Subject: NPDES Renewal Application
Permit Number NC0004952
Shelby plant
Cleveland County
Dear Permittee:
MAR 9 0 2ou
The NPDES Unit received your permit renewal application on March 3, 2003. Thank you for submitting this
package.
The permit renewal for this facility has been assigned to a staff member This staff member will contact you if further
information is needed to complete the permit renewal. Please note that the NPDES Unit has several vacant
positions. This staff shortage has lasted for over 4 years and 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 NC0004952 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 Charles Weaver at [phone], extension 511
Sincerely,
C:�.�,t-t✓` ��C�-�dr�-tea

CNA Holdings, Inc. — Ticona Facility
Cleveland County
Dear Mrs. Stephens:
Ticona
Shelby Plant
Highway 198
Shelby, NC 28152
Telephone [phone]
This letter is written to request the renewal of the above referenced NPDES permit, per the
requirements of your letter dated January 3, 2003. Also enclosed are the necessary materials for
this permit renewal:
(a) Completed application form , signed and submitted in triplicate
(b) Supporting analysis per the requirements of the renewal process from both
outside contract laboratory and in-house certified laboratory, submitted in
triplicate.
(c) A narrative description of the sludge management plan, submitted in triplicate.
As you and your staff prepare the renewed permit for the facility, there are several items that CNA
Holdings, Inc. — Ticona Facility respectfully requests considering:
- CNA Holdings, Inc — Ticona Facility has revised the submitted water balance diagram to
reflect "first flush" stormwaters and those rainwaters having come in contact with
industrial activities which no longer meeting the definition of stormwater, to be permitted
for treatment through the existing waste water facility. The treatment of these waters
would be the most environmentally sound approach benefiting all parties involved and we
request this to be added to our permit.
It has been historically documented that the polishing ponds being used at the facility
exhibit a large algae bloom, especially during the warm summer months. This is not a
source specific occurrence; it is a natural occurrence in all types of ponds and lagoons
throughout the region. While this is a naturally occurring phenomenon, it also has a
direct impact on the water discharging from the pond. Specifically, the pH of the
discharge stream is elevated. Instead of artificially controlling the discharge pH through
the introduction of additional chemicals, the current permit contains a clause allowing pH
measurements for Outfall 001 to be made between the final clarifiers and the final
finishing pond (Section A. (1) Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements: Note 4).
This is a clause that allows Ticona to continue to operate in a manner consistent with the
most environmentally sound management systems, while minimizing the interference

with the natural life cycles of the surrounding areas. This is a condition that benefits all
parties involved, and should be retained in the permit renewal.
An additional effect of this alga growth is the additional Total Suspended Solids (TSS)
loading. Although Ticona believes that the natural biological processes occurring in the
polishing ponds should not be inhibited, we do realize during the summer months it
maybe necessary to use a biocide in conjunction with the tertiary filtration system in order
to meet the established TSS levels of the existing permit. In addition, Ticona will
continue to operate all cooling tower water with biocides. All cooling tower water is
combined with, and treated in the same manner as all other waters collected for
discharge through Outfall 001.
Ticona has quantified which wastewater streams are subject to the categorical standards
for Organic Chemicals, Plastics, and Synthetic Fibers (OCPSF) Subparts. Based upon
the water balance diagram submitted with this permit renewal package, the streams
subject to the OCPSF regulations with respect to manufacturing processes are
delineated as follows:

We appreciate your time and cooperation in working with us so that we may develop a permit that
accomplishes the needs and goals of both the Division of Water Quality and our facility. Should
you have any questions pertaining to the any material contained in this permit renewal
application, please do not hesitate to contact me at 704/480-4900 or by e-mail,

Note 1: The tertiary filters are used intermittently to control suspended solids due to algae growth
in the polishing ponds during the summer months. An algicide (Earthtec) is used on an as
needed basis to control algae growth when excessive algae solids overload the tertiary
filters requiring excessive backwashing.
Note 2: UV system is not used.
Note 3: Several process wastewater streams are subject to the requirements of 40 CFR 414
Standards for Organic Chemicals, Plastics and Synthetic Fibers (OCPSF), specifically,
Subpart C - Other Fibers (SIC Code 2824) and Subpart D - Thermoplastic Resins (SIC
Code 2821). These process discharges apply to the OCPSF regulations as follows:

Dear Ken:

As you requested, attached is a hard copy version of the document entitled: "Talking
Points —Proposed Modifications to Ground -Water Treatment System —Celanese Fiber Operations
Site —Shelby, North Carolina" dated August 2003. I've also provided to you via email, a pdf
version of this same document.
The purpose for preparing the Talking Points is to provide both the EPA and the DENR with
sufficient information for a conceptual understanding of current conditions and proposed
modifications to the existing ground -water treatment system. It's not intended to be an exhaustive
presentation of issues at this point but one that will allow further discussion as to the appropriate
mechanism for effectuating this change at the Shelby facility.
Please give me a call after you've had a chance to review this information so that we can discuss
the next steps in the process. I would suggest we try and schedule a conference call with yourself,
DENR and Celanese representatives at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely,
// Via email //

Talking Points —Proposed Modification to Ground -Water Treatment
System —Celanese Fiber Operations Site —Shelby, North Carolina
Background
Ticona, an operating subsidiary of Celanese, owns and operates a polyester and
engineering plastics production facility in Shelby, North Carolina. CNA Holdings, Inc.
(CNA), also a subsidiary of Celanese, retains management of environmental matters for .
the corporation
Operations at the site began in 1960 by Fiber Industries, Inc. (FII). Celanese
Corporation bought the facility from FII in 1983, renaming it Celanese Fiber Operations
(CFO). The site has alternately been known as HNA Holdings, Inc., Hoechst Celanese
Corporation and Celanese Fiber Operations, the latter being the site name as listed on the
NPL.
CNA currently operates a long term remedial action (LTRA) system at the CFO site,
designated as Operable Unit 1 (OU-1) in the Record of Decision (ROD), which consists
of two ground -water extraction and treatment systems identified as the Inner Tier and
Outer Tier systems. OU-1 became operational in August 1989. A second operable unit,
OU-2, consisted of excavation, incineration, stabilization and reburial of treated sludge
and other waste materials.
Current Ground -Water Treatment System
On April 21, 1998, OU-2 and the Outer Tier portion of OU-1 were shut down as part
of a partial delisting petition approved by the EPA effective April 17, 1998. Currently,
active ground -water recovery and treatment is only taking place at the Inner Tier, which
was designed to extract contaminated ground water from around a former source area
remediated as part of OU-2. A process flow diagram showing the current ground -water
treatment system is summarized on Attachment A.
Recovered Inner Tier ground water is treated biologically in a sequencing batch
reactor (SBR) which is capable of processing approximately 2500 gallons of water per
day (gpd). The Inner Tier is currently not capable of sustaining this flow rate due to a
combination of the physical make-up and geochemistry of the aquifer and biofouling of
the well screens. Therefore, even though the Outer Tier is not actively recovering ground
water, Outer Tier well OT-lR is still pumped to provide make-up water for the ground-
water treatment system and for process water used for back -flushing filters.
The remainder of the Outer Tier system is being maintained in "stand-by status" as part
of the delisting agreement and can be brought on line within a relatively short period of
time if it is found necessary to provide hydraulic control along the property boundary.
The Outer Tier wells and treatment system's functionality is assured by performing
routine monthly and quarterly system checks such as energizing the well pumps, transfer
Ticona/Shelby-Talking Points 1 August 2003

