PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The permittee, PPG Industries, Inc., has applied for permit
renewal. The WWTP serves the industrial and domestic needs for PPG
and Azdel, Inc. Azdel, Inc. is located on the PPG property and
uses the fiberglass produced at PPG as part of their industrial
process.
Outfall 001 is the outfall for the WWTP, which treats all
industrial, domestic, portions of the stormwater, and at this time
all non -contact cooling wastewater. Outfall 002 consists of non -
contact cooling water (not used at this time; however, they may use
it in the future) and stormwater.'
The facility appears very well maintained and operated. The
WWTP should be able to continue to meet all existing permitted
effluent limits.
It is recommended that the permit be renewed.as requested.

Refer.erice: NPDES Permit No. NC0004685. ;
PPG Industries, Inc. �
Cleveland County
Pursuant to 40 CFR 122.21(g)(3), this is to inform you -of a
change the NPDES permit information previously submitted for the
Shelby Plant of PPG Industries. It does not affect the volume or
nature of the wastewater being treated, but does change the user
identity of one of the sources of wastewater to the PPG
wastewater treatment plant. There is no change in the discharge
of treated water or in ownership of the treatment facility.
The user, Azdel, Incorporated, has manufacturing operations which
are located just east of the main PPG plant. This facility was
previously part of the Shelby Plant's operations. The Azdel,
Inc. wastewater is primarily domestic sewage and a small amount
of water from process cooling towers or chill systems and has
already been accounted for in our influent wastewater streams.
Azdel, Inc. will be identified as a separate user in the renewal
permit application which will be submitted later this year.
If there are any questions, please give me a call.

SLUDGE MANAGEMENT PLAN NARRATIVE
The wastewater treatment plant sludge generated by the
Shelby facility is a mixture of both primary and secondary
slugdes. The primary sludge is the result of clarification
using lime, ferric chloride, and polymers to achieve
coagulation and settling. The secondary sludge is waste
activated sludge from the biological treatment system.
Both sludges are combined in a sludge thickener/storage tank
prior to dewatering. The sludge is then pumped to the belt
press for dewatering. Polymer addition and mechanical
mixing is required to prepare the sludge for the belt press.
The belt press has both a gravity drain section and a
pressure section where water is removed. Currently, the
solids content is increased from 4-5%, as received from the
thickener, to 25-28% as it leaves the belt press. 'From the
press, the sludge is transported by screw conveyors to a
roll -off box which is handled by a local hauling and waste
disposal contractor.
The dewatered sludge can be disposed of either in the on -
site sludge landfill (Permit No. 5351) or in an off -site
private landfill owned by the waste disposal contractor.
Currently the off -site landfill operated by Cleveland
Container Service is used for disposal. Sludge is
incorporated into the cover dirt used to bury waste
materials in the landfill. _
As an alternative disposal method, the Shelby plant has
acerage permitted for the land application of sludge (Permit
No. WQ0001055), but has elected not to use this option at
this time.

Dear Mr. Gleason:
Reference: NPDES Permit No. NC0004685
PPG Industries, Inc.
Cleveland County
Pursuant to 40 CFR 122.21(g)(3), this is to inform you -of a
change the NPDES permit information previously submitted for the
Shelby Plant of PPG Industries. It does not affect the volume or
nature of the wastewater being treated, but does change the user
identity of one of the sources of wastewater to the PPG
wastewater treatment plant. There is no change in the discharge
of treated water or in ownership of the treatment facility.
The user, Azdel, Incorporated, has manufacturing operations which
are located just east of the main PPG plant. This facility was
previously part of the Shelby Plant's operations. The Azdel,
Inc. wastewater is primarily domestic sewage and a small amount
of water from process cooling towers or chill systems and has
already been accounted for in our influent wastewater streams.
Azdel, Inc. will be identified as a separate user in the renewal
permit application which will be submitted later this year.
If there are any questions, please give me a call.
Sincerely,
cc: J. Emmert G'

PART Ii_I - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
PPG requests approval to replace existing WWT units at its
facility located in Cleveland County. No changes in treatment `
rapacity or process is planned as a result of this request. The
two (2) proposed activities are:
l_ Replace an existing 36' diameter aeration tank with a
60' diameter tank to allow for alternative aeration
capacity when the primary aeration tank_ is down for
maintenance. Presently, the existing .36' diameter tank
is not capable of maintaining removal efficiencies when
the primary tank is out of. service.
erire
2. Replace two of the four tertiary sand filters with one
single unit capable of handling the entire normal
volume and use the remaining filters as alternates or
backups. in 1994; the remaining two filters t•?il1_ be
replaced with filters sized to handle normal flows that
Will allow them to be alternated for maintenance.
Pending a technical review of this project by P&E, s i
it
recommended that an ATC be issued. - -

Dear Ms. Sullins:
Reference: NPDES Permit NC0004685_
PPG Industries, Inc.

