Bill Trent asked me to reply to the inquiries posed in your letter of July 3, 2002, following your
compliance evaluation inspection at the wastewater treatment plant at the Riverplace
Commerce Center.
In answer to your first inquiry, the water in the wastewater treatment facility is composed of
stormwater and sanitary waste generated in the Riverplace Commerce Center. The flow of
sanitary wastewater is greatly reduced from when the facility was operated by Burlington
Industries, but it is treated in the wastewater treatment facility as it has always been. The
reductions in flow have been reported to the Division of Water Quality and discussed at length
with Mike Templeton of the NPDES Permits Unit who is preparing a modification of the
permit to reflect the revised flow regime. Of course, the wastewater treatment facility was
designed for far larger industrial wastewater flows (5 MGD), so the stormwater component of
the influent flow to the W WTP represents a much higher percentage of the total flow than it
has in the past. I have spoken with Anthony Branch, the Operator -in -Responsible Charge, who
indicated that when he indicated that the content of the basin was stormwater, he was speaking
in relative terms. All wastewater generated at the Riverplace Commerce Center is routed to
and treated in the wastewater treatment plant.

I am also told by Mr. Branch that wastewater flows have been so dramatically reduced since
the transfer of the facility from Burlington Industries to Riverplace Commerce that no sludge
has been relieved from the system since the transfer. Sludge had been removed shortly before
the transfer, and the decrease in waste inputs has been so marked that sludge has not
accumulated to the point that Mr. Branch has determined it necessary to relieve the system.
I hope this information answers your questions adequately. Please let me know if you need
any additional information or have any other questions.

SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Riverplace, L. L. C. WWTP
NDPES Permit No. NC0001376
Wake County
Mitch Hayes of the Raleigh Regional Office performed the subject inspection on
June 26, 2002. The assistance of Anthony Branch was appreciated. Below is a list of
findings during our inspection.
1. The subject permit became effective March 1, 1999 and expired on January 31,
1999. Application for renewal of the subject permit was made in the year 2000.
A name / ownership change form was also requested in 2001. Mike Templeton
is currently reviewing the permit. You are reminded to operate under the last
issued permit until a new permit is issued.
2. The 5.0 MGD waste treatment facility consists of a mechanical bar screen,
influent parshall flume, aerated equalization pond, two aeration basins, RAS
splitter box, sludge pump station, three clarifiers, porous asphalt drying bed,
eight sand drying beds, aerobic digester, aerated polishing pond with level
control, effluent flow measurement / sampling flume and common effluent with
dual submerged pipes. The waste treatment facility was not in service at the
time of inspection due to no influent flow. There was no effluent discharge.
There is some water / wastewater in the clarifiers, digester, and polishing pond.
Anthony Branch stated that the only water in the waste treatment facility is
stormwater. It is noted that there are some businesses located in the main
building of Riverplace Commerce Center. Please state where the wastewater

i
generated from Riverplace Commerce Center is being processed.
3. The aerators in the clarifiers number 1 and 2 are on an automatic timer to
operate ever morning. There is no sludge on the nine drying beds. Anthony
Branch stated that the last time sludge was removed from the drying beds was
in 1996. Mr. Branch did not know when the last time sludge was removed from
the clarifiers or digester. Please inform this office when sludge was last removed
from the digesters and clarifiers and whom this was contracted out to. Please
state how much sludge remains in the digesters and clarifiers.
4. Anthony Branch analyses temperature, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, and
records time and flow. Environment 1 analyses all other permit requirements.
Please note that laboratory facilities or individuals performing and reporting
analyses for the following field parameters must be certified for these
parameters: pH, chlorine, conductivity, total suspended solids, dissolved
oxygen, and temperature. Please contact Connie Brower in Lab Certification at
919. 733.3908 for more information. Operator's log and calibration log for pH
are on site and being maintained.
5. Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) for the period January 2001 to January
2002 were reviewed for compliance with permit limits and monitoring
requirements. The only flow recorded during the period was during the months
of March 2001 and January 2002. No violations were noted. Commercial lab
results and chain of custody records were compared with data submitted on the
DMR for the month of January 2002. No discrepancies were noted. Comparison
of the facility's records with the data submitted on the January 2002 DMR found
no discrepancies. Acute toxicity test result for March 2001 is recorded as Pass.
Please respond to items 2 and 3 by August 02, 2002. If there are any questions concerning
this report or inspection, please contact me at 919.571.4700, extension 255.

I am providing on behalf of Riverplace, L.L.C., responses to the inquiries in your letter to John
Elmore of August 9, 2001. The letter was received by Mr. Elmore on August 16, 2001. 1
intended to submit this response to you by August 31, 2001, and I apologize for my tardiness in
that regard. I include below responses to inquiries 1, 5, 7 and 9, per your letter:
1. The current permit for this facility was issued on March 1, 1995 and expired on January 31,
1999. The ORC stated that the permitting branch has not sent RiverPlace a new permit so they
are still operating under the expired one. This taciliry has been permined to discharge 5.0
MGD however due to the lack of flow coming through the plant its discharges are far below
the permitted flow requirements.
Response: I spoke with Mike Templeton of the Division of Water Quality about the status of
this permit. He indicated that he is continuing his review. 1 believe that Burlington Industries
had made a timely and sufficient application for renewal of the NPDES application and upon
the acquisition of the facility by Riverplace, L.L.C., a name change transfer was sought.
Riverplace had earlier submitted, at Mr. Tcmplewn's request, additional information and a
supplemental permit application, based on the difference of use of the facility by Burlington
Industries and Riverplace.

>. Due to the low flow the plant was not presently in the process of returning activated sludge.
The aerators in the activated sludge lagoons were operational at the time of inspection. How
do you keep the RAS from becoming septic?
Response: The aerators are operated manually to maintain a D.O. level between 4mg/L and S
mg/L. An automatic timing system is being installed at the site.
7. There was not a back up source of power on this site. It is strongly recommended that a
back up source of power be added to the treatment works system.
Response: Riverplace will investigate further the technical jµstification and cost-effectiveness
of a back-up power system at your suggestion. Presently, the capacity of the W WTP is so
oversized relative to the needs of the facility, there is ample storage capacity to withstand any
reasonable power outage interval without possibility of discharge.
9. The Flow meter was calibrated by Mike Outlaw on 10/10/00. There was no staff gauge to
do the ten percent check of the tlow meter. You are reminded that a device needs to be placed
in the outfall so that a ten percent check of the flow meter can be done.
Response: Enviroliak, environmental contractor and certified operator for R.iverplace, has
contracted with Atlantic Services for the installation of two state' gauges during the second
week of September,
I trust these responses are satisfactory. if you have any further questions regarding this matter,
please feel free to contact me or William E. Trent III, at this address. Thank you for your
cooperation and patience.

Dear Mr Elmore:
The subject inspection was performed on June 6, 2001 and was performed by
Daniel Gerald of my Staff. The cooperation of Mr. Anthony Branch, the ORC, was
greatly appreciated Mr. Branch has a grade III license.The following items were
noted during the inspection:
1. The current permit for this facility was issued on March 1, 1995 and expired on
January 31,1999. The ORC stated that the permitting branch has not sent River Place
a new permit so they are still operating under the expired one. This facility has been
permitted to discharge 5.0 MGD however due to the lack of flow coming through the
plant its discharges are far below the permitted flow requirements.
2. The treatment process consists of a mechanical bar screen, aerated flow
equalization lagoon, 2 aerated lagoons, 3 clarifiers, polishing pond, and a digestor.
3.The sludge is disposed by Environmental Waste Recycling, but River Place holds
the permit for the sludge handling and application under permit number WQ0001462
which was issued on July 3 1997 and shall expire June 30, 2002.
4.Only two of the four aerators were operational during the time of the inspection.
The two floating aerators operated in a satisfactory manner when they were triggered.

