V. ADDITIONAL REGIONAL STAFF REVIEW ITEMS
Hazardous Waste Determination: Page 2
Indicates analysis date of 3.14.19 for Corrosivity, Ignitability, Reactivity – There were no results for Ignitability or
Reactivity. Both parameters were analyzed in 2018. The incorrect Method (9045 D) was used for Corrosivity. The
permit cover letter should include language clarifying which Method(s) should be used for Hazardous Waste
Determination.
Setback References: The permit lists two different setbacks to surface waters: Page 3: 50 ft. and Page 5: 25 ft.
15A NCAC 02B .0505 – This reference generally refers to NPDES facilities – possibly use the generic 2T reference
.0108.
The SOP footnote on Attachment A should be reviewed by the permittee and updated if needed.
