Permits & Engineering Comments:
This is a permit renewal for a class I facility. An application has not been submitted for
renewal. The facility has been in compliance with permit limits for the most part within the
past two years. The facility recorded that there was no flow four to five months within the
past two years. The facility is a 2.3 acre stabilization pond. The discharge has been considered
a direct discharge to the Haw River in the past. Unless the regional office objects to this
designation, the permit will be renewed as before. Recommend reissuance of existing limits and

SUBJECT: Cluster Model
Cape Fear Basin
Subbasin 03-06-07
A cluster model was performed for this subbasin using the Level-B model for the 1995
draft of the Cape Fear Basinwide Management Plan. A detailed report of the model and its
results is contained in the Cape Fear Basin Files.
The model was developed to investigate interactions between the following facilities:

Subject: Willamette Industries / Moncure Division
Request for Monitor Sampling Changes to Permit
NCO023442 03-06-07 Chatham
(Constructed Effluent Channel to Haw River)
Willamette Industries sent a letter dated February 22, 1993 requesting
NH3-N, Dissolved Oxygen, Total Residual Chlorine, Temperature, and Conductivity
be dropped as monitoring requirements from their permit, citing "that there has
not been a discharge from this outfall and because if,,, there was discharge from
this outfall these requirements would not be .indicative of any real
environmental impact to the Haw River, [due -to the large flows of the Haw River
when compared to this outfall]. The permitted discharge from Athis facility
constitutes 0.03% instream waste concentration to the Haw River.
A second issue addressed in this letter was' that of safety. Technical
Support concurs with the facilities concerns about potential safety problems
with taking these samples on the Haw River at the location of the Willamette
Industries outfall.
Due to the small proportion of instream waste concentration
produced by this facility and the saftey problems of retrieving samples at their
location, Technical Support finds that dropping ..the instream monitoring
requirements for this facility would be consistent with past applications of
policy to similar facilities. Effluent monitoring should remain as stated in the
draft permit with the exception of Residual Chlorine, which should be monitored
if the facility uses it to meet its Fecal Coliform limit. In conjunction with
dropping the instream monitoring, the facility should document on their DMR's
that the effluent channel has recieved no flow by having the operator write "NO
FLOW / NOT CURRENTLY DISCHARGING1on the DMR sheet.

Dear Ms. Sullins:

Resources -
Please be advised that we have received the draft permit
for the reference facility and offer the following comments
for your review. We request that these comments be
implemented into the permit to reduce the amount of
monitoring and testing for the permitted outfall.
We have attached a marked up copy of the draft effluent
limitations and monitoring requirements for outfall 001.
This is the only outfall for this NPDES permit and is the
discharge from a facultative lagoon. We have not had a
discharge from this lagoon for at least the five years that
Willamette Industries has been operating the plant.
We have marked the items on the draft permit effluent
limitations and monitoring requirements to delete nitrogen,
dissolved oxygen, total residual chlorine, temperature and
conductivity as effluent characterists to be monitored. We
would like to delete these parameters due to the fact that
there has not been a discharge from this outfall and
because if there was discharge from this outfall these
requirements would not be indicative of any real
environmental impact to the Haw River. The Haw River is an
enormous water body compared to the potential of the

facultative lagoon discharge flow. We request these
changes with the intent that if we did have a discharge
from this lagoon that the flow, BOD, total suspended
residue and fecal coliform would be parameters that would
characterize the discharge from this lagoon. We would like
to delete the requirement to test up stream and down stream
of the permitted outfall because sampling in the Haw River
is a safety problem. Again, we would like to use the
reasoning that the amount of water in the Haw River will
greatly reduce the effect of any discharge from this
lagoon. Also, we have not had a discharge from this lagoon
in previous years and don't expect to have a discharge in
the future.
Please contact our office if you have any questions
pertaining to this matter.
Very truly yours,
WILLAMETTE INDUSTRIES, INC.

PART III - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
At the last inspection, the RRO sampled the discharge
from this facility. The fecal count was only 8.3/100ml. If
this is representative, chlorination should not be required
and may do more harm than good. The RRO has requested that
the permittee sample twice more and to provide the results by
October 22, 1993. The results of the analysis should be
considered by the applicant before proceeding with this A to
