Holly LLC NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 1of18 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. These samples shall be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period. 3/Week Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. These samples shall be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period. Act or"the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act,also known as the Clean Water Act(CWA),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 Day 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 Week The period from Sunday through the following Saturday. 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 Version 11/09/2011 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 2 of 18 (4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at a constant time interval.Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director.This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent.The following restrictions also apply: ➢ Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters ➢ Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour. ➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time<24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period. ➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at least every six hours;there must be a minimum of four samples 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 Discharge The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day for purposes of sampling.For pollutants measured in units of mass,the"daily discharge"is calculated as the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day.For pollutants expressed in other units of measurement,the "daily discharge"is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the day.(40 CFR 122.2;see also "Composite Sample,"above.) 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. 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. Effluent Wastewater discharged following all treatment processes from a water pollution control facility or other point source whether treated or untreated. EMC The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission EPA The United States Environmental Protection Agency Facility Closure Cessation of all activities that require coverage under this NPDES permit. 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). Version 11/09/2011 • • NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 3of18 Hazardous Substance Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the CWA. Instantaneous flow measurement The flow measured during the minimum time required for the flow measuring device or method to produce a result in that instance. To the extent practical,instantaneous flow measurements coincide with the collection of any grab samples required for the same sampling period so that together the samples and flow are representative of the discharge during that sampling period. Monthly Average(concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all"daily discharges"of a pollutant measured during the calendar month.In the case of fecal coliform or other bacterial parameters or indicators,the geometric mean of such discharges. Permit Issuing Authority The Director of the Division of Water Quality. Quarterly Average(concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all samples taken over a calendar quarter. Severe property damage 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 excludes economic loss caused by delays in production. Toxic Pollutant: Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1)of the CWA. Upset An incident beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee causing unintentional and temporary noncompliance with permit effluent limitations and/or monitoring requirements.An upset does not include noncompliance caused by operational error,improperly designed treatment facilities,inadequate treatment facilities,lack of preventive maintenance,or careless or improper operation.

Indicate which discharge points, if more than one. d)Volume of discharge per each discharge point(in GPD). e) Describe the type of process the wastewater is being discharged from..... All of the following flows will be discharged as non-point runoff similar to the existing stormwater discharge. The flow rates in GPD are also listed. The total is estimated at 5,200 GPD. These estimates are based on general observations, and by interviews with facility personnel. • Boiler Blowdown is 1,150 gpd average, and the boiler usage is 19,000 gpd average; • Cooling Tower Blowdown is 2,900 gpd average, and the cooling tower usage is 17,000 gpd average; • Roof Washdown is 50 gpd average, and this is from a 250 gallon per week washdown event; and • The AHU1 in PM1 does have some discharge that goes to the storm drain and into the sedimentation basin. This is estimated as 1,100 gpd average. 8)The type of chemical added to the wastewater for treatment Buckeye uses the following chemicals and note that the name, manufacturer, quantity per year and product use have also been provided; • ChemTreat, Inc., BL-8631, 8,625 lbs./yr., Boiler water treatment for internal boiler tube scale/corrosion control, alkalinity, and anti-foam (See attached Form 101_1 of 7 with MSDS); • ChemTreat, Inc., BL-1253, 5,907 lbs./yr., Boiler water treatment as oxygen scavenger for deaerator tank (See attached Form 101_2 of 7 with MSDS); • ChemTreat, Inc., CL-4907, 1,800 lbs./yr.