Linda,
I went last in 2016. 1 will go again sometime this year. They have a local permit. Most of their water does not come to
us. Only the bathrooms and the overflow from the reclaim tank are connected to MSD sewer lines. All other drains and
piping lead to the river. Please see the attached description.

Hi Brendan and Landon,
The Division of Environmental Assistance and Customer Service received a call on the DEQtoll-free line from:
Caller: Kevin
[phone]
Message: The caller has concerns for both worker health and the environment at Silver -Line Plastics in
Asheville. NC DQL referred him to DEQ for his environmental concerns. He reports that the water
from the cooling tanks that provide process water to cool extruded plastics is "completely
contaminated". He did not mention if there was a discharge to the sewer system, so this may be just

Silver -Line Plastics Corp.
There are 2 unmetered wells and 2 metered city water lines at the main facility. There is a meter for the
Orangeburg building and the Ethan Allen building. Both wells are not used at this time. One of them had a lot of mud.
The southern most buildings are the Buckstove Buildings. The building nearest the street has two rooms. The
southernmost room is being rented to another company and it was locked. It had storm drains that have been sealed with
concrete. The northern room is sloped leading into and out of the doorway. There were 2 drums of oil and a partial drum
of varsol. Varsol is used for cleaning the ends of pipes. The drain in the middle of the room has been concreted over.
In the building further away from the street, they had the fabrication shop. That has been moved to the old boiler
room of Eaton Allen. There is just dry storage of pipes and equipment. There is no floor drain.
For the Main Plant Facility, theslsafh'°�oo'""`tn J e oZv3fro h°e r cia [ to ale ff 0 ilk aroas canoe
UTAMS p sc la s All other drains and piping lead to the river for dischazge. From the reclaim system, it is only
when the tanks overflow that it drains to MSD. This occurs when a line goes off line and the water is drained or when
there is a line that goes through a product change out.
In production everything is computerized and precision of accuracy is critical.
The plastic piping is made up of various dry chemicals such as polyvinyl chloride and polyethylene. The only
liquid additive is Advastab. Sometimes a liquid dye is added. These chemicals are mixed together. (if needed, old plastic
or recyclable plastic is ground up and added. They then are directed to the extruder which, under heat and pressure, form
the pipe. The extruder uses reclaim water.
Then the pipe is cooled using chiller water. This is city water that is cooled through chiller (The cooling tower
has been removed.) Each machine has a reservoir which cools the PVC. Periodically they are drained or they oveLflow
when they are filled up. The water is pumped to the reclaim tank.
The next stage is printing the size. and name on the pipe. Ink for the printing portion comes in pint size
containers. Cleanup of the rollers is done with MEK. There is no longer a drum of waste ink and solvent. It is now made
up of rags and and solvent evaporates.
Then the pipe is cut to its designed length.
The final stage is where a cylindrical heating iron melts and molds the coupling onto the end of the pipe. This
increases the diameter of the end of the pipe to allow another pipe section to fit into it. Again it is cooled using eclaim
water.
The reclaim "system was installed ill 2011.
The water drains to a 600 gallon tank outside\in-t e
back. It is then pumped to the 1" 3,000 gallon tank.
After passing through the 3`d 3,000 gallon tank it ti
enters the building, passes through a series of
filters, it then enters the chiller outside the building.
There is one on a stand and anther on the roof.
From there it is sent to the Chilled Water Reservior,
which is in a containment area. The only drain
from the containment area is in the wall which leads to the ground outside.
3,000 3,000 3,000
To pump to the Chillers, the pumps were submersible pumps in the tanks.
Now they are in the building.
There are 6 reclaim filters. Three are used at a time, while the other 3 gal
are cleaned. I was told that cleaning involves taking out the screening and

If you have questions about this matter, please contact Charles Weaver of my staff at the
telephone number or address listed below.

