MEMORANDUM
TO: File
FROM:
Paul B. Clark
THROUGH:
Coleen Sullins, P.E.
Dave Goodrich
SUBJECT:
Adjudication of NPDES Permit No. NC0004260 (CR Industries)
DATE:
February 13, 1997
a�_ 1. Permittee Concern: The proposed pounds per day discharge limitations for copper, lead,
silver, zinc, and TTO have been added that will drastically reduce the allowable discharge of
these listed metals. The pounds per day provision is based on pollutant concentration at a
discharge flow rate of around 43,000 gpd, much less than the maximum of 148,000 gpd
flow which is permitted. The pounds per day limitation will not lend itself to our current and
planned mode of operation. That is, typically CR Industries will treat and discharge more
water on Monday and Tuesday than in the remainder of the week. This is the result of the
wastewater generated.on Saturday and Sunday being retained in the 150,000 gallon influent
pond to be treated in the beginning of the week. A pound per day limitation based on a flow
less then our maximum permissible flow rate may result in our non-compliance.
1. Division Response: The Division reviewed its calculations for discharge limitations for
copper, lead, silver, zinc, and TTO and concurs with CR Industries' comments. Permitted
flow should have been used in converting concentrations to mass loadings instead of actual
flow. Recalculations produced increased mass loading limits and a revised effluent sheet
was faxed to Layton Schuh on February 7, 1997.
off, 2. Permittee Concern: The proposed concentration limitations for TTO, copper, silver, and
especially zinc have been reduced. In 1996, CR Industries made improvements in the
manufacturing process to both reduce wastewater volume as well as the discharge
concentrations of zinc and other associated metals. These improvements were made to allow
for future additional production. The proposed reduced concentration limitation may impact
CR Industries implementation of future process capabilities.
-r
2. Division Response: To determine the permitted discharge limits for toxicants in the
permit, the federal CFR effluent guideline concentration was multiplied by production flow
divided by actual (total of production and non -production flows) flow to account for dilution
of the non -production flow. The Division commends CR Industries for the improvements
made to reduce wastewater volume and discharge concentrations. CR Industries' potential
future additional production does not necessarily imply a greater percentage of production
flow and increased discharge concentrations. CR may submit projected production and non -
production flows which the Division can examine to determine if the limits should be
modified. Yet, CR Industries' continued system improvements may maintain fairly constant
dilution even with increased production thus, eliminating the need for revised limits.

tl
�� 3. Permittee Concern: The total nitrogen and total phosphorus sampling frequency has been
changed from monthly to weekly and the iron from monthly to bimonthly. These
frequencies were changed from what was in the draft permit.
3. Division Response: The total nitrogen and total phosphorus sampling frequencies were a•.
quarterly in the previous permit and have been changed to monthly. As stated in the Special .. p
Condition pertaining to nutrients, the Division of Water Quality through intensive water `� �
quality studies has determined that discharges upstream of Lake Wylie need to control
nutrients through the application of the best available technology (BAT) that is economically 4'
achievable. To better monitor CR Industries' effluent with regards to these two nutrients, a-
the monitoring frequencies have been increased. The iron frequency was changed from
monthly to 2/month to abide by Division of Water Quality policy.
t
4. Permittee Concern: A (4) Special Conditions - Connection to POTW' d �•
The condition that CR Industries would connect to the Crowder Creek PQTW within 180
days after notification from your Department is unacceptable. CR Industries' position is that `� V
if we maintained compliance with a NPDES permit there is -no justification for the added p�
expense of connecting to the Crowder Creek PQTW that has historically demonstrated non- g1
compliance.
4_Division Response: The Division encourages connection of individual facilities to CL
regional wastewater treatment facilities when feasible. Crowders Creek WWTP has
historically demonstrated non-compliance, however, they have been in compliance for about
the past year. In addition, CR Industries' effluent discharge line passes under a sewer main
leading to Crowders Creek WWTP. The Division acknowledges that City of Gastonia w
WWTP pretreatment limits are stringent. However, the Division believes CR Industries'
connection to Crowders Creek would better protect the receiving water than the two separate 9
existing discharges. Therefore, efforts should be made between CR Industries and Gastonia
to achieve a workable agreement for CR Industries' connection to Crowders Creek WWTP.
5. Permittee Concern: A (S) Special Conditions -Nutrients �
The condition that CR Industries conduct a BAT economic feasible study for nutrients is
unacceptable. CR Industries believes that the Catawba River Basin Management Plan
recommendations intended that the nutrient limitation and BAT be directed to major NPDES A61)
discharges of over 1 mgd. This condition was not included in the draft permit. f
5. Division Response: The Catawba River Basin Management Plan recommendations state
that all industrial discharges be examined individually because best available technology
(BAT) is not clearly defined for them. The Division will require the industries in tJ e
management area to reduce TP and TN to BAT levels. � -A J,A

