Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit
Permit No. NCS000328
Bestway South, Inc.
Iredell County
Dear Mr. Ochs:
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. Please review the draft
very carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains.
The draft permit contains the following significant changes from this facility's current permit:
Analytical monitoring changes:
1. The analytical monitoring for Arsenic, Chromium, BOO, COD, and TSS was maintained for the sampling
requirements in this permit. Additional monitoring will include Copper and Nitrogen.
2. pH has been added to the analytical monitoring requirements.
3. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as defined in
Part II Section B. The permittee must also document the total precipitation for each event. If no discharge
occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating "No Flow'
within 30 days of the end of the six-month sampling period. Additionally, samples must be taken a
minimum of 60 days apart, as specified in Table 2.
4. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring have been added to this draft permit. Exceedances of benchmark
values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record
keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. If the
sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at
any outfall then the facility shall follow the Tier 1 guidelines which require a facility inspection within
two weeks and implementation of a mitigation plan within two months. If during the term of this permit,
the sampling results are above the benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific
parameter at a specific discharge outfall two times in a row (consecutive), then the facility shall follow the
Tier 2 guidelines which require a repetition of the steps listed for Tier 1 and also immediately institute
monthly monitoring for all parameters at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark
value for two consecutive samples.
5. You are required to collect all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during representative
storm events as defined in Part II Section B. Qualitative monitoring is required regardless of
representative outfall status.
6. You are responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote 1 of Tables 1, 4,
and 5.
7. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall
parameter is in this permit, however.) NorthCarolina

8. Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with analytical
and qualitative monitoring. This requirement appears in all Individual Stormwater permits, however it
only applies to facilities that do vehicle maintenance. If the facility begins vehicle maintenance during the
permitted timeframe then the requirements shall apply.
Other permit changes:
1. Additional guidance is provided about the Site Plan requirements. The site map must now identify if the
receiving stream is impaired and if it has a TMDL established. It must also describe potential pollutants
in each outfall. The map requirements are stated more explicitly. And, the site plan must contain a list of
significant spills that have occurred in the past three years and also must certify that the outfalls have
been inspected to ensure that they do not contain non-stormwater discharges. Additional information is
provided in Part II Section A.
2. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Management Plan have been specified in Part II Section A.
More details regarding secondary containment are provided.
3. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been specified in Part II
Section A. The plan must also be updated annually to include a list of significant spills and to certify that
the outfalls do not contain non-stormwater discharges.
4. The facility must now implement a semi-annual Facility Inspection Program of the site's stormwater
management controls as specified in Part II Section A.
5. Information regarding the No Exposure Exclusion has been added to this draft permit. If industrial
materials and activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described in 40 CFR §122.26(g), the
facility may qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES stormwater discharge permit
requirements. Additional information is provided in Part I Section A. .
Please submit any comments to me no later than thirty (30) days following your receipt of the draft.
Comments should be sent to the address listed at the bottom of this page. If no adverse comments are
received from the public or from you, this permit will likely be issued in about two months.

(e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of
non-stormwater discharges. The certification statement will be signed in
accordance with the requirements found in Part III, Standard Conditions, Section
B, Paragraph 5. The permittee shall re -certify annually that the stormwater
outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges.
2. Stormwater Management Plan. The stormwater management plan shall contain a
narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or
minimize the exposure of significant materials to stormwater, including structural and
nonstructural measures. The stormwater management plan, at a minimum, shall
incorporate the following:
(a) Feasibility Study. A review of the technical and economic feasibility of changing
the methods of operations and/or storage practices'to eliminate or reduce exposure
of materials and processes to stormwater. Wherever practical, the permittee shall
prevent exposure of all storage areas, material handling operations, and
manufacturing or fueling operations. Ili areas,where elimination of exposure is
ment plan shall document the feasibility of not practical, the stormwater manage
diverting the, stormwater runoff away from" areas of potential contamination.
(b) Secondary Containment Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is
required for: bulk storage of liquid materials; storage in any amount of Section
313 of Title III of,the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA)
water priority chemicals; and storage in any amount of hazardous substances, in
order to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. A table
or summary of all uchtanks and stored materials and their associated secondary
containment areas° shall be maintained. If the secondary containment devices are
connected directly to stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be
controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices (which shall be
secured closed with a locking mechanism), and any stormwater that accumulates
in the containment area shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam,
outfall staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the
accumulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to
be uncontaminated by the material stored within the containment area. Records
documenting the individual making the observation, the description of the
accumulated stormwater, and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a
period of five years.
(c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management
Practices (BMP) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs
shall be based on the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute
significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected
through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a
written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the
selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually.

