Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit
Permit No. NC-S000522
US Polymers - Charlotte, NC

Dear Mr. Rebello:
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 items for this facility's future permit:
• All analytical monitoring is semi-annual. This makes stormwater discharge sampling frequency
consistent with qualitative monitoring. Please note that analytical monitoring must be performed
during a representative storm event.
• Monitoring is not required at SDO #3. There are no industrial activities in this drainage area. If
this changes in the future, the Division must be notified in writing.
• The Division has incorporated benchmark values into the permit. These benchmarks are not
permit limits but should be used as guidelines for your facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plan (SPPP). If any measurements exceed benchmark values, your facility should evaluate the
effectiveness of its Best Management Practices (BMPs), review and/or update its SPPP, and
document any efforts to address stormwater contamination (see Part II, Sections B and D).
• The permit requires Total Rainfall amount be recorded for each sampling event. Please note that
the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) site map must include drainage area for each
autfall in acres and the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious (see Part H, Sec. 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.
If you have any questions or comments concerning this draft permit, contact me at [phone] x 360 or

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. ,fh..,

Dear Mr. Rebello:
Enclosed with this Ietter 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 items for this facility's future permit:
• All analytical monitoring is semi-annual. This makes stormwater discharge sampling frequency
consistent with qualitative monitoring. Please note that analytical monitoring must be performed
during a representative storm event.
• The Division has incorporated benchmark values into the permit. These benchmarks are not
permit limits but should be used as guidelines for your facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plan (SPPP). If any measurements exceed benchmark values, your facility should evaluate the
effectiveness of its Best Management Practices (BMPs), review and/or update its SPPP, and
document any efforts to address stormwater contamination (see Part 11, Sections B and D).
The permit requires Total Rainfall amount be recorded for each sampling event. Please note that
the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) site map must include drainage area for each
outfall in acres and the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious (see Part II, Sec. A).
PIease 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.
If you have any questions or comments concerning this draft permit, contact me at [phone] x 360 or

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 producingharge begins again within the
next 10 hours,

either; (a) measured continuously, (b) calculated based on the amount of area draining to the outfall, the
amount of built -upon (impervious) area, and the total amount of rainfall, or (c) estimated by the
measurement of flow at 20 minute intervals during the rainfall event.
Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL)
A TMDL is a calculation of the maximum amount of a pollutant that a waterbody can receive and still meet
water quality standards, and an allocation of that amount to the pollutant's sources. A TMDL is a detailed
water quality assessment that provides the scientific foundation for an implementation plan. The
implementation plan outlines the steps necessary to reduce pollutant loads in a certain body of water to
restore and maintain water quality standards in all seasons. Thetlean Water Act, section 303, establishes
the water quality standards and TMDL programs. /�, Sit I#

Description of Onsite Activities:
This facility produces wastewater treatment chemicals to be used by various industries. The raw materials
(Acrylamide, Surfactants, oils) are stored in outside above ground tanks (AGTs) with secondary containment. The
manufacturing takes place inside a building in mixing and reaction tanks. The final products (flocculants) are stored
inside in AGTs with secondary containment. The products are shipped via truck. The storm drains that capture the
truck areas have manual shut-off valves that are closed during loading/unloading, and then checked for chemicals
before being opened.

-w Central Office Review Summary:
1. Owner's Other Permits: (If applicable)
%r)p N/A- for US Polymers, Inc.
o BASF has NCGNE0120 currently, that needs to be rescinded since they are leasing to US Polymers.
2. General Observations: Existing facility owned by BASF. SW001 and SWO02 drain to existing storm sewer pipe
systems; SWO03 sheet flows over grass area to the property line. Previous spill of 30% HCl back in 1996 (not by
r..
current permittee). ASTs and maintenance shops in SW001 DA. UST for fuel oil and truck docks in SWO02 DA.
3. Impairment: The receiving stream, Stewart Creek, is not itself impaired. Though, Stewart Creek is a
tributary to Irwin Creek which is impaired for aquatic life and has a Fecal Coliform Bacteria TMDL established
(7.7xl012 cfU/100m1). Max loading allowed in the Irwin Creek watershed is 7.0xl012 co1/100ml for point
sources and 7.3x1011 col/100ml for nonpoint sources. Impairment is primarily from SSOs and WWTPs.
4. Threatened and Endangered: N/A
5. Location: 4330. Chesapeake Drive, Charlotte, NC (former BASF facility)
6. Industrial Changes Since Previous Permit: former BASF facility that produced textile dyes and pigments (SIC
2869). BASF facility changed to SIC 8731 in 2003; and granted no exposure certification. Proposed facility
SIC 2899.
Analytical Monitoring Notes: None provided for proposed facility. Previous BASF individual permit monitored
for COD, MBAS, and pH (and oil & grease for vehicle maint.). Consulted with Connie Brower on benchmarks
for possible pollutants.
8. Qualitative Monitoring Notes: SW001, 002, and 003 were visually observed that no non-stonnwater discharges
went to these outfalls.
Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring:
1. Possible pollutants: Acrylamide, Span 80, oil & grease, Euroquat 80MC, Exxsol D80 (solvent)
Monitor for: Oil & grease, Acrylamide, and pH
2. Benchmarks have been added to this draft permit.
3. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually.

Subject: Stormwater application return #1159
US Polymers, Inc. - Charlotte
Mecklenburg County
On October 4, 2007, the Division of Water Quality, Stormwater Permitting Unit
received your application for an individual NPDES stormwater discharge permit.
The submittal included a transmittal letter from Project Integration, Inc., a single
copy, of EPA Forms 1 and 2F, an 11" x 17" site layout drawing, and a single page of
notes. Our initial. screening review indicates that the submittal is deficient, and we
are returning it unprocessed.
The submittal is deficient in the following particulars.
1. No application fee was included. The fee for an individual.NPDES
stormwatee discharge permit is $860.. Our fee schedule is posted on the
Stormwater Permitting Unit website at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/Fee schedule.html.
2'. North Carolina rules at 15A NCAC 2H .0105(a) require that the application
package be submitted in triplicate.
3. The submittal did not include a location map as required by EPA Form 1
Section XI. The required contents of that map are identified on the face of
the form,, and in the instructions for the form, both posted on our website at
htto://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/Forms Documents.htm.
4. The included site plan is insufficient in several particulars: the 11" x 17"
format is too small to legibly present the stormwater control features; the
quality of reproduction is insufficient to allow us to understand the
information on the drawing; and, the map does not identify outdoor areas of
material storage or loading and unloading as required on the face of EPA
Form 2F section III Site Drainage Map, and in the accompanying
instructions.

5. EPA Form 2F Section, IV B requires a narrative description of the potential
for site materiafi to �e exposed to stormwater. The information supplied is
insufficient for us to understand the potential for exposure. Please note that
we phis information to identify the sampling parameters to be included
in your stormwater permit: The notations, "Raw materials: Acrylamide,
Surfactants,,oi" and "Products: Wastewater chemicals" are insufficient for
that purpose,.?DWQ typically issues individual stormwater permits containing
monitoring requirement$ for the significant process materials handled on a
site; unless site conditions and/or analytical testing of the stormwater runoff
will allow us to conclude that there is no potential for the materials to be
present in the stormwater runoff. The on -site process materials were not
tested for as part of the submittal, and it is likely that we will include some
of them in the final permit.
6. EPA Form 2F Section VII Part C requires that you identify the pollutants
shown, in Tables 2F-2, 2F-3, and 2F-4 that you know or have reason to
believe will be present within the drainage area of each of your stormwater
outfalls. You have provided no response to this requirement.
I conclude from the application transmittal letter that a Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan has already been developed for this site. Please submit that to me
for a separate review when you resubmit the application package.
Please contact me with any comments or questions.
Sincerely,"

Subject: US Polymers, Inc. Storm Water Permit Application Revised
Dear Mr. Bennett:
o
12=1
The US Polymers company has leased the existing BASF facility located on 4330 Chesapeake Drive,
Charlotte, North Carolina 28216. The facility is planning to operate a waste water treatment
chemicals manufacturing facility at the site. The facility will be using existing aboveground storage
tanks (ASTs) to store chemicals and is installing tanks in the facility to complete the mixing and
reaction processes.
Based on the use of the chemicals as.well as the ASTs and loading and unloading of chemicals at the
site the facility is required to obtain a NPDES Storm Water permit. The facility has a Standard
Industrial code (SIC) of 2899. There is no general permit for this SIC, therefore US Polymers is
submitting a permit application to obtain an individual permit for the facility. Previously, US
Polymers submitted an application providing the Forms as well as an existing site map that was used
by BASF. The submittal was provided with the understanding that a new drawing would follow. --
After the review of the submittal, North Carolina Division of Water Quality requested that, in
addition to the new drawing, US Polymers provide MSDS for the raw materials being used, a $860
application fee, and also provide a draft copy of the facility SWPPP. The draft SWPPP was provided
by e-mail to Ken Pickle on October 15th for review and comment. This application includes the
application in triplicate (App. A), the back-up MSDS's (App. B), a site location map (Fig. 1, App. C),
aerial photo of the plant layout (Fig. 2, App C) and the updated SWPPP site plan (Fig. 3, App. C).
Please feel free to call me at [phone] or David Soares at [phone] with any questions or to
set up a site visit to discuss any questions that you may have. We will be happy to quickly respond to
any questions to expedite the permitting process.
Thank you for your assistance.

3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
HUMAN AND ENVIRONMENTAL. HAZARDS
May cause sensitization by skin contact.
May cause cancer.
May cause heritable genetic damage.
Possible risk of impaired fertility.
Harmful by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed.
Toxic: danger of serious damage to health by prolonged exposure through inhalation, in contact with skin and if
swallowed.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Ingestion:
Obtain medical attention. Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by a physician. Never give anything by mouth
to an unconscious person.
Skin contact:
Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Wash immediately with plenty of water and soap. Pay particular attention
to skin crevices, nail folds, etc. Do not reuse contaminated clothing without laundering. Do not reuse contaminated
leatherware. Get medical attention if signs and symptoms of toxic effects appear.
Eye contact:
Rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical advice if there are persistent symptoms.

Acrylamide, 50% Aqueous, Inhibited MSDS: 0000210 Print Date: oi-ocr2ow Page 2 of 10
Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Obtain medical advice if there are persistent symptoms. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration.
Notes to physician:
Ingestion may cause central nervous system (CNS) depression and seizures. Do not induce vomiting if these symptoms
are present because of the potential for aspiration. Gastric lavage may be indicated if performed soon after ingestion, or
for patients who are comatose or at risk of convulsing. Either acute or chronic exposure may lead to weak or absent
reflexes, positive Romberg's sign, loss of vibration and position senses and numbness and tingling of the limbs. An early
sign of toxic effects is peeling of the skin of the fingertips. Weekly examinations (by plant medical staff or supervisor) of
the skin of hands and fingers for peeling are recommended. Evidence of peeling requires removal from work duties with
possible exposure. Once the skin has returned to normal, the employee may be returned to normal duties. If the peeling
should occur a second time, permanent removal from work duties with possible exposure is recommended. Other than
removal from exposure and decontamination, there is no definite proven treatment for acrylamide intoxication. Pyridoxine
(vitamin 136), pyruvate, and N-acetylcysteine have been used to reduce toxicity in experimental studies, but are unproven.
5. FIRE -FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable Extinguishing Media:
For small fires, use water spray, carbon dioxide or dry chemical to extinguish fires. For large fires, use water spray or fog
or dry chemical. Move containers from fire area if it can be done without risk. Dike fire control water for later disposal; do
not scatter the material. Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Cool
containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. If a truck, rail car, shipping container or other large
quantity of acrylamide is involved in a fire, ISOLATE for 800 meters in all directions and consider initial evacuation for 800
meters in all directions.
Protective Equipment:
Wear self-contained, positive pressure breathing apparatus and full firefighting protective clothing for fire situations only.
This equipment is not effective in spill situations - See MSDS Section 6 (Accidental Release Measures).
Special Hazards:
Elevated temperatures or contamination may cause material to polymerize causing a pressure buildup that may violently
rupture tanks or containers. In the event this material begins to polymerize, isolate the area, use water fog or spray to
control vapors. Take defensive actions only. Let the reaction nun its course. Once the reaction is complete, normal
precautions for acrylamide should be followed.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions:
Refer to Section 8 (Exposure Controls/Personal Protection) for appropriate personal protective equipment. Wear
recommended, full facepieoe, positive pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus, two piece. PVC suit with hoof of r:Vc,
coveralls with hood, impervious 916ves (e.g., Butyl or neoprene), and rubber or neoprene boots.