Subject: Notice of Violation
Failure to Submit Renewal Application
NPDES Permit NCO023591
Silver Line Plastics Corporation
Buncombe County
Dear Permittee:
The subject permit's expiration date is October 31, 2010. Federal [40 CFR 122] and state (15A NCAC
211.0105 (e)) regulations require that an application for permit renewal be filed at least 180 days prior to
expiration of the current permit. To satisfy this requirement, your renewal package should have been sent
to the Division postmarked no later than May 4, 2010.
As of this date, the Division has not received your renewal application. This is a violation of Part II.
B. 10. of your permit, which states "Any permittee that has not requested renewal at least 180 days prior to
expiration... will subject the permittee to enforcement procedures as provided in NCGS 143-215.6 and 33
USC 1251 et. seq.". To prevent an assessment of civil penalties you must submit a completed
permit application (see enclosed forms) no later than July 8, 2010.
Use the enclosed checklist to complete your renewal package. The checklist identifies the items you
must submit with the permit renewal application. If all wastewater discharge from your facility has ceased
and you wish to rescind this permit [or if you have any questions] please contact Charles H. Weaver of my
staff. His telephone number, fax number and e-mail address are listed at the bottom of this page.
Sincerely,

NPDES Permit No. NCO023591
Silver Line Plastics WWTP
Buncombe County
Dear Mr. Silver:
This is to inform you that a review of your toxicity self -monitoring report form for the month of
February 2001 indicates a violation of the toxicity limitation specified in your NPDES Permit.
You should take whatever remedial actions are necessary to eliminate the conditions causing the effluent
toxicity violation(s). Your efforts may include conducting a Toxicity Reduction Evaluation (TRE) which is a
site -specific study designed to identify the causative agents of effluent toxicity, isolate the sources of toxicity,
--evaluate the effectiveness- of toxicity control options, and then confirm reductions in effluent toxicity. Please be
aware that North Carolina General Statutes provide for. assessment of civil penalties for violations of NPDES
permit limitations and requirements.
The reverse side of this Notice contains important information concerning your Whole Effluent Toxicity
Monitoring and Reporting Requirements. Please note updated mailing addresses for submitting your Discharge
Monitoring Reports (DMRs) and Aquatic Toxicity (AT) Test Forms. We encourage you to review this
information and if it would be helpful to discuss this situation or possible solutions to resolve effluent toxicity
noncompliance, please contact Mr. Keith Haynes with this office at [phone].

WHOLE EFFLUENT TOXICITY MONITORING AND REPORTING INFORMATION
➢ The following items are provided in an effort to assist you with identifying critical and sometimes overlooked toxicity
testing and reporting information. Please take time to review this information. The items below do not address or
include all the toxicity testing and reporting requirements contained in your NPDES permit. If you should have any
questions about your toxicity testing requirement, please contact Mr. Kevin Bowden with the Aquatic Toxicology Unitat
[phone] or another Unit representative at the same number.
➢ The permittee is responsible for ensuring that toxicity testing is conducted according to the permit requirement and that
toxicity report forms are appropriately filed.
➢ The reporting of whole effluent toxicity testing data is a dual requirement. All toxicity test results must be entered (with
the appropriate parameter code) on your monthly Discharge Monitoring Report which is submitted to:
North Carolina Division of Water Quality
Central Files
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1617
IN ADDITION
Toxicity test data (original "AT" form) must be submitted to the following address:
North Carolina Division of Water Quality
Environmental Sciences Branch
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
➢ Toxicity test results shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch no later than 30 days after the end of the
reporting period (eg, January test result is due by the end of February).
➢ Toxicity test condition language contained in your NPDES permit may require use of multiple concentration toxicity
testing upon failure of any single quarterly toxicity test. If the initial pass/fail test fails or if the chronic value is lower
than the permit limit, then at least two multiple concentration toxicity tests (one per month) will be conducted over the
following two months. As many analyses as can be completed will be accepted. If your NPDES permit does not require
use of multiple concentration toxicity testing upon failure of any single quarterly test, you may choose to conduct either
single concentration toxicity testing or multiple concentration toxicity testing per the Division's WET enforcement
initiatives effective July 1, 1999. Follow-up multiple concentration toxicity testing will influence the Division's
enforcement response.
➢ Toxicity testing months are specified by the NPDES Permit, except for NPDES Permits which contain episodic toxicity
monitoring requirements (eg, if the testing months specified in your NPDES permit are March, June, September, and
December, then toxicity testing must be conducted during these months).
➢ If your NPDES Permit specifies episodic monitoring and your facility does not have a discharge from January 1-June 30,
then you must provide written notification to the Environmental Sciences Branch by June 30 that a discharge did not
occur during the first six months of the calendar year.
➢ If you receive notification from your contract laboratory that a test was invalidated, you should immediately notify the
Environmental Sciences Branch at [phone] and provide written documentation indicating why the test was
invalidated and the date when follow-up testing will occur.
➢ If your facility is required to conduct toxicity testing during a month in which no discharge occurs, you should complete
the information block located at the top of the AT form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county
and the month/year of the subject report. You should also write "No Flow" on the AT form, sign the form and submit
following normal procedures. 11
➢ The Aquatic Toxicity Test forms shall be signed by the facility's Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) except for
facilities which have not received a facility classification. In these cases, a duly authorized facility representative must
sign the AT form. The AT form must also be signed by the performing lab supervisor.
➢ To determine if your AT test forms were received on time by the Division of Water Quality, you may consider submitting
your toxicity test results certified mail, return receipt requested to the Environmental Sciences Branch.

