Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. These samples shall be representative of
the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water -Act (CWA), as amended, 33 USC 1251, et.
seq.
Annual Average
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal
coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Arithmetic Mean
The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
Bypass
The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is
not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility.
Calendar Day
The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any
consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
Calendar Week
The period from Sunday through the following Saturday.
Calendar Quarter
One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December.
Composite Sample
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 mL in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The
Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval
between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected. manually or automatically. Composite
samples may be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period
of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample
collection, or
(3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with
the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow
measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the
preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at
the treatment system, or
Version 1110912011.1

NPDES Permit Standard Conditioris
Page 2 of 18
(4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at a
constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method may only be
used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following restrictions also apply:
➢ Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters
➢ Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour.
➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time < 24 hours shall collect effluent grab
samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period.
➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect effluent
grab samples at least every six hours; there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24-hour sampling
period.
Continuous flow measurement
Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be
monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance
activities on the flow device.
Daily Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as
the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. For pollutants expressed in other units of measurement, the
"daily discharge" is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the day. (40 CFR 122.2; see also
"Composite Sample," above.)
Daily Maximum
The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month.
Daily Sampling
Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the
permit. Sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other disruptions of normal operations
prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week for any permit parameter(s), that
requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s).
DWR or "the Division'
The Division of Water Resources, Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
Effluent
Wastewater discharged following all treatment processes from a water pollution control facility or other point source
whether treated or untreated.
EMC

Facility Closure
Cessation of all activities that require coverage under this NPDES permit. Completion of facility closure will allow this
permit to be rescinded.
Geometric Mean
The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of
calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection level]") shall be considered = 1.
Grab Sample
Individual samples of at least 100 mL collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be
collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream
samples).

Hazardous Substance
Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the CWA.
Instantaneous flow measurement
The flow measured during the minimum time required for the flow measuring device or method to produce a result in
that instance. To the extent practical, instantaneous flow measurements coincide with the collection of any grab
samples required for the same sampling period so that together the samples and flow are representative of the discharge
during that sampling period.
Monthly Average (concentration limit)
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar month. In the case of fecal
coliform or other bacterial parameters or indicators, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Water Resources.
Quarterly Average (concentration limit)
The arithmetic mean of all samples taken over a calendar quarter.

Interference
Inhibition or disruption of the POTW treatment processes; operations; or its sludge process, use, or disposal which
causes or contributes to a violation of any requirement of the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's if different from the
Penmittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge permit or prevents sewage sludge use or disposal in
compliance with specified applicable State and Federal statutes, regulations, or permits. [15A NCAC 02H
.0903(b)(14)]
Pass Through
A discharge which exits the POTW into waters of the State in quantities or concentrations which, alone or with
discharges from other sources, causes a violation, including an increase in the magnitude or duration of a violation, of
the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's, if different from the Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge
permit. [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(23)]
Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW)
A treatment works as defined by Section 212 of the CWA, which is owned by a State or local government organization.
This definition includes any devices and systems used in the storage, treatment, recycling and reclamation of municipal
sewage or industrial wastes of a liquid nature. It also includes the collection system, as defined in 15A NCAC 2T
.0402, only if it conveys wastewater to a POTW treatment plant. The term also means the local government
organization, or municipality, as defined in section 502(4) of the CWA, which has jurisdiction over indirect discharges
to and the discharges from such a treatment works. In this context, the organization may be the owner of the POTW
treatment plant or the owner of the collection system into which an indirect discharger discharges. This second type of
POTW may be referred to as a "satellite POTW organization." [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(26)]
"Significant Industrial User" or "SIU"
An Industrial User that discharges wastewater into a publicly owned treatment works and that [15A NCAC 02H
.0903(b)(33)]:
1. Discharges an average of 25,000 gallons per day or more of process wastewater to the POTW (excluding sanitary,
noncontact cooling and boiler blowdown wastewaters); or
2. Contributes process wastewater which makes up five percent or more of the NPDES or non -discharge permitted
flow limit or organic capacity of the POTW treatment plant. In this context, organic capacity refers to BOD, TSS
and ammonia; or
3. Is subject to categorical standards under 40 CFR Part 403.6 and 40 CFR Parts 405-471; or
4. Is designated as such by the Permittee on the basis that the Industrial User has a reasonable potential for adversely
affecting the POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, or the POTW's effluent
limitations and conditions in its NPDES or non -discharge permit, or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options;
5. Subject to approval under 15A NCAC 02H .0907(b), the Permittee may determine that an Industrial User meeting
the criteria in paragraphs 1 or 2 of this definition above has no reasonable potential for adversely affecting the
POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, the POTW's effluent limitations and
conditions in its NPDES or non -discharge permit, or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options, and thus is not a
Significant Industrial User (SIU); or
6. Subject to approval under 15A NCAC 02H .0907(b), the Permittee may determine that an Industrial User meeting
the criteria in paragraph 3 of this definition above meets the requirements of 40 CFR Part 403.3(v)(2) and thus is a
non -significant categorical Industrial User.
Section B. Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs)
Version 1110912011.1