pumps and blowers, verifying heater operation, etc. and performing maintenance
activities as required by the routine system checks.
Water extracted from the Inner Tier, including make-up water as required from the
Outer Tier, is first routed to an equalization tank. At this point the pH is adjusted and
coagulant added to facilitate iron removal. Sludge generated during the iron removal
stage and from the SBR are routed to a filter press where they are dewatered into a cake,
tested annually for the full TCLP list of constituents and subsequently disposed of off -site
as a non -hazardous waste.
Following treatment in the SBR, the treated ground water is routed through an air
stripper followed by carbon adsorption. At this point, the treated ground water is routed
to the existing industrial wastewater system where it enters a series of polishing ponds
and ultimately discharges through the plant's NPDES Outfall 001, continuing on to
Buffalo Creek.
-Ticona is currently permitted to discharge up to a monthly average of 800,000 gpd of
treated wastewater through Outfall 001. Representative flows used for the recent permit
renewal are 450,000 gpd as dry weather flow and between 600,000 and 750,000 gpd as
wet weather flow. An input of 2500 gpd from the ground -water treatment system
amounts to slightly more than one half of one percent of the dry weather flow.
Proposed Modifications to Ground -Water Treatment System
The proposed modifications would be to discontinue use of the Inner Tier treatment
system as presented on Attachment A and route the Inner Tier water to the headworks of
the plant's industrial wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). The Outer Tier system would
be maintained in standby in accordance with the Partial Delisting Agreement. A process
flow diagram of the system after the proposed changes is shown on Attachment B.
The source of the ground -water impact being addressed is the former disposal of plant
process wastes. This has impacted ground water with generally the same suite of
chemicals that are currently processed in the WWTP. Thus, the existing treatment plant
should be able to satisfactorily treat the recovered ground water and a preliminary
evaluation was performed to estimate the treatment that would be received by a combined
wastewater stream consisting of the industrial wastewater and the extracted ground water
(Attachment Q.
The analysis was based on a "projected" wastewater stream constructed by combining
the loadings from the industrial wastewater and the extracted ground water using the
most recent data available (January 2003 thru April 2003). The analysis presented in
Attachment C demonstrates the viability of redirecting the small stream of extracted
ground water from the ground -water treatment unit to the head of the plant's industrial
wastewater treatment plant for treatment. It is our opinion that this modification can be
made without adversely affecting compliance with the NPDES permit.
Ticona/Shelby-Talking Points 2 August 2003

The physical changes needed to divert the combined Inner Tier influent would be to
repipe the collection header to the headworks of the WWTP. If needed, a small booster
pump station would be added to provide the needed lift to the WWTP. The preliminary
evaluation suggests that this will not be needed. In this scenario, the Outer Tier well(s)
that are currently being pumped for make-up water for the Inner Tier treatment system
would be idled, and the entire ground -water treatment system would be taken off line and
placed in a stand-by mode in the event that it was needed in the future.
Preliminary discussions have been held with state water quality personnel to identify
actions needed to address NPDES issues, and it appears that it would be a simple process
to make the change from their perspective. They would need to see some data
(Attachment C) to assure themselves that the change would not result in NPDES
violations, but a permit modification would not be needed. Additionally, an Authorization
to Construct (ATC) would not be needed for a simple piping change.

Ticona Combined Effluent Evaluation
As a preliminary evaluation of the viability of incorporating the inner tier groundwater into the plant's
industrial wastewater treatment plant, an evaluation was performed to estimate the treatment that would
be received by a combined wastewater stream consisting of the industrial wastewater and the extracted
groundwater. As a basis for this evaluation, relevant data on the two wastewater streams from the period
of January 2003 through April 2003 were reviewed. This timeframe was selected since it represented the
most recently available data. The analysis was based on a "projected" wastewater stream constructed by
combining the loadings from the industrial wastewater and the extracted groundwater during the period of
January 2003 and April 2003. The data are summarized in the following table.

— The data on the effluent includes the impacts of discharge of the treated groundwater into the wastewater
polishing ponds after aerobic biological treatment of the groundwater.
— The values represent the minimum, maximum, etc. of the daily values for type of information, and are not
directly additive across the rows.
The plant routinely measures BOD5 and COD on the effluent, and COD on the influent. The control
parameter in the plant's NPDES permit is BOD5. In order to estimate the impacts of adding the
groundwater stream to the wastewater stream at the head of the wastewater treatment plant, the data were
evaluated to estimate the overall removal efficiency of the treatment plant, and a relationship between
BOD5 and COD. The overall efficiency was calculated by comparing the influent COD (lb/day) of the
plant's industrial wastewater and the effluent COD (lb/day) of the entire flow that discharges through the
NPDES effluent point. This simplified approach does not account for the residency time of the
wastewater in the system, or the effects of precipitation and storm water on the open wastewater basins;
however, when calculating an average efficiency over approximately 4 months of daily data, it is
expected to give an approximate estimate of the efficiency of the overall wastewater system. This
analysis estimated that the average COD removal efficiency of the treatment system was 92.83%.
Since the control parameter for the NPDES permit is BOD5, the BOD5 and COD data were compared to
determine whether there was a predictable correlation between the two parameters. Comparison of the
Att C/Ticona/Shelby-Talking Points 1 August 2003

Attachment C.
Ticona Combined Effluent Evaluation
data showed appreciable scatter. The BOD5:COD ratio ranged from 0.0472 to 0.2468 with an average
value of 0.1061 and a median value of 0.1. As part of this evaluation, the BOD5:COD ratios were plotted
against the COD to see whether the ratio was a function of COD. This evaluation also resulted in
appreciable data scatter with the best -fit line showing a slightly decreasing trend at higher COD values.
However, this trend was not considered significant enough to warrant using different ratios for different
COD ranges. As a result of the scatter in the data, use of some standard deviation around the mean was
selected as a conservative approach for estimating the BOD5:COD ratio that would be used for predicting
the impact of adding the groundwater to the head of the wastewater treatment plant. For this analysis, a
value representing the mean plus two standard deviations was selected. This resulted in a BOD5:COD
ratio of 0.1796 being used for analysis of the combined wastewater stream.
The plant's NPDES permit (NC0004952) contains discharge limits for BOD5 of 83 lbs/day as a monthly
average, or 203 lbs/day for a daily maximum. Using a BOD5:COD ratio of 0.1796, this establishes an
allowable COD of 462 lbs/day for a monthly average or 1130 lbs/day for a daily maximum to remain in
compliance with the permit. As shown in the following table, the predicted COD levels are below the
allowable levels to maintain permit compliance applying a conservative conversion factor based on a
value two standard deviations above the mean of the measured data.