Spill Prevention and Response Plan. The Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP)
shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials
inventory of the facility. Facility personnel (or the team) responsible for implementing the
SPRP shall be identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and dated
by each individual acknowledging their responsibilities for the plan. A responsible
person shall be on -site at all times during facility operations that have the potential to
contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or exposure of materials associated with the
facility operations. The SPRP must be site stormwater specific. Therefore, an oil Spill
Prevention Control and Countermeasure plan (SPCC) may be a component of the SPRP,
but may not be sufficient to completely address the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The
common elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may be incorporated by reference into the

The Director may notify the permittee when the Plan does not meet one or more of the
minimum requirements of the permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee shall
} submit a time schedule to the Director for modifying the Plan to meet minimum
requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with
Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 5) to the Director that the changes
have been made.
8. Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur as
part of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a minimum on
a semi-annual schedule, once during the first half of the year (January to June), and once
r:•
during the second half (July to December), with;at least 60 daysseparating inspection
dates (unless performed more frequently than semi-annually).: These facility inspections
are different from, and in addition to, the stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring
required in Part II B and C of this permit.
9. Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Plan. Implementation of the Plan
shall include documentation of all monitoring, measurements, inspections, maintenance
activities, and training provided to employees; including the log of the sampling data and

Permit No. NCS000328
SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1. All
analytical monitoring shall be performed during a representative storm event. The required
monitoring will result in a minimum of ten analytical samplings being conducted over the term of
the permit at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO).
A representative storm event is a storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall
and that is preceded by at least 72 hours in which no storm event measuring greater than 0.1
inches has occurred. A single storm event may contain up to 10 consecutive hours of no
precipitation. For example, if it rains for 2 hours without producing any collectable discharge,
and then stops, a sample may be collected if a rain producing a discharge begins again within the
next 10 hours.

SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of
representative outfall status and shall be performed as specified in Table 4, during the analytical
monitoring event. [If analytical monitoring is not required, the permittee still must conduct semi-
annual qualitative monitoring.] Qualitative monitoring is for the purpose of evaluating the
effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and assessing new sources of
stormwater pollution.
In the event an atypical condition is noted at a stormwater discharge outfall, the permittee shall
document the suspected cause of the condition and any actions taken in response to the
discovery. This documentation will be maintained with the SPPP.,

Central Office Review Summary:
1. Owner's Other Permits: Owner has no other permits in BIMS.
2, General Observations: All water drains to a ditch that leads to the pond. All chemicals stored inside or in
containment area. Overfill sensors are' installed on work tanks and combo tanks.
Significant Materials Stored: CCA bulk storage in building, diesel fuel bulk storage in tank, mold inhibitor drum
storage in building, waste drums stored on drip pad, and propane stored in propane tank and cage.
3. Impairment: Third Creek (12-108-20-4) is on the 303(d) for turbidity. Basinwide Plan recommends local actions
to reduce sedimentation, turbidity and fecal coliform contamination and to promote the production of instream
habitat by restoring riparian vegetation throughout the watershed.
4. Threatened and Endan eg red: There is one species that is federally threatened within 2 miles of the site based on
the Natural Heritage Virtual Workroom. Hexastylis naniflora (Dwarf -flowered Heartleaf) Threatened.
However, based on a GIS layer from Natural Heritage there are no species that close.
5. Location: The outfall discharges to a classified C stream.
6. Industrial Changes Since Previous Permit: None provided in application. After talking with the permit contact
an updated site was sent that included a new storage building.
7. Analytical Monitoring Notes: The permittee indicated in the renewal application that they could not do analytical
monitoring due to their pond never discharging. The permit required them to sample for Arsenic, Chromium,
BOD, COD, and TSS. All monitoring will be maintained for the renewed permit.
The EPA Multi -Sector permit for Sector A recoininends monitoring for Total Arsenic and Total Copper for SIC
2491, Wood Preserving.
Copper will be added to the monitoring because it is in both of the treatment processes: Dispersed Copper Azole,
CCA. Nitrogen added because it could potential come for the Dispersed Copper Azole treatment.
8. Qualitative Monitoring Notes: The permit requires qualitative monitoring twice a year, once in the spring (April -
June) and once in the fall (September -November). No mention of qualitative monitoring was mentioned in the
application. Probably because they had no discharge from the pond.
The central file had one qualitative monitoring report. It looked ok but the water was light brown.

