Dear Sir or Madam:
In response to the above mentioned correspondence dated March 10, 2016, Environmental Compliance
Services, Inc. (ECS)on behalf of Mooresville Oil Company, Inc. is requesting a remission of enforcement
for permit exceedance. A penalty has already been paid by Mooresville Oil Company, Inc. in the amount
of$450.53 for a violation in September 2015 and an effort was made by ECS to make adjustments to the
system to correct the issue. As mentioned, subsequent to the September 2015 exceedance, the system was
shut-down and the granular activated carbon (GAC) units were regenerated and the system was restarted.
After further evaluation, it appears the vendor did not reconnect the units properly and the GAC units
were essentially being bypassed at which point the units failed. Following the exceedance in November
2015, the system was shut-down and did not operate until the units were completely replaced in February
2016. As stated, this has since been corrected as of February 4, 2016 as the GAC units were replaced
with new vessels and virgin carbon. The system was restarted, with no discharge, and an effluent sample
was collected on this date from the effluent stream which indicated 1,2-dichloroethane was below the
allowable discharge limit prior to putting the system back into operation.
In addition, based on a follow-up conversation with Mr. Roberto Scheller of the NCDEQ, Mooresville
Regional Office on March 15, 2015 regarding the permit violation, it appears sampling and reporting of
sample results was being conducted more frequently than required by the applicable NPDES Permit in
order to evaluate monthly system performance in accordance with the approved Corrective Action Plan
developed for the site. The sampling and subsequent reporting has since been modified as well and will
only be completed in the future to conform to the requirements of the applicable permit.
We appreciate any reconsideration and lenience on the enforcement you can give us with this request
given the circumstances and efforts to abate the exceedance and if you should have any questions or
comments please feel free to contact me at(704) 583-2711.
Sincerely,
ENVIRONME TAL COMPLIANCE SERVICES,INC.
