Box 800 Kinston, North Carolina 28502 NCDENR Subject: NPDES Permit NC0003760 Kinston Dacron® Plant Lenoir County Dear Mr. Hamilton: In accordance with your application for permit renewal, received on July 30, 1998, and updated on June 29, 1999, the Division is forwarding herewith the subject NPDES permit for the Kinston Dacron® Plant. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated May 9, 1994. The Division received two comments during the public review period and has made the following changes as the result of those comments: • Facility Description. Mr. James Proctor of DuPont - Kinston noted that the permit's description of the treatment facility was inaccurate. The final permit includes the corrections Mr. Proctor suggested. • OCPSF Limits, Condition A.(2.). Ms. Dee Stewart of EPA Region 4 noted that the Monthly Average and Daily Maximum permit values for the OCPSF parameters were reversed in the draft permit. This is corrected in the final permit. In addition, the final permit includes the following changes: • The reporting requirements for Outfall 001 have been revised to include Total Monthly Flow, Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN), and Nitrate -Nitrate Nitrogen as monitoring parameters. These parameters are already determined in the course of monitoring Total Nitrogen loads; the permit simply requires that these interim results be reported on the facility's Discharge Monitoring Reports as well. The Division is adding same parameters to all NPDES permits in the Neuse River Basin to better enable us to verify the cumulative nitrogen discharge by the point source facilities. • The draft permit included two special conditions regarding Total Nitrogen. These conditions are in the process of being updated, so the permit also included a re -opener clause allowing the Division to update them at a later date. The final permit includes an updated version of these conditions. 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Telephone (919) 733-5083 FAX (919) 733-0719 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer On the Internet at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/NPDES Kinston Dacron® Plant NPDES Permit No. NC0003760 If any parts, measurement frequencies, or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter.

Part I, Page 5 of 8 Permit No. NC0003760 ` A.(5.) CALCULATION OF TOTAL NITROGEN LOADS (a.) The Permittee shall calculate monthly and annual TN Loads as follows: (i.) Monthly TN Load (lb/mo) = TN x TMF x 8.34 . (b.) where: TN = the average Total Nitrogen concentration (mg/L) of the composite samples collected during the month TMF = the Total Monthly Flow of wastewater discharged during the month (MG/mo) 8.34 = conversion factor, from (mg/L x MG) to pounds (ii.) Annual TN Load (lb/yr) = Sum of the 12 Monthly TN Loads for the calendar year The Permittee shall report monthly Total Nitrogen results (mg/L and lb/mo) in the discharge monitoring report for that month and shall report each year's annual results (lb/yr) in the December report for that year. A.(6.) ANNUAL LIMITS FOR TOTAL NITROGEN (a.) Total Nitrogen (TN) allocations and TN Load limits for NPDES dischargers in the Neuse River basin are annual limits and are applied for the calendar year. (b.) For any given calendar year, the Permittee shall be in compliance with the annual TN Load limit in this Permit if: (i.) the Permittee's annual TN Load is less than or equal to said limit, or (ii.) the Permittee is a Co-Permittee Member of a compliance association. (c.) The TN Load limit in this Permit (if any) may be modified as the result of allowable changes in the Permittee's TN allocation. (i.) Allowable changes include those resulting from purchase of TN allocation from the Wetlands Restoration Fund; purchase, sale, trade, or lease of allocation between the Permittee and other dischargers; regionalization; and other transactions approved by the Division. (ii.) The Permittee may request a modification of the TN Load limit in this Permit to reflect allowable changes in its TN allocation. Upon receipt of timely and proper application, the Division will modify the permit as appropriate and in accordance with state and federal program requirements. (iii.) Changes in TN limits become effective on January 1 of the year following permit modification. The Division must receive application no later than August 31 for changes proposed for the following calendar year. (iv.) Application shall be sent to: NCDWQ / NPDES Unit Attn: Neuse River Basin Coordinator Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 (d.) If the Permittee is a member and co-permittee of an approved compliance association, its TN discharge during that year is governed by that association's group NPDES permit and the TN limits therein. (i.) The Permittee shall be considered a Co-Permittee Member for any given calendar year in which it is identified as such in