February 4, 2000 and in conformity with the project plan, specifications, and other supporting data subsequently
filed and approved by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and considered a part of this permit.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until July 31, 2005, shall void Permit No.
WQ0011038 issued October 31, 1996, and shall be subject to the following specified conditions and limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
The Mooresville Regional Office, telephone number [phone], and the appropriate local
governmental official (county manager/city manager) shall be notified at least twenty-four (24) hours
prior to the initial application of the residuals to a site so that an inspection can be made of the
application sites and application method. Such notification to the regional supervisor shall be made
during the normal office hours from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday, excluding
State Holidays. In addition, the Cleveland County Manager's office must be notified prior to the initial
application so that they will be aware that the operation has commenced.
2. This permit shall become voidable if the soils fail to adequately assimilate the wastes and may be
rescinded unless the sites are maintained and operated in a manner which will protect the assigned
water quality standards of the surface waters and ground waters.
The land application program shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non -discharge system to
prevent the discharge of any wastes resulting from the operation of this program.
4. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for damages to surface
or groundwaters resulting from the operation of this program.

5. In the event that the land application program is not operated satisfactorily, including the creation of
nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall cease applying residuals to the sites and take any immediate
corrective actions as may be required by the Division of Water Quality (Division).
6. Some of the buffers specified below may not have been included in previous permits for this land
application operation. However, any sites or fields that are included in this permit, but were approved
with different applicable buffers shall be reflagged to comply with the below buffers. The following
buffer zones shall be maintained:
a) 400 feet from residences or places of public assembly under separate ownership for surface
application method; however, the buffer zone requirement may be reduced to a minimum of 100
feet upon written consent of the owner and approval from the appropriate regional office,
b) 200 feet from residences or places of public assembly under separate ownership for subsurface
residual injection method; however, the buffer zone requirement may be reduced to a minimum of
100 feet upon written consent of the owner and the appropriate regional office,

i) 25 feet from downslope interceptor drains, surface water diversions, groundwater drainage systems
and surface drainage ditches for both application methods.
7. A copy of this permit shall be maintained at the land application site when residuals are being applied
during the life of this permit. A spill prevention and control plan shall be maintained in allresiduals
transport and application vehicles.
-' 8. Specific residual application area boundaries shall be clearly marked on each site prior to and during
application.
9. No residuals at any time shall be stored at any application site, unless approval has been requested and
obtained from the Division.
10. Maximum slope for residual application shall be 10% for surface application and 18% for subsurface
applications.
II. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
The facilities and application sites shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.
A suitable vegetative cover, as listed in condition II 4, shall be maintained in accordance with the crop
management plan outlined by the local Extension Office, the Department of Agriculture, the Natural
Resource Conservation Service, or other agronomist, and approved by this Division.
An acceptable pH must be maintained in the soil, residual and lime mixture, greater than 6.0, on all
land application sites to insure optimum yield for the crop(s) specified below. The agronomist shall
provide information on the pH best suited for the specified crop and the soil type.

The application rates shall not exceed the following for the specified crops:
Crop PAN (Ib./acre/yr) Crop PAN (lb./acre/yr.)
Alfalfa
Bermuda Grass (Hay, Pasture)

200 Sorghum, Sudex (Silage) 220
70 Soybeans y 200
250 Timothy, Orchard, & Rye Grass 200
If the approved land application sites are to be double cropped (i.e., a crop in the spring and a second
crop in the fall, with BOTH crops to receive wastewater residuals), then the second crop shall receive
an application of nutrients at a rate of no greater than 50 Ibs/acre/yr. This practice will be allowed as
Iona as the second crop is to be harvested. If the second crop is to be planted for erosion control only,
and is to be tilled into the soil, then no wastewater residuals shall be applied to these fields because the
nitrogen will essentially be returned to the soil.

site use and for the 12-month period following the last residual application event. Such controls may
include the posting of signs indicating the activities being conducted at each site.

12. Adequate provisions shall be taken to prevent wind erosion and surface runoff from conveying
pollutants from the residuals application area onto the adjacent property or into any surface waters.
13. Residuals shall not be applied in inclement weather or until 24 hours following a rainfall event of 1/2-
inch or greater in 24 hours. Any emergency residuals disposal measures must first be approved by the
Division.

Subject: NPDES Permit Issuance

Permit Number NC0004952
Cleveland County
In accordance with the application for discharge permit received on July 1, 1997, the Division
is 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 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated December 6, 1983.
The attached final NPDES permit has been modified to include the following changes:
• All references to Hoechst Celanese Corporation have been changed to HNA Holdings,
Inc.
• The pollutant analysis condition, formally an annual requirement, is now required once
during each permit cycle. Future pollutant analyses should accompany the permit renewal
application.
• Allocations for BOD5 and TSS have been revised using the three and half year average
flow as required by volume 58, number 130 of the Federal Register. Previous allocations
were not calculated using this average flow and may vary from renewal -to -renewal.
• The instream waste concentration at which chronic toxicity is evaluated has been revised
to 5.8%. The previous value, 6.5%, was apparently a calculation error.
• Effluent limitations and monitoring requirements for outfall 002 have been deleted as
this Nvastestream is now being recycled.
• Special Condition G of the existing permit has been deleted as all waste streams
containing biocides are subject to chronic toxicity testing.
•. The monitoring frequency for Subpart I parameters has been changed from quarterly to
annually, with the exception of total copper. -
• Special Condition H of the existing permit has been deleted.
In the application for permit renewal, HNA requested that the effluent for TSS be defined in
a manner similar to the current definition for pH effluent. Due to the applicability of federal
guidelines for TSS, effluent shall remain defined as downstream of ALL treatment units and or
polishing ponds.

SUPPLEMENT TO EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS
AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
SPECIAL CONDITIONS
A. (3) QUARTERLY PASS/FAIL CHRONIC TOXICITY TESTING - OUTFALL 001
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in the
"North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised November 1995, or
subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or
significant mortality is 5.8% (defined as treatment two in the procedure document). The permit
holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance with the permit
condition. The tests will be performed during the months of March, June, September and December.
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, DWQ Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Water Quality
4401 Reedy Creek Rd.
Raleigh, N.C. 27607
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
Orequired, 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.

Permit No. NC0004952
SUPPLEMENT TO EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS
AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
SPECIAL CONDITIONS (Continued)
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement 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, minimum control organism reproduction, 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.
A. (4) POLLUTANT ANALYSIS CONDITION
The Permittee shall conduct a test for pollutants once every five years at the effluent from the
treatment plant. The discharge shall be evaluated as follows:
1) A pollutant analysis of the effluent must be completed once every five years 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 PCBs;
(e) herbicides; and
(f) metals and other inorganics.
The Pollutant Analysis Monitoring (PAM) Requirement Reporting Form A and accompanying
memo, 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.
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 the purgeable, base/neutral extractable, and acid extractable fractions (or fewer than 10, if
less than 10 unidentified peaks occur) for chemicals other than those specified on the PA
Requirement Reporting Form A should be identified and approximately quantified as stated in
the PAM Reporting Form A instructions. This part (item 2) of the PAM requirement is to be
referred to as the 10 significant- peaks rule."

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/Dav 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 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 disch_ arge. It is identified as "d'aily
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 1 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, (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
caIIandar 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. Tvpesr of Samples
a. C=posite 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 tthe 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
tirr4es its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows.