Water Quality Regional Supervisor
Mooresville Regional Office
From: Coleen Sullins, P.E.
Permits and Engineering Unit Supervisor
Subject: CR Industries
Permit No. NCO004260
Gaston County
In accordance with Water Quality Section procedures, please review the attached petition
filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings. Please evaluate the objections raised by
the permittee and provide me with your comments within ten (10) working days of your
receipt of this package.
The items under adjudication are:
The proposed pounds per day discharge limits for copper, lead, silver, zinc and TTO will
reduce the allowable discharge of these metals. A pounds -per -day limit based on a flow less
then CR Industries's maximum permissable flow rate may result in non-compliance.
The proposed limitations for copper, silver, TTO, and zinc have been reduced. This
reduction may impact the implementation of future process capabilities. Our
disagreement, with regard to these two issues, focuses on the development mass limits.
The total nitrogen and total phosphorus sampling frequency has been changed from
monthly to weekly and the iron from monthly to bimonthly. These requirements are not
consistent with the monitoring requirements listed in the draft permit.
It is unacceptable to state that CR Industries will connect to Crowders Creek POTW within
180 days after notification by our Division.
The condition that states that CR Industries must conduct an economic feasibility study to
determine BAT for nutrient removal is also unacceptable. This condition was not included
in the draft, and it is our belief that the intent of the Catawba River Basin Management
Plan was to require major NPDES dischargers to conduct BAT economic feasibility studies.
If you have any comments, please contact Paul Clark or me at [phone], extension 550.

CR Industries - Gaston County
Office of Administrative Hearings: cn
Pursuant to my recent telephone conversation with Paul Clark with the Division of Water
Quality concerning the subject final permit, this letter is to notify your Department that CR
Industries is challenging certain provisions and limitations that you have issued and is
requesting an adjudicative hearing.
Our concerns are as follows:
A. (1) Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements
The proposed pounds per day discharge limitations for copper, lead, silver,
zinc, and TTO have been added that will drastically reduce the allowable
discharge of these listed metals. The pounds per day provision is based on
pollutant concentration at a discharge flow rate of around 43,000 gpd, much
less than the maximum of 148,000 gpd flow which is permitted. The
pounds per day limitation will not lend itself to out current and planned mode
of operation. That is, typically CR Industries will treat and discharge more
water on Monday and Tuesday than in the remainder of the week, This is the
result of the wastewater generated on Saturday and Sunday being retained in
the 150,000 gallon influent pond to be treated in the beginning of the week. A
pounds per day limitation based on a flow less then our maximum permissible
flow rate may result in our non-compliance.
2. The proposed concentration limitation for TTO, copper, silver, and especially
zinc have been reduced. In 1996, CR Industries made improvements in the
manufacturing process to both reduce wastewater volume as well as the
discharge concentrations of zinc and other associated metals. These
improvements were made to allow for future additional production. The
proposed reduced concentration limitation may impact CR Industries
implementation of future process capabilities.