Appendix A of the association's group NPDES permit. Part I, Page 6 of 8 4 Permit No. NC0003760 (ii.) Association roster(s) and members' TN allocations will be updated annually and in accordance with state and federal program requirements. (iii.) If the Permittee intends to join or leave a compliance association, the Division must be notified of the proposed action in accordance with the procedures defined in the association's NPDES permit. (A) Upon receipt of timely and proper notification, the Division will modify the permit as appropriate and in accordance with state and federal program requirements. (B) Membership changes in a compliance association become effective on January 1 of the year following modification of the association's permit. (e.) The TN monitoring and reporting requirements in this Permit remain in effect until expiration of this Permit and are not affected by the Permittee's membership in a compliance association. A.(7.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QUARTERLY) The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 1.9%. 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 January, April, July, and October. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes. If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV below 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 survival 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: North Carolina Division of Water Quality Environmental Sciences Branch 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621 Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch 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 Part I, Page 7 of 8 • J � Permit No. NC0003760 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. A.(8.) BIOCIDES The Permittee shall not use any biocides in its cooling systems except those approved by the Division of Water Quality in conjunction with the permit application. The Permittee shall notify the Director in writing not later than ninety (90) days prior to planned use of any additional biocide which may be toxic to aquatic life, other than those previously reported to the Division. Such notification shall include submittal of a completed Biocide Worksheet Form 101 and a map locating the discharge point and receiving stream. A.(9.) INSTREAM MONITORING Instream monitoring requirements in this NPDES permit shall be provisionally waived so long as the Permittee remains a member of the Lower Neuse Basin Association and the Association continues to function as approved by the Division and the Environmental Management Commission. If the Permittee does not participate in the Association or if the Association ceases to function, the instream monitoring requirements in this permit become effective immediately; and the Division may reopen this permit by administrative letter to establish additional instream monitoring requirements it deems necessary to adequately characterize the effects of the discharges on water quality in the receiving stream. A.(10.) NON -DETECTION REPORTING AND DETERMINATION OF COMPLIANCE When pursuant to this permit a pollutant analysis is conducted using an approved analytical protocol with the appropriate minimum detection level and a result of "non -detectable" or "below quantitation limit" is obtained, the Permittee shall record that result as reported. For the purpose of determining compliance with a permit limit for the pollutant, the numerical value of that individual analytical result shall be zero.

DuPont de Nemours & Co., Inc., has applied for renewal of NPDES Permit No. NC0003760 for its Dacron® Fiber Plant in Lenoir County near Kinston, NC. The facility's current NPDES permit was issued May 20,1994, and expired January 31,1999. DuPont applied for renewal on July 30,1998, as required, and updated the application on June 29,1999. Because the original application was submitted at least 180 days prior to permit expiration, the permit was administratively extended and continues to govern discharges from the facility. The Division found DuPont's application to be acceptable and made a tentative determination to reissue the facility's permit with certain revisions. Public notice of the draft permit was published and comments were received. The Division made corrections and minor revisions in response to the comments received and is issuing the final permit with these corrections. To conform with the permitting schedule for the Neuse River Basin, the new permit would normally expire less than one year from the proposed issuance date The Division is instead re- issuing the permit for a near -five-year term. PERMITTED FACILITY DuPont's Kinston Plant manufactures Dacron® polyester resin and fibers (SICs 2821 and 2824). Operations include: • manufacture of polyester resin; • extrusion of resin for the manufacture of Dacron and other synthetic fibers; and • melting and re -extrusion of polyester fiber.