(Baseline)with an additional 201bs./day as necessary for mitigating algae growth during the summer months, Cooling Tower water treatment bromine/chlorine biocide for bacteria and slime control (See attached Form 101_3 of 7 with MSDS and Environmental Information sheet); • ChemTreat, Inc., CL-4882, 1,659 lbs./yr., Cooling Tower Scale and corrosion inhibitor in open recirculating waters (See attached Form 101_4 of 7 with MSDS); • ChemTreat, Inc., CL-2156, 771 lbs./yr., Cooling Tower non-oxidizing biocide for bacteria and mold control (See attached Form 101_5 of 7 with MSDS and Environmental Information sheet); 1 • ChemTreat, Inc., CL-2032, 0.0 lbs./day, Cooling Tower algaecide is currently used for algae control during summer months, but will be discontinued in the event that a non- contact wastewater discharge permit is approved and implemented. (See attached Form 101_6 of 7 with MSDS); and • ChemTreat, Inc., CL-280, 4,608 Lbs./yr., Corrosion inhibitor for recirculation closed loop hot or chill water systems (See attached Form 101_7 of 7 with MSDS). 9) Completed Biocide 101 Forms for review are attached along with MSD sheets 10)There are no plans to provide additional treatment processes to these wastewater flows prior to discharge to the non-point runoff discharge. 12) Pollutants: Since most of the chemical additives in the wastewater are alkaline pH a slight increase in pH may occur. Some of the additives are boiler additives, and the blowdown will be higher than ambient temperature. The chemical composition will contribute to the total dissolved solids in the wastewater. 14)Alternatives to Direct Discharge: a)The Boiler Blowdown and Cooling Tower Blowdown are currently discharged to the local POTW; however,there is a very high sewer use charge of$7.80/ 1,000 gallons for sewer use. Buckeye is;therefore, requesting permission to discharge these non-contact wastewaters directly to the on-site storm sewer system. b) Subsurface disposal has not been considered due to a high overall project cost. c) Spray irrigation has not been considered due to a high overall project cost. 15)Additional Information Requirements: a) See attached Figure 1 (7.5 minute USGS Topographic Map). Since this is not a direct discharge point see Figure 2. b) See attached Figure 2 (Site Map) since the discharge is not directly to the stream this Figures shows the stormwater drainage basin 01 which will be the non-point runoff area for the wastewaters described in this application. c) See attached letter designating Golder Associates as the consulting engineer representing Buckeye for this application. d) & e) Final Plans &Specifications are not applicable. Only minor mechanical changes are required upon approval of this application. 2 _ • 4 ,, . f Jr USGS Mount Holly Quad :.:"...--2'.:::„ - \I. 1, - 35°2006"N/81°03'47"W 11/4......:171/4.. .:\ 4.......-1 " ") I s1/44,'-' -..) •kt V.'', 1 1' \ ' I. 1 ic ' / ‘7 - • - 11111=211 7,1. . - )„, ,,, ,,,, . _., . .._, 1,7, k., , , ,...--1, _) _ „:7,7, , .,,,:;...:, ,— 1,' : , . -A -- \,•\r '''' *-) - ‘•-•':"-- ''' ' '- -,2 4: ‘----"fr L-- c ,-,%.

Facility and physical address: Buckeye Mount Holly 100 Buckeye Drive Mount Holly,NC 28120 2. Date of investigation: August 26,2011 3. Report prepared by: Michael L. Parker,Environmental Engineer II 4. Person contacted and telephone number: Eric Bolin, (704) 812-2023. 5. Directions to site: The Buckeye Mount Holly plant is located just off highway 27 on Buckeye Drive, z- 4.0 miles west of the junction of highway 273 and highway 27 in the City of Mount Holly. 6. Discharge point(s): Latitude: 35° 20' 05" Longitude: 81° 03' 33" USGS Quad No.: Fl4SE 7. Receiving stream or affected surface waters: South Stanly Creek a. Classification: WS-IV b. River Basin and Subbasin No.: Catawba 030833 c. Describe receiving stream features and pertinent downstream uses: The receiving stream is 4 - 6 feet wide and 3 - 6 inches deep at the point of discharge. There are no other known downstream users for a distance of several miles. PART II - DESCRIPTION OF DISCHARGE AND TREATMENT WORKS 1. a. Actual treatment capacity: N/A b. Current permitted capacity: N/A(new discharge) IN- , ' err .:1. b.. i .. • Page Two d. Description of existing or substantially constructed WWT facilities: There are no existing WWT facilities constructed specifically for this proposed discharge,however, the wastewater will pass through an existing earthen settling basin prior to exiting the property. The basin was constructed during the original grading of the plant side and was originally used as a sediment basin. e. Description of proposed WWT facilities: The applicant does not propose to construct any additional treatment facilities at this time. f. Possible toxic impacts to surface waters: There are a number of biocidal additives added to the proposed waste stream. Toxicity worksheets for these additives have been submitted for review. 2. Treatment plant classification:N/A (does not meet the minimum requirements for a Class I rating). 3. Compliance Background: This facility has no previous compliance history. PART III- OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION 1. Special monitoring or limitations (including toxicity) requests: None at this time. PART IV-EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS The applicant proposes to discharge a combination of non-contact wastewater,boiler blow- down wastewater, and roof wash down wastewater to South Stanly Creek. To-date,these waste streams have been sent to the City of Mount Holly's WWTP,however,high sewer use fees have necessitated the need to find an alternative disposal option for waste waters not produced in the manufacturing process. For this reason,the applicant has chosen to discharge these waste streams off- site under the authority of a General Permit. The applicant has proposed up to 5,200 gpd of wastewater generation,however, actual flows may be much less depending on plant operations. This proposed discharge should benefit from the location of the existing settling basin,which is positioned between the main plant site and the receiving stream. This use of this basin should aid in promoting biocidal degradation and reducing thermal contributions expected from the boiler blow-down waste stream. This Office recommends issuance of the General Permit pending a final technical review and approval of the biocidal information submitted with the permit application. >12-1e> ,/2.‘e_.-....

