Subject: Notice of Deficiency(NOD-2024-PC-0098) Response Letter
Dear Mr. Eplin:
Gold Bond Building Products, LLC (Gold Bond) is submitting this written response to the North
Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), Division of Energy, Mineral and Land
Resources (DEMLR) Notice of Deficiency (NOD-2024-PC-0098) letter, dated May 30, 2024, for
the Mount Holly Plant located at 1725 Drywall Drive, Mount Holly, Gaston County North
Carolina.
The following deficiencies noted in the NOD letter have been addressed:
The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) has not been reviewed on an annual
basis.
o Gold Bond Response: The SWPPP has been reviewed and updated in accordance
with the latest General Permit No. NCG070000, effective June 1, 2023 and
expiring May 31, 2028, The SWPPP will be reviewed annually thereafter by the
facility. See the attached updated SWPPP.
* Illicit (no n-Stormwater) discharge monitoring has not occurred.
o Gold Bond Response: Non-stormater discharge monitoring has been completed
by the facility using the form in the updated SWPPP. Seethe attached completed
form in Appendix C of the updated SWPPP. This inspection will completed and
logged as required in the SWPPP from this point forward.
Analytical monitoring has not occurred.
o Gold Band Response: The facility has contracted a certified laboratory to
complete the required analytical testing. Sampling equipment has been provided
to the facility; however, analytical monitoring has not yet occurred since there

has not been a qualified storm event. Analytical monitoring, as well as
qualitative monitoring, will be conducted upon the next qualified storm event
and will completely quarterly as outlined in the new SWPPP.
A solvent management plan has not been prepared.
o Gold Bond Response: A solvent management plan has been prepared and
included as a chapter in the updated SWPPP.
Regarding other observations noted in the SOD letter:
• The SWPPP site map does not clarify that all storm drains, ditches and roof drains that
contain water exposed to industrial activity discharge to one of the existing known
outfalls.
o Gold Bond Response: Facility drawings have been reviewed as well as existing site
conditions. The SWPPP site map has been updated with a note clarifying this.
® Housekeeping at the facility needs improvement.
o Gold Bond Response: Regular sweeping is done on facility roadways, including
daily sweeping of facility roadways and the roadway from the truck tire wash
area north along the facility access road to Route 273. At the time of your
inspection, there was also material on the ground outside of the roll up doors
leading to the parking lot from the stucco silos on the west side of the plant. This
area has since been cleaned up, and the facility will continue to monitor the area
for housekeeping purposes to reduce or eliminate materials being exposed to
stormwater.
• The truck tire wash was not operational at the time of the inspection; thus, this Best
Management Practice was not being utilized.
o Gold Bond Response: See below for additional information.
DELMR requested written response to the following items.
When will the truck tire wash be repaired and operational?
o Gold Bond Response: The facility is currently assessing the truck tire wash to
determine how soon it can be repaired and operational based on the extent of
the repairs and upgrades needed. Given the extent of the repairs needed,
including structural repairs, the facility estimates that the truck tire wash will be
repaired and operational by the end of 2024. In the interim, the facility is

performing regular sweeping of facility roadways, including daily sweeping of the
roadway from the truck tire wash area north along the facility access road to
Route 273.
How did the deficiencies noted above occur and what actions will the facility take to
assure that they do not recur.
o Gold Bond Response: SWPPP team members are fairly new to the facility andlor
their positions, and they were unaware of the full SWPPP requirements as well as
recent changes from the latest General Permit. SWPPP team members have
been trained on the requirements of the SWPPP and will track and monitor
necessary compliance requirements, including but not limited to, annual reviews,
illicit discharge monitoring, analytical and qualitative monitoring and training.
Regarding the Action Items in the NOD letter:
1. Immediately review and amend the facility's SWPPP as needed. Incorporate and begin
annual updates, annual illicit discharge monitoring, and the analytical and qualitative
monitoring and reporting schedule, and include the required Solvent Management Plan.
o Gold Bond Response: The facility's SWPPP has been updated based on the new
General Permit. Subsequent annual updates will be incorporated into the SWPPP,
as well as annual illicit discharge monitoring, and analytical and qualitative
monitoring and reporting. The Solvent Management Plan has been included as a
chapter in the revised SWPPP.
2. Conduct training related to the updated SWPPP.
o Gold Bond Response: Training related to the updated SWPPP has been
conducted for the SWPPP team members. Documentation of SWPPP training is
provided in Appendix F of the SWPPP. Furthermore, Gold Bond conducts
comprehensive online SWPPP training for all facility personnel on an annual
basis. The last SWPPP training was done in July 2023, and most facility personnel