Mr. Branch remarked that the two stationary turbine aerators had not been in operation since
Burlington Industries was in control of the site. The mechanical bar screen was not operation at the
time of the inspection. Mr. Branch said that these items were taken off line to save money.
5. Due to the low flow the plant was not presently in the process of returning activated sludge. The
aerators in the activated sludge lagoons were operational at the time of inspection.How do you keep
the RAS from becoming septic?
6. A review of the ORC log book revealed detailed entries of everyday the operator was on site.
Please be sure to start keeping the calibration records for the field meters in a different log book.The
maintenance schedule is being kept by Jesse Williams.
7. There was not a back up source of power on this site. It is strongly recommended that a back up
source of power be added to the treatment works system.
8.The DMR reports form March 2001 to February 2000 appeared to be accurate. The parameter tests
are performed by a contract laboratory no transcription errors were noted during the cursory review
of the results and DMR reports. There were only three discharges the entire year.
9. The Flow meter was calibrated by Mike Outlaw on 10/10/00. There was no staff gauge to do the
ten percent check of the flow meter. You are reminded that a device needs to be placed in the outfall
so that a ten percent check of the flow meter can be done.
10. The effluent sampler was being properly maintained. The thermometers were reading 4 degress
celcius which complies with the 0<4 celcius collection protocol. Mr. Branch said he was having
problems with the samples freezing so he started putting a bag of ice in the sampler.
Please respond in writing to items 1, 5, 7, and 9 within two weeks of receiving this
correspondence. You are reminded that any violation of the NPDES permit is subject to enforcement
action by the Division of Water Quality/EPA.

8.The DMR reports form March 2001 to February 2000 appeared to be accurate. The parameter tests
are performed by a contract laboratory no transcription errors were noted during the cursory review
of the results and DMR reports. There were only three discharges the entire year.
9. The Flow meter was calibrated by Mike Outlaw on 10/10/00. There was no staff gauge to do the
ten percent check of the flow meter. You are reminded that a device needs to be placed in the outfall
so that a ten percent check of the flow meter can be done.
10. The effluent sampler was being properly maintained. The thermometers were reading 4 degress
celcius which complies with the 0<4 celcius collection protocol. Mr. Branch said he was having
problems with the samples freezing so he started putting a bag of ice in the sampler.
Please respond in writing to items 1, 5, 7, and 9 within two weeks of receiving this
correspondence. You are reminded that any violation of the NPDES permit is subject to enforcement
action by the Division of Water Quality/EPA.
If you have any questions concerning this information please contact Mr. Danny Gerald at
919-571-4700 ext. 257.

Subject: Burlington Industries, Inc., Wake Finishing Plant
NPDES Permit No. NC0001376
Response to 3/2/99 Compliance Evaluation Inspection and Notice of Violation (NOV)
Dear Mr. Schuster;
Burlington Industries (Burlington) has reviewed the 3/2/99 Compliance Evaluation Inspection and
NOV. As requested, included below is Burlington's response to items 4, 8, 9, and 10. In
addition, we are also responding to item 6 concerning sampling frequency. A brief summary of
each item is included in italic, followed by Burlington's response.
4. "....,we are only requiring upstream and downstream sampling on days when the facility is
discharging, up to a maximum frequency as required in the permit. In the years worth of
DAM data which was checked however, there were no upstream or downstream data
available. This lack of sampling is a violation of the permit conditions, and must be
corrected immediately. "
Discharge only occurred on 4 days during 1998, February 4 & 6, and May 13 & 15. In -
stream monitoring was completed on those days at 1 upstream and 1 downstream location.
(The permit requires 2 downstream locations.) Due to an oversight, the results of this in -
stream monitoring were not submitted. The results are attached to this letter. From this point
forward Burlington will complete, and report, the in -stream monitoring as specified in the
permit on days when there is a discharge from the facility.
"Additionally; the DMRs which were sent in for the months of March and April, 1998, did
not contain a second side (the side with the compliance status check and permittee
signature). Please submit copies of those two months.... In addition, please submit copies of
the DMRs for the months of June, 1998, and September, 1998. "
Due to an oversight, the second side of the March and April, 1998 DMR's were not
submitted. The entire DMR's for March and April are attached. The June and September,
1998 DMR's were submitted on time as specified by the permit. Copies of the June and
September DMR's are attached. Please note the "Central Files" date stamp on the cover letter
Reaponae to Wake 3-2-99 NOV.dw

that accompanied each DMR.
6. "Due to the nature of the operation of the facility, time proportional effluent sampling will be
acceptable, however, samples shall be taken with intervals no greater than 20 minutes.
Please verify that the appropriate changes have been made."
The Operator in Responsible Charge, Mr. Anthony Branch, reports that samples have been
taken with intervals no greater than 20 minutes ever since Mr. Ted Cashion of the Raleigh
Regional Office completed a Compliance Inspection on 6/30/97.
8. "Please explain what you intend to do with the sludge in these two units, including a time line
of action. "
Burlington needs additional time to respond to this item.
9. "Please explain if any such study has been completed and if so, what the conclusions were,
and if and when any changes will be implemented "
Burlington completed an informal evaluation of whether to operate the treatment plant as a
"discharge" or "non -discharge" system once the manufacturing operations were suspended. A
"discharge" approach was selected because the treatment system did not have the capacity to
evaporate the anticipated quantities of water. Burlington does not believe that elimination of
the flow equalization basin is practical at this time. A minimum number of aerators have been
operated since manufacturing operations were suspended in the Fall of 1996. As a result of
this notice Burlington has reduced aerator usage even further.
10. Please verify that the variance has been requested for renewal, or send in a letter requesting
renewal immediately. "
A letter requesting renewal of the variance has been submitted. A copy of that letter is
attached.
Please call Mr. Jim Wright of my staff at 336-379-2289 if you have any questions or need
additional information.
Sincerely,

+� Wake County
H't Dear Mr. Wicker:
-� The subject inspection was performed on February 2, 1999 by Tim Baldwin of this office.
t The cooperation of Anthony Branch was appreciated. Below is a numerical listing of the
* findings during our inspection.
1) The current permit for the above mentioned facility became effective on
March 1,1995, and expires January 31,1999. An application for permit renewal has
been received, however, the permit has not been reissued yet due to Division review
being done on all dischargers within the Neuse River Basin. The facility is allowed
to discharge under their expired permit until the new permit is issued. The permitted
flow for the facility is 5.0 MGD. The facility is rated a Class IV facility. The ORC
on record is Anthony Branch, who is a Grade 4 operator.
2) The wastewater treatment process train consists of a mechanical bar screen,
aerated flow equalization lagoon, 2 aerated lagoons, 3 clarifiers, and a. polishing
pond. There is no wastewater disinfection.
3) The sludge handling process train consists of an aerobic digester (lagoon),
porus asphalt sludge drying beds, and a dry sludge storage area. Burlington
Industries, Inc. holds a sludge application permit (WQ0001462) which was issued
on July 3, 1997, and expires June 30, 2002.

