Sullins, Director Division of Water Quality December 1, 2008 Karl Ochs Bestway South Inc. 3877 Luker Rd Cortland, NY 13045 Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit Permit No. NCS000328 Bestway South, Inc. Iredell County Dear Mr. Ochs: 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: Analytical monitoring changes: 1. The analytical monitoring for Arsenic, Chromium, BOO, COD, and TSS was maintained for the sampling requirements in this permit. Additional monitoring will include Copper and Nitrogen. 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 (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. 5. 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. 6. You are responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote 1 of Tables 1, 4, and 5. 7. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall parameter is in this permit, however.)

Permit No. NCS000328 8. Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with analytical and qualitative monitoring. This requirement appears in all Individual Stormwater permits, however it only applies to facilities that do vehicle maintenance. If the facility begins vehicle maintenance during the permitted timeframe then the requirements shall apply. Other permit changes: 1. Additional guidance is provided about the Site Plan requirements. The site map must now identify if the receiving stream is impaired and if it has a TMDL established. It must also describe potential pollutants in each outfall. The map requirements are stated more explicitly. And, the site plan must contain a list of significant spills that have occurred in the past three years and also must certify that the outfalls have been inspected to ensure that they do not contain non-stormwater discharges. Additional information is provided in Part II Section A. 2. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Management Plan have been specified in Part II Section A. More details regarding secondary containment are provided. 3. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been specified in Part II Section A. The plan must also be updated annually to include a list of significant spills and to certify that the outfalls do not contain non-stormwater discharges. 4. The facility must now implement a semi-annual Facility Inspection Program of the site's stormwater management controls as specified in Part II Section A. 5. Information regarding the No Exposure Exclusion has been added to this draft permit. If industrial materials and activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described in 40 CFR §122.26(g), the facility may qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES stormwater discharge permit requirements. Additional information is provided in Part I Section A. . Please submit any comments to me no later than thirty (30) days following your receipt of the draft.

Ili areas,where elimination of exposure is ment plan shall document the feasibility of not practical, the stormwater manage diverting the, stormwater runoff away from" areas of potential contamination. (b) Secondary Containment Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is required for: bulk storage of liquid materials; storage in any amount of Section 313 of Title III of,the Superfund Amendments 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 uchtanks and stored materials and their associated secondary containment areas° shall be maintained. 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 closed 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. (c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management Practices (BMP) 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 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 II Page 4 of 10 Permit No. NCS000328 3. H Spill Prevention and Response Plan.

Facility personnel (or the team) 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 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, 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. A Preventative Maintenance and Good House maintenance and good housekeeping progr: all stormwater control systems, stormwater surface waters and wetlands, industrial acti material handling areas, disposal areas, pro, haul roads), all drainage features and struct program shall establish schedules of inspec activities of stormwater control systems as facility systems that pre Inspection of material h be incorporated into the inspections, maintenanc in the SPPP. al allbe developed.

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 assignments provided. 7. Plan Amendment. 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. All aspects of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. The annual update shall include an updated list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous three years, or the notation that no spills have occurred. The annual update shall include re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. Each annual update shall include a re-evaluation of the Part 11 Page 5 of 10 Permit No. NCS000328 effectiveness of the BMPs !listed in the BMP Summary of the Stormwater Management Plan. 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 III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 5) to the Director that the changes have been made. 8. 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 r:• during the second half (July to December), with;at least 60 daysseparating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently than semi-annually).: These facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring required in Part II B and C of this permit. 9. Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Plan. Implementation of the Plan 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 years and made available to the Director or the Director's authorized representative immediately upon request. Part II Page 6 of 10 Permit No. NCS000328 SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1. All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a representative storm event. The required monitoring will result in a minimum of ten analytical samplings being conducted over the term of the permit at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). A representative storm event is a storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall and that is preceded by at least 72 hours in which no storm event measuring greater than 0.1 inches has occurred. A single storm event may contain up to 10 consecutive hours of no precipitation. For example, if it rains for 2 hours without producing any collectable discharge, and then stops, a sample may be collected if a rain producing a discharge begins again within the next 10 hours.

Implement the selected actions within two months of the inspection. 5. Record each instance of a Tier One response in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. 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. j Tier Two If. During the term of this permit, the first valid 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 permittee shall: 1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier One. 2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring for all parameters 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 the benchmark range, for all parameters at that outfall. 3. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee is required to submit a monthly monitoring report indicating "No Flow." 4. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. Part II Page 9 of 10 Permit No. NCS000328 During the term of this permit, 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 more than four occasions, the permittee shall notify the DWQ Regional Office Supervisor in writing within 30 days of receipt of the fourth analytical results. DWQ may, but is not limited to: • require that the permittee increase or decrease the monitoring frequency for the remainder a of the permit; • require the permittee to install structural sto-nwater controls; • require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures; or • require that the permittee implement site modifications to `qualify for the No Exposure Exclusion.

