However, all analyses performed under the permit must meet the requirements of Section D, Monitoring and Records, paragraph 3. Since no chemicals are added to the cooling water analyses for total residual chlorine, oil and grease, and chemical oxygen demand are not required: a . certified laboratory is most appropriate to conduct these analyses (should additives be considered in the future). Enclosed with this report (and provided via e-mail post -inspection) are guidance documents for temperature and pH analyses that have a 15-minute hold time (as noted in 40 CFR 136): most appropriate for on -site analyses. Please contact the inspector if you have any questions regarding the provided information.

The records associated with -the permit should be kept for a minimum of three years .(laboratory data for five years). Please contact the inspector if you have any questions regarding your permit requirements. The permittee should also keep records related to operational (when incubator is in service and discharging cooling water) and maintenance activities for review during the next compliance evaluation inspection.

HOLDING TIME: • Samples must be analyzed within 15 minutes of collection (40 CFR Part 136 Table II). METER CALIBRATION: • Instruments are to be calibrated according to the manufacturer's calibration procedure prior to analysis of samples each day compliance monitoring is performed. • Use a pH meter accurate and reproducible to 0.1 pH unit (as demonstrated daily by acceptable performance of a check standard buffer) with a range of 0 to 14 and equipped with temperature -compensation adjustment. The meter must be calibrated with at least two buffers. In addition to the calibration buffers, the meter calibration must be verified with a third standard buffer solution. The calibration and check standard buffers must bracket the range of the samples being analyzed. A portion of the buffer solutions should not be used for more than one calibration. Discard any used buffer portions. • The check standard buffer must read within t0.1 S.U. to be acceptable. If the meter verification does not read within f0.1 S.U., the meter must be recalibrated before any samples are analyzed. • When performing analyses away from the certified laboratory's primary location, a post analysis calibration verification using the check standard buffer must be analyzed at the end of the run. It is recommended that a mid -day check standard buffer be analyzed when samples are analyzed over an extended period of time. The post analysis check standard buffer(s) must read within t0.1 S.0 or corrective actions must be taken. General Information: • Samples shall be gently stirred during measurement. Steps must be taken to eliminate cross contamination between measurements (e.g., rinsing and blotting the electrode dry, dipping the electrode in stream multiple times, etc.). • The units of measure for pH analyses are Standard Units (S.U.). It is recommended that pH be read in one -hundredths (0.01). Values must be reported in tenths (0.1). It should be noted that many proficiency testing (PT) providers require samples be reported to one -hundredths. DOCUMENTATION: The following must be documented in indelible ink whenever sample analysis is performed 1. Date and time of sample collection. 2. Date and time of sample analysis to verify the 15 minute holding time is met. Alternatively, one time may be documented for collection and analysis with the notation that samples are measured in situ or immediately at the sample site. 3. Sample site including facility name and location, ID, etc. 4. Collector's/analyst's name or initials. 5. Meter calibration and meter calibration time(s). 6. True values of buffers used for calibration. 7. True value for the check standard buffer. 8. Value obtained for the check standard buffer (verification of t 0.1 S.U.). 9. True value and value obtained for the post analysis calibration verification(s), where applicable. 10. Report all data values to the nearest 0.1 pH unit. 11. Traceability for chemicals, reagents, standards and consumables. 12. Instrument identification. 13. Parameter analyzed. 14. Data qualifier(s), when applicable. 15. Equipment maintenance (recommended). Refer to Quality Assurance Policies for Field Laboratories (at http://Portal.ncdenr oro/web/wa/lab/cerUfiield/policy) for additional quality assurance and quality control requirements.

Below are some companies that sell "pocket" meters that meet the requirements of the attached procedure. Specifically, the pH meter must be able to read to 0.1 pH units. I have also attached an example log sheet to facilitate documentation of the required calibration; monitoring results can be noted on the bottom of the form when monitoring of your discharge is completed. If Howard has any question please do not hesitate to contact me. I'll be leaving early today but in all next week.

