A- (3.) 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 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 February, May, August, and
November. 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 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.

NPDES No. NC0005762

A. (4.) COLOR REOPENER AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
This permit will be modified or revoked and reissued to incorporate color limitations and/or revised
monitoring requirements in the event color testing or other studies conducted by the permittee or the
Division indicate that color has rendered or could render the receiving waters injurious to public
health, secondary recreation, to aquatic life and wildlife or adversely affect the palatability of fish,
aesthetic quality or impair the water for any designated use.
In addition to the reopener the permittee shall immediately report by telephone any observable
instream color at downstream (post discharge) monitoring points noted to be visually dissimilar to
background (upstream monitoring point). Upon discovery of an observable instream color difference
the permittee shall notify the Division at either [phone] or 1-800-662-7959 (weekends &
holidays). The notification shall indicate the ADMI color units for upstream and downstream
monitoring points and the observed color (hue) in receiving waters. Should downstream color become
apparent (as observed by the permittee or by the Division) the permittee shall immediately initiate
corrective actions necessary to eliminate the color episode.
Information relayed by telephone shall also be filed by a written report in letter form within 5 days
following the first knowledge of the occurrence and also reported on the Discharge Monitoring Report
(DMR) post marked no later than the 30th day following the completed reporting period.
Color monitoring should consist of ADMI monitoring as previously specified (see below). Effluent
should be monitored seven (7) days per week during the summer months (low flow period) and (5) days
per week during the winter months. Upstream and downstream monitoring for color should be
monitored 3/Week during the months of June through September and 1 /Week the remainder of the
year [see Footnote 1 of Condition A.(1.)l. Flow measurements at the WestPoint Stevens gage upstream
of the intake should be recorded at the time color samples are collected (Monitoring frequency is based
on previous color episodes originating during weekend discharges affecting downstream usage two
days later - based on travel time of river.) All samples taken should have complete descriptive
recordings of the color in the sample container such as hue (distinctive characteristics and tint), clarity
(clearness of the color sample) and luminance (brightness or glowing quality) of the sample as it looks
in the collection container. Descriptions of stream color should also be recorded as color samples are
collected.
Color samples should be analyzed as follows:
a) at natural pH;
b) free from turbidy (True Color); and
c) Using a narrow -band scanning spectrophotometer to produce a COMPLE F1, spectral curve of
the visible spectrum (350-750 nm). Calculate and report results in ADMI color units from the
information indicated.
All color data which includes visual observations should be included with the monthly DMRs.
A. (5.) COLOR NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENT
The Division of Water Quality - Fayetteville Regional Office, the City of Lumberton Water Treatment
Plant, and the Robeson County Water Treatment Plant shall be notified whenever WestPoint Stevens,
Inc. personnel observe an instream color level which could adversely affect normal water treatment
operations.

Permit No. NC0005762
WestPoint Stevens Inc. WWTP
Scotland County
Dear Ms. Wilson:
We have received the above referenced draft permit and wish to submit the following comments.
In Section A.(4.) on color monitoring, an additional requirement was added from the previous permit stipulating
that all color samples should be analyzed at natural pH and at pH 7.6. This requirement was proposed in the
previous permit but withdrawn following our comments (please see attached July 29, 1994 letter from Mr. A.
Preston Howard, Jr.). This additional requirement adds a great deal of time and expense to the color monitoring
effort and experience has shown us that there is seldom an appreciable difference between the results. Adjusting
the samples to exactly pH 7.6 is tedious and often requires more than one test if the pH adjustment overshoots
that exact value. We request that this requirement be removed.
Also in Section A.(4.) there is a sentence that reads, Polymer feed shall be utilized when dark shades are being
dyed to reduce color in the treated effluent. This too was removed from our previous permit (please see
attached August 31, 1994 letter from Mr. A. Preston Howard, Jr.). This letter stated our original permit
mistakenly contained special condition " P', the use of polymer feed. The finishing plant has several dye ranges 0.-
and dark shades are typically being dyed on at least one of the ranges most of the time. This does not greatly
affect the color level in the effluent. In rare cases when ail dye ranges are processing long runs of dark shades,
polymer may be employed to reduce the color. We again prefer that this sentence be remove from the permit.
Otherwise, we are satisfied with the remainder of the permit. If you have any questions, please give me a call at
[phone].
Sincerely,
Yancy D. Helton

