Re.: Rescission of Groundwater Monitoring
Requirements
Permit No. NC0000507
Henderson County
Dear Mr. Humphrey,
On June 14, 2002, the Water Quality Section of the Asheville Regional Office rescinded
the subject permit. Under the subject permit, you were required to monitor groundwater quality
in four monitoring wells. Based upon our review of the existing groundwater monitoring data
and the rescission of the permit, the Groundwater Section is no longer requiring any groundwater
monitoring associated with this permit.
Within sixty (60) days upon your receipt of this letter, monitor wells MW-1, MW-2,
MW-3 and MW-4 shall be permanently abandoned. Within thirty (30) days of abandonment, a
Well Abandonment Record (see attached form GW-30) shall be completed for each well
abandoned and mailed to the address listed in the "Reporting/Documentation"section of the
Groundwater Requirements or this regional office. The wells must be abandoned by a North
Carolina Certified Well Contractor, the property owner, or the property lessee according to
General Statutes 87-98.4(b)(2). If the abandonment is not performed by a certified well
contractor, the property owner o;r lessee must physically perform the actual well abandonment
activities and the wells must be abandoned according to the North Carolina Well Construction
Standards (15A NCAC 2C .0113) and local county rules..
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at 828-251-6208, ext. 301.
Sincerely,
G. Landon Davidson, P.G.

Dear Mr. Davidson,
GE Lighting Systems, Inc. located in Hendersonville, North Carolina currently conducts triannual well
monitoring during the months of March, July, and November of each year (attached are the most recent
results from July of 2002). I believe the original intent of the triannual monitoring was to measure the
impact our wastewater treatment lagoons had on our groundwater.
GE Lighting Systems, inc. would like to discontinue the triannual monitoring for the following reasons:
1) The lagoons have not been used for process wastewater treatment since June of 1995 (i.e. only
stormwater currently goes to the lagoons); and 2) We are currently conducting groundwater remediation as
part of our superfund site cleanup and monitor numerous wells both on our property and in the surrounding
area.
Please let me know if your office agrees to discontinue the triannual monitoring. If you have any
questions please give me a call at 828-693-2533.
Sincerely,

SUBJECT: Permit Modification
GE Lighting Systems
NPDES Permit No. NC0000507
Henderson County
By cover letter dated July 2, 1996, the subject facility was issued NPDES permit
No. NC0000507 with an effective date of August 1, 1996, and an expiration date of
September 30, 2000. Review of the permit shows a discrepancy between the stormwater
monitoring requirements page and Pan III, Condition J. The stormwater monitoring page
of the permit shows that outfalls 001, 002, 004, 005, 006, and 008 should conduct 24
hour acute toxicity tfivnitoritlg; however, Part III, Condition J, contains an acute toxicity
limit. This condition also specifies for the facility to collect a 24 hour grab sample for
toxicity. Our office has recognized this sampling method as a repetitive error occurring in
permits and should be removed from all templates. Since the outfalls referenced above
discharge stormwater and the discharges are not continuous, 24 hour LC50 acute toxicity
monitoring using fathead minnows would be the appropriate test to assign. Grab sampling
would be the preferred sample type. Please find attached appropriate toxicity language to
be inserted for Part III, Condition J.
The effluent limitations page labeled D (8). which contains the monitoring
requirements for outfall 001 when process wastewater is discharged also contains an error.
The frequency for chronic toxicity testing is incorrect on this page. Chronic toxicity testing
should be conducted monthly for this outfall when process wastewater is discharged. The
quarterly months January, April, July, and October should be removed from this limits
page. In addition, Part III, Condition K, should be changed to monthly as opposed to
quarterly.. Please find attached language to be used for Part III, Condition K.
We appreciate your assistance to undertake the necessary steps to correct the
existing permit and incorporate the recommendations cited above. Please feel free to
contact me at 2136 if you have any questions.

for Permit Modification
Review of the subject permit indicated a few discrepancies pertaining to toxicity requirements. First, the
incorrect acute toxicity test language was included in Part III, Condition J, but has been changed. Second, on
the effluent limitations page labeled D (8), there is a chronic toxicity test monitoring frequency discrepancy.
Chronic toxicity testing should be conducted monthly for this outfall when process wastewater is discharged.
The quarterly months January, April, July, and October have been removed from this limits page. In addition,
Part III, Condition K has been changed to indicate monthly as opposed to quarterly monitoring.
Please find enclosed the modified section of the permit referenced in the preceding paragraph. Replace
the original section in your permit with the newer enclosed section and discard the original section. All other
terms and conditions contained in the original permit remain unchanged and in full effect. These permit
modifications are issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statutes 143-215.1 and the
Memorandum of Agreement Between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit modification are
unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days
following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter
150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, an filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, Post Office