4) The DMRs were checked for compliance for the months of January, 1998, through
December, 1998 (excluding June, 1998, and September, 1998, due to unavailability). In a
letter from Philip H. Klein of Burlington Industries dated July 28, 1997, Burlington
Industries notified the Division that they were withdrawing their membership from the
Lower Neuse Basin Association, and that they would begin conducting stream sampling as
specified in the permit. Due to the unique situation of the Wake Finishing Plant being closed
and the WWTP having only intermittent discharges, we are only requiring upstream and
downstream sampling on days when the facility is discharging, up to a maximum frequency
as required in the permit. In the years worth of DMR data which was checked, however,
there were no upstream or downstream data available. This lack of sampling is a violation
of the permit conditions, and must be corrected immediately. Enclosed is a copy of the
upstream/downstream monitoring reporting forms for your use. Additionally, the DMRs
which were sent in for the months of March and April, 1998, did not contain a second side
(the side with the compliance status check and permittee signature). Please resubmit copies
of those two months with corrected sheets containing the second side of the forms. In
addition, please submit copies of the DMRs for the months of June, 1998, and September,
1998. All other monitoring and limit requirements appeared to be satisfied.
5) Laboratory results were checked against the DMR data for the month of May, 1998.
Everything appeared to be accurate.
6) The sampling method for this facility is somewhat unique, since it only has
intermittent discharges. A discharge event occurs for approximately 7 hours. An automatic
sampler is activated and pulls 160 mL samples approximately every 30 minutes. Due to the
nature of the operation of the facility, time proportional effluent sampling will be acceptable,
however, samples shall be taken with intervals no greater than 20 minutes. Please verify that
the appropriate changes have been made.
7) The influent and effluent flowmeters were last calibrated on September 14, 1998.
8) During the inspection several items within the facility were found to be either off-line
or inoperable. The mechanical bar screen did not operate when tested (the screens are
currently being raked by hand). In the equalization basin and two aeration basins, only about
50% of the aerators are mechanically operational, the rest are either completely useless or
used for spare parts. One of the final clarifiers is off line, and the other two are only used
during discharge events. Sludge was last wasted to the sludge digester lagoon in December,
1996, however, the digester lagoon has considerable amounts of sludge in it. The sludge
drying beds are not being used due to lack of sludge production. The final polishing pond
is not in use, however, there is a considerable amount of sludge located in the pond. It is
suggested that the sludge be removed from the digester lagoon and polishing pond to reduce
the risk of accidental discharge of sludge from either of these units. Please explain what you
intend to do with the sludge in these two units, including a time line of action.

9) The operator mentioned a study which was done to see if portions of the waste
treatment process could be taken off line to save energy since the flow to the facility is so
low, however, he did not know of the results. It is recommended that optimization of the
facility be looked into. It might be possible to discontinue use of the flow equalization basin
and one of the aeration lagoons, thereby saving the energy of aerating them. Additionally,
due to the reportedly high DO levels in the aeration basins, it is likely that since there is little
to no BOD entering the system, the aerators might not have to be run in any of the basins.
Please explain if any such study has been completed, and if so, what the conclusions were,
and if and when any changes will be implemented.
10) The W WTP is permitted for 5.0 MGD, which typically requires 24 hour staffing. A
variance from that permit requirement was granted based on the unique situation of the
facility. The variance, however, expired January 1, 1999, and we have no record of a
renewal request for the variance. Please verify that the variance has been requested for
renewal, or send in a letter requesting renewal immediately.
Please respond in writing to items 4, 8, 9, and 10 by March 30, 1999. You are reminded that any
violation of the NPDES permit is subject to enforcement action by this Division and/or the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency.

Subject: Notice of Violation
Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Burlington Industries, Inc. Wake Finishing Plant
NPDES Permit No. NC0001376
Wake County
Dear Mr. Wicker:
P �=
� ggv3o4
The subject inspection was performed on February 2, 1999 by Tim Baldwin of this office.
The cooperation of Anthony Branch was appreciated. Below is a numerical listing of the
findings during our inspection.
1) The current permit for the above mentioned facility became effective on
March 1,1995, and expires January 31,1999. An application for permit renewal has
been received, however, the permit has not been reissued yet due to Division review
being done on all dischargers within the Neuse River Basin. The facility is allowed
to discharge under their expired permit until the new permit is issued. The permitted
flow for the facility is 5.0 MGD. The facility is rated a Class IV facility. The ORC
on record is Anthony Branch, who is a Grade 4 operator.
2) The wastewater treatment process train consists of a mechanical bar screen,
aerated flow equalization lagoon, 2 aerated lagoons, 3 clarifiers, and a. polishing
pond. There is no wastewater disinfection.
3) The sludge handling process train consists of an aerobic digester (lagoon),
porus asphalt sludge drying beds, and a dry sludge storage area. Burlington
Industries, Inc. holds a sludge application permit (WQ0001462) which was issued
on July 3, 1997, and expires June 30, 2002.

4) The DMRs were checked for compliance for the months of January, 1998, through
December, 1998 (excluding June, 1998, and September, 1998, due to unavailability). In a
letter from Philip H. Klein of Burlington Industries dated July 28, 1997, Burlington
Industries notified the Division that they were withdrawing their membership from the
Lower Neuse Basin Association, and that they would begin conducting stream sampling as
specified in the permit. Due to the unique situation of the Wake Finishing Plant being closed
and the WWTP having only intermittent discharges, we are only requiring upstream and
downstream sampling on days when the facility is discharging, up to a maximum frequency
as required in the permit. In the years worth of DMR data which was checked, however,
there were no upstream or downstream data available. This lack of sampling is a violation
of the permit conditions, and must be corrected immediately. Enclosed is a copy of the
upstream/downstream monitoring reporting forms for your use. Additionally, the DMRs
which were sent in for the months of March and April, 1998, did not contain a second side
(the side with the compliance status check and permittee signature). Please resubmit copies
of those two months with corrected sheets containing the second side of the forms. In
addition, please submit copies of the DMRs for the months of June, 1998, and September,
1998. All other monitoring and limit requirements appeared to be satisfied.
5) Laboratory results were checked against the DMR data for the month of May, 1998.
Everything appeared to be accurate.
6) The sampling method for this facility is somewhat unique, since it only has
intermittent discharges. A discharge event occurs for approximately 7 hours. An automatic
sampler is activated and pulls 160 mL samples approximately every 30 minutes. Due to the
nature of the operation of the facility, time proportional effluent sampling will be acceptable,
however, samples shall be taken with intervals no greater than 20 minutes. Please verify that
the appropriate changes have been made.
7) The influent and effluent flowmeters were last calibrated on September 14, 1998.
8) During the inspection several items within the facility were found to be either off-line
or inoperable. The mechanical bar screen did not operate when tested (the screens are
currently being raked by hand). In the equalization basin and two aeration basins, only about
50% of the aerators are mechanically operational, the rest are either completely useless or
used for spare parts. One of the final clarifiers is off line, and the other two are only used
during discharge events. Sludge was last wasted to the sludge digester lagoon in December,
1996, however, the digester lagoon has considerable amounts of sludge in it. The sludge
drying beds are not being used due to lack of sludge production. The final polishing pond
is not in use, however, there is a considerable amount of sludge located in the pond. It is
suggested that the sludge be removed from the digester lagoon and polishing pond to reduce
the risk of accidental discharge of sludge from either of these units. Please explain what you
intend to do with the sludge in these two units, including a time line of action.

Mr. Philip H. Klein
March 2, 1999
Page 3
9) The operator mentioned a study which was done to see if portions of the waste
treatment process could be taken off line to save energy since the flow to the facility is so
low, however, he did not know of the results. It is recommended that optimization of the
facility be looked into. It might be possible to discontinue use of the flow equalization basin
and one of the aeration lagoons, thereby saving the energy of aerating them. Additionally,
due to the reportedly high DO levels in the aeration basins, it is likely that since there is little
to no BOD entering the system the aerators might not have to be run in any of the basins.
Please explain if any such study has been completed, and if so, what the conclusions were,
and if and when any changes will be implemented.
10) The W WTP is permitted for 5.0 MGD, which typically requires 24 hour staffing. A
variance from that permit requirement was granted based on the unique situation of the
facility. The variance, however, expired January 1, 1999, and we have no record of a
renewal request for the variance. Please verify that the variance has been requested for
renewal, or send in a letter requesting renewal immediately.
Please respond in writing to items 4, 8, 9, and 10 by March 30, 1999. You are reminded that any
violation of the NPDES permit is subject to enforcement action by this Division and/or the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency.
If you have any questions concerning this information please contact Mr. Baldwin at (919) 5714700

Subject: Data Verification for NPDES Permit NC0001376
Wake Plant
Wake County
The Division of Water Quality is conducting a critical short-term review of Total Nitrogen discharge data in the Neuse
River Basin. By this letter, we are requiring that you submit certain 1995 monitoring data to the Division no later than
August 7, 1998, as explained below.
In December 1997, the Environmental Management Commission (EMC) adopted the Neuse River Basin
Nutrient -Sensitive Waters Management Strategy rules (15A NCAC 2B.0200). The Division used 1995 Total Nitrogen (TN)
data from the permitted dischargers in the basin to estimate the annual nitrogen loading from all point sources. The
estimated TN load was used to establish the individual and group TN allocations found in the rules (15A NCAC
2B.0234).
Recent review of the data has raised questions about the validity of the estimated TN load. The Laboratory Certification
Unit has also reported that calculation errors are still common when determining values for TN concentration in effluent
samples. The Division is taking a fresh look at the 1995 TN data to determine whether they contain significant errors
which could affect the estimated TN load and allocations. The Division is scheduled to present findings from this review
at the September EMC meeting. It is essential that the data be gathered quickly and reviewed.
By this letter, the Division requires the subject facility to collect all laboratory data sheets and/or bench sheets for all
nitrogen soecies analyses (NO„ NO,, NH, and/or TKN) of the subject facility's effluent discharges monitored in calendar
year 1995. Submit the data to the Division no later than August 7, 1998. Send data packages to:

REMARKS:
I certify that I am familiar with the information contained in this report and that to the
best of my knowledge and belief such information is true, complete and accurate.

