Dear Mr. Eplin:
On behalf of Darnel, Inc. (Darnel), please find attached the results of stormwater outfall sampling
that was conducted on May 14, 2024, for the Darnel, Inc. facility in Monroe, Union County, North
Carolina. Water samples were collected from the outfalls SDO-1, SDO-2, SDO-3 and SDO-4 by GRI
personnel on May 14, 2024, in accordance with the sampling requirements of the permit and the
updated SWPPP. In addition, a water sample, designated as SDO-4 Ditch, was also collected
downgradient of outfall SDO-4 in the ditch that runs parallel to the length of the building. Please
note that this ditch also receives runoff from Airport Road and the drainage ditch that runs parallel
to the road. Water samples were measured on-site for pH and then submitted for laboratory analysis
of total suspended solids (TSS), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and non-polar oil and grease. The
May 2024 sampling results indicated that there were exceedances of TSS in SDO-3, SDO-4 and SDO-
4 Ditch. However, GRI believes that these TSS concentrations will likely be reduced to levels below
the benchmark values once the engineering controls detailed in the updated SWPPP are fully
deployed at the site. A Site Map displaying the locations of the SDOs is presented as Figure 1. The
Stormwater Discharge Outfall Monitoring Report is included in Appendix A, the Stormwater
Discharge Outfall Qualitative Monitoring Report is included in Appendix B, and a complete laboratory
analytical report is included as Appendix C.

All permits require qualitative monitoring to be performed during a"measurable storm event."
A"measurable storm event" is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the permitted site
outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours prior. The 72-hour storm
interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a shorter interval is representative for
local storm events during the sampling period,and the permittee obtains approval from the local DEMLR
Regional Office.

Dear Eric Eubanks:
Waypoint Analytical, LLC (Charlotte) received sample(s) on 5/15/2024 for the analyses presented in the
following report.
The above referenced project has been analyzed per your instructions. The analyses were performed in
accordance with the applicable analytical method.
The analytical data has been validated using standard quality control measures performed as required by the
analytical method. Quality Assurance, method validations, instrumentation maintenance and calibration for all
parameters were performed in accordance with guidelines established by the USEPA(including 40 CFR 136
Method Update Rule May 2021) unless otherwise indicated.
Certain parameters (chlorine, pH, dissolved oxygen, sulfite...) are required to be analyzed within 15 minutes of
sampling. Usually, but not always, any field parameter analyzed at the laboratory is outside of this holding time.
Refer to sample analysis time for confirmation of holding time compliance.
The results are shown on the attached Report of Analysis(s). Results for solid matrices are reported on an as-
received basis unless otherwise indicated. This report shall not be reproduced except in full and relates only to
the samples included in this report.
Please do not hesitate to contact me or client services if you have any questions or need additional information.
Sincerely,
Danyale Love
Project Manager
Laboratory's liability in any claim relating to analyses performed shall be limited to, at laboratory's option, repeating the
analysis in question at laboratory's expense, or the refund of the charges paid for performance of said analysis.