3. The total nitrogen and total phosphorus sampling frequency has been changed
from monthly to weekly and the iron from monthly to bimonthly. These
frequencies were changed from what was in the draft permit.
A (4) Special Conditions - Connection to POTW
1. The condition that CR Industries would connect to the Crowder Creek
POTW within 184 days after notification from your Department is
unacceptable. CR Industries' position is that if we maintained
compliance with a NPDES permit there is no justification for the added
expense of connecting to the Crowder Creek POTW that has historically
demonstrates non-compliance.
A. (5) Nutrients
The condition that CR Industries conduct a BAT economic feasible study
for nutrients is unacceptable. CR Industries believes that the Catawba
River Basin Management Plan recommendations intended that the
nutrient limitation and BAT be directed to major NPDES discharges of
over I mgd. This condition was not included in the draft permit.
Upon review of our concerns please contact me if you have any questions.

Subject: NPDES Permit Issuance
Permit No. NCO004260
CR Industries
Gaston County
Dear Mr. Schuh:
In accordance with the application for a discharge permit received on March 25, 1996, the Division is
forwarding herewith the subject 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
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated December 6, 1983.
The Division received'the November 12, 1996 letter from Karen Heater (Resolve Environmental)
stating CR Industries' intent to modify NPDES Permit No. NC0004260. As Paul Clark of our staff
discussed with Karen Heater, the Division requests additional information before the modification
application is considered complete. Specifically, the Division requests that an alternatives analysis be
conducted which addresses; connection to a POTW, use of a subsurface infiltration gallery, and use of a
spray irrigation system. This alternatives analysis should examine not only the flow generated by the
groundwater remediation, but CR Industries' entire wastewater flow. Groundwater monitoring analytical
results should also be sent to the Division so that the groundwater contamination constituents can be
identified. The method(s) used to analyze the groundwater should be provided along with the results.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are
unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory 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 note that 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 be required by
the Division of Water Quality or permits required by the Division of Land Resources or any other Federal or
Local governmental permit that may be required.

A (2) CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in
1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic Bioassay
Procedure - Revised *September 1989) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality
is 3.3 % (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document). The permit holder shall perform
quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance with the permit condition. The first test will be
performed after thirty days from the effective date of this permit during the months 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.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge
Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code TGP3B.
Additionally, DWQ Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Water Quality
4401 Reedy Creek Road
Raleigh, N.C. 27607
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements performed in
association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity
sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly monitoring will
begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this monthly test requirement will
revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
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 and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate
retesting(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit suitable test results will constitute
noncompliance with monitoring requirements.
A (3) NUTRIENT CONDITIONS FOR PERMITS WITHOUT PHOSPHORUS LIMITS
This permit may be modified, or revoked and reissued to include an effluent limitation on nutrients for this
discharge depending upon the following:
1. The findings of a study by the Division of Water Quality determine nutrient control is necessary.
2. Local actions do not successfully reduce the nutrient loading on the receiving waters.
3. The onset of problem conditions in the receiving waters.

A (4) This discharge has been targeted for removal for the Crowders Creek drainage basin through connection to
the City of Gastonia Crowders Creek Wastewater Treatment Facilities. Upon the demonstration of compliance
with NPDES Permit NCO074268 by the Crowders Creek Wastewater Treatment Facility to the satisfaction of the
Director of Water Quality and the availability of a sewer connection to the Crowders Creek system as the most
environmentally sound alternative of the reasonably cost-effective alternatives this discharge shall be eliminated
within one hundred eighty (180) day of notification by the Division.
A (5) NUTRIENTS
It has been determined by the Division of Water Quality through intensive water quality studies that discharges
upstream of Lake Wylie, including this discharge, need to control nutrients through the application of the best
available technology (BAT) that is economically achievable. The permittee shall provide the Division with a study
which fully investigates the feasibility of meeting a monthly average TP limit of 1.0 mg/l, and a summertime TN
limit of 6 mg/l. If it is determined to be beyond reasonable BAT to reach such concentrations of nutrients, the
Division will apply BAT limits based on the result of this study and the performance of other similar plants.
The nutrient study should be completed by November 1, 1999, and submitted to the following address:

NPDES Permit Modification Application

Resolve Project No. 527.07
Dear Mr. Goodrich:
Resolve Environmental Services, P.A. (Resolve) respectfully notifies the North
Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources (DEHNR)
of our intent to modify the NPDES permit recently issued in draft to the CR
Industries facility located in Gastonia, North Carolina. CR Industries and the
former owner of the facility, Coltec Industries Inc, were recently directed by the
Mooresville Regional Office of the DEHNR to remediate solvent -affected
groundwater at the facility.
A pump and treat system is proposed to be constructed at the facility. Based on
pilot testing and site geology/hydrogeology, we anticipate that the system will be
designed to recover and treat groundwater gi lili, l e� ge of eight to ten gallons
per minute (gpm) or 11,520 to, 14,400 gallons per ay (gpd). Currently, the
Gastonia Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) does not have sanitary sewer
lines extended near the facility. We, therefore, desire to modify the current
NPDES permit maintained by this CR Industries facility to include the
groundwater treated by the proposed remediation system.
Based on telephone conversations with Mr. Paul Clark, we understand that this
notification to NPDES Permit Group is the initial step to modifying the NPDES
permit. In the event that this proposed modification is amenable to the NPDES
Permit Group, Resolve, on behalf of CR Industries and Coltec Industries, will

Mr. David Goodrich

forward a complete description of the proposed groundwater treatment system
design. Following review of the system design, we understand that the NPDES
Permit Group will issue an Authorization to Construct letter including the required
modification to the existing NPDES permit.
We trust this letter provides you with the necessary information to evaluate this
proposed modification to the CR Industries NPDES permit.
Please contact us at [phone] if you require additional information or have
any questions.
Sincerely,
Resolve Environmental Services, P.A.

Subject: Draft NPDES Permit
Permit No. NC0004260
CR Industries

Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft permit for the above referenced facility. This letter addresses
the following three changes from the previous permit: toxicants' limits changes, a total suspended solids
limit change and a pH monitoring frequency change. Perhaps most importantly, this letter responds to
your concern that several of the parameters' limits are more stringent in this draft permit than the previous
existing permit.
This discussion in this letter first focuses on effluent limitations and monitoring requirements for toxicants
because this is the section of the permit which has the most changes. The table below provides existing
and proposed limits and monitoring requirements in the proposed and existing permits:

As shown above, the majority of parameters have less stringent limits in the proposed draft permit than in
the existing permit. Of those parameters' limits that are more stringent in the proposed draft permit, the
differences between the existing and proposed permit limits are minimal.

Second, the monthly average limit for TSS has changed from 31.0 mg/i to 30.0 mgll. The 30.0 mg/l limit
is standard for the majority of facilities that discharge to surface waters in North Carolina. The 31.0 TSS
limit was likely a typographical error.
Fianlly, CR Industries is a Class IV treatment facility. North Carolina Regulations 15A NCAC 2B .0500 -
Surface Water Monitoring: Reporting specifies that Class IV facilities are to monitor daily for BOD5, TSS,
dissolved oxygen, temperature, NH3 as N, fecal coliform, and oil and grease. The existing permit
specifies weekly monitoring for these parameters. CR Industries was granted weekly monitoring based on
a request made prior to the issuance of the permit during the last renewal period, pH will be changed from
daily to weekly monitoring to be consistent with the other parameters in the permit. CR Industries is
already under a reduced monitoring schedule and therefore a further reduction in monitoring will not be
granted by the State.
If you have any questions concerning this draft permit, please contact Paul B. Clark at telephone number
[phone], extension 580.

