On,
June
21,
2005,
I
had
a
telephone
conversation
with
Gary
Foote,
the
Environmental
Health
and
Safety
Manager
for
Alliance
One
International.
Alliance
One
International
is
a
new
company
that
was
formed
on
May
13,
2005
as
a
result
of
a
merger
between
Dimon
International
and
Standard
Commercial.

Mr.
Foote
noted
that
prior
to
the
merger
Standard
Commercial
operated
a
stemmery
at
2201
Miller
Road
in
Wilson
and
at
2400
Old
Stantonsburg
Road
in
Wilson.
The
Miller
Road
stemmery
is
now
closed.
Alliance
One
International
now
operates
the
former
Standard
Commercial
facility
at
Old
Stantonsburg
Road
and
the
former
Dimon
facility
in
Farmville.

Mr.
Foote
also
indicated
that
the
Wilson
Facility
and
the
Farmville
facility
are
very
similar,
although
the
Wilson
plant
is
much
larger
as
it
has
three
processing
lines
vs.
two
in
Farmville.
He
indicated
that
the
information
provided
earlier
about
the
Farmville
facility
similarly
applies
to
the
Wilson
facility,
including
the
conclusion
that
little
or
no
wastewater
is
generated
from
their
tobacco
processing
operations.
He
noted
that
these
facilities
both
report
to
TRI.
The
wastewater
discharge
reported
to
TRI
from
both
of
these
facilities
is
from
stormwater.
Unlike
the
Farmville
facility,
the
Wilson
facility
discharges
its
stormwater
to
the
local
POTW.
At
the
Wilson
facility,
Alliance
One
conducts
qualitative
and
quantitative
testing
of
stormwater
outfalls
to
meet
the
requirements
of
their
stormwater
permit.
This
testing
includes
pH,
oil
and
grease,
TSS
and
COD,
as
well
as
the
color,
odor,
clarity
and
any
visible
solids.
