Facility: Ward Tank & Heat Exchanger Corporation
Inspection Date: March 29, 2010
Purpose:
The inspection was conducted as part of the Industrial Facilities Inspection
Program required by the City of Charlotte Phase I Storm Water Permit. The purpose was
to identify potential storm water pollution problems associated with this facility.
Inspections are also conducted to review maintenance, storm water and training records
to ensure the site is in compliance with all applicable local, state and federal storm water
regulations.
Background:
On March 29, 2010 at 1:30 PM, Andrew Martin and Heather Sorensen of
Charlotte -Mecklenburg Storm Water Services (CMSWS) conducted the following
activities as part of the inspection:
• Inspected the interior and exterior of buildings
• Inspected the grounds, including material storage areas, the storm drain
system, outfalls and fence line
• Reviewed written records and documentation
• Collected photo documentation of the facility
Ward Tank and Heat Exchanger Corporation, at 6670 E. W T Harris Boulevard
in Charlotte, NC, is located on approximately 4.9 acres of property and has three
buildings that consist of manufacturing and office space. Total impervious (parking lots,
buildings, roadways, etc.) area of the site is estimated at 95 percent of the total site area.
Facility operations typically occur between the hours of 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM, Monday
through Friday. The facility manufactures metal tanks such as pressure vessels, reactors,
heat exchangers and other metal products for industrial applications.
Robert Besh, Vice President of Operations, accompanied CMSWS personnel during the
inspection.
Records:
A records review revealed the following:
• Storm water runoff from the Ward Tank & Heat Exchanger facility discharges
into a unnamed tributary of Campbell Creek, a class C water in the Catawba River
Basin.
• The facility has a Standard Industrial Code (SIC) of 3443, Fabricated Plate Work
(Boiler Shops).

Facility: Ward Tank & Heat Exchanger Corporation
Inspection Date: March, 29, 20I0
• The facility does not have a National Pollution Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) storm water permit.
• The facility is listed as a Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) with the EPA.
• No history for Ward Tank & Heat Exchanger was available from the
Mecklenburg County Water Quality Program (MCWQP) files.
On -Site Inspection:
Ward Tank & Heat Exchanger facility consists of a main office building, two
manufacturing buildings, and outside storage areas. The facility manufactures tanks from
various metals; such as pressure .vessels, reactors, heat exchangers and other metal
products for industrial applications. The majority of the operation occurs indoors and
under cover. The facility performs plasma cutting, lathing, machining, painting, abrasive
blasting of metal and hydrostatic testing of new tanks onsite. Scrap waste metal from the
manufacturing process is stored in large covered bins outside. Paint and painting supplies
are stored in a small shed in the rear of the property.
The total area of the property is approximately 49 acres. The storm water
drainage system at the site consists of several drop inlets and floor drains within the main
manufacturing building with associated piping that discharges from three outfalls into an
unnamed tributary to Campbell Creek. The rest of the facility's site consists of gravel
with a small natural vegetated buffer along the fence line. The inspection was conducted
after a large rain event and the facility was discharging turbid water from the outfalls
during the inspection.
Four floor drains were observed inside the main manufacturing building. One
was a large trough that extended the length of the building. Another floor drain is used to
discharge water that has been utilized in hydrostatic testing of new tanks. All floor drains
are connected to the storm drain system. Facility personnel indicate that the floor drains
are there to catch storm water that enters the building. Water entering the floor drains
come into contact with processing and manufacturing areas.
The facility performs outdoor abrasive blasting of new tanks with StarbIast media
manufactured by DuPont. The used material is not collected and disposed of Used
Starblast was pushed into piles on the edge of the property and was present in thick layers
on the ground surface. Used Starblast has been carried offsite by storm water in one area.
The facility will also utilize other types of abrasive material depending on the job
specifications.
Five unlabeled plastic 55-gallon drums of water soluble used oil were stored
outside with only a plywood sheet for a lid. There was evidence of spillage around the
containers. The oil is taken to the Hickory Grove Recycling Center for disposal. There
were also two other areas on the property that had small areas of petroleum staining on
the ground beneath wooden pallets and near a garage door.

Facility: Ward Tank & Heat Exchanger Corporation
Inspection Date: March 29, 2010
There are two waste dumpsters and two large scrap metal bins located at the site.
The scrap metal dumpsters are covered by lids. One of the waste dumpsters had a large
blue spot where fresh paint had been dumped, but missed the waste receptacle. The paint
material was still wet. This dumpster also appeared to have a leak from the bottom as
well as malfunctioning lids.
The facility uses Weld Flux to aid in welding seams on the metal tanks. The used
material is then disposed of to the ground surface outside the building.
A 55-gallon steel drum is located next to the small shed that contains paint
supplies. The drum is used for disposing of unused paint and is elevated off the ground
with a pallet. The labeling on the container is faded and unreadable.
Conclusions/Recommendations:
Based upon the exposure of significant materials to storm water runoff at the site
and the facility's SIC code, it is recommended that Ward Tank & Heat Exchanger apply
for an NPDES Storm Water Permit with the North Carolina Division of Water Quality.
The floor drains located inside the manufacturing areas should be sealed or re-
routed to the sanitary sewer system with Charlotte -Mecklenburg Utilities approval to
prevent discharging industrial wastewater to surface waters. Once any source of water
comes into contact with the manufacturing area or is used on a manufacturing process, it
then becomes an industrial process wastewater and discharging it to the storm drain
system violates the Charlotte Storm Water Pollution Control Ordinance, Section 18-
80(a), Illicit Discharge and Disposal. Currently having the floor drains connected to the
storm drain system is a violation Charlotte Storm Water Pollution Control Ordinance,
Section 18-80(b), Illicit Connection. CMS WS requests that the water used in the
hydrostatic testing of new tanks be tested for pH, metals and oil & grease prior to future
discharge from the testing of new tanks to the stormdrain system.
All areas with used Starblast and Weld Flux material should be cleaned up and
properly disposed of. The used materials could contain elevated levels of metals since
they were used in abrasive blasting and welding activities. The Material Safety Data
Sheet (MSDS) for the materials state that the products should be disposed of in a
environmentally acceptable manner according to Federal, State and Local Regulations.
The drums of water soluble used oil stored outside should be properly labeled and
sealed to prevent exposure to stormwater. When full, these containers must be properly
disposed, instead of taken to the Hickory Grove Recycling facility. The Hickory Grove
facility is for household waste only. There was also an area in the rear of the facility
where oil had leaked onto the ground beneath a pallet. Please remove the contaminated

