Dear Mr. Davidson—
Enclosed is the subject report with results of August 2014 dioxin in fish tissue for Waterville Lake as
required by special condition I.A.(9.)of the May 2010 NPDES permit.
In January 2007,the NC Department of Health and Human Services(DHHS) lifted the fish advisory
for common carp in Waterville Lake and requested two additional years of fish tissue sampling and
surveillance,which were completed in 2009. The May 2010 NPDES Permit for the Blue Ridge
Canton Mill requires three(3)additional years of fish tissue sampling and surveillance in the
summer of 2011,2013 and 2014. This report completes the 2014 surveillance.
Very truly

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Blue Ridge Paper Products Inc., dba Evergreen Packaging, Canton Mill contracted the
Department of Forestry, Wildlife and Fisheries of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville(UTK)
to collect fish tissue samples for dioxin analysis from the Pigeon River during the summer of
2014 in accordance with NPDES permit conditions. UTK field personnel followed the March
2006 revision (Wilson 2006) to the December 2001 Fish Tissue Sampling Plan prepared by EA
Engineering, Science and Technology, Inc., (EA Engineering 2001a) of Chicago, Illinois. UTK
prepared this 2014 fish tissue sampling report using the revised protocol of 2006.
Bottom feeding species (channel catfish and common carp) were collected in August 2014 from
two locations (Stations 4A and 4B) in the Pigeon River (Waterville Lake) and analyzed for
2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzofirran (TCDF), and other
CDD and CDF congeners.
Concentrations of 2,3,7,8-TCDD and 2,3,7,8-TCDF in channel catfish fillets were below
detection level (DL) in Stations 4A and 4B (4A DL = 0.98 ppt for 2,3,7,8-TCDD and 0.98 ppt
for 2,3,7,8-TCDF; 4B DL = 1.0 ppt for both 2,3,7,8-TCDD and 2,3,7,8-TCDF). In common
carp, 2,3,7,8-TCDD was 1.5 ppt in fillet composites collected at Station 4A and was 2.1 ppt at
Station 4B. For 2,3,7,8-TCDF the concentrations in common carp fillets were 2.5 ppt at Station
4A and 2.7 ppt at Station 4B. The concentration of 2,3,7,8-TCDF in the common carp whole
body sample collected at Station 4A was 0.96 ppt and 1.4 ppt for 2,3,7,8-TCDD and 2,3,7,8-
TCDF respectively(Table 6-1).
The mean weights of common carp collected from Stations 4A and 4B (4.436 kg, Station 4A;
6.013 kg, Station B) were lower than those collected in 2007 (6.490 kg, Station 4A; 6.552 kg,
Station 413),but consistent with weights of common carp collected in other previous years (2013,
5.052 kg, Station 4A; 4.364 kg, Station B; 2011, Station 4A, 4.144, Station 4B, 5.542; 2009,
4.303 kg, Station 4A; 4.848 kg, Station B; 2008, 4.727, Station 4A, 4.067, Station 413; 2006,
4.505 kg, Station 4A, 5.637 kg, Station 413; 2005, 3.857 kg - Station 4A, 4.695 kg - Station 413;
2004, 3.750 kg - Station 4A, 3.900 kg - Station 413; 1999-2003, 3.193 kg, Station 4A, 5.042 kg,
Station 4B). Lipid concentrations in common carp fillets in 2014 were 15-17%.
In January 2007, the NC DHHS lifted the fish advisory for common carp in Waterville Lake and
requested two additional years of fish tissue sampling and surveillance,which was completed in
2009. The May 2010 NPDES Permit for the Blue Ridge Canton Mill required three (3)
additional years of fish tissue sampling and surveillance. During the sampling years between
2008-2013 the concentrations in fish tissue fillets were below the NC DHHS 4 ppt TEQ action
level for fish consumption advisory. In 2014, TEQ values were below detection for channel
catfish for both sampling Stations; however, in common carp, TEQ values were 9.619 ppt for
Station 4A and 2.928 for Station 4B. The TEQ results for common carp fillets in 2014 and 2007
could be anomalies, or could indicate that some fish are present in the population with relatively
higher TEQ values. Lipid concentrations in common carp fillets were higher in 2014 (15%
Station 4A, 17% Station 4B) than in 2013 (4.2-8.7%), and the higher concentration of lipids in
2014 could explain some of the elevation in TEQ values observed in 2014 for common carp.

b) TCDD concentrations at Station 4B were not detected, therefore, the values plotted represent the detection limit for those samples.
The detection limit for 2,3,7,8-TCDD was elevated in the 2007 carp fillet for Station 4B because of a 10-fold dilution of the sample
which was required to overcome sample matrix effects (high lipid concentration) during analysis. Consequently, reporting the
detection limit for this sample can give a misleading impression that the concentration of 2,3,7,8-TCDD increased that year.

