1.0 OBJECTIVE
Insp. Date: 5/02/23
On May 02, 2023, at the request of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) conducted a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Compliance Sampling Inspection (CSI) at the Hopewell Campus Owners, LLC - Princeton-West Innovative Campus @ Hopewell in Pennington, New Jersey (NJ). The objective of the CSI was to gather information necessary to determine if the Princeton-West Innovative Campus @ Hopewell Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) is in compliance with the requirements and limitations of their NPDES Permit; NJ0000795. The NPDES Permit was effective on January 01, 2020 and will expire on December 31, 2024.

3.0 FACILITY DESCRIPTION
3.1 General Information
Hopewell Campus Owners, LLC (formerly Bristol-Myers Squibb) manages the PrincetonWest Innovative Campus @ Hopewell which is located on 311 Pennington-Rocky Hill Road, Pennington, NJ. Princeton-West Innovative Campus @ Hopewell occupies 180 acres of a 400-acre property. The campus consists of more than 30 buildings that provides biologics research and development, and biologics manufacturing, and office space serving tenants and facility owners. The campus was occupied by Bristol-Myers Squibb until 2019 when it was divested and Hopewell Campus Owners, LLC took ownership. The existing tenants and site occupants on the campus are BeiGene USA, Inc., Gennao Bio, Inc., Passage Bio, PTC Therapeutics, Rocket Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and Trustees of Princeton University.
Princeton-West Innovative Campus @ Hopewell is categorized under Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) 7389 - Business Services, Not Elsewhere Classified (NEC).

3.2 Process Information
Insp. Date: 5/02/23
The campus generates sanitary, pharmaceutical, and industrial waste streams that are treated by the on-site wastewater treatment plant. Sanitary, pharmaceutical, and industrial waste streams are segregated and are introduced into the treatment process at different points in the treatment plant. Industrial wastewater is stored in the industrial equalization (EQ) tanks. Pharmaceutical wastewater is collected in the biologic holding tanks.
Incoming sanitary wastewater is intercepted by the comminutor/grinder. Large matters are grounded up before continuing to the sanitary EQ tank. From the sanitary EQ tank, the wastewater is pumped to the biological EQ tank where pharmaceutical process wastewater is introduced from the biologic holding tanks. Caustic is added to the biological EQ tank for pH adjustment as well as nutrients and urea to aid the activated sludge process in the aeration tank. From the biological EQ tank, the wastewater flows to the junction box where it is mixed with the Return Activated Sludge (RAS) before entering the aeration tank. Ferric chloride is added to the Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids (MLSS) as it exits the aeration tank and settles in the biological clarifier. The effluent from the clarifier overflows the V-notch weirs and flows into the rapid mixing chamber where the industrial process wastewater is introduced. Either hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide and ferric chloride are added into the rapid mixing chamber. The combined wastewater is conveyed into the flocculation tank before settling in the combined clarifier. The overflow from the clarifier is pumped to the Disk Filtration System. The filtrate from the Disk Filtration System is further treated by the Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) System. The effluent is disinfected by the Ultraviolet (UV) System. Once pass the UV System, the effluent is recorded with an in-line magnetic flow meter before discharging into the unnamed tributary to Stony Brook. From the tributary, the treated effluent flows sequentially into two ponds before reaching Stony Brook.
Sludge in the biological clarifier is either wasted to the bio sludge holding tank as Waste Activated Sludge (WAS) or pumped to the aeration tank as RAS. The sludge from the combined clarifier is pumped to the combined sludge holding tank. The backwash from the Disk Filtration and the GAC Systems are pumped to the industrial process wastewater holding tank. The sludge in the bio sludge holding tank and the combined sludge holding tank is trucked to Stony Brook Regional Sewer Authority (SBRSA) for treatment.
In case of high incoming flow to the sanitary EQ tank, the treatment plant has the capability to pump excess wastewater through a dedicated sewer line to SBRSA.
3.3 Facility Self-Monitoring Information
For permit compliance, the plant operator assembles and sets-up the automatic composite sampler at the designated monitoring location to collect 4-hour composite sample. The sampling event is coordinated with the contract laboratory, Eurofins Laboratory in Edison, NJ. The courier transports the sample containers and portable field instrumentations to the
Page 3 of 7
Princeton-West Innovative Campus @ Hopewell, Pennington, NJ 08534 NPDES Permit: NJ0000795
Insp. Date: 5/02/23
WWTP. The 4-hour sampling composite sample is distributed between the individual sample containers. Grab samples are collected from the designated monitoring location.
Furthermore, on-site analytical tests are performed by the courier using portable field instrumentations for pH, temperature, and dissolved oxygen (DO). The collected samples are transported to Eurofins Laboratory for analysis, except for E. Coli. Eurofins Laboratory subcontracted E. Coli to Pace Analytical Services for analysis.
4.0 EPA SAMPLING/INSPECTION ACTIVITIES 4.1 Sampling Activities
Two ISCO automatic composite samplers were programmed to take 16 sample aliquots during the 4-hour sampling event at the designated effluent monitoring location. The 4-hour composite sample was collected and analyzed for 5-Day Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD5), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Ammonia (NH3), Phosphorus, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Nitrate (NO3), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and Metals (arsenic and copper). Direct grab samples were collected for Oil & Grease (O&G) and E. Coli.
In addition, on-site grab samples were collected and analyzed for pH, Temperature and Dissolved Oxygen (DO). Chlorine (TRC) was checked to determine the proper container for collecting E. Coli sample.
All sample containers, preservation techniques and holding times were in accordance with USEPA requirements specified in 40 CFR Part 136. Signed and dated custody seals were placed across the lids and along the sides of the sample containers. The custody sealed sample containers were placed inside plastic sample bags and sealed. All samples were transported on ice to the USEPA Laboratory in Edison, NJ for analysis.
Flow monitoring data were provided by the plant instrumentation that was calibrated on May 24, 2022.
Split samples were collected and given to the facility representative.
4.2 Inspection Activities
An NPDES CSI at the Princeton-West Innovative Campus @ Hopewell WWTP was conducted on May 02, 2023. The inspectors met with Patrick McFarland; Lincoln Equities Group, Bobbie Schwaeble; Lincoln Equities Group Compliance, Chris Martin; U.S. Water Program Manager, John Winterburn; U.S. Water Corp. Licensed Operator, and Alex Kidd; U.S. Water Corp. Operator. Inspector's credential was presented, and business card was provided during the opening conference. It was explained to the representatives that the purpose of the inspection with supporting on-site activities was to determine if the facility is in compliance with their NPDES Permit as well as State and Federal Regulations.
The on-site supporting activities consist of collecting samples at the effluent monitoring location, observing and evaluating the monitoring locations, observing and evaluating the

Insp. Date: 5/02/23
wastewater treatment process, observing the flow monitoring equipment, observing and evaluating the treated effluent and discharged outfall to the unnamed tributary of Stony Brook, review and evaluate sampling and laboratory data for the month of December 2022, and interviewing the facility's representatives.
During the closing conference, the facility representatives were briefed on the inspection activities. On-site sample results and concerns discovered or observed during the inspection were communicated to the facility representatives.
