Dear Mr. Durham:
Thank you for taking the time to compose a detailed response to the Notice of Violation and
Recommendation for Enforcement dated February 27, 2015. Your response was received on March 30, 2015.
Your demonstrated willingness to make the changes necessary to bring Burlington Technologies'
Williamsburg Plant (aka `se7en') into compliance is very much appreciated. The Division does not plan on
pursuing any further action at this time. Please understand however, that this was not an easy decision. Your
ability to demonstrate and maintain the improvements you promise going forward will be essential for
justifying our decision. Expect an unannounced inspection at any time in the future, with increased scrutiny
of the following areas in particular:
• Proper use of approved chemicals and/or treatment systems at outfalls 002 and 003.
• Up-to-date and accurate record of visitation, operations and maintenance, as performed by the ORC and
plant staff.
• Proper operations and maintenance, as evidenced by the conditions of the wastewater treatment plant
and the outfalls.
• Proof of written communication between Burlington Technologies — Williamsburg Plant and the
operator when improvements are needed/requested .
Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact me at [phone] or at
Sherri. [e-mail].

Subject: Request for Permit Modification
NPDES Permit NC0001384
Burlington Technologies/Williamsburg
Caswell County
Dear Mr. Durham:
The Division received a request for permit modification on January 30, 2015 from your consultant
Leonhardt Environmental. This request is to add a new process wastewater discharge of
approximately 100 gallons per day to be discharged along with the current domestic wastewater
discharge via Outfall 001. After reviewing this request, the Division is unable to support this permit
modification for the following reasons:
1. Outfall 001 discharges treated domestic wastewater to an unnamed tributary to Buttermilk
Creek, which is classified as a water supply waterbody (WSII-NSW, HQW). For waters
classified as WS-II, new domestic and industrial discharges of treated wastewater are not
allowed in the entire watershed in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0214(2).
2. The NPDES Compliance Evaluation inspection conducted for this facility on 1/7/2015
indicated continuing problems with the plant's operations, maintenance, and compliance
with permit conditions.
If you would like to discuss this decision by the Division, feel free to contact me at 919-807-6390 or
via email at tom.belnickgncdenr.gov.

Response to NOV-2015-PC-0030
300 N. Greene Street
Suite 1400
Greensboro, NC 27401
I am writing on behalf of my client Burlington Technologies, Inc. (BTI) in connection with a Notice of
Violation and Recommendation for Enforcement dated February 25, 2015. Due to weather issues, the
Notice of Violation (NOV) was actually received by BTI on March 3, 2015, although an effort was made
to deliver on February 28, 2015. The NOV and Recommendation for Enforcement arise out of a January
7, 2015 inspection of the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) located at BTI's Williamsburg facility
(also referred to as Se7en, LLC).
Before addressing the specific issues raised in the NOV individually, BTI wants to emphasize that it is
taking and will continue to take any and all steps required to bring the WWTP into full compliance. As
you will see throughout the responses below, significant action is underway and processes and procedures
are being put in place to ensure that the WWTP meets and continues to maintain compliance.
Throughout the inspection, Jenifer Carter of your office was accompanied by Marc Nault, who is an
employee of Meritech, Inc. BTI currently contracts with Meritech to operate the WWTP at the
Williamsburg facility and Mr. Nault is the designated Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC). Although
BTI recognizes that it is ultimately responsible for the compliance of its facility, BTI relies on Meritech
for its expertise and performance of the contracted ORC responsibilities. Some of the information
contained in this report was obtained from Mr. Nault, who handles the day to day operation of the
WWTP, and others at Meritech. BTI is committed to environmental protection and full compliance with
its NPDES permit and North Carolina laws and regulations, and acknowledges its error in failing to
oversee the contracted ORC adequately and counting on the ORC to maintain compliance. In addition to
taking steps to remedy any non-compliance concerns, the company will closely monitor and evaluate its
relationship with Meritech or any other third party vendor supplying ORC services as it continues to
strive for consistent compliance.

For ease of reference, this response will follow the numbered items listed at the bottom of page 4 of your
February 25 letter.
1) Please submit Plans for approval of a dechlorination system to be installed at or along the
discharge pipe to outfall 002.
Response: Cascade, a water systems company, has supplied chemicals to treat the plant's
discharges in the past. While plant maintenance personnel have attempted to manage both the
needed chemicals for dechlorination and the apparatus to disperse such chemicals, BTI realizes
that its employees do not have the required expertise, and an internal decision has been made to
contract with Cascade or another appropriate vendor to provide these services and
recommendations going forward. BTI will rely on Cascade or another water systems company
for recommendations of pre -approved chemicals and systems and for an implementation plan of
such recommendations once the chemicals are approved by the State. These approved
recommendations for dechlorination will be implemented for any and all flows going into outfalls
001, 002 & 003. BTI has been having discussions with Cascade regarding this decision, and a
preliminary meeting was held on March 27, 2015 to allow Cascade to present its findings and
recommendations to BTI personnel. BTI also has talked with and plans to engage Bensinger &
Garrison to review the Cascade recommendations and to provide any additional
recommendations. The critical nature of these chemical applications, the repercussions of any
non-compliance, and the lack of full-time qualified in-house personnel makes it necessary to
contract these services going forward. However, BTI will closely monitor the work done by
Cascade and/or Bensinger and Garrison and document that the terms of BTI's NPDES permit and
its contract with the vendor are met. BTI expects to present an action plan based on the vendor's
recommendations to the State no later than April 10, 2015 for approval.
2) If any biocides and/or chemicals are to be used in the Cooling Tower that will be present in the
discharge at outfall 003, prior approval must be obtained from the Division.
Response: Biocides are not currently being used and were not in use at the time of the inspection
in January 2015. All biocides have been removed from the premises, and no biocides will be
present on the premises until BTI receives approval from your office.
The biocides that were questioned by the inspector during the 2014 inspection were supplied by
outside companies and were being used at the plant when BTI took over ownership and operation
of the facility. BTI did not understand that they had not been previously approved and believed
them to be appropriate based on their historical use. Following receipt of the 2014 inspection
report questioning whether or not the biocides were appropriate, BTI mistakenly understood that
the need to conduct toxicity testing was the concern. BTI employees made multiple unsuccessful
attempts to complete the worksheets that get loaded into the State's on-line toxicity pass/fail
algorithm. When employees were not able to satisfactorily complete the forms, BTI brought in
both Meritech and Cascade to help in filling out the worksheets appropriately. Once the

