Dear Mr. Sanderson:
The Division has reviewed the letter describing the future activities at the Clariant Corporation's Mount
The Division suggests a modification to the existing NPDES permit rather than applying for a new NPDES
permit. Based on the information provided, the Division could not determine if a major or or modification is
appropriate. As long as the activity will not result in an increase in flow or a change in the wastewater characteristics,
a or permit modification is appropriate.
For a or permit modification, a letter detailing the proposed activities and the requested changes to the
permit should be submitted to the NPDES Unit at the address listed below.
The Authorization to Construct required for the modifications to the treatment system requires that detailed
plans and specifications (stamped by a PE registered in North Carolina), along with design calculations be submitted
in triplicate. In addition, 3 copies of the following are required: a letter describing the project, flow schematic and
construction sequence. The information listed above should be submitted to the NPDFS Unit at the address fisted
below.
If you have any questions concerning, please contact Michael Myers at telephone number [phone],

Dear Mr. Goodrich:
Clariant Corporation hereby submits written comments on the draft permit received with your
letter dated September 25, 1996. The draft permit was received on October 1, 1996. Clariant
requests that these comments become a part of the record for the permit.
Clariant wishes to acknowledge the considerable effort put forth by the Division to review the
permit application and develop the draft permit. We especially appreciate the visit to the Mt.
Holly site and the opportunity to explain our operations to you. Nevertheless, Clariant has grave
concerns over several items in the draft permit which pose significant threats to continued
operations at the Mt. Holly site. Specific comments on these and other items in the draft permit
e contained in the attached pages.
e propose a meeting, at the earliest possible date, with you, Mr. Nizich and others you deem
necessary, to discuss the draft permit and our comments. I will call you or Mr. Nizich in early
November to schedule a dater
Clariant appreciates the opportunity to comment and looks forward to working cooperatively
with you during this renewal process. If I can be of assistance or if additional information is
needed for your review, please do not hesitate to contact me at [phone].

PERMIT CONDITION: PART I, SECTIC)N �(l
A. Contested Permit Condition: '
BOD, discharge limits of 366.2 lbs/day [monthly average] and 988.8 lbs/day [daily
maximum] (effective 12/1/97).
B. Comments:
1.The proposed BOD5 effluent limits of'366.2 lbs/day [monthly average] and'988.8 [daily
maximum] beginning on 12/01/97 constitutes almost a 5 % reduction from the current
limits. The facility's 196 DMRs show that the facility cannot achieve these more
stringent BOD, limits within the short time period specified in the permit without
substantial modification to the existing treatment system. Clariant estimates it would take
a minimum of 12 months from the effective date of the permit just to evaluate .how to
comply with the :more stringent BOD, limits. The actual design, approval and
construction of a new treatment system would take longer.
2. Discharges of BOD at current levels have not caused water quality problems. During the
period of the current permit (191-196), Cdlariant (formerly Sandoz) has upgraded its
TP at considerable costs to improve treatment performance. No water quality
violations have occurred as a result of l is wastewater discharge at current permitted
BOD, levels. The Division's "Catawba River Basin Wide Water Quality Management
Plan," July, 1995, indicates on Pages'4-45 that water quality standards have been met
consistently in the Catawba River mainstream n of Lake Wylie from 1990 through
1995.
. The BOD, limit of 366.2 lbs/day proposed by the Division is based on `an average OCPSF
flow of 0.78 MGD which the Division calculated based on a long-term average VPvVTP
effluent flow of 1.42 MGD from 1991-1995 and an assumed percent (i.e., 54.6%) of flow
from OCPSF processing. 'Clariant's production, and subsequently the OCPSF flow, were
artificially low during 1992 through 1995 due to depressed economic conditions and. sales:
The Mt. Holly facility is a batch manufacturing plant serving the textile industry, and the
facility's production varies with the needs of the textile industry. For example, in 1991
due to a good textile market, the WWTP effluent flow was 1.66 MGD. if this permit is
based upon the low flow of 1.42 MGD, Clariant will have no flexibility during the term
of this permit to manufacture products at the higher capacity observed: during the term o
the current permit (i.e., 1991). EPA Guidelines (.58 Federal Register 36890) allow use
of annual average flow, calculated over one year (i.., 1991), to determine OCPSF process
wastewater flows.

I PERNUT CONDITION: PART 1, SECTION B(
A. Contested Permit Condition:
"The permittee shall comply with Final Effluent Limitations specified for discharges in
accordance with the following schedule:
Permittee shall comply with the Final Effluent Limitations by the effective date of the
permit unless specified below."
B. Comments:
1. If the Division persists in drastically reducing the facility's BOO, limits, Clariant's current
wastewater treatment system cannot meet the proposed discharge limits by 12/01/97.
Therefore, Mari requests that any final permit containing BOO, limits below the
currently permitted limit contain a realistic compliance schedule. December 1, 1997, is
not realistic. The proposed BOD5effluent limits of 366.2 lbs/day [monthly average] and
988.8 [daily maximum] beginning on 12/01/97 constitutes almost a 58% reduction from
addressed in a specific compliance schedule.
2. As currently drafted, the effluent limitation for BOD, and TSS becomes effective on
12/01/97 instead of the effective date of the permit. As stated previously, Clariant objects
to both the numerical BOD5 limits and the effective date. However, since the effective
date specified in the permit for TSS is other than the effective date of the permit itself,
this permit condition should be clarified to recognize the separate effective date.
C. Requested Action:
1. Amend this provision to read as follows:

PERMIT CONDITION: PART III, SECTION
A. Contested Permit Condition:
Staging requirement.
B. Comments:
Clariant fully supports the inclusion of the staging requirements in this permit. However,
the formulas contained in this condition are not consistent with the BOD, and NH3 effluent limits
set in Part 1, Section (A)(1). VVhile Clariant continues to object to the lower BOD, limits in
Part 1, Section (A)(1), the permit conditions for staging still need to be consistent with the final
BOD5 limits.
C. Requested Action:
. The staging requirement limits in Part 111, Section F, should be consistent with the limits
for BOD, and NH3 set elsewhere in the permit.

