We are presently subleasing 2300 square feet from M&K Metals who intern leases the remainder of the building from 1600 Osgood St. LLC.There are two site plans located at the back of this plan which show the general layout of the facility and building. Waste storage areas along with other hazardous areas are also shown. Operating hours are from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM Monday thru Friday. Metal Separations Inc. and M&K metals employ 10 employees. Metal Separations Inc. generates hazardous waste as a result of refining and the reclamation of precious metal bearing scrap. Metal Separations also receives precious metal bearing hazardous waste from other generators. The general categories of hazardous waste received and generated at Metal Separations is described in Table 1.1. Also in table 1.1 is the storage and treatment method for each type of waste. All of these wastes are typical of waste streams generated by many industries throughout Massachusetts. When properly handled, stored and treated,these wastes do not pose any unusual hazards. However,this plan is intended to identify hazards that could result if an accident or emergency situation were develop(e.g.,fire, spill,..). Refer to section 1.60 for a description of the hazards of each hazardous waste generated and received by Metal Separations Inc.

The person will be called the Emergency Coordinator, and will have full authority to commit all resources needed to carry out the measures provided in this plan. In case of an emergency at the facility,the Emergency Coordinator is thoroughly familiar with this contingency plan,all operations and activities at the facility,the location and characteristics of the wastes handled, the location of all facility records,the facility layout and the location of all emergency response and spill clean up equipment. All Plant Emergency Local Authorities, Personnel Coordinator Spill Contractor,DEP Personnel Communication In case of any type of emergency, employees are instructed to notify emergency coordinator so that he may assess it and take proper steps to handle the situation. In the case of a large fire,or other dangerous situation, employees are instructed to activate alarm system,for evacuation. Emergency Coordinators will perform their duties in accordance with the following section. Coordinators Responsibility During An Emergency 1. Evacuate the building if deemed necessary by using intercom and runner. 2. Notify DEP,Fire Department, Police Department and all other agencies on the emergency call list,if there help is needed. 3. If there is a release,fire or explosion,the emergency coordinator must immediately identify the character, exact source, amount and a real extent of any released materials. 4. Assess possible hazards to human health or the environment. Because of the nature of the hazards and the small quantities of the hazardous materials, evacuation of local areas would be highly unlikely. If his assessment indicates that evacuation of local areas is advisable, he must: • Immediately notify appropriate authorities. He must be available to help appropriate officials decide whether local areas should be evacuated. • Immediately notify the government official designated as the on scene coordinator for that geographical area or the National Response Center.The report must include: a) Name and telephone number of reporter b) Name and address of facility c) Time and type of incident(e.g., release,fire) d) Name and quantities of materials involved. e) The extent of injuries if any; and f) The possible hazards to human health, or the environment, outside the facility. 4 5. Take all reasonable measures necessary to ensure that fires and explosions do not occur.This would include removing and isolating any hazardous chemicals, stopping all processes, and collecting and containing any released waste. 6. After an emergency, the Emergency Coordinator will: a) Supervise clean up efforts, and ensure that the recovered waste, or contaminated material is properly stored or disposed of. b) Ensure that no waste that may be incompatible with the released material is stored or disposed of until clean up procedures are completed. c) Make sure all emergency equipment is cleaned and ready for future use. d) Notify local authorities and the NH DES that the above items have been completed before resuming operations in the affected areas. e) In the event that a emergency situation did occur,Metal Separations shall note in the operating record the time, date, and details of any incident that require implementing the contingency plan.