Authorization to Construct
PPG Industries request an Authorization to Construct for the
replacement of two units of the wastewater treatment facility at
its Shelby plant:
(1) replace a 36' diameter aeration tank with a 60'
diameter tank, to match an existing 60' diameter tank
for alternate aeration capacity to allow maintenance on
the primary tank without loss of effluent quality
(2) replace two tertiary sand filters with a single sand
filter of equal capacity to maintain removal efficiency
No changes in the permit conditions, treatment capacity, or type
of process are requested.
The purpose of this construction is to enhance the reliability of
the treatment process and to allow shut down and maintenance on a
major component of the process. Our studies have shown that the
existing 36' diameter aeration tank is not capable of maintaining
removal efficiencies while the primary 60' diameter tank is taken
of service for extended maintenance. The 60' tank has been in
almost continuous use since 1978 and should the mixer, aeration
system, or support structures fail, operation with only the 36'
tank would not be adequate.

pppppp"-
-2-
The treatment plant has four tertiary sand filters. Two of the
filters are scheduled for replacement this year and the remaining
two in 1994. Our plan is to replace each set of two filters with
a single unit capable of handling the entire normal volume and
use the remaining filters as alternates or backup. The 1994
replacement will complete the project with two modern filters in
place, each sized to handle normal flows, so they can be
alternated for maintenance.
The goal of this project is to improve the reliability of the
treatment system and avoid a failure or upset. There is some
urgency in getting construction started. We would like to ask
your approval to begin construction on the tank and foundation
immediately, with details of the aeration system and filter to
follow when evaluation of alternative designs and vendors is
completed. Your help in expediting this first phase would be
greatly appreciated.
Enclosed are three sets of Phase one drawings, signed by a North
Carolina Professional Engineer, and a check for the $200
processing fee.
If there are any questions or comments, please call me or Bryan
Wood of O'Neal Engineering, Greenville, S.C. 8803-232-7392.

PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
SECTION A. DEFINITIONS
1. Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Environmental Management.
2. DEM or Division
Means the Division of Environmental Management, Department of Environment, Health
and Natural Resources.
3. EMC
Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
4. Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended,
33 USC 1251, et. seq.
5. Mass/Day Measurements
a. The "monthly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are
sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or
measured during such month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the
weights of the pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by. the.
number of days the tests were reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly.
Average" in Part I of the permit.
b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during the calendar week (Sunday - Saturday) on which daily
discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found
by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this
sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as
"Weekly Average" in Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged
during a calendar day. If only one sample is taken 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.

Part II
Page 2 of 14
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.
6. Concentration Measurement
a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliforin 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 Units" 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 Units" 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 Units" 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.
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.

Part 11
Page 3 of 14
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.
1. Other Measurements
a. Flow, (MGD):. The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow,
averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows
recorded during the calendar month.
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of
sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge.
c. A "continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility
which occurs continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the
facility. Flow shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when
there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device.
8. Types of Samples
a. Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of:
(1) a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of
discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of
individual sample collection, or
(2) a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the
time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing
the sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be
determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the present gallon interval
between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily
flow at the treatment system, or
(3) a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional
to the rate of flow.
In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be
no greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall
be no greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a
detention time of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be
collected at time intervals evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in
number of hours to the detention time of the system in number of days. However, in
no case may the time interval between effluent grab, samples be greater than six (6)
hours nor the number of samples less than four (4) during a 24 hour sampling period.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not
exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually.
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.

Part II
Page 4 of 14
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 Valuer Weighted by flow value means the summation of each
concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective
flows.

facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or
improper operation.
b. Affect of an upset.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for
noncompliance with such technology based permit effluent limitations if the
requirements of paragraph c. of this condition are met. No determination made during
administrative review of claims that noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an
action for noncompliance, is final administrative action subject to judicial review.
c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset.
A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate,
through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence
that:

Part III
Permit No. NC0004685
D. The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity in any two consecutive toxicity
tests, using test procedures outlined in:
1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic
Bioassay Procedure - Revised *September 1989) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition .of reproduction or
significant mortality is 33% (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document).
The permit holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance
with the permit condition. The first test will be performed after thirty days from issuance of this
permit during the months of January, April, July and October. Effluent sampling for this testing
shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter
code TGP3B. Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention:
Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
P.O. Box 27687
Raleigh, N.C. 27611
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements
performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual
chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for
disinfection of the waste stream.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly
monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this
monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this
permit may be reopened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum
control organism survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test
and will require immediate retesting (within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit
suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements.
E. 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 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 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".
F. The permittee shall not use any biocides except those approved in conjunction with the permit
application. The permittee shall notify the Director in writing not later than ninety (90) days prior
to instituting use of any additional biocide used in cooling systems which may be toxic to aquatic
life other than those previously reported to the Division of Environmental Management. Such
notification shall include completion of Biocide Worksheet Form 101 and a map locating the
discharge point and receiving stream.
G. In the event that violations of the fecal coliform requirements of the North Carolina water
quality standards occur as a result of this discharge, disinfection will immediately be required and
the permit amended to establish a coliform effluent limitation.

