Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Tim Heim of the Asheville Regional Office performed a Compliance Evaluation Inspection on
September 15th, 2016. Michael Baldwin (Mill Safety Consultant) assisted with the inspection and with
records and sampling results review. The permitted discharge facility appeared well maintained and
operated at the time of the inspection, and in compliance with Permit NCG500150.
The facility discharges on a very infrequent basis (approximately once per year) during cooling tower
cleaning. The permittee reported that the last sampling event did not include TRC due to a
miscommunication with the contract lab. This has been corrected for future sampling events.
The permittee may consider evaluating reconfiguration of the plumbing of the North and South Cooling
Tower drains to connect to the sanitary sewer. This would eliminate the need to discharge via the
NPDES permit during cleaning events.

Dear Permittee:
The facility listed above is covered under NPDES General Permit NCG500000. NCG500000 expires
on July 31, 2007. Federal (40 CFR 122.41) and North Carolina (15A NCAC 2H.0105(e)) regulations require
that permit renewal applications must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration.of the current permit. If
you have already mailed,a renewal request, you'may disregard this notice.
To satisfy this requirement, the Division must receive a renewal request postmarked no later than
February 1, 2007. Failure to request renewal by this date may result in a civil penalty assessment. Larger
penalties may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request. This renewal notice is being sent
well in advance of the due date so that you have adequate time to prepare your application.
If any discharge previously covered under NCG500000 will occur after July 31, 2007, the
CoC must be renewed. Discharge of wastewater without a valid permit would violate North Carolina
General Statute 143-215.1; unpermitted discharges of wastewater may be assessed civil penalties of up to
$25,000 per day.
If all discharge has ceased at your facility and you wish to rescind this CoC [or if you have other
questions], contact me at the telephone number or e-mail address listed below.

A condition of no exposure exists at an industrial facility when all industrial materials and activities are protected by a storm resistant shelter to prevent
;xposure to rain, snow, snowmelt, and/or runoff. Industrial materials or activities include, but are not limited to, material handling equipment or activities,
ndustrial machinery, raw materials, intermediate products, by-products, final products, or waste products. Material handling activities include the storage,
oading and unloading, transportation, or conveyance of any raw material, intermediate product, final product or waste product. A storm resistant shelter is
iot required for the following industrial materials and activities:
- drums, barrels, tanks, and similar containers that are tightly sealed, provided those containers are not deteriorated and do not leak. 'Sealed"
means banded or otherwise secured and without operational taps or valves;
adequately maintained vehicles used in material handling; and
- final products, other than products that would be mobilized in storm water discharges (e.g., rock saft).
k No Exposure Certification must be provided for each facility qualifying for the no exposure exclusion. In addition, the exclusion from NPDES permitting is
available on a facility -wide basis only, not for individual outtalls. If any industrial acties or materials are or will be exposed to precipitation, the facility is
tot eligible for the no exposure exclusion.

RE: Kimberly Clark -Berkeley Mills Facility

The purpose of this memorandum is to request comments from the Groundwater, Surface Water,
and Solid Waste Sections on the proposal, by Kimberly Clark, to turn off their ground water
remediation system and allow the remaining contaminants in the ground water to naturally
degrade. Kimberly Clark's plans for these activities are described in three documents. These
documents are:
1. Site -Specific Risk Assessment, Berkelely Mills Facility, May 1997
2. Draft Corrective Measures Study, Berkeley Mills Facility, January 1996
3. RCRA Facility Investigation Report (Final), Berkeley Mills Facility, October
1995
Each of these documents should be in the Groundwater Section's files in the Asheville
Regional Office and the Hazardous Waste Section's files in Raleigh.
US EPA Region IV, Waste Compliance Section, is the lead governmental agency on this project.
The Hazardous Waste Section (HWS) is trying to coordinate the State's comments and submit
them to EPA in one package. The HWS believes that this procedure will be easier for EPA, and
in turn, the facility. The HWS's goal is to have all of the comments, from the various State