Subject: NPDES Permit Issuance
Permit No. NC0000507
GE Lighting Systems
Henderson County
Dear Mr. Humphrey:
In accordance with the application for a discharge permit received on November 1, 1995, the
Division is forwarding herewith the subject NPDES permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the
requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between
North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated December 6, 1983.
In response to comments and concerns raised by environmental groups, members of the public, and
yourself concerning NPDES draft permit no. NC0000507 for GE Lighting Systems, major changes to the
draft permit include the following:
- Supplement to Permit Cover Sheet (item no. 2): this item now indicates six (rather than five) outfalls and
includes outfall 001 within the parentheses listing the six outfalls.
Site map: outfall 001 indicates that both ston-nwater and process wastewater are permitted to be discharged
at this location.
- Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements page for the groundwater remediation discharge: a
monthly monitoring requirement for the following metals has been added - beryllium, chromium (total),
cobalt, iron, nickel, and zinc. In addition, mercury will have it daily maximum limit of 0.031 ugA and
monitoring will be required twice/month. The draft permit was prepared using data which indicated that lead
was the only potential metal of concern in the groundwater. More recent groundwater data indicated the
presence of other metals in the groundwater which if discharged to surface water could adversely affect the
stream's water quality. Therefore, additional metals monitoring requirements have been added to the permit.
Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements page for the process wastewater discharge:
downstream monitoring station location has been moved upstream to Tabor Road and wording of footnote
number three has been changed slightly. Some members of the public believed a downstream monitoring
station that was closer than 1.5 miles downstream from the discharge locations would be more representative
of potential impacts to the stream. The proposed monitoring station location at Tabor Road should be more
representative and also is located in an accessible location. The wording of footnote number three was
changed to improve comprehension of its intent. '
- Part 111, Special Condition E: has been changed to include metals in addition to'toxicity and a statement has
also been added which allows the permittee to petition the Division for reductions or elimination of certain
monitoring requirements if data support such changes.

- Part I, Section B, Number 7. Specific Monitoring Requirements (for the stormwater discharges): The
sample location for Acute Toxicity monitoring was clarified. The requirement specifies monitoring at only
SDO and not "SDO or 001. If the facility regularly passes toxicity tests at these locations, the facility may
petition the division to decrease monitoring frequency.
Finally, the Division recommends that the facility install a filter system and or use sequestering agents to
protect against potential iron and/or manganese fouling the groundwater remediation treatment system.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are
unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30)
days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to
Chapter 150E of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings,
Post Office Drawer 27447, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7447. Unless such demand is made, this
decision shall be final and binding.
Please take note that this permit is not transferable. Part 1I, EA. addresses the requirements to be
followed in case of change in ownership or control of this discharge.
This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by
the Division of Water Quality or permits required by the Division of Land Resources or any other Federal or
Local governmental permit that may required.
If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact Paul B. Clark at telephone number
(919)733-5083, extension 580.

