OP NATURAL RLSOURC}$ AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT MAY 4 1992 1111SINI FNVIOCIIMESIAL NANIPCNI 1100RESVILLE WMAL affICE Cleveland Mills, Inc. NPDES Facility with Lagoon (Existing) New Permit Application Cleveland County AC0004120/GW91293 (Angela Griffin: DEM SERG Review Engineer) The Groundwater Section has reviewed the subject permit application for two existing lagoons, including a one million gallon equalization lagoon and a two million gallon aeration lagoon. The aeration basin is unlined, however the equalization basin has a glay liner exhibiting a average hydraulic conductivity of 1.8 x 10 cm/sec. Cleveland Mills is a textile manufacturing operation which is involved in yarn manufacturing, knitting, dyeing, and finishing of cotton blended fabrics. A review of the facility map submitted with the application indicates that the subject lagoons are situated near the southeastern perimeter of the property, and are very close to the First Broad River. The southeastern property line is shown to be in the middle of the river. In view of the fact that the anticipated direction of groundwater flow (as determined by topography) is southeast toward the river from the lagoons, and the compliance boundary is situated near the edge of the river, the Groundwater Section will not require groundwater monitoring at this site. We have no objection to issuance of a permit, provided that the following condition is included: 1. Any groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division, shall be provided.

The samples were obtained from the upper portions of the sides of the lagoon at the approxivate locations shown on the attached Figure 1. The samples were obtained by pushing a thin -walled sampling tube into the soil using a "sky track" fork lift. After the samples were extracted from the Lagoon, the tubes were sealed with wax to limit moisture loss and then transported to our laboratory in Charlotte, North Carolina. The sample holes in the lagoon were filled with bentonite clay prior to our leaving the site. At the laboratory, the samples were extracted from the sample tubes. Unit weight and initial moisture content testing were performed on the samples. Each sample was placed in a sealed chamber and each end of the sample was then capped with filter paper, porus stones, and end caps. The chamber was filled with water and the sample was saturated through pressured lines leading through the cap and pedestal. After saturation was complete, permeability testing was'etarted. Water was driven through the sample from the bottom top at a controlled,head differential. When entry and exit volumes became equal, the water flow (Q) was measured and the permeability was then calculated. This procedure is in general accordance with ASTM D 2434 (Constant Head Method). The results of our testing are shown of the attached Summary of Laboratory Testing sheet. RECEIVED FEB 1 7 199?