SECTION C. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF POLLUTION CONTROLS
1. Certified Operator
Pursuant to Chapter 90A-44 of North Carolina General Statutes, and upon classification of the
facility by the Certification Commission, the permittee shall employ a certified wastewater
treatment plant operator in responsible charge (ORC) of the wastewater treatment facilities. Such
operator must hold a certification of the grade equivalent to or greater than the classification
assigned to the wastewater treatment facilities by the Certification Commission. The permittee
must also employ a certified back-up operator of the appropriate type and any grade to comply
with the conditions of Title 15A, Chapter 8A .0202. The ORC of the facility must visit each Class 1
facility at least weekly and each Class II, III, and IV facility at least daily, excluding weekends

Part II
Page 8 of 14
3. Need to Halt or Reduce not a Defense -
It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary
to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the condition of this
permit.
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
evaluation of the anticipated quality and affect of the bypass.
(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
(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.

Part II
Page 9 of 14
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, inadequate treatment
fa6lities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation.
b_ Effect of an upseet.
An upset consotutes 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 Dermittee 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 II, B. 2. of this
permit.
d- Burden of proof_
In any enforcement proceeding the permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an upset has
the burden of proof.
6. Removed Substanc-s
Solids, sludges, filter backwash, or other pollutants removed in the course of treatment or control of
wastewaters shall tie 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.
7. Power Failures
The permittee is responsible for maintaining adequate safeguards as required by DEM Regulation,
Title 15A, North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2H, .0124 Reliability, to prevent the
discharge of untreated or inadequately treated wastes during electrical power failures either by
means of alternate power sources, standby generators or retention of inadequately treated effluent.

Dear Mr. Groves:
The Division has completed its draft of the NPDES permit for the above referenced facility.
Several modifications are present in this draft and are listed below:
• All references to Hoechst Celanese Corporation have been changed to HNA Holdings,
Inc.
• The pollutant analysis condition, formally an annual requirement, is now required once
during each permit cycle. Future pollutant analyses should accompany the permit renewal
application.
• Allocations for BOD5 and TSS have been revised using the three and half year average
flow as required by volume 58, number 130 of the Federal Register. Previous allocations
were not calculated using this average flow and may vary from renewal -to -renewal.
• The instream waste concentration at which chronic toxicity is evaluated has been revised
to 5.8%. The previous value, 6.5%, was apparently a calculation error.
• Effluent limitations and monitoring requirements for outfall 002 have been deleted as
this wastestream is now being recycled.
• Special Condition G of the existing permit has been deleted as all waste streams
containing biocides are subject to chronic toxicity testing.
• The monitoring frequency for Subpart I parameters has been changed from quarterly to
annually, with the exception of total copper.
• Special Condition H of the existing permit has been deleted.
In the application for permit renewal, HNA requested that the effluent for TSS be defined in
a manner similar to the current definition for pH effluent. Due to the applicability of federal
guidelines for TSS, effluent shall remain defined as downstream of ALL treatment units and or
polishing ponds.
The Division's intent to reissue the NPDES permit for this facility will be published for public
comment on or about January 27, 1999. Under cover of this letter is a copy of said draft. A copy of
the draft permit will also be forwarded to the Environmental Protection Agency and all interested
parties by February 3, 1999. Pending no significant comment, this permit will be issued on March
15, 1999 with an effective date of April 1, 1999.

Summary
HNA Holdings, Inc. formerly known as Hoechst Celanese Corporation, has applied for a renewal of
the NPDES permit for its Shelby facility. The facility manufactures thermoplastic resins and then
extrudes a portion of those resins into synthetic fibers. As such, 40 CFR 414.50 and 414.40
(OCPSF federal guidelines) are applicable.
The facility is currently permitted to discharge 0.8 MGD of commingled wastewater through outfall
001 and 0.1 MGD of industrial process wastewater through outfall 002. Outfall 002 was previously
permitted (incorrectly) as non -contact cooling water. A sight investigation by the author has revealed
that outfall 002 is actually contact cooling water and therefore subject to federal OCPSF guidelines.
Since this discovery, however, HNA has opted to reuse all wastewaters previously discharged through
outfall 002. Therefore, with this permit renewal, outfall 002 will cease to exist. Outfall 001
discharges various types of wastewater including domestic, industrial process, remediated
groundwater, cooler tower blowdown, process make-up water and clarifier blowdown. Approximately
417,500 gpd of process wastewater are discharged through outfall 001. Of that portion, 56% is
subject to 414.50 while the remaining 64% is subject to 414.40. Included in that process
wastewater are flows from the groundwater remediation and cooling tower make-up water. The
groundwater remediation is a direct result of resin manufacturing and the past burying of ethylene
glycol on -site. Condensate from the manufacturing process is commingled with cooling water and
sent through the cooling towers. These towers act as wet scrubbers to assist in the removal of
pollutants from the condensate.

Proposed Chanties
• Permittee name: Per permittee request, the owner name of this facility has been
changed from Hoechst Celanese Corporation to HNA Holdings, Incorporated.
• APAMRequirement: The pollutant analysis condition has been modified to reflect a
change in NC policy. The pollutant analysis is now required once every five years with the permit
renewal package. ,
• BODs and TSS allocations: Allocations for BODS and TSS were previously based on the design
flow of 550,000 gpd. These allocations have been revised using the past 5.5 years worth of daily
flow data to compute an average. Allocations were computed in accordance with the attached
spreadsheet.
• Deletion of outfall 002. Outfall 002 has been removed from this permit as it is now being
reused. As stated earlier, it was discovered during a site investigation that 002 was actually
discharging contact cooling water. In lieu of extensive OCPSF monitoring requirements, the
facility opted to institute a reuse plan.
• Biocide Condition: The biocide condition, formerly condition C, has been deleted.
This condition is not necessary as the waste streams containing biocides are subject to chronic
toxicity testing at outfall 001.
• Subpart I Monitoring: Subpart I requirements have been updated on page A (2) of the
draft permit. These parameters have changed slightly since the permit was issued last.
Additionally, the monitoring frequency for Subpart I requirements has been changed from
quarterly to annually due to continued non -detection of these parameters. Total copper, the only
parameter detected, has been installed on the effluent page with a monthly monitoring frequency.
• Special Condition A(5): This condition has been deleted. In previous permits, this
condition required the facility to submit groundwater monitoring reports with DMRs during those
months that remediated groundwater is discharged to the waste treatment facility. Submittal of
these groundwater reports is not necessary as the groundwater contamination is a direct result of
manufacturing on -site and is covered by the monitoring requirements for outfall 001.
Toxicity:
Type of Toxicity Test: Chronic P/F
Existing Limit: 001: Chronic P/F @ 6.5%
Recommended Limit: 001: Chronic P/F @ 5.8%
Monitoring Schedule: March, June, September, December
The previous instream waste concentration of 6.5% was apparently an error. The correct value is
5.8%. This facility has been in compliance with its toxicity testing requirement for at least the past 4
years.
Metals:
Total copper monitoring has been installed on the effluent page in light of the fact that it has been
detected at significant concentrations during subpart I monitoring.
Instream Monitoring:
There are no instream monitoring requirements. This facility is effluent limited.
Proposed Schedule for Permit Issuance:
Draft Permit to Public Notice: January 27, 1999

Average Flow from 1/95 - 9/98: 0.48949 MGD
Information provided by HNA with this permit renewal indicates that outfall 001 is designed to discharge
550.000 gpd. Of that 550,000 gpd, approximately 76% is process wastewater on anygiven day.
Applying this 76% to the average flow computed above yields an actual average process flow for the
investigation period of: 0.572012 NIGD.
Actual average process flow: 0.57201 MGD
The process wastewater flow at this facility is split between two 40 CFR 414 subparts, subparts C and D.