Subject: Whole effluent toxicity test results
Silverline Plastics
NPDES Permit # NCO023591/001
Buncombe County
The aquatic toxicity test using a grab sample of effluent discharged from Silverline Plastics
has been completed. Silverline Plastics has an effluent discharge permitted at 0.096 million
gallons per day (MGD) entering French Broad River (7Q10 of 466 CFS). A whole effluent
sample was collected September 26 by Keith Haynes for use in an acute Ceriodaphnia dubia
pass/fail toxicity test. The sample failed the acute Ceriodaphnia dubia toxicity test. Toxicity
test information follows.
Test Type 24-hour Ceriodaphnia dubia pass/fail
Test Concentrations 90% sample
Test Result Fail
Control Survival .. 100%
Test Treatment Survival 0%
Sample pH 6.87 SU
Sample Conductivity 228 micromhos/cm
Sample Total Residual Chlorine <0.1 mg/L
Test results for this sample indicate that the effluent would be predicted to have acute water
quality impacts on receiving water. Please contact us if further effluent toxicity monitoring is
desired. We may be reached at [phone].

Instructions
The purpose of this docurrLent and the accompanying memo is to standardize the sampling, analysis and reporting procedures to be used
for the Annual Pollutant Analysis Monitoring (APAM) Requirement as described in the permit.
Sampling
1 - Take a 24-hour composite sample from the final effluent during mid -week (Wednesday through Friday). Collect a grab sample for the volatile .
organic fraction when collection of the 24-hour composite sample is completed. Follow any other sampling instructions provided by the laboratory
performing the analysis.
2 Indicate in the space provided at the top of this page whether a corresponding sample for toxicity testing was taken.
3 - Make note of any unusual wastewater treatment operating conditions occurring on the day of sampling in the space provided on the form.
Analysis
4 - Ahalyze the effluent for pollutants listed on the APAM form, including those to be identified and approximately quantified under the 10
significant peaks rule, using appropriate EPA -approved methods for each of the analytic fractions. Other analytical methods can be substituted
only with prior, written approval of the Director of the Division of Environmental Management (DEM). Read and distribute to the laboratory
performing the analysis the accompanying memo (Tedder, October 1990) clarifying analytical requirements.
5 - Identify chemicals to be analyzed for according to the 10 significant peaks rule (as described in item 2 of the Annual Pollutant Analysis
Monitoring Requirement in the permit) using a GC/MS library search.'Tentative identification is all that is required; confirrrzation by standard
Injection is not necessary. Estimate the concentration of each based on an internal standard having the closest retention time.
Reporting
6 - Ouantitation Limit Targets that should be met are listed on this Revised APAM Reporting Form A. Report the use of any higher quantita-
tion limit and an explanation as to why the listed quantitation limit target could not be met. Examples of acceptable reasons for not meeting
a quantitation limit target could be high background concentrations in a sample, or the necessity for sample fraction dilution to bring a chemical
to within a quantifiable concentration. List any quantitation limit differtent (whether higher or lower) from the target in the column provided
for this purpose.
7 - If a chemical is found to be below the quantitation limit, report the concentration detected as less than (orthe quantitation limit
in the appropriate space. Provide a concentration estimate for chemicals detected in concentrations greater than the detection limit and less
than the quantitation limit. Enter the detection limit in parentheses beside the estimate. Chemicals detected in concentrations above the quan-
titation limits must be quantified. Ouantitation limit and detection limit are defined in the accompanying memo (Tedder, October 1990). Enter