PART IV
ANNUAL ADMINISTERING AND COMPLIANCE MONITORING FEE REQUIREMENTS
A. The permittee must pay the annual administering and compliance monitoring fee within 30
(thirty) days after being.billed by the Division. Failure to pay the fee in a timely manner in
accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0105(b)(4) may cause this Division to initiate action to
revoke the permit.

A letter of request for an Authorization to Construct was received on May 22, 1989, by the
Division and final plans and specifications for the subject project were reviewed and found to be
satisfactory. On June 23, 1989, an Authorization to Construct was issued for the construction of
modifications to the existing wastewater treatment plant consisting of an additional secondary
clarifier. On August 28, 1990, the Division received a letter requesting that the original
Authorization to. Construct be modified to postpone the installation of the flocculation tank until
some future date, The Authorization to Construct is, therefore, modified to allow the construction
of the originally approved modifications, minus the installation of the flocculation tank. If you
wish to add this tank in the future, an appropriate Authorization to Construct must first be issued.
This Authorization to Construct is issued in accordance with Part III paragraph B of
NPDES Permit No. NC0004685 issued May 18, 1987, and shall be subject to revocation unless
the wastewater treatment facilities are constructed in accordance with the conditions and limitations
specified in Permit No. NC0004685.
The sludge generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed of in accordance with
G.S. 143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the .North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management.
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.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The wastewater treatment facilities serving PPG Industries
appeared to be well operated and maintained at the time of the
site investigation. Operation of the recently constructed third
secondary clarifier was expected soon.
It should be noted that although disinfection facilities
exist at PPG, they are not operated due to the fact existing
waste stream conditions promote an unsuitable environment to
sustain fecal bacteria, therefore, sufficient reduction in
coliform is accomplished.

This facility has established an excellent compliance.
history, and pending receipt and approval of the Wasteload
Allocation, it is.recommended that the NPDES Permit be renewed.

SLUDGE MANAGEMENT PLAN NARRATIVE
The wastewater treatment plant sludge generated by the
Shelby facility is a mixture of both primary and secondary
slugdes. The primary sludge is the result of clarification
using lime, ferric chloride, and polymers to achieve
coagulation and settling. The secondary sludge is waste
activated sludge from the biological treatment system.
Both sludges are combined in a sludge thickener/storage tank
prici to dewatering. Tie sludge is then pumped to the belt
press for dewatering. Polymer addition and mechanical
mixing is required to prepare the sludge for the belt press.
The belt press has both a gravity drain section and a
pressure section where water is removed. Currently, the
solids content is increased from 4-5%, as received from the
thickener, to 25-28% as it leaves the belt press. 'From the
press, the sludge is transported by screw conveyors to a
roll -off box Which is handled by a local hauling and waste
disposal contractor.
The dewatered sludge can be disposed of either in the on -
site sludge landfill (Permit No. 5351) or in an off -site
private landfill owned by the waste disposal contractor.
Currently the off -site landfill operated by Cleveland
Container Service is used for disposal. Sludge is
incorporated into the cover dirt used to bury waste
materials in the landfill.
As an alternative disposal method, the Shelby plant has
acerage permitted for the land application of sludge (Permit
No. WQ0001055), but has elected not to use this option at
this time.

CHRONIC TOXICITY TESTING REQUIREMENT (QR'1'RLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity in any two consecutive toxicity tests,
using test procedures outlined in:
1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic
Bioassay Procedure - Revised *September 1989) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or
significant mortality is 13 To (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure
document). The permit holder shall perform i7tiarterjy monitoring using this procedure to establish
compliance' -With the permit condition. The. fist test will be p' erfonned after durty days frm o
isstianee of thi '?Mnit during the months of 4W '�1- L Oar - .Effluent
sampling for this,testing shgU-be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below
all;treatmentprocesses. .
All toxicity testing results required as part of this petit condition will be entered on the Effluent
DischargeMonitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter
code T GMB...'Additionally, DEM Form AT 1- (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
P.O. Box 27687
Raleigh, N.C. 27611
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting cliemical/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 steam.
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 minittlttni
control organism survival and appropriate environmenutl 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.