the process wastewater` alone was actually 280 mg/1 before dilution. This
conservatively assumes that the cooling water flow is free of BOD, and TSS.

mated (and therefore process wastewater) or uncontaminate with conventional
pollutants. The Agency reviewed this list after receiving public comments on
both NOAs criticizing some of its assignments and determined that, in general
-its assignments were correct.
Since the limitations apply to process wastewater (which includes
"contaminated nonprocess" wastewater) only, the relative contributions of
process wastewater versus "uncontaminated nonprocess" wastewater.were deter-,
mi . ned at the influent and effluent sample sites. These data were used to
calculate plant -by -plant "dilution factors" for use in adjusting pollutant
concentrations at influent and effluent sampling locations as appropriate.
The general procedure for determining sample -site dilution factors and
adjusting HODS and TSS values was as follows:
Sum uncontaminated nonprocess wastewater flows for an individual plan
(e.g., Plant No. 61 uncontaminated nonprocess wastewater flow
0.280 MGD)
9 Sum process wastewater flow for an individual plant (e.g., Plant No.
61 process wastewater flow - 0.02 MGD)
# Divide the sum of uncontaminated nonprocess wastewater flows by the
total process wastewater flow to determine dilution factor (e.g., for
Plant No. 61, 0.280 MGD/ 0.02 MGD - 14.0)
Apply the sample -site dilution factor (plus 1) by multiplying by the
reported BOD_ or TSS value to be adjusted (e.g., for Plant No. 61,
196 mg/l effiuent BOD, x (14.0 + 1) 2,940 mg/l effluent BOO..

Dear Mr. Sanderson -
The following is a list of significant changes to the existing permit:
• BOD5 and TSS limits (outfall 001) - These have been reduced based on application of the
7pmp
rnits wilfbein �"i6 time.
mp iance capability. The previous permit
Em=
developed if Clariant would prefer that compliance were evaluated for COD on the total
wastestream.
• Total phosphorus (TP) and total nitrogen (TN) - Part 111, Condition H requires evaluati(
of the ability to meet TP and TN limits of I mg/I and 6 mg/I (sunimer) respectively.
• The definition of "daily" has been removed from the effluent sheets since this term is
defined in 15A NCAC 2B .0503(5).
• Iron monitoring - This requirement has been dropped.
• Mercury monitoring - This requirement has been reduced to quarterly. If this parameter
not detected during the next periiiii cycle it will be dropped from the permit.
• Manaanese monitorine, - Based on the levels detected, monitoring is still required, how(
4-1 Z:�
the frequency has been reduced to quarterly.

• MBAS - Monitoring for this parameter has been reduced to quarterly based on levels
detected.
• Five specific phenols - Monitoring for these parameters has been dropped.
• Chronic toxicity language - The policy prohibiting any test from indicating toxic effects has
been in place since 1993 for all facilities monitoring toxicity. ; An NOVis not necessarily
sent to the permittee as a result of a single test failure.
• Nutrients - It has been determined by the Division through intensive water quality studies
that discharges upstream of Lake Wylie, including this discharge, need to control nutrients
through the application of the best available technology (BAT) that is economically
achievable. The perniittee shall provide the Division with a study which fully investigates
the feasability of meeting an average TP limit of 1.0 mg/l and a summertime TN limit of
m/l.
If you have any questions regarding these changes please call Mr. Greg Ni ich at 919-733-50 3,

Charlotte, North Carolina,
Dear Mr. Nizich.
We appreciate the plant visit you and your associates made to our site. Both Mr. Coleman and I
wish to thank you for taking the time to tour our plant and discuss issues with us on June 13t .
Below is the data requested on our RCRA groundwater pumping system at the wastewater
treatment plant.

o. 2 112'ppm 39 ppm
No. 3 99 ppm 30 pptn
o. 4 110 ppm 36 ppm
After studying the information you supplied regarding proposed limits, I have a few comments
and requests that I hope you will consider as you work up limits for the plant°s new permit. For
clarity, I have catagorized there as they appear on the water flow schematic.
I. Steam Generation'
The site does not have a condensate return system. Approximately 70% of the water used
to generate steam, 0.0686 MGD, ends up being consumed in the production processes.
Some as wash water, some as hot water for vessel make up, and some as clean-up water
for production' areas. This portion of the steam generation water really ends up in the
wastewater treatment plant as all OCPSF source.

111 Stormwater
0.087 MGD of the 0225 MGD of stormwater flow results from runoff of rainfall on
OCPSF portions of the facility. While the other 0.138 MGD of stormwater runoff may
not have have fallen on production area locations, it is a contributor of BOD and. TSS to
our wastewater treatment plant. Contribution to effluent may not be as great as OCPSF
sources, but it is not zero.
IV. Ponding and Re -treatment Operations
e usually have to store portions of our treated water from December until April,
because'BOD removal is impaired by low biological activity. We re -treat and release the
stared water during the warmer months. This is normally done during June - September.
Average effluent flow rates during these months can range from 1.5 - 2.6 MGD, 6 - 85%
higher than the annual daily average. We need some latitude to allow this situation t
continue.
We look forward to working with you during the permitting period. If you need any ffirther
information, please let me know.
Sincerely.

5. M ss/I7,ty Mettsuremen ,s
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

weights of the pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing, this:
number of days the tests were reported. The limitation is identified as

b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily r
'sampled and/or measured during; the calendar week (Sunday - Saturday) on
discharges are sampled and tr easured, divided by the number of daily a
sampled and/or measured during; such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic n-
by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then di
sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is id
"Weekly Average" in Pat I of the pen -nit.
c. 'The '"maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (wei
during; a calendar clay. If only one sample is taken durir
of pollutant calculated from it is the "maximum daily i
identified as "Daily Maximum," in Part I of the permit.

Part 11
Page 2 of 14
d. The "average annual discharge" is defined ais 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
fl-
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 coliforin 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 geon-letric
mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar week. This limitation is
identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other Units" in Pan I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during
zn
a calendar day. If only one satriple 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 [Jnits" in Part I of the pen -nit.
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 geornetric 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 1.

