BorgWarner Automotive
Effective March 1, 1999, Kuhlman Corporation was acquired by Borg Warner Automotive. Schwitzer Engine Components, formerly a division of Kuhlman Corporation, is now Borg Warner Turbo Systems, a division of Borg Warner Automotive. Therefore, effective March 1, 1999 Borg Warner Automotive assumed total responsibility for all permits which were formerly the responsibility of Kuhlman Corporation.
Sincerely,
Mike Stautner Plant Manager Asheville Facility

The facility Contingency plan addresses requirements under 265.Subpart D. It is currently being revised to reflect a change in one of the four emergency coordinators. A log of weekly inspections is kept at the facility. Manifests are organized. However, the waste codes described above have been omitted on all manifests for respective waste streams. Training was last conducted in 1996. The hazardous waste storage area has been moved to a smaller storage room off the rear loading dock. It consists of a 20' x 40' concrete containment room. The room also serves as a flammable product storage room. At the time of inspection there were 2-55 gallon drums labeled as D00ll39/40. Both were closed and dated and in storage for less than 90 days. The facility operates three satellite accumulation stations in the damper area. One for paint related material in the bond area, one for toluene in the bond area, and one for paint related in the lacquer area. Each was labeled and closed as required, however, the toluene drum in the bond area was had residues on the top of the drum, down the sides and in the single containment Improvements to the housekeeping maintaince schedule were discussed.

requirements for waste minimization for large quantity generators;
6. FACILITY DESCRIPTION
Facility is a machining and assembly plant for hea~7 duty diesel engines.
7. TYPE WASTE
Genesolve was used in 2 operations in the pla~t. It has been replaced in both operations~ In the inspection area it has been replaced with an aqueous cleaner. In the painting area engineering changes hav replaced genesolv "t-Iith a sandblast operation.
Bond adhesive has been re!(laced \'lith a less hazardous lo"torer CFC product. Although this subst1tution has had no effect in the generation of hazardous waste, it has increased compliance with Air ~~ality regulations.
Facility continues to investigate the use of waterbased coatings. In addition the facilit¥ has replaced mineral spirits as a lubricant in the broaching operat~on l'~ith an oil based coolant.
Non-hazardous waste streams of used oils and coolants have been decrwased over the past several years; The facility has decreased used oil/ wastewater shipments from 25000 gal/month to 2000 gal/~~arter. This has been accomplished in phases, first with installation of a chip/wetal fine b~iGke~, with ~lt~a filt~ation of Goolant, and most recently with the installation of an evaporator; "Recovered" used oil is then recycled by Holston Ener~z-

Dear Ms. Hamel:

NORTH CAROLINA 0EF'ARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND N..rrURAL. RESOURCE:S
Hazardous Waste Section March 14, 2001
The information which you submitted to this office dated March 7, 2001 has been reviewed by theN. C. Hazardous Waste Section (HWS). The submittal concerned the proposed expansion of the Borg Warner facility located on Brevard Road in Asheville, Buncombe County, N.C. You requested input from the HWS because the expansion project will impact an area of the facility that was formally used to treat (react) magnesium turnings. The treatment of the turnings was done under the auspices of an Emergency Hazardous Waste Permit issued by the Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources dated December 2, 1991 and signed by Mr. William L. Meyer, Director of the then Solid Waste Management Division. After the reaction was completed, the burn ash was left in place within the trench where the reaction took place and the area covered.
Based upon the information submitted by Borg Warner the HWS finds no reason that the expansion should not occur in this area. Persons working in the area should be given prior knowledge of the existence and the location of the disposal area should it be encountered during the construction process.
lfyou should have any questions do not hesitate to contact me at (828) 926-4326.

Re: BorgWarner Turbo Systems Inc. (Previously Schwitzer) Brevard Road Asheville, North Carolina
Dear Ms. Pafford,
BorgWarner
Anastasia Hamel Directo r, Environmental Programs BorgWarncr Inc. 11955 East inc Mi le Road Warren, Michigan 48089
Thank you for your assistance and for forwarding the information to Mr. Jesse Wells. In a telephone call, Mr. Wells and I discussed the proposed plant expansion at the BorgWarner Turbo Systems Inc. fac ility located on Brevard Road in Asheville, orth Carolina.
For your inf01mation, the BorgWamer Turbo Systems Inc. facility is what previo usly has been known as the Schwitzer facil ity. BorgWam er Inc. acquired the facility in March 1999.
As yo u are likely aware, a plant expansion at the facility prompted the environmental evaluation of the proposed building expansion area due to its close proximity where magnesium turnings were burned on site per the attached Emergency Hazardous Waste Permit obtained from the State of orth Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and atural Resources (DEHNR) Solid Waste Management Di vision.
Please note that the burning of the magnesium turnings was a "one time only" occurrence and that the burning was conducted under the supervision of the Asheville Fire Department and Beverly Ashbrook, Buncombe County Hazardous Waste Officer.
The following documents, detailing the sequence of events leading up to and including the burning of the magnesium turnings, are provided to assist in your understanding of the situation.
Attachment I: Beverly Ashbrook, Buncombe County Hazardous Waste Officer Letter to Schwitzer
Attachment II: Beverly Ashbrook, Buncombe County Hazardous Waste Officer Letter to Smokey Mountain Machining
Attachment III: State ofNorth Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources Emergency Hazardous Waste Permit
Attachment IV: Pace Laboratories Soil Analyses Results Before and after bum
Attachment V: Beverly Ashbrook, Buncombe County Hazardous Waste Officer Memorandum detailing the sequence of events leading up to and including the burning of the magnesium turnings
Attachment VI: Current Site Diagram showing existing plant and proposed expansion area
Attachment VII: Site Diagram showing area where magnesium turnings were burned
Mr. Wells recommended that BorgWamer Turbo Systems notifies the Department, via letter, that it is in the process of expanding its Asheville manufacturing facility and that the area where the magnesium turnings were burned will be incorporated under the floor of the proposed plant expansion.
