The Division has reviewed your submittal of the No -Exposure Certification for Exclusion from NPDES
Stormwater Permitting form, which we received on March 8, 2007. Based on your submittal and signed
certification of no exposure at the above referenced facility, the Division is granting your certification as
provided for under 40 CFR 126.22(g), which is incorporated by reference in North Carolina regulations, and
hereby rescinding your current Certificate of Coverage NCG030413.
Please note that by our acceptance of your no exposure certification, you are obligated to maintain no
exposure conditions at your facility. If conditions change such that your facility can no longer qualify for a no -
exposure exclusion, you are obligated to immediately obtain NPDES permit coverage for your stormwater
discharge. Otherwise, the discharge becomes subject to enforcement as an un-permitted discharge. Your
conditional no -exposure exclusion expires in five years (August 31, 2012). At that time you must re -certify
with the Division, or obtain NPDES permit coverage for any stormwater discharges from your facility.
Your certification of no exposure does not affect your facility's legal requirements to obtain environmental
permits that may be required under other federal, state, or local regulations or ordinances.
If you have any questions or need further information, please contact Sarah Young at [phone], ext.
502, or at [e-mail].
Sincerely,
for Coleen H. Sullins

Certificate of Coverage NCG500185
General Permit NCG500000
Formerly NPDES Permit NC0025411
Gaston County
The Division of Environmental Management has recently evaluated all existing individual permits for potential
coverage under general permits currently issued by the Division. 15A N.C.A.C. 2H .0127 allows the Division to
evaluate groups of permits having similar discharge activities for coverage under general permits and issue
coverage where the Division finds control of the discharges more appropriate in this manner. The Division has
determined that the subject discharge qualifies for such coverage. Therefore, the Division is hereby issuing the
subject Certificate of Coverage under the state-NPDES general permit no. NCG500000 which shall void NPDES
Permit NC0025411. This Certificate of Coverage is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina and the
US Environmental Protection Agency Memorandum of Agreement dated December 6,1983 and as subsequently
amended.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this general permit are unacceptable to
you, you have the right to submit an individual permit application, associated processing fee and letter requesting
coverage under an individual permit. Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding. Please
take notice this Certificate of Coverage is not transferable. Part II, EA. addresses the requirements to be followed
in case of change of ownership or control of this discharge.
In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance conditions, the
Permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including those as may be required by this Division, such as the
construction of additional or replacement wastewater treatment or disposal facilities. Construction of any
wastewater treatment facilities will require issuance of an Authorization to Construct from this Division.
Failure to abide by the requirements contained in this Certificate of Coverage and respective general permit may
subject the Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division of Environmental Management in accordance with
North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A to 143-215.6C. Please note that the general permit does require
monitoring in accordance with federal law. The monitoring data is not required to be submitted to the Division
unless specifically requested, however, the permittee is required to maintain all records for a period of at least
three (3) years.

Certificate of Coverage No. NCG500185
The issuance of this Certificate of Coverage is an administrative action initiated by the Division of
Environmental Management and therefore, no fees are due at this time. In accordance with current rules, there
are no annual administrative and compliance monitoring fees for coverage under general permits. The only fee
you will be responsible for is a renewal fee at the time of renewal. The current permit expires July 31, 1997.
This coverage will remain valid through the duration of the attached general permit. The Division will be
responsible for the reissuance of the general permit and at such time, you will be notified of the procedures to
follow to continue coverage under the reissued permit. Unless you fail to follow the procedures for continued
coverage, you will continue to be permitted to discharge in accordance with the attached general permit.
The issuance of this Certificate of Coverage does not preclude the Permittee from complying with any and all
statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances which may be required by the Division of Environmental Management
or permits required by the Division of Land Resources, the Coastal Area Management Act or any Federal or
Local other governmental permit that may be required.

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 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 oermit.
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 H
Page 3 of 14
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.

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.
W 9 .
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:
(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

Dear Mr. Hunt:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NCO025411 was
issued on September 16, 1991 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 is Page 4.
Page 4 sets 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).

September 18, 1991
The conditions include special reporting requirements in the
event of noncompliance, bypasses, treatment unit/process
failures, etc. Also addressed are requirements for a certified
wastewater treatment plant operator if you are operating
wastewater treatment facilities. Any changes in operation of
wastewater treatment facilities, quantity 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 plus 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.