L `
Facility: Ward Tank & Heat Exchanger Corporation

soil and properly dispose of it. All containers should be properly labeled with their
contents.
The paint spill next to the dumpster should be cleaned up and properly disposed
of. The dumpster itself should be inspected for leaks and replaced if necessary. The
facility should review material handling procedures, as well as spill prevention and spill
response procedures, and ensure that all facility personnel are implementing these
procedures.

We have reviewed the NOV dated April 19, 2010 and issued by the NCDWQ Mooresville
Regional Office. On behalf of my client, I will address each negative finding:
Operating a metal fabrication facility without an NPDES Stormwater permit
1. The owner/ operator of the subject facility were not aware that such a permit existed until the
site inspection conducted by personnel from the Charlotte/ Mecklenburg Storm Water
Services.
• The owner will submit the completed Notice -of -Intent for General Permit NCG030000 to
the Stormwater Permitting Unit on May 14 2010. We expect to receive a Certificate -of -
Coverage within 30 days.
• The owner has contracted with this Consultant to assist with Permit compliance.
o A SWPPP is under development and will be completed by May 30 2010.
o SWPPP implementation will commence on June 1 2010 and all required Permit
tasks and items indicated in the Charlotte/ Mecklenburg Storm Water Service's
letter dated April 13 2010 will be resolved by May 30 2011.
o Stormwater discharge samples will be collected at the appropriate outfalls by June
30 2010, and the data submitted to NCDWQ upon receipt from the laboratory.

We have reviewed your NOV letter dated April 13, 2010. On behalf of my client, I will address
each item in the Conclusions/ Recommendations Section:
Interior Floor Drains
The interior floor drains within the manufacturing and assembly areas will be plugged by May
30 2011 if such plugging does not interfere with the manufacturing processes. These floor drains
currently allow for condensation and foundation seepage to exit the building. Before these
drains can be plugged, the seepage problem will have to be remedied. All employees have been
instructed to cease and prevent discharges of process wastewater and non-stormwater into these
drains.
The trench drain will be covered, but it cannot be plugged as it conveys stormwater through the
property. This trench drain also carries stormwater that flows off Harris Blvd, a public street.
Regarding the hydrostatic testing of the finished tanks, this discharge is allowable under NPDES
General Permit NCG030000 and Chapter 18 of the Charlotte City Code as it is uncontaminated
potable water. The NCDWQ has already considered this type of discharge at another metal tank
manufacturer and has determined that it is an allowable discharge. We will analyze the water
discharged after tank testing for pH, Iron, Chromium, Nickel, Manganese, and Oil & Grease, and
submit the results to you by June 30 2010.
StarBlast and Weld Flux Material
All of the weld flux material has been cleaned and disposed properly as of April 30 2010.
We are considering improved methods to temporarily store the starblast material. The current
practice is to store the used blast media in piles, and when a sufficient quantity is accumulated, a
vendor is used to haul off the media in dump trucks.

Ward Tank & Heat Exchange, Page 2
r May 13 2010
SwSG
Improved handling methods we are considering include more frequent removal from the site,
diversion berms around the pile, containment berm to eliminate runoff, tarps or other covering,
or placing into covered bins. A feasible solution will be implemented by October 30 2010_
Paint Spill at Dumpster
The paint spill at the dumpster was cleaned by removing and properly disposing the soil on April
30 2010.
New dumpsters with closable lids were obtained from the trash hauler on May 1 2010.
Material Handling Procedures
The owner/ operator is developing a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan in accordance with
NPDES General Permit NCG030000 which will address improved material handling procedures,
spill prevention & response, good housekeeping, employee training, and other appropriate best
management practices. This SWPPP will be completed by May 30 2010.
Other items
The oily soil near the sand blast area was removed and properly disposed on April 30 2010.
The five drums containing used oil were removed from the site by a vendor on April 30 2010.
All active drums will be affixed with legible and appropriate labels by October 30 2010.
Other exterior areas showing oil stains during your initial inspection were cleaned with the oily
residue properly disposed on April 30 2010,
Ward Tank submitted the NOI for coverage under NPDES General Permit NCG030000 on May
14 2010. Concurrently, Ward Tank is developing a SWPPP, and has already started to
implement the Permit compliance tasks.
We appreciate this opportunity to respond to your letter of April 13, 2010. In the meantime, if
you have any questions, do not hesitate to call.
