• Part III Permit No. NC0005274
D. 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 0.38% (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 January, April, July and October. 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.
E. Biocide Condition
The permittee shall obtain authoriztion from the Division of Environmental Management prior to
utilizing any biocide in the cooling water. The permittee shall notify the Director in writing not
later than ninety (90)days prior to instituting use of any additional biocide used in cooling systems
which may be toxic to aquatic life other than those previously reported to the Division of
Environmental Management. Such notification shall include completion of Biocide Worksheet
Form 101 and a map locating the discharge point and receiving stream.
Concentrations of chromium, copper, or zinc added to biocides shall not exceed applicable water

- -quality standards or action levels in the receiving stream, as determined by calculations from the
biocide worksheet Form 101 with Supplemental Metals Analysis worksheet.
F. Pollutant Analysis Condition
The permittee shall conduct a test for pollutants annually at the effluent from the treatment plant.
The discharge shall be evaluated as follows: 1) A pollutant analysis of the effluent must be
. completed annually using EPA approved methods for the following analytic fractions: (a)
purgeables (i.e., volatile organic compounds); (b) acid extractables; (c)base/neutral extractables;
(d) organochlorine pesticides and PCB's (e) herbicides; and(f) metals and other inorganics. The
Annual Pollutant Analysis Monitoring(APAM)Requirement Reporting Form A and accompanying
memo, to be provided to all discharges affected by this monitoring requirement, describes the
sampling and analysis requirements and lists chemicals to be included in the pollutant analysis.
This monitoring requirement is to be referred to as the "Annual Pollutant Analysis Monitoring
Requirement" (APAM).
(2) Other significant levels of organic chemicals must be identified and approximately quantified.
For the purpose of implementing this requirement, the largest 10 GC/MS peaks in the purgeable
base/neutral extractable, and acid extractable fractions (or fewer than 10, if less than 10
unidentified peaks occur) for chemicals other than those specified on the APA Requirement
Reporting Form A should be identified and approximately quantified as stated in the APAM
Reporting Form A instructions. This part (item 2)of the APAM requirement is to be referred to as
the "10 significant peaks rule").
G. 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 0.50% (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 January, April, July and October. 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:

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.
H. Disposal Alternatives
The Permittee shall continually evaluate all wastewater disposal alternatives and pursue the most
environmentally sound alternative of the reasonably cost effective alternatives. If the facility is in
substantial non-compliance with the terms and conditions of the NPDES permit or governing rules,
regulations, or laws,the permittee shall submit a report in such form and detail as required by the
Division evaluating these alternatives and a plan of action within sixty(60) days of notification by
the Division.

Lowell, North Carolina Plant NPDES Permit

LOWELL WWTP UPGRADE PERMIT APPLICATION
INTRODUCTION
This application requests approval to construct an industrial
wastewater treatment plant at the Lowell , North Carolina
facility of Crompton and Knowles Corporation ( C&K ) .
C&K has operated the Lowell facility since 1978 ; previously it
was owned and operated by Harshaw Chemical Company. The
facility currently has an NPDES permit ( =NC0005274 ) with two
outfalls ; 001 which discharges the treated effluent from
industrial processes and contaminated storm water, and 002
which is a non-contact cooling water discharge. This permit
application deals only with outfall 001 .
The Lowell facility manufactures a wide range of dyestuffs and
dyestuff auxiliary chemicals for the textile , paper, leather,
carpet, and other industries. For specific information
concerning the facility we have included for informational
purposes a copy of the most recent NPDES permit application
sent to the Department on June 2 , 1992 and referenced below.
The existing treatment system consists of equalization and
neutralization and biological oxidation carried out in surface
impoundments followed by coagulation and' clarification in
tankage and, finally, discharge through a foam trap. Solids
from the coagulation step are managed first by decantation in
a holding impoundment and then by filtration in a high
pressure plate and frame filter press . The filtered solids
are disposed offsite in an approved landfill .
The existing NPDES permit allows a monthly average discharge
of up to 300 , 000 gallons per day ( GPD ) . On June 2 , 1992 , C&K
submitted a permit amendment application to the Department •
requesting that the monthly average flow be increased to
400 , 000 GPD. This application is in the final stages of the
review process and preliminary indications from the Department
are that the flow increase will be granted.
C&K plans to increase the capacity of its manufacturing
operations at Lowell over the next six years. To provide
improved treatment to the effluent and to allow for further
expansion at the site a new treatment plant is proposed in
this application. While this plant will operate within the
400 , 000 GPD requested in the June , 1992 , application, it has
been designed to allow upgrades of flow to a maximum of
600 , 000 GPD to allow for additional manufacturing expansion. •
This new treatment plant will also employ biological treatment
and coagulation. However, all of the treatment steps will be
carried out in tankage . As part of the project , the existing
surface impoundments will be closed. The closure plans are
attached for approval as part of this application. These
plans call for a clean closure , with waste and contaminated
soils to be removed offsite.

a-
TREATMENT TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW
While essentially the same unit operations are used in both
the existing and proposed treatment systems , it is important
to point out the differences that will make the proposed
treatment system superior to the existing one.
In the existing system, neutralization and equalization are
carried out in the same impoundment , with two surface aerators
providing the agitation. The new system will carry out
neutralization in a small , well-mixed tank that will assure
constant pH while minimizing the use of neutralization
chemicals which add dissolved solids to the effluent . The
equalization step will be carried out in tankage with vigorous
agitation , again providing a more uniform feed into the
treatment steps.
In the existing system, coagulation with alum follows the
biological oxidation step. Studies performed by Hydroscience
Inc. of St. Helena Island, SC, an industrial wastewater
treatment consultant, indicated that some components in the
wastewater stream may be partially inhibiting the biological
oxidation. Laboratory and onsite pilot plant studies by them
indicated that this inhibiting effect can be substantially
reduced or eliminated by placing the coagulation step prior to
the biological treatment step. Further, Hydroscience
recommended that polymers replace alum as the coagulation
agent. It was found in the study that properly chosen
polymers were more efficient in the removal of color from the
effluent than was alum. Additionally, polymers reduce the
amount of coagulated mass , substantially minimizing the amount
of solid waste generated as part of the treatment process .
Also, the use of alum lowers the pH of the treated wastewater
to below discharge limits , resulting in the need to add
caustic soda, and therefore more dissolved solids , to the
effluent; polymer does not require any post-neutralization.
The superiority of polymers in coagulation treatment of dye
manufacturing waste water has been confirmed at C&K' s Reading ,
Pennsylvania facility, where an identical polymer has been
used in a full-scale application for the past year.