FINAL NPDES No. NC0003760 The facility has been in operation since 1952; it currently includes 12 production lines (approx.), varying in age, water consumption, and wastewater characteristics. In 1999, DuPont modified one of its production lines to manufacture a new resin. The raw materials, end product, and resulting wastewater are similar enough to the original process that the process change did not require modifications to the permit. Process wastewaters from the facility include those from polymerization, spinning, drawing, and finishing processes, from the on -site power facility, and from contact cooling water systems. Process wastewaters and sanitary wastes from the plant are treated in the existing 3.6 MGD treatment facility. Treatment includes rough screening, aerated flow equalization, aeration, clarification, sludge return, chlorination (operation optional), effluent monitoring, and sludge thickening/ conditioning/ drying. Discharge is to the Neuse River at Outfall 001, which is adjacent to the plant site. Waste sludge from the treatment plant has been thickened in recent years with a belt filter press; the plant recently returned to using sludge drying beds for thickening. Thickened solids are landfilled at a local Subtitle D facility. All influent flows to the wastewater treatment plant are monitored continuously for TOC and pH. When the system detects high -strength or other off -spec wastewaters, it automatically diverts these to an emergency holding pond so they can be fed into the treatment plant at a controlled rate. Process wastewater discharges from the Kinston Plant are subject to federal effluent guidelines for the Organic Chemicals, Plastics, and Synthetic Fibers (OCPSF) category under 40 CFR Part 414: Subpart C, Other Fibers; Subpart D, Thermoplastic Resins; and Subpart I, Direct Discharge Point Sources That Use End -of -Pipe Biological Treatment. Non -contact cooling water, steam condensate, and stormwater runoff are discharged with little or no treatment to two small tributaries to the Neuse River at Outfalls 002 and 003. Best Management Practices (BMPs) are employed to limit the amount of pollutants in these wastestreams. RECEIVING WATERS In order to protect the designated uses of its surface waters, North Carolina has classified each of its stream segments according to the established use(s) and has adopted water quality standards to provide the necessary level of protection for each. Where more than one standard exists (such as for multiple uses), the most stringent standard for a given parameter applies, in order to protect for all designated uses. The receiving waters for the Kinston Plant are the Neuse River (Outfall 001), an unnamed tributary to the Neuse River (Outfall 002), and Beaverdam Branch (Outfall 003). All are designated as Class C Nutrient Sensitive Waters (C-NSW). The designated uses of Class C waters are aquatic life propagation and maintenance of biological integrity, wildlife, secondary recreation, and agriculture. No additional uses are associated with the supplemental NSW classification. Water quality standards for Class C waters are specified in T15A NCAC 2B .0211. General requirements for NSW waters are defined in 2B .0223. In December 1997, the state adopted specific requirements to address the basin's NSW designation. The point source rule (2B .0234) establishes total nitrogen and total phosphorus limits for many dischargers in the Neuse River Basin, including DuPont. The entire Neuse River Basin has been listed on the state's 303(d) list of impaired waters, due to nutrient impacts from point, nonpoint, and natural sources on the Neuse River estuary. In 1997 the state adopted as rule a nutrient management strategy to restore water quality in the basin; and in 7 • .( -2- 1 , FACT SHEET - NPDES PERMIT E.I. DuPont de Nemours & Co., Inc. FINAL NPDES No. NC0003760 1999 and 2002, the US EPA approved Total Nitrogen TMDLs for the basin. The 2000 303(d) list again includes the basin but notes that the TMDL has been approved and is being implemented. CURRENT PERMIT AND FACILITY PERFORMANCE Permit Overview The current permit sets limits at Outfall 001 for flow, BOD, TSS, total phosphorus, dissolved oxygen, pH, chronic toxicity, and OCPSF organics. The BOD, TSS, and most of the OCPSF organics limits are production -based limits based on the federal OCPSF guidelines. In addition to these parameters, monitoring is required for ammonia, temperature, total nitrogen, fecal coliform, chromium, copper, lead, nickel, and zinc. The permit sets limits at Outfalls 002 and 003 for temperature and pH. It requires monitoring for flow, total residual chlorine (if chlorine is used), and, with the last renewal, several metals: arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, nickel, selenium, silver, and zinc. The Division has approved the use of certain biocides in the plant's cooling systems. The permit prohibits the addition of chromium, copper, and zinc except as components to approved biocides. The permit requires monitoring but sets no limits for these metals on the condition that the plant not use biocidal compounds containing these metals. Instream monitoring is required at Outfall 001 for temperature