Revised Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring:
1. Maintaining monitoring for Arsenic, Chromium, BOD, COD, and TSS. Adding monitoring for Copper and
Nitrogen.
2. pH has been added to the analytical monitoring requirements.
3. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as defined in Part II
Section B. The permittee must also document the total precipitation for each event. If no discharge occurs
during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating "No Flow" within 30 days
of the end of the six-month sampling period. Additionally, samples must be taken a minimum of 60 days apart,
as specified in Table 2.
4. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring have been added to this draft permit. Exceedances of benchmark values
require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or
install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. If the sampling results are above a
benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at any outfall then the facility shall
follow the Tier 1 guidelines which require a facility inspection within two weeks and implementation of a
mitigation plan within two months. If duiuig the tem, of this pennit, the sampling results aie above [lie
benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall
two times in a row (consecutive), then the facility shall follow the Tier 2 guidelines which require a repetition of
the steps listed for Tier 1 and also immediately institute monthly monitoring for all parameters at every outfall
where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples.
5. The permittee is required to collect all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during representative
storm events as defined in Part II Section B. Qualitative monitoring is required regardless of representative
outfall status.
6. The permittee is responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote 1 of Tables 1, 4,
and 5.
7. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall parameter is in
this permit, however.)
8. Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with analytical and
qualitative monitoring.
Other Proposed Changes to the Previous Permit:
1. Additional guidance is provided about the Site Plan requirements. The site map must now identify if the
receiving stream is impaired and if it has a TMDL established. It must also describe potential pollutants in each
outfall. The map requirements are stated more explicitly. And, the site plan must contain a list of significant
spills that have occurred in the past three years and also must certify that the outfalls have been inspected to
ensure that they do not contain non-stormwater discharges. Additional information is provided in Part II Section
A.
2. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Management Plan have been specified in Part II Section A. More
details regarding secondary containment are provided.
3. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been specified in Part II Section A.
The plan must also be updated annually to include a list of significant spills and to certify that the outfalls do not
contain non-stormwater discharges.
4. The facility must now implement a semi-annual Facility Inspection Program of the site's stormwater
management controls as specified in Part II Section A.
5. Information regarding the No Exposure Exclusion has been added to this draft permit. If industrial materials and
activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described in 40 CFR § 122.26(g), the facility may qualify
for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES stormwater discharge permit requirements. Additional information
is provided in Part I Section A.

STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
DOCUMENT
This document is to be used as a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for
wood preserving facilities. This manual is not designed or intended to be used as a
directional or operations document. Any operations developed for pressure treating wood,
must be in compliance with EPA and other Federal and State regulations. All of the.
storm water control measures and practices described in this document must only be.,
used if they meet or exceed all applicable EPA and/or other Federal and State regulations.
cuncerning the use of hazardous materials. Ariy pollution prevention measures used at.
a wood preserving facility but not identified in this manual should be included on the
appropriate worts sheet pages.
STATEMENT OF POLICY FOR THE SWPPP
The wood preserving facility intends to develop and implement this SWPPP with the

Bestway South Inc. is a lumber treating and dry kiln facility. It contains a
treating plant with a 64-foot double door cylinder. It has three work tanks,
CCA bulk storage tank enclosed in a blocked with sprinkler system installed.
The drip pad is double lined and is fully self contained with burms
surrounding the treater. All chemical that drips from the treated lumber is
drained back into the door pits where it is reused in the treating process. The
water system used for the treating process has a check valve and a back flow
pr eventer system installed. The treating plant is covered by a steel building
with gutters and is paved around it. All chemical tanks used in the treating
process are contained inside a concrete and steel building that is double lined
and can contain everything if there was ever a major accident. The dry kilns
have a boiler system and are fueled by natural gas. It is a concrete and steel
structure. It is used as a drying process only. The chemical used for treating
of the water in the boiler is kept inside a 3 0-gallon storage container and is
pumped directly into the boiler. All oil and fluids for the forklifts are stored
in steel storage tanks with sight glasses on each. All used oil is put into the
oil furnace tank, which is used to heat the shop. All batteries and filters are
sent off site with vendors. All hazardous waste generated from the treater are
stored in 55 gallon drums and removed by Terra First Inc. The treater and
shop have spill containment kits for small and large spills.
o f' e Site
Plan
as J
All chemical used to treat the lumber here at Bestway South Inc. are stored
in bulk storage tanks inside an enclosed area in the treatment plant. All
lumber that comes in brite are stored on the yard on gravel until ready for
treating. All treated lumber must stay on the pad until drip free. Once it has
bepome drip free, it is stored on the gravel storage area until it ships. All
hazardous waste from the treating process is swept up and stored in 55
gallon drums until they are ready to be disposed of by our hazardous waste
business. Wst of the yard is paved and is cleaned on a daily basis by
keeping all bands and trash picked up and disposed of. All work on
equiptment is done inside the shop and all used oils are used inside the used
oil furnace and all filters and cleaners are disposed of by our vendors.

