Dear Permittee:
Our files indicate that the subject permit issued on 2/26/96 expires on 12/31/98. We have not
received a request for renewal from you as of this date.
A renewal request shall consist of a letter asking for permit renewal, the appropriate permit
application processing fee, and four (4) copies of a completed application. For permitted facilities with
treatment works, a narrative description of the residuals management plan, which is in effect at the
permitted facility, must also be submitted with the renewal application. Applications may be returned to
the applicant if not accompanied by the processing fee or are incomplete.
Please find attached a copy of the processing fee schedule, as found in 15 NCAC 2H .0205(c).
The processing fee for your facility is based on the type of facility and/or the permitted flow. Processing
fees for land application of residuals are based on the total acres of land permitted. The processing fee
does not apply to any farmer who submits an application which pertains to his/her farming operation.
The check or money order should be made payable to the North Carolina Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (DENR).
The Environmental Management Commission adopted rules on October 1, 1990, requiring the
payment of an annual fee for most permitted facilities. You will be billed separately for that fee (if
applicable) after your permit is approved.

Please be advised that this permit must not be allowed to expire. You must submit the renewal
request at least 180 days prior to the permit's expiration date, as required by the 15 NCAC 2H .0211.
Renewal requests received less than 180 days prior to permit expiration will be required to pay the full
NEW APPLICATIONS/ MODIFICATION/ LATE RENEWALS fee rather than the reduced TIMELY
RENEWALS WITHOUT MODIFICATIONS fee. Failure to request a renewal at least 180 days prior
to the permit expiration date and/or operation of a facility without a valid permit may result in the
assessment of civil penalties. NCGS 143-215.6 allows for the assessment of Civil penalties up to
$10,000 per violation per day.
The letter requesting renewal, along with the completed Non-discharge Permit Application and
the appropriate processing fee, must be sent to:

Moore, L.L.P. on your behalf and the subsequent DRAFT permit issued September 14, 1995 and
accepted by the Miller Brewing Company, and in conformity with the project plan, specifications, and
other supporting data subsequently filed and approved by the Department of Environment, Health and
Natural Resources and considered a part of this permit.

may be rescinded unless the sites are maintained and operated in a manner which will
protect the assigned water quality standards of the surface waters and ground waters.
2. The land application program shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non-
discharge system to prevent the discharge of any wastes resulting from the operation of this
program.
3. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for damages
to surface or groundwaters resulting from the operation of this program.
4. In the event that the land application program is not operated satisfactorily, including the
creation of nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall cease applying residuals to the sites and
take any immediate corrective actions as may be required by the Division.

5. Some of the buffers specified below may not have been included in previous permits for
this land application operation. However, any sites or fields that are included in this
permit, but were approved with different applicable buffers shall be reflagged to comply
with the below buffers. The following buffer zones shall be maintained:
a) 400 feet from residences or places of public assembly under separate ownership for
surface application method; however, the buffer zone requirement may be reduced to a
minimum of 100 feet upon written consent of the owner and approval from the
appropriate DEM regional office,
b) 200 feet from residences or places of public assembly under separate ownership for
subsurface residual injection method; however, the buffer zone requirement may be
reduced to a minimum of 100 feet upon written consent of the owner and the
appropriate DEM regional office,
c) 100 feet from any public or private water supply source, waters classified as SA or SB,
and any Class I or Class II impounded reservoir used as a source of drinking water for
both methods,
d) 100 feet from any streams classified as WS or B, any other stream, canal, marsh or
coastal waters and any other lake or impoundment for surface application,
e) 50 feet from any streams classified as WS or B, any other stream, canal, marsh or
coastal waters and any other lake or impoundment for subsurface application,
f) 100 feet from property lines for both surface and subsurface application methods;