3
In the existing system the coagulation sludge is sent to a
settling surface impoundment from which it is pumped to
conditioning tanks and a filter press. In the proposed
system, the sludge will be handled exclusively in tankage.
First it will be thickened. It will then be pumped to a
holding tank, on to conditioning ( if needed ) , and then press
filtered. The use of the thickener, combined with the
characteristics of the polymer sludge , should lead to higher
press cake solids and lower usage of conditioning chemicals.
The proposed treatment system will use a tank for biological
treatment. This tank will be fitted with a coarse bubble
aeration system. This will allow better oxygenation control
and agitation than is present in the existing system. The
same final clarifier will be used in both the existing and
proposed systems. However, in the proposed system, this
clarifier will only need to remove biological solids , instead
of both biological and coagulation solids as in the existing
system. Because of the reduced solids loading, it is expected
that clarifier efficiency will increase , reducing the average
suspended solids concentration in the effluent. Therefore ,
the existing upflow filter system will be used on an as-needed
basis , only when clarifier effluent polishing is required to
satisfy the permitted discharge level of TSS. The biological
solids in the proposed system will also, make use of the
thickener and sludge storage tank referenced above.
In the proposed system the existing discharge line will be
replaced with one of larger capacity, but this outfall line
will be at the same location as the existing one .

ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Several alternatives were considered as part of the
preliminary investigation associated with this project :
1 . Expansion of the existing system to the ultimate flow
capacity required. This was not chosen because of the
desire of C&K to vacate the onsite impoundments .
2 . Execution of the project in tankage, using the same
treatment scheme in use now. This alternative was not
chosen because of the recommendations of Hydroscience
Inc . and C&K' s desire to eliminate the inhibitory effects
on the biological portion of the treatment process .
3 . Continued use of alum in place of polymer as the
coagulation agent. This alternative was not chosen
because no reductions would be achieved in either the
amount of sludge produced by the process or the amount of
caustic used in final pH adjustment of the effluent.
Both of these steps conform with C&K' s corporate goal of
minimizing waste in all forms and media.
4 . Use of evaporation, ozonation, chemical destruction,
electrolytic destruction, etc. C&K has extensively
investigated the various treatment technologies available
at its various facilities over the last 20 years. Based
on these investigations, and the study by Hydroscience ,
we know of no treatment technology that does not use
biological treatment that would be as effective in the
removal of the constituents of concern as the system
proposed, and that would be cost effective to allow the
continued operation of the facility.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED TREATMENT WORKS
NARRATIVE OF PROPOSED SYSTEM
The new wastewater treatment plant installation is based on a stage-wise
implementation of the Hydroscience conceptual design.
A wastewater lift station (TK-102) will be installed at the southwest corner of
the existing Primary (equalization-sedimentation) Lagoon, as shown on the
enclosed general arrangement drawing (E-3050-L) . Wastewater from all the process
buildings will flow into this lift station, as will stormwater from 5+ acres of
paved surface. Three lift station pumps will transfer the collected water to the
two equalization tanks (TK-103A and TK-103B). One or more of the pumps will keep
a comfortable level in the lift station. During heavy rainfall, all three pumps
will be running, but overflow will be directed, via a 24" gravity line, to the
sludge holding lagoon until TK-103B is in operation.
The equalization tanks are provided with floating mixers to equalize and
stabilize pH, BOD, COD, and TSS. Pumps transfer the wastewater forward to the
neutralization tank (TK-104) . In TK-104, sulfuric acid from existing bulk
storage facilities or caustic soda from tote bins, controlled by pH analyzers,
will affect neutralization of the wastewater.
The neutralized wastewater is then pumped to the primary clarifier-flocculator
(TK-105). Primary and secondary flocculating polymers are metered in to reduce
COD and color loading. The created suspended solids, along with those already
existing in the incoming liquor, settle out and are pumped to the thickener (TK-
106). The thickened solids are removed in the existing sludge filter press and
hauled off site for disposal. Some sludge storage is also provided by TK-130,
in the event the filter press cannot be used. The clear liquids from the
thickener and the press both flow the thickener effluent tank (TK-123) from which
they are pumped back to the system via the lift station (TK-102) .
The clear liquid from the clarifier-flocculator's overflow weir is pumped to the
aeration tank (TK-111). Coarse-bubble diffusers both mix the tank contents and •
provide oxygen to the bio-mass. Oxygen is supplied by as many as four 625 CFM
air blowers whose 15 psig discharge pressure forces the air through the piping,
diffusers and the head of liquid in the tank. Due to the variability of flow,
COD, and BOD experienced by the plant, to achieve optimum operating conditions
the DO level can be controlled by varying the air supply and/or the tank level,
but detention time is always a minimum of 24 hours and at least one blower is
always running. Fresh bio-mass, diammonium phosphate (DAP) , and/or other
nutrients are pumped in as needed from a small DAP/biosludge makeup tank (TK-
119) .

