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 7%. 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 nionths 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 TI-IP3B for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention: NC DENR / DWQ / 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. r t, Permit # NC0043320 SUPPLEMENT TO EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS SPECIAL CONDITIONS- continued A (4).

The facility has been permitted by North Carolina since the late '70s. The facility manufactures textured yarn and woven fabric. Manufacturing processes subject the operation to 40 CFR 410 — Textile Mills Point Source Category. More specifically, 410.32 applies, with the yarn texturizing portion of production covered by the General Processing subcategory and the woven fabric portion covered by the Water Jet Weaving subcategory. Effluent limitations for BOD, COD, and TSS were originally based on effluent guidelines. Based on observed water quality problems in the late 1980s, a field calibrated QUAL2E model was developed for Hitchcock Creek in the early 90s. The model indicated that a tightening of effluent limitations for the three active discharges (Burlington Industries, Laurel Hills, and Rockingham) was necessary in order to protect the dissolved oxygen standard. In the ensuing years, Laurel Hills ceased discharge and Rockingham planned a relocation to the Pee -Dee river. The changes (both present and future) in Hitchcock Creek seemed to warrant a re-evaluation of the assimilative capacity for oxygen -consuming wastes. In February of 2000, such a re-evaluation was completed. The QUAL2E model was resurrected and run under several new scenarios. Even with Rockingham and Laurel Hill no longer discharging to the creek, the model predicted violations of the DO standard downstream of the Steel Mill Dam. Burlington Industries has requested BOD limits be based on effluent guidelines. The only way for BOD limits to be based on effluent guidelines instead of water quality is if the dam is removed. The dam is the DO limiting factor in the system. Furthermore, the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basinwide Water Quality Management Plan indicates that any additional BOD loading is likely to cause dissolved oxygen problems due to the extremely limited assimilative capacity for oxygen -consuming wastes. NPDES Permit Fact Sheet - 06/08/04 Page 2 Burlington Industries NCO043320 Hitchcock Creek is currently listed on the State's 303(d) list as impaired (not supporting its designated uses). Problem parameters include pH, sediment, and fecal coliform. It is not evident that the discharge from this facility is contributing to impairment. Limit Development- Otctfiall 001 Burlington Industries provided 5 years (1999-2003) of daily average production data for both the weaving and yarn texturizing operations. A four-year LTA was used to calculate technology - based effluent limits (1999 data was omitted because it was used for the last permit renewal). These values were 117,239 lbs/day for weaving operations and 118,1301bs/day for texturizing operations. Note that these numbers are different than the data provided in the renewal application, which used 2002 data. Table 1 summaries daily average production by year.

The receiving stream has historically shown signs of over allocation for oxygen -consuming wastes. NPDES Permit Fact Sheet - 06/08/04 Burlington Industries Page 3 NCO043320 The portion of the receiving stream into which Burlington discharges is listed on the 2002 303(d) list. Problem parameters have been identified as pH, sediment, and fecal coliform. A QUAL2E model was developed in 1992 to study the fate of oxygen -consuming materials in the creek. The model suggested that all dischargers needed more stringent limits for BOD than those specified in federal guidelines. Given the results of this model, it is recommended that effluent limitations for BOD remain unchanged with limits for COD and TSS based on current production data. The production -based limits in this permit will be slightly lower than the limits given in the previous permit due to a slight decrease in average daily production. Table 4 compares the proposed limits to the previous limits.

Average monthly effluent values were 5.6 mg/L and 0.94 mg/L, respectively. Outfall 002 did not have any effluent limits, however they were required to monitor flow, temperature, TRC, and pH levels at the discharge location. The facility will receive TRC limits of 28 /cg/L at both outfalls during this renewal. Average TRC levels at outfall 001 were 57 µg/L, so some type of dechlorination will be required, however average levels at outfall 002 were only 21 fig/L. Since June 2003, the facility has been a member of the YPDRBMA. Prior to that time they conducted their own instream monitoring. Data from June 2002 through June 2003 shows that the facility does not appear to have an impact on the receiving water. RPA Analysis RPAs were performed for zinc, copper, fluoride and chloride. The facility exceeded allowable concentrations for all parameters except fluoride, however as zinc, copper, and chloride are action level parameters and Burlington is not experiencing chronic toxicity problems, they will not receive limits. Current monitoring frequencies will remain in place for these parameters. NPDES Permit Fact Sheet — 06/08/04 Burlington Industries Page 4 NCO043320 There are measurable levels of fluoride in the permittee's effluent, although not at levels to exceed water quality criteria, therefore fluoride monitoring will remain at a quarterly frequency. WET Test Results Burlington Industries has passed all 17/17 chronic WET tests conducted since January 2000.