NPDES Permit Renewal Application
NC0004260
By this letter and its attachments, CR Industries is applying for the renewal and
modification of its current NPDES permit. Enclosed is a check for $400 to cover the
application fee.
Our request for modification of the current permit is to reduce the monitoring
frequency for all the metals which include chromium, cadmium, copper, lead, nickel,
silver, zinc, and cyanide from weekly or bimonthly to monthly. We are also
requesting that the weekly sampling frequency for BOD, DO, TSS, NH3, and
oils/grease be reduced to monthly. It is CR Industries' belief that the historical
sampling events and their results justify this modification to the permit.
If you have any questions, please contact me.

Instructions
The rurpose of oafs document and the accompanying memo is to standardize the sampling, analysis and reponing ;cc c�dures. to be used
for the ;nnual Pollutant Analysis Moriitonng (APAM) Requirement as described in the permit.
Sampling
i • Take a 24-11our comccsite sample from tale final effluent during mid -week tWednescay through=rcay). Collect a grab sample for the volatile
organic fraction when collection of the 244nour composite sample is comp. eted. Follow any other samptir.g instructions provided by the lanoratery
peror-ming the analysis.
2 Indicate in the space provided at the top of this page whether a corresponding sample far toxicity testing was taken.
3 - Make note at any unusual wastewater treatment operating conditions occurring an the day of sampling in the spaca provided on the form.
Analysis
- Analyze the effluent far oolfutants listed on the APAM farm, ircludirg those to be identified and approximately quantified under the 10
significant peaks rule, using appropriate EPA -approved methods for each of the analytic fractions. Cther analytical methods can be substituted
cniy with prior, written approval of the Cirectcrof the Division of Environmental Management (CEM). Read and distribute to the laboratory
perar ing the analysis the accompanying memo (Tedder, Cctcber 1990) clarifying analytical requirements.
Identify chemicals to be analyzed for acccrdfng to the 10 significant peaks rule (as desc ibed in item 2 of the Annual Pollutant Analysis
,Monitoring Requirement in the permit) using a GC;MS library search. Tentative identification is all that Is required; confirmation by standard
injection is not necessary. Estimate Lie concentration of each based on an internal standard having the closest retention time.
Reporting
6 • Cuantitation Limit Targets that should be met are listed on this Revised APAM Reporting Form A. Report the use of any higher quantita-
tion limit and an explanation as to why the listed quantitaticn limit target could not be met Examples of acceptable reasons for not meeting
a quantRation limit target could be high background concentrations in a samcle, or the necessity for sample fraction dilution to bring a chemical
to with.in a quantifiable concentration. List any quantitation limit differtent (whether higher or lower) from the target in the column provided
for this purpose-
7 • It a chemical is found to be Below the quantitation limit, report the concentration detected as less than (or'< ) the quantitation limit
in the appropriate space. Provide a concentration estimate for chemicals detected in concentrations greater than the detection limit and less
than the quantitation limit. Enter the detection limit in parent'teses beside the estimate. C1lemicals detected in concentrations above the quan-
titation limits must be quantified. Cuantitation limit and detection limit are defined in the accompanying memo (Tedder, October 1990). Enter
the total number of peaks detected in each analytic fraction in the appropriate spats on this Revised APAM Form A. Report all concentrations
in units of micrograms per liter (ugll) and metals as total recoverable metal. If no peaks to be identified under the 10 significant peaks rule .
are observed. enter "none" in the space provided for "other" compounds in each appropriate analytic fraction section. Provide the concentra-
tion estimate and retention time for "unknowns" as well as for "significant peaks" for which a structural assignment can be made.
8 • If "significant peaks" are found, provide probable molecular weight, library match probabiiisty, retention time, identification basis, and
MS scan number for earn. In addition, list internal standards and their retention times.
9 - In the section labeled "Organic Analytical Information" (p. 9), include for eac.t organic fraction the method, extraction technique, GC
cperacing conditions. and surrogate recovery. Report the size of the GC.MS library being utilized in the appropriate space.
10 • Use copies of this Annual Pollutant Analysis Monitoring Revised Form A to report the results of the analysis. Eoth the analytical laboratory
representative and the facility operator in responsible charge should sign completed terms (last page).
11 • Mail two completed copies of the form (and the laboratory report, if submitted to the facility on a different form) to: A T i N: Cant -at Files,