the total number of peaks detected in each analytic fraction in the appropiiate space on this Revised APAM Form A. Report all concentrations
In units of micrograms per liter (ug/1) and metals as total recoverable metal. If no peaks to be Identified under the 10 significant peaks rule
are observed, enter "none" in the space provided for "other" compounds In each appropriate analytic fraction section. Provide the concentra-
tion estimate and retention time for "unknowns" as well as for "significant peaks" for which a structural assignment can be made.
8 - If "significant peaks" are found, provide probable molecular weight, library match probability, retention time, identification basis, and
MS scan number for each. In addition, list Internal standards and their retention times.
9 - In the section labeled "Organic Analytical Information" (p. 9), include for each organic fraction the method, extraction technique, GC
operating conditions, and surrogate recovery. Report the size of the GCIMS library being utilized In the appropriate space.
10 - Use copies of this Annual Pollutant Analysis Monitoring Revised Form A to report the results of the analysis. Both the analytical laboratory
representative and the facility operator in responsible charge should sign completed forms (last page).
11 - Mail two completed copies of the form (and the laboratory report, if submitted to the facility on a different form) to: ATTN: Central Files,
Division of Environmental Management, NC DEHNR, P.O. Box 2760 Raleigh, NC 27414. Mail the APAM form separately from Discharge Monitoring

Max,
Your interpretation is correct. In terms of the frequency of monitoring -- the rule
also
specifies that "for most permits" the minimum monitoring frequency will be quarterly.
Obviously, this is vague enough to give us some room, but our policy is to give
continuous discharging systems quarterly WET test limits. I don't really see a case
for
giving these guys less than quarterly testing. If it would be helpful, Natalie could
send you a copy of the Aquatic Toxicology Unit's policy memos. on this.

Re: NPDE-,S Permit No. N00023591 Renewal, Buncombe COII171V
Mr. Weaver:
We respectfully request renewal of our NPDES Permit.
Enclosed you will find our application in triplicate. The results of a priority
pollutant analysis performed by Test America in accordance with Part 122.21 of
Appendix A of 40 C.F.R., Part 122 was not received in time to be sent with this letter and
application. As soon as we receive the results, we will forward them.
Concerning a sludge management plan, we have no such plan because we do not
generate any solids.
Thank you for your attention to our request. If you have any questions or need
any additional information, please call our Compliance Director, Bryan Dover or me.
Sincerely
Ricky C. I ver

Subject: Renewal of NPDE-9 Permit NC0023591
SILVER -LINE PLASTICS Corporation
BUNCOMBE County
Dear Permittee:
The subject permit expires on September 30, 2000. North Carolina Administrative Code (15A NCAC
2H.0105(e)) requires that an application for permit renewal be filed at least 180 days prior; to expiration of the
current permit.
To satisfy this requirement, your renewal package must be sent to the Division postmarked no later than
April 3, 2000. Failure to request renewal of the permit by this date will result in a civil assessment of at least
$250.00. Larger penalties may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request.
If any wastewater discharge will occur after September 30, 2000 (or if continuation of the permit is
desired), the current permit must be renewed. Operation of wastewater treatment works or continuation of
discharge after September 30, 2000 would violate North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and could 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 me. My telephone
number, fax number and e-mail address are listed at the bottom of this page.