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
Introduction
This Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) has been prepared and revised for Gold Bond Building
Products, LLC (formerly New NGC, Inc. dba National Gypsum Company) (Gold Bond)—Mount Holly Plant
located at 1725 Drywall Drive, Mount Holly, Gaston County, North Carolina (facility).
On November 16, 1990, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) published regulations that
require certain industrial discharges of stormwater to apply for stormwater permits under the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program. The USEPA seeks to implement stormwater management
programs that will protect water quality. These regulations are contained in Parts 122, 123, and 124 of Section 40
of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Upon approval, the USEPA has granted individual states the authority
to establish and implement stormwater programs that conform to federal standards. The USEPA delegated North
Carolina authority to administer its NPDES program. North Carolina's Department of Environmental Quality(DEQ)
is the primary state agency responsible for environmental programs and stormwater management. The Division of
Energy, Mineral and Land Resources is the primary division of DEQ that implements stormwater management.
General industrial categories considered involved in industrial activities include facilities classified with Standard
Industrial Classification (SIC) 32—Stone, Clay, Glass, and Concrete Products. Applicable requirements for
discharging storm water associated with industrial activity are contained in the NPDES General Permit No.
NCG070000, effective June 1, 2023, and expires May 31, 2028. This General Permit supersedes the previous
General Permit. This SWPPP has been prepared to satisfy the current General Permit requirements.
A copy of the General Permit Certificate of Coverage (COC) is provided in Appendix A. A copy of the General
Permit is maintained at the facility in the Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Manager's office.
1 .1 SWPPP Objective
The objective of the SWPPP is to minimize the number and amounts of pollutants in storm water runoff leaving
the facility. This plan identifies potential sources of pollution which may reasonably be expected to affect the
quality of storm water discharges associated with industrial activity at the site. Gold Bond will implement Best
Management Practices (BMPs)that will control potential pollutant runoff from the facility's property. Gold Bond is
confident that the use of BMPs will have the desired effect of protecting the environment to the extent practical
and meeting the federal storm water management requirements.
1 .2 Planning and Organization
This plan incorporates storm water management provisions specified in relevant regulations and the General
Permit. The plan also identifies the roles and responsibilities of designated storm water pollution prevention team
members. A copy of the SWPPP is maintained at the facility in the EHS Manager's office. A SWPPP Cross
Reference Table is maintained at the front of this SWPPP.

2.2 Site Description
The Gold Bond Mount Holly facility is located at 1725 Drywall Drive, Mount Holly, North Carolina. A Site Location
Map is included as Figure 1.
The Gold Bond Mount Holly facility is a wallboard manufacturing plant that started operations in September 2007.
The facility consists primarily of a main manufacturing building, gypsum material storage area, paved parking
areas.
The manufacturing facility processes raw materials into building products such as wallboard. Chemicals used in
the manufacturing process are primarily stored in aboveground storage tanks (ASTs)and portable totes. There
are no underground storage tanks (USTs) located at the facility.
The Gold Bond Mount Holly facility is located approximately 2,000 feet west of the Catawba River. Based on a
review of the DEQ Stormwater Interactive Maps, the facility is located within the Catawba River Basin, which
includes the Lake Wylie Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL)for total nitrogen and phosphorus, as well as fecal
coliform. The Catawba River is considered an impaired water, as listed in the 2022 North Carolina Final 303(d)
list, specifically for PCB Fish Tissue Advisory in the river section—From Mountain Island Dam to Interstate
Highway 85 Bridge at Belmont.

GB Mount Holly NG SWPPP_Final_Jun 2024 2

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
2.3 Storm Water Drainage System
Stormwater runoff from the facility is routed through three outfalls. Outfalls 1 A and 1 B are located on the South
side of the facility at the discharge of the extended wetland detention basin #1 (Basin #1). Outfall 1A discharges
on the south side of the basin, and Outfall 1 B discharges east-southeast of the basin. Drainage from the
northwest, west and south sides of the facility flow toward Basin #1. Outfall 2 is located on the East side of the
facility at the discharge of extended wetland detention basin #2 (Basin #2). Drainage from the north, northeast
and east sides of the facility flow toward Basin #2. Discharge from these outfalls eventually leads to the Catawba
River. Stormwater runoff from the building roofs is captured in rain gutters and discharged through a series of rain
spouts, located at various points along the perimeter of each building, to asphalt paved areas. Then, the
stormwater flows into the storm drains in the paved areas that lead to the extended wetland detention basins. The
stormwater drainage flow of the site is shown on Figure 2.
Stormwater is conveyed from the site by a combination of sheet flow and underground sewer piping. Paved
areas at the facility are sloped to route run-off into storm drains. In the event of a release, paved and unpaved
areas within the plant would direct the flow primarily toward two extended wetland detention ponds. A volume of
up to 55,000 gallons could be stored in each detention pond.
Pollution Prevention Team
3.1 Pollution Prevention Team
Table 3-1, below, identifies storm water pollution prevention team members and their associated responsibilities
for developing and implementing the SWPPP. The Plan Manager/Team Leader and all members of the team
are responsible for reducing storm water pollution at the facility.
The Team Leader(Plant Manager) is responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and
revision of the SWPPP.
The team members are responsible not only for assisting the Team Leader in plan implementation but for
maintaining and revising the plan, as required. Team members have broad areas of expertise and share
knowledge to collectively decide what works best for the facility. Specific duties of each member are as follows:
• Plan Manager/Team Leader-The Plant Manager assumes the role as the Team Leader. This
individual has been identified as the key person onsite who is most familiar with the facility and its
operations. As leader of the team, he/she is responsible for providing adequate structure and direction to
the facility's entire storm water management program. The primary alternate for the Pollution Prevention
Team Leader is the EHS Manager.
• Recordkeeper-The EHS Manager is the recordkeeper for the plan. This individual is familiar with the
storm water controls onsite. Therefore, this person is in the position to keep records and gather reports of
all storm water-related activities. The person is also responsible for being additional points of contact for
those outside the facility who may need to discuss aspects of the facility's SWPPP (e.g., regulatory
officials). Recordkeeping is conducted in accordance with Section 6.3 of this SWPPP.

GB Mount Holly NG SWPPP_Final_Jun 2024 3

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
• Employee Trainer-The EHS Manager serves as the SWPPP Employee Trainer. Since his/her normal
duties include training employees on safety procedures, quality management, and operating procedures,
he/she is best-qualified to conduct the training concerning facility management of storm water in
accordance with Section 5.4.4 of this SWPPP.
• Site Inspectors -The Plant Engineer or designee will be responsible for making routine visual
inspections of the various operational and support areas in accordance with Section 5.4.3 of this SWPPP.
Inspections identify items or activities that may introduce contaminants to stormwater. The site inspectors
will advise the Plan Manager regarding identification of pollutant sources and risks, and decision-making
on appropriate BMPs. The actual implementation of the recommended BMPs and evaluating the
effectiveness of the plan will be performed jointly by all team members.