agencies, submitted to the HWS by November 30. The HWS will then prepare a response letter
to EPA, with all of the State's comments.
Facility Description
The Kimberly Clark facility is located along the west bank of Mud Creek near the confluence of
Mud Creek and Clear Creek, in the town of Balfour, North Carolina. Balfour is located along
highway 25, a few miles north of Hendersonville.
The Kimberly Clark facility manufactures non -woven textile fabrics. Wastes generated at the
facility were formerly managed in a waste solvent pit and two solid waste landfills.
Kimberly Clark is currently undergoing closure and remediation of the two landfills and the
former waste solvent pit. As part of the remedial activities, Kimberly Clark has performed an
assessment of the extent of contamination and operated a ground water extraction and treatment
system, beginning in 1987. Kimberly Clark is now proposing to terminate the active ground
water treatment and allow the remaining contamination to naturally degrade. A discussion of the
risk of the contaminants in the ground water, to the downgradient receptors, is included in the
documents identified above.
Project Coordination
As stated earlier, the HWS will be coordinating the State's comments and transmitting them to
EPA. In addition to myself, Sandra Moore will also be working on the project. She will
primarily be focussing on the risk assessment. Both Sandra and I work at the Hazardous Waste
Section's office on 401 Oberlin Road in Raleigh.

To facilitate the review of the project, I would like to schedule a meeting at the facility in early
November. This would enable each of the project managers, from the different agencies, to meet
with facility representatives and discuss specific questions/concerns they may have. Each project
manager is encouraged to review the documents prior to the meeting.
The project manager for EPA is Art Smith. He may be reached by calling 404-562-8591. If
Sandra or I are not available to answer your questions, then Art is a good resource person.
As soon as the project managers from the respective Sections are identified then please ask them
to contact me.

As soon as I am able to schedule a meeting with the facility I will inform you (or the project
manager) of the date. If the scheduled meeting date is unsatisfactory then please notify me as

for your assistance.

Governor's Award for Excellence in Waste Reduction,
Case Studies Only
Your region's support in reviewing and commenting on the semi
finalists applications is greatly appreciated. We have decided
to recognize those facilities that also demonstrated excellence
in waste reduction; however, did not receive as award. if these
entries have a good compliance history, we will prepare a case
study on their waste reductio:i techniques. This inform�ition will
be published in the award's booklet that will be distributed at
the Governor's ceremony and possibly in the Office of Waste
Reduction's case study document. The case study facilities will
be invited to the ceremony and will receive recognition for their
efforts. T apologize these were not submitted with the Semi-
finalist, they were not selected at that: time.
Please review the enclosed entry from Kimberly-Clark located in
Hendersonville for their technical, applicability and compliance
history. if there are any pending or recently completed
regulatory investigations, please indicate and explain on,the

Spunbond II P(lymer Rec)aliu Syste,"I
Suniniary
The Berkeley Spunbond 11 machine has implemented a polymer reclaim system into
its process. This system repelletizes wasted material which can then be substituted
for virgin polymer- The result is a substantial reduction in raw material costs, as
well as a reduction in waste material sent out.
Background
Spunbond is a lightweight nonwovens material used in infant care, child care and
Adult care products. Berkeley Spunbond II produces several spunbonnd grades for
both intcrilal and external customers. This nnater171 is produced by a continuous
Process that exmudes virgin polymer into a web that is wound into a finished roll.
Because of strict quality standards, material can be rejected as waste. A few inches
on either side of the sheet is not used because of poor quality. Also, every roll is
tested for several attributes. Molls can become waste due to variations in basis
weight, formation, treating, etc. 'Until this year, waste material has been sent out.
Waste Deduction Activities
in February Inna Spunbond TT installed a reclaim system. Wasted material is
unwound into a chopper and then shredded into fluff. This fluff is then conveyed to
the pellet mill. The pellet mill forces the fluff through a die, producing pullets.
These Pellets are then conveyed to .the pellet mixing station, where it is mixed with
virgin polymer and 'other additives before being sent to the extruder.

