Dear Mr. Bennett:
For the month of December, the measurable rainfall that fell during daylight hours was
contained and pumped to Waste Treatment from the 001 North Storm Water
containment catch basin. Any additional rain that fell would have been at night, or
weekends which would have made access to the storm water sampling locations a
safety hazard for plant staff. The 002 South Storm Water containment pond remains far
below discharge level. For these reasons there were no samples collected for the month
of December.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Dear Mr. Bennett:
For the month of September, the measurable rainfall that fell during daylight hours was
contained and pumped to Waste Treatment from the 001 North Storm Water
containment catch basin. Any rainfall discharge would have happen during hurricane or
that discharged at night, would have made access to the storm water sampling locations
a safety hazard for plant staff. There was no discharge from 002 South Storm Water
containment pond during daylight hours. For these reasons there were no samples
collected for the month of September.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

For the month of May, the measurable rainfall that fell during daylight hours was
contained and pumped to Waste Treatment from the 001 North Storm Water
containment catch basin. Any additional rain that fell would have been at night, or
weekends which would have made access to the storm water sampling locations a
safety hazard for plant staff. The 002 South Storm Water containment pond remains far
below discharge level. For these reasons there were no samples collected for the month
of May.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

contained and pumped to Waste Treatment from the 001 North Storm Water
containment catch basin. Any additional rain that fell would have been at night, or
weekends which would have made access to the storm water sampling locations a
safety hazard for plant staff. The 002 South Storm Water containment pond remains far
below discharge level. For these reasons there were no samples collected for the month
of May.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate �qt�c9Rtact me.

Dear Mr. Bennett:
For the month of January, the measurable rainfall that fell during daylight hours was
contained and pumped to Waste Treatment from the 001 North Storm Water
containment catch basin. Any additional rain that fell would have been at might, or
weekends which would have made access to the storm water sampling locations a
safety hazard for plant staff. The 002 South Storm Water containment pond remains far
below discharge level. For these reasons there were no samples collected for the month
of January.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

AUG o a zols
This is to notify you that no stormwater sampling was conducted at this facility for the month of
July 2016. Any measurable rain fall event during this period occurred on weekends, or at hours
during the week that made it unsafe to get samples due to darkness or extreme weather
conditions. Qualitative monitoring and monthly facility inspection observation log sheets were
filled out and are maintained on site.
Should you have any questions, contact John Bass at 336-333-3030 x 3039 or Jaynes Hodges at

Dear Mr. Bennett:
JUL 0 2 2015 {
For the month of May 2015, the measurable rainfall that fell during daylight hours was
contained and pumped to Waste Treatment from the 001 North Storm Water containment catch
basin, any additional rain that fell would have been at night, or weekends which would have
made access to the storm water sampling locations a safety hazard for plant staff. The 002 South
Storm Water containment pond remains far below discharge level. For these reasons there were
no samples collected for the month of May 2015.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Dear Mr. Bennett:

CENTRAL FILES
DWR SECTION
For the month of September, the measurable rainfall that fell during daylight hours was contained
and pumped to Waste Treatment from the 001 North Storm Water containment catch basin. Any
additional rain that fell would have been at night, or weekends which would have made access to
the storm water sampling locations a safety hazard for plant staff. The 002 South Storm Water
containment pond remains far below discharge level. For these reasons there were no samples
collected for the month of September, 2015.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,

For the month of July, the measurable rainfall that fell during daylight hours was
contained and pumped to Waste Treatment from the 001 North Storm Water containment catch
basin, any additional rain that fell would have been at night, or weekends which would have
made access to the storm water sampling locations a safety hazard for plant staff. The 002 South
Storm Water containment pond remains far below discharge level. For these reasons there were
no samples collected for the month of July 2015.

