Cov NC, aU P, 40o ACUTE TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY) The permittee shall conduct acute toxicity tests on a quarterly basis using protocols defined in the North Carolina Procedure Document entitled "Pass/Fail Methodology For Determining Acute Toxicity In A Single Effluent Concentration." The monitoring shall be performed as a Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas) 24 hour static test. The effluent concentration at which there may be at no time significant acute mortality is 90% (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document). Effluent samples for self -monitoring purposes must be obtained during representative effluent discharge below all waste treatment. The first test will be performed after thirty days from the effective date of this permit upon the first discharge from the facility during each quarter, the quarters defined as January -March, April -June, July -September, and October -December. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code TGE6C. Additionally, DEM Form AT-2 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch North Carolina Division of Environmental Management 4401 Reedy Creek Road Raleigh, N.C. 27607 Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream. Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, subsequent monthly monitoring will take place in any month in which a discharge occurs until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly as specified above. Should no discharge occur during any periodin which monitoring is required, the Division must be informed of such in writing to the above address. Should any test data from either these monitoring requirements or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management 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 and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate retesting (within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements. 7Q10 cfs Permitted Flow O. 8'6 4 MGD IWC 4, 4 % Basin & Sub -basin Y 1) , 3 - 0 7 - / 3 Receiving Stream Ax kq %'i :/e ;-- County S'kh Date O7//er/,4 QAL PIF Fathead 24 Version 9/91 av\1L9 earoli yporo_ D3 - 07 -- /3 NCOO�1(q 1oo70 In0/„-17 / koCk PoJer / ton granc�� y tgpt 06 z ,�,�tt2i.

The wastewater generated at Carolina Solite passes through two (2) earthen settling basins (the second basin contains a mechanical means of pH adjustment using CaOH) prior to discharge. The settling basins may also receive some runoff from an adjacent sludge stockpile area. Approximately six (6) years ago, and unbeknown to the Water Quality Staff of this Office, Carolina Solite (CS) began using hazardous waste as their primary fuel source. As a result of this change in fuels, elevated levels of waste constituents have begun to show up in the wastewater and sludge removed from the wastewater treatment facilities (see attached sampling results). Recently, Carolina Solite discontinued use of hazardous waste as a fuel; and has applied for and received authorization (dated 2/20/90) to construct a new wastewater treatment facility. Carolina Solite intends on abandoning the existing earthen settling basins and will resume the use of hazardous waste as a fuel upon construction of the proposed facilities. As noted in the A to C, the proposed wastewater facilities will have capability for total recycle of the wastewater. Carolina Solite, however, has indicated in a conversation with Mr. Colburn on 3./15/90 that under normal operation, some, if not all, wastewater generated will end up being discharged to the Rocky River. Mr. Colburn also indicated that the proposed facilities should be constructed and available for operation on or about mid -April 1990. These facilities should be incorporated into the renewal of this Permit, as final action on renewal will not occur until well after the proposed completion date. As previously noted, elevated levels of a variety of waste constituents have been found in sampling results taken at the wet scrubber discharge (Outfall 001). It is requested that Tech Services evaluate the sample results and prescribe effluent limitations (and/or monitoring) which would effectively address the assorted constituents which currently are or may be expected in this waste stream. The Permit should, however, contain a condition which allows for additional monitoring should future situations warrant. Outfall 002 consists of pit dewatering wastewater accumulated through groundwater se'epage and rainfalls. Presently, this Office has no indication that this wastewater contains elevated levels of contaminants. Tech Services, however, may want to verify this fact prior to promulgation of the wasteload allocation. Pending receipt and final approval of the wasteload allocation, it is recommended that the NPDES Permit be reissued with any additional monitoring and/or limitations as deemed necessary by Tech Services.

A negative trend was noted at Jones Creek, while positive trends were noted at the Yadkin River, Rocky River, Long Creek, and the Little River. Trends at several locations were complicated by between -year changes in flow, with short-term changes due to effluent dilution, scour, or low flow during droughts.

For example, the only nutrient sample collected from this location in 1990 (February) recorded a NO2/NO3 value of 1.40 mg/1. Average concentration for the period of record was 1.07 mg/1, with maximum values exceeding 1.30 mg/1 each year. A small school discharge (0.05 MGD) is located just above our site on Big Bear Creek, but these nitrogen concentrations also may be related to nonpoint source runoff. PQ. Rocky River nr Norwood Bioclassifications from the Rocky River at Norwood have been fairly consistent for the period of record: High Good -Fair (borderline Good) or Good. EPT S values have ranged from a low of 22 in 1986 to a high value of 28 in 1990. The minimum observed in 1986 was associated with extremely low flows during drought conditions. Several large point sources are located above this site (primarily on tributaries of the Rocky River), including the Mooresville WWTP (5.2 MGD to Dye Branch), the Concord WWTP (24 MGD to the Rocky River) and the Monroe WWTP (7.0 MGD to Richardson Creek). These facilities (along with many smaller dischargers) apparently have a combined instream waste concentration large enough to impact the benthos during drought conditions. Conductivity values during June and September in 1986 were near 600 umhos/cm, indicating the potential impact of these dischargers during very low flows. Rex Gleason at the Mooresville Regional Field Office noted that Carolina Solite (perniited flow of 0.864 MGD), which is located approximately 6-8 river miles above the BMAN location, has improved its treatment by adding additional settling basins.