Annual Savings/Revenues
During a typical month, the reclaim system has repelletized over 125,000 pounds of
polymer. Wit.11 an estimated cost of $0.38 per pound, Spunbond Tl: saves $47,500 per
month. Annually this results ill 1,�500,000 lbs per year L n�rating a savings of
$570,000 per year. In addition to the raw material cost. savings, the reclaim system
helps Spunbond H. get closer to the corporate goal of no landfill waste.
Implementation of this project cost$321,000 and has annual offsets in utilities, etc of
$100,000. The calculated financial payback period for this project was 12 months.

Directions. —For each parameter listed, complete the
information requested in each column in the units specified
according to the instructions given below.
Column 1.—Enter the daily average value of the intake
water at the point it enters the facility. If intake water is
from more than one source, and enters the facility at
separate entry points, the value given in column 1 should be
weighted proportional to the quantity of flow contributed
from each source. If water is treated before use, completion
of this column is not required (see instructions for column
2). Values of intake are not required for mining activities.
Column Z—If all or part of intake water is treated before
use, provide values for total intake here instead of in
Column '1. Also describe briefly in item 26 "additional
information," the. type of treatment performed on intake
water (e.g., rapid sand filtration, coagulation, flocculation,
ion exchange, etc.) and the percent of intake water
contributing to this discharge that has been treated.
Column 3.—Supply daily average value for the days when
discharge is actually operating or is expected to be operat-
ing (a new discharge). Daily average values are to be com-
puted by weighting the daily value in proportion to the daily
flow. If a discharge occurs irregularly, the value supplied
in the column marked "Daily Average" should represent
an average for the average for the days the discharge actually
occurs. Average values are not to be supplied for pH,
specific conductance, and bacteriological parameters (e.g.,
coliform bacteria).
Columns 4 and S.—Supply minimum and maximum value
observed (or expected for new discharge) over any one day
when the rdischarge is operating.
Column 6.—Specify the average frequency of analysis for
each parameter as number analyses per number of days (e.g.,
"3/7" is equivalent to three analyses performed every 7
days). If continuous, enter "CONT." When analyses are
conducted: on more than one individual grab sample col-
lected during the same day, the analysis frequency should
reflect one analysis whose value is the average of the
individual grab sample measurements. Average frequency
should be based on an operating month.
Column 7.—Specify the number of analyses performed at
the average frequency specified in column 6, up to 365.
Column 8.—Specify sample type as follows:
G For grab sample (individual sample collected in less
than 15 minutes).
.#C For composite sample "#" is to be replaced by :l
average number of hours over which the corm •:;:
sample was collected. Composite samples arc ...-ri-
binations of individual samples obtained at intc.
over a time period. Either the volume of eaci, w
dividual sample is directly proportional to disci �,;e
flow rates or the sampling interval (for constar,t-
volume samples) is inversely proportional to t;
flow rates over the time period used to prodw:.-
composite.
NA If "CONT" was entered in column 6.
Analytical methods. —Appendix A contains all pawnteta,a
with their reporting levels, test descriptions, and referee:
The parameter values can be determined either by use (%F oo.
of the standard analytical methods as described in table A of
by methods previously approved by the EPA Regi,--nal
Administrator or Director of a federally appon ed `•�.:
program (or their authorized representatives) wfw '
jurisdiction over the State in which the discharge tn.,ws I
the test used is not one shown in table A. the test nniL. :1111
should be referenced in "Remarks" or on a separate sl­ , t '
values are determined to be less than the detectable liwi, i i,
determined by referenced standard analytical tee ►� ; �. ;.,.
and/or instrument manufacturer's literature). specify IA
(value of detectable limit)" in the appropriate space.
example, if the detectable limit is .005 mg/l and quantoic,
of less than this are determined, specify "LT .005." Do im
enter descriptors such as "NIL," "TRACE," "NE(;," ei�%.
for this purpose. If it is your reasoned judgement that one
more of the required parameters' is not present in the initial
untreated or treated process water and/or the dischan
enter an "A" (meaning "absent") in the appropriate space:.
In order for values reported to be representative, tt is
recommended that they be based on from at least five Io
seven analyses of composite samples (if applicable). Each of
the composite samples should be obtained by compositing
frequent samples in proportion to flow over 2n 'operating
day. Samples should be taken during period of maximum
production, if possible. If samples are taken at periods of
less than maximum production, state in "Remarks" the
percent of maximum production that was obtained during
the sampling period.

