Engineering Alternatives Analyses
Dear Mr. Linville:
As required by the NPDES permit issued to the subject facility, Burlington Industries submitted a
revised Engineering Alternatives Analyses for the Williamsburg wastewater treatment plant. This
report was prepared by Wojek Engineering Associates. On December 12, 1997 you had a
telephone conversation with Donald Wojek regarding the conclusions of the report. This letter
has been prepared to document Burlington Industries proposed action plan.
We propose continued discharge of effluent from outfall 001 without institution of an
alternative discharge method or additional wastewater treatment. Cost estimates presented in
the alternatives analyses demonstrate that the technically feasible methods of alternative
discharge are not economically feasible. Data presented in the alternatives analyses and
available on Discharge Monitoring Reports demonstrates that the existing discharge meets
current and proposed effluent limitations. We do not believe that additional wastewater
treatment and/or alternative disposal of existing wastewater is needed or technically justified.
We propose additional treatment should only be required, if following imposition of new
effluent limitations monitoring demonstrates that the existing treatment facilities cannot meet
those limitations.
The attached table is abstracted from the alternatives analyses. This table presents alternative
disposal methods and associated costs. As you requested, we have added an alternative that
consists of upgrading the existing plant and discharge to the Haw River. We have also shown
the present value of operating the existing facility with a monitoring schedule of five days per -
week.

SUBJECT: Amended Alternative Disposal Analysis
Burlington Industries Williamsburg Plant
NPDES Permit NC000138.1
Dear Mr. Pellei:
The NPDES permit issued to Burlington Industries Williamsburg Plant
requires submittal of an amended alternative disposal analysis. As discussed
below, based on the increased amount of time required to complete the
preliminary phases of this project, we are requesting the due date for this
report be extended to November 24, 1997.
On August 25, 1997 Mr. Mark McIntire, NC DEFITR Permits and
Engineering Unit, Mr. Mike Eaker, NC Licensed Soil Scientist and I met
with you to discuss this project. During this meeting, Mr. Eaker and I
discussed the type and amount of soils work required, and the level of detail
which would be needed, Mr. Eaker and I then pointed out that we could not
. accurately predict how long the soils work would take. The soils work has
taken longer than originally estimated. It is now expected that the soils work
will be finished and a draft soil evaluation report issued by September 30,
1997. Additionally, it has taken an inordinate amount of time to receive
climatic data from the National Climactic Data Center in Asheville, NC.
The detailed engineering evaluation required in the amended report could not
be performed without the completed soils scientist report and climatic data.
Based on our current schedule for the receipt of the soil report and climactic

data, we anticipate the amended alternatives disposal will be completed by
an extended date of November 24, 1997.
Please advise of questions and/or need for additional information.
Very truly yours,

Subject: NPDES Permit No. NC0001384
Burlington Industries

Dear Ms.White:
In accordance with your application for a renewal of discharge permit received on July 28, 1995, we are
forwarding herewith the subject State - NPDES permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of
North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and
the US Environmental Protection Agency dated December 6, 1983.
You raised concerns on several permit requirements in you letter dated March 13, 1996. As you are aware,
the Burlington Industries wastewater treatment plant discharges into a zero flow stream, that is a stream that
has been determined to have no flow under 7Q10 and 30Q2 flow conditions [the minimum average flow for a
period of seven consecutive days that has an average recurrence of once in ten years (7Q10) and the minimum
average flow for a period of 30 consecutive days that has an average recurrence of once in two years
(30Q2)]. Limits for toxic substances, such as ammonia, are based on the 7Q10 conditions. The previous
permit limit for ammonia had been based solely on the oxygen consumption associated with assimilating the
ammonia and had not taken toxicity into consideration. Since the stream has no flow under 7Q10 conditions,
the limit in the permit was revised to protect against the toxic affects of ammonia [15A NCAC 2B
.0206(a)(3)].
An amended alternatives analysis condition was also included in the permit, based upon the review of the
analysis previously submitted. The previous analysis is not adequate. Items which need to be addressed
include:
The spray alternative:
• Spray is aol prohibited on lands draining to watersheds classified as water supply waters. Therefore,
these areas should not be excluded from consideration.
• There is ao maximum application rate. A soils survey needs to be completed to determine application
feasibility and rates (please see attached outline specifying the type of information required).
• Storage must be provided and sized based on water balance calculations (which requires a soils analysis
and rainfall information).
• There is no requirement for aeration of the storage lagoon, therefore, any capital and operation and
maintenance costs associated with the storage lagoon should he removed from the cost evaluation.
• The assumption that 2.5 times the land area required for the spray is the total amount of land needed to
meet all land requirements for the spray fields and buffers needs to he justified. Further documentation of
the actual land evaluated needs to he provided (based on soils analysis and physical features).

The subsurface alternative:
• The soil acceptance rates for subsurface systems can be much higher than for spray systems(1-3
GPD/FT2 for low pressure pipe systems). Usually these systems take up less land than a spray system.
In this analysis,the land requirements were established as 2.7 times the land needed for the spray system,
based upon a much lower acceptance rate. Again,no soils analysis was completed upon which these
rates would be based and lad area requirements established.
The cost analyses:
• For the spray and subsurface systems,the operating costs were based on full operation of an entire new
system. However,the analysis for a continued discharge appears only to have taken into consideration
the additional costs to meet limits of 5 mg/1 BOD5 and 2 mg/1 NH3. In order to compare the present
worth of the different alternatives, the operating costs must be comparable. Therefore,full operational
costs must be generated for the discharge alternative,including continued operation of the existing
facilities, as well as the additional operating costs associated with meeting the more stringent limits.
• No evaluation was made for the laboratory costs associated with each alternative. For example,to
continue to discharge, monitoring is required on a weekly basis as compared to the monthly monitoring
that would be required for a spray irrigation system.
• Our review of the costs associated with the clearing,surveying and soils work for the subsurface and
spray alternatives also raised many questions. On a per acre basis, the costs for each of these items for
the spray system was significantly higher than the subsurface alternative,yet no discussion is included to
account for these differences.
If any parts,measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable to
you,you have the right to an adjudicative hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following
receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition,conforming to Chapter 150B of
the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings,Post Office
Drawer 27447,Raleigh, North Carolina 27611 -7447. Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be
final and binding.
Please take notice this permit is not transferable. Part II, E.4. addresses the requirements to be followed in
case of change in ownership or control of this discharge. This permit does not affect the legal requirements
to obtain other permits which may he required by the Division of Water Quality or permits required by the
Division of Land Resources,Coastal Area Management Act or any other Federal or Local governmental
permit that may be required.
If you have any questions concerning this permit,please contact David A. Goodrich at telephone number