b. Stormwater Management Plan. The stormwater management plan shall contain a
narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or
minimize the exposure of significant materials to stormwater, including structural and
nonstructural measures. The stormwater management plan, at a minimum, shall
incorporate the following:
(1) A study addressing the technical and economic feasibility of changing the methods
of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure of
materials and processes to stormwater.. Wherever practicable the permittee
shall cover all storage areas, materialhandling operations, manufacturing or
fueling operations to prevent materials exposure to stormwater. In areas where
elimination of exposure is not practicable, the stormwater management plan
shall document the feasibility of diverting the stormwater runoff away from
areas of potential contamination.
(2) A schedule to provide secondary containment for bulk storage of liquid materials,
storage of Section 313 of Title 111 of the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority chemicals, or storage of hazardous
materials to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. if
the secondary containment devices are connected directly to stormwater
conveyance systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually activated
valves or other similar devices [which shall be secured with a locking
mechanism] and any stormwater that accumulates in the containment area shall
be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam, outfail staining, visible
sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the accumulated stormwater.
Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be uncontaminated. Records
documenting the individual making the observation, the description of the
accumulated stormwater and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a
period of five years.
(3) A narrative description shall be provided of Rest Management Practices (BMPs)
to be considered such as but not limited to, oil and grease separation, debris
control, vegetative filter strips, infiltration and stormwater detention or
retention, where necessary. The need for structural BMPs shall be based on the
assessment of potential of sources to contribute significant quantities of
pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected through monitoring of
stormwater discharges.
(4) Inspection schedules of stormwater conveyances and controls and measures to be
taken to limit or prevent erosion associated with the stormwater systems.
C. Spill Prevention and Response Plan. The Spill Prevention and Response Plan shall
incorporate a risk assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials
inventory of the facility. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the
plan shall be identified in the plan. A responsible person shall be on -site at all times
during facility operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff
through spills or exposure of materials associated with the facility operations.
d. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance
program shall be developed. The program shall document schedules of inspections and
maintenance activities of stormwater control systems, plant equipment and systems.
Inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of these areas shall
be incorporated into the program.
e Training schedules shall be developed and training provided at a minimum on an annual
basis on proper spill response and cleanup procedures and preventative maintenance
activities for all personnel involved in any of the facility's operations that have the
potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. Facility personnel (or team) responsible
for implementing the training shall be identified in the plan.
The Stormwatee Pollution Prevention Plan shall identify a specific position(s) responsible for
the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision to the Plan.
Responsibilities for all components of the Plan shall be documented and position(s) assignments
provided. The permitted shall amend the Plan whenever there is a change in design,
construction, operation, or maintenance which has a significant effect on the potential for the
discharge of pollutants to surface waters. This Plan shall be considered public information in
accordance with Part 11 Standard Conditions, Section E.10. ofthis NPDES permit.
PART i
Section A: Continued FINAL LIMITATIONS AND CONTROLS FOR STORMWATER DISCHARGE
During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the
Permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater from the General Electric Company's Facility.
Such discharges shall be controlled, limited and monitored as specified below:
- The Permittee shall develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, herein after referred
to as the Plan. The Plan shall include, at a minimum, the following items:
a. Site Plan. The site plan shall provide a description of the physical facility and the
potential pollutant sources which may be expected to contribute to contamination of
stormwater discharges. The site plan shall contain the following:
(i) A general location map (USG§ quadrangle map or appropriately drafted equivalent
map), showing the facility's location in relation to transportation routes and
surface waters, the name of the receiving water(s) to which the stormwater
outfall(s) discharges, or if the discharge is to a municipal separate storm sewer
system, the name of the municipality and the ultimate receiving waters; and
accurate latitude and longitude of the point(s) of discharge.
(2) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities,
outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and
waste disposal practices.
(3) A site map drawn to scale with the distance legend indicating location of industrial
activities (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas and
loading and unloading areas), drainage structures, drainage areas for each outfall
and activities occurring in the drainage area, building locations and Impervious
surfaces, and the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious. For each
outfall, a narrative description of the potential pollutants which could be
expected to be present in the stormwater discharge.'
(4) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred at the facility
during the 3 previous years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill
impacts.
(5) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of
non-stormwater discharges.

inspection and a narrative description of the facility's stormwater control systems,
plant equipment and systems. Records of these inspections shall be incorporated into the
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
4. Sample collection and visual monitoring for color, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens
and dry weather flow, shall be performed at all stormwater discharge outfall locations.
If a facility has multiple discharge locations that are required to be sampled, the
permittee may petition the Director to sample at a reduced number of outfalis if it is
established that the stormwater discharges are substantially identical. Visual
observations shall be recorded for all outfall locations.
5. For purposes of the stormwater sampling required in this permit, all samples shall be
collected from a discharge resulting from a representative storm event (See Section C:
Stormwater Definitions). Failure to monitor storm events in accordance with the
specified frequency shall constitute a violation of this permit. If the stormwater runoff
is controlled by a detention pond, the following sampling requirements shall apply:
a. If the detention pond detains the runoff generated by one inch of rainfall for 24 hours, a
grab sample of the discharge from the pond shall be.collected within the first 30 minutes
of the discharge.
b. If the detention pond discharges only in response to a storm event exceeding a ten year
design storm (See Section C: Stormwater Definitions), visual observations for color,
foam, outfall staining, visible sheens, and dry weather flow are required, but analytical
sampling shall not be required.
C. If the detention pond discharges only in response to a storm event exceeding a 25-year,
24-hour storm (See Section C: Stormwater Definitions), the pond shall be considered a
non -discharging stormwater control system and not subject to NPDES requirements,
unless the discharge causes a violation of water quality standards.
6. Samples analyzed in accordance with the terms of this permit shall be submitted on
forms provided by the Dirctor no later than January 31 for the previous year in which
sampling was required to be performed.