Owner's Other Permits: Owner has no other permits in BIMS. 2, General Observations: All water drains to a ditch that leads to the pond. All chemicals stored inside or in containment area. Overfill sensors are' installed on work tanks and combo tanks. Significant Materials Stored: CCA bulk storage in building, diesel fuel bulk storage in tank, mold inhibitor drum storage in building, waste drums stored on drip pad, and propane stored in propane tank and cage. 3. Impairment: Third Creek (12-108-20-4) is on the 303(d) for turbidity. Basinwide Plan recommends local actions to reduce sedimentation, turbidity and fecal coliform contamination and to promote the production of instream habitat by restoring riparian vegetation throughout the watershed. 4. Threatened and Endan eg red: There is one species that is federally threatened within 2 miles of the site based on the Natural Heritage Virtual Workroom. Hexastylis naniflora (Dwarf -flowered Heartleaf) Threatened. However, based on a GIS layer from Natural Heritage there are no species that close. 5. Location: The outfall discharges to a classified C stream. 6. Industrial Changes Since Previous Permit: None provided in application. After talking with the permit contact an updated site was sent that included a new storage building. 7. Analytical Monitoring Notes: The permittee indicated in the renewal application that they could not do analytical monitoring due to their pond never discharging. The permit required them to sample for Arsenic, Chromium, BOD, COD, and TSS. All monitoring will be maintained for the renewed permit. The EPA Multi -Sector permit for Sector A recoininends monitoring for Total Arsenic and Total Copper for SIC 2491, Wood Preserving. Copper will be added to the monitoring because it is in both of the treatment processes: Dispersed Copper Azole, CCA. Nitrogen added because it could potential come for the Dispersed Copper Azole treatment. 8. Qualitative Monitoring Notes: The permit requires qualitative monitoring twice a year, once in the spring (April - June) and once in the fall (September -November). No mention of qualitative monitoring was mentioned in the application. Probably because they had no discharge from the pond. The central file had one qualitative monitoring report. It looked ok but the water was light brown.

Maintaining monitoring for Arsenic, Chromium, BOD, COD, and TSS. Adding monitoring for Copper and Nitrogen. 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 (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 duiuig the tem, of this pennit, the sampling results aie above [lie 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. 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. See Footnote 1 of Tables 1, 4, and 5. 7. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall parameter is in this permit, however.) 8. Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with analytical and qualitative monitoring. Other Proposed Changes to the Previous Permit: 1. Additional guidance is provided about the Site Plan requirements. The site map must now identify if the receiving stream is impaired and if it has a TMDL established. It must also describe potential pollutants in each outfall. The map requirements are stated more explicitly. And, the site plan must contain a list of significant spills that have occurred in the past three years and also must certify that the outfalls have been inspected to ensure that they do not contain non-stormwater discharges. Additional information is provided in Part II Section A. 2. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Management Plan have been specified in Part II Section A. More details regarding secondary containment are provided. 3. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been specified in Part II Section A. The plan must also be updated annually to include a list of significant spills and to certify that the outfalls do not contain non-stormwater discharges. 4. The facility must now implement a semi-annual Facility Inspection Program of the site's stormwater management controls as specified in Part II Section A. 5. Information regarding the No Exposure Exclusion has been added to this draft permit. If industrial materials and activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described in 40 CFR § 122.26(g), the facility may qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES stormwater discharge permit requirements.

This manual is not designed or intended to be used as a directional or operations document. Any operations developed for pressure treating wood, must be in compliance with EPA and other Federal and State regulations. All of the. storm water control measures and practices described in this document must only be., used if they meet or exceed all applicable EPA and/or other Federal and State regulations. cuncerning the use of hazardous materials. Ariy pollution prevention measures used at. a wood preserving facility but not identified in this manual should be included on the appropriate worts sheet pages. STATEMENT OF POLICY FOR THE SWPPP The wood preserving facility intends to develop and implement this SWPPP with the expressed cooperation of tenants for the purpose of minimizing .the potential for the release of toxic or hazardous substances directly, or indirectly, to the storm drainage system. To achieve this objective, the responsibilities of both the wood preserving facility and the tenants, for the facilities they individually operate, include the following: ® Implementation of the policies and procedures presented in the SWPPP Conducting periodic reviews of policies and procedures to evaluate the effectiveness of the current SWPPP Updating the SWPPP and related materials, as listed above, whenever there is a significant physical change in a facility or a significarit.change in the operational procedures of a facility that could result in the discharge of pollutants to the storm water drainage system, or an increased risk of such discharge. 1 Nanie; Darren Hager Title: General Manager Wood Preserving Ta ility NAxi : $estwa�!