Because the end -of -pipe discharge includes non -contact cooling water and other miscellaneous flows which are
not part of the production flow, the limits were applied to the production flows only. Then the dilution from the
non -contact cooling water and other miscellaneous flows were accounted for to derive end -of -pipe limits. The
following chart outlines those numbers:
Production
Flows
Non -Production Flows
Total Flow
33,800 + 700 = 34,500 gallons/day

CHRONIC TOXICITY PASSIFAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in:
1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic
Bioassay Procedure - Revised *September 1989) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or
significant mortality is 3.3 % (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document).
The permit holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance
with the permit condition. The first test will be performed after thirty days from the effective date of
this permit during the months of Feb., May, Aug., and Nov. Effluent sampling for this
testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment
processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter
code TGP3B. Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
4401 Reedy Creek Road
Raleigh, N.C. 27607
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements
performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual
chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must he measured and reported if chlorine is employed for
disinfection of the waste stream.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly
monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this
monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management 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 and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and
will require immediate rete sting (within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit
suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements. �

Wasteload Allocation Summary
(approach taken, correspondence with region, EPA, etc.)
This facility will need to continue to look at alternatives when they become available, including
connection to the Crowders Creek Regional WWTP.
Changes in limits gener accountable to increased•s7Q10 which was developed during last
renewal but not applied as modeling analysis had not yet been completed. P & E requested limits
be recommended in terms of mass loading. Water Quality limits based upon State Standards will
be applied to cadmium, chromium, cyanide, lead, and nickel, therefore these will be recommended
for concentration based limits to ensure that the instream concentration is not exceeded.

the modeling for both of these facilities indicated a sag at these distances from the effluent pipe(s),
if it would be ea:eirel
the-fa 11 es, they could monitor at these downstream locations:
CR Industries1108
(should remain re r ended in permit as this is first and closest downstream bridge
crossing)
Walnut Cove 300' downstream
(the model sag is still above 6.0 mg/1 and the small amount of discharge from this facility shouldn't
have more than a localized effect)

Town of Walnut Cove - similarly, why is downstream monitoring station 2 miles downstream (at
confluence of Lick Creek and Town Fork Creek)??
I let Dave know that you are working on developing a coordinated instream monitoring effort that
will probably include Town of Madison.

