Dear Mr. James Ogle:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC0005487 was issued on
November 12, 1999 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 4 and 5 .
Pages 4 and 5 set forth the effluent Iimitations and monitoring requirements for
your discharge. Your discharge 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 reporting forms furnished or approved 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.
Please be advised that an annual administering and compliance monitoring fee
may be required for your facility. You will soon be receiving a statement from our
Raleigh Office. It is imperative that the fee be paid in a timely manner so as to prevent
enforcement action or possible revocation of your permit.
The remaining parts of the Permit set forth definitions, general conditions and
special conditions applicable to the operation of wastewater treatment facilities

discharge(s). The conditions include special reporting requirements in the 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 andtype 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 $25,000 per violation (and/or 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 Special Order by -Consent maybe 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 automatically transferable. If you, as the Permittee, cease to
need this Permit, then you should request that the Division of Water Quality rescind the
-Permit or request that the Division of Water Quality reissue the Permit to another parry,
if necessary.
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: NPDES Permit Issuance
NC Finishing WWTP
NPDES Permit No. NC0005487
Rowan County
In accordance with the application for discharge permit. the Division is forwarding herewith the
subject NPDES permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute
143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency dated December 6. 1983.
The Division received your letter dated September 2, 1999 regarding the draft NPDES permit for NC
Finishing. On behalf of the company, you expressed concerns regarding the increased monitoring
requirements from the previous permit.
As stated in the draft permit, monitoring for certain parameters has been increased due to the rules
modification for classification of water pollution control treatment systems effective April 1. 1999. Based
on the revised rules, NC Finishing is rated as a Class IV facility. As specified in the rule, "systems utilizing
an activated sludge or fixed growth process with a permitted flow Greater than 2.5 million gallons per day
shall be assigned a classification of Grade IV...." Because NC Finishina was in the renewal phase when the
rule came into effect, the facility is subject to the classification change to Grade IV and subsequent
monitoring increases. A letter from the Division's Technical Training and Certification Unit will follow this
permit issuance. Should you have further questions regarding the new classification rules, please contact
Tony Arnold at (919) 733 — 0026, ext. 315.
Another concern that you brought up in your letter was with regard to the significant increase in
nutrient monitoring. The upper portion of the Yadkin River Basin and especially the headwaters of High
Rock Lake are nutrient impaired. The additional monitoring is necessary to Gather nutrient data prior to any
potential development of a nutrient management strategy. Although the nitrogen has been broken down to
specific components, all those compounds are necessary in order to determine the total nitrogen contribution
to the Yadkin River. After further consideration, the Division has agreed to drop chlorophyll a from the
instream monitoring requirement. The nutrient monitoring required in NC Finishing's permit will be
applied to other facilities in that portion of the Yadkin with a permitted flow Greater than 0.5 MGD.

If any parts, measurement frequencies, or sampling requirements contained in this permit are
unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30)
days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to
Chapter 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 a demand is made, this permit
shall be final and binding.
Please take notice that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division of Water
Quality. Part II, E.4. addresses the requirements to be followed in case of change in ownership or control of
this discharge. The Division of Water Quality may require modification or revocation and reissuance of the
permit.
This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by
the Division of Water Quality, the Division of Land Resources, the Coastal Area Management Act, or any
other federal or local governmental permit.
If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact Susan Wilson at telephone number

AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
SPECIAL CONDITIONS
A (3). CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia
at an effluent concentration of 12 %.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarter/v monitoring using test procedures outlined in the "North Carolina
Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998. or subsequent versions or "North Carolina Phase II
Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed
during the months of February, May, August, and November. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the
NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV below the permit limit, then
multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in each of the two following months as described in "North
Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions.
The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the highest concentration
having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest concentration that does have a detectable impairment
of reproduction or survival. The definition of "detectable impairment," collection methods, exposure regimes, and further
statistical methods are specified in the "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure's (Revised -
February 1998) or subsequent versions.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form
(MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed. using the parameter code TGP3B for the pass/fail results and THP313 for
the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Quality
Environmental Sciences Branch
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch no later than 30 days after the end
of the reporting period for which the report is made.
Test data shall be complete, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all concentration/response data,
and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved designate signature. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity
sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, the permittee will
complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe
number, county, and the month/year of the report with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall
be submitted to the Environmental Sciences Branch at the address cited above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, monitoring will be required during
the following month.
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.