Fait 11
Page 3of14
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.
}ther Measurements
a. Flaw, (MGD). The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flaw,
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 sarnple and flow will be representative of the total discharge.
. 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. Flaw shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when
there may be no flaw or for infrequent maintenance activities oil the flow device.
. 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 o
discharge and combined proportional to the rate of now measured at the time of
individual sample collection, or
() 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
flaw 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 tine 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 i
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 (o)
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.
. 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 valves.

Part 11
Page 4 of 14
b. Geometric Mean, The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth rot 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 ofthe 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 Flog 'Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each
concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective
flown.
10. to lender Day
calendar day is defused as the period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next
days However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-Maur 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 tlae Clear) Water
Act.

Dear Mr. Straley:
Reference is made to your letter of February 25, 1991 containing comments on the draft permit
for NPDES permit application NC0004375. The Division of Environmental Management (ITEM)
has reviewed the comments in this letter. The items are addressed in the following:
(1) The word "north" refers to the plant location and is not a road direction. Also, the
Department of Transportation considers odd -numbered roads as north -south roads.
(2) The words "air stripper" have been added to the process description. The word "continue"
has been deleted with reference to the herbicide wastewater.
(3) The word "daily" has been defined on the effluent pages as every day except Saturday,
Sunday, and legal holidays. 1
(4) Upstream and downstream monitoring for phenols has been dropped.
(5) The total phenols limit will be left as 1.8 lb/day monthly average, 3.6 lb/day daily max.
The Division's Planning Branch is presently evaluating the State phenol standard and has
requested that monitoring for 4-chloro-3-methylphenol, 2-methylphenol,
4,6-dimethylphenol, pentachlorophenol, and 2,4,5-trichlorophenol using EPA method 604
be added to the pertnit. Monitoring should be done on a quarterly basis.
(6) Limits for 2-chlorophenol, 2,4-dichlorophenol, 2-nitrophenol, 4-nitrophenol,
2,4-dinitrophenol, 4,6-dinitro-o-cresol, and phenol have been corrected to account for
limits negotiated to include water from groundwater remediation.
(7) The daily maximum for chloroform has been corrected to 0.81 lb/day.

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 them may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or
significant mortality is 1.8% (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document).
e 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 March, June, September, and December. Effluent sampling for this
testing shall be performed at the N DES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment
processes.

NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum
control organism sival 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 conduct a test for pollutants annually at the effluent from the treatment
plant. The discharge shall be evaluated as follows: i) A pollutant analysis of the effluent most be
completed annually using IPA approved methods for the following analytic fractions: (a)
purgeables; (i.e., volatile organic compounds); (b) acid extractables; (c) base/neutral e tractables;

Part III Permit No. NCO004375
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 1.8% (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 March, June, September, and December, 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:

P.C. 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 of 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.

purgeable, base/neutral extractable, and acid extractable fraction (err fewer than 10, if less than 10
unidentified peaks occur) for chemicals rather than those specified on the A A 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 "1'0 significant peaks rule".
F. Staging Requirements (Applicable April 1- October 31)
The operating day runs from 7:00 am to 7:00 am. Each day, the permittee will calculate a running
daily average stream flaw as determined by turbine operation at Mt. Island Dam, leakage at the clam
(80 cfs), and. the 7QIO flow of Dutchman's Creek (15cfs). Effluent release is to be controlled
such that projected release of B D and ammonia, using the most recent analytical values for these
parameters, will not exceed the value given in the following formulas:
(1) When the daily river flaw is calculated to be < or = 175 cfs: B D5 + 0.54( -N) <= 566.4
lb/day
(2) When daily average river flow is calculated to be > 175 cfs but c or = 250 cfs: BOD5 +
O? 54(NH3-N) <= 1044 lb/day

In June 1989 we commissioned a study by Enwright Laboratories to perform chronic toxicil
studies on six process wastesty eanis which we suspected of exhibiting chronic toxicity. These
wastestreams had partly been identified through wastewater characterization studies performed
previously. Two waste strearns did indeed show a potential effect. Verifying whether these are

environmental engineering consultants will work with Sandoz professionals to form a Toxicity

than among the controls.
The effluent caused no significant acute toxicity.
CHRONIC TOXICITY
Data analysis is dependent upon whether the data is normally distributed
and the control and effluent treatments have equal variances.
The data is normally distributed. (Chi Square Test)
X2= 9.37 (P=0.01)
The treatments have= equal variances. (F Test)
F= 4.99 (P=0.01)
Because the data meets the assumptions of a parametric test,
the t Test is used.
T Value: 4.06
Critical Value: 2.508
Because the calculated 't' value exceeds the critical value,
the reduction in reproduction in the effluent treatment
is significant, indicating chronic toxicity. (P=0.01)

1N'rERPRE'rA'r1ON OF RESULI'S
This toxicity test was conducted to determine if the effluent at
the given concentration (the in -stream waste concentration - IWC) causes
death (acute toxicity) or reduction in the reproduction of the test
organisms (chronic toxicity) during a seven day period. Acute toxicity
is checked by statistically analyzing whether significantly more
organisms died in the effluent treatment than in the control treatment.
chronic toxicity is checked by statistically analyzing whether
sigilificantly '* few,4-,r young were produced by test organisms exposed to
the effluet i't Creatment. If either analysis indicates a significant
difference, the Lest is considered a failure. Results are summarized
as follows:
Acute Toxicity: No significant acute toxicity by Fisher's Exact Test.
Chronic Toxicity: No significant. chronic toxicity by t Test.
Final Result: Pass
NOTE: On the test initiation day a small ethanol spill caused
_kun of fumes from the drain into the incubator room.