1.INTRODUCTION
The Blue Ridge Paper Products Inc., dba Evergreen Packaging, Canton Mill contracted the
Department of Forestry, Wildlife and Fisheries of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK)
to collect fish tissue samples for dioxin analysis from the Pigeon River during the summer of
2014 in accordance with NPDES permit conditions. UTK field personnel followed the March
2006 revision (Wilson 2006) to the December 2001 Fish Tissue Sampling Plan prepared by EA
Engineering, Science and Technology, Inc. (EA Engineering 2001a) of Chicago, Illinois.
This report details the results of a study conducted during August 2014 to determine the
concentrations of 2,3,7,8-TCDD (dioxin) and 2,3,7,8-TCDF (furan) in bottom-feeding fish
collected from the Pigeon River near Canton, North Carolina. The report follows the template
developed by EA Engineering for prior reporting years. The 2014 fish tissue study is number 23
in a series of fish tissue surveys designed and conducted to be responsive to the requirements of
A.(9.)Dioxin Monitoring Special Condition in Blue Ridge Paper's current NPDES permit for the
Canton Mill (Permit No. NC0000272). Sampling locations, selection of target species, sampling
methods, and sample preparation/preservation techniques are in accordance with the study plan.
The approved study methods and scope detailed herein generally follow those used since 1990
(EA 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993a, 1993b, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2001b, 2001c, 2003,
2004, Wilson 2006, Henry and Wilson 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2013). However, selected
project details were modified to be responsive to the suggestions/recommendations of the North
Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR), the Tennessee
Wildlife Resources Agency, U.S. EPA Region IV, and the North Carolina Department of Health
and Human Services (NC DHHS). The principal change in the program was that the collection
and analysis of sportfish composite samples have not been required since 2000. In 2006,project
details were modified again to be responsive to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality
(NC DWQ) and these modifications were adhered to in the present investigation (i.e.,2014).
The principal changes to the program in 2006 were the elimination of sampling of the main stem
of the Pigeon River beginning in 2006 and the collection of at least one whole body bottom
feeder sample from Waterville Lake (Stations 4A or 4B). These changes are included in more
detail in Appendix D.
The 2014 study was conducted during August, during which time biologists from UTK collected
and prepared fish tissue samples from the two Waterville Lake sampling locations (Stations 4A
and 4B) on the Pigeon River. Details relevant to the location of Pigeon River sampling stations
and fish tissue sampling objectives follow in Sections 2 and 3, respectively. Fish collection
techniques and level of effort are detailed in Section 4; methods of sample preparation and
shipment are presented in Section 5. Analytical results are summarized in Section 6 and
references are provided in Section 7.

2. SAMPLING LOCATIONS
In accordance with the study plan (Wilson 2006) that was implemented in 2006, 2007, and 2008
(Henry and Wilson 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2013), fish were collected from two sampling
locations on the Pigeon River. For this sampling period two sites (Stations 4A and 4B) were
sampled. Detailed sampling station information for both sites is provided in Table 2-1 and
Figure 2-2.
Monitoring Stations 4A and 4B are located in Waterville Lake at RM 41.5 and 39.0, respectively
(Figure 2-1). Station 4A is located approximately 21.8 RM downstream from the Mill outfall,
near the Messer Branch-Pigeon River confluence (Figure 2-2). Monitoring Station 4B is in the
vicinity of the Wilkins Creek-Pigeon River confluence, approximately 24.3 RM downstream
from the Canton Mill outfall (Figure 2-2). Appropriate habitats were sampled within each study
reach in an effort to collect the desired complement of fishes.
Fish sampling was conducted in the vicinity of each location described above; however, the
distance or effort at each station depended on how difficult it was to collect fish at that station.
The Station 4B study area consisted of an approximate 1.0 RM reach of Waterville Lake located
from the dam to the confluence of Wilkins Creek. Sampling at Stations 4A and 4B included
electrofishing and setting of trot lines near the shore along both the left and right banks of
Waterville Lake.
Reservoir water level in 2014 was approximately at full pool and was similar to water levels in
2006. Stations 4A and 4B sample areas covered approximately the same surface area as water
levels in 2004-2006.

3. SAMPLING OBJECTIVES
In accordance with the study plan (Wilson 2006), the goal of the fish collection effort was to
collect one composite bottom feeder fillet sample at both sampling stations 4A and 4B. Each
composite consisted of 3 to 5 similarly-sized (shortest specimen within 75% of the length of the
longest) adult individuals of the target species. Common carp (Cyprtnus carpio) and channel
catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) were the targeted species at sites 4A and 4B. In addition to fillet
samples,one whole body common carp was collected from Station 4A.
In summary fish were collected as follows:
• Bottom feeder fillet composite--one sample at both locations
• Catfish fillet composite—one sample at both locations
• Common carp whole body composite—one sample from Station 4A
Every reasonable effort was made to collect the desired size, species and/or number of fish;
however, the outcome of the sampling effort each year is dependent on physical river conditions
and the natural diversity and abundance of target fishes at each sampling location. The 2014
Pigeon River collections yielded the desired species at each location. In addition, the number of
specimens collected made it possible to composite individuals of similar weight and length (with
larger/adult specimens preferred), and the 75% rule was met for all samples.

4. FISH COLLECTION TECHNIQUES AND LEVEL OF EFFORT
Sampling was conducted during 6 August 2014. Notes were recorded at each sampling station
with regard to the type of sampling gear, level of effort (time), and habitat(Tables 2-1 and 4-1).
All fish submitted for tissue analysis (including whole body specimen) were measured to the
nearest millimeter (total length) and weighed to the nearest gram (wet weight). These data are
summarized in Table 4-2. For 2014, the mean total length of carp was 711 mm and fish ranged
from 660-759 mm. In 2013, the mean total length for carp was 683 mm and fish ranged from
630-722 mm. Previously, fish collections were conducted by EA Engineering, Science, and
Technology (see References), and the mean for carp total length was 618 mm for fish submitted
for analysis between 1993 and 2003.
The field investigators were equipped with an array of collecting gear, which enabled sampling
of all habitats regardless of river conditions. U.S. EPA recommends active methods of fish
collection in the Sampling Guidance Manual (Versar 1984), such as electrofishing, trawling,
angling, or seining. These are preferred over passive methods (e.g., gill nets, trap nets, trot lines)
because samples are collected from more definable areas (Versar 1984). A boat electrofishing
unit(pulsed direct current) was used at both stations. The boat electrofisher was equipped with a
Smith Root Type VIA electrofisher, and powered by a 240-volt, 5000-watt generator.
Electrofishing techniques followed those described in the National Dioxin Study(Versar 1984).
Fish collection techniques and level of effort (time) expended at both stations are summarized in
Table 4-1. Total study effort for collection of fish at Stations 4A/413 was 1.8 hours electrofishing
and trot lines were used for 48 hours.

