Chanties Incorporated into Permit Renewal

Summary
The facility has requested a permit renewal with no modifications.
The following notes were taken during the review of the application package:
• 303(d) List Review: Beaver Dam Creek is not listed on North Carolina's
1998 303(d) List.
• Review of Basin Plan: No information was reported for Beaver Dam Creek
in the Basin Plan.
• Staff Report (prepared 2/8/99): Region did not provide specific comments
in reference to the subject permit. Region recommends issuance of permit.
Staff Report (prepared 6/30/93: Facility discharges contact cooling water
from one outfall (Outfall 001) and air compressor condensate from a second
outfall (Outfall 002). The discharges from the facility do not enter the
receiving stream by a direct conveyance, rather they empty onto the ground
behind the building and meander through a wooded area owned by the
company. Most of the contact cooling water used by the autoclaves is
recycled. When a discharge is necessary, it is usually on an infrequent basis
(3-5 times per month). Most of the water discharged either soaks into the
ground or is lost to evaporation before reaching the receiving stream.

The permittee requests renewal of the subject Permit which authorizes the discharge of
contact cooling water from two (2) autoclaves used for curing retreaded tires and an air
compressor unit.
The discharges from this facility do not enter the receiving stream by a direct conveyance,
rather they empty onto the ground behind the building and meander through a wooded area
owned by the company. Most of the contact cooling water used by the autoclaves is recycled.
When a discharge is necessary, it is usually on an infrequent basis (3-5 times per month). Most of
the water discharged either soaks into the ground or is lost to evaporation before reaching the
receiving stream.
It is recommended that the Permit be renewed as requested.
