A. (2.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (Quarterly)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to Czria*hmi z &&
at an effluent concentration of 16%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, q artejz!y monitoring using test procedures outlined in the "North Carolina
Cerib&Thmk 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 numbs gf'ebruary, May, August, 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 THP3B
for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Quality
Environmental Sciences Section
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 maybe 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.

I have the number you requested. As far as we can tell, it has not changed
significantly since we sent in our most recent permit application. Keep in
mind that we do not specifically monitor for sanitary water usage. To
determine the average, the amount of water pulled from our wells is
determined and all of the processes in the plant where flow is metered is
subtracted from that amount. The amount remaining is assumed to be sanitary
water used. Having said all that, the average amount of sanitary water used
on a daily basis is approximately 273,000 gallons per day. Hope this is
helpful for what you needed.

Summary
The Baxter Corporation requires a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
discharge permit to dispose of treated non -contact cooling water, boiler feed water, process
wastewater, and sanitary wastewater through surface water discharge. Baxter Corporation's
NPDES permit has expired and they have requested renewal of their permit. The source of the
wastewater is non -contact cooling water, boiler feed water, process water, and sanitary
wastewater. Wastewater is treated using the following treatment units:
• Equalization with Neutralization
• Nutrient addition
• Aeration
• Clarification with sludge recycle
• Aerobic digestion
• Upflow sand filtration
• UV disinfection
Fact Sheet
NPDES Renewal (NC0006554)
Page 1

After treatment, wastewater is discharged through outfall 001 into the North Fork Catawba River,
which is classified B-Trout Waters," in the Catawba River Basin.
Water needs for the facility include 200,000 gpd of non -contact cooling water, 207,000 gpd of
boilerfeed water, 627,000 gpd of process water, 86,400 gpd of extruder cooling water, and
273,000gpd of sanitary wastewater
In 1995, the Division of Water Quality issued an Authorization to Construct that permitted the
construction of a new outfall into the North Fork Catawba River 3.2 miles upstream of the
confluence with Armstrong Creek. Prior to 1996, Baxter Healthcare and Americian Threads
discharged through outfalls constructed at the same location in the North Fork Catawba River
(0.2 miles downstream of the confluence with Armstrong Creek).
Current Stream Conditions
Currently, Baxter Healthcare discharges into the North Fork Catawba River, 3.2 miles upstream
of the confluence with Armstrong Creek. American Threads, the only other discharger in the
area, discharges into the North Fork Catawba River, 0.2 miles downstream of the confluence
with Armstrong Creek.
In relation to outfall 001, there is one upstream and one downstream benthic macorinvertebrate
monitoring site. The North Fork Catawba River below the Baxter Healthcare Corporation
discharge declined from Excellent to Good between 1997 and 2002, but there was a dramatic
decline from Good to Fair further downstream, where the river was wider with slower flow.
In 1994, DWQ modeled the North Fork Catawba River from Baxter Corporation's outfall to
Lake James. The model included the interactions of Baxter's discharge with American Threads.
The North Fork Catawba River changes classification 0.2 miles upstream of American Threads
discharge, at the confluence of Armstong Creek and North Fork Catawba River. The upstream
classification is B —Tr and the downstream classification is C.
The model indicated that dissolved oxygen concentrations from the outfall to the confluence with
Armstrong Creek did not fall below the state standard of 6.0 mg/L for trout waters. The lowest
predicted value in this reach did not fall below 7.0 mg/L, therefore it is not recommended that an
additional monitoring station be added to the permit.
Technology Based Effluent Limit Development
BOD5, COD, and TSS are based on effluent guidelines (40 CFR 439 Subpart D) and have been
recalculated to reflect the most current data available (See attached calculations). The results of
these calculations are more stringent than the limits in the current permit. Since the facility has
no plans to expand production in the foreseeable future (per the facility), it is recommended that
the new limits are implemented. The permit writer have met with facility representatives on
November 23 and received updated production information.
According to the new calculation an oil & grease (O&G) limit is higher than in the previous
permit. An oil and grease limit consists of two components. First component is cooling water
from the extruders, and is limited per 40 CFR 463 Subpart A — Plastic Molding and Forming
Point Source Category. The other component is sanitary wastewater, which is limited based on
BPJ of 30 mg/L monthly average and 60 mg/L daily maximum. The process wastewater covered
under 40 CFR 439 does not provide an allocation. Increase in the proposed O&G limit can be
attributed to the higher domestic wastewater flow.