S
Directions - For each parameter Fisted, complete the information
requested in each column in the units specified according to the
instructions given below.
Column 1- Enter the daily average value of the intake water at
the point d enters the facility. if intake water if from more than one source,
and enters the facility at separate entry points, the value given in column t
should be weighted proportional to the quantity of flow contributed from
each source. If water is treated before use, completion of this column is not
required (see irwbuctians for column 2). Values of intake are not required
for mining activitxs
Column 2 - If all or part of intake water is treated before use,
provide values for total intake here instead on in Column t, Also describe
briefly in Item 26'additional information," the type of treatment performed on
stake water (e.g,, rapid sand filtration, coagulation, flocculation, Ion
exchange, etc.) and the percent of intake water contributing to this
discharge that has been treated.
Column 3 - Supply daily average value for the days when
discharge is actually operating or is expected to be operating (a new
discharge). Daly average values are to be computed by weighing the daily
value in proportion to the daily flow. If a discharge occurs irregularly, the
value supplied in the column marked "Daily Average" should represent an
average for the average for the days the discharge actually occurs. Average
values are not to be supplied for pH, specific conductance, and
bacteriological parameters (e.g., coliform bacteria).
Columns 4 and 5 - Supply minimum and maximum value
observed for expected for new discharge) over any one day when the
discharge is operating.
Column 6 - Specify the average frequency of analysis for each
parameter as number analyses per number of days (e.g., Wr is equivalent
to three analyses performed every 7 days). If continuous, enter "CONT."
When analyses are conducted on more than one individual grab sample
collected during the same day, the analysis frequency should reflect one
analysis whose value is the average of the individual grab sample
measurements. Average frequency should be based on an operating
month.
Cohmm 7- Specify the number of analyses performed at the
average frequency specxred in column 6, up to 365.
Column 8 - Specify sample type as follows:
G For grab sample (individual sample collected in less than 15
minutes).
RC For composite sample t is to be replaced by the average
number of hours over which the composite sample was collected.
Composite samples are combinations of individual samples
obtained at intervals over a time period, either the volume of
each individual sample is directly proportional to discharge flow
rates or the sartyFp interval (for constant volume samples) is
inversely proportional to the flow rates over the time period
used to produce the composite.
NA if "CONT' was entered in column 6.
Analytical methods - Appendix A contains all parameters with
Heir reporting levels, test descriptions, and references. The parameter
values can be determined either try use of the standard analytical methods
as described in table A a by methods previously approved by the EPA
Regional Administrator or Director of a federally approved State program (or
their authorized representative) who has jurisdiction over the State in which
the discharge occurs. If the test used is not one shown in table A. the test
procedure should be referenced in "Remarks" or on a separate sheet.. If
values are determned to be lass than the detectable limits (as determined
by referenced stand® analytical techniques and/or instrument
manufacturer's literature), specify "LT(Value of detectable limit)" in the
appropriate space. For example, it the detectable limit is .005 mg/I and
quantities of less than this are determined, specify'LT.005' Do not enter
descriptors such as -NIL," -TRACE; 'NEG,' etc. for this purpose. If it is
your reasoned judgment that one or more of the required parameters is not
present in the initial untreated or treated process water and/or the
discharge, enter an 'A' (meaning "absent") in the appropriate space.
In order for values reported to be representative, It is
recommended dad they be based on from at least five to seven analyses of
composite samples(if applicable). Each of the composite samples should
be obtained by corrhpo&" frequent samples in proportion to flow over an
operating day. Samples should be taken during period of maximum
production, if possible. If are taken at periods of less than
maximum production, state in "Remarks" the percent of maximum
production that was obtained during the sampling period.

5 - Identify chemicals to be analyzed for according to the 10 significant peaks rule (as described in item 2 of the Annual Pollutant Analysis
=onitoring Requirement in the permit) using a GCIMS library search Tentative idenulication is ail that is required; confirmation by standard
election is not necessary. Estimate the concentration of each based on an internal standard having the closest retention time.
eporting
3 • Cuantitation Limit Targets that should be me! are listed on this Revised APAM Reporting Form A. Report the use of any higher quantita.
on limit and an explanation as to why the listed quantitation limit target could not be met. Examples of acceptable reasons for not meeting
.quantitation limit target could be high background concentrations in a sample, or the necessity for sample fraction dilution to bring a chemical
n within a quantifiable concentration. List any quantilation limit different (whether higher or lower) from the target In the column provided
w this purpose.
7 - If a chemical Is found to be below the quantitation limit, report the concentration detected as less than (or' G') the quantitallon limit
t the appropriate space. Provide a concentration estimate for chemicals detected In concentrations greater than the detection limit and less
:tan the quantltation limit. Enter the detection limit in parentheses beside the estimate. Chemicals detected in concentrations above the quan-
ation limits must be quantified. Ouanlltatlon limit and detection limit are defined In the accompanying memo (Tedder, October 19w). Enter
ne total number of peaks detected in each analytic fraction In the appAprlale space on this Revised APAM Form A. Report all concentrations
n units of micrograms per Ilter (uglt) and metals as total recoverable metal. If no peaks to be Identified under the 10 significant peaks rule
re observed. enter "none" In the space provided for "other" compounds In each appropriate analytic fraction section. Provide the concentra.
.on estimate and retention time for "unknowns" as well as for "significant peaks" for which a structural assignment can be made.
3 - If "significant peaks" are found, provide probable molecular weight, library match probability, retention time,. identification basis, and
is scan number for each. In addition, list Internal standards and their retention times.
3 . In the section labeled "Organic Analytical Information" (p• 9), Include for each organic fraction the method, extraction technique. GC
nercfing conditions, and surrogate recovery. Report the size of the GCIMS library being uti!lzed in the appropriate space.
- Use copies of this Annual Pollutant Analysis Monitoring Revised Form A to report the results of the analysis. Both the analytical laboratory
±preszn:ative and the facility operatoi in responsible charge should sign completed forms (test page).
- Mai: two comnleted copies of the form (and the laboratory report, if submitted to the facility on a different form) to: ATTW Central Files.