Target species were collected at both sampling stations in 2014. Common carp, the target
bottom feeder at Stations 4A, and 4B, were collected (and prepared for fillet and/or whole body
analysis) at those stations. Because of the physiography of the Waterville Lake Stations 4A and
4B, trot lines were used in addition to the electrofishing gear for the collection of bottom feeding
species. All trot lines were pulled and examined on a regular basis to reduce stress or specimen
mortality. All specimens submitted for analysis appeared healthy and in good condition. Lengths
and weights for each fish making up each composite are provided in Table 4-2.
Bottom feeder fillet composites samples consisted of five channel catfish and five common carp
at Station 4A, and five channel catfish and three common carp at Station 4B. A single bottom
feeder whole body common carp from Station 4A was submitted for analysis (Table 4-2).
All 18 composite fillets submitted for analysis in 2014 met the US EPA Region IV
recommendation (Cunningham 1990) that the smallest specimen in each composite be equal to
or greater than 75% of the total length of the largest specimen in that composite (Tables 4-2 and
6-4).
Figure 4-la-b illustrates the length and weight distribution of fish collected for tissue analysis
from Waterville Lake since 2004. The size distribution of catfish remained similar between
2004 and 2014. The size of the carp taken for whole body tissue analysis from Station 4A in
2014 was similar to size of whole body fish collected in previous years.

5. SAMPLE PREPARATION
All fish tissue samples were prepared in accordance with U.S. EPA Region IV recommendations
(Cunningham 1990) as described in EA (2001a). To prevent cross-contamination between
sampling stations, all sampling equipment likely to come into contact with the fish was rinsed
with isopropanol and acetone then rinsed extensively with water filtered by reverse osmosis
between stations.
Specimens collected at each station were sorted by size and species, and target species were
identified. The objective was to obtain a 3- to 5-fish composite sample for channel catfish and
common carp at both 4A and 4B sample locations, as well as a common carp whole body sample
from either station in Waterville Lake which met the species and size objectives discussed in
Section 3. From the target fishes collected, specimens of similar length and weight were selected
for each composite sample. All specimens retained were immediately placed on ice for later
processing. For each fish retained, length and weight data were recorded on the appropriate
fisheries data sheet.
Following identification of target organisms, selection of composite samples, and collection of
length/weight data, each specimen was prepared for shipment and analysis. Bottom feeder fillet
samples consisted of epaxial muscle tissue and skin from one side of the fish. Bottom feeder
whole body samples consisted of the entire fish. Fillet samples were prepared by removing
scales (or removing the skin from catfishes) and then making an incision behind the opercula(on
both sides of the fish) from the base of the spine (behind the skull) to just below the pectoral fin.
Care was taken to cut through the epaxial muscle without puncturing the rib cage or gut lining.
A second incision was made along the length of the spine to the caudal fin on both sides of the
fish. The epaxial muscle was then gently cut away from the rib cage to obtain a fillet. In this
fashion, all flesh and skin was obtained from head to tail on both sides of the fish. Fillet knives
were solvent rinsed (hexane and acetone) between fish from different stations. Each composite
sample was wrapped in aluminum foil (dull side toward sample), labeled, and placed on ice in
the field.
All individual specimens (fillets) composing a single composite sample were placed in a water-
tight plastic bag labeled with the station name, sample number, and species identification. A
chain-of-custody form was filled out for each cooler of samples submitted for analysis. Each
form included composite specific information and instructions. All chain-of-custody forms had
the following information:
• sample location and station identification,
• sampling team initials,
• date of collection,
• species name,
• sample type (i.e., fillet or whole body)
A copy of the chain-of-custody record is provided in Appendix A.

All samples were frozen solid prior to shipment to the analytical laboratory. The frozen samples
were packed on dry ice and shipped via overnight delivery, where they arrived on 8/28/14 at
TestAmerica West Sacramento. The back-up fillets were retained in a freezer at the Canton Mill
until laboratory analytical results for the right side fillets were received and verified.