Dear Mr. Ballard:
The Division of .Environmental Management has reviewed your letter of May 29, 1991
requesting modifications to draft Permit No. NCOOO4685 for PPG Industries, Inc. The items are
addressed in the following:
(1) 1Vlonitoring only for fluoride and nickel will be required from the effective date of the
permit until July 31, 1992. The limits for fluoride and nickel will then become effective
August 1, 1992.
(2) The data for lead indicate five monthly values from April through August 1990 that
exceed the limit of 75.0 µg/1. In addition, the detection levels of < 0.1 mg/1(September
1990, February and March 1991) and < 0.2 mg/l (November 1990) used for lead are
higher than the limit and give no clear indication of whether the limit was met during
those months. Consequently, lead monitoring will remain weekly. Regarding nickel,
as this is the initial period for monitoring/limitation, weekly monitoring will provide
more data to establish discharge levels as noted by PPG in Item 1 of your request.
Chromium has been left at weekly monitoring to maintain consistency. After twelve
months of monitoring that shows constant compliance, we would be willing to
reconsider your request for reduced monitoring.

Part III
Permit No. NC0004685
F. Toxicity Reopener
This permit shall be modified, or revoked and reissued, to incorporate toxicity
limitations and monitoring requirements in the event toxicity testing or other
studies conducted on the effluent or receiving stream indicate that detrimental
effects may be expected in the receiving stream as a result of this discharge.
G. Chronic Toxicity Testing Requirement
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity in any two
consecutive toxicity tests, using test procedures outlined in:
1). The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure
(North Carolina Chronic Bioassay Procedure - Revised `February 1987) or
subsequent version.
The effluent concentration at, which there may be no observable inhibition of
reproduction or significant mortality is 20% (defined as treatment two in the
North Carolina procedure document). The permit holder shall perform quarterly
monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance with the permit
condition. The first test will be performed after thirty days from issuance of
this permit during the months of January, April, July and October. Effluent
sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final
effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be
entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which
it was performed, using the parameter code TGP3B. Additionally, DEM from AT-1
(original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: Technical Services Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
P.O. Box 27687
Raleigh, N.C. 27611
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting
chemical./physical measurements performed in association with the toxicity
tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the
effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed
for disinfection of the waste stream.

H.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified
limits, then monthly monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a
single test is passed. Upon passing, this monthly test requirement will revert
to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data. from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the
North Carolina Division of Environmental Management indicate potential impacts
to the receiving stream, this permit may be reopened and modified to include
alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: 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.
-Chroni_c Toxicity Testing Requirement
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity in any two
consecutive toxicity tests, using test procedures outlined in:
1). The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure
(North Carolina Chronic Bioassay Procedure - Revised `February 1987) or
subsequent version.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of
reproduction or significant mortality is 33% (defined as treatment two in the
North Carolina procedure document). The permit holder shall perform quarterly
monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance with the permit
condition. The first test will. be performed after thirty days from issuance of
this permit during the months of January, April, July and October. Effluent
sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted .final
effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be
entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which
it was performed, using the parameter code TGP3B. Additionally, DEM from AT-1
(original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: Technical Services Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
P.O. Box 27687
Raleigh, N.C. 27611.
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting
chemical/physical measurements performed in association with the toxicity
tests, as well. as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the
effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed
for disinfection of the waste stream.

Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified
limits, then monthly monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a
single test is passed. Upon passing, this monthly test requirement will revert
to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the
North Carolina Division of Environmental Management indicate potential impacts
to the receiving stream, this permit may be reopened and modified to include
alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document,
such as minimum control organism survival and appropriate environmental
controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate retesting
(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit suitable test
results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements.
I. If this facility is built in phases, plans and specifications for the next phase
shall be submitted when the flow to the existing units reaches 80% of the design
capacity of the facilities on line. At no time may the flow tributary to the
facility exceed the design capacity of the existing units.
J. The permittee shall not use any biocides except those approved in conjunction with
the permit application. The permittee shall notify the Director in writing not
later than ninety (90) days prior to instituting use of any additional biocide
used in cooling systems which may be toxic to aquatic life other than those
previously reported to the Division of Environmental Management. Such
notification shall include completion of Biocide Worksheet Form 101 and a map
locating the discharge point and receiving stream.
K. In the event that violations of the fecal coliform requirements of the North
Carolina water quality standards occur as a result of this discharge, disinfection
will immediately be required and the permit amended to establish a coliform
effluent limitation..
L. The permittee shall conduct a test for priority pollutants annually at the
effluent from the treatment plant. The discharge shall be evaluated as follows:
1) A pollutant analysis of the effluent must be completed annually using
EPA approved methods for the following analytic fractions: (a)
purgeables (i.e., volatile organic compounds); (b) acid extractables;
(c) base/neutral extractables; (d) organochlorine pesticides and PCB's
(e) herbicides; and (f) metals and other inorganics. The Annual
Pollutant Analysis (APA) Monitoring Requirement Reporting Form A, to
be provided to all discharges affected by this monitoring requirement,
describes the sampling and analysis requirements and lists chemicals
to be included in the pollutant analysis. This monitoring requirement
is to be referred to as the "Annual Pollutant Analysis" (APA).