• truck trailer storage areas, and
• dust or particulate generating and control processes.
Material and pollutants that may contribute to storm water runoff are gypsum, diesel fuel, oils and grease,
hydraulic fluid, transformer oil, sediment, starch and potash stored outside the manufacturing building. A
description of each of the potential pollutant sources and potential pollutants is presented in Section 4.5 and
Table 1.
4.3 Significant Spills and Leaks
The General Permit requires documentation of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred in facility
areas exposed to precipitation or runoff and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts. The list of spills
and leaks must be updated as appropriate. Significant spills include, but are not limited to, releases of oil or
hazardous substances in excess of reportable quantities.
The General Permit requires documentation of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred in facility
areas exposed to precipitation or runoff and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts. The list of spills
and leaks must be updated as appropriate. Significant spills include, but are not limited to, releases of oil or
hazardous substances in excess of reportable quantities.
No significant spills have occurred at the facility in the last three years. An example table for recording significant
spills or leaks is included as Appendix B.
4.4 Identification of Non-Stormwater Discharges
On an annual basis, the facility must evaluate all stormwater outfalls for the presence of non-stormwater
discharges. If non-stormwater discharges are present, the facility must identify the source and record whether the
discharge is otherwise permitted by rule or a different permit. The facility must evaluate the environmental
significance of the non-stormwater discharges and include a summary written record and certification statement.
www.arcadis.com
GB Mount Holly NG SWPPP_Final_Jun 2024 6

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
The certification statement and summary written record shall be retained with the SWPPP, and shall be dated and
signed in accordance with the requirements of the General Permit.
The completed certification of non-stormwater discharge assessment, along with a blank form, is included in
Appendix C.
Non-stormwater discharges which shall be allowed in the stormwater conveyance system include:
• All other discharges that are authorized by a non-stormwater NPDES permit.
• Uncontaminated groundwater, foundation drains, air-conditioner condensate without added chemicals,
springs, discharges of uncontaminated potable water, waterline and fire hydrant flushings, water from
footing drains, irrigation waters, flows from riparian habitats and wetlands.
• Discharges resulting from firefighting, or emergency shower or eye wash as a result of use in the event of
an emergency.
4.5 Summary of Potential Pollutant Sources
Specific areas of pollutant sources identified at the plant that pose the greatest risk to impacting stormwater are
discussed in this section and Table 1, and also shown on Figure 2.
4.5.1 Gypsum Storage Pile
Gypsum used in the manufacturing process is received by trucks and staged outside in an open bulk pile located
on the east side of the facility. The gypsum is transferred into the plant or storage dome using a loader and
conveyor system for use in the manufacturing process.
A rip rap drainage ditch surrounds the pile, except along a portion of the west and southwest sides to allow
access to the pile. The rip rap ditch controls runoff from the pile and discharges to Basin#2. Potential pollutants
associated with storm water runoff from the uncovered bulk gypsum storage pile primarily include total suspended
solids.
4.5.2 Waste Wallboard Storage/Staging Area, Storage Dome, Reclaim
Bunker and Truck Wash
Off-spec wallboard, generated during processing activities, is temporarily staged in the off-spec wallboard storage
area inside the facility building at the north end. The off-spec wallboard is then transferred with a loader to the
storage dome to be recycled back into the manufacturing process. The off-spec wallboard storage area is open
on one side to allow loader access and transfer of the off-spec wallboard to the storage dome. Off-spec
wallboard dispersion that may occur during transfer activities is swept back into the storage area. The potential
exists for runoff from off-spec wallboard to come into contact with storm water during a precipitation event.
The dome area next to the storage pile area stores reclaimed wallboard that is to be reused in the process. The
dome area is covered and drains toward Basin#1.
A reclaim storage bunker was added in late 2019 to store off-spec reclaimed wallboard. Reclaimed wallboard is
received from the facility building and loaded into the bunker. The bunker consists of an area bermed on three
sides by concrete blocks. There is one open side (to the south/southeast)to allow loader access and transfer of
off-spec wallboard in and out of the bunker. Off-spec wallboard dispersion that may occur during transfer activities
www.arcadis.com
GB Mount Holly NC SWPPP_Final_Jun 2024 7

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
is swept back into the bunker area. The potential exists for runoff from off-spec wallboard to come into contact
with storm water during a precipitation event.
The truck wash area next to the storage dome is a self-contained wash area. No detergents are used. Wash
water used is collected within the wash area and used again. Currently, the truck wash area is not operational and
is in need of repairs. The facility is assessing this area to determine an appropriate schedule for repairs/
upgrades. The truck wash is planned to be operational by the end of 2024. In the interim, the facility maintains a
sweeper that cleans the facility access roads on a daily basis, from the truck wash area north to Route 273.
4.5.3 Fuel / Oil Storage ASTs
The facility has several outside ASTs containing diesel fuel. The ASTs are identified below in Table 4-1.
Table 4-1. Fuel/Oil Storage ASTs
50,000 (2) Empty, not in service 7Northeastde of plant
525 Diesel fuel de of plant(contractor)
60 Diesel fuel Northeast side of plant
495 Diesel fuel East side, storage pile area
1,000 Diesel fuel East side, storage pile area
300 Used oil South side of plant
172 Diesel fuel West side of plant
509 Diesel fuel West side, fire pumphouse
500 Diesel fuel South end of facility (temporary, contractor)
200 Diesel fuel South end of facility (temporary, contractor)
ASTs are double-walled steel tanks, except for the pumphouse AST, which is a steel tank located inside the
pumphouse within a concrete containment area. Therefore, fuel containment areas do not collect rainwater.
Products are delivered to the facility via tank truck and are gauged before and after the transfer of the product to
the ASTs. Personnel are present during transfer activities and spill kits are located in the vicinity of the AST
areas.
4.5.4 Bulk Liquids Unloading Area
Liquid process materials (e.g., soap, dispersant) are brought to the bulk storage tanks located inside on the
southeast side of the manufacturing building. Potential for release would include spills from the delivery truck.
Gold Bond requires drivers to stay with the truck at all times during operation, follow loading/unloading procedures
and have spill response equipment readily accessible.
4.5.5 Loading and Unloading Areas
Raw materials are delivered to the facility by truck in sealed containers. The raw materials are primarily unloaded
at the facility's loading/unloading docks located on the southeast side of the facility. The delivery trucks back into
the building loading dock area, minimizing outside exposure during transfer activities. From the loading dock, the
www.arcadis.com
GB Mount Holly NG SWPPP_Final_Jun 2024 8