SLUDGE MANAGEMENT PLAN
BURLINGTON INDUSTRIES, INC., WAKE FOREST, NC
FOR THE LAND APPLICATION OF STABILIZED
WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT SLUDGE ON
FARMLAND AT AGRONOMIC RATES
JUNE 22, 1998
I. INTRODUCTION
Burlington Industries, Inc. is currently under contract with Environmental Waste Recycling, Inc.
(EWR) to provide sludge management services. EWR mobilizes their equipment once per year,
or as needed, to remove, transport and land apply drying bed sludge to farmland at agronomic
rates in Franklin County under Permit No. WQ0001462 (renewed in July, 1997). There are
currently 216.8 acres of land under permit.
A detailed plan is kept on file at our office and eitht the NC-DEM. Below is an outline of the
information contained in the plan. A copy of the entire plan can be provided if needed.
II. OUTLINE OF PLAN INFORMATION
A. GENERAL
This section contains general project information including the State of North Carolina Sludge
Management Permit Attachment A and Form: LARS 4/91. The Spill Control Plan is
included in this section. Also in this section is an explanation of the treatment process.
B. CURRENT PERMIT
C. ANALYSIS
This section contains the EPA Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure analysis (TCLP)
and a total sludge analysis.
D. SITE
This section contains information on the fields identified for sludge applications: topographic
maps, serial maps and a vicinity map. Also included is information on the soil types and hand
auger boring investigations. Detailed information on the soils is located in the SOIL section.
The completed NC-DEM Agreement for Land Application of Waste Sludge to Private Lands
can also be found in this section.
E. AGRONOMY
This section contains the Agronomist Report including loading rate recommendations for
nutrients and dry tonnages/ac for each site.
F. SOILS
This section contains the Soil Scientist Report including loading rate recommendations for
nutrients and dry tonnages/ac for particular soils found at the site. Also, the soils analysis
performed by A & L Agricultural Labs are located in this section. A detailed description of
each soil type existing on each site is found in this section including profile descriptions.

Page 2 of 2
III. OPERATIONS
A. PLANT SITE
Liquid sludge will be pumped into sealed tank trailer and tractor units and transported to the
pernitted sites. Dewatered sludge will be loaded onto a leakproof transport/application
vehicle and transported to the site.
B. FIELD
An EWR project manager will contact the farmer to schedule applications. Prior to spreading
operations, the project manger will flag the site according to the buffer zones listed in the
permit While flagging the site, a suitable off loading area will be selected by an EWR project
manager (i.e. away from sensitive areas like ponds drainage area's, homes, excessive slope)
where sludge can be transferred from a tanker to the liquid application vehicle. If dewatered
operations were utilized, the sludge would be deposited in the field and then loaded by a front
end loader to the spreader vehicle. Depending on availability, a combined liquid or cake
transport and application velucle may be used. Sludge will be surface applied on hay and
pasture and on sites with adequate cover. If a cover crop does not exist, the sludge will be
incorporated with the soil. The sludge will be spread at predetermined rates specified under
permit conditions.
C. ACCESS CONTROL
Since the sludge will be applied to private lands, no trespassing is allowed on any of the sites.
Fencing will be in place to allow for cattle rotations if necessary.
D. REPORTING
A report showing the date, dry tonnage, cubic yards/gallons, field numbers, acres and pounds
per acre applied of nutrients and metals will be generated for each application event. Copies
Of these reports will be retained by Burlington Industries and submitted to the farm operators
by EWR. An annual report will be generated as required in the permit.

Subject: Renewal of NPDES
Wake Plant
Wake County
Dear Permittee:
Permit No. NC0001376
The subject permit expires on January 31, 1999. North Carolina General Stature 143.215.1(c) requires that an
application for permit renewal be filed at least 180 days prior to the expiration date.
To satisfy this requirement, your renewal package must be sent to the Division postmarked no later than August 4,
1998. Failure to request renewal by August 4, 1998 will result in a civil assessment of at least $250.00. Larger
penalties may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request.
If any wastewater discharge will occur after January 31, 1999 (or if continuation of the permit is desired), the permit
must not be allowed to expire. Operation of waste treatment works or continuation of a discharge after January 31,
1999 would violate NCGS 143.215.1 and could result in assessment of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day.
If all wastewater discharge has ceased at the subject facility and you wish to rescind this permit, contact Robert
Farmer of the Division's Compliance Enforcement Unit at [phone], extension 531. You may also contact the
Raleigh Regional Office at [phone] to begin the rescission process.
Use the enclosed checklist to complete your renewal package. The checklist identifies the items which you must
submit when applying for renewal of the subject permit.
If you have any questions, please contact me. My telephone number, fax number and e-mail address are listed below.
Sincerely,
Charles H. Weaver, Jr.

November 19, 1997
This is to inform you that the Environmental Sciences Branch of the Division of Water Quality has not received your
quarterly toxicity monitoring report for the month of September 1997. This is in violation of Title 15A of the North Carolina
Administrative Code, Chapter 2, Subchapter 213, Section .0506 (a)(1)(E) which states that "In situations where no discharge has
occurred from the facility during the report period, the pemtittee is required to submit a monthly monitoring report giving all
required information and indicating 'NO FLAW' unless the Director agrees to waive the reporting requirement during extended
conditions of no discharge."
Dual reporting requirements exist for facilities which are required to conduct toxicity monitoring specified by individual
NPDES Permits. Facilities are required by the NPDES Permit to complete and submit an Aquatic Toxicity (AT) Test Form to the
Environmental Sciences Branch as well as report the results of all effluent test characteristics (including toxicity) on a Discharge
Monitoring Report Form (DMR).
Information contained on your September DMR, which was correctly sent to Cenral Files, indicated "No Discharge" for
the period in question; however, the Environmental Sciences Branch did not receive an AT test form for September 1997.
If your facility is required to report during a month in which no discharge occurs, you should complete the information
block located at the top of the AT form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county and the month/year of
the subject report. The AT form shall be signed, appropriately marked "NO FLAW", and submitted to the address cited below.

The former Wake Plant of Burlington Industries (Burlington) has been a member of the LNBA
since the inception of the association. As such, the former Wake Plant has been exempt from
all instream monitoring requirements specified in the subject NPDES permit. The former Wake
Plant ceased all manufacturing operations in November of 1996. As a result, Burlington has
decided to withdraw its' membership from the LNBA. The former Wake Plant will immediately
begin instream monitoring as specified in the subject permit. By copy of this letter to Mr. D. E.
Benton, President of the LNBA, Burlington is informing the LNBA of this decision.

Response to Notice of Violation (NOV) dated July 11, 1997
Dear Mr. Schuster:
Outlined below is Burlington's response to items 2, 5, and 6 of the subject NOV. Each item is
repeated below in italics, followed by Burlington's response.
2. As discussed with Mr. Branch, proper calibration of equipment must be maintained during this
period. The pH meter must be calibrated before each use with 4.0, 7.0, and 10.0 buffers. The
conductivity meter must be calibrated with a known standard. All meters, including the dissolved
oxygen meter must be calibrated prior to each use and documented in the ORC logbook.
Burlington's Response to Item 2.
Mr. Branch will calibrate the pH meter, the conductivity meter, and the dissolved oxygen meter prior to
each use. He will also document completion of each calibration in the ORC logbook.
5. Treatment units consisted of an equalization basin, 2 aeration basins, 3 clarifiers (2 were in
service), aerobic digester, polishing pond (not in use), 9 asphalt sludge beds, and a sludge storage
bunker (approximately half full). While the treatment system is not operating at full capacity, we
recommend that Burlington prepare to property close out the facility by removing all sludge from the
units (polishing pond and clarifiers not in use, sludge drying beds and sludge storage bunker) and
property dispose of.
Burlington's Response to Item 5.
Burlington intends to land apply all sludges in all "out of service" clarifier(s), the polishing pond, the
sludge drying beds, and the sludge storage bunker under the authority of Land Application Permit No.
WQ0001462. This permit expired on March 31, 1997. However, conversations with the "Permits &
Engineering Unit" indicate that a renewed permit should be issued shortly. Burlington is currently
evaluating various methods of handling these sludges.