SUPPLEMENT TO EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS
AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
SPECIAL CONDITIONS
A. (3) QUARTERLY PASS/FAIL CHRONIC TOXICITY TESTING: - OUTFALL 001
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in the
"North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised November 1995, or
subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or
significant mortality is 5.8% (defined as treatment two in the procedure document). The permit
holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance with the permit
condition. The tests will be performed during the months of March, June, September and December.
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 TCPSB. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Water Quality
4401 Reedy Creek Rd.
Raleigh, N.C. 27607
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
Orequired, 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.

Permit No. NC0004952
SUPPLEMENT TO EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS
AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
SPECIAL CONDITIONS (Continued)
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement 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, minimum control organism reproduction, 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.
A. (4) POLLUTANT ANALYSIS CONDITION
The Permittee shall conduct a test for pollutants once every five years at the effluent from the
treatment plant. The discharge shall be evaluated as follows:
1) A pollutant analysis of the effluent must be completed once every five years 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 PCBs;
(e) herbicides; and
(f) metals and other inorganics.
The Pollutant Analysis Monitoring (PAM) Requirement Reporting Form A and accompanying
memo, 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.
2) Other significant levels of synthetic organic chemicals must be identified and approximately
quantified. For the purpose of implementing this requirement, the largest 10 CSC/MS peaks
in the purgeable, base/neutral extractable, and acid extractable fractions (or fewer than 10, if
less than 10 unidentified peaks occur) for chemicals other than those specified on the PA
Requirement Reporting Form A should be identified and approximately quantified as stated in
the PAM Reporting Form A instructions. This part (item 2) of the PAM requirement is to be
referred to as the "10 significant peaks rule."

NPDES Permit No. NC0004952
CNA Holdings, Inc.
Cleveland County
Dear Mr. McMurray:
The Division of Water Quality's NPDES Unit has reviewed your request for an Authorization to
Construct at the Ticona Shelby facility. The Division finds the proposed improvements to be
satisfactory and hereby grants authorization for the following:
• Installation of tertiary pressure filters (Yardney Water Management System Model MM-
4860-6A)
• Installation of UV disinfection (Trojan Model Number UV02M15)
This Authorization to Construct is issued in accordance with NPDES Permit No. NC0004952 ,
issued March 29, 1999, and shall be subject to revocation unless the wastewater treatment facilities
are constructed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the permit.
In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance
conditions, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including those as may be required
by this Division, such as the construction of additional or replacement wastewater treatment or
disposal facilities.
The Permittee shall notify the Water Quality Supervisor of the Mooresville Regional Office,
telephone number [phone], at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to operation of the installed
facilities, so that an in -place inspection can be made. Notification shall be made during the normal
office hours of 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Recommendations
The Division recognizes that the installation of these treatment units is a voluntary measure being
implemented to provide Ticona with the ability to temporarily remove the polishing ponds from
service for maintenance. The Division commends Ticona on this initiative and issues this
Authorization to Construct with the following recommendations. Please be advised that this
Authorization to Construct is issued contingent upon continued operation of the polishing ponds.
While the proposed tertiary filters are not essential for compliance, the Division recommends that
they be sized according to common standards. The filter design is for a maximum monthly flow of
0.648 MGD. The standard practice would be to use design maximum month flow rate of 0.8 MGD
(permitted flow rate). Additionally, the hydraulic loading rate is 5.95 gpm/ft2 at the designed flow
rate of 0.648 MGD. Standard practice is that hydraulic loading rate not exceed 5.0 gpm/ft2 based on
design peak hourly flow rate, calculated with one unit out of service (Recommended Standards for
Wastewater Facilities, 1997). The appropriate peaking factor can be determined from plant flow
records or based on good engineering practice.
Engineer's Certification
Upon completion of construction and prior to operation of the modified facility, the Permittee shall
provide the Division with a certification (copy enclosed) from a professional engineer registered in
North Carolina certifying that the permitted facility has been installed in accordance with the NPDES
Permit, this Authorization to Construct, and the approved plans and specifications. The Certification
should be submitted to: NCDENR / DWQ, NPDES Unit, 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North
Carolina 27699-1617.
Requirements for Certified Operator
The Permittee shall employ a certified wastewater treatment plant operator to be in responsible
charge (ORC) of the wastewater treatment facilities. The operator must hold a certificate of the type
and grade at least equivalent to or greater than the classification assigned to the wastewater treatment
facilities by the Certification Commission. The Permittee must also employ a certified back-up
operator of the appropriate type and grade to comply with the conditions of Title 15A, Chapter 8G,
.0200. The ORC of the facility must visit each Class I facility at least weekly and each Class II, III,
and IV facility at least daily, excluding weekends and holidays; and must properly manage and
document daily operation and maintenance of the facility and comply with all other conditions of
Title 15A, Chapter 8G, .0200.
Additional Requirements
The Operational Agreement between the Permittee and the Environmental Management Commission
is incorporated herein by reference and is a condition of this Permit. Noncompliance with the terms
of the Operational Agreement shall subject the Permittee to all sanctions provided by G. S. 143-
215.6 for violation of or failure to act in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Permit.
Failure to abide by the requirements contained in this Authorization to Construct may subject the
Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division of Water Quality in accordance with North
Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A to 143-215.6C.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Hoechst Celanese has applied to renew its NPDES Permit for its Shelby Plant. During the
site review several issues arose which need to be resolved including the issues brought forward by
Hoechst Celanese.
Currently, the discharge from outfall 002 consists of contact cooling water. It appears from
earlier inspections and reports that this water was assumed to be non -contact cooling water.
However, because it is contact cooling water additional monitoring and limitations should be
required. The contact cooling water is used to cool extruded polymer fibers. It is likely that this
water contains polymer constituents as well as actual pieces of polymer fibers. It is recommended
that this process water be either discharged to the head of the treatment works, be monitored
separately, or be combined with effluent from outfall 001 prior to testing.
During the past year, Hoechst Celanese has had three monthly average limitations violations
for TSS and one monthly average and three daily maximum limitations violations for BOD. The
Company attributes these violations to algal blooms in the polishing ponds. The company has
requested that it be allowed to sample at the clarifier discharge because the violations. However, this
Office is opposed to allowing monitoring at the clarifier discharge because the discharge at outfall
001 would still contain TSS and BOD in excess of the permitted limitations. It is also important to
note that the groundwater remediation facilities discharge into polishing pond "A" which is after the
final clarifiers. Also, the Company already is discharging on a pounds per day basis as opposed to
a concentration basis. Mass based limitations are usually much easier to achieve than concentration
based limitations. It is recommended that the permit limitations be reviewed based on process flow
data only (i.e. no non -contact cooling water, etc.) to ensure that the correct pounds per day
limitations are allocated.
It is recommended that the current pH testing methods, which allow effluent at outfall 001
to exceed a pH of 9.0 as long as the clarifier effluent had a pH less than 9.0, 30 days prior, be
eliminated. The writer is not aware of any other WWTP that has this condition. Also, the
groundwater remediation facilities discharge into polishing pond "A" which is after the final
clarifiers.
Page 4