6. ANALYTICAL RESULTS
The fish tissue samples were received in one shipment (828/14) at TestAmerica under chain-of-
custody protocol. Once received at the laboratory, samples were compared to the chain-of-
custody record to verify the content of each shipping container. Each individual fish or fillet
within a composite was homogenized separately by TestAmerica personnel, and equal aliquots
of the homogenate from each fish were removed to constitute the composite. Dioxin and furan
analyses were performed using high resolution Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry
(GC/MS) as required by the U.S. EPA. Laboratory documentation of all chemical extractions
and analyses are provided in Appendix B. All chemical analyses of the samples were conducted
using EPA Method 8290 (U.S. EPA 1994) as specified in the Fish Tissue Sampling Study Plan
(EA 2001 a).
The quality of the analytical results was assured through reproducible calibration and testing of
the extractions and GC/MS systems. A laboratory method blank was prepared along with each
batch of samples. The laboratory also used precision and recovery standards for determination
of initial and ongoing precision and accuracy.
Laboratory reports for all 2014 Pigeon River fish tissue dioxin, furan, and lipid content analyses
are provided in Appendix B. Each laboratory analysis report form lists the concentration of
2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p4oxin (TCDD), 2,3,7,8,-tetrachlorodibenzofuran (TCDF), and all
other CDD/CDF congeners. Results of the dioxin, furan, and lipid content analyses are
summarized in Table 6-1. Detection limits are reported parenthetically on a sample-specific
basis. Only fillet results are discussed below because North Carolina Department of Health and
Human Services(NC DHHS) considers only fillet results when issuing health advisories.
Concentrations of 2,3,7,8-TCDD and 2,3,7,8-TCDF in channel catfish fillets were below
detection limit(DL)in Station 4A(DL=0.98 ppt and 0.98 ppt respectively) and were also below
DL at Station 4B (DL= 1.0 for both 2,3,7,8-TCDD and 2,3,7,8-TCDF (Table 6-1)). In common
carp, the 2,3,7,8-TCDD concentration was 1.5 ppt at Station 4A and 2.1 ppt in fillet composites
collected at Station 4B. For 2,3,7,8-TCDF,the concentrations in common carp fillets were 2.5 at
Station 4A and 2.7 at Station 4B. The concentration of 2,3,7,8-TCDF in the common carp whole
body sample collected at Station 4A was 0.96 and 1.4 for 2,3,7,8-TCDD and 2,3,7,8-TCDF
respectively(Table 6-1).
Examination of the data in Table 6-1 indicates that all fish collected during this study had body
burdens well below the FDA dioxin health advisory level (25 ppt) for fish tissue [as established
and presented in FDA (1981, 1983) and Cordle(1983)].
The NC DHHS recommends an average dioxin toxicity equivalent(TEQ) level of 3 ppt or less in
fish tissue fillets. The NC DHHS issues dioxin fish tissue advisories at an average toxicity
equivalent of 4 ppt or greater(e-mail correspondence with Dr. Luanne Williams 18 January
2005). The TEQ of each chlorodibenzodioxin and furan(CDD/F) isomer is based on the toxicity
equivalence factor(TEF) (WHO 2005 and Table 6-2) as described in the 2001 Study Plan (EA
2001b). The TEQ value is calculated assuming additivity of effects for the individual congeners
of dioxin and furans and is expressed as an"equivalent amount of 2,3,7,8-TCDD"(NC DEHNR
1991). The measured concentration of each CDD/F isomer,when multiplied by its appropriate
TEF,yields the TEQ of that isomer(the toxic concentration of that isomer relative to the toxicity
of 2,3,7,8-TCDD). In cases where concentrations were below the level of detection, a value of
15
zero was used in the TEQ calculation. Based on an advisory by the World Health Organization
(e-mail correspondence with Dr. Luanne Williams 20 September 2006),new TER were
developed in 2005 by the WHO and are now being used instead of the 1997 TEFs.

The TEQ calculation and summarization schemes presented in Table 6-3 followed methods used
by NC DHHS (NC DEHNR 1991).
All channel catfish analyzed bad TCDD and TCDF congeners below detection resulting in a
TEQ of 0.000. The TEQ for common carp fillets was 9.619 ppt at Station 4A [value was above
the NC DHHS advisory limit (4 ppt)], and 2.928 ppt at Station 4B. The values reported in years
2005-2011 for channel catfish are consistent with the results for 2013. Common carp TEQ
results in 2007 were higher at Station 4A (13.44 ppt) and lower in Station 4B (1.263 ppt) than
observed in 2014, and both 2007 and 2014 were higher than those observed in other years (2005-
2006, 2008-2009; 2009, Station 4A, 1.560 ppt; Station 4B, 1.496 ppt). The results for common
carp in 2014 and 2007 could be anomalies, or could indicate that some (low frequency) fish are
present in the population with relatively higher TEQ values. Whole body carp collected at
Station 4A had TEQ of 2.017 ppt in 2014, whereas the 2013 whole body sample for common
carp collected at Station 4B had a TEQ result of 3.196 ppt.
Table 64 illustrates 2,3,7,8 TCDD concentrations in common carp fillet samples collected in
2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2014 and results for previous years (1990-2004) are
in Appendix C. Between 1990 and 2006, 2,3,7,8-TCDD concentrations in carp fillets declined
dramatically(94-99 %) at all sampling stations (Table 6-4, Appendix C, Figure 6-1).
The 2014 mean weight of common carp collected from Station 4A was 4.436 kg (Station 4B,
6.013 kg) and consistent with previous years. In 2013, the mean weights of common carp
collected from Stations 4A (5.052 kg) and Station 4B (4.364 kg) in 2013, were lower than those
collected in 2007 (6.490 kg- Station 4A; 6.552 kg -, Station 4B),but consistent with weights of
common carp collected in previous years (2008, 4.727- Station 4A, 4.067 Station 4B; 2006,
4.505 kg- Station 4A, 5.637 kg- Station 4B; 2005, 3.857 kg- Station 4A, 4.695 kg- Station 4B;
2004, 3.750 kg- Station 4A, 3.900 kg- Station 4B; 1999-2003, 3.193 kg- Station 4A, 5.042 kg-
Station 4B). Lipid concentrations in common carp fillets were higher in 2014 (15% Station 4A,
17% Station 4B) than in 2013 (4.2-8.79/o), and the higher concentration of lipids in 2014 could
explain some of the elevation in TEQ values observed in 2014 for common carp.