and D.O.; and at Outfa11003 for temperature. DuPont is a member of the Lower Neuse Basin Association (LNBA), a coalition of dischargers that, by agreement with the Division, conducts instream monitoring for its members. The instream monitoring requirements in the permit are minimal with the understanding that DuPont will remain an active member of the LNBA, which will perform additional monitoring as agreed. The permit includes a special condition to this effect. Other special conditions in the current permit include: • A standard requirement that the permittee employ only those biocides approved (by the Division) for use in its cooling systems. • An option to reduce the monitoring frequency of OCPSF parameters if three years' data justify it. • Clarification of compliance with permit limits when analytical results are "below detection." • A requirement that DuPont prepare and submit an engineering analysis by February 1, 1997, evaluating treatment alternatives and the feasibility of upgrading to tertiary treatment (required due to limited assimilative capacity in this portion of the river). Compliance History A review of effluent data from January 1998 through April 2002 indicates that DuPont has consistently complied with its monthly average permit limits. It also passed all 18 whole effluent toxicity tests during that period. The Division penalized DuPont for an apparent phenols violation in January 1999; however, that penalty was retracted when the lab results were questioned (DuPont had not detected phenols in the discharge in recent memory). On January 28,1997, DuPont submitted an engineering analysis as required in the special condition of its permit. It concluded that the existing WWTP provides near -tertiary treatment; but that the cost of ensuring consistent treatment to 5.0 mg/L BOD would be disproportionately expensive. The current permit has no limit for fecal coliform. However, effluent values have been erratic and at times unexpectedly high (including one greater than 60,000/100 mL ). -3- FACT SHEET - NPDES PERMIT E.I. DuPont de Nemours & Co., Inc. FINAL NPDES No. NC0003760 Requested Changes in Permit Requirements In its July 1998 application, DuPont requested several changes in the existing permit requirements: • reduction of OCPSF monitoring to once per year (Outfall 001), • elimination of metals monitoring where results show no water quality impact (all outfalls), • reduction of toxicity testing to once per year (Outfall 001), and • elimination of instream monitoring given DuPont's participation in the Lower Neuse Basin Association. PROPOSED EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS The Division has developed effluent limitations, monitoring requirements, and special conditions for the proposed permit based on the following: • federal effluent guidelines for the OCPSF industry; specifically, 40 CFR Part 414, Subparts C, D, and I; • federal requirements for secondary treatment of municipal wastewater, 40 CFR Part 133; • North Carolina water quality standards, including the Neuse River Basin Nutrient Management Strategy; • USEPA water quality criteria; • previous wasteload allocations; • the existing NPDES permit requirements and anti -backsliding considerations. The current and proposed permit requirements are described below and summarized in Table 2. Effluent Limitations - Outfall 001 Flow Limitations The current permit includes a monthly average flow limit of 3.6 MGD. The new permit maintains this limit. Production- and Technology -Based Limitations for BOD, TSS, and pH The federal effluent limitations guidelines for OCPSF facilities (40 CFR Part 414) require that permit limits be calculated using the facility's process wastewater flows. Where the process flows are variable, long-term average flows may not be the most appropriate measure of production, and EPA guidance recommends that the permit writer use discretion in selecting a representative flow value. EPA suggests that a maximum 12-month value from recent years may be appropriate under these circumstances. This approach is consistent with DWQ's policy for production -based limits at industrial facilities; under this policy, the production level for permitting purposes is based on the highest calendar -year production level. Table 1 shows the estimated flows for Outfall 001, from DuPont's 1998 permit application, and the percent contribution of each. Except for the addition of a small amount of treated groundwater, these are the same flows requested in the previous application (1993). -4- • FACT SHEET - NPDES PERMIT E.I. DuPont de Nemours & Co., Inc. • FINAL NPDES No. NC0003760 The estimated process flow in the application is 1.719 MGD. The actual flows at Outfall 001 have been significantly lower than the estimated value for this outfall for the past four calendar years: Year Flow (MGD) 1998 1.429 1999 1.479* 2000 1.453 2001 1.300 * Does not include September flows, which were high due to Hurricane Floyd. Table 1 also shows the breakdown of the maximum calendar year flow of 1.479 MGD, using the same proportions as proposed. Based on these calculations, the OCPSF process flow to be used in setting production -based limits is 1.011 MGD . Table 1.