I
Effluent from the aeration tank flows by gravity, via a splitter box (TK-120) ,
to the existing secondary clarifier (TK-108) wherein polymer addition causes the
biosludge to settle. Settled biosludge is recycled to the aeration tank, with
a portion wasted, to control "sludge age". The wasted sludge is pumped to the
thickener (TK-106) for further concentration. Clear effluent from the secondary
clarifier overflows to a below-grade concrete pit, from which it either flows by
gravity to the river through the existing foam trap (TK-135) and the existing
discharge line or, in the unlikely event that the TSS level exceeds the permitted
discharge limit, it is pumped to the river via the existing upflow filters, the
existing foam trap (TK-135) and the existing discharge line. There will be no
intrusion on the 100-year flood plain by this proposed treatment works.
INSTALLATION TIMING
Because of the extensive amount of time required to purchase and install the
proposed equipment, the project will be executed in four phases.
During Phase I, the lift station (TK-102) , one equalization tank (TK-103A) , the
neutralization tank (TK-104) , their associated pumps and electrical equipment
will be installed. Aeration will take place in the current aeration lagoon and
only one clarifier, existing TK-108, will be employed. The sludge generated from
TK-108 will be transferred to the present sludge holding lagoon, filtered, and
shipped off site for disposal. In addition, the sludge thickener (TK-106) and
sludge holding tank (TK-130) will be erected.
During Phase II , a "clean closure" of the Primary Lagoon will be completed. This
closure, detailed in the accompanying book, will' provide the area for the
installation of the remaining wastewater treatment equipment.
During Phase III , the second equalization tank (TK-103B) , the primary clarifier-
flocculator (TK-105) , and the aeration tank (TK-111) along with the aeration
blower package, associated pumps and standlegs, the polymer tanks and pumps, and
the DAP/biosludge system will be installed on the clean fill in the former
primary lagoon.
After the start-up of the Phase III equipment, the aeration and sludge holding
lagoons will also be closed via clean closures, also presented in the
accompanying book.

INSTRUCTIONS
•
The purpose of this document and the NC DENNR memo of October 30, 1990 (Tedder)/mailing of December 1990 is to standard-
ize the sampling, analysis and reporting procedures to be used for the Annual Pollutant Analysis Monitoring (APAM) Require-
ment as described in the permit.
Semolina
1 - Take a 24-hour composite sample from the final effluent during mid-week (Wednseday 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.
2 - Indicate in the space provided on Page 1 of 13 this page whether a corresponding sample for toxicity testing was taken.
3 - Make note of any unusual wastewater treatment operating conditions occurring on the day of sampling in the space pro-
vided on Page 1 of 13.
?nalvsis
4 - Analyze the effluent for pollutants listed on the APAM form, including those to be identified and approximately quan-
tified under the 10 significant peaks rule, using appropriate EPA-approved methods foroach of the analytic fractions.
Other analytical methods can be substituted only with prior, written approval of the Director of the Division of Enviroraerr
tal Management (DEN). Read and distribute to the laboratory performing the analysis the accompanying memo (Tedder, October
1990) clarifying analytical requirements.
5 - 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 GC/MS 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.
"eaortinq
- Ouantitation Limit Targets that should be met are listed on this Revised APAN Reporting Form A. Report the use-of any
higher quantition 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 to within a quantifiable concentration. List any quantitation
limit different (whether higher or lower) from the target in the column provided for the purpose.
7 - If a chemical is found to be below the quantitation limit, report the concentration detected as less than (or '<') 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 quantitation limits must be quantified. Cuantitation limit and
detection limit are defined in the NC DEHNR 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 micro-
grams per liter (ug/L) and metals as total recoverable metal. If no peaks to be identified under the 10 significant peaks
rule are observed, enter "vane" in the space provided for "other" compounds in each appropriate analytic fraction section.
Provide the concentration estimate and retention time for "unknowns" as well as for "significant peaks" for which a struc-
tural assignment can be made.
8 - If "significant peeks" are found, provide probable Molecular weight, library match probability, retention time, ident-
ification basis, and MS scan number each. In addition, list internal standards and their retention times.
9 - In the section labeled "Organic Analytical Information", (Page 11 of 13) include for each organic fraction the method,
extraction technique, GC operating conditions, and surrogate recovery. Report the size of the GC/MS 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 two completed copies of the form (and the laboratory report, if submitted to the facility on a different form)
to: ATTN: Central Files, Division of Environmental Management, NC DEHNR, P.O. Box 27687, Raleigh, NC 27611. Mail the APAM
form separately from Discharge Monitoring Reports.

Subject: Permit Modification
Permit No. NC0005274
Crompton and Knowles Corporation
Gaston County
Dear Mr. Buchanan:
On July 30, 1991, the Division of Environmental Management issued NPDES Permit No.
NC0005274 to Crompton and Knowles Corporation. A review of the permit file has indicated that
an error was inadvertently made in the permit.The Permit you received had an incorrect pounds per
day limit for PAH's (polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons). The correct limit should be 0.012 pounds
per day rather than 0.0019 pounds per day. The concentration limit of 4.8 µg/l remains the same.
Accordingly, we are forwarding herewith modifications to the subject permit to correct the error.
Please find enclosed an effluent sheet for outfall 001 only which should be inserted into your
permit. The old pages for outfall 001 only should be discarded. 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.
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 permit. 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, NC 27611-7447. Unless such a

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 .sv % (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 flum the effective date of this permit during the months of
• 'ran) apt. dal_ ocr . . 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.
NO1.: 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.

Dear Mr. Buchanan:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC0005274 was
issued on July 30, 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 are Pages 4-8.
Pages 4-8 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 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.

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

facilities. The permittee shall notify the Division's Operator Training and Certification Unit
within thirty days of any change in the ORC status.