4. Actor "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.
d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and
measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such
year. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each
day of the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This
limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in Part I of the permit.

Part II
Page 2 of 14
6. Concentration Measurement
a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on
which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration
values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in
the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples
collected during that calendar day. The average monthly count for fecal coliform bacteria is
the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar month. This
limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar week
(Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the
number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week (arithmetic mean of the
daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a
composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow
value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count for
fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other Limits" in
Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a
calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration of
pollutant calculated from it is the Maximum .Daily Concentration". It is identified as "Daily
Maximum" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar year on
which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration
values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in
the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples
collected during that calendar day. The average yearly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the
geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar year. This limitation is
identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the minimum allowable amount of
dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge averaged over a
calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a calendar day, the sample is
considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the discharge. It is identified as "daily
average" in the text of Part 1.
f. The "quarterly average concentration" is*the average of all samples taken over a calendar
quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I of the permit.
g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through March,
April through June, July through September, and October through December.

Part II

7. Other Measurements
a. Flow, (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. Grab samples must be
representative of the discharge or the receiving waters.
9. Calculation of Means
a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the individual
values divided by the number of individual values.
b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the product of the
individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values. The geometric mean is
equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual values.
For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be considered to be one
(1).
c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each concentration
times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
N.C. Finishing (NCF) requests renewal of the subject Permit.
No changes and/or modifications to the Permit with regards to the
existing WWT facilities are proposed at this time.
In previous Permits for this facility, effluent limitations
were promulgated based on Categorical Guidelines found in CFR:
Part 410-Textile Mills. These guidelines allowed the permittee to
discharge significant amounts of pollutants (with mass based
limitations) as a result of low instream waste concentrations.
The Division now has the opportunity to review these limitations
by comparing them with WQ limits. If the WQ limits are more
stringent than the mass based limits, WQ limits will be assigned.
Instream data (SOD) collected below NCF indicates this facility
may be a significant contributor to the instream pollutant
loading (according to the ORC, solids were not removed from the
WWTP until 1991!). Since High Rock Lake has been identified by
the Division as being nutrient impacted, a reduction in the
nutrient loading from NCF (as well as others dischargers in the
Yadkin basin) should help enhance WQ in the lake. Based on
effluent data reviewed during the site inspection (listed in
concentrations), NCF may find it difficult, if not impossible to
comply with some.of the yet -to -be -promulgated limitations. Upon
receipt of the WLA and a review by MRO and NCF personnel, it may
be necessary to develop a schedule of compliance for the
construction of additional WWT facilities that would be included
in the NPDES Permit prior to reissuance.

After a thorough review of the Yadkin -Pee Dee River basin management plan and water quality issues relevant to
the subject facility, the Division of Water Quality has decided to extend the duration of the subject permit. The
expiration date of your permit will be changed in order to allow the Division to review all NPDES discharge
permits in the Yadkin River Basin during calendar year 1999.
All terms and conditions in the existing permit will apply until a new expiration date is assigned by the Division.
Extension of existing Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements does not exempt the subject facility from
the new Enforcement Policy recently enacted by the Division.
Attached to this letter is a copy of the Public -Notice that is being published to announce the planned extension of
your permit. After Public Notice has been made by the Division, the expiration date of your permit will be
changed via a permit modification. No draft permit will be sent out with the Public Notice, as none of the
conditions in the existing permit will be modified.
The Division appreciates your patience and understanding to date regarding the rescheduling of the subject
permit. If you have already submitted your renewal application package, no additional fees or documentation will
be required as a result of this change to your permit's expiration date.
If you have questions about this proposed modification or about the permit renewal process, contact Charles
Weaver of my staff at the telephone number or address listed below.

