Treatment system piping has been removed and therefore the system has been made to be inoperable. There are currently no plans to restart the system in the near future. During the inspection, the out fall pipe was not found. There appears to be a storm drain pipe that is located behind the guard shack where the treament system is housed. The pipe was damaged during re-paving operations of a couple of years ago. It would be recommended that should the system be reactived, system discharge be connected to a nearby storm drain. Currently, the outfall appears to be connected to an intermittant stream channel. No discharge was noted to be occurinq at the time of the site visit. Should the system be brought back online,the MRO would need to be present at system startup. Page# 3 United States Environmental Protection Agency Form Approved.

We were not able to gain access to the two onsite recovery wells as the well out protective covers were locked and no key was available to open the locks. This system was shut down in 2008 and the system has be placed into an inoperative state. Except the removal of system plumbling, the primary componenSof the system are present. As the system has been inactive for almost ten years, a good deal of work would be required to place the system back into an operational states should the permittee ever wish to reactivate the system. The permittee applied for a permit renewal in June 2015. The renewal application is currently listed as in Review status with Central Ofice Permitting. Due to permitting back log,renewal process is delayed.

I would say the improvement in the NC0062278 operations (closest discharger to your sampling site) probably had the most impact on the stream fish community (and hopefully the benthic community) but the others from MRO noted on this e-mail are welcome to comment. Marcia From: Tracy, Bryn Sent: Monday, March 25, 2013 11:26 AM To: Allocco, Marcia Subject: Crowders Creek, Gaston County Marcia (and staff responsible for Gaston County) - My fish site on Crowders Creek at SR 1108 improved from Fair to Good last year with more fish and species ever collected. According to BIMS, there are four NPDES dischargers upstream in the watershed: 1. NC0004260 -This is groundwater remediation system discharge with a permit limit of 0.0072 MGD; system treats for chlorinated solvents. The last time a discharge was reported was March 2008. The staff report from March 2010 (for permit renewal in 2011) noted that the facility was having a problem with the change from Chronic WET testing to Acute WET testing. They were having problems passing the fathead minnow (90%) test but easily passed the ceriodaphnia test (chronic). The Aquatic toxicity group assessed a civil penalty for failing acute tests in February and March 2008. 2. NC0062278 -This is a package WWTP for a mobile home community (off Bethany Road)with a permitted flow of 0.036 MGD. The facility has had consistent compliance issues dating from 2002; non-compliance increased in 2010 (10 civil penalties in 2009 and 2010 and five notices of violation). A settlement agreement for outstanding penalties was entered into effective June 30, 2011. The settlement agreement required modification and upgrade of the aeration system, installing a new sampler w/flow proportional capabilities,repair of the influent pipe structure and bar screen, replace the chlorine tablet feeder, relocate the dechlorination facilities, and some safety issues with grating over the WWTP. A technical assistance visit was conducted by MRO in 2/12 to help optimize operations at the WWTP. The plant was to meet significant compliance between 2/12 and 5/12 and this was completed; there were ammonia and BOD limit violations in July 2012. 3. NC0086142 -This is a small WTP with a permitted flow of 0.10 MGD (2 wells) with two discharge locations. WTP is removing elevated iron and manganese in the groundwater. There have been violations of TSS at the WTP in 2011. However, both outfalls discharge to vegetative areas and probably do not reach surface waters. 1 4. NC0005177 - This is the discharge from an industrial facility with a permitted flow of 0.615 MGD. Facility has been in compliance except for a single WET testing failure with resultant notice of violation in 2009. Specific conductance was the lowest recorded at 117 µS/cm when we sampled on 04/25/2012. Did any of these facilities "get better" during the past 5 years (2007-2012)? Were they still "on line"? Or was it the quality of staff working with me (you, Donna, Polly,and Mike)? Any info would be appreciated. Bryn H.

Such discharges shall be limited and monitored by the Permittee as specified below: EFFLUENT EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS MONITORING REQUIREMENTS CHARACTERISTICS Monthly Weekly Daily Measurement Sample Sample Average Average Maximum Frequency Type Location Flow MGD Instantaneous Recorder I Effluent pH Quarterly Grab Effluent Methylene Chloride, µg/1 Quarterly Grab Effluent 1,2-trans-Dichloroethene, µg/l Quarterly Grab Effluent 1,2-Dichloropropane, µg/1 Quarterly Grab Effluent _ Tetrachloroethene (PCE), 1.1g/1 Quarterly Grab Effluent Trichloroethene(TCE), µg/l Quarterly Grab Effluent _ Acute Toxicity 2 Quarterly Grab Effluent Footnotes: 1. The permittee may utilize a flow totalizer to measure flow. 2. Acute Toxicity(Fathead minnow), P/F at 90 %, February, May, August, and November; See Special Condition A. (2). Toxicity sample to be collected at same time as monitored pollutants samples. • While in service the flow and groundwater treatment system should be checked at least on a weekly basis. There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts. Permit NC0004260 A. (2) ACUTE TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY) The permittee shall conduct acute toxicity tests on a quarterly basis using protocols defined in the North Carolina Procedure Document entitled "Pass/Fail Methodology For Determining Acute Toxicity In-A Single Effluent Concentration" (Revised-July, 1992 or subsequent versions). The monitoring shall be performed as a Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas) 24 hour static test. The effluent concentration at which there may be at no time significant acute mortality is 90% (defined as treatment two in the procedure document). Effluent samples for self-monitoring purposes must be obtained during representative effluent discharge below all waste treatment. The tests will be performed during the months of February, May, August and November. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code TGE6C. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-2 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Quality Environmental Sciences Section 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 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 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 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 the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, 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 Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream,this permit may be re-opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits. Permit NC0004260 (Continued A. (2)ACUTE TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT(QRTRLY)) If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently then required by this permit, the results of such monitoring shall be included in the calculation & reporting of the data submitted on the DMR & AT Forms. 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 follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring. A. (3) REPORTING OF OPERATION The Permittee and/or Permittee representative must contact the Mooresville Regional Office/Surface Water Protection Section, phone (704) 663-1699, during normal business hours within 48 hours of resuming operation and discharge.

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 (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 • Version 10/29/2010 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions ' Page 2 of 18 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. 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 122.2) 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).

Gastonia Site Gaston County Dear Mr. McGlocklin: • Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No.NC0004260 was issued on July 28, 2005 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 Page 4. Page 4 sets forth the effluent limitations 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. For new permits/facilities,the Division may supply an initial small stock of these forms;however, if you fail to receive the forms,please contact this Office as quickly as possible. The forms, including directions for their completion, and other important information are also available at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/NPDES/documents.html. 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 fee may be required for your facility; if so,you will receive 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 and/or discharge(s).

Any changes in operation of wastewater treatment facilities, quantity and type of wastewater being treated or discharged, expansions and/or upgrading of wastewater treatment facilities must be permitted or approved by this Agency. To maintain compliance with discharge limitations,proper operation and maintenance of a wastewater treatment facility and the development of a process control program are essential. For those facilities having chlorine tablet disinfection,please be advised that chlorine tablets approved for wastewater treatment use must be used; swimming pool tablets are not approved. Also, be advised that DWQ staff need to have access to the facility's discharge point into the receiving stream;please maintain a path along the outfall line to facilitate that access. 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 (SOC)may be necessary while pursuing action to obtain compliance. As a final note, an NPDES Permit is normally issued for a five-year period. Permits are not automatically renewed. Renewal requests must be submitted to this Agency no later than 180 days prior to expiration. Please make note of the expiration date of your Permit. This date is set forth on Page 1 of the Permit. Also note that NPDES Permits are not 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 DWQ reissue the Permit to another party,if necessary. As mentioned previously,the purpose of this letter is to advise you of the importance of your NPDES Permit.

EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Beginning on the effective date of this permit and lasting until expiration, the Permittee is authorized to discharge treated groundwater from Outfall 001. Such discharges shall be limited and monitored by the Permittee as specified below: EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS MONITORING REQUIREMENTS EFFLUENT Monthly Weekly Daily Measurement Sample Sample CHARACTERISTICS Average Average Maximum Frequency Type Location Flow 0.0072 Instantaneous Recorder' Effluent MGD Methylene Chloride Quarterly Grab Effluent 1,2-trans- Quarterly Grab Effluent Dichloroethene 1,2-Dichloropropane Quarterly Grab Effluent Tetrachloroethene Quarterly Grab Effluent (PCE) Trichloroethene (TCE) Quarterly Grab Effluent Acute Toxicity2 Quarterly Grab Effluent Notes: 1. The permittee may utilize a flow totalizer to measure flow. 2. Acute Toxicity (Fathead minnow), P/F at 90 %, February, May, August, and November; See Supplement to Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements- Special Condition A(2). The flow and groundwater treatment system should be checked at least on a weekly basis. There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts. Permit No. NC0004260 A(2).ACUTE TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY) The permittee shall conduct acute toxicity tests on a auarterlu basis using protocols defined in the North Carolina Procedure Document entitled "Pass/Fail Methodology For Determining Acute Toxicity In A Single Effluent Concentration" (Revised-July, 1992 or subsequent versions).The monitoring shall be performed as a Fathead Minnow(Pimephales promelas) 24 hour static test. The effluent concentration at which there may be at no time significant acute mortality is 90% (defined as treatment two in the procedure document). Effluent samples for self-monitoring purposes must be obtained during representative effluent discharge below all waste treatment. The tests will be performed during the months of February, May, August and November. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code TGE6C. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-2 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Quality Environmental Sciences Section 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 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 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 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 the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, 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 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 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. NPDES Permit Requirements Page 1 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 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 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 during any 24-hour period and must be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. Version 6/20 2003 NPDES Permit Requirements • Page 2 of 16 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 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. 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. Version 6J20/2003 NPDES Permit Requirements • Page 3 of 16 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, the geometric mean of such discharges. Permit Issuing Authority The Director of the Division of Water Quality. Quarterly Average (concentration limit) The average 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 Clean Water Act. 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. Weekly Average (concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar week. In the case of fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such-discharges. Section B. General Conditions 1. Duty to Comply The Permittee must comply with all conditions of this permit.

Gaston County Dear Mr. McGlocklin: The NPDES Unit received your permit renewal application on July 17, 2001. Thank you for submitting this package. The permit renewal for this facility has been assigned to Teresa Rodriguez. This staff member will contact you if further information is needed to complete the permit renewal. Please note that the NPDES Unit has several vacant positions. This staff shortage has lasted for over a year and is delaying all permit renewals. Our remaining permit writers are currently reviewing Authorizations to Construct, speculative limit requests, major permit modifications and 201 plan updates ahead of permit renewals. This is necessary due to a variety of factors, including mandatory deadlines in the statutes which govern our program. If this staff shortage delays reissuance of NC0004260 the existing requirements in your permit will remain in effect until the permit is renewed (or the Division takes other action). We appreciate your patience and understanding while we operate with a severely depleted staff. If you have any additional questions concerning renewal of the subject permit, please contact Teresa Rodriguez at (919) 733-5083, extension 595.

We apologize or a ateness o t is su mrtta . The original permit application was prepared by a CR Industries employee who is no longer with the company and as a result, this request for permit renewal "slipped through the cracks". Permit Name Change We have enclosed a completed name change form to designate the parent company of CR Industries, SKF USA Inc., as the permit holder. We have also indicated a new permit holder contact on this form. Signatures for the former and new permit holder are both provided by SKF USA since they owned CR Industries even before the original 1996 permit was issued, and because the former permit holder contact, Mr. Layton Schuh, is no longer with CR Industries. As discussed in the permit history below, property ownership changed in mid-2000, but ownership and responsibility for the ground water treatment system on the property has not changed. For this reason, we have not provided property sale documentation requested on the form. Please advise if you require this documentation. Permit Renewal Application For clarity in future correspondence, the permit renewal form has been completed on the presumption that the enclosed name change information will incorporated into the current permit prior to processing the renewal application. s\aaa-master projects'skf-usalskf 01\npdes penmit renewal.doc Mr.Dave Goodrich June 29, 2001 Page 2 of 3 Summary of Permit History Consistent with previous notices and requests for permit modifications sent to DENR, in the past two years the site has undergone changes in ownership and water discharge modifications have been made. We have summarized permit-related events for easy reference below: Original permit signed November 25, 1996 This permit was issued to CR Industries for discharge of treated industrial process water from their manufacturing facility in Gastonia to Crowders Creek. Permit modification dated July 2, 1998 This modification was made to allow discharge of treated ground water along with the original treated industrial process water via Crowders Creek. Permit modification dated December 14, 1998 DENR was notified of CR Industries' plans to shut down and sell their Gastonia facility. This permit modification was made to establish permit requirements for treated ground water discharge at the point in time that discharge of treated industrial process water from the CR Industries facility was terminated. Change in property ownership in July 1999 SKF USA Inc., the parent company of CR Industries, sold the property in April 2000 and treated industrial process wastewater discharge from the site ceased on July 31, 1999. Sampling and analyses of the treated ground water discharge began at this point in time in accordance with the December 1998 permit modification. Permit modification dated October 22, 1999 This modification was issued by DENR to add chronic toxicity testing to the requirements for treated ground water discharge from the site. Permit Modification dated March 27, 2000 This permit modification was issued to allow use of a calibrated totalizing flow meter for measurement of treated ground water discharge from the site. Facility discharge modifications completed in October 2000 In the fall of 2000, the new property owner's industrial wastewater discharge piping was connected into the City's municipal sewer system, eliminating the need for discharge of this industrial wastewater stream to Crowders Creek. Consequently, only treated ground water currently discharges from the new facility to the creek. s taaa-master projectsskf-usaskf UI npdes permit renewal doe *Bart&Hickman A Proless.nal Corporation Mr.Dave Goodrich June 29, 2001 Page 3 of 3 Request for permit modification dated February 5, 2001 This permit modification request was made to allow collection of grab samples for chronic toxicity testing during periods of low treated ground water discharge rates (i.e. low ground water recovery rates caused by season water table variations). Verbal authorization has been received from DENR, but formal approval is pending.

Since that time there were' ermi two+modifications issued on July 6, 1998 and December 14, 1998. Due to the recent plant closure, CR Industries is now discharging according to the `A(2) Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements' Page, from the December 14, 1998 permit modification. A review of the permit has revealed that an error was inadvertently made in the December modification. Specifically, the absence of a chronic toxicity condition on the A(2) Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements' page. This condition was mistakenly not included on the effluent limitations page. This permit correction is intended to correct that oversight. Condition A(2) has been modified to include chronic toxicity. Please note that in accordance with NCAC 2B .0508, the Division is required to install toxicity testing for discharges of complex wastewater. The Division has deemed that discharges originating from solvent contaminated groundwater as such. The attached corrected permit pages should be inserted into your permit and the old one discarded. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Michael Myers, telephone number(919)733-5083,extension 508.

