Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
When calling, on April 6, 2008, to set up an inspection at Clement Pappas I learned that non -contact cooling
water had not been discharged from the facility for approximately two years. A cooling tower has been
installed to allow the recycling of cooling water. Mike Puttick says that the Company would like to keep their
discharge permit for a while. Water is used to cool filled bottles to the point that labels will adhere to the
bottles. On June 3, 2008 1 visited the site. The discharge pipe is located a few feet down stream of the foot
bridge over Mud Creek. No discharge was observed. The Company has a fairly elaborate lockout system to
insure that a release does not accidentally occur.

NPDES Permit Requirements
Page l of 16
PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
Section A. Definitions
2/Month
Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events.
3/Week
Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days.
Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq.
Annual Average
The arithmetic mean of all "daily* discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal
coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Arithmetic Mean —
The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
Bypass
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.
Calendar Dav
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.
Calendar Quarter
One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December.
Composite Sample
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 ml in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The
Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time
interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically.
Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24.hour
period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample
collection, or
(3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period
with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling
point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and
totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no ,greater than 1 /24 of the
expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or
(4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at
a constant time interval. This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary
less than 15 percent. The grab samples shall be taken at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart

In accordance with (4) above, influent grab samples shall not be collected more than once per hour.
Effluent grab samples shall not be collected more than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems
having a detention time of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at
intervals evenly spaced over the 24-hour period that are equal in number of hours to the detention time of the
system in number of days. However, the interval between effluent grab samples may not exceed six hours nor
the number of samples less than four during a 24-hour sampling period.
Continuous flow measurement
Flow monitoring that occurs 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.
Daily Dis_ ch ewe
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as
the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. The "daily discharge" concentration comprises the mean
concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the arithmetic mean of all
grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.3)
Daily Maximum
The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month.
Daily Sampling
Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the
permit. The Division expects that sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other
disruptions of normal operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week
for any permit parameter(s), that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s).
DWQ or "the Division"
The Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
EMC
The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
Facility Closure
The cessation of wastewater treatment at a permitted facility, or the cessation of all activities that require coverage
under the NPDES. Completion of facility closure will allow this permit to be rescinded.
Geometric Mean
The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of
calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection level]") shall be considered =1.
Grab Sample —
Individual samples of at least 100 ml collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be
collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream
samples).
Hazardous Substance
Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.
Instantaneous flow measurement
A measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total
discharge.

Re: Cranberry Juice Spill- 7/30/05
Larry,
On Saturday July 30' at approx 4:00 PM, I was informed that a seal on a tank
had leaked and some of the juice from the tank went into an unsealed drain,
allowing single strength cranberry juice to get to an un-named tributary of Mud
Creek. I immediately had our people get our pump truck and pump all of the
juice we could out of the tributary. I estimate we ended up losing 5-10 gallons
of juice that was non -recoverable in the creek.
The drain has since been sealed permanently with concrete and any further
failures of a tank seal will be contained within that area of the plant and directed
to our waste collection system for disposal.
As requested attached is a copy of our spill response plan (11.0)
If you should have any questions, please call.
Thanks,

Clement Pappas NC, Inc.
EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN
1.0 Evacuation Procedures:
In the event that the emergency fire alarm signal is sounded, all employees should
leave the plant quickly and orderly through the nearest safe exit and proceed to
the designated rally point at the far corner of the main employee parking lot. No
employee will fight the fire. Fire extinguishers will be used only if needed to
attain the escape route. Move away from the exit doors quickly so as not to
hamper any emergency operations. When moving through the parking lot to the
rally point, be alert for emergency vehicles which may be responding to the
situation. Locations of emergency exits are shown on the drawing included in this
plan and posted at various locations throughout the plant.
All employees are required to proceed to the designated rally point so that a head
count can be made and everyone can be accounted for. This procedure is covered
in Section 3 of this report.
Certain designated employees will remain behind to carry out shut -down
operations before they too must evacuate the building. These designated
employees will be properly trained in what to do in case of an emergency. These
procedures are covered in Section 4 of this report.
All Department Supervisors and Managers have been trained to assist in the safe
and orderly evacuation of the plant.
2.0 Emergency Escape Routes:
Evacuation routes have been established for the various areas in the plant.
Depending on employee location, the nearest exit should be taken during an
emergency situation. A copy of the escape route procedure is posted in each work
area and each employee has been instructed as to what route to follow and where
to go in case of a fire or other emergency. A copy of the escape route procedure
is included in the appendix.
In the event that an employee is assigned to a new department, the supervisor of
that department will instruct the employee in the escape procedure to follow for
the new work area.
3.0 Employee Accountability:
In making an evacuation, it is extremely important to make sure that all
employees are accounted for and that no one is left behind in the building. Before
leaving, the Supervisor of each department (or his designee) must check each