The facility produces unfinished cloth for apparel wear. This facility does not dye cloth. 2. The manual bar screen appeared to be operational with all screenings disposed of through the county landfill. 3. The aeration basins are both operational. One aeration basin is utilized for treatment of wastewater while the other is basically a standby. Basin # 1 contains two (2) aerators and one (1) mixer. The aerators are set on timers that allow the aerators to be switched every 10 minutes and operate 4 minutes. 4. The two (2) clarifiers were operational. In clarifier #1 there was 1.5 feet of sludge and in clarifier #2 there was 3 feet of sludge. The skimmer arms appear to have paint worn from the surface. These areas should be painted in the near future to eliminate major repairs in the future. 5. Chlorine is added to the influent to assist with disinfection. 6. The effluent appeared to have some fine floc not excessive. The effluent (001) and cooling water (002) are discharged separately but they flow into a central pipe which is located across the road from the wastewater facility. It then flows to Hitchcock Creek. The cooling water (002) was observed during the inspection and it appeared to be free of solids and no color noted. 7. The effluent composite sampler temperature was 0 degrees Celsius. The acceptable temperature range of samples during storage and for stored sample extracts, is 1.0 to 4.4 degrees Celsius. Ref: Federal Register, July 1, 1995; 40 CFR 136; Table 11. The effluent composite sampler is flow proportional by constant time/variable volume collection. 8. The effluent flow meter was calibrated August 20, 2003 by facility staff Mr. Bill Thompson. 9. The aerobic digester is operational but sludge wasting has not been necessary as per Ms. Quick. Sludge from the clarifiers are recirculated back into the aeration basin. The scum scraped from the top of the clarifiers are pumped to the digester. 10. Sludge drying beds are on site to assist with disposal if necessary. 11. The grounds were neat and clean. 12. Maintenance is completed by staff through computer generated work orders. All maintenance and facility records were well documented. 13. The facility has field parameter certification #5061 for the following parameters: pH, DO, Conductivity and Temperature. Microbac analyzes the remaining NPDES permit parameters with the exception of Toxicity, which is completed by Similabs. A cursory lab inspection revealed all pH standard expirations were adequate. The Total Chlorine Residual standards expired June 3, 2003. Ms. Quick communicated during the inspection that those standards would be purchased immediately. -continued- 14. A compliance report for the period May 2002 through May 2003 revealed that there were not any violations for that period. 15. Laboratory records were reviewed for the period December 2002 and January 2003 and compared to Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs). All records reviewed appeared to be neat and organized. THE NPDES PERMIT EXPIRES FEBRUARY 299 2004. The facility is presently working on the renewal package. AS A REMINDER THE RENEWAL SHOULD BE COMPLETED AND SENT TO THE NPDES PERMITTING UNIT IN RALEIGH WITHIN 180 DAYS OF EXPIRATION. Name and Signature of Inspector Agency/Office/Telephone Date. Belinda S.

Mrs. Valery Stephens NC DENR - Water Quality/Point Source Branch 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 Subject: Renewal Application NPDES Permit NCO043320 Burlington Industries -Richmond Plant Richmond County Dear Mrs. Stephens: 0 Executive Offices PO Box 21207 Greensboro, North Carolina 27420 August 29,2003 SEP -' Attached is the renewal application for Burlington Industries -Richmond Plant, NPDES Permit NC0043320. Our current NPDES permit expires on February 29, 2004. The data used for this application, except for the priority pollutant analysis, was from calendar year 2002. The priority pollutant analysis was performed from samples taken in 2003. Water usage and the subsequent effluent discharge volumes were noticeably lower for 2002 due to soft business conditions. The average daily production levels listed in Form 2C III.0 are also lower than in the past. We expect business conditions to improve in the future resulting in increased production levels and effluent discharge levels returning closer to our permit limits. Considering our past excellent performance on the quarterly toxicity tests, Burlington Industries would request a reduction of frequency for the toxicity test on our renewed permit. Please call me at 336-379-2955 if you have any questions. Sincerely, Scott Townson Corporate Staff Environmental Engineer Richmond NPDES Renewal doc 1 M Jr. A.
