Subject: NPDES Permit NC0006561 -Addendum to Application Submitted 10/27/2015
Dear Mr. Chernikov,
Upon reviewing the manufacturing operations at the Baxter facility in Marion, NC, it was determined
that the facility generates metals finishing categorical wastewaters as described by 40 CFR 433. The
facility performs passivation of specific process equipment on a quarterly to semi-annual basis, which is
considered a coating operation under 40 CFR 433. Additionally, Baxter performs welding, machining,
and other similar operations in the facility machine shop.
The water from the passivation will be captured for off-site disposal. None of the operations in the
machine shop have a discharge to drain, rather the waters are recycled or captured for off-site disposal.
Therefore, although metals finishing wastewaters are present at the facility, Baxter will not discharge
metals finishing wastewater to the sewer or Outfall 001. As the categorical wastewater does not
discharge to Outfall 001, Baxter does not anticipate any changes to the effluent limitations and
monitoring requirements in Section A.(1.) of the NPDES permit.
Please contact Mike Pisarik at [phone] if you have any questions or need any further information.
Sincerel ,