2) Other significant levels of synthetic organic chemicals must be
identified and approximately quantified. For the purpose of
implementing this requirement, the largest 10 GC/MS peaks in each
organic chemical analytic fraction (or fewer than 10, if less than 10
unidentified peaks) occur for chemicals other than those specified on
the APA Monitoring Requirement Reporting Form A should be identified
and approximately quantified as stated in the APA Reporting Form A
instructions. This part (item 2) of the APA monitoring requirement is
to be referred to as the "10 significant peaks rule".

Dear Mr. Harden:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC0004685 was
issued on July 12, 1991 for the discharge of wastewater to the
surface waters of the State from your facility. The purpose of
this letter is to advise you of the importance of the Permit and
the liabilities in the event of failure to comply with the terms
and conditions of the Permit. If you have not already done so,
it is suggested that you thoroughly read the Permit. Of
particular importance are Pages 5-9.
Pages 5-9 set forth the effluent limitations and monitoring
requirements for your discharge(s). Your discharge(s) must not
exceed any.of the limitations set forth. The section headed
"Monitoring Requirements" describes the measurement frequencies,
sample types and sampling locations. Upon commencement of your
discharge (or operation), you must initiate the required
monitoring. The monitoring results must be entered on the
reporting forms furnished to you by this Agency. If you have. not
received these forms, they should be arriving shortly. If you
fail to receive the forms, please contact this Office as quickly
as possible. I have enclosed a sample of the "Effluent"
reporting form (DEM Form MR-1), plus instructions for completing
the form. It is imperative that all applicable parts be
completed, and the original and one copy be submitted as
required.
The remaining Parts of the Permit set forth definitions,
general conditions and special conditions applicable to the
operation of wastewater treatment facilities and/or discharge(s).
The conditions include special reporting requirements in the
919 North Main Street, Mooresville, N.C. 28115 • Telephone [phone] • FAX [phone]

event of noncompliance, bypasses, treatment unit/process
failures, etc. Also addressed are requirements for a certified
wastewater treatment plant operator if you are operating
wastewater treatment facilities. Any changes in operation of
wastewater treatment facilities, quantity and type of wastewater
being treated or discharged, expansions and/or upgrading of
wastewater treatment facilities must be permitted or approved by
this Agency.
Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of an NPDES
Permit subjects the Permittee to enforcement action pursuant to
Section 143-215.6 of the North Carolina General Statutes. A
civil penalty of up to $10,000 per violation plus criminal
penalties may be assessed for such violations. If you find at
any time that you are unable to comply with the terms and
conditions of the Permit, you should contact this Office
immediately. A Consent Order may be necessary while pursuing
action to obtain compliance.
As a final note, an NPDES Permit is normally issued for a
five-year period. Permits are not automatically renewed.
Renewal requests must be submitted to this Agency no later than
180 days prior to expiration. Please make note of the expiration
date of your Permit. This date is set forth on Page 1 of the
Permit. Also note that NPDES Permits are not transferable. If
you, as the Permittee, cease to need this -Permit, then you should
request that the Permit be rescinded.
As mentioned previously, the purpose of this letter is to
advise you of the importance of your NPDES Permit. Please read
the Permit and contact this Office at 704/663-1699 in Mooresville
if you have any questions or need clarification. We look forward
to providing any assistance.

SUBJECT: Draft Permit Comments
PPG Industries, Inc.
NPDES Permit No. NC0004685
Cleveland County
This Office has conducted a review of the letter dated
May 29, 1991 from Mr. Lacy Ballard, PPG Industries, Inc.,
concerning the subject Draft Permit, and offers the
following comments and recommendations.
Item 1. This Office concurs with Technical Support's
recommendation to incorporate monitoring only for flouride
and nickel for a period not to exceed twelve (12) months.
This time period would allow PPG to make any
process/construction modifications necessary inorder to
achieve compliance with the proposed limitations.
Item 2. As for modifying the monitoring frequency for
lead, nickel and chromium, this Office concurs with
Technical Support's recommendation to continue monitoring
for lead on a weekly basis considering the exceedances of
the permitted limit which occurred during 1990.
Support for the weekly monitoring of chromium does not
appear to be as justifiable. A review of self -monitoring
data indicates total compliance for the past fifteen months.
Increasing the monitoring frequency from monthly to weekly
is not recommended.

Page Two
Nickel is limited for the first time, however,
inclusion of weekly monitoring does not appear to be
justifiable at this time. A recommended sampling scheme for
nickel and chromium would be the following: both parameters
would be sampled at the beginning of each month; if the
sample results are above permit limits then weekly analysis
should be conducted until compliance is achieved. Precedent
for a similar type of sampling scheme can be found in NPDES
Permit No. NC 0046728 (Town of Mooresville).
If you have any questions, please advise.

