Subject: BROYHILL-MILLER HILL COMPLEX
Certificate of Coverage NCG500178
General Permit NCG500000
Formerly NPDES Permit NC0006505
Caldwell 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 NC0006505. 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. The monitoring data is not required to be submitted to the Division
unless specifically requested, however, the permittee is required to maintain all records for a period of at least
three (3) years.

Certificate of Coverage No. NCG500178
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.

Change in Discharge
All discharges authorized herein shall be consistent with the terms and
conditions of this permit. The discharge of any pollutant identified in
this permit more frequently than or at a level in excess of that authorized
shall constitute a violation of the permit. Any. anticipated facility
expansions, production. increases, or process modifications which will result
in new, different, or increased discharges of pollutants must be reported by
submission of a new NPDES application or, if such changes will not violate
the effluent limitations specified in this permit, by notice to the DEM of
such changes. Following such notice, the permit may be modified to specify
and limit any pollutants not previously limited.
Anticipated Noncompliance
The permittee shall give notice to the Permit Issuing Authority of any planned
change in the permitted facility or activity which may result in noncompliance
with permit requirements. Any maintenance of facilities, which might
necessitate unavoidable interruption of operation and degradation of effluent
quality, shall be scheduled during noncritical water quality periods and carried
out in a manner approved by the Permit Issuing Authority.
Transfer of Ownership or Control
This permit is not transferable. In the event of any change in name, control
or ownership of facilities from which the authorized discharge emanates or is
contemplated, the permittee shall notify the prospective owner or controller by
letter of the existence of this permit and of the need to obtain a permit in the
name of the prospective owner. A copy of the letter shall be forwarded to the
Division of Environmental Management.
Additional Monitoring by Permittee
If the permittee monitors any pollutant at the location(s) designated herein
more frequently than required by this permit, using approved analytical methods
as specified above, the results of such monitoring shall be included in the
calculation and reporting of the values is required in the DMR. Such increased
frequency shall also be indicated. The DEM may require more frequent monitoring
or the monitoring of other pollutants not required in this permit by written
notification.
Averaging of Measurements
Calculations for limitations which require averaging of measurements shall
utilize an arithmetic mean unless otherwise specified by the Permit Issuing
Authority in the permit.

SECTION E. DEFINITION
1. Permit Issuing Authorit
The Director of the Division of Environmental Management.
2. DEM or Division
Means the Division of Environmental Management, Department of Natural
Resources and Community Development. 3. EMC:
Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
3. EMC
Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
4. Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control. Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as
amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq.
5. Mass/Day Measurements
a. The "monthly average discharge: is defined as the total mass of all
daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on
which daily discharges are sample and measured, divided by the number
of daily discharges samples and/or measured during such month. It is
therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the
pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by
the number of days the tests were reported. The limitation is
identified as "Monthly Average" in Part I of the permit.
b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of
all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar week
(Sunday -Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured,
divided by the number of daily discharges samples and/or measured
during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by
adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then
dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This
.limitation is identified as "Weekly Average's in Part I of the permit.
C. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a
pollutant discharged during a calendar day. If only one sample is
taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant calculated from
it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as
"Daily Maximum," in Part I of the permit.

Part II
Page 12 of 14
d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily
discharges sample and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily
discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number_ of daily
discharges sampled and/or measured during such year. It is, therefore, an
arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of
the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were
reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in Part I of the
permit.
6. Concentration Mea.suremen
a.. The "average monthly concentration," other_ than for fecal coliform
bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges
samples and/or measured during a calendar month oii which daily discharges
are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the
concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the
arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected
during that calendar day. The average monthly count for fecal coliform
bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average"
under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria,
is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or
measured during a calendar week (Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges
are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled
and/or measured. during such week (arithmetic mean of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the
concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the
arithmetic mean. (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during
that calendar. day. The average weekly count for fecal coliform bacteria is
the geometric mean. of the counts for samples collected during a calendar
week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other
Limits" in Part I of the permit.
C. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a. pollutant
discharge during a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any
calendar day the concentration of pollutant calculated from it is the
''Maximum Daily Concentration". It is identified as "Daily Maximum" under
"Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.

Part II
Page 13 of 14
d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria,
is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or
measured during a calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and
measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured
during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The
daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite
sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by
flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The
average yearly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean
of the counts for samples collected during a calendar year. This
limitation is identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I
of the permit.
e. The "daily minimum concentration" (for dissolved oxygen only) is the
minimum allowable amount of dissolved oxygen required to be available in
the effluent prior to discharge. It is identified as "Daily Minimum" under
'Other Limits" in Part III of the permit.
Other Measurements
a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours
average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean
of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar month.
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time
of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the
total discharge.
Types of Samples
a. Composite Sample: These samples consist of grab samples collected at
equal intervals and combined proportional to flow, a sample continuously
collected proportionally to flow, or equal volumes taken at varying time
intervals. If a composite sample is obtained from grab samples, the
following requirements apply. The intervals between influent grab
samples shall be no greater than hourly. Intervals between effluent grab
samples shall be no greater than hourly except where the detention time
of the wastewater in the facility is greater than 24 hours, in which
case, the interval between grab samples shall be no greater in number of
hours than the detention time in number of days; provided, however, in
no case may the time between effluent grab samples be greater than six
hours nor the number of grab samples less than four during any discharge
period of 24 hours or less.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a
period of time not exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken
manually.

Part II
Page 14 of 14
9. Calculation of Means
a. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation
of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of
the product of the individual values where N is equal to the number of
individual values. The geometric mean is equivalent to the a.ntilog of
the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual values. For
purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be
considered to be one (1).
C. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each
concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the
respective flows.
10. Calendar Day
A calendar day is defined as the period -from midnight of one day until midnight
of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour
period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
11. Hazardous Substance
A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116
pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.
12. Toxic Pollutant
A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of
the Clean Water Act.

Permit Modification Request

OUTFALL 001- Boiler blowdown and non -contact air compressor cooling
water: Based on a site visit December 10, 1991, we have no objection to
the removal of oil and grease analysis from this outfall. There was no
evidence of oil or grease having been discharged from this outfall and a
December 19, 1991, analysis submitted by Mr. David Stout indicated 2
mg/l. This result is not considered excessive due to the presence of
parking lot runoff at the point of sampling.
OUTFALL 002 - Formerly air compressor cooling water, now discharged to
Lenoir city sewer: We have no objection to the removal of this outfall
from the permit.
If you have any further questions, please call.

Broyhill Furniture Industries, Inc.

NPDES Permit No. NC0006505, Discharge No. 001, for non -
contact boiler blowdown water and air compressor cooling water,
requires Monthly Monitoring for Oil and Grease. I would like to
request that the Oil and Grease Monitoring be deleted from this
permit. This water is non -contact and oil or grease contamination
is riot something teat would occur due to discharging this type of
water. On December, 10, 1991, Mr. Paul White, P.E., of yoUr
Asheville Office did an inspection of these two permits and noted
that there was r10, sign of oil or, grease contamination.
Also,
I
would like
to request that
Discharge No. 002 be
deleted
from NPDES Permit
No. NC0006505.
We are discharging all
cooling
water
from this outfall into the
Lenoir Municipal Sewer
System.
Thank
you
for your assistance
in this
matter. If I can be of
further
help,
please give
me a call at 704-758-3374.

Discussion of possible SOC for NC0006505
Caldwell County
I talked to Mr. Bill Sales and Mr. David Stout of Broyhill and
they have told me that the SOC will not be needed. David said initial
discussions of a possible SOC concerned a pH problem with boiler
blowdowns which they are now handling by holding and treating. If you
have any further questions, let me know.
