DRAFT <br />Manufacturing, packaging and storage of the finished product are <br />conducted inside QBR=s main manufacturing and warehouse building <br />(See Figure 1). There is no direct or indirect exposure of stormwater <br />or surface drainage to QBR=s brake pad manufacturing operations. <br />1.5.1.1.2 Brake Shoe Manufacturing: The brake shoe cores (used, aged <br />and overstocked units) are received at the facility=s covered Receiving <br />Dock (see Figure 1). The cores are then processed through the <br />Friction Division=s Core Washer. <br />The Core Washer is located outside in QBR=s Manufacturing Yard on <br />a bermed and concreted pad. Washwater, and stormwater that has <br />come in contact with the Core Washer, is collected, contained and <br />recycled for re -use through QBR=s Washwater Recycling System, <br />which is staged adjacent to the Core Washer in the site=s <br />Manufacturing Yard. <br />Once the cores have been cleaned, they are inspected and sorted by <br />part number. Accepted cores are stored in QBR=s bermed and <br />concrete -paved Manufacturing Yard in racks either in covered 55 - <br />gallon drums or on pallets until scheduled for assembly and <br />packaging. Scraped cores are stored in cover bins staged outside at <br />QBR=s graveled Equipment Storage Yard (see Figure 1) until shipped <br />offsite for scrap metal recycling. <br />Riveted brake shoe cores are processed through QBR=s <br />Stripper/Knockout operation to remove the existing rivets and friction <br />material. Similarly, the bonded brake shoe cores are processed <br />through QBR=s De -bonding Oven, where the existing bonded friction <br />material is Abaked- off the shoe. Both the Stripper/Knockout <br />operation and the De -Bonding operation take place outside in QBR=s <br />Manufacturing Yard on a bermed and concrete pad. <br />The Stripper/Knockout operation takes place undercover. To control <br />employee exposure to fugitive dusts that may be generated during the <br />stripping/knockout process, the core parts are wetted down with a fine <br />mist prior to being placed into the stripper/knockout equipment. <br />CATENIMMPREV2.doc Section 1-10 <br />