SUBJECT: Modification of Draft Permit for PPG Industries Inc. Shelby
NPDES Permit No. NC0004685
Cleveland County
The Technical Support Branch has reviewed the May 29th letter from Mr. Lacy
Ballard of PPG Industries requesting modifications to the draft permit. Our rec-
ommendations concerning the modifications are as follows:
Item 1. The facility requests that the effluent limitations for fluoride and
nickel be reduced to monitoring only for the duration of the permit. Technical
Support concurs with the request for effluent monitoring for these newly per-
mitted parameters, however to continue monitoring until the permit expires in
December 1993 would be longer than we consider necessary. Mr. Ballard states
that "there is no data to establish the actual discharge levels for these two chemi-
cals ...", however an annual pollutant analysis run on PPG's effluent in December
1990 did indicate effluent concentrations for both. We recommend effluent monitoring
for fluoride and nickel for twelve (12) months only, after which the effluent limita-
tions of 5.4 mg/l of fluoride and 263 ug/l of nickel would become effective.
Item 2. The facility requests modifying the monitoring frequency for chromium,
lead, and nickel from weekly to monthly monitoring. A review of daily monitoring
reports for PPG Industries indicates that chromium has been consistently reported
from <0.01 - <0.05 mg/l since March 1990. It appears that PPG is in compliance with
the chromium limit of 149 ug/l. The data for lead indicate five monthly values from
April through August 1990 that exceed the limit of 75 ug/l. In addition, the detec-
tion levels of <0.1 mg/1 (September 1990, February and March 1991) and <0.2 mg/1
(November 1990) used for lead are higher than the limit and gives no clear indication
of whether the limit was met during those months. Regarding nickel, since this is
the initial permit period for that limit/monitoring, it would appear that weekly
monitoring would give PPG more data based on the request in Item 1. Based on this
information, it is Technical Support's recommendation that PPG Industries continue
weekly monitoring of lead and nickel. To maintain consistency, we recommend that
chromium also be monitored on a weekly basis.
If there are additional questions, please feel free to contact me.

PPG Industries, Shelby, Clevel;4&if I,&� 6' L CJf.U£
We have reviewed the draft NPDES permit for the Shelby facility
and find it to be acceptable with the following exceptions:
1. PPG Industries request that the permit discharge
limitations for fluoride and nickel be changed to monitoring
only for the duration of this permit in order to determine
discharge concentrations and, if necessary, determine the
course of action required to reduce concentrations to
acceptable levels.
At this point, there is no data to establish the actual
discharge levels for these two chemicals and PPG Industries
could be placed in immediate violation of the permit
conditions, without opportunity to address the problem,
should these limitations be included in this permit.
PPG Industries past compliance record and the absence of
chronic toxicity, as indicated by the bioassay test, should
support the request for a delay in establishing limitations
for these two parameters.
2. PPG Industries requests that the measurement frequency
for chrome, lead, and nickel be reduced to a more cost
effective level. Data from many years of monitoring for
chrome and lead do not indicate a need for the frequent
monitoring of these parameters. Given the continuous nature
of the manufacturing process, weekly monitoring is not
warranted and it is requested that these measurements be
reduced to monthly.
Thank you for your consideration in the permitting process. If
additional information is needed, please give me a call.

THERE SHALL BE NO CHROMIUM, ZINC, OR COPPER ADDED TO THE COOLING WATER.
*The temperature of the effluent shall be such as not to cause an increase in the temperature of the receiving stream of more than 2.8° C and in
no case cause the ambient water temperature to exceed 29' C.
The permittee shall obtain authorization from the Division of Environmental Management prior to utilizing any biocide in the cooling water (See
Part III of this Permit).
The pH shall not be less than 6.0 standard units nor greater than 9.0 standard units.
There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts.

Part III Permit No. NC0004685
D. The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity in any two consecutive toxicity
tests, using test procedures outlined in:
1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic
Bioassay Procedure - Revised *September 1989) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or
significant mortality is 33% (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document).
The permit holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance
with the permit condition. The first test will be performed after thirty days from issuance of this
permit during the months of January, April, July and October. Effluent sampling for this testing
shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below' all treatment processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter
code TGP3B. Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention:
Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
P.O. Box 27687
Raleigh, N.C. 27611
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements
performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual
chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for
disinfection of the waste stream.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly
monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this
monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this
permit may be reopened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum
control organism survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test
and will require immediate retesting (within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit
suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements.
E. 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 organic chemicals must be identified and approximately quantified.

