SUPPLEMENT TO EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS
AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
SPECIAL CONDITIONS
A. (2) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant
mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 2.1%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, Quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in
the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or
subsequent versions or "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure"
(Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months of
February, May, August, and November. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the
NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.

the permit limit, then multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in each of the
two following months as described in "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test
Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions.
The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the
highest concentration having no detectable impairment of reproduction or surviyal and the lowest
concentration that does have a detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of
"detectable impairment," collection methods, exposure regimes, and further statistical methods are
specified in the "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -
February 1998) or subsequent versions.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the parameter
code TGP3B for the pass/fail results and THP3B for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-3
(original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: Environmental Sciences Section
North Carolina Division of Water Quality
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no later
than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made.
Test data shall be complete, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all
concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved designate
signature. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if
chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is
required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test
form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the
report with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to
the Environmental Sciences Branch at the address cited above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, monitoring
will be required during the following month. Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or
tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the
receiving stream, this permit may be re -opened 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, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environmental controls,
shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later
than the last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring.

Permit No. NC0029980
A. (3) VARIANCE FOR 24-HOUR STAFFING REQUIREMENT
The permittee's request for continuation of the variance to Rule 15A NCAC 2H.0124(4), which requires

certified WWTP operators is not required during periods of complete influent flow diversion to the 3.2
MGD holding basin.
2. A certified WWTP operator shall be on call when the WWTP is not staffed. This operator shall report
to the WWTP in the event the facility needs to receive flow, if an alarm condition exists, or if unusual
conditions are observed at the facility during the periods of influent flow diversion.
3. When the WWTP is not staffed during periods of flow diversion, the WWTP shall be checked once
every 8 hours by the plant security personnel, and documentation shall be made of each visit.
4. Maintain and operate the computer system that monitors the influent screw lift pump and the
aeration basin blower.

SUMMARY
Miller Brewery facility is a brewing and packing facility for malt beverages. The process includes
brewing, fermenting, aging and packing. Wastewaters generated during the process are treated in
a 5.2 MGD activated sludge wastewater treatment facility. The treatment system consists of bar
screen, grit chamber, neutralization, equalization, aeration basins, secondary clarifiers, and
polishing lagoons.
The current permit was issued on July 2003 and expires on April 30, 2007. The permit includes
two outfalls. Outfall 001 is the discharge from the process wastewater treatment plant. Outfall
002 is the discharge from the carbon filter backwash. In the permit renewal application package
Miller Brewery is requesting to eliminate outfall 002. The facility implemented water reuse
utilizing the backwash water. Excess water that can't be reused will be send to the process
treatment system. Outfall 002 will be eliminated from the permit.
Miller Breweries also requested to include the exemption from 24-hour/7-day staffing granted on
September 2003. The exemption will be included in the permit.
Waste Load Allocation (WLA) The last waste load allocations was completed in 1996. Limits
for BOD and TSS were based in proposed effluent guidelines. The guidelines were never
finalized and the limits were modified in 2003 based on BPJ. The BOD monthly and daily limits
were based on concentrations of 38 mg/1 and 92 mg/1 respectively. TSS monthly and daily limits
were based on concentrations of 56 mg/1 and 135 mg/1 respectively. Current permit limits are
16481b/day monthly average and 3990 lb/day daily maximum for BOD and 2429 lb/day monthly
average and 5855 lb/day daily maximum for TSS. The permit includes monitoring for ammonia,
DO, temperature, pH, total zinc, total nitrogen and total phosphorus. The existing permit limits
are deemed appropriate.

Instream monitoring:
Miller monitors temperature and DO upstream at the Highway 14 bridge and downstream at the
Highway 700 bridge. Data collected is within normal parameters for temperature and DO.
Whole Effluent Toxicity:
The permit includes a chronic toxicity test (ceriodaphnia dubia) at an effluent concentration of
2.1%. The facility has passed all the tests for the period of 2003 to 2006.
Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA):
Reasonable potential analysis was completed for total Zinc. The allowable concentrations are 67
µg/1 for the acute value and 2339 µg/l for the chronic value. The maximum predicted
concentration is 199.8 µg/1. There is reasonable potential to exceed the acute value. Since zinc is
an action level standard, no limit will be implemented. Monitoring on a monthly basis will
remain in the permit.
Primary Pollutant Analysis:
Miller Brewery is not classified as a primary industry therefore it is not required to complete a
priority pollutant scan for the permit renewal application.
Regional Office Correspondence
A staff report from the Winston-Salem Regional Office was received on December 12, 2006. RO
staff recommends the permit be reissued.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES
• Eliminate outfall 002 — This outfall was eliminated by implementing a reuse system
for the filter backwash.

