A. (6.) Col r Permitting Requirements for Tier 1 Facility This facility has been classified as a Tier 1 color discharger. The permittee will conduct color monitoring of instream stations (upstream, downstream) on a monthly basis during summer season (April -October). The permittee will record whether a color plume was observed around the outfall pipe during the monthly instream sampling events, and include that information on the monthly discharge monitoring report. Effluent samples will be collected monthly for color on a year-round basis. Color samples will be analyzed for ADMI color it natural pH. Effluent samples will consist of 24-hour composites, while instream samples will be collected as grabs. Samples will be analyzed by a state certified laboratory. If data show that water quality standards for color are being violated by the discharge permitted by the terms of this permit, then the Director may reopen this permit for the purpose of imposing additional requirements pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H.0114. Alternatively, if future conditions change and color is no longer a component of the influent wastestream, then the permittee may request a permit modification to remove color permit requirements.

A review of the spreadsheet used in calculating limitations based on plant production data and effluent guidelines from 40 CFR 410.70 Subpart G STOCK AND YARN FINISHING SUBCATEGORY shows that limits were assigned based on only a percentage of plant process flow. The correct effluent limits for sulfide, phenols and total chromium, while calculated on the attached spreadsheet, were not assigned in the 2005 permit. This abbreviated fact sheet recommends a modification in the limits for the three parameters. The previous permit writer had conferred with EPA about the monthly average production value that should be used and it was decided that 24000 pounds per day would be appropriate for calculation of daily maximum and monthly average limits. This modification is to apply the appropriate limits as calculated by effluent guidelines. The correct limits are listed below and all limits should be in lbs/day CORRECTED LIMITS POLLUTANT DAILY MAX MONTHLY AVERAGE Sulfide 5.8 2.9 Phenol 1 2.9 1.4 Total Chromium 2.9 1.4 EXISTING LIMITS TO BE MODIFIED POLLUTANT DAILY MAX MONTHLY AVERAGE Sulfide 2.3 0.8 Phenol 1.2 0.4 Total Chromium 1.2 0.4 Fact Sheet NPDES NC0004$12 Renewal Page I CHANGES TO THE PERMIT • Revised limits for sulfide, phenols and total chromium will be given based on monthly average production value of 24000 lbs/day projected for 2005. This monthly average production number was used to calculate both the monthly average and daily maximum limits. There should be no adjustment for percentage of process flow. The revised limits will be higher than those given in 2005 permit. COMPARING WATER QUALITY LIMITS AND EFFLUENT LIMITATION GUIDELINE (ELG) Reasonable potential analysis (RPA) was performed for sulfide, chromium and phenol at both the outfall in North Carolina waters and at the State line in South Carolina waters. The RPA at the borderline was based on a very conservative estimate of the summer 7Q10 (223 cfs) of the South Fork Catawba River. See the attached RPA spreadsheet for details. The Tables below compare water quality limits in both States to the effluent limitation guideline, and the most stringent limits of the two are applied in this permit with the exception of the SC standard and the corresponding allowable for sulfide. The comparative limits in Tables 3-6 are all in mg/L. TABLE 3. AVERAGE FLOW OF 0.5 MGD PARAMETERS WQS - NC LIMITS ELG-MONTHLY AVE. ELG-DAILY MAX.