Production- and Technology -Based Limitations for Organic Compounds and Metals Subpart 1, 40 CFR 414.91: 40 CFR 414.91 establishes technology -based effluent limits for a specific organic compounds and metals. These limits apply to OCPSF facilities with end -of -pipe biological treatment, including this facility. The limits are expressed in mass units and are calculated from process flows and parameter concentrations set in the rule. All of the parameters listed in this rule are included in the permit. Water Quality -Based Limitations OCPSF Organics and Metals. State water quality standards also exist for some of these same OCPSF parameters. The Division determined the maximum allowable effluent concentrations necessary to meet the applicable standards. In all cases, the technology -based limits were more stringent than the water quality -based is included in the permit as a daily maximum concentration limit. - 6 - k FACT SHEET - NPDES PERMIT E.I. DuPont de Nemours & Co., Inc. FINAL NPDES No. NC0003760 Nutrients. In 1997, the Environmental Management Commission adopted as rule the Neuse River Basin Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy - Wastewater Discharge Requirements (T15A NCAC 2B .0234). The permit includes limits for Total Nitrogen (TN) and Total Phosphorus (TP) as prescribed in the rule. These are 35,190 lb/yr TN, effective beginning in calendar year 2003, and 2.0 mg/L TP (quarterly average), effective with the permit. The Strategy allows dischargers to work collectively as a Compliance Association to reduce TN discharges to the Neuse estuary. DuPont has indicated its interest in joining such an Association. The permit includes a re -opener clause in the special conditions so that the Division can incorporate conditions related to the Association once those are developed (projected for late 2002). Toxicity. Consistent with Division policy, the permit includes a quarterly limit for whole effluent toxicity: chronic test, pass/fail, using Ceriodaphnia, at a waste concentration of 1.9%. Metals. An analysis of effluent monitoring data (1998 through 2001) for Outfall 001 indicates there is reasonable potential for the discharge to cause exceedances of water quality "action levels" in the receiving streams for copper and zinc. Because the Division has not adopted standards for these parameters, and because the discharge has passed the last 18 toxicity tests, the permit requires continued monitoring but does not set limits for these metals. Chromium, lead, and nickel are routinely detected in the discharge but not above allowable concentrations; as with copper and zinc, the permit requires continued monitoring but sets no limits. Proposed Monitoring Requirements - Outfall 001 2H .0500 establishes minimum monitoring requirements for discharges to surface waters, based on SIC of the discharging facility. Additional monitoring is required based on the effluent guidelines for OCPSF facilities. From January 1998 through May 2002, DuPont detected only four of the OCPSF organic compounds: bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (4 times), di-n-butyl phthalate (3 times), methyl chloride (3 times), and phenol (once, attributed to lab irregularities). None have been detected since October 1999. The draft permit maintains the current quarterly monitoring frequency for the first three parameters. Monitoring frequencies for phenol and the remaining organics are reduced to once per year; in the event a parameter is detected, quarterly monitoring resumes until such time that twelve consecutive samples are "non -detects." Refer to the draft permit for specific requirements. Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements - Outfalls 002 and 003 Wastestreams at Outfalls 002 and 003 consist of non -contact cooling water and steam condensate. Discharge is to a zero -flow stream and a minor stream, both tributary to the Neuse River. Potential pollutants of concern include temperature, total residual chlorine, several metals (arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, nickel, silver, selenium, and zinc), and pH. Flow. Because of the relatively low strength of the wastestreams and the variability in flow rates, the permit does not include a flow limit for these discharges. Water Quality -Based Limitations Temperature. According to the water quality standards for Class C waters, the discharges cannot cause the temperature in the receiving stream to increase more than 2.8 °C and in no case shall they cause it to rise above 32 °C for lower piedmont and coastal waters. The permit includes this limitation for each outfall. Total Residual Chlorine. Chlorine is commonly used a control bio-fouling of cooling water systems. A review of TRC data for the past three years indicates that the discharges often exceed the 28 ug/L -7- FACT SHEET - NPDES PERMIT E.I. DuPont de Nemours & Co., Inc. FINAL NPDES No. NC0003760 action level. Therefore, the permit includes limits for TRC at each of these outfalls, to become effective January 1, 2004 (approx. 