Mr. Khan and Mr. Eplin,
Darling Ingredients Inc. (Bakery Feeds) herein provides the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality, Mooresville
Regional Office(NCDEQ) notification of the recent exceedance of the NPDES Permit NCG060220(Permit) identified benchmark
concentration for Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) at Outfall 001.This notification fulfills the reporting requirement identified in
Permit Condition E-7(a).On March 7, 2024, Bakery Feeds received the laboratory reports from Pace Analytical Services(formerly
Shealy Environmental Services, Inc.) indicating an elevated COD concentration of 122 mg/L at Outfall 001. Darling immediately
contacted Pace Analytical Services to run a reanalysis of that COD result and the reanalysis confirmed it to be at 123 mg/L.
Bakery Feeds will conduct a storm water management inspection, identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark
exceedance, and prepare an Action Plan that includes actions to reduce concentrations of COD pursuant to the timeline detailed in
Permit Condition E-7(a).Additionally, monthly monitoring will begin effective immediatelyfor Outfall 001. If you should have any
additional questions, please feel free to contact me at your earliest convenience.