NPDES Permit Standard Conditions
Page 15 of 18
All POTWs must provide adequate notice to the Director of the following [40 CFR 122.42(b)]:

A. (3) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (Quarterly)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant
mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 0.75 %.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum,guarterlmonitoring using test procedures outlined in
the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or
subsequent versions or "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure"
(Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed 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.
If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV below
the permit limit, then multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in each of the
two following months as described in "North 'Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test
Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions.
The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the
highest concentration having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest
concentration that does have a detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of
"detectable impairment," collection methods, exposure regimes, and further statistical methods are
specked in the "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -
February 1998) or subsequent versions.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the parameter
code TGP3B for the pass/fail results and THP3B for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-3
(original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: NC DENR / DWQ / Environmental Sciences Branch
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch no later
than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made.
Test data shall be complete, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all
concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved designate
signature. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if
chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is
required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test
form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the
report with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted
to the Environmental Sciences Branch at the address cited above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required,
monitoring will be required during the following month.
If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently then required by this permit, the results of
such monitoring shall be included in the calculation & reporting of the data submitted on the DMR &
all AT Forms submitted.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Water Quality indicate potential. impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re-
opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control
organism survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environmental controls,
shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later
than the last day of the. month following the'month of the initial monitoring.

Permit NC0083275
A. (4) CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP
No later than May 29, 2009, the Permittee shall submit the following to the Division:
1. a statement indicating whether any physical alterations or additions to the permitted facility
are planned which meet the notice requirements of Section E. 2 of Part II, Standard Conditions
for NPDES Permits.
2. a complete flow justification for the proposed discharge and an Engineering Alternatives
Analysis (EAA).
If the Town is not employing the facility for wastewater treatment by the next permit renewal,
the Division of Water Quality will rescind the Permit.

The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water, Act, as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq.
Annual Average
The arithmetic mean -of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal
coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Arithmetic Mean
The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
Bypass
The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which
is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility.
Calendar Dav
The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any
consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used. for sampling.
Calendar Quarter
One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December.
Composite Sample
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 ml in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The
Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time
interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically.
Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour
period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample
collection, or
(3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period
with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling
point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and
totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the
expected total daily flow at the treatment system, -or
(4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at
a constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method
may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following
restrictions also apply:

SUMMARY -
The Harris Facility was a textile plant that finished Broadwoven fabrics of cotton and manmade fabrics of fibers
and silk. The operations at the facility include desizing, scouring, bleaching, mercerizing, and resin treatment.
Some fabric was dyed. The discharge was regulated under 40 CFR 410, Subpart D, Part 410.45 (New Source
Performance Stanards). The facility has a wastewater treatment plant on site to provide treatment for the
industrial process wastewaters. Domestic wastewater was treated separately from industrial wastewater in an
on -site system. .
The Town of Forest City has purchased the plant after the textile plant was shut down. The Ownership
Change Permit Modification was completed on January 23, 2008. Currently the facility is no longer in
operation. The Town wishes to keep the permit active. -
Broad River is listed on the 303(d) list (2008 Draft integrated report) for Aquatic _Life impairment due to the
turbidity violations.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES -
Special condition A. (4) CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP was added to the permit to insure that permit is modified
to reflect it's current status within reasonable. time period..