b) TCDD concentrations at Station 4B were not detected, therefore, the values plotted represent the detection limit for those samples.
The detection limit for 2,3,7,8-TCDD was elevated in the 2007 carp fillet for Station 4B because of a 10-fold dilution of the sample
which was required to overcome sample matrix effects (high lipid concentration) during analysis. Consequently, reporting the
detection limit for this sample can give a misleading impression that the concentration of 2,3,7,8-TCDD increased that year

Dear Mr.Dickens:
The Water Quality Section has reviewed your request for modifications to the subject study plan
originally approved by the Division of Water Quality in February 1990. The 2001 dioxin fish
tissue monitoring plan is approved with the following changes:
• Elimination of main stem river sampling stations-beginning in 2006 fish tissue
samples will be collected only from Waterville Lake.
• Collect a least one whole body bottom feeder sample from Waterville Lake(stations
4A or 4B)to monitor ecological impacts of dioxin contamination in bottom species.
• Continue with the collection of bottom feeder fillet samples in Waterville Lake as
approved in the 1990 study plan.
After reviewing your request to eliminate whole body dioxin analyses from Waterville Lake, our
staff recommends that this analysis be continued. Although the Waterville Lake data submitted
in your 2005 report shows low levels of dioxin,data submitted by Progress Energy in 2005
showed a mean dioxin TEQ value of 6.7 pg/g for common carp. The value was above the 4.0
pg/g TEQ value used by NCDHHS to post fish advisories for dioxin. As this time the dioxin
advisory for Waterville Lake remains in effect,and in our view,warrants continued monitoring.
If you have any further questions or comments please feel free to contact Mark Hale at 919/733-
6946.

Dear Mr.Hale—
The subject study plan revision is enclosed for Division of Water Quality(DWQ)review and
approval.
Background
The Blue Ridge Paper Products Inc.mill in Canton,North Carolina has completed biological
monitoring for dioxin in fish in the Pigeon River for the past 16 years. This annual biological
monitoring is a requirement of the Canton Mill's NPDES permit. The permit requires that we
follow a study plan approved by the DWQ for this work. Dioxin in fish sample collection and
reporting for 2002 through 2005 was conducted under the December 2001 Study Plan for
Pigeon River Dioxin Monitoring in Fish Tissue prepared by EA Engineering,Science and
Technology. EA Engineering completed the dioxin in fish sampling and reporting for years
2002 thru 2004. In 2005,Blue Ridge Paper contracted with the University of Tennessee,
Knoxville(UTK)Department of Forestry,Wildlife and Fisheries for the dioxin in fish tissue
work. UTK followed the 2001 Study Plan for the 2005 dioxin in fish sampling and report. The
2005 report was submitted to the DWQ on 20 Feb 2006.

Biological Monitorine Review
The first annual dioxin fish tissue sampling study of the Pigeon River was in 1990. At that time,
public health fish consumption advisories related to dioxin were in place for the Pigeon River
downstream of the Canton Mill for both North Carolina and Tennessee reaches of the river.
Dioxin fish tissue concentrations determined from annual sampling declined sharply following
completion of the Canton Mill modernization in 1993. Dioxin fish tissue sample concentrations
in bottom feeding species at main stem river sample locations became non-detect in 2000 and
have remained below analytical detection levels since that time. Dioxin fish tissue sample
concentrations in sport fish species from all sampling locations in the Pigeon River became non-
detect in the mid-1990s.
Based on annual fish tissue sampling,the State of North Carolina lifted the dioxin in fish
advisory for the Pigeon River upstream of Waterville Lake in August 2001. The State of
Tennessee lifted the dioxin in fish advisory for the Tennessee portion of the Pigeon River in
January 2003. The only fish advisory remaining is for carp in Waterville Lake. Dioxin levels in
carp collected from Waterville Lake since 2000 continue to be at or near analytical detection
levels and are below the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NC DHHS)
dioxin toxicity equivalent(TEQ)fish advisory action level of 4 parts per trillion(ppt).
The NC DHHS has indicated that two consecutive years of TCDD TEQ levels in carp of 3 ppt or
less would provide basis for lifting the public health advisory for consumption of carp from
Waterville Lake(e-mail correspondence from Dr.Luanne Williams,DHHS to Blue Ridge Paper
dated 9 Mar 2006). The TCDD TEQs for carp fillet composite samples from Stations 4A&4B
in Waterville Lake for the last two years are as follows:
Year Station 4A Station 4B
2004 2.5 ppt 2.2 ppt
2005 2.1 ppt 3.6 ppt

INTRODUCTION
The Blue Ridge Paper Products Inc. Canton Mill conducts annual biological monitoring of
dioxin in fish in the Pigeon River under conditions of the NPDES permit for the mill. This
monitoring for years 2002 thru 2005 was in accordance with the December 2001 Study Plan for
Pigeon River Dioxin Monitoring in Fish Tissue prepared by EA Engineering, Science and
Technology(EA 2001a). This document details changes for dioxin in fish monitoring beginning
in 2006. The 2001 study plan is incorporated by reference. The specific changes to the 2001
study plan include:
• elimination of main stem river sampling stations —fish tissue samples in 2006 will be
collected only from Waterville Lake
• elimination of whole body fish composite samples from the lake-- only composite fillet
samples of target bottom feeding fish species will be collected for laboratory analysis of
dioxin.
The 2006 dioxin in fish tissue sampling from Waterville Lake will be conducted by personnel
from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville(UTK),Department of Forestry,Wildlife and
Fisheries.
SAMPLE LOCATIONS
The schedule for fish tissue collection will be consistent with prior years targeting dry weather
periods in late August and early September. UTK will collect and prepare fish tissue samples
from two locations in Waterville Lake on the Pigeon River(PRM 39.0-41.5). In previous
studies,the fish collection sites in Waterville Lake have been designated 4A(PRM 41.5)and 4B
(PRM 39.0). Site 4A is located approximately 21.8 RM downstream from the Canton Mill
outfall,near the Messer Branch-Pigeon River confluence. Site 4B is in the vicinity of the
Wilkins Creek-Pigeon River confluence, approximately 24.3 RM downstream from the Canton
Mill outfall. Fish sampling will be conducted in the vicinity of each location described above;
however,the distance or effort at each station will depend on how difficult it is to collect target
fish species at that location. In 2005,common carp in the lower portion of the Waterville Lake
were extremely difficult to collect.
FISH COLLECTION TECHNIQUES AND TARGET SPECIES
The goal of the 2006 fish collection effort is one composite bottom feeder fillet sample at each
Waterville Lake sampling station 4A and 4B. Each composite consists of 3 to 5 similarly sized
(shortest specimen within 75% of the length of the longest) adult individuals of the target
species. Common carp (Cyprinus carpio)and channel catfish(Ictalunts punctatus) are the
targeted bottom feeder species at sites 4A and 4B. Every reasonable effort will be made to
collect the desired size, species, and number of fish.However,the outcome of sampling effort
Study Plan—2006 Dioxin Monitoring in Fish Tissue,Waterville Lake
University of Tennessee for Blue Ridge Paper Products Inc.Canton Mill
Page 2
each year is dependent on physical river conditions and the natural diversity and abundance of
target fishes at each location.
The field investigators will be equipped with an array of collecting gear, which will enable
sampling of all habitats regardless of river conditions. The US EPA recommends active methods
of fish collection in the Sampling Guidance Manual(Versar 1984), such as electrofishing,
trawling, angling, or seining. These are preferred over passive methods (e.g., gill nets,trap nets,
trot lines)because samples are collected from more defineable areas(Versar 1984). Electro-
fishing may be used at both locations (4A and 4B); gill nets may also be used in areas where
water depth will limit the electro-fishing gear. A boat electrofishing unit(pulsed direct current,
Smith Root Type VIA electro-fisher powered by a 240-volt, 5000-Watt generator) will be
provided. Electro-fishing techniques will follow those described in the National Dioxin Study
(Versar 1984). All gill nets will be pulled and examined on a regular basis to reduce specimen
stress or mortality,and specimens submitted for analysis will be selected for good health and
condition.
Fish collection techniques and level of effort(time)expended at both locations (4A and 4B)will
be recorded. Total study effort for the 4A/4B collections in 2005 took 460 gill-net hours and
approximately six hours of electro-fishing over a four-day period to obtain the necessary
specimens.Channel catfish were easily caught,but common carp were extremely difficult to
collect,particularly in the lower portion of the lake(4B).
In summary,fish tissue samples will be collected as follows:
• bottom-feeder composite—one composite bottom feeder fillet sample at each location
4A and 4B
• catfish composite—one composite catfish fillet sample at each location 4A and 4B
SAMPLE PREPARATION
All fish tissue samples will be prepared in accordance with U.S.EPA Region IV
recommendations (Cummingham 1990 as described in EA 2001a). To prevent cross-
contamination between sampling stations,all sampling equipment likely to come into contact
with the fish will be rinsed extensively with site water between stations.
Specimens collected at each location will be sorted by size and species, and target species
identified. UTK will obtain a 3 to 5-fish composite sample at each location(4A and 4B)which
meet the species/size objectives discussed earlier.All specimens retained will be immediately
placed on ice for later processing.All fish submitted for tissue analysis will be measured to the
nearest millimeter(TL) and weighed to the nearest gram(wet weight).
Following collection of channel catfish and common carp, each specimen will be prepared for
shipment and analysis. Samples will consist of epaxial muscle tissue and skin from one side of
the fish. Fillet samples will be prepared by removing scales (or removing the skin from
Study Plan—2006 Dioxin Monitoring in Fish Tissue,Waterville Lake
University of Tennessee for Blue Ridge Paper Products Inc.Canton Mill
Page 3
catfishes) and then making an incision behind the opercula(on both sides of the fish)from the
base of the spine(behind the skull)to just below the pectoral fin. Care will be taken to cut
through the epaxial muscle without puncturing the rib cage or gut lining. A second incision will
be made along the length of the spine to the caudal fin on both sides of the fish. The muscle will
be cut away from the rib cage to obtain a fillet. Fillet knives will be solvent rinsed(hexane and
acetone)between fish from different locations. Each composite sample will be wrapped in
aluminum foil(dull side toward sample), labeled, and placed on dry ice. One side fillets will be
sent to Sevem Trent Laboratory for analysis; the opposite side fillets will be retained by Blue
Ridge Paper as back-up fillets.
All individual specimens (fillets)composing a single composite sample will placed together in a
water-tight plastic bag labeled with the station name,sample number, and the number of samples
in that composite. All labels will contain following information: sample identification number,
sample location and station identification, sampling team initials, date of collection, species
name,and sample type(i.e.,fillet). A chain-of-custody form will be filled out for each cooler of
samples submitted for analysis, and each form will include composite specific information and
instructions.
All samples will be frozen solid prior to shipment to the analytical laboratory.The frozen
samples will be packed on dry ice and shipped via overnight delivery to Severn Trent Laboratory
(STL)—Sacramento for analysis.The back-up fillets will be retained in a freezer at the Canton
Mill until laboratory analytical results for the composite fillet samples are received and verified;
the back-up fillet samples will then be destroyed.
SAMPLE ANALYSIS
The composite fillet fish tissue samples received by STL will be analyzed for dioxin(2,3,7,8-
TCDD),furan(2,3,7,8-TCDF) and related isomers using EPA Method 8290(US EPA 1994).
Percent lipids will also be determined for each composite sample. STL will provide laboratory
analytical reports including QA/QC summaries and completed chain-of-custody forms
documenting receipt by the lab.
REPORTING
Results of 2006 dioxin in fish tissue sampling from Waterville Lake will be submitted to the NC
DENR within 180 days of the completion of field work as required by the Blue Ridge Paper
NPDES permit. The fish tissue sampling and analytical report will follow the general format of
prior year reports. Dioxin toxicity equivalent(TEQ)levels will be calculated for all 17
chlorodibenzo dioxin and furan(CDD/F) isomers included in EPA Method 8290. The TEQ of
each detectable isomer will be calculated based on the toxicity equivalent factor(TEF)for the
isomer provided by the World Health Organization(WHO 1997). The measured concentration
of each CDD/F isomer will be multiplied by its appropriate TEF to obtain a concentration of the
isomer equivalent to the toxicity of 2,3,7,8-TCDD, the most toxic of the CDD/F isomers. Non-
detectable concentrations will be treated as zero values for TEQ calculation. As requested by the
Study Plan—2006 Dioxin Monitoring in Fish Tissue,Waterville Lake