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;

•
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. 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

far+
Part III Permit No. NC0005274 '.
D. The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity in any two consecutive toxicity
tests, 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 0.38% (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
issuance of this permit during the months of January, April, July and October. 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
P.O. Box 27687
Raleigh, N.C. 27611
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 reopened 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.
E. The permittee shall not use any biocides except those approved in conjunction with the permit
application. The permittee shall notify the Director in writing not later than ninety (90) days prior
to instituting use of any additional biocide used in cooling systems which may be toxic to aquatic
life other than those previously reported to the Division of Environmental Management. Such
notification shall include completion of Biocide Worksheet Form 101 and a map locating the
discharge point and receiving stream.
F. The permittee shall conduct a test for pollutants annually at the effluent from the treatment
plant. The discharge shall be evaluated as follows: 1) A pollutant analysis of the effluent must be

completed annually using EPA approved methods for the following ytic fractions: (a)
purgeables (i.e., volatile organic compounds); (b) acid extractables; (c) base/neutral extractables;
(d) organochlorine pesticides and PCB's (e) herbicides; and (f) metals and other inorganics. The
Annual Pollutant Analysis Monitoring (APAM) Requirement Reporting Form A and
accompanying memo, to be provided to all discharges affected by this monitoring requirement,
describes the sampling and analysis requirements and lists chemicals to be included in the
pollutant analysis. This monitoring requirement is to be referred to as the "Annual Pollutant
Analysis Monitoring Requirement" (APAM).
•
2) Other significant levels of organic chemicals must be identified and approximately quantified.
For the purpose of implementing this requirement, the largest 10 GC/MS peaks in the purgeable,
base/neutral extractable, and acid extractable fractions (or fewer than 10, if less than 10
unidentified peaks occur) for chemicals other than those specified on the APA Requirement
Reporting Form A should be identified and approximately quantified as stated in the APAM
Reporting Form A instructions. This part(item 2)of the APAM requirement is to be referred to as
the "10 significant peaks rule".

PART IV
ANNUAL ADMINISTERING AND COMPLIANCE MONITORING FEE REQUIREMENTS
A. The permittee must pay the annual administering and compliance monitoring fee within 30

D. The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity in any two consecutive toxicity
tests,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 0.38% (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
issuance of this permit during the months of January, April, July and October. 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 pm-Alit 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:

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 reopened 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.
E. The permittee shall not use any biocides except those approved in conjunction with the permit
application. The permittee shall notify the Director in writing not later than ninety (90) days prior
to instituting use of any additional biocide used in cooling systems which may be toxic to aquatic
life other than those previously reported to the Division of Environmental Management. Such
notification shall include completion of Biocide Worksheet Form 101 and a map locating the
discharge point and receiving stream.
F. The permittee shall conduct a test for pollutants annually at the effluent from the treatment
plant. The discharge shall be evaluated as follows: 1) A pollutant analysis of the effluent must be

•completed annually using EPA approved methods for the following analytic fractions: (a)
purgeables (i.e., volatile organic compounds); (b) acid extractables; (c) base/neutral extractables;
(d) organochlorine pesticides and PCB's (e) herbicides; and (f) metals and other inorganics. The
Annual Pollutant Analysis Monitoring (APAM) Requirement Reporting Form A and
accompanying memo, to be provided to all discharges affected by this monitoring requirement,
describes the sampling and analysis requirements and lists chemicals to be included in the
pollutant analysis. This monitoring requirement is to be referred to as the "Annual Pollutant
Analysis Monitoring Requirement" (APAM).
2) Other significant levels of organic chemicals must be identified and approximately quantified.
For the purpose of implementing this requirement, the largest 10 GC/MS peaks in the purgeable,
base/neutral extractable, and acid extractable fractions (or fewer than 10, if less than 10
unidentified peaks occur) for chemicals other than those specified on the APA Requirement
Reporting Form A should be identified and approximately quantified as stated in the APAM
Reporting Form A instructions.This part(item 2)of the APAM requirement is to be referred to as
the "10 significant peaks rule".

Public notice of intent to issue a State NPDES permit to the following:
1. NPDES No. NC0005274. Crompton & Knowles Corporation, PO Box 848, Lowell, NC 28098
has applied for a permit renewal for a facility located at a site on NCSR 2201, north of Lowell, Gaston
County. The facility discharges 0.300 MGD of treated process wastewater from one outfall and
non-contact cooling water from one outfall into South Fork Catawba River, a Class WS-III stream in the
Catawba River Basin which has a 7Q10 flow of 123.00 cfs. Total phenols and total polynuclear aromatic
hydrocarbons are water quality limited. For some parameters, the available load capacity of the immediate
receiving waters will be utilized, and more stringent water quality based effluent limitations may be
established for dischargers downstream.
2. NPDES No. NC0022934. Sonoco Products Company, PO Box 717, Lincolnton, NC 28092 has
applied for a permit renewal for a facility located at Sonoco Products Company on NCSR 1680, northwest
of High Shoals, Gaston County. The facility discharges 0.0053 MGD of treated domestic and industrial
wastewater from one outfall into South Fork Catawba River, a Class WS-III stream in the Catawba River
Basin which has a 7Q10 flow of 104 cfs. For some parameters, some of the available load capacity of the
immediate receiving waters will be utilized, and more stringent water quality based effluent limitations ma:.
established for dischargers downstream.

CHRONIC TOXICITY TESTING REQUIREMENT(QR1'RLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity in any two consecutive toxicity tests,
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 •3.17% (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
issuance of this permit during the months of : • BAN AIL"-• ocr . 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
P.O. Box 27687
Raleigh, N.C. 27611
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.

NORTH CAROLINA BEFORE THE NORTH CAROLINA
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
COMMISSION
COUNTY OF GASTON
IN THE MATTER OF VIOLATION
OF THE TERMS OF NPDES PERMIT ) SPECIAL ORDER
NO. NC0005274 ISSUED TO ) BY CONSENT
CROMPTON AND KNOWLES CORPORATION ) EMC WQ No. 90 -
LOWELL, NORTH CAROLINA )
This SPECIAL ORDER BY CONSENT ( "The Order" ) is made and
entered into pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-215. 2, by and
between Crompton and Knowles Corporation, hereinafter referred to
as "Permittee" , and the Environmental Management Commission, an
agency of the State of North Carolina, hereinafter known as the
"Commission" .
BACKGROUND
I . Permittee ' s Lowell Plant was operated prior to August
1988, substantially in compliance with the terms of NPDES Permit
No. NC0005274. During the period August 1988 to February 1989,
Permittee undertook a program to replace alum with polymer as a
flocculating agent as a means of reducing the volume of
wastewater treatment sludge generated by the plant. The effort
resulted in a number of excursions from permit effluent
limitations. Due in part to that noncompliance experience,
Permittee retained a consultant to study and recommend
improvements to its current wastewater system. The consultant
conducted a bench study and prepared a report providing its
recommendations for further studies which will lead to
- 1 -