12 months after the effective date of the permit). Metals. DuPont has indicated that it will not use biocidal compounds containing chromium, copper, or zinc. Assuming this to be the case, the current permit does not include limits for these metals and specifically prohibits the use of such biocides. Other metals have been detected or are suspected to be present in the discharge, and the current permit established monitoring requirements to determine their significance. An analysis of effluent monitoring data (1998 through 2001) for these outfalls indicates there is reasonable potential for the discharges to cause exceedances of water quality standards in the receiving streams for cadmium, chromium (002 only), lead, mercury, nickel, and selenium. The permit includes limits equal to the maximum allowable concentrations for each metal. 0. The pH of the discharges must remain within the range of 6.0 to 9.0 standard units in order to maintain water quality standards for Class C waters. Refer to the draft permit for specific requirements. REQUESTED CHANGES IN PERMIT REQUIREMENTS In its July 1998 application, DuPont requested several changes in the existing permit requirements: • reduction of OCPSF monitoring to once per year, • elimination of metals monitoring where results show no water quality impact, • reduction of toxicity testing to once per year, and • elimination of instream monitoring given DuPont's participation in the Lower Neuse Basin Association. Monitoring Frequency: OCPSF Parameters. Only three of the OCPSF organic compounds have been detected in quarterly monitoring since January 1998: bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate, di-n-butyl phthalate, and methyl chloride. The permit reduces monitoring for these parameters to once per year except for the three that were detected. If any of these is detected, quarterly monitoring resumes until twelve consecutive samples are "non -detects." Monitoring Frequency: Metals. Metals have been detected regularly in all three outfalls. Of these, only arsenic at Outfall 001has been found at low enough levels to warrant reduced monitoring and is therefore removed from the requirements. At Outfalls 002 and 003, monitoring frequencies are increased due to addition of effluent limits for metals. Monitoring Frequency: Toxicity. The Division's policy requiring quarterly toxicity monitoring for all major and complex discharges is well established. The Division holds that quarterly testing is necessary to demonstrate that wastewater discharges consistently meet the toxicity limits established to protect the receiving streams. Monitoring: Instream. The minimal instream monitoring requirements already take into account that DuPont is an active member of the Lower Neuse Basin Association (LNBA). The draft permit maintains the monitoring at existing levels. PROPOSED SPECIAL CONDITIONS Total Nitrogen. As described above, the permit includes a re -opener clause so that the Division can add special conditions pertaining to the Compliance Association when those conditions are developed (late 2002). The permit also includes a condition describing how Total Nitrogen mass loads are to be calculated. -8- • • FACT SHEET - NPDES PERMIT E.I. DuPont de Nemours & Co., Inc. FINAL NPDES No. NC0003760 Biocides. The permit again includes a typical special condition requiring prior approval by the Division for the use of any new biocidal compounds, such as those used in the plant's cooling systems. Detection Limits. The permit includes language explaining that monitoring results less than the method detection limits must be reported as numerical results (for instance, "<0.2 ug/L"). However, for compliance purposes, a zero value is used whenever analysis at the appropriate detection level gives a "non -detect" result. Instream Monitoring. The permit explains that the amount of instream monitoring is limited due to DuPont's membership in the LNBA and that typical requirements will be added to the permit should DuPont leave the group. RESPONSE TO COMMENTS The Division received two comments on the draft permit during the public review period and has made the following changes in the final permit as the result of those comments: • Facility Description. Mr. James Proctor of DuPont - Kinston noted that the permit's description of the treatment facility was inaccurate and provided an accurate description. The final permit includes the corrections Mr. Proctor suggested. • OCPSF Limits, Condition A.