MATERIALS MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
Any practices.. designed to limit contact of pollutant with the storm water
discharge. A roof constructed over an above ground storage tank,
containing diesel fuel, would be an example of a material management
practice that would limit contact of the significant material with rainfall.

EQUIPMENT MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
Many types of equipment are associated with wood preserving facilities
including: pressure retorts, bark strippers, saw mills, fueling trucks,
maintenance equipment, freight transfer vehicles, and fork lifts. As an
example of an equipment management practice, the cleaning of equipment
should occur in designated controlled areas. Waste water from the cleaning
operation should be contained, pre-treated and discharged to the sanitary
sewer or removed by a qualified waste disposal company.
SIGNIFICANT MATERIALS TREATED
Significant materials include but are not limited to: raw materials, fuels,
solvents, detergents, plastics, finished materials such as metallic products,
food processing or production raw materials, hazardous substances
designated under Section 101 (14) of CERCLA, any chemical the facility is
required to roport pursuant to Section 313 Title III of SARA, fertilizers,
pesticides, and waste products.

VEHICLE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
Maintenance of vehicles can be a significant source of storm water
pollutants. Materials associated with vehicle maintenance include waste oil,
solvents and other degreasers used to clean engine parts, antifreeze,
radiator flush, brake fluid and battery acids and sludges.
Conducting maintenance in an enclosed area protected from runoff and
precipitation and implementation of a waste minimization program are two
examples of management practices relating to vehicle maintenance. A
waste minimization program may include the collection, recycling and reuse
of oils and solvents used in the maintenance process. Many companies
provide waste oil and solvent collection and recycling services.

EXISTING STRUCTURAL CONTROLS
Existing structural controls could include berms around drip pads, sealing
drip pad surfaces, enclosure of the drip pad, retort, or CCA tanks, storing
finished wood under cover, oil/water .separators installed on drain lines
which then discharge to a sanitary sewer. Other structural controls could
include detention ponds and/or marsh systems which cane provide for
settling, oxidation of volatiles, and water quality benefits from plant uptake
of nutrients and other pollutants.

HISTORY OF PAST SPILLS
Upon monitoring of the pond after numerous rainfall events over
the past three years, we have not had any outfall from the pond to
the outfall drain. All water is either contained in the pond until it
evaporates or is absorbed back into the ground. We have checked
the pond on several occasions during rainfall in or around 4 hour
increments and have not had any djscharge. Therefore we are
unable to take stormwater outfall samples to send off for testing.
This is why we do not have any records of analytical test results.

included in the storm water management control portion of the SWPPP:
Preventative Maintenance
Table 4-1 should be used to record inspection and maintenance activities,
r
and any corrective actions implemented.
Forklifts serviced every 250 hours by maintenance shop
Weekly inspections of drip pad for cracks/deteriation
Weekly inspection of storage tank containment area for
cracks / deterat:i,on...
Daily ..inspection of storage yard for drippage / contamination
Weekly inspection of hazardous waste storage areas