improvements to the wastewater treatment plant. In order to
study, design, construct and start-up a new treatment facility,
there will necessarily be a period in which permit effluent
limitations may be regularly exceeded. However, the completed
improvements will substantially improve the performance and
reliability of Permittee's wastewater treatment system.
FINDINGS OF FACT
II. The Commission finds, and Permittee does not contest,
the following facts:
A. Permittee is a corporation duly authorized to do
business in North Carolina, and is a "person" as that term is
213()4>,
defined at N.C. Gen. Stat. 143-212.
B. Permittee operates a facility for the manufacture
of dyestuffs in Lowell, Gaston County, North Carolina.
C. Permittee was issued NPDES Permit No. NC0005274 on
May 29, 1987, with an expiration date of June 30, 1990, for the
discharge of wastewater to the South Fork of the Catawba River, a
/
class WS- water of the State.
C(--
D. Permittee has made timely application for renewal
of NPDES Permit No. NC0005274.
- 2 -

E. Said NPDES Permit contains the following effluent
limitations pertinent to this Consent Order :
Daily Avg. Daily Max.
5-day Biochemical
Oxygen Demand (BOD5) 80.1 lbs. 160. 2 lbs.
Total Suspended
Solids (TSS) 130 lbs 260 lbs.
Total Phenols 0.66 lbs 1.32 lbs
F. On August 3, 1989, Permittee was assessed civil
p , v; s
penalties by the Director of the ant of Environmental
Management for violations of NPDES Permit effluent limitations
for BOD5 and TSS in the amount of $48,000.00. Permittee remitted
to the Department of Environmental Management ( "DEM" ) the full
amount of penalty and investigation costs, a total of
$48,364.83 .
G. Permittee wishes to enter into this Special Order
by Consent in order to comply with North Carolina laws and
regulations and due to its commitment to environmental protection
and cooperation with the DEM.
ORDER
III . Permittee, desiring to comply with the legal
requirements of the Commission and with all pertinent provisions
of NPDES Permit No. NC0005274 and the laws and applicable rules
of the Commission, but without admitting any liability therefore,
does hereby agree to do and perform the following activities:

A. Within 90 days of the execution of this Consent
Order, complete construction of a pilot scale wastewater
treatment facility for the determination of the best applicable
technology to meet the permit requirements, based on the
preliminary findings contained in the consultant ' s study referred
to in paragraph I . � m .0/'96)
B. Within 18 months of the completion of construction of
the pilot plant, prepare and submit a plan for the improved
wastewater treatment facility based upon the pilot study.
C. During the time period of completion of
construction of the pilot plant and submittal of the plan, submit
quarterly progress reports to the Regional Engineer for Water
Quality at the Mooresville Regional Office of the Department of
Environmental Management.
D. Within 90 days from approval by the Department of
Environmental Management of the plan, issue a purchase order (s)
for the acquisition of the necessary goods, equipment and
services required to institute the improvements to the wastewater
treatment facility.
E. Within 12 months of the issuance of purchase order (s) ,
complete all elements of the plan to improve the wastewater
treatment facility.

FORCE MAJEURE
IV. All deadlines contained in this Special Order by Consent are
based on predicted times and on items that are to some extent
beyond the control of Permittee and the DEM. For this reason,
for good cause shown, the DEM shall extend any deadline stated
herein. Good cause shall include any delays attributable to
severe weather, backorders or other impediments to timely
delivery of key components for which supplies are limited (or
untimely deliveries of key components for reasons not
attributable to Permittee) , changes in the scope and nature of
the work necessitated by DEM directive or result of any studies
undertaken pursuant to this Special Order by Consent, receipt of
analytical results, force majeure, or other causes beyond the
control of Permittee. Request for extensions of deadlines should
be made in writing as soon as feasible, and DEM shall approve the
extension and set a new deadline if good cause is shown.
Requests for extension will include the reasons for the delay,
efforts made by Permittee to avoid or minimize the delay, an
estimated date for completion of the tasks for which the schedule
extension is sought, and an estimate of whether the overall
completion date under the Special Order by Consent will be
affected. Force Majeure includes, but is not limited to, acts of
God, acts of the state or federal government, their agencies or
officials, natural disasters, fire, quarantine or import
restrictions, freight embargoes, riots or other civil
insurrections. Where the schedule is dependent upon review or
approval by DEM, whether explicit or implicit, such review or
- 5 -

approval is delayed beyond the time contemplated by the schedule,
the time for completion of the remaining tasks will be
appropriately extended to incorporate that additional time.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
V. In the event the DEM disapproves, in whole or in part,
Permittee' s request for extension, or design or plan submitted to
the DEM as provided herein, the DEM shall advise Permittee in
writing as to the specific nature of the insufficiency or
inadequacy of the request or submittal. DEM shall establish a
reasonable period for correction of the alleged insufficiency or
inadequacy. Permittee shall either revise the submittal to
rectify the alleged insufficiency or inadequacy or submit a plan
for the collection of data, or such other information as is
deemed necessary to addresses the alleged insufficiency or
inadequacy within such reasonable period, or shall object to the
disapproval in fifteen days of receipt of the written
notification from the DEM regarding such insufficiency or
inadequacy. If Permittee so objects, it must submit within
fifteen days thereafter a statement of its understanding of the
nature of the dispute, /the technical basis for the dispu et , its
position regarding such dispute, the technical basis for the
dispute, and a technical and legal explanation why its position
is correct. The DEM shall evaluate the Permittee ' s position and,
within fifteen days of receipt of the request, advise Permittee
in writing that it accepts or rejects it position. If the DEM
rejects Permittee 's position, the notice of such rejection shall
contain a statement of the DEM' s understanding of the basis of