The Company also requested that permit condition Part III, G., be removed from the permit
because it is redundant with the toxicity testing requirements. This Office does not understand how
preparing a biocide worksheet is creating redundancies with the toxicity testing. The worksheet
could easily be prepared on a spread sheet program and the map should always be the same. It is not
clear how this activity would be very burdensome.
The Company has also requested that certain aspects of monitoring for organics be reduced
as described in the cover letter of the renewal application. The writer spoke with Chet Whiting of
the Laboratory Certification Group, who indicated that the testing looks like a combination of EPA
test methods Nos. 624 and 625. Mr. Whiting indicated that any certified laboratory would have to
run a complete analysis and could not be certified to run individual parameters. Therefore, since the
laboratory would have to run the entire analysis, it does not seem to be overly burdensome to report
the results. Therefore, there does appear to be sufficient reason to grant this request.
The Company has had some BOD and TSS violations; however, no decision has been made
regarding enforcement. Nevertheless, it is unlikely that this situation would affect the renewal
process. Therefore, this Office recommends renewing the permit, but, before the permit is drafted
the issues regarding pH sampling, the contact cooling water from outfall 002, and the process
wastewater flow -based BOD and TSS limitations should be resolved.

This letter is written to request the renewal of the above referenced NPDES permit, per the
requirements of your letter dated May 27, 1997. Also enclosed are the necessary materials
for this permit renewal:
(a) The completed application form, signed and submitted in triplicate;
(b) A processing fee of $250, in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0105(b);
(c) Priority Pollutant Analysis per the requirements of 40 CFR 122;
(d) A narrative description of the sludge management plan for the facility (Please see
Appendix B of this renewal package).
As you and your staff prepare the renewed permit for the facility, there are several items that
Hoechst Celanese respectfully requests considering:
(1) It has been historically documented that the polishing ponds being used at the
facility exhibit a large algae bloom, especially during the warm summer months.
This is not a source specific occurrence; it is a natural occurrence in all types of
ponds and lagoons throughout the region. While this is a naturally occurring
phenomenon, it also has a direct impact on the water discharging from the pond.
Specifically, the pH of the discharge stream is elevated. Instead of artificially
controlling the discharge pH through the introduction of additional chemicals, the
current permit contains a clause allowing pH measurements for Outfall 001 to be
made between the final clarifiers and the final finishing pond (SECTION A. ().
EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS FINAL - Page Two). This
is a clause that allows Hoechst Celanese to continue to operate in a manner
consistent with the most environmentally sound management systems, while
minimizing the interference with the natural life cycles of the surrounding areas.
This is a condition that benefits all parties involved, and should be retained in the
permit renewal.
ISO-9002
Hoechst 13
CERRFr_4rM FIRM

(2) An additional effect of this algae growth is the additional Total Suspended Solids
(TSS) loadings that have been witnessed at the outfall during the summer months.
This is an effect that has been both recognized and documented in Standard
Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater -19fh Edition. According to
the procedures contained in Standard Methods, there is a direct correlation
between the chlorophyll, a content in the water and the amount of solids contained
in the discharge (page 10-25 [Appendix A]). Chlorophyll a tests conducted on the
Shelby plant discharge during May and June of 1997 indicate that as much as 75
percent of the TSS levels can be attributed to algae growth. While this additional
solids loading has not ,affected the facility's ability to meet the daily maximum
limitation, it has at times presented a problem meeting the more stringent monthly
average limitation. Other data linking the pond's TSS concentrations to the
natural algae growth are contained in Appendix A of this renewal package.
Hoechst Celanese Corporation underscores its belief that the natural biological
processes occurring in the polishing ponds should not be inhibited. However, the
facility also realizes that allowing these natural processes to occur can, and has,
caused the facility at times, during the summer months, to be in violation of the
permitted monthly average TSS limits. Hoechst Celanese proposes instead that a
condition be established pertaining to TSS levels that would allow for these
natural processes to continue without artificial interferences. Specifically, the
permit condition for the monthly average TSS should mirror the language already
established in the permit for the management and control of pH:
The effluent monthly average TSS of the wastewater is defined and
limited at a point between the final clarifiers and the final polishing
pond, such a point being after the combination of all potential
influents to the polishing pond, and shall not be more than 152.8
pounds per day (current monthly average limit). If the monthly
average TSS concentration of the effluents from the polishing
ponds exceeds 1152.8 pounds per day, there will be no effluent
violation if the wastewater TSS monthly average from the final
clarifier has not ,exceeded 152.8 pounds per day during the thirty
(30) days preceding the measurements of the monthly average
TSS above 152.8 pounds per day of the effluent from the polishing
ponds.
(3) SECTION E. CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY), Item G. Biocide
Condition, states that the facility must notify the Department in writing no fewer
than 90 days prior to the introduction of any biocide into the cooling water stream.
All cooling tower water is combined with, and treated in the same mariner as all
other waters collected for discharge through Outfall 001. As such, the cooling
system water is subject to the effluent aquatic toxicity testing as required by the
permit for Outfall 001 discharge. Because of this testing, the requirements of Item
G seem redundant and overly burdensome, and we request that future permits
eliminate this unnecessary condition.
2

(4) Inspection of the parameters required to be monitored by the facility show that all
compounds required for the Organic 'Chemicals, Plastics, and Synthetic Fibers
(OCPSF) analysis are also contained in the Annual Pollutant Analysis Monitoring
Report required under Item F of SECTION E. CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT
LIMIT (QRTRLY) of the permit. Additionally, historical data indicate that a very
limited number of these parameters have ever been shown to be present in the
discharge from the facility, nor is there reason to believe that any of these other
constituents would ever,be present. In order to relieve the reporting burden on the
facility, as well as to relieve the paperwork burden on the regulators, we suggest
the following: During! the . first quarter of the monitoring year, an analysis
consistent with the APAM parameters (of which the OCPSF parameters are a
subset) will be conducted. From the results of this analysis, a list of parameters
will be compiled consisting of all specific compounds (except those tentatively
identified) found by theI APAM analysis to be present in the discharge at levels
greater than the method detection level for the test. For the remaining three
quarters of the year, all compounds detected at levels above the method detection
level during the initial test will be sampled for and reported. During the first
quarter of each subsequent year, this cycle will be repeated.
We appreciate your time and cooperation in working with us so that we may develop a permit
that accomplishes the needs and goals of both the Division of Water Quality and our facility.
Should you have any questions about these matters or any, material contained in this permit
renewal application, please do not hesitate to' contact myself or Mr. Jeff Randolph, Site
Senior Environmental Engineer, at [phone].