FROM: Ruth Swanek
SUBJECT: Sandoz Draft Permit Changes
NPDES No. NCO004375
Catawba River (030834)
Mecklenburg County
On February 9, 1990 representatives of Sandoz met with DEM to
discuss the draft permit for the facility. The permit was modified
to include a flow limit of 3.9 mgd year round. This new flow was
then used to develop a BPS' limit for ammonia assuming a concentra-
tion of 20 mg/l. The resulting monthly average limit was 651 lb/d.
A factor of 1.5 was used to develop the daily maximum limit of
977 lb/d.
Since the new BODS and NH3 limits were more stringent than in

that the stream flow was equivalent to the minimum daily release.
Since the flow of the Catawba River is usually much higher, the
phenols in the effluent should not cause taste and odor problems
when only the mass limit is assigned`. Therefore, the concentration
limit was dropped. The sulfate limit was dropped for the same rea-
son since the company had initially expressed concern;, about this
limit.
The company also revealed that it would prefer to meet the
specific phenolic compounds limits given in the Federal Register
although compliance with some of the effluent` guidelines would'
result in noncompliance with the total phenols limit. However,
this action makes the company noncompliant with only one parameter
rather than two, and this request was granted.
Sandoz provided us with information (attached) which indicates
that the North Carolina standard for polynuclear aromatic hydrocar-
bons (P s) is based on individual concentrations rather than total
concentrations. The information was reviewed by a TENT chemist and
it was determined that the company was correct. Therefore;, the
statement that total PAHts could not exceed 0.50 lbld (15.5 ug l)
was deleted from the permit.'
Finally, the company reported that fifteen substances have
been remanded from the C CPS ' list. ERA, has told us that only one
substance has been. remanded. This issue is currently being
resolved.

IT, Priority Pollutants
The permittee shall conduct a test for priority pollutants annually after
combination Of all waste streams in the main discharge pipe. The discharge sbaY
be evaluated for all volatile fractions, acid fractions, base/neutral fractions,
and pesticide fractions listed in Table 11 of Appendix D. of 40 CFR Part 122 and
all metals, cyanide, and phenols listed in Table TIT of Appendix D. of 40 CFR Pal
122. The permittee shall test the effluent for any pollutants listed in Tables I
and V of Appendix D. of 40 CFR Part 122, if ' -a specific pollutant is believed to I
present in the discharge. In addition to the above testing requirements, other
significant levels of synthetic organic chemicKs must be identified. For the
purpose of implementing this requirement, the largest 10 percent of the GC/MS
peaks other than the priority pollutants shall be identified. All tests shall be
performed in accordance with the EPA Reference Methods listed in 40 CPR part 13&
No process wastewater from log debarking processes shall be discharged from this
facility. No processes shall be discharged from this facility. No process
wastewater from the wasbdown of veneer dryers shall be discharged from this
facility. No wastewater containing plywood glues, wasbwnter containing glue
wastes, washwater from machine clean-up operations, or other process wastewater
from Plywood manufacturing processes shall be discharged from this facility.
The phosphorus limitation contained in this Permit may require the construction
of additional facilities for phosphorus removal at the wastewater treatment
plant. The Division of Environmental Management will reevaluate the rating of th,
wastewater treatment plant at the time an Authorizntion to Construct is
requested. If the facility is determined to be a class ITT or TV plant, the
monitoring will be adjusted accordingly, resulting in d&JY monitoring for most
Parameters listed in the permit.

Introduction
ZORIALIDs a- selective herbicide based on a joydazincne of low
toxicity, which was discovered and developed in the Laboratories
of SANDOZ Ltd., in Basle (Switzerland),
t is available
- as a wettable powder containing 0% (weight by weight) of the
active ingredient n rfZura on
- as granules containing % (weight by weight) of norflura. on
or will be available as a wettable dispersible concentratecontaining
The information contained in this document is based on our
worldwide experience up to date.
EFFECTIVENESS
ZORIALOis a relatively long-lasting soil pre -emergence herbicide
with little ;cost -emergence activity. Primarily ZORIAL' is an annual'
grass killer but shows also good control of annual broadleaf weeds.
At higher rates, good activity against Cyperus species has been
shown, and activity against some Carex and Juncus species has also
been evident. In favourable cases, some perennial grasses are
controlled too.

x AGRO DOK E- 3 -3
CROP TOLERANCE AND POTENTIAL FIELD APPLICATION
According to our present knowledge, practical crop tolerance has
been found so far with cotton and perennial crops such, as cran-
berries, established alfalfa,; citrus, some deciduous fruit trees,
nut gees, bananas and sugar cane.
The suppression of noxious weeds, or their destruction (mainly
grasses), it the present problem in many cotton and fruit tree
growing countries. These are the places where ncr.�. Zu.tazon can be
successfully included in the rotation of normally used herbicides,
either on`its own, or in mixture with other suitable products.'
DRIAL® is not a common broad-spectrum acting product to be used
to solve general weed problems, but is a speciality designed to
solve specific weed problems which have _ in many places - been
created by interference through new crop husbandry methods.

A. IN SOIL
The dissipation of noA4twtazon from soils depends largely on the
type of soil, soil moisture, temperature, solar radiation, air
movement, and Mode of application.
By checking dissipation rates at different locations within the USA
and Switzerland, and under good agricultural practice conditions,
the influence of relatively different conditions was tested.
Results indicate enhanced dissipation occuring;in lighter soils at
higher moisture levels, with surface application. Soil carry-over
may be expected to be longer in cooler or drier areas.
Leaching, at depths ranging from 0 10.cm to 10 -'20 can, occurred to
a very small extent.
B. IN CROPS
1. Cotton
Non-dlintd cotton seeds from Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana,
Mississipi and Tennessee trials have been analysed for ntta.zo
and its desmethyl metabolite at harvest,'1 4 to 218 days after,
application.
The minimum detection levels were 0.03 ppm for norf'Z crazon and
0.02 ppm for desmethyl nor Zura
No residues were detected above these limits.
0
2s Cranberries
No residues of not Zu:azvn or its desmethyl metabolite were
detected in cranberries, grown in various soils in Massaehussets,
Washington and Wisconsin, and harvested between 136 and 161 days';
after the ',application of the product.,

. Fruits
Apricots, peaches, grapefruits,lemons-and oranges from various
places in USA have been analyzed for no&6Zu,,Lazcn and its desmethyl
metabolite. No residues have been detected at harvest.
4. Nuts
No residues have been detected in almonds and nuts at harvest.
5. Secondary crops
Soybeans and peanuts were grown in soil: which has been treated
j with ZOIRIAL in the preceding year. At the time of harvest, no
or only very small' residues of no&6Zuxa. on and its desmethyl
metabolite 0.1 ppm) could be detected in the foliage.
C) ;Milk and poultry
Cows were fed feed containing 0, 0. 5, 1.5 and 5.0 ppm no&6 utazon
' daily for 4 weeks. The highest residue of notiZutazon in whole milk
was 0.05 ppm. The residues in the milk solids did not exceed 0.04 ppm.
esm'ethyl-nox6tu azon residues were simi 1 ar to those of not4tutcdzon.
The total residues in fat and kidney did not exceed 0.05 ppm, those'
{ in muscle and liver 0.03 ppm.
Hens were fed diet with the same doses for 4 weeks'. The residues of
not6 unazon and its desmethyl metabolite was always below 0.01 ppm.