Please notify BorgWamer Turbo Systems immediately if, upon review of the attached, the Department has any concerns with respect to the plant expansion activities. Unless otherwise notified, BorgWamer plans to proceed with its ground breaking activities during the week of March 19, 2001 and with construction activities in the vicinity where the magnesium turnings were burned after March 30, 2001.
Per our conversation yesterday reg a rdi n9 the magnesium shavings generated at Smoky Mountain Machining and presently located at Shulimson Brothers facility, please be advised that if the material meets the criteria in 40 CFR Section 261.2 (e) <Materials that are not solid waste when recyc led>, there should be no problem sendLng them to Remaccr in Pennsylvania. That would e~empt the material from being r~gulated as a hazardous waste and would be an acceptable method of han~ling. If, however, Remacor cannot accept the material as it : is, the shavings wi ll have to be d~spo sed of according to the reg~lation~.

Of h~t~, is that I spoke with Mr. Ed Flood of Schwit%er yesterday and he informed me th~t Remacov'in West Pittsburgh• Pa can use magnesium shavings a5 a r~w material in their process and this is how they have disposed of them in the past. This method or utilizinq eMcess matorials e~empts the shavings from being hazardous wast~s under Section 261.2Ce)(l) of 40 CFR which stat~s the folltlwing:
:· E61.2(e) Materials that are not solid waste when recycled.
<1> Materials are not solid wastes when they can be shewn to be recycled by being:. r
Ci) Used or reused ~s ingredie~ts in an industrial proce$s to make a product, provided the materials are not being reclaimed; or
<ii) U$E!d or reused:·as effective substitutes for chemical products; or
(iii> Returned to_._;tJie original process from which ·• they are generated• without first being
recl~imed. The:material must be returned ag ~ ~ substitute ~o~ raw ~ateri~l feedstock, and
the proce~s mus~ use raw materiala as principal feedstock. :>?·: ·.t .... ,.
It would be: most cost effectiv~-~for your. facility if you could contact th~ Pennsylvania fi~m! and make some arrangements with them for acceptance of the shavings now at Shulimson Brothers. Plea~e understand that this material is still your liability ~nd you must make arrangements for:. ·ft•s ggfe dispos.-aL If" Sc:hwitzer can assist . you in the dispo!l'al:~ that is in your benefit. lf Remacor cannot take the material in it•s present f~rm then you must handle it in accordanc~ with all state and federal regulations. l have en~losed a~ listing of disposal facilities for your information. ~
Please let me know as soon as you decide wh~t is to be done with th~ magnesium shavings. This should be done ASAP inasmuch as your facility is in 5e~iou$ violation of the regulations. 1 will be h3ppy to assist you in any way possible •

60 COURT PLAZA ASHEVILLt, NC 28801-3561
\
RECEIVED A CALL FROM WAYNE HAMILTON, ASHEVILLE F!RE MARSHAL, ON 11-22-91 REGARDING AN INCtOeNT CFIRE> THE NIGH! BEFORE AT SHUL!MSON BROTHERS SCRAP YARD (100 MEADOW ROAD) INVOLVING DRUMS OF MAGNESIUM TURNINGS. HE WAS GOING TO TALK TO BERNIE SHULIMSON ON MONDAY, 11-25-91, AND ASKED IF I WANTED TO GO WITH HIM.
11-25-91 MET WITH WAYN~, RANDY BRYANT AND TOM BROOKS <AFD> AT SHULlMSON BROS. AND TALKED WITH BERNI~ SHULIMSON. HE RELAYED THAi TH~ SHAVINGS HAD COME FROM SMOK~V MOUNTAIN MACHINING, A CUSTOMER OF THEIRS. SHU~IMSON BROS. ACCEPTED THEIR METAL SHAVINGS WHICH WERe PRIMARILY ALUMINUM, BRONZE AND STEEL. THEY ACCEPIEO THE MG ONES THIS ONE TIME AS A FAVOR FOR SMOKEY MTN. APPARENTLY, ONCE THEY RECEIVED THE MG SHAVINGS THEY REDRUMMED THEM AND SET THEM INSIDE A SHED WHERE THEY WERE EXPOSED TO MOISTURE AND AIR. IHE SHAVINGS WERE CONTAMINATED WITH COOLING OIL FROM THE MACHINING PROCESS. MR. SHULIMSON STATED THAT HE WAS NOT ADVISED THAT THE MG SHAVINGS WERE FLAMMABLE OR REACTIVE AND WAS NOT AWARE OF IHIS. I ADVISED HIM THAT THIS MATERIAL FELL UNDER THE DEFINITION OF A HAZARDOUS WASTE AND COULD PUT HIM IN THE SITUATION OF RECEIVING A HAZARDOUS WASTE FOR DISPOSAL. t ASKED H!M WHAT HE HAD INTENDED TO DO WITH THE SHAVINGS AND HE TOLD ME HE HAD NO OUTLET rDR THEM AT THIS TIME. 1 SUGGESTED THAT HE RETURN THt REMAINDER OF THE SHAVINGS TO SMOKEY MTN. FOR HANDLING AND NOT ACCEPT THEM AGAIN.