Rex Gleason A PREPARED BY: Todd St. John SUBJECT: CR Industries NPDES Permit No.NC0004260 Gaston County This Office is in receipt of the Alternatives Analysis submitted by CR Industries dated December 19, 1997. Earlier correspondence from CR Industries indicated that the Company wants to add groundwater remediation equipment, treat contaminated groundwater(about 10 gpm or 0.0144 MGD), and add the treated groundwater to the effluent without obtaining an increase of permitted flow. The permitted monthly average flow for the WWTP is 0.148 MGD. The largest monthly average flow between November 1996 through November 1997 was 0.046 MGD, well below the monthly average permit limit. Therefore, it does not appear that CR industries would need additional permitted flow at this time. CR Industries has also proposed continuing to discharge to Crowders Creek. In the subject Alternatives Analysis the Company has indicated that tapping into the City of Gastonia's sewer line is economically infeasible. One reason that the Company claims that the project is economically infeasible is that the Company will have to remove the existing effluent line and install a new effluent line at a cost of approximately $212,000.00. The existing effluent line crosses (over or under) the existing gravity sewer line owned by the City of Gastonia. This Office believes that clarification is needed as to why the effluent line will have to be re-constructed. (Also, it appears that the Company has inadvertently transposed the directions east and west in its discussion of effluent/sewer line extension. Crowders Creek as well as Gastonia's subject sewer line are actually west of the subject facility.) . & • . . e 's ro • ,---77) 1- 57' 101-1/t) ( /(4 R ()) F (2 , PA---()C C LAIR tc *tg. .. . • :. .'

Gastonia, North Carolina I. General Information Per the request from Mr. Paul B. Clark of the Water Quality Section of the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NC DENR) in an October 6, 1997 letter to Mr. Bruce Amig of Coltec industries,this evaluation of wastewater disposal alternatives addresses the management of combined manufacturing and remedial derived wastewater for NPDES Permit No. NC0004260. The CR Industries, Inc. facility is located at 4328 South York Road, south of Gastonia, Gaston County,North Carolina. The telephone number at the facility is(704) 864-8351. CR Industries and Coltec are planning a ground water recovery and treatment system to remediate trichloroethene, tetrachloroethene, and cis-1,2-dichloroethene in the ground water. It is anticipated that ground water will be pumped from two recovery wells at the site at a rate of approximately 10 gallons per minute. The recovered ground water will be treated in a new air stripping system for removal of the volatile organic contaminants. Currently, domestic wastewater from the facility is treated in a package plant consisting of a comminutor, bar screen, diffused aeration basin and clarifier which empties to an aerated lagoon. Industrial wastewater is treated in a process consisting of a mechanical oil skimmer which empties to the previously mentioned aerated lagoon, combining with the treated domestic wastewater. At this point,both the domestic and industrial wastewater are further treated via pH adjustment with lime, alum addition, dissolved air flotation (DAP), final pH adjustment of the effluent, mechanical screening, and ultrasonic flow measurement. Separated solids are dewatered with a sludge holding tank and a sludge filter press. Final discharge of the treated ground water is proposed to be via the NPDES permitted outfall to Crowders Creek in the Catawba River Basin combined with the treated domestic and o yulicWcp4x vw.ultoaullcrosdvm 121997.doc 1 DEC.19 97 14:31 FROM:TURNER HART &HICKMAN 704-523-1037 T0:919 733 0719 PAGE:06 process wastewater. The permitted discharge flowrate for the CR Industries facility, per NPDES Permit No. NC0004260,is 0.148 million gallons per day(MOD). c:yullrtnprnsualiedoremiµl•q I21997,04 2 DEC.19 97 14:31 FROM:TURNER HART &HICKMAN 704-523-1037 T0:919 733 0719 PAGE:07 II. Evaluation of Disposal Alternatives Alternatives for disposal of the combined treated wastewater from the CR Industries facility in Gastonia are discussed below. The alternatives considered are: • Connection to a Publicly Owned Treatment Works(POTW); • Connection to a privately owned treatment works; • Individual subsurface systems; • Community subsurface systems; • Drip irrigation; • Spray irrigation; • Reuse; and • Surface Water Discharge through NPDES Program. A. Connection to an Existing or Planned Sewer Collection System Connection to the existing POTW is not cost effective due to line construction and continuing disposal charges. Per Mr. Reggie Davis, of the City of Gastonia, there is one most feasible connection point to the City of Gastonia's Crowders Creek treatment facility from the CR Industries plant. The connection point would involve construction of a 2,500 linear foot, gravity sanitary sewer line from the facility in easterly directio along Crowders Creek Road (NCSR 1103) to an existing sewer at Crowdcr's Trail near rowders Creek. Figure 1 displays this mute. In September of 1997, the engineering firm of Robinson& Sawyer, Inc. completed a study for CR Industries to estimate the cost of design and installation of sewer service to the facility using this route. The total estimated capital cost for providing this service was $219,245. This estimate included provisions for construction of 2,500 feet of new sewer, removal and replacement of asphalt, abandonment and removal of the existing discharge line, and boring and casing under Crowders Creek Road in two locations, but did not include provisions for possible Right-of-Way costs or rook excavation during construction. These requirements are likely to increase the actual cost of connection to the POTW beyond the above estimate. In addition to the capital cost, a monthly sewer use cost of approximately $14,105 would also be expected. These usage charges arc based upon rates provided by Mr. John Schuler of. the Gastonia Utilities Department. C:VellevepormIcoleCNtslllallres 121997.da 3 DEC-.19 97 14:31 FROM:TURNER HART &HICKMAN 704-523-1037 T0:919 733 0719 PAGE:08 A second alternative connection point to the POTW would be in 6w sterly dire ion at a point approximately 1,200 feet from the facility. While closer in distance than the previously discussed route, this connection would require a force main with pump stations to traverse a topographic rise to the west. Also, this route would require crossing of US Highway 321, and a Carolina and Northwestern Railroad line. Design, construction and operation of such a connection and pump stations would clearly be less favorable, both technically and economically, than the gravity line discussed above. While discharge to the POTW would enhance regionalization of flow before final discharge to Crowders Creek, the treated wastewater would ultimately be discharged to the same waterway and basin, only several miles downstream from the existing N'PDES outfall. Environmentally, this benefit would not justify the expenditure of an amount estimated to be greater than $212,000 for design and construction of the new sewer connection, plus S14,105 per month in sewer usage charges. There are no privately owned treatment works available in the vicinity of the CR Industries facility which would be capable of receiving the flow. B. Land!used/Subsurface Disposal The NC DENR"Injection Well /Infiltration Gallery Guidelines" as described in the May 13, 1993 Memorandum by Arthur Mouberry. P.E., Chief of the Groundwater Section, provides general design requirements for such facilities. These requirements state that the infiltration gallery (IG) or injection well (1W) shall be designed and operated as an element of a "closed- loop"subsurface system. The "closed-loop"system should be operated such that the 1G or IW: 1. is located within the"capture zone"of an on-site recovery system;AND 2. does not cause or contribute to (a) the migration of contaminants into previously uncontaminated areas, or(b) a violation of groundwater quality standards beyond the boundaries of the property on which the source of pollution is located. Figure 2 shows the location of CR Industries, the ground water recovery wells, and surrounding properties. At the CR Industries facility, ground water flow is generally in a c:liWtelreporakatieelouereuva 121997.4oa 4 DEC-s1.9 97 14:32 FROM:TURNER HART &HICKMAN 704-523-1037 T0:919 733 0719 PAGE:09 westerly or northwesterly direction. An IG or RV within the capture zone at the CR Industries property would have to be located east and southeast of the ground water recovery wells. However, the recovery wells, collecting the impacted ground water are located in the southeast portion of the property. Sufficient land, upgradient of the recovery wells is not available on the CR Industries property for land disposal of the wastewater. US Highway 321, and a Carolina and Northwestern Railroad line are located immediately east of the CR Industries property. The existing Detains Worsted Mills facility is located across the highway and railroad, directly to the east of CR Industries. The B. F. Goodrich chemical manufacturing facility is located across the highway and railroad, to the southeast of CR Industries. Therefore, additional land is not available to CR Industries for proper location of an infiltration gallery or injection well for the recovered ground water. For these same land availability reasons, land disposal options, such as subsurface systems, drip or spray irrigation systems for the combined process and domestic wastewater streams are also not technically feasible at this site. C. Reuse Water is used at the CR Industries facility for a variety of industrial purposes, as well as for employee/domestic use. Process uses include boiler water, mold washing, zinc phosphating rinse water,cooling tower make-up water, and chiller system make-up water. The facility boiler uses water for plant steam generation. The boiler is currently naming at only about 20% of capacity due to the plant's decreased steam requirements. The boiler is not considered a high water usage item at the facility. Purity of the water used in steam generation is critical to avoid solids build-up and fouling of the boiler system. Reuse of treated wastewater is not practical in the boiler supply water. A heated alkaline wash and rinse tank for mold washing is another small quantity user of water. Although this operation has been considered for possible water reuse, it is critical that the molds are well cleaned of oils and resins to avoid sticking of manufactured parts. Because of the C yviu.cpanekNIC ultcnaU.t I31997.ua 5 DEC7i:.9 97 14:32 FROM:TURNER HART &HICKMAN 704-523-1037 T0:919 733 0719 PAGE:10 critical nature of this cleaning operation and the potential for only small quantities of water to be saved,this process is not a good candidate for wastewater reuse. The zinc phosphating lines are the major users of process water at the CR Industries facility. While smaller quantities of water are used for chemical tank make-up in the process, rinse water in.this process is the major water requirement. In an effort to reduce water usage and wastewater generation, counter flow wastewater reuse has been instituted, where possible, in the zinc phosphating process. Through this method, clean rinse water is used only for the last rinse in the process line. The slightly contaminated rinse water from the final rinse tank is then transferred to the next to last rinse tank in the process, and from that rinse tank to the previous one, etc. Through this process, the quantity of rinse water required is greatly reduced, while the parts receive a progressively cleaner rinse as they move through the process. It is critical that the final rinse process is thorough. Inadequate rinsing in the zinc phosphating process results in excessive rusting of the metal parts produced. Additional reuse of treated wastewater is not currently possible in this process. The remaining processes consuming water are related to the facility's HVAC and chilled water system. Although the cooling tower and chiller system both operate as closed loop systems, some make-up water to replace blow-down and evaporated water is required. Reuse of treated wastewater in these systems would result in excess build up of dissolved solids and scaling in the equipment. CR Industries will continue efforts toward water use reduction and reuse at the Gastonia facility, however this is not currently a viable alternative to wastewater discharge. D. Surface Water Discharge through NPDES Program Wastewater from the facility is currently treated on-site and discharged via gravity pipeline to Crowders Creek via NPDES Permit No. N'C0004260. The addition of the treated ground water would not change the technical feasibility and cost effectiveness of this alternative. Environmentally, the on-site treatment of the wastewater to within permit discharge limitations cljvlie'.roperla eolle¢bI, uvc 12I997.doe 6 DEC-J7.9 97 14:32 FROM:TURNER HART &HICKMAN 704-523-1037 T0:919 733 0719 PAGE:11 and discharge to Crowders Creek would present no greater impact to the waterway and basin than would piping to the POTW followed by treatment and discharge to the same waterway. yljuli::npertAsalimAulNmaivu 121067.1115c 7 DEC119 97 14:32 FROM:TURNER HART &HICKMAN 704-523-1037 T0:919 733 0719 PAGE:12 III. Conclusions Of the discharge alternatives evaluated, only two have been found to be technically feasible at this time. These are: 1. surface water discharge to Crowders Creek via the existing NPDES permit; and 2. construction of a new 2,500 foot sewer line for discharge to the POTW. Both of these alternatives would result in discharge of the treated effluent to Crowders Creek in the Catawba River Basin. At this time, however, discharge to the POTW is not economically feasible. The benefits of such a project do not justify the design and construction cost for the sewer connection, which is estimated to be in excess of$200,000, plus a monthly sewer usage cost of more than S14,000_ Direct discharge of the treated effluent to Crowders Creek via the existing NPDES permitted outfall is recommended as the preferred discharge option at this time. • c:yulielraptrm'wNurcls6.mutivw 12101,1de 8 DECr79 97 14:33 FROM:TURNER HART &HICKMAN 704-523-1037 T0:919 733 0719 PAGE:13 IV.