Dear Mr. Bennett:

DEC 3 0 2014 i
For the month of November 2014, the measurable rainfall that fell during daylight hours
was contained and pumped to Waste Treatment from the 001 North Storm Water containment
catch basin, any additional rain that fell would have been on weekends, which would have made
access to the storm water sampling locations hazardous for operations staff. The 002 South
Storm Water containment pond remains far below discharge level. For these reasons there were
no samples collected for the month of November, 2014.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Dear Mr. Bennett:
For the month of December the measurable rainfall that fell during daylight hours was
contained and pumped to Waste Treatment from the 001 North Storm Water containment catch
basin, any additional rain that fell would have been at night, or weekends which would have
made access to the storm water sampling locations a safety hazard for plant staff. The 002 South
Storm Water containment pond remains far below discharge level. For these reasons there were
no samples collected for the month of December 2014.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Dear Mr. Bennett:
For the month of May 2014, the measurable rainfall that fell during daylight hours was
contained and pumped to Waste Treatment from the 001 North Storm Water containment catch
basin, any additional rain that fell would have been at night, or weekends which would have
made access to the storm water sampling locations a safety hazard for plant staff. In addition,
sample collection hold times would be compromised. The 002 South Storm Water containment
pond remains far below discharge level. For these reasons there were no samples collected for the
month of May 2014.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Dear Mrs. Allocco:
RECEIVED
DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY
JAN 2 4 2011
SWP SECTION
MOORESVILLE REGIONAL OFFICE
We are in receipt of the Notice of Violation (NOV) issued to this facility by your Office on
January 6, 2011 regarding a facility inspection by Mr. Wes Bell of your Office. The
following is in response to the NOV.
I would like to bring to your attention to the events that preceded the inspection by Mr.
Bell that led to the circumstances existing at the time of the inspection.
At approximately 4 p.m. on December 4, 2010, this entire facility lost electrical power.
Power was not restored until 11 p.m. that day. During the outage, some critical
components of our wastewater conveyance system were out of service, including several
pump stations. As a result, a number of the facility's wastewater sumps overfilled and the
excess flowed by gravity to other areas.
For example, any wastewater that flowed from the plant went to the collection point in the
northeast corner of the property. This area is designed to collect water from the property
and provides for a collection point should a spill occur on the yard. There is a dike
installed here along with a pump to specifically provide for the collection of this water and
return to plant wastewater under normal conditions. However, with no power, the pump
did not pump any water to wastewater treatment as designed, resulting in the product
observed in and around the north stormwater outfall. Your report concurs that
wastewater did not reach any surface waters. This sump and dike area is cleaned on a
regular basis and is not normally in the condition observed. The sump, dike, and outfall
area have been cleaned and restored.

We have recently brought in an engineer to evaluate improving the drainage and
containment for the feather plant and the northeast area of the property. He should have
his recommendations soon for us to implement. Our intentions are to minimize the
possibility of an episode such as what Mr. Bell observed.
The lift station at the wastewater plant that had overflowed was due to the same reason.
The earthen berm did its job and diverted any overflow into the wastewater treatment
pond thereby containing it. Standard practice is to clean any spills of this nature. Had
there been more time, this would have been done. The area has been cleaned and
restored.
The trailers Mr. Bell observed leaking were clean trailers that had been recently washed
and parked on the yard awaiting transport offsite to a customer. We left the tailgates and
drain valves open to allow the unit to dry out. However, we have since instituted a
practice to close and seal the trailers before they leave the wash bay after washing.
Mr. Bell noted some material on the ground near the railroad tracks. This was caused by
the failure of a sump pump located near this area that conveys water generated in the tank
farm back into the plant for treatment. Due to the extended power outage, this pump had
become frozen and sprung a leak. When power was restored, the pump began spraying
material onto the ground. This is not normal operation and this material would have been
cleaned up in due course. The area has since been restored. This pump has been
relocated to minimize the likelihood of a recurrence.
In summary, a power outage of this magnitude during sub -freezing temperatures creates a
number of operational upsets and difficulties of an unforeseen nature. We responded by
addressing the problems as quickly as possible and were in the process of recovering from
the outage when Mr. Bell made his visit. Despite the difficulties, the controls operated as
designed and the wastewater was contained on site.
Had the inspection occurred when we were in normal operations, we believe the results
would have been much more favorable.