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
material is moved inside the building to the storage areas. Since the management of raw materials is primarily
inside the main building, there is little potential for the material to come into contact with precipitation. Although
very minimal, the potential exists for raw material to enter the storm water system in the unlikely event of
container rupture and spilling outside the unloading dock area.
Finished wallboard is moved from the processing area to the product warehouse located inside the building.
Product is then loaded onto trucks at the shipping loading area for offsite shipment. Product loading activities
occur at a covered loading dock. Since finished parts are solid materials, minimal potential for storm water impact
exists in the event product is dropped from the loading area outside the building.
4.5.6 Transformers
The facility contains several pad-mounted oil-filled transformers at various outdoor locations that are owned,
operated, and maintained by Gold Bond. A utility substation is also located on the south side of the facility, and is
owned, operated, and maintained by the local utility. The potential exists for transformer oil to come into contact
with storm water from a transformer leak.
4.5.7 Equipment Storage
Various equipment (e.g., piping, machine parts, pallets) are temporarily stored on the southeast side of the facility.
Any equipment is cleaned inside the building prior to storage outside and removal offsite.
4.5.8 Truck Trailer Storage and Parking Areas
Truck trailers are stored outside on the east side of the manufacturing building. Trailers are maintained clean and
the area is not expected to be a source of pollutants.
4.5.9 Chillers
Facility chillers are located outside on the southwest side of the manufacturing building, near the front office. The
chillers are located within a concrete-bermed area and use a 20% glycol-water mixture. Rainwater that
accumulates in the bermed area is inspected for contamination. If any contamination is observed, the liquid is
pumped out by an outside contractor for disposal offsite.
4.5.10 Storage Silos
The facility maintains two dry storage silos (each approximately 14,000 cubic feet)on the southeast side of the
facility along the railroad tracks. Each silo is fully enclosed. One silo stores potash and the other silo stores
starch. Materials are received by railcar, and then transferred from the silos to the manufacturing building via
piping. There is potential exposure to stormwater during transfer activities.
4.5.11 Waste / Trash Containers and Compactor
There are several waste dumpsters located outside on the southeast side of the facility along the railroad tracks.
The containers primarily collect general trash materials. The containers are used on almost a continuous basis so
personnel are present to help keep this area clean.
www.arcadis.com
GB Mount Holly NC SWPPP_Final_Jun 2024 9

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
A trash compactor is also located on the southeast side of the building at the loading docks. The compactor is a
fully enclosed unit and contains a hydraulic oil reservoir to power the equipment. The unit is regularly maintained
at the facility and the area is frequented by personnel, however, the potential for pollutants exists from leaks from
the hydraulic reservoir, which is situated over the loading dock trench drain. The facility is evaluating this area
and formulating a plan to potentially relocate the hydraulic unit inside the building.
4.5.12 Dust or Particulate Generating and Control Processes
The facility has several baghouses located inside the mill building on the southwest side of the plant and are not
exposed to stormwater. There are eleven baghouses in total —two per each Imp Mill (#1, #2, #3), totaling six
baghouses; two baghouses in the cage mill; and one baghouse for the BET (#1, #2, #3), totaling 3 baghouses.
The units are maintained and inspected per the facility's air permit. Baghouses are inspected daily for residual
dust and bags are changes out as needed, but at least annually. Other areas are discussed in Sections 4.5.1 and
4.5.2.
5 Stormwater Management Strategy - Measures and
Controls
The Stormwater Management Strategy contains a narrative description of the materials management practices
employed which control or minimize the stormwater exposure of significant materials, including structural and
nonstructural measures.
Pollution prevention measures and BMPs include spill prevention and response procedures, preventative
maintenance and good housekeeping, facility inspections, employee training, and other structural and/or
managerial measures that are intended to eliminate or minimize pollution to surface waters.
5.1 Secondary Containment Requirements and Records
Secondary containment is required for bulk storage of liquid materials including petroleum products, storage in
any amount of Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA)water
priority chemicals, and storage in any amount of hazardous substances, in order to prevent leaks and spills from
contaminating stormwater runoff.
Petroleum ASTs at the Gold Bond Mount Holly facility are double-walled ASTs, except the diesel fuel pumphouse
AST, which is located inside the pumphouse building within a concrete containment area. A summary of
petroleum ASTs is provided in Section 4.5.3. Other bulk chemical storage areas are contained inside the
manufacturing building. Therefore, secondary containment areas for bulk storage of liquids are not exposed to
stormwater. The facility also maintains a Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan that
addresses containment requirements for petroleum ASTs.
In the event that any new secondary containment for bulk liquids storage is exposed to stormwater in the future,
any stormwater that accumulates in the containment area would be visually observed for color, foam, outfall
staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the accumulated stormwater. Accumulated
stormwater would be released if found to be uncontaminated by any material.
www.arcadis.com
GB Mount Holly NG SWPPP_Final_Jun 2024 10

