avg.

Nowell�ju'N SUBJECT: Response to Division of Environmental Health Comments on Cranston Print Works Co. NPDES Permit No. NC0000094 Henderson County The Technical Support Branch has reviewed the comments of Mr. Richard Rowe concerning the NPDES permit renewal for the subject facility. Our response to his concerns are as follows: 1. The total phenols limit recommended by the Division was calcu- lated by the "conservation of mass" equation and does protect for the instream water quality standard of 1 ug/l. This limit for total phenols of 1.77 #/D (monthly avg.) and 3.54 #/D (daily max.) is more stringent than the effluent guidelines recommended by the EPA for a woven fabric finishing industry. The staff in our Asheville Regional Office have been working closely with Cranston Print Works regarding compliance with the phenols limit. Similarly, for the chromium limit, we evaluated the pollutant to pro- tect the river for the N.C. standard of 50 ug/l, and found the recom- mended effluent guideline was more stringent. Therefore, we believe that the river will be more than protected for chromium. Our evaluations for cyanide, copper, and zinc showed that due to the high (50:1) dilution in the French Broad River and a comparison of the allowable concentrations of these pollutants to the actual effluent concentrations, permit limita- tions would not be necessary. It is our opinion that monthly monitoring requirements will be sufficient to alert us to any potential problems that Cranston's discharge may cause. In addition, a review of water quality data at a DEM ambient station about three and a half miles above the proposed water and a USGS gaging station in Asheville nine miles below the proposed water intake, show no instream problems with chromium, cyanide, copper, or zinc, with most samples registering below laboratory detection levels. 2.

Tweed, P.E. / Environmental Engineer Asheville Regional Office This office has reviewed the comments submitted by Richard Rowe with Division of Environmental. Health concerning the proposed renewal of NPDES Permit No. NC0000094. A discussion of each of the points raised is as follows: 1. The phenols limitations is bared on the waster quality standard for of 1.0 ug/l not to be exceeded at 7 day 10 year low flow. The current permit limits were negotiated with approval from Health Services and the limitations for phenolic compounds have not changed. There should be no objection to retaining those phenolic compounds limits that were previously negotiated and approved. Health Services has not presented any additional information which warrants change of these limitations. 2. Production at this facility is almost continuous and with approximately a 24 hour detention wastewater treatment system it is near impossible to create a slug type discharge. Concentration limits are not necessary and should not be required.

The Company has always had a 4.0 MGD design flow system and the current permit contains a 4.0 MGD flow limitation. The existing permit was modified after it was originally issued to include the 4.0 MGD flow limit. The 4.0 MGD flow limit has always been a part of Cranston's previous control document and consistent with what is in the ground. This issue was discussed in some detail with regional Environmental Health staff and it was understood that the issue was settled. The Company is not proposing any increase in flow as is indicated by Health Services. 4. Due to the distance between Cranston and the proposed intake, it is expected that the discharge will be completely mixed and our review is on this basis, which is worse case. The intake and discharge point are on opposite sides of the river and in reality would impart the intake at no more than a complete mix situation. Al]_ sampling data collected to date has not shown any evidence of the compounds in excess of water quality standards. Additional study of mix patterns is not recommended. Health Services has .reviewed this data and should be aware of the quality of the river. It continues to be DEM's conclusion that the French Broad River will not be rendered unsuitable for its classified uses as result of the continue operation of Cranston Print Works wastewater treatment system_ The statements provided by the Division of Environmental Health are of concern since the proposed permit is essentially the same as the existing permit which that Division concurred with in the past. With no new "information on which to base a revised position, the DEH has resurrected issues that were discussed, evaluated, and settled with their input. It is this Offic:e's conclusion that there is no information provided which has riot been previously addressed in issuance of the current NPDES Permit. It is recommended that the Division seek Health Services approval and proceed with processing of this permit. Should there be any questions, please advise. GTT cc: Roy M.