Good -Fair ratings were assigned in 1983 and 1986, while Good ratings were asigned in 1988 and 1990. Very few changes were noted in the composition of the benthic fauna between the 1988 and 1990 collections, but Plecoptera (Acroneuria) became abundant for the first time in 1990. PZ. Richardson Creek nr Fairfield Benthic macroinvertebrates have been collected from this location during surveys in 1987 and 1990. Data from both years have indicated Fair bioclassifications with very similar Total S and EPT S, indicating that there has been no change in water quality between years. This site is located below the Monroe WWTP, with a permitted flow of seven MGD and an instream waste concentration of 97 percent under 7Q10 flow conditions. 95 WHOLE EFFLUENT TOXICITY TESTING 0[SELF-MONITORING SUMMARY] Tuc, Jun 14, 1994 FACILITY REOL1IREMENT YEAR JAN MAR APR MAY JUN JUL, AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC CAROLINA MIRROR PERM CHR LIM:82% NC0006696/001 Begin:7/1/89 Frequency: Q P/F A FEB MAY AUG NOV NonComp: County:WILKES Region:WSRO Subbnsin:YADO1 PF:0.50 Special 7Q10:0.17 IWC(%):81.98 ' der. y 90 FAIL 91 — 92 — 93 — 94 — FAIL PASS PASS PASS NR,PASS PASS — — -- -- PASS — -- --- -- bR PASS PASS NR/PASS PASS PASS — — — — — — -- PASS PASS PASS PASS — -- — — — — — -- PASS PASS PASS FAIL.PASS — --- --- CAROLINA MOUNTAIN WA1TJ2 PERM CIIR LIM:11% NC0067954/001 Bcgin:9/1/92 Frequency: Q P/F A MAR JUN SEP DEC NonComp:SINGLE County: JACKSON Region: ARO Subbnsin: SAVO? - - __ - PI':0.006 Special 7QI0:0.075 1WC(%):11.03 Omer.

Goris North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources Division of Environmental Management P.O. Box 29535 Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535 Subject: NPDES Application NC0028169 Permit Renewal Carolina Solite Corporation Stanly County Dear Mr. Goris: Carolina Solite is in receipt (as of June 27, 1994) of your letter dated June 24, 1994. Since the promulgation of standards under subpart H of 40 CFR Part 266 and 270 which regulate the combustion of hazardous waste in Boilers and Industrial Furnaces (BIFs), Carolina Solite no longer utilizes hazardous waste as a fuel source for kilns no. 5, 6, and 7 when emissions are being controlled by the wet scrubber air pollution control devices (APCDs). Hazardous waste fuel is used only on kilns when emissions are controlled utilizing a bagfilter APCD. The bagfilter APCD is a "dry" system which does not contribute any wastewater discharge to the existing scrubber water treatment facilities (outfall p01) into the Rocky River. Therefore, this change in the process significantly reduces the amount of expected pollutants in the effluent discharge. Only conventional fuel sources are currently permitted for use on kilns no. 5, 6, and 7 when emissions are controlled using the wet scrubber system APCD. In summary, no significant changes have been made to our operation which we believe would adversely affect our discharge. Therefore, the current permit is believed to be more than adequate to address all expected pollutants. cD Page Two July 20, 1994 Mr. Sean D. Goris If you have any questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me or Adrianne McLain at (704) 474-3165. Sincerely, ))3 John M.

Parameters: ID321, Temp, Cond, pH, Turbidity. Special instream monitoring locations or monitoring frequencies: Monitoring should occur whenever facility is discharging. MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION & SPECIAL CONDITIONS Adequacy of Existing Treatment Has the facility demonstrated the ability to meet the proposed new limits with existing treatment facilities? Yes No If no, which parameters cannot be met? Would a "phasing in" of the new limits be appropriate? Yes No If yes, please provide a schedule (and basis for that schedule) with the regional office recommendations: If no, why not? Special Instructions or Conditions Wasteload sent to EPA? (Major) N_ (Y or N) (If yes, then attach schematic, toxics spreadsheet, copy of model, or, if not modeled, then old assumptions that were made, and description of how it fits into basinwide plan) Additional Information attached?

The monitoring shall be performed as a Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas) 24 hour static test. The effluent concentration at which there may be at no time significant acute mortality is 90% (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document). Effluent samples for self -monitoring purposes must be obtained during representative effluent discharge below all waste treatment. The first test will be performed after thirty days from the effective date of this permit upon the first discharge from the facility during each quarter, the quarters defined as January -March, April -June, July -September, and October -December. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code TGE6C. Additionally, DEM Form AT-2 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch North Carolina Division of Environmental Management 4401 Reedy Creek Road Raleigh, N.C. 27607 Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream. Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, subsequent monthly monitoring will take place in any month in which a discharge occurs until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly as specified above. Should no discharge occur during any period'in which monitoring is required, the Division must be informed of such in writing to the above address. Should any test data from either these monitoring requirements or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management 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 and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate retesting (within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements. 7Q10 0 cfs Permitted Flow 0..3 ((, MGD IWC /00 % Basin & Sub -basin YfiD OS-C7-/3 Receiving Stream ton IS rdn c 1-7 County S fnh Recommended by: // Date QAL PIF Fathead 24 Version 9191