Metal Separations Inc. is a small precious metal laboratory specializing in the analysis and refining of precious metals. I have operated this type of facility for over 20 years. I am in the process of moving my operation from Nashua NH to North Andover. I have discussed the operation in detail with Joseph'Su and Tom Parks of D.E.P. and they could see no problem.The emission from the process is to small to require any type of permit. The people at Ozzy Properties recommended that I contact you regarding this matter. Enclosed is a copy of the information sent to DEP.I have sent the fire department a list of chemicals I have onsite along with their MSDS's. I will submit the additions of the any new chemicals,prior to bringing them into the facility. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call me at(603)930-6121. Sincerely, Jeff Carter 4 I F Metal Separations Inc. 1636 Osgood St. North Andover,MA 01841 August 8,2005 James Belsky Div. of Air Quality NERO, D.E.P. One Winter Street Boston MA 02108 Dear Mr.Belsky, This letter is in regards to a phone conversations I had with Tom Parks and Joseph Su on August 9,2005.This letter is to confirm that we are exempt from air permitting or approval pursuit to 310 CMR 7.02(4)A. Exemption is granted as long as we can prove that the emissions from the process are below 1 ton per year. We will maintain records on the amount of acids used and as long as these amounts are less than 1 ton per year it is a fact that our emissions cannot be more than 1 ton per year. Please refer to the facility and process information. Please contact me if there are any misunderstandings or if the process outlined below requires any type of permitting. Facility Information Metal Separations Inc. is a small precious metal analysis laboratory located on 1636 Osgood St. in North Andover. We are in the process of moving two laboratory hoods out of my facility in New Hampshire to my present location in North Andover. We are proposing to install the two laboratory hoods; which are to be used for an acid digestion process to dissolve samples and small amounts of precious metal materials. The hoods are both 4 feet wide, by 3 feet deep,and have a height opening of 3 feet with the sash completely open. The process consists of placing between 10 and 400 grams of materials into a 2- liter glass reaction vessel. Acid is then slowly added to the material or sample until it is dissolved. Normally a maximum of 10 vessels or samples are processed per week,using about 2 gallons of acid(1.5 gal HCl and 0.5 gallons of Nitric,Acid)on a weekly basis. The two hoods will serve other purposes such as venting latent fumes from the filtering of acid solutions.The main process does liberate small amounts of NOx and HCl gasses. However the majority of the acid stays in solution to keep metals in solution along with excess acids. I am assuming 10101b or less of acid used is actually liberated as gasses.This is based on volumes of acid used and volumes of solution created. The table below shows the amount of acid used in 2004 at my facility in New;Hampshire. a , Design Sheet Metal Separations Inc. 1636 Osgood Street Building 48 North Andover,MA 01845 Contact: Jeff Carter Phone: (603)930-6121 Facility Operation Process Description Requiring Ventilation: Primary use of exhaust system is to remove acid fumes from two 4-foot PVC laboratory hoods. Acid gasses primarily HCL,HNO3, and NOX are produced from the digestion and leaching of samples and precious metal materials in acid. Acid fumes, which are created,are scrubbed in a horizontal wet scrubber. Materials used in process: Primary Operation (Lab Hoods)-Raw materials used are as follows: • Muriatic Acid • Nitric Acid • Sodium Metabisulfite Emissions Particulate=0 Gasses=.006 ppm acid gasses prior to scrubber(daily average) .001 ppm acid gasses after scrubber(daily average) Data based on previous tests. Efficiency of scrubber is 90% Determination of Stack Height ftuired Because of the dilution factor of make up air along with a high vertical exit velocity, stack height should not be an issue.The following calculation can be used to estimate plume rise. AH = VsD/u * (1.5 + 2.68*10-3PD*i(TS-TA)/Ts AH = Plume Rise in Meters Vs= Stack Exit Velocity in Meters/Second D= Diameter of the stack in Meters u = Wind Velocity in meters/second p= pressure in mb T= temperature. Given the exit velocity is 45 fps or 13.73 mps,the pipe diameter is 16 inches or.41 meters, and assuming that the wind velocity is 2 mps,the air pressure is 1 atm or 1013mb, and there is no temperature change,the rise of the gasses can be figured as follows: Oh=(I 3.73m/s)*(0.41 m)/(2m/s)*(1.5+2.68*10F3*10 1 3mb)*(0.41 m)*{0� Oh=4.22 meters or 13.83 feet from top of stack. Equipment Blower—Norton PVC centrifugal blower • (3,350—5000 cfm,3"-2"static pressure) • 5 HP Motor(1140 RPM) • Inlet Diameter 16 inches,outlet is 15.75 x 12 inches) Scrubber—Ambi Incorporated Model#KT-05,fiberglass scrubber rated for 5000 cfm. Ductwork—Duct will be all PVC hung with proper hangers.°Sizes will range from 16 to 8 inches with 8 inch and 4-inch drops to equipment needing ventilation, Stack— 16 inches PVC vertical discharge • Gas Exit Velocity of 45 ft/second • Discharge height above ground is approximately is 28 ft A (h)=14.3 ft 31 ft. M&K Metals 21 ft SI i TT I E Diff in Elevation Oft_ The above diagram shows the relationship of the heights of 1636 Osgood St and the closest neighboring building building#37. Building is approximately 30 ft east of Metal Separations' facility. When including difference in elevation building 37 is 14 ft taller than building 48(Metal Separations) Difference between building 37 and top of emission stack is 7.5 feet. Since the rise of the plume is approximately 14 feet(see calculations for Ah)any possible contaminants would clear building 37 by at least 6.5 feet. Contaminants exiting the emission stack are dilute and should pose no threat to building 37.The majority of the gasses are lighter than air and would rise. i Date...../7-2-O � C--' .: .. y f ,&OfVTN " TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER p PERMIT FOR WIRING �SS�cMU 7 This certifies that �D 'IL�r/ �ivL'� � 17r ............... ................................................ has permission to performL-' f ... ....................... ... . .................................. wiring in the building of.......

