Reduced instream monitoring has been included in this NPDES permit under the
assumption that the Neuse River Coalition will be formed and approved by the Division of
Environmental Management. If the coalition does not materialize or you choose not to
participate, the NPDES permit may be reopened by administrative letter to include
additional instream monitoring requirements determined to be necessary to adequately
characterize the effects of the discharge on the Neuse River Basin's water quality.

Your discharge is located on the Nouse River malnstem which has limited assimilative capacity.
Dischargers to the mainstem d the River must make efforts to treat to advanced tertiary levels. (Le. 5 rrg/I
BODs and 2 rrg/I NH3N). Therefore, an engineering analysis evaluating the cost feasibility d achieving
advanced tertiary treatment levels is due by June1, 1996. If advanced tertiary levels cannot be met with
state of the art treatment for this industrial type, then information should be provided detailing the best
achievable levels d treatment.

(approach taken, correspondence with region, EPA, etc.)
BOD5 and NH3-N are above those recommended by Basin Plan [BOD5: 8.4 mg/1 and NH3-N: 4.0 mg/1].
Your discharge is located on the Neuse River mainstem which has limited assimilative capacity.
Dischargers to the mainstem of the River must make efforts to treat to advanced tertiary levels, (i.e. 5
mg/I BOD5 and 2 mg/I NH3N). Therefore, an engineering analysis evaluating the cost feasibility of
achieving advanced tertiary treatment levels is due by •Feltrtrary 1, 1993 l If advanced tertiary levels
cannot be met with state of the art treatment for this industrial type, then information should be provided
detailing the best achievable levels of treatment.

Facility Name Burlington Industries - Wake Finishing Plant Permit # NC0001376 Pipe
CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in:
1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic Bioa
Procedure - Revised *September 1989) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or significant
mortality is 12 % (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document). The permit hol
shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance with the permit conditio
The first test will be performed after thirty days from the effective date of this permit during the month,
Mar., Jun., Sep., and Dec. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES
permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Dischar
Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code TGP3B.
Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
4401 Reedy Creek Road
Raleigh, N.C. 27607
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements perfc
in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the effli
toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste strea
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly monitorir
begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this monthly test requireme
will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division
Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re-oper
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 and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require
immediate retesting(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to sus mit suitable test results wil
constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements.

History
Facility has toxic interaction with Wake Forest WWTP and Raleigh WWTP, update chromium against effluent guidelines
Effluent Guidelines: 7.0 Ibs/day 291.9 mg/I
Toxic Interaction: lita6 Ibs/day - mg/I
i 5.;e koz•�l
Color, copper, [137 mg/I "Observed or Expected" in application] and zinc, [92 mg/I "Observed or Expected" in application] monitor
requirements recommended, per Staff Report - l,c+ Net es auoacct ofuc-_ pn6s, -r.TaT.
High chlorides (11,00o µgn) and fluoride (350 pgn) APAM :both of these parameters are well w/in their limits, (see attached)
BOD5 and NH3-N are above those recommended by Basin Plan [BOD5: 8.4 mg/I and NH3-N: 4.0 mg/I]. Alvarez has
spoken with facility management and they are aware that these requirements will be more strict.
Your discharge is located on the Neuse River mainstem which has limited assimilative capacity.
Dischargers to the mainstem of the River must make efforts to treat to advanced tertiary levels, (i.e.
5 mg/I BOD5 and 2 mg/I NH3N). Therefore, an engineering analysis evaluating the cost feasibility
of achieving advanced tertiary treatment levels is due by February 1, 1997. If advanced tertiary
levels cannot be met with state of the art treatment for this industrial type, then information should
be provided detailing the best achievable levels of treatment.

Phosphorus and Nitrogen very high

Thomas Stockton has written extensively on this waste Toad. A memorandum, dated 21 January, 1988, discusses the
decay rates, (and biodegradation) of phenolic compounds and justifies the use of effluent guidelines for limiting these
compounds.
Another memorandum, dated 15 December, 1987, addresses a BOD5 limit of 9 mg/I. The current effluent guideline limit of
350.5 Ibs/day, [Monthly Average] translates to 8.41 mg/I, [350.5 / 8.34 / 5.0 (mgd)]. Stockton ran a Level C with 9 mg/I,
[2.8 was the CBOD/ BOD5 ratio from 1986 BODµ data] and DO was protected. NH3-N as nitrogen did present itself as a
defining factor in the model. Since no NH3-N limits are recommended in the CFR guidelines, Stockton determined a 4
mg/I Monthly Average limit, [8.0 mg/I Daily Maximum in the current permit]. 1 will recommend a continuance of this limit.

Staff Report 112 April,19931
"The facility is located above flood plain with the exception of the polishing pond. During recent heavy rains this area was
impacted due to high river levels."
"Several metals are noted in the application, however, the facility has a long history of passing toxicity tests."
"The RRO has received numerous complaints of color in the effluent discharged from this facility. It is recommended that
color monitoring / limits be included in this permit." , , COpp.• wn3,
j:. 'NC wn3 NOT.
"...The APAM results submitted for June 1992 showed concentrations above the action levels for copper and zinc. It is
recommended that these parameters be monitored / limited in the permit. This facility will be upgraded from a Class III to
Class IV..." Ted Cashion

Many correspondences regarding color, (and mixing zone) requests. Other staff reports indicate flow measurements
problem, but this is mainly a Region Office situation and it seems to have been remedied.