This is to inform you that a review of your toxicity self -monitoring report form for the month of May 2008
indicates a violation of the toxicity limitation specified in your NPDES Permit.
You should take whatever remedial actions are necessary to eliminate the conditions causing the effluent toxicity
violation(s). Your efforts may include conducting a Toxicity Reduction Evaluation (TRE), a site -specific study designed
to identify the causative agents of effluent toxicity, isolate the sources of toxicity, evaluate the effectiveness of toxicity
control options, and confirm reductions in effluent toxicity. Please be aware that North Carolina General Statutes provide
for assessment of civil penalties for violations of NPDES permit limitations and requirements..
The reverse side of this Notice contains important information concerning your Whole Effluent Toxicity
Monitoring and Reporting Requirements. Please note appropriate mailing addresses for submitting your Discharge
Monitoring Reports (DMRs) and Aquatic Toxicity (AT) Test Forms. We encourage you to review this information; if it
would be helpful to discuss this situation or possible solutions to resolve effluent toxicity noncompliance, please contact
Mr. John Giorgino with this office at [phone].

WHOLE EFFLUENT TOXICITY MONITORING AND REPORTING INFORMATION
➢ The following items are provided in an effort to assist you with identifying critical and sometimes overlooked toxicity testing and
reporting information. Please take time to review this information. The items below do not address or include all the toxicity testing
and reporting requirements contained in your NPDES permit. If you should have any questions about your toxicity testing
requirement, please contact Mr. John Giorgino with the Aquatic Toxicology Unit at [phone] or another Unit representative at the
same number.
➢ The permittee is responsible for ensuring that toxicity testing is conducted according to the permit requirement and that toxicity report
forms are appropriately filed.
➢ The reporting of whole effluent toxicity testing data is a dual requirement. All toxicity test results must be entered (with the appropriate
parameter code) on your monthly Discharge Monitoring Report which is submitted to:
North Carolina Division of Water Quality
Central Files
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1617
IN ADDITION
Toxicity test data (original "AT" form) must be submitted to the following address:
North Carolina Division of Water Quality
Environmental Sciences Section
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
➢ Toxicity test results shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no later than 30 days after the end of the reporting
period (eg, January test result is due by the end of February).
➢ Toxicity test condition language contained in your NPDES permit may require use of multiple concentration toxicity testing upon failure
of any single quarterly toxicity test. If the initial pass/fail test fails or if the chronic value is lower than the permit limit, then at least two
multiple concentration toxicity tests (one per month) will be conducted over the following two months. As many analyses as can be
completed will be accepted. If. your NPDES permit does not require use of multiple concentration toxicity testing upon failure of any
single quarterly test, you may choose to conduct either single concentration toxicity testing or multiple concentration toxicity testing per
the Division's WET enforcement initiatives effective July 1, 1999. Follow-up multiple concentration toxicity testing will influence the
Division's enforcement response.
➢ Toxicity testing months are specified by the NPDES Permit, except for NPDES Permits which contain episodic toxicity monitoring
requirements (eg, if the testing months specified in your NPDES permit are March, June, September, and December, then toxicity testing
must be conducted during these months).
➢ If your NPDES Permit specifies episodic monitoring and your facility does not have a discharge from January I -June 30, then you must
provide written notification to the Environmental Sciences Section by June 30 that a discharge did not occur during the first six months
of the calendar year.
➢ If you receive notification from your contract laboratory that a test was invalidated, you should immediately notify the Environmental
Sciences Section at [phone] and provide written documentation' indicating why the test was invalidated and the date when
follow-up testing will occur.
➢ If your facility is required to conduct toxicity testing during a month in which no discharge occurs, you should complete the information
block located at the top of the AT form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county and the month/year of the
subject report. You should also write "No Flow" on the AT form, sign the form and submit following normal procedures.
➢ The Aquatic Toxicity Test forms shall be signed by the facility's Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) except for facilities which have
not received a facility classification. In these cases, a duly authorized facility representative must sign the AT form. The AT form must
also be signed by the performing lab supervisor.
➢ To determine if you're AT test forms were received on time by the Division of Water Quality, you consider submitting your
toxicity test results certified mail, return receipt requested to the Environmental Sciences Section.