NPDES Permits Group Leader Discharge Permit Unit Division of Environmental Management FROM: Richard K. Rowe, Director Division of Environmental Health SUBJECT: Draft National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit Cranston Print Works Company School House Road Etowah Henderson County Permet No. NC0000094 PWSS No. 491 Reference is made to the above mentioned Draft National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit. We have reviewed the data submitted and conducted a field investigation regarding the permit and make the following comments: 1. We are concerned about the level of total phenols and other possible chemicals allowed to be discharged into the French Broad River approximately 9.2 miles upstream of the potential Asheville intake site. Our concerns stem from comments made in a February 19, 1987 memo from Ted Taylor, Ph.D. (Toxicologist) of this department about this referenced discharge and the fact that the proposal exceeds the established 1.0 ug/l limit for total phenols. A copy of Dr. Taylor's memo is attached for your review. An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer M. Dale Overcash, P.E. Page 2 May 10, 1990 2. The permit limits are set based on pounds/day allowable discharge. We feel that a maximum effluent concentration level needs to be established to restrict heavy dosages during peak production periods. 3. The current permit shows an increase in possible waste production from 2.5 mgd (in 1986) to 4.0 mgd. This increased volume of waste needs to be closely evaluated to determine its total impact on the downstream water quality. We object to the issuance of this permit because we feel this discharge may render the French Broad River unsuitable as a future water supply source. Although the discharge is 9.2± miles upstream of a potential water supply intake point, there are some concerns as to the concen- tration of pollutants at the potential intake point. We need to know what type of mixing pattern can be expected between the point -of -discharge and the potential water supply intake point during various flows in the French Broad River. Coupled with this information would be the actual concentration of pollutants we might expect to find at the potential intake point due to a controlled simulated substance release at the point -of -discharge.

Our comments and recommendations concern- ing this matter are as follows: 1) For the parameters, total suspended residue, temperature, and COD, Cranston has recommended sampling more frequently than required under the draft permit. For example, they have recommended daily efflu- ent sampling for total suspended residue and temperature, where we only requested weekly sampling. A review of state regulations for Class III facilities under this SIC Code indicates that Cranston's recommended sampling frequencies may be more appropriate. Technical Support will recommend the continuation of weekly effluent sampling for BOD5 to main- tain consistency with the previous NPDES permit. 2) We recommend that the draft permit monitoring frequencies for dissolved oxygen remain weekly effluent sampling and monthly upstream and downstream sampling. This is more often than required in the previous permit, but Technical Support and the Asheville Regional Office do not concur with the omission of sampling for this parameter. As a major facility that discharges into a river classified for use as a water supply, it is the opinion of the staff that instream sampling should continue to determine if the discharge impacts dissolved oxygen levels in the river. 3) Monitoring frequencies for sulfide, total chromium, and conducti- vity should remain the same as required in the draft permit. Technical Support does not recommend any reduction in sampling frequencies. 4) Technical Support recommends the inclusion of monthly effluent monitoring for zinc, copper, and cyanide to the draft permit. Based on effluent data submitted by Cranston, Technical Support previously requested that these parameters be monitored in the final wasteload allocation issued 7/17/89.

Box 27687 Raleigh, NC 27611-7687 Attention: Ms. Lula Harris RE: NPDES PERMIT NO. NC0000094 Dear Ms. Harris: I it I wrote to you on September 21, 1989, regarding changes in the proposed monitoring frequencies in our renewal 'draft discharge permit. After careful review of our monitoring reports, we wish to make the following observations. Receiving Stream - .Upstream and Downstream Our discharge volume is usually much less than 1% of the stream flow and has very little impact on the measured stream parameters. Monthly testing is sufficient to characterize this impact. Discharged Effluent Measurements of BOD, TSS, COD, Sulfide, Chromium and Fecal Coliform are typically less than half the permitted average values. Since the treatment plant hydraulic detention time is 3-4 days, these parameters are not likely_ to change rapidly. There should be no need to test as frequently as proposed in the draft permit. Total suspended solids (TSS) is easily and quickly measured and is probably the parameter most likely to change suddenly and thus serve as an indicator of process variation. We agree to test TSS daily. We see no value in frequent dissolved oxygen (D.O.) tests of the effluent. The D.O. in the final clarifier would be almost zero, and any increase would result from incidental pick-up during turbulent passage from the clarifier through the clarifier launder and subsequent discharge pipes and flow meter. A two-mile pipeline discharges to a not -easily -accessible point on the river. Our discharge has no impact on the river D.O. as measured at the bridge downstream. - 2 - Stream sampling involves a tour of several miles each trip. We wish to minimize and consolidate stream sampling and also the packaging and shipping of samples to outside laboratories. We also think that too much repetitive data is undesirable, not only because of the time and expense involved, but because it dilutes and detracts from the care and attention that should be given to the more important information. We respectfully request that the proposed Monitoring Requirements, Part I.A.U) be amended as shown on the attached table. , Please call if you should have any questions.