(2.). Ms. Dee Stewart of EPA Region 4 noted that the Monthly Average and Daily Maximum permit values for the OCPSF parameters were reversed in the draft permit. This is corrected in the final permit. In addition, the final permit includes the following changes: • The reporting requirements for Outfall 001 have been revised to include Total Monthly Flow, Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN), and Nitrate -Nitrate Nitrogen as monitoring parameters. These parameters must already be determined in the course of monitoring Total Nitrogen loads; the permit simply requires that these interim results be reported as well. The same parameters will be added to all NPDES permits in the Neuse River Basin and will enable the Division to evaluate the cumulative discharge of nitrogen by the point sources in the basin. • Two special conditions in the draft permit contained preliminary language regarding calculation of TN loads and determination of compliance with TN limits; and a re -opener clause allowing the Division to incorporate the final language at a later date. The final permit includes the updated version of these conditions. -9- a�tEo sr J444, UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY �4" eh r REGION 4 o ��� Q ATLANTA FEDERAL CENTER s�z 61 FORSYTH STREET Tq( eclat ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30303-8960 October 23, 2002 Mr. Dave Goodrich, Supervisor NPDES Unit Division of Water Quality North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 OCT 2 8 2002 u_) S}^ y.,;;CE bi:il {i SUBJECT: Review of Draft Permit - E.I.

Amos Plant Manager 4 MEMO TO FILE From: Subject: Mike Templeton NPDES Unit Proposal for New Process Line DuPont Kinston Facility NPDES Permit No. NC0003760 Lenoir County Neuse River Basin Date: July 1, 1999 Mike Gell, DuPont Engineering, called about DuPont's plans to make a new product at the Kinston plant. The new product is still secret. MG said it represents a major breakthrough in synthetic fibers, comparable to the release of Dacron. They hope to have it in operation by year's end. He was calling to let us know about the plans and to find out what we will require of them. The new product is a polyester resin similar to some already made at the plant. It is made with essentially the same chemical process they already use; the key difference is that propylene glycol is the main feedstock instead of ethylene glycol. They will be able to use an existing process line with only limited modifications. DuPont made some pilot runs and then ran treatability and chemical tests on the resulting wastewater. They didn't find major changes in the wastewater characteristics, treatability, etc. They did find propylene glycol in the wastewater, as expected, and "small amounts" of acrolein. Both seemed readily degradable (not too surprising because the WWTP mixed liquor is well acclimated to the other process wastewaters). MG is preparing a written proposal for the project and will send that to Dave G. in the next week to ten days. After reviewing that, we will probably want to set up a site visit and meet with DuPont to hear more about the proposal and discuss DWQ requirements. By that time, we may know more about the schedule for getting the Neuse permits reissued. Other notes: The new process still falls under the polyester resin requirements in the OCPSF rules, so their permit limits should not change much, if at all. The permit does not have a limit for acrolein, so we may need to add one. They will not need an additional flow allowance. Nitrogen may be a big issue for the plant. The process wastewaters are nitrogen -poor, except for the small amount of sanitary wastes they have, and they have to add 5-7 lb N per 100 lb BOD. With 12 product lines and the intermittent tank washings (high -strength wastes), the influent wastewater strength is highly variable, meaning that controlling the N addition to minimize the excess is very difficult. In the last year, they have exceeded their monthly allocation and/or equivalent TN concentration in eleven months. A reduced allocation will be tough to meet and will not be well received by the company. Wastewater flow is down significantly, due to water