Ms. Sherri V. Knight
March 27, 2015
Page 3
worksheets were completed and loaded into the State's on-line system, it was BTI's
understanding that one of the biocides, Cascade's A102, failed toxicity. BTI received this
information on July 9, 2014. While it appears that BTI utilized biocides during the summer of
2014, following the July 9 receipt of the toxicity finding, A102 was immediately replaced with
Cascade's S I OOL. This change was made based on a recommendation made jointly by Meritech
and Cascade. An SOP specifying the new biocide and quantity to be used was created on July 9.
While BTI was definitely not complacent in its actions and believed that it was taking the proper
action, the company clearly had a misunderstanding and there was a failure to get prior approval
from the State. BTI now understands the specific requirements of the NPDES permit and
recognizes that they were not in compliance. The plant chiller operator's recollection is that the
chiller ran through the summer using the new biocide, and was then shut down. The chiller has
not run since that time. Although a plan was not in place at that time for dechlorination of the
discharge to outfall 003, the chiller operator did monitor chlorine during the early use of STOOL,
which revealed that chlorine levels leveled out at or below .05 mg/liter, which is well below the
facility's drinking water standard. No biocides, including the S I OOL, will be used by BTI during
the Chiller/Cooling Tower operation until the biocides and their method of application are pre -
approved by the State. Cascade or another firm will provide their recommendations for biocides
and the method of dispersing any such biocides that could impact outfalls 001, 002 or 003, which
will be presented to the State for formal approval before implementation (see action plan
identified in response # 1 above).
3) Please discuss plans to address the following:
a. Failure to visit the plant at the frequency required by the ORC
Response: BTI has a service agreement with Meritech that provides that the Meritech
ORC will visit the WWTP each weekday (excluding holidays) as required by NPDES
Permit No. NC0001384. While BTI recognizes that it is ultimately responsible for
compliance with the permit, the company of necessity must rely on Meritech for some of
the information surrounding the issues raised in the NOV.
We are informed by Meritech that Marc Nault, the ORC, does generally visit the WWTP
daily and that David Merritt serves as the backup ORC. It is our understanding that while
information was not recorded correctly in the records, specifically for December 10,
2014, either Mr. Nault or Mr. Merritt visited the WWTP each weekday during the
referenced period except for the Christmas holiday. Although Meritech has suggested
that weekday visits that are missed due to sickness or weather, etc. can be made up on a
weekend day, BTI will emphasize to its contracted ORC company the need to have
sufficient backups in place to ensure that an authorized person visits the WWTP as
required.

Ms. Sherri V. Knight
March 27, 2015
Page 4
BTI has started and will commit to ongoing weekly visits to the WWTP by the plant
engineer. This visit will coincide with one of the ORC's visits to the WWTP each week
and will be documented. BTI is also working on a checklist that will identify the issues
to be evaluated during the visits and assign responsibility for the various NPDES permit
and maintenance requirements. The visit will ensure that BTI maintains eyes on the
WWTP and is able to identify and address any concerns on a timely basis. This should
help to ensure that the WWTP is operated and maintained as required by the permit and
laws/regulations, but also provide the opportunity for real time repairs and maintenance
that may be needed. BTI has also confirmed with Meritech that there are two certified
ORCs within Meritech in addition to Mr. Nault, and that those individuals will be
available as backup ORCs. BTI will ensure that any vendor that provides ORC services
in the future has sufficient backup capability.
b. Failure to property operate and maintain the plant
Response: Communication appears to be a significant source of these concerns. BTI
realizes now that it relied too heavily on its service provider to communicate about
maintenance needs at the WWTP. Routine oversight by BTI has already been
implemented. We are informed by Meritech that there has been a historic
misunderstanding with BTI personnel regarding the water pressure to the WWTP. The
NOV was BTI's first knowledge of this issue. To the extent that turning certain pumps
on for the ORC's site visit can improve the operation of the WWTP, BTI commits to take
this action and will coordinate with its contracted ORC to ensure that there is adequate
communication on this issue.
BTI management personnel inspected the WWTP following receipt of the NOV and now
understand that things were in disarray. Although BTI understood that the ORC would
inform BTI of needed maintenance, the company will be proactive about these issues and
is already moving forward with several cleanup projects that should address multiple
issues. A list of the action steps with the targeted completion date of each step, along
with some before and after pictures, is shown on Attachment 1. The noted skimmer
issues were attributed to a loose hose clamp, the lack of adequate cleaning of the skimmer
by the ORC on a regular basis, and improper trash being flushed in the potable water
system. The issue of improper disposal through restroom discharges was addressed by
our plant superintendent with employees on March 151h & 16'h. The loose hose clamp
was repaired on March 13, 2015. The weekly BTI visit and meeting with the ORC
described above will help to ensure that all maintenance issues are identified and
addressed in a timely fashion.
In addition to the items listed on Attachment 1, some other specific steps have been taken
since the inspection. The WWTP was seeded with activated sludge that was delivered
from Jenkins Waste Management on February 19, 2015. A good mixed liquor and

Ms. Sherri V. Knight
March 27, 2015
Page 5
volatile suspended solids has been reestablished within the aeration basin. Also, as
regular communication and meetings are established, BTI personnel can be more aware
of when grass within the WWTP fenced area needs to be mowed and when weeds need to
be pulled. If this work is done on a more consistent basis, it will improve the appearance
of the WWTP and also prevent large clumps of grass from collecting around the WWTP
or blowing into the basin.
The contracted ORC has committed to maintain adequate amounts of appropriate
chemicals at the WWTP and to inform the plant maintenance manager if supplies run
"low" rather than waiting until supplies are "out." BTI's weekly inspections will also
ensure maintenance of a proper supply level. The ORC will keep daily records of the
amounts of the products used and will keep documentation of this information as well as
other daily operational parameters available at the WWTP. Again, the weekly BTI
meeting with the ORC will ensure that this process is followed and that required
chemicals are maintained in adequate amounts on site.
Finally, the contracted ORC has committed to better document communication with BTI
personnel, either through notation of verbal communication or with copies of electronic
communication, and BTI will insist on the creation and maintenance of this
communication. Maintenance issues also will be addressed in the log book and
completion of tasks will be noted.
c. Failure to keep adequate, and accurate, records (calibrations, operations, PM, etc.)
Response: BTI and its ORC commit to adequately and accurately keep all required
records and to have these records available at the WWTP at all times. Although we
understand from Meritech that the ORC believed that only certain records were requested
by the inspector, regardless of what an inspector specifically mentions as needed for the
inspection, those records will be maintained and available during an inspection. BTI will
check all logs and other documentation during the weekly visit to ensure that proper
records are created and maintained.
d. Failure to monitor/sample as required
Response: BTI has re-emphasized to its contracted ORC that the required samples must
be taken and that the required monitoring must be conducted and documented. To assist
in this effort, BTI is working to better clear the sampling and monitoring locations and
has installed new signage (replacing existing, but worn signage) to make these locations
clear. BTI understands that the ORC has been conducting the required sampling and
monitoring regularly since the inspection and that the ORC will report and note "no
discharge," but only when such notation is clearly appropriate. The unnamed tributary

Ms. Sherri V. Knight
March 27, 2015
Page 6
will continue to be monitored in the required locations on a weekly basis. The required
sampling and monitoring will be confirmed in the weekly meetings discussed above.
e. Lack of communication between the ORC and owner of the facility
Response: Meritech has committed to communicate as needed using e-mail to the
appropriate BTI personnel. Please see the discussion above of the weekly BTI visit and
meeting with the ORC. This weekly meeting will enhance the communication efforts to
which Meritech has committed. Appropriate logs will be maintained and all
communications will be documented. Although BTI understood that BTI employees
would be informed by the ORC when actions by BTI were needed, the company
understands that its failure to be more proactive contributed to the lack of
communication. The weekly visits have already been implemented and BTI will closely
monitor its responsibilities.
4) Discuss how the above items (a-e) will be prevented from occurring again in the future.
Response: Please see the individual responses to items (a-e).
As you can see from the discussion above, BTI has assumed responsibility for its failure to more closely
monitor the activity of its contracted ORC and to properly maintain the WWTP. BTI has taken
immediate and affirmative action to bring the WWTP into compliance and will continue in these
endeavors. The company has spent or committed to spend in excess of $15,000 to address the various
maintenance and upkeep issues raised in the NOV and will continue to be diligent in bringing the WWTP
into compliance. As Attachment 1 and other information in this letter indicate, BTI is working diligently
to both achieve compliance and improve the appearance and maintenance of the WWTP. BTI requests
that DENR take these actions into account in considering enforcement and that BTI be allowed to use its
financial resources to achieve and maintain consistent compliance.
I look forward to hearing from you. With best regards, I am
Very truly yours,
Smith Moore Leatherwood LLP