NC0004260. The modification would involve an expansion of the permitted flow. CR Industries is one of several industries in the vicinity of the City of Gastonia's Crowders WWTP. The Division strongly supports regionalization of wastewater treatment facilities where possible. Thus, the Division requests that an alternative analysis for the total flow (existing flow and proposed expanded flow)be included in the modification application. As we discussed, the applicant can instead submit a separate NPDES permit application specifically for the groundwater remediation flow. In this case, the alternatives analysis would only cover the proposed groundwater remediation flow to be discharged. Enclosed is Short Form C-GW(and an accompanying set of instructions) to be completed and submitted if the applicant decides to apply for a separate NPDES permit. If you have any questions, please contact me at (919) 733- 5083 extension 580. Sincerely, aJ Paul B. Clark Enclosures • //2 k.. 41-1.H / r P.O.

Dear Mr. Goodrich: CA) On November 12, 1996, Resolve Environmental Services, P.A. (Resolve), on behalf of CR Industries and Coltec Industries, submitted a letter to the NPDES Permit Group which briefly outlined a proposed modification to NPDES Permit No. NC0004260. The location of the CR Industries facility is illustrated on an excerpt from an United States Geological Survey 7.5 minute series topographic map of the area presented in Figure 1. In a November 19, 1996 telephone conversation, Mr. Paul Clark indicated that the NPDES Permit Group required additional information to appropriately review the modification request, including a summary of the compounds detected in the on-site groundwater, a treatment system summary, and a brief evaluation of treated groundwater discharge alternatives. Mr. Clark also requested that we clarify the name of the receiving waters. This information is discussed below. Summary of Compounds A map that illustrates the layout of the facility, including the locations of monitor wells, is presented in Figure 2. Analysis of groundwater samples collected from monitor wells located to the west of the facility, MW-6, MW-12, MW-12A, R70M22 and R70M22A, indicate the presence of trichloroethene (TCE) and low concentrations of other VOCs. The primary or sole compound detected in groundwater samples collected from the Mr. David Goodrich Resolve , November 27, 1996 Page 2 monitor wells located along Crowders Creek Road, MW-10, MW-1, MW-lA, MW-1B, MW-2, MW-14, R70M24 and R70M25, is TCE. VOCs have not been detected in groundwater samples collected from the monitor wells installed to the north of the facility, R70M23, MW-5, MW-11, MW-4, R70M21 and R70M21A. Shallow monitor wells completed to the west of the facility, MW-12 and MW-14, indicate the presence of VOCs at cumulative concentrations less than 100 micrograms per liter (µg/1). Constituents detected in the groundwater at the CR Industries facility at concentrations above the North Carolina Groundwater Quality Standards (NCGQS) include TCE, tetrachloroethylene (PCE), cis-1,2-dichloroethylene (c- 1,2-DCE), methylene chloride (MC), 1,2-DCP, and chloroform (CF). Although MC was detected in several of the groundwater samples during the most recent sampling event, the detection of this compound is suspected to be attributable to laboratory procedures. A copy of the analytical data for the most recent sampling event, including a summary table, is provided in Attachment A. J\ Treatment System Summary °� �, Cr ,t The proposed groundwater treatment system will operate continuously/ Recovered groundwater is proposed to be treated using an air stripping process. Although the air stripper design is not final, this treatment alternative is anticipated to remove 95% to 99% of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) detected in the groundwater to be recovered at the CR Industries facility. Treated Groundwater Discharge Alternatives Three discharge alternatives are discussed for the treated groundwater discharge in the following paragraphs. These alternatives include discharging to Crowders Creek under the existing NPDES permit, discharging to an infiltration gallery/injection well system, and discharging to a sanitary sewer. Based on the discussion presented below, the most feasible and cost effective discharge alternative is to modify the existing NPDES permit to include the treated groundwater. NPDES (Crowders Creek) As previously discussed, CR Industries currently discharges wastewater generated by manufacturing operations to Crowders Creek under an NPDES permit. The location of the outfall is illustrated on Figure 1. All wastewater discharge is to be consistent with the terms and conditions of the permit, which includes daily flow and effluent compound concentration limitations and requires that the • Mr. David Goodrich Resolve November 27, 1996 Page 3 DEHNR be notified prior to altering facility operations that would change the nature and/or quantity of pollutants discharged. The addition of the proposed groundwater treatment system discharge, which is anticipated to recover and treat between eight and ten gallons per minute (gpm), to the NPDES outfall would increase the estimated daily flow by 11,520 to 14,400 gallons per day (gpd). We desire to modify the existing NPDES permit to include discharge from the groundwater treatment system. Infiltration Gallery/Injection Well Senate Bill 1156, June. 1992, allows for the installation of "closed-loop" groundwater remediation systems. A closed-loop system is defined as "..a system and attendant processes for cleaning up contaminated groundwater by pumping groundwater, treating the groundwater to reduce the concentration of or remove contaminants, and reintroducing the treated water beneath the surface so that the treated groundwater will be recaptured by the system." The closed-loop system can be accomplished by installing either an infiltration gallery (IG) or an injection well (IW). An IG is similar to a leach field used for septic tanks, where the treated water is re-introduced to the subsurface in the unsaturated soils. The porous medium surrounding the water discharge pipes allows the water to spread evenly across the field and slowly percolate into the subsurface soils and eventually into the aquifer. An IW is a vertical well, screened within or just above the water table, which re-introduces treated groundwater directly into the aquifer. The DEHNR has issued a memorandum outlining the requirements of and providing guidelines for the design and installation of IWs and IGs (Guideline)) According to the Guideline, the IG or IW must be located within the capture zone of an on-site recovery system and must not contribute to contaminant migration or cause a violation of groundwater quality standards off-site. Installation of an IG or IW will require a non-discharge groundwater remediation permit. The Guideline requires that for IGs or IWs to be installed on-site within the boundary restrictions and contaminant plume, the treatment system must reduce the contaminant concentrations by at least 95%, or must meet 15A NCAC 2L Standards. If the boundary restrictions cannot be met, treated effluent concentrations must meet 15A NCAC 2L Standards unless computer modeling 1DENHR Memorandum From Arthur Mouberry, P.E., dated May 13, 1993. Mr. David Goodrich Resolve - November 27, 1996 Page 4 • demonstrates that higher concentrations will not result in a contravention of the 2L Standards. The permit application must demonstrate that the operation of the IW will not violate North Carolina groundwater regulations and that through recharge testing and supporting calculations, the IW can handle the proposed flow. Finally, there are several design considerations to be addressed during the permitting process, including demonstration of hydraulic control of the injected fluids and its affects on the contaminant plume, with supporting pump test data. These requirements would require extensive pilot testing and modeling at the facility; therefore, the `nstallatio of an IG/IW system at the site is not feasible at this time. � c e7 , aa--•.-' }:cD4,h + Sanitary Sewer / The facility is not connected to the City of Gastonia public treatment works. Discharge of treated groundwater to the City sewer would involve the installation of approximately 4,500 feet of pipipg along Highway 321. C9-j A k v,A.) ; jam:^.