6. The effluent flow meter was last calibrated September 14, 1995. The Division requires, at a
minimum, annual calibration of flow meters. Please have the unit calibrated as soon as possible to
comply with this regulation. Meters not used for reporting purposes to the Division are not required to
be calibrated.
Burlington's Response to Item 6.
Personnel at the Wake Plant are currently contacting the manufacturer of the effluent flow meter. The
manufacturer is expected to provide the name of an authorized vendor to come to the site to complete
the calibration. Plant personnel will issue a contract to the calibration vendor as soon as possible. Mr.
Branch will document completion of this calibration in the ORC logbook. It is Burlington's intent to
calibrate the effluent flow meter annually thereafter.
In the next to the last paragraph of your letter you requested that Burlington "include an update as to
the sale of the property and/or proposed commencement of production at the facility. "
Burlington's Response to the Request:
In late 1996 to early 1997 a potential buyer began looking at the facility. This potential buyer decided
in June of 1997 to not purchase the Wake Plant. A second potential buyer began looking at the
facility shortly after the first potential buyer began looking. The second potential buyer is still
evaluating the property The second potential buyer has indicated to Burlington that he would intend
to operate the wastewater treatment plant to support his manufacturing processes.
Burlington has received a number of other inquiries about the propety over the past six to eight
months. The future outcome of these inquiries is unknown at this time.
Burlington requests that the existing permit be left unchanged until the end of calender year 1997. By
then Burlington should have a better understanding of the disposition of this facility. This may also
save the NCDEHNR time and effort by only having to modify the permit once, rather than twice, once
in the near future for Burlington and once later this year or early next year for a new owner.
Please call me at 910-379-2289 if you have any questions or would like to discuss the status of this
facility further.
Very Truly Yours,

Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Burlington Industries Wake Finishing Plant (Class III)
NPDES Permit No. NC0001376
Wake County
The subject inspection was performed June 30, 1997 by Ted Cashion of my staff. The
cooperation of Anthony Branch, Grade III ORC, was appreciated. Findings during the inspection
were as follows:
1. The facility ceased manufacturing operations in mid -November 1996. According to Mr.
Branch, only 5 employees are on -site to maintain the facility until it is sold. The
discharge is manually controlled by Mr. Branch, and discharge is mainly dependent on
stormwater volume to the treatment system. Mr. Branch stated that when it is necessary
to discharge, it occurs only when he is on -site and for approximately 6 hours.
2. As discussed with Mr. Branch, proper calibration of equipment must be maintained
during this period. The pH meter must be calibrated before each use with 4.0, 7.0, and
10.0 buffers. The conductivity meter must be calibrated with a known standard. All
meters, including the dissolved oxygen meter must be calibrated prior to each use and
documented in the ORC logbook.
3. A check of March 1997 DMR data and lab data showed consistent reporting of results.
4. A review of DMR data submitted from May 1996 through April 1997 showed monitoring
for ammonia, total phosphorus, chromium, sulfide, phenols, copper, and zinc was omitted
in February 1997. You are reminded to sample all parameters contained in the NPDES
permit when a discharge occurs, and failure to monitor is a violation of permit conditions.
All required monitoring since February 1997 has been completed. No limit violations were
reported during this period.

sludge drying beds and sludge storage bunker) and properly dispose of.
6. The effluent flow meter was last calibrated September 14, 1995. The Division requires,
at a minimum, annual calibration of flow meters. Please have the unit calibrated as soon
as possible to comply with this regulation. Meters not used for reporting purposes to the
Division are not required to be calibrated.
7. The Division requires that flow proportional samples be collected as specified in the
NPDES permit. Given that production has ceased at this facility, we will allow samples
to be collected at no greater than 20 minute intervals, and equal volumes of sample but
no less than 100 milliliters per sample. Upon commencement of production, flow
proportional sampling will be required.
8. It is noted that values of "0" have been reported on the DMR, specifically for chromium
and phenols during September, October, November and December 1996, and BOD for
July and October 1996. You are reminded to report values exactly as the laboratory report
states. It was not confirmed during the inspection what actual values the lab reported to
Burlington, however, the lab must not report values of zero. Nondetectable results must
be reported as less than the detection limit for the analytical method employed (i.e. <1.0
ug/I, etc.).
Please respond in writing to this office by August 8, 1997 detailing actions taken regarding
items 2, 5, and 6. Also include an update as to the sale of the property and/or proposed
commencement of production at the facility.

Plan of Operation / Disposal of Residuals
Dear Ms. Garrett:
As discussed with you during a recent telephone conversation, the Wake Plant of Burlington
Industries ceased manufacturing operations in mid -November 1996. Stormwater runoff, possible
groundwater infiltration, and sanitary wastewaters from a small custodial staff are the only remaining
influent flows to the waste water treatment plant (WWTP). As a result of these changes you
requested that Burlington propose how the WWTP will be operated at the reduced flow rates, and
how sludges will be disposed. Outlined below is Burlington's response to your request,
Plan of Operation
Burlington proposes to treat all incoming wastewaters (average <1.000 gpd, except during storm
events) in the existing equalization and aeration basins, and discharge treated effluent through the
clarifiers to the Neuse River on an intermittent basis. The existing polishing pond will not be used.
Intermittent discharge will be accomplished by lowering the water level in the equalization and
aeration basins. Hydraulically controlled discharge through the clarifiers to the Neuse River will occur
during this operation. This operation will be completed only when the Operator in Responsible Charge
(ORC) is present. Valves between the aeration basins and the clarifiers will be closed once the level
in the basins has been lowered. Wastewater will then accumulate in the basins Discharge will
resume by opening the valves to the clarifiers once the basins approach their full water level.
This WWTP has been classified by the State of North Carolina as a Class III facility. Mr. Anthony
Branch is a Burlington employee. He is a Class III WWTP operator and has been retained as the
ORC. Mr. Branch is scheduled to work at the facility forty (40) hours per week. He will be the
individual that controls the intermittent discharge as described above. He will also complete all other
functions of the ORC. such as flow monitoring, sample collection, completion of Discharge Monitoring
Reports (DMR's), and operation of aerators to insure complete treatment and mixing while conserving
as much electrical energy as possible. Mr. Whit Whitfield is also a Burlington employee. He is a
Class II WWTP operator and has been designated the back up operator.
The former Wake Plant is a member of the Lower Neuse Basin Association (LNBA). As a result the
LNBA completes all instream monitoring. Burlington's current intent is to remain a member of this
association.

evaluating the cost feasibility of achieving advanced tertiary treatment levels be performed and that
a report be submitted by June 1, 1996. It further stipulates that if advanced tertiary levels cannot be
met with state of the art treatment, then information should be provided detailing the best
achievable levels of treatment. This report addresses the technical and economic feasibility of
tertiary treatment to meet limits for BODS and ammonia of 5 mg/l and 2 mg/l, respectively.
A review of operating data for calendar year 1995 through March, 1996 indicates that monthly
average effluent BODS concentrations have ranged from between 4 mg/l and 6 mg/I. Maximum
BODS concentrations have ranged from 7 mg/l to 11 mg/l. Effluent ammonia concentrations have
generally been below 0.5 mg/1 with the maximum reported value of <1.0 mg/I. Thus, as currently
operating, the existing wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) could comply with an ammonia limit of
2 mg/l. However, compliance with a BODS limit of 5 mg/l could not be consistently provided.
The existing WWTP is an extended aeration activated sludge facility designed for an average flow
of 5.0 mgd. In general, this process is designed to meet effluent BODS and total suspended solids
(TSS) concentration of less than 30 mg/I. The process should remove soluble BODS to less than
10 mg/I and in most cases to below 5 mg/l. However, due to BODS associated with TSS, the
process is not normally designed to meet average limits below 20 to 30 mg/l. As demonstrated by
the low ammonia concentrations experienced since January, 1995, the system will provide
nitrification and should reduce ammonia concentrations to less that 1.0 mg/l.
Chemical coagulation and filtration is expected to be the most cost effective approach for meeting
the limits proposed. Of course, this assumes efficient biological treatment as has been historically
demonstrated. The objective for chemical coagulation and filtration is removal of TSS such that
only soluble BODS is measured in the effluent. To evaluate the feasibility of this approach, a series
of effluent total and soluble BODS tests were performed. These tests indicated that the soluble
BODS values were slightly less (around 2.0 mg/l less) than the total. In all cases, the soluble
BODS was less than 5 mg/I. While this data indicates that compliance with a BODS limit of 5 mg/l
could be achieved if all solids were removed, caution should be exercised in accepting a BODS
Page 1