MET WITH PHIL SKIDMORE OF SMOKEY MOUNTAIN AND ADVISED HIM THAT THE MG SHAVINGS FELL UNDER THE DEFINXIION OF A HAZARDOUS WASTE AND HAD TO BE TREATED AS SUCH. HE RELAYED THAi HE WAS DOING THlS JOE FOR SCHWITZER AND THAT THE LAST TIME SCHWITZER HAD HANDLED THE SHAVINGS FOR HIM. HE TOLD ME THAT SCHWITZER HAD TOLD HlM THAT THIS WAS A FLAMMABLE SOLID AND THEY HAD ASKED HIM HOW IT WAS GOING TO BE HANDLED. WHATEVER HE TOLD SCHWITZER AT THE TIME MUST HAVE B~EN ACCEPTABLE BECAUSE THEY DID THE JOB. MR. SKIDMORE TOLD ME THAT PAUL MCKINNEY, PRESIDENT OF SMOKEY MTN., HAD TALK~D TO BERNIE SHULIMSON AND TOLD HIM THAT THE MATERIAL WAS FLAMMABLE. OF NOTE IS THAT THERE WERE NO MARKINGS ON THE DRUMS AT SHULIMSONS WHICH INDICATED THEY WERE FLAMMABLE ·oR THAT IHEY WERE MG. SMOKEY MTN. SAID THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THEY HAD TO HANDLE THE MAGNESIUM SHAVINGS THEMSELVES. I DISCUSSED WITH MR. SKIDMORE THE IMPORTANCE OF HANDLING THIS MATERIAL IN ACCO~DANCE WITH THE LAW AND TOLD HIM THAT I WOULD FORWARD HIM THE INFORMATION NECESSARY TO PROCEED. MR. SKIDMORE ADVISED THAT THEY MACHlNED THE MG. ABOUT 1/QUARiER AND PRODUCED ABOUT 2 55-GAL. DRUMS AT THAT TIME. THIS WOULD BE ABOUT 200-300 POUNOg OF SHAVINGS/MONTH AVERAGE.
RECEIVED A CALL FROM EO FLOOD OF SCHW!TZER WHO ADVISED ME HE HAD BEEN CONTACTED BY SMOKEY MTN. ABOUT THE MG. PROBLEM AND HAD OFFERED TO ASSIST THtM IN DISPOSAL OF THE MATERIAL ON HAND. l ASKED MR. FLOOD WHAT HAD BEEN DONE ABOUT THE MATERIAL BEFORE AND HE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD SENT IT TO A FIRM CALLED REMACOR IN WEST PITTSBURGH, PA WHO USED IT AS A RAW MATERIAL IN TH~IR. PROCESS. HE SAID THAT HE WOULD GET WITH SMOKEY MTN. AND LOOK AT THE MATER!AL AT SHUL!MSON EROS., THEN CONTACT P.EMACOR AND SEE IF THEY COULD TAKE IT.
11/26-27/91
SPOKE WITH ED FLOOD IN A.M. HE AND PERSONNEL rROM SMOKEY MTN. HAD VISITED SHULIMSON BROS. HE SAID THAT THE MATERIAL WAS NOT IN THE ORIGINAL DRUMS AND THAT ALL OF IT WAS WET,· THEREFORE UNSTABLE. WE DISCUSSED OPTIONS FOR DISPOSAL - I.E. SHIPPING TO REMACOR OR TREATMENT. REMACOR HAD TOLD HIM THEY COULD ACCEPT IT BUT TRANSPORTATION OF THIS MATERIAL WAS RISKY. WE DISCUSSEb NEUTRALIZATION AND DECIDED THE EXPOSURE ANO REACTION HAZARDS WOULD B~ PRtSENT AND __ THIS MAY NOT B~ THE BEST OPTION. WE DISCUSSED BURNING THE MATERIAL SINCE MAGNESIUM OXIDE AS THE RESIDUE WHICH WOULD REMAIN WAS NON-HAZARDOUS. MR. FLOOD WAS GOING TO MEET ~ITH HIS MANAGERS AND SEE IF THEY COULD FIND A SUITABLE AREA FOR A BURN. ~ TOLD HIM THAT THIS COULD BE ACCOMPLISHED UNDER AN EMERGENCY PERMIT IN ACCORDANCE WITH 40 CFR 270.61 AND SUGGESTED HE CALL NCDcHNR PERMITTING IN RALEIGH AND TALK WITH HELEN COTTON OR. JIMMY CARTER.
I THEN RECEIVED A CALL FROM RONNIE SOESSEE FROM AIR PO~LUTION CONTROL. HE HAD SEEN CONTACTED BY BERNIE SHULIMSON WHO WAS CONCERNED THAT HE WOULD BE STUCK WI~H THE MATERIAL (I HAD SPOKEN WITH MR. SHULIMSON EARLIER AND ASSURED HIM THAT W~ WOULD GET THIS MG TAKEN CARE OF AND HE WOULD NOT NEED TO WORRY>. I DISCUSSED THE POSSIBILITY OF BURNING THIS MATERIAL WITH RONNI~ DUE TO IT'S REACTIVE POSSIBILITIES AND RELAY~D THE SEQUENCE OF EVENTS WHICH HAO OCCURRED. I TOLO HIM THAT I WOULD CONTACT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO BE IN ATTENDANCE AT THE BURN AND ~ET AN ESCORT FOR THE DRUMS OF MG FROM SHULIMSON TO SHWIT2ER. HE SAID THAT AS LONG AS THE ~IRE DEPT. WOULD BE THERE IT WOULD BE OKAY AND HE WOULD ISSUE A PERMIT. I TOLD HlM I WOULD CONTACT HIM WITH FINAL ARRANGEMENTS.
TALKED WITH EO FLOOD AGAIN. HE HAD DISCUSSED WITH MANAGEMENT THE POSSIBILITY OF A BURN AND THEY HAD AGREED. HE TALKED TO THE STATE ANO OSIAlNED A PERMIT FOR BURNING THE MATERIAL AS LONG AS SOIL SAMPLES WERE TAKEN BEFORE AND AFTER THE BURN. I SUGGESTED TO HIM THAT SMOKEY MOUNTAIN aE VERY INVOLVED IN ORGANIZING THE DETAILS OF THE 8URN AND SE IN ATTENDANCE BUT THAT MR. FLOOD USE PERSONNEL ~XPERIENCED IN HANDLING HAZARDOUS MATERIALS FOR THE
\ ~
PAGE THREE
iRANSPORTATION AND PREPERATION. HE AGREED AND IT WAS DECIDED THAT THE SU~N WOULD BE SET FOR FRIDAY, 11-29-91, SINCE THE PLANT WOULD BE CLOSED AND THE POSSIBILITY FOR EXCESS PERSONNEL IN AiiANOANCE WOULD BE LIMITED.