CR Industries has applied for renewal of' their NPDI FS permit to discharge 0.143 MGD
treated industrial wastewater and have requested the following modifications to their permit:
I) Reduce monitoring frequency for cadmium, chromium, copper, cyanide, lead, nickel,
silver, and zinc from weekly or bimonthly to monthly.
2) Reduce BOD,' DO, TSS, NH3, and oil grease monitoring from weekly to monthly.
CR Industries has two main industrial processes: zinc phosphatin�g, and rubber molding.
CR Industries' wastewater generating processes include stamping cold rolled steel (CRS)
components, alkaline cleaning and phosphating CRS components, alkaline cleaning of
synthetic elastorner molds, sanitary waste, and cooling water.
WLA Surnmar
To determine CR effluent requirements, two sets of allowable effluent concentrations were
calculated and compared. One set of effluent concentrations were calculated using 40 CFR
guidelines and multiplying concentrations provided in the CFR by flow ratios to determine
allowable effluent concentrations accounting for dilution in the industrial process. The
second set of effluent concentrations were determined using permitted and 7Q10S flows
and instreamn water quality standards (the standard instream dilution calculation).
Comparison of these two sets of concentrations revealed that effluent concentrations using
the instream water quality standard were more stringent the 40 CFR guidelines except in the
case of lead. Therefore, effluent limits for cadmium, chromium, nickel, and cyanide are
based on instream water quality standard and while limit for lead is based on 40 CFR
guideline. In addition, effluent limits for copper, silver, and zinc are also based on 40 CFR
guidelines because there are no water quality standards for these parameters (only action
levels). For additional information on this procedure, please refer to WLA file and permit
writer notes.
CR discharges to Crowders Creek (Class C) which flows into Lake Wylie in the Catawba
River Basin.
CR sewerline passes over the Crowders Creek WWTP sewerline. It is not economically
feasible for CR to connect because Gastonia's pretreatment requirements would be more
stringent than those in the NPDES permit and sewer connection fee would be very
expensive.
Three issues are highlighted in draft permit cover letter:
1. Comparison between toxicant limits between existing and proposed permits.
2. TSS typographical error has been changed.
3. Confirmation of CR's reduced monitoring frequency for several parameters.
Future Note: A groundwater remediation NPDES discharge application will be
forthcoming. Col Tech (previous owner of facility before CR) has assumed responsibility
and cost of initiating groundwater remediation and securing necessary permits and
approvals and CR will operate systern after it is in place. The proposal is for groundwater
remediation discharge to be included in CR process wastewater permit. Thus a permit
modification will be required.

1975: BP CT limits for conventional parameters, (no numbers cited) and Cr (2.7 mgA) and Oil & Grease (10 mg/1)
limits w/ Zinc, Phosphorus, and Total Iron monitoring.
1976: Facility under name Garlock, Inc and recommended limits, (based on EPA findings) were 5 mgA BODS ,
14 mg/I NH3-N, 7 mgA TSS, 1,000 / 100 mL fecal coliform, 6 - 9 SU pH, 90° F / A 50 F temperature,
0.118 mg/I Cr, 10 mgA Oil & Grease, 0.118 mg/I Zinc, 0.236 mg/I Phosphorus, 0.236 mg/I Iron,
0.118 mgA Copper, 0.087 mgA Cyanide, 0.174 mgA Phenols.
1978: Recommended limits were Secondary for conventional limits and similar to 1976 for other toxics, except that
ALL toxics were now limited in both concentration (mg/1) and mass Ibs/d) - refer WLA for actual numbers.
1982: Higher than Secondary limits given for BOD5 and NH3, with concentration limits for many metals. Second
WLA submitted w/ both concentration and mass limits given. Facility was discharging well below their permitted
quantity.
1987: re -issued w/ similar limits and instream monitoring.
1992 - 1994: similar limits with request by facility for deletion of various parameters either required by
CFR or having a State limits which was smaller than the CFR requirements - request was denied. Note on WLA
indicated that facility should be aware of Impending nutrient limits based on Crowders Creek model.
The Management Plan for Crowders Creek has changed since the last WLA and those existing facility's discharging above 1.0
mgd will have nutrient limits, therefore no nutrient limits will be applied to this facility.
P & E requested limits be recommended in terms of Mass Loading even though CFR limits given in terms of Concentration.
Below Is a comparison of our State Standards and the Federal Guidelines. Since our State Standards are more stringent in all
cases where a limit applies, these will be given in concentration rased limits over the requested mass loading.

To: Farrell Keough; Greg Nizich
I just spoke with Dave and he said it is not likely that CR will be connecting to the City of
Gastonia. Therefore, we should proceed with standard permit development procedure.
Greg, I got the impression the same holds true for your two facilities.
Farrell, could we meet sometime to discuss your request, I have some flow info that I think
will be helpful in preparing the WLA?