In regards to SC water quality standards, there will likely be no presence of sulfide at the NC/SC State line, assuming dissipation of sulfide and also taking into account 8.5 miles distance from the outfall to the State line. Total Chromium — Both NC and SC water quality standards are less stringent than the ELG limit so ELG limit is applied in this permit. Phenol — NC has no water quality standard for phenol. SC's standard is above the ELG so ELG limit is applied in this permit. The Division of Water Quality has determined that the increased limits will not result in contravention of applicable water quality standards or loss of the river's designated uses. An alternative analysis was not performed because there was no increase in wasteflow or change in the effluent ciaracteristics from the facility. Due to the s ' 'ngency of the limits, the instream waste concentration of 0.62 % under 7Q10 conditions d the discharge point 8.5 miles above the month of the South Fork Catawba River before its confluence into the Catawba River, DWQ does not believe that the discharge of sulfide, phenpls or total chromium from Pharr Yarns will affect the water quality in South Carolina. The distance to the NC/SC State line and the amount of stream flow makes it unlikely that the SC standards for these parameters will be violated. WHOLE EFFLUENT TOXICITY (WET) TEST Type of Toxicity Test: Existing Limit: Recommended Limit: Monitoring Schedule: Chronic P/F (Quarterly) 001: Chronic P/F @ 0.62% 001: Chronic P/F @ 0.62% January, April, July, and October. The permitte has passed all of the nineteen WET tests from January 2002 to July 2006. See the attached WE testing summary. CONCLUS ON Pharr Yarns, Inc., an embattled textile industry has done an excellent job passing all its toxicity tests for the ast four years. Sulfide will likely not be considered parameter of concern at the State line where instream waste concentration (IWC) is 0.35% because at the outfall where IWC is 0.62%, there is no indication of toxicity problem. Research indicates that when soluble sulfide is discharged into water, it readily reacts with hydrogen ions and dissociates into equal forms of HS and H2S at pH 7 (NAS 1974). The fact that H2S is oxidic oxidized to e and other aq ed in well -aerated water by natural biological systems to sulfates or is biologically emental sulfur has caused investigators to minimize the toxic effects of H2S on fish atic life (Quality Criteria for Water, July 1976). Based on th above theory and the fact that the permittee has passed all its toxicity tests at the outfall and assuming dissipation of sulfide, also considering that the discharge has to be transported 1.5 miles from the outfall to the State line, NC strongly believes that sulfide will most likely not be detected at the State line.

The permittee was issued civil penalties and after further limits we realized the error. The permit was then drafted with the limits, noticed and EPA approved the draft. SC had concerns about the to whether it would protect SC waters. y conservative estimate of the summer 7Q10 (223 cfs) of the South Fork at the NC/SC border line with a discharge flow of 0.5 MGD, 8.5 miles from the outfall, a reasonable potential analysis was sulfide, chromium and phenol using SC water quality standards. 1 the variables involved in this situation, NC believes that SC waters Please let me have your comments as soon as possible (preferably by Nov. 24th). For your convenience, we will be happy to schedule a conference call with you if you like. If no comment is received by the said .date, we will move forward with a final permit.

In the arsenic criteria document (EPA 440/5-84-033, January 1985), Species Mean Acute Values are given for both arsenic (III) and arsenic (V) for five species and the ratios of the SMAVs for each species range from 0.6 to 1.7. Chronic values are available for both arsenic (III) and arsenic (V) for one species; for the fathead minnow, the chronic value for arsenic (V) is 0.29 times the chronic value for arsenic (III). No data are known to be available concerning whether the toxicities of the forms of arsenic to aquatic organisms are additive. B This criterion has been revised to reflect The Environmental Protection Agency's q l * or RfD, as contained in the Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) as of May 17, 2002. The fish tissue bioconcentration factor (BCF) from the 1980 Ambient Water Quality Criteria document was retained in each case. C This criterion is based on carcinogenicity of 104 risk. As prescribed in Section E of this regulation, application of this criterion for permit effluent limitations requires the use annual average flow or comparable tidal condition as determined by the Department. D Freshwater and saltwater criteria for metals are expressed in terms of total recoverable metals. As allowed in Section E of this regulation, these criteria may be expressed as dissolved metal for the purposes of deriving permit effluent limitations. The dissolved metal water quality criteria value may be calculated by using these 304(a) aquatic life criteria expressed in terms of total recoverable metal, and multiplying it by a conversion factor (CF). The term "Conversion