The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic Bioassay Procedure - Revised *February 1987) or subsequent versions. The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality is bf % (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document). The permit holder shall perform Quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance with the permit condition. The first test will be performed after thirty days from issuance of this permit during the months of Nile--i/SE10 Z)6-C: . Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code TGP3B. Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention: Technical Services Branch North Carolina Division of Environmental Management P.O. Box 27687 'Raleigh, N.C. 27611 Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream. Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above. Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management 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 and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate retesting(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements. 7Q10 316 cfs Permited Flow 1', 6 MGD Recommended by: IWC% /, 9 Basin & Sub -basin Receiving Stream _ County hn/DE� fc.8 oz aex **Chronic Toxicity (Ceriodaphnia) P/F atV/�9 %, MAR- �-04rct, �� See Part 3 , Condition .

This river reach is from the confluence of Cane Creek and the river, to the Glenn Bridge (SR 3495-Buncombe County). The study was requested by Roy Davis, the Regional Engineer of the Division of Environmental Managements Asheville Regional Office, to assist the City of Asheville in arriving at a decision regarding the location of a raw water intake from the west side of the river at the Glenn Bridge. Cranston Print Works outfall pipe discharges 2.1 MGD to the eastern side of the river approximately 100 ft. upstream of the mouth of Cane Creek. Cane Creek is a tributary that discharges an average flow of 81 cfs to the eastern side of the river, 2800 ft. downstream of the Butler Bridge (SR 1345- Henderson County). The outfall pipe extends out into the river approximately five feet, and on the date of the study the top quarter of the pipe was exposed. Six liters of a fluorescent dye, Rhodamine W.T. (20% solution or 200,000 ppm) was poured into the effluent at the end of the pipe at 0900. A canoe was used to visually track the dye on the surface as it moved downstream, in order to determine when the dye cloud dispersed laterally across the river. This was noted at 0958 approximately 100 ft. downstream the Fanning Bridge (SR 1419-Henderson County). Dye samples to run on a Turner Model III Fluoro- meter were also taken at three points across the river at the Fanning Bridge and the Glenn Bridge. The three points were left bank, middle, and right bank looking upstream. The sampling points on the Fanning Bridge with the river being 162 ft. wide were at 40.5 ft., 81 ft., and 121.5 ft., from left to right. The sampling points on the Glenn Bridge with the river being 200 ft. wide were at 50 ft., 100 Ft., and 150 ft., from left to right. The samples were taken at a depth of one foot. Bottom samples were taken at the middle station and from this data it was determined that the river was completely mixed vertically. Results Dye concentration curves for the Fanning Bridge (FB-I) and Glenn Bridge (FB-2) stations are plotted in the attached figures. Extrapolating from the mixing information obtained for this slug input of dye to the mixing characteristics for the continuous input of the Cranston Print effluent can best be accomplished by looking at the areas under the dye concentration curves from dye data obtained at various points across the stream. This will give an indication of the relative amounts of dye running through each section of the river and thus the relative amounts of waste running through each section. The values found for these areas under the dye concentration curves can be compared against what would be expected under conditions of complete mixing. Under completely mixed conditions the dye curve areas would be exactly equal, or we could sat that out of 100% total area, each curve would contain 33.3 . When the areas under the dye concentration curves are measured at the Fanning Bridge station, the comparative values obtained at this station are 6O of the dye at the left bank, 3 % in the middle, and 9% at the right bank. To obtain a number value for mixing, it could be said that the waste would be 9°0/33.3% = 27% mixed at the right bank of the Fanning Bridge, or, put another way, the waste concentration at Fanning Bridge would be 27% of the concentration expected under complete mixing conditions. If the same procedure is used at the Glenn Bridge, it is found that the left bank had 45% of the total, the middle 31%, and the right bank 24% of the dye. Thus, mixing has increased to about 240/33.3% _ 72% complete at the Glenn Bridge. One may conclude that the concentration of Cranston Print waste in the French Broad passing by the right bank at Glenn Bridge in approximately 72% of the concentration which would be expected under complete mixing conditions. Note that this mixing percentage would apply only at a river flow of 1678 cfs as measured by the USGS gage on the French Broad River at Bent Creek. This was the flow at the time of the study. The average discharge at this gage over the last 42 years is 1679 cfs.