3) a. Failure to visit the plant at the frequency required by the ORC
ORC will develop better communications with backup ORC's and properly communicate with them when they
are needed to backup ORC. If neither ORC or Backup ORC is not able to make a site visit, then proper
explanation will be given in writing and annotated on the DMR.
Also if needed, a site visit will be made on Sunday if there is an anticipation of a weekday needing to be filled
in for that week where neither the ORC or backup ORC can make site visit on that anticipated day.
Likewise if unforeseen circumstances occur where the plant visit is missed during a weekday, Saturday will be
used as a makeup day for that week.
b. Failure of to properly operate and maintain the plant
Potable water pressure is being addressed at the wastewater treatment plant. it has recently been discovered
that no water pressure is due towards a well pump being down. A plumber has been called to check out the well
pump and electrical system for the well in question pertaining to water pressure. Good water pressure will be
the most valuable keys to maintaining the appearance and quality of treatment at the waste water plant.
Up to date March 24: it was found out with information from the engineer of Burlington technologies
recently,the other wells have to be turned on by hand with water going to tower and with some of the water
diverted with a valve to the wastewater treatment plant. Orc or backup Orc will call ahead of time before arrival
to waste water treatment facility to have water turned on. If there is any problems with operating water system
or wastewater plant the Orc now has direct contact with the engineer of Burlington technologies, and will share
this phone number with both back up Orc's. Dog food will be kept in storage house at wastewater treatment
plant and plant maintenance manager will be notified when chemicals or dog food is needed at wastewater
facility via email. if a problem arises and no dog food is provided to the O, the O will purchase the dog food
himself and this will be done with his own funds for reimbursement later. Daily records will be kept of the exact
amounts of chlorine tablets, biomass tablets, soda ash and dog food that are used at wastewater facility daily. A
proper Process Control Sheet, DMR, Calibration sheets will all be kept at said facility with amounts of all
chemicals used and amounts of wasting, sludge depth, etc. Also a proper field sheet will be left at facility with
all required field parameters prevalent for that day and week.
also up to date March 24th: the one single diffuser in the aeration basin has been replaced and four additional
stainless steel aeration diffusers that were totally inoperable were replaced also.
Skimmer has has not been addressed up to date and client will be emailed.
c.Failure to keep adequate, and

accurate, records (calibrations, operations, PM, etc)
As previouly discussed in part c., all proper field sheets with data etc, will all be posted by Orc with all field
parameters for the day and week. He will adamantly demand that all logbooks from this point forward will be
left at facility so that detailed comments or annotations can be made by ORC or backup ORC at any given point
in time in reference to any concerns or operational issues dealing with waste water facility.
d. failure to monitor / sample as required
Wastewater treatment plant has been taken off long duration timers so as to create a consistent effluent flow.
This will prevent surges and non discharges from occurring on a timed schedule. ORC has been taking samples
at regular basis as of January this year, but also will continue to report no discharge when appropriate. Unnamed
tributary has and will continually be monitored on a weekly basis.
e. Lack of communication between Orc an owner of the facility Communications between the ORC and the
facilities manager and engineer will be done via email and also a email will be sent to David Merritt @
Meritech Inc. so as to have a record of correspondence with all concerned. Sending emails directly to clients
sometimes will have to be approved by the president of Meritech David Merritt. ORC and facility maintenance

Caswell County
Dear Mr. Durham:
Jenifer Carter of this office performed a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the wastewater treatment
facility located at Burlington Industries' weaving and dying facility in Caswell County on Wednesday,
January 7, 2015. Marc Nault, Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC), was present for the inspection. The
following is a summary of the findings from the inspection:
Record Keeping
Operations, maintenance and visitation logs were requested during the inspection. The following was
provided:
➢ A spiral maintenance to bg ook, stored in a shed at the plant. Mr. Nault stated that there is an agreement
with Joey Jordon (of se7en) to perform maintenance at the plant. The book showed what appeared to be
monthly preventative maintenance records, with the last entry noted on June 14, 2014, almost 7 months
prior to the inspection. (photos 1 and 2)
➢ A bound visitation logbook. December 2014 and January 2015 records had entries for each day. Dates,
time of arrival on site, and the notation 'OP/CK' each day, were the only items written in the logbook.
The ORCs initials and duration of visit were not noted anywhere, though duration is noted on the
corresponding Discharge Monitoring Report (DMRs). Mr. Nault clarified that he, and not a back-up
operator, had visited the site each day as noted in December, and January, having only taken time off for
the Christmas Holiday. (photos 3, 4 & 5)
Our database shows that Mr. Nault attended a continuing education class titled 'Customer Service for
Water & Wastewater Utilities on December 10, 2014 at 8:30 a.m., in Hickory, NC. Mr. Nault's presence
at the class, which ended at 4:00 p.m, was verified and witnessed by NC DENR staff. The visitation log
and the December DMR both indicate that Mr. Nault visited se7en at 12:10 p.m. on December 10, 2015,
while he was in class. (screen capture 1)

➢ Outfall 001: Mr. Nault said he has not been sampling outfall 001 because there is `usually just a trickle'.
There was more than a trickle during the inspection, which Mr. Nault said was unusual and possibly due
to the time of day.
1. He said he didn't normally visit during that time of day, but Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs)
indicate otherwise.
2. Even if there is only a `trickle', Mr. Nault agreed that it takes very little volume to measure field
parameters, which is the only requirement on most days. On days when other samples need to be
pulled, it may take several more minutes to collect a large enough sample, but an attempt should be
made. Mr. Nault agreed and said he would begin sampling `next week'.
3. It was suggested during the inspection that Mr. Nault pull samples since there was a discharge, but he
said he didn't have what he needed to sample with him.
➢ Outfall 002: Mr. Nault said he had not been sampling 002 because he didn't believe it to be a
representative discharge since it is 'just creek water', even though:
1. The permit defines the discharge as being made up partly of storm water, and
2. Mr. Nault has been placing dechlorination tablets to combat an unknown source of chlorine at the
discharge, which suggests that he understands the discharge to be more than creek water.
Last year's inspection report, dated January 15, 2014 required that se7en investigate the source of chlorine
at outfall 002 prior to the next inspection. This has not been done. Mr. Nault stated the placement of
dechlorination tablets at the outfall to neutralize the chlorine is not sufficient since they get washed away
during rain events. He said he had not notified the owner in writing of the need for a modification.
➢ Outfall 003: Last year's inspection revealed the unauthorized use of biocides and other chemicals in the
flow stream leading to this discharge. Biocide worksheets were submitted to our Aquatic Toxicity Unit,
and the biocide failed the test. Joey Jordan, of se7en, stated on 4/29/2014 that se7en would consider a
chlorine/dechlorination system, 'nothing physical, just adding the chemicals' to the discharge stream. He
was told to submit plans in writing prior to utilizing any new chemicals. This has not been done yet.
Upstream/Downstream Sampling
There is data on the DMRs, but no bench sheets were provided to verify the validity, meter calibrations, etc.
as recommended in last year's inspection report. There is data recorded on the December DMR, signed by
Mr. Nault, at times and a day (12:15 p.m. upstream and 12:20 p.m. downstream on 12/10/2014) when Mr.
Nault was known to be in a class.
Aeration Basin
This plant is chronically underfed and therefore lacking the ideal nutrient load for the most effective
treatment. As is common practice, Mr. Nault `feeds' the system dog food periodically to address the lack of
nutrients, though he could not recall the last time he put dog food in the plant, and said he forgot to notate
the last time he did so in his logbook when asked to provide record of it.