To: Dave Goodrich; Farrell Keough; Greg Nizich
Farrell's request for info to process the WLA for CR Industries prompted me to take a closer
look at the file. I learned that a public hearing was conducted 1/2.5/95 concerning the renewal
of NPDES permits for Homelite, Textron, and CR Industries. All NPDES permits were
renewed with the stipulation that the potential of connecting to City to Gastonia WWTP
would be reexamined at the next permitrenewal. Should I pursue permit development as if
they will not connect to City of Gastonia - or should be reexamine connection more closely
before continuing?? Can we discuss?? Thanks in advance for your input.

Note for Carla Sanderson
From: Coleen Sullins
Date: Wed, Feb 23, 1994 12:11 AM
Subject: Crowders Creek Special Condition
To: Don Safrit; Steve Tedder
Cc: Carla Sanderson; Dave Goodrich; Ruth Swanek
In order to facilitate the connection of facilities to the Crowders Creek Gastonia regional
wwtp, I propose that the following language be included in the permits issued in the
Crowders Creek area:
"Water quality evaluations of Lake Wylie have documented that the Lake is threatened by
euthropic. conditions, particularly in the embayments and tributary arms (see Report No.
92-04, Water Quality Investigation of Lake Wylie). Discharges tributary to the Crowders
Creek drainage basin are targeted for removal by connection to the Crowders Creek regional
wastewater treatment plant. All domestic and industrial process waste discharges shall be
eliminated through connection to the Crowders Creek wastewater treatment plant or through
use of other feasible nondischarge alternatives by September 30, 1995."
This language is fairly generic and can be modified for specific facilities if appropriate. For
example, I would propose to add additional language to the Carolina Water Service,
Saddlewood Subdivision permit:
"Additionally, the Saddlewood Subdivision wastewater treatment plant discharges into an
unnamed tributary to Crowders Creek, a stream with no flow under low flow conditions.
Removal of discharges from low flow streams are recommended if a more environmentally
sound alternative is available at an economically reasonable cost (in accordance with 15A
NCAC 2B .0206). The January 1993 alternatives analysis concluded that connection to the
regional wastewater treatment facility was the least costly alternative. Therefore, the
Saddlewood Subdivision wastewater treatment plant discharge shall be eliminated through
connection to the Gastonia Crowders Creek facility by September 30, 1995."
Other facilities may warrant additional language in the special condition to address their
specifics. However, I think that the generic language above should suffice in most cases. It
seems reasonable to me that we should provide the discharges with a schedule to connect to
the sewer system. Each of these dischargers is going to have to budget to pay all the fees that
Gastonia is going to assess for them connect. Additionally, Gastonia is requiring sotne.fairly
stringent toxicity evaluations be completed prior to connection. What we are proposing is
approximately an additional 18 months and then in coordination with the basinwide plans,
these would be eliminated.
We would like to get these permits out to notice ASAP and get the issue resolved. Please
provide your comments on the proposed language. Thanks. Coleen

* 5. Other Special Items: NIA
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
CR Industries has applied for renewal of its NPDES permit. The facility appeared to be well
run and maintained except for the domestic waste package plant which is highly corroded and could
be leaking. The aeration basin is old, and there are no groundwater monitoring wells.
Also, the effluent pipe crosses a sewer main leading to the Crowders Creek WWTP. The
Company indicated that it would like to be able to discharge to this sewer, but the pretreatment
requirements would be to costly to implement. The level of treatment (of heavy metals) required for
pretreatment would be more stringent than the treatment level required for discharge. This may be
due to the fact that Crowders Creek is currently under an SOC for toxicity/heavy metals. However,
the discharge from CR Industries is approximately 1 '/2 miles upstream form the Crowders Creek
WWTP discharge. CR Industries is a categorical metal finishing industry under CFR 40 Part 433
Subpart A.
The permit application did not contain any information regarding the relative cost of
discharging vs pretreatment. Therefore, this Office does not recommend that the permit be renewed
without proper documentation showing that connecting to the Gastonia POTW is not a viable
alternative.
