See Attached Supplemental Information EPA Form 3510-2F Page 13 Materials Stored (as required per EPA Form 2f—Section 4.2) Materials are stored in bulk storage tanks and in a variety of portable container types as described in the following sections. Product, intermediate,raw material, and wastewater storage tanks are located in numerous diked tank farms throughout the site. The main active process tank farm areas are in Plant 3(two adjacent diked tank farms),Plant 4(two adjacent diked tanks farms)and the Plant 5 tank farm area. There are also dedicated storage areas for ethylene oxide(EO)and propylene oxide(PO)and a large diked area for the WWTP open-top equalization tanks. Plant 1 and Plant 4"East"also have diked tank farm areas, but in each of these areas there is only one tank physically remaining and in both cases the tank is out of service. Area 190 has a diked tank farm area as well, but it is currently in limited use primarily associated with railcar loading/unloading in support of Plant 5 operations. There are six petroleum- based fuel storage tanks located throughout the site;these are not in diked areas but the tanks are double-walled and the gasoline tank is inside of curbing. Solid and liquid materials are stored in a variety of container types.The most common are 275-gallon totes and 55-gallon drums.There are also other drum sizes as well as several types of bags, supersacks, and buckets. Container storage locations can be virtually anywhere on site,the most common being inside the Warehouse, inside or outside of any of the production buildings(Plant 3, Plant 4, Plant 5), and outside in designated containment areas(e.g., Plant 4 storage area). Materials in bags or other containers that could be damaged by rain are not stored outside. Hazardous wastes are stored separately in designated areas. Materials are loaded into and/or unloaded from rail cars,tank trucks,and trailers.There are three rail car loading/unloading areas:Area 190, Plant 4,and EO/PO.There are six tank truck loading areas:Plant 1, Plant 3, Plant 4, Plant 4 East,Plant 5, and Area 190.All of these areas utilize loading racks designed for that purpose.The Plant 1 and Plant 4 East loading/unloading areas are no longer active. Containers are loaded into trailers at Warehouse loading docks and Plant 5 loading docks. There are more than 400 chemical raw materials and products on site. Some of the major categories include:fuels, heat transfer fluids,fatty alcohols,fatty acids,alkylphenols, EO& PO, caustic,acids, amines, phenols,formaldehyde, DEET,and biocides. Process wastewater is generated throughout the site and flows into the process sewer for biological treatment in the site wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). At the WWTP sludge is generated and stored in a roofed area prior to pickup for disposal. Detailed lists of individual chemicals handled onsite are provided in the site's annual Tier 2 report.

Records of the form are saved on site. In the majority of inspections operators documented that the parameter was either"good"or"not detected"or"clear"or some other terminology indicating no concerns were identified. In the table below,those instances where an item of concern or other atypical,a note was made. Otherwise the table simply indicates"no concerns noted".

The BM Ps have been selected to prevent stormwater pollution by stressing the importance of stormwater management and employee awareness of potential sources. Structural Controls The MHW facility has constructed several concrete retention basins positioned between plant process areas and the river. Drainage from each stormwater basin is controlled by manual valves that are normally kept closed. Only WWTP employees are authorized to open these valves and release accumulated stormwater. Before releasing any stormwater, WWTP personnel follow the facility formal written procedures and visually observe the water for color, foam, staining, sheens, and evidence of dry weather flow. Records of each inspection and stormwater release are documented. The basins are described as follows: > An approximate 104,000-gallon concrete retention basin was constructed east of Plant 1 in 2013- 2014.Collected material can either be transferred to WWTP from this basin (if there is evidence of contamination), or discharged through Outfall 001. The discharge valve in the basin is kept closed and any accumulated stormwater is inspected prior to release to Outfall 001. > A concrete retention basin with an approximate capacity of 90,000-gallon is located east of Plant S. Collected material could either be transferred to WWTP from this basin, or discharged through Outfall 006. The discharge valve in the basin is kept closed and any accumulated stormwater is inspected prior to release to Outfall 006. > A stormwater retention pond with an approximate capacity of 24,000-gallons is located east of Plant 1 and Plant priorto Outfall 003. > A concrete stormwater retention wall was constructed east of the rail unloading/loading station that has an approximate capacity of 47,500-gallons. If collected stormwater is released, it would be discharged through Outfall 004. > The site maintains checklist to verify valve positioning in the retention basins. Containment curbing is provided for most of the site for additional protection in areas having the greatest risk of loss of containment. As shown on Figure A-2 there are"Spill Control Areas" in Plant 3 and Plant 4 as well as an area near the Catawba River in the vicinity of Plant 1. In Plant 5,a sump collects stormwater and standard procedure is to pump stormwater initially collected to the WWTP for treatment after which this stormwater then flows to the concrete retention basin associated with Outfall#6. Additionally, secondary containment(a collection pit) is provided for the truck scale in the event a leak occurred. Secondary Containment Secondary containment is provided for the bulk storage of liquid materials and hazardous substances. Bulk storage areas have adequate secondary containment.Containment areas are either pumped to the industrial sewer or drained to the stormwater sewer. Drainage to the stormwater sewer is controlled by manual valves that are normally kept closed.Only WWTP employees are authorized to open these valves and release accumulated stormwater. Before releasing any stormwater,WWTP personnel visually observe the water for color, foam, staining, sheens,and evidence of dry weather flow. Records of each inspection and stormwater release are documented and kept. Non-Structural Controls Non-structural stormwater BMPs used at the MHW facility include the following: > Most loading and unloading operations are conducted in paved areas that drain into the industrial sewer. > Process areas utilize written procedures for all chemical-handling tasks. > Outfalls and containment structures are inspected regularly. > All employees who work in chemical process areas receive training in operating procedures, spill prevention, and spill response. > The site has an emergency response team (ERT)on site, trained in spill containment and mitigation. > Major construction contractors are required to have an erosion control plan. > Housekeeping activities are expected and routinely conducted to keep work areas clean and organized. > Equipment is drained of all process fluids and examined before being placed in the equipment laydown yard to avoid potential stormwater contamination. Employee Training All employees whose jobs have the potential to affect stormwater are trained at least once per calendar year.Annual training includes: proper spill response and cleanup procedures, housekeeping practices, maintenance and inspection requirements, spill containment structures and operating procedures, and a review of the stormwater sewers and stormwater outfalls at the site. Additional topics of emphasis may be added to the training as needed. The ESHA Department is responsible for providing training to all affected employees.Training records are maintained on-site. Significant Changes Since August 1, 2019 (Start of Previous Permit Term) In general production operations at the MHW facility are unchanged since 2019. There have been no major construction projects nor any significant changes in operating practices or chemicals handled. In 2021,Clariant requested that what had been referred to as"Outfall#7" be removed from the list of outfalls for which monitoring is required. The basis of this request was that Outfall#7 ultimately flows into channels that release via Outfall#6 and that these channels are under Clariant's control (previously some of the property adjacent to the site was residential but, over the years Clariant has acquired ownership of these tracts of land. NCDEQ conducted an inspection on August 18,2021,and approved this request. A copy of the inspection report is attached.