Permittee' s position. If, after Permittee and the DEM exchange
statements regarding their respective understanding of the
dispute, Permittee and the DEM can not reach a mutually
satisfactory resolution of the dispute, either party may file a
request for a contested case hearing before the Office of
Administrative Hearings. The objection by Permittee or the
rejection by the DEM of Permittee' s statement of its
understanding of the matter in the dispute shall constitute a
"contested case, " as defined by the North Carolina Administrative
Procedure Act, which may serve as the basis for either party to
request a contested case hearing before the Office of
Administrative Hearings. Delays for undertaking or completing
tasks associated with the matter in dispute shall be stayed
during the course of any administrative proceeding, including the

ACUTE TOXICITY TESTING REQUIREMENT(QRTRLY)
Daphnid 48 hr - LC50
The permittee shall conduct acute toxicity tests on a quarterly basis using protocols defined as
definitive in E.P.A. Document 600/4-85/013 entitled "The Acute Toxicity of Effluents to
Freshwater and Marine Organisms". The monitoring shall be performed as a Daphnia pulex or
Ceriodaphnia 48 hour static test, using effluent collected as a 24 hour composite. The LC50 of this
effluent using the previously stated methodology may at no time in any two consecutive toxicity
tests be less than 37 %. Effluent samples for self-monitoring purposes must be obtained during
representative effluent discharge below all waste treatment. The first test will be performed after
thirty days from issuance of this permit during the months of 47 itLfV Ar/w4t/ .
The parameter code for this test if using Daphnia pulex is TAA3D. The parameter code for this test
if using Ceriodaphnia is TAA3B. 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 appropriate parameter code. Additionally,DEM Form AT-1
(original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
P.O. Box 27687
Raleigh, N.C. 27611
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 either these monitoring requirements 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.

Engineer II
4. Person Contacted and Telephone Number: Mr. Luther Buchanan,
Plant Manager; Mr. Robert Lamb, Operator; telephone number
(704) 824-9526
5. Directions to Site: From the intersection of S. R. 2201 and
Highway 7 in the Town of Lowell, travel north on S. R. 2201
approximately 1.7 miles. The Crompton and Knowles facility
is located on the right (east) side of S. R. 2201.

and discharge point on map.
USGS Quad No. : F 14 SE
7. Size ( land available for expansion and upgrading) : There
appears to be adequate area available for the construction
of a new wastewater treatment facility (proposed) ; however,
the proposed wastewater treatment plant units may be spread
out over the site due to the need to abandon and possibly
remediate the existing site.
8. Topography (relationship to flood plain included) : With the
exception of a foam trap, none of the existing wastewater
treatment units appear to be in a flood plain.
9. Location of Nearest Dwelling: No dwellings exist within 500
feet of the site.
10. Receiving Stream or Affected Surface Waters: South Fork
Catawba River

a. Classification: WS-III
b. River Basin and Subbasin No. : 03-08-36
c. Describe receiving stream features and pertinent
downstream uses : Downstream users are primarily
agricultural and for secondary recreation. Other
discharges exist within 2-1/2 miles downstream (NC
0056839 ) . The JPS Automotive Plant (NC 0006033 ) has a
process water intake on this receiving stream although
it is approximately four ( 4) miles below the discharge.
PART II - DESCRIPTION OF DISCHARGE AND TREATMENT WORKS
1. Type of Wastewater: 001 002
0 0 % Domestic
100 100 % Industrial
a. Volume of Wastewater: 001: 0 . 300 MGD; 002: 0 . 150 MGD
b. Types and quantities of industrial wastewater:
Approximately 0 . 300 MGD of industrial wastewater is
generated from the production of cyclic and
intermediate dyes (Outfall 001) . Up to 0. 150 MGD of
cooling water is generated from the cooling jackets of
the on-site sand mills (Outfall 002) .
c. Prevalent toxic constituents in wastewater: A recent
toxicity test performed at this facility (November 13 &
14, 1989) reflected a 100% mortality at 90% effluent
concentration on the test population of fat head
minnows. The current Permit does not include effluent
monitoring for toxicity as the current requirement is
by letter only. It is recommended that toxicity be
included in the new Permit as a limited parameter.
d. Pretreatment Program (POTWs only) : N/A
2. Production Rates ( industrial discharges only) in Pounds: A
list of all products produced by Crompton and Knowles and
their annual production rate can be found in the application
for renewal.
3. Description of Industrial Process (for industries only) and
Applicable CFR Part and Subpart: Crompton nd Knowles
manufactures dyestuffs, dyestuff intermediates, and dyestuff
auxiliaries. They are classified under 40 CFR 414 and 416
Subpart H (Specialty Organic Chemicals) .
4. Type of Treatment ( specify whether proposed or existing) :
Wastewater pH is occasionally adjusted in plant prior to
discharge into actual wastewater treatment facilities.
Wastewater flows into an earthen settling basin/flow
equalization basin which contains a single mechanical
aerator (aerator is for the purpose of mixing) . From the
settling/equalization basin wastewater is pumped to an
aerated earthen lagoon containing four ( 4) mechanical
aerators.

Page Three
Ammonia nitrogen and phosphorous are added to the aerated
lagoon to enhance biological activity. From the aerated
lagoon, wastewater flows to a gravity clarifier where
polymers and/or alum are added to enhance settling. Settled
sludge may be wasted to a sludge holding lagoon
(non-aerated) or returned to the aerated lagoon.
Supernatant from the sludge holding lagoon is returned to
the aerated basin. From the clarifier, wastewater is pumped
to dual upflow sand filters. Effluent from the sand filters
is discharged to the South Fork Catawba River. (Note:
There is a foam dissipation chamber on the outfall prior to
discharge) . A portion of the effluent is retained in a
filter backwash holding tank. Periodically the accumulated
sludge is backwashed from the sand filters into a holding
tank. Supernatant from the holding tanks is returned
(pumped) to the aerated lagoon. Settled sludge is wasted to
the sludge holding lagoon. Flow is measured by a continuous
recorder and sampling is by compositor. There is a standby
generator which serves the aerators in case of a power
outage.
5. Sludge Handling and Disposal Scheme: Sludge is periodically
taken to a Gaston County Landfill for disposal and is
authorized by a DHS Permit.
6. Treatment Plant Classification: Class III