Metabolism
1 In plants
Metabolism studies in cotton plants (tolerant crop) and corn
(sensitive crop) have shown that no. Zu�Lazon is absorbed fast
from the soil or nutrient` solution.
Translocation into the foliage is slow in cotton, but fast in
corn. Furthermore,' cotton seedlings appear to metabolize
F
not6ta .a.zon moreslowly than corn.
N-demethylation is the major degradation pathway leading to
significant quantities of desmethyl-not4tuxLa.zon Additional
small quantities are recovered as water soluble, probably con-
jugated, metabolites and as bound material.

. In soil
Degradation of rotruxzon in various soil types leads almost
quantitatively to the formation of d smethyl-not 6Zuta.zon. Only
very small amounts of polar material is found; soil bound
residues are present in quantities of less than 10%.

Rat. No btu anon'given as a single dose of 50 mg/kg, is absorbed
at'a minimum extent of Q. The blood and tissue 'levels
reach peak concentration after 2 hours, and then rapidly
decrease. Excretion is almost complete within 96 hours,
8` and 20% being excreted in the faeces and the urine,
respectively.
Three major pathway seem to be operative in the detoxifi-
cation of no, Zunazon:
d methylation yields desmethyl- ox4Zu.a on,
hydroxylation processes involving the replacement of
chlorine in the heterocyclic ring leads to 4-hydr°oxy
non .2u4azon and its conjugates, and
elimination of'chlorine and conjugation through a

medium. In herbicide -free water, the fish eliminated
91 9`5` of the absorbed compound within 10 days.
The metabolism of the absorbed no btu. Lazo t leads to desmethyl

DISSIPATION
Photo -degradation
In a model experiment, sunlight exposure of not6 u�La.zon in
aqueous solution caused rapid decomposition. Within 140 hours
of exposure, approximately 90% of nox6Zutazon was -decomposed.

Besides various polymerization product,, dezc . o u-no 6Zu . zon
and desmethyZ-not4Zutazon were identified.

Volatilization
Laboratory studies have indicated that notituxazon volatilizes
from the soil; in a typical experiment, l of the applied'
no)tjZuAazon had ,volatilized from the treated soil in seven weeks.
Leaching
The leaching behaviour of
not6tuxazon was investigated in soil
column tests in comparison with other herbicides;the results
indicated that there was only slight movement in the sail.

Results of field experiments have confirmed the findings of
model experiments. Thus, there will be no ride because of
groundwater contamination.
Adsorption
The amounts of nox4 u:tazon adsorbed by various types of soil
are relatively small; they range from 0.003 to 0.16 mlcromoles
per 9 of soil, at a concentration of 25 micromoles per litre
of water.
Conclusion
PUnder field .conditions, the dissipation of noA6IZu,ta on from the soil
seems to be brought about mainly by volatilization and photochemical
degradation.

Biological Action
Biological i
ZRIALO (as well as all formulations containing no.tu�La.on as
active ingredient) is a pre -emergence surface -applied herbicide,
activated by moisture.
It has little post -emergence activity.
The action on weeds is selective,and it controls a number of
mon,ocoyledonous- as well as dicotyledonous -weeds.
The active ingredient is taken up by the roots, and is immediately
distributed within the emerging plant, where ZORIAL causes a loss
of chlorophyll in the susceptible plants, which become whiten This
chlorophyll removal is an indirect result of an interruption of
carat n id synthesis. The carotene pigments act as protector against
photooxydation of the chlorophyll. Susceptible weeds, germinating
and growing, in ZRIAL- heated soils, will therefore change, sometimes
with some intermediate red discoloration, to a white colour. This
sympton and the subsequent necrosis of the young plants, are the
result of a successful application of ZOR'I L.'
Notitu,%a on has rather a long residual action in the soil, which
may vary according to soil conditions, such as composition,
structure and moisture, and also according to sun radiation and to
temperature.
Depending on the crops to be treated, the rates of application are
variable. In perennial crops such as cranberries, fruit trees, nut
trees, citrus, etc..., the rates of application can be increased
to a curtain level, without endangering the crop itself, and where
the efficacy is also good on some perennial noxious weeds such as
` ru spp., C n don spp., Carex spp., Juncus spp., etc.a. In
favourable cases, some of these weeds have even been destroyed.

This facility is primarily a manufacturer of sulfur dyes, disperse dyed, and
miscellaneous organic chemicals. This application covers hazardous waste
storage containers and tanks, and hazardous waste surface impoundments. The
contingency plan covers the satire facility. Hazardous 'wastes that are stored
on -site are generated as distillation residues of o-dichlorooen ede, toluene
and methanol, off -specification products, clean-up wastes, and production
waste's. These;ea to are stored at two sites in drums and at a third site in
tank. Surface impoundments in S dyeco:`a wastewater treatment facility are
used to store, treat, and disperse of wastewater and associated sludges that
l

are classified as hazardous wastes. Acid wastewater, prior to neutralization
exhibits the characteristic of corrosivity. Otherwise, the wastewater and
sludge is classified as hazardous because it contains trace quantities of
solvents and sulfide, and could include a small quantity of several listed
wastes. Correspondence and inquiries concerning hazardous waste management
activities at 5ocyeco should be sent to:

WASTE: CHARACTERISTICS
This section describes the chemical and; physical nature of the hazardous wastes
at the Scdyeco facility and the Waste Analysis Plan for sampling, testing, and
evaluating the wastes to ensure that sufficient information; is available for
their safe handling. The information submitted is in accordance with the
requirements of 40 'CFR S 270.1 (b)(1)(2) and (3).