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
If needed in the future, a form for the inspection of accumulated stormwater in secondary containment areas is
provided in Appendix D.
5.2 BMP Summary
Table 1 lists the potential pollutant sources, identified in Section 4.5, the associated potential pollutants, and
associated preventative measures and BMPs to eliminate or reduce pollutant loadings to storm water.
A description and implementation of the preventative measures and BMPs are discussed in the following
sections.
5.3 Stormwater Controls
The facility uses both non-structural and structural controls to minimize or eliminate potential pollution sources.
Non-structural controls include but are not limited to spill prevention and response, preventive maintenance and
good housekeeping, facility inspections, and employee training. Structural controls include but are not limited to
catch basins, ponds or other management structures. Both non-structural and structural controls are described
below.
5.3.1 Spill Prevention and Response Procedures
The potential for leaks, spills, and other release that may be exposed to storm water are minimized through
preventative maintenance and inspections. Plant employees and materials unloading personnel are trained in
proper transfer procedures and in avoiding careless spills of materials. Secondary containment and other
containment measures are provided for outdoor fuel storage areas and transformers, which are noted on Figure
2.
Spill prevention and response is implemented through the facility's SPCC Plan. Spill prevention and response
practices are administered for relevant areas of the facility. Emergency response and notification procedures are
outlined in the SPCC Plan. In accordance with the facility's SPCC Plan, storage tanks and containers are
routinely inspected for leaks and repaired as required. Similar spill prevention and response procedures are
applied to other liquid storage/transfer areas where there is the potential for stormwater exposure (such as the
bulk chemical unloading area).
Personnel are trained in the use of spill response kits. These kits contain items that can be used to contain and
clean up the spill or leak of any material used onsite. Items in these kits include: absorbent booms, absorbent
pads and pillows, portable containment drums, absorbent particulate material, as well as shovels, brooms, and
mops. Additional safety items may include gloves, goggles, helmets, respirators, and fire extinguishers. Spill kits
are located at the mill, the water pump house near the dome, the shipping warehouse and the supervisor's office
near the boardline. Spill prevention and response is outlined in more detail within the facility SPCC Plan. Training
is conducted annually.
In the event of a spill, the Plant Manager will provide instructions for appropriately responding to the situation. In
the event of a larger spill that cannot be adequately contained by plant personnel, an outside contractor would be
retained to respond to the incident. Internal and external notification contacts are included in the Emergency
Contact List at the front of the SWPPP. After the spill has been cleaned up, any used absorbent materials will be

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
placed in bags or drums for storage indoors and disposal offsite. The Emergency Coordinator would coordinate
and arrange for proper disposal of recovered materials in accordance with federal, state and local requirements.
SPRP personnel and summary responsibilities are provided in Appendix E, along with signed and dated
acknowledgement in which staff members accept responsibilities for the SPRP. A responsible person from the
SPRP personnel team will be on-site at all times during facility operations that have potential to contaminate
stormwater runoff through spills or exposure of materials associated with the facility operations.
No significant spills (such as releases of oil or hazardous substances in excess of reportable quantities) have
occurred at the facility in the last three years. An example table for recording significant spills or leaks is included
as Appendix B. This list must be updated on an annual basis.
5.3.. Solvent Management Plan
A Solvent Management Plan (SMP) is included in this section, which includes an annually updated and quantified
inventory of solvents (Table 5-1 below) present on site during the previous three years; a narrative description of
the facility locations and uses of solvents; the method of disposal, including quantities disposed on-site and off-
site; and the management procedures and engineering measures for assuring that solvents do not spill or leak
into stormwater.
Table 5-1 Solvents Inventory
PB Blaster 8 oz cans, 10— 12 cans Flammable storage cabinet inside Maintenance
Shop
Degreaser 8 oz cans, 10— 12 cans Flammable storage cabinet inside Maintenance
Shop
Acetone 1 quart can, 4-6 cans Flammable storage cabinet inside Maintenance
Shop
WD40 15 oz cans, 8-10 cans Flammable storage cabinet inside Maintenance
Shop
QD Contact Cleaner 11 oz cans, 10— 12 cans Flammable storage cabinet inside Maintenance
Shop
All solvents are stored indoors in the maintenance shop in a flammable storage cabinet. PB blaster and degreaser
are used to help with loosening fasteners or bolts. Acetone is used to help with removing adhesives, oil stains,
and paint. WD40 is used to help with dissolving grease and oil on various parts. QD Contact Cleaner is used to
help with cleaning sensitive electronics. All solvents are used indoors.
Solvents are normally used until the containers are empty. Used solvent cans are placed in a can puncturing
device inside the facility to empty cans. Used solvent is collected in a 55-gallon drum inside the building and then
characterized and picked up by vendor for disposal offsite in accordance with federal and state regulations. Empty
cans are then placed in a scrap metal hopper inside the plant. The metal hopper is then dumped into a scrap
metal dumpster outside with no residual liquids. The dumpster is then picked up when full by an outside vendor
for recycling, typically once a month.
www.arcadis.com
GB Mount Holly NG SWPPP_Final_Jun 2024 12