Exemption is granted as long as we can prove that the emissions from the process are below I ton per year. We will maintain records on the amount of acids used and as long as these amounts are less than 1 ton per year it is a fact that our emissions cannot be more than 1 ton per year. Please refer to the facility and process information.Please contact me if there are any misunderstandings or if the process outlined below requires any type of permitting. Facility Information Metal Separations Inc.is a small precious metal.analysis laboratory located on 1636:Osgood St. in North Andover. We are in the process of moving two laboratory hoods out of my facility in New Hampshire to my present location in North Andover. We are proposing to install the two laboratory hoods, which are to be used for an acid digestion process to dissolve samples and small amounts of precious metal materials. The hoods are both 4 feet wide,by 3 feet deep,and have a height opening of 3 feet with the sash completely open.' The process consists of placing between 10 and 400 grams of materials into a 2- liter glass reaction vessel. Acid is then slowly added to the material or sample until it is dissolved. Normally a maximum of 10 vessels or samples are processed per week,using about 2 gallons of acid(1.5 gal HCl and 0.5 gallons of Nitric Acid)on.a weekly basis. The two hoods.will serve other purposes such as venting latent fumes from the filtering of acid solutions.The main process does liberate small amounts of NOx and HCl gasses. However the majority of the acid stays in solution to keep metals in solution along with excess acids. I am assuming 10%or less of acid used is actually liberated as gasses.This is based on volumes of acid used and volumes of solution created. The table below shows the amount of acid used in 1.004 at my facility in New Hampshire. T a Metal Separations Inc. 1636 Osgood St. North Andover, MA 01841 Acid used in year 2004 Type. Volume Weight Concentration Lbs of Approximate amount ure acid liberated for 2004 HCl 120 1120 35% 392 39 lbs HCl or much less as H2 HNO3 45 525 67% 352 35.lbs HNO3 or 27 lbs NOx The ventilation air rate for the above procedure in the two hoods will be 4000 standard cubic feet per minute.The hoods will exhaust to an Ambiare Model K17-05 packed bed crossflow scrubber.The scrubber will circulate caustic soda solution at a rate of 15 gallons per minute.The scrubber exhaust will be emitted from a pvc stack with an inside exit area of 1.3 square feet. The exit velocity will be 45 feet per second at 72°F. We would track emissions by keeping records on the amount of acid used in the hoods. Appendix A shows other pertinent information regarding proposed stack height and distance to nearby buildings.The adjacent building down wind of the stack is used for indoor batting cages where children frequent. Please advise us if we require a permit for the above process or if there is the potential for pollutants to enter the adjacent building. It would be greatly appreciated if you could acknowledge that we are compliant with the regulations and do not require a permit.Also any recommendations regarding stack height or other issues would be appreciated.

Primary use of exhaust system is to remove acid fumes,from two 4-foot PVC laboratory hoods.Acid gasses primarily HCL,HNO3,and NOX are produced from the digestion and leachingof samples and Precious metal materials in acid.Acid fumes, which are created,are scrubbed in a horizontal wet scrubber. In addition the same system will be used for the following: g • To draw off odors from process tanks and gold stripping tank which contains cyanide. Odors are completely cyanide free based on past hygienic tests. • To draw off water/vapor from a wastewater evaporator. Materials used in process: Primary Operation(Lab Hoods)-Raw materials used are as follows: • Muriatic Acid • Nitric Acid • Sodium Metabisulfite Other processes(process and strip tanks. • Potassium Cyanide • Techni Strip U • Sodium Hydroxide • Sodium Hypochlorite • Zinc Emissions Particulate=0 Gasses=.006 ppm acid gasses prior to scrubber(daily average) .001 ppm acid gasses after scrubber(daily average) Data based on previous tests. Efficiency of scrubber is 90% Determination of Stack Height Required Because of the dilution factor of make up air along with a high vertical exit velocity, stack height should not be an issue.The following calculation can be used to estimate plume rise. LSH=VsD/u * (1.5 + 2.68*10-3PD*1(Ts-TA)/Ts LH = Plume Rise in Meters VS Stack Exit Velocity in Meters/Second D =Diameter of the stack in Meters u =Wind Velocity in meters/second p = pressure in mb T =temperature. Given the exit velocity is 45 fps or 13.73 mps,the pipe diameter is 16 inches or.41 meters, and assuming that the wind velocity is 2 mps,the air pressure is 1 atm or 1013mb, and there is no temperature change,the rise of the gasses can be figured as follows: Oh=(13.73m/s)*(0.41m)/(2m/s)*(1.5+2.68*1073*1013mb)*(0.41m)*{0� Oh=4.22 meters or 13.83 feet from top of stack.

Blower and Scrubber Location and Structure Refer to site diagrams for general location of ventilation system,including scrubber and blower.The blower and emission stack are located at the right side rear of the building approximately 15 ft from the east side and 105 ft from the front or south side of the building.

Since the rise of the plume is approximately 14 feet(see calculations for Ah)any possible contaminants would clear building 37 by at least 6.5 feet.Contaminants exiting the emission stack are dilute and should pose no.threat to building 37.The majority of the gasses are lighter than.air and would rise. &-. ,kAndover .�A, 0 ONNM Of = A K E dover, Mass., a' CP A;#-03 O� COCMICMEWIC. 7d�oRATED PPG �5 7% 4 BOARD OF HEALTH PER T D Food/Kitchen Septic System BUILDING INSPECTOR THISCERTIFIES THAT........ ...................................................................................................................................................
