Dear Permittee:
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 NC0006602. 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. ,

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.

SECTION D. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.

Part II

SECTION E. DEFINITION
1. Permit Issuing Authority
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 aresampled 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" 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 Measurement
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 on 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 antilog 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 D
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.

Dear Mr. Stout:
Enclosed is the report for the
1991. As we discussed, the following
Virginia Street
NPDES Permit Number NC0006602
Ca ell County
inspection done on December 10,
recommendations are made:
1. The pH unit on the CO controller at outfall 002 should be
calibrated, even though tAis unit is not used for monitoring and
reporting.
2. An EPA approved oil and grease analysis should be done monthly
on the effluent of outfall 003. We would be glad to consider a
request for removal of this requirement based on some actual data
collected from the effluent, since this outfall is for non -contact
air compressor cooling water only.
3. It is suggested that the manual drain valve be removed from
the treatment tank at outfall 005 if this effluent is to go to the
Lenoir sewer to prevent inadvertent discharge to the creek.
4. It should be confirmed that measurements of pH are by approved
methodology, which includes temperature correction and
calibration.
We would like to receive a response on how these items are being
addressed. Please reply by January 15, 1992, so that we may schedule
any follow up visits.

This letter is in response to your December 17, 1991 letters
concerning the Compliance Sampling Inspections of December 10,
1991 at Broyhill Furniture Industries, Inc., Permit Numbers
NO0006602, and NC0006505. The recommendations have been
addressed as follows:
NC0006602
1) The PH controller at outfall 002 was calibrated immediately
following your inspection. This past week the discharge was put
into the Lenoir Municipal Sewer and I will soon be requesting
that this outfall be deleted from the permit.
2) A sample was taken out of outfall 003 on December 18, 1991
and analyzed at Blue Ridge Lab for Oil and Grease according to an
approved EPA method. The result was 1 mg/l. I have requested
that this Oil & Grease monitoring be deleted from the permit. In
addition, we are planning to put this discharge into the Lenoir
Municipal Sewer sometime this month, and will request that this
discharge be deleted from the permit.
3) The discharge from outfall 005 has been put into the Lenoir
Municipal Sewer and the manual drain valve has been removed so
that it cannot be discharged to the creek. Outfall 004 will also
be put into the Lenoir Municipal Sewer soon and I will request
that both of these outfalls be deleted from the permit.

4) The remaining outfall, 001 is being tested for Ph using a Ph
Meter that measures to the .00, and automatically compensates for
temperature.
NC0006505
1) As noted on your inspection, outfall 002 has been put into
the Lenoir Municipal Sewer. As there is no discharge at this
outfall, I have requested that this outfall be deleted from the
permit.
2) I collected a water sample at outfall 001 on December 18, 1991
and had it analyzed for Oil & Grease as per an approved EPA
method. The result was 2 mg/l, and I have requested that this
monitoring requirement be deleted from the permit.
3) Water samples taken at the Miller Hill Facility are tested
for Ph with one of two meters, both are digital readout to the
.00, and one(Cole-Palmer hand-held) has automatic temperature
correction and the other is a Fisher table unit with temperature
correction. All Ph test done at Broyhill Furniture will be done
according to EPA approved methodology.
If I can be of further assistance, please give me a call at
704-758-3374.