SECTION A. DEFINITIONS
1. Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Water Quality.
2. DEly or "the Division" '
Means the Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment, Health and Natural
Resources.
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 sampled
and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled 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 sampled 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 daring any calendar day the weight of pollutant
calculated from it is the "maximurh daily discharge. This limitation is identified as "Daily
Maximum," in Part I of the permit.
d . The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
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 'suit by the number of days the tests were
reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in Part I of the permit.
a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of
the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled 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 1 of the permit:
d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal colform 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" to
Part I of the permit.
e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the minimum allowable amount
of dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge averaged
over a calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a calendar day, the
sample is considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the discharge. It is
identified as "daily average" in the text of Part 1:
f. The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken,over a calendar
quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I of the permit.
g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through
March, April through June, July through September, and October through December.
Part II
7. Other Measurements
a. Flow, (MGI)): 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.
c. A "continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility which
occurs continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow
shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow
or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device.
8. Types of Samples
a. Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of:
(1) a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of
discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of
individual ;m7samples
le collection, of
(2) a series of of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time
intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the
sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by
use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the present gallon interval between sample
collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment
system, or
(3) a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional to the rate of
now.
In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time
of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at time
intervals evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in number of hours to the
detention time of the system in number of days. However,` in no case may the time interval
between effluent grab samples be greater than six (6) hours not the number of samples less
than four (4) during a 24 hour sampling period.
b. Grab Sampler Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not
exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. Grab samples must be
representative of the discharge or the receiving waters.
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.
Part II
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.

damage;
(B) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary
treatment facilities, retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal
periods of equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup
equipment should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering
judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment
downtime or preventive maintenance; and
(C) The permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph c. of this section.
(2) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its
adverse affects, if, the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three
conditions listed above in Paragraph d. (1) of this section.
5. Upsets
a. Definition.
"Upset " means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary
noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors
beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance
to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities,
Part II
inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper
operation.
b . Effect of an upset.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with
such technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this
condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that
noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final
administrative action subject to judicial review.
c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset.
A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate,
through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that:
(1) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
(2) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and
(3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II, E. 6. (b) (B) of this
permit.

failures either by means of alternate power sources, standby, generators or retention of
inadequately treated effluent.
1. Representative Sampling
Samples collected and measurements taken, as required herein, shall be characteristic of the
volume and nature of the permitted discharge. Samples collected at a frequency less than daily
shall be taken on a day and time that is characteristic of the discharge over the entire period
which the sample represents. All samples shall be taken at the monitoring points specified in
this permit and, unless otherwise specified, before the effluent joins or is diluted by any other
wastestream, body of water, or substance. Monitoring points shall not be changed without
notification to and the approval of the Permit Issuing Authority.

Dear Mr. Humphrey:
4
April 14,1994
Subject: NPDES / NC
GE Lighting Systems
Henderson County
In accordance with your application for discharge permit received on October 6, 1992, we are
forwarding herewith the subject State - NPDES permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements
of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina
and the US Environmental Protection Agency dated December 6, 1983 In response to your letter of June
11, 1993, regarding your draft permit, the following NPDES permit comments are for your clarification.
They are in the same order as the June letter.
1. DEM agrees with the modification to include the stormwater outfall numbers and they have been
added to the supplement to cover page, the map and the stormwater effluent pages.
2. Part 1, Section B, 6 and Part II, Section D, 2 do create confusion by appearing to be contradictory.
Therefore, to reduce the confusion, Part I, B,6 has been removed from the test of the permit.
Reporting of the stormwater data shall be required to be submitted in accordance with Part H, Section
D, 2.
3. DEM agrees that the three per term is extensive for this short term permit. The has been changed at
the respective locations.
4. The stormwater outfall numbers have been added. At this point in time, DEM cannot concur with
your request to consider outfall 006 and outfall 008 similar. Therefore, sampling shall be required at all
stormwater outfalls. GE may submit more detailed information on outfall 006 and 008 and request
DEM re -calculate the outfalls for similarity..
5. After review of the files, it appears that cyanide and fluoride do not exist in levels that require
monitoring in the stormwater samples. Therefore DEM has removed the monitoring requirements for
cyanide and fluoride as well as their respective footnotes.
6. The requirement to sample for Total Toxic Organics shall remain in the permit. After submittal,
review, and approval of the solvent management plan, the facility shall have approval to submit the
certification statement in Part 1, Section C, 7 stating no dumping of concentrated toxic organics occur in
stormwater areas in lieu of sampling for TTO.
7. Part I, Section B, 7.b which requires monitoring for vehicle maintenance will remain in the permit in
case operational changes occur at the facility which result in vehicle maintenance generating new motor
oil use above 55 gallons per month average at the site. Until this occurs, General Electric should state