It contains a treating plant with a 64-foot double door cylinder. It has three work tanks, CCA bulk storage tank enclosed in a blocked with sprinkler system installed. The drip pad is double lined and is fully self contained with burms surrounding the treater. All chemical that drips from the treated lumber is drained back into the door pits where it is reused in the treating process. The water system used for the treating process has a check valve and a back flow pr eventer system installed. The treating plant is covered by a steel building with gutters and is paved around it. All chemical tanks used in the treating process are contained inside a concrete and steel building that is double lined and can contain everything if there was ever a major accident. The dry kilns have a boiler system and are fueled by natural gas. It is a concrete and steel structure. It is used as a drying process only. The chemical used for treating of the water in the boiler is kept inside a 3 0-gallon storage container and is pumped directly into the boiler. All oil and fluids for the forklifts are stored in steel storage tanks with sight glasses on each. All used oil is put into the oil furnace tank, which is used to heat the shop. All batteries and filters are sent off site with vendors. All hazardous waste generated from the treater are stored in 55 gallon drums and removed by Terra First Inc. The treater and shop have spill containment kits for small and large spills. o f' e Site Plan as J All chemical used to treat the lumber here at Bestway South Inc. are stored in bulk storage tanks inside an enclosed area in the treatment plant. All lumber that comes in brite are stored on the yard on gravel until ready for treating. All treated lumber must stay on the pad until drip free. Once it has bepome drip free, it is stored on the gravel storage area until it ships. All hazardous waste from the treating process is swept up and stored in 55 gallon drums until they are ready to be disposed of by our hazardous waste business. Wst of the yard is paved and is cleaned on a daily basis by keeping all bands and trash picked up and disposed of. All work on equiptment is done inside the shop and all used oils are used inside the used oil furnace and all filters and cleaners are disposed of by our vendors. 41 k MATERIALS MANAGEMENT PRACTICES Any practices.. designed to limit contact of pollutant with the storm water discharge. A roof constructed over an above ground storage tank, containing diesel fuel, would be an example of a material management practice that would limit contact of the significant material with rainfall. Pressure r-et.ort and CCA bulk storage in building Drip pads located under cover are sealed and bermed wi,_t h two liners Unloading of CCA concentrate in contained area under cover Sealinq of all cracks in primary and secondary containment areas Steel liner for interceptor pits Treated lumber stored on drip pad until_ drip free EQUIPMENT MANAGEMENT PRACTICES Many types of equipment are associated with wood preserving facilities including: pressure retorts, bark strippers, saw mills, fueling trucks, maintenance equipment, freight transfer vehicles, and fork lifts. As an example of an equipment management practice, the cleaning of equipment should occur in designated controlled areas. Waste water from the cleaning operation should be contained, pre-treated and discharged to the sanitary sewer or removed by a qualified waste disposal company. SIGNIFICANT MATERIALS TREATED Significant materials include but are not limited to: raw materials, fuels, solvents, detergents, plastics, finished materials such as metallic products, food processing or production raw materials, hazardous substances designated under Section 101 (14) of CERCLA, any chemical the facility is required to roport pursuant to Section 313 Title III of SARA, fertilizers, pesticides, and waste products. SIGNIFICANT MATERIALS SPORED cca bulk storage in building diesel fuel bulk storage in tank mold inhibitor drum storage in building waste drums stored on drip pad propane storedinpropane tank and cage 6 SIGNIFICANT MATERIALS DISPOSED cc -a contaminated solid waste stored in drums per Pretreatment may include discharging to an API or CPI oiVwater separator before discharging to the sanitary sewer. Designated forklift to drip Did area Curbing around drip pad All CCA areas enclosed with drain sumps VEHICLE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES Maintenance of vehicles can be a significant source of storm water pollutants. Materials associated with vehicle maintenance include waste oil, solvents and other degreasers used to clean engine parts, antifreeze, radiator flush, brake fluid and battery acids and sludges. Conducting maintenance in an enclosed area protected from runoff and precipitation and implementation of a waste minimization program are two examples of management practices relating to vehicle maintenance. A waste minimization program may include the collection, recycling and reuse of oils and solvents used in the maintenance process. Many companies provide waste oil and solvent collection and recycling services. Vehicle maintenance area in building shon g Batteries, Filters are recycled through maintenance shop Any vehicle leakage ( hydraulic fluid, oil, ect. ) in yard cleaned up immediatly and disposed of properly MATERIAL LOADING AREAS Describe and define areas (mark on site map as well) in which materials are loaded, unloaded or stored at the wood preserving facility and a potential exists for exposure to storm water.