A. (3.) ACUTE TOXICITY PASS/FAIL LIMIT (Quarterl
The permittee shall conduct acute toxicity tests on a quarterly basis using protocols defined in the
North Carolina Procedure Document entitled "Pass/Fail Methodology For Determining Acute Toxicity
In A Single Effluent Concentration" (Revised -July, 1992 or subsequent versions). The monitoring
shall be performed as a Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas) 24 hour static test. The effluent
concentration at which there may be at no time significant acute mortality is 90% (defined as
treatment two in the procedure document). Effluent samples for self -monitoring purposes must be
obtained during representative effluent discharge below all waste treatment. The tests will be
performed during the months of February, May, August, and November.
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 TGE6C. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-2 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Quality
Environmental Sciences Branch
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch no
later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made.
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.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is
required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT)
test form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of
the report with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be
submitted to the Environmental Sciences Branch at the address cited above.
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 the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, 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 either these monitoring requirements or tests performed by the North
Carolina Division of Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may
be re -opened 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 follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month
following the month of the initial monitoring.

Permit NC0023591
A. (4) BIOCIDE CONDITION - FINAL
The permittee shall not use any biocides except those approved in conjunction with the
permit application. The permittee shall notify the Director in writing not later than ninety
(90) days prior to instituting use of any additional biocide used in cooling systems which
may be toxic to aquatic life other than those previously reported to the Division of Water
Quality. Such notification shall include completion of Biocide Worksheet Form 101 and a
map locating the discharge point and receiving stream.

NPDES Permit Requirements

consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
Calendar Quarter
One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December.
Composite Sample
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 nil in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The
Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time
interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically.
Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant time/variable volume: 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
(3) Variable time/constant volume: 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

In accordance with (4) above, influent grab samples shall not be collected more than once per hour.
Effluent grab samples shall not be collected more 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
intervals evenly spaced over the 24-hour period that are equal in number of hours to the detention time of the
system in number of days. However, the interval between effluent grab samples may not exceed six hours nor
the number of samples less than four during a 24-hour sampling period.
Continuous flow measurement

monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance
activities on the flow device.
Daily Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as
the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. The "daily discharge" concentration comprises the mean
concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the arithmetic mean of all
grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.3)
Daily Maximum
The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month.
Daily Sampling
Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the
permit. The Division expects that sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other
disruptions of normal operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week
for any permit parameter(s), that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s).
DWO or "the Division"
The Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
EMC
The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
Facility Closure
The cessation of wastewater treatment at a permitted facility, or the cessation of all activities that require coverage
under the NPDES. Completion of facility closure will allow this permit to be rescinded.
Geometric Mean
The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of
calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection leveq'� shall be considered =1.
Grab Sample
Individual samples of at least 100 ml collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be
collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream
samples).
Hazardous Substance
Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.
Instantaneous flow measurement
A measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total
discharge.

This abnormal result in our TSS test has been linked to maintenance and cleaning being
performed in our facility. This cleaning process apparently sent sand and/or grit through
a drain that had been inadvertently opened. This situation has been resolved and should
not happen again. Our two tests in the month of October resulted in an average of 3.56
mg/1, thus indicating the problem resolved.
If you have any questions regarding our permit or this unusual occurrence, feel free to

➢ Toxicity test results shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no later than 30 days after the end of the reporting
period (eg, January test result is due by the end of February).
➢ Toxicity test condition language contained in your NPDES permit may require use of multiple concentration toxicity testing upon
failure of any single quarterly toxicity test. If the initial pass/fail test fails or if the chronic value is lower than the permit limit, then at
least two multiple concentration toxicity tests (one per month) will be conducted over the following two months. As many analyses as
can be completed will be accepted. If your NPDES permit does not require use of multiple concentration toxicity testing upon failure
of any single quarterly test, you may choose to conduct either single concentration toxicity testing or multiple concentration toxicity
testing per the Division's WET enforcement initiatives effective July 1, 1999. Follow-up multiple concentration toxicity testing will
influence the Division's enforcement response.
➢ Toxicity testing months are specified by the NPDES Permit, except for NPDES Permits which contain episodic toxicity monitoring
requirements (eg, if the testing months specified in your NPDES permit are March, June, September, and December, then toxicity
testing must be conducted during these months).
➢ Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, then monthly monitoring will begin
immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing this monthly test requirement, the permittee will revert to the
quarterly months specified in the permit. Please note that your permit may or may not contain this language.
➢ If your NPDES Permit specifies episodic monitoring and your facility does not have a discharge from January 1-June 30, then you
must provide written notification to the Environmental Sciences Section by June 30 that a discharge did not occur during the first six