Toxicity Testing
Current Requirement: Quarterly Chronic Toxicity @ 16% FEB, MAY, AUG, NOV
Recommended Requirement: Quarterly Chronic Toxicity @ 16% FEB, MAY, AUG, NOV
The facility has been consistently passing its WET tests with two exceptions. Baxter failed its
toxicity tests in February 2000 and August 2001. Toxicity tests conducted after failures passed.
Compliance Summary
DMRs have been reviewed for the period January 2001 through July 2004. Facility has a mixed
compliance record. During the review period, the following NOV9 (notices of violation) have
been issued: 12/17/03 — O&G, 4/24/03 — quality control failures, 12/07/03 - O&G, 12/16/03 -
O&G, 07/10/02 - O&G, 05/29/02 - O&G, 05/12/02 - O&G, 04/16/02 — O&G, 10/22/01 — WET
failure. To alleviate persistent O&G problems, Baxter installed grease traps in the cafeterias and
replaced the outside grease trap.
A compliance evaluation inspection conducted on June 24, 2004 determined that the facility is in
compliance.
Instream Monitoring
The facility is required to conduct self -monitoring of the North Fork Catawba River at one
location upstream of the discharge and one location downstream of the discharge. The instream
self -monitoring includes: BOD5, fecal coliform, temperature, conductivity, and dissolved oxygen.
An analysis of DO, temperature and conductivity for the past year showed that the facility may
have some negative impact on DO and conductivity of the stream water (table is attached).
During the review period, DO level fell below 6.0 mg/L only during one sampling event.
Proposed Chan es
a Monitoring Frequencies: No changes are proposed.
Limits: Based on the application data, calculations were conducted in accordance with
federal guidelines (see attached). Based on the calculation results, limits were reduced for
BOD, COD, and TSS; limits were increased for Oil and Grease.

Mr. Charles H. Weaver, Jr:
Enclosed is the NPDES Application Form — 2C for renewal of NPDES Permit
NC0006564 for Baxter Healthcare Corporation.
No manufacturing changes have occurred since the last renewal except flow increases
due to increased production. Our sludge is still being land filled by Foothills
Environmental, Inc. located in Lenoir, NC.
You will also find attached a letter of request concerning Oil and Grease monitoring.
If you have any questions, or need any additional information, please contact either Phil
Castro at [phone], or myself at [phone].
Sincerely,
Stephen Gouge
Wastewater Treatment Supervisor

NC DENR/Water Quality/ NPDES Unit
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1617
Mr. Charles H. Weaver., Jr:
This letter is concerning our current NPDES permit requirement for Oil and Grease.
Baxter Healthcare's current NPDES permit contains the monitoring requirement that Oil
and Grease be monitored weekly with monitoring limits of 31.5 lb/day monthly average
and 63 lb/day daily maximum. Oil and Grease was a new requirement added to the permit
due to the plants extrusion process. Baxter Healthcare Corporation initially began having
problems meeting the oil and grease limit after monitoring was initiated. A survey was
made of our sewers. The survey showed no problems with our extrusion process, but
identified our two cafeterias as the source.
Having discovered the origin of the problem, Baxter installed grease traps in the
cafeterias and replaced the outside grease trap. Additionally, the elevation of the drain
leading to the outside grease trap was changed in order to improve efficiency. The cost of
engineering and correction for these upgrades was $42,164.00. To ensure that unwanted
oil and grease does not end up in our wastewater treatment plant, Baxter also trains each
cafeteria worker on proper handling and disposal practices. Workers have been
terminated 'in the past for not following the protocol.
Taking this into consideration, Baxter Healthcare Corporation requests consideration in
relaxing our oil and grease limits. Our oil and grease test accuracy limit is 5 mg/L. As a
result, almost any reading other than a non -detect will result in non-compliance for our
wastewater plant. We propose that the monthly average be increased from 3.147 mg/L to
1 Omg/L. We also propose that the daily maximum limit be increased from 6.29 mg/L to
15mg/L.
Please review the following data:
History of Oil and Grease Exceedences
Summary Graphs of Oil and Grease data from 2001 thru 2004
If you have any questions or comments, please contact either Phil Castro at (828) 756-
6527 or myself at [phone].

SLUDGE MANAGEMENT PLAN
Waste activated sludge is pumped to two aerobic digesters. The sludge is digested. The
digested sludge is then dewatered through a filter press to a 14% - 20% cake. Drainage
from the sludge and wash down from the filter press is pumped back to the aeration
basins for re -circulation through the activated sludge process. The cake is conveyed to a
dump trailer positioned under a covered roof. The dewatered sludge is then transported to
the Foothills Environmental, Inc. Landfill in Lenoir, NC and land filled.

I took a quick look at The receiving stream is
not listed as NSW, hence no
nutrient limits at this time. Generally we don't insert nutrient controls/studies
unless the receiving waters are
NSW and/or downstream waters are showing chl-a violations. Not sure what the chl-a
data for Lake James is showing.
The facility has a TRC limit of 28 ug/l. We just use conductivity as an indicator
parameter, but it doesn't look
like there are dissolved substancescausing chronic toxicity (the facility has passed
its last 20 of 22 quarterly
chronic tox tests). If there are parameters of concern that we haven't accounted for
(and which influence the
conductivity), we could take a look at that during the next renewal, particularly if
the parameter has a
corresponding WQS/criteria. For example, I wonder if the facility has high chloride
concentrations based on its
manufacturing product. Finally, does the downstream data collected reflect just the
Baxter impact, or does it also
include the discharge from American Threads? I'll put this email in the permit file
for the next permit writer to
review.

Dear Mr. Michael Meyers:
In reference to the requirement Part 1, Section B, Schedule of Compliance,
item 3 of Waste Water Permit NC0006564;
We were able to purchase and install an influent composite sampler. We
have arranged for Pace, Inc. to conduct oil and grease monitoring.
Therefore, we should be in compliance as of January 1, 2000 which is the
effective date of the new permit.
If you have any questions, please give me a call at 828-756-6527.
Sincerely,
Philip Castro