List of hazardous waste stored at facility.
Hazardous wastes are stored at this facility in 55-gallon drum containers,
a 100,0C-gallop. concretetank, and a , 00 gallon tang. Current inventory
(718l83) consists o.
58 containers (55-gallon drums)
One 1 0 CCC gallon concrete basin (empty)
One 5, 0--gal.l n tank <1 2 full) (This tank is being closed
under interim Status and is included here for information
only.)
The containers (55- allon drums) can be broadly classified into solid wastes
and liquid wastes. The wastes are generally compatible with each ether.
Occasionally, an ignitable liquid waste may be included in the storage area.
Typical contents of each group; are Listed'below.

The solid still bottoms resulted from the recovery of .toluene and of
o-d.chloroben ene» The liquid still residues (FO03) result from the recovery
of Methanol and are treated as hazardous although repeated tests have given
a flash point above 60*C.
Are ignitable aqueous waste and a F005 still bottom were previously stored in
the 100,000 -gallon concrete basin, but that material has recently been removed
to an EPA approved landfill upon completion'oE the production campaign yield-
ing those wastes.
There are no hazardous waste storage piles at Sodyeco
Table. °1 lists the hazardous wastes presently or routinely stored at the
Sodyeco facility, ;their associated hazard classification and the basis for
the hazard classification. In most cases the classification is based on
known characteristics of the wastes, such as i nitability, reactivity,
corrosi ity, or EP toxicity ;analyses. For listed wastes, the classification
is based can the listing.

All hazardous wastes are labeled at the time they are put into a drum. The
label describes the contents of each drum, tank, of container and its asso—
ciated hazard, i.e.,, corrosivlty or i nitability< This practice informs
workers handling these wastes of the associated hazards so that appropriate
precautions can be taken. Details regarding the tanks, containers, storage
areas, and personnel training are presented in ether sectionsof this

f . New Des of Waste generated:
Due to the operation of our chemical manufacturing facility, we will
continue to generate new types of waste materials. We will continue to
evaluate each new waste streams to determine if the waste is a hazardous
materiel. The analysis of these wastes will be made by standard
approved methods after which a determination will be made for their
proper disposal.
3. Chemical and p sisal Anal sea -Surface im o ndme its
Sodyeco has a segregated sewer system for its hazardous wastewater streams.
An acid sewer collects the acidic wastewater (corrosive by virtue of its low
p and discharges it into storage impoundments ZOO and Z 8. An alkaline
sewer collects non -acidic wastes including some sulfide bearing wastes that
could be classfied as reactive.
Both acid and alkaline waste streams contain grace quantities of spent
solvents with classifications of F0 2 and. F003. The l002 wastes include
"Y"U 'L*AAI 4-^I,.A-

under 261. (a)(2). The wastewater treatment plant staff is notified when
unintentional losses occur and actions are taken to properly handle and treat
that caste. The acid stream is neutralized with CaO, Ca(OH)2 and/or CaCO3.
It then flows to a settling lagoon cohere it mixes with the alkaline stream.
Gypsum precipitate generated from the neutralization of sulfuric acid, solids
in the alkaline wastewater, and biological solids from wasted activated
sludge farm sludges that are classified as hazardous because of the hazardous
designation of the. wastewater. These sludges are disposed of in impoundments
Z02 , B, and C.
.s part of the NPDES`treatment facility, hazardous waste management in the
surface impoundments relies on 'proper operation of the entire 'treatment
facility. Toward this end, analyses that provide for proper operation of
the wastewater treatment facility also provide for proper management of the
hazardous castes. Average values of routine analyses performed on incoming
wastes from January 1, 1983 to June 30, 1983, are given in Table C-6.

4. Sam lin and Analysis Plan urface' m oundments
Wastewater composite samples are collected using an automatic sampler
programmed to collect equal portions of the wastewater at 1.5 to 30 minute
intervals. Grab samples are collected using a glass quart jar attached to a
wooden sampling stick. Sampling locations are as follows.
Acid Stream 01 influent flume, discharge ..from neutrali-
zation tanks
Alkaline Stream - Final alkaline suer junction box
Combined Waste At Z028 outlet
Fixed Liquor Z04 recirculation line
Clarifier Effluent,- Chlorine contact basin entrance
Final effluent - Final flow measurement flume
Continuous pH monitoring probes are in the final alkaline ,junction lox, two
places in the acid neutralization tank., Z03, Z04, and the final sampling
paint. Continuous dissolved oxygen probes are in Z04 and the final sampling
print. Table 7 is a copy of our NPDES permit limitations and monitoring
requirements. All these parameters are analyzed using methods approved by
EPA. for wastewater. Copies of data log sheets used for process control
information are included as 'fable -8.
.analyses for specific F002, F003, and F005 constituents are not performed on
a scheduled basis. Periodic studies using GC and GC/MS analysis have shown
these constituents to normally be present in the raw wastewater in concentrations
less than 25 ppm. These wastes, however, do not presently meat the conditions
for exclusion under the mixture rule [261.3)(a)(2)'fv. A. & B.I. Any unin--

tended production Losses of these compounds are reported immediately to the
wastewater treatment plant.
Several commercial chemical products could be lost to the seder by accidental
releases -in greater than de minimis quantities. Small quantities of these
materials may also be present as process wastes. Analysis for these compounds
is not normally performed unless an unintended loss to the serer warrants
such analysis.
5. Cly su ludEe and lastewater Effluent hsract ristics for Basin Z02B
Table C-8 shows the results of sludge analyses for 'hazardous constituents
which are solvents 00 , 005 that may be in the wastewater. These samples
present a composite description of the waste characteristics during the
eleven years the basin has been in service. liable C-9 presents the results
of tests on Basin Z0 B effluent discharging into Basin Z03.
odyeco instituted a spill prevention program and installed facilities to
control and contain spills when they occur. The results of this program and
new facilities has been a; reduction in the rash wastewater organic constituents
based on verbal analysis results from the EPA Effluent guidelines Division.
EPA conducted a four week: study of the Eodyeco wastewater treatment facility
and reported that early results indicate the raw wastewater generally contains
2 to 3 m /l. of organic priority pollutants and the effluent leveloforganic
priority pollutants was less than 0.01 mg/l. This data will be provided to
EPA as an addendum to the Part 'B' Application after receipt from the EPA
Effluent Guidelines Division.