SUMMARY REG OFFICE
Westpoint Stevens operates a 7 MGD facility for the treatment of wastewater fro the
manufacture of yarn weaving and finishing and carpet dyeing and hianufacturit g. The yarn is
used to make towels. The carpet dyeing and manufacturing is part of a separate entity
performed in a building co joined with WestPoint Stevens (and the WestPoint Stevens WWTP
receives dye wastewater from the carpet manufacturer).
WestPoint Stevens also discharges cooling water from 2 outfalls into Big Shoe Heel Creek.
This facility discharges to HQW classified waters in the Lumber River Basin. Lcurrent data
indicate that WestPoint is discharging well below its permitted limits. The newly calculated
federal guidelines (based on production data supplied with the permit renewal) indicate values
above the currently permitted values. However, because this discharge is operating below its
current limits, and the discharge goes into HQW, no change will be made to the current limits.
The anti deg rule 15A .NCAC 2B .0201(d) has been applied to this renewal by allowing no
increase in existing permitted loading.
This facility was designated as a CIsIV facility June 28, 1999 [monitoring in the permit has
been modified to reflect Class IV].
TOXICITY TESTING:
Current Requirement:Chronic P/F © 9%, based on the flow of 7 MGD (also recommended with
renewal)
WestPoint Stevens has passed its whole effluent toxicity testing requirement since 1997, but
has had 2 recent failures this year (with passes in follow-up).
COMPLIANCE SUMMARY: BASED ON THE PREVIOUS 2 YEARS
WestPoint Stevens has had no limit excursions during the past 2 years (this is based on
computer download only) and appears to be well under its permitted flow of 7 MGD.
Toxicity failures have been followed up with "compliance events".

INSTREAM MONITORING:
WestPoint Stevens monitors instream for temperature, pH, BOD5, DO._ conductivity, and
turbidity. Dissolved oxygen levels reported were above the WQ standard of 5 mg/1.
Recommend that turbidity and BOD5 be eliminated. (Recent color evaluations on the Catawba
do not indicate that turbidity is a factor on color and instream BOD5 has not been found to
provide useful information regarding instream impacts).
Review of the instream color monitoring data do not indicate a significant difference between
upstream and downstream, therefore, instream color monitor has been reduced from daily to
3/week (J.une thru Sept.) 1/Week the remainder of the year. Effluent monitoring is still
recommended as daily.
PROPOSED CHANGES:
A comparison of current permitted values, actual reported values, and newly calculated values
based on production numbers provided in the permit renewal application were performed and
are listed below. Actual values have been well below current permitted requirements.
Therefore, no changes to permit limits are proposed with the draft permit.
A reasonable potential analysis was conducted on nickel, copper, zinc, as well as the effluent
guideline required parameters of chromium, phenols, and sulfides. Based on these analyses,
monitoring for nickel will be eliminated. Monitoring/limit for sulfides and chromium will be
reduced to quarterly (these cannot be eliminated because of the effluent guideline requirement).
Copper and zinc will continue to be monitored 2/month due to the potential to exceed the
action level standard.

