Environmental REPRESENTATIVE OUTFALL STATUS(ROS)
Quality REQUEST FORM
If a facility is required to sample multiple discharge locations with very similar stormwater discharges,==the
permittee may petition the Director for Representative Outfall Status(ROS). DEQ may grant Representative,I c t,,
Outfall Status if stormwater discharges from a single outfall are representative of discharges from multiple
outfalls. Approved ROS will reduce the number of outfalls where analytical sampling requirements apply.
If Representative Outfall Status is granted,ALL outfalls are still subject to the qualitative monitoring
requirements of the facility's permit—unless otherwise allowed by the permit(such as NCG020000)and DEQ
approval. The approval letter from DEQ must be kept on site with the facility's Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan. The facility must notify DEQ in writing if any changes affect representative status.
For questions, please contact the DEQ Regional Office for your area (see page 3).

RE: Corning Newton Cable Plant
NCG030686
Representative Outfall Status (ROS) Request
Dear Mr. Pitner,
This letter comes in regard to the Corning Newton Cable Plant's (Plant) permit of coverage
certificate NCG030686. Corning Optical Communications LLC requests that Outfall No. 1
represent Outfall No. 2. We enclose for your convenience a hard copy of the Representative
Outfall Status (ROS) Request Form that we have filed electronically on 03/25/24.
The basis for our request is as follows. Outfall No. 1 monitoring captures the following Plant
activities: waste collection, truck loading, reel storage and air handling units, as well as the
Plant's central accumulation area. Outfall No. 2 monitoring captures fewer Plant activities: waste
collection, truck loading, reel storage, and air handling units. Given the overlap for these two
outfalls, we believe that Outfall No. 1 provides the best representation since its monitoring
captures all activities performed at the Plant.
With the exception of one PH benchmark exceedance in Q4 2023, the Plant has not exceeded
the benchmark parameters in the last two years of analytical sampling. The Plant utilizes a
proactive system to ensure risks to the stormwater quality are mitigated through weekly
maintenance activities.
If you have any questions with reference to the above matter, please do not hesitate to contact
Lorissa Milton at 828-901-4139 or miltonla cacorninq.com.
Thank ou,
Craig W olhiser