11-29-91
TALKED WITH TOM BROOKS OF AFD TO ASSURE FIRE DEPT. ESCORT. TALKED WITH ED FLOOD WHO WAS ON HIS WAY TO PICK UP MATERIAL.
ARRIV~D Ai SCHWITZER AT 9:45 A.M. A BACKHOE HAD ALREADY DUG THE TRENCH AND AFD AND SKYLAND FD PERSONNEL WERE ON SC~NE. ED FLOOD WAS THERE AS WERE TWO PERSONNEL FROM SMOKEY MTN. MACHINING. THE TRENCH WAS· LINED WITH PLASTIC AND DIRT WAS PLACED ON THE ~LASTIC TO PREVENT Ii FROM BURNING IN THE EVENT THE ASHES HAD TO BE REMOVED LATER. THERE WERE 4-5 DRUMS OF MAGNESIUM WHICH WERE ADDED TO THE TRENCH AND THE FIRE WAS SET WITH A RR FLARE. IT DID NOT BURN WITH THE INTENSITY THAT WAS EX~ECTED BUT WAS CONSUMED WITH A LITTLE ASSISTANCE WITH iHE FIREHOSE SINCE MOISTURE INCREASES THE REACTION. ONCE THE FIRE HAD BURNED DOWN, THE ASHED WERE STIRRED
·WITH iHE BACKHOE BUCKET TO MAKE SURE OF A COMPLETE BURN, A SAMPLE WAS TAKEN AND THE ~SHES WERE COVERED WITH OrRT.
THE SAMPLES WERE TAKEN TO THE LAB BY SMOKEY MTN. PERSONNEL AND WERE TO BE TESTED FOR PRESENCE OF MG AND FOR REACTIVITY. R~SULTS ARE TO SE FORWARDED TO ME ONCE RECEIVED.

SCHWITZER. INC, ASHEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA
Sch~taer. Inc.- Aahevllle manufactures turbocharger and fan drtvea for heavy duty diesel engtne equipment. Over tht past three years. Schwlber has reduced the amount• of hazardous waste generatea by 96%, from approxirhately 174.865 pounds in 1987 to '1,803 pounds Jn 1989, ·vJ,bUe mcreastng production by about 20%. Tilts reductto;n was ac:hteved pnmarlly by substituting non· hazardo'tls materials for hazardous ones and by Jnstalltng new equtpment that reprocesses or recycles the by· product waste. f~c:ant reductions were also achieved in tbe amount r solid waste d1sp08ed of 1n a landfUl.
In ~987, Scbwltter received recognition for implemrtJng a waate mln1mtzaUon plan which tncluded
• 1 tnstallatlon of a fully enclosed stm for • recovery of perchloroethylene, • I eltminatlon of the de-rust room, and
• subsUtutton of non-hazardous materials for hazardous materials tn the manufacturing
i process. I
Schwltcer't continuing commitment to a comprehensive waste management program ts demonstrated by the following waste management actMt1c,1rnplemented wtthtn the last year:
• 1nstaUatlon of a dlsUllatton unit for another , solvent,
• I purchase of a chip brteker and cardboard baler. • modiflcaUon of the waste containment area.
A .. Junauon unit was installed to reduce the amount of a 'b11ogcnated hydrocarbon solvent waste betng dtspoaect olr-slte.

PRODUCT DATA SHEET COMPOUND RP-77
COHPOUh~ P~-77 vas formulated to meet the metal treatment industry's need for an effective heavy-duty non-emulsifiable, water-displacing rust preventive. · COMPOUh~ RP-77 is the product of choice for a safe non-emulsifiable rust preventive after alkaline cleaning of metals, as vell as any application requiring the displacement of water from metal surfaces. The displacement is very effective whether the pH of the vater left on the part is acidic or basic. The protective film left on the part after evaporation of the solvent is non-staining and ~~11 provide long-term corrosion protection.
COMPOUND RP-77 gives excellent corrosion resistance vhen applied over heavv zinc phosphate conversion coatings (1000-2000 mgs/ft2 ). If the film needs to be removed for further preparation or painting of the part, it vill readily come off vith Madison Chemical's SOLVOL or COMPOUND HT-50;

PRODUCT DATA SHEET DART 072-US
- . '
DART 072-US is a safety solvent designed to produce a highly effective, non-aqueous cold cleaning system. Hard-to-remove grease and oil are readily cleaned from machines, equipment, and parts such as bearings, gears, chucks and shafts. DART 072-US is suitable for immersion, spray or wiping methods of cleaning. It is non-corrosive, has a low evaporation rate to retard losses in immersion tanks, and a high flash point to provide safer ~rking conditions than is possible with mineral spirits or kerosene.
Appearance:
Flash Point: Specific Gravity:
Clear, water-white liquid with mild non-residual odor 175°F. (COC) 0.78
APPLICATION: Use full strentth and unheated. Wipe surfaces with rags or sponges saturated with DART 072-US until the surface is clean. Change or clean rags sufficiently often to prevent resoiling of surfaces. Parts with hard-to-reach areas that do not lend themselves to wipedown cleaning can be easily cleaned of oil and grease by liberal spraying with DART 072-US. If a tank is available, merely immerse or slosh parts in the product until clean and blow dry or allow to air dry.
PRODUCT CAUTIONS: Contains petroleum distillates. Vapor harmful. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Avoid contact 't..-:1 th eyes. !!ar:ft:l or fatal if S'!..~ll"wed. Keep at.:ay from heat or· open flames. Do not smoke or weld in near vicinity. For excessive inhalation, provide fresh air and rest. Call a physician. For skin contact, wash thoroughly with mild soap and water. For eye contact, irrigate for at least 15 minutes with water and get medical attention. For ingestion, call a physician immediately. Do not induce vomiting.
If use is contemplated for purposes other than, or by methods different from those specifically recommended herein, please contact the manufacturer for advice.

An alkali.ne salt and oxidizing agent that, when dissolved in water and heated, will produce oxide films on ferrous alloys.