Subject: KIMBERLY CLARK-BERKLEY MILLS
Certificate of Coverage NCG500150
General Permit NCG500000
Formerly NPDES Permit NC0000230
Henderson County
The Division of Environmental Management has recently evaluated all existing individual permits for potential
coverage under general permits currently issued by the Division. 15A N.C.A.C. 2H .0127 allows the Division to
evaluate groups of permits having similar discharge activities for coverage under general permits and issue
coverage where the Division finds control of the discharges more appropriate in this manner. The Division has
determined that the subject discharge qualifies for such coverage. Therefore, the Division is hereby issuing the
subject Certificate of Coverage under the state-NPDES general permit no. NCG500000 which shall void NPDES
Permit NC0000230. This Certificate of Coverage is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina and the
US Environmental Protection Agency Memorandum of Agreement dated December 6,1983 and as subsequently
amended.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this general permit are unacceptable to
you, you have the right to submit an individual permit application, associated processing fee and letter requesting
coverage under an individual permit. Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding. Please
take notice this Certificate of Coverage is not transferable. Part II, E.4. addresses the requirements to be followed
in case of change of ownership or control of this discharge.
In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance conditions, the
Permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including those as may be required by this Division, such as the
construction of additional or replacement wastewater treatment or disposal facilities. Construction of any
wastewater treatment facilities will require issuance of an Authorization to Construct from this Division.
Failure to abide by the requirements contained in this Certificate of Coverage and respective general permit may
subject the Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division of Environmental Management in accordance with
North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A to 143-215.6C. Please note that the general permit does require
monitoring in accordance with federal law. _ Nommong*Memittee is requireU LU 11157rain an records for a period of at least
three (3) years.

The issuance of this Certificate of Coverage is an administrative action initiated by the Division of
Environmental Management and therefore, no fees are due at this time. In accordance with current rules, there
are no annual administrative and compliance monitoring fees for coverage under general permits. The only fee
you will be responsible for is a renewal fee at the time of renewal. The current permit expires July 31, 1997.
This coverage will remain valid through the duration of the attached general permit. The Division will be
responsible for the reissuance of the general permit and at such time, you will be notified of the procedures to
follow to continue coverage under the reissued permit. Unless you fail to follow the procedures for continued
coverage, you will continue to be permitted to discharge in accordance with the attached general permit.
The issuance of this Certificate of Coverage does not preclude the Permittee from complying with any and all
statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances which may be required by the Division of Environmental Management
or permits required by the Division of Land Resources, the Coastal Area Management Act or any Federal or
Local other governmental permit that may be required.
If you have any questions or need additional information regarding this matter, please contact either the
Asheville Regional Office, Water Quality Section at telephone number [phone], or a review engineer in
the NPDES Group in the Central Office at telephone number 919/733-5083.

discharges. Both have operated in compliance with permit conditions.
Monitoring has been conducted in the past which shows no affects on
Mud Creek. It is recommended that all monitoring be dropped from the
renewed permit. This would be in accordance with Division policy not
to require monitoring on once through non contact cooling water
discharges. It is recommended that the permit go to public notice.
