May and June 2016 Stormwater DMRs
To Whom It May Concern:
I have enclosed two (2) copies of the May and June 2016 Stormwater DMRs for
CommScope, Inc. WWTP. The CommScope Certificate of Coverage No. is NCG030078.
Please note that results for the May sampling were not received until early July; also,
please note that there was no discharge in June, as checked on the DMR form.
Please note that (as stated in my previous letter) Mr. George Crosby, EHS Manager,
was released by the company and there were several DMRs that were not sent in as a
result of these items being found with his belongings (for which I have previously have
sent in to your office). Furthermore, I was recently asked to update the Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan and as a result, I have been trying to catch up with all the
issues that were not resolved in an appropriate manner, and as such are now getting
back on track with getting all the information sent to DWQ.
Also, please note that as of December 7t", 2015, the Signatory Responsibility for the
WWTP DMR (NPDES Permit No. NC0034754) was transferred to me. Thus, as a result,
I have been onsite as a consultant to assist staff with the wastewater treatment plant
operations. However, for the month beginning now (July 2016 forth), the Signatory
Responsibility has now been transferred to Mr. Gregory P. Lathrop, whom is the EHS
Supervisor and just recently obtained his Grade I Wastewater Operator's License.

Anyway, I have enclosed the stormwater discharge report for May 2016 for which
samples were collected on May 17th, 2016. Please note that there was no discharge in
June (also enclosed).
For the sampling conducted in May, CommScope exceeded the bench mark value for
zinc (0.067mg/L) for 8 of the 15 sampled outfalls. However, good news is that all other
parameters sampled for all 15 outfall samples were in compliance and were below the
bench mark values. As for the zinc exceedances, CommScope is working diligently on
correcting these Stormwater concerning including updating BMPs and performing
qualitative checks to help correct these issues. Furthermore, as noted in the previous
correspondence, staff has implemented monthly sampling (along with sampling all
outfalls) as per the permit guidance.
Please feel free to call me at 336-366-0870 to discuss this further.
You will start to see a monthly DMR from me for this permit from hence forward.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns with this report. Please
understand that CommScope, Inc.
Sincerely,

1 Monthly sampling (instead of semi-annual) must begin with the second consecutive benchmark exceedance for the same parameter at the same outfall.
2 For sampling periods with no discharge at any single outfall,you must still submit this discharge monitoring report with a checkmark here.
3The total precipitation must be recorded using data from an on-site rain gauge. Unattended sites may be eligible for a waiver of the rain gauge requirement.
4 See General Permit,Table 3 identifying the especially sensitive receiving water classifications where the more protective benchmark applies.

5 Total Toxic Organics sampling is applicable only for those facilities which perform metal finishing operations, manufacture semiconductors, manufacture
electronic crystals, or manufacture cathode ray tubes. For purposes of this permit the definition of Total Toxic Organics is that definition contained in the EPA
Effluent Guidelines for the facility subject to the requirement to sample (for metal finishing use the definition as found in 40 CFR 433.11; for semiconductor
manufacture use the definition as found in 40 CFR 469.12; for electronic crystal manufacture use the definition as found in 40 CFR 469.22; and for cathode ray
tube manufacture use the definition found in 40 CFR 469.31).
**** Please note that Outfall#2 Oil &Grease sample was dropped and broken upon receipt at the laboratory.
Facilities that incorporate a solvent management plan into the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan may so certify, and the requirement for TTO monitoring
may be waived. The solvent management plan shall include a list of the total toxic organic compounds used and the other elements listed in the General
Permit. For those facilities electing to employ the TTO monitoring waiver, the discharger shall sign the following certification statement:
"Based upon my inquiry of the person or persons directly responsible for managing compliance with the permit monitoring requirement for total toxic organics
(TTO), I certify that to the best of my knowledge and belief, no dumping of concentrated toxic organics into the stormwater or areas which are exposed to rainfall or
stormwater runoff has occurred since filing the last discharge monitoring report. I further certify that this facility is implementing the all the provisions of the
solvent management plan included in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan "
