At sometime during the night of December 311, a valve on one of their ASTs froze and busted. There was enough pressure to spew the oil/grease product out of the break in the valve. The estimate was that about 100 gallons made it outside of the secondary containment. Their security guard found the spill in the morning and notified William Newlin. Some product did make it to the curbline of the street, but it was cold enough to freeze and stop it from flowing any further. William notified the proper authorities and cleanup began once Shamrock arrived that afternoon. They finished the cleanup on January 2"d I've attached some photos of the spill.

I hope we didn't overwhelm you with all the fun that is permit renewal! I don't know what your process is for following up on facility inspections, but in case you can use them, here are the notes I took down on Chemol. Mike, Rick, or Sue — please feel free to add to this. • They would be interested in being covered under general permit NCG06 rather than an individual permit, if that's appropriate. Their SIC code 2869 is not specified in the NCG06, but we can discuss whether their operation is similar enough to be covered under NCG06. I think you may be able to search in BIMS for other facilities with that SIC code and see what permits they have. • They have at least two outfalls on their site but have been sampling only one outfall (001) based on approval from Oct 1993 letter which may have only been applicable during application process. The problem with sampling only Outfall 001 is that it only receives stormwater from employee parking and roof, and not from the industrial areas. Outfall 002 is inaccessible, however, and there didn't appear to be an alternative sampling location upland. Suggest documenting these findings in a new letter granting ROS with added housekeeping measures on the back side of the property that would include having a spill kit, cleaning grease/oils from metal stairs and other areas, modifying tank filling procedures so grease doesn't spill down sides, etc. • No data during some of the sampling periods. They should get sample kits so facility staff can collect samples after rainfall events. • pH was outside benchmark range in at least one sample. This could be because the collected sample is not being tested for pH in a timely manner. The sample should be analyzed within 15 minutes of collection (see attached guidelines). • They need to document that they're doing annual spill response reviews. Thanks again for helping with the individual permit renewals. Feel free to call or email any time with questions. Bethany is a great resource as well.

Ventaloro, Julie From: White, Glen Sent: Friday, June 02, 2017 10:10 AM To: Ventaloro, Julie Subject: RE: Chemol Company Inc. Permit #NCS000048 Julie I remember this facility and it was poorly maintained. I don't know if they are even monitoring at the outfall at the rear of the plant where there is significant exposure from their industrial processes. The samples they were collecting were coming from their outfall at the street. It only captured a small portion of the drive and roof and part of the street. I don't know why Chemol started testing the pH of their rainfall nor why they collect that sample at a different time from the monitoring sample. As you said, other facilities in their vicinity haven't had issues with pH. Don't know why they are getting those results. Maybe they aren't testing within the first 30 minutes of collection. I agree with you and I think pH should stay in their permit as is, if it triggers a tiered response, they need to investigate the issue causing acidity. The issue can be revisited if they can prove their case is valid. Glen White Environmental Specialist NCDENR Winston-Salem Regional Office Division of Energy, Minerals & Land Resources 450 Hanes Mill Rd — Suite 300 Winston-Salem, NC 27105 glen.white@ncdenr.gov (336)776-9660 From: Ventaloro, Julie Sent: Tuesday, May 30, 2017 3:16 PM To: White, Glen <glen.white@ncdenr.gov> Subject: FW: Chemol Company Inc. Permit #NCS000048 Glen, What's your take on their request for relief from pH monitoring? Also, do you know what prompted them to start testing the pH of their rainfall? It's curious to me that the pH of their stormwater pre-2013 was in the normal range, but since then, they've started getting some lower values. I'm stumped as to what would cause this shift. Any ideas? I'm inclined to keep pH as a parameter in their renewed permit for a few reasons: 1. I'm not certain they've taken any steps to evaluate possible causes of low pH in their stormwater samples from their site; 2. After talking to Div of Air Quality, it doesn't sound likely that there's a localized acid rain problem, and their recent inspection indicates the site is still poorly maintained; 3. Chemol's neighbors —Valley Protein and Evonik — don't seem to be having pH issues at their facilities; and 4. Their rainfall testing wasn't done on the same days as their stormwater sampling — it would be more useful to have data collected on the same day; If we keep pH in their permit as is, they are likely going to trigger the tiered responses. Maybe we could suggest they continue to monitor the pH of their rainfall (simultaneously with their stormwater sampling), so if they do trigger the tiers, we could reconsider relief from the tiers if/when they've exhausted all other options to address the issue? The way this would work is we could consider issuing a letter allowing them to use the lower of the measured rainfall/stormwater pH as the minimum benchmark level. Thoughts?

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE FOR FIELD ANALYSIS OF pH This document is intended to provide technical assistance and guidance for the measurement of pH. This is not meant to be a substitute for the method, but is offered as a guide to the method. HOLDING TIME: • Samples must be analyzed within 15 minutes of collection. METER CALIBRATION: The meter must be calibrated prior to the analysis of samples. If compliance samples are analyzed throughout the day, a post calibration check (e.g., 7 buffer) must be analyzed mid- day and at the end of the run (i.e., roughly every 4 hours based on an eight hour day). For routine work, use a pH meter accurate and reproducible to 0.1 pH unit with a range of 0 to 14, equipped with a temperature compensation device. Follow all manufacturers' recommendations for the calibration of the meter each analysis day. In all cases, the meter must be calibrated with at least two buffers. Calibrating with the pH 4 and pH 10 buffers meets standard methods requirements and brackets the pH range for most monitoring (with the exception of sludge) scenarios. The calibration; however, must bracket the range of the samples being analyzed. In addition to the calibration standards, the meter must be verified with a third calibration standard (e.g., pH 7 buffer). • In order to meet the above -specified criteria, the standard must read within a range of pH 6.9 to 7.1 to be acceptable. General Information: • Samples shall be gently stirred during measurement. • The electrode must be rinsed and blotted dry between measurements. All thermometers and temperature measuring devices must be checked every 12 months against a NIST certified or NIST traceable thermometer and the process documented even if the instrument is not used for reporting temperature results. To check a thermometer or the temperature sensor of a meter, read the temperature of the thermometerlmeter against a NIST certified or NIST traceable thermometer and record the two temperatures. The thermometer/meter readings must be less than or equal to 10C from the NIST certified or NIST traceable thermometer reading. The documentation must include the serial number of the NIST certified thermometer or NIST traceable thermometer that was used in the comparison. Also document any correction that applies on both the thermometer/meter and on a separate sheet to be filed. (NOTE: Other certified laboratories may provide assistance in meeting this requirement.) DOCUMENTATION: The following must be documented whenever sample analysis is performed 1. Time and date of sample collection 2. Time of calibration 3. Time and date of analysis (to verify 15 minute holding time is met) 4. Collector's/analyst's name 5. Value of buffers used for calibration 6. Value obtained for check buffer (e.g., pH 7 buffer) 7. Sample location/site 8. Post calibration checks (if applicable) 9. Report all data values to the nearest 0.1 pH unit. 10. The temperature correction (even if it is zero) must be posted on retained for 5 years). 11.

Box 16286 Greensboro, NC 27416 ROY COOPER Govemor MICHAEL S. REGAN Secretary TRACY DAVIS Director Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit Permit No. NCS000048 Chemol Company, Inc Guilford County Dear Mr. Newlin: Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. Please review the draft carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains. The draft permit contains the following significant changes from the facility's current permit: You are required to collect analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during "measurable storm events" as defined in Part II, Section B. This term is different from the "representative storm event" in earlier permits. 2. Tiered responses have been added to this 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 in accordance with Part I1, Section B of this permit. 3. Requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Plan (SPPP) have been updated in Part II, Section A. 4. Changes have been made to two monitoring parameters, including a change to one benchmark. Stormwater benchmarks are not permit limits, but rather guidelines for implementing the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). A benchmark exceedance is not a permit violation; however, the permittee must respond to exceedances as directed in the Tiers. • The Total Phosphorus benchmark has been changed from 5 mg/L to 2 mg/L for consistency with other industrial stormwater permits as well as wastewater permit limits imposed on dischargers in Nutrient Sensitive Waters areas. State of North Carolina 1 Environmental Quality I Energy, Mineral and Land Resources 1612 Mail Service Center f 512 North Salisbury Street I Raleigh, NC 27699-1612 919 707 9200 T • Vehicle maintenance (Tables 5,6) monitoring parameters have been revised as follows: o Non -Polar Oil & Grease [EPA Method 1664 (SGT-HEM)] replaces Oil & Grease/TPH. This requirement appears in all individual stormwater permits; however, it only applies to facilities that perform onsite vehicle maintenance activities. If the facility begins vehicle maintenance during the permit cycle, the requirements shall apply. o pH monitoring is no longer required for discharges only associated with vehicle maintenance activities. 5. A new section on Special Conditions has been added in Part lI, Section E to comply with federal regulations requiring electronic submittal of discharge monitoring reports. This section of the permit will become effective December 21, 2016. 6. Civil and administrative penalty amounts have been updated to reflect current federal law in Part III, Section A, 2(b) and (g). This facility has not been granted Representative Outfall Status; as such, sampling must be done at both stormwater discharge outfalls identified at this facility. Note that the facility's current permit as well as this draft permit require cLuarterlx monitoring at all outfalls. It is important to ensure that pH is tested onsite at the time of collection using a pH meter as delaying this test could return pH levels that are not representative of the onsite conditions. Please review the draft permit and submit any comments to me no later than 30 days following your receipt of the draft. Comments may be emailed to me at iulie.yentaloro(a,ncdenng_ov or mailed to my attention at NCDEQ, Land Quality Section, 1612 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1612.

All stormwater disch permit. difiefd "or revoked, the permittee is authorized to discharge s of NorthIcarolina or separate storm sewer system that managed°in accordance with the terms and conditions of I be in accordance with the conditions of this Any other point source discharge to surface waters of the state is prohibited unless it is an allowable non-stormwater discharge or is covered by another permit, authorization, or approval. The stormwater discharges allowed by this permit shall not cause or contribute to violations of Water Quality Standards. This permit does not relieve the permittee from responsibility for compliance with any other applicable federal, state, or local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or decree. Part I Page 1 of 2 Nr.snn0048 Chernal Company, I 0 Permit No. NCS000048 PART 11 MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR PERMITTED DISCHARGES SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN The permittee shall develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). The SPPP shall be maintained on site unless exempted from this requirement by the Division. The SPPP is public information in accordance with Part III, Standard Conditions, Section E, paragraph 3 of this permit. The SPPP shall include, at a minimum, the following items: 1. Site Overview. The Site Overview shall provide a description of the physical facility and the potential pollutant sources that may be�expected-to contribute to contamination of stormwater discharges. The SiteOvervi�I&I contain the following: (a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle:inap orappropriately drafted equivalent map), showing the facility's location in relation to transportation routes and surface waters; the name of the receiving waters to�which the stormwater outfalls discharge, or if the discharge is to a'municipal separate storm sewer system, the. name of the municipality and the ultimate -receiving waters; and accurate latitude and longitude of the points.of-stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity. The general location,map (or alternatively the site map) shall identify whether any receiving�waters are impaired (on the state's 303(d) list of impaired waters) or if the site is'locate&n a watershed for which a TMDL has been established, and what the parameters of concern are. (b) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities, outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and waste disposal practices. A narrative description of the potential pollutants that could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall. (c) A site map drawn at a scale sufficient to clearly depict: the site property boundary; the stormwater discharge outfalls; all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands; industrial activity areas (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads); site topography and finished grade; all drainage features and structures; drainage area boundaries and total contributing area for each outfall; direction of flow in each drainage area; industrial activities occurring in each drainage area; buildings; stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs); and impervious surfaces. The site map must indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious, and the site map must include a graphic scale indication and north arrow. (d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants during the previous three (3) years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts. Part II Page 1 of 1S Permit No. NCS000048 (e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. The permittee shall re -certify annually 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 3. 2. Stormwater Management Strategy. The Stormwater Management Strategy shall contain a narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or minimize the stormwater exposure of significant materials, including structural and nonstructural measures. The Stormwater Management Strategy, at a minimum, shall incorporate the following: (a) Feasibility Study. A review of the technical and econo"mic feasibility of changing the methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure of materials and processes to rainfall and run on-flbw\Wherever practical, the permittee shall prevent exposure of all storage areasmaterial handling operations, and manufacturing or fueling operations. In -areas where elimination of exposure is not practical, this review shall document -the feasibility of diverting the stormwater run-on away from areas of potential c contamination. //)V: (b) Secondary Containment Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is required for: bulk storage of lia/\ui materials; storage in any amour of Section 313 of Title III of the Superfun&Am`endin ents 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 such tanks and/stored materials and their associated secondary containment areas shall be mainta ned.Af'the secondary containment devices are connected 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). 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 any material. 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 (5) years. For facilities subject to a federal oil Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC), any portion of the SPCC Plan fully compliant with the requirements of this permit may be used to demonstrate compliance with this permit. (c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management Practices (BMPs) 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 on 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. Part 1I Page 2 of 15 Permit No. NCS000048 3. Spill Prevention and Response Procedures. The Spill Prevention and Response Procedures (SPRP) shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials inventory of the facility. Facility personnel 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 increased 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 SPRP. , ( 4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping,Program. A preventative maintenance and good housekeeping program�shall be developed and implemented. The program shall address all stormwater control systems (if applicable), stormwater discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial activity areas (including material storage,areas, material handling areas, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, ancllhaul roads), all drainage features and structures, and existing structural BMPs. The program shall establish schedules of inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping activities of stormwater control systems, as well as facility equipment, facility areas, and facility systems that present a potential for stormwater exposure or stormwater pollution where not already addressed under another element of the SPPP. Inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program. Timely compliance with the established schedules for inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping shall be recorded and maintained in the SPPP. S. 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 during the second half (July to December), with at least 60 days separating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently than semi-annually). These facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring at the outfalls required in Part II B, C, and D of this permit. 6. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill response and cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. The facility personnel responsible for implementing the training shall be identified, and their annual training shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained. 7. Responsible Party. The SPPP shall identify a specific position or positions responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision of the SPPP. Part I{ Page 3 of 15 Permit No. NCS000048 Responsibilities for all components of the SPPP shall be documented and position assignments provided. 8. SPPP Amendment and Annual Update. The permittee shall amend the SPPP whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, site drainage, maintenance, or configuration of the physical features which may have a significant effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of the SPPP shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. The annual update shall include: (a) an updated list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous three (3) years, or the notation that no spills have occurred (element of the Site Overview); (b) a written re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discha ges:(elemenk of the Site Overview); (c) a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness.ofthe on -site stormwater BMPs (BMP Summary element of the-Stormwater Management Strategy). (d) a review and comparison of sample analyticaHata to benchmark values (if applicable) over the past year,, including.a,discussion about Tiered Response status. The permittee shall use the Division's Annual Summary Data Monitoring Report (DMR) formavail�able from the Stormwater Permitting Program's website,(See"Monitori g Forms' here: The Director may notify e permittee when the SPPP 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 SPPP to meet minimum requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with Part 111, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3) to the Director that the changes have been made. 9. SPPP Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and all appropriate BMPs consistent with the provisions of this permit, in order to control contaminants entering surface waters via stormwater. Implementation of the SPPP shall include documentation of all monitoring, measurements, inspections, maintenance activities, and training provided to employees, including the log of the sampling data and of actions taken to implement BMPs associated with the industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance activities. Such documentation shall be kept on -site for a period of five (5) years and made available to the Director or the Director's authorized representative immediately upon request. 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 measureable storm event at each Part II Page 4 of 15 Permit No. NCS000048 stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must be sampled (See Definitions). A measurable storm event is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the permitted site outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours prior. The 72-hour storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a shorter interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and the permittee obtains approval from the local DEMLR Regional Engineer.

If the facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or Three response actions under the previous permit, the facility shall continue a monthly monitoring and reporting schedule in Tier Two or Tier Three status until relieved by the provisions of this permit or the Division. 2 Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. When physical separation between outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, sampling shall begin within the first 30 minutes, and shall continue until completed. 3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the Division's letter granting ROS shall be kept on site. 4 For each sampled measureable storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge is required. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain gauge reading may be substituted for an on -site reading. The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified below in Table 2, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection (see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Sampling is not required outside of the facility's normal operating hours. A minimum of 30 days must separate each Monitoring Period. Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and recorded on the DMR. The permittee must report the results from each Part II Page 5 of 15 Permit No. NCS000048 sample taken within the monitoring period (see Part III, Section E). However, for purposes of benchmark comparison and Tiered response actions, the permittee shall use the analytical results from the first sample with valid results within the monitoring period.

The permittee must submit an application for renewal of coverage before the submittal deadline (180 days before expiration) to be considered for renewed coverage under the permit. The permittee must continue analytical monitoring throughout the permit renewal process, even if a renewal permit is not issued until after expiration of this permit. 2 If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating "No Flow" or "No Discharge" within 30 days of the end of the sampling period. Failure to monitor quarterly per permit terms may result in the Division requiring monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period. "No discharge" from an outfall during a monitoring period does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is properly recorded and reported. The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3. 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. See below the descriptions of Tier One, Tier Two, and Tier Three response actions below. In the event that the Division releases the permittee from Part II Page 6 of 15 Permit No. NCS000048 continued monthly monitoring and reporting under Tier Two or Tier Three, the Division's release letter may remain in effect through subsequent reissuance of this permit, unless the release letter provides for other conditions or duration.

Conduct a stormwater management inspection of the facility within two weeks of receiving sampling results. 2. Identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedance. 3. Identify potential, and select the specific feasible: source controls, operational controls, or physical improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern, and/or to bring concentrations within the benchmark range. 4. Implement the selected feasible actions within two months of the inspection. 5. Record each instance of a Tier One response in the SPPP. Include the date and value of the benchmark exceedence, the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the selected actions, and the date the selected actions were implemented. 6. Note: Benchmark exceedances for a different parameter separately trieaer a tiered response. Tier Two If. The first valid sampling results from two consecutive monitoring periods (omitting periods with no discharge) are above the benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall; Part I1 Page 7 of 1S Permit No. NCS000048 Then: The permittee shall: 1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier One. 2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring and reporting for all parameters. The permittee shall conduct monthly monitoring at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples. Monthly (analytical and qualitative) monitoring shall continue until three consecutive sample results are below the benchmark values or within benchmark range. 3. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee is required to submit a monthly monitoring report indicating "No Flow" to comply with reporting requirements. 4. Alternatively, in lieu of steps 2 and 3, the permittee may, after two consecutive exceedances, exercise the option of contacting the DEMLR Regional Engineer as provided below in Tier Three. The Regional Engineer may direct the response actions on the part of the permittee as provided in Tier Three, including reduced or additional sampling parameters or frequency. 5. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the SPPP. b. Continue Tier Two response obligations throughout the permit renewal process. Tier Three If.- The valid sampling results required for the permit monitoring periods exceed the benchmark value, or are outside the benchmark range, for any specific parameter -at any specific outfall on four occasions, the permittee shall notify the DEMLR Regional Engineer in writing within 30 days of receipt of the fourth analytical results; Then: The Division may but is not limited to: • require that the permittee revise, increase, or decre�ase t� �� he monitoring and reporting frequency for some or all of the parameters herein;/\� • require sampling of additional or substitute parameters; • require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls; • require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures; • require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize impacts on receiving waters; or • require the permittee implemenhsite modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion; • require the permittee to continue Tier Three obligations through the Rermit renewal process. This site discharges to waters which ultimately drain to Jordan Lake. Jordan Lake is impaired and experiencing problems with Nitrogen, Phosphorus, pH, and Sediment. Under the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) approved for Jordan Lake, the permittee may be required to monitor for other pollutant(s) of concern in the future and submit results to the Division. The Division will consider the monitoring results in determining whether additional BMPs are needed to control the pollutant(s) of concern to the maximum extent practicable. If additional BMPs are needed to achieve the required level of control, the permittee will be required to (1) develop a strategy for implementing appropriate BMPs, and (2) submit a timetable for incorporation of those BMPs into the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and identify new potential sources of stormwater Part II Page 8 of 15 Permit No. NCS000048 pollution. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls must be performed during a measurable storm event. Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of representative outfall status. Qualitative monitoring shall be performed quarterly as specified in Table 4, and during required analytical monitoring events (unless the permittee is required to perform further qualitative monitoring per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below). Inability to monitor because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and recorded on the Qualitative Monitoring Report form (see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must be monitored (See Definitions). In the event an atypical condition is noted at a stormwater discharge outfall, the permittee shall document the suspected cause of the condition,and/an/y actions taken in response to the discovery. This documentation will be maintained with the SEPP. Table 4.

See Table 2 for schedule of monitoring periods through the end of this permitting cycle. The permittee must continue qualitative monitoring throughout the permit renewal process until a new permit is issued. 2 Monitoring Location: Qualitative monitoring shall be performed at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) regardless of representative outfall status. A minimum of 60 days must separate monitoring slates, unless additional sampling has been instituted as part of other analytical monitoring requirements in this permit. If the permittee's qualitative monitoring indicates that existing stormwater BMPs are ineffective, or that significant stormwater contamination is present, the permittee shall Part II Page 9 of 15 Permit No. NCS000048 investigate potential causes, evaluate the feasibility of corrective actions, and implement those corrective actions within 60 days, per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below. A written record of the permittee's investigation, evaluation, and response actions shall be kept in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. ve momtorine xesvonse Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluating SPPP effectiveness, identifying new potential sources of stormwater pollution, and prompting the permittee's response to pollution. If the permittee repeatedly fails to respond effectively to correct problems identified by qualitative monitoring, or if the discharge causes or contributes to a water quality standard violation, the Division may but is not limited to: • require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring frequency for some or all parameters (analytical or qualitative) e %��/� • require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls; • require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures; • require the permittee to perform upstream and'downstream monitoring to characterize impacts on receiving waters; or • require the permittee implement site,modifica► to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion. SECTION D: ON -SITE VEHICLE -MAINTENANCE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Facilities that have any vehicle maintenance activity occurring on -site which uses more than 55 gallons of new motor oiLper month when averaged over the calendar year shall perform analytical monitoring as specified below in Table 5. All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at all stormwater discharge outfalls (SDOs) that discharge stormwater runoff from vehicle maintenance areas, and in accordance with the schedule presented in Table 2 (Section B). Table S. Analytical Monitoring Requirements for On -Site Vehicle Maintenance Discharge Characteristics Units Measurement Fre uenc 1 Sample Type2 Sample, Location3 Non -Polar Oil & Grease by EPA Method1664 SGT-HEM mg/L Quarterly Grab SDO Total Suspended Solids m L Quarterly Grab SDO Total Rainfall4 inches Quarterly Rain gauge New Motor Oil Usage gallons/month Quarterly Estimate - Footnotes: ' 1 Measurement Frequency: Quarterly during a measureable storm event (unless other provisions of the permit prompt monthly sampling), until either another permit is issued for this facility or until this permit is revoked or rescinded. See Table 2 for schedule of monitoring periods through the end of this permitting cycle. If the facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or Three response actions Part II Page 10 of 15 Permit No. NCS000048 under the previous permit, the facility shall continue a monthly monitoring and reporting schedule in Tier Two or Tier Three status until relieved by the provisions of this permit or the Division. Z Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. When physical separation between outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, sampling shall be begun within the first 30 minutes, and shall continue until completed. 3 Sample Location- Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) that discharges stormwater runoff from area(s) where vehicle maintenance activities occur, unless representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the letter granting ROS shall be kept on site. 4 For each sampled measureable storm event the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge is required. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain gauge may be substituted for an on -site reading. Failure to monitor quarterly per permit terms may result in the Division requiring monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified ti _,period, as provided in Part II Section B. Monitoring results shall be compared to the benchmark values -in Table 6. The benchmark values in Table 6 are not permit limits but should;be,used as guidelines for the permittee's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP)..Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs), as provided in Part 11 Section B.

I hope we didn't overwhelm you with all the fun that is permit renewal! I don't know what your process is for following up on facility inspections, but in case you can use them, here are the notes I took down on Chemol. Mike, Rick, or Sue — please feel free to add to this. • They would be interested in being covered under general permit NCG06 rather than an individual permit, if that's appropriate. Their SIC code 2869 is not specified in the NCG06, but we can discuss whether their operation is similar enough to be covered under NCG06. I think you may be able to search in BIMS for other facilities with that SIC code and see what permits they have. • They have at least two outfalls on their site but have been sampling only one outfall (001) based on approval from Oct 1993 letter which may have only been applicable during application process. The problem with sampling only Outfall 001 is that it only receives stormwater from employee parking and roof, and not from the industrial areas. Outfall 002 is inaccessible, however, and there didn't appear to be an alternative sampling location upland. Suggest documenting these findings in a new letter granting ROS with added housekeeping measures on the back side of the property that would include having a spill kit, cleaning grease/oils from metal stairs and other areas, modifying tank filling procedures so grease doesn't spill down sides, etc. • No data during some of the sampling periods. They should get sample kits so facility staff can collect samples after rainfall events. • pH was outside benchmark range in at least one sample. This could be because the collected sample is not being tested for pH in a timely manner. The sample should be analyzed within 15 minutes of collection (see attached guidelines). • They need to document that they're doing annual spill response reviews. Thanks again for helping with the individual permit renewals. Feel free to call or email any time with questions. Bethany is a great resource as well.

This was probably one of the most frustrating inspections I've been on since we started doing these. He first brought out his Spill Response plan and tried to argue with me that was Chemol's SWP3, I had previously been on an inspection of this facility with Corey B and knew they had one. William had a copy of their Permit and we had to go through each bullet point of what is required. The same held true for the Qualitative monitoring reports....see our email conversation below. After I completed the walk through, he then produced the out dated SWP3 plan. To answer your question, they have not verbally stated that they are going to correct the problem as it relates to the old valve and the leaking product. It must be a small leak as product is not actively leaving their site. I plan to follow-up in a couple weeks to make sure they are making plans to correct the issue and will keep you in the loop.

I didn't realize that during my inspection. During my inspection of VP, they believed that runoff from Chemol had led to some of their past COD exceedences, and said they had had City personnel out there to address it in the past. It is complicated by the fact that VP maintains property on both sides of the Chemol process buildings, and has SW outfalls on both sides. I'm not sure how you could put them both under one permit since they are two different types of business... would have to be an individual permit, which would just be a mix of the two existing permits.

Chemol's permit expired in 2012, and although they submitted an application for renewal in 2011, it has still not been renewed by Central Office yet. See attached for a copy of the permit under which they are currently covered. Because they're still covered under this older permit, it doesn't have the newer significant spill language I gave you over the phone earlier, which is found on our more recent permits (see below): The permittee shall report to the local DWQ Regional Office, within 24 hours, all significant spills as defined in Part IV of this permit. Additionally, the permittee shall report spills including: any oil spill of 25 gallons.or more, any spill regardless of amount that causes a sheen on surface waters, any oil spill regardless of amount occurring within 100 feet of surface waters, and any oil spill less than 25 gallons that cannot be cleaned up within 24 hours. The reporting requirements for Chemol's permit are found on page 8 of the PDF and the definition of significant spills is on page 27. i guess Chemol would still go by the old definitions, since that's what's written in their permit. I'm going to ask Raleigh where they are on getting this permit renewed, since it's been almost two years since the application was received. Hope that helps! I keep finding old permits like this that Raleigh hasn't finished renewing, so if you find any more please let me know.

Additionally, any emissions activities determined from your air permit application as meeting the exemption requirements contained in 15A NCAC 2Q .0102 have been listed for information purposes as an "ATTACHMENT" to the enclosed air permit. Please note the records retention requirements are contained in General Condition 2 of the General Conditions and Limitations. If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable to you, you have the right to request a formal adjudicatory hearing within 30 days following receipt of this permit, identifying the specific issues to be contested. Such a request will stay the effectiveness of the entire permit. This hearing request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to G.S. 150B-23 of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-6714. The form for requesting a formal adjudicatory hearing may be obtained upon request from the Office of Administrative Hearings. Unless a request for a hearing is made pursuant to G.S. 150B-23, this air permit shall be final and binding. You may request modification of your air permit through informal means pursuant to G.S. 15013-22. This request must be submitted in writing to the Director and must identify the specific Winston-Salem Regional Office - Division of Air Quality One 585 Waughtown Street, Winston-Salem, Noah Carolina 27107 NorthCar'ofina Phone: (336) 771-50001 FAX: (336) 771-46321 Internet: www.ncair.org/ An Equal Opportunity 1 Affirmative Acton Employer Nawrally Frederick Wellons October 22, 2012 Page 2 provisions or issues for which the modification is sought. Please note that the permit will become final and binding regardless of a request for informal modification unless a request for a hearing is also made under G.S. 150B-23. Unless exempted by a condition of this -permit or the regulations, construction of new air pollution sources or air cleaning devices, or modifications to the sources or air cleaning devices described in this permit must be covered under a permit issued by the Division of Air Quality prior to construction. Failure to do so is a violation of G.S. 143-215.108 and may subject the Permittee to civil or criminal penalties as described in G.S. 143-215.114A and 143-215.114B. This permit shall be effective from October 22, 2012 until September 30, 2017, is nontransferable to future owners and operators, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified therein. Changes have been made to the permit stipulations. The Permittee is responsible for carefully reading the entire permit and evaluating the requirements of each permit stipulation. The Permittee shall comply with all terms, conditions, requirements, limitations and restrictions set forth in this permit. Noncompliance with any permit condition is grounds for enforcement action, for permit termination, revocation and reissuance, or modification, or for denial of a permit renewal application. Specific changes and additions, except for those already communicated with the facility, are summarized below. Please note that this list may not include all changes and additions to the permit. 1. Since the condition requiring compliance with 15A NCAC 2D .0515 "Particulates from Miscellaneous Industrial Processes" was inadvertently removed from the permit during the last revision, it was placed back in the permit for this revision. Please see permit condition AA for details. 2. A condition requiring compliance with 15A NCAC 2D .0540 "Particulates from Fugitive Dust Emission Sources" was added to the permit. Please see permit condition A.9 for details. The condition requiring compliance with 15A NCAC 2D .0958 "Work Practices for Sources of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC)" was revised to include requirements when cleaning parts with a solvent containing VOC. Please see permit condition A.I I for details. 4. A condition reiterating the facility's avoidance of 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart JJJJJJ — National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Area Sources: Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers, was added to the permit. Please see permit condition A.14 for details. 5. Permit Condition B.1 was revised. Please see said condition for details. 6. Regarding your letter dated September 24, 2012 requesting that this office determine whether a modification to the air quality permit is necessary for the trial batch of fatty ester using Specially Denatured Alcohol SDA 2-B (ethanol denatured with 0.5% Frederick Wellons October 22, 2012 Page 3 heptane), in light of the information provided, personnel of the Division of Air Quality have reviewed your letter relative to applicability to air quality permits and determined that the trial batch qualifies for exemption from permitting per 15A NCAC 02Q .0102(c)(1)(C)(1v) — research and development laboratory activities provided the activity produces no commercial product or feedstock material. Therefore, this office has determined that a modification to the air quality permit is not required for the trial batch. It should be noted that this exemption from the permitting requirement does not exempt Chemol Company, Inc. from complying with the applicable emissions control standards. It is also noted that should the trial batch no longer qualify for exemption from permitting per the exemption regulation cited above (e.g. commence to produce commercial product), the trial batch must be re-evaluated for permit applicability. Emissions resulting from R&D activities are not generally required to be accounted for on facility -wide emission summaries, but may be required at the Director's discretion. Furthermore, should you decide to modify the process, an air quality permit modification may be required and Chemol Company, Inc. should submit a permit modification application to this office prior to such actions. This exemption from the permitting requirement is based upon the information provided to the DAQ. As previously mentioned in this cover letter, the operation of any air pollution emission sources which results in emissions in excess of the threshold levels without an air quality permit is a violation of 15A NCAC 02Q .0101, "Required Air Quality Permits." If this facility is required to obtain a modification to the air quality permit for this equipment in the future, each day of operation of the emission sources without an air quality permit represents a separate violation. Such violations may be subject to enforcement action, including a civil penalty of up to $25,000 per violation and/or injunctive relief, pursuant to NCGS 143-215.114A. Should you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact Christopher W. Lewter, P.E. at (336) 771-5000. Sincerely, Margaret A. Love, P.E.

P.O. Box 16286 Greensboro, NC 27416 ROY COOPER Governor MICHAEL S. REGAN Secrelary TRACY DAVIS Director Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit Permit No. NCS000048 Chemol Company, Inc Guilford County Dear Mr. Newlin: Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. Please review the draft carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains. The draft permit contains the following significant changes from the facility's current permit: You are required to collect analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during "measurable storm events" as defined in Part 1I, Section B. This term is different from the "representative storm event" in earlier permits. 2. Tiered responses have been added to this 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 in accordance with Part II, Section B. of this permit. 3. Requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Plan (SPPP) have been updated in Part II, Section A. 4. Changes have been made to two monitoring parameters, including a change to one benchmark. Stormwater benchmarks are not permit limits, but rather guidelines for implementing the Stonnwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). A benchmark exceedance is not a permit violation; however, the permittee must respond to exceedances as directed in the Tiers. • The Total Phosphorus benchmark has been changed from 5 mg/L to 2 mg/L for consistency with other industrial stormwater permits as well as wastewater permit limits imposed on dischargers in Nutrient Sensitive Waters areas. State of North Carolina I Environmental Quality j Energy, Mineral and Land Resources 1612 Mail Service Center � 512 North Salisbury Street I Raleigh, NC 27699-1612 919 707 9200 T • Vehicle maintenance (Tables 5,6) monitoring parameters have been revised as follows: o Non -Polar Oil & Grease [EPA Method 1664 (SGT-HEM)] replaces Oil & Grease/TPH. This requirement appears in all individual stormwater permits; however, it only applies to facilities that perform onsite vehicle maintenance activities. If the facility begins vehicle maintenance during the permit cycle, the requirements shall apply. o pH monitoring is no longer required for discharges only associated with vehicle maintenance activities. 5. A new section on Special Conditions has been added in Part I1, Section E to comply with federal regulations requiring electronic submittal of discharge monitoring reports. This section of the permit will become effective December 21, 2016. 6. Civil and administrative penalty amounts have been updated to reflect current federal law in Part III, Section A, 2(b) and (g). This facility has not been granted Representative Outfall Status; as such, sampling must be done at both stormwater discharge outfalls identified at this facility. Note that the facility's current permit as well as this draft permit require quarter! monitoring at all outfalls. It is important to ensure that pH is tested onsite at the time of collection using apH meter as delaying this test could return pH levels that are not representative of the onsite conditions. Please review the draft permit and submit any comments to me no later than 30 days following your receipt of the draft. Comments may be emailed to me at julie.ventaloro(amcderingov or mailed to my attention at NCDEQ, Land Quality Section, 1612 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1612.

We didn't discuss whether they would fit into NCG06, but I will try to catch up with him about that later. But he did suggest that we hold them to the requirement to collect and test stormwater from the area of their site with the most potential for stormwater contamination. This may involve establishing a new collection point. Apparently, this is something we have required of others in some cases. Ken did not agree with the facility's assessment that grease doesn't migrate, so it is a concern that there is so much grease deposited around portions of the site. We can discuss further when you're ready to dig into it.

As a follow up to the 2010 audit of Chemol Companies Strom Water Permit concerning the 2009 reports and the 2 d quarter report for 2010. Due to an oversight Chemol did not have a contract with Operations Excellence to do Storm Water Testing for 2009 as I thought. Therefore I am informing you that Chemol Company, Inc. is in violation of its Storm Water Permit #NCS000048 for the year 2009 due to the fact that no sampling was done. (Please note it was an oversight, if the renewal notice was received 1 missed it.) The results for the second quarter 2010 sampling will arrive on Friday 9/3/10. 1 will scan and send a copy of these results the same day. Please let me know what 1 need to do as a result of this.

On August 19, 2010. OEI inspected the plant, conducted an inventory of significant exposed materials and performed visual monitoring of stonn water. Several photographs relevant to the inspection are included in this report. The findings and recommendations of this inspection are summarized as follows: • A small amount of storm water was noted around the facility. No staining, discoloration or odor was noted from the observed storm water. There was no evidence of herbicide usage along any outfall. Several material spills were seen safely within the plant drainage area. The overall condition of the facility shows that there are no significantly exposed materials (Photos la-ld). • There are still exposed drums at the rear of the facility (Photos 2a-2b). These drums should be removed or stored in a covered area. Open drums may be used as a dumping location for used oil containers or oily debris. This material could contaminate runoff if the drums overfill. • The drum storage area was nearly empty and in good condition (Photos 3a-3b). There are no signs of a spill or other pollution. The piping and containers seen in this area appear to be intact and in -ood condition. • The dock area near the street is in good condition (Photos 4a-4b). No open drums, spills or signs of pollution were noted. • The pallet storage area is in good condition (Photo 5a). One piece of equipment was seen in this area (Photo 5b). OEI recommends this item be covered or stored elsewhere. • The AST areas appear to be in good condition. with spills and residue still within the containment dikes (Photos 6a-6d). • There appears to be a small amount of material spilled in the railcar area (Photo 7). This should be checked and the material removed. • A small spill was seen in an area where runoff would flow into the street (Photo 8). OEI recommends that this material be cleaned up as soon as possible. This report should be filed xvith the planVs copy of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. This documentation must be retained onsite for a period of five (5) years and made available to the Director of the Division of Environmental Management or his/her authorized representative upon request.

These drums should be checked to ensure that they do not contain any chemicals or oils that could contaminate runoff if the drums overfill. • The drum storage area was locked and in good condition (Photos 3a-3d). There are no signs of drum leakage or other pollution. Open drums were not observed. • The trash bin near the street was not overfilled or subject to overflow (Photo 4). • The pallet storage area is in generally good condition (Photos 5a-5b). Uncovered equipment is still being stored in this area. Equipment left outside should be covered or checked to ensure that they have no oil or chemical residues. • A few drums were observed in the dock area (Photo 6). They are properly stored in a covered area. There were no signs of pollution in the immediate area of these drums. • The AST areas appear to be in good condition (Photos 7a-7d). One containment area (Photo 7c) appears to have some chemical debris. OEI recommends that this debris be removed in case there is a containment overflow. • There is a spill near the dock area that appears to be a powdered chemical (Photos 8a-8b). This should be cleaned up as soon as possible. OEI recommends that this be checked regularly since this location does not drain into the plant but towards the street. Leaks here could drain past a covered area and become a source of runoff pollution. • The overall condition of the facility shows that there are no significantly exposed materials. This report should be fled with the plant's copy of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.

Several photographs relevant to the inspection are included in this report. The findings and recommendations of this inspection are summarized as follows: • A small amount of storm water was noted around the facility (Photos 1 a-1 d). No staining, discoloration or odor was noted from the observed storm water. There was no evidence of herbicide usage along any outfall. • The integrity of the ASTs and secondary containment are in good condition. The concrete dikes appear to have been emptied recently (Photos 2a-2b). Care should be taken regarding the location of small pails (as seen in Photo 2a) so that they are not easily knocked over outside the dike, dumping contents that would go into a runoff area. • The drum storage area was locked and in good condition (Photos 3a-3c). . There are no signs of drum leakage or other pollution. Open drums were not observed. A small amount of spilled material was noted next to the drum storage area (Photo 3d). Materials spilled in this area could easily contaminate runoff. OEI recommends that any spills such as this be cleaned up as soon as possible. • The trash bin near the street was not overfilled or subject to overflo%v (Photo 4). • The pallet storage area is in generally good condition (Photos 5a-5b).

Such documentation shall be kept on -site for a period of five years and made available to the Director or his authorized representative immediately upon request. 2. Minimum Monitoring and Reporting Requirements Minimum monitoring and reporting requirements are as follows unless otherwise approved in writing by the Director of the Division of Water Quality. a. If a facility has multiple discharge locations with substantially identical stormwater discharges that are required to be sampled, the permittee may petition the Director for representative outfall status. If it is established that the stormwater discharges are substantially identical and the permittee is granted representative outfall status, then sampling requirements may be performed at a reduced number of outfalls. b_ Visual monitoring for color, odor, solids, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow shall be performed at all stormwater discharge outfall locations. All visual monitoring shall be documented and records maintained with the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. The initial visual monitoring event shall be performed simultaneously Page 6 Permit No. NCS000048 with the first analytical monitoring event and documentation of only this initial visual monitoring event shall be submitted along with the required analytical monitoring submittal. C. For purposes of the stormwater sampling required in this permit, all samples shall be collected from a discharge resulting from a representative storm event (See Part II, Standard Conditions, Section A). Failure to monitor storm events in accordance with the specified frequency shall constitute a violation of this permit. If the stormwater runoff is controlled by a detention pond, the following sampling requirements shall apply: (1) If the detention pond detains the runoff generated by one inch of rainfall for 24 hours, visual observations for color, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens, and dry weather flow are required. but analytical sampling shall not -be required. (2) If the detention pond discharges only in response to a storm event exceeding a 25- year, 24-hour storm (See Part II, Standard Conditions, Section A), the pond shall be considered a non -discharging stormwater control system and not subject to NPDES requirements, unless the discharge causes a violation of water quality standards. d. Samples analyzed in accordance with the terms of this permit shall be submitted on forms provided by the Director no later than January 31 for the previous year in which sampling was required to be performed. e. Analytical results from sampling during the final year of the permit term shall be submitted with the permit renewal application. f. This permit regulates stormwater discharges. Non-stormwater discharges which shall be allowed in the stormwater conveyance system are: (1) All other discharges that are authorized by a non-stormwater NPDES permit. (2) Uncontaminated groundwater, foundation drains, air -conditioner condensate without added chemicals, springs, discharges of uncontaminated potable water, waterline and fire hydrant flushings, water from footing drains, flows from riparian habitats and wetlands. (3) Discharges resulting from fire -fighting. If the storm event monitored and reported in accordance with this permit coincides with a —non-stormwater discharge, the permittee shall separately monitor and report all parameters as required under the non-stormwater discharge permit and provide this information with the stormwater discharge monitoring report. Page 7 Permit No. NCS000048 g. Specific Stormwater Monitoring Requirements The specific stormwater monitoring requirements includes both analytical and visual monitoring of stormwater samples.

Individual Stormwater Page A11 11. Pe:=it Actions This permit may be modified, revoked and reissued, or terminated for cause. The notification of planned changes or anticipated noncompliance does not stay any permit condition. •1N• •• �• a • '• A IRIANa • a:• �� a■, r •� •�■ �. The permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit. Proper operation and maintenance also includes adequate laboratory controls and appropriate quality assurance procedures. This provision requires the operation of back-up or auxiliary facilities or similar systems which are installed by a permittee only when the operation is necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of the permit 2. Need to H2-!t or Reduce not a Demme It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessan. to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the condition of this permit_ 3. Bs-r;a�z`ns:nF of Sto-mw2ter Control Facilities a. DeLrtitions (1) "Bypass" means the known diversion of stormwater from any portion of a stormwater control facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility. (2) "Severe property darnage" means substantial physical damage to property, damage to the control facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss caused by delays in production. b. Bypass Not Exceeding Limitations. The perminee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause limitations to be exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation. These bypasses are not subject to the provisions of Paragraphs c. and d. of this section. c. Notice {1} Anticipated bypass. If the permina knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass; including an evaluation of the anticipated quality and affect of the bypass. Individual Stormwater Page Al2 (2) Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice within 24 hours of an unanticipated bypass as required in Part II, E. 5. of this permit. (24- hour notice). d. Prohibition of Bypass Bypass is prohibited and the Director may take enforcement action against a permittee for bypass, unless: (1) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property damage; (2) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary control facilities, retention of storm -water or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime or dry weather. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup controls should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and (3) The permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph c. of this section. The Director may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its adverse effects, if the Director determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above in Paragraph d. of this section. 4.LSets a. Definition "Upset " means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors beyond the reasonable control of the perinittee. An upset does not include noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment or control facilities, inadequate treatment or control facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation. b. Effect of an upset. An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final administrative action subject to judicial review. C. Conditions Necessary for a Demonstration of Upset A perminee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate, through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that; . (1) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset; Individual Stormwater Page A13 (2) The permitted facility was at the time being properly operated; and (3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II, E. 5. (b) (B) of this permit- (4) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part II, A. 2. of this permit. d. Burden of Proof In any enforcement proceeding the permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an upset has the burden of proof. Samples collected and measurements taken, as required herein, shall be characteristic of the volume and nature of the permitted discharge. Samples shall be taken on a day and time that is characteristic of the discharge. All samples shall be taken before the discharge joins or is diluted by any other waste stream, body of water, or substance.

Div. of CBP Resources Guilford County Dear Mr. Spencer: In accordance with your Petition for a Contested Case Hearing, 94 EHR 1717, dated December 1, 1994, we are forwarding herewith a redrafted'permit outlining the modifications removing the requirement to segregate the stormwater runoff from the roadway and the Chemol site runoff. During a site visit, the Winston-Salem Regional Office staff confirmed that the property where the truck drainage leaks occur is on the neighboring rendering facility operation and therefore, removal of the condition from the Chemol permit is appropriate. It is our understanding that the two facilities, Chemol and Carolina Byproducts are two divisions of CBP Resources, Inc. If the Division determines that the two permits issued,to,_the.separate divisions, Chemol (NCS000048) and CBP Resources (NCG060131), do not result in a resolution ofsthe stormwater runoff problems, the Division may require that one permit be issued to CBP Resources, Inc. to cover both sites. Attached is a draft of the revised permit. If any terms or conditions proposed by this modification art, - unacceptable to you, you should notify us by March 20, 1995. If this permit modification is acceptable, Chemol must complete the attached Notice of Withdrawal of Petition form by March 20, 1995 and submit one copy to the Attorney General's Office as specified on the withdrawal form and one copy to this . Division. The original Notice of Withdrawal form should be submitted to the Office of Administrative Hearings. When you have withdrawn your request for a Contested Case Hearing, the modified permit will be issued. If,the proposed modification is not acceptable to you, we will proceed with the adjudicatory process. If you have any questions or comments, please contact Coleen H.

The site plan shall contain the following: (1) A general location map (USGS quadrangle map or appropriately drafted equivalent map), showing the facility's location in relation to transportation routes and surface me waters, the naof the receiving waters) to which the stormwater outfall(s) discharges, or if the discharge is to a municipal separate storm sewer system, the name of the municipality and the ultimate receiving waters; and accurate latitude and longitude of the point(s) of discharge. (2) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities, outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and waste disposal practices. (3) A site map drawn to scale with the distance legend indicating location of industrial activities (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas and loading and unloading areas), drainage structures, drainage areas for each outfall and activities occurring in the drainage area (including delineation of public storm drain grates and actual outfalls), building locations and impervious surfaces, and the percentage of each drainage area that is imper6ous. For each outfall, a narrative description of the potential pollutants which could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge. (4) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred at the facility during the 3 previous years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts. (5) 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 II, Standard Conditions, Section B.9. Page 4 Permit No. NCSOW048 b . 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: (1) A study addressing 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 practicable the permittee shall cover all storage areas, material handling operations, manufacturing or fueling operations to prevent materials exposure to stormwater. In areas where elimination of exposure is not practicable, the stormwater management plan- shall document the feasibility of diverting the stormwater runoff away from areas of potential contamination. (2) A schedule to provide secondary containment for bulk storage of liquid materials, storage of Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority chemicals, or storage of hazardous materials to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. 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 with a locking mechanism] and any stormwater that accumulates in the containment area shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam, and visible sheens, prior to release of the accumulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be uncontaminated. 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. (3) A narrative description shall be provided of Best Management Practices (BMPs) to be considered such as, but not limited to, oil and grease separation, debris control, vegetative filter strips, infiltration and stormwater detention or retention, where necessary.. The need for structural BMPs shall be based on the assessment of potential of sources to contribute significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected through monitoring of stormwater discharges. (4) Inspection schedules of stormwater conveyances and controls and measures to be taken to limit or prevent erosion associated with the stormwater systems. c. Spill Prevention and Response Plan. The Spill Prevention and Response Plan .shall incorporate a risk assessment of potential pollutant sources based'on a materials inventory of the facility. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the plan shall be identified in 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. d. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance program shall be developed. The program shall document schedules of inspections and maintenance activities of stormwater control systems, plant equipment and systems. Inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program. e. Employee Training. Training schedules shall be developed and training provided at a minimum on an annual basis on proper spill response and cleanup procedures and preventative maintenance activities for all personnel involved in any of the facility's Page 5 Permit No. NCS000048 operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the training shall be identified in the Plan. f. Responsible Party. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall identify a specific position(s) responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision to the Plan. Responsibilities for all components of the Plan shall be documented and position(s) assignments provided. 9. Plan Ammendment. The permittee shall amend the Plan whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, or maintenance which has a significant effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. 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 II, Standard Conditions, Section B, #9) to the Director that the changes have been made. h . Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur at a minimum on a semiannual schedule, once in the fall (September -November) and once during the spring (April - June). The inspection and any subsequent maintenance activities performed shall be documented, recording date and time of inspection, individual(s) making the inspection and a narrative description of the facility's stormwater control systems, plant equipment and systems. Records of these inspections shall be incorporated into the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. Visual monitoring as required in I.A.2.g.(3) shall be performed -in addition to facility inspections. Implementation. Implementation of the plan shall include documentation of all monitoring, measurements, inspections and maintenance activities and training provided to employees, including the log of the sampling data and of activities taken to implement BMPs associated with the industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance activities. Such documentation shall be kept on -site for a period of five years and made available to the Director or his authorized representative immediately upon request. 2. Minimum Monitoring and Rgortine Requirements -r Minimum monitoring and reporting requirements are as follows unless otherwise approved in writing by the Director of the Division of Environmental Management. If a facility has multiple discharge locations with substantially identical stormwater discharges that are required to be sampled, the permittee may petition the Director for representative outfall status. if it is established that the stormwater discharges are substantially identical and the permittee is granted representative outfall status, then sampling requirements may be performed at a reduced number of outfalls. b . Visual monitoring for color, odor, solids, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow shall be, performed at all stormwater discharge outfall locations. All visual monitoring shall be documented and records maintained with the Stormwawr Pollution Prevention Plan. The initial visual monitoring event shall be performed simultaneously Page 6 Permit No. NCS000048 with the first analytical monitoring event and documentation of only this initial visual monitoring event shall be submitted along with the required analytical monitoring submittal. C. For purposes of the stormwater sampling required in this permit, all samples shall be collected from a discharge resulting from a representative storm event (See Part 11, Standard Conditions, Section A). Failure to monitor storm events in accordance with the specified frequency shall constitute a violation of this permit. If the stormwater runoff is controlled by a detention pond, the following sampling requirements shall apply: (1) If the detention pond detains the runoff generated by one inch of rainfall for 24 hours, visual observations for color, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens, and dry weather flow are -required, but analytical sampling shall not be required. (2) If the detention pond discharges only in response to a storm event exceeding a 25- year, 24-hour storm (See Part II, Standard Conditions, Section A), the pond shall be considered a non -discharging stormwater control system and not subject to NPDES requirements, unless the discharge causes a violation of water quality standards. d. Samples analyzed in accordance with the terms of this permit shall be submitted on forms provided by the Director no later than January 31 for the previous year in which sampling was required to be performed. e. Analytical results from sampling during the final year. of the permit term shall be submitted with the permit renewal application. f. This permit regulates stormwater discharges. Non-stormwater discharges which shall be allowed in the stormwater conveyance system are: �-='"_" (1) All other discharges that are authorized by a non-stormwater NPDES permit. (2) Uncontaminated groundwater, foundation drains, air -conditioner condensate without added chemicals, springs, discharges of uncontaminated potable water, waterline and fire hydrant flushings, water froin footing drains, flows from riparian habitats and wetlands. (3) Discharges resulting from fire -fighting. If the storm event monitored and reported in accordance with this permit coincides with a non-stormwater discharge, the-permittee shall separately monitor and report all parameters as required under the non-stormwater discharge permit and provide this information with the stormwater discharge monitoring report.

During your site visit, will you look into the number of outfalls at this facility? This applicant has been sampling at one outfall, though there are two outfalls noted on the site plan. On October 27, 1993 the Division granted the applicant permission to sample at only one of these outfalls in order to collect samples prior to their first stormwater permit. However, there is no documentation in the file that the applicant was granted permission to continue sampling only one location during the permitting cycles to come. It may be the case that they can continue to sample at the one location, but it is worth looking into. Thanks, Kelly Corey Basinger wrote: Kelly, OK to issue Chemol permit. I spoke to the pretreatment coordinator with City of Greensboro and she said that they were doing much better and had addressed our issues. I do still plan to visit them in the next couple weeks.

Director Division of Water Quality March 16, 2007 Subject: Individual Permit No. NCS 000048 Chemol Co Incorporated Guilford County Dear Mr. Heimberger: 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: • pH has been added per DWQ current strategy. potential lag time between the e`xpiratiori of tliis permif and its renewal; the permittee is responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote 1 of Tables 1, 4, and 5. • The flow reporting requirement has been removed from the analytical monitoring requirements per DWQ revised strategy. Total rainfall and event duration have been retained. o Benchmarks have been added to this draft permit. These benchmarks are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). New language specifies that if any measurements exceed benchmark values, you should evaluate the effectiveness of its BMPs, review and/or update your SPPP, and document any efforts to address stormwater contamination. See Part II, Sections B & D. • All monitoring has been changed to quarterly. • Vehicle maintenance is not done onsite. However, should you begin these operations, you will have to sample quarterly. • Part II Section A has been revised. It now specifies all of the items to include on the site map. • Please note that there is a qualitative monitoring results form on our website that can help you summarize all of your required data, http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/Forms_Documents.htm.

This Plan shall be considered public information in accordance with Part III, Standard Conditions, Section E, Paragraph 3 of this individual permit. The PIan shall include, at a minimum, the following items: 1. Site Plan. The site plan shall provide a description of the physical facility and the potential pollutant sources which may be expected to contribute to contamination of stormwater discharges. The site plan shall contain the following: a. A general location map (USGS quadrangle map or appropriately drafted equivalent map), showing the facility's location in relation to transportation routes and surface waters, the name of the receiving water(s) to which the stormwater outfall(s) discharges, or if the discharge is to a municipal separate storm sewer system, the name of the municipality and the ultimate receiving waters; and accurate latitude and longitude of the point(s) of discharge. b. A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities, outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and waste disposal practices. C. A site map drawn to scale with the following items: (1) Distance legend and north arrow (2) Location of industrial activities (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas and loading and unloading areas) (3) Drainage structures (4) Delineated drainage areas for each outfall (5) Drainage area for each outfall in acres and percentage of each drainage area that is impervious (6) Building locations (7)- Existing BMPs and impervious surfaces (8) For each outfall, a narrative description of the potential pollutants that could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge. d. A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred at the facility during the 3 previous years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts. 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 3. Part 11 Page I of 8 Permit No. NCS000048 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. In areas where elimination of exposure is not practical, the stormwater management plan shall document the feasibility of diverting the stormwater runoff away from areas of potential contamination. b. Secondary Containment Schedule. A schedule to provide secondary containment for bulk storage of liquid materials, storage of Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority chemicals, or storage of hazardous substances to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. 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 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. BMP Summary. A narrative description shall be provided of Best Management Practices (BMPs) to be considered such as, but not limited to, oil and grease separation, debris control, vegetative filter strips, infiltration and stormwater detention or retention, where necessary. The need for structural BMPs shall be based on. the assessment of potential of sources to contribute significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected through monitoring of stormwater discharges. 3. 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 team) responsible for implementing the SPRP shall be identified. 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, a SPCC plan may be a component of the SPRP, but may Part II Page 2 of 8 Permit No. NCS000048 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 SPRP. 4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program.

Overburden Any material of any nature, consolidated or unconsolidated, that overlies a mineral deposit, excluding topsoil or similar naturally -occurring surface materials that are not disturbed by mining operations. Part VI Page 2 of 5 Pages Permit No. NCS000048 16. Permittee The owner or operator issued a permit pursuant to this individual permit. 17. Point Source Discharge of Stormwater Any discernible, confined and discrete conveyance including, but not specifically limited to, any pipe, ditch, channel, tunnel, conduit, well, or discrete fissure from which stormwater is or may be discharged to waters of the state. 18. Representative Storm Event 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. 19. Representative Outfall Status When it is'established that the discharge of stormwater runoff from a single outfall is representative of the discharges at multiple outfalls, the DWQ may grant representative outfall status. Representative outfall status allows the permittee to perform analytical monitoring at a reduced number of outfalls. 20. Rinse Water Discharae The discharge of rinse water from equipment cleaning areas associated with industrial activity. Rinse waters from vehicle and equipment cleaning areas are process wastewaters and do not include washwaters utilizing any type of detergent or cleaning agent. 21. Secondary Containment Spill containment for the contents of the single largest tank within the containment structure plus sufficient freeboard to allow for the 25-year, 24-hour storm event. 22. Section 313 Water Priority Chemical A chemical or chemical category which: a. Is listed in 40 CFR 372.65 pursuant to Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) of 1986, also titled the Emergency Planning and Community Right - to -Know Act of 1986; b. Is present at or above threshold levels at a facility subject to SARA title III, Section 313 reporting requirements; and C. That meet at least one of the following criteria: (1) Is listed in Appendix D of 40 CFR part 122 on either Table 11(organic priority pollutants), Table III (certain metals, cyanides, and phenols) or Table IV (certain toxic pollutants and hazardous substances); (2) Is listed as a hazardous substance pursuant to section 311(b)(2)(A) of the C WA at 40 CFR 116.4; or (3) Is a pollutant for which EPA has published acute or chronic water quality criteria.

NOD from WSRO for non-functioning alarms and pumps, cracked secondary containment, etc. 2. Data review. a. Only two drainage outfalls identified, but perhaps four drainage areas exist, per site plan layout. Should be corrected, or explained. b. Only one outfall sampled. Permittee mistakenly assumed to have representative outfall status, apparently. Should be corrected by notification in the transmittal letter and requiring sampling at all outfalls in thepermit. See item 5. c. Data for the one outfall was incomplete. Should be corrected d. The incomplete data exceeded benchmark values. Add new provisions requiring action in new permit. e. Sample frequency to be increased from previous 3+4 to 2/yr for 5 yrs. 3. Permit text a. Note added pH, not in 1999 permit. Appropriate since pH reported outside benchmark range, and we know from file materials that acids are on site. (�b. Consider whether being next door to, and intimately associated with, Carolina ByProducts - a rendering facility- suggests that the imported animal parts and fats provide a potential source for fecal coliform or other bacteriological indicators of pollution. Consider adding fecal or alternate bacteriological ® indicator. c. Given that animal fats are the raw material, I wonder if FOG would be preferable to O&G. Maybe check with Connie to see if O&G substantially captures fats. If not, maybe we need help selecting a benchmark for FOG. d. I concur with quarterly -- continuing exceedances of benchmark values for BOD and COD, plus pH values suggest more attention and action required. 4. Staff report a. Concur with adding pH. b. Concur with new permit requirement to continue sampling upon expiration. c. Concur with quarterly monitoring, based on the indication that more attention to the condition of runoff would be beneficial at this site. d. Concur with retaining the vehicle maintenance section, even though applicant reports no vehicle maintenance activities currently. e. Concur with specifying site map contents. ® f. Note production of amids - do we need to test for additional forms of N, other than just TN? While TN gives us an idea of nutrient contribution, a form like NH3 would give us a feel for toxicity. Maybe ask BB on this. g. Concur with conclusion that applicant's has submitted sufficient info to renew the permit. May need just a little more info/decisions internally to determine final form for draft permit. 5. Representative outfall status and related issues a. Note that the text of the 10/27/93 DWQ letter to applicant says in two places - that the representative status is.for purposes of the initial application, i.e. prior to issuance of the first permit. There is no indication in the file materials that DWQ subsequently agreed to carry this status forward into the life of the permit. On the contrary, the texts of the 12/1/94 permit, the revised 3/8/95 permit, the re -revised 12/19/96 permit, and the 12/1/99 reissued permit all carry the explicit instruction that each outfall is to be sampled. These were individual permits, intended to be specifically crafted for the conditions at the exfcr-D EPA ii 601 +CNe1KCAL + q (_b t�uDVCTS T'"'Tk C� .

Why would we continue to require sampling at every outfall in the permit text, if it was our intent to grant representative status? I don't think we would. So, I conclude that we never granted representative outfall status (based on the lack of documentation to that effect, and based on the repeated permit text.) b. Note further that the 40CFR citation offered in the 1993 letter is specifically concerned with the initial application, not the continuing life of the permit. c. Note that sample results for Outfail 001 have never been submitted to DWQ. It has been 13+ years since the 1993 letter; facilities can change over that length of time. Even if, by our inaction, we have inadvertently indicated agreement with representative outfall status, my opinion is that it is appropriate for us to revisit that inadvertent result, and require sampling at all outfalls. If subsequent data (after a couple of years) substantiates a basis for representative outfall status, we can reconsider, and reduce the monitoring burden on the permittee. d. Second, related point: Note that the site plan shows sizable industrial activity areas not identified as drainage areas. On what basis? Even if these areas are piped or trenched to the WWTP, they still are stormwater drainage areas, they still must be shown on the site plan as such. And any surface discharge from them is another stormwater discharge outfall point unless it totally, 100% positively is conveyed to the WWTP. It seems the permittee needs to satisfy our concern on the physical facts in these areas of the site. b. Peer review summary a. Concur w/ pH, quarterly, site plan requirements, continuation of sampling. b. Consider adding fecal (or other bact.), NH3, FOG in lieu of O&G. c. Suggest require sampling at all outfalls, not just #002. d. Suggest require explanation or revised site plan or recognition of additional previously unidentified outfalls.

Central Office Review Summary: This facility discharges to Mile Run Creek in the Cape Fear River Basin in subbasin 03-06-02 (C, NSW). This stream is not impaired on the draft 2006 303(d) list. The facility is not far upstream (--3/4 mile) from the point where Mile Run Creek flows to South Buffalo Creek (AU 16-11-14-2a), which is impaired for impaired biological integrity (1998) and turbidity standard violations (2006). Both the Basinwide plan and the 303(d) list MS4 NPDES as the source of stress for South Buffalo Creek. —Following -an-inspection -by-Corey- Basinger -(-Winston- Salem _Regional Office) and -the _Greensboro_ Stormwater— Department, the permittee was issued a Notice of Deficiency on January 18, 2005. The permittee was given deadlines to complete five items. All deadlines were within February 2005. a) Repair cracks in the dyke protecting the acid tanks. b) Repair the tank high level alarms. c) Repair the Rail Line sump pump so that the wastewater is properly directed. d) Label all drums. e) Determine and label the source of all lines that discharge outside of the dyke structure. DWQ recommended three additional changes without deadlines, 1.) After the permit is issued the permittee should update the SPPP, 2.) Label all pipes at the facility, and 3.) Clean out all of the drains at the facility. The reviewer contacted Corey Basinger (WSRO) and verified that a follow up inspection was conducted. Most of the items were resolved and the remaining issues were going to take more time as funding was required from their corporate office. Corey will be in contact with the applicant to follow up, and supports re -issuance of the permit in accordance with the current Division guidelines. The permit expired November 30, 2004. No monitoring data has been submitted since expiration.

Yet, no stain, discoloration or odor was noted at the discharge point where the permittee's property meets the city street Data not submitted 4 Qualitative Monitoring Results: The permittee reports that the water has been consistently clear, and that there have not been any color, foam, odor, oil sheen or other signs of pollution on the days that they have monitored. However, on November 19, 2003 the lab analysis reports that the BOD5 was more than three times the benchmark, the COD was approximately twice the benchmark, and the TSS was in excess of the benchmark. Additionally, the pH was highly acidic (4.8) which is well below the benchmark (6-9). Significant solids, unclarity, and foam would be expected under these conditions. The permittee reports that this date represented the heaviest rain qualitatively monitored for the permitted timeframe. Therefore, low (diluted) analytical results would be expected on this date. November 19, 2003 is the only date that both analytical and qualitative monitoring were performed, and is therefore the only date that such monitoring can be compared. The permittee did not adhere to the monitoring directions on the qualitative monitoring form requiring the permittee to use numerical estimates for clarity, floating solids, and suspended solids. The reviewer recommends that the permittee be more diligent when conducting qualitative monitoring, and submit such monitoring regularly to the Division after each monitoring event using the methodology set out in the Division's Qualitative Monitoring form. Though it is not required on the Qualitative Monitoring form, the reviewer recommends that the permittee consider reporting the number of inches of rain as well as the duration of the rain event for this monitoring. Qualitative monitoring results were not submitted at regular intervals during the permitted timeframe. It appears from the file that all of these results were submitted only with the renewal application. Analytical Monitoring: 1. pH has been added. Though the permittee sampled for pH, it was not required in the previous permit. - This -was -likely an -oversight -in -the previous permit: --------------- 2. Due to a potential lag time between the expiration of this permit and its renewal, the reviewer has specified in the permit that the permittee is responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote 1 of Tables 1, 4, and 5. This approach is recommended because the applicant has not continued adequate monitoring since the permit expiration. 3. The flow reporting requirement has been removed from the analytical monitoring requirements per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall and event duration parameters have been retained.) Instead, Part II Section A clarifies that the SPPP site map include drainage area for each outfall in acres and percent impervious area in each drainage area (should flow ever need to be estimated.) 4. Benchmarks have been added to this draft permit. These benchmarks are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for the facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). New language specifies that if any measurements exceed benchmark values, the facility should evaluate the effectiveness of its BMPs, review and/or update its SPPP, and document any efforts to address stormwater contamination. See Part II, Sections B & D. 5. All monitoring has been changed to quarterly. The Division has altered its policy since the previous permit where annual monitoring in years 1,2, and 3 and quarterly monitoring in year 4 was required. The Division now typically requires semi-annual monitoring for all years. This permittee will have to monitor quarterly (more often than the typical Division policy) in response to poor analytical monitoring results during the previous cycle. This permittee did not submit all of the required samples for pH and TN in the previous cycle. Of those submitted, pH was below the benchmark in 80% of the samples, and TN was over the benchmark in 25% of the samples. Additionally, of the seven required samples submitted during the previous cycle for the remaining parameters, the permittee exceeded each parameter in the following percentages of the samples; oil and grease, 14%; BOD5, 43%; COD, 57%; TSS 14%; and TP, 0%. 6. Vehicle maintenance is not done onsite. However, should the facility begin these operations, they will have to sample quarterly. This time was chosen to be in line with the other analytical and qualitative monitoring. 7. There have been three significant operational changes: a. Removal of a 92,000 gallon vegetable oil tank from service (tank BV-1) - b. Installation of a new ester tank farm of three storage tanks to store non -hazardous finished products (contained) 5 NCS000048 c. Enhancement of the plant's secondary containment system and process sewer system 8. Part II Section A has been revised. It now specifies all of the items to include on the site map. 9. Total phosphorus levels have been low over the past several years, but this requirement has not been removed because this facility drains to NSW waters. 10. This applicant has been sampling at one outfali, though there are two outfalIs noted on the site plan. On October 27, 1993 the Division granted the applicant permission to sample at only one of these outfalls in order to collect samples prior to their first stormwater permit. However, there is no documentation in the file that the applicant was granted permission to continue sampling only one location during the permitting cycles to come. This is likely a misunderstanding. However, a site visit is recommended to determine how many outfalls exist at the facility in order to correct this misunderstanding for the upcoming cycle. See the Recommendations section. Follow-up with the company contact (Mark Heimberger/336.333.3071/January 8, 2007 & January 26, 2007) 1. Your company was issued a Notice of Deficiency on 18 January 2005. Our file does not contain further correspondence from you. Have you addressed the concerns set forth in this letter? (On 23 January 2007, C. Basinger said that there was a follow up inspection. However, documentation is not in the SPU or Central files.) Mr. Heimberger faxed over a copy of two letters that he sent us in response to this issue (they were evidently improperly filed at DWQ).

Do you conduct vehicle maintenance at your facility? If so, how many gallons of new motor oil do you produce each month? (A 55-gallon average will require vehicle maintenance monitoring.) No. 3. What does your facility manufacture? From your website I believe that you manufacture textile processing chemicals. They manufacture waxes and hydrogenated fats and oils. They also react fatty acids with alcohols to make esters, and also produce amides. Note about information from applicant: Amides are organic, and contain the chemical group—CONHZ. They are water-soluble, and most are solid at room temperature. 6 NCS000048 4. Your company name is "The Seydel Companies". How is this company related to Carolina ByProducts and/or CBP Resources? In the early 1990s, both Chemol and Carolina Byproducts (CBP) were Divisions of CBP Resources. In approximately 1996, Chemol was sold to the Seydel Companies. Chemol is still next door to Carolina ByProducts, but is not associated with them in any way. They do not share raw materials or products with one another. Actually, Carolina ByProducts is no longer a manufacturing operation. It is only a transfer operation where "animal parts" are taken from small trucks and put onto larger trucks. Recommendation: Based on the documents reviewed, the application information submitted on June 2, 2004 is sufficient to issue an Individual Stormwater Permit. A site visit is recommended for this facility. Because the applicant did not submit the appropriate materials at the time of the application, and also failed to submit them when they were requested in December of 2004 the following questions are recommended to be asked onsite: 1.

This petition is not in the file, though it is referenced in the March 8, 1995 letter. • March 8, 1995: Letter with redrafted permit for issuance when they withdraw petition. This redrafted permit removed the requirement to segregate stormwater runoff from the roadway and Chemol site runoff because the runoff from leaking trucks is on the property of the "neighboring rendering facility operation". The neighboring facility is permitted separately as Carolina Byproducts (NCG 060131), though this facility and Chemol are both Divisions of CBP Resources. This letter warns that if runoff problems are not resolved, then the Division may require one permit for the two CBP Divisions. • March 23, 1995: Letter containing a new permit issued to "Chemol Co.

(This was not all of the deficient items.) • January 23, 2007: Email between Corey Basinger and Kelly Johnson. Corey conducted a follow-up site visit with the City of Greensboro. The company was waiting on funding from their headquarters to do the remaining items. Corey will follow up with the company. • January 26, 2007: Kelly'Johnson verified with the applicant that the facility is now owned by The Seydel Company and that it is no longer associated with Carolina ByProducts in any way. Central Office Review Summary: This facility discharges to Mile Run Creek in the Cape Fear River Basin in subbasin 03-06-02 (C, NSW). This stream is not impaired on the draft 2006 303(d) list. The facility is not far upstream (--3/4 mile) from the point where Mile Run Creek flows to South Buffalo Creek (AU 16-11-14-2a), which is impaired for impaired biological integrity (1998) and turbidity standard violations (2006). Both the Basinwide plan and the 303(d) list MS4 NPDES as the source of stress for South Buffalo Creek. Following an.inspection by Corey Basinger_(Winston_Salem_Regional Office)-and_the Greensboro_Stormwater__ ._ Department, the permittee was issued a Notice of Deficiency on January 18, 2005. The permittee was given deadlines to complete five items. All deadlines were within February 2005. a) Repair cracks in the dyke protecting the acid tanks. b) Repair the tank high level alarms. c) Repair the Rail Line sump pump so that the wastewater is properly directed. d) Label all drums. e) Determine and label the source of all lines that discharge outside of the dyke structure. DWQ recommended three additional changes without deadlines, 1.) After the permit is issued the permittee should update the SPPP, 2.) Label all pipes at the facility, and 3.) CIean out all of the drains at the facility. The reviewer contacted Corey Basinger (WSRO) and verified that a follow up inspection was conducted. Most of the items were resolved and the remaining issues were going to take more time as funding was required from their corporate office. Corey will be in contact with the applicant to follow up, and supports re -issuance of the permit in accordance with the current Division guidelines. The permit expired November 30, 2004. No monitoring data has been submitted since expiration.

Yet, no stain, discoloration or odor was noted at the discharge point where the permittee's property meets the city street Data not submitted - Qualitative Monitoring Results: The permittee reports that the water has been consistently clear, and that there have not been any color, foam, odor, oil sheen or other signs of pollution on the days that they have monitored. However, on November 19, 2003 the lab analysis reports that the BODS was more than three times the benchmark, the COD was approximately twice the benchmark, and the TSS was in excess of the benchmark. Additionally, the pH was highly acidic (4.8) which is well below the benchmark (6-9). Significant solids, unclarity, and foam would be expected under these conditions. The permittee reports that this date represented the heaviest rain qualitatively monitored for the permitted timeframe. Therefore, low (diluted) analytical results would be expected on this date. November 19, 2003 is the only date that both analytical and qualitative monitoring were performed, and is therefore the only date that such monitoring can be compared. The permittee did not adhere to the monitoring directions on the qualitative monitoring form requiring the permittee to use numerical estimates for clarity, floating solids, and suspended solids. The reviewer recommends that the permittee be more diligent when conducting qualitative monitoring, and submit such monitoring regularly to the Division after each monitoring event using the methodology set out in the Division's Qualitative Monitoring form. Though it is not required on the Qualitative Monitoring form, the reviewer recommends that the permittee consider reporting the number of inches of rain as well as the duration of the rain event for this monitoring. Qualitative monitoring results were not submitted at regular intervals during the permitted timeframe. It appears from the file that all of these results were submitted only with the renewal application. Analytical Monitoring: 1. pH has been added. Though the permittee sampled for pH, it was not required in the previous permit. This was likely_an.oversight in.the.previous .permit. 2. Due to a potential lag time between the expiration of this permit and its renewal, the reviewer has specified in the permit that the permittee is responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote 1 of Tables 1, 4, and 5. This approach is recommended because the applicant has not continued adequate monitoring since the permit expiration. 3. The flow reporting requirement has been removed from the analytical monitoring requirements per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall and event duration parameters have been retained.) Instead, Part II Section A clarifies that the SPPP site map include drainage area for each outfall in acres and percent impervious area in each drainage area (should flow ever need to be estimated.) 4. Benchmarks have been added to this draft permit. These benchmarks are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for the facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). New language specifies that if any measurements exceed benchmark values, the facility should evaluate the effectiveness of its BMPs, review and/or update its SPPP, and document any efforts to address stormwater contamination. See Part II, Sections B & D. 5. All monitoring has been changed to quarterly. The Division has altered its policy since the previous permit where annual monitoring in years 1,2, and 3 and quarterly monitoring in year 4 was required. The Division now typically requires semi-annual monitoring for all years. This permittee will have to monitor quarterly (more often than the typical Division policy) in response to poor analytical monitoring results during the previous cycle. This permittee did not submit all of the required samples for pH and TN in the previous cycle. Of those submitted, pH was below the benchmark in 80% of the samples, and TN was over the benchmark in 25% of the samples. Additionally, of the seven required samples submitted during the previous cycle for the remaining parameters, the permittee exceeded each parameter in the following percentages of the samples; oil and grease, 14%; BODSi 43%; COD, 57%; TSS 14%; and TP, 0%. 6. Vehicle maintenance is not done onsite. However, should the facility begin these operations, they will have to sample quarterly. This time was chosen to be in line with the other analytical and qualitative monitoring. 7. There have been three significant operational changes: a. Removal of a 92,000 gallon vegetable oil tank from service (tank BV-1) b. Installation of a new ester tank farm of three storage tanks to store non -hazardous finished products (contained) NCS000048 c. Enhancement of the plant's secondary containment system and process sewer system 8. Part II Section A has been revised. It now specifies all of the items to include on the site map. 9. Total phosphorus levels have been low over the past several years, but this requirement has not been removed because this facility drains to NSW waters. 10. This applicant has been sampling at one outfall, though there are two outfalls noted on the site plan. On October 27, 1993 the Division granted the applicant permission to sample at only one of these outfalls in order to collect samples prior to their first stormwater permit. However, there is no documentation in the file that the applicant was granted permission to continue sampling only one location during the permitting cycles to come. This is likely a misunderstanding. However, a site visit is recommended to determine how many outfalls exist at the facility in order to correct this misunderstanding for the upcoming cycle. See the Recommendations section. Follow-up with the company contact (Mark Heimberger/336.333.3071/January 8, 2007 & January 26, 2007) 1. Your company was issued a Notice of Deficiency on 18 January 2005. Our file does not contain further correspondence from you. Have you addressed the concerns set forth in this letter? (On 23 January 2007, C. Basinger said that there was a follow up inspection. However, documentation is not in the SPU or Central files.) Mr. Heimberger faxed over a copy of two letters that he sent us in response to this issue (they were evidently improperly filed at DWQ). Status of his response to deficient issues: Table 3: Notice of Deficiency Items Issue Due Date Resolution and Date Repair cracks in the dyke_ protecting the 11 Feb 05 29 Mar 05: The company notified acid tanks DWQ that they needed to install a polymer coating inside the tank walls, though this coating must be applied when the ambient air temperature is above 60°F. The repairs will be done by 15 May 05. 17 May05: Repairs complete Repair the tank high level alarms. 11 Feb 05 29 Mar 05: The company notified DWQ that the alarms were fully operation I by the due date. Repair the Rail Line sump pump so that 18 Feb 05 Not Addressed the wastewater is properly directed. Label all drums. 25 Feb 05 Not Addressed Determine and label the source of all lines 25 Feb 05 Not Addressed that discharge outside of the dyke structure. 2. Do you conduct vehicle maintenance at your facility? If so, how many gallons of new motor oil do you produce each month? (A 55-gallon average will require vehicle maintenance monitoring.) No. 3. What does your facility manufacture?, From your website I believe that you manufacture textile processing chemicals. They manufacture waxes and hydrogenated fats and oils. They also react fatty acids with alcohols to make esters, and also produce amides. Note about information from applicant: Amides are organic, and contain the chemical group--CONH2. They are water-soluble, and most are solid at room temperature. M NCS000048 4. Your company name is "The Seydel Companies". How is this company related to Carolina ByProducts and/or CBP Resources? In the early 1990s, both Chemol and Carolina Byproducts (CBP) were Divisions of CBP Resources. In approximately 1996, Chemol was sold to the Seydel Companies. Chemol is still next door to Carolina ByProducts, but is not associated with them in any way. They do not share raw materials or products with one another. Actually, Carolina ByProducts is no longer a manufacturing operation. It is only a transfer operation where "animal parts" are taken from small trucks and put onto larger trucks. Recommendation: Based on the documents reviewed, the application information submitted on June 2, 2004 is sufficient to issue an Individual Stormwater Permit. A site visit is recommended for this facility. Because the applicant did not submit the appropriate materials at the time of the application, and also failed to submit them when they were requested in December of 2004 the following questions are recommended to be asked onsite: 1. Determine the appropriate number of outfalls onsite: a. The applicant was granted permission to sample a single outfall when collecting samples for the initial permit application. However, there is no evidence in the file that representative outfall status was granted for the permitting cycle. b. Two outfalls are noted on the site map. Note the drainage areas for each outfall. Why is there area that is unaccounted for on this map?

Individual Permit Modification, Revocation and Reissuance, or Termination The issuance of this individual permit does not prohibit the Director from reopening and modifying the individual permit, revoking and reissuing the individual permit, or terminating the individual permit as allowed by the laws, rules, and regulations contained in Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations, Parts 122 and 123; Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2H .0100; and North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 et. al. Permit Actions The permit may be modified, revoked and reissued, or terminated for cause. The notification of planned changes or anticipated noncompliance does not stay any individual permit condition. SECTION C: OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF POLLUTION CONTROLS Proper Operation and Maintenance The permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions of this individual permit. Proper operation and maintenance also includes adequate laboratory controls and appropriate quality assurance procedures. This provision requires the operation of back-up or auxiliary facilities or similar systems which are installed by a permittee only when the operation is necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of this individual permit. Need to Halt or Reduce Not a Defense It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the condition of this individual permit. Bypassing of Stormwater Control Facilities Bypass is prohibited and.the Director may take enforcement action against a permittee for bypass unless: Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property damage; and b. There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary control facilities, retention of stormwater or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime or dry Part111 Page 4 of 8 Pages Permit No. NCS000048 weather. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup controls should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and C. The permittee submitted notices as required under, Part 111, Section E of this permit. If the Director determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above, the Director may approve an anticipated bypass after considering its adverse effects. SECTION D: MONITORING AND RECORDS Representative Sampling Samples collected and measurements taken, as required herein, shall be characteristic of the volume and nature of the permitted discharge. Analytical sampling shall be performed during a representative storm event. Samples shall be taken on a day and time that is characteristic of the discharge. -Ali samples shall be taken before the discharge joins or is diluted by any other waste stream, body of water, or substance. Monitoring points as specified in this permit shall not be changed without notification to and approval of the Director. 2. Recordina Results For each measurement, sample, inspection or maintenance activity performed or collected pursuant to the requirements of this individual permit, the permittee shall record the following information: a. The date, exact place, and time of sampling, measurements, inspection or maintenance activity; b. The individual(s) who performed the sampling, measurements, inspection or maintenance activity; C. The date(s) analyses were performed; d. The individual(s) who performed the analyses; e. The analytical techniques or methods used; and f. The results of such analyses. 3. Flow Measurements Where required, appropriate flow measurement devices and methods consistent with accepted scientific practices shall be selected and used to ensure the accuracy and reliability of measurements of the volume of monitored discharges. 4. Test Procedures Test procedures for the analysis of pollutants shall conform to the EMC regulations published pursuant to NCGS 143-215.63 et. seq, the Water and Air Quality Reporting Acts, and to regulations published pursuant to Section 304(g), 33 USC 1314, of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as Amended, and Regulation 40 CFR 136. To meet the intent of the monitoring required by this individual permit, all test procedures must produce minimum detection and reporting levels and all data generated must be reported down to the minimum detection or lower reporting level of the procedure. Part I I I Page 5 of 8 Pages Permit No. NCS000048 5. Representative Outfall If a facility has multiple discharge locations with substantially identical stonnwater discharges that are required to be sampled, the permittee may petition the Director for representative outfall status. If it is established that the stormwater discharges are substantially identical and the permittee is granted representative outfall status, then sampling requirements may be performed at a reduced number of outfalls. 6. Records Retention Visual monitoring shall be documented and records maintained at the facility along with the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. Copies of analytical monitoring results shall also be maintained on -site. The permittee shall retain records of all monitoring information, including all calibration and maintenance records and all original strip chart recordings for continuous monitoring instrumentation, and copies of all reports required by this individual permit for a period of at least 5 years from the date of the sample, measurement, report or application. This period may be extended by request of the Director at any time. 7. Inspection and Entry The permittee shall allow the Director, or an authorized representative (including an authorized contractor acting as a representative of the Director), or in the case of a facility which discharges through a municipal separate storm sewer system, an authorized representative of a municipal operator or the separate storm sewer system receiving the discharge, upon the presentation of credentials and other documents as may be required by law, to; a.

