Dear Mr.Kosinsky:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection form from the inspection
that I conducted on December 10, 2010. The facility was found to be in Compliance with permit
WQ0010453.
I was sorry to learn of the closure of the facility. If you do not intend to reopen in the future, the
best course of action would be to request rescission of the permit. I discussed the rescission process
with Mr. Joe Frye during the inspection and supplied the necessary Rescission Request Form.
Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional observations and comments. If you or
your staff has any questions, please call me at [phone].
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Kosinsky:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection form from the inspection
that I conducted on December 4, 2009. The facility was found to be in Compliance with permit
WQ0010453.
OnAugust August 5, 2009, Session Law 2009-406, entitled "An Act to Extend Certain Government
Approvals Affecting the Development of Real Property Within the State," was enacted by the General
Assembly and signed into law. The Act, known as the Permit Extension Act of 2009, extends the
expiration date of certain government approvals and permits. Non -discharge permit, WQ0010453 issued
by the Division of Water Quality falls within the scope of the Act and is therefore being extended until
11/30/2012. Please note per your permit, a renewal application must still be submitted six months in
advance of the extended expiration date.
Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional observations and comments. The
assistance of Mr. Lester Partlow was greatly appreciated during the inspection. If you or your staff has
any questions, please call me at [phone].
Sincerely,
Beverly Price

enforcement action by the Division in accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A to 143-

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Mitchell Distributing Company reportedly has been sold. A
condition of the sale is to place the existing wastewater
treatment facility (RGF Model LD Advanced Washwater Recycling
System) under permit from this Agency. The system appears to be
operating properly and causing no adverse environmental impact.
It is recommended that the permit for continued operation of this
facility be issued as early as possible.

surface and ground water protection will be established and an acceptable sampling
reporting schedule shall be followed.
12. Adequate inspection, maintenance, and cleaning shall be provided by the Permittee to
insure proper operation of the subject facilities.
13. The Permittee or his designee shall inspect the wastewater recycle facilities to prevent
malfunctions and deterioration, operator errors and discharges which may cause or lead to
the release of wastes to the environment, a threat to human health, or a nuisance. The
Permittee shall maintain an inspection log or summary including at least the date and time of
inspection, observations made, and any maintenance, repairs, or corrective actions taken by
the Permittee. This log of inspections shall be maintained by the Permittee for a period of
three years from the date of the inspection and shall be made available to the Division of
Environmental Management or other permitting authority, upon request.
14. Any duly authorized officer, employee, or representative of the Division of Environmental
Management may, upon presentation of credentials, enter and inspect any property,
premises or place on or related to the recycle system at any reasonable time for the purpose
of determining compliance with this permit, may inspect or copy any records that must be
maintained under the terms and conditions of this permit, and may obtain samples of
groundwater, surface water, or leachate.
15. The annual administering and compliance fee must be paid by the Permittee within thirty
(30) days after being billed by the Division. Failure to pay the fee accordingly may cause
the Division to initiate action to revoke this permit as specified by 15A NCAC 2H .0205
(c)(4)•
16. Failure to abide by the conditions and limitations contained in this permit may subject the
Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division of Environmental Management in
accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6(a) to 143-215.6(c).
17. The issuance of this permit does not preclude the Permittee from complying with any and
all statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances which may be imposed by other government
agencies (local, state, and federal) which have jurisdiction.
18. A set of approved plans and specifications for the subject project must be retained by the
Permittee for the life of this project.
N

19. Noncompliance Notification:
The Permittee shall report by telephone to the Asheville Regional Office, telephone number
.704-251-6208, as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours or on the next
working day following the occurrence or first knowledge of the occurrence of any of the
following:
a. Any occurrence at the wastewater treatment facility which results in the treatment of
significant amounts of wastes which are abnormal in quantity or characteristic, such as
the dumping of the contents of a basin or tank, the known passage of a slug of
hazardous substance through the facility, or any other unusual circumstances;
b. Any process unit failure, due to known or unknown reasons, that renders the facility
incapable of adequate wastewater treatment, such as mechanical or electrical failures of
pumps, aerators, compressors, etc.;
c. Any failure of a pumping station, sewer line, or treatment facility resulting in a by-pass
directly to receiving waters without treatment of all or any portion of the influent to
such station or facility; or
d. Any time that self-monitoring information indicates that the facility is not in compliance
with its permit limitations.
Persons reporting such occurrences by telephone shall also file a written report in letter
form within 15 days following first knowledge of the occurrence. This report must outline
the actions taken or proposed to be taken to ensure that the problem does not recur.
20. Upon classification of the facility by the Certification Commission, the Permittee shall
employ a certified wastewater treatment plant operator to be in responsible charge (ORC) of
the wastewater treatment facilities. The operator must hold a certificate of the type and
grade at least equivalent to or greater than the classification assigned to the wastewater
treatment facilities by the Certification Commission. The Permittee must also employ a
certified back-up operator of the appropriate type and grade to comply with the conditions
of Title 15A, Chapter 8A, .0202. The ORC of the facility must visit each Class I facility at
least weekly and each Class H, III, and IV facility at least daily, excluding weekends and
holidays, and must properly manage and document daily operation and maintenance of the
facility and must comply with all other conditions of Title 15A, Chapter 8A, .0202.
21. The Permittee, at least six (6) months prior to the expiration of this permit, shall request its
extension. Upon receipt of the request, the Commission will review the adequacy of the
facilities described therein, and if warranted, will extend the permit for such period of time
and under such conditions and limitations as it may deem appropriate.

Mr. Hardee,
I would like to request that Linder Industrial Machinery's Wastewater Recycle Permit WQ0010453 be
rescinded due to Linder no longer conducting business at 177 Sweeten Creek Road Asheville, NC 28803.
We have relocated our business and are not conducting work that would warrant a wastewater recycling
perm it.
Thank you for your time and if you have any questions please feel free to contact me at the following:
Mike Pawlak, EHS Director
