Subject: Rescission of NPDES Permit
Permit Number NCO039934
Crane Resistoflex WWTP
McDowell County
Dear Mr. Hancock:
Reference is made to your request for rescission of the subject NPDES permit. Staff of the
Asheville Regional Office have confirmed that this permit is no longer required. Therefore, in
accordance with your request, NPDES permit NCO039934 has been rescinded. As a point of
clarification, our computer records indicate the permit was rescinded on March 17, 2004.
Unfortunately, our staff did not send you a letter at that time to document its action. We regret
any inconvenience this has caused.
If in the future you wish to discharge wastewater to the State's surface waters, you must first
apply for and receive a new NPDES permit. Operating a facility without a valid NPDES permit
will subject the responsible party to a civil penalty of up to $25,000 per day.
If you have questions about this matter, please contact me at [phone], extension 547 or
the Water Quality staff in our Asheville Regional Office at [phone].

Subject: Renewal Notice
NPDES Permit NCO039934
Crane Resistoflex
McDowell County
Dear Permittee:
Your NPDES permit expires on December 31, 2004. Federal (40 CFR 122.41) and North Carolina (15A NCAC
2H.0105(e)) regulations require that permit renewal applications must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current
permit. If you have already mailed your renewal application, you may disregard this notice.
To satisfy this requirement, your renewal package must be sent to the Division postmarked no later than July 4, 2004.
Failure to request renewal of the permit by this date may result in a civil assessment of at least $500.00. Larger penalties may be
assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request.
If any wastewater discharge will occur after December 31, 2004, the current permit must be renewed. Discharge of
wastewater without a valid permit would violate North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1; unpermitted discharges of wastewater
may result in assessment of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day.
If all wastewater discharge has ceased at your facility and you wish to rescind this permit, contact Robert Farmer of the
Division's Compliance Enforcement Unit at [phone], extension 531. You may also contact the Asheville Regional Office
at [phone] to begin the rescission process.
Use the enclosed checklist to complete your renewal package. The checklist identifies the items you must submit with
the permit renewal application. If you have any questions, please contact Valery Stephens at the telephone number or e-mail
address listed below.

Subject: Permit Modifications
NPDES Permit Number
NCO039934
Crane Resistoflex
McDowell County
Dear Mr. Hancock:
Over several days you and I have had conversations regarding permit changes for Crane
Resistoflex in McDowell County. The inquiries, regarding permit changes, center on the plant's
impending connection to the new Pleasant Garden Sewer Extension. The purpose of this letter is
to give you guidance on how and when to request permit changes.
As part of our discussions, you requested information regarding, what it takes to drop your
operator certification. As long as you have an individual NPDES Permit you must have an ORC
and Backup ORC for your facility. In order to do away with your NPDES Permit I recommend
moving your non -contact cooling water discharges (002 and 003) to a general permit and once
your connected to the sewer line requesting the individual permit be rescinded: The outcome will
be that the plant will have both a General Wastewater Discharge Permit for the cooling water and
a Stormwater Permit for your facility. In order to achieve this, I recommend that you wait until you
are connected to the new sewer line, then request, in the form of a letter; 1) that NPDES Permit
Number NCO039934 be rescinded and 2) your desire to have General Permit for your non -
discharge cooling water (complete the attached Notice of Intent (NOI)). You should send copies
to the NPDES Permitting Unit, the Stormwater and General Permits Unit and to the Asheville
Regional Office. Once I receive your letter, I. will attempt to expedite or at least keep all parties
informed of your request, to avoid confusion.
Should you have any question regard1ing this matter you may contact me at (828) 251-

Mr. Silvers:
Mr. Steve Grindstaff of the McDowell -County Health Department, requested that I send
you information on Crane Resistoflex's permit status, in order to expedite building permits. Crane
Resistoflex currently has two (2) active permits with the Division of Water Quality. The first is
NPDES Wastewater Permit Number NC0039934. This permit authorizes the plant to discharge
treated wastewater, from their wastewater treatment plant to a tributary of the Catawba River.
This permit also allows the plant to discharge non -contact cooling water, used in the plant's
processes, to the Catawba River at two (2) separate points or outfalls. The second is the NPDES
Stormwater Permit Number NCG030499. This permit authorizes the plant to discharge
stormwater from the plant property that has been adequately treated and managed in accordance
with their permit. The plant was last inspected on March 7, 2002 and was determined to be in
compliance with its permit conditions.
Finally, the Division has no issue with the Plant adding onto its existing floor drain system,
as long as the system continues to be operated in the manner it is, which precludes the discharge
of any material other than non -contact cooling water.
Should you require more information or have any questions regarding these permits
please contact me at [phone].

PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
SECTION A. DEFINITIONS
1. Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Water Quality.
2. DEM 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 ].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 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 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 2 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 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 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.
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 I.
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.