SECTION p
PROCESS INFORMATION
The information provided in this section is submitted in accordance with the
requirements of. 40 CFR Part 270.15 and 270.16. Other regulations addressed to
complete this section include 44 CFR § 264.1.7, § 264.175, §'274.176, § 264..177,
§ 264.191, § 264.192, and § 264.198.
This section discusses specific process information for the storage of containers
and tanks and the surface impoundments.
Sod eco has two container storage ;sites and one storage tank at s third location.
The waste container storage area, and tank storage area designs and specifications
were all certified by a registered professional engineer.
I. Containers,40 CFI. 27t1.15
Sodyeco's two container storage areas are located at Building 33 and inside
Building 42. The total drum storage capacity at the two sites is 176 drums,
however, inventory at the facility will normally be 100 drums or :less.
Hazardous wastes are generally stored only long enough to accumulate a
truckload for shipment to are EPA approves disposal facility.
a. Building 33 Store e reap
Hazardous waste materials steered at Building 33 are generatedwithin
that building and consist of two types of waste. One waste is a still
bottom tar that results from the distillation of o-- i hlorobenzene
( C{12) which carries a toxicity hazard. The other wasteis an aqueous
still residue resulting from distillation of methanol (FO03). although
D-

this waste is listed as ignitable, repeated tests have shown it to have
a flash point above 60*C. Present inventory consists of 16 drums of
the F003 waste.
.After the waste materials are drummed, they are labeled as to their
content's in conformance with 40 C p 262.32(b). 'These two waste mater-
ials are compatible and are stored together can. a 40-foot truck trailer
located at the south dock. of Building 3 (See Figure D-l). Drums are
manually placed on the trailer one drum high. This area is away from
any sources of ignition and is inspected regularly (See Section F 2).
The area surrounding and under the trailer is sloped to drain to an
acid suer. The waste materials stored in this location can be treated
in Sodyeco's wastewater treatment system if a spill should occur.
When the trailer is full, it is transported to the Building 42'area.
The drums are manually moved from the trailer onto another truck trailer
for shipment to a disposal facility.
b. Building 42 Storage Area:
Presently stored at this site are 17 drams containing dinirtrochloroben ene
and rust (DO03). This storage site could receive for storage in the
future other miscellaneous hazardous wasted arising --rimarily from dis-
carding of off -specification products, production hazardous wastes, and
clean. -cep materials.
The container storage consists of a curbed 20' x 23' concrete area
within Building 42 shown it Figure D-2. Figures -3 and -4 show the
containment and sump design.
The entrance to the containment area is

. 'Tank [40 C k 270 - I I I
a. Description of Tank:
100,000-gallon concrete tank is located adjacent to one another north-
west of guiding 45. This tank has been used for storage: of hazardous
wastes from Building 45 generated during the manufacture of a product
which is no longer produced.
The 1 0,000-gallon tank is of concrete construction and was farmed in
place. The dimensions of the tank and construction specifications are
spawn in Figure -. The tank is covered by a fiberglass pitched roof
with a slope of 8.9%. The wooden frame of the roof is supported by the
40-foot sides of the tank, with approximately a 2-foot clearance in the
middle of each. -foot side. Approximately 3 feet of the tank is exposed
above ground level with the remainder below ground.
. Tank Corrosion and Erosion:
The concrete tank is constructed of materials that are resistant to cor-
rosion and erosion by the wastes stored in; them. The tang is inspected
according to the schedule in Section F for evidence of corrosion,
d Tank Nianaement practices
The campaign that generated the wastes stored in the tank has been com-
pleted and no more of: these wastes are expected to be generated. The
concrete tank has been pumped out with the wastes going to a hazardous
waste landfill. This tank may be used in the future for storage of some
new production wastes classified as hazardous.
D--d-

The waste stored in the concrete storage tank was a liquid production
waste (FO05), and also contained some of a tar material that doses not
flow at ambient temperatures. The wastes were pumped directly into the
tank from the top through a fixed piping system in a batch operation.
Tank levels are measured before ;pumping operations to ensure adequate
space exists. The pumping operation is manually controlled. At lust
one foot of freeboard is maintained.
3. Process Information ® Surface m ourdment
Sodyeco's hazardous caste surface impoundments are used as stowage, treatment,
and disposal units in the NPDE S Wastewater Treatment Facility. Figure D-µ6
(p. it-14) shows"a schematic of the wastewater flow through the various
impoundments and tanks of the wastewater treatment system. Figures --1 and
-2 show plan views of the facility.
. akgroiund.
The wastewater treatment facility was first constructed in 1966 as a
neutralization and aeration facility. The activated :sludge system was
added in 1973 and became operational in 1974. A number of modifications
and additions have been made to the facility over the years to improve
treatment and to expand sledge disposal impoundments. Spill control and
pretreatment projects have significantly reduced production losses into
the surface impoundments. These projects have included additional tank
dikes, concrete loading/unloading areas, railcar loading/unloading
catchment, phenol pretreatment and similar projects.-
b. Present Operation:
Acid wastes having the characteristic of corosivity are collected in a
separate sewer system and discharged into impoundment Z01 for temporary
storage. Z01 can overflow through a pipe into Z 5@ Wastewater is pumped
-1