room or enclosed space to make sure that no one is trapped or otherwise unable to
evacuate and render assistance as required. The Supervisor must then proceed to
the rally point and make a head count of his or her employees. Each employee in
an assigned work area will be accounted for by name. The Supervisor will then
notify the Emergency Coordinator (or Alternate) that all employees have been
accounted for. During the evacuation process, the Emergency Coordinator (or
Alternate) will be stationed at the rally point at the far corner of the main parking
lot to receive status reports.
4.0 Shutdown Procedures:
Certain plant operations and manufacturing processes must be shut down in an
orderly manner in the event that an evacuation is necessary. In all areas of the
plant, those employees who operate equipment should shut down the machine
they are operating before leaving the plant. All other employees should leave
immediately.
Those employees who will be performing shutdown operations have been trained
in the proper procedures so that their safety can be assured in carrying out their
assignment.
5.0 Fire Alarm System:
In the event of a fire or other emergency which requires evacuation of the plant, a
fire alarm horn will be sounded. The fire alarm horn is a distinctive signal that is
only used for this purpose, and is to be recognized as a signal to evacuate the
work area or perform actions designated under the emergency action plan. From
time to time, evacuation drills will be conducted in order to test the reliability of
the fire alarm system and as a means to provide continuous training for employees
to ensure their understanding of evacuation procedures. The fire alarm hom may
be activated in one of several ways — manual pull down stations, heat sensors,
smoke detectors, or the sprinkler system. In any case, when the alarm sounds, all
employees are to carry out evacuation procedures. Any employee who observes a
fire, a chemical release, or other emergency which requires outside response is
instructed to pull the nearest fire alarm handle, then dial 9-911 if possible to
report the incident, then follows the evacuation procedure by leaving the plant at
the nearest safe exit. There are four pull box stations in the plant at the following
locations:
a. Production Department — on the wall beside the main employee entrance.
b. Receiving Warehouse — on the wall next to the four receiving docks.
c. Processing Department — beside the overhead door, next to the Maintenance
Shop.
d. Shipping Warehouse — on the wall next to the shipping docks.

The alarm circuitry in the plant is continuously monitored to detect any
malfunctions that may exist, such as a broken wire or loss of sprinkler system
water pressure. The monitoring panel is located at the main employee entrance,
just inside the entry doors. If a fault should occur, an audible sound will occur
and the location of the fault will be displayed. In addition, a, signal is
automatically sent to the In firm who installed and maintains the system, so that
the fault condition can be repaired.
6.0 In an emergency situation, it may become necessary to perform medical duties
including first aid treatment. All company employees assigned to perform such
duties have been trained to carry out their responsibilities properly and safely. A
conscious effort is made to have these trained employees assigned so as to have
these skills available on all shifts. A current list of employees trained in First Aid
and CPR is included in the Appendix.

A copy of the plant layout drawing is included in the Appendix to illustrate
locations of first aid supplies and emergency eye wash stations as well as other
emergency equipment. Copies of this drawing are also posted at various locations in the
plant to notify all employees.

7.0 WORKPLACE FIRE HAZARD PROCEDURES:
7.1 Flammable Material Storage
Flammable materials such as cleaning solvents and oils are used in four main
locations - the plant Maintenance Shop, the Production Maintenance Shop, the Lift
Truck Repair Shop and the Parts Room. In additions, certain flammable chemicals
are used in the Quality Control Laboratory. In each of these locations, a UL approved
flammable material storage cabinet is provided for storage of the flammable materials
so as to protect the materials from any heat or ignition sources. Employees who may
use these materials have been instructed in the hazards associated with them and in
the proper handling and storing procedures.
7.2 Propane Storage
Portable tanks used for lift truck operations are kept in approved storage racks. All
lift truck drivers are responsible for filling their own tanks and have been trained, in
the proper procedure for handling and filling them. All lift trucks are equipped with
fire extinguishers and the drivers have been instructed in their use.
7.3 Welding and Cutting Operations
All welding and cutting operations are performed by qualified Maintenance
Mechanics who have been trained in those procedures necessary to assure that the
welding equipment is maintained in good order and that the work is done in a safe
manner. In most cases, work is brought to one of two designated areas for cutting or
welding — the Plant Maintenance Shop or the Production Maintenance Shop. If work
cannot be moved to one of those areas, then necessary precautions must be taken at
the work site to either remove combustible materials from the area or provide
protection for those materials so that welding or cutting sparks would not cause a fire
to be started. If necessary, a fire watcher will be available at the work site. All
portable welding equipment is provided with fire extinguishers, and Maintenance
personnel are instructed in their use.
7.4 Battery Charging
Electrically powered lift trucks are used in the Shipping Warehouse. There is no
inherent hazard with finished product stored in the Warehouse but there are
precautions necessary for battery charging. A designated area is provided for this
purpose. All lift truck drivers have been instructed in the proper procedure for
handling and charging of batteries. Precautions have been taken to prevent sparks or
electric arcs in this area and fire protection equipment is readily available.

7.5 Smoking policy
Smoking is prohibited in the plant. This policy essentially eliminates smoking as a
potential ignition source in the plant.
7.6 Fire Protection Equipment
The Receiving Warehouse including the Parts Room and Production Maintenance
Shop, Blending Department, Processing Department, Boiler Room, Label Room and
Plant Maintenance Shop are all protected by a sprinkler system. All other areas of the
plant including those just mentioned are provided with portable fire extinguishers.
Hose stations are located in the Receiving Warehouse. Portable fire extinguishers are
inspected monthly. If an extinguisher has been used to control a minor fire, it must be
turned in to the Parts Room for servicing and a report must be made out as to why it
was discharged. This procedure provides a means to investigate the factors involving
the incident to see if something is lacking in the fire prevention plan and take steps to
correct these problems. A plant layout drawing is included in the Appendix to
illustrate the location of fire extinguishers and other fire protection equipment.
7.7 Control of Fuel Source Hazards
7.71 Propane Storage
The propane storage tank is located outside the building in a fenced -area,
approximately 100 feet from the building. Access to the tank and filling
equipment is limited to those personnel involved in filling portable tanks for lift
truck operation. The tank and filling equipment is owned by the supplier of
propane who is responsible for regular inspections and maintenance of the
equipment.
7.72 Natural Gas
Inspection of the natural gas regulator, meter and associated equipment at the gas
entry point is performed by the Public Gas Service Company. Checking for leaks
or other equipment problems is part of their weekly checklist.
7.73 Fuel Oil
The supply point for fuel oil is an above ground storage tank located near the
Scales. The fuel oil pump, lines and filter are checked for leaks on a daily basis
by Plant Maintenance Department personnel.
8.0 HOUSEKEEPING PROCEDURES

Flammable and ignitable waste materials must be controlled and disposed of so
that such materials do not accumulate and become a fire hazard or contribute to
the severity of a fire. Control of these materials is accomplished as follows:
A. Ordinary Trash
Waste paper, plastic wrapping, bags, containers and miscellaneous
trash are placed in containers provided for that purpose. When a
trash container is filled, it is taken to the trash dumpster outside the
plant and emptied. Dumping of trash containers and the dumpster
itself is a daily activity.
B. Cardboard Waste
Cardboard is a recyclable material and it is separated from other
forms of trash so that it can be placed in compactor.
C. Wood Pallets
Wood pallets accumulate in the Receiving Warehouse until a
truckload quantity is reached and they are then sent back to the
supplier of packaging materials. Pallets returned to the Shipping
Warehouse are sorted and reused on an ongoing basis. Those
pallets that are not usable due to damage are taken outside the plant
so that they do not accumulate inside the plant.
D. Plastic Drums
Plastic chemical product drums are rinsed, have holes drilled in
them and are then taken to the trash dumpster for disposal. This is
done on a routine basis when 4 — 8 empty drums are accumulated.
Drums from juice products are stored outside the building for
resale and/or use.
9.0 MAINTENANCE OF CONTROL EQUIPMENT
Two forced draft boilers are in operation at the plant. Both are equipped with an
air pressure switch requiring that positive pressure must exist before ignition can
occur. In addition, both boilers are equipped with flame failure controls which
will shut down the boilers if flame failure should occur. These devices are
visually inspected daily by Plant Maintenance Department personnel. An outside
engineering firm is engaged to perform quarterly inspections of boiler efficiency
and safety devices.