Nonnal Use
The hot solution of Panther Black produces a jet black ferro ferric oxide (Fe:s04) filln on ferrous alloys. When coated with oil, lao:;ruer or waxes, the film provides noderate corrosion protection to 20% salt spray. This proO.uct is designed to provide protection for indoor storage.
Advantages
1. Produces a pleasant-appearing black finish with added corrosion protection.
2. The alkaline salts do not produce hydrogen ernbri ttlement of the ferrous alloys. This In3kes it an excellent finish for springs and tools.
3. Dime.11.si~•al changes of parts is minimal - in the range of 10 millionths of an inch.
4. Blackening film has good wear resistance.
5. The oxide film has excellent adhesion and will not flake or chip off even when parts are exposed to extreme deformation.
6. I.J::1.N production cost on srrall parts is obtainable since the process lends itself to bulk handling.
7. Surface luster is dependent only on the original surface appearance, therefore lending itself to satin or higher luster finishes without special operation in the coating process.

Electrical immersion heaters rray be used. One hundred gallons of solution "~<:ill require 60 KW to heat tank in one hour fro.-n roo:n temperature to 285° F. TI-1e electrical heater should be installed on one side of the tank and NOT on the botto:n. Usually, heaters are designed for 220 or 440 volts to keep the am?erage required do\o.n.

Egu.irrnent (Cor;tinued)
Water additions to the tank may create splatn~ring, eruptions or ooil-overs due to the high temperature. There are two rrethc.ds that may be used to control ~ater content in the bath, ~~ich deteriT~TIQS the boiling point and concentration. Usually, the boiling point increases due to evaporation.
a. Automatic: Uses a Bristol automatic temperature controller, an electric, lock-in reiay, and a 1/2 hp motor-operated valve on a 1/2" water line.
b. Manual Method: Requires a dial thermo:neter for easy observation by operator and a hand-operated water valve on a 1/211 water line.
The water pipe should be 1/211 black iron and extend to a point just above the nonnal solution level. The pipe should be capped and a 1/8" hole drilled in the pipe on the side that faces the tank wall. A shield should be constructed to prevent splattering toward the operator. The pipe arrl splash shield should be located on the back side of the tarL~ away from operator or loading end of the tarik.
Water should be added while the solution is heated to the boiling point. 'Ih:..s will provide agitation to get water mixed into solution. If agitation is not maintained ~tdle water is being added, other methods of agitation must be provided. The water, otheTh7j_se, may not mix and form a layer on top of the solution. This is dangerous because ~en it does mix, there may be an eruptj.on which could cause boil-over of the solution fra~ the tank.
~~~eup of Ne~ Solution
1. Clean tank of all debris, rust or loose scale. This is important since rust and scale can dissolve and redeposit on finished work, ~tdch will result in a reddish deposit or film.
2. l1easure the tank volume to the operating level 6" from the top (divide cubic inch volu~e by 231 to obtain gallons).
3. Fill tank half full with cold water.
4. SUJ.~_Y, add the Panther Black salts to the water with constant stirring. An iron paddle should be used to stir the solution.
CAUTION!!!
There can be splattering or boil-over of this caustic material as it is added, or caustic spray. Tnerefore, rubber gloves, rubber boots, chB~cal goggles, face shield and rubber apron should be "WOrn by the operator. If mist or dust contaminates the air, a respirator should also be used.
PA~T.-IER BlACK Page 4 of 6
Makeuo of New Solution (Continued)
5. !illd the salts ~til the total 6% pounds/gallon has been added and dissolved. Tne te.7~perature Y-rill rise as the salts arc added.
6. After all salts are dissolved (check botto~ of tank ~rith paddle), water may be added ~i.th constant stirring until the solution is 2" beloY.' operating level.
7. Then, start heating the tank vlith stirring until bath starts to boil.
NOTE: Operating boiling temperature should be 285-3CXP F. If boiling temperature is below 285° F, ~~y add salts until boiling point of 285° F is reached. If boiling point exceeds 295° F, add water until boiling point is in range. The heat is lO'wered to provide a gentle roll.
Replenishing
Salts are lost by drag-out and water is lost by evaporation. Salts are added only to raise level of tank and boiling point. If solution level falls below working level, add water until solutiO'n boiling point is 285-290° F. Then, add salts SLCMlLY with stirring and maintain at a.gentle boil or roll.
Processing Equioment
' ·- ... i
Hork can be processed on racks, in baskets or in barrels. This processing equipment should be made of steel. There should be no copper, lead or other non-ferrous metals in contact with the solution. Racks should be agitated to assure solution contact on all areas. Bulk handlir.g equipment, such as barrels, cylinders or baskets, should be tumbled occasionally to assure contact areas are coated.
Failure to Blacken
1. Work has passiyated in Panther Black solutions that were not up to operating te.-nperatt.rre. To correct, remove parts and rinse; dip in hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid; rinse and re-blacken at proper temperature.
2. Steel may contain chrcme or nickel causing passive surfaces that do not blacken.
3. If solution is boiling and parts do not coat, check temperature v..-ri.th another thermo:ileter since thennaneters often get out of adjustment.
4. If work turns yellowi.sh or yellow-reddish, this indicates solution is too high in temperature and concentration. Add water to lo~'er the boiling point.
' .. ... -"'
PA'\"'HER BlACK Page 5 of 6
Failure to Blacken (Continued)
5. Yellow or yellot-•-red colors can be fro."'l imprDfY.=r rinsing of steel that has been pickled. A soak in Metal Cleaner DR v:i 11 rc."'i'l.J'.'e the rust or iron residue from the pa~s.
6. If bath beco.11es contaminated by iron salts from pickling, the resulting coating may have a reddish smut. For corrective action, see Purification Procedures.
7. Contamination of solution with copper causes work to tum red. For corrective action, see Purification Procedures.
Purification Procedures
1. Transfer solution to a separate tank and dilute to 50% strength ~~th water. The iron contamination will precipitate out.