Dear Mr. Leith:
.:
Effective December 30, 2005, Dan River Inc. sold the Harris Plant to Gibbs International,
Inc., P. O. Box 1727' Spartanburg, SC 29301. The Harris Plant ceased operations on
December 16, 2005. Dan River Inc. requests that the above identified permit remain in
effect to permit the removal all the solids for land application and the proper closure or
the wastewater treatment facility. Dan River Inc. filed a schedule for closure of this
wastewater treatment facility with Ms. Beverly Price of the NC DENR Ashville Office on
December 2; 2005,1 This schedule planned for the wastewater treatment plant to be
cleaned and mothballed by March 1, 2006. We are now implementing this schedule as
weather permits.
If you have questions, please contact me at 434/799-7389 or by electronic mail at

Summary: The Dan River's Harris Facility is a textile plant that finishes Broadwoven fabrics of cotton and
manmade fabrics of fibers and silk. The operations at the facility include desizing, scouring, bleaching,
mercerizing, and resin treatment. Some fabric is dyed. The discharge is regulated under 40 CFR 410, Subpart
D, Part 410.45 (New Source Performance Stanards). The facility has a wastewater treatment plant on site to
provide treatment for the industrial process wastewaters. Domestic wastewater is treated separately from
industrial wastewater in an on -site system.
Form 1 General and Form 2C application forms were received by the Division on January 30, 2003. The
permit expired on July 31, 2003.
Facility Description: The facility receives woven fabrics made of cotton and cotton/polyester blends from
different sources. The fabric preparation steps consists of desizing and bleaching, a portion of the fabric goes
through the mercerizing process. The finishing process can include sanforizing, resin application and dyeing.
Not all the fabric goes through all the finishing processes. Only a small portion of the fabric is dyed in a pad
dyeing operation. They expect to continue to consolidate operations from other Dan River facilities and bring
more production into the facility in the coming years.
All process wastewaters go to the wastewater treatment plant. The treatment system consists of static bar
screens, equalization/neutralization basin, dual aeration basins with anoxic zone, dual secondary clarifiers,
parshall flume effluent meter, sludge digester, sludge holding tank and standby generator. Domestic waste
goes to an on -site septic system.
Basin Plan: The area in the Broad River were the discharge is located was not sampled for the current basin
plan report. In general the Broad River is classified as Good or Good -Fair in this sub -basin.
DMR Review: DMR data was reviewed for the period of January 2001 to December 2003. Average flow was
0.38 MGD. BOD averaged 20.4 Ibs/day, COD averaged 456 Ibs/day, and TSS averaged 33.6 Ibs/day. Total
Chromium averaged 0.014 Ibs/day, total phenols 0.056 Ibs/day and Sulfide averaged 0.17 Ibs/day. They had
one exceedance for Oil and Grease in September 2002.

Pollutant Scan: A pollutant scan was submitted with the permit application. Antimony and cyanide were

PERMITTING STRATEGY/LIMITS DEVELOPMENT
The limits in the permit were implemented when the permit was first issued in 1993. For the last permit
renewal the same limits were retained since the calculated limits were higher than the limits on the permit.
When the permit was originally issued the table for simple operations on Part 410.45 was used to calculate the
limits. Production has changed at the facility and now they perform complex operations that include resin
treatment on the fabrics. For this reason, Subpart D, 410.45 NSPS (Complex manufacturing operations) was
now applied to calculate limits. Long term production was estimated as 100,189 Ibs/day based on production
for 2001 — 2003. Calculated limits were higher than actual limits. They are meeting the current permit limits.
The limits will remain as in the previous permit. See the attached spreadsheet with the limits calculations.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES
• Eliminate monitoring for Lead and MBAS. Lead and MBAS did not present reasonable potential to
exceed water quality standards.