10.0 EMPLOYEE TRAINING
Employee training is involved in every aspect of the emergency action plan. Each
section of this plan includes some phase of training. Initial training is done at the
time an employee is hired and includes such activities as escape routes,
evacuation of the building, how to report a fire and proper response to the fire
alarm system. Additional training may be required when an employee is assigned
to another department or work area. This training is normally done by the
Supervisor of the department and includes such items as location of exits, where
the pull boxes are located and any special hazards relating to materials or
processes the employee may be exposed to. In the event that it becomes
necessary to revise the emergency action plan due to changes in the workplace or
changes in the law, all employees will receive additional training to ensure their
protection in the event of an emergency.
11.0 SPILL REPORT PROCEDURE
11.1 INCIDENTAL RELEASE
An incidental release or spill of a hazardous substance wholly contained on the
concrete floor of the facility where the substance can be absorbed, neutralized, or
otherwise controlled at the time of release by employees in the immediate release
area is not considered to be an emergency response.
11.2 ENVIRONMENTAL RELEASE .�� X74 ;ZS a�
A release of a hazardous chemical into the environment requires that a �Trtf&
made if the release exceeds the reportable quantity for that substance.
Notification must be made to the local emergency planning commission and to the
State emergency response commission.
Emergency phone numbers are:
Local Emergency Planning Commission
693-8411
State Emergency Response Commission
800-662-7956 (Non -business hours)
919-733-5291 (Business hours)
National Response Center
800-424-8802
11.3 CONTENTS OF REPORT
1. Name of chemical and Chemical Abstract Service number

2. An indication of whether the substance is extremely hazardous
3. An estimate of the quantity released into the environment
4. Time and duration of the release
5. The medium into which the release occurred (air, stream, ground).
6. Any known or anticipated acute or chronic health risks
7. Proper precautions such as. evacuation
8. Name and telephone number of contact person
11.4 AMMONIA RELEASE
The refrigeration system at this plant uses ammonia as the refrigerant. By its
nature, an accidental release of ammonia may pose some hazards which would
not be present with a release of the other chemicals we have in the plant. First of
all, ammonia has a very pungent, noxious odor which has an immediate effect on
the respiratory system. Secondly, the ammonia is under pressure in the .
refrigeration system, so even a very small leak can produce a large cloud of
fumes. While we have many other chemicals in the plant, none of them would be
expected to produce the same effects as ammonia; therefore special consideration
is required to handle emergency situations involving ammonia. An ammonia
release would be treated the same as any other hazardous chemical. If the release
is small, confined to the immediate release area, and can be controlled by
maintenance personnel, it is an incidental release and is not considered to be an
emergency response situation. A catastrophic release such as might occur due to
a ruptured ammonia line or pressurized vessel, a fire in the refrigeration room, or
any uncontrolled situation in which the airborne ammonia concentration exceeds"
50 PPM requires that the plant alarm be sounded and the plant be evacuated so
that outside assistance can be called in. Depending on where a release occurs in
the plant, it is possible that some exits may be blocked from safe travel. In this
case, all employees should be aware of alternative exits. The operation of the
refrigeration equipment is monitored daily by a maintenance mechanic who
makes regular checks on the equipment and keeps it in good repair. This
mechanic is trained in the operation of the system as well as in emergency
procedures. In addition, the refrigeration equipment has safety devices which
continuously monitor the operation and provide a warning to plant personnel
should some type of failure occur so that corrective action can be taken before an
emergency situation develops.