Secondary Clarifier
➢ The majority of the clarifier was covered with solids, due in part to a blocked return. It is not uncommon
to battle floating solids in underfed plants, though Mr. Nault could not recall the last time he measured
sludge in the clarifier, stating that it was 'a long time ago', but he was confident that there was `nothing in
there'.
➢ The weir trough was covered in duckweed. Mr. Nault said it wasn't that bad `the last time he was there',
at which time he was reminded that he had supposedly been there the day before. He then said there was
not enough water pressure to be able to clean out the trough effectively (with a hose). With the
dimensions of the trough being approximately 10 feet x 1 foot, at ground level, it should be easy to
remove and/or control the duckweed by hand or with a rake, especially if done regularly.
Chlorination and Dechlorination
There were no chlorine or dechlorination tablets in the chlorinator or dechlorinator. Mr. Nault explained that
they had `just run out'.
Accordingly, the January 7, 2015 inspection and file reviews reveal the ORC and/or facility to be in
violation of the following North Carolina Administrative Code and NPDES permit (NC0001384)
conditions:

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
The following comments are in addition to what is detailed throughout the following pages of this report:
RECORD KEEPING:
A maintenance log book was provided, having been stored in the shed at the plant. When Mr. Nault
handed it to me, he said that Joey Jordon performs maintenance at the plant. The book showed what
appeared to be monthly preventative maintenance records, with the last entry noted on June 14, 2014,
over 6 months prior to the inspection. No other maintenance records were provided (i.e. addition of dog
food, QA/QC, meter calibration records, clearing of weir trough, addition of chlor/dechlor tablets, etc.)
A bound visitation log was provided for review. December 2014 and January 2015 records appeared up
to date. Dates and 'time arrived on site' plus 'OP/CK' next to each day were the only items noted. The
ORCs initials and duration of visit were not notated anywhere. Mr. Nault was asked to clarify that he
himself had visited the site on each day as noted in December, and not a back-up ORC. He said that
that was correct, that the only days he got off were for the Christmas holiday.
Our database shows that Mr. Nault attended a continuing education class titled'Customer Service for
Water & Wastewater Utilities. The class began at 8:30 and was over at 4:00 on December 10, 2014.
Mr. Nault's presence at the class was verified and witnessed by DENR staff. The visitation log and the
DMR indicate that Mr. Nault visited se7en during those hours on that day. The DMR also has upstream
and downstream field parameter recordings for that day.
An undated and unsigned Meritech log sheet was observed in the shed with two days of TRC,
Temperature, Time -in and Time-out data for two days (month unknown... if for current month, missing
at least two days' worth of entries.).
EFFLUENT SAMPLING:
Mr. Nault says he has not been sampling 001 because there is always 'just a trickle' at the discharge
pipe. This is unacceptable, as it doesn't require much volume to measure field parameters, which is
the only requirement on most days. On days when other samples need to be pulled, it may take
several more minutes to collect a sample when there is 'just a trickle', but that is not an excuse for not
pulling samples at all. I suggested that Mr. Nault pull samples during the inspection (which was
scheduled to coincide with his regular daily visit), but he said he hadn't brought what he needed to
sample.
Mr. Nault said he had not been sampling 002 because he didn't believe it to be a representative
discharge since it is'just creek water', even though 1.) the permit clearly defines the discharge as
being partly made up of storm water and 2.) Mr. Nault has been placing dechlorination tablets to
combat an 'unknown' source of chlorine at the discharge.
Last year's inspection reported required that se7en investigate the source of chlorine at 002 prior to this
inspection. This has not been done. Mr. Nault stated that the tablets get washed away during high flow
events, SO:
PLEASE SUBMIT PLANS FOR PRE -APPROVAL OF A FORMAL DECHLORINATION SYSTEM TO
BE INSTALLED AT DISCHARGE 002.
003: Last year's inspection revealed the unauthorized use of a biocide and several other chemicals in
the flow stream leading to this discharge point (003). Biocide worksheets were submitted to our
Aquatic Toxicity Unit, and at least the biocide failed the test. Mr. Joey Jordan, of se7en, stated on
4/29/2014 that se7en would consider a chlorine/dechlorination system, 'nothing physical, just adding

the chemicals to the system'. He was told to submit plans in writing prior to utilizing any new
chemicals. THERE CAN BE NO DISCHARGE OF COOLING TOWER BLOWDOWN UNTIL A
PRE -APPROVED TREATMENT METHOD IS IN PLACE.
SECONDARY CLARIFIER
The clarifier was approximately 80% covered with solids, due in part to a blocked return. It is not
uncommon to battle floating solids in underfed plants such as this one, though Mr. Nault could not
recall the last time he measured sludge in the clarifier, stating that it was 'a long time ago' but that
'there is nothing in there'.
The weir trough was covered in duckweed. Mr. Nault said it'wasn't that bad' the last time he was there
which, I reminded him, was supposedly the day before. He said there was not enough water pressure
to be able to clean out the trough effectively. With the dimensions of the trough being approximately 10
feet x 1 foot at ground level, it should be easy to remove the duckweed by hand, especially if done
regularly.

Caswell County
Dear Mr. Durham:
John E. Skvarla, III
Secretary
Jenifer Carter of this office performed a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the wastewater treatment, air
washer and HVAC cooling tower discharges located at Burlington Industries' weaving and dying facility in
Caswell County January 14, 2014. Marc Nault, Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC), was present for the
inspection. This type of inspection consists of two basic parts: a review of facility files and an on -site
inspection of the treatment plant, air washer, cooling tower and related discharges.
File Review
• Lab data and ORC visitation records correctly correlated with information submitted on the monthly
Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs). It was recommended that field sheets should_ be maintained
consistently for field parameters in order to back up hand-written data on the DMRs.
Wastewater Treatment Plant (Domestic)
• Waste in the aeration basin appeared on the thin/young side, as in previous inspections. Mr. Nault says the
system is chronically underfed, and uses dog food to combat the problems associated with an underfed
system.
• Unusually cold temperatures caused some ice build-up in the secondary clarifier and aerobic digester, which
appeared to be impeding the sludge return to some degree.
• The effluent was clear during the inspection, with no impacts to surface waters observed.
Outfall 002 (air washer blowdown and stormwater)
• Mr. Nault has had to start placing dechlorination tablets on the concrete pad at the end of the discharge pipe
in order to neutralize chlorine being detected. Plant Manager, Joey Jordan, claimed after the inspection that
he does not know the source of chlorine. The plant utilizes on -site well water, which he said is not
chlorinated. Please investigate and identify the source of chlorine before next year's inspection.
• The discharge during the visit appeared clear, with no noticeable odor.