Page three
Corrective actions include the cleanup and restoration at the north outfall area, cleanup of
the berm area by the wastewater treatment plant, institution of the new practice in
handling washed trailers, cleanup and relocation of the pump by the railroad tracks, and

Subject: Notice of Violation
Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Carolina By -Products — Gastonia Division
Stormwater Permit No. NCG060173
Gaston County, N.C.
Tracking 4: NOV-2011-PC-0020
Dee Freeman
Seerean;
Enclosed is a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection Report for the inspection conducted at
the subject facility on December 15, 2010 by Mr. Wes Bell of this Office.
This report is being issued as a Notice of Violation (NOV) due to the facility's failure to properly
implement a good housekeeping/preventive maintenance program which is a violation of the subject
Stormwater Permit and North Carolina General Statute (G.S.) 143-215.1, as detailed in the Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan section of the attached report. Pursuant to G-S- 143-215.6A, a civil penalty of
not more than twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) may be assessed against any person who violates
or fails to act in accordance with the terms, conditions, or requirements of any permit issued pursuant to
G.S. 143-215.1.
The facility has been under the requirements of the Tier II program for an extended period of time
due to exceedances of the benchmark values (significantly more than four occasions). As indicated in the
subject permit, DWQ may require the pen-nittee to initiate additional actions if the sampling results exceed
the benchmark value for any specific parameter at any specific outfall on more than four occasions. These
additional actions include the following: increase/decrease monitoring frequencies for the remainder of the
permit, rescind General Permit coverage and reapply for individual permit coverage, install structural or
other stormwater controls/measures, and implement site modifications to qualify for the No Exposure
Exclusion. Please note that Crowders Creek (receiving stream) is listed on the Division's 303(d) 2010 list
of impaired waterbodies from State Route 1108 to State Route 2424 for fecal coliform and
ecological/biological integrity (macroinvertebrates).

Inspection Summary:
STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN (SPPP) SECTION cont'd:
Raw mate rialslprcducts related to the facility's operations were observed en the asphalt adjacent to the
manufacturinglloading areas. The facility staff flush these asphalt areas with a causticiwaier rinse followed by a
chlorinelwater rinse (cdor ccntrolldis":nfection) approximately 2-3 times ,per week. The drainage system installed for these
areas conveys the rinse water/wastewater and stormwater flows to the north pump station (adjacent to the north
stormwater outfall). The wastewater is then pumped to the main pump station for the the on -site wastewater treatment
system. The facility's wastewater is pretreated on -site prior to discharging into the City of Gastonia's wastewater collection
system (Crowders Creek WWTP).
A conveyance pipe for a floor drain in the manufacturing process was observed in the drainage channel for the north
pump station. The wastewater that had accumulated in the concrete holding area (shallow) for the pump appeared light
brown with suspended solids (including raw materials). The SPPP indicated that the north pump station is shut-off
following twenty -minutes of operation (at a minimum) during a rainfall event. Evidence of the raw materials/products
(related to the facility's operations) were observed in and adjacent to the north stormwater outfall. Please be advised that
all wastewater discharges (including causticichlorine rinse waters, floor drain discharges, etc.) must be contained and
properly disposed Any stormwater that has been intermixed with the wastewater discharges must also be contained and
properly disposed (not discharged through the stormwater outfall). The discharge of wastewater without a permit can
subject the facility to potential civil penalties.
At the time of the inspection, the facility's good housekeeping/preventive maintenance measures had not been properly
implemented. Wastewater from several parked trailers was observed discharging onto the parking lot and entering the
drainage ditch for the south stormwater outfall. Note: The wastewater did not reach any surface waters. In addition, a
product of the facility's operations (light brown appearance) had been piled on ground adjacent to the secondary
containment structure for the storage tanks. The stormwater in this drainage area flows parallel with railroad tracks prior
to intermixing with the permitted non -contact cooling water discharge. The combined discharges flow through a rip -rap
channel prior to entering the receiving stream (Crowders Creek).

Comment: The facility has designated two stormwater outfalls. No discharges were
observed to surface waters; however, concerns regarding each outfall are addressed
further in the "SPPP/Summary" Section. Exposures to the facility's products/materials
were observed in the drainage area between the railroad tracks and manufacturing
building (See SPPP/Summary Section for further details). If these exposures are not
eliminated, then a third stormwater outfall should be designated prior to the confluence
with the permitted non -contact cooling water discharge.
An earthen berm had been constructed at the main pump station to convey any
wastewater overflows into the aerated lagoon. Evidence of a conveyed overflow into
the lagoon was observed during the inspection. The facility staff must ensure that all
wastewater is collected and properly disposed.

