PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The existing wastewater generated from the Belmont Hosiery

and some noncontact cooling water from a cooling tower. The
cooling water, which may contain biocide(s), only discharges from
April through October. The biocide(s) used for the cooling water
may have not been approved by the Division. Therefore, it is
necessary for the Company to submit a request to the Division for
the use of biocide(s) in the cooling water.
It is recommended that a General Permit be issued to replace
the existing NPDES discharge Permit.

5. Mas_�i_LDay_Measurements
a. The "monthly average discharge: is defined as the total mass of all
daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on
which daily discharges are sample and measured, divided by the number
of daily discharges samples and/or measured during stich month. It is
therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the
pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by
the number of days the tests were reported. The limitation is
identified as "Daily Average" or "Monthly Average" in Part I of the
permit.
b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total. mass of
all. daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar week
(Sunday -Saturday) on. which daily discharges are sampled and measured,
divided by the number of daily discharges samples and/or measured
during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by
adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then
dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This
limitation -is iderit.:if.ied as "Weekly Average" in Part. I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily discharge" is tha total mass ('v;e.ight:) of a
pollutant discharged during a calendar clay. If on.l.y orate sample is
taken during any calendar day the weight of pol.luto-trt calculated from
it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as
"Daily Maximum," in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as th.e. total mass of all
daily discharges sample and/or measured during the calendar year on
which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number
of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year.. It is,
therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the Weights of
pollutants found each day oftheyear and them dividing this sum by the
number- of days the tests were reported. This limitation is defined as
"Annual Average" in Part I of the permit.

Part II
Page 12 of 14
6. Concentration Measurement
a. The "average monthly concentration, other than for fecal coliform
bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges
samples 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 mr.n of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the
concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the
arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected
during that calendar day. The average monthly count. for fecal coliform
bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar month. This limitation is.identified as "Monthly Average" or
"Daily Average's under "Other Limits" 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 da-ily discharges sampled
and/or measu..red during such week (arithmetic mean of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the
concentration of a composite sample or in the case. of grab samples is the
arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during
that calendar day. The average weekly count for fecal coliform bacteria is
the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar
week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other
Limits" in Part I of the permit.
C. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant
discharge during a calendar day. It is identified as "Daily Maximum"
unriE-r "Other Limits" i.rL Part T of the. Permit:
d. The "average, annual con.centrati..on, other then for fecal coliform bacteria,
is t.ho 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 ar-ithmetic mean (weighted by
flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The
average yearly count for fecal coliform bacter.in :is the, geometric mean
of the counts for samples collected during a calendar year.. This limitation
is identified as "Annual average" under "Other. Limits" in Part I of the
permit-.

Part II
Page 13 of 14
7. Other Measurements
a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours
average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean
of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar month.
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time
of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the
total discharge.
8. Types of Samples
a. Composite Sample: These samples consist of grab samples collected at
equal intervals and combined proportional to flow, a sample continuously
collected proportionally to flow, or equal volumes taken at varying time
intervals. If a composite sample is obtained from grab samples, the
following requirements apply. The intervals between influent grab
samples shall be no greater than hourly. Intervals between effluent grab
samples shall be no greater than hourly except where the detention time
of the wastewater in the facility is greater than 24 hours, in which
case, the interval between grab samples shall be no greater in number of
hours than the detention time in number of days; provided, however, in
no case may the time between effluent grab samples be greater than six
hours nor the number of grab samples less than four during any discharge
period of 24 hours or less.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a