Narrative Description of the Sludge Management Plan
NPDES Permit NC0005762
WestPoint Stevens Inc.
Scotland County
General
Residuals generated by the waste treatment plant are managed for beneficial use through land application at
agronomic rates on privately owned farmland. WestPoint Stevens contracts with a professional land application
company which provides operations, management and technical support throughout the contract term. There are
currently 2,773 acres permitted with the North Carolina Division of Water Quality under permit No.
WQ0008764. This permit details the performance standards, operation and maintenance requirements,
monitoring and reporting requirements and other general requirements. This permit was issued on August 12,
1997 and will expire March 31, 1999. A permit renewal application is currently under review by the NCDWQ.
Small volumes of residuals are beneficially used through land application under permit No. WQ0002377. This
permit covers 225 acres of on -site spray fields near the wastewater treatment plant.
Residuals are periodically wasted from the bottom of three clarifiers, thickened and then further treated through
mechanical mixing/aeration in a concrete basin. Land application sites are scheduled to receive residuals on a
monthly basis depending on residuals production, crop rotations and weather.
Operations Plan
At the waste treatment plant, liquid residuals are pumped from the one million gallon holding tank into sealed
tank trailer and tractor units using pumps and a loading tower. Residuals are transported to the permitted sites
in 6,500 gallon tanker units.
The land applier supplies a project manager to contact farmers and schedule applications. Prior to spreading, the
project manager flags the site according to the buffer zones listed in the permit. While flagging the site, a
suitable off-loading area is selected by the project manager (i.e., away from sensitive areas like ponds, drainage
areas, homes, excessive slopes, etc.) where the residuals are transferred from an over -the -road tractor -tanker unit
to a specialized industrial liquid spreader -truck.
The liquid spreader is equipped with a hydraulic vacuum/pressure pump which removes the liquid residuals from
the tanker into the spreader vehicle. Once the spreader vehicle's 3000-gallon tank is full, an alarm sounds to alert
the operator to turn the pump off and close the valve. The truck driver will then unhook the valve. The truck
driver then unhooks the 6-inch quick -connect hose from the spreader vehicle, taking care not to spill any liquid
left inside the hose. A special stand has been fabricated to allow the driver to rest the end of the hose 3 feet off
of the ground to keep the excess residuals from running onto the ground while the driver waits for the spreader
vehicle to return for another load. Once the second load has been removed from the tanker, the driver removes
the hose from the tanker and returns to the plant for another load.

Surface Applications (Liquid)
Surface applications of liquid residuals occur on hay/pasture fields or on crop fields which employ no -till
management systems. The spreader surface applies an even application of a liquid residuals between 5,000 and
18,000 gallons per acre, depending upon the amount of dry tons allowed by the permit and the percent solids of
the residuals. Calibration of the spreader has been predetermined through a procedure that involves adjustment
of both the speed of the vehicle and size of the rear pipe outlet. Once the spreader is full, the tank is pressurized
by the hydraulic vacuum/pressure pump. The operator conducts the spreading operation by opening the rear
valve, releasing the liquid under pressure onto a splash plate which sprays a 10-foot-wide path. Care is taken
to avoid overlapping. Generally the operator begins at the back of a field working to the front to avoid getting
"painted into a corner." This continues until the field is completed.
If available, applications may be accomplished by employing a farm tractor equipped with pull -behind tool bar
possessing surface, surface with adjustable nozzle , and injection capabilities. Depending on site conditions, and/
or the requests of the farmer, either of these technologies may be employed. Delivery of residuals to the site will
be the same as above by using over -the -road tractor -tanker units. Once at the field, a hose will be connected to
the tanker in line with a stationary pump. The pump delivers residuals to the pull -behind tool bar via high
pressure hose. Residuals are applied either by injection, surface or surface with adjustable nozzle using the
equipment mounted on the tool bar. The rate of application is controlled by speed of tractor and gallons per
minute delivered by the pump. The hose is dragged across the field and periodically wound on a large spool as
slack requires.
Surface Applications (Dewatered)
Surface applications of dewatered residuals occur on hay/pasture fields or on crop fields which employ no -till
management systems. The spreader surface applies an even application of the dewatered residuals between 10
to 50 cubic yards or wet tons per acre, depending on the amount of dry tons allowed by the permit and the percent
solids of the residuals. Calibration of the spreader has been predetermined through a procedure that involves
adjustment of both the speed of the vehicle and the size of the gate opening. Generally, the operator begins at
the back of a field working to the front to avoid getting "painted into a corner." This continues until the field is
completed.
Subsurface Applications (Liquid)
Subsurface applications usually occur on crop fields prior to planting a crop. This operation involves knifmg the
liquid into the soil through five shanks, 30 inches apart, supported by a metal tool bar mounted on the back of
the spreader. Three inch flexible hoses are connected to the shanks with quick -connects which carry the liquid
from the pressurized tank. The tool bar is hydraulically lowered to the desired elevation and is supported on each
side by air -filled rubber tires. As the tool bar is lowered, the shanks pierce the soil to the selected depth (6 to 18
inches) and the liquid is injected. Five small rows (5 inches wide and 30 inches apart) are left filled with the
liquid. As the spreader continues, the soil falls back to cover the trenches leaving little to no evidence of residuals
on the surface. The rate of application can be higher than surface applications because there is more soil and
surface area to absorb/dilute the residuals. Injection rates can go as high as 36,000 gallons per acre depending
on percent solids, soil conditions and/or allowable dry tons per acre. Hay and pasture fields with permanent
grass cover are not typically injected unless a special tool bar is used and the soil conditions are ideal.