2. Add 1-1~ pounds Sodium Sulfide/1000 gallons of the 50% strength solution. Dissolve Sodium Sulfide in water before additions. Copper Sulfide will precipitate out as black precipitate.
3. Allow to settle for 4-8 hours before transferring the top one-half of the solution back to the working tank. Be sure to clean ~·orking tan'l< of ali sludge, scale and parts before returning solution.
4. Bring working tank back to operating strength w~th fresh salts. The rB"'leining CLEAR solution can be used as replenishing solution. This ~~11 reduce the sa~ts consumed in purification to a minirm.rn.
Disposal of sludges of Ferric Hydroxide and Coppe~ Sulfide should conform to Federal, state and local regulations.
Han::Ein~ Considerations
DANGER!_~-~
Tnis produce contains caustic which is corrosive. \,ben handling this product, do not breathe dust which is very irritating to the upper respiratory tract. Avoid contact to skin and eyes. Wear clean clothes, chemical goggles, rubber gloves, rubber apron, rubber boots, rubber gauntlets and full face shield.
hhlle making solutions, add product SW-JLY to surface of solution ~~th agitation to avoid splatter or violent eruptions. Use adequate ventilation. 00 !\'TQT TAKE INTERNALLY.
Blackening solutions operate at very high temperatures; therefore, the operator must be protected from splashes wTiich could occur from hoist rralf~ctions, dropping work load into tank or other malfunctions of the equip:nent . ·

RE: Notice of Violation NCD 981 025 950
Dear Mr. Flood:
Pursuant to Section 3006(g) [42 u.s.c. 6926(g)] of the Solid and Hazardous waste Amendments of 1984, any new requirements and prohibitions imposed under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) take effect in authorized States. Therefore, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will carry out these requirements and prohibitions in authorized States, until the State is granted authorization to do so. The EPA will therefore enforce the prohibitions on land disposal of hazardous waste as published in the Federal Register on November 7, 1986, and effective on November 8, 19~6. CUrrently the land disposal restrictions apply to spent solvent wastes specified in 40 CFR 261.31 as EPA Hazardous Waste Numbers FOOl, F002, F003, F004, and F005. Schwitzer has been identified as a generator of the following spent solvent(s): FOOl.
On April 29, 1987, the North Carolina Solid and Hazardous Waste Management Branch conducted an inspection of your facility to determine compliance with applicable regulations. This Notice of Violation only addresses violations of the land disposal restrictions identified during the inspection. The following violation was identified:
40 CFR 268.7(a)(l) states that a generator who manages a restricted waste under this part and the waste requires treatment prior to land disposal, for each shipment of waste the generator must notify the treatment facility in writing of the appropriate treatment standard set forth in 40 CFR 268 Sul:part D. The notice must include the following information:
(i) ( ii)
(iii)
(iv)
EPA Hazardrus waste Number; The corresponding treatment standard; The manifest number associated with the shipment of waste; and ·. Waste analysis data, where available.
-2-
Schwitzer failed to send in writing with each shipment of solvents since November 8, 1986, the aforementioned notice.
Schwitzer must comply with 40 CFR 268.7(a)(l) for all future shipments of hazardous waste solvents (FOOl, F002, F003, F004, and FOOS). If the above requirement is not met, pursuant to Section 3008 of RCRA [42 u.s.c. 6929], a penalty of up to 25,000 dollars per day may be assessed.
If you should have any questions, please contact David Ellison of my staff at 404/347-7603.

Investigation of Dn.nns Belonging to SWitzer, Inc. Discovered at Wastewater Services
On Novanber 20, 1986, I received a call fran Judy Boone of the Human Resources Department at SWitzer telling rre that approximately 70 drums of unknCMn materials belonging to SWitzer had been discovered at Wastewater Se.z:vice, Inc. , 122 Stuart Street, Asheville, NC. She explained that the plant manager at SWitzer, Terry Keating, would like for rre to visit Wastewater Services to take a look at the drum site. She went on to say that SWitzer had anployed a ccmpany called Maecorp of Harewood, ILL to sample, package, transport and dispose of the materials. She stated that this ccmpany was presently at the drum site sampling am packaging materials.
I visited the drum site on November 21, 1986, along with SWitzer plant manager, Terry Keating, and David King, buyer for· SWitzer. I observed Maecorp personnel sampling drums, overpacking sane drums, and m::wing drums onto a ~ porary pad constructed of double layers of plastic separated by 6" of sam with a 6" berm. The pad was approximately 15' x 40'. The drums being m::wed to the tenporary storage area were being taken fran two locations, approximately 200' apart at the end of the access road. There was no evidence of any drums leaking, but samples of the soil were being taken fran the initial storage areas. According to Jeffrey s. Clark, teclmical services manager of Maecorp, sane bungs were missing fran drums and there was a chance soil might have been contaminated. Mr. Clark info:rmed rre that based on field analysis of the drum contents, nost of the 72 drums at the site would be considered hazardous waste. The majority of the liquid materials were alkaline with a pH of 14; nine drums were identified as having a chlorine content and the only two drums of solid materials were alkaline.
Maecorp appeared to be a canpetent and experienced canpany. l'brkers at the site were dressed in protective suits, rubber l:xx:>ts and rubber gloves. Samples were being analyzed in the field and were also being collected for a nore canplex analysis to be perfo:rmed by a private lab. I asked that we receive copies of all sampling data. I am enclosing a copy of a report prepared by Maecorp which details
Mr. Julian Fescue December 3, 1986 Page 2
heM the site will be harxlled.
As far as why the drums were at Wastewater Services to start with, Mr. Keating, SWitzer plant manager, explained that the materials were sent to Wastewater Services at least 18 nonths ago, prior to my initial visit to SWitzer roncerning the RCRA program, and also prior to the c::crrpany's knowledge of what is ronsidered hazardous waste. No manifests for these drums were available. Mr. Keating stated that as far as he knew, this was the only kind of this type material SWitzer had shipped offsite. He went on to say that SWitzer had fomerly shipped coolants to Wastewater Services, but that the materials had been analyzed by a lab and NR:D had given M:>rris Tramrel of Wastewater Services pennission to use these coolants to supress dust. I was unable to talk to Mr. Trai'Cirel concerning this subject because he was unavailable on the day of my visit.