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
Solvents are brought onsite in sealed packaging via trucks and unloaded at the loading dock area with no
exposure to stormwater. All solvents are stored and used indoors. Solvent containers are maintained closed
when not in use and stored inside a flammable storage cabinet. Any spills or leaks from containers are promptly
cleaned up. Waste materials are placed in a hopper inside the plant and then transferred to a scrap metal
dumpster outside prior to pick up and removal offsite.
The General Permit requires a signed certification statement be included with each discharge monitoring report.
See certification statement in Appendix G.
5.3.3 Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program
A good preventive maintenance and housekeeping program includes a schedule of routine inspections, testing
and cleaning to prevent equipment failures and deterioration and to also reduce the possibility of accidental spills
and stormwater pollution. A preventive maintenance program includes upkeep and maintenance of storm water
management devices, as well as identification and inspection of equipment, systems, and facility areas that could
contribute to storm water contamination in event of failure or malfunction. To achieve the objectives of the
SWPPP, routine preventive maintenance activities are performed by the skilled tradesmen, equipment operators,
and/or engineers.
Good housekeeping measures are maintained at all of the listed source areas and throughout the facility. The
source areas are required to be swept on a routine basis to collect residual solids that may accumulate in the
source areas. Unexpected leaks or spills of materials other than solids will be cleaned up immediately with
supplied spill kits or absorbents, as appropriate. Onsite personnel will monitor the delivery and transfer of fuel.
In the event of a spill, emergency response procedures outlined in the facility SPCC Plan will be initiated to
contain a spill and minimize the potential for impact to the surface waters in the vicinity.
After the spill has been cleaned up, any used absorbent materials will be placed in bags or drums for storage
indoors and disposal offsite. Similarly, any spent lubricants or fuels will be placed in drums for storage indoors
and recylcling or disposal offsite The Emergency Coordinator would coordinate and arrange for proper disposal of
recovered materials and spent oils or fuels in accordance with federal, state and local requirements.
The preventive maintenance and good housekeeping program covers the following items:
• inspection and maintenance of the gypsum conveyor system;
• AST system maintenance and inspections as indicated in the facility SPCC Plan, including spill response
equipment;
• clean-out stormwater conveyances/outfalls, as appropriate.
• routine sweeping of process and storage areas;
• regular pickup and disposal of garbage and debris;
• routine outside inspection of loading docks and storage areas;
• proper material container storage practices;
• identification and labeling of all chemical substances;
• disposal of old equipment and used chemicals; and
• collection and pickup of solid and hazardous wastes.
www.arcadis.com
GB Mount Holly NC SWPPP_Final_Jun 2024 13

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
Facility inspections must be conducted at least quarterly, however, Gold Bond inspects more frequently as
provided in the next section.
5.3.4 Facility Inspections
The General Permit requires quarterly inspections (January-March, April-June, July-September, October-
December). Gold Bond conducts visual inspections monthly covering potential pollutant areas exposed to storm
water as listed in Section 4.5. The inspections are generally performed with SPCC inspections and documented
including follow-up procedures if determined necessary. An example inspection form is included in Appendix D.
Completed inspection forms are maintained with this plan.
Routine visual inspections are closely related to both good housekeeping and preventative maintenance,
identifying anything that needs to be replaced, repaired, or added to the area in order to avoid exposure of
stormwater to contaminants.
Equipment, storage and unloading areas are also subject to regular maintenance and inspection. Fuel storage
areas are inspected in accordance with the facility SPCC Plan. Containment areas are checked for accumulated
stormwater following precipitation events.
5.3.5 Employee Training
Each member of the pollution prevention team will undergo an orientation familiarizing them with the intent and
goals of the SWPPP. The training involves general stormwater awareness, the purpose of the SWPPP, the
potential pollutant source areas onsite and related best management practices (spill response procedures, good
housekeeping, preventative maintenance, material management and inspections), proper monitoring and
reporting procedures, unauthorized discharges, and identifying maintenance needs and corrective actions.
Training also covers used oil management, spent solvent management, secondary containment releases, fueling
procedures, process water versus stormwater, and used battery management.
Routine sessions that allow the team members to exchange ideas on how to reduce the potential storm water
contamination from the facility will be held, as needed, between SWPPP team members. In addition, other plant
employees will be given instructions to regularly check operating equipment and tanks for leaking or loose
connections and to repair them as required. Employees are also given procedures to follow in the event of a spill
or leak onsite. It is intended that personnel will have a heightened sense of awareness concerning environmental
hazards and potential pollutant sources.
SWPPP training is conducted annually and provided by the facility's EHS Manager. A training outline and record
is provided in Appendix F.
5.3.6 Structural BMPs
Typical structural controls are designed to treat, divert, or retain storm water runoff. They may require more
frequent inspection and maintenance. Structural controls include measures such as storm sewer drains, storm
water detention basins, vegetated swales, ditches, infiltration of runoff, and secondary containment systems.
www.arcadis.com
GB Mount Holly NC SWPPP_Final_Jun 2024 14