regulations
a
Cleaninq ,Facilities and Equipment
The maintenance of cleaning facilities is very important where a _large
number of vehicles or equipment are cleaned and maintained.
Options:
_Maintenance areas or areas where vehicles or equipment are
cleaned and maintained will be inspected. Inspections will include
determining if floor drains should be sealed, capped, or labeled and
regulated if they discharge to the storm sewer system. All liquids including
cleaning solvents, oil, fuel, and coolants on floor areas should be removed
and disposed of promptly.
Oil/water separators will be utilized, in conveyances that drain
cleaning areas, as part of the pre-treatment system before wastewater is
discharged to the sanitary system or to a collection tank for later removal.
Periodic maintenance of the oil/water separator will be conducted to ensure
continual effective removal of pollutants. Materials collected in the
separator include hydrocarbons and other floating debris. When a CPI
separator is used the parallel plates will, be cleaned with a high pressure
water stream. When a tank is used to store wastewater or recycled water
regular inspection of all pipe fittings and seals will be conducted.
The washing and cleaning operations should occur in a fixed area where
the fluids can be collected and discharged to a sanitary sewer. Where
operations are extensive, the installation of water recycling and/or
pretreatment equipment may be warranted.
Materials Storage Areas
Options:
Material storage areas for dry chemicals, sand and gravel, etc., will
be inspected for conditions where contact with precipitation or runoff could
occur. Inspection for the possibility of windblowing will be included. If
materials are affected by wind, material covering, enclosure or removal will
be considered.
A
x Tanks will be inspected for leaks, corrosion, deterioration of the
foundation, masonry retaining walls and slab of the tank farm, and closure
of drainage valves. Also careful inspection of the seams, rivets, nozzle
connections, valves, connecting pipelines, hoses, and evidence of corrosion,
pitting, cracks, dry rot, abnormalities and deformation, will be required.
CCA and fuel bulk storacre wig 1 be inspected weekly
y
x All storage tank levels will be logged daily and whenever products are
loaded or off-loaded. Tank levels are also to be monitored during
operational use. Tank levels will be carefully noted when use is
discontinued and remeasured whenever operations are restarted. ,.Major
differences in levels, of course, will be indicative of leakage.
See charge sheets for daily production
In areas of dry chemical storage, storm water diversion measures will .:
be developed. Diversion can be accomplished by utilizing berms or ditches
to change flow paths.
N / A
X Liquid storage facilities will have sumps or leak trays located below
valves and drain points and should be contained at least within a bermed
area having removable absorbent materials to soak up any spillage. Areas
where liquids are stored will have a ready supply of absorbent materials and
possibly spill containment booms, depending on the volume of liquid
material stored.
CCA storage, drip pad and tram area drains into door pits
for recycling ( sump cleaned every 90 days )
x Wherever possible, material storage will be under some form of
shelter. Platform storage with a tarpaulin type cover may be sufficient for
such storage.
All significant material stored under roof or in
containment area
Fuel/Chemical Transfer Pipelines
X Inspections will include visual examination.. for evidence of
deterioration of pipelines, hoses, sumps, pumps, valves, seals and fittings.
For larger facilities with large bulk storage tanks, particular attention will be
given to the items above and any sensors required to interact with the tank
being filled. (Many facility spills result from fueling attendants depending on
such sensors and°being inattentive while the tank is being overfilled.)
All vents and overflows directed to containment system
x Containment booms will be readily available to maintenance and/or
.tank truck personnel in these areas.
Absorbent material stored in maintenance shecl'fnr nil
spills
CCA spill kit -',stored on site with PPE and rlPan „rn_
supplies
Moldex spill kit stored in fiber rlr„m
Material Transfer, Loading and Unloading
Options:
Staged materials for loading or unloading will be kept out of storm
water flow paths by storage within' bermed areas or on platforms
surrounded by dikes or berms which direct storm water flow away from the
materials.
Inspections of loading and handling areas will need to be quite
frequent in the early phases of implementation of the SWPPP until revised
loading and unloading practices become the norm. Areas will be inspected
for clean and dry loading platforms, clean. equipment, proper storage of
loading equipment and maintenance of any equipment used.
N / A
Bermed areas fortankers to park while awaiting refilling assignments
will be established. The bermed areas will provide for containment of spills
from broken hoses or from leaking valves in an area where clean-up efforts
will be better. focused.
CCA transfer hoses and piping in containment area with
cover, overflow and vents directed to containment area
Vehicle Cleaning and Repair
Options:
x Equipment cleaning, paining, and repair activities will be conducted
in predesignated and controlled areas. The areas `designated for these
activities should be inspected for assurance that all drains discharge to
sanitary sewers. Where grease, oils and solvents are used in maintenance
and repair in regular and substantial quantities a oil -water separator will be
a precursor to a sanitary sewer discharge. Inspection and maintenance of
oil -water separators will be conducted on a regular basis.