Subject: Draft NPDES Permit
Permit No. NC0005487
NC Finishing Plant
Rowan County
Dear Mr. Chandler:
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft permit for the above referenced facility. I encourage you
to review these documents very carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the information,
conditions, and requirements contained therein.
You should be aware that the following changes have been incorporated into your permit:
• The classification of this portion of the Yadkin changed to WS-V on 8/3/92.
• Modifications were made to description of existing treatment system.
• Due to the rules modification for classification of water pollution control treatment systems effective
April 1, 1999, monitoring for certain parameters has been increased from 3/week to daily.
Additionally, monitoring frequencies for instream parameters have changed to 3/Week, consistent
with the most recently updated version of the 2B .0500s for Class IV facilities. Monitoring for Total
Nitrogen and Phosphorus has changed to weekly. This change is consistent with an effort to gather
more information about nutrient loadings in this part of the watershed.
• Beginning August 1, 2000, BOD5, TSS, COD, Sulfide, Phenols, and Total Chromium limits will
change. Concentration limits have also been included for Total Chromium after this date to ensure
water quality standards are not exceeded.
• Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) testing requirement has changed from Acute to a Chronic Pass/Fail
at 12%. This change reflects mixing model predictions about dilution (see below), as well as a more
recent Division policy regarding toxicity testing requirements. Please note also that toxicity
monitoring must occur in conjunction with toxicant (e.g., metals) monitoring. This change will
ensure that data may be compared in the future.

r
• Up- and Downstream Turbidity monitoring was added. This portion of the Yadkin is not supporting
its uses, and according to the Basinwide Plan, the problem parameter identified was turbidity.
• Aluminum and Iron monitoring 2/Month has been added. Filter backwash contributes 0.165 MGD to
the WWTP, and these are associated pollutants of concern.
• Sulfate and Manganese monitoring 2/Month has been added. Each of these parameters was listed on
the renewal application as potential contaminants in the discharge, and each has a water quality
standard for Water -Supply (WS) waters. If data indicate these contaminants do not have reasonable
potential to exceed water quality standards, monitoring may be removed upon next renewal. The
facility may also request a modification to remove monitoring after twelve (12) months of data have
been collected.
• Chloride and Fluoride monitoring 2/Month has been added. Each of these was detected in the
Priority Pollutant Analysis submitted, and both have standards in WS waters. If data indicate these
contaminants do not have reasonable potential to exceed water quality standards, monitoring may be
removed upon next renewal. The facility may also request a modification to remove monitoring
after twelve (12) months of data have been collected.
• MBAS monitoring 2/Month has been added. The renewal application and information gathered
during a site visit indicates that the process could be contributing significant amounts of surfactants.
• Detection levels for nutrients were specified for consistency with other permits.
Effluent Limitations based on Categorical Guidelines
Mass limit changes reflect revised calculations of the effluent limitations based on federal guidelines for
this industry. Monthly averages were calculated using the highest monthly average of daily production
in the past three years, and all limits reflect appropriate significant figures.
Mixing Model
Because this facility discharges to the portion of the Yadkin just upstream of High Rock Lake, dilution
occurs in a slow -moving system. Therefore, instantaneous mixing is not an appropriate assumption on
which to base limits. A CORMIX model was used to predict dilution of the discharge for this facility,
using information collected during a site visit conducted on January 15, 1999. The model predicted that
where the discharge plume reaches approximately one third (1/3) the width of the river under low flow
conditions, dilution would be 8.3:1. Because the Division imposed the same zone of mixing for the
Town of Salisbury just upstream of NC Finishing, the equivalent instream waste concentration (12%) at
this point in the river was also used to derive the WET limit for the NC Finishing Plant.
Please review the draft permit carefully and submit any comments to David Goodrich no later than thirty
(30) days following receipt at the following address:

SPECIAL CONDITIONS
A (3). CHRONIC TOXICITY PASSNAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia
at an effluent concentration of 12 %.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the "North Carolina
Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent versions or "North Carolina Phase II
Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed
during the months of February, May, August, and November. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the
NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV below the permit limit, then
multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in each of the two following months as described in "North
Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions.
The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the highest concentration
having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest concentration that does have a detectable impairment
of reproduction or survival. The definition of "detectable impairment," collection methods, exposure regimes, and further
statistical methods are specified in the "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -
February 1998) or subsequent versions.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form
(MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the parameter code TGP3B for the pass/fail results and TBP3B for
the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Quality
Environmental Sciences Branch
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch no later than 30 days after the end
of the reporting period for which the report is made.
Test data shall be complete, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all concentration/response data,
and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved designate signature. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity
sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, the permittee will
complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe
number, county, and the month/year of the report with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall
be submitted to the Environmental Sciences Branch at the address cited above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, monitoring will be required during
the following month.
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.

Attn: Mr. John Lesley
Dear Mr. Lesley:
This transmittal is to communicate noncompliance events at North Carolina Finishing Company
Wastewater Facility (NC0005487) in Spencer, NC. On January 17, 2001, we became aware that
Effluent Total Suspended Solids exceeded the daily maximum on December 22, 26, and 27, 2000.
Those values were 9706.1 Ibs/day, 11936.8 Ibs/day, and 21057.5 Ibs/day respectively.
Also, COD was noncompliant on December 22, 2000 with a reported value of 25268.9 Ibs/day.
The cause was a result of excessive solids retention in plant process units and wasting to effluent by
hydraulic loading above manageable levels.
This type of event may occur again on a sporadic basis when flows are higher than anticipated if the
permitee does not reduce aerated solids very substantially.
The permitee has not been made aware of these results, as the permitee is not currently known by us.
Thank you,

Special Deputy Atto ey.General
FROM: Tommy Steven I
SUBJECT: Request for Injunctive Relief
Color Tex International
NC Finishing Co.WWTP
NPDES Permit NC0005487
Rowan County.
Color Tex International is the owner of a textile manufacturing facility known as N. C.
Finishing Company, located in Spencer in Rowan County. This plant is served by a 4.25 MGD
wastewater treatment plant permitted to Color Tex under NPDES permit NC0005487.
All operations at the plant abruptly ceased on September 28, 2000. On October 5, 2000,
Color Tex began Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. On October 6, 2000, a trustee was
appointed by the bankruptcy court. After the plant shutdown, the WWTP was minimally
operated — the ORC stayed on for a while, but was unable to perform his duties adequately
because power and water to the plant had been cut off. The trustee took steps to address
wastewater and security concerns and hired a contract operator to oversee WWTP operations.
However, on December 13, 2000, the -Chapter 11 case was dismissed by the bankruptcy court,
which has essentially created a situation where no person or entity is accepting responsibility for
the site. The WWTP operator ceased visiting the WWTP when his contract expired at the end of
December.
The WWTP is not receiving process wastewater, but stormwater at the site is routed
through the system. The WWTP is also full of sludge. A recent inspection of the site found the
WWTP discharging a dark effluent with a moderate amount of suspended solids. It is feared that
a heavy rain event could wash significant amounts of solids out of the plant and into the
receiving waters. It is clear that immediate action is necessary in order to ensure the continued
proper operation of this facility and prevent the occurrence of a devastating pollution episode.

Subject: Modification of NPDES'Permit No. NC000548.7i.'
NC Finishing plant
Rowan County
Dear Permittee:
The Division is beginning the second five-year cycle of river basin planning and permit renewals. An
examination of the basin planning schedule has revealed that the timing of permit renewals does not
allow an evenly distributed workload as first envisioned. This results in problems with the efficiency
and effectiveness of the NPDES program. In an effort improve customer service, and after thorough
review of the water quality issues in your area, the Division is changing the permit renewal schedule for
all NPDES permits in your sub -basin.
This permit modification changes the expiration date of the subject permit to June 30, 1999. Please
fmd enclosed the revised permit cover page. Insert the new cover page into your permit and discard the