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
5.3.6.1 Storm Sewer Drains
Figure 2 shows the storm sewer drains that are present at the facility, including those along the parking areas
east and south of the manufacturing building and those near the gypsum storage/dome area. Grates covering the
storm drain inlets prevent large objects (greater than approximately 2 inches in diameter)from entering the
subsurface conveyance system. Stormwater that enters the subsurface conveyance system is conveyed to one
of the two extended wetlands detention basins.
5.3.6.2 Extended Wetlands Detention Basins
The facility contains two extended wetlands detention basins for sediment control and natural filtration. Basin 1 is
located on the south side of the property and receives drainage from the south side of the manufacturing building
area and gypsum storage dome area. There are two discharge points associated with Basin 1. Outfall 1A
discharges on the south side of the basin, and Outfall 1 B discharges east-southeast of the basin. Basin 2 is
located on the east side of the property and receives drainage from the east side of the manufacturing building
area and north side of the gypsum storage area. The outlet of Basin 2 discharges to a riprap spillway whose exit
is Outfall 2.
The General Permit indicates that stormwater control measures, such as the basins, must be cleaned out when
sediment storage capacity equals or exceeds 50 percent of the design sediment volume or if visible sedimentation
is leaving the property.
The facility will take corrective actions if self-inspections identify a need for corrective actions, a facility fails to
perform satisfactorily, or a facility creates nuisance conditions.
Corrective actions include, but are not limited to: maintenance, modifications, or additions to existing control
measures, the construction of additional or replacement treatment or disposal facilities, or implementation of new
BMPs. Corrective actions must be completed as soon as possible considering adverse weather and site
conditions.
5.3.6.3 Vegetated Swales, Ditches and Natural Depressions
Stormwater swales/ditches are located along the west and northeast sides of the manufacturing building. There
are also various vegetated natural depressions on the west and south sides of the manufacturing building. A
riprap drainage ditch also surrounds the majority of the gypsum storage pile area, and there are additional riprap
ditches south of the gypsum storage dome area. These stormwater controls help with sediment control, promote
natural infiltration, and reduce the amount and flow velocity of stormwater runoff.
5.3.6.4 Overhands or Covers
Partial or total covering of materials, equipment, or process operations prevents contact of potential pollutants
with stormwater. Covering may be temporary such as with a tarpaulin, or it may be permanent. Permanent
covers may include a roof only or complete enclosure in a building with walls and roof.
The off-spec wallboard staging area located at the north end of the manufacturing building is roofed, providing
protection from stormwater exposure.
www.arcadis.com
GB Mount Holly NG SWPPP_Final_Jun 2024 15

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
5.3.6.5 Secondary Containment Structures
Fuel storage tanks located outside are enclosed double-walled tanks where no rainwater can accumulate in the
containment areas. The diesel fuel pumphouse AST is located inside the pumphouse building within a concrete
containment area. Other bulk chemical storage areas are contained inside the manufacturing building.
The reclaim bunker is bermed on three sides to contain material within the bunker. There is one open side to
allow for loader access and transfer of materials. Good housekeeping and inspections are performed at the
bunker to maintain reclaimed material within the bunker area.
5.3.6.6 BMPs for Vehicle Maintenance Activities
Vehicle maintenance activities such as repairs are conducted inside the building. Vehicle fueling is conducted
outdoors at fuel storage tanks and BMPs are discussed in Section 4.5.3.
The truck wash area is described further in Section 4.5.2.
6 Monitoring
The General Permit discusses quantitative and qualitative monitoring requirements of stormwater. Each is
described below.
6.1 Analytical Monitoring
The facility performs baseline sampling of all stormwater discharge outfalls and/or authorized representative
discharge outfalls.
Grab samples are collected, analyzed, and reported for the following parameters:
• Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and
• pH.
In addition, grab samples must be analyzed for Non-Polar Oil & Grease in vehicle or equipment maintenance
areas in which more than 55 gallons of new motor oil and/or hydraulic oil per month is used when averaged over
the calendar year. The NGC Gold Bond Mount Holly facility does not perform vehicle and/or equipment
maintenance outside, or use more than 55 gallons of new motor oil and/or hydraulic oil per month on average for
the year. Therefore, analytical monitoring for oil &grease is not required. The average monthly usage of new
motor and hydraulic oil used for vehicle maintenance at the facility should be tracked and recorded.
The total rainfall amount for each sampling event is recorded in inches. Total rainfall must be determined from an
on-site rain gauge or a regional rain gauge located within one (1) mile of the facility.
Samples are collected from four separate monitoring periods per year. A minimum of thirty (30)days must
separate any two sampling events during the following periods:
• January 1 — March 31
• April 1 —June 30
• July 1 —September 30.
• October 1 — December 31

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
Analytic results for each parameter are compared to the benchmark values for the appropriate receiving stream
classification as provided in Table 6-1. An exceedance of a benchmark value is not a permit violation; however,
failure to respond in accordance with E-2(b) below is a permit violation.

Facility
Sample Collection
Outfall monitoring efforts must begin with the first measurable storm event in the monitoring period that occurs
during the facility's normal operating hours.
Sampling is not required to be performed during adverse weather conditions.
Samples collected will be characteristic of the volume and nature of the permitted discharge.
Grab samples are collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge from an outfall and continue until all outfalls
that are discharging have been sampled.
Outfalls that are not sampled during the first measurable storm event in the monitoring period must be sampled
during the next measurable storm event in the monitoring period until a sample has been collected.
If, during the entire monitoring period, there is no discharge from an outfall during any measurable storm event
then the facility must:
• Report"No Discharge" in the DMR,
• Note "No Discharge" in the SWPPP, and
• Submit the DMR within 30 days after the end of the monitoring period.
Lack of a discharge from an outfall for the monitoring period does not constitute failure to monitor as long as the
above permit conditions are met.
If the sampled storm event coincides with a known non-stormwater discharge that is deemed permitted under 15A
NCAC 02 .0106, then this shall be noted on the DMR.
Analytical results within the monitoring period shall be submitted no later than 30 days from the date the facility
receives all the sampling results. Samples analyzed in accordance with the terms of the General Permit are
recorded on DMR forms provided by DELMR. See Appendix G for DMR forms and instructions.
Sampling Locations
www.arcadis.com
GB Mount Holly NG SWPPP_Final_Jun 2024 17