h) 10 feet from upslope interceptor drains and surface water diversions for both
application methods,
i) 25 feet from downslope interceptor drains, surface water diversions, groundwater
drainage systems and surface drainage ditches for both application methods.
6. A copy of this permit shall be maintained at the land application site when residuals are
being applied during the life of this permit. A spill prevention and control plan shall be
maintained in all residuals transport and application vehicles. This plan shall be written
such that a vehicle driver may reference how to prevent or clean up any residual spills.
8. Specific residual application area boundaries shall be clearly marked on each site prior to
and during application.
9. No residuals at any time shall be stored at any application site, unless approval has been
requested and obtained from the Division of Environmental Management.
10. Maximum slope for residual application shall be 10% for surface application and 18% for
subsurface applications.
II. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
1. The facilities and application sites shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.
2. A suitable vegetative cover, as listed in condition II 4, shall be maintained in accordance
with the crop management plan outlined by the local Extension Office of the Department of
Agriculture, or the Soil Conservation Service, or other agronomist, and approved by this
Division.

NON DISCHARGE STAFF REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
County Rockingham
Permit No. WQ0001348
PART I - GENERAL INFORMATION
1. Facility and Address: Miller Brewing Company
863 East Meadow Road
Eden, N.C. 27288
2 . Date of Investigation: October 20, 1993
3 . Report Prepared by: David Russell, WSRO
4 . Persons Contacted and Telephone Number: Becky SHeppard,
Environmental Coordinator (919) 627-2353
5. Directions to Site: The Miller Brewing facility is located
on the northeast corner of N.C. Hwy 770 (Meadow Road) and
NCSR 1733 . This is 1/4 mile east on the N.C. Hwy 14
Junction with NC Hwy 770 in Eden.
Attach a U. S.G. S. map extract and indicate facility site.
U. S.G. S. Quad No. A20SW U. S.G. S. Quad Name Northeast Eden
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The Miller Brewing Company holds NPDES Permit NO. NC0029980
for the discharge of 5. 2 MGD of industrial wastewater into the
Dan River, Class "C" waters.

• Non-discharge Permit No. WQ0001348 is for the land
application of diatomaceous earth slurry from the Eden Brewery.
The spent diatomaceous earth is normally dewatered and then
disposed of in the Rockingham County landfill. Since there is no
backup system for dewatering, Miller Brewing Company keeps this
permit current should land application become necessary due to
equipment or operational problems. There has been no occasion to
land apply the slurry since 1978. The Company has approval to
land apply the diatomaceous earth sludge on approximately 150
acres of the Circle S. Ranch owned by Mr. Sam W. Smith, Jr.
The diatomaceous earth is used to filter yeast and grain
hulls out of the beer after the fermentation process. The
diatomaceous earth is contained in pressure centrifuge filters
that filter the beer. After a certain number of cycles the
diatomaceous earth is dewatered in a low pressure plate press.
It is estimated that approximately 20 yards of the material is
taken to the landfill each week. It should be noted that the
diatomaceous earth is a by product of the brewery process and is
not generated at the WWTP. Miller Brewery holds Non-discharge
Permit No. WQ0001347 for disposal of their WWTP sludge.
WSRO recommends reissuance of Non-discharge Permit No.
WQ000134.8 to Miller Brewing Company for land application of the
diatomaceous earth slurry.

Re : Miller Brewing Company MAR 2 1 1989
Eden, North Carolina WATER QUALITY
Non-Discharge Permit #4653 Winston-Salem 1 SECTION
Dear Mr. Wilms : Regional Office..
. This is in reference to Permit #4653 issued to Miller
Brewing Company ( "Miller" ) for the application of diatomaceous
earth slurry from the Eden Brewery to certain land in
Rockingham County. A copy of the most recent renewal of the
permit is enclosed for your convenient reference.
The normal procedures in place at the Eden Brewery for
handling spent diatomaceous earth is to dewater the
diatomaceous earth and transport the material to the Rockingham
County Landfill. Since there are no backup systems for
dewatering, it is necessary to make arrangements for the
disposal of diatomaceous earth in the event of equipment
outages and for other such operational problems . This permit
has served as the back-up or standby alternative for disposal
of the diatomaceous slurry in the event of such contingencies.
To my knowledge, there has been no occasion to land apply the
slurry since 1978 .
However, the operational needs for standby arrangements
continue at the brewery. Therefore, on behalf of Miller, we
hereby -retest- �t4e, renewal of Permit #4653 for the back-up or
St ibraisposal of diatomaceous earth upon the land of Sam W.