Subject: Investigation of Underground Storage Tanks for Waste Coolant Storage
Schwitzer Buncombe County, North Carolina
On June 3, 1986, Roy Davis and I met with you to discuss the construction of another monitor well at Schwitzer as the initial monitor well was not constructed at a suitable location to monitor possible contamination from underground waste coolant storage tanks which have since been removed. At that time, you expressed concern that Schwitzer was being asked to construct another monitor well at a different location when Schwitzer had acted in good faith in constructing a well at a location you considered to be acceptable. You also informed us that the septic tanks used for waste coolant storage had been sealed along the joints between the two halves from the inside prior to the tanks being used for waste coolant storage purposes. We informed you that if you would provide us with copies of the soil test and documentation of sealing of the tanks, we would reconsider our request for an additional monitor well.
It is our opinion, after reviewing the information provided on our visit of June 3, 1986, and in your letter of June 4, 1986, that there is insufficient evidence of leaks from the tanks to warrant further monitor well construction for the following reasons:
1. The soil samples from below the tanks did not indicate the presence of significant contaminants; and
.. -· .. ~ Mr. J. Lane Simpson Page 2 June 16, 1986
2. The evidence of leakage I observed at the joints between the tank halves on February 4, 1986, may have resulted from leaks prior to the tanks being sealed when the tanks were used to contain domestic waste.
This does not imply that we consider the groundwater on the site to be uncontaminated, but only that insufficient evidence is available to indicate leakage of waste coolant to warrant further required monitoring. Schwitzer might want to consider the construction of an additional monitor well on the site to satisfy themselves that no contamination exists.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Dear Mr. Simpson:
Subject: Underground Storage Tanks For Waste Coolant Storage
Schwitzer Buncombe County, North Carolina
On February 4, 1986, Max Haner and I made an inspection of a site on Schwitzer's property where waste coolant water and alkaline solution contaminated with various volatile organics, metals, and other chemicals were stored by Schwitzer in five underground septic tanks without discharges. Inspection of these septic tanks, which had been removed from the ground, revealed that they were of two piece construction with a joint midway along the sides. As could be expected, there was evidence of leakage from these joints.
Since these septic tanks were not water tight, contaminated coolant water leaking from them may have impacted underlying groundwaters. In order to determine whether groundwaters on the site have been contaminated, a monitor well should be constructed to a depth of thirty feet or ten feet below the water-table whichever is deeper. The end of the casing on this well shall be equipped with a 10 foot section of well screen that extends 10 feet below the top of the water-table. The well site should be located on the downslope side of the septic tank excavation at a location agreed to by Schwitzer and the Asheville Regional Office of the Division of Environmental Management.
I have enclosed a generalized diagram of the well construction and a permit application that must be submitted to this office for permit issuance prior to construction of the well.
An Equ~l Opportunity Affirmative Action Emplo~-.,r
Mr. J. Lane Simpson Page 2 February 26, 1986
The well should be sampled upon completion for volatile organics,- total dissolved solids, pH, and the following metals: antimony, arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, nickel, selenium, silver, and zinc. The depth to the static water level should be measured and recorded prior to sampling the monitor well. Results of the analyses should be provided to the Asheville Regional Office. Additional monitor wells and sampling may be required if groundwater contamination is confirmed.
In your letter of February 17, 1986, you attached a copy of an analysis of a composite soil sample taken from the septic tank excavation which did not indicate a problem with metals in the soils. However, the analysis did not include volatile organics which apparently were in the waste contained in the septic tanks. If you wish to sell the tanks, refill the area, and plant grass on the surface, you should contact Jim Patterson with the Solid and Hazardous Waste Branch of the North Carolina Department of Human Resources in Black Mountain, for his concurrence.
I find it reasonable to expect for you to submit results from this groundwater monitoring and analyses to us by April 30, 1986.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me in Asheville at 704-253-3341.

Dear Mr. Simpson,
• P.O. Drawer 1018 • Lenoir N.C. 28645
Attached· is the analysis for EP Toxicity performed on dirt taken from the area immediately-under and along the sides of the five concrete tanks that were below ground next to the parking lot at your plant in Arden, N.C.
Four samples were taken at each tank location and were made up of soil that appeared to be visibly contaminated combined with soil that showed no visible contamination. All samples were combined to make up a composite sample that was immediately
·sent to PAR Laboratories for testing. All sampling was performed by myself.
As you can tell by the results, the levels are well under RCRA limits. Considering that there_was never any hazardous waste stored in the tanks to my knowledge-and the test results, I see no need for further testing. Nothing in the attached results indicates that further sampling and testing would be necessary. The state may ask that a sample be run- through a gas chromatograph for further assurance,_ but I doubt that will 6ccur. I suggest that you submit these results and request that they give you direction at this juncture. I would not backfill the area until the state gives its blessing.

December 2, 1985
In accordance with our telephone conversation of December 2, at 9:25A.M., ~e herein request an exten~ion for production of the results of the analysis of our waste streams until December. 15, 1985.
Two separate companies have been contracted for the analysis of our waste streams. In each case, we were assured that the results of the tests would be available to us by November 29, 1985, which was the date given us by Jim Patterson during his visit to ou·r facility on October 29, 1985. However, both companies have now · told us that due to the overload in the laboratories they use,. the reiults will not be available until December 6, 1985 for one of the labs, and December 13 for the other.
We attempted to notify your agency as soon as this information was known by us~ however, due to the holiday on the 28th and 29th of November, we were unable to notify your office on or before the scheduled date.
We will r~lay the test results to you as soon as they are received on the 6th and 13th of: December.
We apologize for the delay and appreciate your consideration of this request.

DATE OF SURVEY October 29, 1985 1 - 5:50 p.m.
~w;ILITY DESCRIPI'ICN · This is a 200 ,000+ sq. ft. facility which manufactures tumo chargers and
fv.n drives for use on large diesel engines.
PReCESSES· AND WASTE STRFAMS GENERATED AT FAClLITY
1] · Alkaline solution used. for a rust inhibitor is contained. in a vat in a roan at the rear of the facility. Exact capacity of this vat· was not known, but it was estimated by facility personnel that 130 gallons/:rronth iS- sl:ent~ -PH-- ---~--. is adjusted to 7.0-7.5 and it is presently being drurme:1 up. Up until reeently, however, this material was being taken to an old 1500-gallon septic tank located several hundred. feet down-gradient fran the plant. 'l11is canpany has no waste analysis_ for this waste nor can they provide rre with infonna.tion as to hav this material was disposed. of in the past. Eleven. 55-gallon drums of this material are in the waste storage area located at the rear of the plant.
2] .Magnesium chips result fran the.machining of magnesium alloy. canpany personnel admitted that these chips were very unstable when exposed to water and could spontaneously ignite. 'nle cc:rrpany has no waste analysis for this material. They did say that the material is being recycled, yet could give rre no narre of the canpany accepting ·the waste. The facility presently has 6-3/4 fifty-five gallon drums of these chips onsite. This material is being stored. inside the plant. Facility personnel had no idea of the arrount of this waste generated.
3 J Perchlorethy lene is used as a solvent for the cleaning of parts. Three tanks are located in various areas of the facility. The capacity of each of these tanks is approximately 64 gallons. 'nlere is no waste analysis for this spent solvent, nor can the carpany tell rre heM this material has been disposed. of or who has L'llsposed of it in the past. There are presently three 55-gallon drums of this

material in the waste storage area at the rear of the plant. Anount of this waste generated per nonth was unknown.
4] Waste coolant fran an estimated 100 machines is pumped fran these machines by a notarized purrp vehicle and stored in a series of four interoonnected 1500-gallon septic tanks. These tanks were abandoned as a septic system when a sewer line was run to the plant. I was told that inlets and outlets in the tanks were plugged prior to using them for coolant storage tanks. '!he canpany did a waste analysis for this material. 'Ibe analysis ilrlicata:l the material was not a hazardous waste. 'Ibe sample, however, was sk:imred fran the top of the tanks. I indicated to canpany personnel that we need a representative sample of this material taken fran bottan to top of tanks. Facility personnel were unable to tell m= heM much of this waste is generated or how this material has been disposed of in. the past. SCire evidence of spillage was noted around the tanks (previous ~te analysis is attached).
5] A 22-gallon tank containing "Genesolv'' (chemical ingredients are 51.6% rrethylene · chloride, 39.1% trichlorotriflourethene, 9.3% cyclopentane) is used as a cleaning solvent. 'Ibis is a relatively new process and no waste has yet been generated.
6] A material referred to as "black .oxide" is used for a parts coating to retal:d rust arrl corrosion. The process involves a vat containing 15-20 gallons of this material and a similar. size rinse vat. I was told that there is no waste generated fran this. process. '!he black oxide is added to as needed. I did notice ~dence of spillage around the. vats on the concrete floors. I was told that the cailpany plans to locate the vats side by side to solve this problem~ There are presently several feet of separation between vats.
7] Two 8-gallon' capacity can5 containing rrethylene chloride have recently been added to the process. I was told the rrethylene chloride is used for the purpose of disipating noisture on parts. '!his process has not generated· a waste at this time.
8] •rhere is a parts wash unit which use.S detergen~ and water to clean dirty parts. '!he wash water is discharged through MSD. ·
9) Waste coolant which runs ·off of m=tal turnings stored in bins at rear of the facility is discharged through MSD.
10) Metal turnings located in bins at rear of ruilding are sold as scrap. Once again I have no name of person or canpany accepting waste.
OTHER INroRMATICN CCNC.ERNlNG FACILITY
a] 21 drums of llilkncMn materials were located in storage area in addition to 11 drums of alkaline solution and 3 drums of perchloroethylene.
b] 'Ibis facility is approximately five years old.
c] I was told that Lane Simpson, the person in charge of envirormental affairs at the plant was on sick leave.

December 19, 1985
On December 16, 1985, I visited Schwitzer to obtain copies of lab analyses for waste streams at this ccmpany due on this date. Copies of these analyses are attached. There are several lab analyses for the coolant; havever, this material was shipped to caldwell Systems as hazardous waste.
I once again asked carpany personnel where waste streams had been disposed of in past years. . Listed bela.; is the infonnation I was able to obtain:
1. magnesium chips - used as raw material by Garfield Co. , Cleveland, Ohio 2. coolant - picked up by Wastewater Services, Inc. , Asheville, NC 3. alkaline solution - canpany was not sure concerning disposition of this
waste, but believed it was picked up by Wastewater Services, Asheville, NC 4. according to company personnel, there have been no wastes generated from the
remaining solvent processes
I have set up an inspection date of January 23, 1985 to inspect this facility for ccrnpliance with large generator standards.
If further infonnation/ action is needed, please advise.

Reference is made to your recent request of this Office to evaluate the contents of the storage tanks at Schwitzer to determine if it is suitable for oiling roads. Based on the analysis conducted by your laboratory and the State's laboratory, it is concluded that the storage tanks contain a low grade cutting oil/water mixture. North Carolina General Statute 143-215.77 allows for 11 the oiling of driveways, roads or streets for reduction of dust or routine maintenance, .. provided that there is nothing in the waste oil which would designate the oil as a hazardous waste under the RCRA Act which h :1dministered in this State by the Department of Human Resources, Office of Solid and Hazardous \~aste Branch.
The following results were obtained by our laboratory from an analysis of the tank contents:
pH Specific Conductance Si 1 ver Cadmium Chromi urn Copper Mercury Lead Zinc
9.7 15 uMhos/ em
< 1.0 ppm < 1.0 ppm < 1.0 ppm < 1.0 ppm