Surface with Incorporation (Liquid)
This type of operation occurs on crop fields prior to planting a crop or sowing grass. The operation is the same
as surface application as described above, but with one exception --after the residuals are applied, a disc pulled
by a farm tractor turns the soil over, covering the residuals and mixing with the soil to a depth of between two
and eight inches.
Site Access Control
Since residuals will be applied to private lands, no trespassing is allowed on any of the sites. Fencing is in place
to allow for cattle rotations.
Reporting
A report showing the date, dry tonnage, gallons, cubic yards, field numbers, acres and pounds per acre applied
of nutrients and metals will be generated for each application event. Copies of these reports are submitted to the
farm operators and summarized to the State in the annual report.

Dear Mr. Helton:
The Division received your request dated July 14, 1997 for approval of four
chemical additives to the discharge at the subject facility. The proposed use of the
additives (Betz Entec 443, Betz Entec 367, Betz Entec 345A & Bio-Trot 88P) has
been reviewed by the Division's Aquatic Toxicology Unit.
After a review of the biocide information you submitted, the Division has
concluded that use of these four additives is acceptable at the stated rates and
dosage levels. Note that Betz Entec 443 is to be used at outfall 002 only and Betz
Entec 345A is to be used at outfall 004 only.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Charles
Weaver at [phone], extension 511.

To: Charles Weaver
Through: Matt Matthews tY-P-
From: Melissa Rosebrock VA ---
Subject: WestPoint Stevens
Biocide/Chemical Treatment Use
NPDES No. NC0005762 (002)
Scotland County
WestPoint Stevens has submitted Betz Entec 367, BIO-TROL 88P, 443 (002 only), and
345A (004 only) for approval. Data submitted by the facility concerning the dosage rate of each
biocide, degradation, system volume. average daily discharge, toxicity of the active ingredient(s) and/or
breakdown products, and minimum stream flow have also been reviewed and evaluated.
Please note, we have used the more geographically appropriate bluegill sunfish LC50 value of 190
mg/L in calculating the regulated limitation for Entec 443 (outfall 002). Note also, we have used the more
geographically appropriate Daphnia magna LC50 value of 15.6 mg/L in calculating the regulated limitation
for Entec 345A (outfall 004). These revisions did not change the final analysis portion of the worksheets
(part IV, page 3).
Calculations summarized on the accompanying worksheets predict that the use of these products at the
stated dosage rates and discharge conditions will not result in toxic impact to aquatic life in the receiving
stream. Therefore, the use of these products as biocides at WestPoint Stevens (002 and 004) are
deemed acceptable.
If there are questions concerning this review please contact me at [phone].