Factor" (CF) represents the conversion factor for converting a metal criterion expressed as the total recoverable fraction in the water column to a criterion expressed as the dissolved fraction in the water column. (Conversion Factors for saltwater CCCs are not currently available. Conversion factors derived for saltwater CMCs have been used for both saltwater CMCs and CCCs). See "Office of Water Policy and Technical Guidance on Interpretation and Implementation of Aquatic Life Metals Criteria", October 1,1993, by Martha G. Prothro, Acting Assistant Administrator for Water, available from the Water Resource center, USEPA, 401 M St., SW, mail code RC4100, Washington, DC 20460; and 40CFR§131.36(b)(1). Conversion Factors can be found in Attachment 1 — Conversion Factors for Dissolved Metals. E The freshwater criterion for this metal is expressed as a function of hardness (mg/L) in the water column. The value given here corresponds to a hardness of 25 mg/L as expressed as CaCO3. Criteria values for other hardness may be calculated from the following: CMC (dissolved) = exp{mA [ln( hardness)]+ bA) (CF), or CCC (dissolved) = exp{mc [In (hardness)]+ bc} (CF) and the parameters specified in Attachment 2 — Parameters for Calculating Freshwater Dissolved Metals Criteria That Are Hardness -Dependent. As noted in footnote D above, the values in this appendix are expressed as total recoverable, the criterion may be calculated from the following: CMC (total) = exp{mA [In( hardness)]+ bA), or CCC (total) = exp{mc [In (hardness)]+ bc). F Freshwater aquatic life values for pentachlorophenol are expressed as a function of pH, and are calculated as follows: CMC = exp(1.005(pH)-4.869); CCC = exp(1.005(pH)-5.134). Values displayed in table correspond to a pH of 7.8. G This criterion is based on 304(a) aquatic life criterion issued in 1980, and was issued in one of the following documents: Aldrin/Dieldrin (EPA 440/5-80-019), Chlordane (EPA 440/5-80-027), DDT (EPA 440/5-80- 038), Endosulfan (EPA 440/5-80-046), Endrin (EPA 440/5-80-047), Heptachlor (440/5-80-052), Hexachlorocyclohexane (EPA 440/5-80-054), Silver (EPA 440/5-80-071). The Minimum Data Requirements and derivation procedures were different in the 1980 Guidelines than in the 1985 Guidelines. For example, a "CMC" derived using the 1980 Guidelines was derived to be used as an instantaneous maximum. If assessment is to be done using an averaging period, the values given should be divided by 2 to obtain a value that is more comparable to a CMC derived using the 1985 Guidelines. H No criterion for protection of human health from consumption of aquatic organisms excluding water was presented in the 1980 criteria document or in the 1986 Quality Criteria for Water. Nevertheless, sufficient information was presented in the 1980 document to allow the calculation of a criterion, even though the results of such a calculation were not shown in the document. I This criterion for asbestos is the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) developed under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) and the National Primary Drinking Water Regulation (NPDWR). J EPA has not calculated a 304(a) human health criterion for this contaminant. The criterion is the Maximum Contaminant Level developed under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) and the National Primary Drinking Water Regulation (NPDWR). 44 K This criterion is based on a 304(a) aquatic life criterion that was issued in the 1995 Updates: Water Quality Criteria Documents for the Protection ofAquatic Life in Ambient Water, (EPA-820-B-96-001, September 1996). This value was derived using the GLI Guidelines (60FR15393-15399, March 23, 1995; 40CFR132 Appendix A); the difference between the 1985 Guidelines and the GLI Guidelines are explained on page iv of the 1995 Updates. None of the decisions concerning the derivation of this criterion were affected by any considerations that are specific to the Great Lakes. L The CMC =1 /[(fl /CMC I) + (f2/CMC2)] where fl and f2 are the fractions of total selenium that are treated as selenite and selenate, respectively, and CMC1 and CMC2 are 185.9 pg /l and 12.82 j. g /1, respectively. M This criterion applies to total PCBs, (e.g., the sum of all congener or all isomer or homolog or Aroclor analyses.) N The derivation of the CCC for this pollutant did not consider exposure through the diet, which is probably important for aquatic life occupying upper trophic levels. O This state criterion is also based on a total fish consumption rate of 0.0175 kg/day. P This water quality criterion is expressed as pg free cyanide (as CN)/L. Q This value was announced (6IFR584438-449; Novembeir I4, 1996) as a proposed GLI 3031 aquatic life -criterion R This water quality criterion for arsenic refers to the inorganic form only. S This water quality criterion for selenium is expressed in terms of total recoverable metal in the water column. It is scientifically acceptable to use the conversion factor (0.996 - CMC or 0.922 - CCC) that was used in the GLI to convert this to a value that is expressed in terms of dissolved metal. T The organoleptic effect criterion is more stringent than the value for priority toxic pollutants. U This value was derived