Dear Mr. Summey,
Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection form from the WV TP
inspection conducted on January -5, 2011. Don Price of the Asheville Regional Office conducted the
Compliance Evaluation Inspection. The facility was found to be in Compliance with permit NCO083275
at the time of the inspection.
'No -Discharge' was observed from the facility at the time of the inspection, and it was observed
that electric power had been 'dis-connected' for the facility and there . are some issues with
housekeeping. In order to maintain security of facility and eliminate any potential safety issues, it is
suggested the electric service be re -connected and facility staffing be reviewed to address any potential
safety issues.

Review of facility indicates it is "INACTIVE" and not in operation, and'no discharge' was observed at the
time of the inspection. System is operated by Town of Forest City and their staff, who wish to keep the
permit active, so as to make it attractive to potential Industrial Clients.System has had 'electric power
disconnected' and housekeeping in and around facility grounds has not been maintained.
It is suggested the Town review staffing issues for this system and contact Electrical Power supplier to
're -connect' service so lighting in and around facility and security of facility can be maintained. The time and
assistance of Jeff Dotson, ORC, in conducting the inspection is appreciated. Should there be questions or
you wish to discuss permit, please contact Don Price at [phone].

I21R8a 59AVb occurring on the Henry Edwards site at the time of inspection. The field is enclosed with fencing. No ponding
or runoff was observed. Buffers were flagged. Southern Soil Builders appears to be doing a good job administering the land
application program for Dan River Harris.
A review of the 2004 Annual Report was included as part of the inspection. Alternative #6 was checked for the Class A method of,
pathogen reduction. The Pathogen And Vector Attraction Reduction Certification Form is not required. The residuals produced. here
are not class A or B biosolids. Pathogen density is required as a permit condition but it is not subject to the 503 general requirements
for land application as the residuals are not Class A or B. Therefore the fecal results should be included in the Annual Report but not
recorded on the Certification Form.
Jim Kendrick, WWTP ORC indicated that the plant is expecting to be shut down and closed within the next two months. All sludge
should be removed from the facility before closure. The current land application event will put the Harris Facility at the permitted limit
for residuals application for the current year. The -Division should be notified and permission granted for temporary approval to
exceed the current permit limit for residuals distribution as approximately 600,000 gallons of sludge will remain in the tanks.

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
The reason for this inspection was insure the compliance of the WWTP as the plant begins, what has been
indicated to the operator as, a shutdown and closure.
The Plant is in excellent condition and appears to be operating well. The flow at the time of the inspection
was 0.225mgd, which is <50% of the normal flow.
It is recommended to the operators that as the flow to the WWTP decreases that the operator consider use of
only one aeration basin. The unused basin should be allowed to "burn off" its biomass, by allowing the
aerators to run for a period of time. It is recommended that unused basins remain at least one half full, to
prevent damage.
At the time of this inspection 350,000 gallons of sludge was being removed from the WWTP for land application.
There will be 600,000 to 700,000 gallons of sludge remaining in the WWTP once the current application is
completed.
Prior to closure all sludge should be removed from the WWTP. Please make arrangemnets with the Aquifer
Protection Section (APS) for this removal. Bev Price [phone]. The operator stated that Dan River may
use a polymer to reduce the volume of sludge stored on site. We recommend you be very careful in the use of
these chemicals and you notify APS prior to its use.
You are reminded that you are required to notify the Division no later than 24 hours of any upset or
noncompliance. This communication may become critical as'the WWTP moves closer to shutdown. Weekly
communication with the Division is recommended. Followup visits from the Division may be required.
