Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NCO004812
Pharr Yarns %VWT'
Gaston County
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit.
Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the
requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North
Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated May 9, 1994 (or as subsequently amended).
This final permit includes following major changes from the draft permit sent to you on November 24, 2004:
• Monthly average limits for BOD, GOD, TSS and sulfide were increased due to the expected increase in
production volume. Daily maximum limits for BOD, GOD, and TSS were reduced due to the changes in
methodology as a response to EPA objections.
This permit 'includes a TRC limit that will take effect on September 1, 2006. If you wish to install
dechlorination equipment, the Division has promulgated a simplified approval process for such projects. Guidance
for approval of dechlorination projects is attached.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable to
you, you have the right to an adjudicatoryhearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of
this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina
General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings (6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North
Carolina 27699-6714). Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.
Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division may require
modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain
other permits which may be required by the Division of Water Quality or permits required by the Division of Land
Resources, the Coastal Area Management Act or any other Federal or Local governmental permit that may be
required. If you have anyquestions concerning this permit, please contact Serge' Chernikov at telephone number

mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 0.62%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum,guarterlu monitoring using test procedures outlined
in the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998,
or subsequent versions or "North Carolina Phase 11 Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure"
(Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months of
January, April, July and October. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the
NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV below
the permit limit, then multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in each of the
two following months as described in "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test
Procedure- (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions.
The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the
highest concentration having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest
concentration that does have a detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of
"detectable impairment," collection methods, exposure regimes, and further statistical methods are
specified in the "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -
February 1998) or subsequent versions.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the
parameter code TGP3B for the pass/fail results and THP313 for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWQ
Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Quality

Test data shall be complete, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and
all concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved
designate signature. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and
reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is
required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT)
test form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of
the report with the notation of -No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be
submitted to the Environmental Sciences Branch at the address cited above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required,
monitoring will be required during the following month.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re
opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum
control organism survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environmental
controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed
no later than the last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring.

Permit NCO004812
A.(5.) TOTAL NITROGEN AND PHOSPHORUS MONITORING
The Permittee shall calculate the annual mass loading of total nitrogen as the sum of
monthly loadings, according to the following equations:
(a) Monthly Mass Loading (lb/mo.) = TN/TP x Q x 8.34
where: TN = the average total nitrogen concentration (mg/L) of the
composite samples collected during the month at
the outfall
TP = The average total phosphorus concentration (mg/L) of
the composite samples collected during the month
at the outfall
Q = the total wastewater flow discharged during the
month at the outfall(MG/mo.)
8.34 = conversion factor, from (mg/L x MG) to pounds
(b) Annual Mass Loading (lb/yr) = Z (Monthly Mass Loadings) for the calendar year
The Permittee shall report the total nitrogen and total phosphorus concentration for
each sample and the monthly mass loading in the appropriate self -monitoring report
and the annual mass loading of total nitrogen and total phosphorus in the December
self -monitoring report for the year.
A (6). Color Permitting Requirements for Tier 1 Facility
This facility has been classified as a Tier 1 color discharger. The permittee will conduct
color monitoring of instream stations (upstream, downstream) on a monthly basis during
summer season (April -October). The permittee will record whether a color plume was
observed around the outfall pipe during the monthly instream sampling events, and
include that information on the monthly discharge monitoring report. Effluent samples will
be collected monthly for color on a year-round basis. Color samples will be analyzed for
ADMI color at natural pH. Effluent samples will consist of 24-hour composites, while
instream samples will be collected as grabs. Samples will be analyzed by a state certified
laboratory.
If data show that water quality standards for color are being violated by the discharge
permitted by the terms of this permit, then the Director may reopen this permit for the
purpose of imposing additional requirements pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H.0114.
Alternatively, if future conditions change and color is no longer a component of the influent
wastestream, then the permittee may request a permit modification to remove color permit
requirements. -

Mike,
I have received your letter with request to consider potential increase
in production. Accordingto your letter, it is expected that production
will increase 30% in 2005 compared to 2004. Production in 2004 was
19,499 lb/day (monthly average). Therefore, 2005 production level will
be 25,348 lb/day. EPA was not willing to accept this number, after
lengthy negotiation I was able to achieve their consensus at the 24,000
lb/day and recalculated permit limits. Attached is the file with the new
limits. Please let me know if these numbers are acceptable. I also had
to change methodology for calculating Daily Max. Limits due to EPA
objections.

Subject: Re: another citation re production based limits calculation
From: Sergei Chernikov <[e-mail]>
Date: Wed, 12 Jan 2005 15:47:34 -0500
To: [e-mail]
Marshall,
I have recalculated the limits based on your recommendation. I also discussed the
possibility of a tiered permit internally. We would like to avoid a tiered permit since
it creates a compliance nightmare. They already have two tiers for 0.5 MGD and 1.0 MGD
flow, if we add another tier for production level we would have to deal with four
different effluent pages.
According to their information, they will be producing 25, 348 lb/day (monthly average)
in 2005. Their production have been steadily increasing over the past few years and the
numbers seems credible to me. My original calculations were based on the number 19,499
lb/day (monthly average). I have recalculated the limits based on your method and
production number of 24,000 lb/day (file is attached). You will see that there is a
very small difference between limits based on 19,499 lb/day and 24,000 lb/day. It can
be attributed to the fact that there is a sizable domestic waste component (73%) in the
total waste stream. I propose that we use limits calculated based on the 24,000 lb/day
production level (spreadsheet attached) to avoid compliance and enforcement
difficulties. This number seems like a good compromise between estimated production
level and current permit limits.