FROM: David A. Goodrich
NPDES Unit Supervisor
SUBJECT: Total Residual Chlorine Policy for NPDES permits
Every thtee years the State is required by the Clean Water Act to review its surface water quality standards and
classifications, determine if changes are needed and to make any necessary changes. This review process is referred to
as the "triennial review." Public hearings were held to solicit comments for the 2000-2003 Triennial Review, of surface
water quality standards during the summer of 2002. The Hearing Officer's recommendations were presented before
the state's Environmental Management Commission on October 10, 2002.
The Hearing Officer's recommended changes included modifications to the existing standards for Arsenic, Cyanide,
Methylene Blue Active Substances (MBAS) and Total Residual Chlorine (TRC). The Hearing Officer also
recommended the addition of a standard for Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE).
All of the Hearing Officer's proposed changes were adopted with the exception of MTBE. The changes took effect
on April 1, 2003. This memo documents the changes to the NPDES permitting policy for TRC limits.
Total Residual Chlorine (TRC)
Previously, TRC had an Action Level Standard, except in designated Trout waters. The Triennial Review changes
modified the TRC Action Level Standard to an Aquatic Life Standard of 17 µg/L. The Aquatic Life Standard will
remain for designated Trout waters.
Aquatic Life Standard —17 µg/L (freshwater only) Trout Waters —17 µg/L
Revised TRC Policy
➢ TRC limits will be assigned to permit renewals and all new permits issued after April 1, 2003.
➢ Facilities that do not use chlorine will not receive a TRC limit; however, the presence of a chlorine back-up
system to augment UV or other disinfection requires a TRC limit.
➢ Facilities discharging to streams with a 7Q10 <0.05 cfs (zero -flow streams) will receive a limit of 17 µg/L.
➢ Limits will be capped at 28 µg/L to protect against acute impacts_
It is likely that many facilities will need to add dechlorination (or use another means of disinfection) to comply with
the new TRC standard. Therefore, a compliance schedule of 18 months from the effective date of the permit may
be added to any TRC limit added during the current permit renewal. This time period is allowed in order for the
facility to budget and design/construct the dechlorination and/or alternative disinfection system(s). The NPDES
Unit has promulgated minimum design criteria in order to expedite permitting of dechlorination equipment.

Dechlorination. System Minimum Design Criteria
Adopted April 18, 2003
Introduction
The Triennial Review Committee's move to adopt a fresh water standard for total
residual chlorine (TRC) is driving the implementation of TRC effluent limitations for
facilities that use chlorine or a chlorine derivative for disinfection. Such a limit may
necessitate the use of a dechlorinating agent such as sulfur dioxide or a sulfite
derivative. The relatively simple nature of dechlorination affords the Division the
opportunity to develop a fast -track permitting strategy for approval of such systems.
The minimum design criteria outlined herein are meant to provide the regulated
community and their engineers the information necessary to ensure proper system
design and rapid project turn -around.
Applicability
This criteria document applies to the design of sulfur dioxide and sulfite derivative
systems. Facilities proposing to, employ an alternate means for dechlorination, such as
activated carbon, are required to follow the standard authorization to construct (ATC)
permitting process.
Design Criteria
1.0 Dosage Rates .
The following dosage rates are to. be used for the design of dechlorination systems.
These dosage rates constitute the stoichiometric requirement plus a 10% margin of
safety'. .

