Dear Permittee:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of $1,135.61 ($1,000.00 civil
penalty -+- $135.61 enforcement costs) against Arclin USA Inc.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the Discharge Monitoring Report

Attachment A. In accordance with the maximums established by G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2), a civil penalty may be assessed
against any person who violates the terms, conditions or requirements of a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1(a).

Q - Ouantity Daily
1 000.00 TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY
$135.61 Enforcement Costs
1 135.61 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into account the Findings of Fact and
Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-282. I (b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to private property
resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the Environmental
Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
(1) Submit payment of the penalty, OR
(2) Submit a written request for remission, OR
(3) Submit a written request for an administrative hearing
Option 1: Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environmental Quality (do not inchide waiver
form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s).
Please submit payment to the attention of:
Wastewater Branch
Division of Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617

Option 2: Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification for such
request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed below as they may
relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper
procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in
the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing,
such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and
agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you
believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed below.
In determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 14313-282.1(b) was wrongfully
applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. The
Director of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of
your remission request. The response will provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and
provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part of the
original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and
thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission, ,you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission of Civil Penalties,
Waiver of Right to an.Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form within thirty (30) days of receipt of this
notice. The Division of Water Resources also requests that you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for
Remission Request."
Both forms should be submitted to the following address:
Wastewater Branch
Division of Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617

Option 3: File a petition for an administrative hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings:
If you wish to contest any statement in the attached assessment document you must file a petition for an administrative
hearing. You may obtain the petition form from the Office of Administrative Hearings. You must file the petition with
the Office of Administrative Hearings within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. A petition is considered filed
when it is received in the Office of Administrative Hearings during normal office hours. The Office of Administrative
Hearings accepts filings Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., except for official state
holidays. The petition may be filed by facsimile (fax) or electronic mail by an attached file (with restrictions) - provided
the signed original, one (1) copy and a filing fee (if a filing fee is required by NCGS §15013-23.2) is received in the
Office of Administrative Hearings within seven (7) business days following the faxed or electronic transmission. You

Mr. William F. Lane, General Counsel
Department of Environmental Quality
1601 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1601
Please indicate the case number (as found on page one of this letter) on the petition.
Failure to exercise one of the options above within thirty (30) days of receipt of this letter, as evidenced by an internal
dateitime received stamp (not a postmark), will result in this matter being referred to the Attorney General's Office for
collection of the penalty through a civil action. Please be advised that additional penalties may be assessed for violations
that occur after the review period of this assessment.

RE: Response to revised Notice of Violation — Intent to Assess Civil Penalty
NOV-2024-LV-0448
Arclin USA, LLC
NPDES Permit Number NC0000892
Chatham County
Dear Ms. Manuel:
The following is in response to the above referenced revised Notice of Violation/Intent to Issue
Civil Penalty (NOV) letter received at site via e-mail on July 24, 2024, originally received at site
on June 6, 2024, with Arclin response on June 14, 2024. The following is an update on site
waste water treatment plant (WWTP) performance in response to upset condition reported to
Kevin Fowler at NC DEQ on March 7, 2024.
Arclin's continuing investigation, monitoring and response actions due to the upset were
presented to NC DEQ during site visit on April 10th, and in follow-up communication on May 1611,
2024. As discussed with DEQ, unusually low ambient temperatures during that period cause an
upset in the WWTP that significantly reduced biological activity, resulting in elevated BOD
results.
Arclin took immediate action upon discovery of the upset condition and continues to invest labor
and economic resources to address return to normal operations, such as:
- Addition of municipal mixed liquor;
- Contracting waste water treatment consultant to aid in initial remedial measures and
operational adjustments;
- Development of robust control plans, expanding monitoring parameters for enhanced
process control and system adjustments;
- Evaluating WWTP to identify feasible improvement opportunities; and
- Comprehensive evaluation of site waste water streams composition and process control
and/or reuse potential

Page 2 of 3
Ardin USA LLC
Our monitoring data demonstrates a correlation between water temperature and BOD results as
illustrated by the graph in Attachment 1. As temperature dropped in January and February of
2024, BOD results began to fluctuate, peaking in March and subsiding only when ambient
temperatures began increasing in April. The results have since stabilized, demonstrating the
causal relationship between ambient temperature and BOD levels.
Though our results indicate the BOD results have stabilized, we will continue more frequent
monitoring of indicator parameters in the event additional controls are required, and to account
for any fluctuations that may be observed in the future due to the system's long hydraulic
residence times (50 days) and even longer mean cell residence times.
Given the trend obtained as part of our investigation, we believe the BOD results were the
outcome of the exceptional and unforeseen circumstances that arose from extreme cold
weather that reduced biological activity and caused system upset condition.
We request DEQ consider the effect of the upset condition, as per 40 CFR 122.41 (n), as well as
Arclin's notification; proper operation at the time of discovering the upset; investigation and
findings; assignment of resources and remedial measures into account, and eliminate the intent
to assess civil penalty.
If you have any additional questions, please contact me at [phone]
Daniel Cox
Deputy Director of Manufacturing

143-215.1.
Remedial actions should have already been taken to correct this problem and prevent further occurrences in the
future. Please respond in writing within ten (10) business days after receipt of this Notice, stating whether the
violation(s) has been corrected, or if it is of an ongoing nature. If the violation(s) has been resolved, your
response should include a description of the actions that were taken to address the violation(s) and to prevent

If the violations cited in this Notice are of a continuing nature, you must pro vide_ a report to DWR's Ralelah
Realonal Office that includes the following information:
• Owner and Facility Name, and NPDES Permit Number.
• A list of violations that have occurred during the noncompliant episode.
• A statement summarizing the facility's investigation of the noncompliance, indicating its cause.
• The facility's corrective action plan or strategy to address the noncompliance.
• A statement describing the facility's implementation of its corrective action plan, including the date of an
anticipated return to consistent compliance.
Your response and/or report should be submitted to my attention to the address at the bottom of the first

reply should be submitted within ten (10) business days.
Furthermore, if you wish to provide any additional information regarding the noted violation(s)
that may affect the Division's enforcement response, please include that information as part of
your response. This information, along with statements provided on the submitted Monitoring
Report(s), will be evaluated in the consideration of any assessment of civil penalties related to the
violation(s).
If continuing violations are not related to operation and/or maintenance problems, and you anticipate remedial
construction activities, you may wish to consider applying for a Special Order by Consent (SOC). Please be aware
that it is a condition of your NPDES permit that you adequately address such violations (Part II, Section B. 2 -
the "Duty to Mitigate" condition). Violations of a continuing nature can justify the assessment of increased civil
penalty amounts to address the noncompliance.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, wish to request technical assistance, discuss overall
compliance, or explore the possibility of entering into a SOC, please contact Cheng Zhang of the Raleigh Regional
Office at 919-791-4200, or via email at [e-mail].