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
Samples are collected at all stormwater discharge outfalls (SDO)that discharge stormwater associated with
industrial activity. If DEMLR has issued a representative outfall status approval letter, then the permittee shall
collect samples from all SDOs in accordance with the SDO approval letter.
All samples are taken before the discharge joins or is diluted by any other waste stream, body of water, or
substance.
Monitoring points as specified in the General Permit cannot be changed without written notification to and
approval by DEMLR.
Tiered Responses
An exceedance of any benchmark value requires a tiered response for that outfall. A single exceedance of a
benchmark value requires a Tier One response for that outfall (see Section E-6 of General Permit). Two
benchmark value exceedances in a row requires a Tier Two response for that outfall (see Section E-7 of General
Permit). Four benchmark exceedances for a parameter within the five (5)year permit cycle requires a Tier Three
response for that outfall (see Section E-8 of General Permit). For purposes of benchmark comparison and Tiered
response actions, the permittee must use the analytical results from the first sample with valid results.
6.2 Qualitative Monitoring
Qualitative monitoring is used to evaluate the effectiveness of the SWPPP and assess new sources of stormwater
pollution. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls must be performed during a measurable storm event (i.e.,
an event that results in an actual discharge from the permitted outfall).
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall associated with industrial activity,
unless representative outfall status has been approved in writing by DEMLR.
Visual inspections must be performed concurrent with required analytical monitoring (quarterly).
Visual inspections are not required to be performed outside of the facility's normal operating hours.
Visual inspections must include observations of the following characteristics:
• Color
• Odor
• Clarity
• Floating solids
• Suspended Solids
• Foam
• Oil Sheen
• Deposition at or immediately below the outfall
• Erosion at or immediately below the outfall, and
• Other obvious indicators of stormwater pollution.
The NCDEQ Stormwater Discharge Outfall (SDO) Qualitative Monitoring Report form provided in Appendix G is
used to complete this monitoring. A SDO Guidance document is also included in this appendix.

GB Mount Holly NG SWPPP_Final_Jun 2024 18

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SWPPP and recorded on
the Qualitative Monitoring Report. In the event an atypical condition is noted at a stormwater discharge outfall, the
permittee must document the suspected cause of the condition and any actions taken in response to the
discovery.
If qualitative monitoring indicates that existing stormwater BMPs are ineffective, or that significant stormwater
contamination is present, the facility must investigate potential causes, evaluate the feasibility of corrective
actions, and implement those corrective actions within 60 days. A written record of the facility's investigation,
evaluation, and response actions must be kept in the SWPPP.
6.2.1 Monitoring Reporting Requirements
The monitoring year is from January 1 to December 31 of each calendar year. Table 6-2 below outlines permit
reporting requirements.

Total Event Precipitation(inches):
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.

Guidance for Rating Stormwater Discharge
This supplement is intended only as a guide for rating visually observed parameters on a scale of
1-5. The inspector should use best professional judgment when characterizing the quality of
stormwater discharge. Also, the pictures included here do not necessarily show stormwater
discharges but serve to illustrate the characteristics described.

Tannic Water
Water naturally high in tannins in the eastern part of North Carolina may still have low amounts
of suspended solids and high clarity but not appear"clear"because of coloration. The examples
below will help rate discharges that must be observed in tannic waters.
Clear tannic water may look like tea or coffee,but waters that look more "milky" or like
"chocolate milk"have less clarity and higher suspended solids.

assistance is greatly appreciated. The site visit and file review revealed that the subject facility is covered
by NPDES Stormwater General Permit NCG070000 under Certificate of Coverage NCG070175. Permit
coverage authorizes the discharge of stormwater from the facility to receiving waters designated as the
Catawba River, class WS-IV;CA waters in the Catawba River Basin.
As a result of the site inspection, the following deficiencies are noted:
• The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) has not been reviewed on an annual basis.
• Illicit(non-stormwater) discharge monitoring has not occurred.
• Analytical monitoring has not occurred.
0 A solvent management plan has not been prepared.
Other Observations
The SWPPP site map does not clarify that all storm drains, ditches and roof drains that contain
water exposed to industrial activity discharge to one of the existing known outfalls.

Inspection Date: 05/22/2024 Inspection Type:Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
A compliance evaluation inspection was conducted at the facility. Adam Lynch and Mike Thompson were present
representing the facility.
Review of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)was last documented in November of 2021. Review of the
SWPPP is required annually.
The SWPPP contains a site map however it was not clear that all storm drains travel to one of the facilitys known outfalls.
Facility personnel also could not verify that roof drainage reaches one of the known outfalls.
The SWPPP contains a Good Housekeeping section, however houskeeping at the facility should be improved. Powdery
material was observed outside of roll up doors and coating much of the roadways internal to the facility. The facility operates
a street sweeper to minimize this issue.
The SWPPP does not have a Solvent Management Plan section. This is a requirement of the permit.
Illicit(non-stormwater) discharge monitoring has not occurred. Illicit discharge monitoring is required annually.
Analytical monitoring has not occurred. Analytical monitoring is required at each outfall on a quarterly basis. The facility has
not registered to submit discharge monitoring reports via e-DMR.
The facility receives dry material (gypsum) by truck and the trucks are required to go through a tire wash prior to exiting the
facility. This is listed as one of the stormwater Best Management Practices. NC DEQ received a complaint about trucks
dropping material onto the nearby roadways. At the time of this inspection, the tire wash was not operational. Facility
personnel indicated that the tire wash is currently being repaired/replaced and that the existing tire wash collapsed. No firm
date for when the tire wash would be active again was available. Facility personnel speculated that it would be operational
soon.
The outfalls were observed during this inspection. Two of the outfalls were slightly difficult to access due to overgrowth of
weeds and bushes. Clear access to the outfalls should be maintained.