conservation efforts at the plant. This makes meeting the OCPSF concentration limits more difficult. dPOIt DuPont Fibers June 29, 1999 To: David Goodrich NPDES Unit Supervisor NC DENR Division of Water Quality P.O. Box 29535 Raleigh, NC 27626-0535 Subject: Modification of NPDES Permit Application E.I. DuPont Co. Inc. Kinston Plant NPDES Permit # NC0003760 Lenoir County Dear Mr. Goodrich: DuPont Fibers P.O. Box 800 Kinston, North Carolina 28502-0800 Phone: (919) 522-6111 The E.I. DuPont Co. Inc. manufacturing plant located at Highway 11 north, Kinston, NC in Lenoir county requests a change to it's NPDES permit application which was presented to the State in August, 1998. Since the permit application for Permit # NC0003760 was submitted in July, 1998 the plant has been informed that it may be the manufacturing for a new polyester resin. We do not believe any major modifications will be necessary to accommodate this new product since it is a polyester resin/fiber and falls in the Organic Chemicals , Plastics and Synthetic Fibers (OCPSF) Categorical effluent guidelines. While the plant is not currently capable of manufacturing the new product we expect that the manufacturing area projects will be complete in the next 12 to 24 months. Since the process chemistry is slightly different for the new resin there may be some organic chemicals in the wastewater that are currently not present. To address this the plant has conducted bench scale wastewater treatment testing that confirms the wastewater from the new process is compatible with the plant treatment system, and that the site can meet the current permit discharge limits while manufacturing this new product. We have included under a confidential business information heading the information on the projected loading of the new organics and bench scale treatability study data. We would like to discuss the permit application and the status of the new manufacturing process with you at your office or at the plant, whichever is convenient for you. Since you have not visited the site it may be an opportunity to become more familiar with the DuPont manufacturing site at Kinston, NC.

Other Special Items: PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS **Please note the highlighted treatment units under Part II No. 1(e), these units should be included in the new permit language. E.I. DuPont has requested six changes and comments concerning the permit renewal process. These requests are outlined and stated in the permit renewal package. (1) DuPont has asked for a reduction of OCPSF monitoring to one per year as required by federal statutes. They do not feel that there is just cause for more frequent monitoring based on the data compiled in the renewal package. (2) DuPont has asked to eliminate monitoring on metals where results show no WQ impact. According to the most recent DMR data all of the metals they have asked to eliminate are below freshwater water standards except for copper. In the month of April copper was at a level of 375 ug/1. All of the metals requested to be eliminated should be considered for exclusion except for copper, which has shown to be significantly higher than the freshwater standard. (3) DuPont has asked to reduce the Aquatic Toxicity monitoring requirement to once per year. The regional Office does not support this request for waters entering the Neuse River, which is nutrient sensitive. (4) DuPont has asked for a mass limit for Phosphorous and discharge limits for Nitrogen be eliminated since their involvement with the Lower Neuse • River Nitrogen Association. These concerns should be handled by the new Neuse River Management Strategy. (5) A review of the fecal coliform discharge levels from DuPont',s most recent twelve-month period is of concern to the Regional Office. The following is representative of the number of colonies DuPont routinely discharges to the Neuse River. Aug '97 - 210 Sept '97 - 320 Oct '97 - 900 Nov '97 - 420 Dec '97 - 320 May '98 - 5000 Mar '98 - 140 Feb '98 - 410 Apr '98 - 170 Jun '98 - 380 * Based on these numbers from DuPont's discharge, the Regional Office recommends a fecal coliform limit be replaced on the discharge permit. ** DuPont has made it very clear that they would like to have the permit writer to visit the facility before the draft permit is issued. During the last permit renewal process in 1994 DuPont entertained the permit writer and found their experience to be rewarding. DuPont would like to have a similar situation during this permit renewal process. It is recommended that this permit be reissued.