Equipment cleaning fluids will be discharged to a sanitary sewer.
These areas will be inspected to assure that w4ste waters are not swept
or hosed into the storm sewer system.
Equipment painting areas will be inspected to ensure paints, solvents,.
and abrasive are not discharged to the storm sewer —It is important that any
areas designated for painting be strictly controlled. Airborne -particulants
from spray painting operations may settle in areas where contact with storm
water occurs. Paints and solvents will be kept under cover.
x Waste oil receiving areas will be established and maintained. The
waste oil system will .be well established so that personnel, including
maintenance workers and tenants are aware of the correct disposal
procedures. A contract will be established with an outside vendor to
institute a waste oil collection system. The system will include designated
waste oil collection areas, inspection and regular. disposal of the oil.

Arrangements with Sheriff's Department
Access to site can be achieved by contacting one of the Emergency
Coordinators. Do not allow any contact with the waste unless the
emergency equipment specified in this plan is employed.
Arrangements with Fire Department
Material is not flammable or explo�jve. .
Where possible, do not wash the waste solids away. The liquid should not
enter any sewers or contaminate grOLAnd water, Absorb using clay, lime,
sand, soda ash, or sawdust.
Arrangements with Local Hospital
Exposure by inhalation or ingestion is extremely unlikely. Skin contact with
either solid or liquid waste can result in contact dermatitis. Standard
medical treatment for such condition is acceptable.
Waste will contain a dilute mixture of chromic acid, copper oxide and
arsenic acid.
For eye contact, wash with water for 15 minutes. If swallowed, induce
vomiting. Treat for arsenic pentoxide (As2O,) and. chromium -trioxide (CrO,)
exposure.
Emergency Response - Hazardous Waste Spill
An employee discovering the spillage will immediately contain it. Then
immediately report it to a member of management.
A member of management will then contact the designated Emergency
Coordinator.
The emergency coordinator will obtain the following information:
1. the material spilled
2. .location of spillage of hazardous material
3. an estimate of quantity released
4. any injuries involved
5. the area contaminated by the spillage
Based on tho information obtained, the coordinator will assess the
magnitude and seriousness of the spillage. If the incident is within the
capabilities of the company's emergency response organization, the
Emergency Coordinator will contact and deploy the necessary personnel.
If the accident is beyond plant capabilities, the Emergency Coordinator will
contact the appropriate agencies. A list of agencies and phone numbers
is shown on page 5 of the Contingency Plan.
If a spill occurs in the hazardous waste storage area, the waste should
contain no free liquid, but in the event that liquid is present, a dike should
be made around the spill using the absorbent material located in the
hazardous waste storage area.
When the waste is dry, after addition of sufficient absorbent, the material
should be placed in 17H DOT approved drums. Drum must be marked with
hazardous wasto label. Accumulation start date should be marked on drum
label.
If the spillage has. come from a leaking hazardous waste drum, then the
drum should be placed by forklift in an 80-gallon recovery drum, marked
with a completed hazardous waste label including accumulation start date.
Only those persons involved in the emergency operation will be allowed
within the designated hazard area. If possible, the area will be roped or
otherwise blocked off.
If the spillage occurs on the concrete drip pad, the curbing and slope should
prevent any waste leaving the pad. area. Wash any free liquid into the
sump and re -use in the CCA process. Solid waste is.to be placed in 17H
DOT approved drums. The Emergency Coordinator must ensure that the
drip pad has been totally cleaned.
The clean-up will be performed by personnel designated by the Emergency
Coordinator. All non -essential personnel will be removed from the hazard
area.
All materials contaminated during the clean-up operation must be. placed in
drums for proper disposal. The Emergency Coordinator has the
responsibility for ensuring this is done.
In addition, the Emergency Coordinator must ensure that, in the affected
area of the plant:
A. No waste that may be incompatible with the
released material is treated, stored or disposed of
until clean-up procedures are completed.
B. All emergency equipment is clean and fit for its
intended use before operations are resumed.
r
The Operations Manager or his designee must:
A. in the event that the local emergency services have
been required, or a spill has occurred which
extends outside the plant area, notify the Regional
Administrator and appropriate state and local
authorities that the plant is in compliance with
paragraphs (a) and (b) above before operations are
resumed in the affected area of the plant.
B. 'The Operations Manager or his designee must note
in the operating record, the time, date and details
of any incident that required implementation of the
contingency plan. Within 15 days after the
incident,. he must submit a written report on the
incident to the Regional Administrator including:
1.
Name, address and phone number of the
company and plant.
2.
Date, time and type of accident.
3.