from data for heptachlor and the criteria document provides insufficient data to estimate the relative toxicities of heptachlor and heptachlor epoxide. ✓ There is a full set of aquatic life toxicity data that show that DEHP is not toxic to aquatic organisms at or below its solubility limit. W This value was derived from data for endosulfan and is most appropriately applied to the sum of alpha-endosulfan and beta-endosulfan. X This criterion is based on a 304(a) aquatic life criterion issued in 1980 or 1986, and was issued in one of the following documents: Aldrin/Dieldrin (EPA440/5-80-019), Chlordane (EPA 440/5-80-027), DDT (EPA 440/5-80-038), Endrin (EPA 440/5-80-047), Heptachlor (EPA 440/5-80-052), Polychlorinated Biphenyls (EPA 440/5- 80-068), Toxaphene (EPA 440/5-86-006). This CCC is based on the Final Residue value procedure in the 1985 Guidelines. Since the publication of the Great Lakes Aquatic Life Criteria Guidelines in 1995 (60FR15393-15399, March 23, 1995), the EPA no longer uses the Final Residue value procedure for deriving CCCs for new or revised 304(a) aquatic life criteria. Y This water quality criterion is based on a 304(a) aquatic Iife criterion that was derived using the 1985 Guidelines (Guidelines for Deriving Numerical National Water Quality Criteria for the Protection of Aquatic Organisms and Their Uses, PB85-227049, January 1985) and was issued in one of the following criteria documents: Arsenic (EPA 440/5-84-033), Cadmium (EPA 440/5-84-032), Chromium (EPA 440/5-84-029), Copper (EPA 440/5-84-031), Cyanide (EPA 440/5-84-028), Lead (EPA 440/5-84-027), Nickel (EPA 440/5-86-004), Pentachlorophenol (EPA 440/5-86-009), Toxaphene, (EPA 440/5-86-006), Zinc (EPA 440/5-87- (103). Z When the concentration of dissolved organic carbon is elevated, copper is substantially less toxic and use of Water -Effect Ratios might be appropriate. as The selenium criteria document (EPA 440/5-87-006, September 1987) provides that if selenium is as toxic to saltwater fishes in the field as it is to freshwater fishes in the field, the status of the fish community should be monitored whenever the concentration of selenium exceeds 5.0 µg/L in salt water because the saltwater CCC does not take into account uptake via the food chain. bb This water quality criterion was derived on page 43 of the mercury criteria document (EPA 440/5-84-026, January 1985). The saltwater CCC of 0.025 ug/L given on page 23 of the criteria document is based on the Final Residue value procedure in the 1985 Guidelines. Since the publication of the Great Lakes Aquatic Life criteria Guidelines in 1995 (60FR15393-15399, March 23, 1995), the EPA no longer uses the Final Residue value procedure for deriving CCCs for new or revised 304(a) aquatic life criteria. cc This water quality criterion was derived in Ambient Water Quality Criteria Saltwater Copper Addendum (Draft, April 14, 1995) and was promulgated in the Interim Final National Toxics Rule (60FR22228-222237, May 4, 1995). dd This water quality criterion was derived from data for inorganic mercury (II), but is applied here to total mercury. If a substantial portion of the mercury in the water column is methylmercury, this criterion will probably be under protective. In addition, even though inorganic mercury is converted to methylmercury and methylmercury bioaccumulates to a great extent, this criterion does not account for uptake via the food chain because sufficient data were not available when the criterion was derived. ee This criterion is a noncarcinogen. As prescribed in Section E of this regulation, application of this criterion for determining permit effluent limitations requires the use of 7Q 10 or comparable tidal condition as determined by the Department. ff EPA is currently reassessing the criteria for arsenic. gg This criterion applies to DDT and its metabolites (i.e., the total concentration of DDT and its metabolites should not exceed this value). hh Although a new RfD is available in IRIS, the surface water criteria will not be revised until the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations: Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule (Stage 2 DBPR) is completed, since public comment on the relative source contribution (RSC) for chloroform is anticipated. ii Although EPA has not published a completed criteria document for phthalate, it is EPA's understanding that sufficient data exist to allow calculation of aquatic life criteria. 45 Attachment 1- Conversion Factors for Dissolved Metals Conversion Factor Conversion Factor Conversion Factor Conversion Factor Metal freshwater CMC freshwater CCC saltwater CMC saltwater CCC Arsenic 1.000 1.000 1.000 1.000 Cadmium 1.136672-[(1n hardness)(0.041838)] 1.101672-[(ln hardness)(0.041838)] 0.994 0.994 Chromium III 0.316 0.860 -- -- Chromium VI 0.982 0.962 0.993 0.993 Copper 0.960 0.960 0.83 0.83 Lead 1.46203-[(ln hardness)(0.145712)] 1.46203-[(ln hardness)(0.145712)] 0.951 0.951 Mercury 0.85 0.85 0.85 0.85 Nickel 0.998 0.997 0.990 0.990 Selenium — — 0.998 0.998 Silver 0.85 -- 0.85 -- Zinc 0.978 - 0.986 0.946 0.946 57 TEXTILE EFFLUENT LIMITS SPREADSHEET BASED ON 40CFR410.70 SUBPART G STOCK AND YARN FINISHING SUBCATEGORY PERMIT NO: NC0004812 PERMITTEE: PHARR YARNS, INC.