7. 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.
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.
B. 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 sample
collection, or
(2) a series of grab samples 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 flow.
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 nor the number of samples less than four (4) during a
24 hour sampling period.
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. 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 H .

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.

4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities
a. Definitions
(1) 'Bypass" means the known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment
facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or operating
mode for the facility.
(2) "Severe property damage" means substantial physical damage to property, damage to the
treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent
loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a
bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss caused by delays in
production.
b. Bypass not exceeding limitations.
The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to be
exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation. These
bypasses are not subject to the provisions of Paragraphs c. and d. of this section.
c. Notice
(1) Anticipated bypass. If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall
submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass; including an

(2) Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as
required in Part II, E. 6. of this permit: (24 hour notice).
d. Prohibition of Bypass
(1) Bypass is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement action against
a permittee for bypass, unless:
(A) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property
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
(0 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. URsets
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, 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.
(4) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part 11, B. 2. of this

Solids, sludges, filter backwash, or other pollutants removed in the course of treatment or control of
wastewaters shall be utilized/disposed of in accordance with NCGS 143-215.1 and in a manner such
as to prevent any pollutant from such materials from entering waters of the State or navigable
waters of the United States. The permittee shall comply with all existing federal regulations
governing the disposal of sewage sludge. Upon promulgation of 40 CFR Part 503, any permit issued
by the Permit Issuing Authority for the utilization/disposal of sludge may be reopened and
modified, or revoked and reissued, to incorporate applicable requirements at 40 CFR Part 503. The
permittee shall comply with applicable 40 CFR Part 503 Standards for the Use and Disposal of
Sewage Sludge (when promulgated) within the time provided in the regulation, even if the permit
is not modified to incorporate the requirement. The permittee shall notify the Permit Issuing
Authority of any significant change in its sludge use or disposal practices.

The Division received your permit renewal application on August 18, 1999. Thank you for
submitting this package in a timely fashion.
The permit renewal for this facility will be assigned to a member of the NPDES Unit staff.
That staff member will contact you if further information is needed to complete the permit
renewal. Please note that the NPDES Unit currently has five vacant positions. This staff shortage
is delaying all permit renewals. Our remaining permit writers are currently reviewing
Authorizations to Construct, speculative limit requests, major permit modifications and 201 plan
updates ahead of permit renewals. This is necessary due to a variety of factors, including
mandatory deadlines in the statutes which govern our program.
If this staff shortage delays reissuance of NCO039934, the existing requirements in your
permit will remain in effect until the permit is renewed (or the Division takes other action). We
appreciate your patience and understanding while we operate with a severely depleted staff. If you
have any additional questions concerning renewal of the subject permit, please contact me at

Status: In Compliance
Crane Resistoflex Company
NPDES Permit Number NCO039934
,McDowell County
Dear Mr. Proctor:
A Compliance Sampling Inspection of the wastewater
treatment plant serving Crane Resistoflex was conducted on
April 13, 1999. The two outfalls for non -contact cooling
water were also inspected. A copy of the inspection report is
enclosed for your review.
The following observations were made during the
inspection. The effluent chlorine residual was 1.33 mg/l.
Mr. Marvin Hancock said that the high residual was due to the
addition of calcium hypochlorite to the polishing pond to
treat algae on the previous day. It is recommended that the
pond dosage be reduced in future applications so that'the
chlorine residual is not elevated. To prevent aquatic
toxicity effects, DWQ recommends maintaining the effluent
chlorine residual below 0.3 mg/l.
The sludge in the aeration basin appeared to be older due
to its dark brown color. The sludge also settled very quickly
in the settlometer test, to 25% solids in the first 7 minutes
and to 190 solids in 30 minutes. Generally, a sludge that
settles quickly to 40% or less indicates an older sludge. If
the sludge becomes too old, it will not settle well. However,
the polishing pond provides additional solids removal in your
system. If you were interested in decreasing the sludge age,
sludge could be wasted at a rate not to exceed 10a of the
influent volume on a daily basis.
In a microscopic examination (100X) of the mixed liquor,
crawling ciliates and stalked ciliates were observed. These
microorganisms indicate a good settling sludge. In summary,

if your system is operating well, I would not recommend any process
changes.
Overall, the wastewater treatment plant is very well operated and

Dear Mr. Proctor:
A Compliance Sampling Inspection of the wastewater
discharges from Crane Reisistoflex was conducted on March 4,
1997. A copy of the inspection report and effluent results are
listed on the inspection report.
Sample results indicated that both wastewater discharges
were operating in compliance with the effluent limitations
contained in Crane Resistoflex's NPDES Permit. Mr. Marvin
Hancocks' assistance during the inspection was greatly
appreciated.
If you have questions or need assistance, please call me at
704/251-6208.
Sincerely,
Michael R. Parker