Cliemol Company, Incorporated Permit NCS000048 Item 4: Best Management Practices A. SECONDARY CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS All of the processing areas, above ground storage tanks, loading/unloading areas, and the Flammable Drum Storage Area have secondary containment. The specifics of each containment area are addressed below: A.I. Main Plant Area All of the above ground storage tanks in the main plant are located in a common secondary containment area with the exception of Tank 5-28. The secondary containment for the main plant is created through the use of concrete walls/curbs, concrete floors and asphalt/concrete aprons sloped toward the interior of the main plant. These walls/curbs and sloped aprons provide containment for the entire main plant. Based on an instrument survey of the main plant, the containment volume is estimated to be approximately 113,800 gallons. Note the largest single tank capacity in the main plant is 30,000 gallons (Tank 5-31). Normally, any spilled liquid is collected in the trench drains located throughout the main plant and conveyed by gravity to the sewer lift station located in the southeast quadrant of the main plant's containment area. Rainwater that enters the secondary containment area is also collected in the trench drains, and conveyed to the sewer lift station and the pretreatment system before entering the sanitary sewer system. The majority of the rainwater that falls on the main plant is captured by roof drains and discharged outside of the secondary containment area. The only tank in the main plat area that is not contained in the common secondary . containment area is 5-28, which is a 5,000-gallon acid tank. Tank 5-28 has a separate concrete secondary containment area. This containment area is adequately sized to contain a release of the full contents of tank 5-28 (plus 10%), plus precipitation. Storm water is released from this area via pumping into the main plant's process sewer system. A.2. Main Tank Farm Area All of the tanks in the tank farm area are located in a common secondary containment area. The secondary containment area is constructed of concrete floors and walls. This containment area is adequately sized to contain a release of the full contents of the largest tank (plus 10%), plus precipitation. No drains are located in this secondary containment area. The secondary containment area for these tanks is equipped with a sump and pump to remove rainwater and spilled materials. All spilled material or rainwater is pumped to the Main Plant's process sewer system. A.3. Ester Tank Farm All the tanks in the Ester Tank Farm are located in a common secondary containment area. The secondary containment area is constructed of concrete floors and walls. This containment area is adequately sized to contain a release of the largest tank (plus 10%), plus precipitation. The transfer pump for the tanks in this area is located within the secondary containment structure. No drains are located in the secondary containment structure. Rainwater and spilled materials are removed via a sump pump that discharges into the Main Plant's process sewer system.. A.4. Rail Car Loading/Unloading Area The rail car tank transfer station (next to the Main Tank Farm) is designed with a secondary containment system to prevent leaks and drips from the rail cars from entering the environment. However, the containment area is unable to control a major release that could occur from a faulty valve or full tank car failure nor hold the contents of the largest capacity rail car (23,000 gallons maximum) that services the area. The secondary containment pad, located partly beneath the rail tank car being loaded/unloaded, is concrete and slopes toward a sump located adjacent to the tracks. The transfer connection (valves) on the railcar is centered over the concrete pad during transfer operations so that should a spill occur at the valve, it would drain to the sump. The sump is provided with a pump to transfer the spilled material into the Main Plant's process sewer system. A.S. Alcohol Tank Farm All the tanks in the Alcohol Tank Farm are located in a common secondary containment area. The secondary containment area is -constructed of concrete floors and walls. The containment area is sufficiently sized to contain the required 110 percent of the largest tank located within it plus precipitation. The transfer pumps for the tanks in this area are located within the secondary containment structure. The secondary containment area is equipped with a sump and pump to remove rainwater and spilled materials. No drains are located in the secondary containment area for the tanks. All spilled material or rainwater is pumped to the Main Plant's process sewer system. A.6. Flammable Drum Storage Area The Flammable Drum Storage Area is a concrete storage area surrounded by a b=foot high chain - link fence. --A sloped concrete ramp provided access for .forklifts to enter and exit the secondary contairunent area. The area is -approximately 42-feet long by-12 feet wide, grid"has a 6-inch high concrete secondary containment curb. Based on an available containment depth of 4 inches (because the drums are placed on 4 inch pallets), the secondary containment area holds approximately 1240 gallons. This is equivalent to approximately twenty-two 55-gallon drums. Since the largest "tank" is a single portable tote tank with a nominal.300-gallon capacity, the Flammable Drum Storage Area is adequately designed to contain a release of the largest vessel plus precipitation. Storm water or spills from inside this secondary containment area flow to a sump and are pumped to the Main Plant's process sewer system. A.7. Inspection of Secondary Containment Systems The facility's secondary containment systems -are formally inspected weekly: The inspection includes examination of the containment structure's integrity. Any potoatial failure points in the containment structures are repaired. The Environmental Manager maintains completed forms B. BULK STORAGE TANK INSPECTION AND INVENTORY CONTROL' Inventory levels of bulk tanks are generally taken three times per week. Personnel performing the inventory examine the tanks and report any suspected leaks. Further, the inventory is compared with the previous inventory and any abnormal changes are investigated. C. FACILITY TRANSFER OPERATIONS, PUMPING, AND IN -PLANT PROCESS All in -plant transfers are manned operations. All transfer pumps in the main plant are visible and are monitored during transfer operations. The transfer pumps for the Main Tank Farm, Alcohol Tank Farm, and Ester Tank Farm are located within the secondary containment area for the respective tank farm. To determine if liquids can be -transferred between tanks, personnel measure the receiving tank and verify the transferred material will fit. All transfer piping at the facility is either exposed (above ground) for visual inspection or is contained in a steel plate fabricated pipe trench (top of trench is parallel with existing grade). Normal vehicular traffic does not pose a direct threat to above ground piping. D. FACILITY TANK CAR AND TANK TRUCK LOADINGIUNLOADING Transfers of materials to and from outside sources (tank wagons and railcars) occur:at two locations at the Chemol facility; I) Tank trucks load and unload to the west of the main plant and 2) Rail cars park in the rail car unloading area located west of the main tank farm.. D.I. Railcar Unloading The rail car unloading area has a single_ connection point for unloading operations; which precludes the -opportunity for confision in piping. -The rail car -unloading area services -tanks in� - the tank farm area (TF-1 through TF-7), which are equipped with local audible high-level alarms. The rail unloading area is designed with a secondary containment system to prevent leaks and drips from the rail cars from entering the environment; however, the containment area is unable to control a major release occurring from a faulty valve or full tank car failure. Currently, railcars are only used to receive non -hazardous raw materials that are solid at ambient temperatures. They are only heated when the railcar is positioned over the containment structure. This precludes the possibility material could leak from a railcar not positioned over the containment structure. See Section AA for additional information on the secondary containment at this location. D.2. Tank Truck Loading and Unloading The taiilc truck loading/unloading area is -located west of the main plant within the secondary containment of the main plant. Like the tanks in the main plant, all of the leaks, drips and spills are collected in the trench drains and processed within the wastewater pretreatment system. Piping locations for loading and unloading operations in this area are labeled to indicate their respective discharge locations. The surface of the tank truck loading/unloading area is concrete. This surface is periodically washed to minimize the tracking of chemicals outside of the containment structure by tank wagons or forklift tires. D.3. Monitoring of Transfer Operations and Equipment All transfer operations are monitored by personnel throughout the transfer. Further, plant personnel inspect any hoses, connection fittings, piping and pumps prior to starting the transfer and during the transfer. E. SECURITY Security is controlled by plant personnel being on -site 24 hours a day when the plant is operating. When the plant is not operating, security personnel are on -site. Security personnel use a punch card and monitoring panel system to ensure frequent visits to all tank storage areas. Part of the security personnel's responsibilities includes at least bi-hourly visits to each of the monitoring panels. Monitoring panels are located at each tank farm area and at multiple locations within the main plant. Lighting is sufficient throughout the facility to allow detection of a spill at night. F. SPILL PREVENTION AND MITIGATION PROCEDURES F.I. Spills Outside of Containment Structures Employees are required to immediately clean up any spill or leaks outside of containment - st uctures: -Ally swill -[hat occi=trs outsid"e of a containarierit-structuie'tllat-cariffot'be controlled -is immediately reported to emergency agencies by dialing 911. Further Che_mol will contract the services of Sliamfock Environmental to provide -emergency remediation and response: F.2. Spills Inside of Containment Structures Spill of material inside of containment structures are either recovered for reuse or placed into the plant's process sewer system. The actions taken are appropriate for the amount of material spilled and its hazard level. F.3. Training All employees who work in the processing area are trained in the operation of equipment to prevent discharges of process chemical into storm water. This training is held in conjunction with Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Training and includes a discussion of material transfer and acceptance procedures, and applicable laws, rules and regulations. A knowledgeable person provides this training with experience in spill response, contr'in2nent and control. Training is conducted at least once per year for these personnel. During the training session, a -briefing is held to assure adequate understanding of the SPCC Plan and Stormwater Pollution Prevention (SPP) Plan. These briefings also highlight recent spill events, failures, and precautionary measures. Records of employee training sessions are maintained with the SPCC Plan and are kept for at least three years. Additional annual training on uncontrolled spills occurs as part of the Emergency Action Plan Training Program. Records of this training are maintained. G. Waste Streams and Handling G.1. Plant Process Sewer Liquid Waste All rainwater and residual chemicals collected in any of the tank farms or production areas enter the plant's sewer system. The materials are acidified to separate any oil layer from the water layer. The water layer is separated, neutralized and discharged to the City of Greensboro's Sanitary Sewer System. The grease layer is sold as a non -hazardous by-product stream. G.2. Solid Waste from Production, Warehouse, Maintenance, Laboratory and Office Operations Chemol's operations generate non -hazardous solid wastes that are sent to a licensed landfill. The solid wastes are placed in one of two "rolloff" containers. One of these containers is within the plant's containment structure. Any runoff of rainwater from this container would go into the main plant's containment structure. The second solid waste dumpster is placed over a collection sump which collects any rainwater ninoff. Any runoff is then pumped into the main plant's process sewer. G.3. Laboratory Hazardous Waste l _ _ Chemol's laboratory operations generate small quantities of hazardous waste. This waste = is.removed.by licensed hazardous waste liauIeis and incinerated: _Reco_rds; of waste generated ariii l its associated disposal are maintained. H. Preventive Maintenance ChemoI has a preventive maintenance program involving scheduled maintenance on all equipment. This program is currently being updated to enhance its effectiveness and formal documentation. Further, Chemol has a work order system to repair any unplanned equipment failures. Any maintenance activity required to address potential or actual stormwater contamination is considered a high priority relative to other maintenance activities. 1. Pallet Storage Chemol stores a variety of wooden pallets in uncontained areas. The large majority of these pallets are new and do not pose a potential to contaminate stormwater. A small number of pallets (averaging below 50) have been used in the production area and could be contaminated with small quantities of non -hazardous materials. Runoff from these pallets could potentially contaminate stormwater. Currently, all used pallets are removed from the site by a pallet recycler. Chemol plans to upgrade its handling of used pallets to minimize the potential for stormwater contamination. Options being consider include, but are not limited to, placing a roof over the storage area or disposing of contaminated pallets in the current "rollof " containers described in Section G.2. 0 Chemol Company, Incorporated Permit NCS00004$- Item S: Significant Changes in Industrial Activity at the Permitted Facility There have been three significant changes in activities since the last permit renewal application: Change 41: Removal of the Vegetable Oil Tank (BV-1) from Service This 92,000-gallon tank has been taken out of service. This will eliminate any potential stormwater contamination resulting from the failure of this tank or its associated components. Change 92: Installation of the Ester Tank Farm and associated tanks A new tank farm with three storage tanks was installed. This tank farm is utilized to store non -hazardous finished products. This tank farm is contained and any stormwater or other material within the contaitunent structure is pumped to the plant's process sewer. Further details on this tank farm are listed under Item 4: Best Management Practices, Section A.3. Change #3: Enhancement of Main Plant's Secondary Containment System and Process Sewer System The Main Plant's containment system has been enhanced by incorporating the existing cooling tower within it boundaries. This precludes the possibility of excessive cooling tower overflows from entering stormwater runoff. Moving the process sewer lift pumps to within the Main Plant's secondary containment structure has enhanced the Process Sewer System. Previously, these pumps were located outside of the containment structure and adjacent to the sanitary sewer outfail. A lift pump failure could have caused a discharge of untreated wastewater into the Sanitary Sewer. Further, any failure of the pipes running to or from the lift pumps in the old location could have caused stormwater cortaminaton Moving the -lift- pumps- minimized=the_possibility, of_ discharging_untreated_. wastewater to the sanitary sewer and the potential for stormwater contamination from a piping system failure..-- Div of Water Quality Fax:9197339919 May 10 20U4 .11:1; P.U5 STORK V TER POLLUTION PIEVENTION PLAN ICE 1 L P EN:'I`- NI) MPL]EMENTATION MTWICATION .:4 — - . jV.C. �ivisi n of 4ater, QLialiry, Storm)-vafer artd General Permits Ullit Facility Name: ! �: &EM L CO I COR.PORATED Permit Ntunbei: l CS000048 Location Address: 300 H AVE OREENSBORO, NC 27406 County: U9-F RD " i certify, uud�r pan 31ty of I aw, that the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SFPP) document and all attachments were dzveloped and innple ented u der my direction or supervision in accordance with a system designed to assure xequircd by the SPPP- Based on my inquiry of a t qual�ed perso nel pro erly ga her and evaluate the information he person or persOl Is who manag0e the system, or those persons directly responsible for gathering the information, t?~e infotYr►ation gat Bred is, to the b st of my knowledge and belief, true, accurate, and complete" "I certify that the S FP has been de eloped, signed and retained at the facility location and the SI'PP has been fully implemented it the arced facility 1 cation in accordance -ith the terms and conditions of the stormwater general permit."

Ross Jr., Secretary North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources 18 January 2005 Alan W. Klimek, P.E. Director Division of Water Quality On Thursday, January 13, 2005, Corey Basinger with the Division of Water Quality visited the subject facility located off Randolph Avenue in Greensboro, NC. Ray Boettcher, William Newlin and Peter Sneider (Greensboro Stormwater Department) were also present during the inspection. The purpose of this inspection was to determine whether or not the subject facility was in compliance with NPDES Stormwater Permit No. NCS000048. During this site visit, the following deficiencies were documented. 1) The dyke wall protecting the acid tanks had significant cracking on both of the outside corners. The dyke structure must be repaired immediately to prevent the release of any materials that might accumulate inside the structure. The repairs must be completed no later than February 11, 2005. You are required to notify this Office when the repairs are completed. 2) The alarm system was not operating properly at the time of inspection. The visual and audible alarms did function, but not in response to high levels in the tanks. The alarms must be repaired immediately. It is highly recommended that the alarms have a manual "test" feature so that they can be tested on a routine basis. The alarms must be properly operational no later than February 11, 2005. You are required to notify this Office when the alarms are properly operational. 3) The Rail Line sump pump system was not operating properly. The containment structure was full and beginning to overflow at the time of inspection. It was reset and began pumping the wastewater back up to the plant site. The wastewater is actually pumped out onto the paved area at the truck loading/unloading area and drains into the dyke structure, which empties into the wastewater collection system. This process should be modified such that the wastewater is pumped directly into the wastewater collection system or piped away from the truck loading/unloading area in order to prevent the truck tires from carrying any wastewater out of the dyke area. The sump pump system must be repaired/modifred no later than February 18, 2005. 4) All drums located at the facility must be properly labeled. The drums must also the segregated based on their contents. If available, a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) must be kept on file at the facility and made readily available to staff and/or emergency personnel. The drums located in the fenced area marked "flammable" should be arranged such that the drums placed on pallets are more toward the center of the containment area to prevent spillage outside the dyke as result of a puncture/rupture. All drums must be labeled, segregated, and have the appropriate MSDS no later than February 25, 2005.