RE: Permit renewal NC0029980
Dear Mrs. Bryant:
C[ B�IDW:��rr
Please find enclosed Miller Breweries East, Inc.'s application for the
renewal of its NPDES discharge permit. Per the permit application and
previous correspondence, the following information is for your
consideration:
Outfall #002
Per correspondence from the Division of Water Quality upon issuance of the
renewed permit in September 2003, the division stated that Outfall #2 total
residual chlorine levels exceed water quality action criteria. It also stated
that Miller Breweries East would have a future limit of 17 ppb upon renewal
of the permit.
To address this future permit limit, Miller Breweries East is eliminating
Outfall 002. A project is in process to capture the backwash water from the
carbon purifiers which is the source of outfall 002 and reuse it in the utilities
department. Any excess water that may be generated due to low production
will be routed for treatment to the brewery's wastewater treatment plant. As
indicated on the application, this project is scheduled for completion in
March 2007. As such, a renewal of permitting for Outfall 002 is not
included in this application.

Extension of Variance for Rule 15A NCAC 2H .0124(4)
In further correspondence from September 2003, the renewal for the
exemption from the 24-hour/7-day staffing requirement was also granted. It
is included in the existing permit as Special Condition A (4). Miller
Breweries East, Inc. is requesting that this condition be renewed with new
permit issuance.
Quinton Hancock, who was the environmental engineer for the brewery,
resigned his position August. Please direct any questions or concerns to
myself, Becky Francisco at 336.627-2435. I can also be reached via email at

SUMMARY
Miller Brewery facility is a brewing and packing facility for malt beverages. The process includes
brewing, fermenting, aging and packing. Wastewaters generated during the process are treated in
a 5.2 MGD activated sludge wastewater treatment facility. The treatment system consists of bar
screen, grit chamber, neutralization, equalization, aeration basins, secondary clarifiers, and
polishing lagoons.
The current permit was issued on July 2003 and expires on April 30, 2007. The permit includes
two outfalls. Outfall 001 is the discharge from the process wastewater treatment plant. Outfall
002 is the discharge from the carbon filter backwash. In the permit renewal application package
Miller Brewery is requesting to eliminate outfall 002. The facility implemented water reuse
utilizing the backwash water. Excess water that can't be reused will be send to the process
treatment system. Outfall 002 will be eliminated from the permit.
Miller Breweries also requested to include the exemption from 24-hour/7-day staffing granted on
September 2003. The exemption will be included in the permit.
Waste Load Allocation (WLA) The last waste load allocations was completed in 1996. Limits
for BOD and TSS were based in proposed effluent guidelines. The guidelines were never
finalized and the limits were modified in 2003 based on BPJ. The BOD monthly and daily limits
were based on concentrations of 38 mg/1 and 92 mg/1 respectively. TSS monthly and daily limits
were based on concentrations of 56 mg/1 and 135 mg/1 respectively. Current permit limits are
1648 lb/day monthly average and 3990 lb/day daily maximum for BOD and 2429 lb/day monthly
average and 58551b/day daily maximum for TSS. The permit includes monitoring for ammonia,
DO, temperature, pH, total zinc, total nitrogen and total phosphorus. The existing permit limits
are deemed appropriate.

Instream monitoring:
Miller monitors temperature and DO upstream at the Highway 14 bridge and downstream at the
Highway 700 bridge. Data collected is within normal parameters for temperature and DO.
Whole Effluent Toxicity:
The permit includes a chronic toxicity test (ceriodaphnia dubia) at an effluent concentration of
2.1%. The facility has passed all the tests for the period of 2003 to 2006.
Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA):
Reasonable potential analysis was completed for total Zinc. The allowable concentrations are 67
µg/1 for the acute value and 2339 µg/1 for the chronic value. The maximum predicted
concentration is 199.8 41. There is reasonable potential to exceed the acute value. Since zinc is
an action level standard, no limit will be implemented. Monitoring on a monthly basis will
remain in the permit.
Primary Pollutant Analysis:
Miller Brewery is not classified as a primary industry therefore it is not required to complete a
priority pollutant scan for the permit renewal application.
Regional Office Correspondence
A staff report from the Winston-Salem Regional Office was received on December 12, 2006. RO
staff recommends the permit be reissued.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES
• Eliminate outfall 002 — This outfall was eliminated by implementing a reuse system
for the filter backwash.