The water discharged via outfall 002 is non -contact cool ing water used excluseivly on production line number
2 cooler, at this time. The plant never mixes the discharged water with regular process cooling water and
only discharges occasionally, not a routine operation, this is a once through process.
Once used the water is pumped to and filtered through carbon filters, metered, treated with sulfite liquid
and chlorine level monitored. No biocides are in used. The water is then discharged.
The system appears to be well maintained, controled and operated. The monitoring requirements are being met.
The flow meter is calibrated annually, by plant personnel.

The plant appears to be well maintained. The management is proactive in the prevention and cleanup of spills
that may reach surface waters and has a SPPP.The plant was installing additionnal containment around the
dumpster area, it is recommended that a roof for this area be investigated, to minimize the amount of
stormwater processed in the WWTP.
It is also recommended that those areas where used pallets (those that may have been contaminated with
product). Process equipment that may contaiminated with product and any areas where a process occurs (i.e.- the
clump buster area) have secondary containment and/or be covered by --a roof.

To satisfy this requirement, your renewal package must be sent to the Division postmarked no later than July 4,
2005. Failure to request renewal by this date may result in a civil assessment of at least $500.00. Larger penalties
may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request.
If any wastewater discharge will occur after December 31, 2005, the current permit must be renewed.
Discharge of wastewater without a valid permit would violate North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1; unpermitted
discharges of wastewater may be assessed civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day.
If all wastewater discharge has ceased at your facility and you wish to rescind this permit, contact me at the
telephone number or address listed below.
Use the enclosed checklist to complete your renewal package. The checklist identifies the items you must
submit with the permit renewal application. If you have any questions, please contact me at the telephone number or

FORM \8
3510-11 , EPA NO EXPOSURE CERTIFICATION for Exclusion from
NPDES Storm Water Permitting
Submission of this No Exposure Certification constitutes notice that the entity identified in Section A does not require permit authorization for its storm water
discharges associated with industrial activity in the State identified in Section B under EPA's Storm Water Multi -Sector General Permit due to the existence
of a condition of no exposure.
A condition of no exposure exists at an industrial facility when all industrial materials and activities are protected by a storm resistant shelter to prevent
exposure to rain, snow, snowmelt, and/or runoff. Industrial materials or activities include, but are not limited to, material handling equipment or activities,
industrial machinery, raw materials, intermediate products, by-products, final products, or waste products. Material handling activities include the storage,
loading and unloading, transportation, or conveyance of any raw material, intermediate product, final product or waste product. A storm resistant shelter is
not required for the following industrial materials and activities:
— drums, barrels, tanks, and similar containers that are tightly sealed, provided those containers are not deteriorated and do not leak. "Sealed"
means.banded or otherwise secured and without operational taps or valves;
— adequately maintained vehicles used in material handling; and

I understand that I am obligated to submit a no exposure certification form once every five years to the NPDES permitting authority and, if requested, to
the operator of the local municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) into which the facility discharges (where applicable). I understand that I must
allow the NPDES permitting authority, or MS4 operator where the discharge is into the local MS4, to perform inspections to confirm the condition of no
exposure and to make such inspection reports publicly available upon request. I understand that I must obtain coverage under an NPDES permit prior
to any point source discharge of storm water from the facility.
Additionally, I certify under penalty of law that this document and all attachments were prepared under my direction or supervision in accordance with a
system designed to assure that qualified personnel properly gathered and evaluated the information submitted. Based on my inquiry of the person or

Roy,
Per our conversation, we have changed the system to remove the chlorine from
the discharge for the above permit and the pH is within limits. This is now a
charcoal filter system that does not use chemicals for treatment, thereby
reducing the potential for any pH violations.
If you should have any questions, please call.

STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
SECTION A. DEFINITIONS
1. Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Water Quality.
2. DEM or "the Division"
Means the Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources.
3. EMC
Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
4. Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 USC
1251, et. seq.
5. Mass/Day Measurements
a. The "monthly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled and
measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such
month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the pollutant found
each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were
reported. The Iimitation 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 feral coliform bacteria is the
geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar year. This limitation is
identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the minimum allowable amount of
dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge averaged over a
calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a calendar day, the sample is
considered to be the "daily average concentration' for the discharge. It is identified as "daily
average" in the text of Part I.
f. The "quarterly average concentration" is • the average of all samples taken over a calendar
quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I of the permit.
g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through March,
April through June, July through September, and October through December.

7. Other Measurements
a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow, averaged
monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the
calendar month.
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when
both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge.
c. A "continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility which occurs
continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be
monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for
infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device.
S. 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
(D.
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.

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 permuttee may allow any bypass to occur which -does not cause effluent limitations to be
exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation. These
bypasses are not subject to the provisions of Paragraphs c. and d. of this section.
c. Notice
(1) Anticipated bypass. If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall
submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass; including an
evaluation of the anticipated quality and affect of the bypass.
(2) Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as
required in Part II, E. 6. of this permit: (24 hour notice).
d. Prohibition of Bypass
(1) Bypass is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement action against
a permittee for bypass, unless:
(A) Bypass was unavoidable to. prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property
damage;
(B) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment
facilities, retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal periods of
equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup equipment should
have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass
which occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance,
and
(C) The permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph c. of this section.
(2) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its
adverse affects, if the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three
conditions listed above in Paragraph d. (1) of this section.

5. is
a. Definition.
"Upset " means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary
noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors beyond the
reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance to the extent
caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment
facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation.
b. Effect of an upset.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with such
technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this
condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that
noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action. for noncompliance, is final
administrative action subject to judicial review.
c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset.
A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate,
through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that.
(1) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset,
(2) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and
(3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II, E. 6. (b) (B) of this permit.
(4) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part IL B. 2. of this
permit.
d. Burden of proof.
In any enforcement proceeding the permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an upset has
the burden of proof.
6. Removed Substances
Solids, sludges, filter backwash, or other pollutants removed in the course of treatment or control of
wastewaters shall be utilized/disposed of in accordance with NCGS 143-2151 and in a manner such
as to prevent any pollutant from such materials from entering waters of the State or navigable
waters of the United States. The permittee shall comply with all existing federal regulations
governing the disposal of sewage sludge. Upon promulgation of 40 CFR Part 503, any permit issued
by the Permit Issuing Authority for the utilization/disposal of sludge may be reopened and
modified, or revoked and reissued, to incorporate applicable requirements at 40 CFR Part 503. The
permittee shall comply with applicable 40 CFR Part 503 Standards for the Use and Disposal of
Sewage Sludge (when promulgated) within the time provided in the regulation, even if the permit
is not modified to incorporate the requirement. The permittee shall notify the Permit Issuing
Authority of any significant change in its sludge use or disposal practices.
7. Power Failures
The permittee is responsible for maintaining adequate safeguards as required by DEM Regulation,
Title 15A, North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2H, .0124 Reliability, to prevent the
discharge of untreated or inadequately treated wastes during electrical power failures either by
means of alternate power sources, standby generators or retention of inadequately treated effluent.

3. Flow Measurements
Appropriate flow measurement devices and methods consistent with accepted scientific practices
shall be selected and used to ensure the accuracy and reliability of measurements of the volume of
monitored discharges. The devices shall be installed, calibrated and maintained to ensure that the
accuracy of the measurements are consistent with the accepted capability of that type of device.
Devices selected shall be capable of measuring flows with a maximum deviation of less than + 10%
from the true discharge rates throughout the range of expected discharge volumes. Once -through
condenser cooling water flow which is monitored by pump logs' or pump hour meters as specified in
Part I of this permit and based on the manufacturer's pump curves shall not be subject to this
requirement.
4. Test Procedures
Test procedures for the analysis of pollutants shall conform to the EMC regulations published

Amended, and Regulation 40 CFR 136, or in the case of sludge use or disposal, approved under 40
CFR 136, unless otherwise specified in 40 CFR 503, unless other test procedures have been specified
in this permit.
To meet the intent of the monitoring required by this permit, all test procedures must produce
minimum detection and reporting levels that are below the permit discharge requirements and all
data generated must be reported down to the minimum detection or lower reporting level of the
procedure. If no approved methods are determined capable of achieving minimum detection and
