3 Flow Measurements
Appropriate flow measurement devices and methods consistent with accepted
scientific practices shall be selected and used to insure the accuracy and
reliability of measurements of the volume of monitored discharges. The
devices shall be installed, calibrated and maintained to insure that the
accuracy of the measurements are consistent with the accepted capability of
that type of device. Devices selected shall he 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 pursuant to NCGS 143-215.63 et seq, the Water and Air
Quality Reporting Acts, and to regulations published pursuant to Section 304(g),
33 USC 1314, of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as Amended, and
Regulation 40 CFR 136.
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
reporting levels below permit discharge requirements, then the most sensitive
(method with the lowest possible detection and reporting level) approved method
must he used.

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

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

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

Part II
Page 14 of 14
9. Calculation of Means
a. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of 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.
10. Calendar Day
A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight
of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour
period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
11. Hazardous Substance
A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116
pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.
12. Toxic Pollutant
A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of
the Clean Water Act.

will result in new, different, or increased discharges of pollutants must
be reported by submission of a new NPDES application or, if such changes
will not violate the effluent limitations specified in this permit, by
notice to the DEM of such changes. Following such notice, the permit
may be modified to specify and limit any pollutants not previously limited.
2. Non compliance Notification
If, for any reason, the permittee does not comply with or will be unable
to comply with any effluent limitation specified in this permit, the per-
mittee shall provide the Division of Environmental Management with the
following information, in writing, within five (5) days of becoming aware
of such condition:
a. A description of the discharge and cause of noncompliance; and
b. The period of noncompliance, including exact dates and times; or,
if not corrected; the anticipated time the noncompliance is expected
to continue, and steps being taken to reduce, eliminate and prevent
recurrence of the noncomplying discharge.
3. Facilities Operation

1 . Existing Facilities :
A. Complex No. 46 -
Outfall 001 - (referred to as "A" in permit application) - *15,000 gpd
discharge of steam condensate from a textile autoclave.
Outfall 002 - (referred to as "B" in permit application) - *4,000 gpd
discharge of steam condensate from a textile autoclave.
Outfall 003 - (referred to as "C" in permit application) - *720 gpd
discharge consists of cooling water and wastewater from the cleaning of
lint screens. The cleaning water results from a batch cleaning process
in which stainless steel screens, which filter Steam from a heat set
unit, are dipped into a tank which contains approximately 250 gallons
of caustic soda. Approximately twice per week the tank of caustic soda
is neutralized with sulfuric acid to a pH of approximately 7.0 S.U. and
then discharged. The company collected a sample of this discharge and
performed an analysis which revealed the following pollutant
concentrations :
Parameter Concentration
**TOC 42 mg/1
**BOD 10 mg/1
Phenol .077 mg/1
Arsenic < 25 ug/1
Barium < 50 ug/1
Cadmium 9 ug/1

PART III - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1 . Performance Evaluation: N/A.
2. 0 & M Evaluation: N/A.
3. Recommendations and/or Special Conditions: It is recommended that three (3)
separate NPDES Permits be issued, one for each plant. The permit for Complex
No. 46 should include monitoring requirements for four (4) separate outlets .
For outlet 003, it is recommended that the monitoring requirements include
the parameters Flow, COD, BOD, TSS, Phenol , Total Chromium, Temperature,
and pH. All other discharges (at all three plants) should require
monitoring for Flow, pH and Temperature.
The permit for the I-85 plant should contain monitoring requirements for
three (3) separate outlet points. The permit for Stowe Mills should list
only one (1) outlet.
Note #1 : Reference: August 11 , 1983 letter from Mike Church pertaining
to Complex No. 46.
The letter references an Outlet "E". This is the connection of the plants
domestic and process wastewater to the Lowell sewer system and should not
be confused as being an outlet to surface waters.
Note #2: Reference: August 11 , 1983 letter from Mike Church pertaining
to the I-85 Plant.
Outlet "D" refers to the plant's connection to a sewer line tributary to the
Pharr Yarns wastewater treatment plant and should not be confused as being
an outlet to surface waters.
In describing Outlet "C", the applicant gives the impression that the
discharge consists of water from a "polishing Pond" in addition to boiler
blowdown water. There is not really a polishing pond but merely an
impoundment of a stream that is tributary to the South Fork Catawba River.
The discharge should be considered to be entirely boiler blowdown and the
receiving waters are the pond itself.
Note #3: Reference: August 11 , 1983 letter from Mike Church pertaining
to Stowe Mills.
The applicant refers to a discharge point "A" which is the point at which

•
-4-
a small amount of boiler blowdown water is released periodically. The
water is released onto grounds owned by the company and is of such small
quantities that it does not actually reach any defined surface waters or
water course before evaporating and/or percolating into the soil . For.
these reasons, the MRO feels that this does not constitute an outlet to
surface waters and thus would not require an NPDES Permit. The applicant
is aware that the forthcoming permit may not contain any reference to this
point.
The letter further describes Outlet "B" as being the spill way from a pond
on the company's property. This pond is actually an impoundment of an
unnamed tributary to the South Fork Catawba River. The company releases
boiler blowdown water into this pond. There are no other known wastewater
discharges tributary to this pond. For these reasons the MRO feels that
the point of discharge is actually the terminus of the pipe which carries
the boiler blowdown water into the pond.
Note #4: Reference: Material Safety Data Sheet for Milliken Chemicals
Synlube 6277A.
This is a finish being applied to cloth in a process at Complex No. 46.
The wastewater from this process is being collected and taken to the
Pharr Yarns wastewater treatment plant for treatment. Reportedly, there is
no release of this finish thru any of the outlets for which the company is
requesting Permit. Therefore this material safety Data sheet has no
relevance to the processing of these permit applications.
Note #5: Outlet 003 at the I-85 Plant and Outlet 001 at Stowe Mills are
relatively smaller boiler blowdown discharges into good sized impoundments
(each pond is several acres in area) . The pH of these discharges are
approximately 11 .0 S.U. , which would be in excess of customary effluent
limitations for such discharges. However, it is unlikely that the pH
from these discharges would cause any violation of water quality standards
in these impoundments. It is recommended that Technical Services evaluate
the probable impact that these discharges would have, considering the large
dilution ratio. If Technical Services determines that a water quality
contravention would not likely occur, MRO would recommend that there be no
effluent limitation for pH but that monitoring still be required.

Dear MIKE CHURCH
Our files indicate that the subject permit for a wastewater discharge to the
surface water expires on 890930. GS 143-215. 1(c) requires that an application for
renewal must be filed 180 days prior to the expiration date. We have not received an
application for renewal from you as of this date.
A renewal application shall consist of a letter requesting renewal along with the
appropriate completed and signed application form, submitted in triplicate, referenced
in Title 15 of the North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2H, .0105. Primary
industries listed in Appendix A of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part
122 (40 CFR Part 122), shall submit a priority pollutant analysis that is performed in
accordance with 40 CFR Part 122.21. A processing fee must be submitted with the
application. Please find attached a copy of the 15 NCAC 2B .0105(b) regulations. The
processing fee for your facility is based on the design or permitted flow, whichever
is appropriate, listed in the first five categories of facilities. No facility is
allowed to submit a fee for the general permits listed in the fee schedule at this
time since EPA has not approved our general permit. Also the Environmental Management
Commission adopted rules on August 1,1988, requiring the payment of an annual fee for
most permitted facilities (See Attached). You will be billed separately for that fee
(if applicable), after your permit is approved.
This matter should be given prompt attention in that continued discharge after
the permit's expiration, without the filing of a complete and timely application for
renewal, constitutes discharge without a permit and is a violation of GS 143-215. 1(a)
and the Federal Clean Water Act of 1977. The application for renewal should be
submitted to:
