Hydraulics Jeff Roper Facility Manager Parker Hannifin Corporation Hydraulic Valve Division 203 Pine Street Forest City, NC 28043 Tel: (828) 248-4495 Fax: (828)-348-4056 CP Engineering was recently informed by Mr. Larry Wade, of the NCDENR, that the original benchmarks levels for Copper and Zinc (Old benchmark Copper = 0.007 mg/L, Zinc = 0.067mg/L) for NCG030000 had been raised to NEW levels: Copper = 0.010 mg/L, Zinc = 0.126mg/L. We were also told that if the exceedances in the stormwater above the benchmark levels for Copper and Zinc were determined to be the facility metal roof, we may be told to go back to normal sampling schedule. Could you please contact me at 828-248-4495 or email me at lroper(aiparker.com with a direction on how to proceed forward with our stormwater sampling schedule. Ultimately, our goal is keeping our environment safe for employees, neighbors, and community. Respectfully submitted, ; Parker Hannifin Corp, Jeff Roper Facility Manager