Indicate which discharge points, if more than one. d)Volume of discharge per each discharge point(in GPD). e) Describe the type of process the wastewater is being discharged from All of the following flows will be discharged as non-point runoff similar to the existing stormwater discharge. The flow rates in GPD are also listed. The total is estimated at 5,200 GPD. These estimates are based on general observations, and by interviews with facility personnel. • Boiler Blowdown is 1,150 gpd average, and the boiler usage is 19,000 gpd average; • Cooling Tower Blowdown is 2,900 gpd average, and the cooling tower usage is 17,000 gpd average; • Roof Washdown is 50 gpd average, and this is from a 250 gallon per week washdown event; and • The AHU1 in PM1 does have some discharge that goes to the storm drain and into the sedimentation basin. This is estimated as 1,100 gpd average. 8)The type of chemical added to the wastewater for treatment Buckeye uses the following chemicals and note that the name, manufacturer, quantity per year and product use have also been provided; • ChemTreat, Inc., BL-8631, 8,625 lbs./yr., Boiler water treatment for internal boiler tube scale/corrosion control, alkalinity, and anti-foam (See attached Form 101_1 of 7 with MSDS); • ChemTreat, Inc., BL-1253, 5,907 lbs./yr., Boiler water treatment as oxygen scavenger for deaerator tank (See attached Form 101_2 of 7 with MSDS); • ChemTreat, Inc., CL-4907, 1,800 lbs./yr.(Baseline) with an additional 201bs./day as necessary for mitigating algae growth during the summer months, Cooling Tower water treatment bromine/chlorine biocide for bacteria and slime control (See attached Form 101_3 of 7 with MSDS and Environmental Information sheet); • ChemTreat, Inc., CL-4882, 1,659 lbs./yr., Cooling Tower Scale and corrosion inhibitor in open recirculating waters (See attached Form 101_4 of 7 with MSDS); • ChemTreat, Inc., CL-2156, 771 lbs./yr., Cooling Tower non-oxidizing biocide for bacteria and mold control (See attached Form 101_5 of 7 with MSDS and Environmental Information sheet); 1 • ChemTreat, Inc., CL-2032, 0.0 lbs./day, Cooling Tower algaecide is currently used for algae control during summer months, but will be discontinued in the event that a non- contact wastewater discharge permit is approved and implemented. (See attached Form 101_6 of 7 with MSDS); and • ChemTreat, Inc., CL-280, 4,608 Lbs./yr., Corrosion inhibitor for recirculation closed loop hot or chill water systems (See attached Form 101_7 of 7 with MSDS). 9) Completed Biocide 101 Forms for review are attached along with MSD sheets 10)There are no plans to provide additional treatment processes to these wastewater flows prior to discharge to the non-point runoff discharge. 12) Pollutants: Since most of the chemical additives in the wastewater are alkaline pH a slight increase in pH may occur. Some of the additives are boiler additives, and the blowdown will be higher than ambient temperature. The chemical composition will contribute to the total dissolved solids in the wastewater. 14)Alternatives to Direct Discharge: a)The Boiler Blowdown and Cooling Tower Blowdown are currently discharged to the local POTW; however,there is a very high sewer use charge of$7.80/ 1,000 gallons for sewer use. Buckeye is ;therefore, requesting permission to discharge these non-contact wastewaters directly to the on-site storm sewer system. b) Subsurface disposal has not been considered due to a high overall project cost. c) Spray irrigation has not been considered due to a high overall project cost. 15)Additional Information Requirements: a) See attached Figure 1 (7.5 minute USGS Topographic Map). Since this is not a direct discharge point see Figure 2. b) See attached Figure 2 (Site Map) since the discharge is not directly to the stream this Figures shows the stormwater drainage basin 01 which will be the non-point runoff area for the wastewaters described in this application. c) See attached letter designating Golder Associates as the consulting engineer representing Buckeye for this application. d) & e) Final Plans &Specifications are not applicable. Only minor mechanical changes are required upon approval of this application. 2 _ USGS Mount Holly Quad ,„„:.---,,, - -1 ii- -- _ -, ' • ,' )',), - • 35°20'06"N/81°03'47"W :).___ ...--- - , • r, '7. - 1),r--, • / -__ , \\_;- s , \ ,C) 1 Stanley Creek -- C ;_/•:„._...s / ,-,.. ) ..--/ . . _ ----- , NWona-s tPeowirnatt eNr op4nr*-cC_h o l t.4;e 7?.--ppliximate Drainag ,...atti' - ---- -- ' i '''..-, •41,,,, _ ._,..1 N.N.,...)„,..,.........4..,.....,. - ' — - . -forislon-Contapt — ' - -- - 1 , - - , astewater Disch-arge "-•• • ' - 1-'Jr,' 11 Non--Priii.._,Fire Pump-Test-lc -' _ -"so_ ' ) - -- ' . ----ra-----15_ t.S.

ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION Product Description: ChemTreat CL4907 is a liquid product containing stabilized sodium hypochlorite and sodium bromide. When introduced into the treated system the compounds hydrolyze to produce active halogen compounds. Active Ingredient Composition: Component CAS Registry# Weight % Sodium hypochlorite 7681-52-9 7.45 Sodium bromide 7647-15-6 10.28 % Actives Total available Bromine 16% (expressed as total available Chlorine 7%) Decay Rate: When ChemTreat CL4907 dissociates hypobromus acid and(HOBr) hypochlorus acid(HOC1) are formed which are powerful oxidants. At higher pH levels best suited for this product HOBr is predominantly responsible for the biocidal activity. HOBr will further dissociate to produce the less active OBI ions. Organic matter and microorganisms rapidly reduce free halogen. The stabilized formulation increases the half-life of halogen function compounds. While the half-life is dependent on system demand, two studies of similar compounds under typical cooling tower conditions yielded half-lives of 2 hours. Aquatic Data: Results below are based on the active product(reported as Cl2). Cold Water Fish, acute toxicity, LC50 1.35 ppm(max) (96 hr) Warm Water Fish, acute toxicity, LC50 2.1 ppm(max) (96 hr) Invertebrate (D. magna), acute toxicity, LC50 2.3 ppm(max) (48 hr) When expressed as product. Cold Water Fish, acute toxicity, LC50 19.01 ppm(max) (96 hr) Warm Water Fish, acute toxicity, LC50 29.6 ppm(max) (96 hr) Invertebrate (D. magna), acute toxicity, LC50 32.4 ppm(max) (48 hr) Inhibition Criteria: It is unlikely that any halogen residual would be found from using CL4907 in conditions at the headworks of a POTW. A halogen residual of 1.0 ppm measured as C12 would be inhibitory until reduced by overwhelming organic demand. (JImT,eat,Inc. • DS MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Section 1.

ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION Product Description: ChemTreat CL-2156 is a formulation of two organosulfur antimicrobials designed to control algae, bacteria and fungi in recirculating cooling water systems. Active Ingredient Composition: 1. 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one: 1.11% 2. 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one: 0.39% Decay Rate: A table of the biotic half-lives determined by studies of the active ingredients in CL-2156 is presented below. The aquatic studies were performed by adding 1 ppm of each antimicrobial to a mixture of sediment and water obtained from the Delaware River. Biotic Half-life (hrs.) Study Ingredient 1. Ingredient 2. Aerobic Aquatic Microcosm 17 9 Anaerobic Aquatic Microcosm 5 Aerobic Soil (Terrestrial) 6 The above data demonstrates that both of the active ingredients of ChemTreat CL-2156 biodegrade very rapidly with half-lives of less than 1 day. This data is on file with the U.S. EPA. In another study,the biodegradation was examined under conditions typically encountered in an industrial water treatment system at a temperature of 35°C and a pH of 8.5. The system was given a dose equivalent to 100 ppm of CL-2156. Under these conditions the half-life of was 1.5 hours.