For the purpose of implementing this requ ,ment, the largest 10 GC/MS peaks in the purgeable,
base/neutral extractable, and acid extractable fractions (or fewer than 10, if less than
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".
F. The permittee shall not use any biocides except those approved in conjunction with the permit
application. The permittee shall notify the Director in writing not later than ninety (90) days prior
to instituting use of any additional biocide used in cooling systems which may be toxic to aquatic
life other than those previously reported to the Division of Environmental Management. Such
notification shall include completion of Biocide Worksheet Form 101 and a map locating the
discharge point and receiving stream.
G. In the event that violations of the fecal coliform requirements of the North Carolina water
quality standards occur as a result of this discharge, disinfection will immediately be required and
the permit amended to establish a coliform effluent limitation.

SECTION D. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
1. Change in Discharge
All discharges authorized herein shall be consistent with the terms and
conditions of this permit. The discharge of any pollutant identified in
this permit more frequently than or at a level in excess of that authorized
shall constitute a violation of the permit. Any anticipated facility
expansions, production. increases, or process modifications which will result
in new, different, or increased discharges of pollutants must be reported by
submission of a new NPDES application or, if such changes will not violate
the effluent limitations specified in this permit, by notice to the DEM of
such changes. Following such notice, the permit may be_modified to specify
and limit any pollutants not previously limited.
2. Anticipated Noncompliance
The permittee shall give notice to the Permit Issuing Authority of any planned
change in the permitted facility or activity which may result in noncompliance
with permit requirements. Any maintenance of facilities, which might
necessitate unavoidable interruption of operation and degradation of effluent
quality, shall be scheduled during noncritical water quality periods and carried
out in a manner approved by the Permit Issuing Authority.
3. Transfer of Ownership or Control
This permit is not transferable. In the event of any change in name, control
or ownership of facilities from which the authorized discharge emanates or is
contemplated, the permittee shall notify the prospective owner or controller by
letter of the existence of this permit and of the need to obtain a permit in the
name of the prospective owner. A copy of the letter shall be forwarded to the
Division of Environmental Management.
4. Additional Monitoring by1ermittee
If the permittee monitors any pollutant at the location(s) designated herein
more frequently than required by this permit, using approved analytical methods
as specified above, the results of such monitoring shall be included in the
calculation and reporting of the values is required in the DMR. Such increased
frequency shall also be indicated. The DEM may require more frequent monitoring
or the monitoring of other pollutants not required in this permit by written
notification.
5. Averaging of Measurements
Calculations for limitations which require averaging of measurements shall
utilize an arithmetic mean unless otherwise specified by the Permit Issuing
Authority in the permit.

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

gone out of compliance with its NPDES permit limitations.
Persons reporting such occurrences by telephone shall also file a written
report in letter form within 15 days following first knowledge of the
occurrence.
7. Changes in Discharges of Toxic Substances:
The per_mittee shall notify the Permit Issuing Authority as soon as it knows or
has reason to believe:
a. That any activity has occurred or will occur which would result in the
discharge, on a routine or frequent basis, of any toxic substance(s) (listed
at 40 CFR S 122, Appendix D, Table II and III) which is not limited in the
permit, if that discharge will exceed the highest of the following
"notification levels".

SECTION E. DEFINITION
1. Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Environmental Management.
2. DEM or Division
Means the Division of Environmental Management, Department of Natural
Resources and Community Development. 3. EMC:
Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
3. EMC
Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
4. Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as
amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq.
5. Mass/Day Measurements
a. The "monthly average discharge: is defined as the total mass of all
daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on
which daily discharges are sample and measured, divided by the number
of daily discharges samples and/or measured during such month. It is
therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the
pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by
the number of days the tests were reported. The limitation is
identified as "Monthly Average" in Part I of the permit.
b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of
all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar week
(Sunday -Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured,
divided by the number of daily discharges samples and/or measured
during such week. It is, tberefore, 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
71Daily Maximum," in Part I of the permit.

Part II
Page 12 of 14
d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily
discharges sample and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily
discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily
discharges sampled and/or measured during such year. It is, therefore, an
arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of
the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were
reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in Part I of the
permit.
6. Concentration Measurement
a.. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform
bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges
samples and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges
are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the
concentration of a•composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the
arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected
during that calendar day. The average monthly count for .fecal coliform
bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average"
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.

Part II
Page 13 of 14
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 minimum concentration" (for dissolved oxygen only) is the
minimum allowable amount of dissolved oxygen required to be available in
the effluent prior to discharge. It is identified as "Daily Minimum" under
"Other Limits" in Part III of the permit.
7. Other Measurements
a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours
average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean
of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar month.
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time
of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the
total discharge.
8. Types of Samples
a. Composite Sample: These samples consist of grab samples collected at
equal intervals and combined proportional to flow, a sample continuously
collected proportionally to flow, or equal volumes taken at varying time
intervals. If a composite sample is obtained from grab samples, the
following requirements apply. The intervals between influent grab
samples shall be no greater than hourly. Intervals between effluent grab
samples shall be no greater than hourly except where the detention time
of the wastewater in the facility is greater than 24 hours, in which
case, the interval between grab samples shall be no greater in number of
hours than the detention time in number of days; provided, however, in
no case may the time between effluent grab samples be greater than six
hours nor the number of grab samples less than four during any discharge
period of 24 hours or less.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a
period of time not exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken
manually.