Acrylamide, 50% Aqueous, Inhibited MSDS: 0000210 Print Date: oi-oa-zoos Page 3 of 10
Methods for cleaning up:
Isolate the spill or leak area immediately. Keep unauthorized personnel away, upwind and out of low areas. Ventilate
enclosed areas. For larger spills, the area should be isolated immediately for at least 25 to 50 meters in all directions. Do
not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective equipment. Stop leak if possible if
it can be done without risk. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. SPILLS OF
ACRYLAMiDE MUST BE PROMPTLY REMOVED. Cover liquid spills with an inert absorbent material. Sweep up and
place in a waste disposal container. Do not permit liquid spills to dry. Flush spill area with plenty of water to 'chemical
sewer (if permitted) or otherwise dispose of in accordance with applicable governmental regulations. If allowed by local
regulations, a sewage treatment plant with sludge adapted to acrylamide is the preferred method for disposing spill
cleanup water. Check with local authorities before disposing of spill cleanup water in this manner. Areas not thoroughly
cleaned will retain a residue of dry acrylamide after the water evaporates. This residue is very water soluble and should
be removed by re -flushing the spill area with plenty of water as described above. If the spill partially polymerizes, the
resulting acrylamide polymers formed are very slippery when wet. Exercise caution to avoid slipping and falling. The spill
area should be re -cleaned if slipperiness remains. In the event of release due to accidental polymerization, isolate the
area and use water fog or spray to control vapors. Dike control water for later disposal. Take defensive actions only. Let
the reaction run its course. Once the reaction is complete, normal precautions for acrylamide should be followed.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
Acrylamide solutions must be kept free of any contamination to avoid accidental polymerization. Contact with rust,
oxidizing and reducing agents, and vinyl polymerization intiators will cause rapid polymerization. Avoid contact with
materials such as persulfates, bisulfites, peroxides and azo compounds. Avoid contact with adds and bases as these
materials may result in a solution pH outside the recommended range as discussed herein. The cupric ion inhibitor in
acrylamide solution may be rendered ineffective by chelating agents and precipitants for copper, Avoid contact with
materials such as EDTA, polyphosphates, sulfides, carbonates, etc. Metallic copper, aluminum, brass, bronze and iron
will cause slow polymerization in the area of contact with acrylamide solution. Avoid contact with metals above copper in
the Electromotive (EMF) series. Stainless steel (304-316) is the recommended material of construction. Drums that have
contained the material should be stored separately and not used for any other purpose. To prevent inadvertent
exposure, it is important that surfaces subject to acrylamide contamination be thoroughly cleaned on a routine basis. For
additional information, see publication 'ACRYLAMIDE AQUEOUS SOLUTION HANDLING & STORAGE
PROCEDURES'.
Storage
To prevent accidental polymerization, Acrylamide solutions are stabilized by cupric ion (Cu++) and dissolved oxygen (air).
Storage tanks must be sparged with air to maintain dissolved oxygen (air) levels. A 4 m3 tank should be sparged at a
rate of a least 300 Ilhr, A 40 m3 tank should be sparged at a rate of at least 600 Ar. Maintain a pH range between 5.2
and 6.0 to avoid destabilizing the solution. (High pH will cause the cupric ion inhibitor to precipitate rendering it
ineffective, whereas low pH reduce the stability of the solution.) Keep away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Storage
temperatures must be maintained below 32 C (90 F) and above the crystallization point - See Section 9, Melting Point.
(Acrylamide stability decreases at elevated temperatures. Low temperatures may destabilize the solution if acrylamide
crystals separate from the solution). Ambient air storage temperatures may exceed 32 C (90 F) for short tern periods, but
should never exceed 45 C (113 F). To prevent the loss of dissolved oxygen -(air), acrylamide solutions shouid not'be kept
under or sparged with an inert gas. Heating in an open container may cause loss of oxygen. Shipping containers should
not be overfilled - Retain --7% air space to maintain adequate dissolved oxygen levels for normal shipping conditions.
Uncontaminated acrylamide solutions that are properly maintained (i.e., aerated and pHttemperature controlled) can be
stored safely at temperatures up to 32 C (90 F) for 6 months. Packaged acrylamide solutions should be consumed on a
first in, first out basis.

Engineering measures:
Utilize a closed system process where feasible.
Where a closed system is not used, good enclosure and local exhaust ventilation should be provided to minimize
exposure.
Eyewash fountains and safety showers should be available where this material is handled.
Respiratory protection:
Where adequate engineering controls are in effect, and measurements confirm airborne concentrations are below the
permissible exposure level, no respiratory protection is required.
Full facepiece, positive pressure, supplied air respirators or self-contained breathing apparatus must be used for unknown
concentrations.
Acrylamide exhibits no warning properties at concentrations at or below the permissible exposure level.
Although a cartridge respirator is not specifically government recommended for use with acrylamide, this type of respirator
can be effective in controlling exposures of known concentrations in the workplace. Respirator cartridge service life tests
show that organic vapor cartridges will provide protection from airborne levels of acrylamide up to 9 mg/m3. No
breakthrough at this concentration was detected after eight hours at a relative humidity of 85%. THE CARTRIDGES
MUST BE CHANGED AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH SHIFT.
Eye protection:
For operations where eye and face contact with this material can occur, wear head covering and chemical splash proof
goggles or faceshield. A full facepiece respirator will provide the necessary eye protection where handling makes it
desirable.
Skin Protection:
For operations where skin contact with this material can occur, wear impervious gloves (e.g. PVC or nitrile), rubber or
neoprene shoes or boots (leather is unsuitable unless covered) and impervious disposable coveralls that provide head,
arm and foot protection from contact with this material.
WASH GLOVES THOROUGHLY BEFORE REMOVING AND DISCARD GLOVES THAT ARE CONTAMINATED ON
THE INSIDE.
Additional advice:
Food, beverages, and tobacco products should not be carried, stored, or consumed where this material is in use.
Before eating, drinking, or smoking, wash face and hands thoroughly with soap and water.
Shower after completion ofworkshift.
Launder work clothing at end of workshift, prior to use.
Store street clothing separately from work clothing and protective equipment.
Work clothing and shoes must not be taken home.