Act, also know as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 U.S.C.
1251, et. seq.
b. The "daily average" discharge means the total discharge
by weight during a calendar month divided by the number of
days in the month that the production or commercial facility
was operating. Where less than daily sampling is required by
this permit, the daily average discharge shall be determined
by the summation of all the measured daily discharges by
weight divided by the number of days sampled during the
calendar month when the measurements were made.
C. The "daily maximum" discharge means the total discharge
by weight during any calendar day.
I 5

d. DEM or Division: means the Division of Environmental
Management, Department of Natural Resources and Community
Development.
e. EMC: used herein means the North Carolina Environmental
Management Commission.
f. Flow, M3/day (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this
permit is the 24 hour average flow, averaged monthly. It is
determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows
recorded during the calendar month.
g. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of
values is the summation of the individual values divided by
the number of individual values.
h. 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).
i. Composite Sample: These samples consist of grab samples
collected at equal intervals and combined proportional to
flow, a sample continuously collected proportionally to
flow, or equal volumes taken at varying time intervals. If a
composite sample is obtained from grab samples, the
following requirements apply. The intervals between influent
grab samples shall be no greater than hourly. Intervals
between effluent grab samples shall be no greater than
hourly except where the detention time of the wastewater in
the facility is greater than 24 hours, in which case, the
interval between grab samples shall be no greater in number
of hours than the detention time in number of days;
provided, however, in no case may the time between effluent
grab samples be greater than six hours nor the number of
grab samples less than four during any discharge period of
24 hours or less.
j. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples
collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes;
the grab sample can be taken manually.

it is suggested that you thoroughly read the Permit. Of particular importance
is Page I-3.
Page I-3 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 the DMR 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 form, 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, otherwise the forms may be
returned to you as incomplete. Failure to properly complete the forms may
also result in an automatic $300.00 fine.
The remaining Parts of the Permit (Parts II and III) 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

Dear Mr. Gleason:
In my letter to Mr. Van Jones of September 14, 1981 I requested
that grab samples be taken only at the point of discharge. I
copied you with a letter from our Mr. Jim Lewis dated July 27, 1977
which agreement between your Mr. Jim Cabel and Mr. Lewis was that
downstream samples would not be required.
I also talked with your Mr. Bill Lynch during a visit to the
Mooresville office regarding this matter. He does not feel that
downstream samples are necessary because we are the originator of
the stream. There is no upstream except during rain or storm
conditions.
Mr. Gleason, we are contributing nothing that would show up down-
stream that we don't catch at the discharge point, therefore I
don't see the necessity of downstream samples.
I am requesting that downstream sampling be omitted.
If you have any questions please give me a call.
Very truly yours,

is the origin of ti4 rec�ivinq strear,i and since only downstreami samples would
reflect the effluent's conditions, it was requested by Mr. Frye that Mix
Corporation's NPOES Permit be amended to delete any downstream monitoring.
An evaluation of IT. Frye's request was viade by members of this Office
and the request was found to be reasonable.

Water Discharge Permit No. M0025431
DATES . Ity 21, 1976
In order to comply with the term, of the permit to discharge waste Water from the Allen Plant
in the local open waters, we must do the following:
A. Sample the discharge water on a monthly basis and to make the following analysiss
1. Temperature
2. Chromium (total)
3. Residual Chlorine
4. PH
B. Measure the flow rate of the discharge on a weekly basis.
C. To report the ncciLmdated data on Form DEM No.T% 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 on a ,mnthly
basis to the: (to begin testing in June of 1976 and the first data to be reported by
July 15, 1975)
Division of Environmental Management
Water Quality Section
R)st Office Box 27ZO7
Raleigh, North Carolina 27611
D. To record th9 following data in a log book:
1. The exact place, date, and time of sampling.
2. The dates the analysis were performed.
3. The person Who performed the analysis.
k. The analytical techniques or methods used.
'. The re3ults of all required analysis.
B. To maintain records covering at least a 3 year period not only of the accumulated date
but also a maintenance record of the instrumentation.
* The sampling should be done in this fashion:
for temperature:
Insert a dial thermometer bulb directly into the flowing water in the
sample basin and note the temperature after the bulb has been in the
water for four consecutive minutes.
for flow: Insert a container of known size into the stream and time the rate of
fill with a stop watch.
for chromium
for chlorine
for PH: Fill a quart size container with flowing water from the sample basin and
seal the container. The product engineering lab has a. PH meter and
colorimetric analytic instruments to accurately measure chromium, chlorine
and PH by using the same techiiques that are currently in use to measure
these same elementjas are found in engine coc'_ants. '
R
* All sampling should be done on dry days when no other surface - n-off could possibly interfere
with-thp accuracy of the desired measurements.
Also during, this sampling the operator should make note of any floating solids or visible foam
from the discharge althrough none should exist.

Foo��
the permit states that P'd upstrcam and down streamin the unnamed tributary rrast
almasured as well as measuring the PH of the discharge, we are to measure only the
PH of *ha discharge.
?fir. L�rz^� Cobel of NPDE> at Moorosville N.C. has verified the omic�ion of the u and down
strea�a t:.eas�iren� ue to the loca „ion a� a an • with the loca 'ion o tri utary aiul t e
good possibility of contamination other than that of ttie Wix discharge entering into the
measurement.
The assembled data should be chaneled to one person who will be responsible to keep the log
and to send the completed form* to the Eavironmontal Management Con.--assion.
* Fnrrrz are being sent to me. When the supply is exharsted, more are available from the
Eavirotrental MrLigement Commission.
When people have been selected to fulfill the responsibilities, we can instruct them in
proper techniques.
