ultrasonic (doppler and transit) meter, must have the meter calibrated/verified once
every five years.
2. Industries with effluent wastewater meters that are used for City of Greensboro sewer
billing purposes (either total gallon calculation or deduct) must calibrate the meters
annually. Permanent records in the form of electronic data trend sheets, strip or
circular chart recordings that have back-up and fail-safe capabilities are also required to
be maintained.
3. Any industry may conduct meter calibration more frequently than required in this
permit.
September 1, 2018 Permit Renewal
Page 9, SIU Permit #P068
SHAMROCK II — PATTON AVENUE
The following flow meters/systems have no calibration requirements:
Industries with custom built Memtek pretreatment systems have a permanently
calibrated flow measurement system (as long as the plumbing remains intact and the
viscosity of the liquid does not change) and no calibration is required.
Industries with a non -discharge closed -loop system are not required to have any meter
on the system calibrated.
Industries that record daily flow from a City of Greensboro owned, maintained, and
calibrated incoming potable water meter or deduct meter are not required to have the
meters calibrated.
Industries with an electronic data base with power back do not need to maintain redundant
paper recorders.

PERMIT WRITERS NOTES:
1. The solidification processes were moved from this facility to the Shamrock Brown
Summit facility in 2017.
2. This facility has an effluent meter used for billing and compliance.
3. As per allowed in 40 CFR Part 442, this facility chose to develop a Pollutant Management
Plan (PMP) in lieu of accepting the 3 categorical discharge limits (mercury, copper and
Oil and Grease/SGT-HEM) in the regulation. Greensboro has issued a Local Pollutant
Allocation at the same concentration for all 3 parameters. [NOTE: The other
Greensboro SIU that is subject to 40 CFR Part 442 chose to accept the limits.]
4. Conversations with EPA headquarters confirmed that an SIU that chooses the PMP
option does not have to comply with the limits in the regulation. However, if the
concentrations of the 3 parameters are excessive, the SIU can be cited for ineffective
implementation of their PMP.