May 17, 1991 RE C El V It b
Water Quality Section
MAY 2 9 1991
,Asheville Regional Ofifim
,Asheville, North Carolina
This letter confirms the matters discussed in our telephone conversations
on May 10 and May 14, 1991 regarding discharges into Town Creek from the
Broyhill Lenoir Furniture Corporation Plant in Lenoir.
On May 10, repairs were scheduled to begin on one of the plant's
boilers to repair a leak in the tail pipe. In anticipation of these repairs,
the boiler had been shut down several weeks earlier in order for the boiler
and its contents to cool.
Before the repairs could begin, the cooled water from the boiler had
to be removed. At this plant, water is discharged into a 400-gallon containment
basin where pH adjustment occurs before discharge into Town Creek pursuant to
NPDES Permit #NC0006602, Discharge No. 001. From the information we have,
it appears that the water from the boiler was discharged through this contain-
ment basin but for a shorter period of time than normally required for pH
adjustment.
This discharge occurred at approximately 9:00 a.m. on May 10. At
approximately 10:00 a.m., I received telephone calls from two other Broyhill
plants in the area about some discoloration of water in the creek. I
immediately investigated and determined the source of the discoloration.
I then immediately notified our corporate management and you.
After contacting you, I returned to the creek and noted that all discolor-
ation had disappeared. Our personnel took pH readings in the creek and found
the levels to be normal. Small minnows were seen swimming in the area where
the overflow pipe discharges into the creek. I personally visited several
locations downstream from the discharge point and found no sign of any damage.
At the time of the discharge, the level of water in the creek was high due
to several days of rain, a factor which increased dilution of the material.

Mr. Paul White
May 17, 1991

To my knowledge, there have been no NPDES permit violations at this plant
since I joined Broyhill three years ago. We are taking actions to make sure
the situation does not occur again. I and members of senior management have
discussed this situation with the plant manager and reiterated our policy
that boiler water is to be treated for pH prior to discharge so that no
permit violations occur. We have also contacted our other plants to advise
them of this situation so that it does not occur elsewhere. We will also be
periodically monitoring the practices at this and other plants to make sure
that treatment of boiler water is occurring.
I want to thank you for your courteous and helpful assistance regarding
this matter over the past week. If you should have any further questions,
please call me.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Mr. Stout:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC 0006602 was
issued on May 15, 1990 for the discharge of wastewater to the
surface waters of the State from your facility. The purpose of
this letter is to advise you of the importance of the Permit and
the liabilities in the event of failure to comply with the terms
and conditions of the Permit. If you have not already done so,
it is suggested that you thoroughly read the Permit. Of
particular importance are Pages 4-8.
Pages 4-8 set forth the effluent 1-imitations; and monitoring
requirements --For your discharge(s). Your discharge(s) must not
exceed any of the limitations set forth. The section headed
"Monitoring Requirements" describes the measurement frequencies,
sample types and sampling locations. Upon commencement of your
discharge (or operation), you must initiate the required
monitoring. The monitoring results must be entered on the
reporting forms furnished to you by this Agency. If you have not
received these forms, they should be arriving shortly. If you
fail to receive the forms, please contact this Office as quickly
as possible. I have enclosed a sample of the "Effluent"
reporting form (DEM Form MR-1), plus instructions for completing
the form. It is imperative that all applicable parts be
completed, and the original and one copy be submitted as
required.
The remaining Parts of the Permit set forth definitions,
general conditions and special conditions applicable to the
operation of Te,astewater treatment facilities and/or discharge(s).
The conditions include special --reporting requirements in the
event of noncompliance, bypasses, treatment unit/process

Section 143-215.6 0= the North Carolina General Statutes. A
civil penalty of up to $10,000 per violation plus criminal
penalties may be assessed for such violations. If you find at
any time that you are unable to comply with the terms and
conditions of the Permit, you should contact this Office
immediately. A Consent Order may be necessary while pursuing
action to obtain compliance.
As a final note, an NPDES Permit is normally issued for a
five-year period. Permits are not automatically renewed.
Renewal recauests must be subirnitted to this Agency no later than
180 days prior to expiration. Please make note of the expiration
date of your Permit. This date is set forth on Page 1 of the
Permit. Also note that NPDES Permits are not transferable. If
you, as the Permittee, cease to need this Permit, then you should
request that the Permit be rescinded.
As mentioned previously, the purpose of this letter is to
advise you of the importance of your NPDES Permit. Please read
the Permit and contact this Office at 704/663-1699 in Mooresville