A An Aquarion Company t Definitions of Data Oualifiers and Terminology A number of data qualifiers are widely used within the environmental testing industry and may be utilized in our data reports. The following definitions of these qualifiers are included as a service to our clientele. The majority of the qualifiers have evolved from the EPA contract laboratory program (CLP). B - This flag is used when the analyte is found in the associated blank as well as in the sample. It indicates possible/probable blank contamination and warns the data user to use caution when applying the results of this analyte. BQL - Below Quantitation Limit indicates the compound was not detected in the sample above the practical quantitation limit. D - Indicates the compound was diluted below the calibration range. E - Indicates that the concentration of the specific compound exceeded the calibration range of the instrument for that particular analysis. J - Indicates an estimated value. The compound is determined to be present in the sample based on GC/MS criteria, but the amount is less than the sample quantitation limit. IEA-MA GC/MS reports do not typically report J-marked results. If requested, J-marked results are provided and the report flagged to verify that the data was appropriately reviewed. MDL- The method detection limit is defined as the minimum concentration of a substance that can be measured and reported with 99% confidence that the analyte concentration is greater than zero. NA - Not applicable or not available. ND - Indicates the compound or analyte was not detected in the sample above the method detection limit or the practical quantitation limit for the particular analysis. PQL- The practical quantitation limit is the lowest level that can be reliably achieved within specified limits of precision and accuracy during routine operating conditions. h:\reports\forms\dconwin\rpf00202.ma TEA An Aquarion Company • State Certifications In some instances it may be necessary for environmental data to be reported to a regulatory authority with reference to a certified laboratory. For your convenience, the laboratory identification numbers for the IEA-Massachusetts laboratory are provided in the following table. Many states certify laboratories for specific parameters or tests within a category(e.g. EPA method 624 for wastewater). The information in the following table indicates the lab is certified in a general category of testing such as drinking water or wastewater analysis. The laboratory should be contacted directly if parameter specific certification information is required.

Action on the application was suspended while CR Industries was adjudicating their permit which was issued November 25, 1996. CR Industries and the Division were able to resolve several issues without legal involvement and this resulted in a permit modification which was issued April 11, 1997. With receipt of this modification, CR Industries agreed to withdraw its adjudication. The Division requested (via letter dated October 6, 1997) that the applicant examine alternatives to surface water discharge. Regionalization is encouraged by the Division, particularly in instances where connection of one discharge to a large wastewater treatment facility appears to be a viable option. CR Industries has indicated to the Division that alternatives to surface water discharge are calculated to be cost prohibitive. The Division may concur with CR Industries' assessment, but requests that an alternatives analysis be submitted. Refer to the subject permit application number when providing the requested information. Please submit three copies of all information to my attention at the address below. Also, please note that failure to provide this additional information by January 2, 1997, will subject your application to being returned as incomplete, in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0208.

Review of the permit development calculations for some of the toxicant limits indicated an error. This error was corrected,the limits have been revised, and a modified Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements sheet is enclosed. The Notice of Withdrawl of Petition is also enclosed. As was confirmed during a telephone conversation between Paul Clark of our staff and yourself; CR Industries and the Division were able to resolve issues pertaining to the adjudication during the March 27, 1997 meeting between Dave Goodrich and Paul Clark of our staff and Larry Kagel and yourself. Thus,CR Industries has decided it would withdraw its adjudication of the above-referenced permit upon receipt of the enclosed permit modification. Please find enclosed the modified section of the permit referenced in the preceding paragraph. Replace the original sections in your permit with the newer enclosed sections and discard the original sections. All other terms and conditions contained in the original permit remain unchanged and in full effect. These permit modifications are issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statutes 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

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 US Environmental Protection agency dated December 6, 1983. In response to your original request to remove cadmium, chromium and silver parameters from your permit, after review of the Code of Federal Regulation Part 433 for Metal Finishing Point Sources, cadmium, chromium and silver must continue to be a part of the NPDES permit. However, based on past data, monitoring frequency for cadmium and chromium will be reduced to twice per month. In response to your comment letter of June 1, 1994 regarding the draft permit, the following will respond to your questions in the order that you posed them. The Division concurs with a reduction of monitoring frequency for BOD5, Dissolved Oxygen, TSS, NH3 as N and Fecal Coliform as requested. Language in Condition G has been changed to require connection to the Crowders Creek Plant if that facility is compliant with its NPDES permit to my satisfaction and it is economically and environmentally feasible for your treatment facility to do so. This was the decision rendered after considering the public comments at the January 25, 1995 public meeting and the hearing officer's recommendations. In response to extending the permit expiration to five years from the state three years, the Division is handling your facility as part of a basinwide management plan. To insure all facilities within the basin have the same expiration date, the expiration date of this permit has been shortened for this cycle only. With implementation of the basinwide permitting schedule, the next permit will be issued for five years. P.O.