List pollutants and the quantities in Table 3-1. Wood Preserving Facility Size (in acres or square feet) Area to outfall #1 = 22.91 acres ( total site area 22.91 acres Percentage of Impervious Area 50 % ( 1.05 acres of buildings and 8.17 acres graded /.paved) Significant Spills or Leaks The wood preserving facility must list all historical spills or leaks of toxic or hazardous pollutants to the storm water system that have occurred since November 19, 1988. This list must include: toxic chemicals, listed in 40 CFR 372 that have been discharged to storm,.water as reported on EPA Form R, and oil or hazardous substances in excess of reportable quantities, 40 CFR 110, 117 or 302. Table 37.2 should be used to record the lists described above. Summary of Sampling Data If the wood preserving facility has conducted sampling of the storm water discharges, the data should be included in the SWPPP document. Record the sampling event(s) information in Table 3-3 and include only a one page summary from the sampling'data report package.

All water is either contained in the pond until it evaporates or is absorbed back into the ground. We have checked the pond on several occasions during rainfall in or around 4 hour increments and have not had any djscharge. Therefore we are unable to take stormwater outfall samples to send off for testing. This is why we do not have any records of analytical test results.

Inspections will include determining if floor drains should be sealed, capped, or labeled and regulated if they discharge to the storm sewer system. All liquids including cleaning solvents, oil, fuel, and coolants on floor areas should be removed and disposed of promptly. Oil/water separators will be utilized, in conveyances that drain cleaning areas, as part of the pre-treatment system before wastewater is discharged to the sanitary system or to a collection tank for later removal. Periodic maintenance of the oil/water separator will be conducted to ensure continual effective removal of pollutants. Materials collected in the separator include hydrocarbons and other floating debris. When a CPI separator is used the parallel plates will, be cleaned with a high pressure water stream. When a tank is used to store wastewater or recycled water regular inspection of all pipe fittings and seals will be conducted. The washing and cleaning operations should occur in a fixed area where the fluids can be collected and discharged to a sanitary sewer. Where operations are extensive, the installation of water recycling and/or pretreatment equipment may be warranted. Materials Storage Areas Options: Material storage areas for dry chemicals, sand and gravel, etc., will be inspected for conditions where contact with precipitation or runoff could occur. Inspection for the possibility of windblowing will be included. If materials are affected by wind, material covering, enclosure or removal will be considered. A x Tanks will be inspected for leaks, corrosion, deterioration of the foundation, masonry retaining walls and slab of the tank farm, and closure of drainage valves. Also careful inspection of the seams, rivets, nozzle connections, valves, connecting pipelines, hoses, and evidence of corrosion, pitting, cracks, dry rot, abnormalities and deformation, will be required. CCA and fuel bulk storacre wig 1 be inspected weekly y x All storage tank levels will be logged daily and whenever products are loaded or off-loaded. Tank levels are also to be monitored during operational use. Tank levels will be carefully noted when use is discontinued and remeasured whenever operations are restarted. ,.Major differences in levels, of course, will be indicative of leakage. See charge sheets for daily production In areas of dry chemical storage, storm water diversion measures will .: be developed. Diversion can be accomplished by utilizing berms or ditches to change flow paths. N / A X Liquid storage facilities will have sumps or leak trays located below valves and drain points and should be contained at least within a bermed area having removable absorbent materials to soak up any spillage. Areas where liquids are stored will have a ready supply of absorbent materials and possibly spill containment booms, depending on the volume of liquid material stored. CCA storage, drip pad and tram area drains into door pits for recycling ( sump cleaned every 90 days ) x Wherever possible, material storage will be under some form of shelter. Platform storage with a tarpaulin type cover may be sufficient for such storage. All significant material stored under roof or in containment area Fuel/Chemical Transfer Pipelines X Inspections will include visual examination.. for evidence of deterioration of pipelines, hoses, sumps, pumps, valves, seals and fittings. For larger facilities with large bulk storage tanks, particular attention will be given to the items above and any sensors required to interact with the tank being filled. (Many facility spills result from fueling attendants depending on such sensors and°being inattentive while the tank is being overfilled.) All vents and overflows directed to containment system x Containment booms will be readily available to maintenance and/or .tank truck personnel in these areas. Absorbent material stored in maintenance shecl'fnr nil spills CCA spill kit -',stored on site with PPE and rlPan „rn_ supplies Moldex spill kit stored in fiber rlr„m Material Transfer, Loading and Unloading Options: Staged materials for loading or unloading will be kept out of storm water flow paths by storage within' bermed areas or on platforms surrounded by dikes or berms which direct storm water flow away from the materials. Inspections of loading and handling areas will need to be quite frequent in the early phases of implementation of the SWPPP until revised loading and unloading practices become the norm. Areas will be inspected for clean and dry loading platforms, clean. equipment, proper storage of loading equipment and maintenance of any equipment used. N / A Bermed areas fortankers to park while awaiting refilling assignments will be established. The bermed areas will provide for containment of spills from broken hoses or from leaking valves in an area where clean-up efforts will be better. focused. CCA transfer hoses and piping in containment area with cover, overflow and vents directed to containment area Vehicle Cleaning and Repair Options: x Equipment cleaning, paining, and repair activities will be conducted in predesignated and controlled areas. The areas `designated for these activities should be inspected for assurance that all drains discharge to sanitary sewers. Where grease, oils and solvents are used in maintenance and repair in regular and substantial quantities a oil -water separator will be a precursor to a sanitary sewer discharge. Inspection and maintenance of oil -water separators will be conducted on a regular basis. Cleaning and servicing of forklifts done in maintenance_. shop, all used oil, grease, and all other fluids are used in the used oil::furnac Equipment cleaning fluids will be discharged to a sanitary sewer. These areas will be inspected to assure that w4ste waters are not swept or hosed into the storm sewer system. Equipment painting areas will be inspected to ensure paints, solvents,. and abrasive are not discharged to the storm sewer —It is important that any areas designated for painting be strictly controlled. Airborne -particulants from spray painting operations may settle in areas where contact with storm water occurs. Paints and solvents will be kept under cover. x Waste oil receiving areas will be established and maintained. The waste oil system will .be well established so that personnel, including maintenance workers and tenants are aware of the correct disposal procedures. A contract will be established with an outside vendor to institute a waste oil collection system. The system will include designated waste oil collection areas, inspection and regular. disposal of the oil. All used oil used;in shop oil heater and all tires--to--be recycled by vendors• Maintenance and Inspection of Wood Treating Equipment.

Standard medical treatment for such condition is acceptable. Waste will contain a dilute mixture of chromic acid, copper oxide and arsenic acid. For eye contact, wash with water for 15 minutes. If swallowed, induce vomiting. Treat for arsenic pentoxide (As2O,) and. chromium -trioxide (CrO,) exposure. Emergency Response - Hazardous Waste Spill An employee discovering the spillage will immediately contain it. Then immediately report it to a member of management. A member of management will then contact the designated Emergency Coordinator. The emergency coordinator will obtain the following information: 1. the material spilled 2. .location of spillage of hazardous material 3. an estimate of quantity released 4. any injuries involved 5. the area contaminated by the spillage Based on tho information obtained, the coordinator will assess the magnitude and seriousness of the spillage. If the incident is within the capabilities of the company's emergency response organization, the Emergency Coordinator will contact and deploy the necessary personnel. If the accident is beyond plant capabilities, the Emergency Coordinator will contact the appropriate agencies. A list of agencies and phone numbers is shown on page 5 of the Contingency Plan. If a spill occurs in the hazardous waste storage area, the waste should contain no free liquid, but in the event that liquid is present, a dike should be made around the spill using the absorbent material located in the hazardous waste storage area. When the waste is dry, after addition of sufficient absorbent, the material should be placed in 17H DOT approved drums. Drum must be marked with hazardous wasto label. Accumulation start date should be marked on drum label. If the spillage has. come from a leaking hazardous waste drum, then the drum should be placed by forklift in an 80-gallon recovery drum, marked with a completed hazardous waste label including accumulation start date. Only those persons involved in the emergency operation will be allowed within the designated hazard area. If possible, the area will be roped or otherwise blocked off. If the spillage occurs on the concrete drip pad, the curbing and slope should prevent any waste leaving the pad. area. Wash any free liquid into the sump and re -use in the CCA process. Solid waste is.to be placed in 17H DOT approved drums. The Emergency Coordinator must ensure that the drip pad has been totally cleaned. The clean-up will be performed by personnel designated by the Emergency Coordinator. All non -essential personnel will be removed from the hazard area. All materials contaminated during the clean-up operation must be. placed in drums for proper disposal. The Emergency Coordinator has the responsibility for ensuring this is done. In addition, the Emergency Coordinator must ensure that, in the affected area of the plant: A. No waste that may be incompatible with the released material is treated, stored or disposed of until clean-up procedures are completed. B.