on discharge monitoring reports that the facility does not use over 55 gallons per month average and
therefore, the vehicle maintenance monitoring requirements do not apply.
8. To address the potential that new storage facilities are constructed in the future, the statement requiring
tank containment will remain in the permit.
9. The spelling correction has been made.
10. As was intended by this paragraph, all prior NPDES permits with the number NC0000507 will be
revoked upon the issuance of this NPDES permit. This action does in no way effect any other NPDES
or other permits held by this facility.
11. Several concerns have been raised by the Clean Water Fund concerning several parameters, cobalt,
carbon disulfide and xylenes. After review of the file data, the request for monitoring seems to be
warranted based on the need to obtain additional information to assess potential affects on receiving
waters. Therefore, as agreed to by General Electric in the June 17, 1993 letter, elm '
as been added to the effluent pages.
ar on a quarterly basis. If the data inAcars
concentrations of the above parameters sufficient to create a potential for adverse affects on the
receiving waters, the Division may reopen permit to address the concerns. Additionally, DEM will
require GE to take immediate steps to reduce sources in stormwater where possible.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are
unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicative hearing upon written request within thirty (30)
days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to
Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings,
Post Office Drawer 27447, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611 -7447. Unless such demand is made, this
decision shall be final and binding.
Please take notice this permit is not transferable. Part II, EA. addresses the requirements to be
followed in case of change in ownership or control of this discharge. This permit does not affect the legal
requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Environmental Management
or permits required by the Division of Land Resources, Coastal Area Management Act or any other Federal
or Local governmental permit that may be required.

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.
6. Noncompliance Notification
The permittee shall report by telephone to either the central office or the
appropriate regional office of the Division as soon as possible, but in
no case more than 24 hours or on the next working day following the
occurrence or first knowledge of the occurrence of any of the following:
Part II
Page 8 of 14
a. Any occurrence at the water pollution control facility which results in
the discharge of significant amounts of wastes which are abnormal in
quantity or characteristic, such as the dumping of the contents of a
sludge digester; the known passage of a slug of hazardous substance
through the facility; or any other unusual circumstances.
F.
b. Any process unit failure, due to known or unknown reasons, that render
the facility incapable of adequate wastewater treatment such as mechanical

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.
Part II
Page 11 of 14
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 "Daily Average" or "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" 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.
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.
Part II
Page 12 of 14
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" or
"Daily 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. It is identified as "Daily Maximum"
under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
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.
7. Other Measurements
8.
9
Part II
Page 13 of 14
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.
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.
Part II
Page 14 of 14
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.

with any appli.rable effInent guideline or water qua ity ste:,'dard i�sseied or
approved under Sections 302(b) (2) ic), at�d (d), 504, ) (2), and 3137(a) (2)
of the Clean Water Act, if the effluent- guideline or water quality standard
so issued or approved:
1. contains different conditions or is otherwise more. stringent than any
effluent limitation in the permit; or
2. controls any pollutant not limited in the permit.
The permit as modified or reissued under this paragraph shall also contain any
other requirements in the Act then applicable.
F. Toxicity Reopener
Part III
Permit No: NC0000507
This permit shall be modified, or revoked and reissued to incorporate toxicity
limitations and monitoring requirements in the event toxicity testing or other
studies conducted on the effluent or receiving stream indicate that detrimental
effects may be expected in the receiving stream as a result of this discharge.
G. Chronic Toxicity Testing Requirement
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity in any two
consecutive toxicity tests, using test procedures outlined in:
1). The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure
(North Carolina Chronic Bioassay Procedure - Revised *February 1987) or
subsequent version.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of
reproduction or significant mortality is 72% (defined as treatment two in the
North Carolina procedure document). The permit holder shall perform quarterly
monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance with the permit
condition. The first test will be performed after thirty days from issuance of
this permit during the months of January, April, July, and October. Effluent
sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final
effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be
entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which
it was performed, using the parameter code TGP3B. Additionally, DEM from AT-1
(original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: Technical Services Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
P.O. Box 27687
Raleigh, N.C. 27611
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting
chemical/physical measurements performed in association with the toxicity
tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the
effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed
for disinfection of the waste stream.
C
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified
limits, then monthly monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a
single test is passed. Upon passing, this monthly test requirement will revert
to quarterly in the months specified above..
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the
North Carolina Division of Environmental Management indicate potential impacts
to the receiving stream, this permit may be reopened and modified to include
alternate monitoring requirements or.limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document,
such as minimum control organism survival and appropriate environmental
controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate retesting
(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit suitable test
results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements.
W1
N. The permittee shall conduct a test for pollutants annually at the effluent from
the treatment plant. The discharge shall be evaluated as follows:
1) A pollutant analysis of the effluent must be completed annually using
EPA approved methods for the following analytic fractions: (a)
purgeables (i.e., volatile organic compounds); (b) acid extractables;
(c) base/neutral extractables; (d) organochlorine pesticides and PCB's
(e) herbicides; and (f) metals and other inorganics. The Annual
Pollutant Analysis (APA) Monitoring Requirement Reporting Form A, to
be provided to all discharges affected by this monitoring requirement,
describes the sampling and analysis requirements and lists chemicals
to be included in the pollutant analysis. This monitoring requirement
is to be referred to as the "Annual Pollutant Analysis" (APA).
2) Other significant levels of synthetic organic chemicals must be
identified and approximately quantified. For the purpose of
implementing this requirement, the largest 10 GC/MS peaks in each
organic chemical analytic fraction (or fewer than 10, if less than 10
unidentified peaks) occur for chemicals other than those specified on
the APA Monitoring Requirement Reporting Form A should be identified
and approximately quantified as stated in the APA Reporting Form A
instructions. This part (item 2) of the APA monitoring requirement is
to be referred to as the "10 significant peaks rule".
Permit Reopener
This permit shall be modified, or revoked and reissued to incorporate new
effluent limitations and monitoring requirements in the event testing or other
studies conducted on the effluent or receiving stream indicate that detrimental
effects may be expected in the receiving stream as a result of this discharge.

