Reid, Environmental Water Quality Section Town of Spindale NPDES Permit Number N00020664 Rutherford County July 12, 1988 Arthur Mouberry, Supervisor Permits and Engineering Unit Forrest R. Westall Regional Water Quality Supervisor Chemist Ap The Regional Office is in receipt of a copy of a memorandum to you from Trevor Clements concerning toxicity and impacts to the receiving stream below the Town of Spindale's discharge (copy attached). The Town of Spindale is moving to upgrade its treatment system under an Authorization to Construct issued March 2, 1988. The increased level of treatment resulting from the upgrade is expected to improve conditions in the receiving stream and reduce adverse impacts from the Town's discharge. The Town has begun chronic toxicity testing; to date the results have been one "pass" and two "fails", but one of the "fails" was likely due to excessive chlorination. The Town recently took toxicity tests (results not yet available) before and after chlorination to determine if chlorine appears to be the major factor in its effluent toxicity. To help insure that the Town understands it toxicity requirements and to make the Town aware that the Regional Staff intends to enforce the toxicity requirements in the Town's permit, correspondence concerning the subject has been sent (copy attached). Progress has been made and is being made to improve the operation of Town of Spindale's Wastewater Treatment Plant, to upgrade its treat - Interchange Building, 59 Woodfin Place, P.O.

For these reasons, the Regional Staff recommend issuance of the Town of Spindale's NPDES Permit. If there are questions please contact me. Enclosure xc: Dale Overcash Trevor Clements Mike Parker Keith Overstreet DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT July 1, 1988 M 0 1. 1 TO: Arthur Mouberry THROUGH: Steve FROM: Trevor Clements SUBJECT: Expansion Wasteload Town of Spindale NPDES No. NC0020664 Rutherford County The attached final wasteload allocation for the Town of Spindale contains effluent limitation recommendations for the proposed expansion from 4.0 MGD to 6.0 MGD. However, we recommend NOT permitting the flow expansion until a thorough toxicity reduction evaluation (TRE) has been completed and a schedule for compliance is developed. Surveys by DEM of the receiving waters, Holland Creek, below the existing discharge have shown that the facility is severely degrading water quality. The stream goes from a bioclassification of good/fair above the outfall to very poor below the outfall. senthological studies have linked the degradation to instream toxicity. Therefore, until progress is made to address this situation, Technical Support recommends that permit issuance be delayed. Please contact Randy Dodd or myself if you have any further questions regarding this matter.

Tedder THROUGH: Ken Eagleson Jimmie Overto� FROM: David Penrose SUBJECT.1 Spindale WWTP (NPDES No. NC0020664) The Town of Spindale is permitted to discharge 4.0 MGD of treated waste- water to Hollands Creek in the Broad River basin. This volume accounts for an instream waste concentration of 66.66% under 7Q10 conditions. Much of the waste is industrial (2.78 MGD is textile and 0.01 MGD is metal finishing waste, however -the town is currently in the process of implementing a pre- treatment program. In April 1987, the facility failed a 7 day Ceriodaphnia chronic pass/fail testa Also, LC50 values of P35 and P20 have been recorded during 48 hour acute tests in March 1985 and July 1985 respectively. A b,enthic macroinvertebrate survey was conducted in March 1988 to vali- date aquatic toxicity tests. Stations were chosen above and below the facil- ity on Hollands Creek (Figure 1, Table 1). An additional site was selected on Katheys�Branch below the confluence with Hollands Creek to serve as a recovery site. The water was very dark below the facility at Hollands Creek 1 and at the Kathey's Branch location. Total taxa richness values for Hollands Creek indicates that the Spindale WWTP is having a negative effect on the benthic fauna. ,Good/Fair (62/27) conditions were noted at the upstream site and Poor (29/3) conditions were noted below the facility. Instream toxicity is evi- dent, as the most dominant taxa below the facility is the toxicity tolerant chironomid Conchapelopia) sp. Limited recovery was noted at Katheys Branch.

The Town has recently requested non -discharge permits for facilities which are to be connected after implementation of a JOC which is in process. One of the pending projects is for the Department of Correction and is a project which DOC is under court order to complete. Due to the time critical nature of the DOC project, the regional staff requests that Technical Services complete, as quickly as possible, a lnstream assessment to determine what additional flows the Town of Spindale will be able to add under its pending JOC. This memorandum supersedes one dated May 18, 1988, concerning the Town of Spindale. If there are questions, please contact me. JRR:ls Enclosure Interchange Building, 59 Woodfin Place, P.O.

Is this an accurate flow balance for plant? Why/why not? No, current flow is approximately 3.0 MGD. The current 3.0 MGD flow differs from the volume in item 5 above due to fluctuations in discharges from the Town's industrial users. Textile processors are the Town's major industrial users; fluctuations in textile production are believed to account for the difference between the 3.193 MGD calculated flow and current actual flows of approximately 3.0 MGD. Please attach DMR summary for past year for all permitted parame- ters. If possible, include reports from previous years if facility has been under SOC for more than a year. i TLTT a ant', . A.

Procuring a site with city water and sewer connections is very important though the volume of effluent is small. The feasibility of using an eleven acre site known as the T.F. Davis Parcel Tract, Book 460, Page 616 on Park Street in Spindale is currently being studied. The plant will be built in three phases. Phase I will be 40,000 square feet and employ 40 - 60 people. The projected start-up date is December 1, 1988. Phases II and III will be built in 1991 and 1994 and be of equal size to Phase I. The utilities required will be water, sewer, natural gas, and electricity. Phase I will require water as follows: 750 gallons/day - Lavatories 500 gallons/day - Wash water for processes 1,000 gallons/day - Process water to dilute finishes Standby pressure for sprinkler system Stater requirements for Phases II and III will be similar. � Phase I will require, sewer connections for the following: `al) I1 Oc- (C 1 S 750 gallons/day - Lavatories 500 gallons/day - Wash water for processes The wash water for processes will contain dilute concentrations of normal textile finishing chemicals. These include: Anticipated Concentration Finishing Chemical 5-7 % Acrylic latex compounds - (similar to latex paint) .5 °% Styrene - Butadiere latex compounds .25 % Flourochemical compounds - (Scotchgaard) .25 % Melamine resins - (Permanent press resins) 25 % eax emulsions .10 % Anionic and Nonionic Surfactants - (Soaps) Sewer requirements for Phases II and III will be similar. Your considerations for water and sewer connections for the proposed plant are greatly appreciated. Please let me know if further details are required. I can be contacted at 245-9263.
