H-3 has absolutely nothing to do with sample points being removed and speaks to site pollutants.The sites EHS
managers doesn't supersede the State's call on what is considered an outfall.You should have contacted the
inspector that told you that was an outfall(me)and not someone downtown who knows nothing about what I saw.
SDO-005 is defiantly an outfall and as such must be sampled. Representative outfall status request to follow

Hi Thad—
Sometime in the early 2019 timeframe, I was tasked by Sharon Owens (former EHS manager) to look into SDO-005. We
determined that the flow from the curb &gutter that was designated as SDO-005 commingles with the flow in SDO-002
as dispersed flow upstream of waters of the State and before it leaves Flowserve's property.
Three samples collected at SDO-005 (end of curb &gutter) indicated that the measured parameters were below or close
to the BMVs. Even Copper was measured at 0.013, 0.021, and 0.0066 mg/L at SDO-005 which is similar or lower that
than the other outfalls.
In early 2023 1 was tasked to notify your division that Flowserve was making a planned change in accordance with the
Permit Part H-3 by eliminating SDO-005. We submitted this notification via letter mailed to Mike Lawyer on May 8,
2023. We did not realize this notification required a response from DEMLR.
As per previous correspondence with your division, we are requesting that you fast-track a decision on eliminating SDO-
ALT(100%off-site flow), SDO-001 (includes flow from SDO-ALT), and SDO-005 (flows into SDO-002)from future outfall
monitoring.

Jim
I'm reading back through these emails about this ROS request and I see that you sent Mike Lawyer a letter stating
that you were dropping outfall SDO-005 from the sample list because it doesn't drain to waters of the state.That is
an outfall I designated did require sampling in 2017 and you have not been authorized to discontinue sampling
and the facility will be out of compliance if that outfall is not sampled.

Thad—attached are the ROS letters that I can find in my files.
The folder RE:2-7-18 RAIL.xlsx is an email correspondence between you and Sharon Owens.
Note that SDO-ALT is flow entering the site from only S. Saunders St and an adjacent property. SDO-ALT is upstream
from SDO-001 which also includes on-site runoff via several catch basins. The metals measurements at SDO-ALT have
always been higher than at SDO-001. Flowserve does not contribute to SDO-ALT.
SDO-004 outlet end is unsafe to access and is otherwise impractical to collect samples.