PART III - OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION
1. Is this facility being constructed with Construction Grants
Funds (municipals only) ? No
2. Special monitoring requests: See Part IV below
3. Additional effluent limits requests: See Part II , No. 1(c)
4. Other: N/A
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The files of the Mooresville Regional Office are well
documented with regards to Crompton and Knowles' inability to
consistently maintain compliance with their final effluent
limitations. As recently as August, 1989 civil penalties were
assessed for NPDES Permit violations dating back to August, 1988.
Although payment was eventually rendered, compliance problems
continue (both with NPDES parameters and toxicity) .
In light of the above, a consulting firm retained by
Crompton and Knowles has recommended the construction of a new
wastewater treatment facility which will ultimately eliminate

Page Four
(with some minor exceptions) the existing wastewater treatment
plant. The proposed facilities will also give Crompton and
Knowles ' operator greater flexibility in day-to-day plant
operation and process control. Crompton and Knowles is also
preparing to deal with its toxicity problems which appear to be
related to effluent salinity. Bench tests are currently underway
on new equipment which would ultimately reduce effluent salinity.
Crompton and Knowles anticipates the submittal of a request for a
Special Order by Consent which will incorporate a construction
schedule and interim limitations.
The existing wastewater treatment facilities appeared to be
in good operational condition at the time of the site inspection.
Effluent quality appeared excellent with little or no foaming
observed on the receiving waters. The sludge holding lagoon was
approaching capacity and will require sludge removal in the near
future.
As noted during this and other inspections at this facility,
three ( 3 ) unlined earthen basins are being utilized for either
wastewater treatment or sludge storage. Although no direct
evidence exist, the potential for groundwater contamination at
this site should be investigated. This Office recommends that
the existence of these earthen wastewater treatment basins be
brought to the attention of the Groundwater Section for their
action.
Pending receipt and approval of the Waste Load Allocation,
it is recommended that the NPDES Permit for this facility be
renewed.

Verification of Applicability of OCPSF Guideline Parts
The Lowell Plant of Crompton & Knowles Corporation manufactures dyestuffs,
dyestuff intermediates, and dyestuff auxiliaries. These products indicate that
the plant is classified by a single SIC code, 2865.
Using this SIC code, then Subpart H, Specialty Organic Chemicals, applies
to the plant. Consequently then, Subpart I, Direct Discharge Point Sources
That Use End-of-Pipe Biological Treatment, also applies as specified in Subpart
H.
No other subparts apply to the Lowell Plant.

Compliance Schedule
Based on prior information and knowledge of our current plant processes,
Crompton and Knowles Corp. believes that it will not be able to meet the
OCPSF discharge limit for the compound Phenol. A more complete effluent
characterization will have to be completed before any definite conclusions
can be drawn concerning compliance with all OCPSF parameters. However,
Crompton and Knowles requests the compliance schedule below to meet all
OCPSF limits.

Subject: NPDES Permit No. NC 0005274
Crompton & Knowles
Gaston County, NC
Dear Mr. Buchanan:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC 0005274 was
issued on May 29, 1987 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 I3.
Page I3 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 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 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 day per violation plus
criminal penalties may be assessed for such violations.
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 M-1 or I-i
of the Permit. Also note that NPDES Permits are not
transferable. If you, as the Permittee, cease to need this
Permit, through cessation of the discharge, 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,
D. Rex Gleason

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:

3. Definitions
a. Act or "the Act" : The Federal Water Pollution Control
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.

4. Test Procedures
Test procedures for the analysis of pollutants shall conform
to the EMC regulations published pursuant to N.C.G.S.
143-215.63 et seq, the Water and Air Quality Reporting Act,
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 .
5. Recording Results
For each measurement or sample taken pursuant to the
requirements of this permit, the permittee shall record the
following information:
a. The exact place, date, and time of sampling;
b. The dates the analyses were performed; and
c. The person(s) who performed the analyses.
6. Additional Monitoring by Permittee
If the permittee monitors any pollutant at the location(s)
designated herein more frequently than required by this
permit, using approved analytical methods as specified
above, the results of such monitoring shall be included in
the calculation and reporting of the values is required in
the DMR. Such increased frequency shall also be indicated.
The DEM may require more frequent monitoring or the
monitoring of other pollutants not required in this permit
by written notification.
7. Records Retention
All records and information resulting from the monitoring
activities required by this Permit including all records of
analyses performed and calibration and maintenance of
instrumentation and recordings from continuous monitoring
instrumentation shall be retained for a minimum of three (3)
years. This period of retention shall be extended during the
course of any unresolved litigation or if requested by the
Division of Environmental Management or the Regional
Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.

PART II GENERAL CONDITIONS
A. MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS
1. Change in Discharge
All discharges authorized herein shall be consistent with
the terms and conditions of this permit. The discharge of
any pollutant identified in this permit more frequently than
or at a level in excess of that authorized shall constitute
a violation of the permit. Any anticipated facility
expansions, production increases, or process modifications
which will result in new, different, or increased discharges
of pollutants must be reported by submission of a new NPDES
application or, if such changes will not violate the
effluent limitations specified in this permit, by notice to
the DEM of such changes. Following such notice, the permit
may be modified to specify and limit any pollutants not
previously limited.
2. Noncompliance Notification
The permittee shall report by telephone to either the
central office or appropriate regional office of the
division as soon as possible but in no case more than 24
hours or on the next working day following the occurrence or
first knowledge of the occurrence of any of the following:
a. Any occurrence at the water pollution control
facility which results in the discharge of significant
amounts of wastes which are abnormal in quantity or
characteristic, such as the dumping of the contents of a
sludge digester, the known passage of a slug of
hazardous substance through the facility or any other
unusual circumstances.
b. Any process unit failure, due to known or unknown
reasons, that render the facility incapable of adequate
wastewater treatment, such as mechanical or electrical
failures of pumps, aerators, compressors, etc.
c. Any failure of a pumping station, sewer line, or
treatment facility resulting in a by-pass directly to
receiving waters without treatment of all or any portion
of the influent to such station or facility.
d. Any time that self-monitoring information indicates
that the facility has gone out of compliance with its
NPDES permit limitations.
I 8

