Z Interior process and storage areas are designed to capture spills, so that nothing can escape the building. 3 Storage tank pumping stations are diked to capture any incidental spills from hoses or valves. 4 The roll -off dumpster pad is covered to eliminate rainwater from entering the dumpster and washing out any spillage or leakage around the dumpster. 5 The only uncovered outside dumpster is used solely for cardboard recycling is a standard dumpster with doors and plastic covers 6 Process materials are not stored outside the warehouses or buildings 7 Team members are 24 hour HAZWOPER trained with annual 8 hour refresher training. 8 Tanker unloading is a permitted process so that all valves and connections are cross-checked by a second person to eliminate accidental release. 9 Tanker unloading is monitored for the entirety of the process by company personnel. STI Polymer educates team members so that they are knowledgeable of the hazardous of all materials and the adverse effects that a spill or loss of material can have on the environment. A %STI POLYMER Changes since last permit STI Polymer has added a 23,000 gallon stainless steel AST that is protected by a 23,000 gallon concrete containment dike. This storage tank was added to increase the storage volume for 2-Ethyl Hexyl Acrylate or Butyl Acrylate. This will eliminate the number of tankers being unloaded thus decreasing the exposure risk. Two monomers have been added to the tank farm Methyl Acrylate, CAS# 96-33-3 and Ethyl Acrylate CAS# 140-55-5. These monomers have been moved from drums to bulk storage to accommodate the change in business. Moving from drums to bulk will decrease handling reducing the possible exposure.

PO Box 219 Sanford, NC 27331 Dear Ms. McMillan: Coleen H. Sullins Director March 25, 2009 Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit Permit No. NCS000531 Saiden Technologies, Inc. Lee County Dee Freeman Secretary Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility.. Please review the draft very carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains. The draft permit contains the following significant items: Analytical monitoring: 1. Analytical monitoring parameters are included in this permit. 'These include pH, COD, Methyl, Methacrylate, Acrylonitrile, Styrene, and Vinyl Acetate. 2. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi -amorally during a representative storm event as defined in Part lI Section B. The permittee must also document the total precipitation for each event. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating "No Flow" within 30 days of the end of the six-month sampling period. Additionally, samples must be taken a minimum of 60 days apart, as specified in Table 2. 3. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring have been added to this draft permit. Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a'tiered program. •If the sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at any outfall then the facility shall follow the Tier 1 guidelines which require a facility inspection within two weeks and implementation of a mitigation plan within two months. If during the term of this permit, the sampling results are above the benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall two times in a row (consecutive), then the facility shall follow the Tier 2 guidelines which require a repetition of the steps listed for Tier 1 and also immediately institute monthly monitoring for all parameters at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples. 4. You are required to collect all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during representative storm events as defined in Part II Section B. Qualitative monitoring is required regardless of representative outfall status. 5. You are responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote 1 of Tables 1, 4, and 5. 6. Vehicle maintenance monitoring is set to semi-annually in order to coincide with analytical and qualitative monitoring. This requirement appears in all Individual Stornnwater permits, however it only Wetlands and Stormwater Branch 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 One Location: 512 N.

General Observations: • No, major chemical spills recorded in last 3 years (2006). • There are numerous surftctants used onsite. Also, the following hazardous substances are stored in the ASTs, chums, and/or totes that may be exposed to stormwater: Acrylonilrile, Methyl Melhacrylate, Styrene, and Vinyl Acetate. "]'here are also a few color dyes used onsitc.1 2. Impainnenl: The receiving stream is not listed on the 303(d) list and there are no TMDLs. "rhe basinwide plan states that it is not rated. There is habitat degradation in the stream; steep undercut banks and sandbars. It drains urban Sanford areas. Threatened and Iatdangered: The Cape Pear Shiner (a fish) is found in downstream of the facility in Little Buffalo Creek, where the creek meets the Cape Fear River. The NHP database shows that the Shiner was found in a separate creek that also drains to the Cape Pear, downstream of where the Little Buffalo Creek meets the river. However, the expected range of the fish includes part of Little Buffalo Creek. "though the outfall of the facility does not intersect the expected location of the fish, stormwater from the site may affect the Shiner downstream. Potential threats to the species and its habitat could come from such activities as changes in stream flow, runoff' from agriculture and communities, road construction, impoundments, wastewater discharge, and other development projects in the watershed (hltp://www.Rvs.gov/nc-es/fish/cfsliiner.litml). Analytical Monitoring Notes: One event was sampled for this new application. All the results were below the current benchmarks. "These included Oil & Grease, BOD, COD, TSS, Nitrogen, and Phosphorous. Also, pl-1 was measured and within the range of 6-9. "These results are good, but it is just for a single monitoring event. No sampling was performed for the 4 hazardous substances listed above in General Observations. The EI'A MSGP did not list any parameters for this SIC code; subsector C5. 5. Qualitative Monitoring Notes: During a site visit by DWQ (Myrf Nisely & Ken Pickle), an unidentified white, milky substance was observed in the stormwater. Revised Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring: 1. Adding COD because it is a good general indicator of stormwater pollution from the chemicals onsite; Methyl Methacrylate, Acrylonitrile, Styrene, and Vinyl Acetate bcCaLlse they are potential pollutants listed on the application. Note that the benchmark for vinyl acetate is based on limited data. 2. PH has been added to the analytical monitoring requirements. 3. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as defined in Part II Section B. The permittee must also document the total precipitation for each event. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating "No Flow" within 30 days of the end of the six-month sampling period. Additionally, samples must be taken a minimum of 60 days apart, as specified in Table 2. 4. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring have been added to this draft permit. Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (13MPs) in a tiered program. If the sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at any outfall then the facility shall follow tile'rier 1 guidelines which require a facility inspection within two weeks and implementation ofa mitigation plan within two months. If during the term of this permit, the sampling results are above the benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall two times in a row (consecutive), then the facility shall follow the Tier 2 guidelines which require a repetition of the steps listed for "Pier I and also immediately institute monthly monitoring for all parameters at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples. 5. The permittee is required to collect all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during representative storm events as defined in Part II Section B. Qualitative monitoring is required regardless of representative outfall status. 6. The permittee is responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued.