involved (municipals only)? No
2. Special monitoring or limitations (including toxicity) requests: This facility has color in
it's effluent, and should be included in any study or listing of facilities discharging color
in this region. The need for monitoring of effluent color should be examined during the
promulgation of the WLA since this Office has received complaints regarding in stream
color from this facility in the past.
Important SOC/JOC or Compliance Schedule dates: N/A
4. Alternative Analysis Evaluation: N/A
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
N.C. Finishing (NCF) requests renewal of the subject Permit. No changes and/or
modifications to the Permit with regards to the existing WWT facilities are proposed at this time.
In previous Permits for this facility, effluent limitations were promulgated based on
Categorical Guidelines found in CFR: Part 410-Textile Mills. These guidelines allowed the
permittee to discharge significant amounts of pollutants (with mass based limitations) as a result
of low in stream waste concentrations. The Division now has the opportunity to review these
limitations by comparing them with WQ limits. If the WQ limits are more stringent than the
mass based limits, WQ limits will be assigned. Past in stream data (including SOD data)
collected below NCF indicates this facility may be a significant contributor to the total in stream
pollutant loading. Also, High Rock Lake has been identified by the Division as being nutrient
impacted, therefore, a reduction in the nutrient loading from NCF (as well as others dischargers
in the Yadkin basin) should help enhance WQ in the lake. Based on current effluent data, NCF
may find it difficult, if not impossible to comply with WQ based parameters. This Office
recommends that the Modeling Group carefully examine the need for WQ based limitations and
apply them where necessary not only for protection of WQ, but to be consistent with the effluent
limitations given to other point source dischargers downstream of this outfall. Upon receipt of
the draft WLA and a review by MRO and NCF personnel, it may be necessary to develop a
schedule of compliance for the construction of additional WWT facilities that could be included
in the NPDES Permit prior to reissuance.

Page Four
Pending receipt and approval of the WLA, it is recommended that the NPDES Pen -nit be
reissued, with an appropriate compliance schedule, if necessary. The new permit should list
Color -Tex as the permittee with the discharge originating from the North Carolina Finishing
Plant.

STANT ARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
SECTIOti A. DEHNTITIONS
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. ENIC
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
i;SC 1251, et. seq.
5. Mass/Dav Measurements
The "monthly ayeraze discharce" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharizes
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 Pan I of the
permit.
b. The "v-•eekly 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.

Pan 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" to
Part I of the permit.
b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar week
(Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the
number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week (arithmetic mean of
the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration
of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by
flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count
for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during
a calendar week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other Limits" in
Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a
calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration of
pollutant calculated from it is the "Maximum Daily Concentration". It is identified as
"Daily Maximum" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
d . The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar year on
which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily
discharges sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a
composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow
value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day . The average yearly count for
fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar year. This limitation is identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits" in
Part I of the permit.
e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the minimum allowable amount
of dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge averaged
over a calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a calendar day, the
sample is considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the discharge. It is
identified as "daily average" in the text of Part I.
f. The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a calendar
quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I of the permit.
g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through
March, April through June, July through September, and October through December.

Part Il

7. Other 'Measurements
a. Flow. (NIGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow,
averaged month]}'. 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 Itimes 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
indiN idual 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
s%*stem, 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 inten•al between effluent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time
of treater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at time
intervals evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in number of hours to the
detention time of the system in number of days. However, in no case may the time interval
between effluent grab samples be greater than six (6) hours nor the number of samples less
than four (4) during a 24 hour sampling period.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not
exceeding.15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. Grab samples must be
representative of the discharge or the receiving waters.
9. Calculation of Means
Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of an), 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
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 Da,,.,
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.