"PLANKTON (10200)/Biomass
10-25
10200 I. Determination of Biomass (Standing Crop)
Biomass is a quantitative estimate of the total mass of living
organisms within a given area or volume. It may include the mass
of a population (species biomass) or of a community (community
biomass) but gives no information on community structure or
function. The most accurate methods for estimation of biomass
are dry weight, ash -free dry weight, and volume of living organ-
isms. Indirect methods include estimates of total carbon, caloric
content; nitrogen, lipids, carbohydrates, silica (diatoms), and
chlorophyll (algae). Adenosine triphosphatel (ATP) and deoxy-
ribonucleic acid" (DNA) also have been used as indirect esti-
mates. All estimates of biomass can be affected by the presence
of organic and inorganic detritus; ATP and DNA analyses in-
clude contributions from the bacterial flora.'
1. Chlorophyll a
Chlorophyll a is used as an algal biomass indicator.5 Assuming
that chlorophyll a constitutes, on the average, 1.5% of the dry
weight of organic matter (ash -free weight) of algae, estimate the
algal biomass by multiplying the chlorophyll a content by a factor
of 67.
2. Biovolume (Cell Volume)
Plankton data derived on a volume -per -volume basis often are
more useful than numbers per milliliter." Determine cell volume
by using the simplest geometric configuration that best fits the
shape of the cell being measured (such as sphere, cone, cylin-
der).7 Cell sizes of an organism can differ substantially in dif-
ferent waters and from the same waters at different times during
the year; therefore, average measurements from 20 individuals
of each species for each sampling period. Calculate the total
biovolume of any species by multiplying the average cell volume
in cubic micrometers by the number per milliliter.
Compute total wet algal volume as:
V,(Ni xV;)
where:
V, = total plankton cell volume, mm'/L,
Ni = number of organisms of the ith species/L, and
V, = average volume of cells of ith species, µm'.
3. Cell Surface Area
An estimation of cell surface area is valuable in analyzing
interactions between the cell and surrounding waters. Compute
average surface area in square micrometers and multiply by the
number per milliliter of the species being considered.
4. Displacement Volume
This method" measures an equivalent volume of liquid that is
displaced by the sample. Displacement volume may be deter-
mined by several methods; for simple, direct measurement pro-
ceed as follows: Place sample in sieve of mesh size equal to or
smaller than net used in capture; let sample drain and transfer
to a measured volume of water in a graduated cylinder; measure
the new volume containing sample plus known volume. The
displacement volume equals the new volume minus original
measured volume of water.
5. Gravimetric Methods
The biomass of the plankton community can be estimated from
gravimetric determinations, although silt and organic detritus
interfere. Determine dry weight by placing 100 mg wet concen-
trated sample in a clean, ignited, and tared porcelain crucible
and dry at 105*C for 24 h. Alternatively, filter a known volume
of sample through 0.45-µm-pore-diam membrane or a prerinsed,
dried, and preweighed glass -fiber filter. (Note that the small
sample used in direct filtration may lead to error if not handled
properly.) Cool sample in a desiccator and weigh. Obtain ash -
free weight by igniting the dried sample at 500°C for 1 h. Cool,
rewet ash with distilled water, and bring to constant weight at
105°C. The ash is rewetted to restore water of hydration of clays
and other minerals; this may amount to as much as 10% of weight
lost during incineration.9 The ash -free weight is preferred to dry
weight to compare mixed assemblages. The ash content may
constitute 50% or more of the dry weight in phytoplankton hav-
ing inorganic structures, such as the diatoms. In other forms the
ash content is only about 5% of dry weight.
6. Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
Methods of measuring adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in plank-
ton provide the only means of determining the total viable plank-
ton biomass. ATP occurs in all plants and animals, but only in
living cells; it is not associated with nonliving particulate material.
The ratio of ATP to biomass varies from species to species, but
appears to be constant enough to permit reliable estimates of
biomass from ATP measurements.10 The method is simple and
relatively inexpensive and the instrumentation is stable and re-
liable. The method also has many potential applications in
entrainment and bioassay work, especially plankton mortality
studies.
a. Equipment and reagents:
1) Glassware: clean, sterile, dry borosilicate glass flasks, beak-
ers, and pipets.
2) Filters: 47-mm-diam, 0.45-µm-porosity membrane filters.
3) Filtration equipment.
4) Freezer (— 20°C).
5) Boiling water bath.
6) Detection instruments designed specifically for measuring
ATP."
7) Microsyringes: 10-, 25-, 50-, 100-, and 250-µL.
8) Reaction cuvettes and vials.
9) Tris buffer (0.02M, pH 7.75): Dissolve 7.5 g trishydroxy-
methylaminomethane in 3 L distilled water and adjust to pH 7.75
with 20% HCl. Autoclave 150-mL portions at 115°C for 15 min.
10) Luciferin-luciferase enzyme preparation: t Rehydrate fro-
zen (-20°C) lyophilized extracts of firefly lanterns with Tris
Beckman, JRB, Turner Designs, or equivalent.
t Dupont, Sigma Chemical, or equivalent.

WQ0011038 issued August 18, 1995, and shall be subject to the following specified conditions and
limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARD
1. The Mooresville Regional Office, telephone number [phone], and the appropriate
local governmental official (county manager/city manager) shall be notified at least twenty-
four (24) hours prior; to the initial application of the residuals to a site so that an inspection
can be made of the' application sites and application method. Such notification to the
regional supervisor shall be made during the normal office hours from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00
p.m. on Monday through Friday, excluding State Holidays. In addition, the Cleveland
County. Manager's office must be notified prior to the initial application so that they will be
aware that the operation has commenced.
2. This permit shall become voidable if the soils fail to adequately assimilate the wastes and
may be rescinded unless the sites are maintained and operated in a manner which will
protect the assigned water quality standards of the surface waters and ground waters.
3. The land application program shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non -
discharge system to prevent the discharge of any wastes resulting from the operation of this
program.
4. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for damages
to 'surface or groundwaters resulting from the operation of this program.