We have received the Notice of Violation concerning our BOD reading from March of
this year. Upon receipt of the test results (46.7 mg/1), we immediately began an internal
investigation to determine the possible causes of this unusual reading. We cleaned our water
chiller tower system and reminded our employees of the proper procedure for disposing the
mop water (through the sanitary sewer). Our two tests in April (5.0 and 4.1 mg/1) were well
below the Limit Value (26 mg/1) and results from samples taken by Larry Frost of your
office have proven the results of March are now corrected. If you have further questions,
feel free to contact me.

Subject: Renewal Notice
NPDES Permit NCO023591
Silver Line Plastics
Buncombe County
Dear Permittee:
Your NPDES permit expires on October 31, 2005. 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 May
4, 2005. Failure to request renewal 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 October 31, 2005, 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 be assessed 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 me at the
telephone number or address listed below.
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 me at the telephone number or
e-mail address listed below.
Sincerely,
V

General Statute 143-215.1(a)(6)
and NPDES Permit N00023591
Silver -Line Plastics Corporation
ase No. LV 03 - 316
uncombe County
Dear Mr. Silver:,
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of
$ 350.00 ($ 250.00 civil penalty + $ 100.00 enforcement costs) against Silver -Line Plastics
Corporation.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the
discharge monitoring report (DMR) submitted by Silver -Line Plastics Corporation for the month of
January 2003. This review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge
limitations and/or monitoring requirements found in NPDES Permit NC0023591. The violations,
which occurred in January 2003, are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Silver -Line Plastics
Corporation violated the terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit NCO023591 and
N.C.G.S. 143-215.1(a)(6) in the manner and extent shown in Attachment A. A civil penalty of not
more than twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00), in accordance with the maximums
established by N.C.G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2), may be assessed against a person who violates the
terms, conditions or requirements of a permit required by N.C.G.S. 143-215.1(a).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with
authority provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
and the Director of the Division of Water Quality, I, Forrest R. Westall, Division of Water Quality
Regional Supervisor for the Asheville Region, hereby make the following civil penalty assessment
against Silver -Line Plastics Corporation:

$ 250.00 For 1 -of the 1 violations of G.S. 143-215.1(a)(6) and
NPDES Permit No. NC0023591 by discharging waste into the
waters of the State in violation of permit daily maximum effluent
limits for BOD5 (200 C).
$ 250.00
$ 100.00
TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY
Enforcement costs.
$ 350.00 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE

Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health,
or to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by non-compliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which
the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department, of Environment and
Natural Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the attention
of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
M
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification for
such request:
A request for remission or mitigation is limited to consideration of the reasonableness of
the amount of the penalty and is not the proper procedure for contesting the accuracy of
any of the statements contained in the assessment letter. Because a remission request
forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be accompanied
by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation that there are no
factual or legal issues in dispute. You must execute and return to this office the attached
waiver and stipulation form and a detailed statement, which you believe establishes
whether:

(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 14313-282.1(b) were wrongfully
applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation;
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(d) the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial
actions.
Please submit this information to the attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
Please note that all information presented in support of a request for remission must be
submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Quality will review the information
during a bimonthly enforcement conference and inform you of his decision in the matter of the
remission request. His response will provide details regarding case status, directions for payment
and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's
Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions. Please be advised that the Committee can not consider
information that was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director and
therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of
your request for remission.
3. Submit a written request for an administrative hearing:
If you wish to contest any statement in this assessment letter, you must request an
administrative hearing. This request must be in the form of a written petition to the Office of
Administrative Hearings and must conform to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General
Statutes. You must File your original petition with the
Office of Administrative Hearings
6714 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714
and
Mail or hand -deliver a copy of the petition to
Mr. Dan Oakley, General Counsel
Department of Environment and Natural Resources
1601 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1601

Failure to exercise one of the options above within thirty days, as evidenced by a date
stamp (not a postmark) indicating when we received your response, will result in this matter being
referred to the Attorney General's Office with a request to initiate a civil action to collect the
penalty.
Please be advised that any continuing violation(s) may be the subject of a new
enforcement action, including an additional penalty. If you have any questions about this civil
penalty assessment, please contact Mr. Larry Frost of the Asheville Regional Office at (828) 251-
6208.