DEM or Division Means the Division of Environmental Management,Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources. 3. EMC Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission. 4. Act or"the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act,also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq. 5. Mass/Dv 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 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 II Page 3 of 14 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). Part II Page 4 of 14 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.

Part II Page 8 of 14 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 necessary 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 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 Part 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 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. 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. 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 U, 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 143-215.1 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.

CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT(QRTRLY) The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in: 1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic Bioassay Procedure- Revised *September 1989) or subsequent versions. The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality is 3.3% (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document). The permit holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance with the permit condition. The first test will be performed after thirty days from the effective date of this permit 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. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code TGP3B. Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch North Carolina Division of Environmental Management 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 this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re-opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits. NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate retesting(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements. F. Nutrient Condition for Permits Without Phosphorus Limits This permit may be modified, or revoked and reissued to include an effluent limitation on nutrients for this discharge depending upon the following: 1. The findings of a study by the Division of Environmental Management determine nutrient control is necessary. 2. Local actions do not successfully reduce the nutrient loading on the receiving waters. 3. The onset of problem conditions in the receiving waters. • G. This discharge has been targeted for removal from the Crowders Creek drainage basin through connection to the City of Gastonia Crowders Creek Wastewater Treatment Facilities. Upon the demonstration of compliance with NPDES Permit NC0074268 by the Crowders Creek Wastewater Treatment Facility to the satisfaction of the Director of Environmental Management and the availability of a sewer connection to the Crowders Creek system as the most environmentally sound alternative of the reasonably cost-effective alternatives this discharge shall be eliminated within one hundred eighty(180) days of notification by the Division.

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 the November 12, 1996 letter from Karen Heater(Resolve Environmental) stating CR Industries' intent to modify NPDES Permit No. NC0004260. As Paul Clark of our staff discussed with Karen Heater, the Division requests additional information before the modification application is considered complete. Specifically, the Division requests that an alternatives analysis be conducted which addresses; connection to a POTW, use of a subsurface infiltration gallery, and use of a spray irrigation system. This alternatives analysis should examine not only the flow generated by the groundwater remediation, but CR Industries' entire wastewater flow. Groundwater monitoring analytical results should also be sent to the Division so that the groundwater contamination constituents can be identified. The method(s)used to analyze the groundwater should be provided along with the results. 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 demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding. Please take note that this permit is not transferable. Part II, E.4. addresses the requirements to be followed in case of change in ownership or control of this discharge. This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water Quality or permits required by the Division of Land Resources or any other Federal or Local governmental permit that may be required. r l?

The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure(North Carolina Chronic Bioassay Procedure- Revised *September 1989) or subsequent versions. The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality is 3.3 % (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document). The permit holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance with the permit condition. The first test will be performed after thirty days from the effective date of this permit during the months of February,May, August, and November. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted fmal effluent discharge below all treatment processes. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form(MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code TGP3B. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch North Carolina Division of Water Quality 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 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 and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate retesting(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements. A(3)NUTRIENT CONDITIONS FOR PERMITS WITHOUT PHOSPHORUS LIMITS This permit may be modified, or revoked and reissued to include an effluent limitation on nutrients for this discharge depending upon the following: 1. The findings of a study by the Division of Water Quality determine nutrient control is necessary. 2.Local actions do not successfully reduce the nutrient loading on the receiving waters. 3. The onset of problem conditions in the receiving waters. Permit No. NC0004260 SUPPLEMENT TO EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS SPECIAL CONDITIONS PAGE (Continued) A(4) This discharge has been targeted for removal for the Crowders Creek drainage basin through connection to the City of Gastonia Crowders Creek Wastewater Treatment Facilities. Upon the demonstration of compliance with NPDES Permit NC0074268 by the Crowders Creek Wastewater Treatment Facility to the satisfaction of the Director of Water Quality and the availability of a sewer connection to the Crowders Creek system as the most environmentally sound alternative of the reasonably cost-effective alternatives this discharge shall be eliminated within one hundred eighty(180) day of notification by the Division. A (5) NUTRIENTS It has been determined by the Division of Water Quality through intensive water quality studies that discharges upstream of Lake Wylie, including this discharge, need to control nutrients through the application of the best available technology(BAT)that is economically achievable. The permittee shall provide the Division with a study which fully investigates the feasibility of meeting a monthly average TP limit of 1.0 mg/1, and a summertime TN limit of 6 mg/l. If it is determined to be beyond reasonable BAT to reach such concentrations of nutrients,the Division will apply BAT limits based on the result of this study and the performance of other similar plants. The nutrient study should be completed by November 1, 1999, and submitted to the following address: North Carolina Division of Water Quality Water Quality Section/Technical Support Branch P.O.

Part II Page 1 of 14 PART II 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 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. PartII 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 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 II Page 3 of 14 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 II Page 4 of 14 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.

Such operator must hold a certification of the grade equivalent to or greater than the classification assigned to the wastewater treatment facilities by the Certification Commission. The permittee must also employ a certified back-up operator of the appropriate type and any grade to comply with the conditions of Title 15A,Chapter 8A .0202. The ORC of the facility must visit each Class I facility at least weekly and each Class II, III, and IV facility at least daily, excluding weekends and holidays, and must properly manage and document daily operation and maintenance of the facility and must comply with all other conditions of Title 15A, Chapter 8A .0202. Once the facility is classified, the permittee shall submit a letter to the Certification Commission which designates the operator in responsible charge within thirty days after the wastewater treatment facilities are 50% complete. 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. Part II Page 8 of 14 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 necessary 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 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. Part II Page 9 of 14 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. 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 II, 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 143-215.1 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. Part II Page 10 of 14 SECTION D. MONITORING AND RECORDS 1. Representative Sampling Samples collected and measurements taken, as required herein, shall be characteristic of the volume and nature of the permitted discharge. Samples collected at a frequency less than daily shall be taken on a day and time that is characteristic of the discharge over the entire period which the sample represents. All samples shall be taken at the monitoring points specified in this permit and, unless otherwise specified, before the effluent joins or is diluted by any other wastestream, body of water, or substance. Monitoring points shall not be changed without notification to and the approval of the Permit Issuing Authority. 2. Reporting Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and reported on a monthly Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Form (DEM No. MR 1, 1.1, 2, 3) or alternative forms approved by the Director, DEM, postmarked no later than the 30th day following the completed reporting period. The first DMR is due on the last day of the month following the issuance of the permit or in the case of a new facility, on the last day of the month following the commencement of discharge. Duplicate signed copies of these, and all other reports required herein, shall be submitted to the following address: Division of Water Quality Water Quality Section ATTENTION: Central Files Post Office Box 29535 Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535 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 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; 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 PartII Page 11 of 14 reporting levels below permit discharge requirements, then the most sensitive (method with the lowest possible detection and reporting level)approved method must be used. 5. Penalties for Tampering The Clean Water Act provides that any person who falsifies, tampers with,or knowingly renders inaccurate, any monitoring device or method required to be maintained under this permit shall, upon conviction,be punished by a fine of not more than$10,000 per violation,or by imprisonment for not more than two years per violation, or by both.

Facility Name CR Industries Permit # NC0004260 Pipe # 001 CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY) The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in: 1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic Bioassay Procedure - Revised'*September 1989) or subsequent versions. The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality is 3.3 % (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document). The permit holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance with the permit condition. The first test will be performed after thirty days from the effective date of this permit during the months of Feb., May, Aug., and Nov. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code TGP3B. Additionally,DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch North Carolina Division of Environmental Management 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 this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re-opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits. NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate retesting(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements. , \ 7Q10 6.7 cfs _> ),,,--i__ ,.