I. Introduction - This laboratory was inspected to verify its
compliance with the requirements of NCAC 2H .0200 for the analysis
of wastewater samples.
II. General Comments: Laboratory space and equipment are adequate to
do the analyses. Excellent bench sheets have been developed and
record keeping is very good.
A review of data was conducted. This consisted of comparing
laboratory bench sheets and contract lab reports to DMRs and
compliance report forms submitted to this Division. Data was reviewed
for both the wastewater treatment system and the groundwater
monitoring wells. The following items were noted:
A. Monitoring Wells - All data is generated by a contract lab.
Although not required, samples have been analyzed for silver.
This data has not been reported. It is required that all data
generated be reported. It is recommended that the feasibility of
the contract lab lowering the minimum reporting level for phenols
be investigated. Currently pbPnnls are reported to 50 ug/1.

IV. Recommendations:
The weighing of a low, medium, and high standard
weight was not documented. This must be done.
No blank was analyzed as required.
Air must be drawn through the flask with an
applied vacuum to ensure all Freon fumes are
removed.
Metals - A reagent blank is rum between each sample and
standard. This is a very good lab technique but
there is no documentation of it. It is
recommended that this be documented.
Oil & Grease - Since an emulsion is usually present, it is
recommended that the extraction be filtered
through sodium sulfate. See Standard Methods 17th
Edition 5520B.4.
IV. Conclusions: Overall the facility is doing a good job and appears
to be producing quality data. Upon correction of the above
deviations, all requirements of certification will be met.
Implementing the recommendations will further improve the quality of
the data.

Permit No. NC0000507
General Electric Company
Henderson County, North Carolina
Enclosed, for George Everett's signature, is a letter requiring
groundwater monitoring for compliance with NPDES Permit No. NC0000507 dated
April 28, 1989.
General Electric Company has been conducting groundwater compliance
monitoring since NPDES Permit No. NC0000507, effective December 20, 1983, was
modified (Attachment I) to require groundwater monitoring at the settling
basins at the NPDES facility. Specific groundwater monitoring requirements
were not included in the renewal of Permit No. NC0000507 Part III D.
(Attachment II) issued April 28, 1989. The enclosed letter for George
Everett's signature, serves as written notice for the effective groundwater
monitoring requirements.
As the result of compliance monitoring at this facility, groundwater
contamination by chlorinated solvents was discovered in the upgradient monitor
well (Attachment III) and Groundwater Incident No. 3481 investigation was
initiated. The parameters for organic analyses specified in the enclosed
letter are consistent with the ongoing incident investigation.
If you�have any comments or questions, please call me.

Director
Permit No. NC0000507 Part III D. issued on April 28, 1989, states that
groundwater monitoring may be required to determine compliance with groundwater
standards. This letter serves as written notice of groundwater monitoring
requirements for Permit No. NC0000507.
1. The three (3) existing downgradient monitor wells (Q84p10, Q84p11,
and Q84p12) and one (1) upgradient monitor well (Q84p9) shall be
sampled every March, July, and November for the following parameters:
TDS (500.) Lead (0.05)
pH (6.5-8.5 standard units) Zinc (5.0)
TOC Copper (1.0)
Chloride (250.0) Arsenic (0.05)
Phenols Aluminum
Sulfate (250.0) Total Suspended Solids
Chromium (0.05) Water Level
Volatile Organic Compounds by EPA Methods 601 and 602

Measurement of water level must be made prior to sampling.
The numbers in parentheses represent the maximum allowable
concentrations in groundwater for the various analytical parameters,
as specified in 15A NCAC 2L {Groundwater Classifications and
Standards}. Unless otherwise specified, the units for these
concentrations are expressed as milligrams per liter.
If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/l are detected in any
downgradient monitoring well, additional sampling and analysis must
be conducted to identify the individual constituents comprising this
TOC concentration. If the TOC concentration as measured in the
background monitor well exceeds 10 mg/l, this concentration will be
taken to represent the naturally,occurring TOC concentration. Any
exceedances of this naturally occurring TOC concentration in the
downgradient wells shall be subject to the additional sampling and
analysis as described above.
The results of the sampling and analysis shall be sent to the N. C.
Division of Environmental Management on Form GW-59 {Compliance Monitoring
Report Form} every April, August, and December.
If you have any comments or questions regarding this matter, please
contact Kay Dechant in the Asheville Regional Office at (704) 251-6208.