2. Proper Operation and Maintenance
The permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of
treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the permittee to
achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit. Proper operation and maintenance also
includes adequate laboratory controls and appropriate quality assurance procedures. This
provision requires the operation of back-up or auxiliary facilities or similar systems which are
installed by a permittee only when the operation is necessary to achieve compliance with the
conditions of the permit.
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
necessan• 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 Il, 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 fac:iities, retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal

Pan II
Page 9 of 14
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
do, ntime or preventive maintenance; and
(C) The permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph c. of this section.
(2) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its
adverse affects, if the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three
conditions listed above in Paragraph d. (1) of this section.
5. Upsets
a. Definition.
"Upset " means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary
noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors
beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance
to 'the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities,
inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper
operation.
b . Effect of an upset.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with
such technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this
condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that
noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final
administrative action subject to judicial review.
c. Conditions necessary- for a demonstration of upset.
permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate,
through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that:
(1) .fin upset occurred and that the permittee canidentify the cause(s) of the upset;
(2) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated: and

definitive in E.P.A. Document 600/4-85/013 entitled "The Acute Toxicity of Effluents to
Freshwater and Marine Organisms.„ The monitoring shall be performed as a Daphnia pulex or
Ceriodaphnia 48 hour static test, using effluent collected as a 24 hour composite. The LC50 of this
effluent using the previously stated methodology may at no time in any toxicity test be less than
64%. Effluent samples for self -monitoring purposes must be obtained during representative
effluent discharge below all waste treatment. The first test will be performed after thirty days from
the effective date of this permit during the months of February, May, August and November.
The parameter code for this test if using Daphnia pulex is TAA3D. The parameter code for this test
if using Ceriodaphnia is TAA3B. 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 appropriate parameter code. Additionally, DEM Form AT-1

Permit #NC0005487
WION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT Fieldcrest Mills, Inc.
MOORESVILLE REGIONAL OFFICE Rowan County
Dear Mr. Rowell:
On August 15, 1994, the Division of Environmental Manage_ ment issued NPDES Permit No.
NC0005487 to Fieldcrest Mills, Inc. In response to your letter dated July 28, 1994, regarding the draft
permit, the following comments/modifications are offered:
• Future increase in BOD5 limits - This would require a modification to the latest permit. Projected
production data would have to be submitted and appropriate limits determined from the Federal
Guideline. These would be evaluated for the receiving stream at that time.
• Monitoring frequencies for COD, sulfide, chromium and phenol - These have all been changed from
3/week to weekly as requested.
• Instream monitoring for chlorophyll a - This requirement shall remain, however, the instream
monitoring requirement for nutrient related parameters will not be required until June 1995. This
information is needed to determine whether nutrient limits will be required for discharges to the
headwaters of High Rock Lake. Dilution by instream flow is not the determining factor in algal bloom
potential, rather residence time and localized hydrology are important. This facility's discharge is to the
headwaters of a lake where free flowing conditions may not always occur. Also, in stratified lakes,
blooms may be fed by nutrient releases from the sediment under anoxic conditions. Therefore, a
submerged discharge may not be more beneficial in reducing bloom potential than a surface discharge.
The requirement to monitor for these parameters has been included in a number of permits with
discharges to High Rock Lake. This data will be reviewed as part of the Yadkin River basinwide data
review in 1997.
Please insert the enclosed effluent sheets into the existing permit and discard the old sheets. This
permit modification becomes effective upon the effective date of the permit.
All other. terms and conditions in the original permit remain unchanged and in full effect. These
modifications are 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.
If this modification is 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

Wasteload Allocation Summary
.(approach taken. correspondence with region. EPA. etc.)
NC Finishing discharges to the headwaters of High Rock Lake. There is a visible plume under low flow
conditions. The lake is not meeting its uses. Algal blooms occur throughout the lake due to eutrophic conditions;
High SODS were measured near the outfall. Original limits were based on the dilution provided by the 7Q10.
This assumes complete mixing across the river. However, this discharge is to the headwaters of a lake. A USGS
study indicates that even in the riverine portion of the Yadkin River, complete mixing is not acheived for 10 miles
under low flow conditions.- DEM staff have observed NC Finishing's plume under summer conditions. There is
little near -field mixing. A field calibrated model of the Yadkin River from Muddy Creek to the headwaters of
High Rock Lake may be completed for the basin plan. At this time, i.e., the 1998 permit renewal,. new limits may
be required. In addition, nutrient limits may be required upon completion of a management plan for High Rock
Lake. The facility should note that Salisbury is planning to construct a new WWTP nearby which is expected to
have the capacity to accept the textile .waste.