• It was discovered during the inspection that 6 (six) different chemicals are being added to the system to
prevent corrosion, rust, mold, etc. Part I A.(3.) of the permit requires the permittee to obtain authorization
from the Division prior to utilizing biocides/additives, which was not done. Mr. Jordan was provided with a
biocide/chemical additive worksheet to fill out for each chemical. Please submit these forms to the
Divisions Aquatic Toxicity Unit by February 17, 2014, to the address provided on the form.
Your cooperation in maintaining compliance with your NPDES permit to discharge is appreciated. It is
imperative that plant personnel coordinate their efforts with the ORC in order for him to properly monitor and
maintain waste treatment facilities and plant discharges as he has been hired to do. Please refer to the attached
report for further details from the inspection. If you have any questions concerning this report, please contact

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Mr. Nault said the package plant (001) chronically underloaded. He adds dog food to the system. The water
in the AB did appear thin/young, as in the last inspection.
Mr. Nault has started adding dechlorination tablets at outfall 002 since the last inspection, but has been
unable to determine the source of chlorine. Plant staff (Joey Jordan) not sure of the source either and
claims that the well water is not chlorinated. The inability to identify the source of chlorine by plant staff is
perplexing. Please investigate and identify the source of chlorine (and anything else being added
unkowingly) before next year's inspection.
During the insepection, it was discovered that chemicals are being added to the AC/HVAC Cooling Tower to
prevent corrosion, rust, etc. This system discharges to outfall 003 during the warmer months. The permit
requires that the Division be notified PRIOR to the use of any such chemicals. Biocide/chemical additive
worksheets were provided to Joey Jordan after the inspection. Please make sure one is filled out for each of
the six chemicals being added and return them to the address provided on the form by February 17, 2014.

HOW - Both
BACKGROUND:
Burlington Technologies purchased the Williamsburg Plant in late 2009 from Tietex Interiors, who had
purchased in on July 11, 2005 from Burlington Industries. The Williamsburg Plant for Burlington
Technologies weaves yarn into cloth, though no process wastewater is discharged from any of the
outfalls. The facility has three permitted Outfalls, 001, 002 and 003. Outfall 001 discharges domestic
wastewater after treatment by a package plant. Air Washer blowdown and stormwater are discharged
through Outfall 002. Cooling Water blowdown is discharged through Outfall 003. Outfalls 001 and 002
discharge to an unknown tributary (UT) to Buttermilk Creek. Outfall 003 discharges to a UT to Grays
Branch. Both are considered zero flow streams in the Cape Fear River Basin.
In 1997, the facility was required to perform an Engineering Alternatives Analysis (EAA) in order to
assess the present value cost (PVC) of reducing the impact on the receiving streams, both of which are
zero flow streams. After discussions with the Winston-Salem Regional Office (WSRO), it was agreed
that the most feasible alternative, an upgrade to the existing treatment plant, would only be implemented
if the facility began to have difficult meeting the limits specified by the NPDES permit.

APPLICATION REVIEW:
The renewal application describes the treatment works as follows:
Outfall 001: Domestic waste treated through a package system consisting of a bar screen, aeration
basin, sludge digestion, clarifier, tablet chlorination system (includes chlorine contact chamber), tablet
dechlorination and step aeration.
Outfall 002: Air washer blowdown and stormwater, treated with sodium thiosulfate as needed for
dechlorination.
Outfall 003: Cooling Tower blowdown, treated with sodium thiosulfate as needed.
DMR Review:
DMRs from January 2010 to December 2012 were reviewed for all outfalls. Average monthly data for
001 is compiled in Table 1 below. Domestic flow from 001 averaged 0.0019 MGD with a maximum flow
of 0.004 MGD. This flow was approximately the same as the discharge through 002 and 003, which
averaged 0.0018 MGD each, and had a maximum value of 0.0050 and 0.0070 MGD respectively.
Discharge from both 002 and 003 was usually consistent in volume from month to month, however, at the
very low operating rate, the facility can go for months with one or more outfalls having no discharge.
TRC from 002 and 003 is almost always below detection level. Outfall 002 had one reading of 15 µg/ L,
which is below both the 17 µg/ L permit limit and the 50 µg/ L compliance level.

Instream Data Review:
The impact of the domestic waste discharge from 001 is assessed through instream monitoring of
temperature and DO. Upstream/Downstream data for the unnamed tributary to Buttermilk Creek is
summarized in Table 2. Data shows that downstream DO is less than upstream DO 73% of the time,
even when Outfall 001 has not discharged for as long as 5 months. There was only one occasion on
which the downstream DO value was lower than the instream DO standard of 5 mg/ L. On September
19, 2012 the downstream DO was 4.6 mg/ L., which is below the instream standard. However, this
occurred during an extended period when there was no discharge from any outfall all month. The
average change in temperature between the upstream and downstream portions of the stream was -0.4 °C.
The average DO change was -0.4 mg/ L.

Reasonable Potential Analysis:
Reasonable Potential Analysis was not appropriate for any of the pollutants monitored through this
permit.
Compliance:
Compliance Evaluation Inspections have been conducted annually from 2008-2012. During the past 5
years (2008 - 2012), the facility received 7 NOVs for various problems: One Late/ Missing DMR
violation in August 2010, TRC Reporting Frequency in August and September 2011, Flow Reporting
Frequency in August and September 2011 and Fecal Coliform Daily Maximum violations in October
2008 and November 2012.
PERMITTING STRATEGY:
1997 correspondence from the facility and recent discussions with the WSRO indicate that the facility
will not yet be required to implement any of the upgrades specified by the 12/97 EAA. The facility was
permitted and in operation when the receiving waters were reclassified as HQW, so it is Grandfathered at
the original conditions. If the facility develops problems meeting the DO instream requirements, it can
be required to upgrade treatment facilities as per the 12/97 EAA.
Waste Load Allocation (WLA):
The last waste load allocation was performed in 1992. It indicates that the only positive flow
measurement is the average flow: 0.075-cfs. BOD, TSS, ammonia nitrogen, DO, fecal coliform and
TRC are all limited in the present permit. Monitoring requirements are for temperature, total nitrogen
and Total Phosphorus. No changes are proposed in the renewal permit.
Zero Flow Policy:
As per NPDES policy, the facility was required to perform an EAA in 1997. They were also given NH3-
N limits of 2 mg/L for summer and 4 mg/L for winter. Unless the facility begins to violate the stream
DO standard, more stringent BOD limits will not be implemented. The current limits on BOD and TS S
are 3 0/3 0.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES:
1. . The Owner's name will be changed to Burlington Technologies - Williamsburg Plant, from
Tietec Interiors.
2. On the Supplement to Permit Cover Page, tablet dechlorination is added to the facility
description for Outfall 001. Equipment listing for Outfall 002 has been updated to delete all
unused equipment, eliminating air compressors, cooling towers, boilers and water softeners. .
Outfall 002 now consists of air washer blowdown and stormwater.
3. The Permit Map is updated to show actual discharge locations.
4. On page A.(1.) for Outfall 001:
• Total Suspended Residue (TSR) is changed to Total Suspended Solids (TSS).
Nact Sheet
NPDFS N(:0001194 Draft Renewal
Page 3

• The TRC footnote is updated in accordance with current permitting strategy, which
states that analytical values reported as less than 50 µg/ L are considered to be in
compliance with the permit requirements.
• pH monitoring and limits have been moved up into the table, and the footnote removed.
5. On pages A.(2.) and A.(3.) for Outfalls 002 and 003:
• The list of equipment and processes discharging to Outfall 002 has been revised in
accordance with the current process arrangement, eliminating air compressors, cooling
towers, boilers and water softeners, leaving air washer blowdown and stormwater only.
• Instream monitoring for temperature for Outfall 002 has been removed because of
process changes.
• The TRC footnote has been updated to the current permitting strategy.
• pH monitoring and limits have been moved up into the table, and the footnote removed.
• References to "Division of Water Quality" have been changed to "Division of Water
Resources" in accordance with recent reorganization within DENR.

SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection — NPDES Permit No. NC0001384

Caswell County
Dear Mr. Morgan:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
Jenifer Carter of this office performed a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the wastewater treatment facility at
Tietex Interiors — Williamsburg Plant wastewater treatment plant in Caswell County on December 5, 2012. Marc
Nault (ORC) was present for the inspection. This type of inspection consists of two basic parts: a review of facility
files and an on -site inspection of the facility.
Marc Nault is the new ORC of this plant since May 31, 2011. Facility files are maintained as required, including
maintenance and ORC visitation logs. Lab data correctly correlated with data submitted on the monthly Discharge
Monitoring Reports (DMRs).
Waste in the aeration basin appeared on the thin/young side, and there were some solids and pin floc observed in
the secondary clarifier. Since the clarifier appeared cloudy, Mr. Nault measured the sludge blanket depth after the
inspection and decided that he should have sludge in the clarifier and chlorine contact chamber pumped out, and
will have the digester decanted as well. The plant was discharging during the inspection. The effluent was clear
and free of solids and foam.
It is often noted on the monthly DMRs that there is no discharge at each of the three outfalls. All three outfalls were
-- -- --- —
discharging during the inspection. Care should be taken that data submitted on the D R is s representative of what
typically occurs at the plant.
Burlington Technologies staff is responsible for electrical and mechanical maintenance at the plant. It has been
noted several years in a row now that herbicides have been used at the small creek where the effluent is discharged.
This is ill-advised as it has caused severe erosion, and could contaminate samples taken for compliance purposes.
More frequent mowing is recommended instead of the use of herbicides.
Please refer to the attached report for further details from the inspection. If you have any questions concerning this
report, please contact Ms. Carter at [phone].

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
The Discharge Monitoring Reports indicate that the WWTP does not discharge often. The was a discharge
occuring at all three outfalls during the inspection. Be sure representative discharges are being monitored
as required.
As a reminder, it is a permit condition that no chromium, zinc or copper be added to cooling tower water
(sometimes added to biocides to keep algal growth down). Mr. Nault was adviced to periodically check with
staff at the Williamsburg Plant to verify that these are still not being used.
The discharges all appeared to be clear and free of foam or solids. Overall, the plant appeared to be
operated and maintained sufficiently, though more frequent testing of sludge depth/age may be
recommended.
Please refer to each section of this inspection for more detail.

Dear Mr. Morgan:
Jenny Graznak of this office performed a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the wastewater
treatment facility at Tietex Interiors — Williamsburg Plant wastewater treatment plant in Caswell
County on July 27, 2011. Marc Nault (ORC) and Patrick Merritt (Back -Up ORC) of Meritech and Earl
Wrenn of Williamsburg Plant were present for the inspection. This type of inspection consists of two
basic parts: an in -office review of facility files and self -monitoring data and an on -site inspection of
the facility. This particular inspection evaluated nine (9) areas, and observations from each area are
addressed below:
1. Permit
The new permit became effective July 1, 2006 and expired May 31, 2011. The new permit has not
been received yet, so you should continue to operate according to the previous permit's
requirements. This facility was recently purchased by Burlington Technologies and is no longer
named Tietex Interiors. Therefore, if you have not already, you should complete a Name/Ownership
Change Form, which is attached to this letter.
2. Self -Monitoring Program
A review of the monthly Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) from June 2010 through May 2011
showed no limit violations. However, there was a violation of monitoring requirements in April 2011
when pH was not measured at any of the three outfalls for the time period of March 26 through April
7. This issue of noncompliance was addressed in separate correspondence from our office.
3. Laboratory
Meritech, Inc. manages all wastewater analysis for the treatment plant. Field parameter lab
certification number for Meritech, Inc. is 165. ORC Marc Nault performs the following field
parameter tests at this facility: temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, and total residual chlorine.
4. Flow Measurement
The plant does not have a flow meter. Weekly effluent flow is estimated in gallons per minute using a
ruler at the weir in the effluent trough.
5. Facility Site Review
The plant includes an aeration basin, a secondary clarifier, digester, tablet chlorination,
dechlorination, and step aeration at the effluent. The aeration basin has two blowers. The
chlorinator has four (4) tubes. The dechlorination system has two tubes, which require sodium sulfite

tablets. Dechlorination equipment has not been added to the Outfalls 002 and 003 (cooling tower
blowdown) because testing determined that the effluent meets the chlorine limit requirements
already.
6. Operations & Maintenance
Marc Nault is the new ORC of this plant since May 31, 2011. Some solids were observed floating on
the surface of the clarifier. A few tadpoles were also observed in the clarifier during the inspection.
Burlington Technologies staff is responsible for electrical and mechanical maintenance at the plant,
including motors, oil, filters, compressor, and bearings. A record of this maintenance work,
performed on a monthly basis, is kept in the shed inside the plant fence. Ms. Graznak noted that
once again, herbicides have been used at the small creek where the effluent is discharged.
7. Records/Reports
The Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) and lab data were available for review during the
inspection. Field parameter data and meter calibration information was available during the
inspection from the ORC in the form of scratch notes. A daily operators log is maintained in the
shed at the plant.
8. Effluent/Receiving Waters
The effluent is discharged into unnamed tributaries to Buttermilk Creek and Grays Branch (WS-II,
NSW) in the Cape Fear River Basin. The effluent appeared clear with no traceable solids.
Upstream sample is collected 50 feet upstream of discharge, and downstream sample is collected
50 feet downstream of discharge — posts mark the exact spots.
9. Sludge Handling Disposal
Due to low flow, the operating staff reports that wasting occurs infrequently. Billingsly Septic Tank
Service provides sludge disposal. The contents of the sludge digester are transported to City of
Greensboro's North Buffalo Wastewater Treatment Plant. No sludge has been removed in the last
few year due to such low flow at the plant.
Please refer to the attached report for further details from the inspection. If you have any
questions concerning this report, please contact Ms. Graznak or me at [phone].

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Jenny Graznak of this office performed a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the wastewater treatment
facility at Tietex Interiors — Williamsburg Plant wastewater treatment plant in Caswell County on July 27,
2011. Marc Nault (ORC) and Patrick Merritt (Back -Up ORC) of Meritech and Earl Wrenn of Williamsburg
Plant were present for the inspection. This type of inspection consists of two basic parts: an in -office review
of facility files and self -monitoring data and an on -site inspection of the facility. This particular inspection
evaluated nine (9) areas, and observations from each area are addressed below:
1. Permit
The new permit became effective July 1, 2006 and expired May 31, 2011. The new permit has not been
received yet, so you should continue to operate according to the previous permit's requirements. This facility
was recently purchased by Burlington Technologies and is no longer named Tietex Interiors. Therefore, if
you have not already, you should complete a Name/Ownership Change Form, which is attached to this
letter.
2. Self -Monitoring Program
A review of the monthly Discharge Monitoring Reports (DM Rs) from June 2010 through May 2011 showed
no limit violations. However, there was a violation of monitoring requirements in April 2011 when pH was

herbicides have been used at the small creek where the effluent is discharged. Excessive use
of such treatments in and around a stream could lead to a violation of water quality standards.
Please relay this information to your lawn maintenance staff.
7. Records/Reports
The Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) and lab data were available for review during the
inspection. However, field parameter data and meter calibration information was not
available during the inspection. Please make sure that this data is available for DWQ