07:42:17 -0400 To:<Hyatt.Marshall@epamail.epa.gov>, <jackie.nowell@ncmail.net> Sorry, I was out yesterday. I have a meeting this morning (Tues) from 9-10. Any time this afternoon work? I am open all day tomorrow (wed). Here is a basic summary of what I need to see so Jackie can be thinking about it: I was looking for the DMR data (basically the highest sample ever recorded) so I could check into reasonable potential for chromium and sulfide. We have water quality standards for both of these parameters that I wanted to compare to the guidelines values to determine if the WQ limits are more stringent and to see if reasonable potential exists. It appears that our sulfide WQ limits would be slightly more restrictive than the guidelines. Also, the limits derived for guidelines are much higher than the previous permit limits. No justification was given for backsliding or any info on an antidegradation review being performed to allow an increase in the limits. See the attached spreadsheet for a summary of the values that I am using to make these comparisons. I I which time of Jackie's is good for you, if any?

The permit modification is for the revision of limits for sulfide, phenols, and total chromium based on effluent guidelines for 40 CFR 410.70 Stock and Yarn Finishing Subcategory. Attached is the draft cover letter, draft permit and factsheet for Pharr Yarns. Pharr Yarns discharges into the South Fork Catawba River with a 7Q10 of 125 Yarns has an flow of 1 MGD fs and an average flow of 808 cfs. At 0.5 MGD, Pharr nstream waste concentration of 0.6 % . At the expansion the instream waste concentration is 1.2 %. The distance from the discl4iarge point to the mouth of the South Fork Catawba River where it enters the Catawba River is approximately 8.5 miles. North Carolina has an action level standard for copper of 7 ug/1 and the allowable copper concentrations for Pharr Yarns at the end of pipe would be 1136 ug/1 at 0.5 MGD and 572 ug/1 at 1.0 MGD. If the SC standard for copper of 2.9 ug/1 is applied, the allowable concentration for copper at 0.5 MGD is 471 ug/1, and at 1.0 MGD, the allowable concentration for copper is 237 ug/1. There was one value for copper of 41 ug/1 reported in the pollutant analysis done in Dec. 2004. This data value is substantially less than the allowable concentrations and would seem to indicate that copper is not a pollutant of concern for Pharr Yarns. In addition, Pharr Yarns has consistently passed its whole effluent toxicity test. Regarding fecal coliform, the recommended and existing limitations in the Pharr Yarns permit are 200/100m1 (monthly average) and 400/100m1 (daily maximum). Please contact me if there are any further questions regarding the modification of the Pharr Yarns permit.

A review of the spreadsheet used in calculating limitations based on plant production data and effluent guidelines from 40 CFR 410.70 Subpart G STOCK AND YARN FINISHING SUBCATEGORY shows that limits were assigned based on only a percentage of plant process flow. The correct effluent limits for sulfide, phenols and total chromium, while calculated on the attached spreadsheet, were not assigned in the 2005 permit. This abbreviated fact sheet recommends a modification in the limits for the three parameters. The previous permit writer had conferred with EPA about the monthly average production value that should be used and it was decided that 24000 pounds per day would be appropriate for calculation of daily maximum and monthly average limits. Pharr Yarns is currently having compliance problems meeting the existing limits for sulfide, phenols, and total chromium due to the stringency of those limits. This modification is to apply the appropriate limits as calculated by effluent guidelines. The correct limits are listed below and all limits should be in lbs/day POLLUTANT Sulfide DAILY MAX MONTHLY AVERAGE 5.8 2.9 Phenol 2.9 1.4 Total Chromium 2,9 1.4 EXISTING LIMITS TO BE MODIFIED POLLUTANT Sulfide DAILY MAX 2.3 MONTHLY AVERAGE 0.8 Phenol 1.2 0.4 Total Chromium 1.2 0.4 Fact SIleo. NPt')NS , t' 100, .S I 2 CHANGES TO THE PERMIT ■ Revised limits for sulfide, phenols and total chromium will be given based on monthly average production value of 24000 lbs/day projected for 2005. This monthly average production number was used to calculate both the monthly average and daily maximum limits. There should be no adjustment for percentage of process flow. The revised limits will be higher than those given in 2005 permit.