from either Z1 or Z08 to the acid neutralization concrete tank. Typic-
ally, the acid is neutralized initially to a phi of approximately 3 with
a powdered CaO/CaCO3 material or with powdered CaCO3- Ca(OH)2 slurry is
then added to bring the wastewater to a roughly neutral p8. Both feed
systems work independently off of two: separate pit controllers. In this
way the Ca(OH)2 slurry can be used alone for neutralization or can act
as a safety backup for the powdered lute system. After this treatment,
the wastewater no longer has the corrosive characteristic.
The neutralized acid stream carrying gypsum solids resulting from the
neutralization of sulfuric acid flows through a canal in the eastern edge
of Z 2A into the northeast corner of Z02E. Except for the canal, Z02A is
full with acid neutralization solids accumulated in years past. Z028,
which was constructed in 1972, acts as a settling and equalization basin.
Non-acid wastewater is collected in a separate serer system called the
alkaline sewer. It flaws into a`pump station and is pumped to the south-
west corner of Z 2E. If the pH of the alkaline sewer should become acid,
the flow is automatically diverted to<Z08.< Impoundment Z 3 acts as a
storm surge basin for the alkaline suer. In Z 28 the alkaline stream
mixes with the neutralized acid stream. Most solids in the alkaline
stream settle out with the gypsum. Waste activated sludge is discharged
into the final alkaline sewer junction box and is pumped with the alka-
line stream ;out to Z02E. fixers near the discharge of Z02E help produce
an equalized waste stream for the biological system.
Z02C was completed in 1980 to dispose of gypsum sludge that was filling
Z 2B. Z02C was but in service on .January 25, 1983. A Mudcat hydraulic
i 1 l

dredge is used to transfer sludge material from Z02 - to Z02C. Superna-
tant can then flow back into Z02 . A fixed pump station with two 3 MGD
pumps will be added to Z02B in 1984 to pump wastewater from Z02B to Z02C
for temporary storage. A controlled release facility will also be com-
pleted in 1984 which will allow treated effluent to be pulped to Z02C
for storage at a design rate of 4 MGD. This material will then flow
back through the treatment system prior to discharge.
The equalized wastewater in Z02B flows by gravity through a 20-inch
diameter pipe to Z03. Z03 with 12 floating aerators, acts as a preaera-
tion facility from April to September and as the first stage in the acti-
vated sludge process from September to April. The wastewater then flaws
freers Z03 into ZC . " 4, with S fined mechanical aerators, is the primary
biological system, utilizing the extended aeration complete mix activated
sludge process. The biological mixed liquor flows by gravity through a
splitter box into either or both of two 80-foot circular concrete clari-
fiers. Sludge underfl.ow is recycled to Z04 and/or Z03, or is disposed
via the alkaline pump station to Z02B.
Effluent leaving the clarifiers passes through a baffled concrete tank
called the contact basin. This basin was originally built for chlorine
addition and contact; however, there is no need to add chlorine to the
effluent. ;from the contact basin the effluent flows into Z30, the first
of two final settling ponds. Very few solids, however, are left in the
effluent at this time, to settle out. After leaving this polishing pond.,
the effluent mixes with the non -hazardous backwash water :from our process
and potable water treatment facility. The combined effluent then flows
-12

through a narrow earthern canal into Z32, the final settling pond for
settling pond for polishing. Bath Z30 and Z32 are periodically dredged
out with the Mud at dredge and the solids pumped into Z02B or Z02 « Two
floating aerators in the discharge sale of Z32 ensure sufficient dissolved
oxygen is present for =discharge 'to the. river. Caustic and acid can be
added at this paint for emergency pH adjustment. A controlled release
facility is; planned for part of Z32, downstream from the aerators. This
facility will consist of three 2 MGD pumps and a mechanism for controlling
effluent discharge flow to a pre -determined amount. Excess incoming flow
will be pumped to Z02C for temporary storage. This controlled release
facility is specified in a new NP ES permit to limit BOO-NH3 discharge
during periods of very low riven flow. This plaint at the end of Z32 is
the final sampling point for NPDES permit compliance.
Hazardous wastesentering the surface impoundments are discussed in;
Section C. All impoundments were existing and in use prior to January
26, 1983, and, therefore, are exempt from the liner requirement. More
information is contained in Section K.

Drum filling is normally accomplishedin the processing areas. The still
residues generated in Building 33 are piped directly from the still into
drugs. The drums are manually leaded onto the trailer located at the
building dock. Any spills occurring during this operation would either
be contained and re drummed', or could flow' into the wastewater itreatment
system and he treated.
Drums stored at Building 42 can come from a number of sources.' Off -
specification products or production wastes will normally be drummed
within the processing area and transported to Building 42 by forklift.
Most of these wastes are solid at ambient temperature and spillage would
be contained. Liquid spills within process areas would go to the serer
system. A spill in the storage area would be contained within the curb.
Some materials in this area could be the result of cleanup of spills
within the plant area. These materials world either be pumped or shov-
eled into drums by personnel properly; equipped for safety;.
Waste stored in the concrete tang is piped directly from the processing
area to the storage tank
Unloading operations at the container storage areas generally involve
moving of drums from storage onto a true for transportation to a disposal
facility. In the case of the storage at Building 33 the storage trailer
P2

is moved to an open area near Building 42 situated back-to-back with a
second trailer, and drums manually moved to the second trailer for trans-
porting to the disposal facility. The drums in storage in Building 42
are generally loaded onto a truck which is backed up to the edge of the
cubed storage area at the door of the building.
Unloading of the storage tank involves pumping of wastes to a tank truck
or to drums for transportation to storage or disposal. facilities. The
tanker loading area at the concrete tank is curbed to contain any small
spillage.
. Runoff O CF'R 270. 4(b)(S)jii
Runoff from ;Building 33 storage flows; into the plant sewer system and is
treated by the wastewater treatment plant which is designed to handle
these stored waste materials. Storage at Building 42 is diked: and is
located within the building, effectively eliminating runoff from this

Hazardous Waste Lana ment activities
odyeco's wastewater treatment plant surface impoundments are classified as
part of the hazardous waste management facility and are subject to RCRA regu-
lations. The acid wastewater prior to neutralization exhibits the, character-
istic of corrosivity:because of its low p,. Otherwise, the wastewater (and
sludge generated from it) is classified as hazardous waste because it contains
trace quantities of solvents and sulfide, and could include a small quantity
of several listed wastes.
Sodyeco stores hazardous wastes in the following locations:
