Provide a narrative description £~(the products manufctctured or services provided hy the Company's primary and secondary business at its Decatur, Alabama locationfor each calendar year beginning with calendar year 1996 to I hu present.

1. Tru-Line Manufacturing is a metal fabricator in the business of providing fluid transfer lines to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) industry. The processes involved in producing fluid transfer lines includes cutting purchased low ~arbon steel tubing, deburring, cleaning, end forming. brazing, bending, and powder coating the finished product per the customers' specifications. The business was established in 1976 and this is the only product manufactured at this facility since its inception.

Tru-Line Coatings. secondary business in operation in the Tru-Line Manufacturing facility was in operation from calendar year 1993-2006. This business was strictly a custom coating powder coating process. However, the waste streams produced were all part ofTru-Line Manufacturing's effluent.

None in its natural state. Operations such as welding, burning, grinding or machining may pose acute or chronic inhalation health effects. Skin or eye contact with coating oils may cause irritation with prolonged or repeated contact.

EFFECTS OF ACUTE EXPOSURE None to sheet steel. Welding, burning, grinding or machining can generate metal particulate or elemental oxide fumes. Inhalation overexposure to manganese fume has been reported to cause "metal fume fever" characterized by fever and chills (i.e., flu-like symptoms). Such an overexposure is unlikely due to the small amount of manganese available. Fumes or mists of surface treatment oils may irritate the eyes and upper respiratory tract, and cause headache, dizziness and I or nausea if exposure is excessive.

EFFECTS OF CHRONIC EXPOSURE None to sheet steel. Chronic inhalation overexposure to metal fume (i.e ., iron oxide fume) may cause a benign pneumoconiosis (i.e., .siderosis) with few or no symptoms. Repeated or prolonged contact to coating oils may cayse skin irritation and dermatitis.

PART IV A. TOTAL TOXIC ORGANIC (TTO) REQUIREMENTS

Total Toxic Organics (TIO) shall be defined as found in the applicable regulation (e.g., 40 CFR Parts 413, 433, 464, 465, 467, 468, or 469). TIO monitoring shall be necessary only for those compounds which are possibly present as a result of screening analyses, and/or a detailed review of TTO sources used in the facility. Annual certification shall be submitted by the permittee in January that the TTO parameters tested during the previous calendar year were those which could reasonably be expected as a result of screening analyses and/or presence of the TTO compound on-site. In addition to TTO monitoring, the Director or his designee may require that the permittee prepare and submit for approval and implementation a toxic organic management plan [or solvent management plan]. In lieu ofTIO monitoring, facilities subject to 40 CFR Part 413,433, and 469 may submit a toxic organics management plan [or solvent management plan] which identifies toxic organic compounds used, the method of disposal used instead of discharge (such as reclamation, contract hauling or incineration) and procedures used for ensuring that toxic organics do not routinely spill or leak into the wastewater. The Department shall review the plan and initial TIO analysis, and if the plan is approved, the plan and any Department comments shall become a requirement of this permit. If design or construction is needed for the plan, engineering plans and specifications shall be submitted to the Department for review.

Should toxic organic pollutant levels be sufficiently low for those facilities subject to 40 CFR Part 413, 433, or 469 and the toxic organic management plan [or solvent management plan] is approved by the Department, the Department may waive further monitoring requirements provided all monitoring reports submitted thereafter include the following certification: "Based on my inquiry of the person or persons directly responsible for managing compliance with the permit limitation [or pretreatment standard] for total toxic organics (TTO), I cerlify that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, no dumping of concentrated toxic organics into the wastewaters has occurred since filing of the last discharge monitoring reporl. I furlher cerlify that this facility is implementing the toxic organic management plan {or solvent management plan] submitted to the permitting (or control) authority. n

Should in-plant conditions change such that the toxic organic management plan (or solvent management plan) is no longer valid (i.e., spill containment is modified, toxic organic compounds used are changed, etc.), a modified plan and implementation schedule shall be submitted 90 days prior to such change and must be approved by the Department to again discontinue TIO monitoring. In any event, the toxic organic management plan [or solvent management plan] shall be reviewed and updated at least yearly after approval by the Department, to assure that the plan is still valid and meets the intent of this permit. Such review and update shall include, but not be limited to, a review of toxic organics used, containment provisions for each, and a physical examination of all components of the containment or management system used. Records of this yearly review shall be maintained by the permittee for a minimum of three years. Discharge ofTIO to any waste stream limited by this permit shall in no case be intentional, unless the waste treatment system is designed to remove TIO, and such discharge has been specifically approved by the ADEM Water Division.

B. DILUTION PROHIBITION

The permittee shall not augment the use of process wastewater as a partial or total substitute for adequate treatment to achieve compliance with any limitation in this permit.

"Based on my inquiry of the person or persons directly responsible for managing compliance with the permit limitations for total toxic organics (1TO), I certify that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, no discharge of toxic organics in concentrations above those established by this permit, or other laws or ordinances, has occurred since filing of the last discharge monitoring reporL I further certifY that this facility is implementing the solvent management plan submitted to the permitting (or control) authority. "

Should in-plant conditions change such that the toxic organic management plan is no longer valid (i.e., spill containment is modified, toxic organic compounds used are changed, etc.), a modified plan and implementation schedule shall be submitted 90 days prior to such change and must be approved by ADEM to again discontinue TTO monitoring. In any event, the toxic organic management plan shall be reviewed and updated at least yearly after approval by ADEM, to assure that the plan is still valid and meets the intent of this permit. Such review and update shall include, but not be limited to, a review of toxic organics used, containment provisions for each, and a physical examination of all components of the containment or management system used. Records of this yearly review shall be maintained by the permittee for a minimum of three years.

Discharge of TTO to any waste stream limited by this permit shall in no case be intentional, unless the waste treatment system is designed to remove TTO, and such discharge has been spcctfically approved by the ADEM Water Division.

DILUTION PROHIBITION

The permittee shall not augment the usc of process wastewater as a partial or total substitute for adequate treatment to achieve compliance with any limitation in this permit.