Additional Requested Wastewater Analysis and Production Data
Gaston County
Dear Mr. Chernikov:
Please find attached the subject additional wastewater characteristics analysis which includes all of
the metals listed from page 3 of form 2-C and the current production data through December 3.
2004.
As you can see from the production data, our yam production has increased this year and is
expected to continue at or above the present rate. New customers and additional programs with the
existing customer base have enabled us to produce more pounds of yarn per day and expected to
continue for the foreseeable future. We would like for you to consider the additional production
volume as the basis for the pennitted effluent characteristics limits.
The previous three years and anticipated production volume is as follows:
• 2002 total production pounds = 3,583,423. Maximum daily pounds = 30,010
• 2003 total production pounds = 4,056,440. Maximum daily pounds = 31,972
• 2004 production through December 3`d = 4,942,384 pounds. Maximum daily
pounds= 36,200
• 2005 production is expected to increase thirty percent more than the previous year with a Cy
u�►
maximum daily potential production rate of 47 500 pounds per day fir--L19 u A i "

BACKGROUND
Pharr Yarns, Inc. W WTP treats industrial waste created at the McAdenville facility as well as domestic
waste from three Pharr Yarns plants (including the McAdenville plant). The domestic waste from the
three Pharr Yams plants constitutes the majority (73%) of the waste stream, the remainder is process
wastewater from the yam dying that occurs at the McAdenville plant.
As a discharger to the South Fork Catawba River, the facility is subject to the nutrient limits and special
monitoring requirements pertaining to color in an effort to improve water quality in that receiving stream.
TECHNOLOGY BASED EFFLUENT LIMIT DEVELOPMENT
Reasonable measure of actual production for the facility was established based on the EPA policy. Daily
maximum — 36,200 lbs/day, monthly average = 19,499 lbslday (22 working days/month).
BOD5, COD, and TSS are based on effluent guidelines (40 CFR 410.70 Subpart G Stock and Yarn
Finishing Subcategory) and have been recalculated to reflect the most current data available (See
attached spreadsheet). COD allocation for domestic wastewater component was calculated using the
formula 2.2 X BOD. The 2.2 multiplier was established during the previous permit renewal using site -
specific factors and Best Professional Judgment.
The results of these calculations are slightly different than the limits in the current permit. Since the
facility has no plans to expand production in the foreseeable future (per the facility), it is recommended
that the new limits be implemented.
TOXICITY TESTING
Current Requirement: Quarterly Chronic Toxicity @ 0.62%/l2% JAN, APR, JUL, OCT
Recommended Requirement: Quarterly Chronic Toxicity @ 0.62%/1.2% JAN, APR, JUL, OCT. The
facility has been consistently passing its WET tests.

COMPLIANCE SUMMARY
DMRs have been reviewed for the period January 2001 through September 2004. Facility has a positive
compliance record. During the review period, the following NOVs (notices of violation) have been
issued: 7/27/04 — BOD, 717/04 — BOD, 6/18/04 — BOD, 5/15/03 — TSS and Cr, 11/13/02 — fecal
coliforms.
A compliance evaluation inspection conducted on September 14, 2004 determined that the facility is in
compliance.
INSTREAM MONITORING
The facility is required to conduct self -monitoring of the South Fork Catawba River at one location
upstream of the discharge and one location downstream of the discharge. The instream self -monitoring
includes: fecal coliform, temperature, conductivity, color and dissolved oxygen.
An analysis of DO, temperature and conductivity for the past year showed that the facility have
negligible negative impact on the stream water (table is attached).
REASONABLE POTENTIAL ANALYSIS
Reasonable potential analysis was conducted for Sulfides, Chromium and Phenols at 0.5 MGD
and 1.0 MGD. Based on RPA a monthly average limit for sulfides of 1.36 lb/day is
recommended (1.0 MGD). Federal criterion for sulfides was used in RPA. However, effluent
guidelines limit for sulfides is more stringent and will be applied.
PROPOSED CHANGES
• Monitoring Frequencies: No changes are proposed.
Limits: TRC limit was added to the permit. Based on the application data, calculations were
conducted in accordance with federal guidelines (see attached). Based on the calculation results,
limits were changed for BOD, COD, sulfide and TSS.
STATE CONTACT
If you have any questions on any of the above information or on the attached permit, please contact
Sergei Chernikov at [phone] ext. 594.
CHANGES IN THE FINAL PERMIT:
Pharr Yarns has requested an adjustment to the permit limits due to the expected 30% increase in
production. EPA has objected to the method for calculating daily max. limits. New limits have been
calculated using a consensus production number (24,000 lb/day monthly average) and a methodology
suggested by EPA (monthly average production number was used to calculate both monthly average and
daily max. limits).