Persons reporting such occurrences by telephone shall also
file a written report in letter form within 15 days
following first knowledge of the occurrence.
3. Facilities Operation
The permittee shall at all times maintain in good working
order and operate as efficiently as possible all treatment
or control facilities or systems installed or used by the
permittee to :achieve compliance with the terms and
conditions of this permit.
4. Adverse Impact
The permittee shall take all reasonable steps to minimize
any adverse impact to navigable waters resulting from
noncompliance with any effluent limitations specified in
this permit, including such accelerated or additional
monitoring as necessary to determine the nature and impact
of the noncomplying discharge.
5. Bypassing
Any diversion from or bypass of facilities is prohibited,
except (i) where unavoidable to prevent loss of life or
severe property damage, or (ii) where excessive storm
drainage or runoff would damage any facilities necessary for
compliance with the effluent limitations and prohibitions of
this permit. All permittees who have such sewer bypasses or

MEMORANDUM TO: John Campbell
FROM: Rex Gleason VG
PREPARED BY: Thurman Horne
SUBJECT: Crompton and Knowles Corporation
NPDES Permit No. NC 0005274
Gaston County
Attached is a wastewater treatment plant classification rating sheet for the
subject facility. This facility has previously been listed as a Class II facility
but, as a result of modifications and additions to the facility in the last several
years, the facility should be upgraded to a Class III facility.
Attached is a detailed description of the existing treatment facilities as
observed during an inspection conducted by Thurman Horne on January 9, 1985.
If you have any questions or need any additional information, please advise.

Inspection Date: January 9, 1985
Inspector: J. Thurman Horne, P. E. OlfrzL
Descriptio Existing Facilities
Wastewater is generated by the production of cyclic and intermediate dyes.
Wastewater pH is occasionally adjusted in plant prior to discharge into actual
wastewater treatment facilities. Wastewater flows into an earthen settling basin/
flow equalization basin which contains a single mechanical aerator (aerator is for
the purpose of mixing to achieve uniform flow distribution) . From the settling/
equalization basin wastewater is pumped to an aerated earthen lagoon containing
four (4) mechanical aerators. Ammonia nitrogen and phosphorous are added to the
aerated lagoon to enhance biological activity. From the aerated lagoon, wastewater
flows to a gravity clarifier where polymers and/or alum is added to enhance settling.
Settled sludge may be wasted to a sludge holding lagoon (non-aerated) or returned
to the aerated lagoon. Supernatant from the sludge holding lagoon is returned to
the aeration basin. From the clarifier, wastewater is pumped to dual upflow sand
filters. Effluent from the sand filters is discharged to the South Fork Catawba
River. (Note: There is a foam dissipation chamber on the outfall prior to
discharge) . A portion of the effluent is retained in a filter backwash holding
tank. Periodically the accumulated sludge is backwashed from the sand filters
into a holding tank. Supernatant from the holding tanks is returned (pumped) to
the aerated lagoon. Settled sludge is wasted to the sludge holding lagoon. Due
to the low volume of sludge generated and the large size of the sludge holding
lagoon there has been no need to date to dispose of sludge from the lagoon. .
Flow is measured by a continuous recorder and sampling is by compositor. There is
a standby generator which serves the aerators in case of a power outage.

Gaston County
2. Date: September 23, 198
3. By: J. Thurman Horn
4. Person Contacted: er E. Buchanan, Manager; avid Thorn
5. Directions to Site: Approximately two miles north of Lowell on S. R.
2201 .
6. The Bearing $n d Distance to the Existang Point of Effluent Discharge Is :
Longitude 81 06' 20" and Latitude 35 17'00"
7. Size: Adequate area is available for the construction of the proposed
facilities.
8. Topography: Rolling hills ; 2-15% slopes
9. Location of Nearest Dwelling: There are no dwellings within 500 feet of
the treatment facilities.
10. Receiving Stream: South Fork Catawba River
(a) Classification: A-II
(b) Minimum 7-Day, 10-Year Discharge at Site: 123 cfs
(c) Usage: Suitable as a source of water supply for drinking, culinary
or food-processing purposes after approved treatment equal to
coagulation, sedimentation, filtration, disinfection , etc. and any
other usage requiring waters of a lower quality.
PART II - DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING AND PROPOSED TREATMENT WORKS
The existing industrial wastewater treatment facility is a .30 MGD facility
consisting of an equalization-sedimentation pond, an aerated lagoon with
mechanical aerators, dual chemical reaction tanks, dual sand filters,
sludge settling basin, pH adjustment and flow measuring and recording
equipment.
Crompton and Knowles proposes to install a new clarifier (45' - 111/4" weir
Diameter, 11 ' SWD) and a foam trap.
PART III - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Crompton and Knowles has been having difficulties maintaining compliance with
effluent limitations (NPDES No. NC 0005274) for phenols , BOD5, and TSS
although the most recent Compliance Evaluation Analysis indicates that the
Company is now back in compliance.

-2-
The proposed additional facilities should help to alleviate some of the
problems encountered in the past and should result in an improved effluent.
It should be noted that the foam trap is proposed to be located on the banks
of the South Fork Catawba River (approximately 50' from normal water level )
in what appears to be the 100 year flood plane. Considering that the foam
trap is only a box with a baffle inside it and that it will be placed in
line on the existing outfall , this Office does not feel that the location
should present any problems.
The proposed site for the clarifier is well uphill from the river and flood
plain and should be suitable.
It is recommended that Crompton and Knowles be issued Authorization to
Construct the proposed facilities .
Note: The Department of Human Resources should be aware that there are no
dual facilities (except for dual sand filters) , no effluent disinfection
or alternate source of electrical power. However, it is not felt that any
such additional are needed considering the nature of this facility. In
the event of a power failure wastewater could not be pumped to the sand
filters and thus could not be discharged.