Parker, Environmental Engineer II Person contacted and telephone number: Howard Gore, (704) 872-1482. 5. Directions to site: From the jct. of Hwy. 64 and SR 2155 (Swann Rd.) in eastern Iredell County, travel northwest on SR 2155 = 0.7 mile and turn left on SR 2182 (McAllister Lane). Travel = 0.3 mile on SR 2182 and the entrance to the Case Farms site is on the left side of SR 2182 via a dirt access road. 6. Discharge point(s), list for all discharge points: - Latitude: 35 ° 49' 45" Longitude: 80 ° 46' 15" Attach a USGS Map Extract and indicate treatment plant site and discharge point on map. USGS Quad No.: D 15 SE 7. Site size and expansion area consistent with application: Yes. There is sufficient area for the construction of WWT facilities, if necessary. 8. Topography (relationship to flood plain included): Hilly, 3-8% slopes. 9. Location of nearest dwelling: Approx. 500f feet from the point of discharge. Page Two 10. Receiving stream or affected surface waters: U. T. to Beaver Creek a. Classification: C b. River basin and subbasin no.: Yadkin 030706 C. Describe receiving stream features and pertinent downstream uses: There is no receiving stream at the point of discharge. The effluent will have to travel a considerable distance (> 1000 feet) overland before it reaches surface waters. PART II - DESCRIPTION OF DISCHARGE AND TREATMENT WORKS 1. a. Volume of wastewater: 15-35 GPD b. What is the current permitted capacity: N/A C. Actual treatment capacity of current facility (current design capacity): N/A d. Date(s) and construction activities allowed by previous ATCs issued in the previous two years: N/A e. Description of existing or substantially constructed WWT facilities: There are no existing WWT facilities nor are any proposed. f. Possible toxic impacts to surface waters: There are no additives placed in the cooling water, therefore, no toxic impacts are expected. 2. Residual handling and utilization/disposal scheme: There are no residuals generated. 3. Treatment Plant Classification: No rating (does not meet the minimum criteria for a class I rating). 4. SIC Code(s): 0254 Wastewater Code(s): 14 MTU Code(s): N/A PART III - OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION Is this facility being constructed with Construction Grant Funds or are any public monies involved (municipals only)? Public monies were not used in the construction of this facility. 2. Special monitoring or limitations (including toxicity) requests: None at this time. 3. Important SOC or Compliance. Schedule dates: This facility is neither under an SOC nor is one being proposed at this time. 4. Alternative Analysis Evaluation a. Spray Irrigation and Subsurface Disposal: There appears to be sufficient area for the construction of non -discharge disposal facilities, however, it seems impractical, based on the extremely low flow proposed, to force the applicant to consider these alternatives when the discharge will most likely never leave his property and it consists entirely of cooling water. Page Three b. Connect to regional sewer system: None presently available to the site. PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS The applicant has requested the reissuance of the subject Certificate of Coverage (COC) for the discharge of non -contact cooling water from Incubators used in the production of hatchery chicks. At the present time, the wastewater discharges onto the ground behind the hatchery. It is very doubtful, based on the current flow rate, that the effluent will ever reach surface waters, which are estimated to be at least 1000± feet from the site. The applicant owns all of the property between the point where the wastewater discharges onto the ground and the receiving stream. It is recommended that the COC be reissued as requested.

Facility and Address: Case Farms, L.L.C. 385 Pilch Road Post Office Box 729 Troutman, N.C. 28166 2. Date of Investigation: August 20, 1996 3. Report Prepared By: Michael L. Parker,"Environ. Engr. II 4. Person Contacted and Telephone Number: Marty Greene, (704) 528-4501, Howard Gore. 5. Directions to Site: From the jct. of hwy. 64 and SR.2155 (Swann Rd.) in eastern Iredell County, travel northwest on SR 2155 - 0.7 mile and turn left on SR 2182 (McAllister Lane). Travel t.0.3.mile on SR 2,182 and the entrance to the Case Farms site is on the left side of SR 2182 via a dirt access road. 6. Discharge Point(s), List for all discharge Points: - Latitude: 35° 49' 45" Longitude: 80° 4.6' 15" Attach a USGS Map Extract. and indicate treatment,plant site and discharge point on,map: USGS Quad No.: D 15 SE 7. Site size and expansion area consistent with application: Yes. There is sufficient area for .the construction of OWT facilities,' if necessary. 8. Topography (relationship to flood plain included): Hilly, 3- 8% slopes. 9. Location of Nearest Dwelling: Approx. 500f feet from the point. of discharge. M Page Two 10. Receiving Stream or Affected Surface Waters: U. T. to Beaver Creek a. Classification: C b. River Basin and Subbasin No.: Yadkin 030706 C. Describe receiving stream features and pertinent downstream uses: There is no receiving stream -at the point of discharge. The effluent will have to travel a considerable distance (>1000 feet) overland before it reaches surface waters. PART II - DESCRIPTION OF DISCHARGE AND TREATMENT WORKS 1. a. Volume of Wastewater: 15-35 GPD b. What is the current permitted capacity: N/A C. Actual treatment capacity of current facility (current design capacity): N/A d. Date(s) and construction activities allowed by previous ATCs issued in the previous two years: N/A e. Descriptionof existing or substantially constructed WWT facilities: There are no existing WWT facilities nor are any proposed. f. Possible toxic impacts to surface waters: There are no additives placed in the cooling water, therefore, no toxic impacts are expected. g• Pretreatment Program (POTWs only): Not Needed. 2. Residual handling and utilisation/disposal scheme: There will be no -residuals generated. 3. Treatment Plant Classification: No rating (did not meet the minimum criteria for a class I rating). 4. SIC Code(s): 0254 Wastewater Code(s): 14 5. MTU Code(s): N/A PART III - OTHER PERTINENT.INFORMATION I. Is,.this facility being constructed with Construction Grant Funds or are any public monies involved (municipals only)? No 2. Special monitoring or limitations (including toxicity) requests: None at this time. 3. Important SOC/JOC or Compliance Schedule dates: N/A Page Three 4. Alternative Analysis Evaluation a. Spray.Irrigation and Subsurface.Disposal: There appears to be sufficient area for the construction of non -discharge disposal facilities for either spray irrigation or subsurface disposal. It seems impractical,.based on the extremely low flow proposed, to force the applicant to consider these alternatives when the discharge will most likely never leave his property and'it consists. entirely of cooling water. b. Connect to regional sewer system: None available to the site. PART IV —EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS The applicant has requested the issuance of a General Permit for the discharge of non -contact cooling water from Incubators used in the production of hatchery chicks. A flow rate of no more than 35 gpd has been proposed. The applicant plans to allow the wastewater to discharge onto the ground behind the hatchery.,It is very doubtful, based on the proposed flow rate, that the effluent will everreach surface waters. Furthermore, since surface waters are at least 1000± feet from the site, there is also no reason the require the applicant to extend the outfall to the receiving stream. The applicant owns all of the property between the discharge point and the receiving.stream. It is recommended that a GP.be issued as requested:. ;?4 �/, S-z,/ Rz- .