Enclosed is a check for $400 to cover the application fee. Our request for modification of the current permit is to reduce the monitoring frequency for all the metals which include chromium, cadmium, copper, lead, nickel, silver, zinc, and cyanide from weekly or bimonthly to monthly. We are also requesting that the weekly sampling frequency for BOD, DO, TSS, NH3, and oils/grease be reduced to monthly. It is CR Industries' belief that the historical sampling events and their results justify this modification to the permit. If you have any questions, please contact me.

Date rorm Completed Name of Autnonzed Agent Signature • 15 Directions-For each parameter listed,complete the information requested in each column in the units specified according to the instructions given below. Column 1-Enter the daily average value of the intake water at the point it enters the facility. If intake water if from more than one source,and enters the facility at separate entry points,the value given in column 1 should be weighted proportional to the quantity of flow contributed from each source. If water is treated before use,completion of this column is not required(see instructions for column 2). Values of intake are not required for mining activities. Column 2-If all or part of intake water is treated before use, provide values for total intake here instead on in Column 1, Also describe briefly in item 26'additional information,'the type of treatment performed on intake water(e.g.,rapid sand filtration,coagulation,flocculation,ion exchange,etc.)and the percent of intake water contributing to this discharge that has been treated. Column 3 -Supply daily average value for the days when discharge is actually operating or is expected to be operating(a new discharge). Daily average values are to be computed by weighing the daily value in proportion to the daily flow. If a discharge occurs irregularly,the value supplied in the column marked'Daily Average'should represent an average for the average for the days the discharge actually occurs.Average values are not to be supplied for pH,specific conductance,and bacteriological parameters(e.g.,colifor m bacteria). Columns 4 and 5-Supply minimum and maximum value observed(or expected for new discharge)over any one day when the discharge is operating. Column 6-Specify the average frequency of analysis for each parameter as number analyses per number of days(e.g.,'3/7'is equivalent to three analyses performed every 7 days). If continuous,enter'CONT.' When analyses are conducted on more than one individual grab sample collected during the same day,the analysis frequency should reflect one analysis whose value is the average of the individual grab sample measurements. Average frequency should be based on an operating month. Column 7-Specify the number of analyses performed at the average frequency specified in column 6,up to 365. Column 8-Specify sample type as follows: G For grab sample(individual sample collected in less than 15 minutes). #C For composite sample#is to be replaced by the average number of hours over which the composite sample was collected. Composite samples are combinations of individual samples obtained at intervals over a time period,either the volume of each individual sample is directly proportional to discharge flow rates or the sampling interval(for constant volume samples)is inversely proportional to the flow rates over the time period used to produce the composite. NA If'CONT'was entered in column 6. Analytical methods-Appendix A contains all parameters with their reporting levels,test descriptions,and references. The parameter values can be determined either by use of the standard analytical methods as described in table A or by methods previously approved by tie EPA Regional • Administrator or Director of a federally approved State program(or their authorized representative)who has jurisdiction over the State in which the discharge occurs. If the test used is not one shown in table A,the test procedure should be referenced in'Remarks'or on a separate sheet. If values are determined to be less than the detectable limits(as determined by referenced standard analytical techniques and/or instrument manufacturer's literature),specify'LT(Value of detectable limit)'in the appropriate space. For example,if the detectable limit is.005 mg/I and quantities of less than this are determined,specify'LT.005.' Do not enter descriptors such as 'TRACE,''NEG,'etc.for this purpose. If it is your reasoned judgment that one or more of the required parameters is not present in the initial untreated or treated process water and/or the discharge,enter an'A' (meaning'absent')in the appropriate space. In order for values reported to be representative,it is recommended that they be based on from at least five to seven analyses of composite samples(if applicable). Each of the composite samples should be obtained by compositing frequent samples in proportion to flow over an operating day. Samples should be taken during period of maximum production,if possible. If samples are taken at periods of less than • maximum production,state in'Remarks'the percent of maximum production that was obtained during the sampling period.

Waste activated sludge is removed periodically from the package plant that treats sanitary waste from the facility. A Liquid Waste, Inc., pumper truck conveys the sludge for disposal at a North Carolina permitted treatment facility operated by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utility Department. A letter confirming Liquid Waste, Inc., services is attached. The industrial wastewater sludge is generated in the precipitation floculatron and dissolved air flotation process and is dewatered using a plate and frame filter press. The filtrate is returned to the treatment system. The dewatered sludge has been determined to be a RCRA nonhazardous waste material and is being disposed in a South Carolina Waste Management, Inc., landfill. Approximately 150,000 pounds of sludge is disposed of yearly. Shipments are made monthly using a twelve cubic yard roll-off container.

P_M • Instructions The purpose of this document and the accompanying memo is to standardize the sampling analysis and reporting procedures to be used fcr the Annual Pollutant Analysis Monitoring (APAM) Requirement as described in the permit. Sampling 1 - Take a 24-hour comecsite sample from the final effluent during mid-week(Wednesday through Friday).Collect a grab sample for the volatile organic fraction when collection of the 24-hour composite sample is completed.Follow any other sampling instructions provided by the laboratory performing the analysis. whether a corresponding sample for toxicity testing was taken. 2 • Indicate in the space provided at the top of this pag.. 3 • Make note of any unusual wastewater treatment operating conditions occurring on the day of sampling in the space provided on the form. Analysis4 • Analyze the effluent for pollutants listed on the APAM form,including those to be identified and approximately quantified under the 10 significant peaks rule,using appropriate E?A•approved methods for each of the analytic fractions.Other analytical methods can be substituted only with prior, written approval of the Director of the Division of Environmental Management(DEM). Read and distribute to the laboratory performing the analysis the accompanying memo(Tedder. October 1960)clarifying analytical requirements. - Identify chemicals to be analyzed for according to the 10 significant peaks rule(as described in item 2 of the Annual Pollutant Analysis Monitoring Requirement in the permit)using a GClMS library search.Tentative identification is all that is required;confirmation by standard injection is not necessary. Estimate the concentration of each based on an internal standard having the closest retention time. • Reporting . • 6 • Cuantitation Limit Targets that should be met are listed on this Revised APAM Reporting Form A.Report the use of any higher quantita- tion limit and an explanation as to why the listed quantitation limit target could not be met.Examples of acceptable reasons for not meeting a quantitation limit target could be high background concentrations in a sample,or the necessity for sample fraction dilution to bring a chemical List to within a quantifiable concentration. any quantitation limit ditfertent(whether higher or lower) from the target in the column provided for this purpose. 7 - If a chemical is found to be below the quantitation limit, report the concentration detected as less than(or'<7 the quantitation limit in the appropriate space.Provide a concentration estimate for chemicals detected in concentrations greater than the detection limit and less than the quantitation limit.Enter the detection limit in parentheses beside the estimate.Chemicals detected in concentrations above the quan- titation limits must be quantified.Quantitation limit and detection limit are defined in the accompanying memo(Tedder,October 1990).Enter the total number of peaks detected in each analytic fraction in the appropriate space on this Revised APAM Form A.Report all concentrations in units of micrograms per liter(ugh1)and metals as total recoverable metal.If no peaks to be identified under the 10 significant peaks rule are observed,enter"none"in the space provided for"other"compounds in each appropriate analytic fraction section.Provide the concentra- tion estimate and retention time for"unknowns" as well as for"significant peaks" for which a structural assignment can be made. 8 • If"significant peaks"are found, provide probable molecular weight,library match probability, retention time,identification basis,and MS scan number for each. In addition, list internal standards and their retention times. • 9 - In the section labeled "Organic Analytical Information" (p. 9), include for each organic fraction the method, extraction technique,GC operating conditions, and surrogate recovery. Report the size of the GCMS library being utilized in the appropriate space. • 10 • Use copies of this Annual Pollutant Analysis Monitoring Revised Form A to report the results of the analysis.Both the analytical laboratory representative and the facility operator in responsible charge should sign completed forms (last page). 11 • Mail completed copies of the form(and the laboratory report,if submitted to the facility on a different )to;ATTN:Central Civisicn oftwo Env Environmental Management,,NC OEHNR,P.O.Box 27687,Raleigh,NC 27611.Mail the APAM form separatelynfrom Discharge MonitoFring Reports. • • A.