limit this low. Normal variations in the biological process and laboratory testing methodologies
could result in concentrations above the proposed limit. For these reasons, it is not appropriate for
average BODS limit of less that 10 mg/I to be imposed for biological treatment followed by
chemical coagulation.
In addition to the process limitations described above, the textile industry has historically required
frequent manufacturing changes and product modifications. This results in significant changes in
fibers, coatings, dyes, finishes, auxiliaries and other chemicals. These changes have and will
affect wastewater characteristics and the performance of treatment facilities. Thus, an adequate
margin of safety should be provided by discharge permits to allow compliance. Regardless of the
high level of treatment performance demonstrated under current operating conditions, future
treatment requirements may impact treatment performance. To assure permit compliance, a degree
of flexibility in permit limits should be maintained.
An efficient chemical coagulation system will require: chemical feed system, rapid mix tank,
flocculation tank, chemical sludge clarifiers, sand filters and a sludge handling system. In some
cases, tertiary filters can be designed to handle solids loadings without prior sedimentation.
However, for the purposes of this study and without substantiating studies, it is assumed that
chemical sludge clarifiers will be required. Further, the existing solids handling system at the
Wake Plant does not have sufficient capacity to handle the additional sludge production resulting
from chemical coagulation and solids removal. Thus, additional solids handling capacity should
be provided if tertiary treatment is required.
Based on my experience with textile wastewater treatment, experience with processes and facilities
at the Wake Plant and previous laboratory testing performed on Wake Plant effluent, the following
process assumptions are presented regarding tertiary treatment:
Design Flow 5.0 mgd
Coagulant Dosage 50 mg/I
Coagulant Cost $1.30/lb
Chemical Sludge Production 50 mg/I
Operating Days 300
Based on these assumptions, the capital and operating costs for a chemical coagulation tertiary
treatment system as described above is summarized as follows:
Page 2

0%
I�J
Capital Cost $4,000,000
Chemical Cost $0.54/1000 gallons
Sludge Handling Cost $15,000/year
O&M(not including above costs) $50,000/year
Assuming a reduction in BOD of 2 mg/l at a flow of 5 mgd, a present worth analysis using an
interest rate of 8 percent over 20 years indicates a treatment cost of over $72 per pound of BOD
removed. Given the relatively minor level of improvement in effluent quality achieved by tertiary
treatment, the benefit for a capital expenditure of this level appears to be marginal.
Other tertiary treatment technologies such as activated carbon adsorption or microfiltration would
have significantly higher capital and operating costs than those projected for chemical coagulation.
These processes are not widely employed in textile wastewater treatment and should not be
considered state of the art for this industry.
The analysis and cost estimates provided in this report are for evaluating the feasibility of tertiary
treatment to comply with proposed standards and should not be construed to represent final
estimated construction costs. Detailed pilot testing and preliminary engineering will be required to
provide more accurate estimates.
In summary, chemical coagulation and filtration should provide the most cost effective means for
increasing the reliability of the existing treatment system for compliance with a BOD5 limit of 5
mg/l. However, due to inherit variations in the biological process, BOD, limits less than 10 mg/1
should not be considered achievable for state of the art treatment of the textile industry discharges.
Reduction of the BOD5 limit will restrict future flexibility in manufacturing operations. Proper
operation of the existing system should allow compliance with an ammonia limit of 2 mg/l.

Action Plan
NCDEM Compliance Evaluation Inspection Conducted April 18, 1996
Burlington Industries --Wake Plant
Item 7 (a)
Comment/Recommendation: Influent sampler refrigerator was observed at 5°C.
Required to be 4°C, or less, for monitoring results to be acceptable for submittal
on monthly reports (DMR). The inspector noted that influent monitoring is not
required by our NPDES permit.
Action planned: Reporting of influent monitoring data will be discontinued,
effective with the May, 1996, DMR.
Item 7 (b)
Comment/Recommendation: Calibration of effluent flowmeter was last
documented on January 30, 1995. Annual calibration is required. Records of
calibration are to be kept on file for three years.
Action planned: The effluent flowmeter was calibrated on May 21, 1996. A
procedure has been reestablished to schedule annual calibration and to keep
records of calibration on file for three years.
Item 7 (c)
Comment/Recommendation: The influent flowmeter has no record of
calibration. Annual calibration is required, as noted item 7 (b) above, if flow
measurement from the influent flowmeter is to be reported on the DMR, e.g. in
the event of a failure of the effluent flowmeter.
Action planned: The inffluent flowmeter was calibrated on May 21, 1996. A
procedure has been reestablished to schedule annual calibration and to keep
records of calibration on file for three years.
Item 7 (e)
Comment/Recommendation: The paint was observed to be chipping on a grill
(grating) over Return Activated Sludge holding tank near Clarifier #3 (correct
designation is Clarifier #2). Potential negative affect on wastewater treatment
system was noted by the inspector.
Action planned: This grating will be replaced within 60 days.
Item 7 (f)
Comment/Recommendation: "Scattered scum was observed at the effluent end
of the polishing pond. The presence of the weir prevents the scum and other
possible debris from discharging with the efffluent to the receiving stream.
The present scum should be removed as soon as possible and removed as often
as deemed necessary in the future."
Action planned: The effluent will continue to be monitored to insure that the
scum baffle at the rectangular weir effectively prevents the discharge of scum.

NPDES Permit No. NC0001376
Wake County
Dear Mr. Klein:
On April 18, 1996, Ms. Vanessa Manuel of the Raleigh Regional
Office conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the subject
facility accompanied by Mr. Martin Ashley, Mr. Reginald Champion,
and Mr. George Sims. Both their on site assistance and cooperation
was very helpful and appreciated. As a result of the inspection,
the following comments and/or recommendations were developed:
1. When the sample measurement frequency occurs 2/month, a
minimum of 10 days must elapse between sampling events.
This requirement was not met for all months (March 1995
through February 1996 except April 1995) for total chromium,
sulfides, and phenols. Compliance was not achieved for all
months except March, April, and July 1995 for copper and zinc.
Please ensure this requirement is complied with immediately.
2. The start time of the composite sampling was not
indicated on the influent page of the Discharge Monitor
Reports (DMRs) for all months reviewed during March 1995
through February 1996. Mr. Ashley assured the Division that
the subject facility will begin reporting the composite time
on the DMRs.
3. The effluent flow daily rate and the effluent temperature
is not displayed on the DMR for May 28, 1995. As stated by
Mr. Champion, the facility was temporarily shut down, and no
flow was going through the treatment system on this day. An
amended DMR will be submitted to the Division with said
explanation attached. Please note also that a value a 174
mg/l is displayed for influent BOD5 on the 28th; is this
result accurately displayed?

4. A review of the self -monitoring data submitted for the
facility for the 12 month period from March 1995 through
February 1996, indicates no violations of either the final
effluent limitations or of the measurement frequencies
contained in the subject NPDES Permit.
5. An inspection of the records/reports indicate the
following observations:
(a) The operators' site visitation logs were on site, were
available for inspection, and are being maintained as
required.
(b) As required by North Carolina's regulations, all
maintenance to the treatment system must be properly
documented. Mr. Ashley stated that a log of the
maintenance was once kept; documentation of all
maintenance will resume immediately.
(c) The subject facility is maintaining bench records of the
data being monitored and submitted. Burlington
Industries is certified to analyze for BOD, COD, TSS,
Conductivity, and pH. Comparison of the facility's
records was conducted with the data submitted on the DMRs
for March 1995 and January 1996. No discrepancies were
noted.
(d) Data submitted by both Burlington Research and Sedgefield
Specialties were on site and were used in comparing their
results to submitted DMR data for March 1995 and January
1996. No discrepancies were detected.
Due to the time constraints, an inspection of the laboratory
was not conducted. However, the facility was recently
inspected for Laboratory Certification Maintenance by the
Division's Laboratory Certification Group on January 4, 1996.
6. Toxicity tests nave been submitted as required. During
1995, the facility has passed each of its chronic toxicity
tests.
7. An inspection of the treatment units revealed the
following observations:
(a) The influent sampler refrigerator temperature was
observed at 5°C, while the effluent sampler temperature
was at 0°C. All sample holding refrigerators must be in
the temperature range of less than 4°C. During the last
Compliance Evaluation Inspection conducted by Ted Cashion
on June 8, 1995, it was noted that the influent sampler
temperature was observed at 12°C. According to Mr.
Champion and Mr. Sims, it is difficult for the influent
sampler to maintain the required temperature range during
the warmer montls. Inspection of the subject NPDES