Mr. Mark Morgan
Tietex Interiors — Williamsburg Plant
5928 NC Highway 87 North
Gibsonville, NC 27249
SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection — NPDES Permit No. NCO001384
Tietex Interiors: Williamsburg Plant WWTP — Caswell County
Dear Mr. Morgan:
Jenny Graznak of this office performed a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the
wastewater treatment facility at Tietex Interiors — Williamsburg Plant wastewater treatment plant
in Caswell County on May 13, 2009. Patrick Merritt (ORC) was present for the inspection. This
type of inspection consists of two basic parts: an in -office review of facility files and self -
monitoring data and an, on -site inspection of the facility. This particular inspection evaluated
nine (9) areas, and observations from each area are addressed below:
1. Permit
The new permit became effective July 1, 2006 and expires May 31, 2011.
2. Self -Monitoring Program
A review of the monthly self -monitoring reports from March 2008 through February 2009
showed one violation of the daily Fecal Coliform limit in October 2008. This violation was
assessed through prior correspondence from our office.
3. Laboratory
Meritech, Inc. manages all wastewater analysis for the treatment plant. Field parameter lab
certification number for Meritech, Inc. is 165. ORC Patrick Merritt performs the following field
parameter tests at this facility: temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, and total residual chlorine.
4. Flow Measurement
Weekly effluent flow is estimated in gallons per minute at weir in the effluent trough.
5. Facility Site Review
The plant includes an aeration basin, a secondary clarifier, digester, tablet chlorination, and step
aeration at the effluent. The aeration basin has two blowers. The chlorinator has four (4) tubes.
This permit includes a new limit for Total Residual Chlorine (TRC). The new TRC limit is 17
micrograms/liter (0.017 milligrams/liter) and took effect on December 1, 2007. Therefore, a
dechlorination system was installed at the facility. The system has two tubes, which requires
sodium sulfite tablets. Dechlorination equipment has not been added to the Outfalls 002 and
003 because testing determined that the effluent meets the chlorine limit requirements already.

6. Operations & Maintenance
The sidewalls in of the clarifier need to be routinely cleaned to avoid sludge buildup, which could
inhibit proper settling of sludge. Actual flow at the plant is still well below the permitted flow due
to minimal activity at the facility.
Ms. Graznak noted that herbicides have been used around the plant and also at the small
creek where the effluent is discharged. Spraying herbicides so close to a wastewater
treatment plant could have an ill effect on the plant processes. You should take great
care when using herbicides and pesticides around surface waters. Excessive use of
such treatments in and around a stream could lead to a violation of water quality
standards. Please replay this information to your lawn maintenance staff.
7. Records/Reports
The Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs), files, and lab data are maintained according to the
permit. A copy of this data was available for review during the inspection. A daily operators log
is maintained by the ORC. Staff from Tietex are responsible for electrical and mechanical
maintenance at the plant, including motors, oil, filters, compressor, and bearings. A record of
this maintenance work, performed on a monthly basis, is kept in the shed inside the plant fence.
8. Effluent/Receiving Waters
The effluent is discharged into unnamed tributaries to Buttermilk Creek and Grays Branch .(WS-
II, NSW) in the Cape Fear River Basin. The effluent appeared clear with no traceable solids.
Upstream sample is collected 50 feet upstream of discharge, and downstream sample is
collected 50 feet downstream of discharge - posts mark the exact spots.
9. Sludge Handling Disposal
Due to low flow, the operating staff reports that wasting occurs infrequently. Billingsly Septic
Tank Service provides sludge disposal. The contents of the sludge digester are transported to
City of Greensboro's North Buffalo Wastewater Treatment Plant. No sludge has been removed
in the last year due to such low flow at the plant.
Please refer to the attached report for further details from the inspection. If you have any
questions concerning this report, please contact Ms. Graznak or me at [phone].

Steve W. Tedder

Subject: Notification of Jordan Lake Nutrient Requirements
NPDES Permit NC0001384
Williamsburg Plant
Caswell County
Dear Mr. Gaines:
Governor Bev Perdue recently signed legislation to complete passage of rules for the Jordan Lake
Nutrient Management Strategy. The Strategy includes a Wastewater Discharge rule (T15A NCAC 02B
.0270) that applies to your wastewater treatment facility. Pursuant to Sub -Item (6)(d) of the rule, I am
writing to notify you of the nutrient allocations assigned to your facility.
This letter addresses only certain provisions of the Jordan Lake Wastewater Discharge rule. I encourage
you to familiarize yourself with the remainder of this rule.
Nutrient Allocations. The Wastewater Discharge rule establishes the maximum loads of nitrogen and
phosphorus that can be released from wastewater treatment facilities into the Jordan Lake watershed.
The rule provides that these wasteload allocations are to be divided among the existing facilities in
proportion to (with specific exceptions) their 2001 permitted flows. It also provides that facilities
permitted to discharge 100,000 gpd or more are to receive nitrogen and phosphorus limits equivalent to
their individual allocations.
Your facility has been assigned nitrogen and phosphorus allocations. The allocations are expressed as
annual mass loadings delivered to the lake. Due to foreseeable losses between the discharge point and
the lake, they are also expressed as the equivalent discharge loads at the point of discharge. The
delivered and the corresponding discharge allocations assigned to your facility are as follows:
NC0001384

Marvin Gaines
Notification of Jordan Lake Nutrient Requirements
September 25, 2009
Nutrient Limits. Your facility will not receive new nutrient limits at this time. However, any nutrient
limits already in your NPDES permit will remain in effect.
If the facilities permitted for less than 100,000 gpd, as a group, approach their allocations for nitrogen
or phosphorus, the Division will consider whether nutrient limits are necessary to protect water quality
at that time. In the event that nutrient limits become necessary, the limits would equal your facility's
discharge allocations.
Nutrient Trading. The rule provides that, when one utility connects to another, the allocations held by
the closing facility are transferred to the remaining facility. The rule also provides for the trading of
allocations among dischargers within each of the major Jordan subwatersheds. Be sure to consult with
the Division's NPDES staff before you consider selling allocation: transactions can have profound
implications for your facility and its permit.
If you have any questions regarding these allocations, please contact me at [phone] or at
mike. [e-mail].
Sincerely,
/ \

Winstcn S,
Reofcna.' " _
Burlington Technologies — Williamsburg Plant operates a textile weaving and inspection facility
located in Matkins, North Carolina. The facility operates under existing NPDES permit No.
NC0001384. This permit is set to expire on May 31, 2011. This cover letter and attached NPDES
Permit Application — Short Form C — Minor Industrial serves as the renewal application. Since
the last permit, the treatment area has added a tablet dechlorination system.
The facility was previously owned by Tietex and was purchased by Burlington Technologies
over a year ago. There have been no additions to the facility that would modify the wastewater
streams. The facility mainly discharges sanitary wastewater and utility wastewater.
The wastewater treatment operation on the sanitary wastewater creates a small amount of sludge.
The sludge handled using the following process. The sludge is initially treated on -site using
aerobic digestion. Infrequently, every 1 to 2 years, the sludge is removed from the treatment
system and shipped off -site for disposal.
If you have any questions regarding this renewal application, I can be contacted at (336) 585-
2320.
Sincerely,
X�<

BACKGROUND
The Williamsburg Plant for Burlington Industries weaves yarn into cloth,
though no process wastewater is discharged from any of the outfalls. Non -contact
cooling water from various parts of the plant is discharged through 002 and 003.
Outfall 001 discharges domestic wastewater from the facility after treating it in a
package plant system. In 1997, the facility was required to perform an Engineering
Alternatives Analysis (EAA) in order to assess the present value cost (PVC) of reducing
the impact on the receiving streams, both of which are zero flow streams. After
discussions with the Winston-Salem Regional Office (WSRO), it was agreed that the
most feasible alternative, an upgrade to the existing treatment plant, would only be
implemented if the facility began to have difficult meeting the limits specified by the
NPDES permit.
FILE REVIEW
The renewal application describes the treatment works as follows:
001: Domestic waste treated through a package system consisting of a bar
screen, aeration basin, sludge digestiop tablet chlorination system (includes
chlorine contact chamber), and step lorinatio
002 and 003: Non -contact cooling water from boilers and compressors treated
with sodium thiosulfate as needed.
Effluent from 001 and 002 discharges to an unnamed tributary (UT) to
Buttermilk Creek. Water form 003 is discharged to an UT to Grays Branch.

