warrant classification in another more appropriate subcategory.
(e) For every wastewater shipment discharged by the Permittee, the Permittee shall
maintain records showing the basis for subcategorization.
H. PROHIBITED WASTEWATER
The Permittee may not discharge any wastewater that had a total cyanide concentration greater
than 5.0 mg/1 at the time of collection from the source, unless the Permittee segregates this
wastewater during collection and transportation and then removes and/or destroys the cyanide
before mixing with any other wastewater discharged to the POTW.
I. SEGREGATION OF WASTEWATERS
Throughout collection, transportation, storage, treatment and discharge the Permittee shall
completely segregate the Subpart C-Organic waste streams from the Multiple waste streams
wastewater [Subparts A & B - Metals Wastes and Oily Wastes].

PERMIT WRITERS NOTES: FOR PIPE 01 AND PIPE 02
1. This facility combines Subpart A and Subpart B wastestreams for
pretreatment and discharges the combined treated wastestreams through
Pipe 01. Thus the discharge standards are taken from Subpart D Multiple
Wastewaters in 40 CFR Part 437.
2. Pipe 02 discharge standards come from Subpart C: Organics Treatment &
Recovery
3. Although Greensboro has issued several bubble permits, this facility can
never be bubbled due to the different Categorical standards for each pipe.
4. The solidification process was moved from the Shamrock II -Patton Avenue
facility to this location in 2017.
5. This facility has an effluent meter that is used for billing and compliance.
Although Greensboro does not encourage the use of effluent metering, it is
imperative for this facility to have one since most of their flow volume has
been brought on -site and would not be measured through the incoming
potable water meter.
6. Due to the nature of this type of facility, the permit contains several unique
site -specific special conditions (ammonia profiles, wastestream profiles, in -
plant wastestream tracking, etc.)
7. Currently each pipe has a dedicated sludge press and return wastewater from
each pipe is segregated. The facility is considering installing one larger
sludge press and the permit will be modified accordingly at that time to
specify the treatment train for that single wastestream.
8. North Carolina has only a few Centralized Waste Treatment plants and there
is a benefit to the pretreatment program and POTWs to have a CWT locally
available to treat the most difficult to treat wastestreams. This facility also
provides emergency response to spills, operational staff for pretreatment
processes, and conducts waste solidification processes.
