NPDES RENEWAL FACT SHEET
NPDES NCO083038
PROJECT NOTES
Facility Summary - According to the application to renew and Change of Ownership form
(received 05May2014), Ardagh Glass, Inc. employs —300 people to manufacture glass
containers (jars) under Federal Effluent Guidelines [40 CFR 426, Subpart H- Glass Container
Manufacturing]. This facility uses city water as a one -pass quencher for molten glass (no contact
with oils or other substances), then holds this quenching water in a 500K-gal above -ground
storage tank for temperature control. Discharge occurs only episodically when plant workers
manually drain the furnace tank. Discharges to the environment range in volume from 0.300 MG
to 0.500 MG released at a controlled flow rate over several days. Monitoring is required only
when discharging.
This facility has made no changes in its treatment system since last renewal.
DMR Data -- This facility has not discharge during the previous permit cycle. No data to review.
It is unknown at this time if the Permittee has requested a Discharge Waiver.
Receiving Stream - Flow discharges to an UT to Martin Creek to Sandy Creek to Swift Creek.
The receiving stream is not 303(d) listed as impaired (2014).
Permitting Guidance - Although this facility discharges to NSW waters, nutrient limits are not
warranted for this non -nutrient industrial wastewater. Federal Guidelines regulate O&G, TSS,
and pH. Limits for O&G/TSS are calculated based on production. Original limits considered 260
tons/day [furnace pull] while operating one furnace. Existing facility may operate a second
furnace, and previously reported 478.1 tons/day average with peak production at 599.32 tons/day
over the last three years (May 2011-May2014). Despite this previous production increase, this
facility had no problem meeting the originally allocated permit limits (1993).
This renewal will maintain permit limits based on the previous permit (2015).
Waste Load Allocation (WLA) Data -- Last WLA was 1993.
RRO Region Data -- Regional Staff Report (1993) states that Henderson POTW will not accept
this WW due to the large volume. This facility performed an Engineering Alternatives Analysis
(EAA) to address discharge alternatives in 1993.

5. Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code(s): 3221
6. Number of employees: 300
7. Describe the treatment system List all installed waste treatment components with capacities,
describe the processes that generate wastewaters. If the space provided is not sufficient attach a
separate sheet of paper with the system description.
The treatment system consists of a 500,000-gallon aboveground holding tank, which is
discharged via Outfall 001 into an unnamed tributary to Martin Creek.
Whenever molten glass is drained from a glass melting furnace, clean city water is used to cool
the glass and the metal chute, directing the flow of glass down the chute. This cooling (or
quench) water is collected and held in the 500,000-gallon aboveground storage tank for
temperature control prior to being discharged to the receiving stream at a controlled rate, over
a period of several days. The quench water does not come into contact with any oils or other
substances used in the plant, and there are no treatment chemicals or other additives used.
The discharge is intermittent and only occurs as a result of a furnace drain event. The primary
reasons for a drain are a scheduled or emergency furnace repair. Repairs are typically
scheduled approximately every 7-10 years.
8. Is facility covered under federal effluent limitation guidelines? No ❑ Yes
If yes, specify the category? Glass manufacturing, Part 426 Subpart H
9. Principal product(s) produced: glass bottles and jars
Principal raw material(s) consumed: sand, limestone, soda ash
Briefly describe the manufacturing process(es):
The raw materials are combined into batches and delivered to the two glass melting furnaces where they
are heated to molten glass. The molten glass is then directed to forehearths where it is further conditioned
before being directed to a forming machine where it is molded into glass containers. The containers are
slowly heated and cooled in annealing lehrs. The annealed containers are inspected for quality and then
packed in cartons or on bulk pallets. The containers are stored in an on -site warehouse until loaded in a
truck for shipment to the customer.