DMR Review:
DMRs dating from January 1998 to February 2001 were reviewed for all
outfalls. Average monthly data for 001 is compiled in Table 1 below. Domestic flow
from 001 averaged 0.0059 MGD with a maximum flow of 0.0095 MGD. This flow was
less than that of the cooling water discharged through 002, which averaged 0.023
MGD and had a maximum value of 0.0284. Discharge from both 002 and 003 was
usually consistent in volume from month to month. Average flow from 003 was
0.0046 with a maximum of 0.01036 MGD. TRC from 002 and 003 is always below
detection level.

Instream Data Review
The impact of the domestic waste discharge from 001 is assessed through
instream monitoring of temperature, DO, fecal coliform and conductivity.
Upstream/Downstream data for the upper tributary to Buttermilk Creek is
summarized in Table 2. There was only one occasion on which the discharge caused
a violation of the instream DO standard. No flow was recorded upstream of the 002
discharge. Temperature data was recorded for flow upstream and downstream of 003.
The average change in temperature between the upstream and downstream portions
of the stream was 2.10C.

Compliance EV___1tion Inspections have been con(_ ed annually from 1996-
2000. During this time, the facility received some NOVs for failure to report certain
parameters as specified in the NPDES permit. The facility is otherwise reported as
well operated and maintained. In 2000, the facility received two NOVs. The first,
given in August of 2000, was assessed for violation of the permit monthly limits for
ammonia nitrogen. A civil penalty of $1056 was paid. The second violation was
assessed in October 2000 for violation of the ammonia nitrogen monthly limit and two
failures to monitor BOD. The $1, 167 fine was paid.
PERMITTING STRATEGY
1997 correspondence from the facility and recent discussions with the WSRO indicate
that the facility will not yet be required to implement any of the upgrades specified by
the 12/97 EAA.
Waste Load Allocation (WLA).
The last waste load allocation was performed in 1992. It indicates that the only
positive flow measurement is the average flow - 0.075-cfs. BOD, ammonia nitrogen,
DO, TSS, fecal coliform are all limited. Monitoring requirements are recommended for
temperature, total phosphorus, total nitrogen and temperature.
Zero Flow Policy
As per NPDES policy, the facility was required to perform an EAA during the last
permitting cycle. They were also given NH3-N limits of 2 mg/L for summer and 4
mg/L for winter. Unless the facility begins to violate the stream DO standard, more
stringent BOD limits will not be implemented. The current limits on BOD and TSR
are 30/30.
Note: The permittee should be alerted via cover letter that failure to meet
NPDES permit requirements will result in re -opening of the permit and action
towards implementation of the findings of the EAR.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES
A review of the instream data for the facility at the current monitoring locations
indicates that the discharge may not have much impact in terms of oxygen consuming
wastes. The impact of the effluent with respect to nutrient loading of the receiving
stream is unclear. The receiving streams are likely to be impacted by non -point
sources (the 2000 basin plan for the Cape Fear River Basin indicates that
approximately 35% of nutrient loading in the basin is due to non -point sources).
Although this discharge is small with average nutrient loadings to the receiving
stream, we may wish to alert them to the fact that the receiving waters are NSW and
in the future, limits may be imposed.
Otherwise, no changes to the existing permit are proposed.

Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft NPDES permit for the above referenced
facility. I encourage you to review the draft carefully to ensure thorough understanding of
the information, conditions, and requirements contained therein.
Please note that the receiving streams (Buttermilk Creek and Grays Branch) to
which your facility discharges are classified "nutrient sensitive." Although the current
permit requires monitoring of nutrients only, the Division of Water Quality (Division) reserves
the right to reopen your permit at any time to impose nutrient limits on the effluent. You
should also be aware of the potential discharge requirements for your facility as a result of
House Bill 515. In 1997 the Clean Water Responsibility Act (House Bill 515) was
enacted, with the intent to strengthen the control of nutrients from all discharges to
NSW waters. Facilities permitted to discharge greater than 500,000 gallons per day,
and any new or expanding facilities, will be subject to nutrient limitations for total
nitrogen and total phosphorus according to House Bill 515 requirements. Since
modifications to treatment systems are expensive and time consuming, it is highly
recommended that you begin planning for this possibility now if a future expansion is
anticipated.
Your facility has also recently received two Notices of Violations (NOVs) for failure to
meet the permit requirements. Although you have not been required to implement any
plant upgrades as per the December 1997 EAA performed for you facility, continued
failure to comply with the NPDES permit requirements may result in forced
implementation of the such upgrades.
As regards your Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs), please note that reporting "0"
for a total residual chlorine (TRC) value is not acceptable. If laboratory analyses indicate
non -detection of TRC, you must report it as "<" followed by the detection level for that
analysis.

Hi Natalie,
Thanks for the info. I have one correction ,one comment and two requests.
1) Correction: On the front page of the fact sheet (under file review) it should
read step "aeration" and not step chlorination.
2) Comment: On page #2 of the fact sheet (under Instream Data Review for 001)
you mention that "the discharge caused a violation of the instream DO standard."
Based on my observations at the site, I would find it hard to agree with that.
The #001 discharge is into a dry ditch and not a stream. The upstream flow comes
from outfall #002 so the ditch is not really surface waters. In many cases the
ORC has to sample pooled stagnant water at the downstream site for #001. The low
DO's are more likely due to stagnant warm water than to oxygen depletion from the
organic load, especially since the effluent BOD values are consistently <2.0.
Now, to my soap box (just ask Dave G., he has heard it before).
I was surprised to see that conductivity measurements (E,U,D) were required.
I did not think we were requiring conductivity monitoring for 100% domestic
flows. Especially, since this is only 0.025 MGD. Can this be deleted from the
permit? Current laboratory rules now require that conductivity samples be
performed in a laboratory and not with field instruments on site. This is
approximately 12 samples per month that B.I. must pay for that are basically
inconclusive.
The same goes for fecal coliform U & D monitoring. Fecal coliform compliance is
not an issue for this facility. The flow in the ditch is 100% effluent from
outfall #001 and #002. The stream data for the year 2000 does not indicate any
fecal coliform problems. Can this U & D fecal monitoring also be deleted?

Thanks for your consideration. I this does not seem combative. It is just my
opinion that the upstream and downstream data in this instance (and many others)
is pretty much inconclusive and seldom useful. If the shoe was on the other foot
and I was the permittee, I know I would not want to pay for this data.
Thanks again, Mike.

Hmmm, maybe your e-mail is toying with you .... I rec'd the e-mail
all appropriate changes before it goes to public notice (at which
get a hard copy of it).
thanks for your input,
Natalie
