Sullins Dee Freeman Governor Director Secretary March 28, 2011 Paul Smart Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) P.O. Box 250 Cordova, NC 28330-0250 Subject: BIOMONITORING INSPECTION Burlington Industries, Inc. Burlington Industries -Richmond Plant NPDES Permit No. NC0043320 Richmond County Dear Mr. Smart: Enclosed you will find a copy of the Compliance Biomonitoring Inspection report for the inspection that I conducted on February 22 and 24, 2011. The inspection included the same objectives as that of a routine Compliance Evaluation Inspection plus a sampling inspection that included an Aquatic Toxicity (AT) test that evaluated the biological effect of the facility's discharge on test organisms. As part of the inspection a tour of the Wastewater Treatment Plant was conducted. All requirements, observations, and a suggestion are in the Part D Summary of Findings/Comments section of this inspection report. On February. 22 and February 24, Whole Effluent Toxicity samples were collected from the Burlington Outfall 001 24-hour composite sampler for use in a chronic Ceriodaphnia dubia pass/fail toxicity test. These aquatic toxicity samples were divided by the "true split" method and were sent to two Whole Effluent Toxicity testing laboratories. One split sample was sent to your commercial laboratory (Tritest), and the other split sample was sent to the Division of Water Quality Aquatic Toxicity Laboratory, (located on Reedy Creek Road in Raleigh). The results of both laboratories were in agreement: the Whole Effluent Toxicity (at a dilution of 7.0%) resulted in a "PASS". Test results for these samples indicated that the effluent would not be predicted to have water quality impacts on receiving water. The same effluent 24-hour composite sample that was collected by Burlington at Outfall 001 on February 22 was also analyzed for the following parameters (which are currently in your NPDES Permit): Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Ammonia Nitrogen, Total Phosphorus, and Total Nitrogen (NO2 + NO3 + TKN). These chemistry analyses were sent to the Division of Water Quality Chemistry Laboratory (located on Reedy Creek Road in Raleigh), and the results of these parameters were as follows: Biochemical Oxygen Demand = 26 mg/L, :Chemical Oxygen Demand = 140 mg/L, Total Suspended Solids = 65, NH3 as N = 0.03 mg/L, Total Kjeldahl N = 4.4 mg/L, NO2 + NO3 = 7.2 mg/L, and Phosphorus = 0.60 mg/L. 225 Green St., Suite 714, Fayetteville, NC 283 1-5043 Phone: 910-433-3300 \ FAX: 910-486-07071 Customer Service: 1-877-623-6748 Internet: www.ncwaterquality.org An Equal Opportunity t Affirmative Action Employer NorthCaroli.na ?atill'cff •:=r Mr. Smart March 28, 2011 Page 2 The previous Compliance Evaluation Inspection report coversheet (dated December 7, 2009) gave this facility permission to sample by the constant time/constant , volume method. During this CEI inspection, I understood from the two back-up ORCs that the facility has chosen to set the 24-hour composite sampler to the flow proportional sample mode. Both sampling methods are acceptable for this facility: the flow proportional method and the constant time/constant volume method. For either method that you choose, please review the 24-hour composite sample definition that is found in the NPDES Permit, Part II, Section A. Definitions, Composite Sample, and please ensure that the sampler is set up accordingly. During the inspection, I noticed corrosion on #2 clarifier catwalk. As a suggestion, by painting metal parts that are showing corrosion, it may be possible to prevent further corrosion that may eventually jeopardize the integrity of the structure. As a safety item, corrosion was noted on the chlorine gas cylinder joint connection. As a suggestion, when checking for leaks after rotating an empty gas cylinder for a full one, please do not put ammonia liquid on the fittings, because chlorine gas leakage will react with moisture to form hydrochloric acid (and this will cause corrosion to the metal). Please keep the parts of the chlorinator dry. At regular intervals, please check for chlorine leaks at all gas pipe joints, both inside and outside of the chlorinator. Please review the maintenance section of the Sacramento manual "Operation of Wastewater Treatment Plants" for information about chlorinators. Please send this Office a written response to the following three requirements, due by April 29, 2011: 1. The sample storage refrigerator (located in the WWTP laboratory) did not have a thermometer that measured in the range that is needed. Please monitor and document the temperature in the laboratory refrigerator on a frequency that will ensure that the temperature is <6 °C at times that Outfall 001 samples are stored in the refrigerator. Ideally, the refrigerator temperature would be monitored and recorded on a daily basis. At a minimum, please record the refrigerator temperature on the days that the refrigerator is used for Outfall 001 sample storage. Samples should be collected, transported, and stored at the official storage temperature requirement that is published in 40 CFR Part 136, Table II (Required Containers, Preservation Techniques, and Holding Times). The acceptable temperature range is 0 to 6 degrees Centigrade; however, the sample must not be frozen, especially for a biological sample. The intent of cooling samples to below 6 degrees Centigrade is to minimize any biological and chemical reactions such that the integrity of the sample is not compromised. Mr. Smart March 28, 2011 Page 3 2. In the future, please report the "<" sign on DMRs, along with the results of all applicable analyses results; this said because the past DMRs did not reflect that the results were below the minimum reportable limit. If you have any questions, please phone Mark Brantley at this Office (910) 433-3327. 3. Please accurately record the times that the field parameters (DO, Temperature, Chlorine, pH, and Conductivity) are collected; and, please record the times that the field parameter analyses are performed. Please do not rely on memory for estimating these times. On the day of this inspection, the facility appeared to be in compliance with the conditions of Burlington's NPDES permit NC0043320. I appreciate the time and professional courtesy that was extended by you, Alex Leonard, and H.T. Davidson during the inspection. If you have any questions or comments concerning this report, please feel free to contact me at (910) 433-3312.

Page # 6 Permit: NC0043320 Owner - Facility: Richmond Plant Inspection Date: 02/22/2011 Inspection Type: Bioassay Compliance Disinfection -Gas If yes, then when was the RMP last updated? Comment: Because domestic wastewater also flowed to the WWTP, chlorine gas was continuously applied near the production plant, at a location that was prior to the headworks of the VW TP. Corrosion was noted in the chorine cylinder building, and on the fittings of the metal gas cylinder joint attachment . When checking for Teaks, after rotating an empty chlorine gas cylinder for a full cylinder, please do not put ammonia liquid on the fittings because any chlorine gas leakage in the presence of moisture will cause corrosion. Chlorine gas reacts with water (in the ammonia water) to form hydrochloric acid. Please keep the parts of the chlorinator dry. Please check for chlorine gas leaks at regular intervals at all gas pipe joints, both inside and outside of the chlorinators. Pumps-RAS-WAS Are pumps in place? Are pumps operational? Are there adequate spare parts and supplies on site? Comment: Labs Are field parameters performed by certified personnel or laboratory?
