REGAN 54hT ary LI DA CULPEPPER October 12, 2018 lnrerfm &'rea w Mr. Stuart Kerkoff (via email) Environmental Health and Safety Manager Radiator Specialty Company 600 Radiator Road Indian Trail, North Carolina 28079 Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection Radiator Specialty Company NPDES Permit #NC0088838 Groundwater Remediation Union County Dear Mr. Kerkoff: Thank you your time and assistance during the October 10, 2018, inspection. Enclosed you will find the report for the compliance inspection. The treatment and disposal system appears to be performing well. There are, however, a few items that should be addressed should a permit modification be required for system re- location and potential additional required treatment: • Please keep the MRO informed of changes in the location of the treatment system and collection tank. • Please advise the MRO if additional treatment is planned to be added to the system to aid in the reduction of the new 1 A Dioxane constituent. • Please advise the MRO if the buyer is able to obtain a Brownfield Status. The report should be self-explanatory. Should you have any questions regarding this report, feel free to contact Ed Watson at edward.watson(a)ncdner.gov, or 704-235-2198.

Page# NPDES yr/mo/day Inspection Type (Cont.) NCO088838 I11 12, 18/10/10 117 18 JCJ Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary) This permit recently renewed with new permit conditions for monitoring 1,4 Dioxande to be maintained at a level of 80ug/L or below. The newly installed RW is being pumped on 10 minute cycles to avoid exceeding the 80ug/I requirement. Alternate additional treatment may be required to maintain the 1,4 Dioxane parameter. The facility ceased production at the end of August 2018. The property is in the process of being sold and is currently under contract. The buyer may wish to have the tank farm removed and have the treatement system and recovery tank re -located. The possibility of additional treatment and the re -location of the tank and air stripper will likely require a permit modification. These changesd are yet to be determined, but likely to occur. The cost to re -locate the treatement system has to be negotiated between the two parties. Being aware of the presence of the chlorinated solvent plume, the buyer has applied for a Brownfield classification. The buyer is also aware that the treatment system will be required to be maintained. However, Radiator Specialty is retaining ownership of the contaminant and will continue to maintain the treatment system.