The engineer is Andy Rodak of Rodak Engineering, PC. My review of their submittal this morning indicates that upon closer review I will probably find it sufficient.. I'll probably write the permit to cover the conventional pollutants (pH, BOD or COD, TSS, 0&G) plus some pollutants that reflect the presence of the organic chemicals that they have on site (potentially vinyl acetate, ethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, acrylonitirile, and styrene.) It looks like Aisha couldn't find a re -submittal because the re -submittal got held up in my office, rather than being entered into BIMS. I'll rectify that within the week. Myrl, I apolgize for the delay. I know it affects you in the execution of your responsibilities. I'll try to prioritize Saiden over the next couple of weeks. Ken Aisha Lau wrote: Howdy Myrl, Here's the return letter that I found in our file, written by Ken. I couldn't find the original no exposure certification that you read to me, or the old permit in our files. I also couldn't find where a new application was submitted since the return went out. so, if these guys are operating such that they now have stormwater exposures on site they are operating without a permit. If you have any additional questions about this site don't hesitate to ask either me or Ken. Take care, Aisha 1 of 1 8/15/2007 10:52 AM W A rF9 0 ral Mr. Andrew M. Rodak Rodak Engineering, P.

Ross Jr., Secretary North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Alan W. Klimek, P.E. Director Division of Water Quality September 25, 2006 Subject: Stormwater application return #1128 Saiden Technologies, Inc. - Sanford Lee County On September 21, 2006, the Division of Water Quality, Stormwater Permitting Unit received your application for an individual NPDES stormwater discharge permit on behalf of Saiden Technologies, Inc. in Sanford, North Carolina. The submittal contained a check for $80, a transmittal letter, EPA Forms 1 and 2F, drainage area .calculations, a site layout drawing, and a site location map. Our initial screening review indicates that the submittal is deficient, and we are returning it unprocessed. The submittal is deficient in that the check for $80 is insufficient. The fee for an individual stormwater discharge permit is $715. The submittal is deficient in that the narrative describes an engineered detention basin receiving stormwater runoff from the industrial area of the site, but the attached site layout drawing does not show that basin in a way that we can recognize. Please be advised that DWQ typically issues individual stormwater permits containing monitoring requirements for the significant process materials handled on a site, unless site conditions and/or analytical testing of the stormwater runoff will allow us to conclude that there is no potential for the materials to be present in the stormwater runoff. The applicant's on -site process materials were not tested for as part of the submittal, and it is likely that we will include some of them in the final permit. We are particularly concerned with the materials requested in Section C of EPA Form 2F and specifically identified in the instructions for Form 2F that are present on the site: acrylonitrile, methyl methacrylate, styrene, and vinyl acetate. Upon closer review of your next submittal, we may also conclude that additional on -site process materials should be monitored in the final permit.

Thorpe, Ph.D. Acting Director Division of Water Quality Ms. Ann McMillan Saiden Technologies P.O. Box 14447 Research Triangle Park, NC 27709 Subject: "No Exposure" exemption NCS000384 Return Lee County Dear Ms. McMillan, Based on the information your consultant, Mr. Tim LaBounty, provided in his letter received February 15, 2001 it has been determined that your facility does not require a stormwater permit at this time. Currently there are four ways to claim a stormwater permit exemption. They are 1) the industry has eliminated all potential stormwater exposures, 2) the activity does not meet the "industrial" definition, 3) all stormwater from the facility drains into a detention pond that does not discharge during a 25 year/ 24 hour storm event, and 4) there are no point source discharges for the entire facility. Because your facility has been designed to prevent all potential pollutant exposure to stormwater it will not require an NPDES stormwater permit at this time, based on exemption f 1 above. Therefore the permit application that the Division received on October 3, 2000 is being returned to you. To continue your stormwater exemption in the future you will need to certify that your site still has no stormwater exposures every 5 years. At this time the Division is still developing how this addition to the stormwater permitting program will be handled. You will be notified when you need to recertify. Please be aware that knowingly making any false statement, representation, or certification in any application record, report, plan or other document filed or required to be maintained under Article 21 or regulations of the Environmental Management Commission implementing that Article, is a misdemeanor [GS 143-215.6B(i)] punishable by a fine not to exceed 510,000 or by imprisonment not to exceed six months, or by both. If at any time your facility plans change so that you will no longer fall under any of the stormwater permit exemption categories, you must apply for and obtain a stormwater permit before making those changes. If you have anv questions, please feel free to contact Aisha Lau at (919) 733-5083. ext. 578. Sincerely, r"Gregory J. Thorpe, Ph.D. Enclosure cc: Raleigh Regional Office Mr. Timothy L.

The regulations concerning completing this section for a proposed discharge require that the applicant complete the values for Section VII using an estimate of the pollutant values. Please listactual numerical estimates for each pollutant included in Section VII ("none" or "less than's" would not be acceptable). The source for these estimates must be included in the application materials. (During the first two years of actual operation, the permittee will be required to perform and submit actual analyses for these parameters if they have not already done so by other permit mandated analytical monitoring). These provisions are explained in 40 CFR 122 26(c)(1)(G). A copy of this section is attached for your use. The requested information must be submitted within 60 days of this letter. If the required information is not received by this date, the Division will have no alternative but to return this application as incomplete.