Dear Mr. Yarborough:
In accordance with the letter dated March 28, 1986, from Mr. Paul
Wilms, Director of the Division of Environmental Management, two ground-
water monitor wells need to be constructed downgradient from the large
settling basin, and one downgradient from the sludge disposal pit (wet
well). If sampling results from the proposed downgradient wells indicate
violations of groundwater standards, the construction of an upgradient
well and possibly more downgradient wells may be necessary.
The three wells should be constructed to the following specifications:
I. The wells shall be constructed in accordance with Title 15
North Carolina Administrative Code 2C, "Criteria And Standards
Applicable To Water Supply And Certain Other Type Wells".
II. A Well Construction Permit must be issued by the Division of
Environmental Management prior to construction (application
enclosed).
III. The three wells shall be completed to a depth of 30 feet
below the land surface and be equipped with a 10-foot
section of well screen from a depth of 20 feet to 30 feet
below the land surface.

Amendment of NPDES Permit No. NC0000507
Henderson County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Yarborough:
On September 1, 1984, in order to protect the groundwaters of the State,
Title 15 North Carolina Administrative Code 2L, Classifications And Water
Quality Standards Applicable To The Groundwaters Of North Carolina, became
effective. In accordance with these groundwater classifications, all facil-
ities that may have an impact on the groundwaters of the State are being
required to construct groundwater monitoring wells and sample these wells
at intervals deemed necessary by the Division of Environmental Management.
In order to fulfill the intent of Title 15 NCAC 2L, and in accordance
with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1(b), I am hereby modifying,=
NPDES Permit No. NC0000507 to require groundwater monitoring at this NPDES
facility. This permit modification is to be added under Section C, Monitor-
ing and Reporting, as Subsection 8 as follows:
8. Groundwater Monitoring
The Permittee shall, upon written notice from the
Division of Environmental Management, conduct
groundwater monitoring as may be required to
determine the compliance of this NPDES permitted
facility with current groundwater standards.

Dear Mr. Yarborough:
S. Thomas Rhodes, Secretary
Subject: Drum Holding Area and Underground
Petroleum Product Storage
General Electric Company
Henderson County, North Carolina
On September 5, 1985, I had a telephone conversation with Mr. Paul
Chin of your Company, to discuss suggestions made by Mr. Roy Davis, Ms.
Kay Dechant, and me with the Division of Environmental Management, on our
tour of the General Electric Company on July 9, 1985, in regard to ways
to minimize possible groundwater contamination from the plant's operation.
Mr. Chin informed me that the Company was ready to begin construction of
a concrete pad with a spill retaining curb around the drum storage area
but was concerned about what to do with the precipitation buildup on the
pad. In this case, the most viable alternative would be to put a roof
over the concrete pad.
While on the site on July 9, 1985, we discussed tank tests for several
underground petroleum storage tanks on the property. It was indicated to
us at that time that the Company had considered tank tests but were inclined
to wait until regulations regarding existing tanks were adopted as the
Company did not want to run repeat tests. We were informed that there were
some monitor wells installed at some of the tanks in the past, but they had
not been sampled since their installation. I would strongly suggest that
water samples be taken from these wells to.check for the presence of odor
or free petroleum products.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

I contacted Mr. Yarborough concerning subject site.
Mr. Yarborough indicated that there probably is not much
information-documented"on pre-1980 hazardous waste disposal.
G. E. also generates a substantial quantity of PCB wastes
which is now sent to Emelle, Alabama for burial. G.E. has
installed a number of groundwater monitoring wells around
underground storage tanks and sludge lagoons, although not
required to by DHS or DEM.. I told Mr. Yarborough that I
would send a letter requesting information on past disposal
and spill histories. Mr. Yarborough did not volunteer any
information concerning past practices or problems resulting
from these practices,

Dear Mr. Turner:.
The studies you referred to concerning sludge application on land at
High Point, North Carolina have been underway only a short time and,
consequently, we have collected minimum data so far. I am enclosing
a copy of the letter and data.summary which I recently sent to the regional
office of DNER outlining the progress at High Point.
Concerning your sludge problem from the newly constructed wastewater
pollution control plant at General Electric, I see no major problems of
land spreading this material if the flow rates and chemical makeup of the
sludge are as you show and suitable land area can be used. The basis for
my calculations are as follows:

For sludges that contain significant quantities of heavy metals, the
application rate is determined by the total loading of heavy metals which can
be applied to a particular soil without creating toxic conditions for the
crop or significant pollution in the ground or surface waters. There have
been several emperical equations developed for estimating this maximum loading
but the one used most often relates the sludge, in terms of zinc equivalents,
to the cation exchange capacity (CEC) of the soil. This equation is based
on studies that show copper is generally twice as toxic as zinc and nickel is
four times as toxic as zinc to most crops and that we could add toxic metals
up to 5 percent of the CEC of the soil without harmful effects. The total
accumulative sludge load that can be applied per acre is then determined by
the following equation:
CEC x 32,600
Dry tons of Sludge.= ppm Zn + (2) ppm Cu + (4) ppm Ni - 300
f
Mr. Richard Turner
Page 2
February 12, 1976
Based on a CEC of 5, which approximates the average of surface soils in
your area, the following rates were calculated for the sludge applications:
Dry tons of Sludge = 5(32,600)
3000+ 2 400 + 4 000 - 300
163,000
500
Dry tons of Sludge = 21.7 tons/acre
Since these metals accumulate in the soil, 21.7 tons of dry solids per
acre is the total sludge loading which may be safely applied to the land
at the General Electric site without creating heavy metal toxicity. This
says nothing about yearly application rates, which gets us to the next area
of concern, that of phosphorus loadings. While acid soils such as is found
in your area, are very efficient adsorbers of phosphates, adding very large
quantities of PO to soils at one loading may cause some short-term problems
such as induced Aeficl encies of other elements, or some transport of PO
to drainage waters. The long-term effect of continuous loadings should
4
produce few problems, however, because of this tremendous capacity of soils
to adsorb and remove P from solution.
If we look at the combined problem*of heavy metals and high P'loadings,
it would appear to me that the best management program would be one of
sludge application on grass such as fescue with yearly applications spread
,over about 10 acres. This land area would handle your sludge output at the
rate of 10 tons/year for the next 20 years without creating heavy metal
problems and the annual rate of PO of 550 lbs per acre should create no short-
term or long-term problems.
By spreading the sludge at the very light rate of 1 ton per acre per year,
this falls below loading rates where the EPA would require a detailed
monitoring of the field. This loading also allows light applications which
will dry quickly and minimize odor .development or surface movement of solids
from the field.
This is not to preclude the use of higher application rates on a smaller
acreage if a detailed site monitoring program is implemented and sludge
applications are well planned. However, if the land area is readily
available, the larger field could be easily managed with a minimum of
nuisance.. With such a small volume of waste, a minimum of equipment will be
required for handling. A small honey wagon, such as is used for liquid animal
wastes would do an adequate job of hauling and spreading.
If you have other questions or ,I can be of further service in your
operation, please feel free to call on me.

Item 3. Information concerning CERCLA hazardous substance
releases at your plant site such as spills of
feedstocks, leaking storage tanks, or other releases
(include locations on a map) and description of any
remedial actions undertaken.
Enclosed is a letter dated January 21, 1983 to the Division
of Environmental Management concerning a release of an estimated
1,400 gallons of #2 fuel oil on January 19, 1984. An unknown
quantity of this material entered a wastewater holding pond via a
storm drain. Incorporation of absorbent pads prevented this
material from entering Bat Fork Creek.
No .other records have been discovered concerning releases
which may have occurred in the past since the beginning of
manufacturing operations at this site in 1955.
Attached is a list of all.existing underground storage
tanks depicting material stored, tank status, storage capacity,
approximate locations, and presence of sampling wells.
Additionally, a topographical map depicting actual locations has
been attached. Materials have been and continue to be stored in
underground storage tanks. Pressure tests.to determine integrity
of the various storage tanks have not been performed.
Item 4. Provide a map of the site with the location of any
monitoring wells, production wells, or sump pump wells
located on your property.
Monitoring wells in existence at this site total sixteen
(16) in number. Included in this quantity are wells installed
adjacent to underground storage tanks (4) and wells installed in
four areas where wastewater treatment sludge was land applied
(12). Wells present in areas used for land application of sludge
are grouped as three units, each well to a varying depth.- Actual
locations of these monitoring wells are depicted on the attached
topographical map.
- 1 -
Item S. Provide chemical analysis results for any site
monitoring that has indicated contamination of soil,
groundwater, or sediments.
Site monitoring has been conducted in the wells depicted above
which were utilized to monitor those areas where wastewater
treatment sludges were land applied. Attached are results of
tests conducted by General Electric Company and the Department of
Natural Resources & Community Development on various occasions
between August 14, 1979 and August 11, 1981. Although these