I noticed that your public comment period ended on May 19. I just received this today and hoped my comments could still be considered. The permit that is attached does not include the limitations you referenced in your letter. There seems to be a discussion of WET, nutrients and color, but not the guideline parameters that were allowed increased loadings. Could you send the appropriate permit or permit pag'to me for review? Based on the Fact Sheet, I do not see any record of an antibackslding or antidegradation review having been performed to show the need to relax the limits. This may have been done, but justification was not provided in the fact sheet. If this review was done, how was it decided that the additional load could be allowed? In SC, our Water Quality Standards regulation requires we evaluate alternatives to discharge (such as can they operate the system more efficiently to achieve existing limits, can part or all of the wastewater be land applied or sent to a POTW, etc) before increased loading will be allowed. We might also only allow a portion of the increase rather than the entire amount allowed by guidelines. This allows for additional protection of water quality. Also, none of the attached documents discusses the water quality criteria for chromium and sulfide in SC standards. I doubt with the dilution that it would be an issue, but I wanted to make sure these were considered. Melinda G.

Ms. Carolyn Bryant NC Division of Water Quality Environmental Management Commission/NPDES Unit 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 RE: Notification of Intent to Renew NPDES Wastewater Permits for Pharr Yarns (NC0004812), dated April 13, 2006. Dear Ms. Bryant: BOARD: Carl L Brazell Steven G. Kisner Paul C Aughtry, Ill Coleman F. Buckhouse, MD We are submitting comments regarding the above proposed NPDES permit modification, which would continue the discharge of treated wastewater into the South Fork Catawba River. Proposed discharge volume information was not provided in the above notice. According to DHEC's latest approved 303(d) water quality assessment (2004), Lake Wylie is impaired by copper levels above the Mill Creek arm at the end of SC Road 557 (CW- 197). Also, the Catawba River is impaired by copper levels at SC Road 5 above Bowater (CW- 041). South Carolina's standard for copper is 2.9 ugh. In addition, Lake Wylie (CW-027 located in the Crowders Creek arm at SC Highways 49 and 274) and the Catawba River (CW-014 at US Highway 21) are impaired by fecal coliform bacteria. South Carolina's standards for fecal coliform in the Catawba River are "not to exceed a geometric mean of 200/100mI based on five day consecutive samples during any 30 day period; nor shall more than 10% of the total samples examined during any 30 day period exceed 400/100ml." Please ensure that any permit modifications will not contribute to violations of South Carolina standards. Please send a copy of the draft permit modification and permit rationale to Mike Montebello, South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC), Bureau of Water, 2600 Bull St., Columbia, South Carolina 29201. Thank you for considering these comments when reviewing, and modifying this permit. If you need more information, p!ease contact Mork Giffin at (803) 898-4203 or giffinmat✓dhec.sc.gov for assistance.