NC DHHS (Williams 2006),the TEQ results for the last two years will be presented in a
columnar, side-by-side format to allow easy comparison against health advisory action levels.

of dioxins and flamns in fish tissues from the Pigeon River downstream of the discharge from
the Blue Ridge paperm ll in Canton,North Carolina. This study plan was developed in
response to requirements in the mill's current NPDES permit(Permit No.NC0000272).
Changes to original permit conditions as detailed in letters from North Carolina Division of
Water Quality(NCDWQ)and North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services
(NCDHHS)dated 22 August 2001 and 31 August 2001,respectively have been incorporated
into this study plan. Section 2 of this study plan provides information regarding the locations
of the sampling stations. Section 3 details the techniques that will be used to collect fish at
each station and the target species. Section 4 describes the procedures that will be used to
prepare the collected fishes for tissue analysis. Section 5 specifies the analytical technique that
will be used to determine the concentrations of the different dioxin and fnran isomers in each
tissue sample. The Quality Assurance plan is presented in Section 6,and the project schedule,
monitoring report,and references are found in Sections 7, 8,and 9,respectively.

2. STATION LOCATIONS
Six stations have been established for the collection of fishes(Figure 2-1 and Table 2-1).
Station 1,the background site,is located at Pigeon River Mile(RM)64.5 adjacent to the
Canton Recreational Park, approximately 1.2 RM upstream from the Canton Mill outfall.
Except at very high flows, the Canton Mill dam blocks the movement of fishes thereby
preventing the interaction of control and monitoring station fishes. Station 2 is located at RM
59.0,upstream from Clyde,NC and approximately 4.3 RM downstream from the Canton Mill
outfall. Station 3 is located at RM 52.3 just upstream of the old Rt.209 bridge,approximately
11.0 RM downstream from the Canton Mill outfall. Stations 4A and 4B are located in
Waterville Lake at RM 41.5 and 39.0,respectively. Station 4A is located approximately 21.8
RM downstream from the Canton Mill outfall,near the Messer Branch-Pigeon River
confluence. Station 4B is in the vicinity of the Wilkins Creek-Pigeon River confluence,
approximately 24.3 RM downstream from the Canton Mill outfall. Stations 4A and 4B
correspond to the upper and lower ends,respectively,of Waterville Lake. Station 5 is at RM
19 near Bluffton,TN,44.3 miles downstream of the mill outfall. Fish sampling will be
conducted in the immediate vicinity of each location described above,however, the sample
reach may be extended somewhat, if necessary,to facilitate collection of the required number
Of fish.

3. FISH COLLECTION TECHNIQUES AND TARGET SPECIES
A listing of the Pigeon River fish collection techniques is provided below:
Station Number River Mile Sampling Technique
1 64.5 Electrofishing
2 59.0 Electrofishing
3 52.3 Electrofishing
4A 41.5 Gill nets
4B 39.0 Gill nets
5 19.0 Electrofishing
Except in Waterville Lake,the principal sampling gear will be electrofishing. Depending on
depth,either a pram or boat electrofisher will be used. Gillnetting is the most effective
technique for the collection of bottom-feeder species from the Waterville Lake monitoring
stations. Gill nets will be checked at least once a day,usually within 12 hours of being
deployed. Other appropriate sampling techniques may be used if necessary.
Field notes will be recorded at each sampling station including the type of sampling gear,level
of effort(time),flow and clarity conditions,and selected physiochemical data(e.g.,dissolved
oxygen,water temperature,and conductivity[electrofrshing locations only])using accepted
proceedures and equipment. All fishes submitted for tissue analysis will be measured(total
length),weighed(wet weight),examined for anomalies,and recorded on a standard Fisheries
Data Sheet(Figure 3-1).
The goal of the fish collection effort is to collect one composite bottom feeder fillet sample at
each of the six sampling stations. Each composite will consist of 3 to 5 similarly sized(shortest
specimen within 75%of the length of the longest)adult individuals of the target species.
Common carp will be the target species at Stations 2,3,4A,and 4B,with northern hog sucker
and black redhorse as alternative species in the riverine portion of the river below the mill(i.e.,
Stations 2 and 3). Common carp are absent at Stations 1 and 5. At these stations,black
redhorse will be the target bottom feeder,with northern hog sucker and smallmouth buffalo
being alternative species. Alternative representative bottom feeder species may be collected in
the rare event that these target species are not collected
In Waterville Lake,one additional fillet composite sample using either channel catfish or
flathead catfish will be collected at Stations 4A and 4B. Catfish are rare in the river between
the mill and Waterville Lake. However,in the event that three or more catfish of a similar size
are encountered at either Stations 2 or 3, a catfish fillet composite will be prepared for either or
both of these stations.
In addition to the fillet composites, a whole body composite consisting of 3-5 similarly sized
common carp will be collected at either Station 4A or 4B in Waterville lake.