5. In the event that the land application program is not operated satisfactorily, including the
creation of nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall cease applying residuals to the sites and
> take any immediate corrective actions as may be required by the Division.
6. Some of the buffers specified below may not have been included in previous permits for
this land application operation. However, any sites or fields that are included in this
permit, but were approved with different applicable buffers shall be reflagged to comply
with the below buffers. The following buffer zones shall be maintained:
a) 400 feet from residences or places of public assembly under separate ownership for
surface application method; however, the buffer zone requirement may be reduced to a
minimum of 100 feet upon written consent of the owner and approval from the
appropriate DWQ regional office,
b) 200 feet from residences or places of public assembly under separate ownership for
subsurface residual injection method; however, the buffer zone requirement may be
reduced to a minimum of 100 feet upon written consent of the owner and the
appropriate DWQ regional office,
c) 100 feet from any public or private water supply source, waters classified as SA or SB,
and any Class I or Class II impounded reservoir used as a source of drinking water for
both methods,
d) 100 feet from any streams classified as WS or B, any other stream, canal, marsh or
coastal waters and any other lake or impoundment for surface application,
e) 50 feet from any streams classified as WS or B, any other stream, canal, marsh or
coastal waters and any other lake or impoundment for subsurface application,•-•
f) 50 feet from property lines for both surface and subsurface application methods;
g) 50 feet from public right of ways for both application methods,
h) 10 feet from upslope interceptor drains and surface water diversions for both
application methods,
i) 25 feet from downslope interceptor drains, surface water diversions, groundwater
drainage systems and surface drainage ditches for both application methods.
7. A copy of this permit shall be maintained at the land application site when residuals are
being applied during the life of this permit. A spill prevention and control plan shall be
maintained in all residuals transport and application vehicles.
8. Specific residual application area boundaries shall be clearly marked on each site prior to
and during application.
9. No residuals at any time shall be stored at any application site, unless approval has been

Dear Ms. Frank:
Based on your letter to the Division dated May 10, 1995, the permit has been modified
to include the appropriate sampling requirement for the OCPSF parameters. The volatile
samples were changed to "grab" as requested and the phenol compound was changed to
"composite". Enclosed please find the corrected pages for the OCPSF limits and monitoring
requirements. The enclosed pages should be inserted into your existing permit and the old pages
discarded. 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 regard to your other request for a modified outfall location, the Division concurs
with the relocation of the outfall further upstream from the current location. This relocation
will not effect Hoechst Celanese's current permitted limits. Because this relocation is part of
the existing outfall pipe, no Authorization to Construct permit will be required.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in. this
modification of the 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 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 that this permit is not transferable. Part II, E.4. addresses the
requirements to be followed in case of change in ownership or control of this discharge.
This permit does not affect the legal requirement 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.

5. Mass,/Dav 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 durin„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 during any calendar day the weight of pollutant
calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as "Daily
Maximum," *n 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
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
flo", 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 dai1v 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
rm Part I of the peit.
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
Flow. (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow,
averaged month]y. 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.
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 frequent times when there may be no flow
or for infrequent maintenance activities on the ; ow device.
8. Tomes of Samples
a. Composite Sample: A composite sample shal. t of:
(1) a series of grab samples collected at equal tir ie 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 o'lected over a 24 hour period with the time
intervals between samples determined a preset number of gallons passing the
sampling point. Flow rneasurement bete sample intervals shall be determined by
use of a flow recorder and totalizer, an present gallon interval between sample
collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 c expected total daily flow at the treatment
system. or
(3) a single, continuous sample collected o, I hour period proportional to the rate of
flow.
In accordance with (1) above, the time interval veen influent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour, and the time interval t?. tween 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 (t;) 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).

Part II
Page 4 of 14
'v�'eighted 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 III
Permit No. NC0004952
E. CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in:
1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic
Bioassay Procedure - Revised *September 1989) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or
significant mortality is 6.5% (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 the effective date
of this permit during the months of March, June, September and December. 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 Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention:
Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
4401 Reedy Creek Road
Raleigh, N.C. 27607
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 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 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 retesting(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit
suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements.
F. 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 Monitoring (APAM) Requirement Reporting Form A and
accompanying memo, 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 Monitoring Requirement" (APAM).

a .6
2) Other significant levels of synthetic organic chemicals must be identified and approximately
quantified. For the purpose. of implementing this requirement, the largest 10 GUMS peaks in the
purgeable, base/neutral extractable, and acid extractable fractions (or fewer than 10, if less than 10
unidentified peaks occur) for chemicals other than those specified on the. APA Requirement
Reporting Form A should be identified and approximately quantified as stated in the APAM
Reporting Form A instructions. This part (item 2) of the APAM requirement is to be referred to as
the "10 significant peaks rule".
G. Biocide Condition
The permittee shall obtain authorization from the Division of Environmental Management prior to
utilizing any biocide in the cooling water. 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
Environmental Management. Such notification shall include completion of Biocide Worksheet
Form 101 and a map locating the discharge point and receiving stream.
Concentrations of chromium,. copper, or zinc added to biocides shall not exceed applicable water
quality standards or action levels in the receiving stream, as determined by calculations from the
biocide worksheet Form 101 with Supplemental Metals Analysis worksheet.
H. During quarterly periods when the groundwater remediation wastewaters are discharged to
Hoechst Celanese's wastewater treatment facility, copies of quarterly groundwater reports
submitted to EPA are to be attached to the appropriate monthly self -monitoring report submitted in
fulfillment of reporting requirements contained in this permit.

is _6.5 % (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document). The permit holder shall
perform quarterlx monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance with the permit condition. The first
test will be performed after thirty days from the effective date of this permit during the months of
MARJUN SEP DEC_. 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 Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
4401 Reedy Creek Road
Raleigh, N.C. 27607
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 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 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
retesting(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit suitable test results will constitute
noncompliance with monitoring requirements.

BUFFALO CREEK jmn

Previous benzene limit (7/90 WLA) was 0.132 lbs/day - Daily Max. and 0.089
lbs/day Mo. Avg. R. Swanek calculated this water quality based limit by the mass balance
equation, using the 7Q10 flow at water supply class of Buffalo Creek.
Cw = (1.19 µg/l)(20.55 cfs)/ 0.85 cfs = 28.77 µg/l or 0.0288 mg/1
0.0288 mg/1 * 8.34 *0.55 MGD = 0.1321bs/day
This limit is incorrect because the average flow (219 cfs) at the water supply class should
have been used in the equation, instead of the 7Q10. (Average flow used because benzene
is a carcinogen). The allowable concentration for benzene based on the water quality
standard is:
New Qw = 0.580 MGD = 0.9 cfs
Cw = (1.19 µg/l)(219 cfs)/ 0.9 cfs = 289.6 µg/l or 0.290 mg/1
0.290 mg/1 *8.34*0.58 MGD = 1.401bs/day
The old benzene limit based on the OCPSF guidelines was calculated using the following
flow: 215,000 GPD contact cooling water for polyester resin + 75,000 GPD process water
- polyester fiber = 290,000 GPD
The new OCPSF benzene limit is based on 290,000 GPD + 120,000 GPD Groundwater
Remediation flow = 410,000 GPD.
The new OCPSF benzene limit is 0.465 lbs/day Daily Max. & 0.127 lbs/day
Mo. Avg. Since this limit is more stringent than the water quality based limit, this is the
limit that should be applied.

Permit No. NC0004952
E. CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in:
1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic
Bioassay Procedure - Revised *September 1989) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or
significant mortality is 6.5% (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 the effective date
of this permit during the months of -March, June, September and December. 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 Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention:
Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
4401 Reedy Creek Road
Raleigh, N.C. 27607
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 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 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 retesting(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit
suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements.
F. 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 Monitoring (APAM) Requirement Reporting Form A and
accompanying memo, 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 Monitoring Requirement" (APAM).

2) Other significant levels of synthetic organic chemicals must be identified and approximately
quantified. For the purpose of implementing this requirement, the largest 10 GUMS peaks in the
purgeable, base/neutral extractable, and acid extractable fractions (or fewer than 10, if less than 10
unidentified peaks occur) for chemicals other than those specified on the APA Requirement