Dear Mr. Snider:
RECEIVED
INVISION C- L P`: -:R QUALITY
OCT 3 1 2012
MOORESVaLLE OFFICE
This is a report on an incident at Valley Proteins' Gastonia, N.C., facility which occurred on
October 2, 2012, involving the entry of a small quantity of processed restaurant grease into
Crowders Creek. This report contains the information you requested in our conversation of
October 2, 2012.
Incident Description
At approximately 5:30 A.M. on Tuesday, October 2, 2012, plant personnel discovered that a line
had failed on a pumping system for processed restaurant grease, causing the grease to spray
outside of a containment area. Investigation revealed that the spill had traversed approximately
75 feet over an area of gravel and grass, and entered a channel for discharge of noncontact
cooling water which leads to Crowders Creek. It is estimated that less than 50 gallons of grease
entered Crowders Creek.
Responsive Action
The source of the leak was immediately isolated at 5:30 A.M. Further loss of material was
stopped by containing the leaked material through the immediate construction of an earthen berm
and placement of oil absorbent spill pads.
Plant management notified Mr. Scott Jackson with NCDENR of the event at 8:05 A.M. on
October 2, 2012.
Carolina Environmental Response Team (CERT), in Charlotte, N.C., was summoned for
assistance and responded by 10:30 to assist in the cleanup. CERT immediately placed
containment spill booms on Crowders Creek at three locations downstream of the event. All
areas on the ground and leading up to the point of entry to the cooling water discharge were
cleaned and stabilized. CERT completed remediation by noon on the following day, October 3,
2012. CERT continued to inspect containment booms on Crowders Creek for several days. All
booms on Crowders Creek were removed on October 8, 2012, since no additional grease was
found on the water or adjacent banks.

Grease Spill Incident — October 2, 2012
Page 2
Sampling was conducted beginning on October 2, 2012, at points upstream and downstream of
the point of entry. Samples were tested for pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature, BOD5, oil and
grease, and fecal coliform. All BOD5, fecal coliform, and oil and grease testing was conducted
by an independent lab, PRISM Laboratories, of Charlotte. The results of the sampling are
attached to this report
Action Taken to Prevent Recurrence
Investigation revealed that an incorrect type of temporary hose was used on the grease pumping
system being used at the time of the event. This system is not routinely in use. The incident has
been reviewed with plant operations and maintenance personnel. The temporary hose has been
replaced with solid steel piping.

Dear Permittee:
Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under General Permit NCG060000. This permit expires
on August 31. 2002- The Division staff is currently in the process of rewriting this permit and is scheduled to have
the permit reissued by late summer of 2002- Once the permit is reissued, your facility would he eligible for
continued coverage under the reissued permit.
In order to assure your continued coverage under the g*eneral permit, you must apply to the Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) for renewal of your permit coverage. To make this renewal process easier, we are informing you in
advance that your permit will be expiring. Enclosed you will find a General Permit Coverage Renewal
Application Form. The application must be completed and returned by March 4.2(H)2 in order to assure continued
coverage under the general permit.
Failure to request renewal within this time period may result in a civil assessment of at least $250.00. Larger
penalties may be assessed depending on the delinquency of the request. Discharge of stormwater from your facility
without coverage under a valid stormwater NPDES permit would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and
could result in assessments of civil penalties of up to $10.000 per day.
Please note that recent federal ic-islation has extended the "no exposure exclusion" to all operators of industrial
facilities in any of the I I categories of "storm water discharges associated with industrial activity," (except
construction activities). If you feel your facility can certify a condition of "no exposure", i.e. the facilty industrial
materials and operations are not exposed to stormwater, you can apply for the no exposure exclusion. For additional
information contact the Central Office Stormwater Staff member listed below or check the Stormwater & General
Pertnits Unit Web Site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc,us/su/stormwater.litml
If the subject stormwater discharge to waters of the state has been terminated, please complete the enclosed
Rescission Request Form. Mailing instructions are listed on the bottom of the form. You will be notified when the
rescission process has been completed.
If you have any questions regarding the permit renewal procedures please contact Mike Parker of the Mooresville