Table 3-1 Fish Collection Techniques
Station Number Station Location Sampling Technique
1 Pigeon River Mile 64.5 Electrofishing
2 Pigeon River Mile 59.0 Electrofishing
3 Pigeon River Mile 52.3 Mectrofishing
4A Pigeon River Mile 41.5 Gill nets
4B Pigeon River Mile 39.0 Gill nets
5 Pigeon River Mile 19.0 Electrofishing
In summary,fish will be collected as follows:
c Bottom feeder fillet composite—one sample at all six stations
• Catfish fillet composite—one sample at Stations 4A and at 4B
• Common carp whole body composite--one sample from either Station 4A or 4B
• Catfish fillet composite—one sample at Stations 2 and at 3,if specimens are encountered

4. SAMPLE PREPARATION
Fillet samples will consist of the epaxial muscle tissue from one side of the fish. The fillet
from the other side will be retained as a backup until laboratory results are obtained. Bottom
feeder whole-body samples will consist of the entire fish. Specimens collected will be rinsed in
site water,stunned with a sharp blow to the head and placed on wet ice until processing.Each
fish selected for analysis will be weighed and measured. Fillet samples will be prepared by
removing all scales (or removing skin from catfishes)and subsequently making an incision
behind the opercula(on both sides of the fish)from the base of the spine(behind the skull)to
just below the pectoral fin. Care will be taken to not puncture the gut lining. A second incision
will be made along the length of the spine to the caudal fin on both sides of the fish. The
epaxial muscle will then be gently cut away from the rib cage to obtain a fillet. In this fashion,
all flesh and skin(except catfishes)will be obtained from head to tail. The fillets from
specimens comprising a particular composite will be combined,then the sample will be
wrapped in aluminum foil(dull side toward sample),placed in a water-tight plastic bag,labeled
(see Section 6),and placed on wet ice. Within 24 hours of processing,the samples will be
frozen.

5. ANALYSIS OF FISH TISSUE SAMPLES
Samples will be analyzed for dioxin using EPA Method 8290(U.S.EPA 1994). Percent lipids
will also be determined for each sample. The laboratory will measure the concentration of 17
isomers of chlorodibenzo dioxins and furans(CDD/F). The toxic equivalent CMQ)of each
detectable isomer will be calculated based on toxicity equivalent factors(TT3F)provided by the
World Health Organization(WHO 1997). The measured concentration of each CDD/F isomer
will be multiplied by its appropriate TEF to obtain a concentration of that isomer equivalent to
the toxicity of 2,3,7,8-TCDD,the most toxic of the many CDD/F isomers. As per the directive
of NCDHHS,non-detectable concentrations will be treated as zero values for TEQ calculations.

6. QUALITY ASSURANCE
The following procedures will be followed to prevent contamination of samples collected at
different stations or between composites collected at the same station. Dip nets,fish scalers,
and holding containers will be rinsed with site water prior to use at each station. All fish will
be rinsed in site water to remove any debris(e.g.,sediment)prior to processing. During
processing,the measuring board will be wrapped with clear plastic wrap and this wrap will be
changed among stations. Fillet knives will be solvent rinsed(hexane and acetone)between fish
from different stations. Each composite sample will be wrapped in aluminum foil(dull side
toward sample),labeled,and placed on dry ice within 24 hours of processing.
All fillets or whole bodies composing a single composite sample will be foil-wrapped, then
placed in a water-tight plastic bag labeled with the station name,sample number,and the
species in that composite. All labels will contain the following information:
• Sample identification number,
• Station identification,
• Sampling team initials,
• Date of sample collection,
• Species name,
• Sample type(ie.,fillet or whole body)
• A unique composite number
Chain-of-Custody(COC)sheets will be completed following sample preparation and
compositing. The composite identification number and corresponding number and type of fish
comprising that composite sample will be recorded on the COC. Copies of all COCs will be
retained.
Following completion of sampling,samples will be shipped on dry ice to the analytical
laboratory via an overnight courier. Upon receipt,the laboratory will compare the contents
with that noted on the COC sheets and will note the condition of the samples.

7. PROJECT SCHEDULE
To be consistent with past collections,all samples will be collected in August or September. A
final report will be provided to NCDEQ within 180 days of sampling.
11
S. MONITORING REPORT
Each annual monitoring report will include the sampling methods and procedures employed, a
description of the sampling locations,descriptions of each fish collected(e.g.,species,length,
and weight),as well as the results of the chemical analysis(reported as individual TCDD/F
isomers and 2,3,7,8-TCDD Toxic Equivalent Values). Also included in appropriate appendices
will be field notes,copies of all chain-of-custody sheets,and any pertinent memorandum or
communication record forms.