Werts CR Industries 4307 South York Road Gastonia, North Carolina 28053-1767 Subject: NPDES Permit No. NC0004260 CR Industries Gaston County, NC Dear Werts: Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC0004260 was issued on April 26, 1995 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 4-5. Pages 4-5 set forth the effluent limitations and monitoring requirements for your discharge(s) . Your discharge(s) must not exceed any of the limitations set forth. The section headed "Monitoring Requirements" describes the measurement frequencies, sample types and sampling locations. Upon commencement of your discharge (or operation) , you must initiate the required monitoring. The monitoring results must be entered on the reporting forms furnished to you by this Agency. If you have not received these forms, they should be arriving shortly. If you fail to receive the forms, please contact this Office as quickly as possible. I have enclosed a sample of the "Effluent" reporting form (DEM Form MR-1) , plus instructions for completing the form. It is imperative that all applicable parts be completed, and the original and one copy be submitted as required. The remaining Parts of the Permit set forth definitions, general conditions and special conditions applicable to the operation of wastewater treatment facilities and/or discharge(s) . The conditions include special reporting requirements in the 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 919 North Main Street,Mooresville, North Carolina 28115 Telephone 704-663-1699 FAX 704-663-6040 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50%recycled/ 10%post-consumer paper Mr. Robert L. Werts May 4, 1995 Page Two facilities. Any changes in operation of wastewater treatment facilities, quantity and type of wastewater being treated or discharged, expansions and/or upgrading of wastewater treatment facilities must be permitted or approved by this Agency. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of an NPDES Permit subjects the Permittee to enforcement action pursuant to Section 143-215. 6 of the North Carolina General Statutes. A civil penalty of up to $10,000 per violation (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 Consent Order may be necessary while pursuing action to obtain compliance. As a final note, an NPDES Permit is normally issued for a five-year period. Permits are not automatically renewed. Renewal requests must be submitted to this Agency no later than 180 days prior to expiration. Please make note of the expiration date of your Permit. This date is set forth on Page 1 of the Permit. Also note that NPDES Permits are not transferable. If you, as the Permittee, cease to need this Permit, then you should request that the Permit be rescinded. As mentioned previously, the purpose of this letter is to advise you of the importance of your NPDES Permit. Please read the Permit and contact this Office at 704/663-1699 in Mooresville if you have any questions or need clarification. We look forward to providing any assistance. Sincerely, • `t' i D.

The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic Bioassay Procedure - Revised *September 1989)or subsequent versions. The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality is_3.3 % (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document). The permit holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance with the permit condition. The first test will be performed after thirty days from the effective date of this permit during the months of _FEB MAY AUG NOV . Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form(MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code TGP3B. Additionally,DEM Form AT-1 (original)is to be sent to the following address: Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch North Carolina Division of Environmental Management 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 this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream,this permit may be re-opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits. NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate retesting(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements. 7Q10 6.7 cfs Permitted Flow 0.148 MGD R ommended by: IWC 3.3 % Basin &Sub-basin CTB37 Receiving Stream Crowders Creek County Gaston Date 4/8/94 QCL P/F Version 9/91 r e 470 State of North Carolina Department of Environment, Health,and Natural Resources Division of Environmental Management 512 North Salisbury Street•Raleigh,North Carolina 27604 James G.

Part II Page 1of14 PART II STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS SECTION A. DEFINITIONS 1. Permit Issuing Authority The Director of the Division of Environmental Management. 2. DEM or Division Means the Division of Environmental Management, Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources. 3. EMC Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission. 4. Act or"the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq. 5. Mass/Day Measurements a. The "monthly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" in Part I of the permit. b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar week(Sunday- Saturday)on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" in Part I of the permit. c. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged during a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as "Daily Maximum," in Part I of the permit. Part II Page 2 of 14 d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured,divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year. It is,therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in Part I of the permit. 6. Concentration Measurement a. The "average monthly concentration,"other than for fecal 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 Units" in Part I of the permit. b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar week (Sunday/Saturday)on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under"Other Units" in Part I of the permit. c. The "maximum daily concentration"is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration of pollutant calculated from it is the "Maximum Daily Concentration". It is identified as "Daily Maximum" under "Other Units" in Part I of the permit. d. The"average annual concentration,"other than for fecal coliform bacteria,is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day . The average yearly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar year. e. The"daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen)is the minimum allowable amount of dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge averaged over a calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a calendar day, the sample is considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the discharge. It is identified as "daily average" in the text of Part I. Part II Page 3 of 14 f. The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a calendar quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I of the permit. g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June,July through September,and October through December. 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. 9. Calculation of Means a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. Part II Page 4 of 14 b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the product of the individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values. The geometric mean is equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero(0) shall be considered to be one (1). c. Weighted by Flow 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. SECTION B. GENERAL CONDITIONS 1. Duty to Comply The permittee must comply with all conditions of this permit. Any permit noncompliance constitutes a violation of the Clean Water Act and is grounds for enforcement action; for permit termination, revocation and reissuance, or modification; or denial of a permit renewal application. a. The permittee shall comply with effluent standards or prohibitions established under section 307(a) of the Clean Water Act for toxic pollutants and with standards for sewage sludge use or disposal established under section 405(d)of the Clean Water Act within the time provided in the regulations that establish these standards or prohibitions, even if the permit has not yet been modified to incorporate the requirement. b. The Clean Water Act provides that any person who violates a permit condition is subject to a civil penalty not to exceed$25,000 per day for each violation. Any person who negligently violates any permit condition is subject to criminal penalties of$2,500 to$25,000 per day of violation, or imprisonment for not more than 1 year, or both. Any person who knowingly violates permit conditions is subject to criminal penalties of$5,000 to $50,000 per day of violation, or imprisonment for not more than 3 years, or both. Also, any person who violates a permit condition may be assessed an administrative penalty not to exceed $10,000 per violation with the maximum amount not to exceed $125,000. [Ref: Section 309 of the Federal Act 33 U.S.C. 1319 and 40 CFR 122.41 (a)] Part II Page 5 of 14 c. Under state law, a daily civil penalty of not more than ten thousand dollars ($10,000) per violation may be assessed against any person who violates or fails to act in accordance with the terms, conditions, or requirements of a 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 necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the condition of this permit. 4. $ypassing 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 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; •I Part II Page 9 of 14 (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. 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. Affect of an upset. An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with such technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance,is final administrative action subject to judicial review. c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset. A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate, through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that: (a) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s)of the upset; (b) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and (c) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II, E. 6. (b) (B) of this permit. (d) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part II, 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. Part II Page 10 of 14 6. Removed Substances Solids, sludges, filter backwash,or other pollutants removed in the course of treatment or control of wastewaters shall be disposed of in accordance with NCGS 143-215.1 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 disposal of sludge may be reopened and modified, or revoked and reissued, to incorporate applicable requirements at 40 C;1~1R 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. SECTION D. MONITORING AND RECORDS 1. Representative Sampling Samples collected and measurements taken, as required herein, shall be characteristic of the volume and nature of the permitted discharge. Samples collected at a frequency less than daily shall be taken on a day and time that is characteristic of the discharge over the entire period which the sample represents. All samples shall be taken at the monitoring points specified in this permit and, unless otherwise specified, before the effluent joins or is diluted by any other wastestream, body of water, or substance. Monitoring points shall not be changed without notification to and the approval of the Permit Issuing Authority. 2. Reporting Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and reported on a monthly Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Form (DEM No. MR 1, 1.1, 2, 3) or alternative forms approved by the Director, DEM, postmarked no later than the 30th day following the completed reporting period.