TOXICS/METALS
Type of Toxicity Test: Acute, quarterly
Existing Limit: LC50 64%
Recommended Limit: LC50 64%
Monitoring Schedule: February, May, August, November
* The current toxicity test requirement is based on a riverine discharge; the
7Q10 is not appropriate at the headwaters of a lake since instantaneous mixing
does not occur. Without a diffuser, there is little initial mixing provided by the
outfall. Our model suggests near field mixing of only 2.4: 1. This would
suggest a chronic toxicity test at 40%. If there is a diffuser, the facility should
provide blueprints of the existing design in order to allow for a more applicable
toxicity test.

ACUTE TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)
The permittee shall conduct acute toxicity tests on a quarterly basis using protocols defined as definitive in E.P.A.
Document 600/4-85/013 entitled "The Acute Toxicity of Effluents to Freshwater and Marine Organisms." The
monitoring shall be performed as a Da hnia ul x or Ceriodaphnia 48 hour static test, using effluent collected as a
24 hour composite. The LC50 of this effluent using the previously stated methodology may at no time in any
toxicity test be less than %. Effluent samples for self -monitoring purposes must be obtained during
representative effluent discharge below all waste treatment. The first test will be performed after thirty days from
the effective date of this permit during the months of / ,A-! , A,)6 !) c5V
The parameter code for this test if using Daphnia pulex is TAA3D. The parameter code for this test if using
Ceriodaphnia is TAA3B. 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 appropriate
parameter code. 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 either these monitoring requirements 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 iri bal -monitoring event). Failure to submit suitable test results willconstitute
noncompliance with monitoring requirements.

SLUDGE PLAN
NORTH CAROLINA FINISHING COMPANY
This facility currently has 40 acres permitted for, residuals -
application Permit No. WQ0004857. This site is adjacent to the
WWTP but is limited by the nitrogen content of the sludge. In July
1993 Fieldcrest Cannon, Inc. submitted under contract -with S&ME,
Inc. an application for an additional 459 acres of farmland. We
hope to receive this permit by early fall 1993.
Our operational schedule for 1994 is to

more than 5 MG per year.
Sludge management consists of wasting sludge as deemed necessary to
aerobic digesters. There it is aerated and thickened for at least
60 days. In the past two years we have contracted for mobil
dewatering of the sludge to produce cake solids. This has been
stored in the drying beds until land application could be
scheduled. Liquid application will be more cost effective by
eliminating double handling of the sludge.
When the 459 acres is permitted, the thicken sludge will be removed
from the digesters by tanker truck and transported to the fields.
If the sludge is stabilized for 60 days we can generate the 5 MG as
scheduled each year.
Once we begin wasting at. this rate the quality of the effluent
should improve. This should provide adequate treatment to meet the
lower BOD limits of the new permit.

ENGINEERING ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS
NORTH CAROLINA FINISHING COMPANY
This WWTP.is designed to treat 4.25 MGD. The facility was designed
in the early 70's and revisions were made to the system in 1977, to
divide the 10MG aerated lagoon into a 6 MG Equalization Basin and
a 4 MG Activated Sludge Basin. At present the system. achieves a
BOD removal- of 90-95%. BOD is the limiting factor in effluent.
quality. If this is met all other parameters are in compliance.
Considering the organic strength of the incoming wastewater,
activated sludge treatment is the most effective alternative.
Maintaining a viable biomass is the key to efficient operation.
This should be maintained by the additional sludge wasting capacity
that is planned.
With the low concentrations of pollutants detected in the APA,
there should be no concern of this discharge having any impact on
the water quality of the Yadkin River-.
This system operates with.a high electrical demand but minimal
chemical costs. During the past two years additional expenses have
been incurred for sludge management. When considering all these
costs our total treatment expenses are less than what our sewer
charges are for direct discharges to POTW. Therefore, conclusions
should be made that this is the most efficient and cost effective
treatment process for this type of wastewater.

5. Sludge Handling and Disposal Scheme: According to Mr.
Vernon F. Wilkerson, Director of Engineering & Services of
the Company, the two (2) aerobic digesters and eight (8)
sludge drying beds were eliminated as treatment process in
1977. Sludge accumulated in the secondary clarifiers is
returned through three (3) sludge pumps to aeration basin
where it reacts and interacts with incoming flow to
perpetuate the treatment process. Thus, there is no excess
sludge generated from this facility that needs to be
disposed of by other means.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
A review of the past monthly self -monitoring reports, from
September, 1986 to August 1987, indicated that this facility is
in compliance with the effluent limits of the existing Permit.
In his letter dated September 28, 1987, Mr. Chris Zeger,
Technical Manager, North Carolina Finishing Company, submitted a
recent report of Effluent Toxicity Testing prepared by Research
& Analytical Laboratories, Inc., in complying with the request
of the Division of Environmental Management. The test result
indicated that the effluent discharged from this facility has
met the Toxicity limits of the State for the designated
receiving water (reported value, LC50 = >90%; theoretical value,
LC50 = >74%).
It was noted on the day of the investigation that there are
signs of sludge buildup in the aeration basin. It was also
observed that there were small lumps of dried sludge scattered
along the bank of the basin. All these indicate that a proper
sludge management scheme should be developed to optimize the
facility performance and to avoid noncompliance with effluent
limits.
It is recommended that the NPDES Permit be renewed as
requested by the applicant. In the interim, an acceptable

sludge disposal scheme for this plant is required to be
developed and submitted to the Division.

ACUTE TOXICITY TESTING REQUIREMENT (QRTRLY)
Daphnid 48 hr - LC50
The permittee shall conduct acute toxicity tests on a Quarterly basis using protocols defined in
E.P.A. Document 600/4-85/013 entitled 'Ile Acute Toxicity ulox of Effluents to Freshwater and
Marine Organisms" The monitoring shall. be performed as a Daphnia por Ceriodaphnia
4$ hour static test, using effluent collected as a 24 hour composite. The LC50 of this effluent
using the previously stated methodology may not at any time be less than%. Effluent samples
for self -monitoring purposes must be obtained during representative effluent discharge below all
waste treatment. The first test -will be performed after thirry_davc from issuance of this permit
during the months of ;��/ ,Ava!
The parameter code for this test if using paphnia 1%is TAA31). The parameter code for this test
if using Ceriodapfinia is TAMB. 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 appropriate parameter code. Additionally, DEM Form 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 doseiresponse 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.test data f-om
.either these monitoring -requirements 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 a failure of permit condition.

_ Daphnid 48 hr - LC50
- e pernuttee-shall conduct acute toxic tests on a - _ ty. - Qua :le basis using protocols defined.in
E.P.A. Document 600/4-85/013 entitled The Acute Tonicity of Effluents to_Freshwaterand .
Marine Organisms". The monitoring shall be performe-das a hnia pulex or Ceriodaphnia
48 hour static.test,.using effluenfcollected as a 24 hour composite. - The-LC5 of this effluent
using----------
the previously stated methodology -may not at any time be less than %. Effluent samples
-for self -monitoring purposes must be -obtained during representative effluent discharge below all
waste treatment. The first test will be performed Ater rhLM d[Iy� from issuance of this permit
_ during the months of Feb, , ,¢i r,+ qc oy The parameter code for this test if using Daphnia pulex is TAA3D. The parameter code for this test
if using _ riodaphnia is TAA3B. _- 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 appropriate parameter code. Additionally, DEM Form 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 doselmsponse 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 test data from either these monitoring requirements or tests performed by the Nortb.
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 a failure of permit condition.