Box 1939 Sylvania ram Systems, Inc. 100 Main Street McAdenville, N[ 28101-1939 Telephone: 704/824.3551 Facsimile: 704/824-0072 PHARR YARNS February 15, 2006 Mr. Sergei Chernikov, Ph.D. NPDES Unit NC Division of Water Quality 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, N.C. 27699 Subject: NPDES Permit No. NC0004812 Pharr Yarns, Inc. McAdenville WWTP Dear Mr. Chernikov: -r 7 r ;ti •ir1- • You may be aware that Pharr Yarns has been experiencing considerable difficulty maintaining compliance with the current permit effluent limitations for sulfides. This permit, issued March 1, 2005, contains sulfide limits of 0.8 lb/day, monthly average, and 2.3 lb/day, daily maximum. Based on our experience, we have found that, if we have any detectable sulfide concentrations in our effluent, the resulting calculated mass loadings (lb/day) will exceed the mass effluent limits. Therefore, we have been reviewing this matter on several fronts to get a better understanding of how these limits were derived. In the i course of this review, we have come across some interesting information that our consultant, Mr. J. Thurman Horne, P.E. (Horizon Engineering & Consulting, Inc.) discussed with you by phone on February 14, 2006. It is my understanding that, after discussing this matter with Mr. Horne, you agreed that it appears that the effluent limits for sulfide, phenol and total chromium, may have been assigned incorrectly in the permit due to a flaw in the derivation of the limits, and that this matter should be reviewed. The key to this problem appears to be in the "Textile Effluent Limits Spreadsheet" that was included with the Fact Sheet when the draft permit was first developed and sent to us by letter dated November 24, 2004 (copy attached.) As you and Mr. Horne have discussed, the error appears near the bottom of the first page of the spreadsheet, where calculations are made to allow for the contribution of BOD5, TSS and COD attributable to the domestic portion of the wastewater flow. The calculations correctly adjust the calculated BODS, TSS and COD limits that were derived from the federal guideline (40 CFR 410.70 Subpart G) to account for the contribution of these constituents from the domestic portion of the wastewater. The problem is that, in the course of making these calculations, it appears that a mistake was made wherein the limits calculated based on the federal guidelines for sulfides, phenol and total chromium, were reduced to 27 % of the allowable limit. Whereas compliance with this limit is determined by multiplying the concentration of the effluent times the total flow (combined process and domestic wastewater) to determine the mass effluent concentration, Pharr Yarns is currently being unfairly deprived of the full federally allowable mass limits for sulfides, phenol and total chromium. Page The limits for sulfides, phenol and total chromium, as derived from the federal guidelines, should not have been reduced and should be the correct limits for our permit. Therefore, the correct limits for these constituents should be: Sulfides Phenol Total Daily Max. (lb/day) 8.7 4.3 chromium 4.3 Based on: Monthly Avg. (lb/day) 2.9 1.4 1.4 aximum daily production = 36,2001b/day Monthly average production = 24,000 lb/day (Note: See attached email from Sergei Chernikov to Mike Church dated January 13, 2005) Federal Guidelines: Sulfide Phenol Total chromium Daily maximum 0.24 lb/1000 lbs 0.12 lb/1000 lbs 0.12 lb/1000 lbs Monthly Average 0.12 lb/1000 lbs 0.06 lb/1000 lbs 0.06 lb/1000 lbs Just for information purposes and as a supporting point of reference, we have attached a copy of the Fact Sheet from 1996 which shows that the former effluent limits assigned at that tithe, were derived from the federal guidelines in the correct manner which we have described. Pharr Yarns is hereby requesting that the current permit be amended or revised to reflect that the above limits for sulfides, phenol and total chromium are in effect. We trust that, based on consideration of the above information, you will act favorably on this request. We appreciate your assistance and consideration of this matter. We hope that this information is sufficient but, if you have any questions, need any additional information, or if there are any matters you need to discuss, please do not hesitate to contact myself (704-823-2310) or Mr. J.

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

Please review the draft very carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains. The draft permit contains the following significant changes from your current permit: • The daily maximum total residual chlorine (11tC) limit has been added to the permit. See the attached total residual chlorine policy memo for details. The facility is allowed 18 months from the effective date of the permit to comply with the total residual chlorine limit. This time period is allowed in order for the facility to budget and design/construct the dechlorination and /or alternative disinfection systems. • Limits for BOD, COD, TSS and sulfide were changed due to the changes in production volume. Please submit any comments to me no later than thirty days following your receipt of the draft. Continents should be sent to the address listed at the bottom of this page. If no adverse comments are received from the public or from you, this permit will likely be issued in early January, with an effective date of February 1, 2005. If you have any questions or comments concerning this draft permit, contact me at the telephone number or e-mail address listed at the bottom of the previous page. cc: NPDES Files Mooresville Regional Office / Water Quality Section Pretreatment Unit Aquatic Toxicology Unit Mr. Roosevelt Childress, EPA Region IV DEI-I NPDES Unit, 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699 An Equal Opportunity Allirmalive Action Employer ergei C ernikov, Ph.D. NPDES Unit 919 733.5083, extension 594 (fax) 919 733.0719 sergei.chamikov@ ncrnail net 02/15/06 11:38 HORIZON ENGINEERING & CONSULTING 4 PHARR YARNS TRAF NO.706 R06 PERMIT NO: NC0004812 PERMIiTEE: PHARR YARNS, INC.