Permit revealed your facility is not required to monitor
the influent wastewater stream. If your facility chooses
to continue to submit results of the influent monitoring,
then your facility will need to adhere to the regulations
which require sampling holding refrigerators to be
maintained at less than 40C temperature range. Continual
noncompliance could result in the issuance of a Notice of
Violation and possible civil assessments.
(b) The calibration of the effluent flow meter was last
documented January 30, 1995. Mr. Ashley stated that the
operators regularly calibrate the flow meters, but merely
fail to document their task. According to North Carolina
Administrative Code 15A 2B .0505(b)(1), flow measurement
devices are to be calibrated at least annually. Records
of meter calibration shall be kept on file by the
permittee for a minimum of 3 years. Data to be included
in the documentation shall be the date of calibration and
the name of the person performing the calibration. To
comply with the State regulations and to ensure the
accuracy of the flow measurements, the flow meter will
need immediate calibration and documentation.
(c) Mr. Ashley stated the influent flow meter was installed
within the last 6 to 12 months. If flow measurement is
to be reported to the Division, then this flow meter too
will need immediate calibration and documentation since
no records identifying its calibration date or the
individual who performed the calibration was present.
(d) Clarifier #1, 10 feet in depth and 74 feet in diameter,
had a 2.5 feet sludge blanket. Clarifier #2, 9 feet in
depth and 65 feet in diameter, had a 2.4 feet sludge
blanket. Clarifier #3, 12 feet in depth and 80 feet in
diameter, had a 1.2 feet sludge blanket. The effluent
from each clarifier was clear and free of solids and
foam.
(e) The paint is chipping on the grill located over the
Return Activated Sludge holding tank near Clarifier U .
As discussed with Mr. Ashley, the chipped paint which
falls into the holding tank has the potential of
negatively affecting the wastewater treatment system. It
is strongly recommended by this office that this
potential problem be resolved as soon as possible.
(f) Scattered scum was observed at the effluent end of the
polishing pond. The _presence of the weir prevents the
scum and other possible debris from discharging with the
effluent to the receiving stream. The present scum
should be removed as soon as possible and removed as
often as deemed necessary in the future.
Please submit a written response to items 7(a), (b), (c), (e), and
(f) on or before May 31, 1996.

This laboratory was inspected to verify its compliance with the
requirements of 15A NCAC 2H .0800 for the analysis of environmental
samples.
II. GENERAL COMMENTS:
The staff was very cooperative during the inspection. all questions were
answered courteously and fully.
This is an industrial lab. The lab is in a small building. The lab has
adequate equipment and minimum space. The facility and the equipment are
well maintained. Records are kept on worksheets and in logbooks.
III. DEVIATIONS, REQUIREMENTS, AND COMMENTS:
Refrigerator
Deviation: The temperature of the sample refrigerator is 330F (0.55°C)
the day of the inspection. Cited Previously
Requirement: All sample holding refrigerators must be in the temperature
range of 10C to 4.4°C. This must be documented in a logbook or on a
worksheet. Ref: EPA Letters of January and February, 1995.
and the Federal Register; October 26, 1984, and 15A NCAC 2H .0805 (a)
(7) (J)
Comment: The lab personnel were given copies of the required temperature
ranges as stated in the EPA letters.
Recommendation: Use celsius thermometers for all laboratory temperature
measurements.

Analytical Balance
Deviation: The bubble meter of the analytical balance was out of limits
during the inspection.
Requirement: The bubble meter of the analytical balance must be centered
before the beginning of each mass measurement on the balance.
BOD
Deviation: The pH of the influent is not checked to be within the range
of 6.5 to 7.5 for the 5 day BOD analyses.
Requirement: Check sample pH, adjust to 6.5 - 7.5 if necessary and
document for all samples. "-- Neutralize samples to pH 6.5 to 7.5 ..."
Ref: Standard Methods 18th Edition; Method 5210 B. 4. e. 1)
Deviation: The winter -time samples have initial DOs greater than 9.
Cited Previously
Requirement: The initial DO of the dilution water and samples must fall
in the range of 7 to 9 mg/L. Ref: Standard Methods 18th Edition; Method
5210 B. 4. e. 4)
COD
Deviation: The COD analyses are kept in a mixed analysis logbook.
Requirement: "All laboratories must use printed laboratory bench
worksheets that include a space to enter the signature or initials of
the analyst, date of analyses, sample identification, volume of sample
analyzed, value from the measurement system, factor and final value to
be reported and each item must be recorded each time samples are
analyzed." Ref: 15A NCAC 2H .0805 (a) (7) (H).
Comment: The annual curve is based on a reading of the concentration of
the potassium hydrogen phthalate (in mg/L) versus the concentration in
mg/L as per the readout of the stored curve in the meter.
Recommendation: Prepare a curve annually which consists of at least 5
standard concentrations and a blank. Construct a graph of the curve with
absorbance of the standards versus the their concentrations. Prepare a
curve for the low range tubes and a separate curve for the high range
tubes. One standard must have a value equal to the lab's lower reporting
limit. This must be documented each time an annual curve is analyzed.

(COD continued)
Deviation: The thermometer used to check the dial thermometer on the
side of the digester has a temperature range that is too low to check
the 1500C digestion temperature. Cited Previously
Requirement: All thermometers must be calibrated against a certified
thermometer annually. Ref: 15A NCAC 2H .0805 (a) (7) (0)
Total Suspended Residue
Deviation: A quarterly check sample is not analyzed.
Requirement: A quarterly quality control check standard must be
analyzed. Ref: 15A NCAC 2H .0805 (a) (7) (B)
PH
Deviation: The time the samples are collected are not recorded on the pH
worksheets. The 15 minute holding time is not evident from the
worksheets. Cited Previously
Requirement: The date/time samples are collected and date/time samples
are analyzed must be recorded on the analyst's worksheets. Ref: Federal
Register; Vol. 49, No. 209; Friday, October 26, 1984; Rules and
Regulations; Table II
Comment: The magnetic stirrer may heat up during operation. The lab
personnel are advised to check the stirrer for heat production during
calibration/standardization and sample pH measurement.
If the stirrer heats up please insert a pad over the stirrer plate to
insulate the pH samples from increasing heat exposure.
Specific Conductance
Deviation: The meter is not calibrated in each range of the meter on
each analysis day.

Requirement: A conductivity standard must be analyzed in each range of
the instrument on each analysis day. Ref: Standard Methods 18th Edition;
Method 2510 B. 2. C. 1)
Deviation: The lab has no quality control limits for duplicates and mid-
range check standards for all analyses.
Requirement: When the mid -range standard varies by more than ± 10%, or
is outside the established control limits, whichever is lower, the
analysis is out of control. The analysis should be terminated and the
problem corrected.
Ref: NCAC 15A 2H .0805 (a) (7) (I)
Requirement:Ten percent of all samples must be analyzed in duplicate.
Duplicates must not vary by more than three times the standard variation
for the method. If the variance is more than three times the standard
deviation of the method or falls outside of established control limits,
whichever is lower, corrective action must be taken. Our program
requires analysis of duplicate samples to establish precision.
Ref: NCAC 15A 2H .0805 (a) (7) (C) .
IV. PAPER TRAIL INVESTIGATION:

request another check of the sample.
Sedgefield Specialties sent back an
amended report that lists a value of 0.82
mg/L. We will review the data from
Sedgefield to determine how this happened.
This facility is doing a good job overall. Correcting the above
deviations should help this laboratory to produce quality data and to
meet certification requirements.