If no source can be determined, the pipe must be permanently capped. Also, the old sanitary line and clean out pipe must be permanently capped to prevent accidental discharge to the sanitary sewer. This must be completed no later than February 25, 2005. 6) Once the permit is reissued, the Stormwater Pollution_ Prevention Plan documentation should be updated to reflect any changes or. modifications. 7) It is recommended that all exposed piping at the facility be color coded or labeled such that it is clear what materials are flowing through each pipe and which direction the materials are flowing in the pipe. 8) It is recommended that all drains at the facility be cleaned out to allow for maximum flow. The material removed from the drains must be disposed of properly. This Office will schedule a follow-up inspection in early March 2005 to ensure that the required corrected actions are completed.

Chemol Company, Incorporated Permit NCS000048 Item 4: Best Management Practices A. SECONDARY CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS All of the processing areas, above ground storage tanks, loading/unloading areas, and the Flammable Drum Storage Area have secondary containment. The specifics of each containment area are addressed below: A.I. Main Plant Area All of the above ground storage tanks in the main plant are located in a common secondary containment area with the exception of Tank S-28. The secondary containment for the main plant is created through the use of concrete walls/curbs, concrete floors and asphalt/conerete aprons sloped toward the interior of the main plant. These walls/curbs and sloped aprons provide containment for the entire main plant. Based on an instrument survey of the main plant, the containment volume is estimated to be approximately 113,800 gallons. Note the largest single tank capacity in the main plant is 30,000 gallons (Tank S-31). Norirrally, any spilled liquid is collected in the trench drains located throughout the main plant and conveyed by gravity to the sewer lift station located in the southeast quadrant of the main plants containment area. Rainwater that enters the secondary containment area is also collected in the trench drains, and conveyed to the sewer lift station and the pretreatment system before entering the sanitary sewer system. The majority of the rainwater that falls on the main plant is captured by roof drains and discharged outside of the secondary containment area. The only tank in the main plat area that is not contained in the common secondary containment area is S-28, which is a 5,000-gallon acid tank. Tank S-28 has a separate concrete secondary containment area. This containment area is adequately sized to contain a release of the full contents of tank S-28 (plus 10%), plus precipitation. Storm water is released from this area via pumping into the main plant's process sewer system. A.2. Main Tank Farm Area All of the tanks in the tank farm area are located in a common secondary containment area. The secondary containment area is constructed of concrete floors and walls. This containment area is adequately sized to contain a release of the full contents of the largest tank (plus 10%), plus precipitation. No drains are located in this secondary containment area. The secondary containment area for these tanks is equipped with a sump and pump to remove rainwater and spilled materials. All spilled material or rainwater is pumped to the Main Plant's process sewer system. A.3. Ester Tank Farm All the tanks in the Ester Tank Farm are located in a common secondary contaimnent area. The secondary containment area is constructed of concrete floors and walls. This containment area is adequately sized to contain a release of the largest tank (plus 10%), plus precipitation. The transfer pump for the tanks in this area is located within the secondary containment structure. No drains are located in the secondary containment structure. Rainwater and spilled materials are removed via a sump pump that discharges into the Main Plant's process sewer system. A.4. Rail Car Loading/Unloading Area The rail car tank transfer station (next to the Main Tank Farm) is designed with a secondary containment system to prevent leaks and drips from the rail cars from entering the environment. However, the containment area is unable to control a major release that could occur from a faulty valve or full tank car failure nor hold the contents of the largest capacity rail car (23,000 gallons maximum) that services the area. The secondary containment pad, located partly beneath the rail tank car being loaded/unloaded, is concrete and slopes toward a sump located adjacent to the tracks. The transfer connection (valves) on the railcar is centered over the concrete pad during transfer operations so that should a spill occur at the valve, it would drain to the sump. The sump is provided with a pump to transfer the spilled material into the Main Plant's process sewer system. A.5. Alcohol Tank Farm All the tanks in the Alcohol Tank Farm are located in a common secondary containment area. The secondary containment area is constructed of concrete floors and walls. The containment area is sufficiently sized to contain the required 110 percent of the largest tank located within it plus precipitation. The transfer pumps for the tanks in this area are located within the secondary containment su_ucture. The secondary containment area is equipped with a sump and pump to remove rainwater and spilled materials. No drains are located in the secondary containment area for the tanks. All spilled material or rainwater is pumped to the Main Plant's process sewer system. A.6. Flammable Drum Storage Area The Flammable Drum Storage Area is a concrete storage area surrounded by a 6-foot high chain - link fence. A sloped concrete ramp provided access for forklifts to enter and exit the secondary containment area. The area is approximately 42 feet long by 12 feet wide, and has a 6-inch high concrete secondary containment curb. Based on an available contaimnent depth of 4 inches (because the drums are placed on 4 inch pallets), the secondary contaimnent area holds approximately 1240 gallons. This is equivalent to approximately twenty-two 55-gallon drums. Since the largest "tank" is a single portable tote tank with a nominal 300-gallon capacity, the Flammable Drum Storage Area is adequately designed to contain a release of the largest vessel plus precipitation. Storm water or spills from inside this secondary containment area flow to a sump and are pumped to the Main Plant's process sewer system. A.7. Inspection of Secondary Containment Systems The facility's secondary containment systems are formally inspected weekly; The inspection includes examination of the containment structure's integrity. Any poteaatial failure points in the containment structures are repaired. The Environmental Manager maintains completed forms B. BULK STORAGE TANK INSPECTION AND INVENTORY CONTROL' Inventory levels of bulk tanks are generally taken three times per week. Personnel performing the inventory examine the tanks and report any suspected leaks. Further', the inventory is compared with the previous inventory and any abnormal changes are investigated. C. FACILITY TRANSFER OPERATIONS, PUMPING, AND IN -PLANT PROCESS All in -plant transfers are manned operations. All transfer pumps in the main plant are visible and are monitored during transfer operations. The transfer pumps for the Main Tank Farm, Alcohol Tank Farm, and Ester Tank Farm are located within the secondary containment area for the respective tank farm. To determine if liquids can be transferred between tanks, personnel measure the receiving tank and verify the transferred material will fit. All transfer piping at the facility is either exposed (above ground) for visual inspection or is contained in a steel plate fabricated pipe trench (top of trench is parallel with existing grade). Normal vehicular traffic does not pose a direct threat to above ground piping. D. FACILITY TANK CAR AND TANK TRUCK LOADING/UNLOADING Transfers of materials to and from outside sources (tank wagons and railcars) occur at two locations at the Chemol facility; l) Tank trucks load and unload to the west of the main plant and 2) Rail cars park in the rail car unloading area located west of the main tank farm. D.I. Railcar Unloading The rail car unloading area has a single connection point for unloading operations, which precludes the opportunity for confusion in piping. The rail car unloading area services tanks in the tank farm area (TF-1 through TF-7), which are equipped with local audible high-level alarms. The rail unloading area is designed with a secondary containment system to prevent leaks and drips from the rail cars from entering the environment; however, the containment area is unable to control a major release occurring from a faulty valve or full tank car failure. Currently, railcars are only used to receive non -hazardous raw materials that are solid at ambient temperatures. They are only heated when the railcar is positioned over the containment structure. This precludes the possibility material could leak from a railcar not positioned over the containment Structure. See Section A.4 for additional information on the secondary containment at this location. D.2. Tank Truck Loading and Unloading The tank truck loading/unloading area is located west of the main plant within the secondary containment of the main plant. Like the tanks in the main plant, all of the leaks, drips and spills are collected in the trench drains and processed within the wastewater pretreatment system. Piping locations for loading and unloading operations in this area are labeled to indicate their respective discharge locations. The surface of the tank truck loading/unloading area is concrete. This surface is periodically washed to minimize the tracking of chemicals outside of the containment structure by tank wagons or forklift tires. D.3. Monitoring of Transfer Operations and Equipment All transfer operations are monitored by personnel throughout the transfer. Further, plant personnel inspect any hoses, connection fittings, piping and pumps prior to starting the transfer and during, the transfer. E. SECURITY Security is controlled by plant personnel being on -site 24 hours a day when the plant is operating. When the plant is not operating; security personnel are on -site. Security personnel use a punch card and monitoring panel system to ensure frequent visits to all tank storage areas. Part of the security personnel's responsibilities includes at least bi-hourly visits to each of the monitoring panels. Monitoring panels are located at each tank farm area and at multiple locations within the main plant. Lighting is sufficient throughout the facility to allow detection of a spill at night. . F. SPILL PREVENTION AND MITIGATION PROCEDURES F.I. Spills Outside of Containment Structures Employees are required to immediately clean up any spill or leaks outside of containment structures. Any spill that occurs outside of a containment structure that cannot be controlled is immediately reported to emergency agencies by dialing 911. Further, Chemol will contract the services of Shamrock Environmental to provide emergency remediation and response. F.2. Spills Inside of Containment Structures Spill of material inside of containment structures are either recovered for reuse or placed into the plant's process sewer system. The actions taken are appropriate for the amount of material spilled and its hazard level. F.3. Training All employees who work in the processing area are trained in the operation of equipment to prevent discharges of process chemical into storm water. This training is held in conjunction with Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Training and includes a discussion of material transfer and acceptance procedures, and applicable laws, rules and regt'lations. A knowledgeable person provides this training with experience in spill response, containment and control. Training is conducted at least once per year for these personnel. During the training session, a briefing is held to assure adequate understanding of the SPCC Plan and Stormwater Pollution Prevention (SPP) Plan. These briefings also highlight recent spill events, failures, and precautionary measures. Records of employee training sessions are maintained with the SPCC Plan and are kept for at least three years. Additional annual training on uncontrolled spills occurs as part of the Emergency Action Plan Training Program. Records of this training are maintained. G. Waste Streams and Handling G.I. Plant Process Sewer Liquid Waste All rainwater and residual chemicals collected in any of the tank farms or production areas enter the plant's sewer system. The materials are acidified to separate any oil layer from the water layer. The water layer is separated, neutralized and discharged to the City of Greensboro's Sanitary Sewer System. The grease layer is sold as a non -hazardous by-product stream. G.2. Solid Waste from Production, Warehouse, Maintenance, Laboratory and Office Operations Chemol's operations generate non -hazardous solid wastes that are sent to a licensed landfill. The solid wastes are placed in one of two `rolloff ' containers. One of these containers is within the plant's contaimment structure. Any runoff of rainwater from this container would go into the main plant's containment structure. The second solid waste dumpster is placed over a collection sump which collects any rainwater runoff. Any runoff is then pumped into the main plant's process sewer. G.3. Laboratory Hazardous Waste Chemol's laboratory operations generate small quantities of hazardous waste. This waste is removed by licensed hazardous waste haulers and incinerated. Records of waste generated and its associated disposal are maintained. H. Preventive Maintenance Chemol has a preventive maintenance program involving scheduled maintenance on all equipment. This program is currently being updated to enhance its effectiveness and formal documentation. Further, Chemol has a work order system to repair any unplanned equipment failures. Any maintenance activity required to address potential or actual stormwater contamination is considered a high priority relative to other maintenance activities. 1. Pallet Storage Chemol stores a variety of wooden pallets in uncontained areas. The large majority of these pallets are new aA do not pose a potential to contaminate stormwater. A small number of pallets (averaging below 50) have been used in the production area and could be contaminated with small quantities of non -hazardous materials. Runoff from these pallets could potentially contaminate stormwater. Currently, all used pallets are removed from the site by a pallet recycler. Chemol plans to upgrade its handling of used pallets to minimize the potential for stormwater contamination. Options being consider include, but are not limited to, placing a roof over the storage area or disposing of contaminated pallets in the current "rolloff" containers described in Section G.2. Chemol Company, Incorporated Permit NCS000048 Item 5: Significant Changes in Industrial Activity at the Permitted Facility There have been three significant changes in activities since the last permit renewal application: Change #1: Removal of the Vegetable Oil Tank {13V-1} from Service This 92,000-gallon tank has been taken out of service. This will eliminate any potential stormwater contamination resulting frorn the failure of this tank or its associated components. Change 92: Installation of the Ester Tank Farm and associated tanks A new tank farm with three storage tanks was installed. This tank farm is utilized to store non -hazardous finished products. This tank farm is contained and any stormwater or other material within the containment structure is pumped to the plant's process sewer. Further details on this tank farm are listed under Item 4: Best Management Practices, Section A.3. Change #3: Enhancement of Main Plant's Secondary Containment System and Process Sewer System The Main Plant's containment system has been enhanced by incorporating the existing cooling tower within it boundaries. This precludes the possibility of excessive cooling tower overflows from entering stormwater runoff. Moving the process sewer lift pumps to within the Main Plant's secondary containment structure has enhanced the Process Sewer System. Previously, these pumps were located outside of the containment structure and adjacent to the sanitary sewer outfall. A lift pump failure could have caused a discharge of untreated wastewater into the Sanitary Sewer. Further, any failure of the pipes running to or from the lift pumps in the old location could have caused stormwater contamination. Moving the lift pumps minimized the possibility of discharging untreated wastewater to the sanitary sewer and the potential for stormwater contamination from a piping system failure.
