Dear Mr. Prater:
The Division has reviewed your submittal of the No-Exposure Certification for Exclusion from NPDES Stormwater
Permitting form. Based on your submittal and signed certification of no exposure at the above referenced facility, the
Division is granting your conditional exclusion from permitting as provided for under 40 CFR 126.22(g), which is
incorporated by reference in North Carolina regulations.
Please note that by our acceptance of your no-exposure certification, you are obligated to maintain no-exposure
conditions at your facility. If conditions change such that your facility can no longer qualify for a no-exposure exclusion,
you are obligated to immediately obtain NPDES permit coverage for your stormwater discharge. Otherwise, the

expires in five years (April 21, 2014). At that time you must re-certify with the Division, or obtain NPDES permit
coverage for any stormwater discharges from your facility.
Your conditional exclusion from permitting does not affect your facility's legal requirements to obtain environmental
permits that may be required under other federal, state, or local regulations or ordinances.
If you have any questions or need further information, please contact Sarah Young at [phone], or at
[e-mail].
Sincerely,
for . Coleen N. Sullins

Dear Mr. Prater:
A complaint investigation was conducted at the Var Tech Systems facility on August 14, 2008 by Rose
Pruitt of the Winston Salem Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality. During the investigation
an illicit discharge of process waste water from a metal cutting operation was observed to be draining
from the laser cutter to barrels outside that overflowed from the top and through an attached hose, across
the parking lot to a storrwater drainage ditch that drains to an unnamed tributary to Muddy Creek a
Class C Water in the Yadkin River Basin. Additionally, this facility was found to be operating without a
NPDES General Permit NCG030000 to discharge stormwater associated with activities related to the
manufacturing of industrial and commercial machinery(SIC 35).
Compliance issues and violations are as noted below:
M The facility was found to be operating with out a_permit.
During the inspection, it was determined that your facility has not submitted a Notice of Intent (NOI) for
coverage under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit 4
NCG030000 to Discharge Stormw-ater. This permit is required of businesses that generate stormwater
discharges associated with activities classified as Fabrication of Metal Products (Standard Industrial
Code 34). You are hereby advised that the failure to obtain a permit from this Division is a violation of
North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1. This violation could subject you to enforcement action with
the possible assessment of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day per violation.

(2) Illicit discharge of process water from the metal cutter.
Process waste water from a metal cutting operation was observed to be draining from the laser cutter to
barrels outside that overflowed from the top and through an attached hose, across the parking lot to a
stormwater drainage ditch that drains to an unnamed tributary to Muddy Creek a Class C Water in the
Yadkin River Basin.,Process water should be treated, recycled or drained to the sanitary sewer to
prevent point source discharges of the process water into the storm drains or surface waters.
You must stop the illegal discharge of effluent from the drainage pipe as this process water is being
discharged in violation of state statute 143-215.1 (6) which states in part that no person shall cause or
permit any waste, directly or indirectly, to be discharged to or in any manner intermixed with the waters
of the State in violation of the water quality standards applicable to the assigned classifications...
Penalties may be assessed for this violation of up to $25,000 per day per violation.
This Office requires that violations, as stated above, be abated immediately. Also please note, these
violations and any future violations are subject to civil penalty assessments of up to $25,000.00 per day,
per violation.

I attached a draft report on Vartech Systems for you to see their
wastewater discharge issues. I had received a complaint about the
facility.
Please let me know what the outcome is. Currently, I plan-to issue a
NOV for not having done a waste determination on sludge being sent to
the landfill.
I have a few more photos if you need them.

Inspector (s)—Ernest Lawrence
Date of Inspection—August 12, 2008
Status—CEG
Inspection Type—CEI
Present at Inspection—Ernest Lawrence, John Easley
Complaint
A complaint about VarTech Systems was received by EPA Region 4 and forwarded to the Hazardous Waste
Section on August 5, 2008. The complaint alleged that garnet sludge and metal dust was being dumped at
the facility and being covered with mulch and vines. It also alleged that there was continual dumping of
waste across the parking lot.
Facility Description
VarTech Sytems, Inc. manufactures computers. This includes manufacturing metal parts, brackets, and
assembling the computers. Processes include machining, grinding, welding, and cutting. A garnet water jet
is used to cut metals used in the computers. No cleaning of metals is required. No painting is done at the
facility, and all powder coating of steel and aluminum is done off-site. The machines use an oil based
coolant.
Wastes Generated
Garnet sludge
Wastewater from garnet water jet unit
Used oil—Petroleum based coolant
Manifests
The facility has not shipped hazardous waste.

Waste Determination—Water Jet Sludge
The facility has water jet metal cutting equipment that uses garnet as an abrasive.The unit has a large open
top reservoir that is approximately 5 x 13 x 4 feet. Water and sludge is re-circulated through a separator that
is next to the water jet unit.
Mr. Easley said that sludge from the water jet is cleaned out every two weeks and disposed at the landfill.
Mr. Easley said that about one 55-gallon container of this waste is disposed each time the unit is cleaned
out.
Discharges Outside the Building_At the time of inspection the unit was discharging overflow from the
water jet reservoir through a pipe in the wall to two 55-gallon containers outside the building. Also, the
separator unit inside the building was discharging into the two containers. The first 55-gallon container was
overflowing at the time of inspection.

Wastewater was being discharged from the second 55-gallon container through a 1-inch pipe. The pipe
emptied at the edge of the parking lot.
A large volume of wastewater was being discharged from the from the 1-inch pipe and from the overflowing
55-gallon container. Wastewater was observed flowing several hundred feet across the parking lot into a
wooded area.
� � •i. _ �r� rf
r -
ar
�S

Residue from the wastewater had noticeably accumulated on the pavement around the two 55-gallon
containers.
Garnet Sludge Disposal Area-An area at the edge of the parking lot had been used to dispose garnet sludge.
Mr. Easley said that about six or eight 55-gallon containers of sludge had been disposed in the area about
four months ago. The sludge had been covered or mixed with dirt. Also, a 4-inch pipe was observed in the
area, which Mr. Easley said was discharging stormwater from the roof.
Rear Loading Area—There was one 55-gallon container that was 2/3 full of dried garnet sludge on the
loading dock. Some dried sludge was also observed on the asphalt next to the dumpster.
Used Oil
A petroleum based coolant is used in machines at the facility.One 55-gallon of used oil was observed in the
Rear Loading Area. It was not labeled with the words"Used Oil."
Universal Waste
Fourteen 4-ft. and seven 8-ft. used fluorescent tubes that were not in containers were observed. I told Mr.
Easley that these cannot be disposed at the landfill.

Exit Interview
I discussed with Wayne Prater, President, why the facility was discharging the garnet wastewater onto the
parking lot and disposing sludge in the small dump area and at the landfill. He said that he did not believe
there were any hazards based on the water jet manufacturer information.
I told him he must have full knowledge of the constituents of the sludge, which may include chemicals from
residues on the metals and other sources. I told him it would be necessary to make a waste determination by
using generator knowledge or analytical testing. The waste determination must be fully documented.
We discussed the facility EPA ID and that a subsequent notification had not been made, since the facility
name is still listed as Enovation Graphic Systems, which previously used the building. Mr. Easley made a
copy of the 8700-12 form and said he would submit the updated information.