Part II
Page 14 of 14
9. Calculation of Means
a. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of ariy 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 a.ntilog of
the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual values. For
purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be
considered to be one (1).
c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each
concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the
respective flows.
10. Calendar D
A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight
of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour
period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
11. Hazardous Substance
A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116
pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.
12. Toxic Pollutant
A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of
the Clean Water Act.

Act, also know as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 u.S.C.
1251, et. seq.
b. The "daily average" discharge means the total discharge
by weight during a calendar month divided by the number of
days in the month that the production or commercial facility
was operating. Where less than daily sampling is required by
this permit, the daily average discharge shall be determined
by the summation of all the measured daily discharges by
weight divided by the number of days sampled during the
calendar month when the measurements were made.
C. The "daily maximum" discharge means the total discharge
by weight during any calendar day.
I 5

d. DEM or Division: means the Division of Environmental
Management, Department of Natural Resources and Community
Development.
e. EMC: used herein means the North Carolina Environmental

permit is the 24 hour average flow, averaged monthly. It is
determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows
recorded during the calendar month.
g. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of
values is the summation of the individual values divided by
the number of individual values.
h. 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).
i. Composite Sample: These samples consist of grab samples
collected at equal intervals and combined proportional to
flow, a sample continuously collected proportionally to
flow, or equal volumes taken at varying time intervals. If a
composite sample is obtained from grab samples, the
following requirements apply. The intervals between influent
grab samples shall be no greater than hourly. Intervals
between effluent grab samples shall be no greater than
hourly except where the detention time of the wastewater in
the facility is greater than 24 hours, in which case, the
interval between grab samples shall be no greater in number
of hours than the detention time in number of days;
provided, however, in no case may the time between effluent
grab samples be greater than six hours nor the number of
grab samples less than four during any discharge period of
24 hours or less.

d. DEM or Division: means the Division of Environmental
Management, Department of Natural Resources and Community
Development.
e. EMC: used herein means the North Carolina Environmental
Management Commission.
f. Flow, M3/day (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this
permit is the 24 hour average flow, averaged monthly. It is
determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows
recorded during the calendar month.
g. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of
values is the summation of the individual values divided by
the number of individual values.
h. 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).
i. Composite Sample: These samples consist of grab samples
collected at equal intervals and combined proportional to
flow, a sample continuously collected proportionally to
flow, or equal volumes taken at -varying time intervals. If a
composite sample is obtained from grab samples, the
following requirements apply. The intervals between influent
grab samples shall be no greater than hourly. Intervals
between effluent grab samples shall be no greater than
hourly except where the detention'time of the wastewater in
the facility is greater than 24 hours, in which case, the
interval between grab samples shall be no greater in number
of hours than the detention time in number of days;
provided, however, in no case may the time between effluent
grab samples be greater than six hours nor the number of
grab samples less than four during any discharge period of
24 hours or -less.
j. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples
collected over a _period of time not exceeding 15 minutes;
the grab sample can be taken manually.

PART II GENERAL CONDITIONS
A. MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS
1. Change in Discharge
All discharges authorized herein shall be consistent with
the terms and conditions of this permit. The discharge of
any pollutant identified in this permit more frequently than
or at a level it excess of that authorized shall constitute
a violation of the permit. Any anticipated facility'
expansions, production increases, or process modifications
which will result in new, different, or increased discharges
of pollutants must be reported by submission of a new NPDES
application or, if such changes will not violate the
effluent limitations specified in this permit, by notice to
the DEM of such changes. Following such notice, the permit
may be modified to specify and limit any pollutants not
previously limited.
2. Noncompliance Notification
The permittee shall report by telephone to either the
central office or appropriate regional office of the
division as soon as possible but in no case more than 24
hours or on the next working day following the occurrence or
first knowledge of the occurrence of any of the following:
a. Any occurrence at the water pollution control
facility which results in the discharge of significant
amounts of wastes which are abnormal in quantity or
characteristic, such as the dumping of the contents of a
sludge digester, the known passage of a slug of
hazardous substance through the facility or any other
unusual circumstances.
b. Any process unit failure, due to known or unknown
reasons, that render the facility incapable of adequate
wastewater treatment, such as mechanical or electrical
failures of pumps, aerators, compressors, etc.
c. Any failure of a pumping station, sewer line, or
treatment facility resulting in a by-pass directly to
receiving waters without treatment of all or any portion
of the influent to such station or facility.
d. Any, time that self -monitoring information indicates
that the facility has gone out of compliance with its
NPDES permit limitations.
